Chapter 421: Never Extinguished, Human Oil Anointing
Not long after Liu Shiba's sigh, the cold night fell without any surprise...
Liu Shiba and his party of four spent the night on the hill opposite the canyon surrounded by mountains.
Before the sun rises over the canyon, the first hint of fish belly white appears in the east.
Immediately afterwards, thousands of rays of rays reflected the white clouds and spread to the earth. At the same time, they also fell on Liu Shiba's face, who was standing on the top of the mountain and staring.
"Liu Shiba, are you up so early?"
Zheng Liyuan teased Liu Shiba with sleepy eyes.
"You got up early enough."
Liu Shiba looked back with a smile!
"I feel like there's something on your mind. Are you really a tomb robber? Or the gold captain?"
Zheng Liyuan asked doubtfully.
"Yeah! That's right."
Liu Shiba nodded lightly, there was nothing to hide.
At this time, Liu Qian and Qin Da also packed their bags and walked behind Liu Shiba.
"Go to the canyon now?"
Liu Qian's eyes flashed with excitement.
Although he is a Chinese agent, or a descendant of the Red Handkerchief of the Five Elements and Three Families, this kind of tomb robbing is his first time in his life, and it is absolutely exciting.
Liu Shiba glanced at Liu Qian speechlessly and explained:
"I have already made a preliminary guess, judging from the coordinates and bracelet left by Hitler, that this should be the location of an ancient tomb."
Liu Qian was surprised and said:
"Could it be that there is really the tomb of Genghis Khan?"
Liu Qian was referring to the canyon opposite, surrounded by mountains on all sides.
"Who knows? No one knows what's going on without checking it out with your own eyes."
Liu Shiba explained lightly.
Liu Qian looked at the direction of the canyon from a distance and said strangely:
"I don't see anything special about this canyon!"
Liu Shiba smiled mysteriously and said:
"The special place should be inside the canyon, such as the Gate of Hell you mentioned earlier. At dawn, let's go there and take a look first."
"Is it okay if I don't go? I'll wait for you on this hill."
A trace of fear appeared on Zheng Liyuan's face.
Liu Shiba frowned and turned around, glancing at the high heels of Zheng Liyuan's shoes that had been ripped off.
"It's okay if you don't go. I'll leave you something to eat here. You must be careful. Turn off your phone and don't expose yourself."
Liu Shiba said solemnly.
Indeed, Zheng Liyuan in her current state is not suitable to act with them.
After speaking, Liu Shiba turned over his hands, took out three engineering shovels from his backpack, and handed them to Liu Qian, Qin Da and Zheng Liyuan respectively.
These engineering shovels were made by the bandit Ailian Hu himself. They have been placed in Liu Shiba's dimension since they left the Qinling Ancient Tombs. Unexpectedly, they would be put to use again this time.
"Walk!"
Liu Shiba waved his hand and walked resolutely down the mountain, his goal: the canyon opposite, surrounded by mountains on all sides. In that canyon, there is the Gate of Hell, which is famous in Ukraine.
Standing on the hill, seeing the figures of Liu Shiba, Liu Qian and Qin Da gradually disappearing away, Zheng Liyuan's eyes flashed with a strange light.
After a while, Zheng Liyuan took out an extremely small communicator from a hidden place on her body...
"I am Zheng Liyuan, the target has entered the canyon..."
………………
The entire canyon is surrounded by mountains on all sides, and there is an abandoned railway track on the outside leading to the distance.
On the other side of the rusty rails is the hill where Liu Shiba and others were standing just now. Below is the tunnel where the ghost train once appeared.
There is only a path that is more than fifty meters wide leading into the valley.
At this moment, Liu Shiba, Liu Qian, and Qin Da were walking quietly on the path in the valley.
The entire canyon seemed extremely quiet, with no trace of people, birds or animals.
Looking at the eight mountains surrounding the canyon, Liu Shiba had a vague illusion. Why is this terrain so familiar?
Yes, it feels familiar. It seems to be very similar to the surrounding terrain of the real Qin Shihuang Tomb in Qinling Mountains.
