Mr. Hou and the others obviously did not notice the weirdness of these gems, nor did they realize that they had been in a daze for a long time. After being woken up by Chen Ran, they were all shocked by the scene in front of them. **Bubble! Book
.Bar*
Chen Ran had seen a palace that was almost as spectacular as this one or even bigger in his hometown of Baimodo, so although he was surprised just now, it was not too shocking. Moreover, he was also surprised by the gems inlaid on the surrounding walls, but Mr. Hou and them
It was different. They had never seen such a shocking scene before. What shocked them was not only the grandeur of the cave and the connected gems inlaid on the wall, but also the surrounding gems placed around the main hall.
Bronze vessels of various sizes.
In this circular hall, the central part with a diameter of about thirty meters is completely empty, but outside this square circle, there are layers of circles.
There are nine circles in total. It can also be said that this hall is like a circular arena. The center part is the stage, surrounded by rows of auditoriums. Now there are nine floors of auditoriums. Each floor
A circle on top of the circle is filled with bronze vessels of various sizes.
As I mentioned just now, this hall is huge, so there are more and more bronzes placed on these circles. Only on this floor near the center, there are almost hundreds of bronzes at a glance. This floor is considered
The least, and the ones on the outermost layer next to the surrounding stone walls are even more numerous. If the bronze vessels placed in the main hall are added together, there are probably at least several thousand.
These bronze vessels are large and small. The small ones are only as big as bowls and basins, but the large ones are five or six meters high. Moreover, the styles of these bronze vessels are not exactly the same. Some are oval, some are round, and even some are
Rectangular and square, but without exception, these bronze vessels are all furnaces.
To be more specific, it is the alchemy furnace!
Yes, even if you don't know anything about antiques, when you see these stoves, you immediately think of what they are used for.
If you have never eaten pork, you will always see pigs running away. Compared with the alchemy furnaces that often appear on TV and real alchemy furnaces, although they are not necessarily like that, they are not much wrong.
When Mr. Hou and the others saw these furnaces, they immediately recognized that these furnaces were alchemy furnaces, and then they understood that this was an alchemy room.
To be honest, although Mr. Hou and the others did not expect that their final destination would be the place where the ancients made alchemy, if there was only an alchemy furnace, they would not be so surprised, let alone shocked.
But the key thing is that there are so many alchemy furnaces here. When they were stunned by these alchemy furnaces, looking at the scene in front of them, they unconsciously imagined a scene.
This is a picture of workshop workers busy controlling machine production.
Obviously, the situation in front of you couldn't be more obvious. The alchemy room in front of you is like a factory, used for mass production of alchemy.
After the initial surprise and shock, President Hou and others, including Chen Ran, almost all thought of this situation. This made them unbelievable and at the same time, they couldn't help but feel strange.
In the history of China, there are countless stories and legends about alchemy. In particular, emperors of some dynasties, such as Qin Shihuang and Emperor Wu of Han, all believed that they could obtain the elixir of life through alchemy in order to achieve their imperial power.
Unify for thousands of years, for thousands of generations.
But whether one can live forever is obviously self-evident.
Let’s not talk about the authenticity of the alchemy technique for now, just say that in the imagination of Mr. Hou and others, the alchemy room is a legendary thing. When thinking of the alchemy room, they also think of the cave of the immortal. Needless to say, there is often only one alchemy room in the cave of the immortal.
furnace.
But what is the situation in front of me?
Even if the emperor was refining elixirs here in order to seek immortality, there was no need to refine so many elixirs, right? Did he not only want to become immortal himself, but he also wanted his people to become immortal as well?
Not only Mr. Hou and others couldn't figure this out, but Chen Ran couldn't figure it out either. But it was obvious that neither Chen Ran nor Mr. Hou thought much about it. They were not historians after all.
But it was obvious that Mr. Hou and the others were still very curious about this place. This curiosity even made them forget their own situation for a moment, and they were involuntarily attracted by everything in front of them.
The place where Chen Ran and the others emerged from the bronze door was in the center of the main hall. In the center of the main hall was an alchemy furnace.
Compared with those huge alchemy furnaces, this alchemy furnace is not big, but it is definitely the tallest. It is like a tower when placed here. Anyone who is not stupid can see this alchemy furnace and its surroundings.
The alchemy furnaces on display are not of the same grade.
If there are priorities among these alchemy furnaces, then this alchemy furnace is definitely the main alchemy furnace, and the others are auxiliary or secondary.
And it is obvious that this alchemy furnace is a Bagua furnace. This can be seen because there is a pattern of yin and yang fish underneath the alchemy furnace. This alchemy furnace is placed in the center of the yin and yang fish pattern, and in
Around the yin and yang fish pattern, there are big characters written in eight directions in each direction.
These big characters are all written in oracle bone script, and they are Qian, Kun, Xun, Dui, Gen, Zhen, Li and Kan.
Although Mr. Hou and the others do not recognize these characters, they can undoubtedly guess what these eight characters mean by looking at the patterns on the ground.
Chen Ran and the others got out from this position.
