"Well, it's weird anyway, that thing's head is big, and the bones seem to be very dense. You know he was the one we were driving into the ground, and the machine that was driving the cement piles underground, and there was a diamond on it, and even the diamond couldn't penetrate its skull. If in terms of hardness, I think the skull of this strange thing is even harder than the composite armor of the tank, even if it is the composite armor of the tank, I dare not say that the diamond diamond can't be opened!" Company Commander Zhang touched his head: "It's really getting weirder and weirder when I think about it now, I'm still wondering, what the hell is it, I thought it was some kind of creature in the jungle that died Google, and now Brother Li, when you say that, I really think something is wrong with him." ”

"Can you draw it?" Li Huan found that he had already found an explanation, but he needed to confirm it further.

"Draw, I can't draw it......" Company Commander Zhang scratched his head: "But I have a way to find out what it looks like for you, you wait." ”

After speaking, Company Commander Zhang stood up and stepped into the middle of his sitting soldiers in a few steps: "Let me ask you who brought out of the mobile phone in violation of the law today, who took a picture of the bone, I know that you gang of deflated calves must have brought their mobile phones out, and now they brought their mobile phones out and took pictures of them all to me, and today will not be your punishment!"

Company Commander Zhang's eyes swept around the sitting soldiers—but the answer he got was not so ideal.

"Company commander, you can't wronged us, we're just small soldiers, what kind of mobile phones are we carrying, and this time we are out on a classified mission, you have already reminded us, don't let us bring mobile phones, none of us have mobile phones! And after your phone was taken away last time, isn't it still locked in your drawer?"

"I didn't bring it out, company commander, you don't have to look at me like that, I just came out to do a mission today, don't look at me I usually always secretly bring a mobile phone, but I really didn't bring it today, I know that you actually can't bring a mobile phone on this confidential mission, I definitely didn't bring it out! No matter how bastard I am, I can tell the weight of confidential things, I definitely can't bring these communication tools!"

"Report to the company commander, it's useless for us to bring our mobile phones out, we still have a clear distinction between the importance of building the runway at the airstrip today, we know that some enemies always like to use mobile phones to locate them, if we bring the mobile phones out, it will be bad, what if someone else locates us?

A small soldier shook his head neatly to indicate no.

Li Huan couldn't laugh or cry when he saw it.

"It's impossible no, don't lie to me, you calves, don't say any confidential or unclassified tasks, I told you, this is a very important thing, if you have a mobile phone, quickly take it out for me, I won't count your mistakes today!" Company Commander Zhang was lost face in front of Li Huan, and his face immediately darkened: "Now take it out obediently, I'll say it again, the person who took the photo of the fishbone, hand over the mobile phone to me, don't let me go to the end to search it out for you." Now you hand it over yourself, I will count you as a meritorious service, but if you have to wait until I put your phone out, then it is not a matter of merit or not, give me a good return to squatting and confinement for a month!"

After speaking, Company Commander Zhang looked around, and it seemed that no one had raised his hand. Just look at Company Commander Zhang's question, he also wants to come over and persuade him, these are really not easy to be small soldiers, they come out to perform tasks, how can they disobey the order and carry their mobile phones without permission, Company Commander Zhang is a bit difficult for a strong man. Thinking of this, Li Huan wanted to go over and persuade a few words, but before he could speak, he saw a small soldier standing up.

"Company commander, is it really considered meritorious?" The little soldier looked eighteen or nineteen years old, he should be a new recruit, he stood up and asked weakly: "That, I brought it, but don't get me wrong, company commander, don't get me wrong, I just thought that we went into the mountains, under the premise that the mission is completed, I can play a stand-alone game, you can rest assured, I know the confidentiality regulations, the enemy must not track a mobile phone without a signal!"

"I knew you calves had your own cell phones. Look at it, I've really made you a contribution. Company Commander Zhang was disdainful: "Okay, don't say anything else, if you want to make meritorious service, you'd better tell me that you took that photo." ”

"I patted it, and I just looked at the strange bone, so I took a ...... when I buried it," the soldier said.

