Before the Candela, one of the seven basic units of the International System of Units, the unit of measurement for light intensity was the candlelight. The standard for 1 candle is defined by a special whale oil candle, which is required to be 2.2 cm in diameter and burn 7.78 grams per hour.

Based on this calculation, one ton of merman paste can burn for about 14 years, and the merman can refine oil from his body.

However, if you want to make it burn for more than a thousand years in such an ideal situation, the demand for sharks is undoubtedly huge. Now the "mermaid paste" candle has been burning for nearly a thousand years, and it is also "immortal for a long time".

"Shu Wei Ji" records that "there are pearls in the South China Sea, that is, whale eyes, and the night can be seen, which is called night light." "The eyes of the whale can shine like a jewel, which is why it is said that "the eyes are like the pearl of the moon", and therefore it has the value of tribute. In fact, the legend of "Shark Crying Beads" may be a literary and artistic statement that plucks eyeballs from the shark people, which is a kind of evidence that whitewashes cruel means, but has to be safe.

Those lamp oils are made of the flesh and blood of the mermaids, and such things will appear in the tombs of emperors and princes, but the finished lamps and lanterns do not have lamp oil, and the fundamental reason is only one point, that is, those places themselves cannot be put in lamp oil.

Fan Li's business acumen is very developed, even above politics, when he discovered this underwater mausoleum, he didn't know how to use to trap the Bermuda Triangle, the South Atlantic, the Devil's Sea, and the Michigan Triangle...... The existence of the mermaids in these places has made those ghosts who have killed so many living beings obediently become his tomb keepers, and for various considerations, he must have set a series of measures, and as the owner of the tomb, he will not place the tomb keeper's grease in the places where those things may appear, otherwise it will bring unimaginable riots.

Some of the most famous insurrections in the world: the Chartist movement in Britain, the two armed uprisings of the workers of Lyon in France against capitalist exploitation and oppression, the Spartacus uprising, the bourgeois revolution in England, the French Revolution, the American Revolutionary War, the German peasant uprising, the October Revolution......

The most fundamental reason for these riots is that there is an unfair gap between the authorities and the oppressed, this kind of ditch has not disappeared with the growth of time, but has become deeper and deeper, Fan Li's brain is extremely smart, and will not be blinded by short-term joy, so he can say "the cunning rabbit dies, the lackey cooks" and retreated, so for these, on the one hand, can become their own mausoleum keepers, try their best to squeeze and deter, and change the law to comfort and comfort, The place where the merman appeared did not have the lamp oil of the lantern was not the most important, the most important thing was that Fan Li in order to please them, under the deep pool, for some reason, spent a huge effort to build a merman delivery room, although it has evolved to the present, but Fan Li's idea must be like this at that time.

"That Tao Zhu Gong, on the one hand, he is full of benevolence and morality, on the other hand, he is extremely disgusted with you, and even disgusted with tomb robbers, it is conceivable that your position in the depths of his heart, if it is not for the need to guard the tomb, I am afraid that it is really not as good as the tomb robber whom the tomb owner hates the most."

Li Luant said this sentence with a slight sigh, in exchange for the black shark's angry eyes, it looked at the place where its people disappeared, and laughed, "That's right, that's right, what you said is right, but there is one point-" laughing, ruthless" is what you speculated, the number of our purebred sharks is a few hundred, there are not so many for a long time, after your father came, the number is even less, what you saw just now is all. ”

All, 22 pcs?

Li Luant was shocked, and the black shark smiled with tears, "After all, under such torture, they can't survive easily, but I'm different, I know I can't die, so I came back to life." The black shark looked inexplicable, and what was buried in the abyss was none other than his remaining race.

"He treats us pigs and dogs as badly, but in fact, why not what you say? When I saw this setting, I was even more sure that you tomb robbers are human beings, and everyone can safely step into the place, but he has set such a trap for us who kidnapped the tomb keepers who came here, and in his eyes, in the final analysis, it is really just miscellaneous fish, miscellaneous fish!! ”

Seeing this, Li Luant sighed slightly: Although these things are not human, they have killed several people several times, and they almost didn't leave their hands, but in the end, they are just poor creatures who were imprisoned by Fan Li more than 2,000 years ago.

