Chapter 699: The Golden Body of the Stupa
"Ever-bright lights?"
Qin Feng looked at these lit oil lamps and couldn't help but mutter.
The everlasting lantern also has a name, which is the Everlasting Flame Lamp.
The unquenchable fire first appeared in various mythological stories.
It is said that this unquenchable flame is the fire of the heavenly palace, and it was Prometheus who smuggled it to mankind.
In short, human beings knew this secret by chance.
Maybe it was a certain sage who passed it on to human beings, just like the Shennong clan taught humans to grow crops, and the Youchao clan taught humans to build dwellings.
As soon as humans learned how to make permanent lights, word spread, and temples all over the world wanted to install such lamps that would never go out.
According to the customs of places like ancient Egypt, Greece, and Rome, the dead also needed lights to dispel darkness and illuminate the way.
Therefore, it is customary to put a lamp inside the tomb before it is sealed.
And the house of wealth and glory should be more luxurious, put on an unextinguished lamp, and always illuminate the dead.
Thousands of years later, when the vaults of these tombs were opened, the excavators found that the lamps inside were still burning well.
But these were the facts of the past, and they remain a mystery today.
In China, legend has it that on Chinese New Year's Eve, because the gods went to heaven, the ghosts and gods came out to look for food, especially those fish, dragons, and the like.
If the lights are blown out and the sky and earth are not seen in the dark, it will catch people with its voice, especially when children cry in the middle of the night and the elderly cough, and their lives will not be saved.
There are many similar records, and it is recorded in the historical records that there is an ever-bright lamp placed in the mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang.
The Chinese people have a tradition of treating death as life, and the mausoleum after death is also called the Yin House, and the king attaches great importance to the mausoleum, as the residence after death, they also hope to be as bright as the palace before death, so there is also a lantern.
This is about what is recorded in historical documents.
The first thought that came to Qin Feng's mind came to mind.
Qin Feng knew that in the feng shui world.
The lantern is a double-layer structure, in which a container is filled with lamp oil, the wick is soaked in vinegar, and the outer layer is filled with water to cool the lamp oil.
This is a great invention, because the oil consumed by oil lamps is not mainly ignited, but volatilized by heat, and the wick soaked in vinegar can not only keep the temperature low.
The water outside the oil jar can also effectively stop the oil temperature from rising, but Changming is the ideal wish after all.
In the previous life, in the excavation of Dingling in Beijing, there was a celadon vat in the main hall of the mausoleum, which contained wax lamp oil and a wick, which was 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.
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.
In 527 A.D., when Syria was under the rule of the Eastern Roman Empire, Eastern Roman soldiers in Syria discovered a lamp lit in a niche in a pass, which was covered by an elaborate hood that seemed to be used to keep out the wind.
According to the inscriptions found at the time, the lamp was lit in 27 AD.
When the soldiers found 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.
A Greek historian once recorded a lamp burning on the door of the Temple of the Sun in Egypt.
This lamp does not use any fuel, it has been on for centuries, and it will not go out no matter how windy or rainy.
According to the Roman theologian St. Augustine's description, the temple of Venus in Egypt also had a similar lamp, which could not be extinguished by the wind or poured out by the rain, which was really a bit like the Flaming Mountain described in "Journey to the West".
In 1400 AD, it was discovered that such a lamp was also lit in the tomb of Peles, the son of the ancient Roman king, and this lamp has been burning for more than 2,000 years!
Wind and water were helpless against it, and the only way to extinguish it was to drain the strange liquid from the lamp bowl.
In 1534 AD, the army of King Henry VIII of England stormed the English church, disbanded the religious community, and excavated and looted many graves.
While digging the tomb of the Roman Emperor Constantine in Yorkshire, they found a still burning lamp, whose father died in 300 AD, meaning that the lamp burned for 1234 years!
Including Huaxia.
There have also been rumors in the feng shui world.
In his previous life, Qin Feng personally participated in the archaeology of an emperor's tomb.
Inside there is a lantern that has been burning for thousands of years.
It's just that during the fight, this everlasting lamp was extinguished.