Company Commander Zhang dragged the mobile phone, flipped it open, and nodded: "Okay, you will go and wait for confinement." Said you have been a few times, and I won't let you bring your mobile phones...... Why did you pull out the SIM card, do you think that after you pull out the SIM card, there will be no way for people with a heart to track you out? I said, no is not allowed!"

"Company commander, you are deceiving people......" The little soldier immediately cried and mourned.

However, Company Commander Zhang didn't think about it so much, he handed it to Li Huan immediately after he got the phone, and said as soon as he handed it over: "Brother Li, let's see if it's this." Although I didn't see it, but I know too well about my own group of soldiers, these shriveled calves carry a mobile phone wherever they go, and I know that they must have taken pictures, so I won't let me find out, you see if it helps you. ”

"Aren't you funny, what was supposed to be a good meritorious service has become confinement. Li Huan couldn't cry or laugh.

"Oh, brother, you don't know this, leading soldiers is like this, you must pay equal attention to grace and power, some things are high-voltage lines that can't be touched, do you think I don't know they have mobile phones on them? In fact, I know every time. Our tasks are always carried out in the deep mountains and old forests, in the deep mountains and old forests, unless it is a very confidential mission, I usually turn a blind eye and don't see it, you think about it, they are all teenagers and twenties, let them drill in the deep mountains and old forests for a few months, and have a mobile phone and play games. Well, I can't say that on the surface, and if I say that, I won't be able to control them. Company Commander Zhang smiled: "You hurry up and take a look to see if there are any clues in this photo." ”

Li Huan shook his head helplessly, expressing regret for the confined soldier, and then took the phone over to take a closer look......

That's right, Li Huan was almost sure that he had guessed correctly.

It's not some snake bone, it's a mirage!

No wonder there will be a parallel world here, and the entrance to this parallel world will be open for a long time, which is completely contrary to the truth, but if this corpse is here, then everything can make sense - the corpse that Company Commander Zhang dug up is not a fish or a snake, but a mirage skeleton!

The sea monster of Chinese mythology and legend is large in shape like a snake and has horns like a dragon. Red hyena, scales below the waist are reversed. Can exhale, and form a mirage. There is also a sea clam with the same name, also called a car claw. There is a saying that pheasants enter the sea as a mirage. This thing is recorded in many ancient myths and stories.

"The Book of Rites - Lunar Order"

The pheasant enters the water as a mirage.

"Youyang Miscellaneous"

Half of the mirage has been reversed.

"Saying Words and Interpreting Words"

The pheasant enters the sea and turns into a mirage.

Materia Medica

Shi Zhen said: Jiao's genus has a mirage, its shape is also like a snake and big, and there are horns like a dragon. Red hyena, scales below the waist are reversed. Swallow-eating. It can be breathed into the shape of the tower, and the rain will be seen, and the mirage is also called the sea market. Its fat and wax are made of candles, incense is a hundred steps, and there is also the shape of a pavilion in the smoke. "Moon Order" clouds: pheasants into the water for a mirage. Lu Dianyun: Snakes and turtles give birth to turtles, and pheasants give birth to mirages, and things are different but sympathetic. Snakes and pheasants give birth to cockroaches, like snakes with four legs, which can harm people. Lu Yuyun: The cockroach sound owl, that is, Jiaoye, or mirage. Lu to Gangyun, the first moon snake and pheasant give birth to eggs, when the thunder is into the earth for a few zhang for the snake, after two or three hundred years, it can rise. The eggs do not enter the soil, but they are pheasants. Looking at this number, the mirages are all one kind, both alive and transformed. A kind of sea clam, with the same name, Luo Yuan thought it was a pheasant mirage, I don't know if it is?

Shi Zhen said: Che Che is vulgar and is called Chang'e. The mirage of the mirage and the mirage, the foreign body of the same name.

"Taiping Guangji" quoted from "Narrative Differences"

Yellow finches turn into clams in autumn, yellow finches in spring, and mirages in five hundred years.