Ban Jieyu, the emperor of the Western Han Dynasty, in order to avoid being harmed by Zhao Feiyan's sisters, took the initiative to serve the queen mother in Changxin Palace in order to avoid trouble. After the death of Emperor Cheng, Ban Jieyu went to the cemetery to guard the mausoleum until her death, and was buried in the cemetery after her death. "Book of Han" volume 97 under the "Biography of Foreign Relatives" "To the collapse of Emperor Cheng, Jieyu filled the garden mausoleum." The biography also recorded a Fu by Ban Jieyu, which wrote, "Die forever for a period of time, and wish to return to the bones at the foot of the mountain, and rest according to the pine and cypress." ”

The queen of the Western Han Dynasty was convicted and deposed, and was also sent to the cemetery. Zhao Feiyan, the empress of Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty, was deposed a few years after Emperor Cheng's violent death and sent to Yanling to guard the mausoleum.

The emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty died, and the "nobles of Zhuyuan" moved to the cemetery with the coffin of the "Emperor Daxing". The so-called "nobles of the gardens", "Hanshu Andi Ji" note that "the palace people have no children, and the people who guard the cemetery are also." Because there are no heirs, the palace maids who are arranged to guard the tomb are called "nobles of the garden". The so-called "childless" may not have been fortunate by the emperor at all, may have been fortunate but not pregnant, or may have given birth but the child unfortunately died. In addition, some women lost in the struggle for favor in the harem and offended, so they were also sent to guard the mausoleum.

According to the "Eastern Han Dynasty Meeting", after the burial of the emperor, the palace people entered the garden to guard the mausoleum, and the nobles with a high status among the concubines were also among them, such as Feng and Zhou. Cao Cao built the bronze bird platform in Yecheng in the 15th year of Jian'an, there are 120 houses on the platform, and the big bronze bird is cast on the top of the building, which is the place of feasting in his later years. According to volume 60 of the "Selected Works", Lu Ji's "Hanging Wei Wu Emperor's Text" quoted the "Wei Wu Testament": "The concubines and the servants are all wearing bronze birds, and they put eight-foot beds on the platform. On the fifteenth day of the month, he went to the tent to be a prostitute. When you wait, you will take the stage and look at the cemetery field in the west. "Cao Cao made a will, ordering that after his death, his little wife and the kabuki in the palace should regularly sing and dance in front of his grave."

In the Tang Dynasty, there were also many court women who were arranged to guard the mausoleum, according to volume 249 of "Zizhi Tongjian", "Tang Ji Xuanzong Dazhong Twelve Years" Hu San Province Note quoted Song Baiyun: Tang system "All the emperors ascended, and the palace people had no children, all sent the mountains and tombs to worship the morning and night, with a crow, a pillow, and death as a life." ”

Han Yu's "Fengling Xing (Shunzong Lingye, thirty miles northeast of Fuping County)" "set up officials to guard and lock prostitutes, and provide for the morning and evening like a peaceful residence. The palace guards should serve the daily life of the emperor after his death in the mountain tomb, and serve the dead as if they were alive.

In ancient times, the disposal of the mausoleum keepers, their fate was miserable, it can be seen, Li Luant thought that he knew enough, but he was still a small thing, those rulers, for their own mausoleum keepers, in order to complete their own goals, did not regard their lives as lives, trampled and punished at will.

Although these mermaids are not human, they look inferior to pigs and dogs in the eyes of the rulers, and they have spent more than 2,000 years and generations trapping their flesh and soul here, just to take care of this ethereal mausoleum and their own souls, and even now once they step into their own territory, they are disgusted with them and even tomb robbers, they are not allowed to enter a single step, they only feel that they are filthy, such a great physical and psychological pain!

Not to mention these sharks, if they were treated like this, I am afraid that they would have gone crazy a long time ago.

The black shark pointed at Li Luant, and suddenly became angry, "You-" and pointed at Su Jiu, "And you-" Li Luant was surprised when he heard this: he pointed out that he was because of his father, and why did he point to the impostor Su Jiu?

"Twenty-five years ago, when they came here, they cut off our last hope, and we almost got out of here, why? Why? Why are you pulling us back again? Why! Don't we have the freedom to live? Can we just be trapped here every day, looking at the black walls? It was they who cut off the last hope of our clan, and I swore that if I met that group of people again, I would definitely crush them to ashes, and most of my wishes could be fulfilled today! ”

The conch horn was taken out by the black shark with a "click", but the black shark restrained its sadness at this time, and the huge stone gate slowly landed, Su Jiu became excited at this moment, and was about to come out quickly, but the black shark's face slowly disappeared, leaving only a sneer floating in the air.