So, this secret has never been solved.
Qin Feng also knew that there were many records in some historical documents.
But unfortunately, this kind of unextinguished lamp is no longer visible, and those past records are not true?
The never-extinguishing lamp is a natural topic of debate in academic circles.
Some people believe that the records of ever-bright lamps in various countries around the world are enough to make people affirm that there is indeed such a kind of lamp that does not go out, or a lamp that burns for a long time, but the technology is lost, and we can't understand it.
Most of the people of insight in the Middle Ages believed that such an unextinguished lamp did exist, and that it had some kind of magical power.
Others believe that although there are so many records of the lantern.
But in reality, there is no ever-bright lamp in plain sight, and the energy problem of this lamp seriously violates the law of conservation of energy, so this kind of lamp that does not go out should not exist.
There are also many who believe that this may be a clever joke made by the ancients in the book.
If ever-bright lamps really exist, then what is their source of energy?
Or they don't last forever, but they burn for thousands of years, and if they are ordinary kerosene lamps, they will consume tens of thousands of liters of kerosene.
Is it possible that their fuel can be replenished continuously?
After the Middle Ages, many thinkers tried to make a permanent light by refueling, that is, to quickly refuel when the fuel was about to run out.
But none of the experiments were successful.
Even with modern technology of continuous fuel replenishment, it is not realistic to make a lamp that will last for thousands of years.
Some people boldly speculate that this kind of lamp is a lamp that uses electricity, and the liquid in the lamp bowl that looks like fuel may be mercury used to conduct electricity, so the "fuel" seems to be never less, and this kind of electric lamp is not afraid of wind and rain.
The ancient Hebrews kept secret what is now called electricity.
It is described that in the 13th century, a Frenchman named Gercheri owned a lamp without any oil or wick.
Usually the lamp was placed on the front porch of his room, so that everyone could see it.
When Jacheri was asked why the lights were on, he always smiled slightly: "Confidential!"
Jackelli has done a lot of experiments related to electricity.
In order to protect himself from being violated by his enemies, he invented a discharge button that emitted a stream of electricity to the iron handle on the door.
When Jacheri presses the button, a shiny blue spark pops up.
If the magic lamp is really lit with electric energy, then how is the electrical energy generated?
Is there a machine installed in a temple or tomb that can generate electricity?
To achieve a continuous supply of electricity once and for all, only solar power can do it.
Is the magic lamp really using solar energy to generate electricity?
Qin Feng actually wanted to tell those so-called scientists that they were just blind and a few nonsense.
"I didn't expect that the secret technique of the ever-bright lantern that was passed down in ancient times still existed in the world. ”
Qin Feng sighed.
I was not surprised by the ever-bright lantern that appeared in Wu Zetian's ancient tomb.
Qin Feng's surprise was another reason.
Changming is a special secret technique, and I'm afraid only Qin Feng knows this.
In my previous life, I stepped into that ancient tomb, and finally the everlasting light went out.
Later, the oil lamp belonged to Qin Feng.
There is nothing special about the oil lamp itself.
But there is a formation engraved in the wick, this formation is very peculiar, he can absorb the qi of heaven and earth independently.
Whether it is yin or yang, or even evil energy, spiritual energy, and earth energy, it can be absorbed.
The rune mark in the wick to absorb all kinds of heaven and earth qi
This is also the reason why the ever-bright light can stay bright.
It's because of the antiquity of this formation.
Absorb the aura of heaven and earth as fuel, and become bright in the world.
This is the real secret of Changming and others.
It's just that this kind of rune mark has only existed in ancient times.
It's long gone now.
Back then, Qin Feng didn't crack it.
The first is because the realm is not enough, and the second is naturally that the lights have gone out and cannot be cracked.
At this moment, when Qin Feng saw this ever-bright lamp, the idea of cracking the rune mark suddenly popped into his mind.
It's just that as soon as this idea came out, it was temporarily suppressed by Qin Feng.
Because, in front of us, there is a more important matter.
That's the break.
