Chapter 041: His Name

"When this tomb was discovered, what else was inside?" Is there only one coffin in a huge tomb? Gu Yanran didn't believe it.

"There is only one wooden coffin, which is yellow rosewood, and it has not decayed for more than a thousand years. "The person who can make a coffin out of rosewood is indeed a little unusual, and when it was discovered, everyone was very surprised.

Huanghuali wood, the furniture in her own home is also made of Huanghuali, Huanghuali is of high quality, and it is natural that it will not decay after thousands of years.

But the question is, who will use the Huanghuali tomb to make a coffin?

Huanghuali wood only began to flourish in the royal family during the Ming Dynasty, let alone the Southern Dynasties.

In her impression, only the Song Emperor's bedroom in the palace has a bed made of yellow rosewood, which was dedicated to the Song Emperor by the people of the Wang family in the early years, but she has never seen a yellow rosewood in other places.

But she repeatedly promised Emperor Song that she would not sneak out to play again, so she got a piece of yellow rosewood, and she took it to make a string of Buddhist beads.

Wait, Wang? Isn't that in the House of Words?

Gu Yanran turned her head and glanced at Wen Yan, this yellow rosewood is related to the Wang family, although the Wang family is no longer in its heyday, but the family background is still very solid, many Wang clan people are engaged in business, she knows that Yanzhi's cousin is engaged in timber, and they are all good wood, huanghuali wood is rare, as long as it is found, it will be presented to the emperor immediately, and the wood of the bed is also found several times to make up enough.

Gu Yanran felt irritable in her heart, she had too many things she didn't know, which made her feel very uneasy, she always felt that things were not as simple as recorded in history.

Take Liu Yu as an example, she, the eleventh imperial uncle, really didn't do anything, after her imperial brother Liu Ziye succeeded to the throne, because he was afraid of several imperial uncles, Liu Ziye killed them and imprisoned them.

But why did so many things suddenly happen after her death, the eleventh emperor's uncle Liu Yu escaped, and killed Liu Chuyu and Liu Ziye together.

If you want to say that no one is behind the scenes, she doesn't believe it at all, Liu Yu doesn't have this ability, this is what she knows.

Several of her imperial brothers and uncles wished that they could ascend the throne, and it was impossible for them to willingly help Liu Yu win the throne and let him sit in this position.

In fact, she has always had two objects of suspicion in her heart, one is Xie Heng and the other is Wang Yanzhi.

From the Jin Dynasty to the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Wang Xie family has been the most prominent family for a hundred years.

Although it has begun to decline since the Southern Dynasty, as the saying goes, a thin camel is bigger than a horse, and the status and prestige of the two families are still unshakable by other families and royal families.

This is why Emperor Song married her mother, Queen Wang, and made her empress, giving birth to her eldest son. After that, the two also married her and Wang Ying.

Wang Ying is the name of the word, the word Fengguang.

At the beginning, she looked for him for a long time because of the name "Yanzhi...... It turned out that it was not his name at all.

Wen Yanzhi looked at Gu Yanran, who was stunned and looked at the scene without any reaction, he knew that she had fallen into his own contemplation again, and he didn't make a sound to disturb.

"It's a little strange, isn't it?" Gu Yanran, who had not made a sound, suddenly spoke.

"Do you mean the tomb or the owner?" Wen Yanzhi put his hand in the pocket of his coat and looked down at her.

His gaze stayed on her hair, Gu Yanran's hair was of good quality, the hair color was not very dark, there were some malnourished chestnuts, it looked very soft, which made him want to touch it.

However, his self-control is still good.

"Both. Gu Yanran turned his head, "Being able to make a coffin out of yellow rosewood is also an extremely luxurious thing now, let alone more than a thousand years ago." And it's just a coffin in the tomb, and everywhere is weird. Gu Yanran couldn't say why, "Have you seen all the unearthed cultural relics?"

"Not yet. He shook his head, "I just came here yesterday and have been dealing with the matter of Tomb Seven, and today I arrived one step ahead of you." ”

Tomb No. 7 is what she thought was the tomb of Liu Chuyu before.

"I heard that Group C is not going to excavate?" she knew that what she had just heard was just gossip, so it was better to ask the person concerned to come clearly.

"The manpower and material resources consumed in the early stage are too large, and it is equivalent to being lost. "Thirty-one empty burial chambers have been opened, can they not feel distressed?

Wen Yanzhi didn't ask her how she knew, what she wanted to know, she had her own way.

"And what about the last tomb?" she wanted to know most about the burial chamber under the sarcophagus.

"I can't open it, the material of that piece is different from the material of the stone door of the thirty-one tombs, it shouldn't be built in the same batch. He felt that the burial chamber was very unusual, and he wanted to open it to find out, but he couldn't argue with the other groups.

He was a little agitated, and his other hand was in the other pocket.

There was a pack of cigarettes inside, he subconsciously picked it up, and before his hand left his pocket, she remembered Gu Yanran next to her and silently put it back.

