Chapter 517: White Bone View
The cousin and the madman six both lowered their heads and thought about it, we felt even more incredible, for a human skin, why can we still live and other questions, we just figured it out, but we didn't expect Zhang Liangchen to appear again - their skin and flesh, rotten Cheng dΓΉ is already quite strict, but their behavior and thinking ability are similar to ordinary people, and the principle of this is very different from Xuanheng's.
Madman Six shook his head helplessly, sighed and said: "This kind of thing is completely beyond my understanding, I can't figure it out, I didn't see the meridians on the skin and flesh of the dead corpse at that time, it was obviously in a state of death, why can it be as active and thinking as a living person?"
And on that kind of human skin, there will be meridians, so I can understand why that human skin can move and have life functions, but for Zhang Liangchen's kind of 'zombie', I can't figure it out. β
After listening to the words of Madman Six, his cousin also nodded again and again, and he couldn't solve this mystery either.
At this time, Old Man Yuan's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he thought of something, he looked at us and said, "I suddenly remembered something, I wonder if this kind of thing will be related to Zhang Liangchen and them?" β
Hearing Old Man Yuan say this, everyone was immediately shocked, and the room immediately fell silent, waiting for Old Man Yuan to start telling us.
Old man Yuan tilted his head slightly, his eyes narrowed into a line, as if he was recalling something, and then said slowly: "I told you, my Xuanheng senior, in the space below that crater, found a lot of bamboo slips, and some of the secrets recorded on those bamboo slips, some of them are about a kind of magic skill in Xirong.
Why do I know so much about the contents of those bamboo slips?
Because when Xuanheng's predecessors mentioned those bamboo slips to me, I asked him to write down the contents of those bamboo slips, and then handed them to me, I think this is very valuable as a historical material, so some of the manuscripts in my family are recorded in those bamboo slips.
That kind of Xirong's magic skill sounds very ridiculous, so when I saw those contents, I didn't take it too seriously, thinking it was just a legend, but now I suddenly thought that that kind of magic skill may not be absurd, because whether it is Zhang Liangchen or the dead body at my door today, it seems to be related to that magic skill. β
After hearing these words, my cousin was shocked suddenly, and hurriedly asked Old Man Yuan, "Is the kind of magic skill you said related to bones?" β
When asked by his cousin, Old Man Yuan was a little surprised and said, "Yes, how do you know?" β
My cousin smiled and said: "Ha, don't forget that I also study history, some people say that the 'White Bone View' is an important cultivation method of Buddhism, but some experts in literature and history, after investigation, found that this 'White Bone View' actually originated in the Spring and Autumn Period, and was a cultivation method of the Xirong people in the Spring and Autumn Period, why did this cultivation method occur?"
Because the Xijon people observed that those who died, the last thing left was a pair of white bones, so they felt that compared with the flesh, the white bones of human beings were eternal and incorruptible, so they imagined that if human life could be preserved not by flesh and skin, but only by white bones, would it be possible to achieve immortality?
It is said that after practicing this practice, people can live completely on their own white bones, and there is no need for those perishable organs such as flesh and skin, internal organs, etc., so that people can live forever, in short, this is also a way to pursue immortality.
Later, this 'white bone view' was borrowed by Buddhism, and the connotation was also changed. β
After listening to his cousin's words, Old Man Yuan admired his face and said with emotion: "Brother Wang is really knowledgeable, it is true, I thought that this kind of thing is only better known to me, because of the original materials of the Spring and Autumn Period, I always feel that only I can access it, but I didn't expect Brother Wang You also know." β
The cousin smiled slightly, shook his head and said: "For this historical fact, it is true that few people know that in the first two years, some bamboo slips from the Spring and Autumn Period were unearthed, and on the bamboo slips, there was a mention of this 'white bone view', but it was only briefly mentioned, in addition, all the current historical materials have never involved that kind of 'white bone view' anymore."
In the bamboo slips you come into contact with, this 'white bone view' should be described in more detail. β
Old man Yuan nodded, and continued: "Yes, in that bamboo slip, it was said that there was a person who had practiced this kind of white bone concept at that time, and the skin and flesh on that person's body almost completely fell off, but he could still walk like a fly, and his strength was infinite.
That man was a nobleman in a small country in our area, but after being destroyed by the enemy country next to him, almost all of his family was killed, and his wives and concubines and sisters were also ravaged and killed by the enemy generals, and he himself became a slave.