"Miscellaneous Notes of Shuyuan"

The mirage of the building, out of the "Book of Heavenly Officials", its origin is far away. Or take the mirage as a big clam, and the so-called "pheasant into the sea as a mirage" in the "Moon Order" is also. Or they think that they are transformed by snakes, and there are many such things in the sea. However, in the coastal land, there is no way to see the shape of a building, but Dengzhou Haishi, the world preached, suspected that it was caused by mirage. Su Changgong's "Preface to Haishi Poems" said that it tasted out of spring and summer, and it was no longer seen in the old age. Pray at the temple of the god of the sea, and see you tomorrow. If it is thought to be prayed for, it is not a mirage. "Liaodong Chronicles" cloud: "The southeast of Liaodong is also mountainous, its peaks and peaks are stacked and green, the green onions are considerable, when the summer and autumn are at the turn of summer, the rain is both misty and the sun begins

Xing, its mountains and mountains condensed, and the city towers and buildings are faintly reflected, and the people and horses gallop in the smoke, as if the world has everything. Although Danqing is wonderful, it is not exhaustive. The ancient name of Deng, Laihai City, said to be a divine artifact, how can it be that the spirit of the mountains and rivers causes evil?" The prayer of the eastern slope covers the ear. And there is a cloud in the poem: "Chaoyang is too guarded to move south, and I am happy to see the stone pile Zhurong." He said that he was upright and moved the mountain ghosts, but he didn't know that the creation mourned the dragon bell. His conceit is not shallow. Besides, this old man is good at talking, and he knows that he is not self-righteous and evil!

In the vernacular, in ancient mythology, the mirage had two forms, one was the large clam, or shellfish, but its body was large enough for the shellfish to become a sperm. Xu Shen's "Shuowen Jie Zi" said that "the pheasant enters the sea and turns into a mirage", and people at that time believed that the pheasant on the dry land came to the sea and turned into a mirage. In the "Chinese", it is more explicit: "Small clam, big mirage." are all mediums, mussels also", here the mirage is regarded as a large clam.

When mirage is a kind of large clam, many related words are derived, for example, mirage refers to the large clam shell thinned and inlaid with a transparent window, which is similar to the transparency of glass, mirage refers to the decoration of mussel clams, mirage refers to the sauce made of clam meat, mirage refers to the wall painted with mirage ash, and mirage, which is an ancient sacrificial vessel, its shape is close to today's wine glass, and the outer wall of the cup is painted with a mirage of exhalation.

Qing Dynasty painter Nie Huang's "Atlas of Sea Mistakes" depicts the image of a mirage, a large clam at the bottom of the picture, its breath spiraling upward, in the misty mirage, the towers and palaces gradually appear. Nie Huang also attached a four-word "Mirage Praise": "Shrimp, crab, turtle, mirage, mirage, pheasant, from the hills", obviously, Nie Huang also thinks that the mirage is a big clam transformed by a pheasant into the sea, and his knowledge reserve comes from books.

Another form of mirage, which is close to the dragon form, is a close relative of the dragon, called the mirage. There is a mirage in the Ming edition of "Sancai Tuhui", this picture is like a copy of the dragon, it is said that the mirage inhabits the coast or the mouth of a large river, and looks very similar to Jiao, and it may be one of them. The mirage has horns that are forked like a deer, a red mane on the neck to the back, and the scales are dark earth-colored. The mirage breathed out of its mouth could see all sorts of apparitions. Most of these apparitions are pavilions, and these apparitions vary from person to person, even if you look at the same apparition, there are differences in details in the eyes of different people. Mirages love to eat swallows, and it is said that mirages make phantoms with jets, the main purpose of which is to lure swallows into their mouths. In the "Sancai Tuhui", it is said that the mirage dragon "resembles a dragon, with horns and ears, and the back is red, and the puff becomes a building, and the rain is seen, and the fat and wax are used as candles, and the incense smells a hundred steps, and the smoke comes out of it, all of which become the shape of a pavilion." ”

The fat of the mirage can be used as a candle, and after being lit, it has a strong aroma, which can be smelled from a hundred steps away, and what is even more surprising is that the candle made of the fat of the mirage also has some magical powers, and the smoke of the candle can still be piled up into the shape of a pavilion and a palace, which is a further myth of the air pavilion created by the mirage. From the descriptions in these myths, the mirage is a creature capable of creating illusions. This point seems to be easier to understand from the "mirage".

