Chapter 469: The Secret of the Skull Stone
I don't know why, but listening to my cousin's narration, I vaguely felt that these records about Xuan Heng might be very crucial to the final solution of those mysteries.
The cousin took a sip of water and continued speaking in an unhurried voice: "Since Xuan Heng's grandfather, their family has been a single generation of three generations. Therefore, although Xuan Heng's father decided to let Xuan Heng take the imperial examination path,
But he still wanted to pass on this ancestral secret to Xuan Heng. So one day when Xuan Heng was fourteen years old, his father took him to a stone pit deep in the mountains and told him that the stone pit was theirs.
The family's cornucopia, because so many unique and strange birds were cultivated from that stone pit, Xuan Heng was surprised.
When his father told Xuanheng more secrets about the stone pit, Xuanheng was completely shocked. He never dreamed that there were so many shocking secrets hidden in this stone pit, and these secrets were absolutely beyond anything.
human imagination.
As Xuan Heng grew up, he often came to the stone pit alone to explore more secrets. Unlike his father, Xuan Heng was not only literate, but also well-read, so he was very interested in the stone pit.
His understanding of the pit far exceeds that of his father, grandfather, and even his great-great-grandfather.
Xuan Heng heard from his father that their family discovered this stone pit during the time of his great-great-grandfather.
At that time, his great-great-grandfather was no different from ordinary bird keepers, except that his great-great-grandfather was more hard-working, and he was also a very scheming and intelligent man. When he went to the mountains to catch birds or study the habits of birds,
There are always days and nights, and it lasts ten days and a half after entering the mountains. Very few bird keepers can endure this kind of hardship. It is this extraordinary spirit of enduring hardship that gives him the opportunity to discover, a
An unusual secret, and this secret changed the fate of his family for generations.
By chance, Xuan Heng's great-great-grandfather discovered several very strange birds. The appearance and size of these birds were very special and did not belong to any known bird species.
So, he spent a whole month and finally discovered that the nests of these strange birds were all in the same stone pit. What was even stranger was that the nests of these birds were completely different from ordinary bird nests - they were
There are some small holes in the stone pit, and these small holes come and go, which is mysterious and unpredictable.
What shocked Xuan Heng's great-great-grandfather even more was that the birds in these stone pits not only looked very strange, but some of them were as smart as humans. He observed with his own eyes how these birds used ingenious methods to evade all kinds of predators.
Regarding bird nets and bird traps, he felt that even humans might not be able to figure out the methods used by these birds.
After one or two years of painstaking observation and repeated exploration, Xuan Heng's great-great-grandfather not only mastered the living habits of these strange birds, but also learned more secrets about the stone pit. Not only that, he also came up with various wonderful ideas.
They used the stone pit to capture and breed many strange birds, and these strange birds were sold at very high prices, and the supply exceeded demand, making their family prosper quickly.
As a result, this stone pit became a cash cow for their family and a secret passed down from generation to generation. Except for his own son, Xuan Heng's great-great-grandfather never told anyone about this secret, including his own.
Wife, it is precisely because of this secret that their family has been able to live a prosperous life with no worries about food and clothing for several generations, which was very rare at that time.
When Xuanheng grew up, he did more in-depth research on this stone pit. Especially after he failed in the examination, studying this stone pit became his biggest spiritual support. Xuanheng not only frequently visited the site, but also read through
I read all the local chronicles that could be found at the time, and gained a new understanding of the origins of this stone pit."
My cousin added that these records about Xuan Heng are simply too important for us. Based on all aspects of information, we can see that the crater mentioned in the records is probably this crater, and this
In addition to being able to breed many strange birds, the meteorite crater also has many shocking secrets, and Xuan Heng should know all of these secrets very well. Was it after understanding these secrets that Xuan Heng regarded this crater as Zhu Leting's final destination?
Where is the place of escape?
Judging from various signs, this kind of crater may have some incredible functions, and it is precisely these functions that cause so many weird phenomena to appear in the crater.
"By the way, when you said that, I also remembered a strange thing." Mr. Chen next to him said, "I heard an engineer from the Institute of Geology say that when they first used a drill to drill out the meteorite sample below,
, they found that there were stains of blood on the drill bit, which meant that the drill bit had drilled into living creatures. But what puzzled them was that the crater was entirely made of stone. How could there be animals underneath?
Because the ground of this crater is really too hard, there is no other way to explore the situation below the crater except drilling holes. Therefore, there is nothing we can do about the blood on the drill bit.
Of."
What Mr. Chen said can further prove that there are indeed living creatures under the crater. In fact, we have seen with our own eyes that there are living creatures in the crater. The Drill Goliath is the one that can use its own
Saliva is very convenient for drilling holes in the ground as hard as steel.
