Even Dian Wei, who had been silent until now, had a strange look in his eyes, and then the strange look quickly turned into alertness.

Obviously, not many normal men can feel calm after seeing such a sexy scene.

But it also depends on the environment. In such an ancient tomb buried deep in the ground, such a scene may not only be stunning, but also unspeakably weird!

Because of this, Dian Wei has quietly moved in front of Wu Liang, assuming a posture of being ready to resist danger at any time.

At this time, Wu Liang said in a calm tone: "Don't worry, they are no longer alive, but corpses that have been specially treated."

"Corpse? How could the corpse be so alive?"

After hearing this, Bai Jingjing still hid behind Wu Liang with a surprised look on her face, and carefully poked her head out to take a look at the "young girls".

Wu Liangze did not answer immediately, but held the copper dagger in his hand, walked around Dian Wei and came to the nearest "young girl" who was standing, and looked at it carefully from top to bottom, front to back.

Upon closer inspection, new discoveries were made.

The whole body of this "young girl" is wrapped in a transparent film that is not known to be rosin or some other material, probably to lock in as much moisture as possible in the body?

In addition, there are round holes the size of copper coins on the top of her head, both wrists, navel, and both ankles.

The closer to these round holes, the stronger the medicinal fragrance that filled the entire tomb became. Wu Liang just leaned in and accidentally smelled it, and his nose was sore that he almost burst into tears. This smell was much more irritating than mustard.

.

Even the unknown transparent film has been smoked to a black and blue color. If you don't look carefully, you would think that the "young girl" has tattoos on these parts.

"These women should all be drug corpses."

Wu Liang finally came to a conclusion and turned back to explain to Dian Wei and Bai Jingjing, "Look, there are six small holes in the corpse, covering almost all parts of the human body. These are probably the holes used to pour the special antiseptic decoction.

, so that the decoction flows throughout the body, so as to achieve the effect of keeping the body indestructible all year round."

"However, this method of making is extremely cruel. The person used must be a living person. If it is a dead person, the blood will coagulate, and the decoction can no longer be injected, let alone maintain the skin color and appearance of a living person."

These words were mainly addressed to Dian Wei, so that Dian Wei would not be too nervous.

As for Bai Jingjing, a person from the opposite camp, Wu Liang was not obligated to tell her so many details.

However, this was actually Wu Liang’s first time coming into contact with this kind of “drug corpse”.

Before this, he had only heard of the famous "Poison Corpse". The so-called "Medicine Corpse" was also based on his speculation. After all, the positions of the holes on the corpses were the same, so the production method should be the same.

It's not much different, except that the "poison corpses" are injected with mercury instead of the unknown composition of the decoction in the "medicine corpses" in front of them.

From the effect point of view, "Medicine Corpse" should be an upgraded version of "Poison Corpse".

After all, no matter how the "poisoned corpse" is treated, the skin of the corpse will eventually turn a scary blue color due to the poisoning, but this "medicated corpse" can still keep the corpse's blood color like a living person.

However, Wu Liang was a little confused as to how this was done during the Western Han Dynasty.

After all, even in the 21st century with advanced technology, it seems that he has never heard of a magical decoction with such amazing effects in the world. It is simply incomprehensible...

But think again about the tomb robbing experience of King Liu Qu of Guangchuan recorded in historical documents:

"The tomb of Duke Linggong of Jin is very magnificent. The four corners are made of stones with dogs holding candles. The stone figures, men and women in their forties, stand as attendants. There is no sign that the coffin has been restored. The body is still in good condition."

"The tomb of King You is very tall and majestic. The gate is open. They are all made of stone. After clearing away more than ten feet of depth, you can find mica. It is more than one foot deep. You can see more than a hundred corpses lying on top of each other. They are all immortal. The only one is a man. The others are women.

.Some are sitting or lying down, some are still standing. The shape and color of their clothes are the same as those of ordinary people."

From this point of view, it seems that we can draw a surprising conclusion: this magical craft of making human figurines for burial has actually existed for a long time, but it was lost in the long history of unknown time.

After all, since the Han Dynasty, the custom of using people for burial has been gradually abandoned by people. Even in the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was basically eliminated. This kind of craft has no use at all, and it is reasonable for it to be lost.

"If this is the case, I don't know how much pain these women will endure when they die..."

After hearing Wu Liang's explanation, Bai Jingjing felt a little relieved, and then she frowned slightly and began to sympathize with these "young women" unconsciously.

However, she only spoke half of her words. She must have realized that her identity should not make such remarks, and then she said to Wu Liang angrily: "...You know so many medical principles that ordinary people don't know, and you also boast about your medical skills.

You are better than Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing, why can't you hang a pot to help the world like those two miracle doctors, but insist on doing this shameful theft? Isn't it a disgrace to the talent given to you by God?"

"Is the skill very advanced?"

Wu Liang asked rhetorically.

At this time, "medical skills" were classified as "prescription skills" and were regarded as a "low-grade profession". In fact, they did not have much social status. According to historical records, even Hua Tuo often regretted his career in medicine in his later years.

"snort……"

Bai Jingjing, an aboriginal, naturally knew this. She was speechless when asked, so she hummed and stopped talking, and followed her to look at the "young women" curiously.

However, unlike Wu Liang and Dian Wei, she did not just look at these human figurines with a "critical" eye. Sometimes she would stare at certain parts of the human figurines for a long time, and then look at herself, sometimes showing envy.

His expression sometimes revealed a proud look that was beyond comprehension.

After watching this for a while, Bai Jingjing suddenly couldn't help but ask a strange question: "Why do these women have their mouths open? Is it because they are too painful when they die?"

"It's because the owner of the tomb wanted them to die with their mouths open."

Wu Liang said without looking back, "If my guess is correct, those standing women should be called 'White Jade Cups', and those kneeling women should be called 'Fragrant Spit Pots'."

"What is a white jade cup? What is a fragrant saliva pot?"

Bai Jingjing was even more puzzled.

"Isn't there a painting on the wall?"

Wu Liang no longer paid attention to these human figurines. While looking around at other settings in the palace, he pointed at the walls on the east and west floors of these human figurines and said.

Bai Jingjing looked quickly.

But I saw that there was indeed a brightly colored mural on the walls on both sides.

The mural on the west side depicts a banquet scene, with guests sitting at the banquet.
