Rebirth 81: Being forced into marriage by my sister’s best friend at the beginning

Professor Liu frowned.

"What's wrong?" Huang Lei and Lin Ran came over at the same time.

If he hadn't recognized the text above, he would have wanted to know what was written in such a long paragraph.

Professor Liu saw their anxiety, so he looked directly at the words on the sarcophagus and explained.

"The owner of the tomb is the king of the ancient Yan Kingdom and has the support of the Gui family."

"The Guijia is different from other schools of thought. They pursue the power of nature and believe that there is an ability to transcend nature between heaven and earth."

"Of course, what they believe is not that they can control the wind and rain, but that they can get power from the underworld."

"That's why it's called the ghost house."

"Their purpose of serving as a doctor in Yan State was to communicate with the dead to obtain information."

"As the saying goes, if you know yourself and the enemy, you can win a hundred battles. With the intelligence from the dead, they can ambush the enemy and often catch their opponents off guard."

"Just when Yan was about to show his hand, the founder asked to see King Yan Mourning."

"The information needs to be paid in exchange for Yangshou. He has not much time left, so I hope to build him a mausoleum and equip him with [-] Yin soldiers."

"Even if you die by then, you can continue to serve the State of Yan."

Hearing this, Wang Jinpeng couldn't help laughing.

"This ancient man really dared to speak." Although Wang Jinpeng had little education, as a Chinese, everyone knew that it was Qin that finally unified the six countries.

If Yan had this ability, it could still be destroyed by Qi, and it could even unify the eight wastelands.

Professor Liu was not angry because of his recklessness, but smiled: "Young man, some things are not as simple as you think."

Xu Ning also grabbed Wang Jinpeng at this time and signaled him not to cause trouble.

After listening, Wang Jinpeng nodded: "Professor, tell me."

Professor Liu smiled and said: "Many ancient documents contain mysterious and unknown things. It is difficult for us modern people to understand and accept them with our scientific knowledge. However, we cannot deny the beliefs and concepts of the ancients, which can be summarized in one sentence of superstition. "

Lin Ran must have thought that the Gui School was pure nonsense.

He actually believed in the existence of the underworld and borrowed his power.

But communicating with the dead and obtaining information has been something they have encountered before.

Such as King Hui.

Lin Ran finds it incredible now that a soul that has lived for thousands of years can only be said to be so wise that it is almost a monster.

Moreover, it is a spirit body with no entity at all.

If used for investigation, it does have unique advantages.

War in those days was not like it is now, and it was purely about high technology.

As long as you can master the intelligence and formulate strategies based on the intelligence, it is easy to gain an advantage in the battle.

Although modern technology can do better, in ancient times, people would have this concept, which was too advanced.

Lin Ran does not deny that a large part of the records about ghosts and monsters in ancient documents are fabricated, but they also contain an understanding of the world.

The beliefs of the ancients are different from those of modern people, and the purpose of archeology is to understand the culture of the ancients.

The texts in this tomb are part of their understanding of the ancient Yan Kingdom.

Professor Liu's words made Wang Jinpeng rub the back of his head in embarrassment.

Although he didn't understand, he still felt a little uncomfortable seeing Professor Liu looking so serious.

He had no choice but to reply: "Professor, just keep talking, just pretend I just farted."

He would not accept the beliefs of ancient people, but he just felt it was rude to interrupt the old professor.

Professor Liu didn't seem to be preaching to Wang Jinpeng. Lin Ran noticed his expression and felt that he was eager to prove himself that his idea was correct.

Why is he so excited?

Lin Ran couldn't help but leave a question mark in his mind. Seeing that he wanted to continue talking, Lin Ran directly interrupted Professor Liu's lecture: "What's next?"

Wang Jinpeng cast a grateful look, which reminded him of the scene when he was scolded by his class teacher in elementary school.

Professor Liu was still interested in the affairs in the ancient tomb. After hearing Lin Ran's words, he returned directly to the topic, with that fanatical look in his eyes again.

Lin Ran can understand that he respects the wisdom of the ancients.

But it's just respect, and it definitely doesn't reach this level of fanaticism.

Professor Liu continued: "What is recorded here is that he was begging to see Duke Yan, asking him to agree to his request."

"But this point caused Duke Yan's dissatisfaction."

"The Yan State during the Warring States Period was originally sparsely populated. It required 1 people to be buried with them, and they had to be young men. This simply cut off the Yan State's future."

"So King Yan Mourning asked him if he could use another method, such as using a human cave."

After all, after the Shang Dynasty, China abandoned the system of burials and implemented the practice of burials with people.

Because during this period, wars were happening everywhere, and people were a very important resource.

The population is not enough for normal conscription, and 1 young men have to be buried with them. This is simply cutting off the future.

"At that time, he said that he would lead this group of soldiers to pacify the underworld. From then on, they can return to the ground to assist in the battle at any time."

"Although a large amount of information was obtained through him before, the monarch of Yan still hesitated in the face of real interests."

"Think we'll discuss this later."

Professor Liu's expression instantly became solemn.

"But not long after the monarch returned, he died of illness."

"Then all his disciples committed suicide by taking poison and followed Enshi to the underworld."

"It's too late for King Yan to regret it now, because all the people in this school have followed their mentor to pursue the power of the underworld."

"This mausoleum was probably built for them."

It was almost like hearing an outrageous story.

Wang Jinpeng and Xu Ning looked at each other, and Huang Lei also showed an expression of disbelief.

"Professor Liu, did they make this up randomly?" Huang Lei asked.

"This is what the inscription above says. As for the authenticity, it remains to be verified." Professor Liu sighed.

Because he saw what was recorded on the sarcophagus were the words dedicated to the King of Hell by the owner of the tomb.

At the same time, it also recorded some battles he had participated in. Of course, the scale of the battles was not large. You have to go back and read the information to find out.

Wang Jinpeng couldn't help it: "Then they should have failed."

"Yes." Professor Liu nodded, then smiled, "If such power really existed, they would have fought back from underground long ago. Will it be Qin's turn to unify the six countries?"

"Yeah." I didn't expect Professor Liu to be so humorous. Wang Jinpeng felt a little nervous just now, but now he has relaxed a lot.

Lin Ran said: "Indeed, this person's statement is open to question."
