The layout and display on the second floor are almost exactly the same as those on the first floor. Ying Zheng couldn't help but ask: "Does each of the nine floors have the same layout?"
Li Si said: "They are not all the same, it should just be that the first two floors are very similar."
"What are the other floors like?" Ying Zheng asked.
"I don't know, but Master has never brought us two below the second floor." Li Si said, "I just heard from Master that the first and second floors are very similar to the eighth and ninth floors. "
Ying Zheng nodded and continued to follow Jing Liang forward.
Quickly passing through the array of terracotta warriors, the three of them came to several coffins.
"Your Majesty, this time, please open it yourself." Jing Liang said.
Ying Zheng nodded, knowing that Jing Liang had another sentence behind him: he would not open the door for Ying Zheng next time. But nothing was said.
Ying Zheng walked to the front of the coffin in the middle and pointed at it: "That's the one, right?"
Jing Liang nodded and signaled Ying Zheng to turn around and walk towards the mountain wall.
Ying Zheng followed Jing Liang's example before and walked straight to the front of the mountain wall in the direction pointed by the coffin.
When his fingers touched a stone in the middle, Ying Zheng suddenly felt nervous.
Jing Liang and Li Si just watched silently from behind without making any sound.
Ying Zheng calmed down and grabbed the slightly raised stone with all his strength.
With a slight twist, the stone was indeed turned, and then it detached from the mountain wall and was held in Ying Zheng's hand.
The stone broke away from the mountain wall, revealing a hole.
Ying Zheng took out the black iron snail again, unfolded it and put it into the hole.
With another gentle twist, Ying Zheng took back the black iron snail.
squeak...quack...
No need to ask, the mechanism of the secret room on the second floor is opened.
Ying Zheng walked towards the mountain wall at the same location as the secret room on the first floor.
Li Si and Jing Liang also walked over and stood beside Ying Zheng.
Ying Zheng found the location of a round stone, grabbed the round stone, and turned it around.
Snapped…
There was a crisp sound, a gap appeared on the mountain wall, and the stone door appeared.
Before Ying Zheng could push the stone door, Jing Liang stood in front of Ying Zheng.
"Your Majesty, please let me enter first," Jing Liang said.
Ying Zheng nodded slightly, and then gave up half of his body to Xiang.
Jing Liang pushed the stone door gently, then extended the torch into the secret room.
On the torch, the blue flame jumped as if it had seen something that made it very happy.
After a few breaths, the beating of the flames slowed down slightly, and Jing Liang raised the torch high and entered the secret room on the second floor.
Jing Liang walked around the secret room again, lighting the candlestick along the inner wall of the secret room, and the secret room suddenly became brighter.
Ying Zheng and Li Si followed into the secret room.
The layout of the secret room on the second floor is almost the same as that on the first floor, but the space feels slightly larger.
The stone platform in the middle is also slightly higher than the first floor, and there is an extra stepping stone below.
There are some jewelry, calligraphy and paintings scattered around, and the number is more than that on the first floor.
Ying Zheng saw the cyan box placed on the stone platform at a glance and walked over.
"Is this the middle volume of the Book of Changes?" Although he had already guessed it, Ying Zheng still asked curiously.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Li Si replied, "This is the middle volume of the Book of Changes."
Ying Zheng picked up the box, turned it over, took out the black iron snail and placed it on the indentation at the back of the box.
The box is opened.
Another bronze book appeared in Ying Zheng's sight, and it still had the same weight.
Ying Zheng caressed the middle volume of the "Book of Changes" and murmured to himself: "I wonder if adding this middle volume can solve the mystery of the tortoise shell."
One of the things that Ying Zheng has been thinking about is to solve the mystery of turtle bones and animal bones, so as to find ancient ruins and "my weapon".
Li Si smiled and said, "The king already has two of the three scriptures. It is expected that most of the contents can be deciphered. However, Wei Chen still suggested that the king not to act too hastily and wait until all can be deciphered before making a careful plan. "
This is Li Si. He will be fully prepared for anything before taking action.
Ying Zheng nodded, put the bronze book into the box, and closed the lid.
"Sir, what needs to be done on this level to enter the third level?" Ying Zheng asked.
Rather than waiting for others to arrange it, it's better to ask.
"It should be these two scrolls." Li Si pointed to the other side of the stone platform, and then walked there.
There were two dark yellow scrolls on the other side of the stone platform. Ying Zheng thought they were some calligraphy and paintings, and his attention was on the "Book of Changes", so he didn't pay attention.
Li Si picked up one of the scrolls and opened it to read.
Jing Liang also wandered around the place where jewelry and utensils were piled up, as if he was looking for something.
"Your Majesty, what is recorded here is indeed the method of making that special paint." After speaking, Li Sijiao handed the scroll in his hand to Ying Zheng.
Ying Zheng took the scroll and opened it, with an embarrassed look on his face.
Still can't understand.
Like the "Nong Liang Jing", the text in the scroll is still in Chinese script, with only a few characters similar to Qin script, and Ying Zheng has not yet memorized all the Chinese script.
Ying Zheng shook his head with a wry smile and said: "It seems that we still need to use the Chinese character library. It seems that I need to use the Chinese character library to memorize Chinese characters and even the characters of various countries."
After saying that, Ying Zheng seemed to have realized something. He looked at Li Si and said, "Sir, you actually understood the contents of the scroll at a glance. Do you already know the languages of various countries?"
