Part 1 Maya Maya Chapter 21: Greed can¡¯t escape the bright eyes

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The skeleton that crawled out stopped until all its outlines were revealed.

    A faint and weird smile enveloped the whole face with only bones left. Although there were no eyeballs in the two dark eye sockets, everyone still felt the bright eyes projected from inside. The deep nose piercings looked kind.  It was indescribably uncomfortable, but the two neat rows of teeth were still as white as new, slightly reflecting the white light.

    As early as the moment when the skeleton was first seen rising, the Yin Yang Crystal Palace seemed to be frozen. There was no movement, no sound, and even the subtle breathing and pounding heartbeat seemed to have stopped.  Everyone stared intently at the strange skeleton, and the skeleton stared motionlessly at the people in front of them. They just stared at each other, staring at each other, and sleepiness crept into their hearts, and their eyelids could no longer bear their own.  Weight, nothingness in my mind

    It wasn¡¯t until Taoist Master Xuan Jizi¡¯s shout rang out that everyone was awakened, ¡°Close your eyes and don¡¯t look at each other!¡±

    After Qi Lin and others heard this, they reacted immediately and quickly withdrew their gazes. Some closed their eyes to rest, and some looked around. However, no one dared to stare into the eyes of the skeleton and continue to look, because they didn't know why their eyes were just now.  He was attracted to it, but he couldn't bear to leave. Thanks to the Taoist priest's reminder, he avoided falling into Taoism again.

    After calming down, Mr. Shi and Professor Chen walked to the side of the crystal octagonal prism and carefully observed the skull from the back and side. This skull was not made of crystal, but actually made of sapphire!  Why did a sapphire skull appear at an inappropriate time in the Yin-Yang Crystal Palace, which is beautiful and full of crystals? Mr. Shi was really a little confused, but no matter what, from the beginning of the operation to now, after experiencing some accidents and hardships, he finally saw a  The shadow of the skeleton, even if it is not the crystal skull that I expected, is at least better than nothing.

    Professor Chen took out another small instrument and turned on the switch. He saw that the pointer on the instrument panel was shaking suddenly and suddenly. This was a signal of electromagnetic waves. Could there be electromagnetic effects in this skeleton?  Professor Chen was not very surprised. After all, in a broad sense, all objects in nature have electromagnetic waves, ranging from mountains and rivers to ants and caterpillars. Even the human body is no exception. The only difference is the electromagnetic intensity. But  The electromagnetic waves emitted by this skeleton are extremely unstable. What's going on?

    While Professor Chen was still carefully measuring the physical indicators of the skull, Mr. Shi had already completed the anthropological positioning of the skull and said: "The structure of this skull, except for the slightly larger eye sockets, is completely in line with the characteristics of the Chinese race.  , it seems to be quite related to us.¡±

    "Mr. Shi, what is the Chinese race? Can you explain it a little bit?" Qi Lin had never heard of the term Chinese race, so he asked humbly.

    "Oh, it is indeed necessary to explain the concept of the Chinese race to everyone. As we all know, the most common standard for classifying human populations currently distributed on the earth is to divide them into yellow, white, brown and human race according to skin color.  There are four categories of black people. Another popular name for yellow people in Western countries is Mongoloid. However, this statement is unscientific and extremely imprecise, because Mongolia as a tribe or group of people first appeared in about the 13th century.  In other words, when Genghis Khan unified all the tribes on the Mongolian Plateau, the Chinese civilization had already existed for dozens of centuries BC. The founder of the Chinese civilization should appropriately call it the Chinese race, and the number of the Chinese race is far greater than  Mongoloid, so using the name of a minority group that appeared later to represent the entire yellow race is obviously an overgeneralization and lacks rigor.

    Furthermore, although there is still some debate about the origin of the Mongolian people, it is indeed widely recognized that the Mongolian people originated from the fusion of Donghu, Xianbei, Xiongnu and Wuhuan ethnic groups, and these ethnic groups, including the Mongolians, are all Chinese.  So according to everyone's opinion, is it more objective to call the yellow race people the Chinese race?  "

    Everyone had no objection to Mr. Shi's explanation, and Qi Lin even felt a little bit unhappy, "Whether it's the population ratio or the time of origin, the Chinese nation is always the boss. The yellow race can definitely figure out their own family affairs.  There is no need to mix things up like those white-haired foreigners are trying to replace you."

