Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Chapter 81 Yin Yang Stone

But whether or not this orb is the legendary Suihou Zhu, Wu Liang has already developed a huge interest in it.

Since he decided to carry out archaeological research in this era, he would have to go in and out of the tomb often in the future, and lighting was a problem that must be overcome.

In this era, although torches, oil lamps, and even candles of great value can be used for lighting, the stability and illumination range of these lighting equipment are very limited. Orbs that can replace flashlights and cold fire sticks become especially critical.

"Brother Dianwei, please help me to remove the orb from Zhulong's mouth, I want this thing."

Thinking of this, Wu Liang immediately smiled at Dian Wei.

This candle dragon hangs on the dome, and the distance between the orb and the ground is nearly three meters, which is equivalent to the height of a basketball hoop. Wu Liang's current body is only about 1.8 meters tall, even if he stretches his arms and jumps up, it will be enough. Relatively reluctant.

But Dian Wei is nearly two meters tall and is a famous general with amazing strength. It shouldn't be difficult to think about.

"Good to say."

Wen Yan Dianwei nodded, turned around and jumped up, reached out and gently scooped the orb out of the candle dragon's mouth, and put his hands in front of Wu Liang.

"As expected of the Dianwei brothers, good skills."

Wu Liang complimented and reached out and took the orb over.

This orb is as warm and smooth as jade, and it feels quite good. It seems that the material should be a very special fluorite. As for whether there are other characteristics besides lighting, it will be investigated in the future.

But for the time being, he didn't plan to wrap this orb, because the tomb still needed to use it for lighting.

Holding the orb in the palm of his hand, Wu Liang continued to investigate other furnishings in the inner room.

This inner room is not so much a tomb, but rather a royal residence built in equal proportions.

Indoor beds, food cases, book cases, object cases, and screens are all available, all of which are furniture for normal life, and the production process is very fine. Almost every piece of furniture is engraved with exquisite animal patterns and cloud patterns.

It's just that these furniture are all carved from more precious solid-colored stones in order to last for a long time.

This is probably the experience summed up by King Liu of Guangchuan after he went to rob tombs many times. Even if the wooden furniture is made of the best materials, there will always be a day of decay, but the stone materials can be preserved forever.

Just like the "Tomb Raiders Notes" that Wu Liang was going to write, he also planned to use slate seal carving in order to save it for later generations. Is this what "heroes" see the same way?

On or in these furniture, there are some more daily life utensils, the materials are gold, jade or bronze, all of which are rare and precious cultural relics in later generations.

On the large bookcase, Wu Liang also saw a jade article recorded in historical documents:
It was a fist-sized jade toad, with a smooth, smooth abdomen and a hollow belly. There were still some dried ink marks inside. It was said that it was the funeral object of Jin Linggong.

When Liu went to rob the Jinling Cemetery, almost all the sacrificial objects in the tomb were rotten and unrecognizable. Only this jade toad was new and bright, and Liu went to use it as a tool for storing water and studying ink.

Unexpectedly, after Liu died, he also brought it into the tomb.

However, Wu Liang picked up this jade toad and observed it carefully for a long time, but he didn't see anything special. If he wanted to come and go, he just collected it as a trophy. Otherwise, why would he use it to store water and study ink?

Look carefully at these furniture and appliances.

Apart from asking Dian Wei to collect some relatively heavy gold objects, he didn't find anything particularly worth starting with.

In the end, Wu Liang finally focused his attention on the bed behind another small moire painted screen.

It was a four-legged flat bed with horns that had just begun to appear in the Han Dynasty. The four corners of the bed were decorated with teeth, and on the left and right sides of the bed were two equally naked women.

However, unlike those young women in the outer room, these women are very plump, and their height and physique are not inferior to men. It is estimated that they must have at least 200 pounds before their death...

Even without looking at the murals this time, Wu Liang could roughly guess their purpose through the physical characteristics of the four women.

