Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Chapter 766 Family Affairs (4000)

"..."

The witch stopped struggling, her eyes showed a complicated look, but she didn't answer Wu Liang's question, whether it was because Wu Liang knew the reason to ask, or because she didn't know how to explain it.

"Hehe, although I can't treat you with courtesy, I have never treated you badly."

Wu Liang chuckled and said, "But you have lied to me time and time again, and you dare to talk to me about the friendship of living and dying together, helping each other, I really dare not take it for you."

After Wu Liang finished speaking, he stopped talking nonsense with her, and immediately ordered to the Huan army: "Brothers, take out the guys who eat, dig up this area along this rhizome, and let us see what's going on underneath. There is something that made this Japanese envoy stay up most of the night, and he was willing to risk losing the trust of our country to come to dig in private."

"promise!"

The engineering shovel is both a tool and a weapon of the Huan army, so they are always carried with them. After hearing Wu Liang's order, everyone quickly started digging without looking for tools.

Wu Liangze took one last look at the witch, then turned around and sat down to rest beside the bonfire lit by the backbone of the Huan army.

He has already killed the witch.

And this is an extremely simple matter, it can be done with one knife, and there is no need to explain it to anyone.

The same is true when you return to Chenliu later. If you are in a good mood, you can tell Doctor Hou there that Dr. Qi Litong said, "Witch Hu suffered an accidental death during the operation", and then send him away. If you are in a bad mood, send Qi Litong to wait There is no problem in handling it together.

Emperor Xian would definitely not care about this matter, and Boss Cao would naturally not take it seriously. As for the country of Wa... Don't say they have no chance to know what happened to Qi Litong and Miko Hu, so what if they knew?
And the reason why the priestess Hu is still alive.

It's just that she wants to find out what she is hiding first, maybe she will need to explain some things she discovers later, so let's keep it for now.

In fact, this is Miko Hu's last chance.

Although Wu Liang is not a good man and a believer, he is not a bloodthirsty person who kills innocent people indiscriminately. If the witch can give Wu Liang a reasonable reason not to kill her, Wu Liang may still be released after a lot of blackmail. She gave up, but if she was still stubborn, it would be her own fault.

"..."

Looking at Wu Liang's back, the witch moved her lips as if she wanted to say something else, but in the end she didn't say anything, and stood there in a daze, lost in thought.

In fact, she did not deceive Wu Liang, but she did conceal some things.

And she knew very well in her heart that what she concealed would not have any impact on Wu Liang, the Huan army, or even the entire Celestial Dynasty. It was just her personal matter.

But if she wanted to explain to Wu Liang, she had to tell the truth about these private matters that she didn't want to mention.

So the witch lost her mind.

She didn't know that Wu Liang had already moved to kill because of this, but she only knew that after going through these things before, she had already regarded Wu Liang as a friend who had a life and death acquaintance, so she said "To live and die together, to live together Friendship of helping each other" and so on.

Although she is very clear that after this incident is over, she will return to the Wa country, and she may never have the chance to see this friend again in her life, but she still cherishes this rare friendship and friendship with her very much. Energy, this is related to her childhood as a witch, she was raised as a witch since she was a child, she is destined not to have the emotions and life that ordinary people can easily get.

It was precisely because of this that when she saw the indifference in Wu Liang's eyes, she felt inexplicably lost in her heart, as if she had lost something precious.

……

Many people are powerful.

After half an hour, a large piece of complete rhizome had appeared in front of Wu Liang.

Of course, this is not all rhizomes, there are more roots extending farther.

For a tree that has grown for a thousand years, the extent of its roots must have reached an exaggerated level. However, Wu Liang does not need to know where these roots have spread. What he is looking for is Qi Kang who is next to this thousand-year-old cypress tree. cemetery.

Before that, Wu Liang actually just wanted to take a look, and didn't report much hope.

But after being called out by the witch, Wu Liang immediately raised his heart, maybe there is really something valuable hidden in this place.