    The topic was getting a bit far away. Mr. Shi realized this and brought it back to the topic: "The skull is the most important part for judging human race in anthropology. The most striking feature of yellow people is the spade-shaped teeth on the inside of the upper incisors. There are other symptoms as well.  The face is relatively flat, the cheekbones are prominent, the nose is of medium width, and the chin bone is not protruding. Of course, features such as black hair, epicanthal folds around the eyes, and yellow skin cannot be seen from the current skull.  These are just some external auxiliary specialties and have little impact on the judgment of human race."

    People of yellow race, haha, I didn¡¯t expect that the first skull found was of Chinese race. Qi Lin felt that things were getting more and more interesting.

      At this time, Yi Meng, who had been observing silently, touched the focused Mr. Shi with his hand and said, "Teacher, look, there are two words here. Although I have never seen these two words before, I feel  It¡¯s very close to cuneiform, don¡¯t you think?¡±

    "Cuneiform?" Although Qi Lin was not very good at mathematics when he was in school, he was one of the best in geography and history, so he chose liberal arts when he was in the third grade of high school. "Isn't cuneiform a unique writing in ancient Babylon?"

    "Haha, Xiao Qi knows a lot, what should I say? You are only half right. It is true that cuneiform once existed in the ancient Babylonian civilization in the Mesopotamia, but it was not created by them. According to the current human  Archeology has discovered that cuneiform writing was created by the ancient Sumerians before the ancient Babylonian civilization. The founders of the early days of ancient Sumer called themselves "black-haired people." According to measurements and studies of human skeletons that have been unearthed in recent years  , it can basically be concluded that ancient Sumer conforms to the characteristics of the yellow race.  "

    "The Sumerians are also of the yellow race. Aren't they also part of our Chinese race?" Qi Lin was slightly surprised, but his hasty judgment was not recognized by Shi Lao. "It is true that the Sumerians are of the yellow race, but  But they may not necessarily belong to the Chinese race. It is more likely that the ancient ancestors of the two races are cousins ??or cousins. After all, current archaeological discoveries show that the ancient Sumerian civilization relics seem to be earlier than the history of the Chinese civilization.  Of course, I personally do not agree with the echo of some so-called scholars in China in recent years. They have joined some Western anthropologists in saying that ancient Chinese civilization is the continuation of ancient Sumerian civilization. It is really ridiculous!  Although Chinese civilization is recognized as starting from the Xia Dynasty, aren¡¯t the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors before the Xia Dynasty the predecessors of Chinese civilization, let alone Pangu¡¯s theory of creating the world and the Suiren clan.¡±

    Mr. Shi showed his pride as a descendant of China, which infected everyone present, including the warthog.  The warthog said: "Let's just throw all these aside, then why is this skull of our yellow race and not some white, black and brown? It's clear that we Chinese are capable, even  Everyone¡¯s head is yellow.¡±

    Qi Lin felt a little dumbfounded when he heard what Warthog said with very confusing logic, but at least Comrade Warthog was no longer full of thoughts about Brother Kong Fang. There was progress!  Qi Lin thought as he walked to Mr. Shi, wanting to see what those two words looked like, even though he had absolutely no talent in this area.

    "Damn, these two characters are so amazing. They are actually engraved on the forehead. I really can't imagine why not engraved with the character 'Íõ'. That would look so majestic. You will know that you are the boss wherever you go!" Qi Lin saw.  Two paintings that look like paintings by a three-year-old child and so-called words that are a collection of abstract lines are arranged up and down on the forehead of the skull. They are indescribably childish and ridiculous, but they are made by an old scholar who is nearly 70 years old and a top writer.  The cryptography expert frowned, as if he was about to take a big exam.  "Hey, I wonder what you can see from it?" Qi Lin shook his head and walked away.

    No one else could help, so they wandered around in the extremely vast space of the Yin-Yang Crystal Palace to see if they could find anything else, leaving only Shi Lao and his proud disciple Yi Meng thinking there.

    "Teacher, the more I read, the more I feel that these two characters don't look like cuneiform. In terms of characteristics, they still have a bit of Oracle, but they are obviously very different. And if you look at them sideways, they seem to be a bit Phoenician.  It feels like the prototype of early writing, how could it be like this?" Yi Meng was staring at the forehead of the crystal skull with a frown at this time, and murmured.

