193 Saltpeter, he added saltpeter! (Ask for subscription, ask for follow-up)

Wang Qiang was a soldier in the snow area and saw the horror of "hypothermia" with his own eyes.

Qian Sheng in front of him has reached the most serious situation, and he has begun to hallucinate, and if he is not effectively treated, his life will be in danger at any time.

"Money shopkeeper, money shopkeeper, wake up, don't you dare to sleep!"

The continuous shaking, coupled with the fact that Wang Qiang had been rubbing his chest and limbs through his clothes, had somewhat improved.

"Master Wang. Have we arrived in the Netherworld? ”

"No, let's go to the door and let Lord Yama rush back, saying that we won't be in time, and we won't accept a few of us."

Qian Sheng's lips moved, he wanted to say something but didn't say anything, his eyes closed, and he fainted.

"Money shopkeeper, money shopkeeper! Lao Lin, save him. ”

Lin Yi took out the silver needle from his bag, but his hands were shaking badly, like an Alzheimer's patient.

In this case, it is impossible to pierce the acupuncture points no matter what, and you can only use both hands to barely control the strength of your fingers and wrists.

"Open chest!"

"Oh!"

Wang Qiang stretched out his hand to pry Qian Sheng's clothes open, Lin Yi applied needles with both hands, and a "soul rejuvenation needle" pierced down, and Qian Sheng's whole body suddenly stiffened.

The green tendons on his neck burst out.

The expression on his face was extremely distorted, and he could see that this needle really made him feel pain.

Immediately afterwards, he heard a "crunch" in his throat, and the whole person instantly went limp, his eyes slowly opened, and his lips trembled, as if he had regained a little consciousness.

"Great, finally woke up."

"It's not a stopgap measure, and if you want to get him out of hypothermia, you have to get him out of this cold environment as soon as possible."

"The money shopkeeper will hand it over to me, you quickly find a way, let us get out of here, and after a while, we will all die here!"

After that, Wang Qiang picked up Qian Sheng on his back and began to run laps in this small space, using the heat generated by his exercise to warm Qian Sheng.

Lin Yi nodded, put the flashlight under his armpit, and began to look for all kinds of clues little by little.

When he calmed down, he realized that the so-called portrait of the angry-eyed King Kong on the wall was actually the Four Heavenly Kings of Buddhism.

In the eyes of ordinary people, the images of these four are mainly from the classical mythology "Journey to the West" and "Romance of the Gods".

The "Four Heavenly Kings" are even more well-known than the name of the "Four Demon Generals".

Their identity is the protector of Buddhism, and the Dharma weapons they hold are also deeply rooted in the hearts of the people because of the fabrication of these episodes.

Southern Growth Heavenly King: Holding the sword, because the sword has a edge, so the homonym is "wind".

Oriental Holding the Heavenly King: Holding the pipa, because the pipa can tune out, the meaning is "tune".

The king of heaven in the north: holding a silver rat and a treasure umbrella, because the umbrella can cover the rain, it represents "rain".

Western Wide-eyed Heavenly King: Hand wrapped around the snake, which means dragon and snake Sishun, meaning "Shun".

In fact, during the Tang Dynasty, the names, images, and ritual weapons of these four heavenly kings were different from those described in later generations.

Among the relief statues of the heavenly kings unearthed in the underground palace of Famen Temple, the four heavenly kings of Buddhism made their collective appearance for the first time:

Dongfang Tou Laizha Heavenly King: Holds a sword in both hands;

King of the Southern Vilo Boyi: Holding a sword in his left hand;

King of the Western Pilaureyi: Holds a bow in his left hand and an arrow in his right hand;

The Great Sage of the North, the Heavenly King of Bishamen: Tota in his left hand, and a sword in his right hand.

The shapes of the four of them are very similar to those on the ice mural in the stone chamber where Lin Yige and his wife are now.

And among the four heavenly kings, only the northern heavenly king, Bishamen Heavenly King, has the most special identity.

According to the record of "Bishamen Ritual", in the first year of Tianbao of Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty, the feudal states surrounded Xiliang City, and the border pass was in an emergency.

Tang Xuanzong asked Master Bukong Sanzang to recite the "Nioh Sutra" and practice the blessings.

When the mage was practicing the Fa, at the north gate of the trapped city, the Heavenly King and the immeasurable divine soldiers appeared noisily in the clouds and mist, and a group of golden rats bit off the enemy's bowstrings and instruments, and the border pass was successful.

Therefore, Tang Xuanzong issued an edict, ordering all the Taoist festivals and the state capital to place the image of the king in the northwest corner of the city, and the Buddhist temple was also placed in a separate courtyard.

Therefore, Bishamentian was especially respected by the Tang Army and regarded as the god of war.

Wearing heavy armor and holding a sword and holding a half-seated image of Bishamentian, often drawn on the flag, called "Tianwang Flag", in order to show the meaning of protecting the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty.

The image of this King Bishamen was also finally used in the body of King Tota Li.

And took the name of Li Jing, a great military strategist of the Tang Dynasty, for his use.

Lin Yi only noticed at this time that the area of the portrait of Bishamen in the north was larger than that of the other three.

In order to highlight his special status.

His portrait is unique, so there must be a special mark on his body.

Lin Yi stepped forward, held a flashlight and carefully observed, and had to keep stepping under his feet to circulate blood.

The flashlight beam rested in the center of the crown of the King of Bishamon, and it appeared to be inlaid with a fan-shaped gemstone.

The silhouettes of these statues are all connected to each other, somewhat similar to "one-stroke paintings", so that after the water vapor condenses into water droplets, it slowly frosts along the previously carved ravines and outlines the pattern.

The only fan-shaped gem set in the crown was a solitary entity, only covered in frost by the fine lines around it.

At first glance, there is nothing peculiar about it, but when you compare it with the crowns of the other three, you can see the difference.

Fan!

When Lin Yi saw this pattern, he couldn't help but feel a shock in his heart.

In the "Dark Eight Immortals", the fan is Han Zhongli's magic weapon.

In reality, the fan is also a necessary "artifact" for cooling and relieving the heat, and it seems that this senior really means something and has good intentions.

But in the current situation, isn't this cool a little cool?

Without thinking too much, Lin Yi flashed a flashlight and shone it on the top of the statue of the Heavenly King of Bishamen, and found that at the corner between the wall and the top of his head, there was a layer of white powder crystals sandwiched in it.

He took out the Flying Tiger's claws, flicked his arms, and after moving all his joints and wrists, he threw his claws at them.

Retracted his paws, twisted the powder on his hands, put it under his nose and sniffed it.

Suddenly, his eyes widened.

"Saltpeter! It's saltpeter! ”

This kind of thing often appeared in the corner of the old earthen house, and saltpeter in nature is often formed by the decomposition of nitrogen-containing organic matter in the soil under the action of bacteria, oxidized into nitric acid, and potassium in the soil.

In ancient times, there were Taoist priests who used it as a raw material for alchemy and an important ingredient in the manufacture of gunpowder.

In the Tang Dynasty, in addition to the above uses, saltpeter also had an important use:

Ice Making!

Because they found that when saltpeter dissolves in water, it will quickly absorb a large amount of heat in the water, and it can also make the water freeze, so there is the saltpeter ice method.

Of course, saltpeter is so special that ordinary people can't afford to use it because of its particularity and huge consumption.

For the royal family, it was not a big problem at all.
