Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Chapter 821 Ancient Zhao Wen (4000)

The image left in the pupil of the eyeball should obviously belong to the victim.

Then this eyeball should belong to the "murderer", and judging from the extreme fear of the victim in the video, the appearance of the "murderer" may be very terrifying and vicious...

Wu Liang couldn't help thinking of a crime-solving method that often appears in novels and film and television works of later generations-retinal crime-solving technique.

It is said that after a person dies, the retina in the eyes of the deceased can record the last image seen, and by extracting the image through some special means, the identity of the murderer can be quickly identified, thereby greatly improving the detection rate of homicides.

With the spread of this theory, some murderers deliberately gouged out the eyes of the deceased after killing, so as to avoid revealing their identities.

But is this so-called "retinal crime detection technique" really feasible?

If it is feasible, why is it not widely used by the police in various criminal investigation cases?

In order to solve these doubts, Wu Liang really went to check some information, and finally he came to the conclusion that the "retinal crime detection technique" does exist, and it is also regarded as a topic by many physiologists and forensic scientists. After a series of practical research, I even came up with a scientific research project called "optography".

Unfortunately, the results of years of research have been disappointing.

Since the retina does not have any capacity to store images, it is impossible to record any images at all.

At most, one of the substances called "rhodopsin" will react to light, from which the light and dark contours of the environment at that time can be judged, which is not very helpful to solve the case.

Besides.

The light perception change of "rhodopsin" is also extremely short-lived. Unless the police can instantly move to the crime scene every time a homicide occurs, even the light perception change of "rhodopsin" cannot be captured, let alone Use this technique to solve cases.

For this reason, the "retinal crime detection technique" was gradually abandoned by physiologists and forensic scientists.

However, this seemingly mysterious method of solving crimes has been used in various suspense and detective novels and film and television works. In the process of continuous interpretation, it has been known by many people and believed to be true.

And the eyeball in front of her...

Wu Liang continued to ponder. This eyeball is obviously not the same thing as the eyeballs of humans or animals. Its texture and appearance look very similar to Yuhua Stone, which is actually a complex mineral crystal.

As far as Wu Liang knows, certain minerals can indeed record images and sounds under certain circumstances.

For example, ferroferric oxide, which can be used as a raw material for audio tapes and telecommunications equipment.

And the "Phantom of the Palace Lady" incident that appeared in the Imperial Palace in the 90s of later generations seems to be related to this:

It was in a thunderstorm, a bolt of lightning illuminated the palace wall. At this time, several women appeared under the red wall and green tiles, wearing Qing palace costumes, holding palace lanterns, walking from the vermilion palace wall in a hurry. Passing by, the laughter of the palace ladies and the sound of palace shoes colliding with the ground can be heard.

Although the tourists who saw this scene did not understand what happened, they quickly took out their cameras to record. Unfortunately, the voices and figures of the maids disappeared quietly after 5 seconds.

People can't help but think of all kinds of rumors about the imperial court that often appear.

Later, relevant experts analyzed the matter and believed that this strange phenomenon might be related to the lightning at that time and the ferric oxide contained in the palace wall of the imperial capital.

Then.

Could the image of the victim appearing in this eyeball also have something to do with it?

Wu Liang put this guess aside for the time being, and continued to carefully observe the images presented in the eyeballs. In this way, he soon discovered another fuzzy detail.

The victim's facial image has occupied more than 80% of the entire screen, but in the screen outside the face, you can still see a small piece of image that is very blurred due to the focal length. If this small piece of image can be decrypted Come out, you can judge the environment in which the victim was originally located.

Surprisingly so.

Wu Liang saw a familiar silhouette in this image, that Luo Kuo was in the shape of the word "gate". From the color and shape, it looked like one of the three gate towers in front of the fairy mountain that he had seen under the old mulberry tree before. .

Could this eyeball come from that "fairy mountain"? !

Realizing this problem, Wu Liang's curiosity about that "fairy mountain" immediately increased a lot.

If this is the case, then the face in the image is most likely a villager of Sanmen Village. As for whether it is a villager who will stay in that "fairy mountain" forever, or one of the surviving villagers, it is still hard to say.

