Chapter 127: Dissecting the Dried Corpse
This time, the dried animal corpses were still as easy to cut as tofu blocks, but the meridian structure in them was completely invisible, like some rotten bacon.
As time passed, the corpse seemed to be a rapid rendition of thousands of years of decay, quickly turning into a mass of mud at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Even compared to the dried corpse whose soul was extracted before, this corpse was more completely decayed, like a pile of black mud.
"How's that, do you see some doorways?
Could it be that the soul can also enhance the preservation time of the dried corpse? ”
In addition to being able to understand the storage effect of the crystal nucleus on the soul, in the face of these two rapid decays, Jiang Yingxue could not get any enlightenment from them.
It's like watching a pile of dead branches on the side of the road slowly decay, and you don't know anything about the physical and chemical phenomena other than the decomposition of microorganisms.
"Remember some of the research literature you got in the sleep deprivation lab?
One of the passages mentions the analogy between the phenomenon of spontaneous combustion of the human body and the annihilation of the vampire.
The rapid annihilation of a vampire's body, like the rapid oxidation of silk fabric taken from an ancient tomb, conforms to the general law of entropy increase.
It is precisely because the soul has certain immortal properties that it can guarantee the long-term existence of the vampire body.
Similarly, the dried corpses of animals here have been stored in the air for so many years, even if there is a basic principle of dehydration and embalming, but similar to some millennium Egyptian mummies, those that are preserved in the desert can still maintain the integrity of the dried corpses, but the mummy has long since decayed like a piece of rotten wood.
Therefore, the dried corpses of these animals can not decay for thousands of years, and it is obvious that they use some specific properties of the soul. ”
Unexpectedly, Bai Ning was able to think of some experimental speculations obtained before, and took some speculative conclusions to delineate an unknown thing, this kind of thing sounds very bold and unreliable.
"Even if we know the reason why the dried carcasses of these animals can not rot for thousands of years, what can we do with them?
You can't just keep burning it all and see if you can make that white pillar hold up, right? ”
Even if Bai Ning's extension is correct, it doesn't seem to help the current predicament.
Jiang Yingxue asked this question, but also wanted to suggest that Bai Ning should not make some irrelevant attempts, and that it was the key to quickly solve the current predicament.
"This at least proves that the Gene Temple and the Soul Temple are not absolutely isolated, and there must be some correlation between the two, which is the key we are using to break through the current predicament."
Bai Ning seems to have gained a certain optimism in this attempt, or perhaps he has found some solution to the current dilemma.
In this regard, Jiang Yingxue can only choose to continue to be a loyal audience and see how Bai Ning solves the current dilemma.
To Jiang Yingxue's surprise, Bai Ning turned around and left the Gene Temple directly, moving quickly in a direction that might symbolize abandonment.
Bai Ning had said that the Illusion Core was trying to destroy this ancient ruin, and the previous civil war of the beast herd also confirmed this suspicion.
Could it be that Bai Ning wants to find a way to solve it from the outside, and let the Illusion Core help them break the ban here?
But isn't asking for the help of a destroyer a chestnut in the fire?
It may even be a self-defeating recklessness!
There were doubts in her heart, but she didn't know how to dissuade Bai Ning, Jiang Yingxue could only frown and follow outside the temple.
Even if Bai Ning finally lifted a corpse out of the temple, Jiang Yingxue still didn't feel it.
At this time, Ivan and the others gathered on the square outside the temple, and seeing that they looked idle, they knew that there was no change in the outside of the temple during this time.
Seeing Bai Ning and the others carrying a dried animal corpse out, although Ivan and the others were curious, there was no excitement in the team.
The beasts in this ancient ruin caused them to suffer so much that they were almost wiped out, even if it was a dried animal, it was enough to make the outlaws terrified.
Ivan didn't want to get close to the animal's dried corpse at this time, but he was also the leader of the remaining outlaws, and his basic posture still had to be posed, otherwise he would be useless cannon fodder.
Ivan reluctantly approached and looked at the dried corpse that he didn't know what it was for, and he didn't know what to ask, so he could only pretend to be very dogged and help transfer it.
Seeing Bai Ning naturally standing aside, Ah Long had no intention of letting go, Ivan was shocked, could it be that this dried corpse had any other use?
However, Bai Ning stood quietly like this, he didn't know what he was thinking, his arms were sore, and Ivan could only endure it silently, Ah Long didn't shout tired, what qualifications did he Ivan have to rest?
Finally, as if he had made an important decision, Bai Ning waved his hand and led Ivan to carry the dried animal corpse to the square in front of the temple.
The group soon arrived at the charred square, and a group of outlaws gathered around them with curiosity, as if they were very interested in the purpose of the dried corpse.
Bai Ning had already stood still, and just as Ivan wanted to ask Bai Ning what he should do next, the dried corpse in his hand suddenly squirmed inexplicably.