Li Si smiled and said: "Wei Chen was just helping the king sort out the Chinese character library. He paid special attention to Zhou Wen and found that Zhou Wen was very similar to ancient Chinese characters, so he memorized some of them."
"That's too fast." Ying Zheng asked doubtfully, "I compiled the Chinese font library with you, but I didn't remember a few of it."
"Found it!" Before Li Si could answer, Jing Liang's voice came from the other side of the secret room.
Whether it was because he was really excited about finding something or because he was trying to divert the topic between Ying Zheng and Li Si, Jing Liang's voice seemed particularly loud.
I saw Jing Liang moving a wooden barrel from the corner. Judging from the weight, it should be full of things.
Jing Liang picked up the barrel, walked to Ying Zheng, and placed the barrel on the ground.
"Your Majesty, what is contained here should be a sample of that kind of paint." Jing Liang pointed to a mark with his finger and said, "Master put it here to facilitate the King's imitation."
Ying Zheng nodded lightly, seemingly not interested in the paint.
Li Si stepped forward to check it out and said to Ying Zheng: "Your Majesty, don't underestimate such paint. If the King wants to spread something to future generations, these paints will play a decisive role. If there is no such thing , Jiuding is probably already rotten."
When Li Si said this, Ying Zheng realized the importance of this kind of paint and couldn't help but feel nervous.
Ying Zheng smiled awkwardly and said, "Everything in King Wu's Mausoleum must be a treasure, and I will not despise anything."
Li Si returned to the stone platform, picked up another scroll, and opened it to read.
"Your Majesty, this is the design of a weapon." After speaking, Li Si handed the scroll to Ying Zheng.
"What kind of weapon is it?" Upon hearing that it was a weapon, Ying Zheng's eyes suddenly flashed with light.
"Flying crossbow." Li Si said.
"Flying crossbow?" Ying Zheng thought it was some kind of weapon.
"Yes, flying crossbow." Li Si said, "According to Master, this kind of crossbow can accurately shoot enemies hundreds of feet away."
"In that case, the range of this crossbow arrow is almost the same as that of a bow and arrow." Ying Zheng said.
"If you use a bow and arrow, the requirements for archery skills are very high, and you need to practice frequently to improve accuracy." Li Si said, "The flying crossbow does not require such high archery skills, and it does not require a high level of arm strength and endurance. requirements, and easy to carry.”
"So, this flying crossbow is better than a bow and arrow!" Ying Zheng became excited.
Jing Liang smiled and said: "If the king competes with Princess Hu Yu again, I believe that if the king uses a flying crossbow, he can compete with her."
Ying Zheng said with some embarrassment: "Brother Jing, are you kidding? Where are the equipment for making flying crossbows?"
"It's right next to the barrel where the paint is placed." Jing Liang said and walked towards that corner again.
Ying Zheng and Li Si followed together.
Passing around the scattered jewelry, I saw two loom-like instruments placed in the corner, but they were much smaller than the loom and looked very delicate.
Next to the equipment, there are two crossbows, which should be flying crossbows.
"What the senior asked me to imitate was not the flying crossbow, but the equipment used to make the flying crossbow, right?" Ying Zheng asked.
"Haha." Li Si smiled, "Sure enough, I can't hide anything from the king."
Ying Zheng stepped forward, picked up a flying crossbow, and started playing with it. I saw that this flying crossbow was indeed exquisite. Although I couldn't tell the age, I expected it to be very old. But when I looked at it, it looked like a new one. The workmanship was also finer than a normal flying crossbow, and there were a few more small parts.
"I guess the senior wanted me to save some energy when seizing the kingship and bringing peace to the world, so I asked me to make more superior weapons." Ying Zheng said with a grateful tone.
Li Si nodded and said, "Master has good intentions towards the King."
"Is there anything else that needs to be imitated on this level?" Ying Zheng asked.
"Go back to the king, there is no more." Li Si said.
"How to bring it back?" Ying Zheng asked again.
Li Si said, "It's up to Wei Chen to find a solution."
"Okay." Ying Zheng said, "Then go back and seize the time to copy them, so that you can get the "Book of Changes" together as soon as possible. And I also want to test the power of this flying crossbow as soon as possible."
Speaking of testing the flying crossbow, Ying Zheng unconsciously thought of Princess Hu Yu.
Ying Zheng walked to the stone platform and put away the middle volume and two scrolls of the "Book of Changes".
Li Si and Jing Liang extinguished the candlesticks in the secret room, lit two new torches, and escorted Ying Zheng back.
The three horses entered the official road. Jing Liang raised his hands to Ying Zheng and said, "Your Majesty, Jing Liang is going to the battlefield."
"Brother Jing, are you leaving now?" Ying Zheng asked anxiously.
Jing Liang nodded, his eyes extremely determined.
"Then...Brother Jing hasn't told me yet what name you want to change to." Ying Zheng said.
Only by knowing Jing Liang's future name can we inquire about his whereabouts.
"I want to change my name to Jing Ke." Jing Liang said solemnly, "From now on, there will be no Jing Liang in the world."
"Jing...Ke..." Ying Zheng muttered in a low voice.
"Your Majesty, take care!" After saying that, Jing Liang galloped away on his horse and never looked back.
"Brother Jing, take care!" Ying Zheng calmed down and shouted urgently.
Looking at Jing Liang's retreating figure, Ying Zheng felt even more sad. He would never have thought that meeting Jing Liang again would be in a way he never expected.
