Chapter 9: Dissecting the Divine Beast (1)

"Nine colors are also like four-winged angels?"

"According to the Qin Tomb Craftsman's Jian, there are many kinds of divine beast unicorns, one of which is the fire unicorn."

Qin Beiyang nodded again and again: "That's right, the nine colors will spray glass fireballs, never afraid of flames, and can protect me in the fire." ”

"The fire unicorn, also known as the 'winged unicorn', is one with wings. As for whether it will fly or not? Who knows? ”

Qin Beiyang remembered the Haneda Shrine behind the Shitennoji Temple in Osaka: "There are many unicorn statues in Japan, and some of them have wings. ”

"If there really were such animals, they would be extinct on the earth today!" Karl Holstein didn't dare to touch the Nine Colors again, "But twelve hundred years ago? Hard! ”

"Wait a minute, if it's a living thing, but I've never seen it drink or eat."

The doctor stared at the nine X-rays and said, "Have you seen microbes drinking and eating?" There are many ways in which life exists. You should notice that the stomach pouch of the nine colors is very small, basically degenerate, and the intestines are negligible. Its digestive system is unusual. ”

"It used to be a lifeform, but after becoming a young Qilin Town tomb beast, its energy was provided by spirit stones." Lao Qin pointed to the second heart of the nine colors in the X-ray film, "Like other tomb beasts, its energy is full at one time, and it can be used for thousands of years without being exhausted." ”

"Is the Nine Colors alive or dead?"

There was no need for the doctor to answer, Jiu Se put his two front legs on Qin Beiyang's body, his eyes widened, and the answer was obvious.

"And this ......," Holstein found two tumor-like pieces from the x-rays of his intestines, "I think I need a veterinarian to take a look." ”

"This is also a spirit stone!" Qin Beiyang recognized the shape of these two "tumors", "Dharma Mountain in the East China Sea, the spirit stone of the tomb beast of the evil dragon town." I slain the dragon, and the Nine Colors devoured its spirit stone. This is the third heart of the Nine Colors. The spirit stone of the tomb beast of Jin Toad Town was also eaten by it, which was the fourth heart. There are also Yoshino Ancient Tombs in Japan, the Boys and Girls Tomb Beasts of Xu Fudi Palace, the spirit stone more than 2,000 years ago, and the fifth heart eaten by Nine Colors. ”

But he can't divulge a secret - the boy and girl who guarded the tomb for Xu Fu are also living tomb beasts, and they are two children who take the elixir of immortality.

Regardless of whether immortality is scientific or not? But Nine Colors isn't the only lifeform in the world, the Tomb Beast.

"Nine colors have the quadruple power of the Ancient Divine Beast, the Young Qilin Town Tomb Beast, the Evil Dragon Town Tomb Beast, and the Boy and Girl Town Tomb Beast?" Qin Customs felt that the nine colors exuded a heat that made people burn to ashes, "This is the most powerful tomb beast that the Qin Clan's tombsmith clan has never seen in the past two thousand years. ”

"They come from four different eras: ancient times, Wu Zetian of the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Jianwen of the early Ming Dynasty, and Qin Shi Huang, spanning thousands of years! And what can I do? It turned out to be its new owner!? ”

Qin Beiyang grabbed the nine-colored mane, like the groom official on the night of the candles in the cave room, and touched the bride's hand for the first time.

The father calmly replied: "Because nineteen years ago, you were born in the underground palace of the White Deer Plains Tomb, and this small town tomb beast watched you be born. ”

"From the moment I was born, I was stained with the soul of the nine-colored tomb owner, the little prince of the Tang Dynasty?"

"What are you talking about?"

Dr. Holstein asked in half-baked Chinese. The Qin father and son communicated in fast Chinese, and the Swiss were confused. Lao Qin glanced at his son, don't reveal his secrets - otherwise, in the eyes of the doctor, Qin Beiyang, a big living person, will be a priceless treasure more important than the nine colors.

"We're analyzing the properties of the nine colors." Qin Beiyang simply went further and explained to the doctor in German, "You know the Chinese theory of yin and yang and five elements, right? ”

β€œMetall, Holz, asser, Feuer , Erde”

Holstein uttered five German words: "metal, wood, water, fire, and earth."

"It was perfect! The nine colors are both a young unicorn, a fire unicorn, and a winged unicorn. As the name suggests, the nine colors and five elements belong to fire. Qin Beiyang doesn't care if it's nonsense or crooked, "Wood gives birth to fire, fire gives birth to earth, earth gives birth to gold, gold gives birth to water, and water gives birth to wood, which is the birth of the five elements; Mu Ke earth, earth Ke water, water Ke fire, fire Ke gold, Jin Ke wood, this is the five elements of each other. ”

"You mean, the nine colors like fire and are afraid of water?"

