"It's amazing, it turns out that the ancient Chinese have mastered the technology of making two-layer bronzes more than 2,000 years ago, but why spend so much energy to make a double-walled bronze furnace? After all, it's just a lamp oil container? Lao K asked Yang Gang, this is also what I want to know. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

So Yang Gang continued to explain: "The Changming lamp is quite exquisite, the legend is that it is used to prevent the fire of the heavenly palace of ghosts and gods, the production process condenses the wisdom of the ancients, the utensils containing the lamp oil are double-layered, and the cooling water is installed between the mezzanine layers to cool the lamp oil, and a wick is placed in the center of the appliance, and the wick is soaked in vinegar in advance to maintain the low temperature of the wick and reduce the consumption of lamp oil, and these copper furnaces are made more specially, its double wall is completely sealed, and the cooling liquid such as water is permanently sealed inside, In this way, it will not evaporate, and the lantern can be used for a longer time. ”

Yang Gang said a lot of things, and I finally understood: "Indeed, this is the wisdom of the ancients, the wisdom of the future. ”

"And why the ever-bright lamp went out before the lamp oil was burned, it should be due to the lack of oxygen." Yang Gang glanced at the burning ever-bright lamp and said.

"This is an ever-bright lamp, then these lamp oils are made of mermaid paste, which is clearly recorded in the history books." I put my dagger into the buttery oil and picked it up a little to look closer, and moved it to my nose to smell it.

The lamp oil has a faint fishy smell, perhaps it is old, if it was estimated that the fishy smell was tangy.

"Even the "Historical Records" records the historical fact of using mermaid paste as an everlasting lamp, but it does not explain what mermaid paste is?" Yang Gang nodded in affirmation of what I said, and then sighed that the mermaid paste didn't know what it was.

"Mermaid paste, there are many sayings, from the literal meaning, it is naturally an ointment made of mermaids, but what mermaids are, no one knows, and guesses can't be determined." At this time, Zhang Botong also came over and said.

"Among them, there are salamanders (salamanders) and whale brains...... Despite the endless debates, the conclusion is difficult to determine, and some people even say that it is corpse oil. Yang Gang looked at the lump of grease I picked up, and couldn't help frowning, with a disgusting expression.

"Corpse oil?" As soon as Yang Gang's words mentioned the corpse oil, they couldn't help but make everyone feel creepy, and I couldn't help but stand up and stare at him in shock, hoping that he would explain something clearly.

Yang Gang pondered for a while, so he told us a history that we don't know yet, he said: "There is an instance of corpse oil being used to light sky lanterns, I heard that when Jingkang was in trouble in the Northern Song Dynasty, the Jin State captured Song Huizong and Song Qinzong, and arrived in the northern country, the two Northern Song Dynasty emperors suffered humiliation, and Song Huizong even killed the enemy country, and was casually dug a pit by the Jin army......"

"A generation of Great Song emperors, a generation of artists were hastily buried like this?" Old K interjected when he was uncomfortable.

I glared at Old K and said, "If I were you, I would sigh after listening to the story." ”

Yang Gang also glanced at the old K who couldn't understand the situation, and then continued: "The Jin people dug the pit not to bury Song Huizong, but to throw him into the pit and burn him, and let Song Qin watch from the sidelines, what is even more hateful and cruel is that the Jin people did not cremate Song Huizong, but waited until they were halfway burned, and ordered people to pour water on the charred corpse and the pit, and then a layer of oil immediately floated on the water surface, that is, corpse oil. He told him that he could not jump into the pit, and that it would be difficult to light the sky lantern if the oil was dirty, and told Song Qin Song that when he died, he would also use his corpse oil to light the sky lantern. ”

"Does lighting the sky lantern have anything to do with the ever-bright lantern?" I couldn't think of the connection between the two for a moment and asked, but I immediately came to my senses, "Oh - you're saying that the corpse oil used to light the sky lantern and the lamp oil used for the ever-bright lamp are the same thing, and it's also corpse oil." ”

Yang Gang nodded: "At least it shows that the corpse oil can be lit." ”

"Isn't that cruel, refining oil from corpses and then using them to light lamps, even if it's a dead person, this practice is too inhumane." Shangguan Yaxiong saw us gathered together to discuss, and also came over to join us.

"These are all speculations, so what kind of grease do you think this is?" I took another look at the lump of lamp oil picked out by the dagger in my hand and asked Yang Gang.

"Bring me to smell it?" Yang Gang reached out to me for a dagger.

I handed the dagger to Yang Gang, who took the ointment and put it in front of his nose and sniffed it a few times, but in the end he was still not sure, so he simply took off the gas mask and sniffed the lamp oil again.

"There is a fishy smell, which can be determined to be animal fat." Yang Gang told us after smelling it.

I frowned and asked helplessly, "Does that have anything to do with corpse oil?" ”

"Wait." Yang Gang said, handing the lamp oil carried by the dagger to his mouth, we looked at it, immediately turned our heads away from looking, and there were bursts of disgusting sounds in our mouths.

"Hmm-" Yang Gang let out a sound, and then kept spitting, obviously he had tasted it, his mouth was not clean, and he tried to wash his mouth clean with saliva, so he kept spitting out dirty saliva, we turned around and looked at Yang Gang's twisted facial features, his expression was quite ugly, as if he had just eaten a lump of rat, oh no, he should have eaten something more disgusting than rat.

"How?" I feel uncomfortable, and I feel sorry for Yang Gang.

Yang Gang took water, rinsed his mouth a few times, and still felt that his mouth was not clean, and said to me while spitting: "There is no doubt about corpse oil, human." ”

Yang Gang said that, even a few mercenaries found a place to vomit by themselves, but Yang Gang was able to hold it without nausea and vomiting.

My stomach twitched, but I couldn't help but not vomit it, and then the question reappeared, and I asked him: "Corpse oil, in fact, lard is also counted, lard will only condense into paste when the ambient temperature is low, and now the temperature is not low, how can it still coagulate into paste." ”

"The temperature in the underground palace is constant all year round, although the temperature is not very low, but it is lower than the outside world, and they are more than two thousand years old, or maybe some special substances are added to the corpse oil, and it is not surprising that it is now in the form of a paste." Yang Gang then explained.

At this moment, listening to Yang Gang's introduction, and remembering the picture of him just trying corpse oil in person, I can't help but start to doubt this feng shui master again, he must not be as simple as a feng shui master, at least he has been to a big tomb, and he is also a tomb robber, and more than once.

"Yang Gang, it seems that I have to get to know you again?" I have something to say to Yang Gang, I believe we know each other.

And Yang Gang also replied to me meaningfully: "When the time comes, you will know me." ”

"Since it's human corpse oil, why is it called mermaid cream? Is the lamp oil in the trough also this kind of oil? Shangguan Yaxiong frowned and asked in contemplation.

When it comes to the lamp oil in the fire trough, no one has paid attention to it, and no one has opened the fire trough to study the lamp oil.

"Judging by the fact that lamp oil is so resistant to burning, it should also be corpse oil." Yang Gang wrote his answer lightly.
