Volume 5 Qinling Evil Ghost Chapter 476 The Origin of the Alien Form
The inner wall of the sarcophagus was also full of words.
But this time, although the text is still in traditional Chinese, it is almost vernacular. In addition, looking at the penmanship, it is obvious that it is not from the hand of one person.
The tail and left side of the sarcophagus are close to the stone wall, and the three of Tie Niuhuang and Dong Daoren can only stand at the head of the coffin. Although the words inside the coffin can be seen, they cannot be recognized.
So Tie Niu couldn't help but ask: "What is written on it, hurry up and read it!"
"The words in this coffin should be engraved by the demon girl in colorful clothes, she said that her name is Huang Caiyi, and she is ......" Xiang Aiguo said here and calculated the time a little, and then continued, "I met Dongfang Gongzi sixty years ago, and I also fell in love with Dongfang Gongzi at first sight, so I was brought to the fairy cave by Dongfang Gongzi." ”
"Sixty years ago, so this young demon girl in colorful clothes was almost eighty years old?" Huang Mingliang blurted out.
"It should be!" nodded to Aiguo, and continued while looking at the words inside the coffin, "She said that after she came to the Immortal Cave, Dongfang Gongzi also gave her two immortal pills, and helped her build a sarcophagus for use when she was sleeping and recuperating decades later. ”
"These people are really strange, even if they want to sleep and recuperate, why do they have to build a sarcophagus? They just make a wooden box, isn't it more comfortable to lie inside?" Dong Daoren said.
Bai Yang and Xiang Aiguo glanced at each other, and Bai Yang said: "Lying in the sarcophagus can give people a greater sense of shock! Do you think about what it would be like if someone entered the fairy cave and saw two wooden boxes in the cave, and there were two living and stunning beauties lying in the wooden boxes? I am afraid that not only will it not make people feel frightened, but it will make some evil villains have evil thoughts, right? But if you see two sarcophagi, what is the first thing that comes to your mind? Is it a beautiful woman? Or a dead corpse? As a result, when you open the coffin, you don't see dead bodies, but two living beauties, think about it, what it would be like?"
"It's going to scare the hell out of people!" Mr. Huang said.
"Yes!" Bai Yang nodded, "The man in black has not been in the fairy cave for many years, and although the fairy cave is hidden deep in the primeval forest, after all, someone actually came in three hundred years ago, I think the man in black has a sense of crisis from this, which will set up a lot of mechanisms, and the sleeping place of the two demon girls is also designed to look like a coffin." ”
- This is probably the main reason why those alchemists are all lying in coffins and sleeping. - Of course, Poplar didn't say that.
"What's written at the end, doesn't it mention that the suspected alien?" Iron Bull asked again.
"I mentioned that suspected alien later!" Xiang Aiguo replied, "It was said that this sarcophagus was originally prepared for a demon girl in colorful clothes surnamed Huang, but unexpectedly, the Republic of China ......"
Xiang Aiguo stopped again when he said this, and calculated the time in his heart for a while before continuing.
She is still using the concept of time in the 50s of the Republic of China here, and it is estimated that this old woman who has lived for more than 80 years is not very accustomed to using the Gregorian calendar time when she carves these fonts in the sarcophagus. However, according to her calculations in the past 50 years of the Republic of China, it should have been more than 20 years ago, Dongfang Gongzi suddenly brought back a very strange dried corpse from outside, and the sarcophagus originally prepared for her became the shelter of this dried corpse! And this very strange dried corpse is, of course, the suspected alien we saw!"
Xiang Aiguo stopped again when he said this, causing Huang Mingliang to ask: "Later, it won't be over here, right?"
"Later, it wasn't written by the demon girl in colorful clothes, I guess it was written by Dongfang Gongzi himself, not only in classical Chinese, but also in the Qin Li font that is difficult to read!" Xiang Aiguo said.
"Qin Li font?" Tie Niu blurted out, "I remember that most of the written records in the tombs of the alchemists we excavated are Qin Li characters. But the man in black is not from the Qin Dynasty, what Qin Li characters did he write?"
"I don't quite understand either!" Xiang Aiguo shook his head and turned his face to look at Poplar, "What do you think of Poplar?"
Bai Yang was slowly recognizing the few lines of Qin Li characters behind him, and when he heard Xiang Aiguo's question, he hurriedly raised his head and said: "According to my estimate, the demon girl in color and the demon girl in black must have repeatedly asked about the origin of the suspected alien, and the man in black did not tell them directly, but engraved this matter on the back of the words of the demon girl in black." The reason why he uses Qin Li's font may be because the two demon girls don't know Qin Li's character very well, and he deliberately let them slowly recognize it, which can be regarded as a little fun between them...... It is possible that at the place where the suspected alien was found, the man in black saw the written record of Qin Li's font. ”
The two reasons conceived by Poplar did not convince all the people present, but no one could come up with any other reasons but to nod their heads in agreement.
Tie Niu asked again: "Then what do these Qin Li fonts mean?"
