Ying Zheng was stunned for a long time, and then asked in surprise: "This Zhou Wu King's Mausoleum actually has nine floors?"
Li Si nodded and said, "I heard from Master that there are indeed nine floors. King Wu's coffin is placed on the fifth floor in the middle."
"What's it like there?" Ying Zheng asked curiously.
"The common people have never been there, so we don't know." Li Si said, "The two of us have only been to the first two floors with Master."
While talking, the three people arrived on the flat ground below one after another.
The ground is so flat that it doesn't feel like you are in the middle of a mountain.
Another terracotta warrior appeared not far ahead, but if you could vaguely see the shadows behind them, you knew there were a lot of them here.
Sure enough, after getting closer, rows of warriors appeared in front of them, like an army array.
Jing Liang did not stop and continued walking forward from an aisle in the middle of the Terracotta Warriors.
Ying Zheng and Li Si followed.
Ying Zheng looked left and right, carefully observing the terracotta warriors, and his steps slowed down.
The terracotta warriors are made of pottery, but they are not damaged, which shows that the terracotta warriors are very strong.
The strange thing is that these warriors not only have different clothes and movements, but also have different looks and expressions.
On the whole, these terracotta warriors do look like an array in the army, but if you look closely, these terracotta warriors do not look like they are forming a formation to face the enemy.
While Ying Zheng was thinking, the three people had already passed through the array of warriors.
Several coffins appeared in front of them, all arranged side by side.
However, judging from the appearance of the coffin, it is not considered to be of high quality. It should be used for burials.
As for the people lying inside, they must be just some slaves.
Even if the tomb is stolen, I am afraid that the tomb robbers will return empty-handed. After all, this is only the first floor.
After walking around several coffins, the space became narrower and I saw the stone wall.
Jing Liang walked to the stone wall and looked back at the coffins.
Standing at the position corresponding to one of the coffins, Jing Liang turned around and touched a stone in the middle.
It looked like an ordinary stone, but Jing Liang rotated it for a week and then twisted it off.
A hole was exposed in the middle, which was very similar to the hole on the edge of the previous circular pit.
It turns out that those coffins serve this purpose, to point to the location of the mechanism.
Before Jing Liang could speak, Ying Zheng said, "Brother Jing, it's my turn again."
"Haha." Jing Liang smiled and said, "Then I have to trouble the king."
Ying Zheng gained experience this time and calmly took out the black iron snail and put it into the hole.
Click...
Five feet away to the left, a straight crack appeared on the mountain wall.
Jing Liang stepped forward, grabbed a stone, and pulled it outward. A stone door opened outward.
"This is the secret room on the first floor, Your Majesty." Li Si said beside Ying Zheng, "There is a secret room on each floor of the mausoleum."
Needless to say, there must be unusual treasures stored in the secret rooms on each floor.
Jing Liang walked into the secret room and lit the surrounding lights.
Ying Zheng and Li Si immediately entered the secret room.
Some jewelry of ordinary quality were piled on a stone platform, apparently to answer those tomb robbers, but they were not stolen, so it was obvious that no tomb robbers had ever visited here.
On the stone platform in the middle, a dark yellow sword stood upright on a wooden stand.
On both sides of the sword, there is a book with a green cover and an antique color.
Li Si stepped forward, picked up one of the books, and handed it to Ying Zheng.
"Your Majesty, this is the first volume of the Book of Changes. The main material is made of bronze. It cannot be opened unless it is a black iron snail."
"Last volume?" Ying Zheng asked.
Li Si nodded and said: "There are three parts of the Book of Changes, and the other two parts are stored in other mausoleum levels."
"Then take this first volume and go to other levels to find it all." Ying Zheng said.
"Your Majesty, you are not allowed to go to other levels just yet." Li Si said.
"Why?" Ying Zheng asked in confusion.
"Master told me that every time you enter the mausoleum, you can only enter one level. Only when the conditions are met can you enter the next level." Li Si said.
"What are the conditions?" Ying Zheng asked next.
