Chapter 606 Strange Wooden Staff (4000)(1/2)
The air condition in this stone room should not be a problem.
After all, the sealing is not very tight, and the outside air can circulate through the gaps, and Wu Liang has already seen the ever-burning lamp placed inside. The fact that the lamp is burning shows that the oxygen in the air is relatively sufficient, so before entering, there is no need to worry about it.
Don't need to worry too much about this aspect.
In addition, when he stood at the door, he didn't see any obvious smoke, nor did he smell any strange smell, so he just checked briefly, and Wu Liang took the lead in crossing the threshold and walking in.
Dian Wei, Zuo Ci and Zhang Liang followed closely behind.
It can be seen that Zuo Ci and Zhang Liang are still a little anxious, because they have been coveting the things in the stone chamber since early in the morning. Although they are suppressed by Wu Liang at this moment, it does not affect their interest.
After entering, everyone discovered that this stone room was much simpler than they imagined.
Except for a stone bed placed in the center of the stone room, which is not as finely crafted as it is now, only the stone wall to the north is left with about a dozen niches of various sizes.
There is something placed in each niche.
"!"
Zuo Ci and Zhang Liang immediately noticed the objects placed in the niches, and then their eyes lit up and they eagerly approached the wall.
"Dianwei!"
Wu Liang immediately shouted. Although he was calling Dian Wei, it also startled Zuo Ci and Zhang Liang. They trembled and stopped, looking at Wu Liang with some fear and doubt.
"promise!"
Dian Wei responded.
"Before I complete the investigation of this stone chamber, whoever dares to act rashly will lose his legs immediately without asking me for permission!"
Wu Liang glanced at Zuo Ci and Zhang Liang, and said in a cold voice.
"promise!"
Dian Wei responded, and his tiger eyes instantly locked onto Zuo Ci and Zhang Liang. Even the muscles in his body tensed up, as if he was ready to go berserk and hurt others at any time.
"..."
Zhang Liang shrank his neck, had no choice but to smile and retreated to the door, not daring to take a step forward easily.
There is a high probability that the things here have nothing to do with him, and compared to his life, these things are nothing more than external things, so he has to be relatively open-minded.
When Zuo Ci saw this, he moved his lips. He originally wanted to say something, but seeing that Wu Liang's face was colder than his voice at the moment, he finally followed Zhang Liang's steps and silently retreated in embarrassment.
Because he could completely see that Wu Liang had no intention of giving face to the "Brother Yuan Fang" he had just made friends with at this moment.
So he gave up the idea of getting closer and building friendship, and honestly followed Wu Liang's arrangements to avoid making himself uncomfortable...
"Brother Yuan Fang, please don't mind. This secret realm has been in existence for thousands of years. Once touched, many ancient monuments will cause irreparable damage. In this way, I may miss some very critical information, so I have to be careful."
Seeing Zuo Ci obeying obediently, Wu Liang showed a smile again and explained to him.
"My talented and wise brother is right, but my foolish brother didn't think enough about it and almost made a big mistake. How can I care about it?"
Zuo Ci also said with a smile and cupped his hands.
"Brother Yuan Fang is a person who understands the general situation. I am very grateful."
Wu Liang smiled and returned the gesture.
Then he did not take the lead to go to the wall to check, but carefully walked around the stone room, which was only about thirty meters square.
After walking around to the back of the stone bed, Wu Liang discovered that there was another corpse hidden on the ground behind the stone bed. However, from the angle of the door, this corpse was just blocked by the stone bed.
Strictly.
And the posture of this corpse is not correct.
Although he was not lying on the ground, he was leaning on the edge of the stone bed, with one arm still tied under his body, and the knee joint of one leg had very obvious signs of dislocation.
Let’s talk about the degree of decay.
This corpse was similar to the one that could be seen when opening the door. It was also to the point where it would fall apart and turn into powder if touched.
But the difference is.
Wu Liang had no way to judge whether the corpse was in this posture when it died, or whether it had been moved after death. The reason was the unreasonable knee joint dislocation of the leg, which made the posture of the corpse look like
Not very natural.
"Two corpses..."
When he saw the corpse, Wu Liang had already frowned.
