Chapter 78 Wu Lu’s Grave

Wu Zhongyuan agreed with Wang Xinran's suggestion, but he could not foresee what kind of problems he might encounter later because he did not know what these warriors did after they appeared in various eras, nor did he know where they were buried after their death. , let alone what twists and turns they may encounter in the process of searching for these warriors.

After waiting for a moment, when Wu Zhongyuan didn't speak, Wang Xinran said, "Forget it, you don't have to worry about it, I'll handle it."

"Don't have too many people." Wu Zhongyuan said.

"Yes." Wang Xinran responded.

During the flight, Wang Xinran had been busy communicating and receiving various clues from the headquarters. These clues included the funeral system of the Yuan Dynasty, the number of soldiers Wu Lu commanded at that time, the cause of Wu Lu's death, and the possible burial place of Wu Lu, etc.

Most of the funerals in the Yuan Dynasty were sparsely buried. This was because the Mongols were in power in the Yuan Dynasty. They did not have the Han people's concept of death as life. In their view, death was like a lamp going out, so they rarely built large mausoleums for the deceased, and the funerary objects in the tombs were also very small. There are very few tombs and few monuments are erected. To put it bluntly, they bury their deceased mostly without grave heads and rarely erect tombstones in front of the graves. The direct consequence of this funeral feature is that their graves are difficult to be buried. people found.

The sources of clues are very broad, and the clues themselves are not specific. Many clues are obtained indirectly. Take Wu Lu's death as an example. Most historians looking for clues believe that he was killed by cannons. The reason for this conclusion This conclusion is because Tubo had previously surrendered to the Yuan Dynasty. In order to help Tubo deal with other tribes that had not surrendered, the Yuan Dynasty had supported them with five cast-iron cannons.

In other historical events, Tubo had records of using cannons to defend the city. After the Tubo rebelled and occupied Jiezhou, Wu Lu was the one who led the troops to attack the city.

Not only that, but also Wu Lu’s personal situation must be taken into account. At that time, General Qian Yunzhi of Guangwei once wrote a letter to plead for Wu Lu. The content of this memorial was found by historians. It contained Qian Yunzhi’s praise of Wu Lu. According to Qian Yunzhi's evaluation, Wu Lu must take the lead in every battle, charge forward, and be invincible to those who block him. He can brave the rain of arrows and charge into the enemy's formation without being hurt by the arrows.

From this, historians judged that Wu Lu moved very fast, and other than artillery with a large attack range, it was difficult for ordinary weapons to hurt him.

The conclusion drawn in this way is not rigorous, but Wu Lu was not a very famous person about what happened more than seven hundred years ago. There are not many records about him in history. It is impossible to be rigorous, even if It's a loose clue, and it's not easy to get.

In addition, officials of different levels in the Yuan Dynasty enjoyed different funeral regulations. Wu Lu was a fourth-grade military attache when he died in battle. Military attaches of this level were basically buried wherever they died. According to the location of the war, historical Scientists have deduced the general area where Wu Lu may have been buried, and even the size of the tomb and the depth of burial.

Two hours later, the plane landed, the two changed into cars and rushed to the suspected location.

Jiezhou at that time was now Wudu. The suspected location was located on a hill five miles southeast of Wudu City. The reason for making such a judgment was the result of the joint efforts of historians and archaeologists. First of all, they inferred that After finding out the march route that Wu Lu used to lead the troops to suppress the rebellion, it can be deduced that Wu Lu attacked the east gate of Jiezhou City.

On the hill three miles to the southeast, a large number of bones were unearthed. These bones were unearthed neatly. The armor unearthed with the bones showed that they were soldiers of the Yuan army who were buried here by their comrades after they died in battle. If They were buried by the enemy and would not be piled up so neatly.

During the Yuan Dynasty,

Only one large-scale battle occurred here, so historians believe that since this is where the bodies of Yuan soldiers were buried, Wu Lu was most likely buried here.

This hill is now a wasteland. When the two arrived, there were already many people busy there. These people were not soldiers or policemen, but a group of exploration technicians. They were currently working on a 500-meter-diameter There are poles and wires inserted everywhere in the area. The poles are metal poles and the wires are metal wires. After a brief conversation with the person in charge who came up, I learned that this is a large-scale metal detection equipment that can sense objects within ten meters underground. Various metallic elements.

What they are looking for is a large piece of iron. The ax Wu Lu used during his lifetime was made of steel. Experts concluded that the ax he used should have been buried with it. This is what they are looking for now.

