"Primitive man." Xiao Ning said: "The forehead is so prominent, as if it has not evolved successfully."
Fortunately, Xiao Ning didn't feel ashamed. Bai Yi and the other grown men were able to calm down a lot. These corpses were staggered under the ice. There were more than a dozen of them. Each one was not rotten and still maintained its shape.
If you look closely at their appearance before death, you will see that their hair is very clear, and their facial expressions seem to have been frozen in an instant, and they all look like they are surprised. "Why are they so surprised? Could it be that something incredible happened in front of their eyes?"
"Bai Yi put the torch in front of Bing and got closer. He saw that these people had a red mark on their foreheads, but the pattern was abstract and it was hard to tell what it was: "Look, what is this?
?”
Qixie said: "This should be the mark of the tribe. It is unique to each tribe, that is, the totem."
"I know about totems. In ancient times, every tribe had its own totem culture, and even the surnames were related to the totem culture. The Shang Dynasty used the black bird as its totem. This was mentioned in "Historical Records", the destiny black bird
"Totem appears to be the worship of animals or plants, but it is actually the worship of one's own ancestors. Whatever they think their life originated from, they will regard it as the totem of their tribe or nation and believe in it." Bai Bai
Yi said: "I seem to have seen this pattern in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, but I can't remember it for the moment."
Bai Yi was a little annoyed. This was a very important clue. His brain was not very useful at the critical moment. Qixie comforted him: "Don't be anxious. Let's look at other things. This place doesn't look like an ice coffin. These people
It seems like he met with an accident and died here."
"Isn't it the same as the extinction of the dinosaurs?" Lei Zi wanted to make a joke, but failed. As soon as he said this, the atmosphere at the scene became even colder.
The dinosaurs became extinct during the Cretaceous period. When did these people who seemed not yet fully evolved die? Bai Yi stared at the red marks on the foreheads of those people and forced himself to recall as quickly as possible. He had read so many of the Classics of Mountains and Seas.
So many times that I could recite it by heart at one time, where exactly did I see it?
"Bai Yi, there is still a road ahead, let's walk further in." Qixie pointed forward and said.
"Wait a minute." Lei Zi called out, "Look, what's below?"
Lei Zi's eyes were really sharp. Among the corpses, there was something like a mask. Under the light of the torch, there was a red stream of light flashing on it. Tang Sancheng almost drooled: "Good boy, it seems like
Where’s the ruby?”
"Wow, Tang Sancheng, you are really amazing. Now you can recognize rubies." Xiao Ning was also a little surprised. Sometimes he thought that Tang San's achievements were the same as those of the ancients. He did not eat the fireworks of the world. He was wrong, he only ate the food of the world.
"Well..." Tang Sancheng smiled so stupidly: "We found rough diamonds in Changbai Mountain last time. Didn't you say that there are all good things hidden under the ground? I just made a random guess."
Bai Yi adjusted the position of the torch and took a closer look: "You're lucky, you guessed it right. The red thing on it is really a ruby, and there's more than one."
"Then what are you waiting for? Let's get started!" Xiao Ning didn't care whether the corpse below was a naked man, and couldn't wait to dig with tools. Tang Sancheng looked at Xiao Ning with a look of horror on his face: "Don't get excited..." Woman
Ah, I went crazy when I saw the gems.
The ice was very hard. It took everyone a lot of effort to cut a hole in the ice, which made the process faster. After the ice was cut, a strange smell wafted out, Lei Zi's
His nose twitched: "It's strange, these corpses don't stink, but have a scent..."
A faint fragrance floated out from the ice cubes. Lei Zi stretched out his hand and touched one of the corpses. When he was done, he put it under his nose and smelled: "These corpses seem to have been coated with something.
Is it used for antisepsis? Or is it a daily necessities?"
There is no way to verify the authenticity of these. "It may be the extract of a certain ancient plant." Bai Yi said: "It may be the tradition of their tribe. Okay, Lei Zi, don't worry about this smell.
Let’s talk about it after we get the things below.”
The group of people sped up their movements and could faintly see the corpse below. Xiao Ning suddenly stopped his movements: "Well, I'd better avoid it..."
Although he was a dead person, there were no traces of him, which was really embarrassing. Everyone asked Xiao Ning to go aside to rest, and the rest of the people pulled out the ice cubes. All the corpses inside were exposed. The corpses had been sealed in the ice cubes for a long time.
It was very hard, and when you pressed it with your fingers, it felt like it was touching a metal object. It didn't even dent. "Damn, it's just like pork." Lei Zi took out one of the corpses fiercely.
, threw it on the ice: "It's hard!"
Everyone hurriedly separated all the corpses and exposed the ruby-encrusted thing. Bai Yi carefully put on his gloves and took it out. It was a mask. Bai Yi knocked on it and was not sure what kind of metal it was.
, the hardness is pretty good, and there are a total of twenty rubies on it, forming the same mark on the mask that appears on the foreheads of those people.
"The setting work is bad enough." Bai Yi said. These rubies are not so much set in, as they are forced in by force. Although they are not beautiful, they fit very tightly. Bai Yi tried it.
, even a ruby couldn’t be pulled out: “It’s really tight.”
Xiao Ning came over to take a look: "It's really a ruby, such a beautiful color."
The red color of these rubies is very dazzling, very bright, and there seems to be a sense of coldness. After all, they have just been released from the extremely cold ice. Bai Yi said: "Not only rubies, but also the best rubies - pigeon blood red."
, Xiao Ning, look carefully, is there a hint of blue among these rubies?"
"As expected." Xiao Ning asked, "Is there any explanation for this?"
"The output of pigeon blood red is very small, so it is very valuable. Myanmar is the main producing area. I never expected that rubies like pigeon blood red would be found on the ancient Kunlun ruins." Bai Yi said while looking towards the mask.
Staring at the totem pattern composed of rubies, I pondered for a long time and said excitedly: "I remembered it, I finally remembered it!!"
"What do you remember?" Tang Sancheng touched his chest. Bai Yi was startled. He also had a hard life. When he came to this ancient Kunlun, he almost didn't die. He didn't fall to death or freeze to death, but instead
I was frightened to death here. Isn't it unfair?
"I know which tribe this totem belongs to." Bai Yi showed a confident smile on his face, and he even snapped his fingers because of his enlightenment.
