"What the hell is this?" Yun Zheng's always unwavering face also had a hint of anger.

"My teacher used to practice medicine everywhere and lived in a remote village in southern Xinjiang for a while." Yi Shen looked at the jade pillow and said in a deep voice, "The Miao people in that village, I don't know why, in the past two hundred years, they have all suffered from the disease of pre-aging and aging, and the newborns have different degrees of deformity, mutilation or dementia. Around the age of forty, he is like a sixty-year-old man. The Miao people of southern Xinjiang said that the village had been cursed by the evil gods, and they did not dare to contact the people or things in the village at all, let alone step in, and over time, the village became a taboo in southern Xinjiang. ”

"Is there such a strange thing in this world?" Yun Zheng frowned and said, "Did the commander find out anything?" ”

"Hmm." Yi Shen Chen nodded, "The family teacher found out that the symptoms of this village began two hundred years ago, so he tried to find out what happened in the village two hundred years ago, it turned out that two hundred years ago, this village once fell a boulder from the sky and fell on the hill near the village, the sorcerer in the village said that this is a divine stone gifted by God, and the stone is enshrined." Later, some people found that although the appearance of the stone was rough and ugly, but the color of the polishing was like jade, some people took the stone as ornaments, and it didn't take long for those who wore ornaments to age rapidly, people thought that they took the gods privately, angered the gods, and returned the jade ornaments to the boulder, and no one dared to touch the boulder without permission, but the people in the village still failed to get rid of the curse, people still gradually aged, and pregnant women also gave birth to deformed fetuses, for hundreds of years, the people in the village said that they hoped that the gods would forgive them as soon as possible, Free them from their hellish life. ”

"What kind of god's ancestral spell, this is obviously radiation!" I understood a little in my heart, and frowned and interjected.

"Radiation?" Yi Shenchen looked at me with a little surprise in his eyes, "Sister-in-law knows what's so strange about this stone?" ”

"It's a radioactive substance...... I paused, seeing that Yi Shen's expression was even more strange, how to explain this? I thought about it: "To put it simply, it is the decay of some substances, which emits rays that we cannot see or feel with the naked eye and can only be detected by special instruments. "I've missed terms like nuclei that I can't explain, and I'm going to say simply.

"What is a ray?" Yi Shen is really a curious baby.

"Rays are ......, and if you see the sun's rays, just think of it as that." I'm talking nonsense. Yi Shen asked, "How do you know it's radiation?" ”

"Did the Commander notice something wrong with that boulder?" I asked, and when I saw him nodding, I smiled, "Tell me how the Lingshi did it, and I will be able to judge." ”

"Hmm." The topic of easy to sink finally turned back, "The family teacher found that the degree of aging of each family is different, the houses close to the boulder mountain aging fast, and the pregnant households give birth to terticules, and the people who are far away from the boulder mountain have a slower aging time and fewer deformed fetis, so they suspect that the strange diseases in the village are related to the boulders, so they went to the mountain to take a few jade ornaments and took them out of the village for experiments." ”

"What were the results of the experiment?" I asked. Yi Shen said: "The tutor used several cages of mice for experiments, some cages put a piece of jade pendant, some cages did not put jade pendants, only put jade pendants a little away from the cages, and some cages were completely placed outside the wall of the number of temples very far away from the jade pendant. The results went through several experiments, and each time they came to almost the same result, the mice with jade pendants in the cage died very quickly, and the mice born by the mother mice were teratogenic; The mice whose cages are a little farther away from the jade pendant age more slowly, and the mice they give birth to are not all teratosus; Count the rats in the cage outside the wall, and everything is fine. From this, it was determined that the strange disease of the Miao people was indeed caused by the boulder. ”

Yi Shen sighed and said: "The family teacher, like his sister-in-law, does not believe in ghosts and gods, and is determined to find out the truth, but unfortunately he has spent his life and has not been able to find out what is strange about this stone. ”

I nodded and said firmly: "After listening to what you said, I am even more convinced that the meteorite that fell from the sky must have a strong radioactive substance, polluting the environment of that village, and these strange things happened." ”

"Meteorites? Contaminate? "It's easy to get into one question after another. I patted my head weakly and said with a smile: "That's not important, what matters is the harm of radioactive substances to the human body, under a large dose of irradiation, the victim will die quickly." If the dose of radiation is small, the person will not die immediately, but it often takes many years for some symptoms to manifest themselves, such as aging. Moreover, radioactive substances can also cause genetic mutations and chromosomal aberrations, damage the genetic material, and victimize generations or even generations, which is why those pregnant women give birth to teratogenes. ”

Yi Shenchen looked at Yun Zheng blankly with a look of surprise in his eyes: "Why can't I understand what my sister-in-law is saying?" ”