Although Wu Liang did not regard this secret place as a mausoleum, according to the oracle bone documents discovered by Zhang Liang and Yan Lu, this secret place was also a royal capital hidden underground.
And if this secret place is a royal capital, then this stone room should be the royal palace of the royal capital.
There is no room for two tigers in one mountain.
Naturally, there should not be two corpses in a palace.
Unless...one male and one female.
It's a pity that the two corpses don't look very tall or big. In addition, the corpses have decayed to such an extent that it is difficult for Wu Liang's level to judge whether they are "one male and one female".
.
but.
Even if they are really "one male and one female", the posture of these two corpses is completely wrong.
Regardless of whether the two corpses had been moved after death, their postures looked too much like they had died violently, rather than dying or being buried here.
Except for these two corpses.
Wu Liang also found something "lying" upright on the stone bed.
That's a wooden staff.
This wooden stick is about one meter long. It seems to be naturally grown branches and root knots. There are no gorgeous decorations or embellishments on it. And after thousands of years, this wooden stick has not appeared dry or cracked.
There are traces of decay, and there are even obvious traces of patina on the middle and upper part of the hand that is often held.
"this……"
Looking at the upright wooden stick "lying", Wu Liang even wondered if someone had buried it on this stone bed as a "corpse".
However, this idea was slightly absurd. Wu Liang quickly put it out of his mind, and then moved closer to check the two corpses first, trying to find some clues from the corpses that could prove their identities.
Hard work pays off.
Under Wu Liang's careful investigation, he soon discovered a small object the size of a coin among the corpses hidden behind the stone bed.
This little thing was scattered among the decaying ashes. If Wu Liang hadn't been close enough, he would have easily missed it.
After patiently cleaning out the small piece of jade piece by piece, Wu Liang finally saw its entirety.
It was actually a small oval jade piece!
This small piece of jade is very rough, and it is definitely not a precious jade species. It cannot even meet the most basic transparency requirements of jade. It is definitely worthless to take it out now.
Wu Liang also saw a small round hole at one end of the small jade piece.
If your guess is correct, this small round hole should be polished to pass through a rope for easy carrying. In other words, this is most likely a "jade pendant" that has appeared in the ancient Tang Dynasty?
And in the middle of this small jade pendant.
Wu Liang also saw some strange scratches. When put together, these scratches looked like they formed a character that Wu Liang didn't recognize...
"Brother Yuan Fang, please come over and help me find out if there is exactly one word engraved on it?"
Wu Liang turned around and waved to Zuo Ci, gesturing for him to come forward and identify him.
"Coming!"
Seeing that Wu Liang had found something among the bones, Zuo Ci's curiosity had already been aroused, and when he heard Wu Liang's greeting, he hurriedly stepped forward.
Now he came to Wu Liang, holding the small jade piece and carefully identifying it, Zuo Ci raised his head and said to Wu Liang: "Young and talented brother, if I read it correctly, this should be the word 'Zhu', you
Look at whether this character looks like a tree with spreading branches. In the Tang and Yu Dynasties, the character "Zhu" was used to describe trees with red cores. Most of these trees were pines and cypresses. When "Zhu" was used to refer to large trees,
Red, it has been many years later..."
I just said this.
"Master Wu, can you also teach me to take a look?"
Zhang Liang also volunteered, "I have been studying the oracle bone documents in this secret realm for many years, and I can also make out some of the words in them... Mr. Wu, it's not Zhang who is so talkative. Although you have become brothers with Zuo Ci,
, but people's hearts are separated from each other in the belly. If only Zuo Ci recognizes these oracle bone documents, if he hides his selfish intentions, he can take the opportunity to fool you. And if Zhang is there to make a reference, this can be prevented from happening. Moreover, even if Zuo Ci
There is no selfish intention. Having one more person interpret it together can also minimize the possibility of misinterpretation, don’t you think?"
Isn’t this talkative and provocative?
Wu Liang immediately understood what Zhang Liang meant.
If he taught Zhang Liang to come over, it would naturally mean that he didn't trust Zuo Ci very much. There was no guarantee that Zuo Ci would not be dissatisfied and have other thoughts.
It seems that this guy is still obsessed with evil...
certainly.
To be continued...
