467 Murder
Sheng Tang's idea provided everyone with a new idea. The study was quiet for a long time, and Xiao nodded and said, "It's not impossible."
He looked at Jiang Zhi.
Jiang Zhi's eyebrows were always thoughtful. Although he did not express his opinion, judging from his expression, he agreed with the direction of Sheng Tang's judgment.
They temporarily call that thing "Fox Face", but in fact, Fox Face is also formed by a parasite that finally chooses a suitable plant for symbiosis. It is not known what the body of this thing looks like. It is what they saw in the cave.
Did you see a substance that resembles black mist? That’s not necessarily the case.
After careful study of the test pieces over the past two days, it was found that in addition to animal and plant properties, the composition of this substance also contains a large number of mineral components.
Most of the pigments used in ancient murals are from minerals, such as mica, lead white, chalk powder, etc. are used for white; iron black, carbon black, etc. are used for black; iron red, cinnabar, lead, etc. are used for red; and blue is used
To lapis lazuli, indigo and other series.
The parasites in the grottoes can not only melt into these mineral pigments, but also detect mineral components from their own composition, which is quite intriguing.
Jiang Zhi has compared the composition of parasites in grottoes and Han tombs more than once, and found that compared with Han tombs, the composition of parasites in grottoes is more complex. In addition to plant fibers and animal cells, the mineral composition is much higher than that in Han tombs.
This is enough to show that the parasites in the grottoes are older than the Han tombs, and this is indeed the case.
Parasites have the ability to choose a host and change according to conditions. Sheng Tang is right. This is also the survival method of this "ancient" parasite.
Just like a virus, if they want to survive and spread, they will screen various hosts. Some need to rely on non-living things, and some need to coexist with living things. This is the result of their repeated screening and selection.
For example, if germs that enter the human body want to survive or achieve symbiosis with the human body, they must undergo constant mutation.
This type of parasite is very adaptable and capable of mutation, so it is very possible to have autonomy in blood selection.
Qi Yu said, "You can't try it on an individual basis. People who don't know it might think we are going to conduct human experiments."
Shen Yao murmured thoughtfully, "What we speculate is that the earliest painters used paint mixed with blood to paint murals for the purpose of worship without understanding the parasites. Later, Professor Xue Fan used blood as ink to repair the murals.
The previously damaged part and the parasite do not reject the blood of these two people, so is there any necessary connection between them?"
"Not fresh?" Luo Zhan thought directly, "Whether it is the painter or Professor Xue Fan, the blood is fresh."
Jiang Zhi shook his head, "I tried fresh blood, but it didn't work."
"Have you tried it?" Xiao also couldn't understand, "Have you ever slaughtered a sheep or a chicken with your own hands? Or maybe you, the master of Yue Heifeng, have gone to kill thieves?"
Jiang Zhi looked helpless. When he looked at Xiao Ye, his eyes clearly showed concern for his intelligence.
"In that restaurant you often eat at, the boss slaughters sheep every day. You are so picky that you can't eat them all but slaughter them freshly?"
Xiao Ye was so upset that he was so angry that he regained his composure and said, "Animal blood will definitely not work. The two times I used animal blood were not animal blood, so how do you do it?"
Jiang Zhiyi frowned, as if he didn't understand Xiao Ye's struggle with this kind of thing, "Is this a difficult thing?"
Sheng Tang reacted quickly and his eyes fell on his fingers.
His fingers were almost healed these days. They were wrapped in gauze before, but now all the gauze on them except the middle finger had been removed. She thought the middle finger was the focus of the injury...
She subconsciously held his wrist and said, "Don't go crazy."
Others understood immediately.
Jiang Zhi laughed dumbly and held her hand instead, "Then you have to have the conditions to be able to go crazy. My blood is not suitable."
Sheng Tang breathed a sigh of relief.
It wasn't just her, the others were actually secretly relieved. Xiao also held his face in his hands and said in a lazier tone, "Hey, hey, let go, let go, there is a single guy sitting opposite you, what are you talking about?"
He sat across from Jiang Zhi.
Jiang Zhi didn't let go. Instead, he stared at him and smiled, "Hey singles."
Sheng Tang was quite nervous at first and couldn't help but laugh out loud due to such a fuss. Xiao Ye waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, let's get down to business." He put his arms on the table and said, "We'll try the rest later.
Maybe it’s just a blind cat that kills a mouse.”
Jiang Zhi is not opposed to continuing the test, "But in fact, even if a match is found, it won't be of much use given the current status of parasites."
Going around and around, I can't avoid the fate of finding a new parasite as one of the pigment raw materials.
At this point, he added, "Moreover, the rate of decline of parasites seems to be faster than predicted, and the time for murals to suffer from disease will be greatly shortened."
This is shocking.
Shen Yao sighed and was anxious, "We can't let such a complete "Protoss" picture disappear, and I always feel that the content on the mural must be related to parasites."
As for the murals in the East Grotto, they can be regarded as story paintings. So what story should be expressed? This aspect of the work fell on Shen Yao.
Seeing this, Jiang Zhi asked her if she had solved the mystery of the mural content.
Shen Yao is really an expert in literature and customs, and she did not disappoint everyone. She nodded and said, "It comes from the Classic of Mountains and Seas, but it explains some mysteries in the Classic of Mountains and Seas."
Everyone became more energetic upon hearing this and urged her to speak quickly.
Shen Yao took a sip of water. There were green shadows under her eyes. It looked like she hadn't had much rest. It was related to the pursuit of the content of the mural, and she had been studying day and night.
"There are murals on the east wall about wars. One of them I think you are all familiar with is the famous Battle of the Deer. It was the largest war involving power wars between humans, gods, witches and corpses. It involved more than a dozen people.
The ancient decisive battle between the clans ended with Chi You being killed."
She paused and said, "Although it only uses the area of one painting, it describes in great detail the process from the Yellow Emperor's murder of the Poseidon Li Jing of the East China Sea before the war to the death of Chi You, when Xing Tian fought alone and was finally beheaded.
The painting style is very vivid and realistic, especially the use of pigments, which to a great extent restores the description of war scenes in "The Classic of Mountains and Seas"."
"The war scenes on the gable wall are basically divided into four units. The deer chasing is picture three, and the fourth picture is the battle of Emperor Ku's attack on Gonggong, which is also lifelike. It is worth paying attention to pictures one and two because they describe