Yun Zheng smiled: "I don't understand either, I only hear that this stone is harmful." ”

I smiled awkwardly: "That's all I know, if you want me to explain in detail, I won't, in short, this is by no means a curse of ghosts and gods, you don't understand radiation, just imagine that this stone contains a colorless and tasteless poison, if you are poisoned, people will slowly age, pregnant women will give birth to teratogenes, and long-term direct contact will die quickly." ”

"And how did this radiation come about?" Yi Shen seemed to accept my statement, and said suspiciously, "How can you heal it?" ”

How do I answer this? Radiation is a product of modern society, nuclear waste, nuclear fuel, medical radiation pollution, as well as industrial and residential household appliances and consumer goods, etc., where was this thing in ancient times? It can only be an occasional visitor. "This ......," I said with great difficulty, "for example, some powerful zha medicine may produce radioactive substances after exploding, such as some ores, such as granite, which have radioactive substances, and some meteorites that have fallen from the world, and I don't know why they have radioactive substances." In short, the matter has changed. As for how to heal it, I'm sorry, I really don't know, the best way is to stay away from the radiation source, if the people in that Miao village move out earlier, maybe after a few generations will gradually become normal. ”

"I didn't expect that the family teacher couldn't find the answer in his life, and now he was broken by his sister-in-law." Yi Shen Chen stood up and gave me a salute, "Shen Shen is the family teacher and thank my sister-in-law!" ”

"Don't say that, I know very little, and I can't make any real difference." I pointed to the jade pillow in the brocade box and said to Yun Zheng, "What should I do with this play?" I don't dare bring it home, but it's an important piece of evidence, and it's best to find a proper place to store it away and destroy it when the matter is over. ”

"I'm measured." Yun Zheng asked Yun Xun to put away the brocade box, said goodbye to Yi Shen, and we got into the carriage and returned to the Hou Mansion. I leaned on Yun Zheng's shoulder and sighed: "Yun Zheng, how can people's hearts be so vicious?" If it weren't for the help of Black Dragon Jade, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to know the truth about the jade pillow for the rest of our lives. Now we know what happened in Fuyang Hall and the cause of Yao Guifei's death, and we also know that this jade pillow was given by Wei Xiang, but what is the mystery of Concubine Murong's death? The family of Murong Taifu has been wiped out, and there is no physical evidence at all. ”

"If there is no Black Dragon Jade, we may not know the truth about the jade pillow, but we may not be able to know what happened in the Fuyang Palace." Seeing that I looked at him in surprise, Yun Zheng smiled: "With the Yun family's intelligence network, when such a major event happened in the palace back then, there would always be some rumors, and when I said that I wanted to collect information about Concubine Murong, I had already asked Deacon Yin to transfer all the information about the abnormal events in the harem before and after Concubine Murong's accident eighteen years ago, and now we just need to wait for the information to be sent to us." ”

"What happened to the Pinxian Palace? Does the Yun family's intelligence network also know? "I looked at Yun Zheng in a daze, the first emperor obviously killed the palace people in the palace and wiped out his mouth, if the Yun family's intelligence network can still find out what happened, isn't it too terrible? What kind of force is this? No wonder the emperor would find Yun Zheng to investigate this case, is this a blessing or a curse for the Yun family?

"It's much better to know at least some superficial information and get a little clue than to guess on our own." Yun Zheng said softly.

I didn't want to say much, and suddenly remembered something: "By the way, where did you say that Wei Xiang got that jade pillow from?" How did he know that the meteorite could harm people? ”

"That's exactly what we're going to look into next." Yun Zheng smiled and muttered, "After all, this kind of strange thing has happened in that village in southern Xinjiang for more than two hundred years, and for so many years, it may not be only the master who knows how to find out that the meteorite is different, even if it is considered to be cursed by God, in short, knowing that the stone can harm people, it is very likely to be used by people with intentions." I will track down these details as soon as possible, the village in southern Xinjiang eighteen years ago someone went to take stones, and the carving of the jade pillow is also a clue, through which you can find the carving craftsman of the year, understand some of the situation, you have to believe, do anything, it is impossible to leave no traces. ”

That's the same, Skynet is magnificent, negligent but not leaky. In the spare time of waiting for the next step of information to be sent, the sneaky peeping eyes of the Cloud Mansion gradually disappeared, and I knew that Wei Xiang had basically cleared his suspicion of me. Then one day, the righteous steward brought a post, Lord Wei Xiang said that he was going to visit, I laughed, threw the post on the table, walked to the desk and wrote: "Ning'er, according to this menu, call the kitchen to prepare ingredients, I want to make a table of good dishes to entertain Wei Xiang!" ”
