Chapter 109: Coffin Mushroom
"It's not an exaggeration, is it? Can it really burn hundreds of thousands without going out?" I looked at the beautifully made lamp in front of me, still a little unconvinced.
"The first emperor ascended the throne at the beginning, wore the Li Mountain, and the world, the world sent more than 700,000 people, wore three springs, went down to the copper and caused the coffin, the palace view of the hundred officials and strange weapons, and the migration was full. Let the craftsman make a crossbow arrow, and shoot those who are close. With mercury as the rivers and seas, the machine is instilled, with astronomy and geography. With mermaid paste as a candle, the one who will not be extinguished will last for a long time. ”
"These are all recorded in historical materials, do you think I made them up randomly?" Wang Meng said in a low voice, these historical records are newbies, although I didn't understand how he meant by such a big paragraph, but I grabbed the last sentence.
With mermaid paste as a candle, the one who will not be extinguished will last for a long time. It means that this everlasting lamp is made of mermaid fat, so it can be bright and inextinguishable, right?
"Okay, I'm going to go to the dungeon later, I'll tell you first, there are many mechanisms in the ancient tomb, don't touch it out of curiosity, it looks like an inconspicuous little thing may be quenched with venom, you know?"
Wang Meng looked at me with a serious expression, and while pulling me down the escalator carefully, he told me seriously.
"I know, I know, I know, why didn't I find out, why did you talk so much?" I agreed, but my eyes looked around.
I have to say that this underground palace is really magnificent, under the illumination of the ever-bright lamp, although the whole underground palace is not very bright, but there is also a trace of light source, and you can better see the surrounding scenery.
I followed Wang Meng's footsteps to a small stone room, the walls of the stone room were carved flat and neat, and I knew at a glance that it must have taken a lot of craftsmen to build this underground palace.
"Isn't there a big road over there, why don't you go there, go to this little room?" I saw with my sharp eyes that there was a wide corridor in front of me, which looked smooth and wide, and although it was a little darker, it was easier to walk than this cramped stone room.
"What stone room, this is the ear room, do you think that road looks so easy to walk? It looks smooth, you don't know how many poisoned arrows and hidden weapons are hidden underneath, right?"
Wang Meng glanced at me, then took my hand tightly, and led me to the seemingly inconspicuous stone room wall, only to see him stretch out his hand to rub the wall a few times, and soon, the wall of the stone room cracked a one-person high opening, and then a narrow corridor appeared.
"If I'm not mistaken, we'll be able to get to the main burial chamber from this passage. Be careful. Wang Meng tightened my hand and motioned for me to follow in his footsteps.
At this time, I looked at the dark corridor, and I didn't say anything, my heart was beating suddenly, I nodded, and followed behind Wang Meng obediently.
Soon, we passed through this dark corridor and came to a larger room, Wang Meng was right, I quacked out of the corridor, and saw a huge dark red coffin placed on a high platform in the stone room.
This coffin is much larger than ordinary coffins, at least twice as large as ordinary coffins, I just wanted to go up to see what the coffin looks like, but was stopped by Wang Meng.
"Don't come here yet, I'll take a look. “
Saying that, Wang Meng slowly approached the coffin, and I didn't see what he was doing when I looked left and right.
"Do you want me to light a candle in the southeast, northwest and northwest corners to see if the candlelight will turn green?" At this time, I suddenly remembered the passages in film and television dramas and horror novels.
"Light the candles?" Wang Meng heard my words, turned around in surprise and asked me.
"Don't you know? Light a candle in the tomb, if the candle turns green we are in danger, if it doesn't turn green we are fine. "At this time, I moved out of the film and television drama to tell Wang Meng.
Sure enough, seeing Wang Meng stunned and not speaking, I suddenly felt a sense of accomplishment, Xiaoxiao, you finally have something you don't know.
However, when I hadn't been proud for long, Wang Meng suddenly smiled at me and then spoke.
"One of the most plausible explanations for the flame turning green is because the candle contains copper or barium impurities. The flame reaction of copper is blue-green, and the flame reaction of barium is yellow-green, you are a college student, don't you even know this?"
After listening to what Wang Meng said, it was my turn to be stunned, what he said was not wrong, for me who had studied chemistry, this truth was very easy to understand.
However, what makes me wonder is, how could Wang Meng, an ancient person, know this?
