My brother and I were chatting about what happened in Guangxi and what we encountered. I said to him: "The jade in that mine is definitely not ordinary jade. A crack in those jade can heal automatically in a short time." , that is to say, what special ingredients should be contained in the jade there, such as quick repair effect.

The formation of those stone figures was obviously made by putting real people into jade, thus forming such human-shaped jade figures.

However, if you want to form a human-like shape, then the jade must not be hard at the moment of rapid healing, but should be a fluid substance like resin, otherwise it will not be able to wrap the person so snugly, and it will not be able to wrap the person so snugly. It would definitely not be able to form such a humanoid shell. Then after a certain period of time, when the surrounding temperature is low, this resin-like flowable substance will become more and more viscous, and finally solidify, like the amber corpse cocoon of a bronze tree, or The jade holy infant should have been wrapped in something like this.

However, the amber corpse cocoon and the Holy Infant should be an ancestor who wanted to be reborn, and purified the resinous substance that could preserve the human body, and then used it to store the corpse. Therefore, the green stone man and corpse cocoon, both in appearance and Actual uses are still different.

But no matter whether it is a living person or a dead person when it is put in, it will definitely be a corpse after being completely wrapped in it. Although the stone people here are usually embedded in the mountain wall, they can sense very subtle temperatures. They seem to have It's a living thing, so the corpse inside must have been tampered with.

The location of these green stone figures should be at the outermost edge of the ancient tomb. Just like the team of corpse crickets, flocks of human-faced birds, and masked monkeys encountered before, they are used to prevent people from entering the tomb. According to convention, the corpse must have There will also be some kind of symbiotic creature that controls the stone corpse to attack people.

I estimate that as the temperature rises in a certain place, the jade-like stones may begin to soften or even melt. The things inside these stone people can feel the slight temperature, and they can soften and melt. Slowly approaching the hotter part of the mountain wall.

The jade shell has repairing power and can keep the corpse fresh. It will also extend the life of the symbiotic organisms in the corpse. The symbiotic organisms inside are very sensitive to temperature. They like temperatures such as human body temperature, but they are afraid of being scalded. If the temperature is low, they will They are stuck in the stone as if hibernating and become active when the temperature is right. Among the symbiotic organisms studied by the Queen Mother of the West, snakes are the most suitable for this characteristic. And these jade stone figures, I think, are upgraded versions of the jade servants of human-snake symbiosis. .

I'm thinking now that everyone in the Zhang family has a clone. Is it possible that they first use the power of the meteorite copper to pull another self in the meteorite copper world here, and then use this material to make the meteorite copper Seal the world yourself and take it out when needed to extend your life?
Brother, everyone in the Zhang family has a replica. Do you think you also have one? If so, where will your replica be? In an ancient building in Guangxi?

Also, do you remember whether you went down to the ancient tombs in Guangxi with Zhang Qishan and the others?If so, it's a good thing to say that they really kidnapped us after all. In the year under Zhang Qishan's management, they did take action and failed miserably.

But if you really haven't been there with them, then how could they get in without Zhang Qiling?The mechanism in the ancient building should only be cracked by Zhang Qiling. Could it be that they really found your clone, or really made a copy of you? The clone carries your memory, so they asked the clone to take them there? ?If not, they probably found a shortcut, we just don't know it. "

Bai Hao interjected: "Xiao Qiling, I think what Xiaoxun said is very possible. Also, the guy with the slumped shoulders you are trying to arrest, my feeling when fighting him is that he should be your Zhang Family, but he may not be on the same side as you. He might be a survivor of Zhang Qishan’s trip. Judging from his skills, he is definitely not an ordinary Zhang family member. If he has murderous intentions towards you, it will definitely be a fierce battle. You must be careful when you meet him again."

The elder brother was silent, seeming to be thinking very seriously, but said nothing.

