"Sir, I have something I don't know whether to say or not..."

Looking at the scene in front of him, Yu Ji finally wrinkled his old face and said thoughtfully.

"But it doesn't matter."

Wu Liang looked at him and said.

"Then let me speak frankly. Master, please don't blame me for saying these things that affect morale."

A heavy look of worry appeared in Yu Ji's eyes, and he lowered his voice slightly and said, "When the old man saw the bronze strip drilled out of the rock, especially when he saw the bronze strip passing through the chest of the corpse,

I unconsciously thought of the 'Yunyang' we saw together in Le'an Country a few days ago, and I always felt that there were some similarities between the two."

Yunyang...

It was the strange tree that could disturb people's minds that Wu Liang and others encountered when they were excavating Qi'ai Cemetery.

At that time, Yang Wanli almost made "Yun Yang" fertilizer. Not long after Wu Liang and others entered Qi'ai Cemetery, they were also affected by "Yun Yang" and had nightmare-like hallucinations.

However, Yang Wanli turned out to be a blessing in disguise as he mastered a rather powerful "Bone Shrinking Technique", although until now his "Bone Shrinking Technique" has not been used properly.

"Are you saying that this bronze bar may not be the dead thing we know?"

Wu Liang's brows suddenly turned into knots.

"Exactly, as far as I know, the Pre-Qin Dynasty's "Shan Hai Jing" records many mysterious and mysterious things, many of which are beyond the knowledge of the world. Among them, there are many dead objects with spiritual energy, which teach people

It’s impossible to guard against it.”

Yu Ji said seriously.

"Um……"

Wu Liang nodded slightly, but he was thoughtful in his heart.

He naturally knows the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" and can tell most of the wonderful things in it. Indeed, as Yu Ji said, "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" does record some dead things with spiritual energy.

But at the same time, Wu Liang can also be sure that there is absolutely nothing in the "Book of Mountains and Seas" that is similar to the bronze bar in front of him...

Although not, Yu Ji's words were not useless. At least they opened up a new idea for Wu Liang.

Nothing is absolute, what if?

After all, there are countless strange books like "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" in the history of the Celestial Dynasty, and Wu Liang is certain that such ancient books discovered by archeology in later generations are just the tip of the iceberg that survived the five thousand years of civilization in the Celestial Dynasty.

, there will only be more ancient books destroyed or lost for various reasons.

This is true for ancient books, and the same is true for those mysterious and mysterious things.

in addition.

Wu Liang also thought of a Japanese horror comic he had read in his previous life.

The horror cartoon describes a "living village". The underground of the village is covered with thick blood vessels, and the villagers in the village have a symbiotic relationship with the village.

Every once in a while, blood will seep out from the pores on the villagers' bodies to irrigate the village's land, and the water from the village's wells can replenish the seeped blood for the villagers, thus forming a closed loop of balanced supply and demand.

, lived in peace for hundreds of years.

The events described in this horror comic are naturally made up.

But it can also provide Wu Liang with an idea.

From ancient times to the present, there has always been a saying in China called "all things have animism".

If you think about it carefully, this statement obviously contradicts people's habit of dividing everything in the world into "living things" and "dead things"...

So is it possible that this mountain tomb is "alive"?

And these bronze strips are actually the "blood vessels" or "roots" in the body of this mountain tomb?

"..."

Wu Liang shook his head.

This idea was so bizarre that Wu Liang himself found it a bit ridiculous. He felt that he might have been influenced by Yu Ji or the Japanese comic to have such an idea.

However, he did not completely rule out this idea.

Now he is looking for and deciphering things that are unknown to the world. In addition, he has experienced so many mysterious things after time travel, so that his ability to accept unknown things has improved a lot.

As a self-disciplined scientific researcher, he will not easily abandon any speculation before there is definite evidence, and at most he will have reservations.

"Young master sometimes nods and sometimes shakes his head. What is the purpose?"

Seeing Wu Liang's strange body movements, Yu Ji couldn't help but ask.

"It's nothing, I'm just thinking. Unfortunately, I didn't think of anything useful."

Wu Liang shook his head and smiled, and said, "But what the old gentleman said is not completely unreasonable. Everyone should be more careful next time and never take it lightly."

