Chapter 27: Immortality
On the way, Sun Da told us the origin of the firefly, but if we want to talk about the firefly, we have to say Zhurong first. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Controlling the fireworm is a strategy used by Zhu Rong to attack Chi You, who was forced to hide in a cave in the hill of Li Mountain, because of the complex terrain inside, none of the people sent by Zhu Rong survived. Just when Zhu Rong was helpless, a firefly suddenly flew from the side of the sky, or how could Zhu Rong be the god of fire, he directly controlled the firefly into the cave, and the hero couldn't stand the crowd, no matter how powerful he was, he couldn't parry the swarms of fireflies, so Chiyou and his party entered the cave and never came out again.
This Zhu Rong is also a careerist, he knows the power of fireflies and deliberately cultivates them to control fireflies. The eggs of the fireflies are selected and sacrificed with the fire barrier until they hatch, and the new generation is the real fireworm at that time.
The Book of Mountains and Seas and the Romance of the Gods record that Zhou Mountain was knocked down by the head of the water god Gonggong, in fact, it is not all like this, according to rumors, Zhu Rong burned Buzhou Mountain, the fire is a barrier fire, and the fire is to control the fireworm.
"Comrade Zhu Rong is practicing individualism in doing so, and engaging in individualism on the battlefield will be infamous." Yu Houtu flashed a flashlight to illuminate the road ahead.
Wang Meng shook his head and said: "Not really, there is a person named Zhu Rong in history, he has been close to the fire since he was a child, and at that time he was the only one who could save the fire, and he could play with the fire in applause when he was very young."
"It's not as fairy as you say, is it?" I admit that a trip to the tomb of King Jin has indeed changed my worldview, but it would be too far-fetched to say that there are immortals in this world.
"In this world, we humans have only excavated a little bit of skin, and there are too many unbelievable things to understand." Shizuko took two steps and continued: "In your Qing Dynasty in China, there was a man named Li Qingyuan who lived for 265 years, and he has always been in good health and health, even at the age of 200, his words and deeds are still comparable to those of middle-aged people, and he was called "immortal" by the people at that time. ”
"He can only live for a long time, and it has nothing to do with the word immortal." I really don't know if there is such a person in history.
Shizuko smiled and said, "Isn't it a god who can live for more than 200 years?"
When Shizuko said this, I was speechless, but Yu Houtu thought about it and said, "Do you think that there are really people in this world who can live forever?"
As soon as this guy opened his mouth, I knew that he must have thought of the mural on the top of the tomb before, so I kicked him and said, "Zhu Rong burned his body with fire and was reborn in Nirvana, that's just an allusion, don't clean up these things all day long."
"Then why are so many emperors in history seeking immortality?" Wang Lei's words choked me.
If there are 500 emperors in history, 490 of whom have sought immortality, the remaining 10 are probably the so-called rare. Of the 490 emperors, 450 died under the attack of erysipelas, and the remaining 40 were also suicides committed by monks. People often say that if you don't listen to the old man, you will suffer in front of you, but after the death of the emperor of the previous dynasty, in the eyes of the emperor of the next dynasty, it is his dragon vein exhausted, and then he thinks that he has more destiny than the emperor of the previous dynasty, and then walks into the footsteps.
It's true that the pursuit is your own, but you also have to bear the consequences. Here we have to focus on the Tang Dynasty, it is said that after Li Yuan became the emperor, he listened to the slander of the warlock and took the pill of home remedies and thought that he could live forever, but he died within a few days. Let's talk about Li Shimin, Li Shimin successfully seized power and took the throne after the Xuanwumen mutiny, not only did he take his final death as a warning, but also regarded those Jianghu warlocks as guests, and then took Li Yuan's old path. and Li Zhi, you said that Lao Tzu and the old man both died on the road to immortality, and he still regarded this as the favor of God, but accidentally the grandfather and grandson were reunited.
As for Qin Shi Huang's order for Xu Fu to go to Penglai Immortal Island to find immortality, it has long been rotten, but this also indirectly proves the temptation of immortality to people.
It is said that people always see through life and death, but in fact, the older people are, the more afraid they are of death. If you divide a person's life into four stages, you can see that teenagers are carefree about reading and writing, young people are ambitious and always want to have a chance to break through it, middle-aged people have dreams of youth but social blows are bruised all over their bodies, and elderly children and grandchildren are full of younger generations who are responsible for giving money and themselves are responsible for killing time can also be understood as carefree.
There are two carefree here, the first is because I was young and didn't know how to cherish it, and the last one is that my body can't keep up when I want to cherish it. Therefore, the older people get, the more afraid they are of death, and they always think that time will be slower and slower, and as a result, they will not know anything after they live.
"This King of Jin is probably a person who pretends to be high and single-mindedly seeks immortality." I think so, from cinnabar mercury to Zhurong Nirvana, and then from the mountain monkey to the fireworm just now, which one is not related to immortality, of course, the mountain monkey and the fireworm can only be said to be another kind of immortality.
