As the stinking water seeped down the dirt and rocks beneath the ground, leaving only a layer of oil on the surface of the dirt. I could see what was inside. It's all like glass, and it's all scattered. I picked up one of them, and it was shaped like a peanut, crystal clear, with some fine textures inside.

This texture is somewhat similar to the cube I just chiseled, but it doesn't seem to be as hard as before, and it's light to hold in your hand. However, it looks particularly beautiful in the light. I jokingly said to Songzi, will this be the jewelry left by that dynasty, if so, we can be considered rich, buy a few at will, what kind of Taoist priest, what kind of witch king soul to find, I'm afraid that the rest of my life will be able to live without worry.

Qin Bukong frowned on the side, as if he had discovered something. Then he held out his palm to me and asked me to hand him the "jewel" that I had just played with in my hand. I said what are you doing, you will give it to you when you say it will be given to you? You're not my dad, you want to eat it alone? Although he knew that I was joking, Qin Bukong still rolled his huge eyes impatiently to show me, and then said You bring it, this thing is not a gem!

When I heard this, I obediently handed it to him. In between, Qin Bukong emptied the ground, leaving only many such "jewels" of different lengths, and then began to put them together. There were about a dozen pieces of transparent "jewelry", the longest one was almost three inches, and the longest one was also the thickest, about the thickness of an egg. It's just that although the one looks big, it is full of cracks on the surface, and the transparency and luster are not as good as those small ones. And when Qin Bukong began to piece together these little things, the more I looked at it, the more panicked I became.

Because it wasn't until he put it together that I realized it was the bone of a right-handed hand. Fortunately, this is a jewelry product, not a real human bone, and when I comforted myself like this, Qin Bukong sneered and said, you idiot, this is a real human hand bone! Aren't you a jeweler? Aren't you going to sell it for money and make a fortune?

His tone was teasing and mocking, which clearly humiliated me. So I said with a hard mouth, what nonsense are you talking about? Do your bones look like this? Are your bones transparent? But after I finished speaking, I instantly became weak, and I felt a little strong. Qin Bukong pointed to the transparent fragments that were knocked down by us just now and said, these transparent things are all formed by hardened materials such as stones and bones after being soaked in water for a long time, and they are not ordinary water, you can also see the layer of oil floating in the water just now, although we don't know what it is, but these shiny things are actually stones and bones!

I still said stubbornly, how is that possible, you said that the stone became like this after soaking, I may still believe that this bone is made of organic matter, after soaking for so many years, it has long turned into a puddle of water, how can it still become crystalline. At this time, Songzi pulled my sleeve and said, Situ, don't think it's impossible, it's really completely feasible. It's like keeping some taxidermy in a hospital, soaking them in a medical fluid, so that they can be stored for many years. And the water we poured out just now must have something weird, otherwise wouldn't this person who buried the stone box work in vain?

I thought to myself, if the senior didn't want the things here to be destroyed, naturally he wouldn't bury it under the water, and since it was buried underwater, it means that he had already done some treatment inside.

At the time, I didn't know how the transparent right hand bone was formed, but it was many years later that I learned from others that if a liquid could extract the phosphorus from the bone and leave only carbon, it would indeed crystalline the only carbon after a long time. It's just that I've never studied this kind of chemistry, and in those days, there were a lot of things I couldn't figure out, and this was just one of them.

Qin Bukong said, among the things we can find now, what we can take away is this bead and this pile of hand bones, I don't know if there were other things in it originally, but now they have turned into a puddle of water, I'm afraid it can't be verified. It's said to be a breakthrough, but now it's more like a puzzle left for us, asking us to find an inevitable connection between these two things, otherwise, it's useless for us to take these things.

Qin Bukong continued, do you still remember that when we inserted the seventh vajra yesterday, the stone bricks with the word "魑" popped out by themselves, while the remaining stone bricks did not move? Matsuko and I both nodded yes. Qin Bukong continued, then boldly speculate that only after we have passed the first level, it is possible to trigger the second level, and the stone bricks of the second level should also pop up accordingly. If that's the case, it's not a level, it's a treasure hunt.

