After a bowl of soy milk, a fritter, a big bun, and a simple breakfast, the two came to Uncle Chen's residence. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Uncle! Are you up? I brought you breakfast. Xu Ding knocked on the door and said, the soy milk in his hand was still steaming.
The door creaked open from the inside, Uncle Chen's haggard but energetic appearance made the two stunned for a moment, he took the breakfast, looked left and right on the road and then pulled both of them in, and locked the door tightly and locked it from the inside.
Both of them were confused, but Uncle Chen said after eating breakfast in three or two, "You guys, come with me." He went to the bedroom first.
Uncle Chen seemed to have been under the secret room all night and had just come out of it, because the elevator was already waiting there when they entered, Han Yu was a little hesitant, but looking at the two people walking in front, he gritted his teeth and followed.
When they arrived at the bottom of the secret room, as soon as the two of them walked out of the elevator door and saw the thing in front of them, they were immediately frightened and bloodless, and their stomachs were rolling.
It turned out that Uncle Chen didn't sleep all night, but after cleaning the secret room, he couldn't wait to fish out the ancient corpse and put it on the dissecting table to study it, no matter how you look at it, he looks like an experimental maniac.
"Uncle...... Uncle...... You let me go! Vomit...... I'm quitting, I'm ...... I want to go home! Xu Ding was still in high spirits for the last moment, but at this time he was so frightened that he lay on the ground and didn't dare to raise his head, compared to Han Yu's slightly pale face was really much worse.
Uncle Chen said angrily: "Isn't it just an ancient corpse?" Which of the pigs, sheep, and cows you usually eat is not a corpse? I asked you to come because my assistant helped me record, get up and get down to business! ”
Pig carcass, sheep carcass, cow carcasses? Han Yu repeated in his heart, his mouth full of bitterness, uncle, that's called meat...... Huh! How can he eat these things in the future, is it possible that he will change to a vegetarian diet from now on?
Xu Ding even vomited directly, the steamed bun he just ate in the morning......
Shaking his head, Uncle Chen beckoned to Han Yu and said, "You go to the table over there and get a notebook and write down what I said." ”
Han Yu calmed down, although he still didn't dare to look at the corpse, but it was still okay to listen to Uncle Chen's narration to record, he picked up the spread out notebook, and some words had already been written on it.
"There is an ancient male corpse, the corpse is 166cm long, there is no abnormal development, the musculature of the corpse is still elastic, and there is no skin tissue on the body. The eyes of the head are hollowed out, and a pearl is stuffed on each side, with a diameter of about 3cm, preliminarily judged to be middle-aged according to the bone age, there is a puncture wound on the right side of the neck, 5cm long, 1cm wide, and about 12cm deep, there is no foreign body in the wound, there is a mouth in the abdomen, and ......there is no internal organs" is written in great detail, Han Yu can't help but be fascinated, and he doesn't feel scared.
The two quickly entered the working state, and Xu Ding vomited, but he slowly calmed down, looked at the filth he vomited out embarrassedly, cleaned it, and slowly moved it to the front of the two.
"What is this?" Uncle Chen, who was concentrating on the identification, suddenly took out an object from the abdomen of the ancient corpse, and said suspiciously, Han Yu and Xu Ding also stepped forward to take a look, only to see that it was a thing as black as a stone, and after Uncle Chen rinsed it in a basin of water, he revealed his true face.
It was a thumb-sized crystal, and after Uncle Chen held it up and put it under the light to observe, he found that the crystal was unusually crystal clear, and there were almost no impurities in it, and the light reflected by this also shocked him.
"This ...... Is this a sapphire? Uncle Chen said in surprise. In ancient times, there was no such crystal clear colored glass, and the only explanation is that it is a natural sapphire in excellent condition.
"Sapphire?" Han Yu and Xu Ding exclaimed, they knew that the sapphire they had seen on TV before, the size of a small fingernail was sky-high, so how much was this piece worth?
Different from the greedy expressions of the two, Uncle Chen was full of doubts, he put the gem on the table casually, and kept rummaging through the stomach of the ancient corpse, sure enough, he found another piece, the doubt on his face was even worse, put the gem aside again, and then rummaged, and found ten sapphires of almost the same size one after another, arranged on the table.
"So many?" Han Yu and Xu Ding looked at the sapphire on the table, their mouths couldn't close in surprise, and the sharp-eyed Han Yu saw that there were two big pearls in an iron plate next to him, which should have been taken out of the eyes of the ancient corpse, this ...... It turned out that there was really a treasure in the copper jar, and he thought with a strange face, if Sister-in-law Fu knew about it, would she be angry.
