Chapter 463 Unknown Visitor(4000)

The ice created by Fang Qiong turned out very quickly and disappeared very quickly.

In just one night, the ice sheet had disappeared, leaving only a slightly humid desert and the slightly muddy yellow soil in the Tomb of the Sun.

It was not an easy night.

Ice and snow will absorb heat when they melt. In addition, the temperature difference between day and night in the desert is not small, so that the temperature this night is even colder than when the ice sheet existed. In the early morning, the humid desert and loess soil actually froze hard.

It was not until dawn that the sun rose, gradually dispelling the biting chill. The desert and yellow land gradually began to thaw, and then a layer of mist-like water vapor rose, just like a fairyland.

However, Wu Liang and others had tents to protect them from the wind and cold, and they lit several bonfires around the tents to keep warm. Although it was difficult, they got through it safely.

After dawn.

Under Wu Liang's instructions, everyone gathered all Fang Qiong's corpses together, piled them into a pile, poured kerosene on them, burned them to ashes, and buried the ashes in the sand.

This move was naturally done to avoid future troubles;

Secondly, it can be regarded as respecting the funeral tradition of the Qiang people. Fang Qiong once said that she is a Qiang person.

"Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals" contains: "For the captives of the Di and Qiang, we are not worried that their ties will be burdened, but that they will not be burned until they die."

Not afraid of death but afraid of not being cremated. This is the most persistent funeral custom of the Qiang people in this era. Now that she is dead, the grievances between Wu Liang and others will naturally disappear. Wu Liang will naturally not embarrass her corpse.

.

certainly.

Before cremation, Wu Liang conducted a detailed inspection of the corpses.

Especially Fang Qiong's last "resurrection body", which is Fang Qiong who has been controlled by Chen Liu since his time. This "resurrection body" is not obviously different from a normal person. If you pinch your neck, you will die.

After death, the body will also become incontinent. After death, the body will gradually become soft and then stiff, and corpse spots will gradually appear...

Wu Liang did not conduct an autopsy or further autopsy.

Because he really does not have relevant knowledge in this area, even if he cuts the corpse open, he can only see a pile of internal organs. He can probably tell what is the heart, what is the liver, what is the lungs, and what is based on the shape and position.

Intestines...and then nothing more.

In this era, Wu Liang did not dare to expect anyone to be able to analyze the situation through dissection like the forensic doctors of later generations.

Even if there is such a doctor who is skilled in surgery, such as Hua Tuo, who is known as the "Surgical Master", he doesn't know when he will see Hua Tuo, and he is not sure whether he can hire Hua Tuo to handle this matter, let alone

This place is thousands of miles away from the Central Plains. Coupled with the current traffic conditions, even the embalming methods of later generations may not be able to bring this corpse back intact...

After completing the preparations mentioned earlier and environmental conditions permitting, Wu Liang and others finally carefully placed the male corpse back into the wooden coffin.

Then wait quietly.

moment.

Two moments.

One hour.

Two hours.

Unconsciously, most of the day passed by, and the humid desert and loess soil had been dried by the sun.

The "resurrection body" of the male corpse that Wu Liang and others were waiting for still did not appear as expected, and there was no movement at all on the sand dunes around the Tomb of the Sun.

"This... Young Master, why hasn't there been any movement for so long?"

Rubbing his dry old eyes, Yu Ji asked anxiously.

"Wait three days."

Wu Liang did not directly answer Yu Ji's question, but said thoughtfully, "The supplies we carry on this trip are limited. If we can't wait for the resurrected body of this male corpse after three days, we will have to set off back to Shanni first."

We need to supply the city and then make other plans.”

When entering this desert, Wu Liang would use a compass to determine the direction of travel every time he walked, and made detailed records.

Therefore, it should not be a big problem to return to Jianni City along the original route.

What Wu Liang is most worried about is that the city they return to is probably not the city in the real world. That means they may still be trapped in this strange world after going around in circles. If so, then what will happen to them?

For people in the real world, there is actually no difference from being dead.

And now that Fang Qiong is dead, it is naturally impossible to get any information from her.

But Wu Liang did not regret killing her.

