As soon as the fat man shouted, everyone was attracted to him again, and when they came to him, they all picked up some round beads from the ground.

Gao Chao also picked up one and looked at it, and found that this bead was dirty and abrupt, without half a bit of luster, and then felt the weight of this bead, it seemed to be made of some kind of wood.

So he snorted and said: "Fatty, you think too much, this is the 'turnaround' of some wood, the beads from the car, even if it is Hainan Huanghuali, it is not worth a few dollars." ”

However, Liu Blind on the side took the beads and put them on his nose to smell them, and suddenly said: "This bead smells a strange fragrance, I seem to have smelled it somewhere, and looking at the hardness of this wood, it looks like a thousand-year-old sandalwood, is it ......?"

Blind Liu suddenly shook his spirit and said, "If my guess is correct, is this the legendary Peacock Town Corpse Pill." ”

Xia Qing was stunned for a moment and said, "This is the Peacock Town Corpse Pill?" ”

Blind Liu exclaimed, "Miss Xia also knows this kind of thing?" ”

Xia Qing nodded and said, "I used to be in ...... I have seen the relevant records in a certain notebook, it is said that this kind of peacock town corpse pill is produced in the ancient country of Peacock City in the Western Regions, Peacock City is surrounded by a hundred miles full of a strange sandalwood tree, the world calls it Peacock Sandalwood, legend has it that this kind of Peacock Sandalwood can not grow a ring of annual rings for a hundred years, the thousand-year-old Peacock Sandalwood, but also only a hug thickness, so this kind of Peacock Sandalwood is very rare, and it is also very precious, and later someone found that this kind of sandalwood is used to make a wooden coffin, and the corpse is placed in it without any embalming can not be dissolved for thousands of years, so it began to be cut down on a large scale, Peacock sandalwood was left for a while. ”

She continued with some regret: "Fortunately, the king of Peacock City asked the tree to be guarded. No more indiscriminate logging. This is how this rare peacock sandalwood has been preserved. But later on the rise of the Western Regions powers, some people actually started a war because of this sandalwood tree, Peacock City lacked military strength, and had to be slaughtered, and in the end, Peacock Villas disappeared from history forever. ”

Everyone sighed with emotion when they heard this, and sighed that even if God left more wealth to mankind in this world, it would eventually be consumed by mankind itself. Thinking of this, Gao Chao was helpless in his heart.

Xia Qing continued: "Later, this kind of peacock sandalwood also disappeared, and the legend is that because it is too precious, the descendants made the peacock sandalwood into a spherical corpse pill, which not only saves wood, but also serves the purpose of making the corpse not melt for thousands of years, this is the origin of the peacock town corpse pill." ”

"Good!" After listening to Xia Qing's explanation, Blind Liu couldn't help but admire, but continued in a strange manner: "What Miss Xia said is not bad at all, I don't know whose notes you saw these materials from." ”

Xia Qing almost said it before. Say Xia Qiu's name, and now Liu Blind asks like this. She was amazed and didn't know what to do.

Gao Chao saw that Xia Qing was embarrassed, and he had an idea, and hurriedly said: "How can such a precious thing appear here, and it is still thrown in the corner, this is too illogical, right?" ”

Xia Qing borrowed the words and hurriedly said: "Yes, such a precious Peacock Town Corpse Pill is probably more valuable than gold and diamonds, and it is really incomprehensible to throw it aside in a pile like this." ”

Liu Blind smiled, wiped his goatee, and said leisurely: "Although the corpse suppression pill is precious, if there are more, it will not be valuable, isn't this an obvious truth?" ”

Liu Blind said something amazing, Xia Qing was puzzled, and dared to answer: "Professor Liu, how do you say this?" ”

Liu Blind said: "You must know that if you want to understand the value of something, you must first bring it to the era at that time, so that the analysis will make sense." ”

Xia Qing nodded and said, "Professor Liu is right, the students have been taught. ”

Blind Liu seemed to be even more proud, and said: "Three or four thousand years ago, the Western Regions could be described as many city-states, and in some places, thirty or fifty miles away, it would cross three or four nameless small countries, but later one country sprung up here and became the most important civilized country in this Gobi. ”

Xia Qing's eyes lit up and said, "Are you talking about the ancient kingdom of Loulan?" ”

Blind Liu nodded and said, "The son can be taught, it is the ancient country of Loulan." ”

He put his hands behind his back, as if he was teaching, and continued: "The ancient kingdom of Loulan was one of the important cities in the world four thousand years ago, and even the most powerful Roman Empire at that time did not dare to rashly despise it, so for such a powerful Western Regions Empire, wouldn't it be a trivial matter to make some peacock sandalwood to make a corpse suppression pill?" ”

Xia Qing nodded and said, "There is some truth, but why are they so wasteful?" ”

Blind Liu snorted and said, "This is your layman......"

Xia Qing's face suddenly turned red when Liu Blind said this, you must know that she is a top student majoring in archaeological science at Oxford University, how can she be insulted like this.

However, Xia Qing looked calm and calm, and just nodded and said, "Professor Liu, please speak." ”

The corners of Liu's mouth rose slightly, and he said: "At that time, many city-states in the Western Regions were closely related to Persia and India, and many customs and habits between them, and even language and religion, were also very similar, so if you want to study some of the living customs of the ancient country of Loulan, you naturally have to learn from the characteristics of the ancient Persian Empire and India. ”

Xia Qing seemed to be in a trance, and Liu Blind continued: "Ancient Persia and India, these countries, have a habit, or a bad habit, their countrymen from top to bottom, are like to live an arrogant and lascivious life, and have never known introverted, to put it bluntly, they are particularly fond of showing their love, very afraid that others do not know how rich they are, for example, in order to show their wealth, the king of ancient Persia even ordered people to build four large chests of pure gold, and then put all the gold, silver and jewelry into these four boxes, He refused to stop until he couldn't even close the lid of the box, and then put all four large boxes in his dormitory, so that the distinguished guests from other countries who came from afar could appreciate their wealth. ”

Liu Blind looked disdainful, and continued: "This kind of country is a garbage country, although they are rich and nouveau riche, so they have not existed for too long in history, but their bad habits have continued to this day, especially the ancient country of Loulan three or four thousand years ago, I am afraid it is the same." ”

When Blind Liu said this, Xia Qing seemed to have understood, and followed Blind Liu's words and said: "Then according to your meaning, this ancient tomb is likely to be left by the ancient Loulan civilization, and these abandoned Peacock Town Corpse Pills are used to show people how rich and luxurious they are, so that they don't bother to seal these extremely precious things at all, but just throw them aside like garbage." ”

Blind Liu listened to Xia Qing's words and said with satisfaction: "Yes, yes, your little girl's brain is still spinning so fast, that's exactly what I mean." ”

Just when everyone was surrounding Liu Blind and Xia Qing, and they were suspicious of the corpse pills of Kong Qunzhen all over the ground, the fat man had already slipped away quietly.
