Huadu Xiaoxuanyi

Chapter 129

There was nothing unusual around them, so everyone strode forward and walked up to the steps in front of them. After bypassing a small stone platform, there was another door, this time it was a normal-sized door.

Wu Di checked again vigilantly, and after confirming that there was no danger, he directed everyone to continue to open the door. This time, the space was in the shape of a heptagon, with a sarcophagus placed in the center, and a house with a closed door in each of the other seven corners.

There are some words engraved on the walls outside those houses, which should be the introduction of the names, but unfortunately they are no longer clearly visible.Ma Lan summoned more than a dozen birds to assist in the lighting, which illuminated the place very brightly, and the line of sight was completely unobstructed.

So far, Lin Ruofan and the others have not yet discovered the source of the corpse.On the surface, this is the end, and there are no other entrances or exits.

After a brief discussion, everyone decided to open the doors of those houses from left to right to check in, and there might be entrances to other places.

Everyone kept a vigilant state of "something suddenly popping out" and opened the door one by one. After opening the seven rooms, they found that it was just a warehouse for collecting books. There were many bamboo slips and books piled up in it.

The bamboo slips in the first room on the left record a lot of achievements about Qin Shihuang, and the content on each bamboo slip is repeated. It seems to be a mass-produced book, probably made by Qin Shihuang to praise his merits.

Lin Ruofan judged from the content on the bamboo slips that the era should be a few years after Qin Shihuang unified writing, currency, and weights and measures. This is more like a teaching book for the army.

The bamboo slips in the second house introduced the Southern Army Corps of the Qin Dynasty at that time, that is, the one stationed at the southern border.The third and fourth houses record some signs of the activities of the Southern Army, with very little content, and there are particularly many vacancies in the front and rear.

In the fifth room, Mengyao picked up the bamboo slips and looked at them for a few times before angrily throwing them to the ground, breaking the bamboo slips into pieces.

Ma Lan said in surprise, "Wow! This is an antique after all!"

Lin Ruofan bent down to pick up the book that Mengyao had just thrown apart, and after a few glances, he understood that this was a record related to the Wu Clan.

Including this house and the next two, the records are all about the disputes with the Wu clan back then.

The above roughly means that the place where the Wu people lived at that time was not strictly speaking the territory of the Great Qin Dynasty, but to the people of the Qin Dynasty they belonged to foreign barbarians.

Back then, the Southern Legion was to maintain Qin Shihuang’s rule over the southern region and stationed in the frontiers for defense. But at that time there was also a very special detachment consisting of 8000 practitioners, which was specifically to deal with the Wu tribe. It was called Guanliang. detachment.

People of the Wu clan made good use of Gu insects, which was regarded as witchcraft in the eyes of people at the time. Naturally, there must be an orthodox team of "special people" responsible for eliminating those "evil ways", that is, the closed beam team.

The reason why Mengyao was angry was also because of this unrecorded history.The Southern Legion fought for years to expand the territory of Qin Shihuang, and the most fierce battle was the war with the Wu people.

For the Wu people, the army attacked without warning, without any excuses or reasons. If the only reason is to completely eradicate the Wu people, it's as simple as that.

These few houses recorded more detailed marching conditions of the closed-beam unit. After Lin Ruofan's conversion, it is estimated that the group of practitioners are basically between the seventh and ninth ranks of the heavenly ranks, and some of the more powerful small leaders are some of the third ranks of the earth ranks. about.

However, the supreme commander, General Guan Liang, is more stubborn, probably around the third rank of Xuan rank.

Ma Lan said suspiciously, "The coffin outside is not the general closed beam, is it?" Lin Ruofan gave Ma Lan a wink, signaling her to stop talking, because Mengyao's face was very ugly right now.

However, Mengyao then began to introduce the history of thousands of years ago, and when she spoke, the other villagers also showed sad expressions.

War is very ruthless. As we all know, the army of the Qin Dynasty at that time was mainly based on the military merit system, and soldiers of the Qin Army could take the heads of enemy soldiers back to receive rewards.

So at that time, many Qin army teams went astray, including this closed beam team.

Once, the army of the Wu tribe ambushed the army of Guanliang, causing them heavy losses.In order to avoid the Qin army's retaliation, the Wu tribe moved many tribes back a considerable distance.

At that time, the Witch King believed that the Qin army suffered heavy losses and was unable to attack in a short period of time, so he relaxed his vigilance.Unexpectedly, Guan Liang personally led a powerful team to kill them, defeating the Wu Clan's outpost army in one fell swoop.

