Chapter 16 Dry Corpse 2

"Yo, this big brother, are you also here to see the mummified body? The mummified body has been sent to the court, but the tomb is still there. As soon as she heard that it was related to the mummified corpse, Chun's sister-in-law became energetic and said eloquently, "Let me tell you, the mummified corpse is really scary. The face is rotten, and you can't see what it looks like. The day we dug it out..." Sister Chun said endlessly, as if the mummified corpse was dug from her house, or by herself.

The young Taoist priest seemed to be very patient. He kept smiling and listening to Sister Chun's words, and did not care about the foam that Spring Sister-intentionally splashed on him. When Mrs. Chun said, the young Taoist priest smiled and asked, "Sister-in-law, where is the pit now?"

Mrsao Chun pointed to the direction of digging out the mummified body and said, "It's right there. Take a hundred steps and turn left and you will see it."

"Thank you, sister-in-law." The young Taoist priest took out two hundred yuan from his pocket and handed it to his sister-in-law and said, "My master and I can stay in your village for one night tonight. Can your sister-in-law arrange a place for us?"

As soon as Chun's sister-in-law saw the two "old man's heads", her eyes were shining, and she smiled and said, "Then live in my house. My family is the only one who lives with my man. There are still many empty houses. You can live there, no problem as long you live there. But I can't take this money." With that, Sister Chun gently pushed back the young Taoist priest holding the money hand.

The young Taoist priest handed over the money again and said, "Yes, I want it." Otherwise, we will be embarrassed to trouble you."

Chun's sister-in-law said with a smile, "I really don't want to. My man will scold me if he knows it." Sister-in-law said no while taking the money and stuffing it into her pocket.

The young Taoist priest smiled and said, "I'll trouble my sister-in-law that night."

"It's okay." Sister Chun pointed to an earthy house with lanterns hanging at the door and said, "That's my house. You can come directly in a moment. I'll go back and help you prepare food first." With that, Sister-in-law ran back with a small step.

After the spring sister-in-law left, the young Taoist priest said to the elder Taoist priest, "Master..."

The elderly Taoist priest smiled and said, "Let's go."

On the foundation, the mummified corpse, oilcloth and bluestone slab have been taken away by the court. Now only the small pit where the mummified corpse once lay still exists, as if everyone told them that what had happened was true, and that mummified corpse really existed.

The marks on the earth pit that were once pressed flat by the bluestone slab are still clearly visible.

The two Taoist priests jumped into the foundation and walked to the small pit. The elderly Taoist priest took out a gossip-shaped compass from his arms and compared it towards the pit. The young Taoist priest did not interrupt, but stood quietly aside.

After a long time, the old Taoist priest took the gossip compass back into his arms and collected it close to him. He sighed and said, "It turned out to be true."

The young Taoist priest laughed and said, "Of course it's all true, otherwise it won't be stirred outside."

The old Taoist priest shook his head and said, "I'm not talking about the earthen corpse. I mean that what the patriarch said on his hand was true."

The young Taoist priest was stunned and said, "Hand prick?"

The old Taoist priest tapped his head and said, "This handbook was written by our founder. It has been passed down in our sect until now. It has been passed down for dozens of generations and has a history of 2,000 years."

The young Taoist priest scratched his head and asked, "Why don't I know?"

The old Taoist priest smiled and said, "This hand tie is a secret in our sect. It has always been handed over to the next leader by the previous leader, and the rest of the disciples are unknown."

The young Taoist priest nodded and said, "So, I said, how can I not hear it? Master, what's written on that hand?

The old Taoist priest shook his head and sighed and said, "What it says is a shocking secret. I have never believed it. If it hadn't been for the treasure of inheritance of successive leaders, I would have thrown it away."

The young Taoist priest came to the old Taoist priest's ear and asked softly, "Can you tell me what is written on it?"

The old Taoist priest laughed and said, "You are too curious. But I can't tell you that the secret is too amazing, and this hand tie can only be handed over to the next leader. If you want to know what is written on it, just practice hard for me. Don't humiliate me. You will know the content of this hand after you sit in my position.

