No matter how you look at it, this Jade Rakshasa has nothing to do with human beings from beginning to end. Therefore, it is difficult for Chen Ziyun to accept this explanation.
But Tian Peng turned around and said: "This is possible. The morphological changes of this creature are really surprising. The corpse was still gray and black just now, but now it has changed, as if it has been silicified. The entire form is human-like.
, perhaps it can be said that it is similar to the bones of primates. You see, the lower body of this creature even has male-like characteristics." Tian Peng is very rigorous in his medical skills and speaks every word carefully.
Tian Peng thought for a while before continuing: "I suspect that this so-called Jade Rakshasa may be a human or primate infected by an unknown virus, which turned it into this form. If the inference is true, this
It is a case worth studying. Even if it is not, we can still identify what species it is. We can learn about its shortcomings through research and formulate corresponding solutions." Tian Peng took out the sealed bottle from the backpack and said,
Carefully cutting the tissue from the Jade Rakshasa's body. While cutting, he said: "It's a pity that we are entering the mountain now. This body cannot be taken away. Otherwise, if it is taken back to the research institute for research, we will definitely make greater discoveries."
Ye Ya expressed disdain for Tian Peng's speech. She said coldly: "With your level, you can't research anything even if you think about it." Tian Peng didn't take Ye Ya's blow seriously. For this iceberg beauty, Tian Peng has always been
Keep a respectful distance.
Chen Ziyun frowned and said, "How could a person become such a thing?" Although Ye Ya's words were absurd and bizarre, with Tian Peng doing scientific analysis on the side, Chen Ziyun already believed it.
Ye Ya continued: "In ancient times, jade mining usually involved organizing local labor. In the late summer and early autumn, when the river water was warm, they went to the river to fish for jade materials. However, the harvest of such jade mining was extremely unstable. The main source of jade materials was
It still depends on the mineral veins produced in the deep mountains." When Ye Ya said this, his voice was a little low: "In ancient times, people believed that jade was a very spiritual thing and a treasure of the mountain god. After the jade material was collected, a grand ceremony must be held.
, to offer sacrifices to the mountain gods, and sacrifices can be divided into living sacrifices and dead sacrifices.”
Chen Ziyun looked surprised. He really hadn't heard much about what Ye Ya said. Ye Ya looked at the two jade Rakshasa on the ground and said with a complicated expression: "And the sacrifice is to participate in the jade mining."
People. The so-called death sacrifice means killing the laborers involved in mining jade and sprinkling their blood on the walls of the mine where they once mined. The so-called death sacrifice means driving these people into the mine and using them outside.
They piled stones to death, leaving the people inside to starve and suffocate to death."
Chen Ziyun took a breath of air-conditioning and felt that this method of sacrifice was too evil. He was more inclined to think that the so-called sacrifice was probably the government at that time in order to keep the location of the jade veins secret and prevent private people from stealing it.
That's why he killed all those who knew about it and then gave him such a name.
"What does this have to do with Jade Rakshasa?" Chen Ziyun listened for a long time, but Ye Ya still didn't get to the point, and he felt a little anxious.
"Don't worry." Ye Ya gave Chen Ziyun another big eye roll, and then continued: "People who are sacrificed alive may not necessarily die immediately. Some mines are not tightly blocked and there is still air entering. The people inside can live longer.
Some. But living may not be a good thing. In order for these people to survive, or to live longer, they must need food and water. Do you think, in this desperate situation, where can they get food and water?"
Ye Ya's voice became a little eerie and strange.
Chen Ziyun frowned and looked a little pale. Seeing Chen Ziyun's expression, Ye Ya flashed a strange smile on his face and said, "You are right, the bodies and blood of our companions are all those trapped in the mine."
food. They can survive for a long time relying on the corpses of their companions.”
"But even so, they can't become like this, right?" Chen Ziyun looked confused, pointing to the body of Jade Rakshasa on the ground, and expressed doubts about Ye Ya's words.
Ye Ya said coldly: "The environment determines the mutation. Don't forget that the place where these people are is a jade mine that has just been mined. According to the legend left by the predecessors, it is said that the jade veins are spiritual and the jade is suppressive.
The treasures of ancient evil spirits. When the jade mines are mined clean, these evil spirits will be released, sacrificed to the mountain gods, and the living people will be imprisoned in the mines. This is also to allow the evil spirits to possess these people and then trap them in the mines.
Do not come out of the cave to cause harm to the world."
Chen Ziyun shook his head. Such an explanation was so unscientific that he found it difficult to accept it. He suddenly remembered the strange behavior of Ye Ya in his tent before and asked: "It seems that you have already noticed this Jade Rakshasa before he appeared."
To their existence?”
Ye Ya nodded and admitted: "Yes, my ears are relatively flexible and can distinguish sounds that ordinary people can't hear." When Ye Ya said this, he added: "Of course, my nose is also very good."
Chen Ziyun was speechless for a while. This Ye Ya is really a monster-like existence.
"I have heard people say before that in the mines in the deep mountains of the southwest, there is a kind of half-dead people called dry muntjacs." Wang Xiaowu, who was next to Chen Ziyun, said angrily. Her voice was somewhat changed due to altitude sickness.
"The muntjac man in the copper mine?" Chen Ziyun heard Wang Xiaowu's words and felt that they sounded very familiar. He suddenly remembered the records in some ancient notebooks and novels he had read before, and couldn't help blurting out.
"That's right." Wang Xiaowu nodded repeatedly: "Boss, how did you know? Have you seen it?" His eyes were full of reverence. Not many people knew this kind of secret.
Chen Ziyun shook his head and said: "I only read it in notebooks and novels, and thought it was just the work of predecessors with strange powers and chaos. I never took it seriously."
"Tell me about it." After all, Ye Ya is not omniscient and omnipotent, and is curious about this thing called a muntjac.
Chen Ziyun nodded, cleared his throat, and started talking.
It turns out that Yunnan was a major copper-producing area in ancient times. At that time, mining technology was backward and the risk factor was very high. Every time a mine collapsed, a large number of miners were buried underneath. However, the cost of rescue was too high and the rescue technology was backward. These absentees were
Most of them were left to fend for themselves in the mines.
These miners were unable to be rescued, harbored resentments, and were nourished by the smell of metal in the mines. They gradually turned into zombie-like beings. They looked alive, but in fact they had been dead for a long time. The ancients used
They are described as dried muntjacs, and they are called dried muntjacs, also called muntjacs. If a living person encounters this thing in a mine, they will beg the living person to give them food and take them out; even if there are few people
When traveling, you may encounter muntjacs and be caught and eaten by them.
We know from the older generation that encountering dry muntjac is not necessarily a bad thing. If some muntjacs ask for something, you can put forward conditions for them and point out where the mines still have mineral veins extending. Dry muntjac
If you know the gas of metal well, you will definitely be able to point it in the right direction. But if the dried muntjac demands to be taken out, you must not do so. Once the dried muntjac is exposed to the sun, it will melt and emit all kinds of stench, and anyone who smells it will definitely