I can't get in, my people are all buried because of me, the rest of the bastards are not worthy to be soldiers of my war, and I can't let those bastards kill each other with you, but you, you will die in this cage from which you cannot escape, just like us, the man once said that any creature that enters this stone door is doomed to death, since I cannot kill you now, let you suffer the pain I have experienced, let you die in despair, although it is cheap for you, but it is imperative!

"We must go out, without Li reform, we can't get out!!"

The impostor roared, but the door "clanged" and closed again, and everything was at peace.

Su Jiu hated to hammer on the ground, looking at the stone door that was only a stone's throw away, but could no longer be opened: Damn, I almost got out, and now it's over. The black shark left a few people here to die, it can't get in itself, and this space also rejects the miscellaneous fish that Fan Li hates from coming in, so it will definitely not be kind and let a few people out, and all kinds of evidence prove that the only way is to open this road from the outside.

Luan Jingjing was still a little vague about what happened suddenly, "Li Luant, what should I do now?" ”

It's an empty three-dimensional square that looks like a huge square space, except that the walls are made of stone bricks, and everything is in line with the architectural characteristics of more than 2,000 years ago.

Li Luant waved his hand and slowly walked towards Su Jiu, "Don't worry, before I figure out this question, I still want to ask, why Su Jiu, he will know my father's name?" ”

A year ago –

In the Fangla Underground Palace——

"Li Reform and Jin Caibao are not the same as these people, they are recruited by the people, and they are directly subordinate to the commander-in-chief of the Snow Leopard Commando, that is to say, except for the commander-in-chief, all their work does not need to be reported to anyone, and all combat meetings and arrangements are excluded, and they only cooperate with the participating Snow Leopard Commandos when the task is assigned."

"The members of the outer team are also members of the Snow Leopard Commando, and their identities are obligated to keep them secret from anyone, and if they are revealed, their descendants and relatives will be endlessly hunted down and coerced by the 'people' organization."

"In the half-century-long chase, they came and went like shadows, and we tried all our best to eat dust behind their butts, and this did not change until the 70s of the 20th century, until your father appeared."

Li Luant squatted in front of Su Jiu, who was constantly beating the ground with hatred, softly, word by word, as if it was a lover's whisper, "Why?" Will you know my father's name? ”

Su Jiu still turned a deaf ear, banging on the ground vigorously, closing his eyes tightly, muttering, but only repeating the words "It's over, it's over—"

Li Luant stuck to Su Jiu's ear, almost colloquial, but word for word, "Do you know?" I found it in the ancestral hall of the village and found a corpse that looked exactly like you. ”

"Finish—"

Su Jiu continued to mumble to himself, but after Li Luant finished saying this, his eyes suddenly opened, and he looked at him in disbelief, trembling "You-" pointed at Li Luant, opened his eyes wide, and pointed to himself, "Me?" Find—you find—"

Li Luant smiled incomprehensibly, "Yes, I found it." ”

"Impossible, impossible, this can't be!" The impostor's pupils contracted violently, holding his head in his hands, falling into self-doubt, shaking his body in disbelief, far away from Li Luant, it seemed that he was beginning to be afraid, "Impossible, impossible." ”

It looked as if he was crazy.

Li Luant quietly watched the imposter acting, and Luan Jingjing saw the suspicion, "Is he really caught in the stage of stimulation, and his spirit can't bear it, so he goes crazy?" ”

Li Luant was very good, and replied with a smile, "No, after all, he is Bai Jiangqiu." ”

As soon as he said this, he was originally in a huge shock, as if he was at a loss for what to do, but at this time, his ears were clear, his head was tilted, and he looked at Li Green Ant with a treacherous smile on his face.

Li Luant took out a crumpled note from his pocket and displayed it in front of the imposter, "You gave it to me." ”

The impostor stood up, patted the soil on his body calmly, and said with the carelessness and laziness that only Bai Jiangqiu had, "When did you start discovering it?" Is it because I said the words 'Li Reform' out of my mouth? Bai Jiangqiu took the note, glanced at it casually, raised his eyelids, his face did not fluctuate, crumpled the paper into a ball, and swallowed it into his stomach casually, as if chewing gum, and swallowed it with a few squirms on his cheeks. The whole process made Luan Jingjing puzzled.

