Chapter Forty-Nine: The Nine Ghost Demons
"In fact, the Night Pearl is not a gemstone at all, and its value cannot be compared with single crystal diamonds, rubies, sapphires, emeralds, jadeite, etc.
The reason why people have been full of curiosity about the pearls of the night from ancient times to the present day, which makes them full of a sense of mystery, is that there are many legendary records in ancient books, and the second reason is that they are simply because they 'shine'.
In fact, it is not magical that it will glow, not fluorescent stone that is classified in the category of 'night pearl' will glow, even manganese-containing cleavage, rare earth ore, barium-nickel ore, etc. will glow.
It's just that fluorescent stone night pearls emit fluorescence or phosphorescence after absorbing foreign light, and the light emitted by other minerals that can emit light is different. ”
Lu Wuyang explained to Li Yulan.
He added: "With the increasing development of science and technology, artificial night pearls are like artificial marble, artificial diamonds, artificial crystals, it has been very easy to manufacture, and the technology is also very popular. ”
"Then, is the light emitted by this night pearl harmful to our human body?" The timid Han Debang raised his concerns.
"I've heard people with relevant research experience say that man-made night pearls fluoresce when irradiated by strong radioactive sources, and some can remain luminous for three to five months or even a year. Many naturally occurring luminescent minerals are radioactive, so it is best not to be close or exposed to them for a long time if they have not been tested for radioactivity. ”
But everyone saw that although Lu Wuyang said this, he excitedly stretched out his hand and began to caress these strange glowing stones greedily without any scruples.
Everyone was a little amused by Lu Wuyang, a local rich man, who was a fan of wealth like a gold ingot, but he couldn't help but love the pearl of the night, and they all stretched out their hands and began to follow Lu Wuyang's example.
Li Yulan pulled out two night pearls from the huge stone pillar beside her, one was a green and verdant bead, and the other was as red as a blood-colored agate.
"It's so pretty!" Li Yulan couldn't put it down and couldn't help but admire.
And Su Laogui, Han Debang and others cut off some night pearls from the ground or stone pillars, while staring at them with wide eyes, observing, looking extremely excited, and Su Laogui simply stuffed the beads into the backpack behind him, which directly became a personal swallow, completely annotating the word "filling private pockets".
Just when everyone was attracted by these colorful fluorescent night pearls and seemed extremely excited, they heard a roar like a beast suddenly sounded, and the roar that vibrated the roof tiles made the entire "Metropolitan Palace" have an instant slight vibration, making everyone's eardrums hurt, and they were so frightened that they trembled for a while, and the night pearls in the hands of several people couldn't hold it, and fell to the ground all of a sudden.
The people who were fishing for the night pearl hurriedly stopped their movements and looked around in a panic, only to find that there had been a change in the entire "Metropolitan Palace".
The ground of the entire "Metropolitan Palace" is also
It is paved with large square bricks and stones, but these bricks and stones are different from those in the passage, and the square bricks and stones here are carved with intricate patterns and charm-like symbols.
In addition to these patterns and charms, there was also a hole in each brick, and after the beast-like roar just now, with a slight vibration from the ground, each brick made a "creaking" mechanical rotation sound, and then drilled a sharp iron spear tip from the hole in each brick, a foot long, and stood on the ground in such a cold and dangerous way.
Although the sharp tips of these iron spears are covered in rust marks, they are still sharp and hard overall, and can still be fatal to anyone who accidentally falls on them.
Although only one of these iron hair tips is drilled out of each masonry, the space of the entire "Metropolitan Palace" is very empty, and the ground is also very wide, so the iron spear tips on the entire ground have become a dense patch, which makes people feel a sense of danger and fear in an instant.
And these are not the point, what makes everyone most frightened and surprised is that at the end of these square brick floors covered with iron spear tips, in front of the innermost cave stone wall of the "Dudu Palace", there are several high cyan semi-circular stone steps, and along the stone steps, it is a large semi-circular arc platform, and there is a huge jet-black seat placed there on the platform.
This seat is full of cumbersome carvings and patterns, and at first glance it is a priceless and extraordinary chair, and on this black and shiny but very domineering seat, there is a tall corpse sitting upright slowly raising its head.
The reason why it is said to be a corpse, not a person, is because the corpse sitting on this chair looks like a corpse can only have characteristics, although he is tall, but it is shriveled and withered, and a cold look can detect the decay and dilapidated aura on its body, like a dry and hard zombie.
And in the "Immortal Beast Country" that has existed in the Valley of the King of Wei for more than a thousand years, according to Wei Baozhu, it has long been gone, and this "person" who sits in the throne-like seat and slowly raises his head can only list it in the ranks of zombies.
This seat was already very tall, but the corpse sat in the chair, even a head higher than the back of the chair, which shows that the height and volume of this corpse were very tall before his death.
