Volume 1 Chapter 115: The Lamp of Immortality

After my eldest sister and I went up, I hurriedly asked Master Cao and them to come up, and I also observed the environment here.

I was surprised by the place above, unlike the ice cave where Master Cao and I jumped off, it was a large cave, wide enough for three or four heavy trucks to pass through.

The walls around the cave are full of immortal lanterns, the original color of the exterior has been completely oxidized, but the pattern is still very clear, and the exterior of these immortal lanterns is made of bronze.

As far as I can see, there are at least fifty or sixty immortal lamps on one side, each lamp is spaced two or three meters apart, and when I shine it with a flashlight, I can faintly see that there is a very tall staircase at the end.

It's not a good idea to say it's a staircase, it's like a ladder to the sky, because it's really high, even beyond the cave. However, because it is too far away, the irradiation range of the strong light flashlight is really limited, and you have to walk forward to see it clearly.

After making sure that there were no other threats here, I didn't bother to observe the surroundings anymore, but also went to help pull Master Cao and a few people up.

Fortunately, the butterflies are very good, and after we came up, the three of them easily shook off the man-eating kings in the water and grabbed the rope and went up here.

That's when I had the opportunity to ask them, "What the hell are those things in the water below, they look like dogs, but they look like kings." ”

Wen Nan still habitually pushed his glasses with the palm of his hand, and said: "That thing is called 'kappa' among the people, and it is very common in the ancient Jiangnan waters, and it is said that those kappa are the sons of the river god, and many fishermen can catch them when they are fishing." These kappa can eat anything, and they are almost overlord-level beings in the water, and then they gradually become extinct for some reason, and they are almost impossible to see...... But even when they were popular, they were only in groups of three or five, and it was unbelievable to see such a large group of kappa in this underground river. ”

I looked down at the 'Eight Kings' gathered at the bottom of the mountain wall, and thought to myself, how could there be such ugly kappa, even the kappa in mythological stories are at least good gods, but what the hell are they?

But what made me even more curious was the dried corpse riding a skeleton horse chasing the eldest sister and them, and when I asked, Wen Nan's expression was a little weird, and he looked like he wanted to say something.

He glanced at the butterfly, finally shook his head at me, and motioned for me to ask the eldest sister.

I looked at the eldest sister again, and the eldest sister sighed lightly: "I don't know exactly what that thing is, but if you can find the tomb owner here, you should be able to get the truth..... By the way, where did you and Master Cao run away in the stone figurine pit at that time? ”

I recounted what happened after they were separated from the eldest sister in the stone pit, and the eldest sister nodded and didn't speak again.

Seeing the eldest sister like this, I didn't ask the dry corpse on horseback again, but I couldn't help but think of Bai Sha, would he know what it was?

"Let's go inside, I've gone through so many twists and turns along the way, just to get to this place." The eldest sister looked into the depths of the cave and said quietly.

Before going in, I asked Wen Nan for some food, and then Master Cao and I devoured it.

After all, we were still too flustered, and the last thing we could afford to lose in the tomb was our equipment, but we threw it away again and again, and every time we faced a desperate situation because we lost our tools or food.

But the people brought by the eldest sister are physically better than us, not to mention, equipment is something they will never discard, so they don't have to say that they have lost food.

When we walked into the cave, Wen Nan tinkered with the edge of the wall and lit one of the immortal lamps with fire, and then all the immortal lamps on the left side of the cave slowly lit up one by one, and the immortal lanterns on the right wall Wen Nan repeated his old trick to make them all light up.

The lantern is also called the lantern, but people always like to mystify something that they can't explain, and over time it is often called the lantern.

There are many sayings about the longevity lamp, as the name suggests, the longevity lamp can be lit without extinguishing, even if it is extinguished by external factors, it can also be re-ignited, it is also called the fire that is not extinguished.

The lantern of immortality was mostly used in the tombs of kings, and they all hoped that they could be as brilliant as the palaces in their lifetimes.

However, the method of making the immortal lamp has long been lost, and no one can explain how the lamp oil burned in it is refined. After all, it is unreasonable to think that lamp oil will continue to burn for hundreds of years.

It's just that I am amazed that in a place like Kunlun Mountain, it is really novel to see the immortal lantern in the ancient tomb in the depths of the snow-capped mountain.

All the lanterns were lit, the whole cave was illuminated, and the layout inside was all in sight.

The cave was illuminated, and I realized that the cave was full of traces of man-made construction, and it was clear that the cave did not exist naturally, but was later opened up like this.

I am not exaggerating to describe it as a ladder, because it is really high and long, and I can't see the head at all from our position.

These artificially constructed steps, each step is no more than five meters long and five meters wide, and the higher you go, the steeper it becomes, and the construction is very irregular, and in the end I even wonder if it will become a right angle?

I looked at the reactions of the people around me and found that they were also shocked, and just like me, I didn't expect to see such a building in the Kunlun Mountains.

Master Cao sighed with emotion: "If Old Man Chen can come here, I'm afraid that you let him die here on the spot, he won't complain, and the information he saw in that silk book, I'm afraid he didn't expect to find such a terrifying building in Kunlun Mountain!" ”

"I don't know if Professor Chen is dead or not, Bai Sha was also there at the time, and with their friendship, they shouldn't stand idly by."

I nodded, with the relationship between Baisha and Master Cao, I wouldn't let those tomb leaders tear Professor Chen's hands apart in that situation.

I stopped thinking about Professor Chen, and looked at the immortal lamp on the wall, and I realized that there was a very hidden groove behind the lamp body, and this groove continued to the next immortal lamp, and so on.

This also made me understand how Wen Nan lit all these immortal lamps at once.

These lanterns are all connected by this groove, and the grooves should be filled with oil oil, as long as a lamp is lit, the oil in the groove next to it will burn to the next lamp.

However, digging such a regular groove in the mountain wall, and trying to find a way to ensure that the oil in it is effective for hundreds of years or even thousands of years, is indeed a difficult thing for modern technology to do.