And the owner of this eyeball should be something that will be left forever by the villagers of Sanmen Village...

Wu Liang really had no way to imagine that thing as a human being or some kind of beast, because the eyeballs could never be the eyes of some kind of organic living thing, so he could only put a big question mark on that thing.

Besides.

Wu Liang still had another doubt in his mind: How did this eyeball fall into the hands of the village head of Sanmen Village?

Could it be that the people in Sanmen Village or their ancestors finally defeated the horrors in Xianshan, or captured, killed or wounded one of them, so they got such an eyeball?

"Chamu, there is an image left in the pupil of this eyeball. You have seen that 'fairy mountain' under that old mulberry tree before, help me see if the blurry outline behind this image is in front of the 'fairy mountain' one of the gatehouses."

Wu Liang did not blindly make judgments, and handed the eyeball to Prince Chamu again.

Prince Chamu also followed Wu Liang's example and held the eyeball in front of his eyes, closed the other eye and looked into the pupil.

Even with Wu Liang's explanation in advance, after seeing the extremely frightened face in the image, Prince Chamu's body still trembled unconsciously, and subconsciously moved the eyeball a little further away.

After calming down for a moment, he checked again.

"Young master, I think it should be one of the three gate towers. Although only one outline can be seen, it can still be seen that the two are very similar."

Prince Chamu quickly nodded and said.

"Um……"

Wu Liang nodded slightly.

Victims of extreme fear, the fairy mountain and the gatehouse, the villagers who stay forever in the fairy mountain, the breath that will run away as soon as someone looks into their pupils...

Obviously, there is no way to fully explain these things with the later science that Wu Liang knows.

……

Four hours later.

Finally, after resting, the Huan army opened a small road from the valley full of thorns and weeds, and saw the tomb of Bian Que, which was mentioned by villagers and Qiu Lian many times.

This Clothes Tomb is not big, just a grave bag with a radius of about four meters and a small stele about one meter high and half a meter wide.

From the situation at the scene, it can be seen that there should be a layer of stone bricks on the outside of the tomb for protection, but now most of the stone bricks on the tomb are scattered around the tomb, and more than half of the stone bricks remain They all cracked and became what later generations often call "half-headed bricks".

And the small stele in front of the grave was not alone.

The small stele is already a little skewed at this moment, and several corners have been damaged to varying degrees, and these damaged places have been seen for a long time, and it is absolutely impossible to cause it in recent years.

Obviously.

This Bian Que Clothes Tomb has been visited many times, and [-]% of it should be done by nearby villagers.

Because this place is too remote, after seeing it, Yu Ji is sure that it is not a treasured place of geomantic omen, so it is difficult to attract the attention of outsiders, even if there are occasional tomb robbers passing by, ordinary thieves may still move their minds a little. Larger tomb robbers would never pay attention to such a small tomb, even if it was called Wu Liang, if someone hadn't told him that it was a genuine Bian Que tomb, he and the Tuan army would have come from this tomb If you pass by, [-]% will not take a second look.

"Old man, come and see what era the text on it belongs to."

Wu Liang squatted in front of the tombstone and looked at it for a while, then called Yu Ji over.

The area around Bohai County belonged to the State of Yan in the Spring and Autumn Period, and became the territory of the State of Qi in the Warring States Period.

Although the Qinyue people did not have a clear date of birth and death, all his actions were in the Warring States period, at least it can be determined that he must be from the Warring States period.

But the text on the tombstone doesn't look like ancient Qi script.

It is impossible to make an accurate judgment whether it belongs to the ancient Yanwen Wu Liang.

"My lord, if the old man is not mistaken, this is also the text of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, but it should be the ancient Zhao Wen. The ancient Zhao Wen is very similar to the ancient Han Wen and the ancient Chu Wen, but the details of the writing are more rough, my son. Please look here!"

