Chapter 474: Bloodline
When the head of the academy opened the secret door on the wall and opened the heavy safe, Jiang Chanji thought that he was going to take out something terrible, even if he took out a nuclear bomb, he could accept it, but when he saw it at first sight, he was both surprised and a little disappointed, and he could only say that his expectations were too high.
But why a skull, could it be that the head of the house also secretly joined the witchcraft clan?
The skull reminded him of the one on Louisa's scepter, but it was a human skull, and there were some subtle differences between the two.
First of all, Louisa's skull, at most, is only a few years or more than ten years old, with a complete structure, smooth surface, no obvious cracks, and it looks very ...... Fresh?
And the skull in the tray is very old in color at first glance, not to mention that the surface is covered with thick or fine cracks, a piece of the chin is missing, and there are not a few teeth left.
If you use the term of second-hand trading to describe it, the condition of Louisa's one is ninety-eight new, and this one is at most the condition of the Iraqi war-damaged version.
In addition, I don't know if it's a psychological factor, but I always feel that compared with the delicate bone outline of modern women, this skull gives people a slightly rough feeling, especially the jawbone is more developed, which shows that its owner is definitely not the awl face of modern Internet celebrity beauties during his lifetime.
There is also the fact that the remaining teeth are severely worn.
The reason is very simple, since Confucius 2,500 years ago began to pay attention to "not getting tired of eating, not getting tired of fine", modern people eat more and more soft and chewy, no longer need such a developed mandible, and teeth can hold up longer because they don't always need to gnaw hard things.
The dean of the academy only explained the skull in a few sentences, but it contained too much information to be like thunder on the ground.
Jiang Chanji and No. 15 were too shocked to be stupid on the spot.
If the skull could sense the remnants of the source energy reaction, even a little, it would indicate that she was a transcendent.
But this is the remains of a human being from 7,500 years ago, and what does that mean? The history of the Transcendental, as it is known, is only about 30 years at most.
The question just now on the 15th has been self-defeating, it is not a good end of the sudden appearance of "channels", source energy molecules, and transcendentals, these things may have existed as early as 7500 years ago, you can't say that there was a collider 7500 years ago, right?
Jiang Chanji and No. 15's minds were a mess, with thousands of thoughts, and there were too many things they wanted to ask, but they had no clue.
"When I first got this thing, I was just as shocked as you are...... No, even more shocked than you, I asked three separate laboratories outside the university to date them, and the results were almost indistinguishable. The head of the academy sighed, "I didn't want to take this thing out, because it is so important that the history of mankind will be rewritten because of it, but fortunately, the sisters of the monastery did not come with you, otherwise I am not sure that devout believers will be able to accept this shocking fact......"
Jiang Chanji and the others finally came to their senses, and he couldn't wait to ask, "Captain, this thing ...... Where did you get it?"
"It was pure accident. "As I said, there are a lot of teachers stationed abroad in our school, and you don't think that these teachers have nothing to do but deal with the 'channel', right? ”
"Not long ago, a teacher based in North Africa took part in a joint archaeological excavation led by a foreign school out of personal interest and excavated this skull in a site – this is nothing, archaeological excavations are commonplace to unearth human remains, and this is not a particularly old skull. ”
"According to the normal workflow of archaeology, archaeologists must wear gloves when excavating and cleaning, so as not to damage the artifacts caused by sweat on their hands. The teacher was also working very seriously, but the local workers had a car accident while transporting the excavated cultural relics, she was also in the car at the time, although she was only slightly injured, but the fuel tank of the vehicle had caught fire, in order to rescue the cultural relics from the car accident, she didn't care so much, she took whatever she could, and then touched the skull without gloves......"
You can imagine how shocked she was at the time, because the stakes were so high, she didn't stick to the norm, quietly hid the skull, and claimed that it was lost in the car accident. She for...... To prevent anyone from eavesdropping, he quietly returned to the school with his skull and confessed the matter to me in person. ”
Obviously, the head of the academy was referring to someone eavesdropping, presumably referring to the ubiquitous ninjas, but that wasn't the point.