Different metals are sensed, and the sounds emitted by the metal detectors are also different. There seems to be a large amount of steel-like metals in this area. Even if the instruments used are very advanced, it is difficult to analyze which place is the suspected location in a short time.

While the technicians were busy, several more explorers arrived with instruments specifically designed to search for underground water sources.

Wu Zhongyuan didn't know why these people came. After asking Wang Xinran, he suddenly realized that Wu Lu was addicted to alcohol and would drink a lot during war. In addition, although Wu Lu died in the battle of Jiezhou, the battle ended with the victory of the Yuan army. Wu Lu did not deduct the salary of his subordinates like other generals. In addition, he took the lead in the battle, so his subordinates should They all respected him. After capturing Jiezhou, they had reasons and conditions to bury Wu Lu with a lot of wine.

The group of technicians who came later were actually not looking for water, but for wine.

Three meters underground, where there are steel-like metals and liquids, it may be the location of Wu Lu's tomb.

Soon, technicians located a suspected location in a bush on the mountainside.

Pushing aside the bushes, Wu Zhongyuan and Wang Xinran looked at each other. There was a round hole with a diameter of about five centimeters on the ground. The soil outside the round hole was still wet, and the round hole went straight into the ground.

"Why are they so fast?" Wu Zhongyuan was surprised. The experts and scholars on his side searched and deduced clues to the point of being horrified, but the other party still got ahead.

"Probably not much faster than us," Wang Xinran said, "They are using Luoyang shovels to determine the location of the tomb, and they haven't had time to dig yet."

"This is not a Luoyang shovel," Wu Zhongyuan shook his head. "The Luoyang shovel has a cover on the outside. It will leave indentations on the ground during exploration. There are no circular indentations around this hole."

Rather than making meaningless guesses, it is better to verify and confirm. With official support, you can get whatever you want. Soon the extended endoscopic probe was delivered. It penetrated down along the hole, extending down about three meters and blocked by gray bricks. .

The picture on the display screen made the two of them overjoyed. The round hole did not penetrate into the tomb chamber, and no matter what was in the tomb chamber, it was completely preserved.

The problem the two faced now was whether to dig up the tomb. After deliberation, Wang Xinran chose a compromise method, using equipment to drill through the brick wall to see what was inside.

In the evening, the drilling equipment drilled through the gray bricks. The gray bricks were thinner than the two expected, with only two layers and white ash in the middle. After drilling through the gray bricks, the situation in the tomb was revealed on the display screen.

The tomb chamber was well preserved, but very shabby. It was only one foot square, very small and short. There was no coffin in the tomb chamber. The bones were wrapped in leather and the like. There were many wine jars placed around the bones, on the left and right sides of the bones. Each has a large ax with a rotten handle, which is the best proof of the identity of the owner of the tomb.

It was not difficult to dig up this tomb, but Wang Xinran did not do that, because our country's attitude towards ancient tombs is rescue excavation. Although the matter is urgent, we must try to minimize the damage to the ancient tombs.

The extended camera has a remote control function and can be operated remotely to slowly peel off the severely decayed leather outside the bones, revealing the bones inside.

First of all, it is certain that this corpse is that of Wu Lu, but his death was not caused by a cannon, but by an arrow. There are obvious arrows left between the eyebrows of the corpse. hole.

There have been several bones with similar genetic mutations in the 18th Precinct. The main purpose of the two people's trip was to find the spirit stone belonging to Wu Lu, but after carefully looking around the bones and in the tomb, no spirit stone was found. The presence.

In the end, the two decided to dig up the grave because the wine jars were sealed and they could not determine what was inside.

After digging the tomb, the two opened the wine jars one by one and found that most of the wine jars were empty. The empty ones only had a little turbid black water left. They searched all corners of the tomb and found no spiritual stones. shadow.

Finding Wu Lu's tomb was a great deal of chance. To put it bluntly, it was all about luck. But now it seems that the two of them were not lucky enough. After finally finding the tomb, there was no spiritual stone in the tomb.

On the left side of the corpse, there are some beads the size of fingernails scattered. These beads are not white, but blue. Archaeologists are familiar with this kind of material. This is not Hetian jade, but lapis lazuli. It is A kind of jade from Afghanistan.

There were twelve lapis lazuli beads scattered around. Wang Xinran picked them up and looked at them one by one. When he saw the third bead, he handed the bead to Wu Zhongyuan, "There are words on it."

Wu Zhongyuan reached out to take it and saw a small word engraved on the bead, "Yun..."
