I wish you two lifetimes

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

"There is only one wooden coffin, which is made of huanghuali wood, and it has not rotted for more than 1000 years." It is indeed a bit unusual for someone who can make a coffin out of huanghuali wood. When it was discovered, everyone was very surprised.

Huanghuali wood? The furniture in her own home is also made of huanghuali. The wood of huanghuali is excellent, and it is natural that it will not decay after a thousand years.

But the question is, who would use a huanghuali tomb to make a coffin?
Huanghuali wood only became popular in the royal family during the Ming Dynasty, let alone the Southern Dynasty.

In her impression, only Emperor Song's bedchamber had a bed made of huanghuali wood in the palace, and it was dedicated to Emperor Song by members of the Wang family in the early years, and there was no huanghuali wood in other places.

She promised repeatedly from Emperor Song that she would not sneak out to play, so she got a piece of huanghuali wood, and she used it to make a string of Buddhist beads.

Wait, Mrs. Wang? Isn't that in the Yan family?
Gu Yanran turned his head and glanced at Wen Yanzhi. This huanghuali tree was probably related to the Wang family. Although the Wang family was no longer in its heyday at that time, the family was still very prosperous. Many members of the Wang family were engaged in business. She knew Yanzhi's cousin is a wood dealer, and they are all high-quality wood. Huanghuali wood is rare. Once found, it will be presented to the emperor immediately. The wood for that bed was searched several times before it was enough. .

Gu Yanran was agitated. There were too many things she didn't know, which made her feel very uneasy. She always felt that things were not as simple as the historical records.

Take Liu Yu as an example, her eleventh emperor's uncle really did nothing. After her emperor brother Liu Ziye succeeded to the throne, because of fear of several emperor's uncles, Liu Ziye killed and imprisoned them.

But why did so many things happen suddenly after her death? Eleven Emperor Uncle Liu Yu escaped and killed Liu Chuyu and Liu Ziye together.

If it was said that no one was behind the scenes, she didn't believe it at all. She knew Liu Yu didn't have this ability.

Her brothers and uncles wished that they could ascend to the throne, and it was impossible for them to help Liu Xie win the throne willingly and let him secure the 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 Southern and Northern Dynasties, the Wang and Xie families have been the most prominent family for a hundred years. At one time, they had power in the government and the public, and their achievements were outstanding, shining in the annals of history.

Although it began to decline since the Southern Dynasties, as the saying goes, a lean 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, as his wife, made her queen, and gave birth to the eldest son.After that, the two also married her and Wang Ying.

Wang Ying is Yanzhi's name, whose name is Fengguang.

Back then, she had been looking for him for a long time because of the name "Yanzhi"... It turned out that this was not his name at all.

Wen Yanzhi looked at Gu Yanran who was staring blankly at the scene without any reaction. He knew she was lost in his own thoughts again, so he didn't make a sound to disturb her.

"It's a little strange, isn't it?" Gu Yanran, who had been silent all this time, spoke suddenly.

"You mean the tomb or the owner of the tomb?" Wen Yanzhi put his hands in his coat pockets and looked down at her.

His eyes rested on her hair, Gu Yanran's hair was of good quality, not very dark, with some malnourished maroon, it looked very soft, and made him want to touch it.

However, his self-control is still good.

"All of them." Gu Yanran turned his head, "It is extremely luxurious to be able to use huanghuali wood as a coffin, let alone more than 1000 years ago. And there is only one coffin in the tomb, and it is everywhere. Weird." Gu Yanran couldn't tell why, "Have you seen all the unearthed cultural relics?"

"Not yet." He shook his head, "I just came yesterday and have been dealing with the matter of Tomb No. [-], so I arrived one step earlier than you today."

Tomb No. [-] is what she thought was the tomb of Liu Chuyu.

"I heard that Group C is not going to dig?" She knew that what she heard just now was just gossip, so it's better to ask the person concerned to make it clear.

"The manpower and material resources consumed in the early stage are too great, and it is equivalent to being in vain." With 31 empty tombs opened, can they not feel distressed?

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

"Then what about the last tomb?" What she wanted to know most was the chamber under the sarcophagus.

"I can't open it. The material of that piece is different from that of the stone gates of the 31 tombs. It should not be built in the same batch." He felt that the tomb was very unusual. People can't argue.