    "Yes, they are all related, but they are all different. Maybe, I mean maybe, these two characters are earlier than cuneiform and hieroglyphics. If you make a bold judgment, they may also be the source of cuneiform and hieroglyphics.  , of course, including the Phoenician script that appeared later. So far, this is the first time that this kind of script has been discovered, and it should not be possible to decipher it in a short while. Xiao Yi, please make a rubbing first, and we will  Take the rubbing back and study it slowly. Maybe someone in my old antique circle will have some other insights." Mr. Shi couldn't figure out the meaning of these two words, so he ordered Yi Meng to make a rubbing and take it back.

    "What age are we in, why are we still making seals? Let's let this old skeleton man from five hundred years ago experience the latest human technology." The warthog was wandering back, and when he heard Mr. Shi's instructions to Yi Meng, he was fine.  He politely took out a point-and-shoot camera from his bag, pointed it at the skeleton and pressed the shutter.

    When Qi Lin saw this scene, he felt funny in his heart. This warthog, who doesn't know how to pretend to understand, is still very advanced with a broken point-and-shoot camera. What age is it? SLRs have long been rampant on the streets. This guy  He even used an ordinary digital camera as a treasure.

    "Click!" "Stop!", two voices sounded at the same time.

    The click was the Warthog¡¯s point-and-shoot camera, and the word ¡°stop¡± was the loud shout from the cameraman.  But the Taoist priest obviously shouted too late!

      The moment the dazzling white light of the flash flashed, the skull's eyes came to life!

    Strictly speaking, the skeleton has awakened!  I saw that the two dark eye sockets of the skeleton suddenly glowed with light. Two swirling groups of seven-colored light seemed to come out of the depths of the skull and began to rotate slowly. The light groups also slowly became larger and thicker as they rotated, and finally filled with  The entire eye socket then shot out suddenly, like a strong flashlight that pressed a switch. Two cylindrical light beams instantly reflected on the big head of the warthog in front of them. The light did not stop on the warthog's head, but  It passed through the warthog's head and continued to shoot straight ahead, until it was projected onto the opposite wall, and then merged into one.

    The moment the light passes through, the warthog's head seems to be placed under a CT scan and suddenly becomes transparent. The pores and fat particles of the skin, the seams and cavities of the skull, the fine tissues and capillaries of the brain, are all visible.  Under the penetration of light, it can be seen clearly.  On the wall where the light shines through the warthog's head, the warthog is holding a crowbar in his hand, struggling to open a stone coffin, then he lifts his buttocks and sticks his upper body in. After a while, he takes out a coffin in his hand.  The bronze tripod was still dripping with coffin fluid, and then he leaned down againThen the scene switched to a small room with bright lights. Two police-looking people were sitting behind a long table.  The warthog drooped his head in submission, nodded vigorously in the end, stood up and signed his name on a few pages The scene then changed, this time in a hotel room, with a fierce woman holding a pillow in her hand.  Chasing the naked warthog around the house, another young woman was hiding in a corner shivering wrapped in a bath towel, her eyes full of anxiety and panic

    Qi Lin's gaze extended from the warthog's head to the wall, and he was filled with surprise, "This romantic tomb-robbing pig is actually scheduled to be included in a small movie. You should choose a positive image when making a movie. This is another trial.  What kind of thing is it to catch an adulterer? How can Yi Meng still have the courage to face a good life when she sees it" Qi Lin suddenly felt something was wrong, this is not a fucking movie, it is just a memory replay!  Warthogs in danger!

    Qi Lin ran over in three steps and two steps at a time, kicked his body in the air, and kicked the warthog out of the projection area of ??the skull's eyes. The warthog turned over and got up, looking at Qi Lin and the people in front of him with a blank and innocent expression.  everything.

