Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Bones of the Martyrs
When I heard the sound, I was so excited that I finally opened the lid more than 2,000 years ago, and immediately the smell of wine wafted out of it. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Damn, there's wine." Yang Gang also smelled the aroma of wine and immediately came over.
"It's probably wine." I'm sure.
"I'll taste it." Yang Gang seems to be a good wine, and he wants to taste it as soon as he comes over.
I immediately stopped: "Don't die, can you still drink wine from more than 2,000 years ago." ”
"I'm sorry, I'm so excited, it's a pity that the drinking water is all for Zhao Linsheng, otherwise we will have a bottle." Yang Gang said with a smile.
More than 2,000 years ago, the wine still has the aroma of wine, indicating that there is still a certain amount of alcohol that has not volatilized, although it can't be drunk, it is okay to deal with the bloodthirsty golden turtle, I carried a kettle with me, there was no water in it for a long time, so I hit a kettle with a kettle.
The wine in the bronze is very clear, without any impurities, only the patina that fell when the lid was opened, and what is even more surprising is that after more than 2,000 years, the alcohol in the wine has not yet volatilized, it stands to reason that the alcohol of hundreds of years will volatilize completely, leaving the same as water, and it cannot be drunk.
Filled with wine, I regarded it as a life-saving potion, and carefully put it away, and I looked again at the wound on my arm, where blood oozed out and stained the strips of cloth, perhaps because of the vigorous use of the force.
"It's a pity that I can't take away so many bronzes." Yang Gang sighed as he looked at the many bronzes on display.
Shangguan Yaxiong pointed to the pile of wooden boxes that had long been decayed and told Yang Gang, "There is gold here." ”
"Gold?" Yang Gang shouted and ran over to look.
I looked over and saw that the rotten box was full of gold and jade, but the dust was so thick that I couldn't tell what it was without erasing it.
I picked one up, and the gold was cast in the shape of a cake, but it was coarsely cast, and even deformed.
"It's a golden cake." I said, and at the same time I was a little surprised, because most of the gold cakes unearthed so far are from the Han Dynasty, while the gold cakes of the Qin period are only rumored and have not been seen.
Gold is the world's hard currency, everyone knows this, so at this time Yang Gang has begun to load in the backpack, I did not stop, this way, although it can not be said that it has gone through hardships, but the danger has always been, risking the danger, you can't go home empty-handed.
"Why don't you take it?" I saw that Shangguan Yaxiong was just constantly looking at new things, and he didn't want to take anything away, so I asked her.
"I'm not short of money, and I believe that if you want gold, you can get it at any time in this underground palace." Shangguan Yaxiong replied to me.
Shangguan Yaxiong is right, think about it, even the crossbow arrows and arrows in this dungeon are made of gold.
Yang Gang stuffed his backpack, and even wanted to throw away the equipment and gold, so I immediately stopped him and said: "Don't be stupid, we haven't walked out of the dungeon yet, and the equipment must not be lost, otherwise we will have a life to take the gold and no life to spend." ”
At my stop, Yang just gave up the urge to throw away his equipment.
I watched Yang Gang put the backpack on his back, obviously the backpack had sunk a lot, and he stared at the inexhaustible gold, the center of his eyes was unwilling, I suddenly thought, what kind of person is this white Yang Gong's descendant, he didn't have any extra words all the way, just concentrated on doing things, and he didn't show extreme greed after entering the underground palace, and at this time, he packed many pieces of gold cakes.
"Let's go over there and have a look." I said to Yang Gang, who had already carried his backpack, and Shangguan Yaxiong, who saw the same.
Shangguan Yaxiong nodded, and Yang Gang agreed.
In the second room on the right, the door was also dilapidated, and it dispersed as soon as it was pushed, and a rotten smell came to the nose, and although he was wearing a mask, he could not completely block the smell from penetrating his nose.
"Why is the smell of decay so strong in this room, it seems to be different from other places." As soon as he entered, Shangguan Yaxiong waved his palm in front of the mask and asked.