At the same time, Wu Liang also saw the small part of the trunk remaining above the rhizome.

The diameter of this tree trunk must be at least about 2 meters. Although it was buried by rocks and sand before, some scorched marks can still be seen on it.

It is not difficult to see that this thousand-year-old cypress tree should have encountered a fire before it became like this, and it is not known whether it was destroyed by man-made, or it was struck by lightning before and caught fire.

"With this tree trunk as the center, continue digging a few meters away."

After observing the situation at the scene, Wu Liang immediately gave an order, "However, you must be more careful when digging next. Don't use great force. Once you find bones or ancient objects, report to me immediately. Do you understand?"

"promise!"

The soldiers of the Tuan army did so immediately.

But this time, Wu Liang did not leave the scene again, and just stood by the side watching and waiting.

According to the records in Xu Fu's "Tong Yao of Yangshenzhi", the tomb of Qi Kanggong Ludai is just an ordinary small tomb, so it must not be buried too deep, and there may not even be a coffin, so every next shovel It is possible to dig out Lu Dai's bones and relics directly.

really.

Less than a quarter of an hour later, a soldier of the Huren Army shouted: "My lord, a bone has been dug up here, and it looks like it's probably a human bone!"

"Well done, give you a credit!"

Wu Liang encouraged him, and immediately jumped into the pit, stepped over some obstructive roots to the side of the soldier, and looked towards the place he was pointing at.

Dian Wei followed closely behind, and at the right time stretched out the torch to illuminate Wu Liang.

It was indeed a human bone.

Because what the soldier dug out was a missing human skull, but the facial skeleton was still relatively complete, and the eye sockets, nostrils, and incomplete teeth on the jawbone could still be seen.

"Yang Wanli, bring me three feet of linen."

Seeing this scene, Wu Liang immediately took out the gloves he was carrying with him and put them on, then he took an engineering shovel from the Huren Army soldier and shouted at Yang Wanli.

"promise."

Yang Wanli responded, and soon jumped into the pit and came to Wu Liang's side.

"Just lay it here."

Wu Liang pointed to a small flat place next to it, then squatted down and began to clean up most of the remains left in the soil.

Starting from the beginning, Wu Liang first used an engineering shovel to clean up the large chunks of soil near the remains, so that the remains gradually showed their shape, and then took out a small pocket shovel and a brush made of horsetail to clean them extremely carefully, even The small pieces of soil close to the remains should also be broken up very carefully to prevent some smaller relics from being mixed in.

In this process.

Wu Liang soon discovered a small piece of remnant hay woven fabric, which had been seriously decayed, like paper soaked in water, it would rot if touched lightly.

"This remains does not have a coffin, and this kind of thing was found in the soil near the remains. It seems that it should have been wrapped in straw mats and buried hastily."

Wu Liang has already entered a state of ecstasy, while doing these tasks, he still talks to himself from time to time.

The people in the Huanren Army surrounded him without disturbing him, but watched his every move silently. No one felt bored. On the contrary, every time they watched Wu Liang doing these tasks, they only felt that Wu Liang's every move They are all very elegant, full of indescribable sense of ceremony.

Moreover, they always believe that there should be corresponding explanations for every subtle action of Wu Liang. This must be the rule left by the ancestors. The understanding and consent of the tomb, rather than the curse and revenge of the tomb owner.

"..."

Seeing this scene, the witches not far away were also full of surprise in their eyes.

She had never experienced the scene of tomb robbery, and of course she was even more unlikely to have seen the scene of archaeology, so any move of Wu Liang made her feel unclear.

Soon she saw that Wu Liang carefully cleaned out the incomplete skull, and then carefully placed it on the sackcloth that Yang Wanli had asked to lay down in advance.

Not only that.

Wu Liang actually carefully collected the small bone fragments scattered around the skull, as well as the three teeth found near the skull, and placed them next to the skull after cleaning off the dirt on them.

In this era, almost all the cultural traditions of the Wa Kingdom came from the Celestial Dynasty.

