Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Chapter 848 Dead Dragon (4000)

Here, Wu Liang finally saw the pile of tattered pottery that Hua Tuo was talking about.

Most of these pottery have become broken pieces of pottery. In fact, the best-preserved pottery has only half of the bottom left. At this moment, it looks like a broken pottery bowl.

These things are of no value to ordinary people, but to Wu Liang, they can still find out some information related to this holy mountain of doctors.

Asking everyone to stand aside, Wu Liang lowered his body and carefully cleaned up the broken pottery.

"..."

Hua Tuo looked at it inexplicably, but seeing that Wu Liang was very serious, he didn't dare to disturb him easily.

However, everyone in the Huanren Army has long been accustomed to this. After all, every time he enters an ancient tomb or ruins, Wu Liang's focus is completely different from that of ordinary tomb robbers. He can always find some others from among those inconspicuous things Information that cannot be seen.

really.

After about a quarter of an hour, Wu Liang actually split the broken pottery fragments into three piles, and found some unusual traces from the bottom of these broken pottery fragments.

"This pile is all black pottery with sand, this pile is all gray pottery with sand, and the smallest pile is clay red pottery..."

Although Wu Liang didn't try to teach the people in the Tuan army to master these archaeological knowledge, whenever he found something, he would explain it patiently. This is a habit he developed when he was working as a tour guide in later generations.

Of course, doing so is also to attract jade.

After all, there are a few people in the Huan army who have insights that he doesn't have, such as Yu Ji and Zhen Mi, who sometimes can always give some unique insights after listening to Wu Liang's analysis.

"There are also decorative patterns on these pottery shards, this one is concave-convex string pattern, this one is Jomon pattern, and this relatively rare leaf vein pattern..."

Wu Liang spoke to himself, and gave his final judgment, "Whether it is the craftsmanship and materials used for these pottery, or the decorative patterns on them, it can all prove that this holy mountain is from the ancient times. However, whether it is related to the Yellow Emperor is debatable, because most of these crafts originated from the tribe of Emperor Yan, and it is also the tribe of Emperor Yan who used the most extensively."

"Isn't Emperor Yan the leader of the Shennong clan? And as far as I know, the tribe led by Emperor Yan has the surname Jiang. It is said that although Taigong Jiang has the surname Jiang, he is actually a descendant of the tribe with the surname Jiang."

Zhuge Liang immediately took over the conversation and said, "Brother Youcai, do you think there might be some kind of connection between the two? After all, judging from the situation just now, it seems that the strange insect in the medicine man's body has something in common with the gnat. place?"

"This is indeed a direction of exploration."

Wu Liang pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly.

If this holy mountain was built by Emperor Yan, then it has an inseparable relationship with Shennong.

According to legend, the reason why Emperor Yan is called "Emperor Yan" is because he was the first leader with the Jiang surname to master and use fire in the Celestial Dynasty.

In addition, Emperor Yan may also be the initiator of Chinese medicine. He tasted the taste of hundreds of herbs and the joys and sorrows of water springs. At most, he identified [-] kinds of poisonous weeds in one day, and according to the characteristics of various plants, he was the first to try to use herbs to treat diseases.

So to speak.

Even Bian Que, a famous doctor in the Huangdi period, most likely had to learn from Yandi, who had tasted all kinds of herbs, so that he could stand on Shennong's shoulders and become a famous doctor, using herbs and Shennong's experience to heal diseases and save people.

It can only be said that about the original Bian Que, there are too few records in the history books, and there is only such a name that cannot be found out.

even.

Is it possible that this so-called "Bian Que" originally belonged to Shennong's genius doctor or medical team.

It's just that the Yellow Emperor defeated Emperor Yan in the "Battle of Banquan" in the later period. Since then, Emperor Yan has formed an alliance, and the two tribes have merged into the Huaxia tribe. "Bian Que", in the name of the Yellow Emperor, walked among various tribes to cure diseases and save lives.

But even so, each tribe will inevitably keep some of its own secrets.

For example, this holy mountain may be the secret of the Shennong clan, and also the secret of the Jiang surname.

As for the strange insects and worms in Yaoren's body...

If Jiang Ziya is indeed related to the Jiang surnamed tribe led by Emperor Yan, then it is naturally possible to grasp the secret of the Jiang surname, so there is a possibility that the strange insect and the scorpion are of the same clan, or the strange worm is the ancestor of the scorpion.

