Years: Salted fish life since going to the countryside.

Chapter 573 Historic Mystery
After Han Li used his mental energy to explore the stone wall, he not only stopped but also called to the two lynxes in front of him.

After carefully examining the stone wall, I found an upper-circle lower passage on the right side that could only accommodate one person. This passage was very rough. Only a little bit of the original gate was left that had not been completely decayed.

But what makes Han Li feel a little strange is that whether it is an ancient tomb or a bearded stronghold, there should be defense facilities, but there is nothing around this stone wall?Anyway, there was nothing within 32 meters of Han Li's mental energy.

Now that he's here, Han Li wants to go in and take a look even if it's the most popular Five Immortals Cave in the Northeast. Moreover, he believes that the two lynxes won't lead him to this place for no reason.

So Han Li asked the two lynxes to follow him, exerting his mental strength to the maximum, and replaced the battery of the flashlight in his hand, and then walked inside step by step.

Han Li walked through this passage and found that there was a cave inside, a blank land with a large fire pit made of piled stones in the middle. There were three caves on the stone wall at the end in front, with a big hole in the middle and two small holes next to it. There are obvious artificial foundations here.

But what the hell is this place that doesn’t look like a tomb or a cottage?

Han Li kept walking forward, and he had already seen the three caves clearly before he had enough mental strength.

In addition to the bird droppings, animal hair and various kinds of excrement that should be found in caves.

There is a fire pit and some rough earthen jars in the small cave on the left. There is spring water dripping from the wall. Below is a relatively large earthen jar, but now the water is full, and it overflows along the cracks in the rocks. Seeping into the stone wall, there is only ice and no water in this season.

There is nothing in the small cave on the right, but the soil on the ground seems to be formed by the decay of wood, and there are traces of some kind of decay of metal.

There is a skeleton in the middle of the large cave. Next to the skeleton is a sword-shaped object. There are two black and red wooden boxes in the corner. There are also some mud formed by decayed wood in the rest of the place.

But this wouldn’t make the lynx bring him all the way here?But Han Li understood this problem after he walked into the cave in the middle.

Because the two lynxes actually started to circle and rub around the two black and red wooden boxes, making whining sounds of joy in their mouths, and licking them with their tongues from time to time.

What's happening here?Han Li carefully inspected the two boxes and initially concluded that they should be made of dark wood. No wonder the other items were all decayed and only these boxes remained.

Mentally, I found that most of the boxes were filled with pens, inks, paper and inkstones, and there were no hidden weapons.

But Han Li didn't dare to open them directly. It looked like they were old at first glance. Who knew if the contents inside would rot if they came into contact with the air after he opened the box.

So Han Li carefully used decomposition to transfer the contents of the box to the decomposition space, so that he could safely inspect it without worrying about damaging the items inside.

Now Han Li had time to think about these two empty boxes. Why did the lynx have such a soft spot for them?I carefully recalled what I learned about the effects of dark wood from the Internet in my previous life.

First, ward off evil spirits and pray for blessings.Gloomy wood is a kind of spiritual wood with a unique aura, which can remove unclean things and play a role in calming the mind. Therefore, gloomy wood products are often considered to be magical objects that ward off evil spirits, eliminate disasters and ensure peace. It can be ruled out as more fantasy,

Second, deodorize and preserve.After thousands of years of carbonization, dark wood naturally has strong adsorption properties and can absorb odors and moisture in the air, thus antiseptic, deodorizing and purifying the air.This doesn't seem to be relevant either.

Third, decorative items.Various jewelry accessories, furniture, sculptures and other handicrafts made of sunken wood can be placed indoors to prevent corrosion, deodorize and freshen the air, which is why they are still preserved today.

Fourth, medicinal value.The medicinal value of Yinchen wood is recorded in "Compendium of Materia Medica": "Oud, sweet, salty, flat, detoxifying, and also used to treat cholera and vomiting dysentery. Take the scraps and grind them into powder, and drink it with warm wine." It will emit a delicate fragrance, which can make people refreshed and happy when smelled regularly.

It seemed that the fourth thing attracted the lynxes, but Han Li carefully inspected the two lynxes and found that there was nothing wrong with them. The only thing left was that they were refreshed and in good spirits.

Could it be that dark wood is to lynx what catnip is to felines?However, lynx seems to be a cat, so Han Li is a little confused about this.

Han Li picked up the box and shook it back and forth. As expected, the eyes of the two lynxes were following the box. It seemed like that.

Although the gloomy wood is precious, it is far from comparable to the two lynxes.

So Han Li directly decomposed one of the slightly smaller boxes into beads with holes in the middle, and decomposed the processed animal tendons into thin ropes, threading them through each of the two little ones. Three beads of gloomy wood, they will soon achieve each other's purpose by adding to each other.

