Yes, this is the inspection site for the golden body/physical relics of the Sixth Patriarch Huineng who came to Beijing. Along with this, there are also a batch of strange objects that have been recovered from the east and west roads of Lingnan; but the most conspicuous The one with the six sets of golden bodies specially placed is the bronze one.
As the captain and deputy in charge of the escort opened the special double mechanism lock, and opened the noble door carved into a pair of cypress trees, a shriveled figure with his head slightly lowered and sitting cross-legged was revealed in an instant. In an instant, it was as if invisible ripples spread out on the spot.
Therefore, in the many special containers present, there are precious lights shining from time to time, and it is like invisible whispers whispering softly in your ears; however, when you concentrate and want to listen, they disappear completely. In comparison, the dark and shriveled mottled golden body seemed motionless.
However, Jiang Tian saw the prompt in his field of vision: "We found that spiritual energy is spreading, should we use a container to collect it?" At the same time, everyone present could not help but express their emotions, including surprise, piety, shock, intoxication, etc. With an expression on his face, he stood there like a statue.
At this moment, it seemed as if all the languages and background sounds present disappeared in an instant, leaving only the silence that made people extremely safe, comfortable and tranquil, and it was like being immersed in the water without disturbing anything and just thinking about it. Let people just maintain it like this forever.
And when Jiang Tian's choice was confirmed, a yellow bead suddenly appeared in his hand, which was an unknown spirit condensation brought back from a small lake in another medieval world; the next moment, he shot a finger into the shriveled golden body with a flick of his heart. As he opened his jaw, all prompts disappeared in an instant.
As the prompt disappeared, everyone present felt as if they were waking up from a dream, recovering from this vision; and the monks and believers gathered outside, and they did not know when the darkness filled the ground and they were kneeling and praying loudly. . "What did you all hear?" Jiang Tian couldn't help but asked:
"The Bodhisattva preaches the sermon, and the heavenly dragon sings in meditation." "The golden flowers fall to the ground, and the gates of heaven are wide open." "The ancient human emperors overcame thorns and thorns." "The dragon travels in the Qiongyu, moving clouds and spreading rain." Then, to Jiang Tian's surprise, everyone's answer was almost different, just like a reflection of some inner tendency.
However, after seeing the reactions of those present, Jiang Tian was convinced that the invisible spiritual energy emanating from the golden body of the Sixth Patriarch could soothe the mind and calm emotional fluctuations, and even in disguise, cleanse selfish thoughts and temporarily eliminate the conflict. Various special effects of reading.
Therefore, when the invisible effect that spread throughout the city was interrupted by Jiang Tian, members of the Supervisory Department, including Deputy Supervisor Yu Cong who was also present, as well as Haigong and other eunuchs from Ouchi, could not help but look disappointed. Or it's regret, like losing something important.
As a result, the monks present became extremely pious and convinced, with a look of realization and determination that if you dare to touch the golden body of the Sixth Patriarch, I will fight you to the death, even if you don't hesitate to splash blood on your face. However, Jiang Tian, who was invited to witness and identify, did not intend to cause trouble.
Because according to the prior agreement, this golden statue of the Sixth Patriarch will stay at Guanyin Temple/Grand Guanyin Temple; after receiving worship from believers for a period of time, it will be sent to Ouchi to receive the royal enshrinement. Then, multiple departments in the imperial court joined forces to undergo further research and experiments in secret.
However, the next step in appraising the rare objects that came to the capital with the golden body, the rare objects presented by Liangling, were a bit disappointing. In addition to a green bead that emits light when exposed to water, there is also a bronze mirror that can vaguely reflect the outline of the internal organs when exposed to light. It is said to be a bronze mirror of the King of Nanyue confiscated from tomb robbers.
Other strange objects are just a bunch of shiny-looking goods; or, in other words, they are just some existences with traces of energy dissipation; therefore, as time goes by, the energy dissipates and basically shows no effect. Or it may be that you have been exposed to nearby radiation from a strong energy source.
However, when Jiang Tian informed everyone present of this conclusion on the spot, their expressions were quite subtle; and Yu Cong even suggested to keep quiet on the spot with a solemn face. Then, he pulled Jiang Tian aside and persuaded him earnestly: "Jianzheng, please be careful what you say!"
"What should you say with caution?" Jiang Tian asked, not knowing why, "Is there any hidden secret behind these things?"
"Anything involving the Nanhai Office is really a big deal!" Yu Cong's face was filled with surprise and a smile.
Shaking his head slightly: "Could it be that you are going to write a letter to the court to try to verify this based on such baseless speculations. Is it possible that there may be more powerful magical objects hidden and hidden in the place?"
"What, such a thing can happen?" Jiang Tian couldn't help but be surprised: but then he came back to his senses and felt that it was not impossible; after all, although the world was still generally peaceful as before, there were reports and reports of various changes. It is enough for some local powerful factions to prepare for a rainy day.
After pressing this interlude and returning to the underground Xijing branch with the two rare objects, Jiang Tian even thought of the corresponding use. This blue bead can be used as a fireless light source in a certain sense; and the Nanyue King Mirror is more like the rumored Bone Mirror of King Qin.