Since ancient times, mirages have been the focus of the world. In Western mythology, mirages are depicted as the embodiment of the devil, a bad omen of death and misfortune. In ancient China, the mirage was regarded as a fairyland, Qin Shi Huang and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had led people to Penglai to visit the fairyland, and also sent people to Penglai many times to seek a panacea. Modern science has given a correct explanation for most mirages, believing that mirages are virtual images formed by the refraction of light reflected by objects on the earth through the atmosphere, and the so-called mirages are optical illusions.

In places such as calm seas, rivers, lakes, snowfields, deserts, or the Gobi, there are occasionally illusions such as tall buildings, city outlines, and trees in the air or "underground", which is called a mirage. This kind of illusion often appears on the sea surface of Penglai in Shandong Province of our country, the ancients attributed it to the mirage of the genus of the dragon, exhaled into the outline of the tower, so it was named.

A mirage is an optical phenomenon. The hot air on the sandy or stony surface rises, causing light to refract and create a mirage. Mirages occur in desert areas about 6 miles (9.6 km) from the shoreline, making objects 1 mile (1.6 km) away or more appear to be moving. This makes it very difficult to navigate on land, as the natural features are blurred in a mirage environment. A mirage can make it difficult for a person to discern distant objects, and it can also blur the outline of the distant vision, making you feel as if you are surrounded by a piece of water, and the higher part of the area looks like an "island" in the water. Mirages can also make it difficult for you to identify targets, estimate range, spot people, etc. However, if you go to a higher place and rise 10 feet (3 meters or so) above the desert floor (3 and 1/3 meters), you can avoid the hot air close to the surface and thus overcome the mirage illusion. In short, with a slight adjustment of the height of the look-and-see, the mirage phenomenon will disappear, or its appearance and height will change.

Mirages are often produced in the sea and deserts, and mirages are the result of the refraction of light rays in layers of air with different densities in the direction of a straight line. There are many types of mirages: according to the position of its appearance relative to the original object, it can be divided into epimirage, inferior mirage and side mirage, according to its symmetrical relationship with the original, it can be divided into normal mirage, side mirage, paramirage and reverse mirage, according to the color can be divided into color mirage and non-color mirage, and so on. Mirages are closely related to geographical location, geophysical conditions, and the meteorological characteristics of those places at a given time. The abnormal distribution of air temperature is the meteorological condition for the formation of most mirages.

In the wonders of a mirage, scientific explanations are often cited.

As far as the formation of the mirage is concerned. In summer, the scorching sun in the desert is on the head, and the sand is scorched, because the specific heat of the sand is small, the temperature rises very quickly, and the temperature of the lower air near the sand rises very high, while the temperature of the upper air is still very low, so that the abnormal distribution of air temperature is formed, due to the heat. Expansion and contraction, the density of hot air in the lower layer close to the sand is small and the density of cold air in the upper layer is large, so that the refractive index of the air is small in the lower layer and large in the upper layer. When the light reflected by a distant higher object is constantly refracted from the denser air in the upper layer into the sparse air in the lower layer, the angle of incidence gradually increases, and when it increases to an equal to the critical angle, total reflection occurs, at this time, if people look at the reflected light in the opposite direction, they will see the mirage.

Due to the dark color of the pavement and the strong absorption capacity of the scorching sun in summer, the asphalt road will also form a distribution characteristic of cold and dense air in the upper layer and hot and low density in the lower layer of the road, so it will also form a mirage.

A "mirage" that occurs in the desert is a phenomenon in which sunlight meets different densities of air. In the desert, the sand and gravel are scorched by the sun during the day, and the temperature on the surface of the sand layer rises rapidly. Due to the poor heat transfer performance of the air, when there is no wind, the vertical air temperature difference over the desert is very significant, the lower is hot and the upper is cold, the upper air density is high, and the lower air density is low. When sunlight enters the denser layer of air from the denser layer of air into the less dense layer of air, the angle of light changes, and the light is refracted to reveal the distant oasis in front of people's eyes. On the surface of the sea or river, this phenomenon of "mirage" sometimes occurs.

A mirage is an optical illusion, a virtual image formed by the refraction of light reflected by objects on Earth through the atmosphere. According to the principles of physics, mirages are due to the fact that different air layers have different densities, and light has different refractive indices in different densities of air. That is, it is caused by the difference in density between the cold air on the sea surface and the warm air in the upper air, which refracts light.

