Chapter 610 Physical Immortality
"Cough cough cough... Did Chi You's shoddy construction project get sabotaged by his subordinates cutting corners? No matter how old it is, it shouldn't have collapsed so quickly! We didn't even have time to run down!"
Hawkeye stood on the ruins, coughing and complaining about the poor quality of the ancient building. Qin An raised his hand to clear away the remaining dust and mist in front of him, his sharp gaze sweeping over the edge of the pit above his head.
The crater they were in was enormous!
If the wooden planks of this ancient building hadn't become so soft, and if it hadn't been constructed entirely with mortise and tenon joints, there would have been no casualties.
If a tetanus shot were to occur, the bronze nail would pierce the flesh.
With current medical conditions.
I'm afraid all we can do is wait to die!
"Brother Qin An... what are you looking at?" Zhang Yunfeng noticed that Qin An kept looking up at the edge of the pit above his head, so he quickly adjusted his glasses, raised his flashlight, and looked up as well.
Just as the ancient building collapsed, people didn't have time to scatter to a corner.
Qin An simply tore off two door panels and held them above his head to shield everyone from falling pieces of wood. The fact that the archaeological team has achieved zero casualties is largely thanks to Qin An's quick thinking.
“I’m looking at those stone statues… those stone statues look a bit like the ones I saw on the first floor of the ancient building!” Qin An frowned.
"The first floor? How come they're there? Did they grow legs and run there themselves?" Shao Wei quickly stepped forward and interjected.
Zhang Yunfeng frowned and said, "Could it be that their positions changed... that caused this ancient building to collapse?"
Hear this.
Qin An shook his head, indicating that he didn't know either.
But I always felt that the presence of those stone statues around this large pit was not a coincidence, and that something dangerous might happen.
"Everyone be careful! Get down from this pile of rubble first! I have a feeling there's still danger." Qin An said, first urging the archaeological team to stand in a safe place.
Having just faced death, the members of the archaeological team did not hesitate at all... and quickly followed Qin An's instructions to stand in a relatively safe place.
at this time.
When Xie Wenjing looked down, she realized that the ground beneath her feet was not ordinary. She let out a soft exclamation and said, "This is... Guanyin soil?"
The rest of the archaeological team heard this.
He also kept looking down at his feet.
The soil beneath their feet was not the usual black or brownish-yellow, but a rare white mixed with white-gray.
"What is Guanyin soil?" Yang Lele asked.
Xie Wenjing explained: "Guanyin clay, also known as kaolin, bentonite, etc., is a white or grayish-white clay with a very fine and smooth texture."
talking.
Xie Wenjing squatted down and picked up a bit of Guanyin soil with her fingers, then smelled it. "The reason it's called Guanyin soil is because during famines in ancient times, people would eat this kind of soil when they were starving. It gave them a feeling of fullness. They thought it was the soil that Guanyin Bodhisattva had bestowed upon them to save their lives, so it was called Guanyin soil."
At this time.
Jiang Liuli then asked, "The soil here is Guanyin soil... and then what?"
The meaning behind the words is quite clear.
This thing isn't worth their time figuring out, is it?
But Xie Wenjing shook her head firmly and said:
"That's the problem... Kaolin clay is only found in Zhejiang, Shanxi, Yunnan, Jiangxi, and Jiangsu provinces in my country. I've never heard of it being found in the Changbai Mountains."
So I think the clay here was transported here with great difficulty by the people who built Chiyou's tomb, but what they were going to do with it... I have no idea.
Hear this.
The archaeological team fell silent for a moment.
Surely the clay they brought over wasn't meant to be eaten?
If you eat this stuff, you won't even be able to poop... The people who built Chi You's tomb must not be that stupid!
After a while.
Gu Wuyan's face showed a struggle as she said, "I think I've been to Jiangxi before. There's a lot of Guanyin clay there, and the people there use it to fire pots and jars!"
Xie Wenjing nodded and said, "You're most likely going to Jingdezhen in Jiangxi Province, where porcelain production is particularly large."
"Uh-huh."
Gu Wuyan nodded and continued, "I heard a story there about a person who had an ancient book passed down from his ancestors. It contained stories about achieving immortality through physical means, and that person even tried to do it! In the end, he died."
Achieving immortality in the physical body?
The archaeological team grasped this key point.
Qin An asked, "How did you train?"
"It's a very strange method... a 49-day physical training session! For the first 12 days, you only eat vegetables, for the next 12 days you only eat rain and dew, and for the next 12 days you only eat Guanyin clay! Finally, you put yourself in a kiln made of Guanyin clay and leave it there for 12 days!"
After 12 days, on the 13th day, let his descendants open the kiln to check his body. If the body is dehydrated but not decaying, then he has become an immortal.
to be frank.
This story sounds like it's just a joke to fool idiots.
But Xie Wenjing couldn't help but ask, "What is the fate of those who practice this method?"
Gu Wuyan pouted and said, "What else could it be? By the time his descendants open the kiln, it will already stink."
Hear this.
The archaeological team members were all disappointed!
It seems that most of the so-called ancient books and ancient texts are fraudulent.
The author of this book might be surprised to hear this story and say: "Dude! I just wrote this casually! You're actually going to practice it like this? If it were that effective, I would have started practicing long ago!"
Just as the archaeological team finished hearing this anticlimactic story and were preparing to find the exit to the main tomb chamber of Chi You, a stone statue by the pit suddenly fell down!
"Puff-"
Although this pit is quite deep.
However, the clay was fine and soft, so the stone statue was not shattered into pieces, but only broken in two.
"this......."
The archaeological team first looked at the stone statue, then at Qin An's expression, unsure whether to continue searching for the gate of life or go check on the stone statue.
"Let's go! Go over and take a look!"
Qin An felt that such a coincidence was unlikely.
Therefore, he decided to go and take a look at the stone statue first, hoping to get some clues.
As soon as these words came out.
The members of the archaeological team gathered around the stone statue.
Qin An discovered that the stone statue that had fallen from the edge of the pit was the same Shennong statue he had seen in the ancient building on the first floor!
"As expected, it was these stone statues that ran out of the ancient building and activated the mechanism!" Qin An thought to himself.
He didn't say anything!
To avoid causing panic among the rest of the archaeological team, it would require considerable effort to appease them.