He didn't notice anything at first, but now that he saw two almost identical terrains, Liu Shiba became secretly alert.
"Where is the gate to hell you mentioned?"
Liu Shiba looked at Liu Qian and asked.
"It's in the innermost part of the canyon, near the foot of the innermost mountain wall. It's about five hundred square meters in size."
Liu Qian stretched out his hand and pointed forward.
Liu Shiba nodded and walked faster into the canyon!
Qin Da walked at the end, looking around vigilantly.
………………
Half an hour later, Liu Shiba and the others were standing on the edge of a large fire pit surrounded by no grass.
"Is this the gate to hell?"
Liu Shiba stared at the fire pit in front of him strangely.
In other words, a fire pit lit by open natural gas...
"Yes, this is the gate to hell."
Liu Qian confirmed Liu Shiba's guess.
"Isn't this just a natural gas outlet that was accidentally ignited? There are many ways to completely extinguish it."
Liu Shiba said doubtfully.
Liu Qian heard this and smiled bitterly:
"Many of the methods you mentioned have been tried and completely ineffective.
The Ukrainian authorities even sealed it with a completely enclosed steel cover for several months, but the fire of hell has never gone away and is still burning."
Liu Shiba was stunned and said strangely:
"It's strange. Unless air is not needed to burn natural gas, it is impossible that it cannot be extinguished."
As he spoke, Liu Shiba's face was blank, he looked at Liu Qian and said:
"Unless it's not natural gas that's burning?"
"Impossible. Is there anything in the world that can burn without air?"
Liu Qian asked back.
Liu Shiba said nothing, but Qin Da, who was walking behind the two of them on guard, muttered:
"Yes, human oil ointment!"
Liu Shiba and Liu Qian were shocked when they heard this!
"Human oil ointment?"
Liu Qian said stupidly.
Seeing Liu Shiba staring at him, Qin Da quickly explained:
"I used to know something about human oil ointment, which is also corpse oil."
Liu Shiba suddenly realized:
"Yes, the weird corpse oil has such weird properties!"
Corpse oil generally refers to corpses. After a high degree of decomposition, the fat turns into a paste and slowly overflows from the skin surface.
Corpse oil can be found casually on corpses that have been exposed to the sun for three or four days in relatively high temperatures.
In some relatively backward areas, there is another saying that the shaman cuts off the chin of a dead pregnant woman and burns it with a candle, and the oil that drips is corpse oil.
It is said that corpse oil has some strange properties that can help women attract men. There are rumors that some special professionals often use it and rub it on their eyebrows to attract men.
After understanding what corpse oil was, Liu Qian couldn't help but be stunned, pointing to the gate of hell not far away:
"Don't tell me, what's burning inside this Gate of Hell is not natural gas, but corpse oil?"
Liu Shiba smiled lightly and said:
"I don't know if it's corpse oil, but my nose doesn't lie.
We have been standing here for a long time, do you smell the natural gas?"
Liu Qian was stunned, shook his head and said:
"It's really not obvious. In other words, I don't smell the smell of natural gas. But you can't prove that it's corpse oil, right?
Don’t forget, this fire pit has been burning for forty years. If it’s corpse oil, how many corpses would it take to brew the corpse oil?”
A hint of ferocity appeared on Liu Shiba's face, and he turned back and smiled strangely:
"By the way, I forgot to ask you, how many people did the Mongols kill back then?"
Liu Qian's expression changed drastically, and he gritted his teeth and said:
“The massacre and genocide record of the Mongol Empire is unprecedented, and 67 million people in China died directly from the massacre.
If, together with the population of Central Asia, West Asia and Eastern Europe, a total of about 200 million people would die."
Liu Shiba laughed ferociously, pointed at the strange flames burning in the gate of hell in front of him, and asked:
"Is 200 million people enough to boil this big pot of human oil and keep it burning for a hundred years?"
Liu Qian was sweating like rain, with fear on his face, and said in a trembling voice:
"enough……"
