Chapter 434: Uncorrupted Female Corpse
Chapter 434: Uncorrupted Female Corpse
A month later, Chang Ningchen asked Dongfang He to change the time to 1972 and choose Mawangligedui as the location. At this time, the archaeologists' excavation work was almost completed and the female corpse was also discovered.
The Mawangli Han Tombs are the family burial site of Lilige Cang, Marquis of Wu, Prime Minister of Changsha during the early Western Han Dynasty. Of the three Han tombs, Tomb No. 2 is for Lilige Cang, Marquis of Wu, Prime Minister of Changsha during the early Han Dynasty; Tomb No. 1 is for Lilige Cang's wife, Xinli Dezhui; and Tomb No. 3 is for Lilige Cang's son.
In the early 70s, China was in a state of foreign invasion. In order to cope with the foreign situation, the country launched a nationwide campaign of "dig deep holes, store grain, and do not seek hegemony."
On July 7th of that year, a military hospital not far from Mawangligedui dug an air-raid shelter on two elevated earthen mounds. While the medical staff were drilling holes for detection, a sudden puff of cold air emerged from the hole. Someone poured water into the hole, but the water splashed back out.
This matter was also reported to the higher authorities and attracted the attention of archaeological experts. The experts ignited the gas at that time. The gas emitted a blue-green light when it burned and burned continuously for three days.
Later, the archaeological team discovered white plaster mud underneath and confirmed that there was indeed an ancient tomb underneath. Green leaves were also found in the white plaster mud, which shocked everyone present.
After cleaning the white mud layer and the charcoal layer, everyone found a large number of funerary objects in the tomb. They all looked very good, as if they had just been buried yesterday.
When one of the food boxes was opened, the lotus roots inside could be seen clearly. You should know that in the ancient tombs in the past, not to mention the lotus roots, even the coffins had already begun to rot.
Looking at the densely packed and shiny new burial objects in the tomb, Chang Ningchen was also very shocked. The lacquerware looked brighter than the glass bowls of today. Dongfang He looked at Chang Ningchen and asked, "Why don't you use your ability to ask Xin Li a question about pursuing his wife?"
Chang Ningchen froze instantly when he heard this. To be honest, Shen Chen had seen the documentary about Xin Li chasing his wife. The picture that suddenly popped up in his mind scared Chang Ningchen. The wife looked a little scary after being unearthed, which could be regarded as a childhood trauma of the original owner.
With that picture in his mind, Chang Ningchen shook his head and said, "I'm still more interested in the female terracotta warrior who came out of the tomb."
Dongfang He said unhappily, "How can a terracotta warrior sister know as much as the tomb owner? But this era is much more humane than the Zeng Dynasty. That king buried people with the dead, but this period uses terracotta warriors."
Chang Ningchen nodded. However, he heard that the system of human sacrifice was abolished by Duke Xian of Qin, but it was still practiced in remote vassal states. Servants and slaves were just property to them, and there was no humanity in it.
Later, Zhu Yuanzhang restored the practice of human sacrifice, and the Ming Dynasty's God of War was abolished, so the God of War was not someone who did nothing good.
Dongfang He saw that the experts in the tomb had already started to open the coffin of the tomb owner. He said, "They will open the coffin soon. We can also go to the medical school to take a look."
Chang Ningchen nodded. The two of them were now like ghosts, and they could indeed follow and watch the medical experts dissect the female corpse.
The four layers of the coffin were opened, and in the end, Mrs. Xinligezhui, who was wrapped in thick silk in the coffin, still did not reveal her true face. As a thousand years had passed, the silk in the coffin felt like tofu. In order to protect the cultural relics, experts packed the coffin and sent it to the research institute.
Chang Ningchen and Dongfang He followed together. Because it took time to remove the silk, the female corpse was not found for several days after the coffin arrived at the research institute.
You know, in the past, experts knew that there was a corpse inside, but in the end they only touched bones. But this time, the unpleasant smell in the air made them realize that the owner of the coffin was special. Especially after touching the soft corpse, everyone present was shocked!
Chang Ningchen and Dongfang He watched this historic moment together. If they were not archaeologists, the scene would look more like a forensic doctor examining a corpse.
Soon after, medical personnel came and took over the lady's body. Chang Ningchen and Dongfang He followed them to the hospital, and then they underwent various medical examinations and autopsies. Chang Ningchen was a little scared and hid behind Dongfang He.
Dongfang He looked at Chang Ningchen who wanted to see but was afraid to do so behind him. He comforted him and said, "If you are afraid, why not divert your attention and use your ability to talk to some cultural relics."
Chang Ningchen thought about it and looked around the room, then prepared to talk to the lady's hairpin, but he missed and hit the lady's hair.
Holy shit!! I really need to chat with my wife now!
Chang Ningchen quickly turned around, but was pulled back by Dongfang He. Standing in front of them was a very gentle girl. She looked around curiously and asked, "Where is this place?"
Chang Ningchen looked around and felt that this girl looked nothing like Xin Li's wife. He asked, "This is a thousand years later. May I ask who are you to the Marquis of Wei's family?"
When the woman heard the name of Marquis Wei, she immediately bowed and said, "I am a servant of the Marquis Wei's mansion."
Chang Ningchen asked in confusion, "Then why are you with the Madam?"
The woman replied respectfully: "Mrs. Rong is pleased to see that she has taken a liking to my hair..."
It turned out that the hit was on the wig on Mrs. Xin Li's head, and Chang Ningchen breathed a sigh of relief.
Then the woman saw many people gathered in a circle, not knowing what they were doing. She looked around curiously, but saw nothing, so she gave up. After all, knowing too many things would shorten one's life.
Chang Ningchen asked curiously, "Madam, do you like melons?"
The woman nodded, then recalled how her mistress had a stomachache soon after eating the melon, and how she later passed away. When she heard the man ask this, she was shocked and said, "Did you poison the melon?!"
Chang Ningchen rolled his eyes and replied, "The old lady had a bad gallbladder and suffered from multiple diseases. After eating the melon, she suffered from biliary colic and a coronary heart disease attack. This should be the cause of her sudden death."
The woman was confused, but she understood that the lady had died of illness. She couldn't help but sigh and said, "The lady is gone, and the Marquis is very sad about this..."
Wait, isn't Tomb No. 3 the tomb of Marquis Wei's son? Chang Ningchen asked curiously, "Didn't Marquis Wei and his wife's son die first?"
Dongfang He couldn't help but ask Chang Ningchen: "Is it possible that Madam gave birth to two sons?"
Chang Ningchen suddenly understood, then said with an awkward smile: "This question doesn't count, let me ask another one!"
Then, while he was thinking about it, the time was up and the young lady disappeared.
Chang Ningchen was still a little reluctant to leave, but Dongfang He, who was standing aside, was a little jealous. He carried the person away unhappily.
They have seen the tomb in Ma Wangli, his wife has also seen it, Chang Ningchen has also chatted with the young lady, now it is time for him to be happy, if they wake up early they can still fight for three hundred rounds.