"The fire unicorn is a pure masculine thing. But as a tomb beast, after all, it is a dark weapon in the tomb, and it is a natural yin thing, and it can't see the sun. Anyone who is in broad daylight is incapacitated. ”

The Doctor had fully believed Qin Beiyang's inference: "Well, it must be mechanized and new power factors other than the five elements of Yin and Yang can be added in order for the Tomb Beast to become an all-weather 'soul machine'. ”

"It's the same with the nine colors. It can only transform into a young Kirin Town Tomb Beast in the dark of night or underground. Outdoors during the day, it is either a burial object of a bronze sculpture or a large dog with a red mane and a white body, which does not possess any combat ability. ”

"As soon as you look at the teeth of the X-ray, you can understand that the life form hidden in the bronze shell is definitely not a canine, it is more like a herbivore."

"Also, the Nine Colors can't enter water, and it's not up to the task of being in a marine or river environment."

In fact, Qin Beiyang was deliberately highlighting the weakness of the nine colors. He didn't mention the East China Sea Evil Dragon Town Tomb Beast, the Nine Colors that devoured the dragon's heart, and may have overcome the problem of being afraid of water. Even if it is a bronze shell, it may not sink when it encounters water, just as all warships are now iron-hulled, and a submarine is also a steel can, not to mention a torpedo that shuttles at high speed.

Karl Holstein gazed at the small town gravebeast in fascination: "But in any case, the Nine Colors are the highest 'soul machine' found on Earth today, and it is a key to another world. ”

The doctor used scissors to remove a few white hairs from Jiuse's body and sent them to the laboratory of the University of Veterinary Medicine in Paris for laboratory analysis. The next day, the expedited test report returned to Versailles, and the results were still shocking, as Holstein expected-

These hairs belong to the class Mammals, the subclass Euzos, the Artiodactyls, and the suborder Ruminants......

As the name suggests, this is a species with the ruminant function of the stomach, which emerged from the late Eocene and flourished in the Miocene to become the most widely distributed, diverse and abundant hoofed animal. Under the order Ruminant there are cervidae, giraffe, mole, musk, pronghorn and horn, and this last one is commonly known as cattle.

Cervidae?

However, the test results confirmed that the nine colors were not red deer or sika deer of the genus Deer, nor were they of the genus Elk, nor were they of the genus Moose, and it did not belong to any of the known species.

Or rather, a species that has long been extinct on the planet.

Considering that it is still a young beast, if it grows to sexual maturity, I am afraid that it will be several times larger than its current size, maybe a giant animal like a giraffe?

This night, Qin's father and son still fell asleep. Nine colors lie under the bed, vigilantly protecting their master.

"Dad, I returned to Beijing Camel Village and finished reading "Qin's Tomb Craftsman", and it was indeed a strange book. However, I see that there are many missing pages in the book, and there are obvious hand-copying errors and omissions, is there still an original? ”

Lao Qin touched his son's hair and said, "Yes, it is true that our family has kept a copy for generations, but this copy is also unique. At the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, when the world was in turmoil, the Qin family settled in Xiangyang Gulongzhong. ”

"Xiangyang?" Qin Beiyang thought of the Three Kingdoms he was most familiar with, "Where Zhuge Liang Longzhong is right." ”

"It was a strategic location, and the Mongols invaded several times, and a great war broke out in Xiangyang that decided the fate of China. In order to prevent the Qin Tomb Craftsman from being damaged in the war, the ancestors of the Qin family decided to copy another copy by hand. At that time, the Qin family had two brothers, the elder brother was called Qin Jin, and the younger brother was called Qin Chu. ”

"That's an interesting name!" Qin Beiyang couldn't help but interrupt his father, "My brother is Qin Jinzhi's good, and my younger brother is Chao Qin Duchu!" It happens to be an idiom of the two Spring and Autumn Warring States periods! ”

"Listen to me, my brother Qin Jin kept the original and stayed in Xiangyang to guard the ancestral tomb. My younger brother Qin Chu carried a copy and fled down the Han River overnight to Jiangnanβ€”we are the direct descendants of this Qin Chu, and I am his twenty-third grandson. ”

Qin Beiyang had the excitement of finding his roots: "And I am the twenty-fourth generation!" ”

"Unexpectedly, our ancestor Qin Chu has just walked on the front foot. The Mongol army immediately slaughtered Xiangyang and sacked Gurungzhong outside the city, and his brother Qin Jin was captured, and his life and death are unknown. As for the original copy of "Qin's Tomb Craftsman", it has disappeared in the long river of history. ”

"So, many of the secrets about the Tomb Beast have become permanent mysteries with the loss of the original?"
