Chapter 709

"Shouldn't the mermaid cream in the first imperial mausoleum be whale naphtha?" Chen yuliou twisted the mermaid cream on his face. It was as clear and delicate as lamb oil. When he came to his nose to smell it, there was a long-lasting fragrance of oil, which was insoluble in water, but unlike all oils, mermaid oil sank under the water and burned in the water.

The partridge whistle was also stained with a drop of mermaid cream and observed on its fingertips: "the records of foreign bodies states:" mermaids are like human beings, more than a foot long. They are inedible. They are sharp in skin, like shark (that is, shark) and sawn wood man. There are small clothes on their necks, from which Qi comes out. The mermaid cream is used as a candle in the tomb of the first emperor of Qin Dynasty, that is, this fish. It comes out of the East China Sea and is now found in Taizhou. " "The tomb of the first emperor... Burns whale paste as a lamp." all suggest that the mermaid should be the whale floating on the ocean today. The whale is huge. The ointment of a whale can burn for 20 years, which is also in line with the historical record of "the immortal lasts for a long time."

Chen Yulou sighed: "I didn't think it was true. I've been in the big tomb for not a hundred, but also dozens. Apart from the ancient tombs that have been succeeded by my predecessors, I've seen some incredible phenomena in some strange tombs. My father once told me that when he explored a big tomb in the South China Sea, he had seen the flames on the sea floor, illuminating the sea bed for thousands of miles."

"There are four kinds of fire in the world. They are ghost fire, sky fire, human fire and dragon fire. Human fire extinguishes when it meets water, but Dragon Fire glows when it meets water. It is said that the submarine Dragon Palace burns a shark oil lamp and shines through the cave. It is called 'Dragon Fire'. I thought the so-called 'Dragon Fire' was a manifestation of the fire trend of the underwater Feng Shui Qi vein, and it was a kind of underwater Feng Shui strange situation."

"However, from the discovery of the imperial mausoleum at the beginning of today, it seems that there is such a thing as Mermaid ointment, and its characteristics of burning in water, not moving in the wind and not extinguishing without oxygen are more in line with the legend of dragon fire in the sea country."

"Perhaps the legend of King Zhou's return to the ruins is not false. It is recorded in the history of our unloading Lishi that the state of return to the ruins, Hentian family, holds the secret of dragon fire and casts exquisite bronzes. According to the records of Guixu at the end of the East China Sea, maybe dragon fire is a kind of flame that can burn on the seabed made by Hentian family with mackerel's ointment mixed in the oil and gas on the seabed. This flame is smelting The king of Zhou wanted to use his fire to make a tripod. "

"The first emperor unified the six countries and was rich in the world. It is said that he often sent people to sea to look for Xianshan. At that time, not far from the spring and Autumn period and the Warring States period, there were many strange things between heaven and earth. Confucius Saw Lin, the king of Chu received Phoenix, the king of Qin raised dragons and fed dragons, and the country returning to the ruins did not become a legend. It must be that the messenger of the first emperor found the legendary dragon fire in the country returning to the ruins and offered it to the first emperor."

"However, according to the performance of the mermaid paste we met today, the dragon fire burned by the mermaid paste did not have too high temperature. Although Hentian could use the mermaid paste to mix the oil and gas on the sea floor to support the combustion, the temperature must not be very high. Therefore, Guixu country could forge exquisite bronze ware, but could not smelt steel and iron. It did not play a great role in the iron civilization developed in the Qin Dynasty. It could only be used at that time After reaching the peak level of bronze casting, it was icing on the cake. That's why the first emperor used these dragon fire and Mermaid ointment to light the Changming lamps in his mausoleum. "

Laura heard their speculation and guessed with her own insight: "in Britain, steel foundry has mastered the secret of oxidant. The combustion of flame needs oxygen, but the chemical reaction of many oxidants can provide oxygen to the flame and create a flame that does not need oxygen. Since Mermaid ointment can burn underwater, it may contain oxidant naturally."

"On the other hand, in the legend of our country, mermaids can live forever by eating. The early mermaid was a very evil creature in the mouth of sailors. In the legend of the sea in the 16th century, there was an island in the Caribbean islands with an eternal fountain of youth. The fountain of youth was guarded by mermaids, confused sailors with songs, and then ate them. The fountain of youth must be preserved Only when the mermaid's sincere tears are used as medicine can its magical effect of immortality be brought into play. However, during the archaeological process in the Caribbean, I found that the legendary fountain of immortality may be the mermaid itself. "

"Pirates hunt mermaids and eat their meat to keep them young! In order to cover up this malignancy, they call mermaids' oil and meat 'fountain of youth'."

"So..." Laura speculated: "mermaids may naturally contain oxidants and antioxidants. Oxidants help them obtain oxygen by preparing oxygen and synthesizing oxidants when they are low in oxygen. Antioxidants are to avoid malignant oxidation and loss of life in the process of preparing oxygen in their bodies."

"These creatures should have the ability to shorten their life span and resist aging when they are rich in oxygen and food. However, they contain oxidants and antioxidants, which become the raw materials for your civilization to hunt and refine 'Dragon Fire' that can burn in water and oxidize stably, and for our civilization to refine 'fountain of youth' It is expected that it will be hunted and killed in a large number. "

Chen Yulou and zhegushao looked at each other and smiled bitterly. The red girl seemed to sympathize with these mermaids who were slaughtered because of their own particularity. She sneered and said, "it's a coincidence that there are records of the immortality of mackerel meat in China. Countless dignitaries and dignitaries want to eat a bite of mackerel meat alive!"

Laura was stunned and then sighed, "these beautiful creatures must have been extinct because of this!"

At this time, Chen Yulou suddenly turned pale and said, "no!"

Laura was startled by him and asked, "what happened!"

Chen Yulou looked up at the long bright lights spreading forward on both sides of the long tomb path like sparks, and asked dryly: "since the flesh of mermaid can live forever, can the first emperor who has been pursuing immortality not know this legend?"

Moller opened his mouth and said with a smile, "it's impossible. Even if the first Emperor didn't know, the alchemists around him would tell him!"

"Then why did he use these Mermaid creams to light the Changming lamp instead of taking them to make his life longer?" Chen Yulou said solemnly: "is the Changming lamp here really just for lighting?"

The partridge whistle immediately groped like both sides of the tomb path and explained: "The Changming lamp plays a very special role in Feng Shui. We touch the pulse of Jin Xiaowei. When we fall, we will light a lamp at the northwest corner of the tomb, because the lamp shines through Yin and Yang, guides the things of the nether world, and can communicate between the two worlds. In general tombs, the Changming lamps on both sides of the tomb path play a role in guiding the tomb owner to rise or return his soul."

The partridge whistle was suddenly stunned. He felt down the bronze lamp. A wooden bronze lamp pole was deeply embedded in the wall. At this time, everyone knew that the long-term lights on both sides were strange.
