Chapter 181 Parallel ribs
I lowered my voice and said to Chen Yun, "Don't talk about it first, so as not to hear it for him. Even if Uncle Liu has any problems, there is no need to be afraid. There are so many people here, and we need guns and people, and we are afraid that Uncle Liu will make any waves?"
Chen Yun wanted to say something, but we were approaching the coffin. She opened her mouth and had to shut up and stop talking. Instead, she studied the coffin seriously.
Near the edge of the coffin, Ge Zhuang said lightly, "Little pumpkin, something is wrong. The structure inside the coffin seems to have changed." I could see it without Ge Zhuang reminding me. When we carefully pulled out the iron box before, the mummy was still lying flat, but now it has become a side sleeper, and all of our limbs were curled up, putting them in a spherical position, and our heads left the iron box.
Ge Zhuang's eyes flashed and he whispered, "No, Bo Liu said, the location of the corpse cannot be moved greatly, otherwise it is possible to cause the mechanism? Why is the mechanism inside the coffin not touched?"
I also wondered that the cautious appearance that Liu Bo showed when he opened the coffin before did not look like a disguise, which means that there must be mechanisms in the coffin. However, just now, the mummy shaking like a storm, but there was no other danger.
I don't know whether it was Liu Bo's exaggeration, deliberately speaking out to scare us, or whether there are real mechanisms in the coffin that could be triggered at any time.
It is necessary to be careful when I go out. I stopped Ge Zhuang from making a rash progress. I took off my gloves and replaced them with a brand new pair to ensure that my fingers would not directly touch the mummy, so I carefully approached it.
Logically speaking, dead corpses have heavy yin energy, and once they collide with the yang energy of living people forever, there is a danger of zombies cheating, especially the mummy has absorbed part of Liu Bo's blood before. The human yang energy is basically concentrated in the blood, which is why zombies bite people and turn their bites the aortic arteries.
But seeing the movement of the mummy, it didn't look like it was going to be a zombie. I was very surprised. Out of caution, I still did enough preparations for contacting my body. Then I stretched out my hand tremblingly to touch the mummy's abdomen.
The most troubling thing before was the mummy's belly. It was obviously swelling so big, but when we got closer again, we found that its belly had shriveled again and collapsed even more violently. Could it be that as Ge Zhuang said, the mummy was shaking so hard, just to make a fart?
But I didn't hear the fart!
Through a layer of snakeskin gloves, my fingers first touched the ribs of the mummy. My fingers bent slightly downwards and knocked on the mummy's wrinkled bones. Through two layers of leather hoods, I like to have a very hard touch. I thought something was wrong. After death, the calcium and phosphorus powder in the bones will gradually lose and weather. There is no reason why the bones will still be so tough after a thousand years.
Seeing that I put my hand on the ribs of the mummy and knocked it, Ge Zhuang didn't respond for a long time, but fell into silence for a long time, he asked in a low voice, "Little Pumpkin, what problem did you find?" I let go of my hand and preached to Ge Zhuang, "Why do you want to try it?"
Ge Zhuang looked suspicious, but he still put on gloves and did as he did. He put his hand on the ribs of the mummy, slid his fingers back and forth a few times, suddenly looked up at me, gasped and said, "Little Pumpkin, this guy must have had surgery before his death."
I asked him why? Ge Zhuang then retracted his hands and gestured, saying that its ribs were not forked, but were stacked, one very closely connected, connected into one piece, and there was no gap, and it felt like a hardwood board.
"This is 'parallel ribs'!" Combined with Ge Zhuang's description, Chen Yun immediately said, "parallel ribs are people's ribs that are not separated, but are stacked into a whole. Just as Fatty, you just said, the whole bone is connected together. At this time, a physiological defect was arisen, but the ancients regarded it as the appearance of a saint."
Ge Zhuang smacked his thick lips and said, "What is the appearance of a saint?" Is it true that every saint has such ribs?"
Chen Yun said of course not. There were many people who grew parallel ribs in history, and there were many more famous people. The most famous one was Duke Wen of Jin, Chong'er, who not only had parallel ribs, but also had double pupils like the King of Western Chu. Another one was Li Yuanba. According to legend, he also had parallel ribs and was born with extraordinary courage. Therefore, the ancients regarded parallel ribs as a symbol of the birth of a saint.
I interrupted and said, "Duke Wen of Jin is wise and wise, while Li Yuanba is born with extraordinary courage. These two people, both literary and military, are indeed gifted people, but there is Duke Wen of Jin in history, but it seems that Li Yuanba is not the same person." Chen Yun retorted, "In fact, although the Romance of Sui and Tang Dynasties is a novel, many historical figures are taken from real history. The prototype of Li Yuanba is also the third son of the Li family. His real name is Li Xuanba. He is said to be a sick man and died only after living in his teens."
I smiled and said, "A sick man who died after living in his teens is extremely strong since he was a child and cannot make achievements. What kind of saint is he considered?" Chen Yun said that this was just the conjecture of the ancients. I did not say that the one who had ribs must be a saint, but this mummy actually had ribs, which is very strange.
I analyzed, "No wonder, maybe the saying "the appearance of a saint" has existed as early as ancient times. Perhaps it was caused by genetic mutations. It is also possible that the ancient Homo sapiens might have mythized him because of this." Chen Yun said, "regardless of whether it is the appearance of a saint or not, this phenomenon is extremely rare. I feel that the origin of this mummy may not be that simple."
I said, how can I tell you? You wouldn't think he is an alien, right?
Chen Yun looked back at me and said, "Do you think there will be aliens in this world?" I opened my mouth and shook my head and said I don't know."
The universe we are in is really vast. The earth, the moon and the sun are the three major planets that humans know best, and they are also giants in the cognitive category of human beings. However, this is nothing in the vast universe. Doesn’t Buddhism talk about sand and world? We are sand, the earth is the world. The earth is sand, and the Milky Way is the world. Of course, compared with the Milky Way, it is just a speck of dust. How many unknowns are hidden in the vast universe? This is a world that cannot be imagined by the human brain alone.
"Since you don't deny it, at least it means that there is a certain probability of aliens appearing in this world, right?" Chen Yun said again.
This time I had nothing to say, Ge Zhuang pulled out a handful and said, "What is the use of a bird for empty talk about theory? It is better to cut it down with one knife and distinguish the authenticity. If it is really the remains of an alien, the details of the physiological structure must be different from ours. Maybe even if the breasts grow in the belly, it is impossible to tell whether they are accurate!"
I was amused by this guy and said, be careful, maybe the body also carries bacteria and viruses from outer space.