The young Taoist priest touched his nose and whispered, "Then you have to wait until the year of the monkey."

The old Taoist priest stared at him angrily and continued to look at the pit where the mummified corpse once lay. The old Taoist priest sighed and said again: "The mummified corpse was unearthed, and the ignorant villagers exposed the mummified corpse directly to the moonlight. The mummified corpse has now absorbed the essence of the moonlight. Once I add several other factors, I'm afraid it will change the corpse."

The young Taoist said strangely, "How do you know that it has been exposed to the moonlight and absorbed the essence of the moonlight?"

The old Taoist priest stared at him and said angrily, "You can't feel it if you can't cultivate yourself. The yin gas in this pit is very heavy, and it has been mixed with the corpse gas and is more condensed, indicating that the corpse has been exposed directly under the moon and absorbed a large amount of moonlight and yin qi. If it hadn't been for any magic weapon to suppress it, it must have been changed long ago.

The young Taoist priest said in surprise, "In case someone removes the magic weapon that suppresses it, won't it be over?"

The old Taoist priest frowned and shook his head and said, "Not yet. We need something else."

The young Taoist priest said, "What is it?"

The old Taoist priest shook his head and did not answer him. He climbed out of the pit and said, "Let's go back early tomorrow to inform the Xiuzhen factions that the ancient corpse was unearthed. There are too many things involved in this matter. We must deal with it carefully."

The young Taoist priest climbed out of the pit with the old Taoist priest with a dissatisfied face and muttered, "Every time it's like this, I won't say anything in the middle of the story. The mysterious secret is whating people's appetite."

The old Taoist priest was not in the mood to pester him and walked straight to his sister-in-law's house.

The folk customs here are simple and the villagers are honest and kind, so every family usually sleeps with the door open at night except for winter wind protection, and few people close the door. Even so, there has never been a theft in the village, and the village has been very peaceful since its establishment.

"Yo, two brothers, you're back." As soon as she entered the door, Sister-in-law came out of the kitchen with a bowl of freshly fried vegetables. When she saw the two hurriedly put the vegetables on the table, she wiped them on her apron and said, "My man was busy killing my big hen when he heard that there was a guest coming today and said she would treat the two big brothers. This is not killing chickens in the back. Come on, the two brothers, sit down for a while, and dinner will be ready soon.

The two Taoist priests were not polite, smiled and sat down at the table. After a while, a strong man came in from the outside. The man held a big hen that had been bleeding and plucked out. When the spring sister-in-law saw the man come in, she quickly got up and took the white and tender hen from his hand and smiled, "You talk to the two big brothers first, and we'll cook the chicken later."

The man made two cups of tea for them, and then sat down beside them and said, "It's rare for guests to come to my house. Don't be polite. You can stay here as long as you want."

The old Taoist priest smiled and said, "What's the name of this big brother?"

The man opened his mouth and smiled, "Just call me Dachun."

The old Taoist priest smiled and said, "Well, I'm older. Let's call you Dachun."

"Hey." Dachun nodded in a hurry.

The old Taoist priest took a sip of tea and asked, "Dachun, why is your village called No Old Village?"

"This..." Dachun scratched his head and said, "I don't know much about this. I also heard my ancestors call this village a village, so we call it that."

The old Taoist priest nodded and asked, "When did the ancestors in your village move here?"

Dachun shook his head and said, "I don't know about this. Not to mention me, even the village head doesn't know. I only heard from the villagers that our village has a history of a hundred and eight years without thousands of years.

The young Taoist priest interrupted and asked, "Brother Dachun, have you seen the mummified corpse unearthed in your village?"

Dachun nodded and said, "Yes, I came down to help lift the big bluestone at that time."

The young Taoist priest asked again, "Did you see anything on the mumme at that time?"

Dachun looked up and thought about it and said, "There is nothing. The whole body is rotten, but there is a knife in the heart of the mummified corpse."

"Small knife?" The old Taoist priest was stunned and said, "What does that knife look like?"

Dachun said with his hands, "It's just so long, round, and there are four small leaves next to it. It's very strange."