"But gentleman, have you ever thought that Emperor Yan and the tribe he led were born in Jiangshui, so they got the surname Jiang, and Jiangshui is probably thousands of miles away from here, why did he travel thousands of miles here to set up Such a holy mountain?"

Zhen Mi raised her doubts at the right time.

This is indeed a problem.

Jiangshui is located in Baoji, Shaanxi in later generations. One is in the west and the other is in the east. The only connection between the two is probably the Yellow River that runs through the east and west. Even if a holy mountain is really to be established, this place is not the best choice.

"In addition, as far as I know, before the Battle of Chasing the Deer, the territory where this holy mountain is located should be in the hands of Chi You."

Zhen Mi went on to say, "So even if this holy mountain is related to Emperor Yan or the Shennong clan, it can only be established after the battle for the deer... But in this way, it will be possible for Emperor Yan to set up a holy mountain here. Maybe, because the battle between the Huangdi Yandi coalition forces and Chi You is not far away from here."

"Your analysis makes sense!"

Wu Liang nodded again and again.

This can be regarded as a preliminary delineation of the time period for the establishment of this holy mountain. There is a high probability that it should be after the battle for the deer, when the two departments of Yan and Huang took control of this area.

Before that, no matter the geography or the distance, there was basically no such possibility.

With these questions in mind, Wu Liang continued to investigate the situation at the bottom of the tiankeng.

In the process of cleaning and classifying these fragments of pottery just now, he found some unusual traces under these fragments of pottery, the most obvious of which were four very regular and identical circular pits.

These small circular pits are about ten centimeters in diameter, and they sink into the ground almost ten centimeters deep.

They are connected together to form an extremely regular rectangle. This rectangle is about two meters long and about 1.2 meters wide. At first glance, it looks like traces left by humans.

Wu Liang first took an engineering shovel and shoveled a hole nearby to investigate the soil quality at the bottom of the tiankeng.

It didn't take much effort to get the shovel down.

That is to say, the soil in this place is relatively soft, and the composition should be that kind of loess with a little more sand content... This is understandable. Although this place has only become the mouth of the Yellow River in recent years, the Yellow River often The embankment broke and diverted, and this place is located in the lower reaches of the Yellow River. Thousands of years before this, it may have been the mouth of the Yellow River or lived near the mouth.

As far as Wu Liang knows, the entire west coast of the Bohai Sea should basically have similar soil quality, which is caused by the sediment brought down by the Yellow River when it flows through the Loess Plateau.

Confirmed this matter.

Wu Liang then came to one of the small circular pits and used an engineering shovel to dig it open to check the situation.

After doing so, Wu Liang quickly came to a conclusion: "The soil in this small circular pit is no different from other places, but the middle part was compacted by heavy objects, so it sank and left Such traces."

"In addition, the depths of the four small circular pits are exactly the same, indicating that they were under the same pressure at the beginning, that is to say, the things pressing on them should be a whole."

"In addition, the small pits are connected to form a very regular rectangle. I have reason to judge that the shape of the above was once a square four-legged vessel, and such a huge four-legged vessel still has such weight. I am afraid that it can only be Tripod."

As far as Wu Liang knows, although the bronze ware was not popularized during the Yandi Shennong period, the large-scale vessel "ding" actually appeared, and a four-legged square tripod from this period was found in related archaeological sites in later generations, so Wu Liang's speculation is not easy to come by.

Moreover, Wu Liang did not believe that the tripod that was placed here was a bronze tripod, or it might be a stone tripod.

After all, if this holy mountain can set up the three gate towers at the entrance, it should be able to make such a big stone tripod.

"Speaking of the tripod, I think of the bronze tripod related to Bian Que that we have seen before."

Zhuge Liang deliberately ignored the "Qi Ai Cemetery" related to it, and continued, "But judging from the traces on the ground, the bronze tripod is still a little smaller, and it probably didn't come from here."

"The question is, if there was such a big tripod here, where is the tripod now?"

Yang Wanli frowned and asked.

"That's right, such a big cauldron must weigh several thousand catties at least, and here is another big pit that is difficult to walk through. It is simply too difficult to remove it."

Cao Ni also said in amazement.

What Cao Ni said is right. Even in the Eastern Han Dynasty today, to remove such a big tripod from the Tiankeng, and then move it to other places, most of them can only rely on manpower. This is indeed a big project, and at least hundreds of Man's big project.

