Xu Yi shook his head and said: "I haven't found this either, but there may be a lot of factors that lead to it, just like the pathogenesis of kidney stones has not been figured out yet, this is the result of epidemiological statistics, and the pathogenesis is not expressed in the literature, or it may be a wrong connection, maybe one day it will be removed from the cause of the disease." However, there is a fact that has confirmed that even healthy people eat a large amount of sucrose at a time about two hours after the content of oxalic acid and calcium in the urine has increased significantly. ”

Hu Yifei asked: "When you mentioned stones, I thought of the relics of those so-called monks. Could this thing be kidney stones or gallstones that have not been burned clean? If so, then why wouldn't ordinary people have any?"

Xu Yi smiled, the relics are only found in the ashes of Buddhists after cremation, this thing is a religious element, and naturally it cannot be explained by common sense. Science emphasizes transparency, and religion emphasizes mystery, so if we have to test the composition of this relic, we will inevitably violate the scale of religion, and naturally there will be no in-depth research. "It's hard to say, but whether it's calcium oxalate, calcium phosphate kidney stones or gallstones formed by cholate, in fact, it inevitably contains a lot of organic components, which will inevitably be oxidized during the cremation process, and the remaining things will be relatively loose even if they maintain their original form. Didn't a monk burn out more than 10,000 relics earlier last year, and if this was a stone, wouldn't it grow to the point that it was all over the body?"

Hu Yifei nodded, "That's right, then guess what it is?"

"I think it's more of a thing. What do you say it's like?"

Several people shook their heads, indicating that they did not know.

"I feel like glass. But I can imagine why ordinary people can't see relics. ”

"Does it make a difference?"

"In fact, the state has only been promoting cremation for a few decades. From ancient times to the present, Chinese people have always adopted the method of burial. This is called being in the ground. It can be said that for thousands of years, except for those who died of infectious diseases, there was basically no cremation among the people. ”

"Referring to the more than 10,000 relics that the monk can cremate, this naturally cannot be something that existed when he was alive, and it must have appeared during the cremation process. But so many monks in the past dynasties have been cremated, but there are no relics, so this thing must be relatively rare, and not all of them can be refined. Funerals are different. Naturally, there is a lack of contrast, and there is a difference. Moreover, those who died violently are often buried deep on the spot after cremation to prevent the spread of infectious diseases, so no one will check the ashes, so naturally it is impossible to find out whether there are relics in this. ”

And it is only after the death of a Buddhist monk or practitioner who is close to Buddhism that people take the initiative to look for relics to see if there are any relics left. Coupled with the strict rituals of the cremation process, the relics are easy to be found by those who are looking for them. When cremating deceased relatives, ordinary people do not deliberately and do not have the opportunity to find out whether there is a relic-like substance in the ashes. Relics are a rare phenomenon in themselves, and they can easily be overlooked without looking for them. Therefore. It is not surprising that the occasional relics are more often found in the bones of a few Buddhist monks. ”

Hu Yifei asked again: "But in the past few decades, I haven't heard of any refining relics, so if you don't pay attention to it, you won't find it at all, right?"

Xu Yi laughed: "This has to start with the difference in cremation methods. The cremation of a monk is different from the cremation in a funeral home, and when you watch the TV show, it is all made of wood underneath, and it will be burned for a day or two. As for the large-scale temples, they all use incarnation kilns to burn corpses, and this burning time is even longer. I noticed that there was still a spark when the kiln was opened seven days after the cremation of the monk last year. But the funeral home's incinerator uses diesel. Burn it out in a short time, or that's the root cause why it's hard to see ordinary people producing relics. ”

"Does it make a difference?"

Xu Yi said with a smile: "In fact, whether it is the human body or wood, there is a certain amount of silicon in it. Although it does not account for much of the living plant content, the ash after burning is obviously more silicon, plus there is a large amount of potassium carbonate in the plant ash, and the bones are naturally calcium carbonate and calcium phosphate. What do you say is made of sand and limestone and potassium carbonate?"

Yan Peimin asked, "Cement?"

Hu Yifei shook his head, "Most cement also contains aluminum silicate, but I think it's more like glass." ”

Xu Yi nodded and said, "Yes, this is a kind of hard glass, if this glass is mixed with the metal ions mixed in those ashes, it will naturally take on different colors when it is recrystallized." ”

The fat man said next to him: "The third child is more reliable in his analysis, and I think it's like this, but you still missed a point." ”

Xu Yi turned his head to look at the fat man and asked, "What?"

