"There is a similar record in "The Secret Biography of Huang Lao". It is rumored that in addition to Yingzhou, Penglai and Yuanqiao Mountains overseas, there is a fairy mountain with a fountain of immortality. Drinking from it will prolong your life forever and you can live a thousand years. It’s just that no one has ever seen this fairy mountain without a shadow.”
"However, today I am confident that this thing may really be a jade essence."
Yue Guanchao touched the chalcedony coffin with cold tentacles and observed it carefully as Master Mao did.
The chalcedony coffin is slightly larger than the ordinary wooden coffin. It has a high head and a low tail, and is neatly arranged on all sides. The whole body is carved with auspicious waves and cloud patterns. The outer coffin has a frosted texture. You can vaguely see the hazy corpse through the chalcedony stone. There are thousands of sea creatures surrounding the coffin. The coffin lid is a natural block without any carvings. Only this part is completely transparent glass. You can directly see the inner coffin full of jade essence through the coffin lid.
The dressed corpse was soaked in jade essence. Because of this, it was highly transparent and you could see the smallest details.
If Mr. Cat's words are false, how can we explain how well-preserved the body is in front of him? But if he is telling the truth, can this liquid really make him immortal?
He looked at Song Siyuan: "Song Qianjin, do you believe in the jade essence?"
Song Siyuan looked at the chalcedony coffin and nodded to him: "Why don't you believe it? The ancients left such records, they must not be just based on speculation. In the long history, there may be a strange liquid that can live forever, but I don't think that It’s divine power, or it could just be other materials in the rock formations at work.”
After speaking, she looked at the chalcedony coffin:
"The jade essence here is probably preserved in an independent jade cavity after thousands of years of rock formation movement. It has not been in contact with the outside world for a long time. The trace elements in the jade continue to accumulate, causing the water element to change and be filled with certain trace elements. , maybe it can really make the corpse incorruptible. As for immortality, that may just be the speculation of the ancients after seeing the corpse incorruptible, and it is just the ancient people's desire for immortality."
"Fortunately, this thing is not alive. It is just a corpse that will never rot. We have to focus on the clam tower. No matter what it is, there is absolutely no way it is dead. Da Yinzun is alive by himself. Sealed in a tomb, do you know what he did?"
These words brought everyone's attention back to the right track. They stepped onto the Ocean Waves Altar, crossed the thirty-six coffins and walked towards the Clam Tower, the most central building in the Mirror Palace.
When everyone first came out of the tree root arch, they were still a hundred or ten meters away from the clam shell. After crossing the wave altar, there were only less than tens of meters left, and the majestic clam tower appeared in front of everyone.
The height of the Clam Tower has reached the top of the Mirror Palace, and is only a few meters away from the sea-blue evergreen lantern.
The white pagoda is about the size of five private houses, imitating a shell that is fastened up and down. It is slightly narrower at the top and wider at the middle. It has the shape of a deep-sea white clam and stands firmly on a white marble platform. There is only a round arch on the front for entry and exit.
On the second floor, there is a circle of circular windows at the widest part of the clam shell, covered with glazed tiles, and rippling lights. From a distance, it looks like the clam shell has a halo around it, which is particularly magical.
Yue Guanchao and the others stepped onto the white marble stairs and led everyone gradually closer to the Beng Pagoda. The many rich details of the tower came into view one by one.
The pearly white outside the tower is not made of paint, but is made from real clam shells. The skirts of these clam shells will be removed, leaving only the smoothest main shell, and the totems of the deep-sea fish tribe will be carved and inlaid on the walls. On top, they are connected to each other into pieces, forming the white shell of the clam tower.
Most of the windows on the waist are the size of a vat mouth, covered with translucent clear tiles and decorated with carved window lattice with patterns of auspicious clouds and beads. Under the light of the faint blue sea, they emit a soft precious light.
On the numerous gentle edges of the clam shell, a circle of light halo can be clearly seen. The source of this halo is not silver paint but pure white bones. Each bone has been gilded with the technique of gilding. Attach the transparent glaze to the bone strips, connect the long and short ones, and connect them two by two, and use the light of colored glaze to outline the outline of the clam shell.
It is not surprising that this clam shell tower is said to be ingenious and skillful. The ability to create such a wonder in the underground palace represents the highest level of craftsmanship in Haidong Sheng Kingdom.
When you get so close, you can even smell the fishy, salty smell of the clam shells!
Everyone stood outside the clam tower, like a few black beans thrown in front of the palm-sized clam shell, looking small and helpless.
Mr. Cat looked at the tower and exclaimed: "The spirit god of the East China Sea lives in a clam. This clam shell-shaped pavilion, not only looking at the northeast, but also looking at the world today, is the only one with a scorpion tail. On the contrary, the old man I want to see what’s in here?”
