Ge Zhuang and I hurriedly went to the inside of the coffin to take a look, thinking that there would be some strange treasures, but only a dried corpse fell in front of us.

The body of the dried corpse shrank, and he was only about a meter tall when roughly measured, of course, his real height should be more than that, presumably because the coffin was in magma, which caused the temperature to be overheated, and the water in the body evaporated and caused the body to wither. But what puzzled me very much was that in such a scorching magma, even if some of the heat was cut off by the coffin, at least hundreds of degrees Celsius, why could this corpse remain intact for thousands of years?

Ge Zhuang said, "Didn't the ancients like to soak the corpses with mercury to prevent the corpses from decomposing and deforming? I shook my head and retorted, "Otherwise, although a lot of mercury has been sprinkled in this coffin, but mercury is only found in the outer coffin, but the inner coffin is blank, and if there is mercury on this corpse, it will not work if it is placed in such a high temperature." ”

Anyone who has a little bit of trial knows that the nature of mercury is not stable, especially under the action of high temperature, it is easy to volatilize, so no matter how much mercury is poured into the corpse when it is buried, it is useless, and it will be burned by high temperature day after day, which will cause all the mercury in the body to volatilize, and it cannot achieve the effect of preventing the corpse from decomposing.

Uncle Liu saw that my analysis was quite reasonable, so he nodded and said, "You are right, this corpse is not rotten, it is not dependent on mercury, but the body structure of this person itself is different from ours. ”

"What do you mean by that?" I was stunned and asked rhetorically, "The body structure is different, don't you mean that people in ancient times have not evolved to the point where we are?" ”

"In fact, this body is not a human corpse at all." Uncle Liu's inexplicable words made everyone collectively fall into shock.

Not human corpses, what does that mean exactly?

Ge Zhuang took a closer look at the dried corpse, and said with a smile, "Uncle Liu, I think you are old and confused, although this dried corpse has shrunk and is very short, but the proportions of the body are no different from those of humans, the eyes are eyes, the nose is the nose, so when and that, why is it not a human being?" ”

Uncle Liu didn't speak, just smiled, looked back at Chen Yun, and said girl, what do you see?

Chen Yun walked over at this time, approached the dried corpse that had been placed in the magma for I don't know how many years, leaned down to look at it carefully, nodded and said, "The approximate body proportions are similar to those of humans, but it seems to be not quite the same as ancient Homo sapiens, either it is a natural deformity caused by genetic mutation, or...... Perhaps he is another species of humanity that has yet to be discovered by humans. ”

I asked Chen Yun rhetorically, how can I see it? Chen Yun paused, pointed to the huge head of the dried corpse and said, "Look at the ratio of his head to his shoulders, it is not similar to the unearthed Homo sapiens, and the forehead and cheekbones of the ancients are slightly more prominent than those of modern humans, but this part of his bones is just the opposite of Homo sapiens, and it can be preliminarily concluded that it should not belong to the same kind." ”

Ge Zhuang said, "Is it possible that this person was stoned to death?" That's why the skull of this dried corpse will be concave and deformed, the ancient people all have this kind of living habits, maybe this is their special beliefs and rituals? ”

Chen Yun was angry and funny, saying that the ancients were not stupid, let me tell you this, there were indeed stoning punishments in ancient times, but this kind of punishment was used to target traitors, or prisoners of other tribes, even if the wisdom of the ancient people was low, they always knew that it would hurt if a stone hit a person's head, think about it, if you were the highest status person in the group, would you allow the clansmen to smash stones on your head?

After speaking, she pointed to the coffin and said, "Being able to enjoy such treatment after death is enough to prove that this dry corpse has an extraordinary status before its death, except for the leader of the tribe or a wizard, it is impossible to enjoy such a high-standard treatment, how can such a person be stoned after death?" ”

I said I don't know, according to you, maybe this thing is really born like this, maybe it's a deformed product of a genetic mutation......

"Look at his fingers!" Before I finished speaking, Uncle Liu suddenly exclaimed again, pointing to the hands of the dried corpse flat on the navel and said, "Only four fingers!" ”

We hurriedly looked there, and upon closer inspection, we found that the dried corpse had only four fingers, and they were very slender, like the claws of an eagle, and the three fingers were more than five inches long, and only the thumb part was about the size of an ordinary person, but there was no bone joint, and it was a bone finger that went straight to the tail, which was very different from the human bone finger.

Chen Yun tried to explain, saying that it was also possible that the water and bone marrow in his body were steamed and roasted at high temperatures, which caused the phalanges to be deformed. Uncle Liu laughed and said, "Little girl, you don't say much, human finger bones are very hard, and the muscles may be contracted and deformed by high temperatures, but the bones are not, and besides, how can there be bones that are getting longer and longer, it is obvious that this corpse is so long before it was born." ”

I said, "You two, is it meaningful to talk about how many fingers the ancients had?" ”

Uncle Liu glanced at me, shook his head in disappointment, and said Why are you so stupid, what we are discussing is not the question of how many fingers there are, but the original identity of this dried corpse, he may not be us humans at all.

"Not human, what could it be?" I still couldn't accept this argument and retorted it. But Liu Bo and Chen Yun said in unison and said something that shocked me, "It may be an extraterrestrial visitor, that is, an alien." ”

Alien?

Ge Zhuang, Lao Zhong and the others looked at each other, and were stunned by these words, Ge Zhuang was the first to react, poking his teeth and smiling, "Haha, it's done, if this is really an alien skeleton, let's get it out, put it in the city museum, and sell tickets to visit every day, how much income can it create...... Ha ha! ”

I clubbed him with my elbow and eye, "You know money when you are fat, if it is really an alien corpse, it is worthless, five hundred yuan for a pennant, this business can't be done!" ”

"You see, he seems to have a third eye, too!" Chen Yun suddenly exclaimed again, stretched out his hand and pointed to the forehead of the dried corpse, we hurriedly went to see it, and found that it was indeed the case.

On the forehead of this alien head, there is an imperceptible line, which is covered by the wrinkled flesh on the skin, and it is very indistinct to look at, when Chen Yun put on gloves, gently stretched his fingers to the brain of the dried corpse, and slowly brushed away those muscle folds, sure enough, a vertical and long-looking eye, which has shrunk and withered to the point that it is not looking, like the meat raisins of Xinjiang, indicating that it has been carbonized, and it is a black crystalline structure.

"Oh my God, could it be that the Three-Eyed people recorded in the ancient books are from aliens?" None of us were calm, and Ge Zhuang exclaimed in surprise.

"It's not yet confirmed, and we can't think of him as an alien just because the corpse looks strange, but it's worth taking it back and studying it." Chen Yun carefully retracted his fingers, and as soon as he said that, we saw the skull of a dried corpse that had lost its support, and suddenly turned its neck to the side, and the neck "clicked", as if the cervical vertebrae supporting the shoulder and neck were broken.
