Chapter 141 The mysterious device in the main coffin (for the boss of [Forgotten Dead Ash](2/2)
Bai Jingjing gave him a slap in the face and said angrily.
"You do not understand."
Wu Liang smiled calmly and turned around to check on Yu Ji's condition.
This guy was rolling around all over the place just now. Although he was not attacked by these strange insects, his skin was inevitably scratched or pierced by some hard jointed limbs, and the wounds were in contact with the bodily fluids ejected from these strange insects.
Close contact.
Wu Liangzhen was worried that this guy would accidentally get infected or die from poisoning...
However, looking at how energetic Yu Ji is now, the problem of poisoning can be ruled out for the time being. The only thing to worry about is whether he will be infected in the future.
after all.
These strange bugs have stayed in tombs for hundreds of years. If they are really burial bugs, they are either corpses or corroded. It is hard to say what weird bacteria and viruses they carry.
And all he can do now is to look as carefully as possible to prevent any broken limbs from being left under his skin.
It was already more than ten minutes after Yu Ji's problem was solved in this way.
Wu Liang turned around and asked Bai Jingjing about the situation.
After learning that he had not heard any other abnormal noises for the time being, Wu Liang finally decided to go deeper.
"No, sir, you still want to come in now?"
Yu Ji naturally didn't want to enter, and wanted to come over to dissuade Wu Liang.
At this moment, this guy was covered in the body fluids of strange insects and exuded a disgusting stench. Naturally, Wu Liang would not embarrass Dian Wei, so he deliberately said: "If you are worried, old man, why not stay here?"
Wait, we will come out in a while and then take the old gentleman out."
In fact, Wu Liang would not let this guy act alone at all. If he walked around in the tomb and took things randomly, it would not be in Wu Liang's interests.
However, after this period of getting along, he has basically understood Yu Ji's character.
This super old boy has absolutely no guts to stay here alone.
absolute!
really.
"This...could it be that I am a timid person? I am just worried about your safety!"
Yu Ji hesitated for a moment, but saw that Wu Liang and others were already walking away, so he gritted his teeth and followed them quickly.
In this way, we probably walked less than a hundred meters in the tomb.
Wu Liang and others finally arrived at the end of the tomb passage.
In front of you is a large doorway and a small doorway. The main door is located on the east side and the small door is located on the west side.
According to the excavation results of the tomb of Marquis Haihun announced in the previous life, the gate on the east side should lead to the main coffin room, while the small door on the west side leads to the West Palace containing Confucius' portrait screen and gold.
Got here.
The peculiar fragrance in the air became stronger and stronger, even slightly pungent.
It seems that this trip may really solve the mystery of why the fragrance lingered for three years after the excavation of Haihunhou's tomb. I'm a little excited when I think about it.
There was a slight pause.
Wu Liang chose to go first to the west side of the tomb. This was a habit he had had since he was a child. When he had a choice, he always liked to save the delicious food for last.
…
In the tomb chamber on the west side.
"My mother-in-law..."
As soon as Yu Ji walked in, his eyes widened instantly, and his old face was filled with astonishment.
Even Dian Wei and Bai Jingjing changed their expressions slightly, looking around in disbelief at the furnishings in the tomb.
It’s so arrogant!
As Wu Liang expected, what was stored in this tomb was not the 115 kilograms of gold discovered later, but...
Wu Liang has no way to estimate it yet, because the gold here is not directly melted into gold bricks and piled up into a hill like in the tomb of King Liang Xiao.
Instead, it is classified according to the shape and size of gold like an exhibition hall, and arranged in different patterns like obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Big gold cakes, small gold cakes, big horseshoe gold, small horseshoe gold, big lin toe gold, small lin toe gold, and some square gold bricks, gold nuggets, gold plates...
Some of these gold pieces were also annotated with upper, middle and lower characters.
I don't know whether it is used to mark the count or has some other function.
After seeing the scale of these golds, Wu Liang knew that the total amount should not be less than the gold unearthed from the tomb of King Liang Xiao. This is what a tomb owner who once went to Beijing to be an emperor should look like.
As for the screen with portraits of Confucius...
Wu Liang took a closer look and found that this Confucius was much uglier than the one in later textbooks, but it was more in line with the records in "Zhuangzi" and "Historical Records": "He is quite tall, but his upper body is long and his lower body is short. He looks a bit uncoordinated.
He is slightly hunched, his ears are stuck to his head, the top of his head is still concave, but his forehead is more prominent..."
Some people in later generations saw this description and said that it was because Zhuangzi opposed Confucianism and Taoism and did not like Confucius, so he used this method to vilify Confucius.
But it is undeniable.
The "Historical Records" written in the Western Han Dynasty also described Confucius in this way.
Regardless of whether Sima Qian was influenced by "Zhuangzi", at least during the Western Han Dynasty.
That is to say, in the era when Haihun Hou Liu He lived, people still believed in the "Historical Records" compiled by the imperial historian Sima Qian, so I am afraid that this is the image of Confucius in people's eyes.
After walking around the tomb, I found that except for the gold and the portrait of Confucius, there was nothing else directly related to history.
So Wu Liang didn't stay any longer, turned around and walked out of the tomb and went straight to the main coffin room.
Yu Ji originally wanted to watch for a while, but was driven away by Dian Wei, so he had no choice but to follow.
As soon as he arrived at the door of the main coffin room, Wu Liang immediately concluded that this was definitely the place with the strongest aroma in the entire mausoleum.
Therefore, this should be the source of the strange smell.
Stepping into it with so much caution, Wu Liang was immediately attracted by a mysterious device that looked slightly complicated and located on the east side of the coffin.