"I haven't read this yet, so let's translate it to Senior Brother!" Bai Yang said.
"My research on Qin Lizi is also limited, why don't you translate it for Master Qiu?" said Xiang Aiguo.
Several people all looked at Master Qiu, but saw that Master Qiu had almost crawled into the sarcophagus inside, ignoring the words of Xiang Aiguo and others.
Xiang Aiguo and Baiyang had no choice but to lie down again, while identifying those Qin Li fonts, while pondering in their hearts what the meaning was.
Before he could finish reading it, Master Qiu straightened up first, looked puzzled, and said: "It's very unclear here, there is no doubt that the corpse is an alien, but the problem is ...... Since it's an alien, how can you say ......?"
He paused at this point, frowning and pondering.
"What the hell did you say, uncle?" Dong Daoren couldn't help but ask.
Master Qiu shook his head and didn't answer. It just so happened that Bai Yang and Xiang Aiguo also straightened their waists one after another, and several people immediately turned their faces to look at the two of them.
"What is written in the coffin, you can tell me!" said Iron Bull.
Bai Yang was speechless, and said to Aiguo: "This is said above, I ...... That is, Dongfang Gongzi, he dug up the body of this alien from a tomb of the Song Dynasty, and according to the written records in the tomb, the body of this alien was brought to the Song Dynasty by an earthling from the time of Qin Shi Huang. It's just that when it arrived on Earth, there was an accident, and the alien died on the spot, and the earthlings could only help it build a tomb and bury its body in the tomb. ...... I'm right, Master Qiu?"
Xiang Aiguo turned his face to look at Master Qiu, and Master Qiu nodded, but the doubts on his face were even thicker.
"You're right, but what does that mean? Earthlings...... Isn't it us human beings? But as far back as the Song Dynasty, did there be the concept of earthlings? Also, this earthlings brought this alien from the Qin Shi Huang period to the Song Dynasty, what does this mean? Could it be...... This is another person who has lived for hundreds or thousands of years after taking the medicine of immortality? But even if he took the medicine of immortality and was able to live from the time of Qin Shi Huang to the Song Dynasty, where did he get this alien?"
A series of questions made everyone look at each other.
Tie Niu tried to ponder it and said, "I just said it to Senior Brother...... There was an accident when he arrived on Earth, could it be that this alien had an accident when he arrived on Earth, and as a result, the alien spacecraft completely crashed, but the alien's body was picked up by an earthling?"
"Although it makes sense for you to say this, the text above clearly records that this earthling brought this alien from the Qin Shi Huang period to the Song Dynasty!" Bai Yang said, shaking his head again and again, "These two lines of text are so flat and straightforward, just like keeping a running account, there is no rhetorical embellishment, let alone any annotation! I guess...... Either the man in black himself didn't understand these problems, or he carved these words, originally playing with the two demon girls, and if the two demon girls had any questions, he explained them directly with his mouth. As for whether other people can understand it, it is not in his consideration. ”
Poplar's explanation once again made several people feel plausible but difficult to refute.
But now that the man in black fell into the abyss with the alien's corpse, and the two demon girls died thoroughly, these questions are difficult to have standard answers.
Several people were silent, and the whole person who was not willing to give up in Qiu lay down in the sarcophagus to watch. Others searched elsewhere in an attempt to find more text.
But it all turned out to be nothing.
However, Tie Niu suddenly raised a new question, and said: "Isn't there something strange? The demon girl in colorful clothes said that this sarcophagus was originally prepared for her, and then the man in black brought back the corpse of the alien, and the sarcophagus became the coffin of the alien! But why did the man in black lie in the sarcophagus inside, and the body of the alien was placed in the bronze box outside?"
"It's not difficult to explain!" Bai Yang quickly replied without thinking, "The man in black must have come back to the Immortal Cave to recuperate, and he has calculated that we will definitely come to the Immortal Cave to find him! And once you start to heal your injuries, you can't be disturbed and interrupted suddenly, because it will be easy to go crazy. So the man in black transferred the alien's body to a bronze box, and he lay himself in the innermost sarcophagus. Because no matter who enters the fairy cave, they will be 100% the first to check this extremely conspicuous bronze box! And once the bronze box is opened, they will inevitably be attracted by the alien corpse inside, so that the man in black has a time to slowly close his work. ...... Am I right, Master Qiu?"
At the end, Bai Yang turned his head to ask Master Qiu.
Master Qiu nodded and said, "Yes! If I am injured, I will also use exercises to heal my injuries." During the period, even if you encounter 100,000 urgent things, you need to have a process of retribution. ”
Although Master Qiu's ability is far worse than that of Poplar, it is because the potential in Poplar's body is stimulated by the immortal elixir and the golden python gall, and the strength and speed he possesses have exceeded the highest level that ordinary people can achieve in their lifetime cultivation.
But when it comes to martial arts attainments and internal cultivation, it is actually far inferior to Qiu's head poplar.
