Chapter 305: The Burning Everlasting Lamp
Ten minutes later, Su Wang appeared near the Bahe River described by Li Gui, wearing a dust mask on his face, goggles on his eyes, trekking poles in his hand, and a large rucksack on his back. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Sometimes when I am tired of walking, I take out a kettle and take two sips to rest, and then move on.
There was no trace of the underground imperial tomb near the location described by Li Gui, and it was not until about six o'clock in the afternoon that he finally detected an underground space, saying that it was a space, but it was actually the same as what he detected under the Black Dragon Valley, which was a corridor.
Of course, more often than not, people will call it the Tomb Road.
The reason why it is called Yongdao instead of the tomb road is only because he does not know whether it is a tomb road or not.
The road is about sixty meters below the ground, and the ground inside is all paved with bluestone, about two meters high, the top is arc-shaped, and it is also made of bluestone, and the road is very straight, until it is beyond his detection range, and nothing appears, just a straight passage.
He didn't rush in, no matter whether the legend was reliable or not, for the sake of life safety, he had to wear anti-virus equipment to be able to go down.
Fortunately, it was already past six o'clock in the afternoon, and after more than two hours at most, it would gradually darken, and then I would be able to find an opportunity to change clothes.
In fact, the better way is to find a car, and then change clothes in the car and go straight in, but he is empty around him, and there is no room or unmanned vehicle for him to find a chance to change clothes.
There are two difficulties in renting a car or buying a car, the first is that if you want to rent a car, you must provide an ID card, and the other is that you have to swipe your card to buy a car, and you must also provide proof of identity for a temporary license plate.
And neither of these things is what he wants.
Taking advantage of this time, he found a place to sit on the ground, then ate something to replenish his energy, and then let his brain, which had been working for hours, relax.
In the evening, when the sun was setting and the sunset was gradually darkening, Su Wang, who had rested enough, opened his eyes suddenly, then scanned around, and finally quickly changed his clothes, his right arm shook, and he disappeared in place, and the next moment, he appeared in the underground corridor more than sixty meters above the ground.
The multi-function watch did not detect toxic gases, but he did not dare to be negligent, the common gas surface has two types: filter type and isolation type, the filter type, as the name suggests, is to filter out harmful gases in the air through the poison filter canister. The isolation type is better understood, so that the respiratory organs, eyes and face of personnel are isolated from the toxic air outside, relying on their own construction period of gas masks.
Isolated gas masks are divided into three types: gas storage type, oxygen storage type and chemical oxygen type.
What Su Wang stole was the second type, an oxygen-storage isolation gas mask.
The mask obstructed most of his vision, but from the moment he entered the corridor, he rarely used his eyes to see, but instead opened all six sides of his detection ability to detect unknown space to the greatest extent.
According to his understanding, if the rivers, lakes and seas in the underground imperial tomb were really arranged with mercury, there should not be a terrifying black dragon like the one in Genghis Khan's mausoleum, the gas volatilized by mercury is highly toxic, and no one and no creature can stay in it for a long time without accidents, and Transformers are no exception.
If there is any danger, it should also come from the dark crossbow or something, but it is unknown whether these things will work after more than 2,000 years.
Su Wang is not in a hurry, now he has reached the pinnacle of his life, there is a way that the son of a daughter can't sit down, if it wasn't for Gu Yu plucking him once, plus Yang Yunshu said in the morning that the imperial tomb might be stolen, he would not venture into such a place where he knew nothing.
All fear comes from the unknown.
Inside the corridor, it was so quiet that people felt frightened, Su Wang held his breath and walked cautiously, although the mask was isolated, so that his ears could not catch too much sound, but this did not have much impact on him, and the detection distance of a radius of one thousand meters could ensure his safety.
Moving cautiously along the way, the multi-function watch recorded the distance and time he traveled, until two hours later, he detected the end of the road 100 meters ahead, so he sat on the ground, and ate something to recuperate before continuing to move forward.
In order to have more energy to face what happened next, he narrowed the detection distance to a distance of 100 meters around, which has two advantages, one is more detailed detection, and the other is that it can reduce the fatigue caused by high-speed analysis of the brain.
At the end of the road was a whole piece of broken dragon stone about three meters high and about two meters wide, and before Su Wang could come over, he once again fully expanded the detection distance, and did not shrink back to one hundred meters until he reached the broken dragon stone.
After the broken dragon stone, it is still a corridor, but it is wider, until twenty meters later, it begins to show a huge hall.
The whole hall is about ten meters high, thirty meters in radius, the center of the hall is placed with a copper tripod at least five meters high, placed in the middle palace, and the eight tripods are displayed in the gossip direction around the hall, but the rest of the eight tripods are a little small compared with the central copper tripod, basically about one meter high.
After detecting the situation inside, Su Wang was surprised and almost stood up, Ding, Jiufang Ding.
Yu takes the bronze of the tribute of Jiumu and casts it as Jiuding, engraves the famous mountains and rivers of Kyushu, and the strange things in its body, symbolizes a state with a tripod, and concentrates Jiuding in the capital of the Xia Dynasty.