But what we want to know most is, besides the diamond beetle we have already seen, are there other animals below the crater?
Or, a more bold idea is - are Zhu Leting and Xuan Heng really still living in it? If this is the case, that is what shocks us the most.
"Based on the historical materials mentioned by Researcher Wang, have you ever thought that this kind of 'monkey eagle' may not have originated in ancient Egypt, but in this crater, and then slowly spread to Egypt, maybe with the
Due to climate change in our area, the number of these 'monkey eagles' has gradually become very rare, just like giant pandas - at a certain period in history, the number of giant pandas was large, but as the climate changes, the number of giant pandas has gradually become very rare.
Due to a series of environmental changes, the number of giant pandas became less and less, and finally they were almost extinct.
Moreover, I also thought that since so many strange birds can be produced in this crater, then whether the huge energy released when this meteorite landed produced something similar to nuclear radiation, causing many surrounding birds and
Other creatures have mutated, resulting in so many strange birds, and other strange creatures, such as the red pangolin. Not only that, as we have speculated before, it was this meteorite that disturbed the entire mountain.
The 'meridians' have caused various strange phenomena to appear in the mountain. In short, all the strange phenomena and creatures in the mountain are affected by this meteorite, especially the closer to it, the greater the impact will be."
Based on the historical data mentioned by my cousin, Crazy Six came to these conclusions, and his speculations have deepened our understanding of this crater a lot.
Everyone couldn't help but look at the two 'monkey eagles' again. Maybe it was just like Crazy Six speculated. Before the meteorite fell, there were no such birds in the world as 'monkey eagles'. After the meteorite fell, a certain
The genes of these animals mutated, forming the species 'Monkey Eagle', and this species later slowly spread to Africa and Egypt.
If that's the case, that would be amazing.
"If meteorites can really cause biological mutation, we can explain that kind of giant eagle - that kind of giant eagle is also caused by this kind of genetic mutation. It turns out that they may be just an ordinary eagle. After mutation, they formed
That giant hawk."
Kenya said excitedly.
At this time, the female translator on the side was whispering something in Japanese with the two female assistants. She might be translating what we were talking about to them. We often see this kind of scene - when we are talking about something.
At that time, because the two Japanese female assistants could not understand Chinese, the female translator often explained to them in Japanese.
However, this time seems to be different from the past - I have to admit that Japanese people still pay great attention to etiquette. When they talk about things in Japanese, their voices are usually very low, but this time for some reason, their voices are getting louder and louder.
Although we don't know what they are talking about, we can tell that the female translator seems to be very excited.
In the end, we stopped talking and just listened to the three of them chattering in Japanese. After several minutes, they stopped. Then the female translator said to us in Chinese: "See inside that stone, the skeleton."
Why do people temporarily lose their memory due to head-shaped particles? I have basically figured out the reason for this now."
This was so unexpected that everyone could hardly believe their ears - that kind of phenomenon was so mysterious and unbelievable. We racked our brains, but we had no clue as to how the female translator could suddenly decipher it so easily.
Where is it?
For a moment, everyone didn't know what to say and just waited quietly for the female translator to explain.
But the female translator did not get to the point directly, but first introduced the female assistants: "It has been so long, and I may not have said anything in detail about my two female assistants. They both have doctorates in biomedicine.
, and has a background of studying in the United States and Germany.”
This makes us feel very baffled. Although we do not know the background of these two female assistants in detail, they have biomedical degrees. What is so special about them? They originally worked in biomedical companies, and they have such
Such related degrees are perfectly normal. Is there any need to introduce them in particular?
When everyone was confused, the female translator continued: "The reason why I emphasize their background is to let everyone know that some of their views are very professional and valuable to us.
When I mentioned the 'skull stone' just now, I didn't expect that one of them not only knew about this stone, but had also seen it before and studied it. What's even more rare is that she knew
Why can that stone cause people to temporarily lose their memory?"
The words of the female translator immediately made everyone excited. This is really like "you can't find anything even if you break through iron shoes, and it takes no effort to find it." Normally, because of the language barrier, we don't know much about these two female assistants.
I didn’t know much about it, but I didn’t expect it would help us a lot today.
Crazy Six whispered in my ear: "Have you seen how terrible the Japanese spy work is? Two inconspicuous young women are both hidden professionals, so whenever I say something, look
I felt particularly bad when I saw them recording in notebooks. I don’t know how much of our valuable information has been stolen by them. I must pay special attention when I’m with them in the future.”
He seemed to be telling me, but also reminding himself.
However, what everyone is most concerned about now is the weird skull stone. Why do people lose their memory when they see the skull particles inside with a magnifying glass? This is very much like a kind of witchcraft, but what we want to know most is
