Fang Zheng speculates that this is either a species called a rat in the "Shan Hai Jing", with six legs underneath, which is regarded as a symbol of drought by people; the other possibility is a monster called "狪狪".It looks like a chicken or a cat, has pig ears, and can make a loud cry. It is said that there is a precious pearl hidden in its stomach.

Fang Zheng asked Lian Feng: "This little thing? Do you recognize it?"

Lian Feng said solemnly: "That's a scorpion, a snake eater, very powerful."

Fang Zheng thought that in later generations there would also be a small animal that could eat snakes, called a badger.Although the badger is small in size, it is an out-and-out murderous killer. It can fight snakes much larger than it, and it will not be poisoned.

Perhaps "狪" is a kind of ancient badger.But how could it have six legs.And Fang Zheng was surprised to find that sparks were emitting from its sides, and its hair stood straight.He couldn't figure it out.

Suddenly, a whitish thing flew down from nowhere and landed on all fours, like a huge white orangutan, and rushed towards the little monkey. Fang Zheng saw clearly with his naked eyes that the white orangutan caught the little monkey. In an instant, a small purple snake protruded from the tip of the little scorpion's claws, and then it "snaked" into a giant purple whip lightning, which instantly scorched the giant white gorilla hundreds of times larger than its body.There was a sizzling burnt smell in the air.

Fang Zheng was dumbfounded. If he did not admit his mistake, then the "Purple Snake" is an electric spark generated by a natural magnetic field. There is often static electricity on the human body, but it is usually very slight.The body of this little cat can actually release a terrifyingly strong bioelectricity.Bioelectrical death has many precedents in nature, and electric eels in the water use it to catch fish.But the power of the "Purple Snake" that Fang Zheng saw just now is comparable to a powerful electric shock baton.

Fang Zheng and the others are still tens of meters away from Xiaoyu. Fang Zheng noticed that this small creature is particularly explosive, and can leap a meter away at once. If it suddenly gets into trouble, a safe distance must be kept.

The dog didn't continue to attack Fang Zheng and the others with bioelectricity, but returned to the magnetite area just now, curled up on the stone with its big tail.Fang Zheng observed thoughtfully, and found that the area where the scorpion was located was the area with the most abundant natural magnetite.

Fang Zheng thought of the rumbling sound coming from the ground, and couldn't help guessing that the magnet is sometimes unstable during geological processes, causing eruptions such as volcanoes and earthquakes.Could it be that the location of this magnetic mining area occasionally affects the changes of the mountain, the rocks collapse and the rock plate cracks, and the sound is particularly loud in the closed crypt. The front is wide and the back is narrow, which is a natural trumpet mouth.

Fang Zheng was stunned, he had not found a way for Xie to enter the valley.Now I was suddenly enlightened that the valley was also near the volcanic and earthquake zone. Could it be that there was also a huge magnetic field interference near the valley?Just opened a crack to let the animal come in, and then changed back violently?This speed cannot be achieved in ordinary geological cycles, but if there is interference from the magnetic mining area...

It would be great if he could bring this little raccoon back, maybe he could solve the mystery of Xie Ling's entry into the valley.

But let alone catching it now, it is unknown whether it is possible to walk through the road with a scorched smell floating in front of it.Although Fang Zheng can also go around, this magnetic mining area is very large, and it will invade its "territory" no matter what.

Fang Zheng tried it first. He stretched out his bronze sword far away to touch the corpse of the giant orangutan. The little gorilla didn't stop him, and lay lazily on a high place. It seemed that this was not its food reserve.

After picking up the electrocuted giant white ape, Fang Zheng gasped - this is not an ape, nor is he covered in white hair.It's snow-white skin. In this cave, I don't know how long I haven't seen the sun...

It seems to be a creature between the evolution of ancient apes and humans, or it may be a lower branch of a certain stage of Nitraan or Homo sapiens.Fang Zheng guessed that they somehow hid underground in the abyss. After years of evolution (or degeneration), they became white all over, their eyes almost degenerated, their noses and ears were large, and their bodies were small.On all fours, with hands like claws.

Fang Zheng didn't know whether to call it "he" or "it", but Lian Feng said in surprise: "Brother Zheng, this is from Yumin. There is only one left, I thought it was eaten up."

"Eat, eat up?" Fang Zheng was terrified. Is it the man he imagined eating people?

Lian Feng said: "This kind of Yumin people are covered in snow and white. Every time they are caught, they are given as gifts to the monarch. It is said that these Yumin people don't grow old and die, and they don't eat grains, but only eat jade. If you can eat these Yumin people meat, you can live for thousands of years.”

Fang Zheng shivered, thinking that there is a kind of "white people" in "Shan Hai Jing", maybe it is this kind of thing.

According to records: In the Republic of China, people are as white as jade.There are no five grains in the country, only jade is eaten, and there are people who live a thousand years.This description, which was supposed to be associated with gods, was eaten up in the end.

