Chapter 492: Everbright Lantern for Liu Tianjia

In the stone chamber, after we took off our waterproof suits, we discussed that since we had found the tomb, it would be a long battle, and we might have to look for a long time under it to find the key, and we had to be prepared, that is, we had to send someone back to the water to bring some equipment and food, because when we started to come down, we didn't expect to find the entrance to the tomb so quickly, and we didn't have much to bring.

Liu Xuyang volunteered to let him go up, we were just trying to take a break at this time, since someone recommended himself, we had no opinion and unanimously passed.

After waiting for about ten minutes, he was impatient, grabbed his bag, and took a flashlight at the other end of the stone room. The madman said, "I'll go first." I said that I would go in together when Liu Xuyang came down, and said coldly: "Don't wait." With that, he stepped into the stone gate on his own.

Wu Lele said with great dissatisfaction: "This person has no discipline at all. ”

"Let him go." I said lightly, "He's the kind of person who is unfettered and gets used to doing his own thing." ”

After waiting for half an hour, there was a sudden noise at the bottom of the slope, Wu Lele and I glanced at each other, vigilantly walked to the top of the slope and shone down with a flashlight, but found that several heads appeared below in a row.

"Ahem, Brother Dao, Lele, I'm here." The first thing that caught my eye was Zhang Yunhao, followed by Zheng Weiqi and Xia Mengyao, and there were people behind them, I asked them why they all came down, Zhang Yunhao said: "I heard Brother Yang say that I found the entrance, I couldn't sit still, I wanted to come down and see, the goddess is here." ”

Yes, even Zhong Ling'er came down!

I looked at her puzzled, and the last thing I agreed with was for her to come down because it was too dangerous down there. Zhong Ling'er saw the reproach in my eyes, turned a blind eye and said nothing. I said angrily to Liu Xuyang: "You made a wrong decision this time, you shouldn't let them all come down, you should always leave one or two people on it to guard the boat." ”

"Tell them for yourself." Liu Xuyang looked around and asked extremely unhappily: "What about the crazy surname?" "I said I was already playing as a striker. Liu Xuyang snorted coldly, "He's doing death!" Xue'er hurriedly asked, "Where did Da go?" I pointed towards the stone gate, and Xue'er was about to go in, but was stopped by Wu Lele, "Don't worry, let's go in together." This is underwater, more dangerous than anywhere else. ”

I found that Mu Lanlan didn't come down, so I asked Zhong Ling'er: "Where is Sister Lanlan?" Zhong Ling'er said: "She said that she was guarding the boat on it. "I know that Mu Lanlan is actually equal to Feng and Musi, she hopes that Yu Feng and Musi will appear at sea, if she is on the boat, it will naturally be much more convenient to save them on the ship.

When everyone went to the stone room, they put down the packages they were carrying, and sorted them out one by one, and there were a lot of large and small bags, including food, weapons, flashlights, and electronic instruments.

We left an oxygen tank and some food here, and then we each took our other equipment and started heading towards the tomb.

Zheng Weiqi shone a flashlight around, his eyes were full of excitement and curiosity, I was worried that a place like him was not a tourist attraction, and he must be cautious every step he took, Zheng Weiqi put away his curiosity and nodded heavily.

Beyond the stone chamber, there was a long tunnel in front of us, much wider than the "waterway" we had entered earlier, more than two meters wide by a foot high, and it was dark in front of it, I don't know how long. The tunnel is surrounded on all sides by stone walls, which are smooth and apparently built by hand. There was an ancient oil lamp every two meters on the stone wall on the left and right, Zheng Weiqi took out a lighter and lit it, and the oil lamp ignited instantly, and the flame was very large.

Zheng Weiqi called it weird, what is going on with this oil lamp, it can still be used after so many years, Xia Mengyao looked at the oil lamp and explained: "This oil lamp, the oil in it is made of the oil of the shark people in the East China Sea, called the Changming lamp, it is very flame-resistant, and after it is ignited, it can almost burn for many years." ”

"So long?" Zheng Weiqi asked curiously: "What kind of oil is this East China Sea merman, it is so magical, is the East China Sea merman a human?" ”

Xia Mengyao said: "The East China Sea mermaid, with a fish-tailed human body, is similar to a mermaid, which can be said to be half-human and half-fish, which is very rare. Legend has it that the merman is a tribe of ancient human beings who changed their physique to hide in the water to avoid the scourge of war, so they have legs, and the legend is that the fisherman met the immortal in the sea and was turned into a servant, but no one knows what the real origin of the merman is, and the legend is always just a legend. ”

"Oh mother, it's amazing!" Zheng Weiqi was amazed again.

