Tang Qi Tan

That's right, this is the inspection site of the sixth patriarch Huineng's golden body/physical body relics that came to Beijing. Along with this, there are also a batch of rare objects that have been found successively from the east and west of Lingnan; but the most conspicuous The one with the six groups of golden statues is the bronze nobleman.

Along with the chief and deputy officers in charge of the escort, they unlocked the special double mechanism lock, and after opening the noble door carved into two saffron trees; in an instant, a shriveled figure with slightly bowed head and sitting cross-legged was revealed.In an instant, it was as if invisible ripples spread out on the spot.

Therefore, in the special containers present, from time to time there are precious lights flickering, and it seems that there are invisible whispers whispering in the ear; however, when you concentrate on listening, they completely disappear.In contrast, the dark and shriveled mottled golden body seemed motionless.

However, Jiang Tian saw a prompt in his field of vision: "I found that the spiritual energy is spreading, should I use a container to collect it?" With a look on his face, he stood in place like a statue.

At this moment, it seems that all the language and background sounds in the scene disappeared in an instant, leaving only the silence that makes people feel extremely safe, comfortable and peaceful, and it seems to be immersed in the water without disturbing anything. It's good for people to maintain it for such a long time.

And when Jiang Tian chose to confirm, a yellow bead suddenly appeared in his hand, which was the unidentified condensate brought back by another small lake in the medieval world; In the jaw, all the reminders disappeared in an instant.

With the disappearance of the reminder, everyone present recovered from this vision as if they had just woken up from a dream; and the monks and believers gathered outside, not to mention when the ground was kneeling in darkness and praying loudly . "What did you all hear?" Jiang Tian couldn't help asking:
"The Bodhisattva speaks the Dharma, and the heavenly dragon sings." "Golden flowers fall to the ground, and the gate of heaven opens wide."Then, to Jiang Tian's surprise, everyone's answers are almost different, just like a reflection of a certain inner tendency.

However, seeing the reactions of those present, Jiang Tian was already convinced that the invisible spiritual energy emanating from the golden body of the Sixth Patriarch had the power to soothe the soul and calm down emotional fluctuations, and even to wash away selfish distractions in a disguised form and temporarily eliminate conflicts. various special effects.

Therefore, when the invisible effect spreading throughout the city was interrupted by Jiang Tian, ​​the members of the supervisory department, including the deputy supervisor Yu Cong who was also present, as well as eunuchs such as Duke Hai from Ouchi, could not help but show a sense of loss. Or regret, like losing something important.

As a result, the monks present became even more devout and convinced, with an expression of consciousness and determination that if you dare to tamper with the Sixth Patriarch's golden body, I would dare to fight you desperately, not hesitate to splash blood on your face.However, Jiang Tian, ​​who was invited to come to witness and identify, did not intend to cause trouble outside this festival.

Because according to the prior agreement, the golden body of the Sixth Patriarch will stay in the Guanyin Temple/Grand Guanyin Temple; after receiving the worship of the believers for a period of time, it will be sent to Da Nei to receive the royal offerings.Then, multiple departments in the imperial court united to accept further research and experiments in secret. …

However, the subsequent appraisal of the strange objects that came to Beijing with the golden body, those rare objects presented by the Liangling area, was a bit disappointing.In addition to a green bead that shines when exposed to water, there is also a mirror that can vaguely reflect the outline of the inner organs when facing the light. It is said to be the bronze mirror of the King of Nanyue that was confiscated from the tomb robbers.

Other oddities are just a bunch of glamorous items; or in other words, they are just some existences with traces of energy contamination; therefore, as time goes by, the energy diffuses and overflows, basically showing no function and effect.In other words, it may have been radiated nearby by a strong energy source.

However, when Jiang Tian told this conclusion to all the people present on the spot, their expressions were quite subtle; and Yu Cong suggested to shut up on the spot with a serious face.Then, he pulled Jiang Tian aside, and persuaded him earnestly, "Jianzheng, please be careful with your words!"

"Speak carefully?" Jiang Tian didn't understand, so he said, "Could it be that there is something hidden behind these things?"

"Anything related to the Nanhai Office is really too big a deal!" Yu Cong was full of surprise.
Shaking his head slightly: "Could it be that you want to take this speculative speculation and write to the imperial court to try to prove it; may there be more powerful strange things hidden and hidden in the local area?"

"What, there will be such a thing?" Jiang Tian couldn't help being surprised: but then he came back to his senses and felt that this possibility is not impossible; after all, although the world is still generally peaceful as before, but the reports and knowledge of various changes, It is enough for some local powerful factions to prepare for a rainy day.

After pressing this next episode, and after returning to the underground Xijing branch with two strange objects, Jiang Tian even thought about the corresponding use.This blue bead can be used as a fire-free light source in a certain sense; while the Nanyue King Mirror is more like the rumored Qin King Bone Mirror.

