Chapter 52 The Undying Mermaid Oil Lamp

There was no air circulation in the tomb passage, and the area in front of the stone gate was filled with that pungent sour gas for a while. In order to avoid inhaling poisonous gas, the archaeological team carefully walked up a few steps of the tomb passage as far as possible away from the Shimen area, and watched helplessly. The cloud patterns disappeared, Luo Qing slapped his thigh distressedly, and kept mumbling: "It's ruined again, it's ruined again, Stonehenge was destroyed before, and now the tomb gate is destroyed..."

Xie Chun was annoyed by Luo Qing's muttering, and retorted: "How can we get in if we don't destroy it? Stonehenge blocked the tomb passage before, so how can we get in if we don't blow it up?"

Luo Qing immediately poked his neck back and said, "Why do you want to come in? Wouldn't it be nice to let Yin Tomb sleep here peacefully? Why do you want to break this tranquility? In the final analysis, it is you who have plans for Yin Tomb!"

What Luo Qing said was straightforward and merciless, and he directly naturalized Xie Chun into the group of mercenaries. Obviously, he also saw that Xie Chun and those mercenaries were in the same group. A few students disagree at all.If it was said that Luo Qing was still holding on to camping at first because he wanted to borrow guns from those mercenaries for fun, now that the facts are in front of him, he has completely seen through this point, but it is not too late to see through it now.

Xie Chun was hit by the words, so he stared, and he simply didn't hide it, sneered, and asked blatantly: "So what?"

The veins on Luo Qing's neck tingled from anger.

Those mercenaries have guns, and besides, there is no danger waiting in Yin's tomb, students like them can't protect themselves, and they have to count on these mercenaries, fearing that Luo Qing's stubborn temper will come up and conflict with those mercenaries, Yue Zhou He hurriedly acted like a good guy and got in between the two of them, and joined forces with Wei Yufei to drag the stubborn Luo Qing aside.

Gu Liangwei stood aside as if watching a farce, watching Luo Qing, a fool, being dragged aside angrily, and slowly put the Tai Chi sword back on his waist, completely out of the way.Those mercenaries are obviously subordinate to Xie Chun, Xie Chun still has brains, she still needs to disguise, so as not to let the mercenaries and students really conflict.At least not now.

These corrosive sprays are very destructive. In just half a minute, the moire relief on the surface of the stone gate was completely corroded. As the destructive effect caused by the spray disappeared, a sunken spot was left on the stone gate. A large area of ​​potholes, this is only the effect of spraying a thin layer, it is hard to imagine what kind of damage will be caused if this spray is sprayed on people, this kind of destructive power is basically enough for biological, chemical, and weapons Level, those mercenaries are well aware of the lethality of the spray in the spray can, so they are also very cautious in their actions. Seeing that the spray has lost its effect, there is no more gunpowder smoke on the stone door, so they went up to spray again One layer, repeated this four times, the stone door on that layer became thinner and thinner, and the sunken potholes became deeper and deeper. Finally, after the effect of the fifth spray appeared, the center of the stone door where the spray touched the most A gap was opened in the position, and along the extension of this gap, more and more parts were corroded, and a hole two meters high enough for one person to pass gradually appeared in front of everyone.

The students huddled together like a few little quails who had never seen the world, watching the small gap getting bigger and bigger, feeling both amazed and creepy.

Yue Zhou regretted that she didn't take a photo of the cloud pattern on the stone gate. She made up her mind to go into Yin's tomb later, and then she saw valuable information. It is a pity, after all, these are all ancient and cultural relics that are destroyed and cannot be regenerated, and have inestimable historical value.

After the spray effect on the stone gate completely disappeared, the dark space behind the tomb was exposed. Two mercenaries went to the cave and took a bright flashlight to take a photo inside, and then nodded to Brother Han and Xie Chun: "Inside is the tomb."

Xie Chun showed a cheerful expression, and walked into the tomb with her head. She led the way, and the rest of the archaeological team followed. When they passed the stone gate, the strong sour smell on the stone gate had not dissipated, and their eyes were a little irritated when they approached. , I had to walk over quickly, squinting my eyes and covering my nose. Although I was worried about whether there would be other organs in the tomb, the door of the tomb was already open, and no one would be reconciled if I didn't go in and take a look.

When walking through the pothole of the stone gate, Yuezhou took a special look at the side wall of the stone gate that had not been corroded cleanly. She estimated that the stone gate was about half a meter thick. Put it in the past, let alone this stone gate, even the snake vine forest No one could get in, but their archaeological team not only came in, but also broke through the stone gate and entered the tomb in a grand manner. The owner of the tomb could never imagine that someone would spend so much money to enter his tomb after thousands of years Twists and turns!His snake vine forest, Stonehenge, and half-meter stone gate were unbreakable in the past, but now they are so easily cracked with modern weapons.

Gu Liangwei is very interested in the spray used by the mercenaries to corrode Shimen, but firstly, the spray is self-made, and there is no mark on the bottle, and secondly, I don’t know if it was used too much when dealing with insect evil. Well, there is not much spray left in the bottle, and after corroding the Shimen, there is basically nothing left, and the remaining point should be saved, and of course it will not be wasted by Gu Liangwei.Gu Liangwei reckoned that if the two injured mercenaries hadn't lost their outdoor bags in the tomb passage after being attacked by the worm, the archaeological team should still have enough equipment.

The equipment of these mercenaries has been reasonably calculated, and the equipment is not cumbersome but just enough.

