There were bones all over the ground, and they were all human bones. This made me surprised. Why were there human bones in the roots of Biangan flower, and there were so many of them.
Shen Yuan was fiddling with the pile of bones, picking out the skulls and arranging them in a row. Wu Zijin and Sha Le were not idle either, helping Shen Yuan pick up the skulls. I guess they wanted to judge the number of people by the number of skulls.
.
The cleaning process was very tedious, mainly because there were many bones intertwined with the roots of the Biangan flower. Wu Zijin took a machete and spent a long time to get out one or two skulls.
The clothes were hanging near the whale oil on the edge of the passage. They were almost dry. Shen Yuan took back the six Qianlong Tongbao, took out the string and strung them again, and hung them back on his waist. I am now looking at his six carved mother-of-pearls,
There's no interest in it, there's a lot more here than it's worth.
"How many people are there?" I asked Shen Yuan.
Shen Yuan handed me my clothes and said: "There are more than a hundred people. Now I know why the yin energy here is so strong. If one Bianhuahua counts one hundred people, the number of people who have died here is simply countless."
I got dressed, squatted next to the human bones, picked up a bone, and studied it carefully. It was strange that the bones were very new. It is difficult to describe this feeling. Generally, the corpse has decayed to the point where the bones are exposed, and the bones have begun to change.
Black and rotten, even in a dry environment, bones will become dry and yellow. However, the bones in my hands did not have any black spots. I weighed them in my hands and found that they were very heavy. I knocked them on the ground and found that they were very hard.
It doesn't break when touched, just like when you want to make soup or go to the vegetable market to buy pork bones.
"Man-made fruits are also nutrients." Xue Yue murmured as she looked at the roots of the other shore flower and the bones on the ground.
"What do you mean?" I asked.
Shen Yuan pointed to the bones on the ground and said: "What she means is that Bianhua trapped these people in the net bag and used it as fertilizer to nourish the person in the center of the flower."
"So evil!"
I said in surprise: "If it takes so many people to nourish one person, why is the person in the middle of the flower still rotting like this?"
"Although it is rotten, it is not dead." Shen Yuan said.
Wu Zijin curled his lips and said: "This is almost the same as death. If it were me who was rotten like this, I might as well just die."
Shen Yuan pointed to the flowers on the other side of the underground river and said: "Aren't there two well-preserved flowers there? Pull those two flowers up and see what the difference is."
As he said, Shen Yuan picked a Bianhua flower. Lying on the Bianhua flower was a man about forty years old, wearing black Qin Dynasty clothes and a beard on his face. I couldn't help but feel sad for him.
I don't know what the consequences will be if I am picked by a bad old man like Shen Yuan.
Bianhua was dragged to the edge of the river bank, and was waiting to be pulled to the bank. Shale and Wu
Zijin looked at the sleeping man lying in the middle of the Biangan flower and didn't know what to do.
Shen Yuan said: "You two carry him to the shore, be careful."
"Grandpa Shen, there won't be any problem."
Wu Zijin was still a little worried: "This person is no different from a living person. What if he wakes up suddenly?"
"Probably not. There was such a big movement just now that I didn't wake up."
Shen Yuan said: "Don't worry, Master Qi and I will be watching from the side."
When others said don't worry, I would believe it to a certain extent, but when Shen Yuan said don't worry, I'd better be careful. I picked up the assault rifle and pointed the muzzle at the people on the other side of the flower, just in case.
Shale and Wu Zijin, one raised their hands and the other raised their feet, carefully moved from the other side of the flower to the shore. As soon as Wu Zijin's feet touched the ground, they suddenly stopped and stopped moving. It was not only Wu Zijin who stopped moving.
, Shale, who was still standing on the other side of the flower, also stopped moving.
My sight was blocked by Wu Zijin, and I didn't know what was going on. I quickly turned aside to see what was going on, but I just glanced away. I was too scared to move rashly.
The bearded man actually opened his eyes. His eyes were a little dazed, and his eyes moved slowly as he looked at us, and we all stared at him, most of us at a loss. Sure enough, Old Man Shen
I can't believe it.