Because even if Fang Qiong is still alive, Wu Liang cannot easily believe a word he hears from her mouth. This woman is extremely vicious and only wants to kill them, and her methods are extremely cruel. God knows what is going on in her heart.

What's the idea? To believe her is to be irresponsible to yourself and the rest of the Hu army.

Now Wu Liang only believes in one thing: since Fang Qiong was able to continuously walk out of this strange world before, it means that there is an exit to this strange world, and Fang Qiong can find it, so they should be able to find it with some effort.

Opportunities can only be found.

in addition.

In view of the fact that Prince Chamu had told him before and that many residents in Janni City knew about the caravan.

Wu Liang has reason to believe that the exit from this strange world should not be the exclusive passage for the "resurrection body".

As long as it is not the exclusive passage of the "resurrection body", then there is no need to "sacrifice" someone to become a "resurrection body" in order to escape from this strange world.

The only regret is.

If the "resurrection body" of this male corpse does not appear in the end, then even if they leave this strange world smoothly, they will leave with many questions and regrets. This is the most depressing thing for Wu Liang.

"I'm afraid that's all we can do..."

Yu Ji looked around unwillingly, finally nodded, and then asked, "But Master, what if we are still in this strange world after returning to Jani City?"

"I don't have a clue now. Let's talk about it later."

Wu Liang said truthfully.

"If we are really trapped here and can't get out, Master, can you consider the decision I made before and bury the old man in this wooden coffin? Maybe when the old man becomes a person like that witch, we can

I can learn the secrets of this strange world, and I can also point out the way for you to leave this place."

Yu Ji once again petitioned quite sincerely. It can be seen that if Wu Conscience did not still have many doubts and refused to comply, the boy would have been willing to lie down in the wooden coffin and become a guinea pig.

No one is more persistent and crazy about this matter than him.

"Old sir, do you know why I stopped you?"

Wu Liang's expression also became serious, and he looked into Yu Ji's eyes and asked.

"I naturally know that the young master is a cautious person and a person who values ​​affection and justice. Therefore, I don't want me to take risks before I understand the mystery and consequences of the Sun Tomb."

Yu Ji said seriously.

"This is just one of them. Old sir, please come with me."

Wu Liang directly brought Yu Ji to the wooden coffin, pointed to a very fresh crack on the side of the coffin and said, "Old sir, please see, this is a crack that only appeared last night. This wooden coffin has reached the end of its life."

In this situation, it is possible that at any time the wooden coffins in other sun tombs will turn into rotten wood slag. What I am worried about is that the next lifespan of this wooden coffin may not be as long as the old man’s next yang life, and this wooden coffin

What will happen after the wooden coffin is damaged is even more unknown.”

"..."

Yu Ji suddenly lost his voice.

If a living person lay down in a coffin, he would sacrifice his life like Fang Qiong, and the lifespan of this wooden coffin is not as long as his subsequent human lifespan. It would be okay to expose the corpse to the wilderness. If the wooden coffin is destroyed, the "resurrection body"

It will also be destroyed, which is undoubtedly a loss that outweighs the gain for anyone.

However, there is another detail that contradicts this speculation, which Wu Liang did not mention to Ji.

To this day he still remembers very clearly:

The first thing Fang Qiong did after waking up was to "encourage" them to destroy the wooden coffin.

It seems that destroying the wooden coffin would be beneficial to her "resurrection body"... This is indeed a question worth discussing. Fang Qiong must have her reasons for doing this.

…

Three days later.

Wu Liang and others took turns on duty, and the "stone statues" cooperated, but they never found the "resurrection body" of the male corpse.

In the end, although there were still many reluctances and doubts in their hearts, due to the pressure of supplies, Wu Liang and others were forced to close their tents and evacuate to Jani City.

The journey away went very smoothly. Only two days later, they arrived at the edge of the camel grave.

The city of Ganni is right in front of you.

But at the city gate, there were no merchants entering or leaving the city gate or guards standing guard.

"..."

The hearts of everyone in the Hu army sank. This was enough to show that they had not yet left this strange world, and the mud city in front of them was not the mud city in the real world.

"I'm tired. Let's go to the city, replenish supplies, rest peacefully for a day, and then think about the next thing after waking up."

Wu Liang ordered with a calm expression.
To be continued...