It is an ancient mysterious version of a simple X-ray illuminator. Depending on the strength of the refracted light source, it presents different levels of projection shaping effects. This is of great use for the Xijing branch's heterogeneous research/autopsy, or for trauma detection in many surgical operations.
However, here he received another piece of good news, one piece of bad news, one piece of news that was neither good nor bad. The good news is that after this period of recuperation, due to the excessive use of the secondary derivative "Rain", various degrees of mutation occurred, which favored the surviving soldiers of the Battle of Baoxiegu.
Most people have recovered physically and stabilized their mental state. They no longer see all kinds of inexplicable fantasies and are dominated by the desire for flesh and blood, which leads to manic self-mutilation and disorderly aggressive behavior. But the bad news is that several of them don't survive this physical and mental transformation.
The result of losing consciousness and control is that the whole body suddenly squirms and bulges in a special restraint device, exploding and shattering on the spot, and the ground is covered with blood and flesh, or suddenly in an ice pool used to cool down the overheated body. It melted into a large puddle of thick blood.
Therefore, in the end, there were thirty-seven soldiers who had completed various degrees of transformation; they were able to join the supervisory action team/backup team directly under Jiang Tian; plus the more than ten existing members who stayed behind, they formed exactly five special service teams , and conduct running-in training with other lay soldiers.
And the news, which is neither good nor bad, happened in the underground secret warehouse deep in the supervisory department. Afterwards, Jiang Tian came to the corridor located behind the main building of the Yamen and under the large cavity on the inside of the stone wall. As a thick iron door at the end was opened, a giant tank was immediately revealed inside.
And floating faintly in this tall, translucent glass vat was the half of the mummy that Jiang Tian brought back from Dongdu Underground City. It's just that the color has become darker, and the strands of flowers of flesh and blood extending from the orifices have become more prosperous and dense.
It's like many swaying groups of yellow, white and pink deep-sea jellyfish, which have spread over most of the tank space; even without any external influence, they seem to move with subtle frequency and rhythm in the extremely clear tank liquid. , shrinking as if breathing faintly.
According to the observation records left during this period, after being cut off from the feeding of flesh and blood organs for a long time, the mummy and its derivatives still grew and expanded at a subtle rate, as if following some kind of The invisible environment changes and gradually becomes active.
"Look, Supervisor, this is the latest discovery of our institute." The chief medical officer Bai Bohuan, who had just been called over, wiped away unknown stains on his mask while using a long-handled probe with pliers to probe from a distance. He reached into the large glass vat, and was instantly entangled in the fleshy tentacles he touched.
Immediately, a piece of pink and white flesh that was struggling and squirming was cut off; after being exposed to the air, it quickly shriveled and turned black, and was quickly thrown into a transparent container with quick eyes and hands. Then a mouse was thrown in, and in an instant the shriveled fleshy whiskers suddenly started to move like a leech.
In the blink of an eye, it plunged into the mouse's eye socket, and then disappeared from the rolling, struggling, hissing mouse. The next moment, the mouse, which was twitching all over and with its legs in the air, suddenly began to squirm violently in its belly, and squirming blood tumors swelled up and then exploded.
In the bloody mess where only a piece of rat skin was left, a squirming mass of flesh and blood stood up, and then stretched out with a fine hissing sound. However, at this moment, Jiang Tian suddenly saw the outline of a severely shrunken version of the deformed beast; then it violently struck and bitten inside the glass container.
However, after just a dozen breaths, the mouse's body developed a
The born aberration quickly loses its activity under artificial external strong light and melts into a puddle of red and black viscous matter; just like the corpse of the ferocious beast that was dissected in public when the Yamen was first appointed to Jinwu Street.
Jiang Tian couldn't help but realize in his heart that perhaps the growths growing inside the half of the mummy, which looked like cordyceps, were the underground city in the Eastern Capital, one of the sources of those mutated objects. Thinking that he had personally touched this mummy, he couldn't help but feel a little chill.
"Jian Zheng Mingjian, we have also tried other living creatures." Then Bai Bohuan continued: "Among them, turtles, frogs, snakes and lizards have the worst effect. They will only turn into a ball of rotten meat; chickens, ducks and geese are the second best. , can revive from death for a short time, but soon disintegrates and festers; then there are pigs and sheep.”
"Even a pig or sheep with its head cut off, as long as it is possessed by this thing, can continue to toss for several hours without a head; a blood tumor will even grow from the fracture, but once it is punctured , he fell to the ground and festered. But his organs melted afterwards."
"But larger living creatures that are attached by this thing can still live for a period of time as long as it does not reach a sufficient weight; it will only produce different degrees of distortion such as horniness, scales, and bone plates in the appendage; After being cut open, it can be seen that it is as big as a core, like a seed of flesh and blood..."
"Then, the dug-out flesh and blood seeds are buried in the living bodies of other animals. After a while, new changes will occur; more additional head horns will grow, the bones will harden, and the claws will grow; some of them will be quite close to those of those animals. It has the characteristics of a strange beast. But the key point is also in this flesh and blood species."
