This chapter explains in detail the phenomenon of pandas eating iron:) Is it okay to ask for tickets next month? It was marked down on the homepage, and the light and darkness are pitiful...

***

Hum, I’m very happy. There are so many delicious foods here, there is a long and hard golden delicacy. Although it is a little harder, it is very satisfying to chew. There are also the round and easy-to-get-in-the-dips. This is its favorite. There are not many things on the mountain. Occasionally, there are a few, and they are hidden strongly by those people. How can they compare to here? There are a few boxes, and you can eat as much as you want.

He was extremely excited and turned around in the warehouse. His front paws were holding a bronze sword, and his black and white stupid body rolled around in the pile of money, as if he had discovered Alibaba's treasure house, and needed a carnival to celebrate.

Unfortunately, the bronze sword was still too hard. He was very hard and he only bitten some dents on the sword. It was much worse than the soft copper fragrance and crispy Qin Yuan, so he quickly got bored of the old and threw the bronze sword aside and began to concentrate on enjoying the deliciousness of money.

"Stop this monster quickly, it's all money!"

Bai Chi had fainted once, and he needed to faint again depending on the situation. It was really heartbreaking. He didn't have to calculate carefully. He just glanced at his eyes and knew that the monster had enough food for half a month. It was the best Qin Yuanfu, even copper rust was rare, and it just got into the monster's stomach! If he could choose, Bai Chi would rather be eaten by his old bones.

The strong men of the Bai family heard the old housekeeper's orders, but no one dared to move. The monster was too fierce. He looked stupid, but his movements were as fast as lightning. When he first discovered it, the leading old military master took away his sword. I still remember that during training, the master was the most awesome. He once easily snatched weapons from them with one against three, saying that this was the famous "eat soldiers with nothing" method in the army. This bear is not like a bear, and a monster that is not like a dog seems to be more skillful than the old military master. I saw a black and white beast shadow flashing, and the old military master's hands were empty?

The strong men didn't dare to go up, but the young master was energetic and called him ~ Mom, what kind of monster is this? Look at me taking it! I'll charge when I draw out my sword. I'm going to stage a knight story about uncle and young master's family library fighting monsters. This kind of story is what Cao'er listened to when he listened to his brother's story. There is a soldier called knight in the story, who is specialized in dealing with monsters who love to collect money. The round and furry thing in front of me is much worse than the monster in the story, and it should be a soft persimmon.

"Don't bully it. It's so cute!"

Cao'er, who had been hiding behind Bai Dong's butt for a long time, suddenly stepped forward and grabbed the young master Shaoguan who was excited. Obviously, what he was worried about was not the warrior who wanted to "slay the dragon", but humming the "evil dragon". Girls are born to be shaming of round and furry things, and they can easily sit in a crooked butt when facing cute people.

“It’s eating your family’s money!”

The dragon-slaying warrior was actually criticized by the little princess? This made the young master with thick lines very disappointed. Now he has started reading the Book of Songs, and the feelings of this stimulus have become much more delicate.

"Don't disturb the young official. Let it eat, how much can it eat?"

Bai Dong spoke, unlike Lao Baichi who was heartbroken. The more he ate, the happier he seemed to be. He was so friendly that he actually saw the national treasure two thousand years ago? Although this national treasure was a little different from the guy who made a living by acting cutely in later generations, it was closer to the reality of history.

Pandas are the divine beast Pixiu. Legend has it that Huangdi brought the trained tiger, leopard, pixiu to attack the enemy during the Battle of Banquan. It is also recorded in the "Shan Hai Jing" that pandas feed on gold and iron. They are called iron-eating beasts.

As early as when he was in college, Bai Dong had argued with several friends in the same room whether this was a myth or a reality. The opposing buddies believed that this was a misunderstanding, and also cited the example of pandas lacking salt and licking other people's iron pots and being misunderstood as "iron-eating beasts". They believed that "Shan Hai Jing" was originally a myth and could not be proved.

"Shan Hai Jing" is a myth, so the "New Qixie Collection" by Yuan Mei, a scholar in the Qing Dynasty, isn't it a myth? With Yuan Mei's status in the academic world, he will definitely not describe it randomly, but he recorded in detail the story of pandas eating iron in the book - "There are tapir beasts in Fang County who like to eat copper and iron without hurting people. People like plowing, hoeing, knives, and axes, they salivate and eat like rotten. The iron sheet wrapped on the city gate is all the food they eat'.

