Chapter 151: Magical Fire Raccoon Cloth! (4200 second update)
Previously, Wu Liang was most worried about the "Spirit Lake Soul Sucking" incident.
I even thought about whether I could use manpower to stimulate the "Spirit Lake Soul Sucking" incident to break out in advance under the condition of ensuring safety, so as to ensure that no accidents would occur in the process of robbing the tomb.
It's a pity that I really don't have that ability.
Now, a large amount of carbon dioxide has burst out at the bottom of Linghu Lake, and the next step is to enter the state of a sage for decades, and this concern is no longer a problem for the Qiangren army.
Therefore, the excavation work of the tomb of the Marquis of Haiyang can officially enter the stage of full completion.
However, now that the "Spirit Lake Soul Sucking" has only been over for a few hours, you still need to be more careful in the process of descending the mountain.
Especially when entering the tomb of the Marquis of Haiding, you should be more careful in terms of caution, after all, the lower the terrain, the easier it is to deposit carbon dioxide, not to mention that the ventilation conditions in the tomb are slightly worse than outside.
Thereupon.
After a short time, Yang Wanli summoned all the soldiers of the Wanren army.
Wu Liang's soldiers lit the torches again, and while testing the air conditions under the mountain, they cautiously descended the mountain.
When they just came to the mountainside where Bai Jingjing and Yu Ji died suddenly, the terrible scene they saw had already shocked the soldiers of the Qiangren Army, who still didn't know the truth:
"...... this?"
"Why are there dead birds everywhere?"
"Why are all the animals in the forest dead inexplicably, you see, there are still a few dead squirrels under the trees over there!"
"What the hell is going on?!"
“……”
At this time, the soldiers of the Hingren Army finally vaguely realized what terrible things had happened just now.
It was as if suddenly an invisible and intangible mysterious force appeared, bringing the whole area ...... The lives of living creatures were taken away in an instant, including Bai Jingjing and Yu Ji.
If Wu Liang hadn't rescued him in time, the two of them would have ended up like these birds and animals, turning into a cold corpse.
After all, they had just passed by the two fast horses that Bai Jingjing and Yu Ji had left behind.
Although Bai Jingjing and Yu Ji were alive and kicking at the moment, the two fast horses stayed there forever.
“……”
Thinking of this, almost all the soldiers were a little frightened, and they all looked at Wu Liang unconsciously, but no one dared to look at it with their eyes, just like when they entered the temple to worship the statue.
At this moment, Wu Liang seemed to have divine power in their hearts that mortals could only look up to.
That divine power can bring people back to life, which is beyond the reach of mortals like them, and can only be viewed with awe.
However, there were still a few officers who couldn't suppress their curiosity and secretly came to the side of Yang Wanli, who was easier to speak, and lowered their voices and secretly inquired: "Hey, Uncle Yang, except for Dian Wei, you are most familiar with Captain Wu here, you give me a good idea, is our Captain Wu not a mortal at all?" ”
"How do you tell?"
Yang Wanli is also pinching his throat and sneaky.
"Isn't that obvious? You look at the corpses of birds and beasts all over the ground, this place must have been punished by heaven not long ago, Captain Wu told us to hide in the mountains to escape the catastrophe, don't you say this is a god? ”
An officer said with an exaggerated expression, "If you are a mortal, how can you predict the curse, and how can you calculate the location where you will not suffer the curse, and guide us to avoid the catastrophe in advance?" ”
"Hmm...... You've got some brains. ”
Yang Wanli nodded thoughtfully.
"And how can a mortal raise a man from the dead? This is clearly immortal magic! ”
Another officer then added, "A few of us have just seen clearly, the white girl and the old Taoist priest were already out of breath when they were carried up, and the three souls and seven spirits must have dissipated long ago, but our Captain Wu used a little magic to recruit the souls of these two people back, so that those two people came back to life, is this something that mortals can do?" ”
"Hmm...... What you say also makes sense. ”
Yang Wanli then nodded, with an expression of "You are really a little clever ghost".
"And more!"
Someone else spoke actively, "Uncle Yang, do you remember what happened when you saved that old Taoist priest just now?" At that time, the old Taoist priest was indeed dead, right? ”
"I don't want to remember this again in my life! But...... He had no snort, no pulse, and was definitely a dead body...... What exactly are you trying to say? ”
Yang Wanli asked with a slight frown.
"At that time, Yang Bochang gave a long time to the old Taoist priest, and the old Taoist priest never showed any signs of resurrection."