Therefore, digging graves in Japan is also a sin of anger and hatred.

But the witch looked at everything in front of her, but felt that Wu Liang's every move was very elegant, and she couldn't see the slightest disrespect to the dead. On the contrary, it seemed that she was performing a ritual ceremony on the dead, another baptism of the soul of the dead. and sacrifice.

And under the crowd watching.

Wu Liang's cleaning work is still going on, from top to bottom, sternum, spine, hip bones, leg bones... Every step of Wu Liang is carried out in an orderly manner. Ryo cleaned up one by one, and then sorted and placed them on the linen beside him.

During this process, Wu Liang also cleared out three objects that did not belong to the category of bones.

One is a small arrow-shaped jade kui, engraved with a circle of cloud patterns as a decoration. This is a jade ritual vessel commonly used by emperors and princes during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Therefore, although it is quite a precious cultural relic, it cannot provide important information for Wu Liang.

The other one is a bronze beast statue, it is not big, it is about the same size as Wu Liang's fist, it looks like a bear lying on the ground, and it looks a bit like a dog. text information.

The last one is a copper mirror the size of a plate.

One side of the copper mirror is engraved with a large ancient Qi character, which looks like three trees or three umbrellas arranged together in the structure of the word "public". Wu Liang recognized this character, which is a "Qi" character.

Although this copper mirror did not clearly point out the identity of the owner of the tomb.

But combined with the records in "Yang Shen Zhi Tong Yao", Wu Liang can already confirm that the skeleton in front of him is Qi Kang Gong Lu Dai, and he found the right place.

But Wu Liang's work wasn't done yet.

He is still finishing the finishing work. While trying to gather up all of Lu Dai's remains, he hopes to find more ancient relics, and it is best to get another seal.

After all, Lu Dai had been the king of Qi for a period of time, and under normal circumstances, those who have been kings would have an exclusive seal to prove their identity or issue government orders.

But unfortunately.

After Wu Liang cleaned up all the tombs, he did not find any trace of the seal.

However, there is nothing to say about this. There are various possibilities in history: it is possible that the Tian family took away his seal after he was driven from the throne; Accidentally lost...

"It's finally done!"

Wu Liang straightened his waist and stretched out a big lazy waist. Some joints on his body made a "pop" sound, and then he lifted his feet to climb out of the grave.

"Son."

Dian Wei immediately stepped forward to support him, and with a light tug, Wu Liang was lifted out.

"My lord, what did you discover this time?"

Yu Ji immediately came up and asked.

"Don't be impatient, old man."

Wu Liang smiled, took off his gloves and pulled Prince Chamu over, pointing to the three pieces of clothing that were also placed on the linen cloth and asked, "Chamu, can you see if there is any smell on these things?"

"..."

Prince Chamu shook his head.

"Then what about me?"

Wu Liang pointed to his arms again, needless to say, Prince Chamu must have known that Wu Liang was referring to the "Taigong Seal".

"The breath is still turbulent and has not changed."

Prince Chamu replied truthfully.

"This is strange, does it have nothing to do with these..."

Wu Liang immediately frowned.

What he wants to find out most now is the reason for the abnormal aura of the "Taigong Seal", and he believes that this abnormal aura must be related to an important relic of Lu Qi's royal family, but now he has found all the remains and relics of Qi Kanggong Ludai out, but still nothing.

Looks like there must be something else on this island that he hasn't found yet...

Thinking of this, Wu Liang looked at Miko Hu who was watching him not far away, so he ordered someone to bring Miko Hu over, and generously displayed the remains and relics on the sackcloth, and asked: " Hu girl, these are all the objects I have found in this place so far, I don’t know what you came here to find, but it’s among them?”

"..."

Witch Hu just glanced casually and shook her head, then looked into Wu Liang's eyes and answered irrelevantly, "Wu Taishi, I admit that I have hidden something from you, but I hope you can trust me. There is no malice, but some things are my family affairs, and it is really inconvenient for outsiders to mention them."