As he spoke, Wu Liang turned around and came to the coffin that was unloaded by Dian Wei and Yang Wanli. He lowered his body and took a closer look at the mummy inside.

The focus is on the tail vertebrae of the mummy, which is an important basis for confirming Wu Liang’s previous speculation.

After turning the mummy over so carefully.

Wu Liang suddenly discovered that the end of the tail vertebrae of this mummy was indeed somewhat strange to ordinary humans.

Its tail vertebrae is indeed slightly longer, about ten centimeters longer than that of ordinary humans. If it is restored through brainstorming, it can indeed be judged as a short tail that has not completely degenerated.

"Are they really the legendary Gogi?!"

Wu Liang suddenly became excited.

No human race with such special physical features has been found in the ancient books of the Celestial Dynasty or in the archaeological research of various remains and fossils. Therefore, later archaeological circles have always doubted the authenticity of the Goji people who appeared in "The Great War between Qiang and Ge".

Some experts even speculate that the Goji people do not exist at all, or that the Goji people are actually an ordinary human race. Just because "The Great War between Qiang and Ge" is an epic poem circulated among the Qiang people, the Qiang people were compiling this epic.

At that time, some national sentimental factors were inevitably mixed in, so the enemy was vilified to a certain extent, and this strange-looking Goki race appeared.

But now I see this body.

Especially when seeing the tail vertebrae, which is obviously longer than that of ordinary humans, combined with the unique features of the facial features and body shape, various signs indicate that the person buried in this mountain tomb is most likely the legendary Goji.

people.

It's just that for some reason, this mountain mausoleum and these caves have not been discovered by later generations.

In fact, Wu Liang was not sure whether this mountain tomb would still exist in later generations.

Because he had never been to Gansu in his previous life, let alone Jiuquan Guazhou, there was really no way to determine what this place would become in later generations.

besides.

After confirming that the people buried here were the legendary Goji people, another question arose in Wu Liang's mind.

Although the Gogi are a little shorter.

But after seeing the bronze weapons in the pits outside, which weighed several dozen kilograms, Wu Liang already had a relatively clear understanding of their combat effectiveness, so he was a little unclear.

The Gogi people were so powerful and possessed bronze casting technology that may have been ahead of the Central Plains. Why did they end up extinct?

As far as Wu Liang knew, although the fighting power of the ancient Qiang people was not weak, it was absolutely impossible to be stronger than such Goji people.

Even among the races that can be traced in the history of the Celestial Dynasty, none are more powerful than the Gogi people... Of course, except for the extremely talented aliens like Dian Wei, he is a very rare minority on a phenomenal level, and he will definitely not be able to compete with all the people.

The Gorges of Lux are on par with each other.

So, how did the Gogi disappear?

Wu Liang would certainly not easily believe the story in "The War between Qiang and Ge", which attributed the extinction of the Goji people to the intervention of the gods believed by the Qiang people.

Wu Liang cannot be convinced by this argument.

…

After checking the situation here, Wu Liang confirmed some things, but in the end he had more questions in his mind.

With these questions, Wu Liang did not damage the bronze bar easily.

After carefully inspecting the mummy and the coffin it was in, and finding no other noteworthy places or burial objects, Wu Liang chose to lead the group to go deeper.

And the further you go deeper into the cave.

The more bronze bars Wu Liang and others encountered that were drilled out of coffins. Of course, more and more bronze bars were drilled out of the rock wall, and they were of different lengths and not completely consistent in thickness.

The more this is the case, the more people tend to lean towards Ji's previous statement.

These bronze bars really don't look like something made by man, but more like products that appear in a state of free growth, which makes people suspicious.

These bronze bars are naturally intact and golden in color.

Wu Liangliang also became more and more suspicious.

He gradually thought of certain things on the human body - nails, hair, teeth.

Although these things are things that grow on the human body, they are also defined as "dead things" in a broad sense, because when people's nails, hair and teeth are trimmed, they usually do not feel it as long as the skin is not hurt.

No pain at all.

But one fact is indisputable.

When such "dead things" grow on the human body, they are "alive", and as long as the person is still alive, they will not "die". The nails will be very tough, the hair will be shiny and silky, and the teeth will be smooth.
