It was similar to what I had imagined, it was also made of bronze, and at first glance it was often burned, and it was blackened like the bottom of the furnace, and it was also carved with a pattern similar to that of the furnace.

But such a thing is too strange, no matter how you look at it, it shouldn't appear here, it is incompatible with the furnace itself, and it destroys all the majesty of the furnace ding.

It was close to the bottom of the furnace, and I couldn't tell if the inside was also connected, Achuan stretched out his head to look at it, and suddenly smiled: "I see." ”

"What's going on?" I don't see anything.

"Look at where this thing is under the water, the snake-like heads are not open."

I craned my neck to look closely, and the darkness was hard to distinguish, but a slight turn of the angle would reveal that it was.

"Why, is it where all this water comes from?"

"Yes, there must be a mechanism in there, the fire is not artificially extinguished, but automatically extinguished, I guess there may be a device such as sensing temperature or calculating time, when the burning reaches a certain level, it will start, the snake head releases water, extinguish the fire, the white thing below must be fuel, the water isolates the air, even if it is flammable, it will be extinguished, the person who designed this device is a genius, I have long thought it is strange, such a large range of flames is difficult to extinguish at once, it is really underestimating the wisdom of the ancients."

It's amazing to hear Agawa say, but I didn't feel too surprised, maybe it's because I've seen too many strange things, and I've long been mentally prepared to see this kind of ingenious thing, and for me, it's not strange that anything appears here, even if a flying saucer wreckage suddenly appears, I can accept it.

"And what are these fuels, I remember seeing so much when I first came, how can it be burned for so long? It burns so vigorously and doesn't smell like smoke, and even if it's not burnt, it's not so white. ”

Ah Chuan smiled and shook his head: "I'm more curious than you." ”

The two of us simply sat down under the stove, bent down slightly, the water vapor gradually dissipated, and the palm of the hand near the water surface did not feel hot, Ah Chuan put three or four layers of plastic gloves on his right hand, and put his hand into the water, he was approaching the white thing a little bit, his fingers touched it, I clearly saw that the smooth surface was pressed into a socket by his fingers, Ah Chuan pulled out his fingers, it did not return to its original state, but it was not completely unchanged, it was neither solid nor liquid, but soft gelatinous, Like a slightly thicker face wash.

What the hell is this?

I saw that Ah Chuan's fingers were also a little stained, white flowers like cream, he slowly stretched out his hand from the water, the water droplets rolled down the plastic gloves, but the white thing did not fall, Ah Chuan's hand just raised a few seconds, I saw his fingertips suddenly burn!

"Achuan!"

I exclaimed, but Ah Chuan's expression almost didn't change, his movements were very fast, and in the blink of an eye, he threw out the gloves, wrapped the fire, and landed on the bronze gossip map, a foul smell of burning rubber rushed into the nostrils, and the two of us drilled out from under the stove and looked at it from a distance, the fire was too strong, obviously only a little, but burned all the layers of rubber gloves, turning into a black gelatinous substance, and the flame has not been extinguished, it is still burning.

My face was full of surprise, Ah Chuan was not much better, obviously it had been completely burned, almost turned into black ashes, but the flames were still there, it looked like a fire appeared out of thin air on the bronze plate, the intensity was not much less, we looked at it in a daze for three or four minutes, it was not extinguished!

What the hell is this!

Fortunately, Ah Chuan is wearing gloves, and if he touches it directly, he is afraid that he will have to cut off his fingers, and I can't help but think of a word - combustible ice.

Combustible ice sounds weird, but it's actually gas hydrate, a clean energy source that is mostly buried under the deep ocean, and I remember seeing pictures of it burning, white solid, a bit like this, it is said that a small piece can burn for a long time.

"Ah Chuan, do you think this is combustible ice?" I asked.

"No, it can't be, it's different," Ah Chuan immediately denied, "Combustible ice is not in this form, even if it is resistant to burning, it is not so exaggerated, and the ignition point is not so low, it ignites immediately after being exposed to the air, and it is impossible to extinguish if it cannot be completely covered with water." ”

I don't think it's like it, it's the closest possibility, but I didn't expect Ah Chuan to deny it so quickly, the flame is still burning, and it has stabilized at that level since the rubber gloves were burned, and there is no sign of extinguishing at all.

Ah Chuan obviously only got a little bit of it, could it be that this kind of thing can't be burned endlessly, I turned my head to look at the furnace again, I didn't expect that there would really be such a strange energy source in the world, it is likely to have been piled up here for countless years, and it has burned countless times, but it is still here today, its owner has long since become a dry bone, but it is still burning.

Ah Chuan went under the stove and took out a handful of water, poured it on the burning flame, and the flame disappeared immediately, but it was rekindled in a few seconds, and the vigor was no different from before it was extinguished.

