This time, the animal mummies were still as easy to cut as tofu pieces, but the meridian structure was completely invisible, just like some rotten bacon.
As time went by, this mummy seemed to be rapidly replaying the decay process of thousands of years, turning into a ball of mud at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Even compared to the mummy whose soul had been extracted before, this mummy was more completely decayed, like a pile of black mud.
"How about it, have you seen some tricks?
Can the soul also enhance the preservation time of the mummy? "
In addition to being able to understand the role of the crystal core in absorbing the soul, Jiang Yingxue could not draw any inspiration from these two rapid decays.
It's like observing a pile of dead branches on the roadside slowly decaying. Apart from being able to describe the decomposition of microorganisms, you don't know anything about other related physical and chemical phenomena.
"Remember some of the research documents we obtained in the sleep deprivation laboratory?
One passage refers to reflections on the analogy between the phenomenon of spontaneous human combustion and the phenomenon of vampire annihilation.
The rapid annihilation of a vampire's body is like the rapid oxidation of silk fabrics taken out of ancient tombs. This is in line with the general law of entropy increase.
It is precisely because the soul has certain immortal characteristics that it can ensure the long-term existence of the vampire body.
Similarly, the animal mummies here have been stored in the air for so many years. Even if there are basic principles of dehydration and antisepsis, similar to some thousand-year-old Egyptian mummies, those mummies preserved in the desert can still maintain the integrity of the mummies. The mummy had already decayed like a piece of rotten wood.
Therefore, these animal mummies can survive for thousands of years, obviously taking advantage of some special properties of the soul. "
Unexpectedly, Bai Ning could think of some experimental guesses he had obtained before, and use some speculative conclusions to delineate an unknown thing. This kind of thing sounds very bold and unreliable.
“Even if we knew why these animal mummies could survive for thousands of years, what could we do with them?
We can't continue to burn it to see if we can make the white pillar full, right? "
Even if what Bai Ning extended was correct, it seemed to be of no help to the current predicament.
Jiang Yingxue asked this question because she wanted to hint to Bai Ning not to make some irrelevant attempts. The key was to solve the current predicament quickly.
"This at least proves that the Gene Temple and the Soul Temple are not absolutely isolated. There must be some correlation between the two. This is the key we use to break through the current dilemma."
Bai Ning seems to have acquired a certain optimism in this attempt, or perhaps he has found some solutions to the current predicament.
In this regard, Jiang Yingxue can only choose to continue to be a loyal audience and see how Bai Ning solves the current predicament.
What surprised Jiang Yingxue was that Bai Ning turned around and left the Gene Temple, moving quickly in a direction that might symbolize giving up.
Bai Ning once said that the core of the illusion is trying to destroy this ancient ruins, and the previous civil war among the beasts also proved this guess.
Could it be that Bai Ning wants to find a solution from the outside and let the core of the illusion help them break the restrictions here?
However, asking for the help of a destroyer, isn’t this taking chestnuts from the fire?
It might even be a self-destructive act of recklessness!
Doubts continued in her heart, but she didn't know how to dissuade Bai Ning. Jiang Yingxue could only frown and follow outside the temple.
Even if Bai Ning finally carried an outermost mummy out of the temple, Jiang Yingxue was still indifferent.
At this time, Ivan and others were gathered in the square outside the temple. Seeing how they looked like they were doing nothing, it was clear that there had been no changes in the outside of the temple during this period.
Seeing Bai Ning and others carrying a mummy of an animal out, although Ivan and others were curious, there was no excitement among the team.
The beasts in this ancient ruins caused them great harm and almost wiped them out. Even a mummy of an animal was enough to make this group of desperadoes terrified.
Ivan really didn't want to get close to the animal mummy at this time, but he was also the leader of the remaining desperadoes, and he still had to show off his basic posture, otherwise he would be useless cannon fodder.
Ivan reluctantly came closer and looked at the mummy, which he didn't know what purpose it was for. He didn't know what to ask, so he could only pretend to be very stupid and help transport it.
Seeing Bai Ning standing aside naturally, and Aaron showing no intention of letting go, Ivan was shocked. Could this mummy have some other uses?
However, Bai Ning just stood quietly like this, not knowing what he was thinking. His arms were sore from lifting, and Ivan could only endure it silently. Aaron didn't even complain about being tired, so what right did he, Ivan, have to rest?
Finally, as if he had made some important decision, Bai Ning waved his hand and led Ivan to carry the mummy of the animal to the square in front of the temple.
The group of people soon arrived at the square where burnt corpses were everywhere, and a group of desperadoes also gathered around curiously, as if they were very interested in the purpose of this mummy.
Bai Ning had already stood still. Just when Ivan was about to ask Bai Ning what he should do next, the mummy in his hand suddenly began to squirm inexplicably.
