Chapter 249: Master Tang Na
At the end of that expedition, Barkolov suddenly fell seriously ill and had to stay at the Temple of Extreme Things to recuperate. In this process, Lin Xuan once contributed a two-foot-long Everest snow ginseng, together with gold leaf, snow lotus whiskers and ambergris stone pills bought at a high price from Tianlong Temple in Nepal, trying to use these extreme "hanging" methods to treat Barkolov. Unfortunately, Barkovov eventually died and was sent home by his two companions.
"He's my brother, the only brother." Donna laughed miserably.
Lin Xuan sighed: "It's a pity, Mr. Barkolov is a wizard in the world of exploration. As far as I know, the White Dwarf Club has been sponsored by a European venture capital firm and is about to carry out a major operation to "unravel the ten mysteries of the Tibetan land", but I did not expect to pass away unexpectedly. I'm sorry, but I couldn't save him because of my mediocre medical skills. ”
The medical technology in Tibet was already backward, and at that time, Barkolov suffered from a kind of acute hemolysis, coupled with very severe altitude sickness, and his lung function declined rapidly, and he could only rely on oxygen machines to maintain his life. In addition, Lin Xuan found a very small active insect body in the pores on the surface of Barkolov's body, this species is very peculiar, and when observed under a high-powered microscope, it can be found that there are natural patterns growing on the back of the insect body, similar to a horizontal skull.
Lin Xuan did not reveal this point of view to the monks of the Jiwu Temple, so as not to cause unnecessary panic.
After that incident, he repeatedly studied the samples of the insect body, and consulted microbial tastings around the world, and finally confirmed that it was a Gu insect from Miaojiang, called "Rotten Bone Silkworm". The power of Gu worms lies in the fact that they are transmitted by wind and water, enter the human body from the two major respiratory tracts of the nose and lips, and then bite through the trachea wall and ribs through the sharp teeth of the guò head, enter the hollow bone cavity, entrench themselves as nests, reproduce, and feed on the most nutritious bone marrow in the human body. The Gu worm's reproductive ability is extremely strong, similar to that of aphids, and at its fastest, it can reproduce more than fifteen generations in one day and night. Therefore, once a person is invaded by this kind of Gu worm, there is no chance of survival.
This kind of research lasted for more than half a year, and Lin Xuan figured out the cause of Barkolov's death, but he had no way of knowing how the "rotting bone silkworm" entered Barkolov's body.
In the process of going deep into the ice valley, everyone acted in unison, and it was impossible for the Gu worm to attack Barkolov alone and let the others go.
There have been enough mysterious incidents in Tibet, and there have been terrifying Miaojiang Gu worms, which are superimposed on each other, for fear that it will cause a huge panic in both the Jiwu Temple and the Rongbu Temple. Considering the overall stability, Lin Xuan suppressed this research result. Fortunately, only Barkolov died suddenly, and the others are still unharmed.
Donna shook her head, "Doctor Lin, you have done your best, and our family is very grateful to you. Barkovov's body was frozen and transported to Russia, and I invited the best doctors in the country, a dozen of them, to perform the autopsy together, and finally found a mysterious bug in his bone cavity. You're a doctor, and you probably don't know much about the weird things that happen in China. That kind of insect is the hand of a mysterious Gu alchemist from Miaojiang, China, called 'Rotten Bone Silkworm'. ”
Lin Xuan nodded and did not express any opinion.
"I'm here to find out the true cause of Barkovov's death, and by the way, thank you on behalf of the family." Donna said.
The two chatted and walked, and before they knew it, they had walked to the road between the two lakes. To the left, there is a vast and sparkling sacred lake. Even in the dark of night, when you can't see your fingers, this large lake will automatically glow and reassure travelers.
Anyway, if you look to the right, you will see a dark and dead ghostly lake. Even on a sunny day, the lake was unsettling, and it seemed like something bad was about to happen.
"What Mr. Luo said attracted me, as an explorer, the most important trait is to remain curious about the world, always make bold assumptions, carefully verify, and salvage the truth from the absurd legends that many people scoff." Donna picked up a pebble and threw it with a wave of her arm, and it streaked across the night sky and flew into the ghost lake.
Lin Xuan stopped and turned to Tang Na: "I also heard Mr. Luo talk about the 'Ghost Lake Submarine', and now, I want to hear your opinion."
He originally thought that anyone who listened to Luo Yuan's words would be dismissed as crazy, just like the monks of Jiwu Temple did, busy doing evil for Luo Yuan, instead of exploring the credibility of that evil. Since Donna said so, he was really willing to listen to it.
"I have checked all the submarines owned by Nazi Germany during World War II, and each one has a detailed size and power number, from construction, launching, and participation in the war, there is no extra one out of thin air, and there is no inexplicable missing one. Therefore, what Mr. Luo saw was not the main submarine registered by the German Ministry of Defense, but from another channel. Some of my family members worked for the German Ministry of Defense, so it was easy to get a detailed statistical table of the German forces in World War II."
Donna stopped talking abruptly, reached out, took out a small telescope from her pocket, and held it up to look at the middle of the ghost lake.
The water surface of the ghost lake was very calm, and within Lin Xuan's field of vision, there was nothing abnormal.
He agreed with Donna's opinion, after all, submarines were high-end weapons in World War II, and it would take at least one to two years from construction to testing the waters, and it was impossible to keep them completely secret. As a result, how many submarines were there in each country at that time, how lethal they were, and how far did they endurance...... These questions have long been made clear by the multi-faceted spies.
If Luo Yuan really saw the World War II submarine, he could only find it from outside the roster.
"Just now I seem to have seen something emerge from the lake, and according to its divided waters, it is either a whale more than 20 meters long, or it can only be a submarine." Donna put down her binoculars and let out a long breath.
Lin Xuan shook his head: "No, there may also be a third outcome."
"What is it?" Donna asked.
"Neither whales nor submarines can appear in the ghost lake of Laangcuo, and I think the most likely situation is visual hallucination." Lin Xuan replied.
Donna smiled slightly, neither arguing nor rebutting.
The two of them walked forward for a while, and they were already standing on the shore of the lake, and at their feet were the waves of the ghost lake gently licking the sand.
"You think I'm a hallucination, and Mr. Luo is also a hallucination?" Donna asked.
Lin Xuan asked rhetorically: "It's not an illusion, what is it?" What others can't see, things that obviously don't exist in zài, but you just say that it has zài, and even all the details are clearly described. Why is that? Is that thing automatically invisible to us? When pigs fly. So, now that you and Mr. Luo are standing opposite everyone and even the opposite side of the truth, what does that mean?"
Donna thought for a while and gently asked, "Have you forgotten that the truth is often in the hands of a few, which is translated into the Chinese languages of the world?"
