Eight hundred and nineteenth chapter strange eyeballs (4000)(1/2)
"The mouth of the Yellow River..."
As far as Wu Liang knows, the entrance of the Yellow River in later generations was at the intersection of the Bohai Sea and Laizhou Bay, but in this era there is a question mark as to where the entrance of the Yellow River was.
First of all, according to historical records, in the three thousand years from the pre-Qin period to later generations, the lower reaches of the Yellow River breached for 1,593 times, with an average of two breaches every three years, and important diversions 26 times, and it was located in the Bohai Sea and Laizhou Bay
The entrance to the sea at the intersection is actually the result of the Yellow River breach in 1885.
Secondly, unlike the prosperity of coastal areas in later generations, the current coastal area along the lower reaches of the Yellow River is often threatened by the Yellow River bursts and marine climate. This area is basically a no-man's land, and even fishermen who make a living by fishing are
Rarely seen.
If Wu Liang remembers correctly, this area extends from the later Tianjin area in the north to the current border of Le'an Kingdom in the south.
This area belongs to neither Youzhou nor Qingzhou.
There were no towns, no political or military power, and even the Han Dynasty would rather travel thousands of miles to the Western Regions to establish a protective palace than incorporate this area into its own territory.
Under this situation, the "fairy mountain" mentioned by Qiu Lian has unknown conditions.
However, what Wu Liang can be sure of is that this "fairy mountain" must no longer exist in later generations. Otherwise, such a monument, which may have been built in the pre-Qin period or even the ancient period, will definitely leave a mark in the archaeological world.
As for the reason why the "fairy mountain" made those villagers unable to return, it remains to be further verified.
Fortunately, the mouth of the Yellow River is an easy-to-find landmark, so this unknown "fairy mountain" is not difficult to find.
The only question now is whether this "fairy mountain" is related to the "Bian Que" organization, and whether it is worth spending the precious time for him and the backbone of the Hu army to explore. After all, they are the only ones left.
In less than three months, it is expected that the trip back and forth will take at least more than half a month. If important progress cannot be made, his decision will be a waste of his own and everyone's lives.
After pondering like this for a moment, Wu Liang still hesitated and had to continue asking Qiu Lian: "Besides these, is there anything else you need to add?"
"If I go back to you, Master, I know this is all I have."
Qiu Lian shook her head and said.
"In that case, you should go and rest with your child first. If you think of any secrets unique to Sanmen Village again, it won't be too late to tell me."
Wu Liang nodded slightly.
Unable to make up his mind, Wu Liang decided to continue to act according to his previous idea and first explore the Bian Que tomb to see if he could find anything before making a decision.
However, in his heart he still preferred to explore the "Fairy Mountain".
Because the mirage of this "fairy mountain" can only be seen under the old mulberry tree in the courtyard of the hotel where the Qinyue people once lived, and it was here that the Qinyue people mastered superb medical skills in a very short period of time.
, which made Wu Liang subconsciously feel that there was some connection between the two.
in addition.
Although the history books say that it was because a person named "Chang Sang Jun" passed on the forbidden recipe to him, the identity of this "Chang Sang Jun" is actually worthy of scrutiny, because the history books also specifically write, "Chang Sang Jun"
After "Chang Sang Jun" gave him the forbidden recipe, he "suddenly disappeared and was almost inhumane." This was the only time this person named "Chang Sang Jun" appeared in the history books of the Celestial Dynasty. No one knew his origin and past.
.
In addition, the village chief told Wu Liang before that Sanmen Village should be called "Changsang Village", and the word "Changsang" refers to the old mulberry tree...
Wu Liang had to wonder whether this "Changmulberry Lord" really existed, or whether he might be a metaphor for something, such as the old mulberry tree?
Thinking of this, Wu Liang called Yang Wanli to his side: "Yang Wanli, please take our brothers to Sanmen Village again, go to the village chief's courtyard to find the cellar well, and bring all the things inside to me."
"promise!"
Yang Wanli agreed and went to do it.
"This time Dianwei is going to stay and guard. You and your brothers must bring all the guys with you, and also bring some 'innuendos' with you in case of emergencies."
Wu Liang gave another special instruction.
…
When the sky is dark.
Yang Wanli and the soldiers of the Hu army finally came back. They didn't encounter the villagers who had fled, but they didn't bring much. They could only put it all together in a small cloth bag.