"Are you curious how I know this? When I first came into this world, I quickly learned your now simplified Chinese characters and vernacular, all of which I learned through books and television. “
"Oh, by the way, and these outfits, it's interesting, and that's what I learned on TV, the modern world is really good, it's advanced. “
Wang Meng patted my head lightly as he spoke, and then walked to the coffin again and didn't know what to study.
However, at this time, I was stunned and didn't know what to do? Wang Meng, so powerful? By self-study, he learned the language and knowledge that we have been learning for more than ten years? Is he still a human being?
Oh. He's not human, he's a ghost, I forgot, are even ghosts so powerful now? Think about your brain circuitry. Maybe in a hundred years, even ghosts are not worthy to be beyond, cry!
After thinking about it a lot, I accepted the fact that I was not as good as Wang Meng, forget it, there is a gap between people and people, and so are people and ghosts.
Thinking of this, I was immediately relieved, shook my head, and didn't plan to think about it, of course, Wang Meng's words also dispelled the idea that I wanted to light candles in the four corners of the tomb, feudal superstition~
"Jiang Xin, come here, bring a piece of yellow table paper. “
When I was stunned, Wang Meng looked up at me and spoke up.
I stared at him for a long time before I noticed the location of the coffin in front of him, and I don't know when a mushroom appeared.
To be exact, a blood-red mushroom the size of my palm, a moire mushroom, could it be a coffin mushroom?
"Don't be stunned, hurry up. Wang Meng saw that I was stunned, and opened his mouth to urge me again.
I hurriedly rummaged through my bag for a long time and took out a stack of red paper and came to Wang Meng.
"You cover your hand with yellow paper and take it off carefully. Wang Meng whispered to me.
"Is this the coffin mushroom?" I asked in a whisper as Wang Meng said.
Wang Meng didn't speak, just nodded at me while telling my heart, it seems that this trip is not a loss, and I really found the coffin mushroom.
After carefully taking out the coffin mushroom according to Wang Meng's method, I wrapped the coffin mushroom tightly with yellow table paper and put it in the bag.
After doing all this, Wang Meng asked me to sprinkle a little cinnabar in the place where the coffin mushroom was taken, I didn't ask him what it was for, but I knew that he must have his intentions in doing so.
I'm just wondering, why didn't he take the coffin mushroom himself when he saw it? I just saw it clearly, and he was able to touch the coffin mushroom.
"Why do you use yellow paper?" I couldn't help but ask on the way out of the tomb after sprinkling cinnabar.
"Although the coffin mushroom is a thing of the most yin, it is completely different from the yin qi on my body, if I go to take it, it will inevitably mix the coffin mushroom with other yin qi, so that it will have an impact on its efficacy, and the yellow table paper can just separate it from the outside world, it's as simple as that. “
Wang Meng walked behind me and patiently answered for me.
To be honest, I also listened to the general meaning, so I nodded in confusion, but when I just walked to the ear room, I heard a very noisy voice, this voice was not from me, nor from Wang Meng......
I turned to look at Wang Meng, and it was obvious that Wang Meng had also heard this voice, and he didn't speak, just motioned for me to be silent.
So, we hid in the corner of the ear chamber and began to hold our breath and listen carefully to where the sound was coming from.
"It seems that someone is already ahead of us. "A young female voice came to my ears, there really was someone.
"This group of people should be the group of people we saw traces outside, they are also coming for this ancient tomb, you put away the coffin mushrooms, let's wait for a while, it's best not to clash head-on, of course, if we run into it, we don't have to be afraid. “
Wang Meng's voice came to my ears, and my eyes were still staring at the corridor outside, if that group of people were smart enough, they would also guess that the wide corridor was full of organs, and they would definitely find our ear room, and when the time came, there would inevitably be conflicts.
As I thought, I hugged my bag tightly in my arms and unzipped up my jacket.
"Don't be nervous. Just as I was nervously staring outside, Wang Meng's hand gently put on my shoulder, patting me and comforting me.
I nodded, the tense heartstrings calmed down for the time being, I can't escape, I just hope that this group of people is not coming for the coffin mushroom.
I thought to myself, while paying attention to the movement outside, I have to say, sometimes I am really afraid of something, the more I think about them not to go out of the ear room, the clearer I hear the footsteps gradually approaching.
After hearing the voice, a thought suddenly came to my mind, don't I have an invisibility charm?
Thinking of this, I hurriedly began to rummage through the invisibility charm in my bag, and after rummaging for a long time, I finally found the crumpled invisibility charm that I had rubbed in the corner.