When the people of the "Eight Immortals" expedition team, as well as the leader of the local armed forces who only had one person left, saw the huge corpse on this chair, in addition to shock and fear, they were also full of deep curiosity and admiration.
Because of the history of this "Immortal Beast Country" in the Valley of the King of Wei, it has been more than a thousand years, and this tall corpse sitting on the seat should be left over from the period of King Wei back then, or in the later days, but after all, it has also experienced at least thousands of years, but the clothing, accessories, and even his hair,
The eyebrows are still there, and there is no decay at all, so everyone is full of admiration and deep curiosity about the ancient embalming technology, why this ancient antiseptic technology can be so superb, this is really a magical thing.
I saw that this tall corpse slowly raised its head from the seat, its body was shriveled and withered, and there was not much flesh at all, it was simply what people usually called "skin and bones", the corpse had a long ponytail combed on its head, and tied its heavy, tight hair behind its head, and tied a belt with jewels on its forehead, and tied it around its head, but in addition, there was no tiara on its head, and no other headdress was tiar, which seemed too simple.
The corpse wore a blue-gray cloth robe, with some lace decoration on it, but not much, and on the outside of this cloth robe, a pair of armor was set on the upper body, and the outer side of the armor was shining gold, as if the armor was made of gold.
The lower body of this corpse should be wearing brown and black trousers, because it is very old, so it is impossible to judge what the original color is, and the outer part of the gown pants is a golden yellow shin guard with the same texture as the upper body armor.
On the feet of this corpse is a pair of walking cloud swallowing beast head combat boots, looking at the combination of this golden armor and powerful combat boots, I think that this corpse must have been a general in the army before his death.
What made people feel frightened was that this tall corpse, which slowly raised its head, stared at everyone with a pair of blood-red eyes, like the eyes of a hellish demon.
The nails on the hands of this tall zombie are already very long and curved, exactly the same as the nails of the zombie in the movie, and his right hand is now on the armrest of the seat, and his left hand is on the left armrest, holding a huge war knife with a short handle and a long body that hangs down.
There should be some lines on the blade of this sword, but because everyone is still far away from the throne-like seat on this platform, everyone can't see what the patterns on this knife are depicted. I just think it's very amazing that this war knife has gone through thousands of years, but there are no rust marks on it, it is still shiny and bright, and the cold light is compelling!
Presumably, this war knife must have been a divine blade that sharpened iron like mud and killed countless people.
And the roar like a beast just now must have come from this corpse sitting on the seat, and the roar alone was so powerful, so if this corpse broke out, then what would it do?
Everyone was terrified, and they all had a feeling of facing a great enemy.
Bai Yunfei shouted loudly, reminding everyone: "Everyone be careful, it is estimated that this is a big trouble!" ”
The timid Han Debang was already trembling with fright, and he stammered a little when he spoke: "This, this, this is a person, or is it a dead body?" Or the devil? Why is it so scary? ”
"Hey, let your baby say yes, congratulations to your baby for winning the lottery, this environment is no different from the Nine Hells, this is neither a corpse, nor a demon, this is a corpse demon!" When Su Lao Ghost shook off his profession to everyone, he didn't forget to scare Han Debang, and slapped the kid on the back of the head, making Han Debang, who was frightened, unprepared and frightened
"Plop" fell to the ground with a thud.
Han Debang was so angry that he was so frightened that his legs were weak because of fear, and as soon as he couldn't stand up, he simply sat on the ground and scolded Su Lao Ghost for being inhumane.
They were arguing with themselves, only to see the tall corpse demon in the seat in front of them raise his head, staring at everyone with his blood-red eyes, and then let out an even more high-pitched and majestic roar, which shook the entire space, like the wrath of the gods, which was not only terrifying, but also had an inexplicable sense of not daring to resist.
The members of the "Eight Immortals" expedition team, together with the leader of a local armed force in northern Myanmar, Bo Deqin, inadvertently broke into the "Governor's Palace", but were shocked to find the tall corpse demon in the huge seat on the hall.
And just when everyone was shocked and hesitated, the tall corpse demon in the seat raised his head violently, stared at everyone with his blood-red eyes, and then let out an even more high-pitched and majestic roar.
And with this thunderous roar, the tall corpse demon suddenly stepped on the ground with both feet, and a loud "Tong" sound resounded throughout the "Metropolitan Palace", and then he stood up from the seat, lifted the huge war knife, and waved a circle in the air, the war knife was radiant, and with the swing of a shining arc, the shining sword light emitted a frightening dazzling dazzling light and shadow, terrifying.
After the tall corpse stood up, people were amazed at his tall stature, and it was indeed as everyone had guessed before.
I saw that the corpse roared, and after waving the war knife in a circle, it suddenly moved forward, stretched out, and pointed straight at everyone.
