Deep sea grease lamp, to put it simply, is to refine the fat of fish and then make it into lamp oil.
But there are many differences between grease lamps. Among them, the lowest grease lamps are made of ordinary fish oil and have no unique aroma when burning.
The other one is extracted from deep-sea whale fish oil, which has its own fragrance. Long-term use can calm people's minds, refresh their minds and clear their eyes.
Xiang recorded in a book that during the Qin Dynasty, people caught large numbers of dragon fish and used them to extract the oil from their bodies to make copper oil lamps for use by the royal family.
The dragon fish is what people often call the mermaid.
According to legend, mermaids often appeared in the sea in ancient times and were often seen by fishermen when fishing. Later, because they discovered the magical uses of dragon fish, they began to hunt them in large numbers.
Jiaoyu is good at weaving silk fabrics, and the silk fabrics weaved by it are not wetted by water and impermeable to water, making them the best among cloth rolls.
He also attracted much attention because his tears would turn into beads when he cried.
Because of the many wonderful qualities of the dragon fish, they suffered the calamity of annihilation. Therefore, they had a hatred of genocide between them and humans and had to live in seclusion.
The oil lamp that Xiao Yu saw now was not something from the dragon fish, but something from the deep sea monster of Sanhua cultivation.
The deep sea monster is in the cold water thousands of meters below. Its body is thin, but its fat is of the highest quality. It is used to make lamp oil, which can last for thousands of years and will not be stained by the cold.
The three-flower monster beast is the pinnacle of earthly immortals. Such a being is already the overlord of the ocean, and its strength reaches the sky.
However, now it is so miserable that his menstruation is removed, his skin is removed, and his fat is used to refine oil lamps. It is a bit creepy to think about it.
There is obviously some kind of formation installed in this cave, so the oil lamp will light up automatically after the stone door is opened.
The cold wind swept through and then slowly disappeared. At this time, the ice doors had all been opened, revealing a staircase made of thousands of years of black ice.
The stairs slowly go up, as if leading to another place, but if you look carefully, you will find that this ladder has no foundation and is just suspended in mid-air.
Thousands of years of ice is suspended in the air. Such a method can only be done by an immortal.
On both sides of the surrounding walls, there were two huge corpses, which were two strange beasts with human bodies and fish heads.
It's just that the heavenly spirit cover of this strange beast has been cut off, and a wick as thick as a baby's arm is placed inside.
"What a good guy, he actually used ten-thousand-year-old lamp grass to twist into a wick. This ice demon is really crazy."
Xiao Yu couldn't help but exclaimed.
When he heard the Ten Thousand Years Fairy Lamp Grass, the ghost corpse's eyes lit up, and then he sent a message:
"Since it's the Ten Thousand Years Immortal Grass, let's go get it?"
It is reasonable for the other party to have such thoughts. Anyone who encounters such a treasure will not be able to help but grab it.
However, if you snatch it rashly, not only will you not be able to snatch it away, but you will also be injured by it, because this is related to the production of lamp grass.
"It is said that the wicks of fairyland oil lamps are made of ten thousand-year-old fairy grass. This kind of wick is smokeless and odorless and will not shake in the wind and rain. It only needs the length of a thumb to burn for ten thousand years.
But this kind of wick is mostly used in sacrifices, because the sacrificial lamps cannot be extinguished.
In addition, temples also like to use this kind of wick, which means that the incense will last forever.
What's more, you can put a trace of your own soul into it, and your soul will never die, and the wick will never be extinguished.
If the wick goes out, it means that you may die or leave this world."
After Xiao Yu explained it to the ghost corpse, he already regarded this wick as his own.
"So powerful, those two monsters look like creatures from the deep sea. It seems that they were turned into oil lamps by the ice demon.
In this way, the ice demon is not a soft-hearted person."
As they talked, the two stepped into the ice gate at the same time.
The ice ladder in front of me stretches upwards, and I don't know where it leads.
"Don't worry about that wick for now, go up first and talk about it later."
The oil lamp was used for lighting, and maybe it contained some kind of mechanism. Once it touched something, it would still be a big trouble for them.
The ice ladders are arranged upward layer by layer. Although they are suspended in the air, it is not difficult for Xiao Yu and others.
However, since the other party placed the ice ladder here, I'm afraid he also has his own intentions.
"I'll go first, just follow."
The ghost corpse took one step forward and was already on the first ice ladder. Nothing strange happened.
Then the opponent shook a few times and continued to fly upwards for dozens of meters before giving Xiao Yu a signal.
Seeing that the other party was so safe, Xiao Yu also took a long breath, then wrapped himself in the power of the fairy spirit, and with a flick of his feet, he rushed towards the first staircase.
However, as soon as his feet stepped on the ice ladder, a sudden force hit him directly.
Xiao Yu was suddenly hit by this force, and his body retreated again.
"Quack, little Sanhua Taoist dares to step on the Immortal Staircase."
In the ice cave, a strange and sinister voice suddenly came, and then a white light flew out of the body with the fairy lamp grass inserted in it, and turned into a man with a pockmarked face.
After Xiao Yu landed, he saw a handprint appeared on his chest in vain, and he couldn't help but be secretly shocked. If he hadn't had soft armor to help him, he might have been seriously injured just now.
"You are the guardian of the corpse. Since you know that we are coming, why didn't you come to see us earlier?"
Xiao Yu looked at the man and said calmly.
"Hey, wouldn't it be possible to bring you in if I showed up earlier?"
The soul of the pockmarked man was floating around, with a strange smile in his voice.
Upon hearing what the other party said, Xiao Yu's expression suddenly tightened.
"What's the meaning?"
Xiao Yu looked around and asked pretending to be confused.
"what for?
The Ice Demon Abyss connects the four seas, and if the envoys are replaced, the soul cannot survive."
The pockmarked man muttered to himself, and then, Xiao Yu only heard a roar, and the ice door suddenly closed.
Huhuhu...
Above the ice cave and around the ice ladder, several wicks suddenly lit up again.
At this time, Xiao Yu discovered that at some point, many guards appeared on the wall above the ice cave again.
However, the guards at this time are all humans. Some of them are women, some are old men, and some are strange beasts.
Without exception, all human beings' heavenly spirit caps have been removed, with a wick inserted inside.
Xiao Yu looked at those people, and his expression suddenly became serious, because those people were all emitting white light, and seemed to have the most upright immortal energy.
But if you look carefully, you will find that the pure immortal energy is also mixed with some mottled spiritual energy, so they should be at the peak of earth immortals and have not yet broken through to heavenly immortals.
"Who are you and why have you ended up in this situation?"
Xiao Yu took out his wooden sword and looked at the other person cautiously.
"Hey, didn't I tell you before, we are the ice demon messengers here, and you are the next one."
The pock-marked man looked at Xiao Yu, then his mouth suddenly split open, and then his body rolled and turned into a huge black whale shark.
Behind the whale shark, endless sea water suddenly rolled up and swept towards Xiao Yu's location.
Seeing this, Xiao Yu waved the wooden sword in his hand, and then the fairy fire surged out of his body and turned into a huge fire phoenix, confronting the shark and whale.
