"Miss Bai, I'm afraid I misunderstood. I just wanted to pay my respects to the tomb owner's remains out of courtesy. I'm already here, and I even accepted the tomb owner's gift. I have to say hello, otherwise it would be rude."

Wu Liang said with a smile.

"Can opening someone's coffin have anything to do with etiquette? It's so shameless for you to say this. Bah!"

Bai Jingjing immediately opened her almond-shaped eyes and scolded.

"Be good, just take a look and make sure not to disturb the tomb owner's purity."

Wu Liang was not angry at all, he still said with a playful smile.

"Don't even think about it!"

Bai Jingjing straightened up her chest decisively, stood in front of the bronze coffin and glared at Wu Liang, as if "if the coffin is open, I will die".

What else are these young couple doing?

Cao Zhen and others looked on in confusion, because they didn't understand Bai Jingjing's identity, and they always felt like they had eaten dog food.

"Stop talking nonsense, it's not up to you!"

Wu Liang's face turned cold and he yanked the rope in his hand.

"ah……"

Bai Jingjing was arguing with him with her chest raised, so naturally she lost some guard. When she let out a scream, she was pulled out of the way and involuntarily ran into Wu Liang's arms.

"You! You despicable and dirty person!"

Bai Jingjing immediately blushed with embarrassment, squirmed away in a hurry, and cursed angrily, as if she wanted to eat him alive.

"You bumped into it yourself, what does it have to do with me?"

Wu Liang chuckled, grabbed the hemp rope around Bai Jingjing's neck, and looked back at Cao Zhen and others who were watching the show with envious expressions on their faces, "Brother Anmin, why did you watch the show? I ordered someone to do it."

Open the coffin?"

"Oh... come on, come on! Let's drive together!"

Only then did Cao Zhen come to his senses and quickly called the other people to walk towards the bronze coffin.

There was no need to open the coffin at the tomb of King Xiao of Liang last time, and Chen Jinshui, who finally entered the main tomb chamber, is now looking after Wu Liang’s house. It can be said that this is the first time for everyone at the scene to do such a thing. Naturally, everyone needs to

Going together can make you brave.

Seeing this, Bai Jingjing couldn't care less about her shyness just now, and immediately struggled and shouted to everyone:

"Aren't you afraid of retribution for doing such a thing?"

"I told you to stop!"

"stop it!"

"..."

But no matter how Bai Jingjing shouted, Cao Zhen and others ignored it and just used their swords and engineer shovels to cut off the leather strips tied to the bronze coffin.

Yes, this bronze coffin was not sealed with nails.

Instead, an older method of sealing the coffin was used, using special leather strips to tie the coffin and the coffin lid together, three horizontally and two vertically, with long vertical boards and short horizontal boards. This is where the idiom "three long and two short" comes from.

.

This method of sealing coffins has a long history and is still used by people in later generations.

As far as Wu Liang knows, there is a folk saying that this way of sealing the coffin is like a nail locking the soul, which is similar to a magic spell and will prevent the tomb owner from being reincarnated.

After a while, amid Bai Jingjing's increasingly faint screams, all five strips of leather were cut off.

Cao Zhen and others looked back at Wu Liang, asking for his opinion.

"open it!"

Wu Liang nodded.

The three soldiers immediately inserted the engineering shovel into the gap between the coffin lid and the coffin, then pushed hard together, and then backed away together.

Just heard a loud "bang" sound.

The heavy bronze coffin lid fell to the ground, stirring up dust on the floors of countless palace rooms.

After the dust dispersed a little, Wu Liang also took out the copper dagger from his waist, walked to the bronze coffin more cautiously, and looked inside from behind.

After looking at it, I discovered that the so-called "Immortal King of Guangchuan" actually only has a "coffin" and no "coffin".

The so-called "coffin" is actually two things.

The "coffin" is the coffin that holds the body of the tomb owner, and the "coffin" is the protective coat outside the coffin. The two together form the "coffin".

When Wu Liang saw that the bronze pavilion was not small in size, he naturally thought that it was also a "coffin" with two floors.

But the scene before him told him that things were not what he thought.

After opening only one level, he already saw the lying body of the tomb owner.

Different from the wives and servants outside, the corpse of the tomb owner was actually a "tanned corpse" that was purple-black and even a little shiny!

The so-called "tanning corpse" focuses on the word "tanning".

The production method is somewhat similar to the process of tanning leather. The corpse is soaked in a special acidic substance. If soaked for a long time, the corpse will begin to leather. After the leather is completed, it is taken out and air-dried. The body will be as shiny as leather.

And the "tanned corpse" that is not easily eroded by moisture is made.

However, this kind of corpse can only be preserved for a relatively long time and cannot exist permanently.

Therefore, the "tanned corpses" discovered by later archaeological circles are very rare. The earliest one was only a male "tanned corpse" found in a Yuan Dynasty tomb where a husband and wife were buried together.

"Is this the body of Wang Liuqu of Guangchuan?"

Wu Liang took out a piece of multi-layered linen that had been prepared in advance and covered his face to resist the pungent sour smell. He went to the end of the bronze hall and carefully took out a jade seal placed on the right side of the corpse's head.

Turning over the jade seal, six small characters in seal script appeared before our eyes - "Prince Liu Quxi of Guangchuan".

This time it should be correct.

Even in later archeology, the seal in the coffin is an important basis for determining the identity of the tomb owner. As long as the seal is found, the identity can basically be determined.

Only in ancient tombs where jade seals cannot be found, inferences can be made based on some remaining literature and materials in the tombs.

so……

The tanned corpse in front of me is Liu Qu?

Wu Liang couldn't help but feel a little sad.

Psychologically, he still refused to believe that this was true. King Liu Qu of Guangchuan, who had stolen countless treasures in history, was secretly buried after his death. He even arranged for tombkeepers to guard the tomb. As a result, there was only this little array in the tomb.

?

Is there any yellow intestine question?

There is no golden jade garment!

There are no rare treasures!

Even the coffin has a coffin but no coffin!

How could Wu Liang be so willing? He subconsciously looked back at Bai Jingjing.

At this time, the coffin was opened, and Bai Jingjing stopped shouting as if she had accepted her fate, but when she saw him, she immediately raised her beautiful eyes and scolded: "Shameless man, now the coffin has been opened, and the owner of the tomb has also met.

What else do you want?"

It was also this scolding that made Wu Liang suddenly have an idea and suddenly remembered a detail recorded in "Miscellaneous Notes of Xijing"!

"Xijing Miscellaneous Notes" mentions that Liu Qu, the king of Guangchuan, once injured his left foot because he stole the Luan Shu Tomb, and said that his "feet were swollen, painful, and sore, and he will die." This means that Liu Qu's left foot should be dead.

There are wounds left.