"Why ten? What does ten stand for? What does it mean to bury ten sapphires in a human corpse? Uncle Chen muttered to himself in confusion, and the movements in his hands also stopped, thinking hard.
"There must be ten, and there must be a relationship with people, what is it?" Xu Ding heard Uncle Chen's words, and finally took his eyes off the gem and helped them think together.
"The five internal organs are bleeding...... Uh, no, Ah Yu, you've read the book, think about what else? The ink in Xu Ding's stomach was really limited, so he had to turn his head and ask Han Yu.
"Eight veins of strange meridians, three souls and seven spirits...... I can't think of it either. Han Yu only thought of two, so he shook his head.
“…… Three Souls and Seven Spirits...... Three souls and seven spirits? Three plus seven, isn't it ten?! Uncle Chen listened to what the two of them said, and he repeated it in his mouth, and suddenly his eyes lit up, right! That's it, it's three souls and seven spirits!
He hurriedly arranged all the sapphires and pearls in order, and laughed excitedly: "I know! I know! ”
The two looked at Uncle Chen, who was laughing and crying, blankly, not knowing what had happened just now.
After a while, Uncle Chen wiped away his tears, he no longer had the excitement of Fang Cai, and he said to the two sincerely: "Thank you, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would never have had the opportunity to contact these things that I once dreamed of." ”
Han Yu and Xu Ding looked at each other, as if they hadn't done anything.
Uncle Chen asked the two of them to wait for a while, and after carefully restoring the ancient corpse on the dissecting table to its original state, he called Han Yu to take the handle, put it back into the liquid of the copper cylinder and soaked it, and then sealed the lid again.
None of them noticed that the ancient corpse that had lost its sapphire and pearl had undergone drastic changes as soon as it entered the copper jar.
After cleaning up all this, Uncle Chen washed and wiped all the gems and pearls and wrapped them in a clean towel, and then he sat down on the chair as if he had lost his strength.
"Ah Yu, Ah Ding, let me tell you a story." After a while, Uncle Chen said quietly.
Tell a story at this time...... Isn't it inappropriate? But the two did not refuse, Uncle Chen's story has always been wonderful, but he has not told the two of them a story for a long time.
My full name is Chen Yaoxian, a senior researcher in China, and my research topic was about the sacrificial customs of Qiongzhou, and during a visit to the countryside, I met an old man who called himself the Hai Tribe, and I came into contact with this mysterious race by chance, and became curious.
Fifty-six nationalities, from the beginning to the end, I can't find the record of the Sea Clan, but in the old man's house, I not only learned about the origin of the Sea Clan, but also the records of their real existence, the old man also has a sea talisman, which is a talisman passed down from generation to generation in their family.
He firmly believes that the sea charm can bring good luck to himself, because he has worked hard at sea all his life, but he has never been treated badly by the sea.
I was so happy, as if I had discovered a new world, and I was madly thirsting for everything about the Sea Tribe, and I had witnessed magical witchcraft, something I had never seen before, and the old man was very talkative, probably because he had been alone for too long.
He has no children, no offspring, and he said that the Hai Clan may be cut off in his generation, but his great-grandfather's generation has divided a tribe and moved elsewhere, so I must help him find his people if I have the opportunity.
As soon as I went back, I frantically wrote a paper on the sea tribe day and night and handed it over, hoping to get some funds to support me to continue my research, but I waited for a letter of rejection, and I put a big red cross on the paper I carefully prepared, and the bright red eight words deeply stung my eyes.
Whimsical, nonsense!
I was furious, I wanted to prove myself, but when I returned to Qiongzhou with the investigator again, I could no longer find the old man, he seemed to have disappeared from this world, and the houses where my ancestors had lived for generations were all moved clean, not even a table or chair was left, I ...... Dumbfounded.
I still dare not forget the investigator's eyes, his eyes were full of sarcasm, so he asked me: "Are you awake?" ”
I've never dreamed, so how can I wake up? At that time, I was puzzled, helpless, hesitant, angry, resolutely withdrew from the research institute, and came here to look for it alone, the emperor lived up to his wishes, and after three years of searching along the coastline, I finally found here, but things are not so simple, I was excited from the beginning to the numbness later, it was only a year.
The people of this village, except for Ah Yu's father, who can know a little about the Sea Clan, the rest of the people have already broken off the inheritance, that's all.
"I built this secret room, but now it's the first time I've used it, Ah Yu, Ah Ding, I'm leaving. I'm going to go back with this brass and all the harvest over the years, and slap them in the face, but don't worry, I'll be back again! I've lived here for 12 years, and the 12 years of waiting has been worth it, I've had a harvest and a new home. ”
After Uncle Chen finished speaking, his back, which was a little rickety in the past, became straight again, and he seemed to have become different from before.