In fact, judging from the scorched skin and flesh, this thing does not seem to have any supernatural powers. It is so dead that it is impossible to live for thousands of years.

"Is this the way these Yumin people have always been?" Fang Zheng asked.

"I heard that hundreds of years ago, they had a king, but after losing the battle, he fled into a deep cave. No matter how his subordinates burned and smoked outside, they couldn't let him out. So the people of Yumin generally They were caught in the depths of the cave, and no one knew where they lived. They also didn’t know what they lived on, and coupled with the color of their skin, it was gradually rumored that they only ate jade for immortality.”

"There is a monarch?" Fang Zheng stared at the giant gorilla corpse lying on the ground in disbelief, "Then they have degenerated too badly..."

This thing has completely lost its human intelligence and has become like a real orangutan.

It's a world of difference from being human to being an animal again.It took millions of years for nature to make them take the step of walking upright, and it took less than a few hundred years to escape into the underground cave, and they reversed from upright to crawling.

But the law of nature is like this. Once you escape from the battlefield of evolutionary competition, you will never win in the end.If you turn around, you will be millions of years behind.

Fang Zheng even urged himself to become stronger no matter how hard he worked, so that he would not be chased to nowhere after defeat... The result of degenerating into an animal is too cruel.Thinking in this way, he looked at the little cat again from a distance. People often generate static electricity in dry winter. above is possible.But such people are too rare.

The pet's fur is dry and smooth, and it is in a magnetic field mine. When changing postures, it releases super high voltage, which is also possible in theory, and it is especially violent when frightened or nervous.Fang Zheng calmed down, don't provoke it again now.He cut open the scorched Yumin with his copper sword, not for eating, but for knowing what was in the stomach of the species that "does not eat food but only jade" that so many forces pursued.

Fang Zheng discovered unexpectedly that the residue in its stomach was just an ordinary fruit.In addition, this thing also has a lot of white stones.Chinese medicine commonly used bezoar as medicine, that is, calculus of cattle.It is called monkey jujube that grows on monkeys, and it is called Goubao that grows on dogs. Anyway, as long as stones do not grow on humans, they are good things for medicine.

Fang Zheng guessed that those who wanted to eat Yumin before boiled or burned it, and regarded the white stones that could not be melted as jade essence, and spread the rumor that they could become immortals after eating it.There are even myths such as "the Yellow Emperor eats jade and becomes immortal".

"Jade does not grow in the human body." Fang Zheng spread the white stone on the palm of his hand to show Lian Feng, "This is something that is sick. It is not jade, so don't eat it indiscriminately." Even jade should not be eaten indiscriminately .In the final analysis, jade is a kind of quartz, which belongs to mudstone, and the human body cannot digest it.

Zifeng nodded, he remembered that in the Yuqiang camp, among those seniors who had to rely on medicine stones to maintain their strength, there was a saying of "food jade".Later they all died.

"Why can't I see other traces of the emperor's tomb around here?" Except for the wooden structures washed away by the flood, there are still very few artificial traces. Shouldn't they be getting closer to the center?Or maybe Shun was too frugal, and the main body of the tomb was only made of wood, and everything was gone when it was washed away by the flood?

Where does the heavy metal pollution from tribes on the platform come from?

Fang Zheng recalled the record in "Shan Hai Jing": On the mountain of Cangwu, Emperor Shun was buried in Yang, and Emperor Danzhu was buried in Yin.

The yang of the mountain is the south, and the yin of the mountain is the north.It's just a false indication that the person who wrote "Shan Hai Jing" at that time would not have actually been to the emperor's tomb.And in this underground abyss where the magnetic field is out of control, Fang Zheng feels that this mountain has probably experienced many geological movements, and the tombs of Shun and Danzhu buried in it may not be in their original positions.

There was another loud bang nearby, and Fang Zheng's ears were about to be deafened again.The little man climbed to the middle of the magnetic mine area, and Fang Zheng clearly saw that it released the lightning-like voltage of the purple snake again.Fang Zheng was stunned: Could it be that this magnetic mining area is like the terminal of the butterfly effect, whenever the little man releases voltage here, it will affect the magnets accordingly, and the magnets are like dominoes, affecting the nearby geology sports?To make a deafening noise?Fang Zheng was surprised: That's terrible, this little man didn't collapse the Cangwu Abyss?

"Brother Zheng, its movement intervals in that place are regular." Lian Feng reminded Fang Zheng, "I guess its ancestors were domesticated once, and the descendants have retained this habit."

Animals don't take the initiative to do things that have nothing to do with their nature, and Lian Feng really understands animals very well.Fang Zheng nodded, and further speculated that the area under its special care might be the key to solving the mystery.

They have no way of knowing the trend of the magnetic ore in the stratum, and naturally they don't know where the geological changes affected by the little prostitute's "butterfly claw" happened.They quietly bypassed the concentrating little man, and they didn't go far in that direction, and they were lucky enough to see the answer.

