Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Chapter 78 White Jade Cup and Spit Pot

Even Dian Wei, who had been calm before, showed a strange look in his eyes at this moment, and then the strange look quickly turned into vigilance.

Obviously, few normal men can calm down with such a beautiful picture.

But it also depends on the environment. In this kind of ancient tomb buried deep underground, I am afraid that such a picture is not only amazing, but also indescribably weird!

Because of this, Dian Wei has quietly moved in front of Wu Liang, making a gesture of being ready to resist danger at any time.

At this time, Wu Liang said in a calm tone: "Don't worry, they are no longer living people, but corpses that have been specially treated."

"Corpse? How could a corpse be so alive?"

After hearing this, Bai Jingjing still hid behind Wu Liang with a suspicious expression on her face, and carefully poked her head out to aim at those "young girls".

Wu Liang did not answer immediately, but held the copper dagger in his hand, walked around Dian Wei to the nearest "young girl" who was standing, and looked carefully from top to bottom, front to back.

After such a close look, a new discovery was made.

The whole body of this "young girl" is wrapped in a transparent film of turpentine or some other material, presumably to lock in the moisture in the body as much as possible?
In addition, there are round holes the size of copper coins on the top of her head, two wrists, navel, and two ankles.

The closer to these round holes, the more intense the smell of medicine that fills the entire tomb. Wu Liang just got closer and accidentally smelled it, and his irritated nose almost burst into tears. This smell is more irritating than mustard. .

Even the unknown transparent film has been smoked into black and blue, and if you don't look carefully, you may think that the "young girl" has tattooed on these parts.

"These women should be medicine corpses."

Wu Liang finally came to a conclusion, turned around and explained to Dian Wei and Bai Jingjing, "Look, there are six small holes on the body of the corpse, covering almost all parts of the human body, and these are probably the holes used to pour the special antiseptic decoction. , so that the decoction flows all over the body, so as to achieve the effect that the corpse will not be bad all year round."

"However, this method of production is extremely cruel. The person used must be a living person. If the blood of a dead person will coagulate, the soup can no longer be injected, and it will not be able to maintain the skin color and appearance of a living person."

These words were mainly addressed to Dian Wei, so that Dian Wei would not have to be too nervous.

As for Bai Jingjing, who was in the opposite camp, Wu Liang was not obliged to tell her so many details.

However, this kind of "medicine corpse" was actually Wu Liang's first contact with it.

Before that, he had only heard of the more famous "poisonous corpse". The so-called "medicine corpse" was also his speculation based on the "poisonous corpse". Not too much difference, except that the "poisonous corpses" were injected with mercury, not the soup of unknown composition in the "medicine corpses" in front of them.

From the effect point of view, "medicine corpse" should be an upgraded version of "poison corpse".

After all, no matter how the "poisonous corpse" is treated, the skin of the corpse will eventually turn a creepy blue color due to poisoning, but this "medicine corpse" can still keep the corpse as bloody as a living person.

It's just that Wu Liang couldn't understand how this was done in the Western Han Dynasty.

After all, even in the technologically advanced 21st century, it seems that he has never heard of such a magical decoction in the world, which is simply incomprehensible...

But think again about the tomb robbery experience of Guangchuan King Liuqu recorded in historical documents:
"Jin Linggong's tomb is very magnificent. The four corners are all made of stones for dogs to hold candles. Stone men and women of more than forty are standing in attendance. There is no sign of recovery of the coffin. The corpse is still not bad."

"The tomb of King You is very tall and strong. The gate of Xian was opened. It was all chalk. After removing the depth of more than ten feet, I got mica. It was more than a foot deep. I saw traces of more than a hundred corpses crossing each other. All of them are immortal. The only man. The rest are all women. .Whether sitting or lying down. There are still standing ones. Clothes are not different from strangers."

From this point of view, it seems that an astonishing conclusion can be drawn: this magical craft of making sacrificial figurines has actually existed for a long time, but it was lost in the endless history at some point.

After all, since the Han Dynasty, the custom of using human beings for burial has been gradually abandoned by people, and even basically eliminated in the Eastern Han Dynasty. This kind of craft is completely useless, and it is reasonable to lose it.

"If so, I don't know what kind of pain these women will endure when they die..."

After hearing Wu Liang's explanation, Bai Jingjing felt a little relieved, then frowned slightly and subconsciously began to sympathize with these "young girls".

However, she only spoke halfway, and she should have realized that her identity should not make such remarks, and then said to Wu Liang with some annoyance: "...you know so many medical principles that ordinary people don't know, and you boast of medical skills Better than Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing, why can't you hang a pot to help the world like those two genius doctors, and choose to do this shady thing of stealing, wouldn't it insult the talent bestowed on you by heaven?"

"Is Fang Ji Bian very advanced?"

Wu Liang asked back.

At this time, "medical skills" belonged to "fang skills" and were regarded as "low professions". In fact, they did not have much social status. According to historical records, even Hua Tuo often regretted practicing medicine in his life even in his later years.

"Humph……"

Bai Jingjing, an aborigine, naturally knew this, she was at a loss for words when she was asked, she hummed softly and stopped talking, just followed the past and looked at those "young women" curiously.

However, unlike Wu Liang and Dian Wei, she does not just look at these figurines with a "critical" eye, sometimes stares at some parts of the figurines for a long time, and then looks at herself, sometimes showing envy The look, sometimes showing a look of pride, is unreasonable.

After watching this for a while, Bai Jingjing suddenly couldn't help asking a strange question: "Why do these women keep their mouths open? Is it because the death was too painful?"

"It's because the owner of the tomb wants them to die with their mouths open."

Wu Liang said without turning his head, "If my guess is correct, those standing women should be called 'White Jade Cups', and those kneeling women should be called 'Xiang Spit Pots'."

"What is a white jade cup? What is a fragrant saliva pot?"

Bai Jingjing was even more puzzled.

"Isn't there a painting on the wall?"

Wu Liang stopped paying attention to these figurines for a long time. While observing other settings in the hall, he pointed to the east and west walls of these figurines and said.

Bai Jingjing hurriedly looked over.

But there was indeed a pair of brightly colored murals on the walls on both sides.

The painting on the west side of the mural is a banquet scene, and the guests seated in the banquet.

There are more than a dozen naked young girls in the venue. They either use wine vessels to pour wine into their own mouths, or stand in front of the guests and bend down to deliver the wine from their mouths to the guests, allowing the guests to do whatever they want...
