Wu Liang didn't know what these two beads were.

However, there were no other items nearby except these two beads, so Wu Liang could only associate the red light he just saw with them.

certainly.

Before figuring out the composition and function of these two beads, Wu Liang would definitely not touch them rashly. He would just use the engineering shovel in his hand to scoop them out of the worm slurry and examine them carefully.

These two strange beads are blood red all over.

Judging from the heavy weight, it should be solid. The material is not transparent, and the surface is not smooth, but has a relatively flat frosted state. It is a bit like a naturally formed pebble bead, but it is a very standard and upright round sphere.

"Xiandi (young master), what is this?"

Everyone was quickly attracted by the two beads that Wu Liang found, and looked over with curiosity.

"I don't know either."

Wu Liang shook his head and patiently said to everyone, "But these two beads fell from the Giant Insect. I saw two clusters of red light on the Giant Insect before, so I doubt that the two clusters of red light are related to these two beads."

It’s about beads.”

"Dear brother, are you talking about the evil thing's eyes?"

Cao Ang immediately took over the words, frowned slightly and said, "When this evil thing rushed into the tomb passage, it turned into a giant face. At that time, its eyes were two groups of red light, which looked very frightening."

"Exactly."

Wu Liang turned around and asked, "Brother Zixiu, does he know what this is?"

"Hahaha, I don't know."

Cao Ang laughed dryly, shook his head and said.

"Although I don't know what this bead is, I have a guess in my mind."

Yu Ji took the initiative to say it at this time.

"Old sir, please speak."

Wu Liang looked at Yu Ji again.

"I heard that some things may give birth to monster beads if they live for thousands of years. Dragon beads are in the jaws, dragon beads are in the skin, snake beads are in the mouth, fish beads are in the eyes, turtle beads are in the feet, and turtle beads are in the armor... The monster beads are the wisdom of these things.

The essence condensed with life is the fruit of their cultivation accumulated over time."

Yu Ji said seriously, "This mausoleum has been preserved for nearly a thousand years. These beasts may have a longer life span than this mausoleum. If the rumors I heard are true, they may also give birth to demon beads. It's just that what will happen to the demon beads?"

I don’t know what it’s used for, or whether it’s a demon bead, I still need the young master to investigate clearly.”

It’s old fantasy.

From the very beginning, it is the setting of later fantasy novels.

Wu Liangliang thought to himself.

However, the theory of this demonic pearl does appear in some documents in the pre-Qin period.

As far as Wu Liang knows, many of the settings in later fantasy novels were actually adapted and created by the authors based on ancient documents. There are also some settings of cultivation realms, settings of heavenly materials and earthly treasures, and even

Similar descriptions of methods of cultivation and improvement can also be found in some ancient documents.

In the history of the Celestial Dynasty, the pursuit of immortality and attainment of immortality has been an eternal topic.

Leaving aside the common people, there are countless emperors who were addicted to this way and finally succeeded in committing suicide. However, this trend has never ceased, and even in later generations, there are still lawless people who use this topic to do business.

It's a lie, and some people still believe it...

Therefore, there are countless folk rumors related to this Tao, and various versions emerge one after another.

Taking history as a guide, Wu Liang originally did not believe the rumors in this regard.

After all, archeology is actually a scientific research work in later generations. Archaeologists are very rigorous scientific workers, not metaphysical workers.

However, after experiencing so many things, especially after meeting the giant insect who seemed to have a certain IQ and self-awareness just now, Wu Liang could only have reservations about Ji's statement.

The most important thing is that it was probably these two beads that emitted the red light just now.

Based on this alone, Wu Liang felt that it was necessary to conduct more in-depth research and experiments on it.

"What the old gentleman said is actually a direction worth considering."

Wu Liang nodded noncommittally, and then did not rush to touch the two beads directly. Instead, he took out a cloth bag, wrapped it layer by layer, and temporarily placed it in a bronze coffin not far away, preparing to take it out and study it slowly.

.

By now.

The excavation work of Qi'ai Cemetery has come to an end. Even if there are other pests in the tomb, Wu Liang already has a way to deal with them, so there is nothing to be afraid of.

However, there is still much follow-up work.

For example, the "Tai Gong Seal", the "Wooden Armored Man", and the two beads just discovered.

There are still many doubts about these things that have not been solved, and it is still unknown whether they can be solved. This is all follow-up work that needs to be completed urgently.

It's a pity.

Wu Liang did not find the same "epitaph" as the tomb of Haihunhou in the Qi'ai Cemetery, nor did he find other documents that recorded these burial objects in detail, so the subsequent research work was a process from 0 to 1, with difficulty

One can imagine.

Maybe just immersing yourself in research is not enough.

Among the archaeological methods Wu Liang had learned before, he mentioned another way to solve archaeological puzzles: continue to excavate more ancient tombs from the same period or that are related to the tomb owner.

Ancient tombs from the same period have the same cultural background, so these ancient tombs can be connected in series for parallel research.

It is very likely that the cultural relics found in one ancient tomb can be found in another ancient tomb from the same period, so as to obtain the answer.

The same goes for related ancient tombs.

It is also very likely that the burial objects in Qi'ai Cemetery can be found in the ancient tombs of his ancestors, descendants, or even friends...

so.

Research on "History of Qi" will continue.

at the same time.

Wu Liang also planned to list the important historical figures before and after the same period from the history he knew, and then review the archaeological excavation cases studied or understood by later generations, and find the Spring and Autumn tombs that can clearly identify the specific locations for priority excavation.

It is also possible to find relevant documentation.

"Let's not talk about these two beads, what should we do next?"

Seeing that Wu Liang seemed to have finished his work, Cao Ang quickly asked again.

The only reason is that the worm slurry is so disgusting and tastes extremely off-putting. Not only Cao Ang, but everyone also doesn't want to stay in this place for a moment.

"Have you guys calmed down enough? If so, we'll be ready to leave the tomb."

Wu Liang smiled.

"It's getting better, it's getting better."

Everyone nodded.

"In that case, let's go."

Wu Liang finally gave the order.

So Wu Liang, Dian Wei, Cao Ang, and the bodyguards once again lifted the bronze coffin. Bai Jingjing and Yu Ji opened the way, and the group dragged their tired bodies towards the outside of the tomb...

…

When the group of people came out of the tomb, the sun had already reached the foot of the mountain, and a bright fire cloud appeared on the horizon.

In fact, not much time has passed from the time I went here to enter the tomb after lunch to the time I came out now, but everyone felt like they were in another world.

Especially for a novice like Cao Ang, he feels indescribable vicissitudes and fatigue.

As for the other guard who was "embraced" by the giant worm, when everyone saw him again on the way back, he had completely turned into a paradise for worms.

Those worms were burrowing in and out of his body without restraint. The blood and water mixed with the minced meat were slowly flowing out of his seven orifices as the worms surged... Look.

It can be seen that although he was not sealed like the corpse in Sunzi's grave, these worms still planned to eat him into an empty shell and then use it as a breeding ground for breeding eggs. This seemed to be the instinct of these worms.

Cao Ang did not hesitate, and after saluting, he poured the kerosene used to make torches on the body of the bodyguard and burned it completely.

After that, the joy of the rest of the life in everyone's heart became less and they all fell into silence.

As for the backfilling work of Qi'ai Cemetery.

Wu Liang's plan was to fill up and hide the entire secret passage under the ancient city ruins. Cao Ang immediately took over the task and quickly arranged for his direct troops to go and handle it secretly.

This saved Wu Liang and the Hu army some strength.

Wu Liang naturally had no objections.

…

The next day.

Wu Liang slept until noon before waking up.
To be continued...
