Chapter 117: On Dried Corpses and Mysterious Figures
Zhu Xianlong was afraid that something would happen to Ruo Feixue, so he hurriedly instructed Ruo Mo'a nun to cross back to Luoyang, and asked Qing'er and her adoptive mother to buy a villa to settle Ruo Feixue, and asked Qing'er and Yue'e to accompany her often. Nun Ruomoa nodded and left Zhu Xuanlong, and she continued to track Ruofeixue until she traveled back in time and space to Luoyang.
Early the next morning, Zhu Xianlong and the other five people left Rhodes Island and drove a white yacht to the southwest. After driving more than 300 kilometers, Kasos Island can be seen faintly in the distance, and scattered small islands can also be seen around it, such as water lily duckweed, which naturally forms a warm landscape.
The yacht continued southward and soon came to Deltekee Island. This island is different from many other islands, it is remote and small, and the island is sparsely populated, which makes people feel inexplicably uneasy.
As soon as we get close to the island, the weather changes dramatically, and torrential rain falls.
Not far away, there is indeed a black cathedral. The black church seemed to have been burned by a fire, and there were traces of smoke and fire, giving people a bad omen, but it looked like a place where the devil lived.
Meng Zidie said suspiciously: "This place is not like the so-called trading market at all, but like a netherworld with a tendency to Europeanization. I think, in order not to waste time, let's go home as soon as possible, right?"
Zhu Xianlong smiled disapprerovingly: "Hehe! If you come, you should see the true face of Lushan." Otherwise, I'll go and investigate first, and if I can't find the Phoenix Sword, let's catch a few happy ghosts and go back to play with you, what do you think?"
Mengzidie said solemnly: "I'm not joking with you. We who walk the rivers and lakes must be cautious everywhere. "Zhou Yi - Jiji" has a definition, as the so-called: "The gentleman thinks about trouble and precautions." 'Prevention is better than prevention, you know? We're young girls. You can't drag us all into your funeral because of your faith and whims!"
Zhu Xianlong nodded and said with a smile: "Mengzi Butterfly is reasonable. Your resentment reminds me. I think so, right? In order not to make this trip in vain, I want to go to the church alone. If you don't come back for an hour, you will evacuate the island and do whatever you want. ”
Shangguan Ying frowned and said, "Forget it! Don't think you're a master or a hero." If you want to go, you all go together. It's just that after going ashore for a while, everyone should remember what Mengzidie just warned and be cautious!"
Everyone suddenly entered a nervous state and nodded, "Hmm." Be. ”
After Zhu Xianlong and the sisters landed, they approached the church cautiously. It's the only church on the island, and it feels tall and eerie, like a huge black-lacquered coffin erected, with the exception of a silver spire at the top. The silver spire, which is the part of the multi-door window clock. There are as many as six large bells, and the top of the tower is still a black cross.
The church still rings with a low bell, which trembles so much that the whole island is immersed in a gray world that seems to be the underworld. It is said that this bell is only a reminder of something, and it is completely different from the prayer gospel of the Orthodox church.
Odd. Wisps of green smoke and mist gradually rose around the church, converging on the church. Suddenly. There is a faint movement of vegetation on the wasteland around the base of the church.
After Zhu Xianlong observed, he wondered: "It's still the feeling of Mengzi Butterfly that is the best." Indeed, this kind of place does not look like a market for antiques in any way, but rather like an area of the underworld. ”
Mengzidie quipped: "Only now do I understand what I said earlier, and the reaction is really slow." Since you are here, you should go in and understand and observe. Perhaps, the church is a collection of antiques, mainly a collection of thousand-year-old human corpses and bones, which is not my nonsense, because everyone thinks that this place is like the underworld. The small trader said that the collection of ancient swords and the buying and selling of antiques were carried out in this old church. It doesn't look very safe here. When the vendors say it's not safe, I'm afraid they mean it's haunted inside, right?"
