Chapter 63 about the lonely lamp

We were right, the door was not locked at all, it was a hidden door, Yun Ximing only used a little force, and the door slid to the right, and the door of the tomb opened.

"Yin Yin, it's really an unlocked door, this is unusual, let's go in and have a look?" Yun Ximing pretended to be relaxed and said, I knew that he wanted to reduce my fear, but in fact, his face was not much better than mine.

"Just take a look." I also pretended to be light-hearted.

We walked into the tomb, and it suddenly lit up, it turned out that this tomb was not as dark as Yun Ximing said, but there was a lone lamp in this tomb, but the brightness was very low, and the place that could be illuminated was very small, so Yun Ximing didn't find it. This time it's not a red dot, it's not a night pearl on the wall, it's a real everlasting light. The lamp illuminated a corner of the burial chamber, which was smaller than all the previous burial chambers, and felt like it was almost twenty square meters, and the walls were once again filled with the mysterious and intricate spell patterns that had been seen in the secret passages. Our door was not in the center, but on the far left side of the tomb, and the lone lamp illuminated only a small area in front of the door, and the inside was indeed dark, and as soon as we entered the tomb, the small door of the tomb closed silently. Although Yun Ximing and I had long expected that this tomb was by no means that simple, we hurriedly went back and checked.

"The door is locked, and it looks like it can only be opened from the outside." Yun Ximing said.

"Just guess that's the case, let's be safe when you come, and see what's there." I say.

Yun Ximing nodded, and began to look around with me, the closest to us was the ever-bright lamp, its storage zài immediately aroused Yun Ximing's interest, in addition to collecting calligraphy and paintings, the Yun family was also interested in these rare treasures. Seeing him leaning over, I also followed curiously, this everlasting lamp was placed on the copper pedestal, the copper pedestal was embedded in the wall, the lamp of the everlasting lamp was not fixed on the lamp base, but loose, Yun Ximing was bold and reached out to take it. This lamp looks like a certain alloy, which contains silver components, and the whole body glows with a silvery-white luster, and it looks very rough and has no pattern decoration, but at the point of the lamp, there are a few rough carvings like totemic patterns, and I don't know what it means. I didn't have any research on these out-of-the-way antiques, and seeing that Yun Ximing was fascinated, I hurriedly urged him and asked him if he could see it clearly.

"Ximing, don't look at yourself, but you don't see anything?" I asked.

"Yin Yin, this thing, is an everlasting lamp, there are many kinds of legends about the everlasting lamp, we don't really understand what the specific reason is, we also have the legend of the everlasting lamp in China, but there is no evidence, but this one in our hands does not seem to be an antiquity in our country, but it seems to be a foreign thing, because our country used bronze, iron, bronze in ancient times, and rarely used silverware, but Europe especially liked silver in the early days, the silver of this lamp is not pure, it should be refined in the period when alchemy was not developed, Therefore, mixed with other impurities, it will appear this impure silvery-white. Yun Ximing said.

"Do you know when?"

"I can't see it, there is no pattern on it, I can't see the characteristics of the times, the totem on the base may be the totem or personal symbol of the alchemist family who made the lantern at that time, but from the process to the appearance, this is by no means an object in the Central Plains."

"Foreign goods? How could it be in this ancient tomb during the Qing Dynasty? And, what's the fuel? Why does it take so long? I asked.

It is said that in the earliest period of Europe, there were many alchemists and sorcerers, although science does not recognize the existence of these people, but many unexplained events in history are closely related to these people, such as this lantern. It is said that alchemists can make a lantern that can be lit without raw materials and will not be extinguished, but the people who can make these lanterns are eager to protect this secret, so no one knows how to make the lantern now. There is also a saying that there is a secret technique among wizards, just like the Gu art of our Miao Jiang generation, if this spell is cast on an ordinary oil lamp, the oil lamp can be bright and inextinguishable. There is no way to argue whether these statements are right or not, but there have indeed been so many ever-bright lamps in the antique world that have been auctioned, and then they have been taken away by some hermits, and the prices are amazingly high, so they are not light. ”

"Why did you say that it seems to be an unreliable NPC setting in some online game, is there really such a expressive craft or spell?"

"Yin Yin, there are a lot of things, now there is no zài meaning for the past did not exist zài, now people can't do it, it doesn't mean that the ancients can't do it, you look at this lamp in our hands, although the brightness is very low, the irradiation range is not large, but the flame of this wick is very stable, and, you see, there is actually no fuel in it." Yun Ximing pointed to the inside of the ancient lamp, I went up to take a look, it was true, there was only a little transparent liquid in the lamp, which looked like water, but after burning for so long, there was no shortage of water, so obviously these liquids were not the so-called fuel. Look at the wick again, it is very ordinary similar to the ancient Chinese oil hemp wick, but it does not shorten when burning.

"Ximing, what kind of principle is this, this lamp has been burning here for so long, and there is no fuel, what does it rely on?"

"Maybe it's not just burned here for so long, maybe it's burned even longer, maybe someone brought it here and put it in this tomb, who knows how long it burned, this is the secret of the so-called everlasting lamp, how do we know, in this era, the electricity is developed, who cares about such a thing." Yun Ximing said while looking at the ever-bright lamp, like a treasure, "The old man must be very happy when he sees it, Yin Yin, can I ......" Yun Ximing wanted to speak and stopped.

"You are free, Uncle Lu is not here, if you can take it out, it is your ability." I smiled wryly, "The problem is that we are trapped here, and we don't know if we can't get out." ”

"Let's take a look inside, maybe we can find a way out." Yun Ximing said and pointed to the inside of the tomb, it was pitch black, and I couldn't see anything, but I didn't know why, I always felt that there was something in it, watching us in the dark.

Yun Ximing held the lantern, we took a few steps forward, and the right side of the tomb was also illuminated, this photo didn't matter, we were so frightened that we couldn't help but take a step back, I almost didn't shout, there was a person in the right corner of the tomb!