After being attacked, the Wu army quickly retreated to avoid the Qin army, so the closed beam still failed to meet the target set by the senior generals of the Qin army, that is, the number of heads was not enough.

So Guan Liang issued a utterly unconscionable order to let his soldiers kill the common people of the Wu tribe crazily along the way, and then put on the helmets of the Wu tribe army. In this way, the set target number was completed, and there was no further pursuit. up.

That is, during the war at that time, the Wu tribe lost the Dragon Snake Stone. The Wu tribe always believed that the Dragon Snake Stone was in the hands of Guan Liang, but unfortunately they never had a chance to prove it and take it back.

Lin Ruofan said "ah", and asked Mengyao curiously, "Dragon Snake Stone has been lost for so long?"

Later, because of the outbreak of the peasant uprising at the end of Qin Dynasty, the Qin Dynasty quickly disintegrated.It became a mystery why the Southern Legion stayed put and did not go north for support, and the army in the closed beam also disappeared.

After listening to this narration, everyone's faces felt numb. It seems that there is no need to pursue the dusty history now, but everyone is still very angry because of Guan Liang's insane order.

Lin Ruofan and the others immediately went to the central sarcophagus to check, to see if they could find any other clues.

Judging from the location of the Southern Army at that time, no matter what, it would be impossible to travel such a long distance to this small Linglong Village, right?
"Could it be that after the peasant uprising broke out, the closed beam sent a small group of people to escort the 'Dragon Snake Stone' away? After all, it's not that difficult for those practitioners to pass through the ordinary battlefield."

"Even so, why did they come to Linglong Village?"

Everyone was talking about it, but Wu Di gave a clear answer, "Because this place is a very rare place of geomantic omen, they should have discovered it a long time ago, and they were transferred to the south to develop this place. .”

Lin Ruofan recalled the records in the bamboo slips, and nodded in agreement, "I think it's possible. From the records, it can be seen that Guan Liang and most of his soldiers are from the north."

While everyone was studying, Mengyao suddenly took a few quick steps towards the sarcophagus, holding the Witch King's Staff tightly in her right hand with an extremely fierce expression on her face, "If you just open it, you'll know!"

"Stop!" Lin Ruofan and Wu Di shouted in unison, but it was already too late, Meng Yao's incantation had already been chanted.

A large black worm appeared from around the sarcophagus out of nowhere, rushed towards the sarcophagus densely, and swallowed the sarcophagus in almost two seconds, revealing a relatively well-preserved corpse inside.

Ma Lan closed her eyes helplessly, and said in a low voice, "I think the little girl Mengyao is even more weird." As she said that, Ma Lan's jaw shook violently. Ordinary girls are afraid of bugs, but Ma Lan It was no exception, and it turned out that Mengyao was still the best at playing with bugs.

When the sarcophagus disappeared, a puff of black smoke spread around, and then disappeared.Lin Ruofan and the others observed the corpse vigilantly, there was nothing unusual about it, and the black smoke just now was not the corpse smell that the villagers were holding.

According to the description in the bamboo slips, the body of the closed beam is quite burly, while the corpse in the sarcophagus is relatively thin.

Everyone approached to check. The armor on the corpse was indeed the standard equipment of the Qin Dynasty army. After such a long time, it is still very well preserved. Lin Ruofan has long wanted to make a set of Qin Dynasty equipment for research. Let's take a look at them What was the production process back then.

Wu Di lit a cigarette and took two puffs, then said to Lin Ruofan, "Chen Biao approached me once a while ago, saying that you wanted to get some armor and weapons from the Qin Dynasty."

"I have this idea, but forget it this time, and talk about it later."

After finishing speaking, Lin Ruofan also lit a cigarette and started smoking.

As soon as the cigarette was lit, Mengyao heard a surprised "ah" from her mouth, and quickly took two steps back.

Everyone was surprised!The corpse's eyes opened!And swish all of a sudden bounce in place!
Ma Lan shouted in surprise, "Damn it! This shit is a fake corpse!"

Lin Ruofan immediately turned on the perspective to check. Except for a small green ball remaining in his body, there were no traces of living things in other places.

That is to say, someone put the small green ball into the body of the corpse back then, relying on this small green ball can "resurrect" and move freely. Right now, the corpse looks like it just woke up, turning its head from side to side to look at it. After a while, he finally locked his eyes on everyone.

I don't know what activated the little ball. Could it be that he and Wu Di just lit cigarettes?
"Who is here!?" The corpse asked.

This feeling is very strange, it is obviously a corpse, except for the pale face, it is almost the same as a living person, it is even breathing, and the body rises and falls slightly.
