"Shouldn't the mermaid paste of the Mausoleum of the First Emperor be whale brain oil?" Chen Yulou's face twisted the mermaid paste on his body, its quality is clear, delicate as lamb oil, come to the end of the nose and smell it, there is a long-lasting fragrance of clear oil, insoluble in water, but unlike all oils, mermaid oil sinks under water and burns in water.

The partridge whistle also dipped a drop of mermaid paste and observed it at his fingertips: "The Chronicles of Foreign Objects" contains: 'The mermaid resembles a human shape, more than a foot long. Unfed. Pili to the mackerel (i.e. shark), sawwood man. There is a small wear on the neck, and the breath comes out of it. Qin Shi Huang's tomb uses mermaid paste as a candle, that is, this fish also. Out of the East China Sea, there is one in present-day Taizhou. "Taiping Yulan" quoted in "Three Qin Records": "The Tomb of the First Emperor...... Burn whale ointment as a lamp. All imply that the mermaid should be the whale floating on the ocean today, the whale is huge, and the ointment of a whale can burn for twenty years, which is also in line with the record of the historical record of "the immortal lasts for a long time". ”

Chen Yulou sighed with emotion: "I didn't think that what the predecessors contained turned out to be true. I have entered the tomb not a hundred, but dozens, in addition to the ancient tombs that have been obtained by the predecessors, I have also seen some incredible phenomena in some strange tombs. My father once told me that when he was visiting a tomb in the South China Sea, he had seen the sea under the sea burst into flames, illuminating the seabed for thousands of miles. ”

"There are four kinds of fire in the world, namely ghost fire, heavenly fire, human fire and dragon fire. Legend has it that the dragon palace under the sea burns the merman oil lamp, illuminating the hole, called 'dragon fire'. I thought that the so-called 'dragon fire' was a manifestation of the fire of the underwater feng shui gas veins, and it was a kind of submarine feng shui wonder. ”

"But from the discovery of the Mausoleum of the First Emperor today, it seems that there is really such a thing as mermaid ointment, and it is blazing when it encounters water, the wind cannot blow, and the characteristics of no oxygen are in line with the legend of the dragon fire of the sea country."

"Perhaps the legend of King Zhou's return to the country of ruins is not false, we have a record of the Xieling Force, and the country of the ruins has the Hate Tian clan, which holds the secret of dragon fire and casts exquisite bronzes. According to the records of Guixu at the end of the East China Sea, perhaps the dragon fire is a kind of flame that can burn on the bottom of the sea by mixing the oil and gas of the shark with the ointment of the shark people. ”

"The first emperor unified the six countries, rich in the world, legend has it that he often sent people to the sea, looking for immortal mountains, at that time from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there are many strange things in the heaven and earth, Confucius saw Lin, the king of Chu won the phoenix, the king of Qin is to raise dragons and feed dragons, and the country of ruins has not become a legend. Presumably, the envoy of the First Emperor found the legendary dragon fire in the Land of Ruins and dedicated it to the First Emperor. ”

"But according to the performance of the mermaid paste we met today, the dragon fire burned by the mermaid paste did not have a high temperature, although the hating Tianshi could use the mermaid paste mixed with submarine oil and gas to support combustion, but presumably the temperature would not be very high, so the Guixu country could cast exquisite bronzes, but it could not smelt steel, which did not have much effect on the iron civilization that had been developed in the Qin Dynasty. It can only be icing on the cake on the level of bronze casting, which has developed to the peak at that time. That's why the first emperor used these dragon fire and mermaid paste to light the everlasting lamps in his mausoleum. ”

Laura heard the speculation of the two and guessed with her own knowledge: "In the United Kingdom, the steel foundry has mastered the secret of oxidants, and the combustion of flames requires oxygen, but the chemical reactions of many oxidants can provide oxygen to the flames to create flames that do not need oxygen. ”

"On the other hand, in the legends of our country, there are records of mermaids who can live forever if they eat, the early mermaids were a very evil creature in the mouths of sailors, and in the legends of the sea in the 16th century, there is an island in the Caribbean archipelago that hides the Fountain of Immortality that makes people stay forever, and the Fountain of Youth, guarded by mermaids, bewitches sailors with songs, and then eats them, and the Fountain of Youth, which must be medicated with the sincere tears of mermaids, in order to exert its miraculous effect of immortality. But in the Caribbean, during an archaeological study of one of the treasures of the then pirate king Edward Teach, I discovered that the legendary Fountain of Youth, most likely the mermaid itself. ”

"Pirates hunt killer merdfalls and eat their flesh to keep them young! To disguise this viciousness, they called the mermaid's oil and flesh the 'Fountain of Youth'. ”

"So......," Laura speculated, "mermaids may naturally contain oxidants and antioxidants, which help them to obtain oxygen by producing oxygen and synthesizing oxidants when oxygen is low, and antioxidants are designed to avoid malignant oxidation and loss of life in the process of preparing oxygen in their bodies." ”

"This creature should have the ability to survive in harsh environments, shorten its lifespan, and live a long life and anti-aging when oxygen and food are abundant. But because of this, they contain oxidants and antioxidants in their bodies, and they have become the 'dragon fire' that your civilization hunts and refines that can burn in water and stabilizes oxidation, and the raw materials for our civilization to refine the 'Fountain of Youth' that can maintain eternal youth, and have been hunted in large quantities. ”

Chen Yulou and Partridge Whistle glanced at each other, looked at each other and smiled bitterly, the red girl seemed to sympathize with these mermaids who were slaughtered because of their peculiarities, and sneered: "What a coincidence, China also has a record of the immortality of shark meat, and countless dignitaries want to eat a bite of shark meat alive!" ”

Laura was stunned, and then sighed: "These beautiful creatures must have become extinct because of this!" ”

At this time, Chen Yulou suddenly changed color and said: "Not good! ”

Laura was taken aback by him and asked, "What's going on!" ”

Chen Yulou looked up at the ever-bright lanterns on both sides of the long tomb road that continued to spread forward like sparks, and asked in a dry tone: "Since the meat of the mermaid can live forever by eating it, can the First Emperor, who has always pursued immortality, not know this legend?" ”

Moeller cracked his mouth and laughed: "Impossible, even if the First Emperor didn't know, those monks around him would tell him!" ”

"Then why would he use these mermaid pastes to light the lanterns, instead of taking them to make his life longer?" Chen Yulou's face was solemn: "Is the Changming Lantern Road here really just for lighting?" ”

The partridge whistle immediately groped on both sides of the tomb road, and at the same time explained: "The Changming lantern has a very special position in feng shui, we touch the Jin Xiaowei line, and when we are upside down, we will light a lamp in the northwest corner of the tomb, because the lamp is to illuminate the yin and yang, guide the things of the netherworld, and can communicate the two worlds. ”

The partridge whistle was stunned as he spoke, and he touched down the lamp of the bronze lamp, and a bronze pole in the shape of a wooden lamp was deeply embedded in the wall, and at this time everyone knew that the ever-bright lamps on both sides were strange.
