But regardless of whether this orb was the legendary Suihou Pearl, Wu Liang had already developed a huge interest in it.

Since he decided to conduct archaeological research in this era, he would have to frequently enter and exit the tomb chamber where he could not see his fingers. Lighting was a difficult problem that must be overcome.

Although you can use torches, oil lamps, and even candles worth thousands of dollars for lighting in this era, the stability and illumination range of these lighting equipment are very limited. Sometimes in special environments, you may accidentally cause a fire. In this case, this star

Orbs that can replace flashlights and cold fire rods become particularly critical.

"Brother Dianwei, please help me take out the orb from Zhulong's mouth. I want this thing."

Thinking this, Wu Liang immediately smiled at Dian Wei.

This candle dragon is hung on the dome. The distance between the orb and the ground is nearly three meters, which is equivalent to the height of a basketball hoop. Wu Liang's current body height is only about 1.8 meters, even if he straightens his arms and jumps up.

It's just enough but barely enough.

But Dian Wei is nearly two meters tall and is a famous general with amazing strength, so it shouldn't be difficult.

"Easy to say."

Hearing this, Dianwei nodded, turned around, jumped up, reached out and gently fished out the orb from Zhulong's mouth, and held it in front of Wu Liang with both hands.

"As expected of brother Dianwei, with great skills."

Wu Liang praised him and reached out to take the orb.

This orb is as warm and smooth as jade, and feels quite good in the hand. It seems that the material should be a very special kind of fluorite. As for whether it has other characteristics besides lighting, it remains to be investigated in the future.

But for the time being, he didn't plan to wrap the orb because it still needed to be used for lighting in the tomb.

With the orb in his hand like this, Wu Liang continued to examine other furnishings in the inner room.

This inner chamber is not so much a tomb chamber as it is a royal residence built to the same proportions.

Indoor beds, dining tables, bookcases, storage cabinets, and screens are all available. They are all furniture used in normal daily life, and the production craftsmanship is very fine. Almost every piece of furniture is engraved with exquisite animal patterns and cloud patterns.

It's just that these furniture are all carved from relatively precious solid-colored stones in order to last for a long time.

This is probably the experience that Wang Liu of Guangchuan has summed up after robbing tombs many times. No matter how good the materials used in wooden furniture are, they will eventually decay one day, but stone materials can be preserved forever.

Just like the "Tomb Robbery Notes" that Wu Liang planned to write, he also planned to use stone tablets to engrave them in order to preserve them for future generations. Is this what "heroes" think the same way?

On or inside these pieces of furniture, there are some relatively daily utensils placed on them. The materials are either gold, jade, or bronze. They are all rare and precious cultural relics for future generations.

On the large desk, Wu Liang also saw a jade article recorded in historical documents:

It was a jade toad the size of a fist, with a smooth, smooth and hollow abdomen, with some dried ink stains still inside. It was said that it was the burial object of Duke Ling of Jin.

When Liu Qu robbed Jinling Cemetery, almost all the burial objects in the tomb were rotten and beyond recognition. Only the jade toad was brand new and bright, so Liu Qu took it and made it into a tool for storing water and grinding ink.

Unexpectedly, after Liu Qu died, he also took it into his tomb.

However, Wu Liang picked up the jade toad and observed it carefully for a long time, but he didn't see anything special. He probably just kept it as a trophy, otherwise how could he use it to store water and grind ink?

Look carefully at the furniture and appliances.

Except for asking Dian Wei to collect some relatively heavy gold items, he didn't find anything particularly worth buying.

Finally, Wu Liang finally turned his attention to the bed behind another small screen painted with cloud patterns.

It was a four-legged flat bed with corner teeth that had just begun to appear in the Han Dynasty. The four corners of the bed were decorated with teeth, and on the left and right sides of the bed sat two equally naked women.

However, unlike those young women in the outer room, these women are very plump, and their height and body are not inferior to those of men. At first glance, it is estimated that they must have weighed at least 200 kilograms during their lifetime...