"Didn't the king see the terracotta warriors here?" Li Si said, "The king needs to imitate these terracotta warriors and achieve a certain degree of similarity before he can enter the second level."
Ying Zheng looked depressed. He thought that the old man had given him a bunch of good things, but when he came to King Wu's Mausoleum this time, he just took back what he needed, without thinking that he still needed to fulfill the so-called requirements.
"No wonder there are a few terracotta warriors placed outside." Ying Zheng sighed and said, "Those are just for me to take back and imitate."
Li Si nodded and said, "Exactly."
Ying Zheng calmed down, took the first volume of the "Book of Changes" and read it.
This ancient book is packed in a box about two inches thick. It is quite heavy and slightly cold. It seems to be wrapped in a bronze shell, and there is a dent in the lower right corner of the back.
"Presumably this first volume was not originally stored here?" Ying Zheng asked.
Li Si looked at Ying Zheng and said happily: "The king has indeed guessed it."
The corners of Ying Zheng's mouth turned up and he said: "You came back last night and said that you went to see your seniors, and the whole day must not be as simple as just discussing some things. Now it seems that you came here in advance to do something Made some preparations.”
"What basis does the king have?" Li Si also asked with a smile.
"Not to mention that those soldiers and warriors just moved there not long ago." Ying Zheng said, "The "Book of Changes" alone is absolutely extraordinary. If the tomb has nine floors, how could it be placed in the easiest place to sneak into? layer?"
"Haha, it seems that the king's sensitivity has improved a lot than before." Li Si looked very pleased.
"After spending a long time with my husband, I naturally have to analyze everything." Ying Zheng said, "I only confirmed this after I took over this ancient book and saw that there was no dust on it. "
Li Si picked up another classic and said, "Your Majesty, this one is the "Agricultural and Food Classic" in the "Shen Nong Jing".
Ying Zheng took over the "Agricultural and Food Classic". He had two ancient books in his hands, and it was already a bit difficult to hold them.
From the appearance point of view, these two ancient books are almost the same, but the Agricultural Food Classic is a little lighter.
Ying Zheng placed the two ancient books on the stone platform and asked, "Sir, how can I open these two ancient books?"
Li Si turned one of them over, pointed to the dent on the back and said, "Put the black iron snail on it and click it."
Ying Zheng followed Li Si's instructions, took out the black iron snail, placed it on the indentation on the back of the ancient book box, and pressed it slightly.
Nothing has changed.
Ying Zheng was about to ask something when he heard Li Si say: "Your Majesty, turn it over again and open it."
Ying Zheng turned the ancient book over, face up, and took off the cover with his hands.
The upper cover opened easily, but just now, Ying Zheng exerted a lot of force and there was no response.
Ying Zheng saw the books inside at a glance.
Ying Zheng gently picked up the Book of Changes and looked at it carefully.
This is a bronze book, but judging by its weight, it is not made entirely of bronze. The cover is bronze and a little gray. I don’t know if it’s due to age or other reasons.
There is not a word on the cover, and there is no symbol like the one on the Jiuding. It is very flat.
Ying Zheng's heart was agitated, and he wanted to open the cover, but he still couldn't.
Without asking Li Si this time, Ying Zheng turned the ancient book over, and sure enough he saw that there was also a dent in the lower right corner of the back.
Just as Ying Zheng was about to place the black iron snail on the indentation, Li Si raised his hand and said hastily: "Your Majesty, no."
Ying Zheng looked at Li Si in confusion and asked, "Why?"
Li Si said: "This is something exclusive to the king. It is inconvenient for the two of us to open it since we are here."
Ying Zheng nodded, indicating that he knew, and turned the bronze book over again.
It seems that the rules are quite strict, and as the heir of the Heavenly Successor, he has some privileges.
Ying Zheng put the bronze book into the box, then picked up another ancient book.
In the same way, Ying Zheng opened the box.
This classic is one of the "Shen Nong Jing" - "Agricultural Food Jing"
There is still no word on the cover, but the color is much lighter, almost off-white.
