"It's haunted, even the coffin is hanging in the air!"
Even though the flashlight's light was bright, facing such a large space, it was inevitably useless like a glass of water to put out a fire. Yue Er's artillery eyes looked at the coffin floating above the funeral platform, and he was immediately surprised.
Not only him, but also the companions around him were shocked. Any coffin that can be suspended in the air must have some kind of supernatural power.
"Perhaps, it's just because there are ropes on the coffin that we can't see it and think it's a hanging coffin. I see there are several long-burning lamps here, so I lit them first."
Yue Guanchao looked around. On the shore of the Mercury Pond, there were many painted pottery palace figurines sitting on their knees. These palace figurines were similar in shape. Most of them were about half waist high. They were wearing Song Dynasty palace hats and official robes, and they were kneeling. The sitting posture is standing by the mercury pool, with both arms flat on the heart, left hand on top and right hand on the bottom, with a pavilion-like lamp niche in the middle, with clear oil shining inside and the wick emerging.
After thousands of years, the surface of the copper lamp is protected by a transparent clear glaze, and it is still rich in color. However, the paint on the horn Gadari will inevitably fall off, making the figure look a bit messy and messy.
Yue Guanchao picked up the fire fold and lit the wick in it. After the flames grew bigger, the other painted pottery figurine lamps lit up one by one like will-o'-the-wisps.
The "卍"-shaped Mercury Canal is surrounded by painted pottery figurine lanterns. At this time, the painted pottery palace lanterns next to the Mercury River are completely lit, and hundreds of palace lanterns light up together. In addition, the glaze can reflect the firelight, and the mercury can also reflect the light. The dark tomb was illuminated, and finally it became brighter and brighter than being blind.
Yue Guanchao and the others walked onto the Huangquan Bridge and stood on the jade-white arch bridge, and the things in the watery Milky Way gradually became clear.
Above the river, four fairy mountains can be seen distributed in the "swastika"-shaped mercury pool. These rockeries are reduced to half waist height in proportion. Each of them is overlapping fairy mountains, surrounded by green islets, and surrounded by mercury. You can see the reflection of the fairy mountains in the water, and the shadows are more blurry. Show gorgeousness.
In the square mercury canal, there are countless painted boats floating on the water, using the buoyancy of mercury to cruise between the river channels and circle around the square mercury canal.
These boats are also smaller in size. Compared with normal boats, they are basically small boats. They are only two meters in front and back. They have a square bow with jade railings and knotted colorful silks. There is a pavilion-like sightseeing tent covered with curtains. , completely covering the inner scene, and being able to cruise through the canal without power is strange.
When looking towards the second floor of the tomb, everyone couldn't help but scream in surprise.
Ten meters above their heads, a two-story platform clearly appeared. These platforms were like a "return" shape, just encircling the funeral platform.
On the platform, there are countless pottery statues of gods and Buddhas. Most of these statues are twice as tall as real people. They are solemn, kind-faced, and full of divinity. They are dressed in the celestial robes of gods and humans. The jewels and jewels can be seen in the splendid clothes, just like those on festival posters. Color paintings have an impersonal sense of sacred wealth, which makes ordinary people yearn for them.
The Queen Mother of the West, the Prince of the East, the Three Pure Ones and the Four Imperial Kings, the Five Heavenly Emperors, the Xingxu Priests, the Xuannv Fairy... Countless statues of gods are connected shoulder to shoulder, with halos made of colored glass above their heads, and colorful auspicious clouds at their feet, gathered at the edge of the tower.
If you look closely, you will see that most of these statues are gathered near the tower. The top of the tower has also been carved with auspicious clouds in glass. The surrounding auspicious clouds are all over the tomb roof. It looks like the gods of the fairy world are standing in the clouds and opening the circular skylight on the dome. They all looked at the hanging coffin.
Under the hanging coffin is the burial platform. The circular gap above the hanging coffin is both a skylight and a caisson recessed into the top of the tomb. Since the top of the tomb is themed with gods, the caisson is also painted with the Nine Heavens. In the murals, the Tianmen Fairy Mountain and the Palace Fairyland , the nine heavens are staggered according to their levels and drawn on the caisson.
The entire top of the tomb is beautiful, gorgeous and extravagant.
If you look at the hanging coffin again, it is easy to understand the meaning that the tomb builder wanted to convey. All these gods and Buddhas gathered around the hanging coffin, and the meaning of blessing the corpse and ascending to immortality is self-evident.
However, it is not like what Song Siyuan described. The hanging coffin is locked and fixed on the top of the tomb by ropes or chains. There is nothing around the hanging coffin to restrain it. It is equivalent to saying that it is actually suspended in the air, rather than relying on visual dislocation. Or force pulling.
"It's strange, I've never seen this kind of coffin!"
Sun Daqiao looked at the coffin that could float in mid-air and adjusted his reading glasses to take a closer look.
He hissed in confusion: "If we talk about hanging coffins, they have existed since ancient times. Most of them use pillars to form a suspended posture, or simply hang them with rope knots. In either case, the coffin can always be pulled up by something, no matter what It may be completely unconstrained and yet it can be suspended.”
"Could it be that the corpse in this coffin has really transformed into an immortal and even the coffin is floating?"
Faced with this completely supernatural situation, Xu Xiake had only one thought in his mind, that is, cultivating immortals was somewhat useful, at least the magic power was real.
