The faint fishy smell lingered in the air, and Yingning pointed to the front left: "It emanates from there."
Yingning gently pushed Qu Yan's hand away: "I can go on my own."
Qu Yan smiled and let go: "Okay, let's go and see what it is."
"You are the current king of the Yuezhi. Do you have telepathy when you come here?" Su Bai joked: "This smell is actually very familiar."
"Corpse." Qu Yan didn't care about Subai's difficulty with him: "It seems you also smelled it."
"I like this." Liu Shangsheng rushed out with a lunge. As he rushed, his legs suddenly slid down. After the invasion of sand just now, his legs were weak. With a pop, Liu Shangsheng's upper body lay on the sand, and his fingertips touched
An ordinary person would scream when he saw a hard object, but Liu Shangsheng was not an ordinary person, so his eyes lit up: "Nails, my God, incredible."
It was a very bright nail, and it was still slightly shiny. Liu Shangsheng pinched the finger and said, "Not bad, it seems to be a little elastic and not completely corrupted."
The faces of Yue Qing and Bai Moxuan changed. They were zombies if they were dead but not stiff. Bai Moxuan pushed Liu Shangsheng away: "Get out of the way!"
Liu Shangsheng, who had just struggled out of the sand, fell onto the sand again. The sand splashed into his nose and mouth, and he looked like a dog chewing the sand. Liu Shangsheng turned around and cursed: "You heartless Bai Moxuan!"
"Stop talking nonsense." Bai Moxuan had a Zhengyang Talisman on his hand. When he photographed the hand stretched out from the sand, a black energy overflowed from his fingers. This scene made Liu Shangsheng obediently shut his mouth.
The nails that were bright just a moment ago are now turning black!
Bai Moxuan immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "It seems that he is not completely rigid and has not become a zombie yet."
Before he could swallow this breath, the sand around him rose up. A corpse broke through the sand and bounced up with a "boom". Yue Qing flew up and kicked the corpse. With a crunch, the joints were partially broken. The skeleton
It fell to the ground and splashed with countless yellow sand. Yue Qing took a breath: "It's okay. There seems to be some movement underground, so it flew up instead of becoming rigid."
Qu Yan's eyes suddenly lit up. The corpse that had just been popped out from under the sand still had skin and flesh, and its chest was cut open, and there was a faint green color inside: "It's the Tongxin Sword."
The legendary Tongxin Sword is right in front of you. As long as you turn the body over, there should be a red plant behind it. That thing can detoxify Qu Yan from the poison of the Tongxin Sword!
Yingning was so excited that she stretched out her hand to turn the corpse over, but her face darkened - No!
Qu Yan smiled bitterly: "This corpse was picked up by the wind and then came here. I'm afraid the fire grass behind it was lost in the sand and disappeared. It doesn't matter, Yingning, I still have a chance."
"In such a huge desert, corpses are scattered everywhere." Liu Shangsheng murmured, "I also have a chance."
Damn it! Bai Moxuan cursed in his heart and looked up at the sky. Windstorms usually happen in the evening. Now it is getting dark. Traveling in the desert at night is not a wise choice. At that moment, everyone started to pack up their cars, take out their tents, and prepare to set up camp.
Village.
Liu Shangsheng was very interested in the two corpses. He pulled the two corpses out of the sand and placed them side by side. He muttered: "How can they remain so intact in such a noisy place with such a large temperature difference?"
, that’s great, it would be great if you could take it back for research.”
"Don't even think about it." Cui Ying said: "There is no place for two corpses in the car. If you really want to, carry them back on foot."
Liu Shangsheng didn't seem to hear anything. He held a magnifying glass in his hand and studied it carefully. Subai and the others were too lazy to pay attention to him. He was just a weirdo!
There is a large temperature difference between morning and evening in the desert. The desert is mainly composed of sand and gravel. The specific heat of sand and gravel is much lower than that of water. Under the same sunlight, sand and gravel absorb heat much faster than areas rich in water.
Therefore, it is quite hot during the day. Once it comes to night, the sunshine disappears.
The heat is lost, the temperature is released rapidly, and the temperature drops sharply. The most terrible thing is that the desert is still full of poisonous insects of various colors, some of which are green. You must not think that they are the closest colors. Under its bright and vital colors, what may be hidden is
Deadly poison.
After setting up the tents and lighting up a small fire, Bai Moxuan spread medicinal powder along the area of the two tents to defend against uninvited guests. When everyone was sitting around, Liu Shangsheng suddenly shouted: "Come quickly!"
This Doctor Liu always likes to make a fuss. Even if he screams hoarse, no one will be moved. Seeing that everyone is ignoring him, Liu Shangsheng takes out his trump card: "Look what I found, these two people have coins!"
Qu Yan had the biggest reaction. He immediately rushed over and said, "Let me see."
Liu Shangsheng had already wiped the coin clean. Qu Yan took it and took a look. It was round and without holes, with characters on one side and animal patterns on the other. Su Bai took a look and said, "This is Sanskrit."
Sanskrit! In the development process of the Yuezhi Kingdom, Sanskrit was also an important part. It is not the main script of the Yuezhi Kingdom. However, such coins are very special in the history of the Yuezhi Kingdom.
"These coins were minted to commemorate a monk who passed by the Yuezhi Kingdom to seek scriptures. The quantity is very small." Qu Yan turned over the coins taken out from the corpse, then turned them over again, his heart was already surging: "
This monk is named Tan Wujie. He became a monk when he was ten years old and went to the temple to practice asceticism. He often lamented the incompleteness of the Buddhist scriptures, so he made an oath and determined to go to the West to learn the scriptures. This man went to the West to learn the scriptures.
