Chapter 637: How is it possible?
He used Haizhu to discover that kind of existence for the first time, the upper body resembles a human, especially the face, which is completely a human face, the body is slender, and the hands are not quite the same as those of a human. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Moreover, the lower body is not the legendary fishtail, but rather a rather strange shape, and the skin of the lower body has scales.
Seeing this shape of underwater creature, Wei Hang immediately thought of the merman, that is, the legendary mermaid.
In Chinese legend, mermaids are so good that they can't make a sound. The mermaid is evil and can sing charmingly.
The ointment of the mermaid in the sea not only has a very low ignition point, but also can burn for months without extinguishing as long as a drop.
In ancient times, there were nobles in the tombs with their grease as a lantern for ten thousand years, and the shark people of the East China Sea were the most obscene and bloodthirsty, and they all lived under an island formed by dead coral in the sea, and the coral cave under the island, the caves crisscrossed and criss-crossed, and it was unknowable that there was the old nest of the mermaid.
They let out a sound in the nearby seas, attracting passing sea ships and merchants, and the victims were all eaten to the bones, and they caught a live black-scaled merman, slaughtered it to dry, poured its ointment, and made a long candle worth 3,000 baht.
Both China and foreign countries have recorded the existence of humanoids on the seabed. It's just that there is no clear evidence.
Wei Hang observed that those sharks were not beautiful, and they were a little ugly, and he knew that they were not easy to mess with.
"Do you know the merman?" Wei Hang said.
Chen Jianliang opened his mouth and said: "The merman has this record. In ancient China, some people used the fat of the merman to make the so-called everlasting lamp. ā
"It is better to believe in this than to believe in the existence of savages. Muzi and the others said.
Indeed, wild people are often sighted. What a merman, it seems that there is such a thing, but the human beings who live at the bottom of the sea, no matter how you think about it, it feels a bit anti-scientific!
The savage is a higher primate that has not been confirmed. Legends and stories about wild men are often found in folklore and entertainment magazines, and there are stories of wild men in China and abroad, such as the legend of Shennong Jia Wild Man, the "Bigfoot" in North America, and the "Yeti" in Western Tibet, China.
According to legend, the savages are tall and agile, traversing mountains and mountains as if walking on flat ground, possessing a certain amount of "intelligence", and some can marry humans and give birth.
But to date, there is no credible evidence of its existence, and the evidence is mostly seen in "sightings".
"Is there a merman, don't you know best if you ask him?" Chen Jianliang pointed at Gu Haichao and said.
Gu Haichao is a professional marine biology research expert, and he has the most right to speak if there is a merman or not.
Gu Haichao saw everyone looking over, and also smiled bitterly: "According to legend, there seems to be such an existence. But like the savages you are talking about, the mermen have no evidence of their existence. ā
"Isn't the oil of the ever-bright lamp proof?" someone asked.
Gu Haichao was speechless, and after a while, he smiled bitterly: "How do you know that it is the fat of the merman?"
The Chinese have a tradition of treating death as life, and the mausoleum after death is also correspondingly called the Yin House, and the king attaches great importance to the mausoleum, as a residence after death, they also hope to be as bright as the palace before death, so there is a permanent lamp.
There are tomb robbers all over the world, who go to the tombs to steal gold, silver and jewels that have been buried for thousands of years, and the tombs are often isolated from the world, so that the treasures have been preserved quite well for thousands of years. In this ancient tomb that does not see the light of day all year round, tomb robbers usually think that they should not be able to reach out and lose their fingers. Sometimes, however, they were horrified to find that on the vaults of some tombs, a bright lamp cast a faint light.
"Moreover, hasn't someone unlocked the secret of the ever-bright lantern?" Gu Haichao spread his hands.
In the excavation of Dingling in the capital, there is a celadon vat in the main hall of the mausoleum, which contains wax lamp oil and a wick, which is the ever-bright lamp. But apparently the lamp went out not long after the mausoleum was closed, due to the lack of oxygen needed for combustion in the closed mausoleum.
"The ever-bright lamp is not so simple, and the so-called oxygen is often just a reason for some people to hide their ignorance. Once, someone saw the light on as soon as they went in, instead of waiting for the oxygen to turn on. Chen Jianliang insisted on his own ideas.
Because he once read a foreign history book, which said that more than 500 years ago, Syria was under the rule of the Eastern Roman Empire, and the Eastern Roman soldiers in Syria at that time found that in a pass alcove there was a lamp lit, and the lamp was covered by an elaborate cover, which seemed to be used to block the wind.
According to the inscriptions found at the time, the lamp was lit in 27 AD. When the soldiers discovered it, the lamp had been burning for 500 years! Unfortunately, the savage soldiers quickly destroyed it, and the mechanism of this mysterious lamp is no longer known.
"How can a man live at the bottom of the sea? Anyone with a little bit of a mind won't believe it. Qian Wenji said very rationally.
Sometimes, legends are legends and can't be taken seriously.
"Not necessarily, aren't there water monkeys?" someone said suddenly.
Water monkeys, creatures that live in water, resemble apes. Water monkeys are commonly known as "water ghosts" in folklore, but they are also called "water lion ghosts", "water ghouls", "falling ghouls", etc., and are called "kappa" in Japan.
They generally live in the water, but sometimes they go ashore, and are mostly found in wild water sources such as mountain ponds and reservoirs.
Water monkeys are very water-based, and their limbs are weak after ten minutes out of the water. In the water, the water monkey is several times more powerful than humans, so if it is held in the water, it is life-threatening.
"That thing, it doesn't seem to have been confirmed, right?" Qian Wenji rolled his eyes.
"Confirmation is not confirmed, but the water monkey seems to be real. Gu Haichao said something fair.
There are too many folk rumors about water monkeys, and there is still a big difference between rumors and legends, and they are often not groundless. Some of them have been encountered by experts, but they have not caught the real thing.
"Wait, they seem to be here. Suddenly, Yun Rulong, who was holding a telescope, said.
"Who's coming?" Chen Jianliang and the others were stunned.
"Who else? Didn't you just say the shark people? I think I saw it. ā
"I'll take a look, is this the direction?" Chen Jianliang and the others hurriedly snatched the telescope.
Gu Haichao hurriedly asked people to take out their goggles, and when they looked over, they really found that the human-like sea creatures, like dolphins, jumped out of the water from time to time, a little like they were very excited.
"How is that possible?" exclaimed.
