"Do you think this is not a tomb from the Han Dynasty?”Jia Yan frowned and asked.
"I've seen the gold cake that the thin man picked up. This kind of gold cake is a unique thing in the Han Dynasty. He was certain that this was a tomb from the Han Dynasty.”Old Jiao shook his head.
On the back of the gold cake of the Han Dynasty, there was a word engraved with the word 'Shang'. It could be understood as a high-grade currency.
In the Han Dynasty, gold cakes were only circulated between the royal family and the courtiers. Many ministers or relatives of the royal family had the habit of storing gold.
Ministers would occasionally pay tribute to the royal family or the royal family during special periods such as birthday banquets. The main item of tribute was gold cakes. The royal family would give these people a certain reward according to the color and purity of the gold cakes.
And among the people, this golden pancake was actually not circulated.
Therefore, Old Jiao Ke was certain that this was definitely a tomb from the Han Dynasty. Moreover, this person's status was definitely not simple during the Han Dynasty.
However, the only problem was that if they were relatives of the imperial family, the tombs and carriages should not be like this.
This was completely different from the Han Dynasty tombs that had been unearthed in China.
Among the known tombs excavated from the Han Dynasty, this carriage house was not so big, and there were not so many carriages.
Most importantly, in many tombs, the carriage houses were only built in the shape but not in the essence.
However, the tomb they were in now was different. The ceiling of the tomb was very high. This was the complete opposite of the tombs that had been unearthed.
"This tomb is most likely an underground palace.”Old Jiao thought for a moment and said.
The underground palace was completely different from ordinary tombs. Ordinary tombs only had coffins placed in them and some funerary decorations. There would not be a building of such scale.
For example, some ministers and the like, although they were also high and powerful at that time, other than the main tomb, the other places did not have enough space like the living environment of humans.
"Hey! Old Yan, Old Jiao! Come and take a look! Damn, I found a treasure!" The thin man shouted excitedly.
He was standing in front of the bronze tree's eternal lamp. When Jia Yan and Old Jiao walked over to him, he was trying to blow out the candle flame on the lamp.
However, no matter how he tried, the flame only swayed with the wind and showed no signs of extinguishing.
"Old Yan! You know the most about crooked ways. Why don't you tell me why this thing can't be extinguished?”The thin man pulled Jia Yan and asked.
"What you know is the crooked way! This is an orthodox Daoist technique!" Jia Yan pushed the thin man to the side in a bad mood.
However, the thin man's face was not something that Jia Yan could overcome with just two moves.
"Hey, don't you think this is a treasure? Why can't he destroy it?" The thin man came up again.
Jia Yan carefully observed for a while. Occasionally, a small red dot would light up at the wick of the bronze tree's Everlasting Lamp, just like burning charcoal. Moreover, after a period of time, this little red dot would slowly dim, and then another little red dot would light up.
"This thing should be made of a special fuel. The reason why it couldn't be blown out was probably because of this special fuel.”Jia Yan thought for a moment and said.
"The old man is right. In fact, there was once an American who studied this thing for 31 years. In the end, he solved the secret of the eternal lamp.”Old Jiao continued to explain to the two of them.
This American was called Simon Efick, a physics and chemistry teacher in the state of idaho.
Eternal lanterns were not only found in tombs in China. In many foreign countries, the more famous tombs in history had eternal lanterns.
Simon had been very interested in the Everlasting Lamp since he was young, but unfortunately, no expert scholar could explain the mystery of the Everlasting Lamp.
In order to answer his curiosity, Simon read a lot of books about the ancient tomb magic lamp and found that there was a striking similarity in the records about the eternal lamp. In the tomb where the eternal lamp was found, other than the burning eternal lamp, there were other lamps.
Some of them would burn together with the eternal lamp, but most of them were extinguished lamps.
After 31 years of painstaking research and more than 700 experiments, Simon finally created the Everlasting Lamp.
Simon mixed yellow phosphorus with other flammable substances to create a new substance that was not volatile in the air but could ignite slowly.
The lamp made of this new material could only burn for 50 hours under normal conditions, but Simon said that the lamp he made was indeed an eternal lamp.
Simon explained that before the tomb of the ancient dignitaries was sealed, there was a long-lasting lamp similar to the one he made himself, as well as many ordinary oil lamps. As the tomb door closed, the large number of ordinary oil lamps quickly exhausted the air in the tomb. At this moment, all the lamps, including the eternal lamp, went out.
No matter how much time passed, even if it was hundreds or thousands of years, as long as someone entered the tomb, they would definitely bring in fresh air, which would ignite the Eternal Light that would spontaneously combust under normal conditions. This was the secret that the Eternal Light would still be lit when people entered the ancient tomb that was thousands of years old.
After listening to Old Jiao's explanation, the thin man scratched his head. "That's not right, Old Jiao. Our Burial Cave has been open for a long time, and the Eternal Light only lit up after we came down!”
"I think Simon's proof is correct. The Everlasting Light is indeed made of a special fuel. However, I don't think that the Eternal Light will be as simple as Simon said.”; Old Jiao said.
China had experienced more than 5,000 years of history. How could the things that had been settled down be comparable to those barbarian lands? Perhaps the foreigners did use this method to make the Everlasting Light, but the Everlasting Light of China was definitely more exquisite than the foreigners.
The ancient China was ahead of all the countries in this world in terms of technology.
"No matter what, this thing is definitely a good treasure! Not to mention the shape of the bronze tree, just this undying candle flame alone could definitely be sold for a high price!”The thin man was abnormally excited. As he spoke, he was about to take the Eternal Light out of the hole.
"I think... Why don't we move this Everlasting Light out and withdraw it?”Jia Yan didn't care if they moved the Ever-Bright Lamp. But Jia Yan was indeed a little timid.
Judging from the layout of this tomb, this ancient tomb was definitely not simple. It had already involved formations and evil techniques that even the person who wrote the book had never seen before.
Such a thing could take their lives at any time.
Although he was a little timid, Jia Yan was also curious. He also wanted to know what other legendary things existed here. Jia Yan's pill was very contradictory.
"Don't! It wasn't easy for him to kill the dumpling in the stone coffin. Wouldn't it be a pity to go back like this? At the very least, I should be able to see what kind of divine being the owner of this tomb is!”When Jia Yan said this, the thin man became anxious.