Later, he found a chance to escape, and hid in the mountains, until more than 50 years, people thought that he had died a long time ago, but did not expect that in one night, the king of the enemy country and more than ten ministers, suddenly all of them were killed, hundreds of soldiers found that the killing of the monarch and ministers was a white bone that could run and jump, at that time almost all the soldiers were paralyzed with fright, and a few bold ones went to slash and kill the white bone, and were killed by the white bone in three or two strokes.
People thought they had encountered a ghost, but in the king's bedroom, they found a silk full of words, and after reading the silk, the truth was revealed - it turned out that the white bone was the nobleman who fled, and he said that he had practiced the 'white bone view', and killing these kings and generals was to avenge his kingdom.
At that time, the 'White Bone Temple' had been passed in from Xirong for a long time, but no one had practiced it, and that nobleman was probably the first person to practice this kind of divine skill, and in the following decades, people continued to enter the mountains to look for that nobleman, but no one ever saw his trace again. β
"This kind of thing sounds, if you speculate according to common sense, you will feel that it must be true or not, but if you think about it carefully, it may not be impossible, all kinds of incidents we have encountered can show that this kind of 'white bone view' may really exist, such as Zhang Liangchen, and the corpse at the door of Mr. Yuan, it is likely to be related to this 'white bone view', but maybe they have not fully practiced, so there is still skin and flesh on their bodies."
After listening to these few sentences of Crazy Man Six's summary, everyone couldn't stop nodding their heads, thinking that what he said was very reasonable, but what we still couldn't understand was - how could he still live with only one white bone left?
The cousin thought for a moment and said, "Through GuΓ² Xuanheng and human skin, we can know that all human vital functions can be transferred to the skin, so in that case, why can't it be completely transferred to the bones?" β
My cousin's words shocked everyone's hearts - yes, my cousin is right, human skin cells can be differentiated into various functional cells, so various types of human cells can also be transferred to bones!
Although this speculation is very bold and incredible, it is not completely impossible, and Old Man Yuan said that when the "Phoenix Empress" was fighting with the dead corpse, she found that the bones of the dead corpse were extremely tough, and from this point alone, the bones of the dead corpse were extremely unusual.
"Is it true that if you want to practice that 'White Bone View', you also need to use the power of this meteorite?" Hongmei suddenly murmured beside her.
"Yes, I also thought of what Hongmei said, it is probably so, think about it, the space where Zhang Liangchen is next door to Xuan Heng, do you remember, the military general who was with Xuan Heng, in order to explore the space next door, also drilled into that space from the water inlet hole in the dark river.
And when he entered that space, he found that all the stones at the bottom of the river were glowing, and although it was dark in the distance, he could feel that the space was large from that sense of emptiness, and, most crucially, he saw a dogβthe flesh of the dog's head, which was at least half rotten, and in the dog's skull, there was a snake.
This detail is very important, indicating that in that space, in addition to people, even dogs seem to have practiced the 'white bone view', that is, for all the creatures in that space, their body functions have been transferred to the bones, and the skin and flesh are no longer too important to them. β
This detail that my cousin said just corroborates our speculation, when we heard Old Man Yuan talk about that kind of strange dog before, we just thought it was terrible and incredible, and we didn't know why it was like that, but now we seem to understand.
Regarding this point mentioned by his cousin, Old Man Yuan also agreed. After some discussion, we speculated that since the space was large, would it lead to the other side of the crack?
Because the dead body also said that they were on the other side of the crack, everyone felt that on the "death zone" on the other side of the crack, there might be a hole leading to that space - the space where Zhang Liangchen was.
In the course of the struggle against the blind man, we have already exercised a kind of ability -- after discovering a clue, we will grasp it to the end, and then follow this clue to find more valuable clues, and our "assault" ability has become stronger day by day.
But what is the relationship between these things and the blind man?
We can't answer this question yet, not only do we not understand this question, but there is another point that still confuses us -- the strange thing that the "Monkey Eagle" chased has the smell of those Japanese on it, could it be that the Japanese have also been involved in that death zone?
"Shall we go to that death zone again?" Xiao Lei mentioned yì to.
No one immediately expressed their position, because that place is indeed too weird, although according to our current judgment, that place can only be infected by the virus when it snows, and the current weather should be no problem, but even so, everyone is still a little apprehensive about going to that place again.
"Oh, we've already been there anyway, and if something really happens, we'll all be infected, so we might as well go out and go again."
Maniac Six was right to say this, and in the end, everyone turned their hearts on the side and decided to explore the death zone again, where there might really be a breakthrough.
Although Old Man Ouyang and Mr. Chen also wanted to go with us, but considering that Mr. Chen's home was our base, and Tian Liwen also needed to take care of her, we decided to act with the original team.