The fat man said: "Even the plant ash contains silicon, but this amount is relatively small, and it may not be able to react so thoroughly in just a few days." Actually, I think this silicon is more likely to come from somewhere else, of course, it's not like grabbing and sprinkling sand on the corpse, which is a blasphemy against the deceased, and I think the source of this silicon is more likely to be a burial item. You know the so-called Seven Treasures of Buddhism, presumably when this monk passes away, there will be a lot of burial goods. The main ingredient in the Seven Treasures of Buddhism, such as agate, crystal and amber, is silica, which can easily be burned and exploded when it enters the fire. ”

"This is more reliable than your ashes, and listening to you say this, I found that most of those relics who appeared were people who had certain resources, the so-called powerful monks. However, ordinary monks may not be able to produce relics, and it is also related to the number of burial goods they have, and the higher the status of the monks, the more burial goods, and the longer they may even burn them, the more adequate the reaction will naturally be. I also remember that when the monk was cremated last year, there were reports that the temperature in the incarnation kiln could reach 1,600 degrees at its peak, and the temperature of the glass kiln was only about 1,200 degrees, and the temperature of the kiln for burning porcelain was not more than 1,400 degrees. ”

Xu Yi smiled and nodded: "Well, if you have these, it will naturally be more convenient." If that's not the case, then why is there only one piece of jade left for those burial goods? The crematorium incinerates the corpses with diesel, which can be completed in about an hour, and no one will use much with the burial goods, which is naturally not enough to meet the conditions for the reaction, so there is no way to form relics. ”

The fat man sneered: "Speaking of which, a monk dares to walk around the incinerator to see if there are any relics! So the Chinese people are still relatively easy to deceive, in fact, the relics are still used to preach doctrines to deceive believers, what is so strange about this refining glass, modern times have the technology of making diamonds from ashes, this relics are no longer on the table." Really grab the sand and burn it with the turtle king bastard for so long, I'm afraid that I can still burn the relics, do these monks also want to say that this turtle king bastard is a cultivator?"

This sentence made several people laugh, Hu Yifei said with a smile: "This is a bad statement, this turtle king bastard is a soft shell, this inorganic salt content is small, if the turtle king bastard is almost really able to appear relics, if this is the case, I think this is more pious than the vast majority of monks." ”

Liu Liping pursed her lips and protested: "You people have enough to talk about health care products, what kind of relics are you talking about, can you say something less disgusting? If you keep talking, I should have nightmares at night!"

Surprisingly, the fat man really didn't refute Liu Liping this time, and said with a smile: "Okay, let's go on to say that you said collagen, this thing cosmetics are being sold, in fact, it is also sold as a health care product, and this collagen beauty is said to be ancient." ”

Liu Liping asked, "Really?"

The fat man nodded, yes, "You always know such a thing as Ejiao, right?"

"You're not talking nonsense, this is traditional Chinese medicine. ”

"Then do you have any ingredient analysis of ejiao in your course?"

Liu Liping shook her head, they had only learned the preparation and use of Ejiao, and there was really no identification and analysis of Ejiao in the course of analysis and identification of traditional Chinese medicine.

The fat man said: "Ejiao is made of donkey skin and soybean flour, etc., and the raw materials and processing methods determine the composition of the final product. If the daily dietary intake of protein is insufficient, taking Ejiao can naturally achieve the purpose of supplementing human protein, plus it is rich in various metal ions required by the human body, which has a certain nutritional effect, but like what is written in our book to replenish blood and other effects, I am afraid this can only make people shake their heads. After all, there are many causes of anemia, even if a normal girl comes to her aunt, she will not have the symptoms of anemia, so it is said that girls can replenish blood by eating Ejiao, in fact, it may often be because of the reddish-brown color of Ejiao, which looks almost the same as coagulated blood, which is just a misunderstanding caused by ancient times. ”

Xu Yi interrupted Yu Hangsheng with a smile and said, "Fatty, you are too absolute to say that. There is basically nothing wrong with your analysis, but you don't notice the difference in socioeconomic status. In fact, the medicinal value of Ejiao used to be affirmed, but now, this thing has no medicinal value, or there are not many people who are suitable for it, which is true. ”

"Oh?" (to be continued......)
