Chapter 1126 Bronze Monkey
"No." Ladyna shook her head confused: "I don't even know what you are talking about."
"It's not you, was it him?" The fat man was suddenly shocked, and then quickly accelerated his pace, fearing that Zhang Meng would hear his chat.
In ancient China, coffins were divided into several types, the most common ones were wooden coffins. Stone, bronze, and white marble coffins were used to hold people with prominent status. Wooden coffins were prone to decay. After they rot, a mouthful of resentment from the corpse in the coffin dissipated. The bronze coffins were different. They would not decay for thousands of years. A mouthful of resentment was always stuck in the mouth of the corpse, which was very easy to turn into rice dumplings.
According to common sense, no one will easily touch the inner wall of the bronze coffin.
But unexpectedly, by the fat man, he found a tomb passage under the bronze coffin.
This sudden situation really surprised and delighted several people.
Under the leadership of Ye Jiu, everyone quickly entered the tomb passage under the bronze coffin.
This tomb passage is very different from the tomb passages discovered before. If you compare it, you can only say that the tomb passages you have walked through are more like thieves. Even the box chambers equipped with each of the four long corridors are not as good as the tomb passages under the bronze coffin.
Not only are there a row of bronze monkeys with hunched backs and grinning teeth on both sides of the tomb passage, but there is a huge wick as thick as a human leg on the tail of each bronze monkey, and even the entire tomb passage is covered with gold bricks.
The fat man bit his teeth while everyone was not paying attention, and almost broke his big teeth. He cried with tears: "I said why does it look different from the gold bag above? All the damn gold is all gold, but unfortunately it's not very good. But look at the tombs built by such a large-scale gold bricks on our heads and feet, and the gold I saw before, I guess I have to build this tomb with a mountain of gold!"
"Not only is the scale of gold bricks rare in the world, but it is also here." Xiaolou pointed to the bronze monkeys on both sides of the tomb passage: "Look, these eternal lamps have been as thick as their legs. They have been burned for so many years but have not been extinguished. This is much more powerful than the suffocating cats on the tomb wall we have seen before."
"Yes, yes." After hearing Xiaolou say that, the fat man hurriedly looked at the bronze monkeys with his waist. At first glance, it looked like a monkey's butt was on fire. The fat man looked greedy: "If you want to sell this thing, it will definitely be worth a lot of money. Although this tomb is much more dangerous than before, and there are all kinds of twists and turns, the treasures are indeed piled up in mountains and are worth the money!"
"No matter how good the thing is, it is just human body corpse wax." Ladyna snorted at the fat man arrogantly.
"Go, shut your crow's mouth." Although the fat man was reluctant to give in, he seemed to have been reminded by Lady Na with one word, secretly covering his nose and taking two steps back.
Seeing the fat man retreating, Ye Jiu quickly poked out his two fingers, passed by the burning wick, placed it at the tip of his nose and sniffed it: "No, it's not corpse wax."
"It's not corpse wax, what is that?" Zhang Meng turned his head and looked at Ye Jiu.
"It's a mermaid." Ye Jiu said.
"My trunk, is it really a mermaid? It's not a black-scale mermaid, right?" The fat man was stunned.
"It's not the mermaid we usually understand, nor the black-scale mermaid." Ye Jiu squatted in front of the bronze monkey and explained: "According to the records in ancient books, it is actually made of animal brain oil similar to giant salamanders or whales."
"I know this." After hearing Ye Jiu mention it, Lady Na also looked at the wick: "This kind of eternal lamp wax first appeared in Qin Shihuang's tomb. According to the records of "Records of the Grand Historian", the underground palace of Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum uses mermaid paste as a candle, and those who have never died will last for a long time. However, this is only the only record in history. When Chinese archaeologists excavated Qin Shihuang's tomb in 1974, due to backward equipment, they accidentally wiped out the mermaid paste in the tomb. After that, they never found the existence of mermaid paste, but they didn't expect to find it again here."
"Why haven't I heard of it?" said the fat man: "Although I'm careless, I can't have heard of such an important baby?"
"This matter has been included in the confidential file, and no one except the parties involved knows it." Lady Na responded angrily with a fat man.
"Although there were not many experts who met mermaid cream at that time, after many research, I still found a little clue."
Before everyone could ask, Lady Na continued, "It was Ye Jiu's theory of giant salamander and whale cereal oil. Because according to the descriptions of books such as "Foreign Things" and "The Legend of Foreign Countries", the mermaid looks very much like a giant salamander, and the "Three Qin Records" records: the tomb of Shihuang... burns whale paste as a lamp. In addition, this candle will take a long time to burn. According to the quantity, only the candle made of whale cereal oil is more in line with it. Of course, I personally think that this candle cannot be made of giant salamander."
After listening to Ladyna's explanation, Zhang Meng looked at the burning flame: "We are now at the bottom of the sea, and it seems that whales are easier to catch."
After listening to everyone's discussion, only Fatty was unhappy: "Damn, Fatty Ye Bai was so happy. I didn't expect that this thing was just made of whale cereal oil. I really don't know what these local tycoons thought. There was a row of whale lamps in such a gold-paved tomb passage, and put a few bronze monkeys that were so ugly that they cried. It was really a big deal."
"Do you really think ancient fishing technology can be as good as modern?" Zhang Meng was speechless: "You don't think about it. Can ordinary people catch such a big whale? Even the royal family and nobles may not be able to do it?"
"Zhang Meng is right." Ye Jiu, who had been squatting next to the bronze monkey, looked at the end of the tomb with a bright look, and his tone was filled with alternative shock: "This is definitely not an ordinary noble tomb, and it even far exceeds the specifications of the tomb of the emperor. The luxury here has reached an unimaginable level."
Looking at Ye Jiu with sharp eyes, Zhang Meng realized that Ye Jiu had already seen the scene at the end of the tomb passage. However, what makes Ye Jiu feel luxurious is probably beyond everyone's previous understanding.
