Chapter 1838 Mysterious Cave House (wz) Post Management
After walking for more than ten meters, I found that the moisture in the cave was getting lighter and lighter, and it was gradually drying out. Moreover, there were many traces of smoke on the cave wall. Lan Cunjun put his nose to the cave wall and smelled it, and said
: "It's weird, why does it smell like lead and mercury?".
"Are you practicing the "Elixir of Agelessness?"" Ye Fan joked casually with a smile.
"Haha, brother, you believe this too?" Chen Jun laughed, and the laughter buzzed in the cave.
"Legend has it that in 219 BC, the First Emperor took a boat around the Shandong Peninsula, where he stayed for three months. There he heard that there were three fairy mountains in the Bohai Bay, called Penglai, Fangzhang, and Yingzhou. In
There are three immortals living on the three fairy mountains, and they have the elixir of life in their hands. The person who told Tai Shi Huang this magical story was named Xu Fu. He was a local alchemist. I heard that he had seen these three fairy mountains with his own eyes. Tai Shi Huang
The emperor was very happy after hearing this, so he sent Xu Fu to lead a thousand boys and girls into the sea to find the elixir of immortality. Xu Fu... So he took these thousands of boys and girls to drift along the river to Japan.
According to records, the "elixir of immortality" that Emperor Taishi could not find was commonly called "Tai Sui" and its scientific name was "Lingzhi".). But in the end, Emperor Taishi did not take the elixir of life, and he did not live a long life.
Even the Thai Dynasty perished early." Lan Cunjun said with a smile.
"Actually, there are many versions of the legend about Elixir. For this, we must first talk about the alchemy that was very famous in ancient times and favored by emperors. Its goal is to transform some basic metals into gold through chemical methods, which can be used to make everything.
Elixirs and preparation of elixirs.
Science now shows that this method does not work. Some famous scientists, including Newton, have attempted alchemy.
Moreover, base metals such as lead or copper are commonly used in alchemy. How can they be turned into gold? Alchemists believe that the reason why lead or copper is not as noble and durable as gold is because they have shortcomings in their properties. Therefore,
It needs to be supplemented with various substances.
Some people also believe that in addition to the four elements advocated by Aristotle, there are three more common co-elements of various metals: mercury, sulfur and salt.
Depending on the ratio of these three elements, lead, copper or gold can be obtained. So they mixed the three elements in different ways and in different proportions, or added a certain element to the base metal.
, to test whether gold can be produced.
And there are traces of lead and mercury on the cave wall. Could it be that this is the place where a certain alchemist refined the elixir for the emperor in ancient times? And the dragon picture engraved on the cave door can also be explained..." Ye Fan said with a smile.
.
"Brother Ye, you are talking about alchemy in Europe. In our country, it is called alchemy. Ancient Taoists or Taoists used gold and stone minerals as raw materials and used chemical methods to refine them into alchemy, which they thought would make people immortal.
In fact, the "poisonous elixir", the technology and method of medicine. The Tang Dynasty was the heyday of alchemy. Almost all emperors in the past dynasties were keen on alchemy, and most of these emperors also died from the "Elixir of Immortality". In the Tang Dynasty, they died after taking elixir.
There are six emperors in the Tang Dynasty, including Taizong, Xianzong, Mu Zong, Jingzong, and Wuzong and Xuanzong of the late Tang Dynasty." Lan Cunjun said, and he shook his head regretfully.
"Isn't this cave a secret place where the alchemists of the Tang Dynasty used to refine elixirs for Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty?" Chen Jun said with a smile.
The four of them were talking, and when they walked up a hundred meters diagonally through the cave, their eyes suddenly opened up. Moreover, the stone steps on both sides of the cave were also trimmed very smoothly. There were low-level inlays every ten meters.
White marble. The traces of smoke on the cave wall are becoming more and more obvious.
"It's really an alchemy cave." Ye Dan said as he looked around with eagle eyes.
"Damn, it would be great if all these stone steps were made of high-quality jade. It would be worth some money to dig them all back." Chen Jun joked and laughed.
"Although there was jade in ancient times, the mining techniques were not as good as modern times. There couldn't be so many jade shops here. In that era, only the rich could wear a few pieces of jade. The rest were enjoyed by emperors, princes and nobles.
..." Ye Fan shook his head.
We finally arrived. It was a very large cave. It should be natural. It was hundreds of meters in diameter and thirty or forty meters high. Some of the stalactites were strangely hanging upside down, which made it look a bit mysterious.
The bottom of the cave was smoothed and paved with strips of stone. There was a large round thing in the center, which seemed to be made of metal.
This thing is a bit like the seismometer made by Zhang Heng in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Moreover, there are four openings on the four sides, and four black heads are squatting underneath. They are carved very majesticly and look like the legendary unicorn with a ferocious appearance.
"Sure enough, it's alchemy." Lan Cunjun nodded, pointed to the oblong thing in the center and said, "This is the furnace used for alchemy. It's a bit like the Eight Immortals furnace built by Taishang Laojun in "Journey to the West"
Like. And these four slots are some impurities flowing out during the elixir refining. Perhaps, they can also flow out from a certain mouth when the elixir is made."
Chen Jun ran forward, picked up an iron bar that had long since rotted into shape, and knocked it. The round thing made a dull clang sound. Moreover, with a click, the iron bar broke.
"Detect it to see if there is anything inside." Ye Fan said, and Chen Jun immediately set up the instrument to scan.
"There must be something, but I don't know what it is. It seems to be moving tremblingly, and the detection ripples that bounce back are so weird. This thing seems to be neither gold nor flesh, and I don't know what it is.
"Whatever, let's turn it on before talking." Chen Jun looked at the instrument screen and said.
"There shouldn't be any danger, but let's all put on gas masks before we do it." Ye Fan said. After several people put them on, Mr. Ye used all his strength to grab the hat head on the round thing's head and lift it up.
He actually didn't mention it. You know, with Boss Ye's current level 9 skills, he should have no problem lifting eight thousand kilograms with all his strength.
"Could it be that they were rusted and fused together?" Lan Cunjun thought for a while and said. (To be continued.
