Chapter 62: Visiting the Palace in the Sanjinu Mountains (3)

The mud and sand on the ground shook violently, and then, a cloud of flames erupted from the hole in the three golden thorn rings, and the three fire dragons jumped straight into the air several meters high and then descended, sporadically splashing a few sparks, followed by a loud bang.

The three of them were forced to retreat by the heat wave that swept their faces, and then they saw that the originally flat ground was gradually lifted up and higher and higher, and a round staircase was being pulled up from the ground, and the sound of debris stirring was heard, hoarse and piercing.

Finally, when the ground stopped shaking, A-Ning saw a fire on the circular staircase that was several meters high in front of her, and then saw a mural displayed on the wall of the staircase.

At this time, Wang Hao had already walked up the circular staircase with Qin Wufu, and there was a staircase at the position of the arch of the boulder pile, which was divided into eighteen steps, and the lines at the turning point were straight and smooth, and they were made of marble.

The top of the staircase is positively large, there are more than ten zhang long before and after, there is a brightly lit niche in the center, at the edge of the staircase is the source of a large piece of firelight, there are dozens of everlasting lamps standing there, at this time the altar is just raised, the everlasting lamp will be automatically lit, emitting a red fire, which is brighter than the everlasting lamp in the tomb just now.

Wang Hao approached these lanterns curiously, and found that the shape of these lanterns was a little peculiar, the whole was the style of a fish, the fish body stood upside down with its tail to support the ground, and the position of the fish head was hollowed out to place the Changming wick, and the light came out through the fish's eye after the wick was lit.

Wang Hao dragged Qin Wufu on the side and asked, "Old Qin, look at these ever-bright lanterns, how can they be made into the shape of fish, could it be that the master of the underground palace likes to eat fish before his death?" ”

Qin Wufu shook his head and said, "These ever-bright lanterns are different from what we saw when we came here before, if I guessed correctly, this should be the mermaid candle of the East China Sea." This ever-bright lamp is taken from the mermaid of the East China Sea as a candle, can burn for hundreds of years without extinguishing, mostly hunted by the ancient Taizhou fishermen, extremely precious, the owner of this underground palace can actually have dozens of mermaid candles in the East China Sea, the background is very deep. ”

Wang Hao touched the fish-headed lampshade on the ever-bright lamp: "You say, such a precious thing must be an antique within an antique, right?" ”

Qin Wufu rolled his eyes and dragged Wang Hao away from the ever-bright lamp: "These ever-bright lamps are buried in the ground all the year round to illuminate the dead, and the yin qi on them is very heavy, unless any guy can't think of it, he will keep this thing as an antique." ”

Wang Hao stuck out his tongue, patted the floating ash on his hands vigorously, and continued to look around the circular staircase with a wolf-eyed flashlight.

Suddenly, he felt something under his feet, slipped and fell to the ground, and suddenly his arm seemed to be knocked by something, and tears almost flowed out of his eyes.

"What the hell is this, I'm dead!"

Wang Hao took the thing out from the ground, took the wolf's eye flashlight and shone it, and suddenly trembled with fright, scolded his mother, and hurriedly threw the thing in his hand far away.

Seeing Wang Hao's expression of eating flies, Qin Wufu smiled: "What's the matter, my face has turned white after a while." ”

Wang Hao raised his hand tremblingly, pointed to the thing that was thrown away by Gollum and scolded: "This old turtle is covered, that's a human skull!" ”

Qin Wufu sighed, he didn't seem to be very surprised, he just patted Wang Hao's shoulder, who was sitting on the ground, and said in a deep tone: "There are two more behind your buttocks." ”

After speaking, Wang Hao jumped up from the spot, and the wolf's eye flashlight shone indiscriminately, and sure enough, a skull appeared behind him, not so much two skulls as two complete corpses, the corpses have been displayed for an unknown number of years, and only one skeleton remains.

"This ...... Why are there so many dead people's bones in this place, could it be that people can still be buried on this platform? After Wang Hao adapted to this situation, he kicked his bones away with some disgust.

Bang!

"Where's the thing up there?"

Under the staircase, A-Ning, who was concentrating on cleaning the murals, raised his head and cursed.

Wang Hao's face tightened, and he apologized embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, the accident ......"

A-Ning didn't bother to care about him, so he buried his head and continued to look at these murals.