Ah Chuan looked at the flames in front of him and smiled, and turned his head to look at me: "Daze, in fact, you can also touch it, and you will know that this can't be combustible ice, that kind of touch ......"

Ah Chuan didn't say anything, he smiled at me cheaply, his eyes narrowed slightly, like a fox, my curiosity was provoked by him again, and he also wore two layers of gloves, since he was prepared, he just had to take it off before putting his hand out of the water.

Actually, I was still a little scared, my fingers were shivering out of breath, I put my hand into the water, the water temperature was not low, it was very warm, I touched the white thing, slippery, greasy, soft, like a piece of tender tofu, but it was different, despite the two layers of gloves, this touch still made people feel very comfortable, as if touching a cloud, marshmallow.

I turned my head to look at Ah Chuan, only to see him raise his eyebrows, his face was full of evil smiles, I felt weird, I turned around and stretched out my thumb and index finger and pinched it a little, the fingers were extremely smooth and soft, this feeling is indescribable.

I took off my gloves and threw them out, and the mass burned in the air before it hit the ground, like Agawa's gloves, even if it was burned out, it was not extinguished, I had much more than him, and the flames were even bigger, burning like two ghost fires on the bronze plate.

It's not combustible ice, of course I haven't touched it, but it's a blue flame when it burns, this one is bright yellow, and I feel like a very fine lump of grease, it's paste.

"How? What does it feel like? Ah Chuan approached from behind and smiled cheaply.

"It's slippery, like cream." I replied.

"Oh? That's it? Ah Chuan seemed very dissatisfied, avoided Eleven's gaze, and leaned into my ear to lower his voice, "Don't you think this is very much like a woman's ......"

"What do you say?"

I turned my head and pushed him, only to feel a heat on my head, I hurriedly turned to look at Eleven, only to see him frowning and looking like he didn't know why.

Ah Chuan laughed: "What did you think of?" I didn't say anything. ”

I looked at his smiling face and really wanted to punch him, but I saw that he showed a look of sudden realization again, and added: "Could it be that you thought of ......"

"Shut up!"

I covered Ah Chuan's mouth, I didn't know what I was embarrassed about, but as soon as I saw the white flowers, my mouth was dry, I knew that it was a fuel, but I still couldn't help but think of something I shouldn't think.

"Okay, okay, don't say, don't say......"

Ah Chuan's voice became muffled under my hand, and I let go of my hand angrily, but Ah Chuan smiled again: "It's such a big person, what can't you say, the first thing that comes to mind is cream, shouldn't you be ......"

I turned my head and kicked him, and he quickly covered his mouth: "Yes, don't say, don't say." ”

He didn't say anything, but my whole body was wrong, I hardly dared to look at it, the delicate touch was still in my fingertips, I rubbed my fingers a few times, and I felt that it was wrong, I wanted to touch it again.

As soon as I looked up, I met Achuan's gaze, and hurriedly dodged it, his eyes seemed to be able to speak, and he saw through all my thoughts, and I only felt like pins and needles under my feet, and I couldn't stand.

"Okay, how old are you, what's the reaction? If you don't believe me, I'll tell Eleven, and keep his face from changing. Ah Chuan turned his head and walked towards Eleven.

I grabbed him: "Why are you so bad?" Eleven is how old. ”

Ah Chuan stopped, turned his head to me and smiled cheaply, looking at his expression, I knew that he was playing with me again, but Eleven came over with a cold voice: "What do you want to tell me." ”

"Nothing."

"Nothing!"

Ah Chuan and I said in unison, and Ah Chuan patted me on the shoulder: "Okay, I won't tease you, do you know the merman?" ”

"You know, isn't it a mermaid?" I replied angrily.

"Then do you know that the "Historical Records" contains mermaid paste as a candle to endure the immortal for a long time."

"What do you mean? My language is the worst, don't chew the words. "I'm still not angry.

Ah Chuan still smiled: "That is to say, there is mermaid paste in the world, a little bit can burn for a long time, and it is often used as an everlasting lamp oil in ancient tombs, which can burn for thousands of years without extinguishing." ”

"Is there really a shark in the world?" I blurted out, and then I felt that something was wrong, so I changed my words, "You mean these are mermaid paste?" ”

"Guess, after all, no one has ever seen this creature, but since it appears in ancient books like "Historical Records", it will not be groundless, and don't you think all kinds of descriptions are very consistent?"

Indeed, I turned my head to look again, but unfortunately there was water separated by water, and I couldn't smell it, and the burning smell of the flame would hide its original smell, if it was really mermaid paste, would it have a fishy smell?

I thought about it and felt disgusted, and the white flowers dazzled my eyes, and if this was really the oil taken out of the body of a living being, I would be tired of thinking about it.
