Chapter 818: Mirage
Oh, speaking of this, I want to explain, inside Qimen Dunjia, the five elements of the heavenly stem branch or something, most of them are used comprehensively, usually, in the sequence of the formation, there are "East A B Wood, South Bingding Fire, West Gengxin Jin, North Non Hui Shui, Middle Wuji Earth" These five palaces, the outside is closed with eight doors, and there are thousands of changes.
And, the palace in the center, called the middle palace, is also the key to the formation. In the past, in the battle formation in the art of war, those who sat in this position were all commanders, and most of the things to be guarded in the strange layout of the traps were here.
This Murong Hao should be a person with a darker heart, no one would have thought that he would leave a fierce beast to guard in the most critical place, judging from the records on the stone wall, the fierce beast that resembles a dragon is indeed not a Jiao, but it can barely be regarded as a dragon, and its real name is called Mirage.
What is mirage, in the past, was controversial, when I first came into contact with this word, I found it from a Xinhua dictionary, this word, called "mirage".
Mirage, explained from a scientific point of view, is a natural phenomenon formed by the refraction and total reflection of light, and is a virtual image formed by the refraction of light reflected by objects on the earth through the refraction of the atmosphere. It is said that back then, Qin Shi Huang was obsessed with the way of immortality, because he accidentally saw such a scene on the seaside, at that time, in mid-air, pavilions and pavilions stood in the middle, there were pedestrians, there were horses, just like the mortal.
At that time, people did not understand the mirage, so they regarded this situation as the legendary scene on the overseas immortal mountain, and this experience also made Qin Shi Huang, who had experienced this with his own eyes, convinced of the existence of immortals, so there was a strange thing about Xu Fu's eastward crossing.
In reality, there is a difference between a "mirage" and a mirage, and although both are illusory landscapes, the causes are completely different.
Usually, we often say "mirage", refers to the "mirage", which is indeed a special scenery produced by the refraction of light on the atmosphere, but the mirage, but it is completely different, legend has it, the mirage is a mirage created by this creature, in ancient times, the coastal or the edge of the river lived fishermen believed that in the sand, there is a powerful creature, this thing, called "mirage".
Some people believe that mirage is a very large clam, and some people believe that mirage is a kind of dragon, and the full name is mirage.
Regardless of the opinion on this, basically, those who admit the existence of such a thing believe that this is a creature that can spit out fog when it is fine, and through the fog that comes out of its mouth, it can create an extremely realistic mirror image in the sky.
Most believe that this has something to do with its habits, and it is rumored that the mirage is not born that big, and it also has a process of growth.
According to legend, when the size of the mirage is relatively small, this thing, the favorite food, is the swallow in the sky, that is, we often say swifts, this kind of swallows, like to make a nest under the eaves, as soon as they see the pavilions, they can't help but stick up, at this time, the mirage can hide in the dark corner to watch, and as soon as they take the bait, they will rush over and eat the swallows.
It is said that when Murong Hao was the emperor, on his birthday, a coastal local official offered a very magical candle, this kind of candle is very large, I don't know what animal oil is extracted, as long as it is lit on a rainy day, it can be illuminated around the candle, and create a lifelike illusion.
At that time, the people thought it was very magical, Murong Hao also asked the officials under his hands, who knew the source of this candle, as soon as these words came out, one, a very famous old minister at the time said, although he was not sure, but, doubtful, this thing, not an object in the world, should, summon the magistrate who came to pay tribute, and asked to understand, in case, there is any heavenly revelation or the like, if you miss it, there will be no chance.
Murong Hao felt that there seemed to be some truth in what he said, so he did according to the old minister's suggestion, and when the magistrate was recruited, Murong Hao asked him, saying, How did you make this candle from the tribute? After hearing this, the other party said that in his jurisdiction, there was an old man who fished, and this old man, whose family was poor and could not pay taxes, but he had a very strange ability, that is, he could make this kind of candle, and every few years, he could make some.
The magistrate felt that the candle was very magical, and he took pity on him, and he had no one to rely on, and did not want to embarrass him, so he collected it as a tax, and paid tribute to the palace as a local specialty.
After listening to this story, Murong Hao felt that it was quite interesting, so he asked the other party how this old man made candles, but the magistrate didn't know much about it, and he couldn't say why. During that period, Murong Hao was relatively leisurely, and when he saw that the other party was really unclear, he didn't embarrass him, but instead found an opportunity to pay a private visit to the people, and wanted to find out.
When he took his personal guards to find the old man, he found that the old man was rowing a small boat out to sea, on the boat, carrying two pheasants, the pheasants are alive, not big, it seems, only a month or two of chicks, this thing, was sealed in by the old man with a pipe with many holes, and it was impossible to come out.
At that time, Murong Hao, pretending to be a businessman, invited a boat to follow, and when he got closer, he asked the old man what the jar was used for.
When the other party heard this, he looked up and down, and then knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Murong Hao, Murong Hao saw it, was slightly stunned, and immediately asked him why he was like this, but the old man said that when the Son of Heaven arrived, he should be like this.
Let him say this, Murong Hao and the guards were all stunned, you look at me, I look at you, ask the old man, and say, how did you see it, the other party heard this, but said with a smile, Murong Qiren has the appearance of the son of heaven, surrounded by dragon energy, and is by no means comparable to idle people, and the emperor who is alive and easy.
