Chapter 19: The Ultimate Secret (Updated October 4, 2012)
We walked over and saw in the distance that there was a person lying in front of the old woman.
"Little brother?" a hint of ominous thought flashed through my heart, and then I felt that it was impossible, not that he was not here, but that he could not be here.
The man was completely encased in black mud glue, surrounded by several vine-like things. The fat man tore these off, revealing three bronze chains.
It was these three chains that held the man in place, and he was not washed out of the mud.
The man was curled up, looking very fat, and he didn't know if it was a real person.
"What the hell? Is there really a diarrhea god?" said the fat man, "and I collapsed and died here?"
"You mean this guy produced all those things? How long did he have to work it. β
"Haven't you heard a song? I want to play it for another 500 years. The fat man said. Zhang Haixing sighed, looked at the ceiling, and was obviously speechless to the extreme.
The fat man said: "Old sister, don't be like this, these witticisms will not only not hurt our professional skills, but can also enliven the atmosphere." β
"Less nonsense, see what's it. Zhang Haixing said, "You guys are like talking about cross talk, aren't you tired?"
"The artist is bold. The fat man glanced at me and Zhang Haixing, and reached out to touch the person.
There was no depression on the surface of the man, it was hard, and I could feel the strength of the fat man's hand, but there was no change.
"It's petrified. The fat man said, obviously relieved, "It won't be alive, even if it's alive, it won't move, we can pee on him." β
"Are you sure? Maybe it's a vajra gourd baby. "My heart was beating to my throat, and I was holding myself back to say witty things.
"If it's a King Kong gourd baby, we're just dreaming, just look at the face, if it's a dream, I hope it's Astro Boy. The fat man also said, made a move to tear off the things on his face, but the action is an action, I and the fat man glanced at each other, but we didn't stretch out our hand, Zhang Haixing looked at us twice: "Are you interesting?
The fat man grabbed her hand: "If this is the place of God, then the glory of unveiling the veil of God must be the fat man and me, the fat man and I follow the little naΓ―ve mix, often lose money, and now I can't even lose honor." You get out of the way for me. β
"Don't talk nonsense, stay aside, my aunt and grandmother won't give you honor. Zhang Haixing said angrily.
The fat man made an absolutely non-negotiable expression and glared at Zhang Haixing for a long time.
Zhang Haixing didn't bother to be poor with him, she retracted her hand, the fat man took a sip, and read in his mouth: "You'd better be the Seven Fairies, if it's not Chang'e, it's okay if it's not a Weaver Girl." β
I thought to myself, according to the fat man, this would definitely not be a god, because the god of diarrhea would not stay in his excretory organs, it would be a roundworm in his rectum at most. As soon as this thought flashed through me, I knew I was so nervous, my brain was forcing me to wander.
After reading for a long time, the fat man slowly began to tear the black mud on this person's body.
The mud on his face was pulled off at once, and after he pulled it open, he shone it with a flashlight, and under the torn place was a ball of white bones.
The fat man continued to pick, and soon, a strange human face appeared in front of us.
Not a stone, not a fossil, but something like jade, translucent white jade, with a lot of black veins in it.
Around the face, there were a lot of cobweb-like things entangled, and we used a flashlight to flick them, and found that these things were petrified, but when we used force, those things would shatter and not be very strong.
The surface of his face was very cracked and angular, and he was an old man. The clothes at the neckline were all rotten, they must have been washed away by the mud just now, and now only some fibers remained, and some Tibetan silverware that was not very perishable was still on the body.
"Spider-Man?"
"No, it's a cocoon. Zhang Haixing said, and suddenly she started to tear off all the black mud on the person's body.
Soon, a translucent human body appeared in front of us. Miraculously, we found that the clothes on his body were actually well preserved.
It is a leather coat that has been soaked in mud and hardened.
"Is it a Tibetan?"
"No, it's a Han Chinese. Zhang Haixing lit another cigarette and tore off an ornament from the man's neckβa jade pendant. She handed it to me, and I could tell it was Han style.
"Can you tell what age it is?" I asked. The style of the jade pendant is very simple, and there are not many details for me to judge.
Zhang Haixing shook his head and said: "It's useless to know what era it is, even if you know who he is, it's useless." β
"Ok, let me summarize, in this bronze door, there is a corpse of a Han man, tied to the ground in chains. Is this what your patriarch said about the ultimate? This one is a little weaker. β
"No, this man must be an outsider. You see, the bronze chains are made of real iron, and then they are driven into the ground and fixed, and we have to take a closer look. β
He was completely human, and he was curled up in a natural position, very fat, and the fat of the whole person collapsed to the ground, but it was hard when pressed.
"There's a guy here. Zhang Haixing said, shining the flashlight on the jade man's chest. We found that all the black cotton wool lines converged into a black mass on the chest.
"Do you know what this thing is?" I asked her, surprised.
"I came prepared, and I wasn't completely unaware of what we could see. This is corpse jade, which is the corpse of a human being petrified into a strange jade under a specific environment, and we have opened many ancient tombs that are more than 30 centuries old, and we will find some similar situations. This kind of corpse jade has a long time to evolve and requires a very stable environment. In other words, a specific environment makes corpses petrified very, very quickly, and even maintains the basic form of corpses. It's just that most of the corpses will wrap the whole corpse in it, this one is very special, this kind of whole corpse has become like this, I have never seen it. β
"I think I've seen it before. My mind flashed, but I couldn't remember when I had seen something like this, "So why is this thing here?"
"We have no way of knowing this, I only know that in our family records, there seems to be something forming in the chest cavity of all the corpses. You look at these black cotton wool, all the corpse jade that we saw before, these cotton wool are scattered in the corpse, but there are signs of gathering in the chest. And this one, almost all of this cotton wool is concentrated in the chest cavity. The age of this corpse jade should be very old. Come on, let's crack open its ribcage and see what's inside. With that, she pulled out her pickaxe.
The fat man was on the other side of the corpse and waved his hand at her: "No need to knock, you come to me to see." It's already broken here. As he spoke, he lifted the body vigorously and showed us the back of the body. The cobweb-like stuff shattered all at once, and crumbs fell down with a clatter.
The weight of the corpse did not seem to be heavy, and he was holding it alone, and we saw that there was a large hole in the back of the corpse, which was full of black jade slag. The fragments were still underneath the corpse, and the chest cavity could be seen empty.
"It's empty, it's nothing, it's probably just a natural phenomenon. β
"Not what you think. Zhang Haixing's face changed, "Could it be that something escaped from the corpse?"
"What's that?"
"I don't know, but that thing must have been in the mud just now, it was washed outside. Zhang Haixing said.
"Not necessarily. His fat face changed suddenly, and he pointed his flashlight at the side of the cave, and ripped off his gun.
I remembered how he had just felt, and I began to take the gun as well.
When we turned back, we immediately saw that where the fat man had looked before, a black shadow appeared in the darkness, this thing was in a half-clumped state, shrunk in the darkness, and seemed to be looking at us.