After Han Li tied the two lynxes around their necks, they indeed began to surround each other.

At this time, Han Li checked the time. It was already past two o'clock in the afternoon. It would be dark in two hours and it was not suitable to go back.

Han Li observed these caves carefully. Whether it was the weapons in the nearby caves or the swords in the middle cave, because the spring water dripping from the nearby caves caused the climate here to be relatively humid, there were only a few left. It was impossible to tell what they were from behind the ground, but Han Li still put them away.

The next step was to clear out a place to spend the night. These things were too simple for Han Li. After he was done, he lit a bonfire and started boiling water to make tea.At the same time, Han Li devoted his mental energy to the decomposition space to check the things he had just put in. He didn't know this, but he was shocked when he saw it.

There were jade articles, seals, pens, ink, cloth, inkstones, and bamboo slips. These were originally nothing and could only prove the extraordinary identity of the skeleton in the cave. But the official position on the seal was what surprised Han Li.

Although the characters above were traditional Chinese characters written in strange official scripts, Han Li could still make out the characters printed by the General.

Now it becomes interesting. General is the official name of our ancient military generals.

Already in the Spring and Autumn Period, the Qin State had gold seals and purple ribbons.

The great general of the Eastern Han Dynasty was on the throne of the Third Duke. In the middle of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the foreign relatives were in power as the great general, and they were collectively called the Five Prefectures together with the Grand Tutor and the Third Lord. Even in the Tang Dynasty, the great general was still a second-rank minister.

There were only a handful of people in history who could obtain this official position. Han Li's originally lazy look immediately became energetic.

I immediately found a roll of cloth full of words, but the words on it were not so easy to identify. But this is not about refining medicine or practicing martial arts. You can roughly figure out what the seal is.

While Han Li was drinking tea, he racked his brains and guessed the identity of the owner of the skeleton.

The situation of the seal has been figured out, but the identity of the owner of this skeleton is very interesting.

How should I put it? He is famous because he has a father whom everyone is familiar with.

It is said that he is not famous, but most people really don't know him. This person is Yuan Shao's youngest son "Yuan Mai", whose courtesy name is Xianyong in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

"Three Kingdoms Wei Shu Liu Biography of Dong Er Yuan Liu" records that Yuan Shao refused to attack Cao Cao because of his son's illness. At that time, Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi, and Yuan Shang were all adults. The sick child was Yuan Mai.

"Three Kingdoms: Biography of Yuan Shao" records: "(Yuan) Shang had a younger brother named Mai, and he went to Liaodong with Shang."

As for Yuan Mai's ending, there is no mention in the historical materials, so it has become an eternal mystery that is still uncertain. In other words, even those historical experts do not know what happened to him in the end.

But the words on this scroll of cloth were written by Yuan Mai. It turns out that history books record that Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang arrived at Gongsun Kang's place in Liaodong and planned to kill Gongsun Kang to seize Liaodong.

Unexpectedly, Gongsun Kang took advantage of him first. Gongsun Kang killed Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang and presented their heads to Cao Cao.

But no one knew that before they went to Gongsun Kang's place, in order to ensure the continuation of the family, they first sent their younger brother Yuan Mai and some dead men of the family to the mountains.

If Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang can succeed, they will send someone to pick up Yuan Mai. If they don't come for a long time, they have failed. At that time, they will ask their younger brother to take the family's dead men to the north, as far away from Cao Cao as possible to avoid him eradicating the roots.

Of course, they were not walking blindly. The Yuan family had the rough route recorded by Su Wu, the Marquis of Guannei, when he came back from herding sheep in Beihai (Lake Baikal). They also agreed that if there was a chance to meet up, the location would be in Beihai.

When the dead men of the Yuan family informed Yuan Mai of the news, they began to flee all the way north.

Unfortunately, there are not many people here at all, and supplies cannot be replenished at all. Most of them can only rely on hunting to survive.

Of course, they also underestimated the harsh climate here, and they didn't feel it until the salt carried by the team was exhausted.

While their bodies still had some strength, many dead soldiers came out of this residence, intending to take a rest before continuing northward.

Unfortunately, after the cave was completed, the dead soldiers all died outside one by one as they went hunting. When the last person went out and did not come back, Yuan Mai packed up all the things, washed his body with water, and put on the latest clothes. He took good clothes, arranged his clothes, kowtowed in the direction of Runan, and then killed himself with a sword.

After Han Li guessed the contents on the scroll, he couldn't help but feel a little sad in his heart. The fourth generation and the third prince, or perhaps the fifth generation and the fourth prince, ended up like this.

Therefore, people should keep a low profile and be patient. Most people who are too outstanding will not end well.

But Han Li immediately thought, does this count as revealing a historical mystery?