Shangguan Ying seemed a little uneasy, with a little fear in her doubts, she said nervously: "Looking at this church, I am really a little cautious. If you go in, there are dried corpses hanging on the walls, which is really terrifying. It is said that after death, the soul of a person will always stay by the corpse, even if it is a finger bone of the deceased. In this way, the church not only houses dried corpses, but also collects human souls by the way. ”
Zhu Xianlong reminded: "Don't tease, scare yourself." Let's talk about it first, after seeing the dry corpse for a while, no one is allowed to come and hold me. ”
Mengzi Butterfly sneered: "You just dream." After you go in, I'm afraid that only the corpse sister and the zombie sister will hold you and never let go. ”
Everyone laughed like a gust of wind.
Zhu Xuanlong gave an order, and everyone used the flying light skill to fly into the air and flew around the church for a week, and the bats of the church flew out immediately and chased Zhu Xuanlong and others, and everyone had to wave their swords to drive away, but there were more and more bats, and everyone had to get into the clouds. Snow Lotus was held up by Mengzi Butterfly and Shangguan Ying to fly.
When everyone returned to the same place, they thought that there really seemed to be dried corpses stored in the church, and those bats might have the souls of dried corpses attached to them, all of them were hideous and terrifying. Everyone talks about dried corpses and zombies, and everyone is afraid of three points.
Mujitana Gerra didn't seem to be afraid of this, and recalling that she had worked as a handyman in a hospital, explained: "Dried corpses are not terrible, they just don't have too much water and oil, and they are not as attractive as treated corpses." Without the treatment of the corpse, it will autolyze into the cells within the body over time and the air changes. The lytic enzymes in the cells also release various proteolytic enzymes according to time and weather changes, which are gradually degraded into small molecules through biological macromolecules. In addition to this autolysis process, it is also naturally decomposed by various spoilage factors, which is actually a very natural process. ”
Mujtana-Gerla paused and continued, "So, it's not surprising that dry corpses are terrifying, and wet corpses are ugly. The year before last, I worked in a hospital to specialize in air-drying corpses, that is, to prevent corpses from autolyzing, so that they do not decay and let them dry. If Sister Mengzi Die and Sister Shangguan Ying had done corpse work, they would not have been afraid. The hospital where I work has set up a special institution, which is to make dried corpse specimens, which can make a lot of money!"
Mujitana-Gerla seemed to be happy with this, and she said with great interest: "The dried corpses we have made are not only for lectures and research in medical schools. The main thing is to export to earn foreigners' money. It is mainly exported to Japan and the United States. This is followed by South Africa, the United Kingdom, Germany, Australia, Russia, India and Vietnam. So. You can't imagine that this kind of business is so easy to make money. You think about it, a thousand corpses were sold out in a day or two with us. ”
Zhu Xianlong felt a little uncomfortable, and said funny: "Don't talk about it, okay? In the future, it seems that I will have to hold the hand of Sister Mujitana-Gerla less, because this is a pair of hands that have dealt with many dead people." ”
After Mujitana Gerla heard this, she immediately stretched out her hands to grab Zhu Xianlong's hand, and said unrelentingly: "Today." I have to hold my brother's hand. Tonight, I'm going to squeeze my brother's bed to sleep, and let him have a few nightmares before I can stop. Hehe........."
Zhu Xianlong hid his hand behind him, and hurriedly asked Meng Zidie for help: "Meng Zidie, take care of your zombie sister, you see, she is still holding my waist." ”
Mengzi Butterfly pulled Mujitana Ger to her side and smiled: "Silly girl, if you squeeze his bed to sleep, he will only have spring dreams." Alright, alright. Don't even mention zombies and dried corpses. In my opinion, this must be a conditioned reflex. This church. It seems that there are zombies or dried corpses. ”
Shangguan Ying looked at Zhu Xianlong and Mujitana Gerla flirting there, and she wanted to dream of a butterfly to come to the round, so she shouted without thinking: "It doesn't matter if it's a zombie or not, if it's a corpse or not, don't you know the way when you go in and see?" Let's go, let's get ready to go in. ”
They didn't want to say anything more, so they walked towards the church in the dark.