"I trusted the teacher to the fullest, but because of the stakes, I reluctantly accepted the fact after a series of secret tests. ”
The head of the house stared at them, "You're lucky, not many of the teachers know about it. ”
"But the dean ...... You said that she was revered as a god by others during her lifetime......" Jiang Chanji stammered a little.
"In ancient times, when science was not yet known, if a man could do something unimaginable to others, she would be called either a god or a demon, and judging by all the signs of the ruins, she should be the former. The dean explained.
If she had been a god, wouldn't the mythological history of mankind ......
"Is there any essential difference between the terms 'god' and 'transcendent' compared to the concept of 'ordinary and ordinary people,' or simply 'mortals'?"
The head of the academy looked at Jiang Chanji's waist, and he carried the metal bottle containing the firefly's bodily fluids in his trouser pocket.
"If it were in ancient times, your bottle would have been rumored to be a mutton fat jade purity bottle that could turn any living thing into pus, and you would be the prototype of the Golden Horn King. ”
"Uh......"
Although he was extremely shocked, Jiang Chanji still couldn't cry or laugh.
The head of the academy regretfully glanced quietly at the position where the sect master was standing, as if he was saying to Jiang Chanji and them, but in fact he was saying to the sect master:
"I know that you ninjas came west from the Far East Islands to find the reincarnation of the Morichi Bodhisattva, but unfortunately, the Morichi Bodhisattva is probably just a transcendent person with some kind of stealth ability, with a compassionate heart that likes to help the needy, in ancient times when information was purely passed on by word of mouth, and three people could become tigers, she, like other transcendents, was added to spread many other abilities that she did not have, and finally formed a 'god' recognized by everyone. ”
No. 15 said with difficulty: "I don't believe it, according to what you say, the ancient gods were actually transcendent, but there are obviously so many male gods......"
The head of the academy nodded, "My next words are all my own guesses, there is no basis for half a point, just for reference." There are three possibilities for male gods in ancient times, one is that at that time it was in the process of changing from a matrilineal clan to a patrilineal clan, and a male god was subjectively needed, so the male god may have been made up out of this need; second, many gods have both male and female forms, and have the ability to change their appearance, which may be that many female gods are mistaken for male gods; and finally the third point is ...... It is not excluded that men at that time could also awaken. ”
"Huh?"
Jiang Chanji and No. 15 seemed to have been hit by a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and they were dumbfounded.
The head of the house knew what they were shocked about, "I said this is speculation, and there is only one way to prove the third point, which is to find an ancient male skull and sense a source reaction from it...... But this is difficult, and so far, we have only found the only ancient female skull with active reactions. ”
"After such a long time, only the skulls of the extraordinary, which were particularly powerful at that time, could there be a little bit of source energy that had not completely dissipated, and the skulls of the ancients excavated by archaeology were all preserved in various museums around the world...... It's time-consuming and labor-intensive. The dean smiled wryly.
"If that's the case, I can send my subordinates to help......"
As the voice rang out, the silhouette of the sect master emerged from the air.
"Sect Master!" 15 was shocked.
Jiang Chanji was not surprised, but he also pretended to be surprised, he knew that the sect master appeared because he couldn't help it, and after hearing these amazing facts, even the sect master's concentration was not enough.
The Sect Master ignored the two of them and said to the Academy Headmaster, "As long as your school doesn't object. ”
If you can get the strong support of the sect master, the progress can be accelerated a lot. ”
The head of the academy walked over and shook hands with the sect master.
The sect master arrived in a hurry, pulled out the hanging bottle that had not been lost, changed into a ninja suit and came, and before he could say hello to the head of the academy, Jiang Chanji and they arrived.
