Chapter 585
Zhou Xiru smiled inappropriately and said, "Old man Wang, just be cowardly, tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk... You were actually scared by a suspected coffin."
"In the future, don't say you are an archaeology professor."
"No, this time I go back, I will post a Weibo post... I still have a lot of fans on Weibo."
"Kyoto University's archaeology professor doesn't count if he can't tell the trunk of the coffin, he's still scared."
Professor Wang shook his head and said, "Professor is not as knowledgeable as a fool."
As he said that, he took out the magnifying glass and flashlight...
Just as he was leaning on the dead tree trunk and preparing to check it carefully, everyone heard a melodious sound again, like a moaning sound.
This time, everyone could hear it clearly.
"Aru?" Xu Zhiyi whispered, "It seems to be coming from a coffin."
If the dead tree trunk is hollow and there is a corpse buried, it will naturally be a coffin, not a trunk.
"It's so simple. I think I'm a poor man, and there's no money." Professor Wang stood up and was not ready to study it, and said, "Young Master Xu, come on, come on, give it a knife?"
Xu Zhizhi was stunned and asked, "Professor, what the hell?"
"Can you chop firewood?" Professor Wang said, "Cut it open?"
"No!" Zhou Xiru said directly without waiting for Xu Zhizhi to speak, "Don't do it!"
Professor Wang was a little confused and asked, "Aru, what do you mean? Don't we open the coffin? Are you not curious?"
"I'm a little curious, but as the young master of the Yinghuo Dynasty, I will never do the thing about chopping firewood, you can do it." Zhou Xiru said with a serene expression.
He Seng smiled and said, "Female Bodhisattva, next time there is such a thing, remember to say that you are the eldest lady of the Zhou family consortium, and you don't do such rough work."
"Open it seriously, take a look." Professor Wang said.
Si Nan had already taken out the tools, Zhao Si, Qiu Feicheng and others helped, found a fulcrum and directly destroyed it with brute force.
The "dead trunk" has become so decayed that it is soon pried apart by them.
Inside, there were things like fish scales, with a rotten fishy smell.
"It's really a coffin?" Professor Wang frowned slightly.
The middle of the "trunk" is hollowed out, and there are objects inside, which naturally means that this is a coffin.
"Pry it open and see." Xu Zhizhi said.
"Well..." Zhao Si agreed, and soon, the coffin lid was pried open. Inside, there were some things that looked like scales, and some silver-white bugs. Now the coffin lid was opened and began to crawl outward.
Xu Zhiyan took out some medicine powder and sprinkled it around.
After the insects come into contact with the powder, they keep retreating.
"Mr. Xu, what medicine is this?" He Seng asked curiously.
"Deworming!" Xu Zhizhi smiled and said, "There are poisonous insects everywhere in the tropical rainforest. You all remind me that I need to bring deworming medicine."
"It looks very useful." He Seng said.
"Hey, hey..." Si Nan suddenly said, "Young Master, look... something is moving under the scales."
"Professor, what scale is this?" Zhou Xiru asked in a deep voice.
"Human skin..." Professor Wang said with a calm face, "It is the dander shed from humans."
"Can the dander shed on humans grow like this?" Zhou Xiru shook her head and smiled, "Old man, I read a lot, don't lie to me."
"Aru, when people live, they are all kinds of good things, but when they die, they are still buried in certain specific places. In other words, your body has been specially treated. If you die, but other cells on your body are still alive, they will shed some dandruff." Professor Wang said, "As time of age, they shed layer by layer, just like now."
"The bacteria on your body nourish the insects, or the outside world erode the coffin, and then parasitize on your corpse, forming a symbiotic relationship with the corpse."
Zhou Xiru was disgusted and said, "Old Man Wang, just say it, what example are you using me to give?"
Just as they were talking, a dry hand was trembling from the scales of the coffin.
"Already alive?" He Seng was shocked and inexplicably.
Xu Zhizhi and Zhou Xiru couldn't help but retreat slightly, and Professor Wang also retreated a little.
"Professor?" He Seng clasped his hands together and said, "This...this..."
He wanted to ask Professor Wang, but when he said that, he didn't know what he should say.
"He is dead," said Professor Wang. "Now, it is just a walking corpse without any consciousness."
"And, it will die soon!"
He Seng, He Qiang, Zhao Si and others were all shocked.
Xu Zhizhi studied medicine and knew a little.
Zhou Xiru was so nervous that he just regarded it as a strange thing and didn't care at all.
Even she was already considering that when the body in the coffin crawled out, she would study and see if there were any burial objects in the coffin and whether they were worth it?
This place is not considered the territory of Lao Burmese, and I don’t know which era of culture and civilization belongs to?
Is the unearthed objects of research valuable?
"Xu Zhizhi, do you want to extract its DNA?" Zhou Xiru asked in a low voice, "His Royal Highness Alice should be interested?"
Xu Zhizhi shook his head slightly and said, "It's dirty."
Finally, the ancient corpse in the coffin tried hard to get up and leave the coffin.
However, it seemed that it could not struggle, or in other words, its movement was very laborious, and it wanted to struggle desperately, but it just twisted and moved...
Zhou Xiru looked at the flashlight. This ancient corpse should be a woman. Her hair had fallen out, her body had dried flesh and blood, and her nails were very long. It should have grown a lot after burial.
"Professor, it has no phototaxis." Zhou Xiru said.
"If there is phototaxis, it means that it has consciousness!" Professor Wang smiled, "Didn't you listen to me just now?"
"What did you say?" He Seng's heart was ups and downs.
"Mr. He, driving it to move is that the remaining cells are still alive, which does not mean that he is still alive." Professor Wang smiled, "Of course, there is a certain reason for the cells that can survive for so long."
As he said that, he looked at Zhou Xiru with malicious intentions.
Zhou Xiru was seen for no reason by him and asked, "Old Man Wang, are you going to say I am a fool again?"
"Well... Maybe this person has also practiced the pre-Qin Qi training technique?" Professor Wang laughed, "or rather, he also has the genetic genes of Queen Mother of the West, so after death, he peeled off layer by layer to keep his vitality?"
Zhou Xiru was so angry that she pulled out a military machete from Xu Zhiyi's backpack, slashed at the body in the coffin, and cursed: "You are half-death and you are still implicated in me? Can't you die completely?"
Beheaded with one knife, it was straightforward and neat.
