Volume 1, The Lost Valley Blood Tree Chapter 38, Ancient Corpses Suddenly Appear
Boom...
The rusty lock on the iron door on the left was cut off by Yang Lixuan with a shot, and it was directly kicked open, and the inside was pitch black.
Holding a flashlight, he quickly swept around, and found that there were no Dementor rats inside, so everyone quickly hid in and closed the door tightly.
Boom......... Knock knock......... Boom......
The sound of crashing outside the door was endless, and the rats were frantically banging on the iron door, but fortunately, this door was still strong, and the doors and windows above it were welded with a layer of iron sheets, so there was no need to worry too much about the dementors outside getting in.
casually pulled a nearby table against the door, and the glass bottle on it fell to the ground and crackled to the ground. After taking a short breath to make sure that the rats outside could no longer enter, they nervously glanced around the room.
After killing a few dementor rats that were scurrying in, everyone held their flashlights and carefully probed every corner of the room. The air was filled with the smell of sulfur after the explosion of gunpowder, mixed with an unpleasant stench and blood.
It appears to be a herbarium, with rows of tables and iron shelves on which large and small glassware are placed.
Picked up a small bottle on the table and took a photo, at first glance he thought it was empty, Chen Tao looked carefully for a long time before noticing that there was a small black dot the size of a grain of rice in the potion.
He picked up a few more and looked at them, "These few on the table seem to be specimens of different growth periods of black worms."
"It's not just bloodthirsty black bugs, but also the vines and dementors!" Yan on the other side said.
At this time, there was a glass jar the size of two heads of ordinary people in his hand, and there was a black long-haired giant rat inside.
"It seems that the dead Japanese don't know everything......" Uncle Long said as he looked at the glass jars.
"There are a lot of jars on the shelves behind here, are they all mice?"
Chen Tao was curious, and held up his flashlight to check one of them, although he was already prepared in his heart, he was still taken aback.
Inside the bottle was a severed hand, covered with large and small bumps. After so much time, the antiseptic liquid in the bottle has turned a little yellow, and the severed hand inside looks a little white.
Chen Tao raised his head and glanced at other places, and roughly estimated in his heart, there were hundreds of such bottles in this herbarium!
"How many people have been arrested, these Japanese devils!" The mountain ghost scolded hatefully.
"These are the samples they left behind after experimenting with bloodthirsty black worms!"
Just when everyone was looking at the glass jars in front of the house, Boss Zhang didn't know when he had run to the back of those shelves.
"I'm top! There's a thousand-year-old salted fish here! ”
"I'm top! There is a thousand-year-old salted fish here! Boss Zhang's voice came from the back of the shelf.
"What? Salted fish? At first, Chen Tao didn't react, and thought that there was really a salted fish there. After a while, it dawned on me that Boss Zhang was talking in black words, there was an ancient corpse in that place, and it was a thousand-year-old corpse!
Since there are ancient corpses, the meaning contained in them is extraordinary. A flash of joy flashed on everyone's faces, and they quickly walked towards the direction where Boss Zhang was.
"This old fat man is really neat, we are still entangled here, how did the goods run there?" Haozi muttered in Chen Tao's ear.
"It's not profitable, it's too early! I guess he's taken this place around in circles! Chen Tao said with a look of disdain.
"That's a well-known profiteer on the road, do you think he'll take care of those useless specimens like we do?" The mountain ghost came up and joined the conversation in a whisper.
"Oops, hey, hush! Enough of you, don't make trouble for me. Mountain ghost, why are you on this tiger with these two melon skins? Uncle Long glanced at the three people who were complaining, and he didn't have a good air.
Hearing the sound, Chen Tao and Haozi looked at the mountain ghost hehe Zhile, the mountain ghost was a little embarrassed, scratched his head and laughed dryly.
"It's strange that there aren't even vines around this specimen room...... "Uncle Long said as he looked around.
At this time, everyone noticed that compared to other rooms, this specimen room was so "clean"!
"They painted on the walls and on the ground to keep out the vines and rats." Yang Lixuan wiped the wall with his hand, twisted his two fingers, put them under his nose and sniffed lightly.
Hearing this, Chen Tao also followed Yang Lixuan's example and wiped it on the wall, raised his hand to see it, but there was nothing, and he couldn't help muttering in his heart: "Is this person a dog?" It's all there. ”
Bypassing the back of the shelf where Boss Zhang was, I saw two huge square glass cabinets like coffins parked in the corner.