    After the warthog¡¯s head was pulled away, the movie on the wall immediately switched to another scene similar to a fast-forward shot:

    A group of men, women, old men and babies dressed in animal skins lined up in a long line, winding down from the mountains, wading through rivers and crossing ravines, holding sticks inlaid with sharp stones and carrying fur bags on their backs.  , pulling pigs with bristle and quite tall sheep, walking downstream along a rapid river Every night, people gather and sit together, listening to a man in yellow with pious eyes.  The person in the robe was giving a lecture. The person speaking was slightly tall. The robe reached the floor and his feet were not visible. The top of the robe was a round one-piece hat. Only two holes were left on the hat for the eyes, and gold was revealed in the holes.  Although the entire head is wrapped in yellow light, you can vaguely see the head inside glowing with light, and this light spreads out faintly, faintly covering the heads of the people sitting on the ground

    This scene was repeated over and over again, so much the same that it made Qi Lin feel suffocated.  Finally, after repeating it several times, people finally stopped and put down the things on their backs and hands. Then they cut down wood, built shacks, moved stones to build cities, and piled earth into altars. It was boring again.  After repeating this plot many times, an ancient city has been built.  Surrounded by a huge crowd, the man in yellow robe held up a long stone slab with both hands and stood in the center of the square in the city. There seemed to be many words on the stone slab, which looked a bit familiar. It seemed that this was clearly

    "Wang Biao! It's Wang Biao!" Yi Meng shouted loudly, pulling everyone's eyes away from the picture on the wall, and then turned to look at Yi Meng.  Mr. Shi squinted his eyes and looked at the stone tablets in the picture a few more times, but the stone slabs had disappeared and switched to orderly urban life and farming and animal husbandry. The people in the picture had kind faces, smiling eyes, full of energy, and equality.  Treat each other, negotiate everything

    Qilin feels a bit like a utopia, a utopian scene in a movie.  But this situation did not last long, and the situation seemed to get worse. They fought for and monopolized prey, planned to rob food, robbed wives and daughters with force, were proud and leering, and were as greedy as a locust sucking blood

    "Damn it, it seems that greed and lust have been around since ancient times. Is this the innate nature of human beings?" Qi Lin became more and more depressed as he looked at it. He simply lowered his head and stopped letting this scene enter his eyes.  But within a minute, he couldn't bear it anymore and turned his attention to the wall again.

    A fierce ancient war is taking place in the picture. A group of people with fair skin, thick hair, and more primitive clothes came roaring in with stone knives and axes. After a fight with people on their backs, howling and struggling, the city was finally breached, and part of the city was destroyed.People are still retreating and fighting, resisting tenaciously, but some are still taking advantage of the opportunity to amass wealth. They are fighting for it. A short fat man would rather have his arm cut off than let go of a gem in his hand, causing blood to splash everywhere.  He fell to the ground, but still struggled to crawl towards the gem in his severed hand. A skinny old man in luxurious clothing was still desperately drinking the last half of a can of goat's milk when the enemy had entered the door to kill

    The picture suddenly disappeared, the sapphire skeleton seemed to have closed its eyes, and the empty Yin Yang Crystal Palace was filled with darkness and silence. Everyone looked at each other, not knowing why. At the same time, everyone slowly gathered closer. Qi Lin reached out and pulled out the dog-leg knife, and Yi Meng also stabbed him horizontally.  Holding the body, waiting for the murderous intention to appear after the song ends.

    Half a minute later, the switch of the skeleton projector was turned on again, and a blur of shadows appeared on the wall. Then, the man in yellow robe appeared again, standing in the middle of the forest of steles that Yi Meng called Wang Biao, looking up at the sky, feeling lonely and withered.  Then he slowly took out a square seal from his fat yellow robe, stamped it on the king's watch, and then took it off.  Then like an invisible man, he disappeared out of thin air!  The pictures are frozen at the same time and no longer change.

    After this puzzling disappearance and incomprehensible behavior, the Yin Yang Crystal Palace suddenly felt a cold wind blowing, and it was biting and cold. Everyone's nerves were as tense as a fully stretched bowstring, and their bodies were so stiff that they trembled slightly.

    However, surprisingly, nothing happened.

    Qi Lin tried his best to exhale the breath he had been holding for a long time, and turned his gaze to the frozen picture.

    And two big yellow characters appeared on the stone tablet full of characters, and suddenly they were the two characters on the sapphire skull!

    Qi Lin turned his head and opened his mouth to Yi Meng, but did not say even a single word!

    Yi Meng also looked at Qi Lin blankly.

    "I understand! These two words are greed!"

    After Yi Meng said this sentence with a mechanical expressionless face, she remained silent and used the index finger of her right hand to write the two words on the skull's forehead over and over again in the palm of her left hand: Greed!