And it is also impossible not to leave any traces.

However, Wu Liang looked around at the surrounding environment, and then raised his eyes to look at the sloping part of the tiankeng, but he didn't find any obvious traces. He always felt that things were not as simple as they thought.

"Let's discuss this matter."

Under such circumstances, Wu Liang had no choice but to temporarily shelve this issue.

"Ah."

Everyone in the Huan army nodded in response.

"..."

Only Hua Tuo didn't say a word since he went down to the Tiankeng. It's not that he didn't want to talk, but he couldn't get in the way at all, because none of the issues discussed by Wu Liang and others were in the field he was proficient in.

Even sometimes when he listened to Wu Liang and the others in the Tuan army, he felt like he was listening to a scripture from heaven, sometimes he understood and sometimes he didn't understand, that was a blur.

However, he became more and more convinced of Wu Liang's identity as Taishiling.

If it is not a person who specializes in the pursuit of historical truth, how can he know so many historical materials and related knowledge?
……

At this moment, the exploration of the tiankeng has temporarily come to an end.

Although Wu Liang and the others barely determined the time period for the establishment of this holy mountain, they also got more questions that need to be explored urgently.

It's a pity that there is still no progress in removing the strange poison.

After coming up from the tiankeng, Wu Liang took Hua Tuo to the top of the holy mountain to investigate non-stop.

Unlike the tiankeng, the top of the holy mountain is as bare as Hua Tuo said, it looks like Yu Jin's head with few hairs left, and it is even shiny.

Wu Liang also didn't see the slightest trace of artificial transformation on it, let alone stone basins and the like.

"Old man, since you help me observe the feng shui here."

Wu Liang looked around and found nothing, and said somewhat unwillingly, when he entered the tiankeng just now, because his legs and feet were not flexible, Yu Ji did not go down, but now he is climbing up the mountain and followed.

"My lord, the peaks and ridges here are blurred, and the hands and feet are unclear. The place that should be guarded by sand and stones has inexplicably formed a tiankeng. This pattern is like a fish out of water and a tree without roots. It's almost a dead end."

Yu Ji had obviously seen the situation here, and raised his hand to point out for Wu Liang, "If the old man is not mistaken, this should be an extremely rare pattern of dead dragons. It is difficult to form holes in this situation. It's not just as simple as cutting off children and grandchildren, I'm afraid it's hard to preserve even the surname."

"?!"

Can't keep your last name?

Everyone was shocked when they heard the words.

This consequence is undoubtedly a hundred times more serious than that of the Yi Jiu Clan. After all, the Nine Clans only endanger the blood relatives of the family, and the surnames involve a wider range. Just imagine the Jiang surnamed tribe led by Emperor Yan. Half of the descendants of Yan and Huang, if the Jiang surname cannot be kept, it must be a disaster that affects at least tens of thousands of people.

this moment.

Wu Liang suddenly felt that the weapons of mass destruction of later generations would be weak in front of this "dead dragon". If what Yu Ji said was true and someone used this feng shui to harm others, it would be unimaginable...

However, such a death situation seems to be prohibited.

For example, the rolling landmines appearing in this place at any time, and it is located in such a small isolated world, it is destined to be a secret place that ordinary people cannot touch.

Besides.

This place has now become the estuary of the Yellow River. Judging by the situation, it will not be completely destroyed in a short time. This small world connected to the fairy mountain outside will definitely cease to exist.

This should also be a kind of prohibition, or a kind of providence.

at the same time.

This terrifying "dead dragon" pattern also made this holy mountain more mysterious and weird in the eyes of everyone, and they believed that there must be a big secret hidden in this place.

And just as everyone was shocked.

"Boom!"

Accompanied by a sudden loud noise, the mountain under everyone's feet suddenly shook violently for some reason, and some people couldn't maintain their bodies and fell to the ground immediately.

"How is this going?!"

Under such circumstances, it is inevitable that some people will panic.

Is it an earthquake?
Wu Liang didn't know what happened, so he hurriedly shouted, "We are standing on the top of the mountain right now, so we don't have to worry about rocks falling from the collapse of the mountain. This mountain is not steep, so it shouldn't collapse easily. Walk around in a panic, first firmly grasp the people around you to stabilize your body, and make sure no one will fall down!"
