After the orb burst, a milky white liquid poured down from the dragon's mouth.
Wang Qiang was about to be soaked from head to toe.
Lin Yi screamed inwardly, swung out his flying tiger claws and grabbed Wang Qiang's backpack strap, and together with Fifth Brother, they pulled him down the stairs with his head upside down, stumbling all the way.
When Qian Sheng saw this, he quickly pulled Bai Lu to a safe area with quick eyes and quick hands.
The two of them had just escaped from danger when several huge stone fragments suddenly fell from the dragon above them.
It hit the large blue and white jar in front of the "Five Offerings" without any bias, causing several jars to crack.
The grease inside surged down the steps like a flood, and everyone hurriedly took a few steps back.
At this moment, the two huge dragon eyes on the dragon's head fell down and hit the bluestone on the ground. Under the impact, sporadic sparks burst out, and the milky white liquid on the ground was instantly ignited.
Under the dragon throne, wherever there is grease, it will be instantly ignited.
The terrain of the entire nave is low in front and high in back. The milky white grease flows along the stone slabs towards the entrance, and the flames behind it follow closely like countless fire dragons.
In an instant, a wave of heat hit his face, raging fire rose into the sky, and the entire space was filled with the smell of body odor.
Everyone covered their mouths and noses and ran towards the door.
We retreated all the way to the stone steps we came in from.
The entire nave was now a sea of flames, the milky white liquid was burning sizzling, streams of black smoke rushed up to the dome, and the air was filled with an unbearable stench.
"Human oil!"
Qian Sheng's nose twitched twice and he could smell something wrong.
"Human oil?"
"Yes, it is human oil. As early as in slave society, many tribal civilizations had the habit of refining human oil. They would kill captives and slaves, and after refining their fat, they would finally get this greasy white oil. , in the Shang Dynasty, human oil was still used in cooking.
Later, some violent monarchs chose to refine human oil and use it as fuel.
For example, King Daxi used human oil to make the fuel for the ever-burning lamp. "
Qian Sheng was well-informed, and after some explanation, everyone finally understood.
Wang Qiang picked up the hem of his clothes and smelled it several times. Then he took off his shirt and smelled it carefully to make sure that he was not stained by such disgusting things.
"What do you think they think? Hanging such a thing on the throne? Are they not afraid of roasting this old bastard to death?"
"The orb held in the mouth of the dragon in the caojing is called the 'Xuanyuan Mirror'. It was originally a mirror. It is said that this mirror was handed down from the hands of Emperor Xuanyuan. It hangs high on the dragon chair and can identify the emperor's true body.
Later, when the Forbidden City was being built, this was changed into a pearl filled with mercury. It is said that if someone was sitting on the dragon chair incorrectly, the object would fall and hit the head of the person sitting on the dragon chair below.
When the great thief Yuan Weiting proclaimed himself emperor and sat on the dragon chair, he was always afraid that the 'Xuanyuan Mirror' would fall and hit his head. Finally, he ordered someone to move the dragon chair back several meters in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
I just don't know why the 'Daxi King's Tomb' poured human oil into this coiled dragon and designed such a mechanism? "
"What else could it be? You want to kill people. This fire is stinky and choking. It's a pity that my pocket of treasures is gone."
"I told you a long time ago that you should stop as soon as you see fit. Now it's over. The Tai Ping You Xiang and the three-legged incense burner were all burned into a pile of broken copper and iron. Fortunately, I had quick eyesight and quick hands to pull you back, otherwise this would Human oil has been poured all over you, and you’ve probably gone to report to the old bastard by now!”
Lin Yi scolded him, and Wang Qiang immediately shut up and stopped nagging.
His life was indeed hanging by a thread just now. If Lin Yi moved a little slower, Wang Qiang's body would be stained with oil and the fire would start. Even if there was "Kunlun Ice Marrow" to extinguish the fire, he would lose a layer of his skin.
"Brothers, listen to me, don't be in a hurry to get angry. Brother Qiangzi and a few of us escaped death. If we had reacted a little slower just now, we would all have been burned by the fire. This is all a blessing among misfortunes. , money, things outside the body, sometimes you must have them in your life, don’t force yourself if you don’t have them in your life.
As long as people are fine, it's fine, and everything is fine! "
The fifth brother came up and put his arms around each other, comforting each other.
Lin Yi didn't mean to break up with Wang Qiang, he just wanted him to have a longer memory.
Wang Qiang knew that he was in the wrong, so he squatted at the door and smoked without saying a word.
The entire nave was on fire at the moment, and you could feel the flames burning your skin even from a distance.
"Is human oil so resistant to burning? Why is the fire getting more and more intense?"
"This white human oil is the essence that has settled after being refined. Not counting what poured down from Panlong's mouth, the oil flowing out of the five large tanks alone can burn him for at least a few days. Don’t forget, there are so many golden nanmu pillars in this hall, they are fine wood, they are strong and not generally resistant to burning.”
"How many days will it take to burn? Why don't we burn it down?" Upon hearing this, Wang Qiang dropped the cigarette butt and stood up.
"It's very possible, otherwise this thing wouldn't be used as fuel for everlasting lamps! The full name of everlasting lamps is 'Ten Thousand Everlasting Lamps'! Although it's a bit exaggerated, but with a wick, it will only take a few years to burn. Not big."
Lin Yi stood in front of the blazing fire. After a moment of silence, he finally spoke.
"Lao San is right. If these golden nanmu columns are load-bearing columns, it is very likely that the central hall will be directly burned by the fire and collapse. The entire tomb passage structure will not be able to withstand it, and the entire tomb will collapse, and the stress structure will be destroyed. , and can also cause internal collapse of the mountain.
By then, the road leading to the dormitory will be completely blocked, and the entire tomb may be destroyed. "
"It seems that the person who originally designed this tomb has made a complete plan. If the mechanism in front does not stop the intruders, then they will simply destroy the place and let the people who come in get nothing. .”
Bai Lu's analysis hit the nail on the head and told the truth.
With this kind of fire, in ancient times there was nothing that could be done and could only watch.
Even modern professionals with advanced fire extinguishing equipment would probably be blinded when entering here.
"If you want to enter the dormitory, let this fire continue to burn, otherwise we will waste all our efforts!"
Lin Yi took out the "Kunlun Ice Essence" again, poured it out gently, and placed it on the steps.
This small ice marrow once again exerted its magical effect. As it extended down the steps, the fire began to gradually weaken, and the fire on the ground slowly began to extinguish in several places.
The human oil that stopped burning solidified on the floor, forming a greasy layer of white grease.