While talking, Yu Ji pointed to one of the characters and said to Wu Liang in detail, "This is a character 'Bian'. If it is placed in ancient Korean and ancient Chu characters, the character '口' above it must be completely closed. Yes, but the ancient Zhao Wen usually deliberately left a gap, which is the most prominent feature of the ancient Zhao Wen, and since this word is engraved on the stone tablet, it must not be a negligence in writing, so the old man thinks it must be Ancient Zhao Wen."

"The old man is really knowledgeable."

Even Wu Liang secretly raised his posture when he heard Yu Ji's words. He really didn't know anything about it before, and the research of later generations on the languages ​​of various countries in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods is actually very limited.

If it is the words of ancient Zhao Wen, it is completely reasonable, because the villagers of Sanmen Village said before that this Bian Que Clothes Tomb was built shortly after the death of the Qinyue people, and the builder was still a foreigner with unknown origin.

According to historical records, since the Qin and Yue people became famous, although he has traveled to many countries, there is only one real base, and that is Zhongqiu Pengque Mountain. Zhongqiu Pengque Mountain was the territory of Zhao State at that time. The descendants of the Yue people preaching and teaching and the Zhao people near Pengque Mountain also respected him a lot.

Therefore, it is reasonable for Zhao people to come to his hometown and build a tomb for him.

"Then what are the words on it?"

Wu Liang asked again.

"From top to bottom, Bian Queji is the home of the Yue people with the surname Qin, and the successor is Plover Jingli."

Yu Ji translated it word by word.

"Plover (heng twice)?"

Wu Liang didn't quite understand the meaning of this word.

"As far as I know, plovers are small water birds that are more common near water."

Yu Ji patiently explained.

"I see……"

Wu Liang frowned again and fell into deep thought, but this time he told Yu Ji what he wanted in his heart, "The word Bian Que is located before the surname of the Qinyue people, which means that 'Bian Que' is important to him. It is indeed a more important title than the surname, but 'Bianque' is the name of a bird, and 'Plover' is also another name for a bird, and this 'Plover' is specially added with the prefix 'successor', What position did he inherit? Could it be the position of 'Bian Que'?"

"Using the Mohist School of the Spring and Autumn Period as a reference, the Mohist School is a school of thought. According to historical records, their leaders are called 'Juzi', and their successors are also called 'Juzi' after they become the leaders of the next level of Mohism. On the contrary, It is the original name that is gradually forgotten."

"What if the same is true for 'Bian Que'?"

"The members of this organization are all named after birds, and the leader is called "Bian Que". It's not that important anymore, and that's why later generations only know 'Bian Que', but they don't know the real name of the doctor?"

Listen to Wu Liang's speculation.

Yu Ji also pondered and nodded slightly: "I think the young master's analysis is not unreasonable. There is only one 'Juzi' and only one 'Bian Que' in the world. ’ But it can exist for hundreds of thousands of years.”

"I just don't know if there are any valuable things left in this tomb."

Wu Liang then said to himself.

He has already observed the soil on the tomb. The soil is mixed with streaky soil and some lime is mixed in it. It is not difficult to judge that the people who visited this tomb before just dug a small robbery hole. , but directly dug up the entire tomb, so that the coffin inside could see the light of day.

However, compared with those large tombs, this kind of small tomb can only be stolen in this way, and it is really not feasible to dig a robbery hole.

As for why it was buried and restored to its original state...

Based on Qiu Lian's previous description, Wu Liang felt that it was very likely that the gravedigger thought he was cursed by the owner of the tomb after being infected with a strange poison, so he had to come back and restore the original state in order to get forgiveness from the owner of the tomb.

If so, it is very likely that the things stolen from this tomb were returned.

With this in mind, Wu Liang turned his head and ordered to Yang Wanli: "Yang Wanli, take a few people to dig up this tomb, wear gas masks, stop as soon as you find the coffin below, and then order the soldiers to leave this place for twenty feet Besides, let’s do the next thing by ourselves.”

"promise."

Yang Wanli responded.

The backbone of the Dauren Army looked at each other tacitly. They knew better than anyone the reason why Wu Liang gave such an order. The Dauren Army officers and soldiers were not poisoned, so he didn't want to involve them.