"I've always wanted to ask you, how did you know there was a burial chamber there?" The timing was not right before, and she never asked.

Gu Yanran felt that if he had asked him before, he would definitely laugh it off, or he would have sent her away with the word "intuition".

I have to say that she still knows him well sometimes.

If Wen Yanzhi knew what she was thinking at this time, he would definitely praise her for being smart.

"The water seeps down at that point, indicating that there is a gap. He took her left hand, "Let's go, I'll take you to see the unearthed objects." ”

His movements were natural, without a trace of embarrassment, as if he had done it countless times before, so naturally that Gu Yanran himself didn't notice anything wrong.

However, the biggest reason is that Gu Yanran's attention was on what he said, and he didn't notice his hands.

"You still have water with you?" When she went to the tomb, she saw Wen Yanzhi holding some bottles in her hands, but she didn't expect it to be just water?

"I brought it on purpose, I saw it in a book a long time ago, and it worked. Wen Yanzhi felt that Gu Yanran had a lot of questions today, but he didn't object to it, so it showed that she was slowly accepting him, didn't it?

After he came into contact, he also knew that she was a little cold, and people who were unwilling to approach, let alone say a word, would not give a single face.

"What book?" Gu Yanran was a little curious.

"A tomb robbery novel. Wen Yanzhi replied to her, his tone not like a joke.

"......" Gu Yanran didn't know what to say, she was stunned for a while, she really didn't expect Wen Yanzhi to say this, "You also believe this?"

"In fact, if you think about it carefully, they are illegal tomb robbers, and we are legal tomb robbers, the essence is no different, and they have much more experience than us, and sometimes they can indeed learn a lesson. "Archaeologists are all theoretical, and then practice, compared with tomb robbers, can only do as much as possible not to destroy cultural relics, other aspects are honest, really not as good as theirs.

Gu Yanran found that Wen Yanzhi really made her feel ...... when she said bluffing words Kind of makes sense.

"Do you know how that corpse has remained incorruptible for thousands of years?" ”

Wen Yanzhi looked at her being held by herself, very well-behaved, and her heart was very happy.

She is so knowledgeable and studious, he thinks it is very cute and likeable, he doesn't like to explain to people, but in front of her, he seems to feel that there is nothing wrong with it.

If she can continue like this, he can answer as many questions as she wants.

"There's mercury in it. As soon as he said this, he saw her surprised expression, and he was not surprised.

She looked at him, waiting for his answer.

"There is a jade plate under the corpse, there are holes in the jade plate, and there are mechanisms under the plate, and when the coffin is opened, the jade plate will lift the corpse up, and the original corpse is soaked in mercury, and then it will be separated. Wen Yanzhi explained in detail, and seeing that Gu Yanran listened extremely seriously, his tone slowed down a lot.

"This mechanism should have been considered advanced at that time. Although it sounds like Gu Yanran thinks it's nothing at this time, at that time, it can indeed be regarded as advanced.

"Well, if you can think of such a way to preserve the body, you can see that the owner of the tomb should be the most important person to be buried. "This mechanism was also discovered by Wen Yanzhi later, and the structure is very exquisite, although it is not as delicate as the current precision mechanism, but put together five hundred years ago, it can be regarded as one of the best.

Extremely important people, who will put Liu Chuyu at the tip of their hearts, I am afraid that Liu Ziye is the only one.

"But why is it designed to separate the corpse from the mercury after the coffin is opened?

Wen Yanzhi also thought about this question, he had a few conjectures, but none of them were verified, "Maybe the person who buried her at that time just wanted someone to open the coffin later." ”

A gust of wind blew, and his words slowly drifted into her ears, Gu Yanran couldn't help but shudder, listening to him, how could he be a little crazy.

"What about the corpse?" After all, it was her sister's corpse, although she resented Liu Chuyu, but after so many years, those things can be regarded as history, and there is no need for her to linger on it.

Now that Liu Chuyu is gone, she is alive and well, what is there to be dissatisfied with.

She took it out and put it in a glass coffin, infused with mercury from her own sarcophagus. "After so many years, the composition of the mercury liquid has already changed, and now I haven't started to study it in a real way, so it's not good to change the embalming liquid rashly, I'm afraid it will have any effect on the body.

Gu Yanran understood and didn't ask why.

Suddenly she thought of something, stretched out her right hand and looked at it, and at that time she thought that there was no mercury, so she took the piece of jade in the corpse's hand.

"I touched the piece of jade at the time. Mercury can be poisoned if touched or inhaled in large quantities, although she was wearing gloves at that time, she was still a little flustered, "What should I do?"

Wen Yanzhi smiled dotingly, now I know that I am in a hurry? At that time, I was bold, "It's okay, this jade doesn't touch mercury, when you were in the hospital, I asked the hospital to do a test for you, and there was basically no mercury inhalation." ”

"How did I not know?" she was not impressed at all, when did the doctor examine her?