"Sir, they are all here, take a look."
Yang Wanli untied the cloth bag and spread it in front of Wu Liang, and said.
There are a bunch of various gold and jade items placed inside, but they are all small items, and their total weight should only be a dozen kilograms at most.
The styles of these gold and jade articles seem to be new to the Han Dynasty. Although they will certainly be regarded as very precious antiques in later generations, they have no archaeological value at this time.
However, this is consistent with Qiu Lian's statement. These should be the property obtained from the murder of business travelers in Sanmen Village.
After briefly looking through it, Wu Liang had originally planned to teach Yang Wanli to distribute these things to the soldiers of the Hu army, but he suddenly found an incompatible little thing among the pair of small objects.
"What's this?"
Wu Liang picked up the little thing and looked at it carefully.
"I didn't notice this thing before...it looks like an eyeball."
Yang Wanli came closer and said.
It does look like an eyeball, and you can even see a hole in it, but to be precise, it is actually a round stone that looks like an eyeball, because its texture is exactly that of stone, and it feels hard and cold to the touch.
.
"Could it be a prosthetic eye?"
Wu Liang muttered.
There are blind people in any era. Some blind people are caused by acquired injuries. Because they have lost their eyeballs, some people use artificial eyes to decorate the empty eye sockets.
But it’s hard to say whether people have started to use prosthetic eyes in this era.
At least as far as Wu Liang knows, Xiahou Dun was blinded by Lu Bu's troops two years ago, and even pulled out his eyeballs and arrows. However, he did not use artificial eyes for decoration at that time, but only used an eyepatch to cover his eyes.
Those hollow eye sockets that are a little scary live in it.
In addition, Wu Liang has never seen anyone wearing prosthetic eyes.
"What is a prosthetic eye?"
Yang Wanli had never heard of this term and asked curiously.
"It's just artificial eyes."
Wu Liang changed the term to a more popular one and still looked at the eye carefully.
From the texture point of view, Wu Liang felt that it should belong to the category of Yuhua Stone, which is a natural agate stone. This kind of thing was called "Yao Kun" in the pre-Qin period and was considered a relatively precious gemstone.
But in the hereafter.
Wu Liang heard that only a very small number of Yuhua stones with collectible value are more valuable, while the vast majority of Yuhua stones are just ordinary stones, not much more precious than the cobblestones that can be seen everywhere. They can even be purchased online by the pound, and in the construction industry, they can be purchased by the pound.
tons to buy.
But then again, the rain flower stone in front of me must be one of the very few gems with collectible value. After all, it has a naturally formed eyeball shape. This can already make it a unique existence in the world, and it matches the rarity of things.
For your economic theory.
"Could this be a victim's prosthetic eyes, just like gold dentures, which were taken away after being killed by people in Sanmen Village and finally collected by the village chief..."
Wu Liang thought to himself, and happened to see Prince Chamu emerging from the tent not far away. He walked toward the grass next to him for a while, and then staggered back to the tent to sleep.
Last night was really stressful.
So far, Prince Chamu and others have only slept for an hour and a half at most, and it's just dawn, and it's not yet time for Wu Liang to go to Bian Que's tomb to investigate.
"Prince Chamu, wait a moment."
Wu Liang thought of something, so he stopped Prince Chamu, walked a few steps quickly and handed the eyeball to Prince Chamu, "Please help me see if this thing contains a mysterious aura."
"Um?"
Prince Chamu scratched his slightly curly hair and struggled to open half of his eyes.
The next second.
"well?!"
Half of his eyes suddenly widened a lot, and Prince Chamu finally came to his senses. He couldn't help but let out a soft cry, "This... what on earth is this thing that contains such a powerful aura?"
"This thing really contains a mysterious aura?"
Wu Liang was also a little surprised. Originally, he was just trying to be a dead horse.
"good!"
Prince Chamu affirmed, "The aura it emits can even be compared with the aura emitted by the Young Master's Fang Bronze Seal when he went to Yuzhou Mountain... Young Master, if I read it correctly, this seems to be an eyeball."
, where did you get it?”
"Search it from the village chief's house."
Wu Liang said.
"Can you show me?"
Prince Chamu said enthusiastically.
Wu Liang then generously handed the eyeball to Prince Chamu. After Prince Chamu thanked him, he held the eyeball and looked at it carefully, especially the deep and transparent part on the eyeball.
