In July, Xi'an was especially sultry.
The waves of screams made people more irritated.
The pedestrians outside were also very lonely and they all hid at home.
They ate watermelons and drank tea, mocking the people who were still in the sun outside.
Obviously, Liu Yun and his party were the targets of ridicule, because there was a strange tomb in a remote place like Tianyuan Village in Xi'an waiting for them to clean up.
"Uncle, uncle, how did this person die?" Liu Yun frowned.
He looked at the corpse in front of him and asked a steady middle-aged man next to him.
"It's hard to say.
There are dozens of fatal wounds on this body.
Do you know what this is?" Uncle stared at the skeleton, picked up a seven or eight-centimeter-long little thing and asked.
"Is it a rock?" Liu Yun replied uncertainly.
"This is a bone mastiff, a kind of hunting animal's weapon.
It is very similar to the arrows of ancient traditional arrows.
There is an iron hook on the sharp edge, the entire arrowhead is diamond-shaped, and there are three blood grooves.
Once it enters the body, it will firmly hook the flesh inside and drain the blood in the flesh."
Liu Yun's face changed greatly when he heard this, because dozens of bones of the skeleton had been nailed into the bony forks, and more than 20 bony forks were nailed into the pectorals and ribs in good order.
What was even weirder was that the bone was embedded in the cervical vertebra behind the throat.
And this position was too tricky.
It couldn't be reached from both the front and the back.
Liu Yun was a little nervous, pointing at the location where the bone spur had been nailed in and asking, "Uncle, how did this bone spur get in?
It shouldn't be able to get in from the throat."
Uncle Liu's sharp eyes followed Liu Yun's fingers.
He stared at Liu Yun for a long time and replied with a blank expression, "This bone cane should have been shot into the mouth.
I guess it must have been the deceased before he was tortured.
He was frightened and couldn't help screaming.
And this cane was shot into his mouth and nailed to the back bone."
Hearing this, Liu Yun couldn't help but shudder.
He had never heard of this kind of cruel torture.
Looking down, the fingers of the right hand of the body were all broken, and the left hand was empty.
It seemed that it had been cut off.
His legs were even more strange, twisting at an inconceivable angle.
Three of the bones in his left calf were broken, and the bones on his right calf were bent outwards in a sinister manner.
His appearance was extremely miserable.
Suddenly, a small bony spur caught Liu Yun's attention again.
The bony bony bony bony skunk was embedded in the man's bony.
From the direction of the bony skomaoon, it should be shot up from below.
The shame was located at the upper part of a person's physiological organ, which was inserted from the bottom to the top...
Thinking of this, Liu Yun felt numb in his limbs.
After a while, the excavation work was over.
There was only one coffin left in the entire mausoleum, and there were only a few women's hairpins and ornaments as the burial items.
There were neither bronze wares worthy of being studied, nor any written materials.
It made people wonder if the owner of the tomb was just an ordinary person.
After working for more than half a day, they found nothing.
The few scholars who were involved in the excavation were all disappointed.
They hastily cleaned up and brought the corpse to the research room for testing and analysis.
—
Lying on the bed in the dormitory, Liu Yun stared dumbly at the ceiling, his mind constantly thinking of those terrifying bony scabs.
Bang!
The door of the dormitory was pushed open heavily, which startled Liu Yun and made him sit up in a hurry.
His uncle walked in absent-mindedly and sat on his bed.
He didn't say a word and frowned as if he was thinking about something.
"Uncle?
Uncle?
What's wrong with you?
Has the result of the bone test come out?
Can you confirm the identity of the grave owner?" Liu Yun looked at him carefully and asked softly.
His uncle seemed to be awakened.
He looked at Liu Yun and said lightly, "The owner of this body is a woman, aged 15-25 years old.
She should have lived in the Tang Dynasty, which was 1,000 years ago.
There were 39 bone scabs nailed all over her body, and there were more than a dozen of them.
They should have been abused to death."
Upon hearing this, Liu Yun took a deep breath.
A naive girl in the prime of her life, or maybe even a underage girl.
What did she do to deserve such a cruel slaughter?
His uncle seemed to have noticed Liu Yun's confusion.
He sighed deeply and said, "Have you noticed the bone in the bone?
Based on the injuries this girl sustained, every part of her body is fatal.
There's no need for her to insert the bone from the groin."
Hearing his uncle's words, Liu Yun suddenly remembered that he had just noticed the bone marrow on the stage, but he had no idea what to do after racking his brains.
The uncle took a look at Liu Yun and said again, "A girl has suffered such cruel torture, and one of her wounds is in that secret place.
So there is only one possibility.
This girl has committed a great crime of ethics.
She may be in a relationship with others, be lured and killed by cruel enemies, or fall in love with someone she shouldn't love and betray her clansmen."
"Merciful?
That's impossible.
Even if a woman tries to intercede with someone, she'll be cast into exile at most.
It'll be alright if she's given a gentler beating.
It won't be so cruel as to torture her to death.
It'll mean that she's losing her humanity," Liu Yun said somewhat indignantly.
His uncle nodded, and then shook his head and said, "No, it's decided by the status of this girl's husband.
If she is an official, or even the emperor, it's not surprising that her wife and concubine are in touch with others.
It's just...
it's the first time that I've seen someone as miserable as the tomb master."
"Is this woman a member of the royal family?" Liu Yun suddenly thought of a possibility.
"Very likely, because we found this half-piece of the jade pendant in her tomb." While speaking, his uncle took out a crystal clear jade pendant.
At first glance, it would never believe that it had been buried for a thousand years.
"This is..."
"Luofeng Double Pendant is made of a rare Shetian jade, which was a symbol of status and status in ancient times.
At the same time, it is also a double crown jade pendant.
It can be divided into two pieces into carp-shaped jade pendants, which are called double fish.
The one that was unearthed from the tomb is one of the male fish, and the other is a female fish without a trace." The uncle looked at it with burning eyes.
"How could it be male fish?
Generally speaking, should a husband bring male fish, and his wife bring female?" Liu Yun asked in confusion.
"That's why I'm also confused.
Is it possible that the murderer accidentally left it behind after he killed a woman?" The uncle muttered to himself.
Liu Yun's expression was unnatural as he smacked his tongue.
He deeply felt pity for this prettiest girl.
"This is your first time exploring an ancient tomb.
You can't be lazy.
Go and look into the history books and documents of the Tang Dynasty and see if you can find out the identity of the woman from the historical materials." The uncle glanced at the absent-minded Liu Yun and said seriously.
"You don't have to look for it.
It's all in your mind.
My nephew was the first in history.
I knew it for five hundred years.
I knew it for five hundred years.
I'll go now." When Liu Yun was finding an excuse to slack off, he immediately compromised when he saw his uncle's stern eyes.
After washing his face, he looked at the sky outside the window.
He didn't know when the night was already covered in the sky.
In the forest, the buzz of mosquitoes was heard from the grass.
In the direction of the river in the field, there came the cry of frogs.
Looking at the trees and vegetable garden outside the window in a daze, Liu Yun recalled the tragic scene of the skeleton.
While he was sighing, a cold wind suddenly blew to his face.
