This ancient tomb that has existed for hundreds of years is still lit, could it be that the owner of the tomb knew that we were coming to light it? I was so excited that I quickly expelled this absurd idea from my mind. That's someone who came before us? But looking at the thin and uniform dust on the ground, there was no trace of anyone disturbing it.

The altar shook his glasses and whispered, "What's going on?" Why is there still a lamp in the tomb? ”

The glasses also whispered for him: "This is called an everlasting lamp, which is relatively common in tombs, and is used to illuminate the owner of the tomb." ”

"I've heard of ever-bright lamps, but they seem to have been lit for hundreds of years, so where does the fuel come from?" Jar asked.

"Some lanterns are not always bright, but they go out because the oxygen in the tomb is exhausted, but once the door is opened, the oxygen concentration in the tomb returns to a level that supports combustion, and the wick that was originally mixed with white phosphorus will spontaneously combust, as if it never goes out. But the real everlasting lamp, as you said, will not be extinguished for hundreds of years. Most of these lamps are fueled by large amounts of oil. When the country excavated the Ming Ding Mausoleum, it found a huge green dragon flower pot in the tomb, which was filled with sesame oil to supply the wick on it for burning. ”

"But there's no vat here, right?"

The glasses scratched their heads and said: "I'm also very puzzled, it stands to reason that if you want this everlasting lamp to stay bright, you should have enough fuel, right?" ”

"And what do those four colors mean?"

Glasses shook his head: "I don't know about this either." ”

I was speechless for a while: "Why are you two sneaking around like thieves, and there is no one else here!" Why didn't you even dare to speak out loud after coming in, or was it afraid of waking up the sleeping one above? ”

The jar and the glasses were the same, but the atmosphere in the chamber made them feel a kind of tension and fear.

The three of us did not go up directly, but walked around the tomb, and when we saw that there was no movement, we slowly walked towards the stone platform. After walking a few steps, I suddenly felt a smoothness under my feet, as if I was stepping on a marble floor, and I no longer had the feeling of being awkward like mountain stones or sandstones.

I picked up the dirt with my feet, revealing the yellow gleaming ground under the dust. The bare ground shone brightly in the firelight, as if it were glass or something.

"Glasses, jars, come and see!" I hurriedly shouted.

Glasses and jars hurriedly came over.

"This is ......" The glasses hesitated a little, but finally confirmed: "This is glass!" ”

I picked up a large amount of dust in the vicinity, and found that in this burial chamber, except for the stone platform in the middle and the outermost circle, which was covered with this yellow colored glaze.

"How can there be so many?" The glasses exclaimed, and then he explained to me and the altar that this ancient method of glass firing is extremely difficult, and the slightest mistake in the intermediate steps will be wasted, so it is very precious.

Hearing what the glasses said, Tanzi couldn't help but have his eyes shining, lying on the ground and looking left and right at those glasses, eager to pry them up and pack them away immediately.

"Poor ghost, glasses, what do you think this is?" Suddenly, the altar shouted, "There seems to be something under this glazed underground, yellow and clear." ”

At first, I thought that the yellow light reflected on the ground came from the glass itself, but after mentioning it in the jar, I found that the glass was colorless and transparent, and what really showed yellow was actually what was under the glass.

His eyes were almost lying on the ground, staring at the glass with all his attention, and he wished that his eyes would turn into X-rays, which could penetrate this layer of glass and see the things below clearly.

After a long while, the eyes finally stood up, as if they had been confirmed, and said with a happy face, "These yellow things down there are oil!" ”

"Oil?"

"Yes, it's oil!" The eye was sure, "It's the oil that fuels the four ever-bright lights." The underside of this main burial chamber has been hollowed out to make a huge oil pool. ”

After listening to the words of the eyes, the altar and I lay on the ground and looked down, and couldn't help but sigh: "How many years does it take to burn so much oil?" ”

"This everlasting lamp, also known as the 10,000-year-old lamp, is unclear whether it can really burn for 10,000 years, but the lamp here has been on for at least a few hundred years. Looking at the oil left in the oil pool below, maybe it can really burn for 10,000 years. Glasses said.

When the three of us came to the stone platform, the altar touched the foot of the stone turtle and said, "This stone statue of the old turtle is magnificent enough...... But it is strange that you say that the owner of this tomb found a turtle carrying his coffin. ”

Although this stone turtle is huge, it is delicately carved and lifelike. I saw that it landed on all fours, with its head raised to the sky, with a fierce face, sharp teeth, and an open mouth to howl, far from being as peaceful and docile as the usual stone turtle statues.

"Stone Turtle Coffin...... Stone Turtle Coffin ......" I kept chattering, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in my mind, and I remembered the record of the stone turtle coffin in "Qingyi Miscellaneous Records": "I know what this stone turtle is, its name is ......"

"What a!" The altar preemptively spoke, "One of the nine sons of the dragon, the stone turtles outside are all this thing, what's the big deal...... It's just that this one is extraordinarily big! Tanzi looked at me with a smug face, as if he was showing me his knowledge, and as if he was rehabilitating me for saying that he didn't graduate from elementary school.

"Cut~ Even you, a person who hasn't graduated from elementary school, can immediately think of it, do I still have to think about it for so long?" I deliberately laughed at the jar twice, trying to ease the tension in the tomb.

When the altar heard me say this, he immediately knew that he had guessed wrong, so he asked curiously, "Isn't it a swag?" ”

I said, "It is indeed the nine sons of the dragon, it often carries the three mountains and five mountains to make waves, in order to be able to suppress it, people put the merit tablet on its back, the so-called merit is immeasurable, how can it bear the immeasurable merit no matter how strong it is?" So it can be completely suppressed. But after all, the turtle is a divine beast, so the stone turtle we see is all kind and smooth, and even smiling. Look at this stone turtle again, the expression is vicious, where is the demeanor of a divine beast? ”

"And what is it?" Jar and glasses asked.

"Jingxi, that's what it's called." I said, "It is a ferocious beast of ancient legends, bloodthirsty and brutal. It is extremely fond of yin, so it stays in a place where the yin qi is particularly strong all year round, although it loves to eat the living, but it is doubly caring for the corpse left behind after death. Therefore, it is rumored that if a person puts the corpse on the back of the crystal worship after death, it can carry the soul of the deceased to the underworld safely, reincarnate and reincarnate, and can also ensure that the body is permanently incorruptible. ”

"But how come I've never heard of the name Crystal Shrine?" Jar asked.