Bai Hao said "Hey", placed the last dish in his hand and said to us: "Okay, come here, think about things, and your stomach must be filled first. During the day, Xiao Wuxie said that he would check the files at night. I should be rummaging around in a while."

My brother picked me up and walked to the dining table. I said to Bai Hao: "I have already started searching, but he is looking in the ordinary archives area now. The information that can be left in the ordinary area should not be too confidential. Archeology The team itself has big secrets, and I don’t think their information will be stored in such a public area. The real big secret must be hidden deep, and it won’t be placed somewhere where anyone can check it.” said Then I waved my little hand, suspended the picture on Wu Xie's side, opened the video box, and played it directly.

Bai Hao took a thick soft cushion and placed it on the little brother's lap. The little brother motioned for me to hold his arm. I hugged him tightly. He raised his arm and hooked me with the other hand. I was hanging in mid-air for a moment. He tried not to hurt me, and gently put me on the cushion and let me sit down. When I sat down, I hugged him and leaned on his chest. His arms were as firm as a backrest, surrounding me in his arms.

Bai Hao sat down by himself and said with a smile: "It's quite comfortable for you, Xiao Qiling, be careful she lets you get used to her."

I looked at him sideways and said, "What are you talking about? Are you jealous that my brother treats me well?"

Bai Hao said: "I have nothing to be jealous of."

I chuckled and said, "Really? Who was that Qipou Xiaowei who secretly hugged me last time? What else could you say? The little girl has grown up, and now only Zhang Qiling can hug me. My brother hasn't hugged you for a long time. I want to I think I’m still a little jealous.”

After I finished speaking, I winked at him mischievously. Bai Hao was stunned and said: "Little girl, you..." Then he suddenly felt a little embarrassed and drank a glass of fruit wine he brewed in one go.

I stretched out my little hand and grabbed his sleeve and said to him: "Brother Bai Hao, I know you love me." I shook him coquettishly, and he couldn't help but smile like an old father.

The little brother put a mouthful of food to my mouth, lowered his head slightly and looked at me. I opened my little mouth and took it into my mouth.

Bai Hao smiled and said: "Looking at how beautiful you are, I fully feel what it means to be a great woman."

I smiled and shook my little head, raised my head and looked at my little brother. He had already put another mouthful of food to my mouth, and he looked a little half-smiling.

Wu Xie and the others were looking through the old files from 1980 to 1985. As time passed, the document bags were picked up and put back one by one.

Wang Meng looked sad and muttered: "Boss, there are not many left."

Wu Xie originally thought that although Changsha was located in the Chu region, although there were relatively many archaeological activities, the absolute number was not much. However, he saw that there was indeed a shelf full of archives.

He thought that he would be able to find information about the participants by sorting it by year and category. Unexpectedly, he had gone through the files from the past five years and did not see any document bags related to the Xisha archeology. It could be said that Nothing was found.

He asked the man named Dujuan Mountain: "Are there any other places?"

Dujuan Shan shook his head and said, "If it's gone here, it basically means it doesn't exist. Unless the file is in the confidential archives, then it won't be placed here. Otherwise, it was specially destroyed."

But Wu Xie thought about it and said: "It's just archeology. Even if it is a secret, there is no reason why it should be kept secret to that extent."

Du Juanshan smiled and said: "Actually, this is a common thing. Maybe as you said, the archaeological team disappeared later. This is considered a big deal. Maybe the files were disposed of to keep it confidential." Wu Xie Feeling depressed, he arranged the file bags neatly and walked out of the file room angrily. He had actually expected that this would not be so easy. He thought to himself, it was a pity that two cigarettes were wasted, and what should I do next? .

He murmured in his heart that if this road didn't work, Menyouping would have no one to interact with in this world except Xiaoxun.

At this time, Wu Xie suddenly saw the stairwell in front of him and the stairs going down. It seemed that there was another layer underground in the archives.