"Oops! I said you're all far away, don't forget that we're here to fight, and now is not the time for you to talk about immortality here. Sanniang frowned, a little displeased.
After Sanniang so much, we thought of the current situation, from the original twelve people to the current nine, three died under the fire, and the crippled Yankee was also among them.
"I said that this ancient person would really enjoy it even if he died, and a coffin board would make do with it, why do you have to make such a big show." Yu Houtu complained.
I glanced at Yu Houtu and said angrily: "How can we make a fortune without such a big show?"
"It seems to be the same thing...... Yu Houtu scratched his head with a smile.
"Cheer up, there's a niche in front of you." Wang Meng turned around and instructed. Wang Lei, although they didn't speak, they all became vigilant, who knows what moths will come out of places that they have not set foot in.
When we left the Ghost Hand Vine Mother, our vision became the same as before, but fortunately the flashlight didn't strike, otherwise we would really have to take one step as a three-step walk.
Looking at the size of this burial chamber, it is estimated that there must be a lot of small niches, although we wolves have more meat and less meat, but how mosquito legs are also meat.
It's another turn, there are a few ever-bright lamps hanging around the corner, but the lamp oil inside has long been burned out, and there are no thousand-year-old tombs lit with lamps that have burned for thousands of years.
The reason why the ever-bright lamp is called the ever-bright lamp is that the ever-bright lamp is always bright, and the ever-bright night shines brightly. The meaning of this is simply to use the everlasting lamp as a guiding light, so that the lonely soul of death can forget the earth, and under the guidance of the everlasting lamp, he will successfully arrive at the underworld to report to the Lord of Yama.
The second is that this ever-bright lamp is originally a long-lasting lamp, and the lamp oil in it is refined from biological oil in the deep sea, and the most commonly used is whale fat, because its oil is far thicker than that of other organisms, and it is also fire-resistant and flame-resistant.
For those with a little status, the ever-bright lamp in their tomb can generally be burned for several years, and at worst it can remain unextinguished for three months. But the King of Jin is not a little status, although the power of the Jin Kingdom was very weak at that time, but he is also an emperor, and the funeral goods are so luxurious, how can the lantern and the like drop the grade, not to mention that it will not be extinguished for a hundred years, at least it can be burned for a few decades.
Another point is that people's self-comfort psychology is at fault, the ancients they thought that the everlasting lamp is not only a lighting lamp, but also represents the meaning of immortality, even if you can't live forever in the world, you can never die in the underworld, often the more high-status people in their tombs, the more everlasting lights they have in their tombs, and the burning time is also very long.
When the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang was dug up, there were hundreds of lanterns inside, and it was only a corner of the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, after all, the bones of Qin Shi Huang had not been found. The number of years that the lantern in the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang burned was unimaginable in the eyes of those laymen, and it was judged by experts to be at least more than four or five hundred years burning.
What is the concept? That's four or five centuries!
The last point is to climb relatives, the world only knows that there are ten halls of the king of Yama and the king of Jizo, but they don't know that there is an everlasting lamp king at the head of the bridge, which is often called the emperor of Lechuan. According to ancient records, this Changming Lantern King was a wild cat when he was alive, and when he died, he didn't know what the reason was but he refused to cross the bridge, standing at the head of the Lechuan River for hundreds of years, and witnessed Meng's sister-in-law gradually becoming Meng Po.
After Sun Da finished speaking, I began to think in my heart about what this Everbright Lantern King had been looking at for hundreds of years, and then I thought about it, could it be that I saw a mouse?
But then I thought about it, right? This Changming Lantern King shouldn't be called Emperor Lichuan, he boiled Meng's sister-in-law into Meng Po, and he should be called Wang's sister-in-law to become Emperor Wangpo, right?
I spat twice and shook my head vigorously because I didn't dare to think about it any further, I really didn't know what was going on in my head all day long.
To get back to the point, although this King of Jin is not an emperor through the ages, he is not comparable to ordinary people, basically there is an ever-bright lamp every two steps, and the lampstand is also carved dragons, phoenixes, ghosts and gods.
When we passed by the first niche, we didn't say anything polite to King Jin, and directly ping-pong swept away the contents of the contents. The niche is actually a small pit, and it can't hold a few funeral goods to die, and the only few things are worthless things. Wang Lei and these professionals can't look down on them, and Shizuko also didn't care about it after sweeping his eyes twice, and the remaining two Yankees had red eyes in their eyes, but Yu Houtu glared at them one by one and gave them the two of them honestly.
I smiled while loading things into my backpack, and Yu Houtu was even more exaggerated, and the red light on my face almost didn't get excited.
But when I picked up another piece of jade pendant, an unexpected scene happened, if I could be given a chance to do it again, I would rather not touch anything, or even choose to stay away from Luoyang City, because my unintentional move directly changed the fate of me and Yu Houtu......
