Chapter 363: Dust Beads
Ghost blows the lamp world, Pan homeland.
After the three of them returned to Beijing from Gulan County, they never went to other places, and they have been doing their own small business.
Beijing in the summer is like a smoldering furnace, and the three of them are listless when they sit in the store.
Hu Bayi also fell asleep directly on the chair.
I don't know what kind of dream Hu Bayi had, he actually drooled.
Just then, Shirley Young walked in through the door.
Shirley Yang looked at Lin Chen and the fat man, and then wondered where Hu Bayi, who was usually with them all the time, had gone.
Just when she was about to ask, she saw Hu Bayi sleeping on the recliner next to her.
Shirley Yang chuckled, looked at Lin Chen and the fat man a little strangely and said, "Yo, I didn't expect that our Captain Lao Hu would drool when he sleeps, it's rare, it's rare." β
Lin Chen smiled and didn't speak.
The fat man's words knew that Hu Bayi had always been interested in Shirley Yang, and he didn't say anything.
Shirley Yang walked over and reached out and pinched Shirley Yang's nose.
Within a few seconds, Hu Bayi was moving, perhaps because he felt that he couldn't breathe, so Hu Bayi made a move that most people would do when they were drowning.
That is to reach out and scratch randomly, commonly known as blind a few handfuls of chaos.
Shirley Yang was standing in front of Hu Bayi, this catch was terrible, and it happened to be caught on Shirley Yang's chest.
Frightened, Shirley Yang quickly let go of her hand and took a few steps back.
"Hahaha"
The fat man couldn't straighten up with a smile in the back, and he couldn't imagine that Lao Hu would fall asleep and have this kind of glamorous blessing.
Hu Bayi also regained consciousness and woke up when he caught Shirley Yang.
Hu Bayi rubbed his eyes, and then looked at Shirley Yang not far in front of him suspiciously.
I don't seem to believe that this is true, after all, Shirley Young had returned to the United States before, and how could he come to him when he was sleeping.
But at this time, Hu Bayi heard the fat man's whisper, and when he looked back, he saw the fat man lying on the table, already laughing.
Lin Chen also smiled, then looked at Shirley Yang and said, "Miss Shirley Yang, I don't know what you came to us for this time?" β
The three of them have gone through life and death together with Shirley Yang, so they can be regarded as friends in distress.
Shirley Yang took a look and found that there were three Lin Chen in the store, and then walked over and closed the door of the store.
Closing the door, Shirley Young talked about the red spots.
Anyway, that red spot also appeared on Shirley Yang's body, and then he came to discuss the solution with the three of them.
Hu Bayi told Shirley Yang about the conversation between the three of them and Professor Sun when they were in Gulan, and Shirley Yang nodded, this Professor Sun knew something about this, and most likely it was the famous Sun Yaozu.
However, Professor Sun did not give a specific explanation, so Shirley Yang did not ask, but said: "I have found some eyebrows in the United States about the erythema, do you remember the prophet Apocalypse in the Zagrama Mountains?" As mentioned above, one of our five survivors is a descendant of the Prophets, and that person is indeed me. My grandfather died when I was seventeen years old, and he left so suddenly that he didn't say anything. On this trip back to the United States, I looked through some of his relics, including a notebook, and found many amazing clues that fully proved the authenticity of the prophet's book of revelation. β
"It's true that this red spot is not a curse, but it is more troublesome than a curse. Deep in the Taklamakan Desert, Mount Zagrama, under the black mountain, there are countless secrets buried, perhaps really the same as the name of the mountainβββ "Zagrama" means "mysterious" in the ancient Wei language, and some people interpret it as "sacred mountain", in short, it is difficult for mortals living around Zagrama to perceive the mystery.
In ancient times, there was a nameless tribe known as the "Sages", let's just call it the "Zagrama tribe". The tribesmen migrated from the distant European continent and lived in the Zagrama Mountains for an unknown number of years, until people inadvertently discovered a bottomless ghost cave in the belly of the mountain. The sorcerers of the clan told everyone that in the ancient East, there was a golden jade eye that could see the truth of the ghost cave, so they imitated the same jade eyeball and used it to worship the ghost cave, and from that moment on, bad luck befell the tribe.
Since then, the Zagrama tribe has been abandoned by the gods, and the sage who is the leader of the tribe believes that this must be related to the "ghost cave", and once the door of the disaster is opened, it will be difficult to close it again. In order to escape these terrible disasters, he had to abandon his homeland where he had lived for many years and migrated to the far east, gradually integrating into the civilization of the Central Plains.
What is the so-called "calamity"? From the current point of view, it seems that it can be said that it is a kind of radiation, and anyone who approaches the ghost cave will have an eyeball-shaped red patch on his body after a period of time, which cannot be eliminated for life.
People who develop this type of erythema will gradually reduce the amount of iron in their blood after the age of forty. The reason why human blood is red is because the blood contains iron, and if the iron in the blood slowly disappears, the blood will gradually become viscous, the oxygen supply will also decrease, and it will become more and more difficult to breathe, and finally by the time of death, the blood has turned yellow.
Although their offspring will not inherit this erythema, they will still develop iron deficiency and, like their ancestors, die in extreme agony, leaving their homeland. After migrating to the Central Plains, they discovered a pattern after several generations of observation, the farther away from the ghost cave, the later the onset of the disease, but no matter what, this symptom always exists, generation after generation, and the pain of dying is unspeakable, and no words are enough to describe the pain of blood turning yellow and coagulated.
Shirley Yang spoke sparsely for almost an hour, telling the story of a mountain movers, the experience of a partridge whistle.
Partridge Whistle knew that the dust beads in the world could restrain this red spot, so he resolutely searched for the dust beads, but he didn't find them until he died.
Partridge Whistle is the father-in-law of Shirley Yang's father, so Partridge Whistle's experience and regrets and Shirley Yang's father know about it.
Therefore, after Shirley Yang's father knew the symptoms caused by erythema, in order to save his descendants, he resolutely set up an expedition to go to the exquisite ancient city.
But I didn't expect that there would be no trace of this time.
The biggest reason why Shirley Yang invested in the archaeological team to go to the Exquisite Ancient City was to find her father, and the second reason was that she couldn't find a solution to this curse.
After all, she is also a direct blood relative of Partridge Whistle, and if she doesn't find a solution, she will most likely die early.
Shirley Young learns from the prophet Apocalypse in the sacred mountain of Zagrama that she may be a descendant of the Zagrama tribe, so she starts a series of in-depth investigations into it, and the more she learns about the fate of the past, the more she realizes that the bottomless cave is far more complicated than she imagined. At present, the understanding of ghost caves is not even the tip of the iceberg.
And Shirley Yang also found the most important thing, that is, the heterogeneous dragon bone in the Tongtian Great Buddha Temple in Blackwater City, no one can read the foreign text on it, the only thing that can be confirmed is that the keel is engraved with many eyeball symbols, the special shape is exactly the same as the jade eyeball broken in Xinjiang and the crimson trace that grows on the back.
Shirley Yang said that if she could decipher the eyeball symbol on the keel, she might be able to find the dust beads, and then she would be able to solve the red spots.
