I wish you two lifetimes
Chapter 052 Her Secret
"Wen Yanzhi, what about the sarcophagus and jade coffin?" There was only the female corpse in the room just now, and nothing else.
"It's in another room. I'll take you there." Today's Gu Yanran was like a curious baby who kept asking him questions along the way. Today he was in a good mood and answered all questions patiently.
Gu Yanran nodded happily, and her steps became much lighter.
She had limited time before, so she didn't take a good look at the jade coffin and sarcophagus. She only knew the inscription with her name engraved on the sarcophagus, and she didn't know anything about the rest.
The door in front of him was unlocked, Wen Yanzhi knocked on the door, turned the handle, pushed the door open and entered.
The people inside heard the voice, raised their heads, and were a little surprised to see that it was Wen Yanzhi, "Group Leader Wen."
Wen Yanzhi nodded in response, and led Gu Yanran inside.
There are sarcophagi and jade coffins on the left and right in the huge room, and several staff members are measuring the dimensions and recording the data.
"How's the progress?" Wen Yanzhi took two pairs of gloves from the side, handed one to Gu Yanran, and then put it on by himself.
"Now I'm just measuring the data. There is nothing special about the sarcophagus and the jade coffin. There are too few points to study. After half a day, I have done a preliminary material evaluation." A man who was measuring the jade coffin stopped. Start the work in hand and walk to Wen Yanzhi's side.
"Wait and send me a copy of the results." Wen Yanzhi walked to the other side of the jade coffin, squatted down, and stroked the whole body of the jade coffin. Through his gloves, he could feel the chill from the jade coffin.
"Okay." The man nodded, seeing that Wen Yanzhi didn't need him here, so he went to work on his own.
Gu Yanran walked up to him and put her hands on the jade coffin. The sudden coolness made her shrink back, "It's so cold."
"Well, the material of this jade is very strange. The higher the outside temperature, the greater the contrast between it and the outside world. This is one of the reasons why the corpse can be preserved for so long without decay." Preserving the corpse requires all conditions. Well, over the years, most of the effects of the mercury liquid have already been lost. It is thanks to this jade that the female corpse can be preserved so well.
"Even if such a large piece of jade is put together, it is extremely difficult." Gu Yanran took a closer look. When he was in the tomb, it was too dark to see anything clearly. Now the original appearance of the jade coffin can be seen clearly.
If you look carefully, you will find that there are traces of marks in the jade, some of which are broken marks, and more are the traces left by the jade coffin made of pieces of jade put together.
For such a large jade coffin, countless jade stones are spent, and it is necessary to find jade with similar texture and color, which shows how time-consuming and labor-intensive the project is.
"Is there any writing on it?" Gu Yanran knelt down and stroked the surface of the jade coffin with her hands. It was difficult to feel the scratches on the jade surface through a layer of gloves, so she took off the gloves.
"Gu Yanran!" Wen Yanzhi frowned and looked at her displeased.
"What's wrong?" Gu Yanran was a little confused. He was fine just now, so what happened to him? She was a little confused.
"Put the gloves on for me." Wen Yanzhi was a little helpless, why did she not have a long memory, she touched that piece of candy jade before, but luckily the mercury content was not much, people were fine, she was lucky, she completely forgot what happened before , This time it was even more extreme, and I was going to touch it with my bare hands. The jade coffin was directly filled with mercury liquid at that time.
I really don't know if she is heartless or has a short memory.
"I can't feel anything with gloves on..." Gu Yanran was a little aggrieved. Now he would be dissatisfied even when she took off the gloves, but what she said was the truth.
"Let's see then." Wen Yanzhi interrupted her and didn't give her a chance to explain. He was also negligent before, and this time he couldn't give her another chance.
Although he himself knew that after a few days, there should be no big problem with the jade coffin, but the slightest possibility was not allowed to exist, after all, he couldn't guarantee that nothing would go wrong.
Gu Yanran pouted, and put on the gloves obediently.
The former Gu Yanran had nothing to be afraid of. Xu Yichen always said that she didn't look like a normal girl, and he didn't know who would be able to suppress her in the future. What Xu Yichen didn't know was that it wasn't that there was no one, but that that person didn't show up at the time.
Seeing her put the gloves back on, Wen Yanzhi frowned, lowered his head and continued to work.
Gu Yanran checked it several times carefully, not letting go of any corners. She was afraid that the engraved characters were small and shallow, and she would ignore them, because it was not like this had never happened before.
But apart from some tiny scratches, there was nothing left, and her eyes were sore from looking at it for too long.
She has checked it inside and out, but there is nothing, is it really just a simple jade coffin?
However, her intuition told her that it should not be that simple, because sometimes her intuition is still very accurate.
She walked to the sarcophagus on the other side and found the place where the words were engraved before, and the words "Tomb of Linhuai Kangyi Princess Liu Chupei" appeared in front of her eyes.
Before, she just used the touch of her hands to distinguish characters, but she could only vaguely distinguish what characters were, but this time she could see them clearly.