Seeing this, the old Taoist priest lowered his head and whispered to himself, "Is it a nail soul shuttle?"

Dachun was stunned and said, "Brother, what are you talking about?"

The old Taoist priest shook his head and smiled, "Nothing. By the way, I heard that there was still a bluestone plate at that time, right?

Dachun nodded and replied, "Zhong, that big bluestone doesn't look good, but it's quite heavy to lift. More than a dozen of us can't lift it."

The old Taoist priest asked again, "I heard that there are some words engraved on the bluestone board?"

Dachun shook his head and said, "I heard that it's not a word, and it's strange to twist around. I heard that these seem to be symbols.

The old Taoist priest was waiting to ask another question. At this time, Chun's sister-in-law poked her head out of the kitchen and shouted, "Chunzi, come and help me chop the chicken."

Dachun walked into the kitchen with a sigh.

The young Taoist priest asked softly, "Master..."

The old Taoist priest shook his head gently to signal him not to speak.

This is a laboratory in the Institute of Human Genes. It is spacious and bright, with countless glass equipment in the room, which illustrates the identity of the owner here.

The owner of this laboratory is Dr. Li Nian, the imperial authority on human genetics.

At this moment, a slender figure in the laboratory is busy. That's a very beautiful girl. Her face is surprisingly beautiful, with curved thin eyebrows and snow-white skin, as if even a tear will tear her cheek. He has black hair with drooping shoulders and a white coat.

At this time, she is sorting out the messy equipment and classifying them one by one. From time to time, she peeked at a bed in the corner of the laboratory, ** lying a man, which should be said to be a corpse.

After countless years of being buried in the soil, the water on the body has already evaporated, leaving only the purple dry skin wrapped around the bone shelf, the facial features collapsed, the eyes and nose turned into black holes, and the hands were placed flat on both sides of the body. Surprisingly, there is a black thing inserted in the heart of the mummed corpse. It is like a dagger, but it is not like a dagger. It is conical, with thin sheets on all sides. The tip of the cone has been immersed in the dry body, and the top of the exposed outside is a smooth cylindrical, as if it is a handle for handshake.

It was a mummified corpse excavated in a remote town a few days ago. After identification, the mummified corpse has a history of at least 30,000 years. Surprisingly, he is well preserved, with no damage except that the body is black and dried due to loss of water.

For more than 30,000 years? The girl smiled unbelievablely. Human beings have only been civilized for thousands of years. How could human beings appear 30,000 years ago? If so, then human history will be rewritten.

She still clearly remembered Dr. Li Nian's ecstatic expression when she first saw the mummified corpse. At his repeated pleas, the research institute agreed to hand over the mummified corpse to the doctor for research. It's just that she doesn't understand why the doctor must study this mummified corpse? Is it just because it has a history of more than 30,000 years?

The girl stared at the mummed body. The dry muscles on the mummed body's face suddenly moved. The girl was shocked and sweated coldly.

After a while, when she saw that the mummified corpse did not move, the girl rubbed her eyes with her hand and saw that the mummified corpse was still lying there intact, and the muscles on her face did not seem to have changed.

Licking her dry lips, the girl laughed at herself and said, "I'm doing science. How can I have such a ridiculous idea? He has been dead for more than 30,000 years. How can he suddenly get up?

The girl shook her head and turned to continue her work.

"Huh, isn't this the bottle of blood that the doctor said can let him win the Nobel Prize? Why did you put it here?" The girl picked up a bottle of test tube full of blood-red ** from the table and looked at it carefully. She smiled and said, "Doctor, really. I always say how precious this thing is. Since it is so precious, why do you put it everywhere?"

The girl carefully took the blood-red** test tube and walked slowly to the cabinet next to the mummed corpse.

Passing by the mummified body, his heart trembled inexplicably. She closed her eyes and forced herself not to think about the corpse, and quickly walked across the bed where the mummified corpse was placed.

Suddenly, she tripped over the foot of the bed. In the exclamation, the test tube in her hand broke away from the delicate jade hands and flew to the air by itself. After several laps in the air, she finally fell to the ground.