Mao Tianlin showed his machete and moved slowly. Shen Yuan stretched out his hand and quickly stopped him. Silly Le was fine. He widened his eyes and remained calm, but Wu Zijin was already trembling. He was holding the man in his hands.
My hand was on the trigger of the assault rifle, and the muzzle of the gun was pointed at the beard. I was ready to shoot at any time if I felt something was wrong.
The situation was very strange, Shen Yuan stared at the beard, Mao Tianlin held the machete, I held the rifle, Xue Yue squatted on Mao Tianlin's shoulder, Shale and Wu Zijin were half-bent, still holding up the beard.
Everyone remained motionless and looked at each other with their eyes. Looking at Wu Zijin's embarrassed look, I doubted that he might not be able to hold on for long.
Two minutes passed like this, and the bearded eyes gradually became clear from confusion. Not only were his eyes moving, but his neck could also swing slightly, and Wu Zijin shivered even more violently.
"Ouch..."
The bearded man raised his head and let out a painful and shrill howl.
Wu Zijin gave up and crawled away. Seeing that Wu Zijin had run away, Shale didn't hold on any longer. He threw away his beard and quickly jumped from the flower on the other side to the shore.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The beard was thrown heavily to the ground in the passage. It was almost dead, right at my feet. I was startled and reflexively fired. Three consecutive shots. Although the distance was very close, I fired.
Too hasty, plus
It was bad luck. Only one of the three shots hit his leg. I was afraid that he would not die. After taking quick aim, I was about to continue shooting. Shen Yuan quickly grabbed the muzzle of my gun and tilted it to the side, stopping me from continuing to shoot.
Bearded man was lying on the ground struggling and wailing. I don't know if I hit him in the leg or if we woke him up from his slumber. We didn't dare to make any big move and semi-surrounded him on the bank of the underground river. Shale also took some
We have assault rifles, and whenever Beard shows up in dangerous behavior, we will take action together.
A strange thing happened. Dark spots began to appear on his bearded face, his skin slowly dried up, and the bridge of his nose shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye. Not only the bridge of his nose, but his entire body was slowly collapsing, like ice under the scorching sun.
The lumps were melting away, and after a while, the wailing sound of the bearded man became smaller and smaller, and finally there was no sound or movement, and it turned into a dead wood.
Mao Tianlin carefully took two steps forward, put the machete against the bearded nose, observed for a while, and said, "I'm not breathing."
"Dead!"
I was a little surprised, "No way, he died so easily! Those people were so rotten that their bones were exposed and they were still breathing. I just hit him in the leg."
"Brother Ye Zi, you killed someone." Wu Zijin said softly.
"fart!"
I was shocked in my heart, and suddenly remembered that a human life had died in my own hands, and I began to panic inexplicably: "He...he...he, he is not a human at all, he is probably the same thing as a human being, and ...And do you think he looks like a normal person now?"
Xue Yue said: "You didn't kill him, it was because he left Bianhua."
Shen Yuan nodded, "Yes, it's obvious that the Bana Flower has some special function that allows him to live forever in a deep sleep. But as long as he leaves the Bana Flower, his body will dry up and die."
What Shen Yuan said made sense. I pointed at Wu Zijin and Sha Le and said, "Yes, I think so too. You two were the ones who killed him, and you carried him out."
"Grandpa Shen asked us to carry it." Wu Zijin immediately pointed the finger at Shen Yuan.
"Okay, okay."
Shen Yuan was a little impatient and said: "Boss Ye, why do we care about this? If he dies, he will die. He should die too. A person from the Warring States Period has lived until now. What will happen if he dies."
"Um!"
Everyone nodded, agreeing with Shen Yuan's point of view, and no longer struggled with the question of who had the greatest responsibility.
"What should we do now?" I asked Shen Yuan.
Shen Yuan pointed to the underground river and said: "His body is well preserved and must be closely related to the Flower of the Other Side. Let's pull up the Flower of the Other Side and investigate the cause and effect."