"The sect master's kindness is appreciated by this school, but I want to remind the sect master that the urgency of this matter is not very high, you can know the autumn in one leaf, even if you find more skulls, and even find the ancient male skulls with active reactions, in fact, the meaning is very limited, no matter why ancient men can awaken and modern men can't, it is already an established fact, we can only accept it and cannot change it, so don't delay the normal work of your hospital because of this." The dean said earnestly.
The sect master nodded, "I know it in my heart." ”
Before that, no ninja would enter the museum to steal information, it was useless and worthless information, but if the ninja planned to participate, they didn't have to work as hard to infiltrate as the teachers of Momiji Academy, and as for moral issues, it was not within the scope of the ninjas' consideration.
As Jiang Chanji guessed, the sect master originally only planned to wait and see the changes, and did not plan to show up, even if the 15th made a move here, if the academy leader was prepared, it could only kill himself, but the astonishing facts said by the academy leader had not even been heard of before, which showed that this matter was kept very secret.
In particular, the head of the academy's statement about the Morichi Bodhisattva made the sect master suffer a great blow, even if the academy leader said it himself, she was still a little difficult to accept, because the old Zen master of the Zen Academy had clearly understood the Zen machine and said that the reincarnation of the Morichi Bodhisattva would save the Ninja Academy from danger and help the Ninja Academy flourish......
The old Zen master's Zen machine often takes several years or even more than ten years to be enlightened, but it will be fulfilled every time, and there has never been a mistake.
You can't make a mistake with the Zen machine, it's just that the way you interpret the Zen machine may be biased.
If the head of the academy is right, and the old Zen master is not wrong, is the so-called "reincarnation" actually referring to a person who has the same abilities as the Morichi Bodhisattva?
There is no doubt that Zhao Man is the best candidate with her unique stealth ability.
But to save the Ninja Academy from danger, the most recent one was obviously this child named Jiang Chanji who rescued her from the depression, but Zhao Man was the one who almost made the Ninja Academy recover...... But Jiang Chanji does not have the ability to stealth.
The sect master couldn't figure it out, so he simply didn't think about it for the time being, because the so-called Zen machine, or the will of heaven, is something that is destined to happen, and everyone is just a chess piece in the Zen machine.
"If there was an Transcendent 7,500 years ago, why did it disappear later, and if the Transcendent appeared for the same reason as now, wouldn't it mean that the 'passage' would close itself after a period of time and no longer open for thousands of years?" the Sect Master asked.
This is a very critical issue, which is related to everyone's attitude towards the "channel" in the future.
The head of the academy shook his head slightly, "It is conservatively estimated that the last 'passage' lasted at least one or two thousand years, and it took a rich and colorful myth to form in the history of various civilizations, and now we have only a few decades later, and I think that the current 'passage' may be larger than at that time, and the population density is not the same, it will really take one or two thousand years, and the human race may be dead......
She looked at No. 15 again, "The 'passages' did not originate from our side, they may be periodically connected to the earth and another world for natural reasons, if you look at it from the perspective of the history of the earth, the appearance of the 'passage' should be a good thing, a great thing." ”
Everyone was stunned and didn't understand the logic of the dean.
The head of the academy explained: "If the ancient gods were actually transcendent, then the various ancient divine beasts, such as phoenixes, dragons, unicorns, giant snakes, etc., may not be made up by the ancients, maybe they have really seen similar transcendent creatures. ”
Jiang Chanji couldn't help but shudder when he thought of the giant beast in the depression that only showed one claw.
"There was a 'passage' 7,500 years ago, so I have reason to think that it was also possible to appear earlier, such as the rumored prehistoric civilization that was glorious tens of thousands of years ago, I used to scoff at these folk sciences, but if there was also a 'passage' tens of thousands of years ago, it is really hard to say. ”
"Further inference, if it appeared tens of thousands of years ago, it could have happened even earlier, and even the entire biological history of the earth is inextricably linked with the creatures of another world, the Cambrian explosion of life, the emergence and extinction of dinosaurs...... Maybe genes from another world have already been mixed into our blood. ”
The academy leader stared at his palms in distraction.
