I was reborn and returned to the age of three and a half. Did my mother also have a heart transplant

I think this is the glowing stone that Xiaolu mentioned.

But Xiaolu, this unreliable guy, didn't say that the stone appeared next to the corpse.

"Xiaolu, are you still okay?"

Green Vine felt a little aggrieved. As a vine, she didn't know there was a human corpse next to the stone.

This is all dead.

It is neither a plant nor a treasure, and no energy fluctuations can be sensed.

In Green Vine's opinion, it is no different from the worthless gravel and broken stones on the ground.

However, seeing the little cub being frightened, Lu Teng still felt a little distressed and guilty.

He quickly used the tip of his tender bud to gently scratch Pei Zaizai's head.

Pei Zaizai came back to his senses after being frightened. Hearing his mother blaming Aunt Lu, he quickly took the head out and said, "Mom, don't blame Aunt Lu. Aunt Lu doesn't know either."

"It's because I'm too timid. Actually, I'm not that scared. I just wasn't mentally prepared. I thought there would be treasures inside, but I didn't expect it to be a mummy. The first thing I saw was the empty eye sockets, and that's why I got scared."

Pei Zaizai said, and did not forget to add, "Mom, Zaizai is not afraid now, you can open it again."

"No, you are still a cub, you can't look at such disgusting things. Little Baibai, you take the cubs to the cave entrance and wait. Little Green, come down, let's check. I want to see if all the boxes are filled with these things."

Lu Teng also felt as if she had been stabbed in the back by the ebony box, and the image of the reliable and powerful Aunt Lu that she had worked so hard to establish in front of the little cub collapsed.

Xiaolu was also unhappy.

I decided to open and check all the boxes here with Mo Yan.

Mo Yan opened the lid of the box again. This time, she lowered her head and looked at the mummy carefully.

Instead of reaching out his hand directly, he used his supernatural power to uncover the black and gray cloth covering its body.

Even though Mo Yan was very careful, after hundreds of years, the cloth still broke at the slightest movement.

Now the full appearance of the mummy was completely revealed.

Mo Yan took a closer look and was sure that this should be a young girl who was less than 20 years old.

The pelvis has not fully opened.

At first I thought the body looked so thin because it was too shriveled, but it turns out that the body was really young.

"Xiaolu, are these glowing stones the ones you mentioned at the beginning?"

[It seems not. I can't feel the energy of this kind of stone. The glowing stone I mentioned is glowing in my consciousness. It has the kind of warm energy that makes people feel comfortable.]

Xiaolu thought about it and denied it.

"Xiaolu, forget about this stone for now. Tell me which boxes contain glowing stones that make you feel comfortable. Let's open those first."

[No, after entering this cave, I can't seem to feel the energy of those glowing stones.]

Mo Yan: ...

[Really, I don't know what's going on. Maybe this cave is a little weird. If I force myself to sense it, it always seems to be blocked by something, like there's a layer between me and it's inaccessible. Yanyan, don't you think so? ]

Mo Yan used his special ability and passed through smoothly.

"Everything is fine!"

Xiaolu was obviously unhappy after hearing this. [Why is this happening? Are you bullying me because I am a plant? Hate it! I must open all these boxes today. As long as I open them all, those glowing stones will never escape.]

Seeing Xiaolu working hard, he summoned countless vines in succession and began to unlock the doors in batches.

Mo Yan simply didn't stop him.

She had a vague guess in her mind, but now she needed facts to confirm it.

[Alright! All the boxes are opened.]

As Xiaolu finished speaking, the vines directly lifted the lid of the box.

The main focus is to get to the bottom of things.

Mo Yan simply looked at the boxes one by one, starting with the one that was opened first.

She discovered that among the 108 boxes, only 36 boxes contained objects, including the plant seeds she sensed. As for the wooden objects that she thought might be medicinal herbs, they turned out not to be medicinal herbs, but pieces of tree roots.

Let's call it a tree root. It looks like a part cut off from the root system of some huge plant.

There is the essence of wood in it, but it is not active. In other words, these tree roots are of no value other than burning firewood.

However, it was treasured and placed in a box made of thousand-year-old ebony, and the surrounding area of ​​the box was covered with large pieces of emerald green jade.

As soon as Xiaolu saw these bright green and highly transparent jadeites, she shouted that these were the luminous stones she had seen.

Mo Yan really wanted to say that this was jade, not a glowing stone.

But think about it, jade is also grown from stone. For a vine like Xiaolu, she cannot distinguish between stone and jade. There is nothing wrong with calling them both glowing stones.

Mo Yan now understood why the seeds of those plants still had a trace of activity after thousands of years. The credit lies in these highly transparent green jade pieces.

A fully enclosed ebony box, surrounded by jade.

Although I don’t understand the principle, this is indeed how the seeds are preserved.

In total, 36 boxes.

Remove the roots and you get the seeds.

Each box of that size contained only one kind of seed and something that looked like a tree root.

All the remaining boxes were filled with mummies of similar age, both men and women, and all of them should have died before the age of 20, without exception.

So, damn, with such a big cave and so many ebony boxes, I thought it was a treasure trove of a big family or a dynasty.

After all this time, it turns out to be someone else's cemetery?

A graveyard that also contains the graves of children who died as minors?

The earliest one is more than a thousand years old, and the latest one is five or six hundred years old.

No new mummies were sent in after that. It was not known whether the family was completely extinct or there were no new descendants who died prematurely after that.

None of the corpses or boxes revealed any information about their owners or their families.

It's like they are all anonymous people born and raised by nature, and when they die, they are dead.

But Mo Yan just felt that all this was very strange. A healthy child died, and normally the child would either be buried and put to rest, or burned and that was it all over.

How could it have lasted for hundreds of years, with all the corpses put into ebony boxes and piled up in a cave in this deep forest?

What kind of magic operation is this?

And these glowing stones have no energy at all, and Mo Yan can't see what use these stones have at all.

But in each box, apart from the corpse itself, all the empty space is filled with such stones, so they are definitely not useless.

I just don't know what this stone is used for.

Damn it, I was originally trying to play a treasure hunt game with the little cub to make her happy, but now my head is filled with questions instead.

This is really——

Mo Yan couldn't help but feel somewhat unhappy.
