It's just a skull.

Where did the eyes come from? !

But when we looked in the direction of Xiaozhu's finger, we found that the third skull on the left hand side was indeed moving near a pair of eyes.

Hao An shouted: "Get out of the way!"

We immediately moved out of the way.

A pair of black bugs, like maggots, with white eyes emerged from the skull's eyes, which was extremely disgusting.

All of a sudden!

Two maggots immediately jumped up from the ground and ran towards Xia Xi, who was closest.

Seeing that Xia Xi had no choice but to hide.

"Hula".

Hao An took action with the lure rod in his hand. He didn't know how he did it. The line of the lure rod collapsed straight when he swung it, directly cutting off the two insects. The insects sprayed out two jets of dark green. The liquid fell to the ground, broke into four pieces, squirmed twice, and then stopped moving. It was completely dead.

Turning around to look at Hao An.

There were beads of sweat on his forehead and he looked very nervous.

You can tell from his expression that this thing is not a good thing.

Everyone quickly took a few steps back.

I asked: "Boss Hao, what is that?"

Hao An replied: "I don't know the details, but bugs with this kind of appearance usually have strong toxins, and they will die if they are bitten."

Xia Xi swallowed and asked, "Is it that serious?"

Hao An didn't say anything. He picked up the broom that Lu Senyin and Xiaozhu had brought from the grass and vines. There were some small flightless moths and flies on it. He pinched the moths and flies and threw them directly to the strange insects just now. In the juice, the small moths and flies that were still moving were instantly transformed into nothing.

We were stunned.

Never dare to step forward again.

Hao An took out a jar of medicine from the Jiubao package, sprinkled it on the four heads, and said to us: "If you want to study it, study it quickly. After reading it, cover it with soil again, and you can't dig anymore."

We hurried over.

Observe the four heads carefully.

The head had a hole at the top of the skull, the size of a bird egg, but nothing else was found.

Everyone put the skull back, buried it with soil again, and immediately turned around and left.

on the way.

I deeply regretted my previous decision to agree to Xia Xi and President Liu’s study of why not a blade of grass grew, and said to them: “From now on, unless it involves life and death, I will not touch anything on the road again!”

Xia Xi looked like a dead pig not afraid of boiling water: "Su Zi, you still don't go to the grave very often, you are too nervous. Even if you don't study things in the wild, you will easily fall to death if you hit a pit."

"Either you don't come, let's just lie down at home and watch TV. Now that we're here, keep your head firmly in your belt, don't think too much, just get on with it and leave early!"

"Besides, our digging just now wasn't in vain. We figured out at least two things."

I asked: "What two points?" Xia Xi said: "First, the skull is dark, indicating that it has been burned, which once again proves our previous inference that this area is a large burning pit. Second, the skull's There was a hole in the top, proving they suffered some kind of head torture before dying."

President Liu shook his head: "Brother Xia, your second point of view is wrong."

"They were not subjected to head torture, but all underwent craniotomy."

We were a little confused by Chairman Liu’s incredible views.

Tribal ancients performed craniotomy?

Seeing our surprise, Chairman Liu explained: "If they were tortured, the holes on their heads should be irregular, and there would be cobweb cracks around the skulls, but if you recall carefully, what are the holes on their skulls like? ?”

No one said a word.

Because the holes are indeed very smooth and regular, and there are no spider web-like cracks.

President Liu continued: "I have said before that traditional Chinese medicine has high-precision surgeries, and this has been proven by history. The Guangrao Bojia ruins in Shandong Province and the 'Banshan-Machang' ruins in Qingdao Province are all Skulls of ancestors who underwent craniotomy four to five thousand years ago have been unearthed.”

"Judging from the traces of holes, these people must have had a craniotomy, and there were signs of healing. It is estimated that they survived for a long time after the operation, and were then burned. As for whether the burning was done before or after death, That’s unknown.”

Lu Cenyin asked: "Brother Liu, I believe this."

"But I have a question, why are there so many people with holes in their skulls buried here?"

I'm also wondering about this.

Normally, it is very rare to find a skull that was opened thousands of years ago, but four of them appeared here at once, and I feel that if I keep digging, there will definitely be more.

President Liu was stunned when he was asked: "This... is really beyond my expectation."

Lu Cenyin continued: "Skull surgery is a major operation between life and death. Let alone the ancient times thousands of years ago, the proportion of surgeries among patients is not very high now. This area is obviously a I think there are only two reasons why an ancient tribe burned ruins, but a large number of skulls were found. One is that this ancient tribe had the custom of having everyone’s skull opened, and the other is that the people who were craniated actually belong to a specific group.”

"Looking through all the classics in history, we have never found a tribe that adopted craniotomy as a custom. This can only mean that they are actually a special group."

Based on the analysis of several of them.

I thought about it seriously, and an idea came to my mind.

"They are all wizards who have opened their eyes!"

Upon hearing this.

Everyone was stunned.

I pondered my thoughts and explained: "There are three reasons. First, according to Old Liu's dating, the remains of shaman culture belong to the Xia Dynasty and even before that. A distinctive feature of that era was eye worship. The oracle bones with the character Xia are like a worm or a dragon. , chasing the sun with a big eye on his head. According to research, the so-called open eye originally meant not to open on the forehead, but on the top of the head."

"Secondly, wizards are believed to be able to communicate with heaven and earth, see changes in the universe, and their eyes have abilities that ordinary people do not have. Therefore, wizards were kings in the tribal period, and the two characters "chen" and "min" in oracle bone inscriptions are pictograms without eyeballs or The eyes were poked blind. In ancient and modern times, many shamans at home and abroad have opened skull holes to communicate with the spirit of the gods. There is a lot of data to support this matter."

"Third, the front is the burning pit of the twelve ancestral witches culture. Here again, there are skulls. There must be an inseparable connection between the two. The ancients burned the totems of the ancestral witches, and then burned the shamans who opened the eyes of the sky to bury them. , reasonable and reasonable.”

Xia Xi laughed and said, "Damn it! Su Zi, you are really a heifer doing handstands, and you are like a cow!"

I just wanted to take this opportunity to install it.

who knows.

Xiaozhu tugged on my clothes again: "Brother, a lot of bugs are coming." (End of this chapter)