There is nothing special about the other few characters, only the character "Pei" among them is very strange, its last stroke is stretched very long, as if it was cut open by a carving knife.
Who carved these words? She suddenly began to doubt her previous judgment. If Liu Chuyu or Liu Ziye prepared the coffin in advance and asked someone to carve the inscription, it would be impossible to allow such mistakes to happen.
She stroked the word "Pei" lightly, each stroke of this word was deeply engraved, and she could imagine how much effort the person who made this word used at that time.
"Wen Yanzhi, come and take a look." Gu Yanran waved his hand, motioning for Wen Yanzhi who was recording the number of jade wares to come over.
Not only did Wen Yanzhi hear her voice, but several other people were also attracted, and everyone walked behind Gu Yanran.
"Did you find anything?" The other people were a little curious. They had been looking at it all day, but they found nothing except the words on it. The girl in front of her didn't look old, and she didn't know her origin But because it was brought by Wen Yanzhi, they subconsciously felt that this girl should not be simple.
"The word 'Pei' is not engraved." Gu Yanran pointed out the word 'Pei' to them.
"I don't think there's anything wrong with it." A man standing behind her said that he was responsible for the inscription. At this time, Gu Yanran's words were tantamount to slapping him in the face. He has been in this business for three or four years. What a big achievement, but there has never been a big mistake, he didn't see anything, could it be that the little girl in front of him could find something else?
"The last stroke of this character is longer, and this character is twice as deep as the other characters." Gu Yanran turned his head and looked at the owner of the voice. He looked not young, so he must have some experience. Yes, why didn't you see this?
"So?" What does the deep engraving represent?He felt that the girl in front of him was playing tricks and pretending to understand, but because it was brought by Team Leader Wen, he didn't dare to say anything. He sneaked a glance at Wen Yanzhi and saw that he was just standing aside, The soft eyes made him suppress his dissatisfaction with Gu Yanran, and he dared not speak out.
"So it means that this sarcophagus was prepared temporarily, and it was not carved by a stonemason." The dead are the most important, and the engraving of the inscription is extremely particular, and no mistakes can be tolerated, let alone the royal tomb. Now it seems that there may be no major problems, but At that time, it was impossible to carve it like this without losing its head, let alone use it as a sarcophagus.
In addition, she felt that it was impossible for Liu Chuyu to carve it herself. To carve a stele, one needs to control the strength properly, which is completely impossible for a woman raised in a deep palace.
This is what puzzled her the most. Who carved the inscription, and why there were only these words and no other content. This kind of situation has never been seen in any tomb.
"Okay, let's go to work on our own, and waste a day without bringing out anything." Wen Yanzhi stood aside and said to chase people away, he frowned, and a group of people gathered around Gu Yanran to do something.
Several people still had questions in their hearts and wanted to ask Gu Yanran, but seeing that Wen Yanzhi was a little displeased, they didn't dare to stand any longer and scattered in all directions.
"Do you still think this is Liu Chuyu's tomb?" Seeing that there was no one else beside him, Wen Yanzhi squatted down, his eyes were level with hers, and asked her.
Gu Yanran didn't speak, and now she had a thought in her heart that she didn't dare to think about, and she couldn't believe it: This is not Liu Chuyu's tomb, but it is indeed Liu Chupei's tomb.
But when she was buried alive, there were Liu Chuyu's people around her, Anu was not there, Yan Zhi and Xie Heng were not there, even the second brother disappeared inexplicably, and her people had long been imprisoned and executed by Liu Chuyu Executed, no one knows where she was buried, how could she still have a tomb, and who buried her?
"Gu Yanran." Wen Yanzhi called her softly, and when she looked up, he continued: "Many things, what you see may not be true, but it may not be false either."
Gu Yanran understood what he meant.
Before, she kept saying that this was Liu Chuyu's tomb, but because she saw the things that belonged to Liu Chuyu, she felt that those inscriptions were illusions, and Liu Chuyu was blinded.
But think about it the other way around, what if those funerary objects are illusions, but the inscriptions are real?
Gu Yanran's heart couldn't stop trembling, and his right hand slowly stroked the three words "Liu Chupei" on the inscription. It was clearly a sarcophagus without temperature, but it made Gu Yanran's fingers and heart burn.
Wen Yanzhi looked at Gu Yanran who was at the side with a gloomy expression and moist eyes. He didn't speak, but there was an undercurrent surging in his heart.
He has always felt that there are many secrets in Gu Yanran, from when she first met her, she misidentified the person, to when she found the piece of sugar jade in the hands of the female corpse in the tomb, to the objects and people she knew about the Southern Dynasty and Song Dynasty. Familiarity, and she is very concerned about this tomb No. [-].
Thinking about it now, all things seem complicated and confusing, but in fact everything is internally connected.
At this moment, he seemed to suddenly understand that in fact, everything will detour to a person in the end, and her secret comes from this.
That person is - Liu Chupei.
"It's in another room. I'll take you there." Today's Gu Yanran was like a curious baby who kept asking him questions along the way. Today he was in a good mood and answered all questions patiently.