There was an iron door at the entrance of the stairs, locked with a thick rusty iron chain, and there was a seal from an unknown age attached to the door.

Wu Xie asked: "Where is the place down here?"

Du Juanshan looked over and replied: "Well, it was the archives room before the [-]s. It was locked for fear of causing trouble. No one has opened this door for decades."

Wu Xie suddenly became curious and said, "Really?" He then took a flashlight to shine.

When they saw the rusty chain on the door, they heard Wu Xie say: "It has been cut off."

Wang Meng and Du Juanshan looked over, and Wang Meng said, "It's true, the boss has good eyesight. If you don't look carefully, it's really not easy to spot."

Dujuan Shan said: "It's already opened and you're still hanging on it to show off?"

Wu Xie shook his head and smiled and said, "You are wrong. This means that someone has gone in." Wu Xie looked down through the iron gate's fence with a flashlight and saw a lot of debris piled on the stairs. The things were also covered with dust, and an old smell came up.

Dujuan Shan looked at him and asked, "You don't want to go down there, do you? It's so dirty inside!"

Wu Xie was very hesitant. Although the chain was broken, it might not necessarily have anything to do with it. There could be a million reasons why the chain was broken, or it might even have never been locked at all. There are all kinds of bizarre reasons. Maybe, it’s none of your business?I just thought forget it and go back.

Just when he was about to give up and leave, he flicked the flashlight out of reflex, and it happened to shine on the seal beside the door.

He was immediately stunned, seeing that the writing on it was calligraphy, and he was immediately attracted. He thought that he might be suffering from the sequelae of making rubbings, and he would always take a look at the calligraphy whenever he saw it.

He had a strange feeling in his heart. He felt that the position of the seal was a bit strange. It was too low and looked a bit eye-catching. The seal was very old and was still firmly attached to the door. It was not broken and was complete.

He called Du Juanshan and said, "It's strange, look! This seal seems to have been affixed later."

He went over to take a look, and felt strange and said, "Maybe the institute found that the iron chain had been cut, so they put a seal on it."

Wu Xie said: "If that's the case, why not get a new chain and lock it again? What's the use of putting a seal on it?"

Wang Meng said: "That is, a person who has broken the chain chain will still be afraid of this kind of paper seal?"

Du Juanshan said: "There is nothing valuable here. Maybe they think the value of the things inside is not as valuable as a chain!"

Wu Xie smiled and said: "It makes sense." But he was thinking in his heart that the reason why these old files are still lying here is just because they are not only worthless to people today, but they may also require a lot of money to process. , but it is not necessarily worthless to the people at that time.

He looked at the words on the seal which read: July [-], [-], sealed by the Institute of Archeology of XX University.

He looked at the few calligraphy characters and thought they were well written and looked familiar. He thought that the calligraphy must have been imitated by a calligrapher he was familiar with. The seal was signed in [-], but at that time Wen Jin has disappeared, this matter should have nothing to do with them.

He couldn't help but rejoice in his heart, yes!Hope is completely dashed, go back and start all over again!So he called Du Juanshan and Wang Meng: "Open the way." Several people went back along the original road.

Wu Xie didn't make much progress either. After we had dinner, I continued to lie on my brother's chest. Bai Hao packed up his things and sat next to us. One brother and the other looked at my little notebook and the other looked at me. picture album.

After a while Bai Hao said: "Girl, there are always some black pages and black unicorn marks in your picture album. What are they?"

I nodded and said, "Yes, my blood can untie the red, purple and gold ones, but my blood is useless for those black ones."

Bai Hao reached out and touched the little unicorn on the sign and said, "Does it require his blood to unlock it?"

My younger brother and I looked at him at the same time, and I suddenly felt a sudden realization and said, "That's right." Then I looked at my younger brother and said, "Before, when I was Ziyan, I gave my brother a black book, and the words on it were I can’t understand anything, so this black sign must be for you, a message that can only be read by you.”