It is an ancient mysterious version of a simple X-ray irradiator, which shows different levels of projection molding effects according to the strength of the refracted light source.This is of great use for the heterogeneous research/autopsy of the Xijing branch, as well as the wound detection of many surgical operations.

However, here he received good news, bad news, and neither good nor bad news.The good news is that after this period of recuperation, due to the excessive use of the secondary derivative "Huayu", resulting in mutations to varying degrees, the surviving soldiers of the Battle of Xiegu.

Most people have recovered physically and stabilized their mental state. They no longer see all kinds of inexplicable fantasies and are dominated by desire for flesh and blood, which lead to manic self-mutilation and disorderly aggressive behavior.But the bad news is that several of them did not survive this physical and mental transformation.

The result of losing consciousness and control is that the whole body suddenly writhes violently on the special restraint device, bursting and shattering on the spot, leaving a mess of flesh and blood on the ground, or in the overheated ice water pool used to cool the body, suddenly It melted into a big puddle of thick blood.

So in the end, there were 37 soldiers who had completed different degrees of transformation; they were able to join the supervisory action team/backup team directly under Jiang Tian; together with the more than ten existing members left behind, they just formed five special service teams. Other lay soldiers conduct running-in training. …

The news, which is neither good nor bad, happened in the underground secret vault deep in the supervisory department.Afterwards, Jiang Tian came to the passageway under the large hollow inside the stone wall behind the main building of the yamen.After a heavy iron door at the end was opened, a giant tank was immediately revealed inside.

And in this translucent glazed vat, which is taller than a person, faintly floats; the half of the mummy Jiang Tian brought back from the underground water city of Dongdu.It's just that the color has become darker again, and the flesh and blood flowers extending from the various apertures have become more prosperous and dense.

It is also like many groups of swaying, yellow, white and pink deep-sea jellyfish, which have spread more than half of the tank space; even without any external force, it seems to follow the subtle frequency and rhythm, in the extremely clear tank fluid. , shrinking and expanding as if breathing faintly.

However, according to the observation records left during this period; after a long period of cutting off the feeding of flesh and blood organs; the mummy and its derivatives still grow and expand in a slight way, as if with some kind of The invisible environment changes, and gradually becomes active.

"Look, Superintendent, this is the latest discovery of our institute." The chief medical officer Bai Bohuan, who was just called over, wiped off the unknown stains on the mask, and at the same time used a long-handled probe with a pliers head to look far away. He stretched it into the big glazed vat, and was immediately entangled by the fleshy whiskers that touched it.

Immediately, a section of the struggling and wriggling pink and white hair was clamped off; after being exposed to the air, it quickly shriveled, shrunk and turned black, and was quickly thrown into a transparent container.Immediately afterwards, a mouse was thrown in, and the shriveled whiskers suddenly moved like a leech.

In a blink of an eye, it plunged into the mouse's eye socket, and then disappeared on the rolling, struggling, hissing and screaming mouse.The next moment, the mouse, which was twitching all over and turned its legs upside down, suddenly wriggled violently on its belly, swelled up wriggling blood tumors, and then exploded.

In the blood stained with only a piece of mouse skin left, a mass of flesh and blood squirmed to stand up, and then stretched out with a small hiss.However, at this moment, Jiang Tian suddenly saw a severely shrunk version of the outline of a deformed beast; then he violently hit and bit the glass container.

However, after just a dozen breaths, the mouse was born on the cadaver.

The deformed body that was born quickly loses its activity under the artificial strong light, and melts into a pool of red and black sticky matter; it is like the corpse of the beast that was dissected in public when it was first used in Jinwu Street.

Jiang Tian couldn't help but realize something in his heart, maybe the growths growing out of this half of the mummy, which look like cordyceps sinensis, are the underground water city in the Eastern Capital, one of the sources of those mutants.Thinking that I had personally touched this mummy, I couldn't help feeling a little chilly.

"Jianzheng Mingjian, I have tried other living things." Then Bai Bohuan continued: "Among them, tortoises, frogs, snakes and lizards have the worst effect, they will only turn into a mass of rotten meat; chickens, ducks, and geese come next. , can be resurrected for a short time, but it will soon disintegrate and fester; and then there are pigs and sheep.”

"Even if the head of a pig or sheep is cut off, as long as it is attached by this thing, it can continue to toss for several hours without a head; even a blood tumor grows from the fracture, but once it is punctured , and fell to the ground and festered. But the internal organs melted afterward.”

"However, larger living creatures are overgrown by this thing, as long as the weight is not enough, they can still live for a period of time; only the epiphysis will produce different degrees of distortion such as horniness, scales, and bone plates; After cutting it open, it can be seen that it is as huge as a nucleus, like a seed of flesh and blood..."

"Then, the dug out flesh and blood seeds are buried in the living bodies of other livestock, and after a while there will be new changes; more horns will be added, the bones will harden, and the minions will grow; some of them are quite close to those The characteristics of a strange beast. But the key lies in the flesh and blood."