Coupled with the map of the Yin Tomb layout by satellite heat, everything shows that these people came prepared. So, what is in the Yin Tomb that attracts them and makes them inevitable?

From the perspective of tomb robbers, tomb robbers rob tombs for money, but Xie Chun has the map of the ancient tomb, like a guiding light, guiding her all the way to the main tomb. She only cares about the main tomb, and has no interest in the ear chambers on both sides. It doesn't seem like she only came from the treasure of the main tomb. After all, people who are greedy for money don't care about having more treasures, and generally come It is said that the ear chamber in the tomb is usually used as a warehouse for the funeral objects, and there will be many treasures in it. Judging from the great effort of the owner of the Yin tomb to build the Yin tomb, there will never be any shortage of good things in the ear chamber, but Xie Chun is not at all. Heartbeat, as if she knew that there was something more attractive to him in the main tomb, and that thing was there.

A group of people went through the stone gate and entered the front room of Yin's tomb. Before they could raise the flashlight to check the situation in the front room, they heard a slight noise in front of them. Everyone tensed up and prepared to deal with any sudden danger. Hearing a fluttering sound from near to far, a fire suddenly lit up in the stone lamp closest to the stone gate in the tomb. As the sound went away, the stone lamps in the distance also lit up one after another. Everyone waited and waited. Seeing that the light was on and there were no other signs, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Xu Guangchuan approached the nearest stone lamp, took a closer look, and explained: "Don't worry, it should contain mermaid ointment, which is said to be immortal for thousands of years. Ordinary candles will go out without air, but mermaid ointment is different. The wax oil melted by the candle wick is always surrounded by a cloud of mist around the candle wick. When the tomb door is locked and there is no air circulation, when the candle wick weakens, the circle of fish oil mist around the candle wick will be affected by the temperature. Lower it to the center of the candle wick with Mars, and then condense into a drop of fish oil similar to wax oil to wrap the candle wick. Once the air flow in the air changes, the drop of fish oil wrapped around the candle wick will melt, and it has not been completely extinguished. The wick will re-ignite."

Seeing the Mermaid Lamp, Xu Guangchuan showed the attitude of an old scholar who is usually a professor, and unconsciously talked about the origin of this lamp. Luo Qing and Wei Yufei sighed when they heard it. Is it the kind of ever-burning lamp made of mermaid paste in the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang recorded in "Historical Records"?"

Xu Guangchuan was so excited that the muscles on his face were trembling with excitement. He looked up and down the ever-burning lamp and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, it should be that kind of ever-burning lamp! This is a major discovery. The mermaid lamp in Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum is just a record, but now this kind The mermaid lanterns are right in front of our eyes! Yuezhou, come on, come on! Take pictures of these ever-burning lanterns!"

Luo Qing and Wei Yufei also clenched their hands into fists excitedly.

In history, both China and foreign countries have recorded the everlasting lanterns, but those are just records, and it is impossible to distinguish the true from the false, but now!These eternal lights are truly displayed in front of their eyes!This is definitely a discovery that shocked the world!Moreover, the first ever-burning lamp was found in China, and it was only discovered in China, which is even more significant!

When Xu Guangchuan discovered the mystery of the ever-bright lamp, Yuezhou took a single-handed camera and took pictures of the details of the stone lamp. The base of the stone lamp was carved with wishful cloud patterns, and the side walls of the hollow lamp wall were luxuriously decorated with jewels and gold beads. The lights are bright and dark, and the precious jewels and gold beads on the lamp wall are shining brightly, which is dizzying. After taking a few photos, she held up the SLR and looked around. She was frightened by the reckless sabotage of those mercenaries. Download some precious photos to witness the past of Yin Tomb.The bright hall in the front room has a flat bluestone brick floor, and there are ten mermaid stone lamps of this kind. The ten mermaid stone lamps are arranged in two rows on both sides of the broad Ming hall. The wicks of the oil lamps are very long, so the flames are very bright. It was very bright, and the front room was illuminated very brightly. With candle lighting, the effect of the strong flashlight seemed useless, so everyone simply turned off the flashlight and observed the front room by candlelight. There are only records of mermaid oil lamps from ancient times to the present. However, historical records have indeed found several eternal lights, but in the end these discovered eternal lights will always be destroyed in various ways, so it is difficult to distinguish the true from the false. It seems that this kind of thing is too contrary to common sense, so even after discovery It is difficult to keep it for future generations to admire. Luo Qing had a flash of inspiration and had an idea. He discussed with Xu Guangchuan and Wei Yufei to dig a piece of mermaid oil back. After all, it is unrealistic to bring back the stone lamp as it is. It is better to bring a piece of mermaid oil lamp first. Go back to research, figure out the principle of its eternal combustion, write a paper and publish it, it will definitely impact the international archaeological community!

Xu Guangchuan also understood the advantages and disadvantages of it. He looked back at the mercenaries who were inspecting the environment in the tomb, and nodded to Luo Qing. He took out his utility knife and poked in along the hollow of the stone lamp, planning to dig a piece of fish oil from the edge of the mermaid oil lamp and put it in a sealed bag to take back.The candle wick in the hollowed-out stone lamp is affected by the airflow between the movements of several people around the stone lamp, and the fire light keeps swaying. The flickering candlelight shines on the face of the person, making it difficult to see the subtle expressions on the face. Too many shadows cast on the face of the person is a bit more eerie.