At the same time, Fang Zheng also understood where the metal pollution in this tomb came from.

In front is a huge phalanx of coffins, densely packed, enough for hundreds of turquoise copper coffins at a glance.

With so many metal coffins and so close to the magnetic field, the radiation pollution of heavy metals is magnified several times, and the pollution is no less than that of radioactive elements, as if living in a nuclear leak area.

The cyan color is the result of the oxidation of the bright copper. These copper coffins are half buried in the soil, as if the diggers ran away after being half buried.There's running water nearby and they've been rusted for a long time.

These "coffins" are not the regular wooden rectangles of later generations, they are like half hollow tree trunks, and then human corpses are stuffed inside.This was originally the simplest form of funeral in ancient times, but copper juice poured from head to toe from the person to the coffin, forming a semicircular mold shape.They were wrapped in a "cloak of copper".

The distorted and weird shapes, and the uncomfortable volatile smell that can be smelled immediately after getting close, made Fang Zheng more and more convinced that they were the culprit of heavy metal pollution.Who are these people? Could it be that they were buried for Shun?

Lian Feng pointed to one of the molds. It was a person lying on his side in a hollow tree trunk. When he was being poured with copper water, he was pulling his hands out as if trying to escape. His hands were in the shape of a grip.Lian Feng said: "Brother Zheng, that's the posture of a soldier wanting to hold a weapon."

So not a buried slave?But the soldiers after defeat?Where do they belong?Why pour copper on them?Is this magnetic mining area formed naturally, or is it deliberately set up like this by someone who has mastered the technology related to magnetite?

Just as he was thinking, the rumbling sound appeared again, and Fang Zheng felt like his head was about to explode.Only then did he hear clearly that the harsh sound was due to the scraping sound of rubbing against earth, rocks and metal.In the middle of the area where the copper coffin was located, something was about to protrude, but the surrounding ground was soft and subsidence.It was as if there were two forces manipulating a large number of copper coffins, one wanted to completely press them into the soil, and the other wanted to completely get the metal coffins out of the ground.Their rivalry resulted in the coffin half-buried in the thin soil.

Xiaoyu put "purple electricity" on the magnetic mine area, which caused the movement of the magnetic ore, which would probably cause the soil layer to subside.It does this thing repeatedly, is it going to lift the copper coffin, or is it going to push it down?

No matter what it is doing, there are two conflicting forces here wrestling with the copper coffin, and there must be something wrong under the copper coffin.

Fang Zheng quickly counted, there are 99 copper coffins in total, crowded together, due to years of land subsidence and rock collapse, there is water, the soil is loose, and the ground is fragmented.Fang Zheng was worried not only on the ground, but also on the ground nearby which had already become holes of briquettes.

Fang Zheng thought of the previous speculation, and said to Lian Feng: "Tell me, is it possible that these people are soldiers of Danzhu?"

Lian Feng said: "His mausoleum was built for him by Emperor Yao Yu after he was defeated and died in the war. Why are these people buried here?" He had a complicated expression, "What is underneath..."

Fang Zheng also clearly felt that there was something under the bronze molds that was always pushing up, but there were heavy clods and stone layers pressing on it, and they exerted intense pressure again and again.Fang Zheng couldn't help feeling nervous. He instinctively felt that he couldn't let that thing come out. If he couldn't stop it, he had to at least understand what it was.

But they had no clue, and even Feng had never heard of what was in the tomb.Shun entered the mausoleum alone. Before that, he only left a piece of tortoise shell with many things written on it, and then put the big tortoise into the river...

Speaking of the tortoise shell... Fang Zheng's eyes lit up. He also dug out a broken tortoise shell. He couldn't understand the words on it, but Fang Zheng remembered all its crooked earthworm-like shapes in his mind.

This is a habit that Fang Zheng has been forced to develop since he doesn't know when.Even if you don't understand, write it down first.At the beginning, he needed to consult a lot of literature for his adoptive father. He didn't want to see the sad face of his adoptive father who couldn't understand a certain point of view or data and couldn't proceed.So Fang Zheng memorized them all with great difficulty.Archeology involves a lot: chemistry, biology, physics, geography, astronomy, gold and stone, architecture... He can't understand it at all, but he can memorize it if he can.The adoptive father also said: Sooner or later, these things will become his treasure.

Treasures from the depths of time.

So Fang Zheng has a good habit of reciting and a good memory.Although the things on the tortoise shell were incomprehensible, Fang Zheng knew by feeling that this thing must be unusual, so he wrote down those earthworm-like things.

The tortoise shell was also what Lian Feng was looking for, and Lian Feng said that he could read the words on it.If you understand it, will you understand the confusing scene in front of you?Can greater danger be avoided?

Fang Zheng hesitated, the tortoise shell matters a lot, can he really trust Lian Feng completely?

Fang Zheng stared at his eyes, and suddenly turned Lian Feng to look at him, his eyes were extremely sharp and serious, "Lian Feng, you have to promise me. You will not betray me, never."
