193. Chapter 193 01 The Mystery of Sleeping Beauty [1]
Since Ning Ling woke up from a coma, she would wake up in dreams one by one every night, but after waking up, she could not remember the scene in the dream at all. There was only a tall figure and an obsidian-like pair of eyes circling in her mind. Her eyes were full of longing, sadness, affection and a heartbreaking despair.
What is going on? Who is the master of those eyes? Why is he so sad and desperate? Why does that kind of sad and despair infected her and make her feel lingering sorrow filled with her heart after she woke up? She tried hard to see clearly the appearance of the master of her eyes, but she couldn't see clearly no matter what. She could only judge his gender from the other person's body shape.
Just when Ning Ling was puzzled, a classmate in high school sent her an email saying that her classmate studied history in college, specializing in the history and culture of the Khitans, a minority who had existed in Chinese history for more than 200 years but suddenly disappeared.
The classmate told her in an email that a few months ago, a group of travelers who went to climb the mountain outside the pass found a crystal coffin in a cave. There was a woman lying in the coffin. The woman was actually wearing clothes from the Liao Dynasty. She thought it was a prank, but after unanimous identification by several experts from the National Academy of History, it was confirmed that this was indeed the body of an ancient woman, and her death should have been in the Northern Song Dynasty more than a thousand years ago.
What's even more bizarre is that although she was a person who had been dead for thousands of years, her appearance was still as bright as a living, as if she was just sleeping, completely unlike the ancient corpse found in other tombs. Her body's moisture had long dried up and withered, and even her appearance had to be restored by a computer.
Apart from the crystal coffin and the woman's clothing, there is nothing that can prove her identity. The most important thing is that her face can remain unchanged for thousands of years, just like the real reappearance of the "Sleeping Beauty" in a fairy tale.
Until now, the National Academy of History and Sciences has not been able to study the mystery of the immortality of a woman's body, mainly because no one can open the crystal coffin. In order to prevent damage to the female corpse, they did not dare to use tough methods to open the coffin, and naturally they could not study the immortal mystery of a woman's body.
And the reason why he sent this email to Ning Ling was because...
The text ended here abruptly, and the next one was a photo. When she saw the photo, Ning Ling couldn't believe her eyes. The appearance of the woman in the crystal coffin was exactly the same as hers, which made her have an illusion at that moment that the woman in the coffin was herself.
How is that possible?
She shook her head and shook the strange thought away, but looked at the woman in the coffin and couldn't look away. Something flashed quickly in her mind, but she couldn't catch it.
A strong intuition told her that the woman must be related to her experience in her coma.
She decided to go and see the woman in the coffin in person. Perhaps, she was the only main cause that could unlock what happened during her coma.
Thinking of doing it, she immediately ordered a plane ticket to Beijing. Fortunately, the school is already on summer vacation, so she can take advantage of this holiday to solve this mystery.
************
When Ning Ling appeared at the China Institute of History and Science and Technology, the sensation caused was imaginable. Anyone who had seen the woman in the crystal coffin looked at her with shock. If it weren't for the modern clothes on her body, anyone would have thought that the female corpse had woken up and walked out of the coffin.
When they learned her identity, the experts were quite interested. They believed that the woman in the coffin was probably Ning Ling's ancestor. Unfortunately, they could not open the coffin and could not obtain the DNA of the female corpse for identification for the two.
"Director Zhang, can I see that female corpse?" Ning Ling asked.
"Of course." Dean Zhang took Ning Ling to the courtyard without saying a word. Along the way, many people looked at Ning Ling with incredible eyes. Dean Zhang led Ning Ling into the building and said, "Don't mind, they were just too shocked, because there are probably no one in the world who looks exactly the same except for twins, let alone the two are still thousands of years apart."
Ning Ling nodded, and as Dean Zhang walked into a room, there was a crystal coffin in the middle of the room. The walls around it were covered with various monitors, and even the door could be opened with advanced password fingerprint locks. The coffin was placed with infrared alarms and bulletproof glass, which was enough to show that the value of this corpse was of great importance.
You should know that the existence of such a thousand-year-old female corpse is of great research value to any country. Even the mummy of Egyptian pharaohs is just a mummy that has long been drained from water.
Therefore, compared to the mummy of Egyptian pharaohs, this thousand-year immortal woman seems to be just a sleeping woman, and in order to prevent people with bad intentions from stealing, they have to be vigilant and anti-theft measures.