When the weather is cold, they will surround the host and use their bodies to resist the cold, euphemistically called "meat screens".

In a bed surrounded by four "meat screens".

Wu Liang finally saw a set of golden jade clothes lying flat.

This should be the real corpse of King Liu Qu of Guangchuan, probably because he still wanted to live a happy life after his death, or he was unwilling to accept the fact that he had died. , using only jade clothes that can "keep the body immortal".

However, this corpse obviously cannot be verified like the tanned corpse above.

Because he has completely turned into a dead bone, the golden thread jade clothing has collapsed because of this, leaving only some yellow-brown traces of rottenness on the jade piece and the bed near the jade clothing...

As for the mouth pockets, eye lids, nasal plugs, shengzhi mask boxes and gang door plugs that were placed on the corpse.

Wu Liang had no interest at all, so he didn't plan to take apart the golden thread and jade clothes to check.

"It seems that there are only these, ready to withdraw... just wait!"

Wu Liang himself probed around the golden thread and jade clothes, but didn't find anything worth starting, and finally decided to stop.

At this time, a white pebble with a shape and size similar to soap at the head of the bed attracted his attention again.

This is a very unremarkable oval-shaped pebble, but it is also so unremarkable that it is even more strange to place it in such a place that is almost close to Liu.

Wu Liang carefully held the pebble in his hand, only to find that there was an inscription on the back of it - "Yin and Yang Stone".

"Could this be the magical stone recorded in the "Shui Jing Zhu"?"

Wu Liang was taken aback.

It is recorded in "Shui Jing Zhu" that the yin and yang stone is a kind of strange stone that can predict the weather. It usually looks like an ordinary white stone. If there is rain one day, the stone will turn into a dark color in advance, which is more dark than later generations. The weather forecast is more accurate.

Later scientific research institutions have also confirmed the authenticity of yin and yang stones.

It is speculated that the main component of this stone should be calcium carbonate, but it also contains some other unknown and peculiar components. In sunny days, the air humidity is low, and this strange stone will appear white, and in rainy days, the air humidity is high, this strange stone will be Because it absorbs the moisture in the air, it turns dark.

"If it's really a Yin-Yang Stone, it's also a very useful thing, take it."

Although there is no way to verify the authenticity of this "Yin-Yang Stone" for the time being, this did not prevent Wu Liang from taking it to study slowly, so he hid it in Dian Wei's arms.

To avoid going out for a while and being discovered by Bai Jingjing...

……

This time, it is really possible to leave, and the trip went very smoothly.

A mysterious orb for lighting and a yin and yang stone that can predict the weather are all artifacts for archaeological research in the future. Wu Liang expressed his satisfaction with such a harvest.

But when he and Dian Wei walked out of the inner room contentedly, they immediately encountered a surprising situation!

"Huh? Where's Bai Jingjing?"

Wu Liang was taken aback.

I saw that outside the inner room, Bai Jingjing, who had fallen to the ground, had disappeared, leaving only a pile of shriveled clothes still in human shape!
It's as if it evaporated in place!
"Could it be that you went out early after waking up?"

Dian Wei asked subconsciously.

"Impossible, the clothes are all here, do you go out and run naked?"

Wu Liang picked up a small red apron that was still warm from the clothes, and said with certainty, "What's more, we are still here, she wants to stay to supervise me, there is no reason to leave on her own."

"How is that..."

Dian Wei looked puzzled, not knowing how to explain.

"Hard to say."

Wu Liang was the same, looking around the empty tomb, frowned and said: "If you don't take her out, the tomb keeper will definitely not give up, a bloody battle is inevitable, but here is such a small place, she can Where are you going?"

While speaking, Wu Liang suddenly regretted that he should not have left Bai Jingjing outside alone, and even regretted that he should not have released Bai Jingjing before coming in for the second time.

After seeing Qian in the tomb of King Liang Xiao, how strange or terrifying things appear in the tomb are within his psychological acceptance.