According to Yuan Mei's records, when pandas see plows, hoes, knives and axes, they will drool. Could it be that these things also contain the salt they need? And after drooling, they will also have to 'eat it like rot'. Even the iron sheet wrapped on the city gate was eaten up by it?

In addition, Bai Juyi, a great poet of the Tang Dynasty, also said in "Papin Praise" that it only ate copper and iron. Cao Xueqi, a geographer of the Ming Dynasty, also said in "Guangji of Shuzhong", that pandas make a living by iron, and can reach dozens of kilograms in a moment! Therefore, it is called Mengshi Beast or Iron Eating Beast, which is not something that can be explained by licking a few iron pots.

Of course, just writing records is not enough. People who study the law also need to do detailed logical analysis. Bai Dong believes that it is not credible to lick iron pots for salt. Not to mention the mythical era, even in the pre-Qin period, a large part of human salt intake was obtained from animal meat. Pandas can have a slit tiger and leopard. If they need salt, they cannot obtain it from animals. Instead, they have to snatch human iron pots in a far-reaching way? Is this a panda or a social activist? Is it a clear person to humans?

It should be that the panda's body lacks certain nutrients, such as iron elements, which can cause iron consumption. Similar situations are also seen in humans. Some people suddenly refuse to eat, and instead eat bricks, stones, and glass. With human teeth, they can bite bricks and stones. How much internal motivation is needed? Modern pandas use bamboo as food to eat, and their teeth are much better than humans. Are the wild giant pandas in ancient times better?

Moreover, before the invention of the method of stir-frying steel, iron mostly refers to smelting iron! The short sword made of it will bend on the enemy's armor and need to be stepped straight on the ground before it can continue to be used; there is no need to mention copper, it is also a soft metal, bronze will be harder, but it is not the steel of later generations! Based on the above reasons, it is not surprising that giant pandas in ancient times eat gold and iron.

What made Bai Dong wonder was the digestion problem of pandas after eating iron. He could only infer that pandas secrete gastric acid far better than ordinary organisms. Otherwise, how would giant pandas digest bamboo in later generations? And how would humans suffering from "pica" digest bricks and glass? However, this is just an inference. In modern times, there was no chance to catch a national treasure and study it carefully. Unexpectedly, in the Warring States Period two thousand years ago, an iron-eating panda appeared. This proved that his previous inference was correct. How could he be unhappy?

"Don't be afraid, this is the magical beast Pixiu, a natural auspiciousness. This thing appears in my house, which represents peace and luck. Let it eat enough. Pixiu appears in Daqin. This is not a blessing for my family, but the prosperity of the old Qin country. I also want to take it to Liyang to seek rewards from the emperor! Young officials, isn't the birthday of the country's wife coming? This Pixiu is probably sent by God to celebrate the lady. How much should the lady of the country feed it?"

The young master Shaoguan looked at Bai Dong blankly: "Brother, no wonder you don't feel sorry for me. It turns out that he wants my family to pay?"

"Haha, brother, am I such a stingy person? Even if I don't say anything about the auspicious beast from the sky, Jun Shang and his wife will take the initiative to pay. What if you don't believe it, what if you bet?"

"I believe that I will lose by betting with my brother." Otherwise, reading can open up wisdom, this guy is getting smarter now.

Bai Dong is not a false statement. Pixiu was a lucky beast as early as the time of Emperor Huangdi. Even in the pre-Qin period, it usually hides in the mountains of Sichuan and Shu. It is rarely involved in barren land. Suddenly, a Pixiu appeared in Liyang. It would be strange if Lao Yinglian and Li Jiang were not crazy. Nowadays, Lao Qin needs legends!

"Don't be afraid of grass. Pixiu is a good beast and a good friend of ours. It won't hurt people. Do you want to touch it? Come with your brother..."

Bai Dong was a little excited. National treasures can only be viewed from a distance and cannot be played with in the future. Today, I finally had the opportunity to get in close contact. I pulled the grass that was still a little timid and walked to Heehen and said to it with a smile: "Little guy, is my copper coins delicious? Do you want to live in my house from now on and eat a lot of copper coins every day?"
