Even during the Western Han Dynasty, there were small countries in the Western Regions that paid tribute to the Han Dynasty with "Huo Huan Bu".

However, Huo Huanbu, who paid tribute that time, soon disappeared, so much so that in the early Wei and Jin Dynasties, Cao Pi publicly stated in his "Dian Lun" that Huo Huanbu did not exist at all, and was just the product of rumors spread by some people.

.

As far as Wu Liang knows, this thing does exist, and has become an extremely common industrial material in later generations.

Its scientific name is "asbestos cloth".

Asbestos cloth is made of a natural mineral fiber called asbestos fiber. It is not only non-flammable and can remove dirt on the cloth by burning it, but it is also anti-corrosion, acid-resistant, and alkali-resistant.

These characteristics made asbestos cloth extremely widely used in later generations.

But as mentioned in "The Classic of Mountains and Seas", it is extremely rare to wear it as daily clothing.

At most, it can only be made into fire-fighting clothing that will be used under specific circumstances, and asbestos cloth cannot be used purely, and a series of special processes are required.

Simply because asbestos fibers themselves are harmful to the body.

During the mining, production and manufacturing process, it will produce a lot of dust, which can easily cause skin cancer and lung cancer.

In addition, asbestos fiber itself is slender, brittle and hard, and is a fiber that is very easy to break. Even after treatment, this characteristic cannot be changed. Human skin is also very fragile. If you wear clothes made of asbestos fiber,

There will be many tiny fibers piercing the skin and breaking off and staying inside...

When Wu Liang was a child, he had the tragic experience of mischievously using "asbestos tiles" as toys.

He didn't feel anything wrong when he was playing at the time, but after returning home, when the skin all over his body that had been in contact with "asbestos tiles" felt painful, itchy, or even swollen, he realized that he was wrong. The sour feeling...don't mention it.

Whatever.

"Huohuanbu" is the term "asbestos cloth".

In fact, it is not Wu Liang's own inference, but has been verified by many generations from ancient times to the present.

As early as the Yuan Dynasty, China already had a very high technical level in the mining of asbestos fibers, the weaving and cleaning of asbestos cloth.

And the origin of "Fire Huanbu" was also mentioned in the foreign "Marco Polo's Travels".

It is said that it is on the edge of the desert in the Western Region, between the northwest and the north, covering an area of ​​16 days' journey. There are many prosperous towns and villages in this place. There is a mountain to the north of these towns and villages, and the mountain contains a kind of magic.

A magical mineral vein. The locals use this mineral to refine the "fire rat". This "fire rat" is what the locals call it. It is not an animal as we think, but is mined from the ground.

a thing.

Case solved!

This may be the origin of the saying about the "fire rat" in "Huo Huanbu" in "The Classic of Mountains and Seas".

Although there are indeed elements of spreading rumors, it is undeniable that Huohuan cloth is real. It is woven from mineral fibers, which is the "asbestos cloth" that is common in our later generations.

Now think about it.

After all, Haihun Hou Liu He was the emperor for 27 days, so it was completely reasonable for him to be able to take the "Huohuanbu" that the small countries in the Western Regions paid tribute to the Han Dynasty as his own.

Is this why "Huo Huanbu" disappeared in the Celestial Dynasty for hundreds of years?

So much so that the future Emperor Wen of Wei, Cao Pi, believed that "Huo Huan Bu" did not exist at all and was just a product of rumors passed down?

"Emmm... take it."

Thinking of this, Wu Liang immediately decided to take away the "Huo Huan Bu" for emergencies.

It is definitely impossible to use it to make clothes for daily wear. It would be tantamount to punishing oneself, and he has no M tendency.

However, when you rob tombs in the future, you will inevitably encounter some extreme environments, especially when encountering fire. You can temporarily put a fire coat on your body to resist it.

Alternatively, you can also use fireproof materials to make some practical gadgets for yourself and the army.

As for Haihun Hou Liu He, he and the entire Haihun Hou Tomb will soon be in close contact with water, so there is no need for this kind of fireproof material, so there is no need to leave it for him.

Mainly because of Wu Liang's ability, although he knew very well how to make "Huo Huanbu" and the technology at this time could be realized, but without finding the mineral vein, it was difficult for a clever woman to make a plan without rice.

Anyway, it’s impossible to do it in a short time...

…

After packing up the ancient books and fire cloth, he ordered people to cover the coffin of Haihun Hou Liu He again.

