"This sentence is mentioned in the book Haidong Natural History. When translated, it means that the Mirror Palace is the Crystal Palace of the East China Sea. It is located deep in the ocean and is surrounded by millions of crystal stones. The Spirit God of the East China Sea lives in a huge shell. Any No one should be disrespectful."
As soon as Song Siyuan finished speaking, everyone immediately understood the meaning of such a construction:
These pavilions and pavilions are deliberately gilded with silver to imitate the millions of crystals outside the Palace of Mirrors. Real crystals cannot be obtained even if it costs millions of money. It is reasonable for Yin Zun to use silver plating instead of crystals.
The huge clam tower on the white marble platform refers to the place where the spiritual gods live. As for the sapphire ever-burning lanterns above their heads with patterns of prophecies, it imitates the scene of surging sea water.
Even though it was full of flaws, the moment they came in, they really had the illusion that mortals had mistakenly entered the Dragon King's Palace!
"But why does he want to imitate the East China Sea Spirit God and give up immortality, reincarnation, and dragon veins?"
Yue Erpao didn't quite understand, and everyone else was also confused, but not as direct as him.
"No, what if the three merged into one!"
Song Siyuan stared at the giant clam shell for a long time, and then a sentence slowly popped out of her mouth. This sentence made everyone look at her, wanting to hear what she said:
"Think about it. His body is immortal, his soul is reincarnated, and his body is permanently stationed in the dragon veins to continue the destiny of the country. Every step of the way is done so perfectly by Da Yinzun. I'm afraid this is the purpose he has in mind."
Before he finished speaking, Mr. Cat narrowed his eyes, and his expression returned from doubt to clarity: "Song Qianjin is right, balancing the three is the purpose of answering Yin Zun, then on top of this clam shell must be the corpse of Haidong Shenghuang. , I just don’t know what happened to this body after thousands of years.”
"Go and have a look. We finally found the body of this shriveled calf. This is the only step away from all the difficulties."
Yue Guanchao led everyone through the Palace of Mirrors and came to the Xiangyun Hailang Altar. Thirty-six tiger soul coffins stood in front, and the corpses inside were still clearly visible!
Song Siyuan looked at the amber coffin with a flashlight. Most of the corpses inside were wearing the crown clothes with the characteristics of Haidong Shengguo!
A crown made of five-color animal skins is worn on the head, surrounded by hundreds of birds with bright and messy feathers, like hairpins on the head. The broad clothes given by the Tang Dynasty are mostly dark red and yellow-brown, with a round collar and narrow sleeves, complex scale patterns, and wide sleeves. The clothes are brocaded and decorated with silver, with a hidden picture of waves and auspicious clouds. Around the waist are gold colorful banners, jade jade ornaments, and a strong thick belt. It is gorgeous but also has a hint of mystery!
Regardless of whether they were men, women, old or young, their faces were covered with dragon-faced ritual utensils, like more than thirty strange-looking dragons, staring at everyone through thick amber, making people have to turn their eyes and stop looking carefully.
Song Siyuan shined a flashlight on these corpses. Their bodies had died thousands of years ago, but under the protection of amber liquid, they had not undergone any decay or deformation. Even the fine lines and fuzz on the skin were preserved, as if they had been frozen in the long river of time.
Thinking about this, she couldn't help but praise: "The feudal rulers were indeed cruel and bloodthirsty. The people inside are all living people, and they were completely sealed with amber liquid."
"Song Qianjin, this thing looks like amber, but it's not amber. It's actually something else."
Mr. Cat carefully stroked the amber crystal coffin and shook his head at everyone: "This thing is chalcedony!"
"Chalcedony and agate belong to the same category. Agate feels warm to the touch, slightly mild, while chalcedony has a more transparent texture and contains more water. Sometimes you can even see water droplets wrapped into the jade cavity, and it feels obviously cold and cold to the touch. , I just touched these coffins, and I can confirm that these are indeed chalcedony coffins~"
"Only chalcedony can be as transparent as later generations of glass. The higher-grade chalcedony can even be as transparent as ice jade. It is very precious. However, what we see in front of us is obviously ordinary chalcedony, which can only be as transparent as amber ice." layer, it’s not unusual.”
"However, using chalcedony as a coffin is in line with the normal practice of burials in the Mirror Palace!"
Yue Guanchao saw Master Mao saying this. He didn't care much about how valuable chalcedony was. He just wanted to know why the people inside were so lifelike, as if they were asleep: "Could it be that chalcedony and jade embryos are immortal coffins?" Similarly, it also has the effect of delaying the aging of corpses?"
When Mr. Cat heard him mention the Jade Fetus Eternal Life Coffin, the admiration in his eyes became more obvious:
"Young friend Yue, I didn't expect you to know quite a lot. Chalcedony is at best a poor jade coffin, and it does not embalm corpses. But as the old man just said, there are many cavities in chalcedony that can hide water. It’s the water in the jade cavity that really works.”
"Chalcedony is mostly caused by tens of millions of years of geological movement and rock catalysis, which means that the water in the cavity has also experienced millions of years. Such water is so mysterious that it is called jade essence by the older generation. It is a slurry produced by refining jade. , drinking it can prolong life, and sleeping on it can prevent the body from decaying."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, Mr. Cat, what you are saying is too mysterious. Isn't it just water that is tens of millions of years old? All underground springs are tens of millions of years old. Why don't you see that people in the mountains are immortal?"
When Yue Guanchao saw this old man, he said something mysterious. He believed that there really were immortal people in the world, but he had never met him before.
Mr. Mao was afraid that others would say he was a showman. When Yue Guanchao questioned him, he put all his energy into it:
"What Yue Xiaoyou said is wrong. As long as the living water is still flowing, it is not considered jade essence. The real jade essence can remain still for ten thousand years without drying up and becoming dirty, which is equivalent to being eternally pure for ten thousand years. Only such clear and clear water deserves to be called jade essence. , if the jade essence gathers together to form a spring, it is called the Spring of Eternal Life, and it is a lucky place in the world where immortals can live."