"Dang!" The glass test tube finally couldn't stand the impact of the ground and broke.

The girl quickly got up and looked at the glass fragments and blood spilled everywhere with a frightened face.

"Xiaowei! What sound? ..." A thick male voice sounded from outside the door, and then an old man in a white coat came in. As soon as he entered the door and saw the scene in front of him, he immediately understood what had happened. He opened his mouth and stood still with an unbelievable expression on his face.

"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, Doctor." Lin Xiaowei said timidly in a sweet voice, "I really didn't mean to. I just wanted to put the test tube in the cabinet. How did I know that I suddenly slipped... I, I really didn't mean to..."

Dr. Li Nian didn't seem to hear what Lin Xiaowei was saying. In fact, he really didn't hear it. At this moment, even if someone shouted in his ear, he couldn't hear a word, because his heart was shattered like glass fragments on the ground. After a long time, Dr. Li Nian recovered. His eyes slowly turned red, his hands trembled slightly, and muttered, "Blood, my blood, the blood of my life..."

Lin Xiaowei said in a slightly crying voice, "Doctor, I... I really didn't mean to... I'm sorry..."

"Ge, Ge..." Dr. Li Nian's two rows of teeth were fighting, and the "cluck" sound generated by friction was unusually harsh in this quiet laboratory. His legs slowly softened, and finally knelt on the ground, stretched out a hand and lifted it slightly, as if he wanted to catch something, but he couldn't catch it. The tears of the two lines couldn't help scratching the old face full of wrinkles.

"Doctor, don't do this, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, doctor..." Lin Xiaowei's whole body and voice trembled because of violent crying.

The doctor's eyes were red, and he suddenly raised his head and roared loudly with all his strength: "My blood! ......”

Lin Xiaowei's tears gushed out like a spring, but she dared not speak any more.

"Oc. Li, Xiaowei didn't mean it." A middle-aged man in a straight suit and a little fat figure said behind the doctor.

At this time, the doctor seemed to realize that there was another person behind him, still kneeling, shook his head slowly, and choked with a sad face, "Deputy Director, you don't know how important these things are to me. It is the painstaking efforts of my life, my blood..."

The middle-aged man, who was called the deputy director, squatted down, patted Dr. Li Nian on the back, and comforted him softly: "It doesn't matter. If the blood is gone, you can study it again, but if you cry badly, you can't scratch it."

Research? Ha ha..." Dr. Li Nian shook his head feebly and smiled bitterly. This is the crystallization of his life. Can it be said that it can be studied?

Genetic blood, Dr. Li Nian spent decades of researching and planned to rely on it to get a Nobel Prize in his later years, but this hope has been dashed and destroyed in the hands of the seemingly angel-like but vicious-hearted woman. Thinking of the girl, the doctor raised his head and stared fiercely at Lin Xiaowei's fascinating face.

To meet the doctor's resentful eyes, Lin Xiaowei trembled gently, bit her lower lip and lowered her head, and did not dare to make contact with Li Nian's eyes.

The deputy director sighed heavily: "The blood is gone, what a big loss..." After saying that, he seemed to look at Lin Xiaowei with deep meaning, with a sinister smile on the corners of his mouth.

Lin Xiaowei trembled suddenly and knew that the deputy director was thinking about her again. The deputy director of the research institute was shocked when he first saw Lin Xiaowei. Since then, he has been taking the opportunity to confess to Lin Xiaowei. He even promised himself that if Lin Xiaowei would succumb to him, he would be willing to divorce his current wife, not even his nine-year-old son. The nasty man who despises marriage so much makes Lin Xiaowei feel disgusted and hates him more and more. Just because she works in his research institute, she has to perfunctory him every day.

Although Lin Xiaowei has told the deputy director more than once that it was impossible between them, the deputy director still did not give up and often took advantage of his position to get close to her. Just like this time, she caused a big trouble, and now only he can help her. But he will never help her relieve her for no reason, it must be for those obscene purposes. Thinking of this, Lin Xiaowei couldn't help shivering again.