This person blinked his eyes again and said to a few people with an exaggerated expression, "Later, until Captain Wu came behind Yang Bochang, he just patted Yang Bochang on the shoulder gently, and the old Taoist priest immediately woke up, what do you say is going on?" Wasn't it because when Captain Wu patted Yang Bochang on the shoulder, he poured his divine power into the old Taoist priest's body through Yang Bochang's body, so that he immediately came back to life? ”
"Gee, why didn't I think of that?"
As soon as he heard this, Yang Wanli immediately slapped his head heavily, looking like he saw a rainbow through the clouds and mist, "I'll just say, with my mortal body, how can I have the ability to bring that old Taoist priest back to life, this is obviously the credit of Captain Wu, he just doesn't want to show his magical powers in public!" ”
Therefore, if the old Taoist priest wants to find someone to be responsible, he shouldn't ask me to be responsible!
I was just a tool, a carrier!
The one who can really be responsible for the old Taoist priest must be the supernatural Captain Wu, if the old Taoist priest comes to pester me again in a while, I will say this to him!
Yang Wanli couldn't stop nodding in recognition of a few officers before, but he didn't pretend to fool them.
As a native of the late Eastern Han Dynasty, Yang Wanli was completely consistent with the worldview of these soldiers, the only difference was that he knew the rumors of "Linghu Soul Sucking" in advance.
As for when did "Soul Sucking" appear?
He also had no idea how to deal with it or where to avoid this unpredictable curse, but he had been following Wu Liang's orders.
Therefore, in his eyes, Wu Liang is not a mortal at all, and he doesn't need these people to help him Dihua at all.
"Uncle Yang, you tell us the truth."
Several officers nodded and said yes for a long time, and then looked at Yang Wanli together, and asked solemnly, "When Captain Wu patted you on the shoulder and the supernatural power passed through your body, did you feel anything different...... For no other reason, we want to know what it is like for God to pass through the body. ”
"This ......"
Yang Wanli didn't feel anything, but when he heard a few officers say this, he seemed to have a feeling all of a sudden, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt it.
"Yes! That's definitely there! ”
Yang Wanli recalled carefully, and described the magical feeling he "recalled" to several officers who looked at him as much as possible, "At that time, I felt that there was a warm current flowing into my shoulders, which was a crispy and numb feeling, and I couldn't help but tremble slightly up and down, and I couldn't say ......how comfortable it was."
"Then, my heart was beating faster, my breathing was much faster, my body started to heat up, and I couldn't help but shiver......"
"In the end, the warm current finally passed through me, and then slid into the mouth of the old Taoist priest with a 'boom', and my legs were weak at that time, and I almost couldn't stand ......firmly."
"Probably, that's how it feels, I don't have much culture, and I can't say much detail, anyway, it's almost like this, if there is such a good thing next time, you take the initiative to ask Ying to give it a try, and keep it to make you happy."
……
Not long after, Wu Liang and the others had already come to the entrance of the dug up tomb of the Marquis of Haiding.
Standing here, you can clearly see the situation in the Spirit Lake, and at this time, a large number of dead fish and dead shrimp have floated in the lake.
Some of the dead fish and shrimp have been pushed to the shore by the waves, and some are piled up in the water near the shore of the lake, stacking up a thick layer......
"Spirit Lake Soul Sucking" is undoubtedly a catastrophe for the creatures in the lake.
"These are all gifts from heaven, and now I announce a good news, in the past few days, the brothers have only eaten meat, whether it is swimming in the lake, flying in the sky, or running on the ground, everyone eats with an open stomach, eats as much as they want, eats whatever they want, eats to their heart's content, eats until they vomit!"
Wu Liang decisively announced an exciting piece of good news.
These animals are all killed by carbon dioxide poisoning, which is not toxic in itself, and does not affect the consumption at all, the only problem is that there are too many to store, so you can eat as much as you can before rotting.
It's also a good use.
"Oh!!"
As soon as they heard this, the soldiers of the Qiangren Army were in high spirits and shouted in unison.
"But now we still have to do the right thing first, invite our big rooster out, and go to the tomb to exorcise evil spirits for us."
Wu Liang said with a smile.
The tomb of the Marquis of Hailun has been explored before, and the only thing to worry about at this moment is whether the carbon dioxide in the tomb exceeds the standard, so the process of ventilation and air testing can be simplified a lot.
Drive the big rooster in front, and the rest of the people will follow behind with torches, as long as there is no abnormality, it means that the carbon dioxide that poured into the tomb just now is almost dispersed, and there will be no more problems.
So under the leadership of the big rooster and Wu Liang.
After a round of exploration in the tomb of the Marquis of Haiding, the army of the people officially entered the tomb of the Marquis of Haihuang and began to operate.