Aroused by this sight, the surrounding desperadoes immediately dispersed far away, looking very frightened.
Ivan originally wanted to see what Bai Ning's attitude was, but when he saw Aaron quickly throwing the mummy on the ground, Ivan, who was so worried about the dead souls, also quickly gave up and backed away.
Isn't this a scam?
He, a person who knew nothing, was carrying a strange mummy, without even giving a hint, relying on his own cleverness to protect himself. What was the difference between this and gambling on life?
The movement of the animal mummy seemed very slow, and it felt like it was slowly regaining its vitality. But how could a severely dehydrated mummy regain its vitality?
Just as Ivan was confused, Bai Ning suddenly ordered the desperadoes to gather all the nearby high-imitation animal carcasses and pile them on top of the mummy.
This order confused everyone, but since it was Bai Ning's order, under the leadership of Ivan, the remaining desperadoes carried out their tasks fearfully.
The corpses piled up quickly, and the mummies were quickly buried among the fresh corpses. As a medium-sized pile of corpses was completely formed, Bai Ning also gave the order to stop.
Seeing this inexplicable behavior, various rumors of wizards' sacrifices emerged in everyone's mind. Could it be that Bai Ning wanted to use the fresh corpse to resurrect the mummy?
Just when everyone was confused, the entire pile of corpses suddenly ignited with a blue will-o'-the-wisp fire, which was completely different from the yellow self-igniting flame before.
With the occurrence of this strange phenomenon, the entire pile of corpses seemed to be rising and falling with a certain rhythm, as if the mummies of animals buried underneath were constantly being resurrected.
"What the hell..."
Shocked by the inexplicable sight in front of her, Jiang Yingxue was a little dizzy, and she didn't understand the meaning of this move at all. Just as Jiang Yingxue was about to ask, a bright yellow pillar of fire instantly rose into the sky, illuminating the semi-bright space.
As this self-igniting flame exploded, all the animal carcasses that had been slowly melting in the blue flames turned into ashes and dispersed.
As everyone's shocked expressions gradually softened, only ashes of some inorganic matter remained on this land.
"What are you doing, conducting a spontaneous combustion experiment?"
Jiang Yingxue pointed to the ashes on the ground and asked, but what she received was still Bai Ning's silent silence.
I don’t know the reason, is it just a random experiment?
But what exactly is the significance of this move?
You can't think that Bai Ning is too bored in the process of solving the endgame of the Gene Temple, so he wants to order some fire tornadoes for entertainment, right? !
Everyone was waiting for Bai Ning's reply, but Bai Ning seemed to have suddenly become mute, still standing there and thinking silently.
Silent in the dim light of the sky, a group of people gathered in the square of a temple, like a frozen picture of a puzzle, waiting for those who came after to break the mirror to solve the mystery.
Not knowing the reason or the result, the desperadoes waited for a moment, and could only look at each other a few times, and then maintained a relaxed posture, standing or squatting, looking restrained and casual.
"Let's go. Let's return to the temple."
Just when everyone thought Bai Ning had fallen asleep, he suddenly said hello and was about to return to the Gene Temple again.
"Can you roughly describe your overall thinking?"
Although Jiang Yingxue knew that there might be a huge plan in Bai Ning's heart, she always felt that she would die quietly inexplicably as she went in and out of it inexplicably.
“The types of souls in high-imitation animals are completely different from the types of souls in dried animal corpses, but together, they can show the effect of spontaneous combustion of the human body.
This may indicate that the human soul is the source of everything.
In Buddhism, there are six paths of reincarnation: the path of gods, the path of humans, and the path of animals.
When the study of the soul finds that the human soul is superior to animals, then using the characteristics of the human soul to drive animals is an application. Thinking about the difference between the human soul and the divine soul may be the ultimate goal of soul research. .
To summarize this ultimate goal, that is, to create gods! "
Bai Ning's narration shocked Jiang Yingxue at her out-of-the-box thinking, but the possibilities contained in it really made her have to be convinced and have to think about it.
For a religious civilization that worships the sea god, creating gods seems to be the most valuable sacred cause to pursue.
"You mean that the so-called Soul Temple and Gene Temple are evidence that the existence in this ancient ruins once created gods.
The reason why the Soul Temple was destroyed was because their research on the soul had made traditional religious forces fearful.
Thinking more deeply, the reason why the black pillar inside was not destroyed may be because it already possesses a trace of divinity.
This kind of divinity may have a certain similarity with the sea god Poseidon, or it may be imitated after the sea god Poseidon.
However, even so, what can we do about the white pillar? "
Jiang Yingxue told the relevant associations in her mind, which was a very bold guess. But as she emphasized at the end, what impact could this speculative conclusion have on the current predicament?
