The Mummy Extra: Tomb Raiders Alliance 11
"Shouldn't the mermaid ointment from the Mausoleum of the First Emperor be whale brain oil?" Chen Yulou rubbed the mermaid ointment on his body. It was clear and delicate like lamb oil. The lingering fragrance of the oil is insoluble in water, but unlike all oils, the mermaid oil sinks underwater and burns in the water. Please search () to see the most complete! fastest updated
The partridge whistle also dipped a drop of mermaid ointment and observed it on the fingertips: ""The History of Foreign Objects" contains: "The mermaid looks like a human, and it is more than a foot long. It is unbearable. The skin is good for mackerel (that is, sharks), and the wooden man is sawn wood. There are small clothes in the neck. , the gas comes out. Qin Shihuang's tomb uses mermaid ointment as a candle, that is, this fish. It comes out of the East China Sea, and it is found in Taizhou today." "Taiping Yulan" quoted "San Qin Ji": "The tomb of Shihuang... burns whale ointment as a lamp .' All imply that the mermaid should be a whale floating in the ocean today, the size of the whale is huge, and the ointment of a whale can burn for 20 years, which is also in line with the record of "The Immortal" in the historical records."
Chen Yulou said with emotion: "I didn't think that what was recorded by the predecessors is indeed true. I have not a hundred tombs, but dozens of them. Except for the ancient tombs that have been obtained by the predecessors, I have seen them in some strange tombs. Some unbelievable phenomena. My father once told me that when he was exploring a tomb in the South China Sea, he once saw the seabed fire soaring into the sky, illuminating the seabed for thousands of miles."
"There are four kinds of fire in the world, which are ghost fire, sky fire, human fire and dragon fire. Human fire is extinguished when it meets water, but dragon fire is inflamed when it meets water. It is said that the lamp of shark oil in the dragon palace under the sea illuminates the cave. It is called 'Dragon Fire'. I originally thought that the so-called 'Dragon Fire' was a manifestation of the fire in the seabed Fengshui veins, and it was a kind of seabed Fengshui bureau."
"However, judging from the discovery of the Mausoleum of the First Emperor today, there really is such a thing as the ointment of the mermaid, and its characteristics of blazing when exposed to water, unable to be blown by the wind, and indestructible without oxygen are in line with the legend of the dragon fire in the sea country."
"Perhaps the legend of King Zhou's Kingdom of Return to Ruins is not false. We have records from the lineage of Xiling Lishi. In the country of Return to Ruins, there is the Hentian Clan, who holds the secret of dragon fire and casts exquisite bronzes. According to the records of Return to Ruins at the end of the East China Sea Perhaps the dragon fire is a kind of flame that can be burned on the seabed created by the Hentian family who mixed the ointment of the shark with the oil and gas on the seabed. This kind of flame is effective in smelting bronze wares. tripod."
"The first emperor unified the six kingdoms and made the world rich. Legend has it that he often sent people out to sea to find fairy mountains. At that time, it was not far from the Spring and Autumn and Warring States. There were many different things in the world. Dragons feed dragons, and the Country of Return to the Ruins has not become a legend either. Presumably, the envoys of the First Emperor found the legendary dragon fire in the Country of Return to the Ruins and offered it to Shi Huang."
"However, judging from the performance of the mermaid ointment we met today, the temperature of the dragon fire that the mermaid ointment burns is not too high. Although the Hentian clan can use the mermaid ointment mixed with seabed oil and gas to support the combustion, the temperature must not be very high, so return to the country of ruins. Being able to cast exquisite bronzes, but unable to smelt steel, did not have much effect on the iron ware civilization that had already been developed in the Qin Dynasty. It could only add icing on the cake to the bronze casting level that had already reached its peak at that time. That's why Shi Huang put Use these dragon fire and mermaid ointment to light up as the ever-burning lamp in your own mausoleum."
Laura heard the speculation of the two, and guessed with her own knowledge: "In England, the iron and steel foundry has mastered the secret of oxidizers. The combustion of flames requires oxygen, but the chemical reactions of many oxidants can provide oxygen to the flames, making A flame that does not require oxygen, since mermaid ointment can burn underwater, it may naturally contain oxidizing ingredients."
"On the other hand, the legend of mermaids in our country has records that eating them can lead to longevity. In the early days, mermaids were 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 Galle Sea Islands that hid The Fountain of Youth is the eternal fountain of youth. The Fountain of Youth is guarded by mermaids, who confuse the sailors with singing and then eat them. The Fountain of Youth must be medicined with the sincere tears of the mermaid to exert its magical effect of immortality. But I am in the Sea of Galle, The archaeological process of one of the treasures of then pirate king Edward Tee has revealed that the legendary Fountain of Youth may very well be the mermaid itself."
"The pirates hunted the merman and ate their flesh to keep their youth! In order to hide this viciousness, they called the oil and meat of the merman the 'fountain of youth'."
"So..." Laura speculated: "Mermaids may naturally contain oxidants and antioxidants. Oxidants help them obtain oxygen by producing oxygen and synthesizing oxidants when they are low in oxygen. Antioxidants are to avoid producing oxygen in their bodies. The process of malignant oxidation of cells and loss of lifespan."
"This kind of creature should have the ability to survive in a harsh environment with a shortened lifespan. When oxygen and food are abundant, it has the ability to live a long life and resist aging. But also because of this, they contain oxidants and antioxidants in their bodies, and they become your bright hunting refining The 'Dragon Fire', which can burn in water and is stable in oxidation, is the raw material for refining the 'Fountain of Youth' that can keep youth forever, and has been hunted and killed in large numbers."
Chen Yulou and Partridge Whistle looked at each other, and smiled wryly at each other. The red girl seemed to sympathize with these mermaids who were slaughtered because of their uniqueness, and sneered, "What a coincidence, there are also records in China that mermaids are not old when they eat meat. The dignitaries want to eat a mouthful of mermaid flesh alive!"
Laura was stunned, and then sighed: "These beautiful creatures must be extinct because of this!"
At this time, Chen Yulou suddenly changed his expression and said: "Not good!"
Laura was taken aback by him, and asked, "What happened!"
Chen Yulou looked up at the ever-burning lamps that spread forward like sparks on both sides of the long tomb passage, and asked dryly: "Since eating mermaid meat can lead to longevity, does Emperor Shihuang, who has always pursued immortality, know about this legend?" ?"
Mo Le opened his mouth and laughed, "Impossible, even if Emperor Shi didn't know, those alchemists around him would tell him!"
"Then why did he use these mermaid creams to light the everlasting lamps instead of taking them to make his life longer?" Chen Yulou's face was solemn: "Is the everlasting lamps here really just for lighting?"
Partridge Whistle immediately fumbled on both sides of the tomb, and explained at the same time: "The Changmind has a very special status in Fengshui. When we touch Jin Xiaowei's vein, we will light a lamp at the northwest corner of the tomb when we are fighting. To penetrate yin and yang, guide ghostly things, and communicate with the two worlds, in general large tombs, the ever-burning lamps on both sides of the tomb passage are used to guide the tomb owner to ascend or to return to the soul."
Partridge Whistle was talking and suddenly froze. He touched down along the lamp of the bronze lamp. A bronze lamp pole in the shape of a tree was deeply embedded in the wall. At this time, everyone knew that the lamps on both sides were on the other It's weird.