Of course.
The first thing to carry must be the two sets of bamboo slips of "History of Qi" and "Analects and Knowledge" that Wu Liang had been optimistic about before.
Wu Liang personally instructed the soldiers to tie up the two sets of bamboo slips untouched, and move them out one by one for proper preservation.
As for the gold in the tomb on the west side of the main coffin, it was handed over to Dian Wei and Yang Wanli to supervise the handling, or the previous routine in the tomb of King Liang Xiao, each piece of gold was engraved with a number and recorded in the book to ensure that nothing was lost.
In the process of carrying the gold, Wu Liang once again returned to the main coffin.
After opening the coffin of Liu He, Marquis of Haidu, although Wu Liang had already seen the remains and burial goods in the coffin, because of the sudden appearance of the earthquake, he did not have time to check more carefully, let alone restore the coffin, so he took Bai Jingjing and fled, so he still needed to do some simple finishing work.
Before coming to the coffin again, Wu Liang looked into the coffin.
The "Spirit Lake Soul Sucking" did not have any impact on the corpse of Liu He, Marquis of Haidu, and the burial goods in the tomb, and Wu Liang looked at it carefully from top to bottom.
This time, when I calmed down and checked, I didn't find anything worth "protecting", so I was able to restore the coffin with peace of mind.
Wu Liang took one last look, and then prepared to call the accompanying soldiers to work.
But it's also this look.
"Wait a minute!"
There was another detail inside the coffin that was not easy to find that attracted Wu Liang's attention.
Although Liu He, Marquis of Haidu, was buried and had lost the qualification to use yellow intestines and jade clothes, his assets for the burial were very rich, and he was definitely not an ordinary rich man in any era.
What is puzzling is that the lining of the large coffin under Liu He's body looks extremely incompatible with his identity and burial goods.
That seems to ...... Is it a large piece of rough and cheap linen?
This detail, which was almost overlooked, made Wu Liang feel very incredible.
It's like a wealthy businessman who is very well-dressed, with extremely expensive custom suits all over his body, but he wears a pair of double planet shoes that cost dozens of dollars on his feet.
No matter how you look at it, it gives people a very disobedient feeling.
Wu Liang felt that this should not be negligence.
Because of the identity of Liu He, the Marquis of Haidu, it is unlikely that either he or his family will usually wear linen, so in the Western Han Dynasty, where thick burials were popular, the possibility of such negligence during burial is basically zero.
So.
There's only one possibility!
This thing probably isn't just linen, or maybe it's not sackcloth at all!
With this thought, Wu Liang reached in, lifted the corner of the linen cloth and twisted it with his fingers.
It doesn't seem to be ordinary linen indeed!
Although this cloth is coarse like linen, it is lighter than linen and has a slightly different texture...... Wu Liang is wearing linen clothes now, and it is easy to distinguish them by comparing them on the spot.
"And what kind of cloth is this?"
Wu Liang's heart was even more puzzled.
He immediately pulled out the dagger that was stuck behind his waist and cut off a tiny corner of the cloth.
Although he was not an expert in the field, he could not discern the tiny categories of fabrics with all the bells and whistles, but he knew a stupid way to distinguish the raw materials of fabrics.
Fire.
By burning a fabric or thread with fire, you can roughly distinguish the raw material of the fabric by the smell it emits when it burns, the smoke that comes out, and the ashes left after burning.
Today's fabrics don't have the bells and whistles of later generations, and once you identify the type of raw material, you can basically know what kind of cloth it is.
It doesn't matter if you burn it.
There was another magical scene!
Instead of being ignited under the burning of the torches, this small piece of yellowed cloth turned into an extremely pure snow-white color in an instant, as if by magic?
"This is?!"
Wu Liang was stunned for a moment.
Could this thing be the legend - Fire Cloth?!
The existence of "fire raccoon cloth" is recorded in many historical documents of the ancient Celestial Empire.
The "Classic of Mountains and Seas" says this: Legend has it that there is a mountain surrounded by fire in Kunlun Mountain, and there is a kind of rat that is bigger than a cow grows in this mountain, weighing thousands of catties, two feet long, and the capillaries are like silk.
This rat lives in the mountain fire, when it is in the fire, it will be red, and it will become snow-white when it comes out, and when it leaves the fire, if it is splashed with water immediately, this kind of rat will die if it is stained with water, if it is made into clothes from its woolen cloth, it will never have to be washed, and when it is dirty, as long as it is taken to the fire and burned, it will immediately be as white as new, so people call it "fire cloth"......