I nodded, thinking he had a point, because we hadn't had any trouble since yesterday, and it didn't look like a pass. So Qin Bukong said, since this is the case, let's stand still for the time being, put this stone box at the bottom of the pit again and backfill it, and let's take the rest back to study and study.

At the moment, this seems to be the best and only way to go. So Matsuko and I put the lid of the stone box on the ground, put it at the bottom of the pit, and buried it again, but this time we didn't tamp the dirt and stones on the surface, lest we have to dig again in the wrong direction.

Just as we were finishing the backfill and preparing to leave, a man's voice suddenly came:

"Who are you and what are you doing here?"

The sound was very close, and it would take us a while to get here, and none of us noticed when this person was approaching. After hearing the voice, I turned my head and found that not far behind Qin Bukong, there was a man wearing a dark blue tunic, with black-framed glasses, almost in his fifties, not tall, because of the winter, although the tunics were not very warm, the clothes on his body looked a little bloated, as if there was a layer of sweater under the tunic.

According to Qin Bukong's temper, he would not pay attention to such a polite old man at all, but I was a little worried that he would not be inferior to others, so I hurriedly rushed ahead of him and said, this gentleman, let's play, let's play, let's go. But the man said in a tone like a teacher, with a rebuke, play? What's the fun? Is this the place you should be?

Originally, I was still good at talking, but as soon as the other party said this, I was a little unhappy, there are no barricades here, there is no barbed wire fence, and third, it is not anyone's private territory, how can it be called a place where we should come? Seeing that the other party was an old man, I didn't say much, just stretched out my foot and stomped a few times on the pit that had just been backfilled, and then said to Songzi, let's go, it's really not fun.

So after Matsuko put his things on his body, he planned to go with me. But the man dressed as an intellectual said in pieces, "If you don't study well at a young age, you come here to make trouble, people like you should be arrested one by one, lined up, and shot!"

I'm a little crying and laughing, is this person mentally ill, to say that although the world is chaotic, it's not chaotic to the point of shooting people at every turn, besides, where are we going, this is personal freedom, this place is not a military restricted area, anyone with long legs can come, why don't you learn well at a young age. Songzi couldn't help it now, so he said to the old man, I said this gentleman, then why did you come here, then don't you study well, should you also be arrested and shot with us?

The old man ignored Matsuko's choking, but continued to say to himself, if you don't obey, you should be beaten! Heaven has a way you don't go! Hell has no door for you to break into!

These inexplicable words made me realize that this old man must really have some mental problems, because his words seemed so ridiculous. I was about to say to Songzi Ignore him, let's go, when I suddenly caught a glimpse of Qin Bukong's eyes. It was a cold look in the eyes, and it was full of hostility.

I suddenly came to my senses, from the time this old man appeared, Qin Bukong didn't say a word, this really didn't seem like his style, and the old man kept thinking in pieces, facing our direction, Songzi and I thought that these words were being said to us, but in fact, his eyes didn't look at us, but it just happened to be facing our direction.

So I took a closer look at the old man, his hair was neatly combed, his blue tunic was very clean and neat, not even a little wrinkled, on the left breast pocket, there was a fountain pen, the cap of the pen just exposed the outside of the bag, and on the side of the pen, there was a badge of three red flags, and a badge of a leader's head shining brightly. And what surprised me the most was the other person's feet, a pair of black leather shoes looked clean and clean, and it stands to reason that if a person walked to our current position, the shoes would not be stained at all, because there was nothing but mud here. And when I looked closely at his shoes, I found a clue.

His toes were slightly on tiptoe, and his shoes didn't feel any squeezing on the dirt, which meant that his body had no weight.

Turning his head to look at Qin Bukong again, his indifferent expression flashed with a hint of disdain, it seemed that he had discovered early on that this old man was not a human at all, but a ghost.
