    ?

    Those mushrooms grew around the wall, and their appearance was faintly red under the unclear light. They looked like normal mushrooms.

    The soldier was bending down to reach out to touch it, but Wan Yao's face suddenly changed, "Don't move!"

    He was taken aback when he heard the words, probably because he was a little confused by her sound, and felt a trace of unknown fear for no reason, so his posture froze there abruptly, unable to move up or down.

    Wan Yao quickly took the torch from Xiang Huan's palm and ran over.

    ?With the lighting, the color of the mushroom in front of my eyes became clearer. The bright red appearance was as bright as blood, and the umbrella-shaped head was covered with fine and dense white spots.

    The more you look at it, the more unknown it becomes.

    Wan Yao took off the veil and wiped it on the mushroom, and a thick liquid stuck to it.

    She frowned: "Toxic."

    The soldiers were astonished: "Poisonous?!"

    With a single stroke of the torch, everyone could see that not only the corners, but the entire tomb's walls were densely covered with such bright red mushrooms.  Those bloody flower umbrellas were crowded around, like countless pairs of quiet eyes, quietly staring from all directions.

    Before Wanyao said anything, the short-legged man had goose bumps all over his body. If it wasn't for the guards pulling his skirt, he might have sat down on his buttocks.  He entered the door in a hurry before, and didn't dare to look too much. Only now did he notice the scene in the tomb, and fought a cold war of fear.

    Xiang Huan had already walked over from the coffin, but he was very calm, "We didn't have these when we passed by last time. They should have grown because the stone room was soaked in water and it was too humid."

    The soldier looked at his scalp and said, "It's no wonder that things that are nourished by corpse gas are poisonous."

    Wan Yao raised a torch and looked around the tomb, and even found a big hole they stepped on in the secret road of Baishizhai back then.

    It seems that most of the water in the tomb also flows down from above.

    "This place is upstream of the water source, and there may be an underground river nearby. If such a quantity of poison flows into the stream, even if it is diluted by the water, the effect cannot be underestimated."

    Xiang Huan followed her, "You mean, the poisonous mushrooms here are the reason why the soldiers in the army were poisoned?"

    "I can't give you a definite answer. I have to take these things back to test the toxicity." Wan Yao turned her head, "But it's almost the same."

    "Understood." He snapped his fingers and asked his soldiers to pick some fresh mushrooms and take them away.

    "I don't know how strong the toxicity is right now." Seeing the other party eager to try, Wan Yao hurriedly told him, "Be careful and try not to touch it."

    You can't pick it with your hands, it's a troublesome thing, the soldiers don't have the habit of women carrying silk handkerchiefs, and of course they don't dare to ask Wanyao to borrow them. They looked around for a while, and finally landed on the short-legged man next to them.  His eyes were simple and straightforward looking at the other party's thick robe.

    The latter was so hair-stricken by his gaze that he folded his arms unconsciously.

    After a long while, the soldiers dragged a half-worn cloth shirt in their hands, picked mushrooms on the wall through the cloth, and carefully wrapped them in the old clothes.  The short man behind was rubbing his thin dark clothes tremblingly, and looked at him with apprehension.

    Water was still dripping in the tomb, it was a very quiet sound, as if even the flow of air became clearer.  Even though there were four uninvited guests standing inside, such a ghostly place was equally eerie and frightening.

    Wan Yao was looking at the bone. She was used to seeing corpses, and now her mood was much more stable. Xiang Huan didn't worry that she was afraid, and only observed the details around her.  However, what he didn't expect was that when he came back after wandering around for a while, he found that she was still standing in front of the coffin, looking intently thinking.

    Recalling Wanyao's unusual interest in the funerary objects along the way, Xiang Huan hesitated for a moment, so he stepped up the steps and followed him to look into the coffin.

    The bones are as old as before, and there is nothing unusual about them.

    "What are you looking at?"

    Wanyao's brows were frowning, she supported the cold coffin, and shook her head slowly involuntarily: "Have you noticed that the furnishings of this wooden coffin have a strange sense of disobedience, it's too monotonous"

    He asked: "You mean, the tomb is simple, but the funeral objects are rich?"

    Wan Yao showed him the clothes of the owner of the tomb noncommittally, "This ancestor was buried in Suzhou-Hangzhou brocade. I have never seen such a jacquard pattern. I'm afraid it must be a treasure to pay tribute to the palace. She  Definitely not ordinary people."

    A few or two sentences made Xiang Huan's originally relaxed attitude subconsciously calm down, and he began to vaguely understand what she wanted to express.

    "Could it belong to a concubine from the previous dynasty?"??, born at the juncture when the Great Wei Dynasty was about to fade away.  "

    She took a sip of tea, and her voice suddenly became distant, "She was beautiful when she was young, and she showed her talents at the age of sixteen. She is intelligent, kind, dignified and virtuous, and has superb medical skills. I am lucky to see her.  He wrote a lot of poems and songs to praise him. It was precisely because of his reputation that he somehow fell into the ears of Emperor Xuanzong, and he was summoned into the palace by an imperial decree, and won unmatched honor and favor from ordinary people.

    "Empress Dowager Ru is very gentle towards others. Even if she was later promoted to a noble concubine, she still has no airs. She even donated her own money to the palace people to tide over the difficulties, followed Xuanzong to inspect the disaster situation, and healed the common people.  I have never seen her blushing with anyone."

    Mrs. Wan's eyes were full of nostalgia and yearning, "Chang'an at that time was the real Chang'an There were flowers everywhere, and people were buzzing everywhere. Merchants from all over the world gathered in the east and west markets. When you walk out of the house, you can see  Many strange faces come and go, blond and blue-eyed tall barbarians and Dongying people with foreign accents are bargaining in the market, and they shuttle through the streets and alleys with all kinds of novelties that are abundant in their country. It is a pity that I was too young at that time  , I can't remember many things clearly"

    A smile formed on her lips.

    Wan Yao's mind is full of the prosperous and prosperous Wei Dynasty in her mouth, and thinking about the current fragmented country, it is inevitable to feel a little regretful.

    "It happened on the way to the south of the mutiny"

    Her mother shook her head regretfully, "I was about six or seven years old at the time, and I didn't know anything. Before the rebel soldiers approached the city, my mother¡ªyour grandma carried them into a carriage and drove south in a daze.

    "Our family was still wealthy at the time, and we could follow the emperor's Yujia. But no matter what, even Yujia was running for his life. A group of people were exhausted on the road, and they went to somewhere convenient to live before dark.

    "It was at that time that I noticed something strange."

    Up to this point, Mrs. Wan felt a little sad, "It's been about ten days since the imperial capital was broken, and the guards guarding the vicinity, as well as the accompanying servants and maids, all whispered from the bottom, saying  It was because of the noble concubine's "disaster for the country" that the family and the country were separated and Chang'an fell. She was the person who brought ominousness to the Great Wei.

    "The rumors continued to escalate and worsen on the way to flee. I didn't take these remarks to heart at the time. However, once, when my mother took me to talk with the Queen Mother, I saw that her expression was often erratic and dazed. I think it was not unheard of.  Influenced by gossip."

    "My mother has a very good personal relationship with the Empress Dowager. I don't want her to be depressed and sad, so I went to give advice and comfort when I had time. However, when I arrived at the accompanying capital, the situation worsened." (Remember the website website: www.hlnovel.com