Two hundred years earlier than Sanzang of the Tang Dynasty, after he obtained the Sanskrit "Avalokitesvara Sutra", he entered the Yuezhi Kingdom and preached the scriptures in the Yuezhi Kingdom. The King of the Yuezhi at that time was deeply touched and once wanted to leave Tan Wu behind.
It was a pity that he was determined to leave. In order to commemorate him, King Yuezhi ordered coins with Sanskrit characters to be minted. The total number was only ninety-nine. Tan Wujie took away ninety coins, and only nine coins were left in the Yuezhi Kingdom.
Only in the royal family."
Seeing that everyone was dumbfounded, Qu Yan took out another copper coin from his pocket. This copper coin was exactly the same as what Liu Shangsheng found, except that the text on it was not in Sanskrit: "The system is exactly the same, the text is the only difference."
"There are only nine in the Yuezhi Kingdom." Yue Qing said: "Are these two people from the royal family?"
"I don't know." Qu Yan said: "The Yuezhi King has a history of migration. No one knows whose hands the nine precious copper coins ended up in. Judging from their clothes, they should be Yuezhi people. Sorry, I
I dare not draw any conclusions now.”
While Qu Yan was reviewing this period of history, Liu Shangsheng had been studying the two corpses. The hard work paid off, and Liu Shangsheng finally made a discovery: "They died very strangely, without any trauma. This was caused by Yue Qing."
Broken bones cannot be counted, but there are strange impressions on their neck bones, which can leave marks on the bones. This force is very unusual, but the impressions are too small to cause death."
There is a gourd-shaped mark on the neck bone, and the position of the two corpses is exactly the same.
"Is there any more precise information?" Bai Moxuan finally looked at Liu Shangsheng with admiration.
"Conditions are limited, and there is not much that can be seen with the naked eye. However, I still have a trick. Both corpses still have skin and flesh, and even the nails are intact. I want to use a trick to return to nature - steaming the bones for autopsy." Liu
Shang Sheng's mood was already high.
Cui Ying's shoulders shook: "Steamed bones for autopsy!"
Yingning asked curiously: "What is a bone steaming autopsy?"
"One of the three major autopsy methods in ancient times was to use flies to solve the case, to identify relatives by dripping blood, and to steam bones for autopsy." Cui Ying said: "The method of identifying relatives by dripping blood is now questioned by modern medicine, but in ancient times, this method was very effective.
Frequent, and it’s not blood and blood, it’s actually
Blood and bones. The ancients believed that if there is a blood relationship, the blood between the two parties will blend. Even if one party has died, as long as the bones of the deceased are taken out and the blood of the deceased's relatives is dripped into the bones of the deceased, the blood will naturally blend in.
Go to the bones."
Liu Shangsheng's eyes were shining brightly, and he looked at Cui Ying almost worshiping: "It's amazing, you are really amazing, few girls know this now."
Yue Qing coughed lightly: "What's going on with the case being solved by a fly?"
"Well, let's ask Su Bai." Cui Ying said, "This is related to the characteristics of insects."
"Simple, explain it from an entomological point of view: flies have a very sensitive sense of smell, especially the smell of blood. It is said that flies will arrive at the scene within 10 minutes of the death of an animal. Therefore, flies are known as the first witnesses at the death scene and the criminal police.
Detective guide. In addition to using the fly's sensitivity to blood, the fly's other physiological habits can also be used. The famous Devil's Meat Case in England in the mid-1930s used the accurate reproductive and development cycle of the fly to determine the time of death of the deceased.
Successfully found the murderer."
Subai tilted his head, met Liu Shangsheng's unconvinced eyes, and joked: "You have to be lucky that I didn't study medicine, otherwise, the number one person in Asia would have to be replaced."
Liu Shangsheng let out a "poof": "Let's go back to the steamed bone autopsy. The conditions are limited, so I'll make do with it. You guys can help me to see if I can build a support and dig a hole."
Liu Shangsheng suddenly became the mastermind. However, this place was full of sand. It was not difficult to build a scaffold, but it was difficult for several big men to dig a hole. In the blink of an eye, the sky darkened, and the sand pit was still shapeless.
Liu Shangsheng's idea made everyone exhausted. Subai and Yue Qing lay on the sand at the same time: "Oh my God!"
Suber said: "We knew it was impossible, but we still spent so long trying."
There was only one reason why I kept working hard even though I knew it was impossible. I really didn’t want to carry these two corpses on a long journey. I really couldn’t bear the smell. Unfortunately, the sand in this area was very dry, so digging a hole was impossible. Subai
He looked at the elder sister and Yingning helplessly: "There is nothing we can do."
Qu Yan said: "It's late at night now. To check the condition of these two corpses, we can only find an oasis."
"Do you really want to take these two corpses with you?" Cui Ying couldn't bear the thought of walking with the corpses: "Doctor Liu, you have to be responsible to the end."
Liu Shangsheng said with a playful smile: "I am responsible, I am responsible. What is the purpose of our coming here? To find the palace of the Yuezhi Kingdom. These two corpses have Yuezhi Kingdom's copper coins on them. Maybe this is a clue."
"It's getting late. Let's take a rest and start looking for an oasis tomorrow morning." Bai Moxuan finally came to a conclusion.