Zhang Yunhao said: "I have also heard about this everlasting lantern, there are tomb robbers all over the world, they try their best to go to the ancient tombs to steal and bury thousands of years of gold, silver and jewelry, the ancient tombs are often isolated from the world, so that the treasures are still well preserved after thousands of years." In this ancient tomb that does not see the light of day all year round, tomb robbers usually think that they should not be able to reach out and lose their fingers. However, they are sometimes horrified to find that on the vaults of some ancient tombs, a bright lamp casts a faint light, and the world is puzzled why this lamp is still on after so many years, and it turns out that their oil is made of oil from the people of the East China Sea. ”

"Not really." Xia Mengyao said: "The mystery of the Changming lantern is still a mystery, not all the oil in the lantern is the oil of the shark people in the East China Sea. ”

Xia Mengyao said again that the fire on this ever-bright lamp is called the fire that is not extinguished. The unquenchable fire first appeared in various mythological stories. It is said that this unquenchable flame is the fire of the heavenly palace, and it was Prometheus who smuggled it to mankind. In short, human beings knew this secret by chance. Maybe it was a certain sage who passed it on to human beings, just like the Shennong clan taught humans to grow crops, and the Youchao clan taught humans to build dwellings. As soon as humans learned how to make permanent lights, word spread, and temples all over the world wanted to install such lamps that would never go out.

According to the customs of places like ancient Egypt, Greece, and Rome, the dead also needed lights to dispel darkness and illuminate the way. Therefore, it is customary to put a lamp inside the tomb before it is sealed. And the house of wealth and glory should be more luxurious, put on an unextinguished lamp, and always illuminate the dead. Thousands of years later, when the vaults of these tombs were opened, the excavators found that the lamps inside were still burning well. But these were the facts of the past, and they remain a mystery today.

Everyone listened to it and praised it for a while. Wu Lele joked to Zhang Yunhao: "Mouse, you mediocre person, you are lucky enough to see this everlasting lamp in your lifetime, and you can be regarded as dying without regrets." Zhang Yunhao was not angry, and said with a smile: "Each other, each other." ”

After lighting several oil lamps in a row, the tunnel became bright, Zheng Weiqi was full of interest, seeing that the oil lamps in front of him were continuous, and he wanted to light them, I stopped him, the oil lamps also need oxygen to burn, and they can't be lit too much.

After walking about thirty or forty meters forward, a light suddenly appeared faintly in front of me, like a flashlight. It turned out that the tunnel had reached the end, and at the end of this was a wall. The madman was obviously blocked by this wall, and he looked at us with a solemn and depressed face.

Xue'er was very surprised when she saw the madness, and shouted happily: "Great! The man had already run up like a rainbow, and asked with a crazy face, "Why did you come down?" Xue'er said coquettishly, "People are worried about you, so they came down." Crazy glanced at our big team, and said to me and Liu Xuyang: "There are a lot of people. Liu Xuyang didn't pay attention to his words, looked at the stone wall in front and asked, "Can't you get by?" The madman turned around and said nothing, as if to say, you can see for yourself.

The stone wall was made up of fourteen stone blocks, so thick that they could not move when pushed by both hands. We groped around the stone walls, hoping to find the mechanism, but after searching for a long time, we found nothing.

"Will it be the end?" Zheng Weiqi asked.

"No, it won't." I said, "From the lantern outside, this should be the entrance to the tomb, which is a stone gate, and only through this door can you really enter the tomb." ”

Liu Xuyang said: "To build such a large mausoleum on the bottom of the sea, this tomb is only afraid that it is not so easy to enter." ”

Zhang Yunhao said with a big grin: "Actually, it's simple, didn't we bring explosives?" Just don't do it and blow it up! ”

"No." Xia Mengyao stretched out her hand and knocked on the wall, and immediately objected: "This wall has a mezzanine, there may be a mechanism in it, once it explodes, it may be triggered, in case there is sulfuric acid in the sandwich room, the consequences are unimaginable." ”

"Otherwise, what else can you do?" Zhang Yunhao opened his hand and glanced at us, and finally stopped his gaze on Zhong Ling'er, and asked with a smile: "Goddess, what do you think?" ”