Shangguan Ying took the lead, and I don't know if it was because of the fog or distraction, the church slowly rose in the smoke, and after a while, it staggered to the ground again. Shangguan Ying was taken aback, and hurriedly stretched out her arms to signal everyone not to act rashly, and immediately stopped her steps to observe the movement before making plans.
Mujitana-Gerla also noticed the anomaly, and she blurted out in surprise: "Brother, sisters, did you see that church flying?"
Zhu Xianlong held Snow Lotus, he was also surprised, he said worriedly: "I thought I was dizzy, but it turned out to be true." ”
Shangguan Ying said disappreciably: "It doesn't matter if it flies or not, let's go in first, and only when we get inside can we truly understand whether it is a real flight or a fake flight." ”
Mengzi Butterfly actually saw that the church could fly, but she just wanted to follow everyone's wishes.
The rain had stopped, and the dark clouds in the sky still covered the island in black. Everyone carefully observed for a while, and felt that there seemed to be a "ghost" shaking in the grass hidden in the mist. When they got closer, several figures flashed out of it. After a while, it gradually became clear that it was a few neatly dressed and burly men, who felt like monastic clergy in the church, but quickly denied it in their minds.
When I got a little closer, I saw that there were six of them. They all looked tall and mysterious, and at the same time, there was a fierce light in their eyes, as if they were alien black-clad men from the assassination party.
At this moment, one of them left the crowd and walked slowly towards Zhu Xianlong and the others. Everyone watched his every move vigilantly, and at the same time, they felt more and more in their hearts that this was not a place to stay for a long time. The group of guys in the back suddenly lined up, as if they were well-trained agents or conspirators, as if this move had an ulterior motive.
At this point, the atmosphere here is starting to tense up, and it seems that something is going to happen. Zhu Xianlong, Mengzi Die, and Shangguan Ying each winked, and then let Xue Lian retreat to the back. Mengzi dragged Mujtana Gerla behind her, ensuring her and Snow Lotus's safety and allowing them both to take advantage of their chances.
When the black-clothed man approached, everyone could see that he was about forty years old, with a short ochre-yellow beard. He is like an expert in emergency negotiation of major events, and he seems to be scheming.
He said to Zhu Xianlong in a low and slow tone: "Welcome friends from afar! My name is Melson, and I am one of the people in charge of this church. Just now I was passing through here to check the safety work, and I was fortunate to meet all the distinguished guests. The church behind me is nearly 3,000 years old. Now, it's not really a church anymore. If you come to the priest for confession, I am afraid that you have run in vain. ”
Zhu Xuanlong smiled and nodded, "Hello, Mr. Melson! We are a group of people who have come here, and we have heard that this church is a professional trading market for collecting antiques, and it is a leader in the industry, do we want to know that this is a fact?"
Mr. Melson nodded, "That's right, Mr. Zhu." Almost all of the churches are collectibles, and their value is immeasurable, and the recent collectibles alone are extremely expensive in the trade. You haven't signed up for a membership, so it's best not to go in. If you really want to go in, please take my silver cane candlestick and go in again, because with this silver candelabra, the collectors inside will trade with you. Remember, set it on fire before you go in?"
Zhu Xianlong took the sterling silver candlestick of the bird of paradise about one meter six, handed it to Shangguan Ying, and examined the other party's eyes by himself, and never relaxed his vigilance for a moment, just in case of accidents. But on the surface, he seems calm and mild-mannered.
Zhu Xianlong immediately said: "Xie Lu Xie!"
Zhu Xianlong remembered that it was time to ask about the Phoenix Sword, because the person in charge in front of him must have more or less known whether there were such treasures from the ancient period in this trading place. So he asked, "Mr. Melson, I would like to inquire if there are any swords from Asian countries in this trading market, especially the magic sword of our country of ceramics, that is, the phoenix sword?"
Mr. Melson seemed to have a twinkle in his eyes, and he said with interest, "Magic Sword! Well, to the point, there is exactly one in it." You must know that almost 80% of the people in this church are real collectors of magic swords from all countries in the world, and they are also research experts in this industry. ”
Melson's last sentence made everyone overwhelmed and only felt frightened. (To be continued......)
