People in Zong Tomb, Jieling Pirates

Chapter 59 Chalcedony

"Is there any discrepancy?" Hu Bayi looked at Chen Ziyan in surprise.

"Well, our guess is correct. The mysterious substance as the key raw material can indeed extend life, but this is just an external manifestation caused by the majestic vitality of the mysterious substance that repairs the defects in the living body.

"

"Majestic vitality?" Hu Bayi keenly grasped the key words.

"Maybe it's easier for you to understand it this way. In fact, the original experiment did not have mature technology, and the successful results were entirely dependent on that mysterious substance."

"To put it simply, those experimental subjects should have collapsed and died, but they were repaired by the vitality of the material."

"This..." Hu Bayi understood what Chen Ziyan meant, frowned and said, "Doesn't this mean that this laboratory is an empty shell, and the only thing of actual value is the so-called mysterious substance, right?"

Chen Ziyan nodded lightly: "It's absolutely fine for you to understand it this way. This is also the main reason why the fortress garrison abandoned this place when they evacuated."

"After a series of studies, they concluded that this mysterious substance is a unique non-renewable energy source and there is no possibility of artificial replication."

Speaking of this, Chen Ziyan remembered something mentioned in his diary and said:

"By the way, this diary also mentioned that after they discovered that this substance could not be reproduced artificially, they sent personnel to establish a sub-base in a similar place with the intention of extracting the mysterious substance there."

"It's just that not long after, the disposal base completely lost news. In view of the urgent situation at that time, the researchers here had no way to send people to check, so they had to give up the mining plan."

For some reason, Hu Bayi suddenly felt a sense of déjà vu after hearing what Chen Ziyan said.

It was as if he had been exposed to these before.

Seeing that Hu Bayi was deep in thought, Wang Kaixuan came over and pointed at the mummy and asked, "Mr. Chen, did the diary say what happened to this corpse?"

"This person was the person in charge of the laboratory at the time and the owner of this diary. Looking at the last description above, he must have been insane at the time and could not accept the failure of the experiment he led. In the end, he chose to be with himself.

The most perfect works of this life are integrated into one." Chen Ziyan replied.

The last part of this diary is actually the suicide note of the owner of this diary.

It was precisely because of this that he was able to learn this.

"Integrated into one?" Wang Kaixuan asked incomprehensively as he heard the clouds and fog swirling around the mountains: "Isn't this corpse still here? How did it melt?"

Chen Ziyan shined a flashlight on the neck of the mummy. Although the corpse only had dry skin and bones left, some marks on the skin could still be seen clearly.

He pointed to the two holes in the neck of the mummy and said, "Fat man, look at this."

"Is this a tooth mark?" Wang Kaixuan frowned and looked at the two holes, still not understanding what Chen Ziyan wanted to say.

Seeing this, Chen Ziyan pointed helplessly at the dead dog-like experimental body next to him and said: "That's what this thing left behind. To put it bluntly, this thing is just a hodgepodge. The digestive system is a transplant of some unique organism that can use the food produced in the body."

Digestive enzymes melt the organs and flesh of the prey, do you understand?"

Wang Kaixuan blinked and subconsciously trembled: "I understand! I understand!"

Then he couldn't help but kick the mummy beside him away, and spat in disgust: "This little devil is really a vegetarian. He will die if he wants to die, and he has pulled such a trick!"

In response, Chen Ziyan nodded in agreement.

Not only was it hard for Wang Kaixuan to understand, he also thought the idea was crazy.

This so-called integration method is really disgusting!

And what Chen Ziyan didn't say is that at the end of the diary, there are the personal feelings left by this scientific researcher... the feelings that were slowly being corroded away.

It’s simply unbearable to look at!

"I see!"

At this moment, Hu Bayi, who had been deep in thought since just now, suddenly said loudly.

Wang Kaixuan quickly shook off the horrific images in his mind, looked at Hu Bayi and asked, "Old Hu, what do you know?"

Although Chen Ziyan said nothing, he also cast his gaze over.

He also wanted to know, what on earth did Hu Bayi know?

"Jinjing!" Hu Bayi looked at the curious two people and slowly uttered two words.

"Jinjing?" Chen Ziyan frowned slightly. He knew the meaning of this word, but what does it have to do with this place?

As far as he knew, the word "Golden Well" refers to the Feng Shui hole in the mausoleum, which is specially used for the coffin to receive the earth's energy. It is also the core point of the mausoleum.

But where they are now, there is no trace of a mausoleum at all?

"Mr. Chen, do you know about the fine wine and jade liquid?" Hu Bayi saw Chen Ziyan's confusion and asked.

"Jade liquid?" When Chen Ziyan heard this word, the information mentioned in the Xieling inheritance immediately appeared in Chen Ziyan's mind, and he looked at him in surprise: "Are you talking about the earth vein chalcedony?"

Since ancient times, famous mountains and rivers have been the place where pulses and qi gather. Over time, chalcedony will grow. If you eat it, you will gain immortality!

This is the description of chalcedony in the inheritance he received. Just the four words "can obtain immortality" are enough to illustrate the preciousness of this earth vein chalcedony.

"That's right!" Hu Ba nodded and said: "When I heard Mr. Chen mention the powerful vitality just now, I felt that this effect was somewhat familiar. When I talked about the so-called sub-base later, the first thing I thought of was that this can only

The jade liquid bred in the golden well of the treasure land."

"This jade liquid is also called raw water. It is the water condensed by the vitality of the earth's veins. It can dispel all kinds of poisons, eliminate all kinds of diseases, and has the miraculous effect of bringing the dead back to life. It is in line with the mysterious substance that Mr. Chen just mentioned."

"Why do I seem to have heard this?" After hearing Hu Bayi's words, Wang Kaixuan frowned and thought for a moment, then suddenly said: "Hey! Old Hu, did you say this in the Hundred Eyes Cave back then?

ah?"

Wang Kaixuan has a very good memory. Although it has been many years, he still recalled where he heard this sentence.

What's more, that unforgettable experience left a very deep impression on him.

Hearing Wang Kaixuan mention this place name that he wanted to forget, Hu Ba's eyes flashed with a hint of gloom, and he nodded and said, "That's right, do you remember the water bladder that saved us back then?"

Wang Kaixuan nodded: "Remember."

Hu Bayi said firmly: "I guess the two should be the same thing!"

Wang Kaixuan scratched his head: "Then according to your opinion, the sub-base mentioned by Mr. Chen just now is the research institute we discovered in Baiyan Cave."

"If you think about what Mr. Chen just said, don't you find that many things are true?" Hu Bayi did not answer directly, but asked Wang Kaixuan to find the answer on his own.

For now, everything is just his opinion, and he plans to let Wang Kaixuan verify whether his guess is correct.