He also asked Dian Wei and Yang Wanli to continue to supervise the transportation of gold. Wu Liang took the lead in returning to the camp on the mountain. Except for backfilling the tomb of Haihun Hou after the transportation was completed, and setting up some small anti-theft measures according to the actual situation, there was basically nothing here.

What happened to him?

This time I came all the way to excavate the tomb of Marquis Haihun, and the profit was quite considerable.

Not to mention the batch of gold and insect wax, what was more valuable to him was the "History of Qi" and "The Analects of Confucius: Zhizhi Chapter" that have been completely lost to later generations.

There are also three-legged turtles, lost-soul incense, soul-returning incense, and fire-huanbu...

Oh, by the way, there is also the "demon" Yu Ji.

Although this guy is not good at anything else, his art of Kanyu is still a bit mysterious.

Even the occurrence of the "soul-sucking incident in Linghu Lake" made Wu Liang somewhat doubtful that it was indeed somewhat related to the "Eight Evils of the Yellow Spring" mentioned by Yu Ji.

After all, "Linghu Soul Absorbing" appeared sooner or later, but it happened to appear after he opened the coffin of Liu He, Marquis of Haihun.

It's such a coincidence that one can't stop thinking about it.

Furthermore, "Linghu Soul Absorbing Soul" and "Basha Yellow Spring" are both wonderful products of nature. When these two wonderful products of nature are put together, some inexplicable connections seem to be somewhat reasonable.

Oh yes, there is more!

Another gain is that he once again played second base for Bai Jingjing.

Emmm…

The distance between third base and home run seems to be getting closer and closer.

Talk about it.

It seems that something weird has been mixed in when calculating the income...

one way or another.

The biggest gain this time is still the "History of Qi" that has been lost to later generations. Its discovery will not only allow Wu Liang to have a more comprehensive understanding of the history of Qi before the Qin Dynasty burned books and enslaved Confucians, but may also find more needs for himself.

The "protected" mausoleum!

It's a pity that the current environment is too messy to organize ancient books, otherwise Wu Liang would start reading now.

"I really can't understand this scoundrel anymore and more..."

Bai Jingjing, who was sitting not far away and always pretended to accidentally glance at Wu Liang with her peripheral vision, couldn't help but curse in her heart.

Many of Wu Liang's behaviors were somewhat contradictory in her eyes.

A mercenary tomb robber had no reaction when he entered the tomb and saw the precious jades and large amounts of gold. Instead, he often expressed surprise at the strange things.

Look at him right now, he's been rubbing his hands around the pile of worthless broken bamboo slips, looking like he's almost drooling.

Please, you are a tomb robber. Can you respect your profession and identity a little bit, and at least stop acting like you treat gold and jade like dirt?

besides.

He is obviously a cunning and shameless scoundrel, but knowing full well the hidden dangers, he leaves all his soldiers in the safest place and takes the lead himself.

Shouldn't a cunning and shameless person hide behind, risk his life and ask others to come forward, and then jump out when the time comes to receive the merit?

the most important is.

At this moment, Bai Jingjing didn't understand who Wu Liang thought of herself.

She has heard everything that happened after she passed out...

Such a scoundrel who always took pleasure in humiliating himself seemed to have changed into a different person when he passed out. Not only did he almost go crazy and scare the soldiers to the point where they dared not speak out, he also resolutely took the risk to return to danger to save himself.

But when he finally woke up, this guy instantly turned into a complete scoundrel again, and continued to find ways to take advantage of him...

Think of these.

Bai Jingjing raised her hand unconsciously and gently touched her pink lips with her jade fingers.

It still feels a little hot here, and I don't know what kind of magical power this guy used when he saved himself.

"Scoundrel!"

Bai Jingjing snorted and turned away, simply not looking at Wu Liang anymore, but she was still thinking about what kind of... scoundrel Wu Liang was!

…

A few hours later.

All the gold in Haihunhou's tomb has been moved up the mountain.

Wu Liang went down the mountain again and personally directed the soldiers to carry out the backfilling work of the mausoleum. By the way, he also ordered people to dig a deep ditch between the mausoleum and Linghu Lake.

He planned to flood the tomb of Marquis Haihun.

It was precisely because the tomb of Haihunhou in later generations was completely submerged by water that many cultural relics were well preserved and many thieves were prevented from robbing the tomb.

So now, Wu Liang plans to flood the tomb of Marquis Haihun in advance.

As the saying goes, people who rely on mountains to eat rely on water to eat water. The tomb of Haihunhou is so close to Linghu Lake, so it can make full use of the water in Linghu Lake.
To be continued...
