Yin trace

No matter how you look at it from beginning to end, this Jade Rakshasa has nothing to do with human beings.So it was difficult for Chen Ziyun to accept such an explanation.

But Tian Peng turned back and said: "This is possible. The shape change of this creature is really surprising. The corpse was still gray and black just now, but now it has changed, as if it has been silicified. The whole shape is humanoid , perhaps it can be said that it is more similar to the bones of primates. You see, the lower body of this creature even has male-like characteristics." Tian Peng is very strict in medical skills, and he speaks carefully in every sentence.

Tian Peng thought for a while before continuing: "I suspect that this so-called Jade Rakshasa may be a human or primate infected by an unknown virus, which will change into this form. If the deduction is true, this It is a case worth studying, and even if it is not, we can identify what species it is. Through research, we can learn its shortcomings and formulate corresponding solutions." Tian Peng took out the sealed bottle in which the specimen was taken from his backpack, Carefully cut the tissue from Yu Luosha's body.While cutting, he said: "It's a pity that we are entering the mountain now, and this corpse cannot be taken away. Otherwise, if we bring it back to the research institute for research, we will definitely have greater discoveries."

Ye Ya expressed disdain for Tian Peng's speech.She said coldly: "With your level, you can't study anything." Tian Peng didn't care about Ye Ya's blow.Tian Peng has always kept a respectful distance from this iceberg beauty.

Chen Ziyun frowned and said, "How can a person become such a thing?" Although Ye Ya's words were absurd, but with Tian Peng doing a scientific analysis, Chen Ziyun believed it almost [-]%.

Ye Ya went on to say: "In ancient times, jade mining usually organized local labor labor. In late summer and early autumn, when the river water was warm, the jade material was fished from the river, but the harvest of such jade mining was extremely unstable. The main source of jade material was It still depends on the production from the mine veins in the deep mountains." When Ye Ya said this, his voice was a little low: "In ancient times, people believed that jade was a very spiritual thing, and it was a treasure of the mountain god. After the jade was picked, a ceremony must be held , offering sacrifices to mountain gods, and sacrifices can be divided into living sacrifices and dead sacrifices."

Chen Ziyun looked surprised, he really hadn't heard much about what Ye Ya said.Ye Ya looked at the two Jade Rakshasa on the ground, and said with a somewhat complicated expression: "The sacrifices are the people who participated in the jade mining. The so-called death sacrifice is to kill the labor laborers who participated in the jade mining, and take their blood. It is poured on the walls of the mines they used to mine; as a living sacrifice, these people are driven into the mine, and stones are piled outside to death, and the people inside are starved to death and suffocated to death."

Chen Ziyun took a deep breath, feeling that this way of offering sacrifices was too evil.In his heart, he was more inclined that the so-called sacrificial sacrifice should be that the officials at that time killed all the insiders in order to keep the secret of the location of the jade veins and prevent the people from stealing them, and then entrusted them with such a name.

"What does this have to do with Jade Rakshasa?" Chen Ziyun listened for a long time, but Ye Ya still didn't get to the point, so he felt a little anxious.

"Don't worry." Ye Ya gave Chen Ziyun another big roll of his eyes, and then continued: "The people who are sacrificed don't necessarily die immediately. Some mines are not tightly blocked, and air can still enter. People inside can live longer Some. But being alive is not necessarily a good thing. Do these people need food and drinking water in order to survive, or want to live longer? Where do you think they can get food and drinking water in this desperate situation?" Ye Ya's voice became a little eerie.

Chen Ziyun frowned, his face was a little pale.Seeing Chen Ziyun's expression, Ye Ya flashed a strange smile on his face, and said, "You think right, the corpse and blood of your companion are the food for those trapped in the mine. Relying on the corpse of your companion, they Can survive for a long time."

"But even so, they can't become like this?" Chen Ziyun looked puzzled, pointing to the corpse of Yu Luocha on the ground, questioning Ye Ya's words.

Ye Ya said coldly: "The environment determines mutation. Don't forget that the place where these people are located is the jade mine that has just been mined. According to the legends left by the predecessors, it is said that jade veins have spirituality, and jade is to suppress The treasure of ancient evil spirits, when the jade mine is mined clean, these evil spirits will be released, sacrifice to the mountain gods, and lock the living people into the mine cave, also in order to let the evil spirits attach to these people, and then trap them in the mine. Do not come out of the cave to harm the world."

Chen Ziyun shook his head.Such an explanation is too unscientific, and it is difficult for him to accept it.He suddenly remembered the strangeness of Ye Ya in his tent before, and asked: "It seems that you have noticed their existence before the Jade Rakshasa appeared?"

Ye Ya nodded and admitted: "Yes, my ears are more flexible, and I can distinguish sounds that ordinary people can't hear." When Ye Ya said this, he added: "Of course, my nose is also very powerful."

Chen Ziyun was speechless for a while.This Ye Ya is really a monstrous existence.

"I've heard people say that in the mines deep in the southwestern mountains, there is a kind of half-dead people called Ganjizi." Wang Xiaowu, who was beside Chen Ziyun, said in a low voice.Under the altitude sickness, her voice changed a little.

"The muntjacs in the copper mine?" Chen Ziyun felt that Wang Xiaowu's words sounded familiar, and suddenly remembered the records in some ancient notebook novels he had read before, and blurted out.

"That's right." Wang Xiaowu nodded again and again: "Boss, how did you know? Have you seen it?" His eyes were full of reverence.There are not many people who know this secret.

Chen Ziyun shook his head, and said: "I just read it in the notebook novels, and thought it was just the work of the predecessors. I haven't taken it seriously."

"Tell me." After all, Ye Ya is not omniscient and omnipotent, and she is curious about this kind of deer man.

Chen Ziyun nodded, cleared his throat, and started talking.

It turns out that Yunnan was the main area of ​​copper production in ancient times.At that time, mining technology was backward and the risk factor was very high.Every time the mine collapses, a large number of miners are buried underneath.However, the cost of rescue is too high and the rescue technology is backward. Most of these absentee workers are left in the mine to fend for themselves.

These miners were not rescued, resentful, and were restrained by the smell of metal in the mine.It gradually turned into a walking corpse.It looks like they are still alive, but in fact they have been dead for a long time. The ancients used the dried deer to describe them, and called them dry deer, also known as deer people.If the living people encounter this thing in the mine, they will beg the living people to give them food and take them out; even when there are few people, they may be caught and eaten by the deer people when they meet them.

From the population of the older generation, it is not necessarily a bad thing if you encounter a dry muntjac.If a few deer want something, they can put forward conditions, pointing out where there are still veins extending in the mine, and the dry deer know the gas of metal well, so they will definitely be able to point the right direction.It's just that Ganjizi asked to take him out, so he must not fulfill his wish.Once the dried muntjac is exposed to the sun, it will melt and emit various stench, and anyone who smells it will die of plague.