"Everlasting light in the world, unquenchable fire gossip feint. ”
Qin Feng knew very well in his heart that the ever-bright lamp was not just about lighting.
Where the ever-bright lantern appears, it often means a formation.
You know, the power of the ancient era is not so simple, just research a rune mark that only has the effect of lighting.
Sure enough, just when Qin Feng was thinking about this.
The scene in the stone room suddenly changed.
This is also the time when all the everlasting lights are fully lit.
Qin Feng's divine sense glanced and paid attention.
There were a hundred and eight permanent lanterns, all of which were lit.
A special and peculiar aura fluctuation suddenly erupted in this stone chamber.
The whole aura surged.
Looking at it with divine sense, if you describe it in words, it is like at this moment, there are one hundred and eight energy points in this stone room, and each everlasting lamp is an energy point.
Deliver energy in the air to the front of this stupa in the middle.
"Everlasting lamps, pagodas. It's kind of interesting. ”
Qin Feng didn't stop it, but waited quietly.
The changes in front of him attracted Qin Feng's attention.
The aura fluctuations in the stone chamber are still changing.
The stupa in the middle of the stone chamber has also begun to change.
The entire stupa began to glow with a golden glow.
This light goes from weak to strong, and the whole process, although it seems slow.
But it's only a few breaths in between.
The stupa is already full of golden light.
"The aura of the stupa is increasing. During the Tang Dynasty, it was rumored that before Wu Zetian ascended the throne, he was blessed by Xiangguo Temple and had a cause and effect, and it seems that this rumor is true. ”
Qin Feng squinted his eyes and looked at all this in front of him.
The aura that erupted from the stupa gradually intensified.
"Buddha bone relics. ”
Suddenly, the aura of the stupa suddenly erupted, and it was twice as strong as before.
This instantaneous change made Qin Feng's divine sense suddenly discover something strange.
Sure enough, I didn't expect that the Buddhist monk would willingly become Wu Zetian's tomb protector. It's really unusual. ”
Just after Qin Feng's words fell.
The golden light that erupted from the stupa changed magically in an instant.
These golden rays of light are like having life.
In front of Qin Feng, it slowly converged, and in an instant, a golden person was formed.
This person is dressed in a robe and has a bald head.
The facial features on the face are very similar and specific.
When the last rays of light on the stupa gather.
The golden monk opened his eyes.
The aura of cultivation suddenly exploded.
"Amitabha!"
A Buddha horn was announced.
A wave of aura from the carrier exploded directly towards Qin Feng and slammed over.
"Hmph. I didn't expect that Buddhist monks would be willing to protect the tombs of secular emperors, which is really a shame for Buddhism. ”
Qin Feng was not an ordinary feng shui monk, in the face of this opponent's attack, he directly mobilized his mind and divine consciousness and defeated him.
also refuted and ridiculed it in passing.
In the moment just now, Qin Feng had already felt it clearly.
This stupa was formed by the golden monks.
It's not simple.
Its cultivation is the realm, and it reaches the realm of legends.
This is by the eminent monks, willingly, turning into gods and Buddha bone relics, abandoning the six realms of reincarnation, and abandoning the trip to the Western Heavens.
With its own three souls and seven spirits, it is condensed.
It can be said that this is the strongest guardian in the Chinese feng shui world.
It is much stronger than the mausoleum in the ordinary emperor's tomb.
Because, as long as the everlasting light is not extinguished, the golden body will not be defeated.
Although his cultivation is weaker than Qin Feng, he belongs to the kind of existence that cannot be killed.
This alone, even in the face of the legendary realm, is a headache.
Moreover, this thing retains the wisdom and memories of life.
It can be said that he is the strongest mausoleum protector in the feng shui world.
"The donor said in vain, the old man sacrificed himself to save the world, there is supreme merit, how can it be ashamed. ”
Monk Jinguang spoke kindly.
Eyes narrowed.
The next second, without any warning.
A majestic force burst out from his hand and attacked towards Qin Feng.
"Hypocritical bald donkey, if you change to other feng shui monks today, you may really have no way to take you, but today you are facing me, and I will tell you what it means to be rampant. ”