The thickness is also a little thinner than the "Book of Changes" and the weight is a little lighter.
Ying Zheng could have opened this ancient book, because Li Si and Jing Liang could read this ancient book, and they might have even read it.
But Ying Zheng did not open it and put it back into the box.
After putting the two ancient books into the cloth bag, Ying Zheng pointed at the sword and asked, "Does this sword also need to be taken away?"
Jing Liang walked up to the sword, took it off respectfully, and handed it to Ying Zheng.
"Yes, Master will give this sword to the King." Jing Liang said.
Ying Zheng took the sword and then looked at it carefully.
Upon seeing this, Ying Zheng was immediately stunned.
The whole body of the sword is golden yellow, and there are many patterns engraved on the hilt and scabbard. It looks very noble and luxurious, and it is not as heavy as you think.
Before, Ying Zheng's attention was focused on two ancient books. In addition, the light was dim and the light was from blue flames. Looking at it coldly, the sword seemed to be the color of brass, so Ying Zheng did not Didn't care.
With a clang, the sword was unsheathed, shining with golden light and imposing.
"What kind of sword is this?" Ying Zheng looked at the golden sword intently.
"This sword is called Xuanyuan." Jing Liang also stared at the sword and said a little dullly.
"What...what?" Ying Zheng was shocked and thought he had heard wrongly.
"This is the legendary Xuanyuan Sword." Compared to Ying Zheng, Li Si was obviously much calmer.
"Xuanyuan Sword..." Ying Zheng said to himself, "According to legend, the Yellow Emperor's sword is the symbol of the emperor..."
"That's right." Li Si said, "Didn't the King know about the 'My Weapon'? Legend has it that after the Yellow Emperor found the 'My Weapon', the biggest gain was not to create extremely lethal weapons, but that the forging skills had improved by leaps and bounds. development, so Huangdi collected raw materials everywhere and finally created a peerless sword, which is the Xuanyuan Sword in front of him."
Ying Zheng nodded slightly, but his eyes still did not leave Xuanyuan Sword: "The legend that followed is known to everyone. Later, Dayu obtained this sword, unified China, and established Xia. Hundreds of years later, Tang obtained this sword again, Established business.”
"This is indeed the case, but there are a few points that people are wrong about." Li Si said, "The emperors received this sword as a gift, not by chance or robbery. And it is precisely because they are heavenly beings. Only the inheritor is qualified to obtain this sword and then unify China. It is not the power of this sword to unify China."
"Sir, are you saying that this sword is also a gift from heaven?" Ying Zheng finally looked away and looked at Li Si.
"Exactly." Li Si said, "This is the inheritance left by King Zhou Wu to the king. Only the savior emperor who changes dynasties is qualified to possess it."
It turns out that this is the true function of Xuanyuan Sword.
"It is said that after Shang Tang obtained the Xuanyuan Sword, the sword disappeared." Ying Zheng said, "Now it seems that Shang Tang left it to King Wu of Zhou, but King Wu of Zhou did not make any announcement."
Li Si nodded and said: "Your Majesty guessed it right, it is indeed the case."
"Then since King Wu of Zhou has never made it known." Ying Zheng paused and said, "I have no reason to spread the word."
After saying that, Ying Zheng looked at it again, then wrapped the Xuanyuan Sword in a cloth bag and carefully placed it in another cloth bag.
Ying Zheng felt that this Xuanyuan Sword was the biggest gain this time, and he couldn't help but feel relieved.
"Sir, what should we do with those warriors?" Ying Zheng asked after retracting his thoughts.
"It's best not to let soldiers from outside carry it." Li Si said, "Let it be left to Cao Min and Jing Liang to find a way to transport it back to the city."
Ying Zheng nodded and didn't ask any more questions, but he didn't know what he was thinking.
The torch was almost lit. After looking around to make sure nothing was missed, Ying Zheng walked out of the secret room.
Li Si and Jing Liang followed him out of the secret room and returned the same way.