Qin Wufu led Wang Hao to the niche in the middle of the circular staircase, and inside the niche was covered by a delicate windshield cover, and the cover was engraved with strange inscriptions, like ghost drawings.

The lantern at the edge of the circular abutment illuminates the invisible areas near the boulder pile, and the faint light in this alcove is refracted through the cover, illuminating the center of the staircase with a clear illumination.

There are some ancient characters carved on the niche, which looks quite simple and simple, Wang Hao used a wolf's eye flashlight to shine through, and the strong light of the flashlight could not penetrate the windshield, and the dark blue light inside was not affected at all.

Wang Hao sighed very rarely: "The workmanship of this lamp is good, the light of such a strong wolf's eye flashlight is not as powerful as other people's wicks." ”

Qin Wufu clapped his palms and didn't speak, but took off the four-corner eaves cover on the alcove very carefully, and then took out the windshield again, revealing the true face of the ghostly fire in the alcove.

I saw a translucent liquid flowing at the base of the alcove, the liquid was colorless and odorless, but it would involuntarily float in the pedestal, as if it was alive. Just above the transparent liquid, there was a dark blue fire burning, the fire light was strange, obviously burning itself, but there was no trace of warmth.

What made Wang Hao even more stunned was not only these, he observed that between the dark blue flame and the pool of liquid that could be lamp oil, there was no wick connection, and this lamp was burning out of thin air, completely floating in the niche and burning!

Qin Wufu explained lightly on the side: "This is the real everlasting lamp, no one knows how it is lit, but those who know know that this kind of everlasting lamp does exist, and nothing in the gold, wood, water, fire, and earth can extinguish it, and the existence of this flame is completely not in the five elements, and its principle can only be consulted by the ancients after death." ”

"It's really fake, then I'll try, if the lights go out, don't scold me for being a tyrannical thing." Wang Hao eagerly took a step closer towards the dark blue flame.

Call......

He blew on the flames, which shook from side to side a few times, but they didn't go out.

Huhuhuhu-

Wang Hao didn't believe it, and blew a few more breaths on it, and with a pop, the dark blue flame suddenly swelled, as if it was spewing out of the alcove, and Wang Hao saw the liquid in the pedestal for the last time emitting a circle of ripples, so his eyes turned red......

"I'm grass! You can really do it in a fancy way—"

Qin Wuwu pulled Wang Hao at a critical moment, and Wang Hao flashed quickly, the moment the flames erupted, only part of his eyebrows were burned, and then they returned to their original state, still the faint floating flames.

"Hey, what are you two burning on it, why does it smell burnt?"

A-Ning sniffed with the tip of his nose, raised his head against a thick layer of dust, and looked at the two of them.

Wang Hao waved his hand downward: "It's okay, I just roasted my hands just now......

A-Ning stared at him suspiciously, and lowered her head again, in the light of the candlelight, the two locks of hair around her eyebrows gently brushed her face in the wind, adding a bit of charm.

Turning his head, Wang Hao gritted his teeth and touched his eyebrows that were burned out of mush, picked up a handful of deposited ash from the staircase and sprinkled it, and after the uproar was exposed, the faint flame was still swaying and flickering, and there was no sign of extinguishing it.

Wang Hao was a little crazy: "This lamp is really evil, there is no reaction at all!" ”

"I told you, this is the everlasting lamp, if nothing else, this lamp has been on for more than a thousand years from the day the owner of the underground palace was buried to today." Qin useless said, "It's a pity that this lamp is extinguished when it takes out the underground palace, when the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang was excavated before, such an everlasting lamp was also found at the front of the terracotta warriors and horses, at that time archaeologists did not understand the everlasting lamp, and they were very excited to see such a lamp that did not go out after thousands of years, and the moment the lamp was removed from the tomb, the everlasting lamp that the wind could not pour and the water could not extinguish was extinguished on the spot, and since then this everlasting lamp has become an unsolved mystery. ”

After speaking, Qin Wufu walked around the staircase, turned around and asked, "Mouse, do you think this circular staircase statue is an altar?" ”

Wang Hao turned his head, carefully looked at the ever-bright lamps and dead people's bones on the altar, and nodded: "Don't say it, this place is ghostly, it really looks like a platform used by the ancients for sacrifice." ”