Excited by this scene, the outlaws gathered around immediately dispersed far away, looking very jealous.
Ivan originally wanted to see what Bai Ning's attitude was, but seeing that Ah Long quickly threw the dried corpse on the ground, Ivan, who was in a big rage, also hurriedly let go and retreated.
Isn't this a trick on people?
He is a person who doesn't understand anything and carries a strange dried corpse, and he doesn't even give a hint of losing it, and relies on his own cleverness to protect himself, what is the difference between this and gambling on his life?
The squirming of the dried animal corpse seems to be very slow, and it feels like it is slowly rejuvenating, but how can a dried corpse that has been severely dehydrated be rejuvenated?
Just when Ivan was confused, Bai Ning suddenly ordered the outlaws to gather all the high-imitation animal corpses in the vicinity and pile them on top of this dried corpse.
This order made everyone inexplicable, but because of Bai Ning's order, under Ivan's leadership, the remaining outlaws were terrified to fulfill their tasks.
The corpses piled up quickly, and the dried corpses were quickly buried in the fresh corpses, and as a small pile of corpses was completely formed, Bai Ning also gave the order to stop.
Looking at this inexplicable move, rumors of various wizard sacrifices appeared in everyone's minds, could it be that Bai Ning wanted to use the fresh corpse to resurrect the dried corpse?
Just when everyone was confused, the entire corpse pile suddenly ignited a faint blue ghost fire, which was completely different from the yellow spontaneous combustion flame before.
As this strange phenomenon occurs, the whole pile of corpses seems to rise and fall in a certain rhythm, as if the dried animal corpses buried below are constantly resurrecting.
"What the hell is this ......"
Shocked by the inexplicable scene in front of her, she was a little dizzy, and she didn't understand what the meaning of this move was at all, Jiang Yingxue just wanted to ask, and a bright yellow pillar of fire instantly rose into the sky, illuminating the semi-bright space.
With the explosion of this spontaneous combustion flame, the animal carcasses that had been slowly melting in the blue flames all turned into ashes and dispersed.
After everyone's shocked expressions gradually subsided, only some inorganic ashes remained on this realm.
"What are you doing here, doing a spontaneous combustion experiment?"
Jiang Yingxue pointed to the ashes on the ground and asked, but what she got was Bai Ning's silent silence.
I don't know why, is it just a random experiment?
But what is the point of such a move?
I can't think that Bai Ning is too boring in the process of cracking the endgame of the Gene Temple, so I want to order a few pillars of fire tornadoes for entertainment, right?!
Everyone was waiting for Bai Ning's reply, but Bai Ning was like he was suddenly dumb, still standing in place and thinking silently.
Silent in the dim light of the sky, a group of people gathered around the square of a temple, like a frozen frame of a puzzle, waiting for the latecomers to solve the mystery.
Unsure of the reason and the outcome, the outlaws waited for a moment, and could only look at each other a few times, and then maintained a relaxed posture, standing or squatting, looking restrained and casual.
"Let's go. We returned to the temple. ”
Just when everyone thought that Bai Ning was asleep, he suddenly called out, and he was about to return to the Gene Temple again.
"Describe your overall train of thought, can you?"
Although Jiang Yingxue knew that there might be a huge plan in Bai Ning's heart, but she was going in and out inexplicably like this, and she always felt that she would die quietly inexplicably.
"The type of soul in the body of a high-mimic animal is completely different from the type of soul in the dried corpse of an animal, but when combined, they can show the effect of spontaneous combustion of the human body.
This may indicate that the human soul is the source of everything.
In Buddhism, there are six ways of reincarnation, the way of the gods, the way of the earth, and the way of animals.
When the study of the soul finds that the human soul is superior to the animal, then using the characteristics of the human soul to drive the animal is an application, and thinking about the difference between the human soul and the divine soul may be the ultimate goal of the soul study.
To sum up this ultimate purpose, that is, to create gods! ”
Bai Ning's narration shocked Jiang Yingxue at the jump in her thinking, but the possibilities contained in it really made her have to be convinced and have to think about it.
For a religious civilization that worships the god of the sea, god-making seems to be the most valuable sacred cause to pursue.
"You mean to say that the so-called Soul Temple, the Gene Temple, is the proof that the existence of this ancient ruin once created gods.
The reason why the soul temple was destroyed was because their research on the soul had made the traditional religious forces jealous.
Thinking a little deeper, the reason why the black pillar inside was not destroyed may be because it already possessed a trace of divinity.
This divinity may have some resemblance to the god of the sea, Poseidon, or it may itself be imitated after the god Poseidon.
But even so, what can we do about the white column? ”
Jiang Yingxue told the relevant associations in her heart, which is a very bold guess, but as she emphasized at the end, what impact can this speculative conclusion have on the current predicament?