"Whether you become an immortal or become a zombie, you can still get out of the coffin. This coffin is hanging in the air and you can't get out. I think you are quite a noob. Anyway, let's go to the funeral platform and have a look first."
Yue Guanchao led them through the pit of pottery figurines and slowly came to the vicinity of the burial platform. Before they even got up, they could already feel that something was pushing them out.
"Do you feel that it is getting harder and harder to walk?"
When Yue Guanchao walked forward, it seemed as if he encountered an invisible force that hindered his steps. The closer he walked to the funeral platform, the more difficult it became.
"Is there a barrier here?"
Xu Xiake's eyes became serious and he had already picked up his peach wood sword.
Song Siyuan took out her pocket watch. After opening it, she could see that the pointer was shaking rapidly and she could not point to the direction. Even the compass began to rotate. In fact, her hand could no longer control the pocket watch. In the blink of an eye, after taking off her hand, the pocket watch immediately floated in the air. .
They clearly saw the pocket watch floating above their heads, and even started to float around randomly, as if someone's invisible hand was pulling it and running away.
This scene was so shocking that everyone started to feel numb!
This is a tomb, and it is also the tomb of a thousand-year-old female corpse. How could it not frighten them? The hair on everyone's hair stood up.
However, after taking off the pocket watch, Song Siyuan could walk freely without the stagnation she had just now.
She quickly walked to her pocket watch, grabbed it and put it in her hand. When she moved forward, she felt stagnation again. No matter how she walked, there was a force pushing her back, preventing her from moving forward.
After thinking about it, Song Siyuan suddenly realized and said, "I understand, it's magnetism."
"If you have anything made of metal on you, throw it all out."
Everyone was unaware of the situation, but they still followed the instructions and threw all the iron pickaxes, daggers, necklaces, grave robbing shovels, chisels and other things from their bodies. As expected, these things were suspended in the air like pocket watches. At the same time, they felt a sense of stagnation instantly. dissipate.
Yue Guanchao took a few tentative steps, and sure enough he was able to walk freely again!
"How could this happen? Could it be that this old lady could sense that we were coming to open her tomb and wouldn't let us pass?"
Xu Xiake's question was shared by everyone else. Song Siyuan shook her head and denied, "No, it's magnetism. To be precise, it's the attraction and repulsion of magnets."
She continued to explain: "Four years ago, German scientists discovered the principle of electromagnetic levitation. The attraction and repulsion of magnets can be used to push the train forward. Such a train does not need wheels and engines, as long as the train and track are covered with n A magnet with poles and s poles can use the magnet's attraction and repulsion to keep moving forward."
"I remember clearly that three years ago, in 1922, the name of German engineer Hermann Kemper and his electromagnetic levitation patent appeared in the Scientific Labor Journal."
"But what does what you are talking about have to do with electromagnetic levitation?" Yue Guanchao was very puzzled.
Seeing him like this, Song Siyuan continued to explain: "Oh, whether it is electromagnetic levitation or natural magnets, their principles are nothing more than attraction and repulsion. You can understand them as two identical magnets, with only n poles and s poles. Only if two magnets are n-poles or s-poles at the same time will they be attracted to each other. They will never be able to attract each other because they repel each other."
After that, Song Siyuan picked up her notes, drew three squares, two large and one small, pointed at the notes and said: "The burial platform and caisson in front of us are actually two huge magnets, divided into S pole and N pole. At the same time, the small square in the middle also has s-poles and n-poles."
"The two poles of the small square and the upper and lower magnetic poles repel each other. For example, above the coffin are two S poles facing each other, and below the coffin are two N poles facing each other. When the same sex repels, the upper and lower parts of the coffin will form a mutually repelling force. The force makes it impossible for the coffin to be absorbed by the caisson or the burial platform, which has caused the phenomenon of hanging in the air."
She paused, then continued to draw a circle of n's and s' around the caisson and the burial platform, and continued to explain: "If this principle is extended to the left, right and front, then the magnetic force around the coffin will form a closed loop."
"You can understand that on the six sides of the coffin, there are six suction and repulsive forces from the caisson and the burial platform, which are like invisible ropes fixing it in mid-air, so that the coffin can be suspended by the burial platform and the caisson. It won’t move randomly due to the repulsion of the magnetic poles.”
"The metal on our body is instantly magnetized when entering the area of the burial platform and the caisson. Of course, it is also affected by these magnetic fields."
She pointed at the many metal tools rotating around the funeral platform and explained: "To be precise, the metal is not suspended in mid-air, but after magnetization, due to the principle of magnetic poles, it is constantly captured and pushed by the six-sided S pole and N machine. When open, they seem to be floating in circles in a circular magnetic field. If they had different magnetic poles on six sides like a coffin, they would probably be able to stay still and levitate without moving at all."
"Is your guess reliable? How did they transport such a big magnet?"
Yue Guanchao felt that natural magnets were rare, and if one carefully counted the caissons and burial platforms. There must be at least a dozen roofs ten paces long and wide to be comparable to the area of the burial platform.
“Use local materials!”
Song Siyuan looked around: "When we entered Yanshan Mountain, we were always curious about the wild geese being trapped in this place. It was probably because of magnetism. Of course, the concepts of magnetism and magnetic field are different, but we can still guess that this mountain It was once covered with natural magnets, but under the influence of the huge magnetism, the magnetic field perceived by the geese changed, and they were trapped here."
Some people died, but not completely...
