Chapter 170: Not Human (Second Update)
My heart tightened even more, remembering the situation when Aunt Xue used the secret method of the Feng family to suppress the corpse demon in Huangjialing before, and the corpse demon finally turned into a white bone skeleton and almost shattered.
That corpse demon is also a lackey of the demon god, and so is the owner of this ancient coffin, could it be that this corpse is also a corpse demon, and he has come back to life, right?
No, probably not. If it was really the corpse demon who came back to life, this bespectacled boy shouldn't have been alive, he should have died a long time ago.
Professor Liang on the side habitually opened his mouth to reprimand: "What does a frizzy person look like?" What the hell is going on, hurry up. ”
The boy with the eyes opened his mouth, probably unable to think of how to describe and describe, and finally stomped his foot: "Teacher, you better see it with your own eyes." The bones were so weird that I suspected they weren't human. ”
Professor Liang and I looked at each other again, and Professor Liang greeted me with a wry smile: "Ji Zang, come with us to have a look, now there is no you by your side." I really don't dare touch the contents of this ancient coffin. ”
Dean Sun and Sun Chao also followed, obviously curious about the abnormality of the corpse bones.
In fact, archaeology students are half forensics, of course, half smaller. At least in terms of identifying human bones and some causes of death, it is almost as good as ordinary forensics.
Because archaeology often has to infer the situation at that time from the bones in the tomb, such as the wear and tear of the teeth, you can infer the living environment of the tomb owner.
Blunt and sharp injuries found on the bones can determine the true cause of death of the deceased, rather than a historical cover-up.
For example, experts have used modern technology to conduct a poison test on the hair of the Guangxu Emperor, and found that the arsenic in the body of the Guangxu Emperor was seriously exceeded, that is, he died of chronic poisoning by arsenic, and someone poisoned him.
The eyed boy is a veteran of the bone examination, so he must be right when he says that there is a big problem with the bones.
When we walked out of the basement and into a room that had been set aside for the archaeological team, I entered the door and saw the bones that had been cleared out and laid out on a white cloth.
At a glance, I discovered the problem of the bones - because compared to these archaeologists, I am a real medical student, looking at human bone specimens, no less than a thousand times, I can understand at a glance whether there is a problem with the bones.
At a cursory glance, the bones of the corpse do look like human bones, and they are unrecognizable to ordinary people who have not studied medicine, but in the eyes of us professionals, they are as obvious as lice on the bald head.
Although human beings are the primates of all things and the rulers of the earth, in fact, human beings are not perfect in evolution, and it can be said that they are very failures.
Because many parts of human beings are very fragile, such as the fragile cervical vertebrae. Fragile temples, as well as nose bones and eyes that are extremely vulnerable.
These vulnerable places, as long as you master the skill and use the strength of ordinary people, are enough to kill a human being, whether it is chiseling a fragile temple, or crushing a nose bone with an elbow, punching them into the victim's brain, or twisting a human cervical vertebrae, you can quickly kill a person.
Therefore, the killer does not need to be powerful, he only needs to master the skills, and a seemingly weak woman can easily kill a man in the prime of life.
These human weaknesses, no matter how much you exercise, cannot be changed, because the structure of the bones makes them absolute weaknesses of human beings.
This is something that every medical student must understand, because these human weaknesses can let doctors know when a patient is critical.
For example: A punch on the bridge of the nose may not cause much trouble for many people, but in fact, cerebrospinal fluid may flow out of the nasal cavity if it is not treated in time. Brain infections and injuries can kill the injured.
As for the skeleton in front of him, his head does not look like a human skull, it looks more like a gorilla's skull, the bone at the temple is quite thick, and the position of the nasal bone is not empty. Rather, it is protected by bones.
What's even more weird is that on both sides of his cervical vertebrae, there are actually two bones growing to protect the fragile cervical vertebrae.
Professor Liang was stunned at first when he saw the placement of the bones. Then he reprimanded: "How do you mess up the bones? ”
The boy with glasses said with an aggrieved face: "Teacher, it's not me messing around, this bone is originally there, after I opened my clothes, I thought there was a problem." Carefully corresponds to the interface of the bones, where there are more bones. ”
This is strange, is the owner of this ancient coffin really not human? I carefully examined the bones laid out on the white cloth, and found that the bones of the limbs and the spine of the bones were so thick that even the ribs were thicker than the bones of ordinary humans.
Indeed, as the glasses boy said. This guy's skeletal structure is a bit beyond the scope of ordinary humans, it is more like a thickened and strengthened version of a human, and a human with armor in a key position.
"Ji Zang, you are an expert in this area, do you know what is going on?" Professor Liang asked with a wry smile.
I can understand his feelings. I thought I had discovered a major archaeological breakthrough, but I didn't expect to encounter a supernatural event, and I was entangled by monsters, not to mention, and finally found a skin painting in the ancient coffin that could not be announced to the public, and in the end, even the owner of the tomb may not be a human. It's monsters.
It would be strange if he could be happy, now he has completely extinguished the idea of making meritorious contributions, and just wants to deal with this matter quickly.
"Professor, where I'm an expert, I just have a little more things than you. I think. This thing should still be human, at least it should be the same as a human in appearance, and I can't say what it really is, but it's better to burn it, and it might be a scourge to keep it. ”
"Okay, it's all up to you." Professor Liang let out a long sigh, obviously disappointed, and then added, "What about the other things in the coffin?" Do you want to burn it together? ”
"I'll talk about it when I've seen it first."
If I hadn't found those animal skin paintings, I might have burned the coffin. However, the change in the animal skin painting now shows that the owner of this coffin is likely to be an important role in the resurrection of the demon god, and it is very necessary to find some information from the coffin.
Confessed to the bespectacled boy and asked him to pack the bones into a bag. After taking it out for incineration, a few of us went back to the basement, ready to check what had been found in the coffin.
Leather paintings, of course, must be burned, even if they have no effect. I'm going to burn them too, because I don't feel comfortable looking at the demon god who looks exactly like me on the screen.
The bones and clothing will also be burned together, as the bones will most likely be corpses or something.
Then there was the partition that had been placed under the bones. This partition is a wooden board with a thickness of about five centimeters, and the workmanship is very fine. The surface is smooth, the only problem is that the surface is stained.
The stains were left on the corpse after it had decomposed, and when I saw what seemed to be a pattern underneath the stain, I picked up a tool shovel and scraped it directly at the stain.
The stain was scraped open, revealing a painting very similar to that of animal skins, depicting a stretch of mountains, with a strange-looking mountain in the center, a large natural stone pillar on the top, and a hidden hole looming under the waterfall at the foot of the mountain.
Obviously, this is a landscape painting.
It's just that why do you paint an ordinary landscape painting on this partition? You must know that in this ancient coffin, there is nothing useless.
What the owner of this ancient coffin left behind, whether it is a mask. Or animal skin paintings, all related to the demon god, the landscape paintings on this partition, there is no reason to paint casually.
Could it be some kind of treasure map? Or is there a secret of the demon god hidden in the cave?
That's when it happened. Professor Liang's mobile phone suddenly rang with a WeChat prompt, and after he picked it up and looked at it, he was immediately stunned: "Ji Zang, look, is this exactly the same?" ”
I glanced at the photo posted on WeChat, and I was dumbfounded, because the photo was exactly the same as the landscape painting on the partition, as if it had been directly changed color and tuned out by software.
"Where did you get this picture? Who sent it to you? ”