He was a little irritable, and his other hand went into the other pocket.

Inside was a pack of cigarettes, he picked it up subconsciously, before leaving his pocket, she thought of Gu Yanran next to her, and silently put it back.

"I've always wanted to ask you, how did you know there was a tomb there?" She didn't ask because the timing wasn't right before.

Gu Yanran felt that if he had asked him before, he would have laughed it off, or he would have dismissed her with the word "intuition".

It has to be said that she still understands him quite well sometimes.

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

"The water at that position will seep down, 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 any embarrassment, as if he had done it countless times before, so natural that Gu Yanran himself didn't notice anything wrong.

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

"You still bring water with you?" When she went down to the tomb, she saw some bottles in Wen Yanzhi's hands, but she didn't expect it was just water?
"I brought it on purpose. I read it in a book a long time ago. It's very useful." Wen Yanzhi felt that Gu Yanran had a lot of problems today, but he didn't object. After all, it showed that she was slowly accepting him. ?
After getting in touch with her, he also knew that she was a bit cold-tempered, and she would not give a face to someone who was unwilling to approach her, let alone a word.

"What book?" Gu Yanran was curious.

"A tomb robbery novel." Wen Yanzhi answered her, his tone didn't sound 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 that, "You also believe this?"

"In fact, if you think about it carefully, they are illegal tomb robbers, and we are legal tomb robbers. There is no difference in essence, and their experience is much richer than ours, and sometimes they can indeed learn from it." Archaeologists are all theoretical. In practice, compared with tomb robbers, they can only try not to destroy cultural relics as much as possible. To be honest, they are really inferior to them in other aspects.

Gu Yanran found that Wen Yanzhi's bluffing words really made her feel...a bit reasonable.

"Then do you know how the corpse has been preserved for thousands of years?" Today she was about to throw out the question all at once, and it was very uncomfortable for her to hide it in her heart, "There is no mercury in it."

Wen Yanzhi looked at her being led by him, looking very well-behaved, and felt very happy.

He thought her eagerness to learn was very cute and attractive. He didn't like to explain to others, but in front of her, he seemed to think there was nothing wrong with it.

If he can keep holding her like this, he can answer any number of questions for her.

"There's mercury in it." He was not surprised to see her surprised expression as soon as he said this.

She looked at him, waiting for his answer.

"There is a jade board under the corpse. There are holes in the jade board. There are organs under the board. When the coffin is opened, the jade board will lift the corpse up. The corpse was soaked in mercury, but now it is separated." Wen Yan The explanation was very detailed. Seeing that Gu Yanran was listening extremely seriously, his tone slowed down a lot.

"This mechanism should be considered advanced at that time." Although it sounds like Gu Yanran thought it was nothing at the time, it was indeed considered advanced at that time.

"Well, I can think of such a method to preserve the corpse. It can be seen that the owner of the tomb should be an extremely important person to be buried." This mechanism was discovered by Wen Yanzhi later. Although it is a precision mechanism now, but put together 500 years ago, it is considered one of the best.

An extremely important person? Liu Ziye is probably the only one who will hold Liu Chuyu in his heart.

"But why is it designed so that the corpse is separated from the mercury after the coffin is opened? Isn't it good to keep soaking?" Gu Yanran couldn't figure this out.

Wen Yanzhi also thought about this question. He had several 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 by, and his words slowly drifted into her ears, Gu Yanran couldn't help but shudder, listening to him, why was it a little creepy.

"What about the corpse?" After all, it was her sister's corpse. Although she resented Liu Chuyu, after so many years, those things were considered history, and she didn't need to worry about them anymore.

Now that Liu Chuyu is gone, she is living a good life, so what is there to be dissatisfied with?

"Take it out and put it in a glass coffin, and inject the mercury from her own sarcophagus." After so many years, the composition of the mercury liquid has already changed, and I haven't started real research yet. It's not good to change the embalming liquid rashly, I'm afraid What will happen to the body.

Gu Yanran naturally understood and didn't ask why.

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

"I touched that 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 he knows it's urgent? He was very courageous at the time, "It's okay, this jade does not touch mercury. When you were in the hospital, I asked the hospital to do an examination for you. There was basically no mercury inhalation."

"Why don't I know?" She had no impression at all, when did the doctor examine her?