After looking at the Bagua furnace, Mr. Hou and the others turned around and looked at the other densely packed alchemy furnaces around them.
But obviously, in the face of so many alchemy furnaces, Mr. Hou was stunned when he looked at them, not to mention the others. Although they were shocked in their hearts, they didn't know what to do or what to say.
Chen Ran didn't care about them. He originally wanted to remind them to pay attention to the gems on their heads, but he found that when he looked at the gems again, he no longer had the same feeling at that time. It seemed like it was only the first time he saw them.
Only if that happens, it won’t have much impact when you look at it again later.
After discovering this, Chen Ran did not remind them. Instead, he and Xiaoyu looked at the Bagua furnace seriously.
Compared with other Bagua furnaces, this Bagua furnace seems to be a little older and a bit shabby. Although it is not rusty, it feels very worn out and has many traces. These traces are obvious.
It was man-made by smashing it with a hammer or grinding it with a knife.
Although it looks a bit shabby, this Bagua alchemy furnace still looks very exquisite. It is not ordinary at first glance, and there is a faint smell of alchemy coming out of the furnace.
Chen Ran's knowledge of the Bagua Furnace was limited to the Xuande Bagua Furnace, so he couldn't tell much after looking at it for a while.
Xiaoyu has seen a lot of Bagua furnaces, and even alchemy furnaces from ancient times. However, the style of the Bagua furnace in front of her is different from what she has seen before. The patterns on it have not been seen before, and even the patterns of the furnace have not been seen before.
Apart from the fact that it is made of copper, no other manufacturing material can be seen.
Unable to see anything, Chen Ran had to use Dan Qi to detect it, and found that the stove was 3,400 years old.
Chen Ran was surprised at first, but then he felt relieved when he remembered the three oracle bones he saw in front of the lava sea cave.
Those three oracle bone inscriptions, which are the longevity cave, must be the alchemy room in front of you.
Knowing where this place was, Chen Ran was not excited at all. After all, history had already proven that the so-called immortality was just nonsense.
That's what he thought, but Chen Ran had a vague feeling that it might not be that simple here.
He told Xiaoyu that this stove had a history of 3,400 years, and Xiaoyu was also extremely surprised. 3,400 years, if you calculate, China at that time should still be in the Shang Dynasty.
But if you think about it in that era, it would be excusable. This is because that era can almost be said to be the era when the saying "immortality" was most widely spread in China, ranging from the royal family to the nobles.
Almost everyone in Limin pursues longevity.
The reason why such a situation occurs is because of one person.
This person is none other than Peng Zu.
Peng Zu was not born in the Shang Dynasty, but it was during the Shang Dynasty that he became most famous.
Everyone must be familiar with Peng Zu. He is not only the originator of Chinese cooking and the first professional chef in China, but also the originator of Qigong, the originator of Chinese martial arts culture. He is also the originator of Fangzhong in my country and the earliest sexual master in China. He is also the ancestor of longevity in my country and the first health expert in China.
The most widely circulated legend about Peng Zu is undoubtedly his longevity.
According to legend, Pengzu lived from the Xia Dynasty to the end of the Shang Dynasty, a full 800 years old.
After detecting the historical age of the Bagua Furnace, Chen Ran used Dan Qi to explore all around the Bagua Furnace. However, except for the small door they got in, there was no way in or out of other parts.
.
Chen Ran was not disappointed when he couldn't find a way out. After all, this was what he expected. If he could find it so easily, the weirdo and his comrades wouldn't be trapped and die here. Thinking of what the weirdo said to him,
, he started looking for the items left behind by the weirdo and his comrades.
Although according to the weirdo, all his comrades were eaten by him, the things they brought with them should still be there.
Chen Ran hoped to find clues about how they entered this place from these things.
It would be better if there were information records and diaries.
Chen Ran originally wanted to search for it with alchemy energy, but who knew that he just glanced around and saw something hanging on an alchemy furnace on the second floor.
After seeing it, he hurriedly walked over, and Xiaoyu also followed. Huang Lele did not follow. She had no strength now. Compared with the environment they had experienced before, the environment here could not be better.
Okay, so when Chen Ran and Xiaoyu were observing the Bagua alchemy furnace, she sat directly on the ground leaning against the Bagua furnace. When Chen Ran and Xiaoyu left, she also saw it and wanted to follow.
She just stood for a moment without standing up. Seeing that Chen Ran and Xiaoyu hadn't gone far, she just sat there and rested.
Sitting on the ground resting with her were Huang Shaopeng, Zhang Yang and Wu Bing.
The three of them originally wanted to follow Chen Ran, but seeing that Chen Ran hadn't gone far, they were too tired and had no strength, so they stopped following. They just looked at Chen Ran and Xiaoyu from a distance.
On the other side, Mr. Hou also took Liu Qing and Sun Li to look around.
When Chen Ran and Xiaoyu walked to the place, they could clearly see what was hanging on the alchemy furnace. Seeing this thing, Chen Ran had expected it to be nothing, but Xiaoyu was shocked.
