Long Yi glanced at me and said: "This is a corpse detector. It is mainly used to detect the oxygen content and carbon dioxide content of the corpse. Generally speaking, after a person dies, because the blood stops supplying oxygen, the oxygen content in the body will decrease, and
The carbon dioxide content will rise. This detector can estimate the accurate time of death of the deceased by measuring the oxygen and carbon dioxide in the deceased's body."
"Then what was detected just now?" I asked.
Long Yi replied: "The instrument just showed that although the oxygen content in his body is far lower than that of normal people, the concentration of carbon dioxide has not increased accordingly. On the contrary, it has been much lower than that of normal people."
"How often does this happen?"
"If the corpse is in an oxygen-deprived environment, the concentration of carbon dioxide will rise more slowly, but compared to the concentration of carbon dioxide in the normal human body, it is still so much lower. I have never encountered it before. I guess there is something wrong with the instrument.
Alright."
As soon as Long Yi finished speaking, Ouyang Yi said: "I'm afraid there is something wrong with the instrument."
"What's the reason for that?" Long Yi asked puzzledly.
Ouyang Yi handed the instrument back to Long Yi, stared at the corpse on the ground, took a deep breath, and said slowly: "I'm afraid this corpse is undergoing a transformation!"
"What!?" Everyone was shocked and stepped back.
However, after waiting for a while, there was no movement from the corpse. Long Yi asked Ouyang Yi in a low voice: "Dr. Ouyang, why do you think the abnormal carbon dioxide concentration in this corpse is caused by the transformation of the body?"
Ouyang Yi replied: "You may not know that when developing weapons specifically to deal with corpse transformation, scientific researchers once discovered that after corpse transformation, it seems that the carbon dioxide in the body will be consumed, which makes the carbon dioxide concentration in the body lower than
Therefore, some scientific researchers believe that carbon dioxide is probably a kind of energy for zombies, but this view has not been adopted because there is no further evidence to support it.”
After listening to Ouyang Yi's words, Long Yi said thoughtfully: "From the perspective of yin-yang metaphysics, oxygen is yang and carbon dioxide is yin. The behavior of corpse transformation will indeed be more severe in an environment with a higher concentration of carbon dioxide.
Active. But I didn’t expect that after the corpse transformation, the carbon dioxide content in the body would actually become lower."
As we were talking, the corpse lying on the ground suddenly raised its hand slightly. Wen Qingshan happened to see it and said to everyone: "It seems that this thing has sensed the yang energy emitted by us and is about to wake up.
Everyone should be careful."
Upon hearing this, Chen Biao immediately pointed the muzzle of his mercury gun at the corpse.
When Long Yi saw this, he said disapprovingly: "Captain Chen, don't be nervous. This corpse has just undergone a transformation. At most, it has turned into a walking corpse. It is easy to deal with..."
Unexpectedly, before Long Yi finished speaking, the corpse suddenly raised its upper body, quickly stretched out its hand, and swept towards his thigh. Fortunately, Long Yi reacted quickly enough and dodged in time, so he was not hit by it.
, seeing the corpse about to get up, Chen Biao immediately pulled the trigger.
The mercury bullet left a bullet hole in the middle of the corpse's forehead. The corpse immediately fell to the ground again and struggled violently.
This mercury bullet was specially developed to deal with the zombies, even the zombies, let alone the walking corpses that had just undergone the transformation. The corpses soon stopped moving.
Long Yi kicked the corpse and said with lingering fear: "How could the walking corpse be so fast? I almost capsized in the ditch!"
Ouyang Yi frowned and said: "This corpse should have died after being sucked dry by the Drought Demon. That's why it transformed into a corpse in such a short period of time, and it also has a faster speed than ordinary walking corpses."
.”
As soon as they heard Han Ba, everyone immediately became nervous and looked around quickly, but no trace of Han Ba was found. After a while, the other two corpses also reacted. Chen Biao said nothing and looked at him.
Two corpses were shot once in the head.
After dealing with the walking corpses, everyone waited quietly for a while. Seeing that the Han Demon still did not appear, Ouyang Yi ordered: "Captain Chen and Brother Weizi are responsible for keeping watch. The others will look to see if the evil stone is still there."
After receiving the order, everyone immediately split up. Wen Qingshan focused on the backpacks carried by several corpses. These guys were carrying extremely large backpacks, and each backpack was bulging.
It seems to be full of stuff.
Out of curiosity, he walked to a corpse, knelt down, and opened the backpack he was carrying. He was surprised to find that the backpack was filled with golden gold ingots.
Wen Qingshan hurriedly opened the other two backpacks, which were also filled with gold ingots. He picked up a gold ingot and looked at it carefully. He saw that the bottom of the gold ingot was engraved with the words "Qianlong Official Silver".
I reached out and grabbed the backpack and weighed it. It was really not that heavy. It weighed at least seventy or eighty kilograms. If the three backpacks contained gold ingots, then together they would weigh nearly two hundred kilograms. Even if
According to the current price of gold, it is worth tens of millions. What's more, these gold ingots are exquisitely crafted and well-preserved, so they should also have high cultural relic value.