"Actually, even if that body was discovered, I didn't suspect that Su Jiu was Bai Jiangqiu, until you blurted out the sentence 'This thing, not Luan Jingjing', when you met Luan Jingjing, who was transformed by the merman."

"Oh? What's wrong with this sentence? ”

"At that time, the scene was a little strange, there were you, and the king was blind, I don't know if there was a problem with the king blind, but the person who could say this sentence must have a problem, we didn't know until the thing was injured by you and then appeared, we didn't know that it was a kind of creature that could make the dead half-resurrected and disguised as a human being, except for Nie Fengshui, we didn't have the slightest connection with him, and we didn't even know what this thing really looked like, but you could blurt out 'this thing', "look at the imposter calmly" You've been dealing with them for a long time, haven't you? ”

At this moment, the imposter's bones changed drastically, from a strong man-like person, the bones "kalakala" rattled, and quickly shrunk into the appearance of a slightly sickly and weak young man, tearing off the human skin mask on his face, and the appearance he saw at this moment was still the last human face he saw when he was in Fangla Underground Palace.

Is this body the original him, or is this face and this body just another him?

Bai Jiangqiu "Kalakala" turned his neck and ankles, and said comfortably, "It's much more comfortable now, and sure enough, the mask has been worn for a long time, and it is difficult to take it off." ”

Li Luant's eyes froze: Sure enough, it's like this again, the person who disguised Bai Jiangqiu as black glasses in Fangla Digong before, and his eyes were confused, it was really not Zong Yuan and Xu Weihang, it was one of the black glasses, gold ingots, Zhuo Ziyan and himself, and he could completely rule it out, and the remaining three ......

Bai Jiangqiu didn't seem to realize how much damage his unintentional move had caused to his other companion lurking here, maybe this damage was caused in the Fang La Underground Palace, but at that time, Li Luqiu's focus was not focused, but it was captured by the sensitive black glasses, and at that moment, it was determined who the traitor who had been planted in the Snow Leopard Commando Team was, so that the corresponding countermeasures had been taken now.

Luan Jingjing looked at the sudden change of life, and she was also a little worried, and hurriedly stayed away from the imposter and stood behind Li Luant: Although Su Jiu's body was found in the village of Zhai, she still didn't expect that the person dressed as Su Jiu was such a thing, why didn't she notice it until now?

Because Bai Jiangqiu had negotiated with these things 25 years ago, he knew the habits and characteristics of these things, and it was not unexpected to be able to blurt out that sentence, and all kinds of strange things that happened to him could be explained.

Bai Jiangqiu looked at Li Luant funny: "Do you know? In fact, the phrase 'the ignorant are fearless' is really good, when you don't know anything, you are often the bravest, but when you know more, your desire to explore will increase accordingly, and when the time comes, it will not be others who will push yourself to the place of no return, but yourself. ”

Bai Jiangqiu obviously acquiesced to everything Li Luqiu said, and he couldn't help but ironize himself in his heart about the mistakes he made in front of everyone: it was that sentence, that sentence, that made Li Luant doubt his identity, and sure enough, he guessed that he was Bai Jiangqiu, and it was also because of his own mistakes.

"Why did you write me that note?"

Bai Jiangqiu smiled faintly, "The reason is very simple, don't you know?" ”

I see you.

"Why? Why am I there? Li Luant suddenly raised his gun and pointed at Bai Jiangqiu, Bai Jiangqiu raised his hands indifferently, "Oh, oh, calm and calm, these things are the easiest to misfire, in case you accidentally kill me, who else will answer your question later?" ”

"I need to know the answer right now!" Li Luant licked his lips dryly, "Why?" Why am I in that place? Why do you see me? Also, why did you deliberately set up this bureau for me, why did you write me a note? ”

I thought of a question that hovered even more over my heart, and I had to ask, "And, why-"

"Why, do you see the words that the Long March-2 701403 (Y3) was successfully launched?" Bai Jiangqiu smiled carelessly, but with a little coldness, Li Luqiu's hand holding the gun shook fiercely, his scalp was numb, his mouth trembled slightly, and he looked at him in disbelief: Sure enough, he really knew.