Even without looking at the murals this time, Wu Liang could roughly guess their uses based on the physical characteristics of the four women.

When the weather is cold, they will surround their master and use their bodies to protect him from the cold, euphemistically called the "meat screen".

In a bed surrounded by four "meat screens".

Wu Liang finally saw a set of gold-lined jade clothes lying flat.

This should be the real body of King Liu Qu of Guangchuan. Probably because after death he still wanted to live a happy life, or because he was unwilling to accept the fact that he was dead, he did not use a coffin or a yellow intestine to put it together.

, only using jade clothes that can "preserve the body's immortality".

However, this corpse obviously cannot be verified like the tanned corpse above.

Because he had completely turned into withered bones, the golden jade garment had collapsed, leaving only some yellowish-brown traces of decay on the jade pieces and the bed near the jade garment...

As for the mouthpiece, eyelids, nose plugs, organ cover boxes and gang door plugs that were placed on the corpse.

Wu Liang had no interest at all, so he had no intention of taking apart the jade garment and checking it out.

"It seems that's all we have, prepare to evacuate... just wait a moment!"

Wu Liang himself explored the area around Jinlu Jade Clothes, but found nothing worthy of action, and finally decided to stop there.

At this time, a white pebble with a shape and size similar to soap at the head of the bed attracted his attention.

This is a very inconspicuous oval pebble, but it is precisely because it is so inconspicuous that it is even more strange to place it in such a place that is almost close to Liu Qu.

Wu Liang carefully took the pebble in his hand, and then he discovered that there was an inscription on the back of it - "Yin Yang Stone".

"Could this be the kind of magical stone recorded in "Shui Jing Zhu"?"

Wu Liang was stunned.

"Shui Jing Zhu" records that the Yin Yang Stone is a strange stone that can predict the weather. It usually looks like an ordinary white stone. If it rains one day, the stone will turn darker in advance, making it darker than later generations.

The weather forecast is even more accurate.

Later scientific research institutions have also confirmed the authenticity of Yin Yang Stone.

It is speculated that the main component of this stone should be calcium carbonate, but it also contains some other unknown and strange ingredients. On sunny days when the air humidity is low, this strange stone will appear white, and on rainy days when the air humidity is high, this strange stone will appear white.

It turns dark because it absorbs moisture from the air.

"If it is really the Yin-Yang Stone, it is a very practical thing. Take it."

Although there is currently no way to verify the authenticity of this "Yin Yang Stone", this does not prevent Wu Liang from taking it to study slowly, so he hid it in Dian Wei's arms.

To avoid being discovered by Bai Jingjing when I go out later...

…

This time I was really able to leave, and the trip went extremely smoothly.

A mysterious orb for lighting and a yin-yang stone that can predict the weather are all artifacts for future archaeological research. Wu Liang expressed great satisfaction with such harvests.

But when he and Dian Wei walked out of the inner room contentedly, they immediately encountered a surprising situation!

"Huh? Where's the white jingjing man?"

Wu Liang was stunned.

Outside the inner room, Bai Jingjing, who originally fell on the ground, had disappeared, leaving only a pile of shriveled clothes that still maintained the human form!

It's like it evaporated on the spot!

"Could it be that you went out early after waking up?"

Dian Wei asked subconsciously.

"Impossible, all the obscene clothes are here, why should I go out and run naked?"

Wu Liang picked up a small red bellyband that still had body temperature from his clothes and said with certainty, "What's more, we are still here. She wants to stay and supervise me. There is no reason to leave on her own."

"How is that..."

Dian Wei looked confused and didn't know how to explain it.

"Hard to say."

Wu Liang was the same. He looked around the empty tomb, frowned and said: "If I don't take her out with him, the tombkeeper will definitely not let it go. A bloody battle is inevitable, but there is only such a small place here, how can she..."

Where to go?”

As he spoke, Wu Liang suddenly felt some regret. He regretted that he should not have left Bai Jingjing outside alone just now, and even regretted that he should not have untied Bai Jingjing before coming in for the second time.
