Chapter 403: Cold Sky Xuanbing
"What's the solution?"
The wolf head was silent for a long time, obviously shaken by the conditions proposed by Wu Duxue.
After all, for Wang Jia's death, the wolf head still has remorse and chagrin in his heart.
Even how much the wolf head wished that he hadn't brought Wang Jia closer and participated in his plan, but now it's too late.
Wang Jia left him, looking at Wang Jia in his arms, the white cloth wrapped Wang Jia's corpse, and the wolf head looked at the pale face exposed, and his heart was still very reluctant.
The night breeze blew through the courtyard of the silent front hall of the Chen Mansion, and the air was tense.
"Senior, as long as this matter is understood, I promise you that I will definitely return Miss Wang Jia's body to you."
Wu Duxue promised again, and the wolf head was already tempted.
"What's the method you're talking about?"
The wolf head lowered his head and looked at the beautiful woman in the conversation, and asked in a deep voice.
"Do you know that when the first emperor was in power, he once captured a cold sky ice in the Northern War."
When Wu Duxue heard the wolf head ask like this, she was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly explained.
Icy Ice?
A hint of discoloration flashed slightly under the wolf's eyes, and he had naturally heard a lot about the name of Cold Sky Xuanbing.
After all, when I was on the border between the Tidi clan and the Ye Dynasty, I heard about it many times, but there were too many people who boasted about the efficacy of this cold sky Xuanbing, and now the wolf head doesn't know which one of them is true and which one is fake.
The wolf head nodded slightly, waiting for Wu Duxue's next step.
"Back then, the first emperor said that the cold sky ice was collected into the harem and stored at the bottom of the clear spring pool in the palace, and countless skilled craftsmen were arranged to use the forging process to inlay that large piece of cold sky ice into the deepest part of the clear spring pool."
Wu Duxue said as she waved her hand gently, signaling the officers and soldiers on both sides to put away the long knives in their hands, and then motioned for everyone to withdraw first.
After Wu Duxue's try, the officers and soldiers on both sides retreated one after another.
"No wonder this clear spring pool is known as a hundred years of cold, no matter whether it is cold or hot, it will not dry up or freeze, and it can also escape the heat."
The wolf's head murmured softly, and it was also puzzled.
Wu Duxue heard the wolf's head gradually becoming a little relaxed, so she hurriedly opened her mouth and continued: "Although this cold sky ice can't bring people back to life, it can preserve the flesh from decay. ”
"Not rotten?"
The wolf's head showed a hint of hesitation, obviously a little skeptical of what Wu Duxue said, after all, this thing can't be allowed to try, if you wait for three days, Wang Jia's corpse has a problem, wouldn't you not even be able to touch a complete corpse?
What's more, the wolf head also knows a lot about the method of not decomposing the corpse, but those methods are too cruel, and some of them take out all the internal organs and store some substitutes.
Some even need to cut off the limbs, remove the drive, and reassemble them from scratch.
In the face of these practices, the wolf head couldn't bear to let Wang Jia's corpse go through, even if it was rotten, the wolf head would rather let Wang Jia sleep underground without being disturbed by others, rather than destroy it like this for his own selfish desires.
This is also why the wolf head asked Wu Duxue first.
After all, people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, and the wolf head can't guarantee whether what Wu Duxue said is true, or that he lied in order to leave Wang Jia's corpse, and used other methods behind his back.
"Do you know why I'm asking you how?"
The wolf head turned around and sat down on the ground slowly, the evening breeze blowing a trace of Wang Jia's hair in his arms.
Mixed with a faint smell of blood and the dryness of the earth.
The wolf head asked, looking at Wu Duxue standing in front of him, his eyes were full of seriousness.
Wu Duxue looked at the wolf's head flickering abnormally in the night, and replied softly: "The seniors don't want Miss Wang Jia to be tortured after death." ”
The wolf head nodded, and then looked up at the night sky above his head, the moonlight was bright tonight, the starry sky was bright, and the wolf head's hands unconsciously hugged the person in his arms a little tighter, and the look in his eyes flashed slightly with a hint of yearning.
"Rest assured, senior, the reason why I say this is because of another secret."
After thinking for a moment, Wu Duxue decided to tell the secret on her own initiative.
"What's the secret?"
The wolf head looked up at the starry sky, and seemed to enjoy it very much, after all, this scene at the moment can be said to be a wish that the wolf head has not dared to realize for many years.
You can just hold Wang Jia quietly, and then quietly enjoy the flowing clouds during the day and the starry sky at night.
Now I can finally do it.
As the wolf's head asked, the abrupt Adam's apple between the wolf's neck rolled up and down.
"Have the predecessors discovered that whether it is Tidi, Dongyi, or Nanban, all the royal families have their own ancestral tombs."
Hearing Wu Duxue mention it, the wolf head couldn't help but sneer: "Of course, the ancestral tomb of the Tidi clan is on the edge of the abyss, the ancestral tomb of Dongyi is said to be in the depths of the sea of fire, and the ancestral tomb of Nanban seems to be on the other side of the forest." ”
"Where is the ancestral tomb of the Ye Dynasty?"
Wu Duxue asked, but the wolf head was stunned.
Yes, after Wu Duxue's question, it really made the wolf head react, and there doesn't seem to be an ancestral tomb in this Ye Dynasty.
"What do you mean?"
The wolf head withdrew his gaze from looking up at the starry sky, turned to look at Wu Duxue, and asked with a slight hesitation.
"In fact, the Ye Dynasty also has ancestral tombs, and our Wu family is actually the guardian of the ancestral tombs of the Ye Dynasty for generations."
Wu Duxue said this, her expression was slightly embarrassed, after all, the identity of the tomb keeper of the Wu family has always been inherited by men, until Wu Duxue's generation, because of family changes, she can only inherit it by her, the only descendant.
This is also the reason why Wu Duxue, a third-grade official, can know the secrets of the royal family.
"No wonder, I still wonder how you can know the secrets of the royal family if you are only a third-grade Shangshu at most, so what does this have to do with the cold sky Xuanbing you are talking about."
Wu Duxue faced the wolf's disdainful questioning, but she was not angry, but continued in a calm tone:
"The ancestral tomb of the Ye Dynasty royal family has always been in the palace, so this is why outsiders have never known about it."
"Always at the palace?"
When the wolf head heard this, he was a little unconvinced, so he spoke: "The Ye Dynasty was originally just the westernmost seaside country, and your ancestral tomb is indeed in the imperial palace in Kyoto today, which is a little ridiculous." ”
Wu Duxue nodded helplessly and said: "Indeed, the predecessors may not believe it, but when the first emperor moved the capital to Kyoto, it was actually to hide people's eyes, and in fact, it was to move the ancestral tomb of the Ye Dynasty here. ”
The wolf's head was silent, as if thinking.
Wu Duxue continued: "The predecessors thought about it, when the first emperor moved the capital, it was after obtaining the Heavenly Cold Xuanbing. ”