Mirages can be explained scientifically, but cultivators seem to be more inclined to another explanation—that is, mirages.

In the eyes of ordinary people, a mirage is a mythical creature, but cultivators have had many records of encountering mirages. After encountering a mirage, several things happen – the most common is a mirage, which uses its own breath to create a wonder, which is to make a beautiful picture. Of course, there is another relatively rare situation, some powerful mirages can even create an independent space, they can materialize the world they have conjured up, but that kind of mirage is too powerful, and it is generally impossible to leave alive after encountering it. Generally speaking, after encountering such a powerful being, there is only one result of being trapped and dying in the rough space of the mirage.

However, there is also an extremely special situation, this time when Li Huan had just become a cultivator before, he listened to the nonsense of the girls of Binglan Pavilion - a long, long time ago, the so-called "Sumeru mustard seed among the mountains and sects" of many sects was actually a mirage.

The stronger the Mirage cultivates as a cultiva that can be cultivated, the stronger it is in itself, but

Powerful but no match for time. When those very powerful creatures die, they usually leave regrets, don't underestimate these remains, there is also their great power in regrets. As a creature that can materialize space, its remains can create a small space out of thin air after a certain amount of tempering, which is the magic weapon of the previous sect "Sumeru Meson". As long as there is a mirage of bones, after being tempered with a certain secret method, you can independently open up a small "cave heaven blessed land" in the troubled times, which is the standard configuration of the previous major sects.

However, as time goes by, the bones of this creature become fewer and fewer, and every time a skeleton appears, it will also attract major sects to snatch it. Especially in modern times, the bones of this creature have become almost impossible to find. Even the four major sects combined don't have four skeletons, but I didn't expect to meet one here!

It's time to get rich, and luck can't be done. Li Huan thought that if his guess was correct, then being involved in this parallel world this time was not only not bad luck, but a great opportunity. If this parallel world is really built by the same Haigu as you suspected, then you still feel that you are going to make a fortune again this time, not only to complete the task of finding a world that is not monitored, but also to harvest a precious skeleton.

It's a mirage!

Since the disappearance of those ancient sects, the bones of mirages have become extremely rare. This kind of powerful creature with illusion generally lived in ancient times, and at that time the aura between heaven and earth was still very sufficient, enough for this creature to survive, but in modern times, especially after the development of industrial civilization, the speed of human destruction of nature began to become faster, and the speed of destruction could not catch up with the speed of aura growth. In a world without aura, this powerful creature eventually fell and eventually became a legend. Even the four major sects, which are recognized as powerful by everyone, may not be able to gather a complete skeleton to come out.

Well, if Li Huan's guess is correct, this is a great opportunity, this Ecstasy Valley, which has been confusing since ancient times, turned out to be a mirage corpse and a demon. If this matter is clarified, Li Huan not only completes the task assigned by his superiors, and he does not have to be confined, but he can also find a skeleton. This skeleton has a great effect, it is different from ordinary magic weapons, it can create an independent space existence, an independent space is equivalent to a small world, how precious this world is, it goes without saying.

"Let's go, brother, you take me to see, where is the place where this skeleton is dug up?" Li Huan thought of this, slapped his thigh and stood up: "If I guess correctly, this skeleton is one of the keys, if we find the secret of this skeleton, then we can leave this world." ”

"Brother Li, you're not kidding, what's the matter with a bone?"

"There are some things that are confidential, I can only tell you this, if I tell you now, if you are judged to be unaware in the end, you will definitely be dealt with by military law, do you still want to hear it?" You still don't know how to explain to Company Commander Zhang, so you have to use the identity of your superior to pressure him, this thing is confidential, and secrets, this is the most important thing in the military, a person who should not know secrets will be severely punished if he knows.

"Brother, don't be kidding, I don't want to know those secrets, don't you just want to look at the bones, I think the bones are not that powerful, no matter what, they are still bones. If you want to see it, let's go and see it, my old Zhang has nothing to say, as long as you can take us out of this world, then I will obey you. If you really find any secrets, if it is really needed by the country, let alone look at it, my old Zhang has to dig it out even if he uses his hand to plan. Let's go, I'll take you to see it. Zhang Lianzhang also quickly stood up and shouted towards the little soldier: "Xiao Song, come here, bring two more soldiers, the chief is going to see where the skeleton is, you guys were taking pictures at the beginning, don't drop the chain for me now, you must find the place for me!"

