Chapter 80 Suihou Zhu
"I go!?"
Seeing this sudden situation, Wu Liang felt nervous and rushed over to shake Dian Wei.
"Brother Dianwei? Brother Dianwei? Wake up!"
But no matter how much he shook or how loudly he shouted, Dian Wei always lay motionless on the ground, his eyes blurred, like a body that had had three souls and seven souls removed.
Wu Liangliang was secretly shocked.
When he saw these two eyes just now, especially after seeing the arrangement of the mica and jade gems in the eyes, he already understood the reason why these eyes would rotate and make people feel like they were being sucked in.
This is an optical illusion called the "Fraser spiral illusion."
This illusion was proposed by a man named Fraser in 1908, and the principle was explained in detail. Taking these eyes as an example, the explanation is: those regularly arranged mica and gemstones and jade make up many
A small directional cell. The grouping and aggregation of these small cells will make the spiral route obvious. There are many cells with similar functions in the human visual cortex. These cells are connected horizontally and influence each other, which will make the spiral route obvious.
The simple continuous lines formed on the retina are tilted due to the directional cells, creating the illusion that the still picture is rotating. Therefore, when humans look at such graphics, they will experience an unreal dizziness due to the constant rotation of the picture.
feel.
It's quite complicated to put it this way, but it's much easier to understand if you talk about it in human terms. To put it bluntly, it's: these eyes themselves don't move, it's our own eyes that send the wrong information.
The eyes in front of me are undoubtedly proof that "the wisdom of the ancients cannot be underestimated."
The theory that was only proposed in 1908 was already presented in this way by our ancestors more than two thousand years ago, which is amazing.
Also because he quickly saw through the "secret" of these eyes, Wu Liang naturally did not believe that Dian Wei was really possessed by evil spirits and lost his soul. However, looking at Dian Wei's current condition, Dian Wei seemed to have been possessed by some kind of evil spirit.
The secret of hypnosis hidden in those eyes.
In the 21st century, there are indeed some pictures drawn using the "Fraser Spiral Illusion" for psychological hypnosis, and the effect is several times stronger than shaking a pocket watch. After all, the pictures give people an unreal sense of dizziness.
, many times more intense than shaking a pocket watch.
But he really didn't expect that these eyes actually had a hypnotic effect.
"Brother Dianwei? Hello!"
Wu Liang shook him vigorously a few more times, but Dian Wei still didn't come back to his senses.
It seems that this is still a kind of deep hypnosis, but fortunately Wu Liang knows that it is not difficult to break the hypnosis instantly, as long as there is enough external stimulation.
for example……
Wu Liang decisively grabbed Dian Wei's fingernail with his thumbnail and pinched it hard.
The philtrum is an important acupoint for awakening the brain and resuscitating the mind. The most prominent and clear function in traditional Chinese medicine is to treat emergencies.
Whether it is heatstroke, stroke, coma, convulsions, syncope, shock, carbon monoxide poisoning, or even respiratory arrest during general anesthesia, the method of stimulating the philtrum can be used for first aid.
Even if your legs are numb after sitting for a long time, you can immediately relieve the condition by pinching the middle part of your body.
Of course, this method can also be used to wake up people who have entered deep hypnosis, and the effect is amazing.
really.
"hiss--!"
With this pinch, Dian Wei's body immediately trembled, and he took in a big breath, and his distracted eyes instantly regained some agility.
"Sima, what did I just..."
Seeing Wu Liang, Dian Wei's face was filled with surprise and he fully understood what had just happened.
"You were fascinated by those eyes just now, but I have pulled you back. Now you will be fine if you don't look at those eyes anymore."
Wu Liang said with a smile.
This is not to forcefully pretend to be superior in front of Dian Wei, but mainly because the Fraser spiral illusion and hypnosis are too complicated to explain. I am afraid that Dian Wei, an aborigine, will not be able to understand it for a while, and some unexpected things may happen.
Misunderstandings will become even more unclear when the time comes.
"Thank you Sima for the rescue."
Dian Wei thanked him immediately, but when he turned around, he saw Bai Jingjing lying on the ground with her eyes still distracted, and subconsciously asked, "Then this girl..."
"Don't worry about her for now. Let's go into the inner room to check. It won't be too late to bring her back when we leave later."
Wu Liang chuckled, blinked and said.
In this way, he won't have this burden to supervise him. If there are any good things in the inner room that are good and convenient to hide, he can secretly bring more of them. Why not?
…
Bypassing the screen, Wu Liang and Dian Wei entered the inner room together.
The first thing that catches the eye is a stone dragon hanging upside down from the dome!
This stone dragon is about four or five meters long and is painted red from head to tail. But what is surprising is that its head is not a dragon head, but a ferocious-looking human face?
The most eye-catching thing about this dragon is the pearl that is more than an inch in diameter in the mouth of this human face.
At this moment, this pearl is emitting a faint light that is not dazzling. This is the light source that Wu Liang has been looking for to illuminate the entire tomb.
Judging from the time of Liu Qu's death, this pearl has been placed here for at least hundreds of years and is still able to survive. It is definitely a rare treasure in the world.
"This dragon is so strange, it looks more like a snake."
Dian Wei carefully protected Wu Liang behind him and said with a vigilant expression.
After experiencing the "lost soul" just now, any unusual things in the tomb were hidden in his eyes, and he did not dare to neglect them again.
Wu Liangze said with a smile on his face: "The prototype of this stone dragon should be the 'Zhulong'. It is said in the "Shan Hai Jing": Zhu Jiuyin is called a candle dragon, with a human face and a snake body and a red body, with straight eyes.
Cheng. There is a dark and sunless country in the northwest of the sky, and there is a dragon holding a candle and shining on it."
"Look at this stone dragon. It has a human face and a snake body. It is red in color and holds an everlasting orb in its mouth. It exactly matches the record in the Classic of Mountains and Seas."
"It seems that King Liu Qu of Guangchuan really regards himself as an immortal king. He actually created a divine object like the 'Candle Dragon' for lighting. It is really arrogant."
While he was talking, Wu Liang's attention had already been focused on the everlasting orb in the mouth of "Zhulong".
In Wu Liang's impression, the only thing in historical records that has similar characteristics to this everlasting pearl is the treasure named after He's Bi - the Suihou Pearl!
In the idiom "Zhu Lian Bi He" commonly used in later generations, the bi refers to "He's Bi" and the pearl refers to "Suihou Zhu".
According to legend, this is an extremely miraculous orb. "The diameter of the bead is full, pure white, and it has light at night, like the light of the moon, it can light up a room." Translated, it means that it can illuminate the entire room at night as if it were daytime.
brightly lit.
However, in history, after Qin Shihuang destroyed the Chu State, he finally obtained the Suihou Pearl and the Heshi Bi at the same time.
The He's Bi was made into a national jade seal by the First Emperor of Qin. It lasted for 1,600 years and passed through the hands of more than 100 emperors, but the Suihou Pearl has completely disappeared since then.
Some people in later generations speculated that the Suihou Pearl might have been buried with Qin Shihuang and left in the tomb "in lieu of anointed candles."
But this is just speculation and has not been verified.