One of them was a complete male corpse, naked and soaked in embalming fluid, the skin of the corpse was covered with large and small pimples, and the flashlight looked a little scary when it looked at it.
The other was tall, with a waxy yellow skin, long hair draped down his shoulders, and a pair of tattered armor. There are still a lot of mottled rust on the armor, and you can still see the remnants of black cloth underneath, looking at it from a distance, it looks extremely incongruous with everything around it.
Chen Tao was no stranger to that outfit at all, it was the style of the Qin Dynasty.
Those who have watched the historical dramas of the Qin Dynasty may have noticed such a phenomenon, from the princes and nobles to the common people, and even the miscellaneous slaves all wore clothes with black as the main color.
The ministers above the court are all black court clothes, and even the decoration style of the court is different from the gold and splendor of other countries, but the main color is black. The people of the Qin State seem to have a strong black-complex.
Among the many dynasties in Chinese history, the Qin Dynasty was the one that Chen Tao was most interested in. When he was in college, Chen Tao had done a project about the Qin Dynasty and had some understanding of the Qin Dynasty.
In real history, the people of the Qin State did like black, and there is a reason why the Qin people are still black.
There is such a record in the "Hanshu Legal Chronicles" compiled by historians of the Eastern Han Dynasty: "Now Qin changed to Zhou, when the water was deed. Xiwen Gong went out hunting and won the black dragon. This is the water of Lourdes. ”
It means that in the early years, when the old man Qin Wen went out hunting, he once caught a black dragon, which is the symbol of water virtue among the five elements.
Therefore, the rulers of the Qin state considered themselves to be water virtues, so they admired water. And in the five elements, the corresponding logo color of Shuide is black. Therefore, from the beginning of the Qin State during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period to the Qin Empire, which dominated the world, black was admired.
Another reason is that in ancient Chinese culture, black was the symbol of the north, and the ancestral land of Qin was located in the northwest.
According to the records of the "Historical Records of Qin", the ancestors of Qin originally lived in a place called "West Dog Hill", and later were granted a fief for their meritorious work in herding horses, became a vassal of Zhou, and were able to establish the Qin State, which is called "West Dog Hill", which belongs to the northwest land.
When I got closer, I saw that Boss Zhang was sticking to the ancient corpse through the glass, and the gas mask was taken off. At this time, he looked at the outfit on the corpse with bright eyes, and his mouth kept smacking, and he saw that saliva was about to flow on the glass roof outside.
"Oh yes, I'm going to have a lung! This is an ancient corpse of the Qin Dynasty! Boss Zhang's hand touched it through the glass, and his mouth kept chattering,
"It's so complete, and this armor, tsk, tsk, it's amazing! Just taking out this corpse has already made money, and now it's developed! ”
"Still take the corpse, aren't you afraid that it will swallow you alive?" Yan teased on the side.
"Forehead......" Boss Zhang stopped chattering, glanced at the ancient corpse in the glass cabinet very seriously, and said: "Soak for so long, it shouldn't be......"
"I advise you not to touch it. The feng shui here is extremely weird, and the wood is not like words. With such a heavy anger, there must be a place of extreme yin death hidden here. Uncle Long looked at the ancient corpse inside.
"This salted fish is fine in a glass case, completely isolated from the outside world, and the breath of a living person will not affect anything. If it's outside, once such a thousand-year-old salted fish is corpsed, we all have to stay here! ”
Boss Zhang was silent, his face was not distempered, he glanced at the ancient corpse in the cabinet a few times, his eyes were dripping, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
"Okay, anyway, the ancient corpse has been found, and there must be a hole in the back. Ah...... I knew it wouldn't be in vain! ”
Looking at the smiling look on Boss Zhang's face, Chen Tao couldn't help but complain in his heart: "The true nature of a capitalist who is evil! This mercenary old fat man doesn't know what kind of fart he's holding back. ”
"Huh? That's not right......" Chen Tao was surprised.
"What's wrong, what do you want to say?"
"This person should be a soldier of the Qin Dynasty, but it's just ......" Chen Tao looked at the turquoise rust stains on the armor of the ancient corpse with some confusion and said, "Shouldn't the equipment of ordinary soldiers be so sophisticated?"