Wen Qingshan stared at the gold ingots in his hand, frowned and said, "Where did these guys get so many gold ingots?"
"They should have been found in here!" I said as I looked around and found several broken jars in the corners of the tomb chamber.
Wen Qingshan also noticed those jars. He walked over and picked up a broken piece of porcelain, observed it carefully, turned to me and said: "You are right, the gold ingot was indeed found here, and
It should have been put in these jars originally! Because these fragments are still stained with gold powder."
I also picked up a broken piece of porcelain and took a closer look. As Wen Qingshan said, I found some fine golden powder on the inner wall of the broken piece of porcelain.
Wen Qingshan stared at the broken jar fragments on the ground and muttered in confusion: "It's really weird, how come there are so many jars of gold ingots here?"
"What's so strange about this? There aren't any grave goods in any tomb, let alone such a big tomb." I said disapprovingly.
Wen Qingshan said: "The function of this mausoleum is different from that of ordinary tombs. It is mainly used to store evil stones, not to bury people. Therefore, although it is called a tomb, it is actually more like a machine array. In addition to the many mechanisms
, there is no need for any burial objects, and there is really no need to place several jars of gold ingots."
Hearing what he said, I thought it was right. Just when I was confused, Ouyang Yi came over and said, "In my opinion, these jars of gold ingots should be used to deceive people, making people mistakenly think that this is just a mausoleum.
I would never have imagined that this tomb is actually related to an evil stone."
Wen Qingshan nodded: "It makes sense! If that's the case, there should be a coffin in this tomb that is hidden from others!"
Coffin!? I immediately looked around and didn’t see any coffins. In fact, there weren’t many things placed in the entire tomb. Apart from these broken jars, the most conspicuous thing was that there was a protruding hole in the center of the tomb.
It is a cylindrical stone platform approximately 70 to 80 centimeters in diameter and two meters in diameter.
Because the entire tomb was built according to the Tai Chi pattern, and the cylindrical stone platform was located exactly at the Tai Chi Eye, so at first everyone thought that maybe the cylindrical stone platform was just a symbol of the Tai Chi Eye, and did not take it seriously.
. But now Wen Qingshan focused his attention on this stone platform.
He stared at the stone platform for a while, then turned to Ouyang Yi and asked: "Senior Ouyang, have you ever seen a round coffin?"
Ouyang Yi was slightly startled: "A round coffin? What's the point?"
Wen Qingshan said: "As the saying goes, the sky is round and the place is round. Most coffins are square in order to be grounded, but there is a kind of coffin that is round. This kind of coffin is also called the Sky-Bearing Coffin." Speaking of this, Wen Qingshan said
Then he looked at the stone platform not far away.
Ouyang Yi immediately understood what Wen Qingshan meant: "Did Mr. Wen mean that this stone platform is a coffin that reaches the sky?"
Wen Qingshan nodded and said, "We can't rule out this possibility! We'll know if it's true or not. We'll know if we go over and have a look!" After saying that, he slowly walked towards the stone platform, and Ouyang Yi and I hurriedly followed.
The three of us walked to the stone platform. I took a look at the stone platform and found that it was actually carved with a dragon and phoenix in auspicious patterns. The pattern was very exquisite and lifelike. Even a layman like me could tell that it was definitely not true.
Made by ordinary craftsmen.
Wen Qingshan frowned and said: "This pattern is so exquisite, it must have been made by the royal craftsmen. Moreover, the dragon on the pattern has five claws and the phoenix has nine feathers, which are symbols of the emperor."
"The symbol of the emperor!? Mr. Wen, you just said that this stone platform might be a coffin that reaches the sky, and now you say that the patterns carved on it symbolize the emperor. Is it possible that an emperor is buried here?" Ouyang Yi was shocked.
road.
Wen Qingshan nodded: "It's possible!"
"Could it be Qianlong?" Because this mausoleum was built during the Qianlong period, I naturally thought of Qianlong first.
Wen Qingshan waved his hand: "It's not like Qianlong, there should be someone else!"
"But who else could it be besides Qianlong?" I was a little puzzled.
Wen Qingshan said: "It does not mean that the five-clawed dragon and the nine-feathered phoenix must be the emperor, but they may also be people with rebellious intentions! During the Qing Dynasty, many Han people in the south used the slogan of anti-Qing and restoration of the Ming Dynasty to compete with the imperial court, and many of them claimed to be
Many of the direct relatives of the royal family failed to achieve great achievements as emperors during their lifetimes. After their death, they ordered themselves to be buried according to imperial standards, which was considered as fulfilling their wish."
"Didn't you say that this evil stone tomb was built under Emperor Qianlong's secret order? Why would he allow people with treasonous intentions to be buried here, and the coffin is also carved with five-clawed dragons and nine-feathered phoenixes?"