I took one look at the contents of the second room, and immediately understood the reason for the special smell of decay, and pointed to everything in front of me and said to them, "These are the reasons for the special smell." ”
"I'll ......," Yang Gang exclaimed.
"So many bones." Shangguan Yaxiong was also surprised.
Only in the graveyard had so many bones been seen in the tunnel, and those were the bones of the craftsmen who had been buried alive.
There was almost nothing arrayed in the rectangular secondary room, except for bones, and they were arranged in an extremely neat manner, at least at first.
Entering through the door, there was only a small passage in the middle of the rectangular secondary room, and two rows of bones were placed on both sides with their heads facing the middle, and it seemed that there were at least thirty or forty corpses.
The clothes on the bones were rotten, but they were still in their original place, and even the hair was still on the head, and the flesh and blood had long since been reduced to nothing, revealing the bones, strangely the color of the bones.
"Why is the color of the bones so strange?" I muttered to myself.
"This is not surprising, aren't the bones in the Qi Palace's also black, and they must be leftovers from the bloodthirsty golden turtle." Shangguan Yaxiong thought of the bones on the throne of the Qi Palace and replied to me.
"What do you think?" I asked Yang Gang.
Yang Gang shook his head directly: "I don't know." ”
"You see, the bones from the neck to the abdomen of all the bones are black, and the bones on the limbs are not." I told them about the phenomenon I had noticed.
"Yes." To prove my observations, I picked out the rotting clothing from several of the skeletons, revealing the bones.
The results were obvious, and Shangguan Yaxiong also picked up several corpses, and the result was the same.
"How can this be, is it possible that the bloodthirsty golden turtle only eats the flesh and blood of the body, but not the flesh and blood of the limbs." Shangguan Yaxiong then said.
I shook my head, because in front of the palace gate, I had already seen the image of the bloodthirsty golden turtle eating human flesh, the corpses of the mercenaries who had been killed by the arrow were eaten by the hordes of bloodthirsty golden turtles, and the bloodthirsty golden turtle stabbed upward, not distinguishing between the torso and the limbs, but eating them all.
"Human martyrdom." I spat out two words, only this one is more consistent and can prove the difference in the color of the bones.
"Human martyrdom, that is, killing the living or burying the living directly in the grave with the burial, will not cause the bones of the martyr to be different in color." Shangguan Yaxiong still doesn't know much about martyrdom.
I nodded in agreement with the part she said: "Yes, it is to kill the living, and there are many ways to kill them, with knives, arrows, etc., but if you use poisoned wine. ”
"Oh, I see, you mean that these martyrs were poisoned and then moved into this chamber for burial." Shangguan Yaxiong nodded understandingly.
"Only this one is plausible and can prove that their bones are partly black and partly not." I replied by staring at the bones.
"What you mean is that these bones have rotted like this naturally, and have nothing to do with the bloodthirsty golden beetle." Yang Gang, who had been listening to us on the sidelines, suddenly asked us.
"I don't know yet." I really didn't think about this, if these bones were also eaten by the bloodthirsty golden turtle, then the color of the bones was different from that of the Qi Palace, and the bones of the Qi Palace were definitely eaten by the bloodthirsty golden turtle.
"It is possible that there is a large amount of wine buried in this Han Palace, and the bloodthirsty golden turtle is afraid of alcohol, so he did not come here to eat carrion." Shangguan Yaxiong speculated.
I continued to shake my head, I really can't say clearly, and there is a question that is even more strange, why did the body of the martyr be placed in the palace of King Han, is this the martyr of the first emperor in the underground palace, so what do they have to do with this emperor?
Human martyrdom sacrifice, the person who is buried in human martyrdom generally has a special relationship with the tomb owner, and it is different from the sacrifice in human sacrifice, and it is okay to kill at will.
The martyrs of the emperor are generally people with special relationships such as concubines, people who are closely related to their lives before their deaths.
In this way, if there are dozens of concubines who are close to the First Emperor in this Han palace, then if there are many such bones in the other six palaces, then the entire harem will have to be killed.
Besides, how could the concubine of the First Emperor move directly into the palace so hastily, and then simply put it in the second room, without even preparing a coffin.