As Company Commander Zhang shouted, Li Huan saw the bonfire over there, and the soldier who had just taken his mobile phone next to him came over with two more soldiers. The two small soldiers ran to Company Commander Zhang and stood still: "Company Commander, I want to see that Haigu, it's still quite far, but the bones have been buried by us, and now if we want to see him, we have to dig it up again." ”

"Dig it up, dig it up, the chief wants to check that thing, who has the right to ask you questions, you two now see a few more people with tools, go find the place where you saw the bones at the beginning, and dig them out for me!"

"Company commander, don't talk about meritorious service, I don't believe it anymore. The little soldier named Xiao Song cried with a face: "If you ask me to dig, I'll dig it, then I'll go now?"

"Go, go, hurry, that thing could be important. Company Commander Zhang said: "Give me to be careful when digging, dig it out as much as possible, don't break anything, don't use the violent operation method you used to do, everyone digs with a sapper shovel, don't use construction machinery, understand?"

"Understood!" Xiao Song saluted and ran away with the two soldiers.

Company Commander Zhang's Li Huan, who watched after a while, was stunned: "Brother Zhang, you just confined them down, why do you want to make meritorious contributions? Do you say that people will believe it? Aren't you teasing others? Although I have never led soldiers, is this a bit too much, you make people happy for a while and sad for a while, this is not conducive to leading soldiers, right?"

"Hehe, Brother Li, you haven't brought a big soldier to do confidential work, so you don't have to worry about it, it's been like this since my master's master. Company Commander Zhang didn't answer Li Huan's words, but said, "Do you see if there are any other requirements? If you want that skeleton, I'll ask them not to use heavy machinery as much as possible." But I guess it's going to end up using heavy machinery, because depending on the depth of the pile, the bones could be about five meters underground—I guess if you hit something during the excavation, it shouldn't be a big problem, and you're just looking for clues on it anyway. ”

"It's not big, right?" Li Huan was also unsure: "Let's go, let's go over and have a look." ”

With that, the two of them walked towards the other end of the airport. According to the two soldiers, the place where the skeleton was found was at the end of the runway, which means that it was about 3 kilometers long. The two of them chatted as they walked, and if the content of their chat, if those sect cultivators outside heard it, they might be so angry that they vomited blood—how could it be called touching a little thing, and it was not a big problem?

You must know that it is a mirage bone, and it is now so rare that it barely appears again! Although it is still uncertain, as long as it is a little certain, if it is placed in the hands of a sect cultivator, it must be treated with caution. Because if this kind of thing is dug up once it is confirmed that it is genuine, then after all, it is sky-high, and it cannot even be described as sky-high, it is called priceless and marketable. If a mirage skeleton is successfully dug up, and a world of its own can be discovered, it will be absolutely priceless for cultivators, and even for many state agencies. If it can freely open up a world, how to put it, it is equivalent to having a new world. Although it's not sure for the time being whether the things in the world created by the mirage can be taken outward, it's already a very awesome existence. If you verify that the things of this world can be taken outward...... Doesn't that mean there's a new Earth?

Of course, this kind of thing is unlikely to happen, because no matter how powerful the mirage is, it is impossible to know a world again. If there is such a powerful mirage, the range of influence of its bones must be more than this ravine. Of course, since determining how this illusion was generated, many problems have also been solved, for example, Xiao Fei can't find any electromagnetic signals in this world, not because there are no people in this world, but because the world created by the mirage should not be so big. In fact, Li Huan's flight path In order to avoid those crowded areas, he had already entered a deep mountain and old forest, and a radius of about 100 kilometers in this deep mountain and old forest was inaccessible.

In other words, there may not even be a signal tower in this deep mountain and old forest, so Xiaofei will definitely not receive any electromagnetic signals. If this mirage is stronger and the world it creates is bigger, then Xiao Fei will definitely be able to receive some signals - some autonomous machines will still produce electromagnetic waves, and even if humans become extinct, some autonomous machines may operate on their own for hundreds of years.

Regardless, it's a treasure.