Regarding the whereabouts of Jiuding, there have been different opinions, Sima Qian in his "Historical Records", the description of Jiuding is inconsistent, inconsistent, such as in Zhou, Qin two "Benji" said, Qin Zhaoxiang King 52 years, Zhou Yu Wang died, Qin from the Yi plundered Jiuding invasion, but in the "Feng Zen Book" it is recorded: Yu collected the gold of Jiumu, cast Jiuding. All taste the gods and ghosts. It was sage, and Ding moved to Xia Shang. Zhou De declined, Song Zhishe died, Ding Nai fell, and he was gone.
"Mozi Cultivation Note" records that if the Xia Hou clan loses, the Yin people will receive it, and if the Yin people lose it, the Zhou people will receive it. Xiahou, Yin, and Zhou also suffered from each other.
After the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the Zhou royal family declined, and the princes began to covet the royal power, and the world entered the Warring States Period, until the first emperor unified the world, and Jiuding was owned by the Great Qin Empire.
It is said that in the second year after Qin destroyed Zhou, the Jiuding of the Zhou royal family moved west to Xianyang. But when Qin Shi Huang destroyed the six countries and unified the world, Jiuding no longer knew its whereabouts, some people said that Jiuding sank in Pengcheng, Surabaya, Qin Shi Huang went out to patrol Pengcheng in Surabaya, and also sent people to dive and salvage, but the result was in vain.
For this point, many people are speculating that the First Emperor was acting, how can the important weapon of the country be said to be lost if it is lost? It must have been buried in the underground imperial tomb early.
There is also another speculation, saying that the Surabaya fishing tripod itself is apocryphal, in order to set off Liu Bang and appeared, this statement has also been supported by many people, because the Qin capital Xianyang Road Pengcheng only saw that there are both Weishui, Luoshui, and Jushui, but the legend that Qin Shi Huang went to Pengcheng Surabaya to fish for Ding, it is also a little unreasonable.
The latest appearance of Jiuding should be the story of King Qin Wu when he went out to visit Luoyang and competed with Wu Shu and Meng Ben to raise Yongzhou Dading, and died of exhaustion. This point was also played in "The Legend of Miyue".
Of course, some people believe that Kyushu is unified, and Jiuding should be a Ding, and it should not be nine Ding, but a Ding, the so-called Jiuding, and its name should be Kyushu Ding.
Nowadays, more people believe that the whereabouts of Jiuding are buried in the mausoleum of the first emperor, although it is only speculation, but it is accepted by more people.
But right now, Su Wang can shout to the whole world with certainty, Jiuding is displayed in the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang.
But why is the difference in size so prominent? Could it be that the place where the central summit is located produces more copper?
After resting outside, Su Wang took two deep breaths, and after probing the situation inside again, he appeared next to Jiuding in the next moment.
Although the Jiuding style has been detected before, the shock after seeing it with my own eyes is far more real and strong than presenting it in my mind.
The central tripod is a square four-legged tripod, with strange auspicious beasts carved on the front and inscriptions engraved on the back, but unfortunately these Su Wang do not know. However, this did not prevent him from taking photos of Ding's appearance and inscriptions with his mobile phone.
The remaining eight tripods have a round tripod, and the rest are square tripods. The ornaments on it are also different, due to the direction of the shape, Su Wang can only see that there are animal faces, dragons and phoenixes, animals, clouds and thunder, fire, etc., as for the details, he can't say.
All the tripods are cast in bronze, and Su Wang took a picture of each tripod with his mobile phone, then took a break and continued to move forward.
This time, the road was obviously wider and higher than before, and Su Wang still probed fully first, and after finding that there was no danger ahead, he shortened the detection distance and went all the way carefully.
This time, it only took about 20 minutes, and the front suddenly opened up, dotted with stars, and stretched to the end of the road.
The so-called sudden enlightenment means that the light is bright.
Yes, it's bright.
Although he had never seen any of these, he had heard that it was a permanent lamp.
A real ever-bright light.
In 527 A.D., the Eastern Roman Empire found a lamp in a temple in present-day Syria, and according to the inscription in the temple, it was lit in 27 A.D. - that is, for 500 years, and a little later in 1534, King Henry VIII of England discovered the tomb of the father of the Roman Emperor Constantine the Great in a church in present-day Yorkshire, and a lamp was still burning in the tomb. And Constantine's father died in 300 AD, so the lamp has been strong for more than 1,200 years, which is even more durable.
And China also has records about this aspect, "Historical Records of the First Emperor of the Qin Dynasty" wrote: The first emperor ascended the throne at the beginning of the reign, wore the Lishan Mountain, and merged the world, the world sent more than 700,000 people, wore three springs, and went down to the copper to the coffin, and the palace was full of strange and strange artifacts. With mermaid paste as a candle, the one who will not be extinguished will last for a long time.
No one has been able to fully answer this question until now, how did the ancients make the ancient lanterns bright? Is there enough fuel? The tombs are all closed, so is the air enough?
The more interpretive approach to this matter is that there is a fire control system in the ancient tomb, and when someone enters, someone accidentally triggers the fire control system and then lights the ancient lamp.
It's just that Su Wang was cautious all the way, he was sure that he hadn't triggered any mechanism at all, and in this underground space where the air was thin and almost nothing, how could the ever-bright lamp burn?
