Before Ying Zheng could figure out the problem, Li Si pulled him.
"Your Majesty, look quickly." Li Si said.
Ying Zheng looked in the direction of Li Si's finger. Not far away, there were rows of terracotta warriors standing in layers.
What surprised Ying Zheng was that the terracotta warriors in front of him were different from the previous two layers. Each terracotta warrior was colorful, lifelike and lifelike, just like a real person, like a phalanx of sergeants standing ready.
If I hadn't seen such formations of warriors on the first two floors before, I would have been frightened.
Ying Zheng stared blankly for a long time. If Li Si hadn't pulled him forward, he still wouldn't have come back to his senses.
Walking up to the colorful terracotta warriors, Ying Zheng looked at them carefully. The styles, expressions, and clothing of these terracotta warriors are no different from those he imitated. The only difference lies in the colors.
"Sir, is it those paints?" Ying Zheng asked.
Li Si nodded and said: "If the king can imitate the ordinary sword into the color of Xuanyuan Sword, then these warriors in front of him will not be surprising."
Ying Zheng suddenly realized that he imitated the Xuanyuan Sword for Princess Hu Yu, changed the paint to golden yellow, and painted it on. This idea was his own. If there was a way to make the paint golden yellow, then of course any color could be used.
Ying Zheng reached out and touched the terracotta warriors. The tentacles were smooth and did not feel cold. It was very similar to the feeling of touching the Jiuding.
"In this way, if these warriors and warriors can be preserved for hundreds or thousands of years, there will be no problem." Ying Zheng said.
"Exactly. If we estimate based on the age when King Wu of Zhou built the mausoleum, it would have been more than 800 years ago." Li Si said, "Your Majesty, let's move forward."
Ying Zheng nodded and followed Li Si through the formation of terracotta warriors.
After passing through the array of terracotta warriors, he did not see the five coffins similar to those on the first two floors. What appeared in front of him was a wooden building hall with no door. Li Si walked directly in.
There are various weapons of unknown ages placed in the hall. Although they look new, regardless of style or workmanship, in Ying Zheng's opinion, they can only be used for hunting.
But it's no wonder. Thinking about the time when these weapons were placed here, these weapons were undoubtedly the best at that time.
And these weapons have the same function as other gold and silver jewelry, they are used to deceive others.
Li Si walked in front of a long sword, walked forward in the direction pointed by the long sword, and came to a wooden table.
Only then did Ying Zheng realize that these weapons replaced the coffins and were placed here to guide the direction.
Using almost the same operation, Li Si found the keyhole of Xuantieluo.
The black iron snail seemed to be omnipotent and could open any lock. However, Ying Zheng did not have time to ask any more questions and quickly turned the black iron snail.
A wooden board on the wall loosened a little and sank a little, revealing a stone door.
This stone door seemed to require no key. Li Si turned a wrench-like thing on the side, and the stone door opened.
There was no light inside the stone door, so Li Si went inside and lit the oil lamp before letting Ying Zheng in.
There is also a secret room in the stone door. The space is larger than the first two floors, but the layout is similar, and there are more jewelry scattered around.
Ying Zheng had no intention of looking anywhere else, and stared directly at the stone platform in the middle.
I saw a larger bronze box, a scroll, and a cloth bag placed on the stone platform.
Without thinking, Ying Zheng walked to the bronze box and took out the black iron snail.
Ying Zheng wanted to move the bronze box closer before opening it, but he misjudged its weight and didn't push it with one hand.
"So heavy?" Ying Zheng said to himself.
Li Si didn't say anything. After setting the torch, he helped Ying Zheng move the bronze box closer.
Ying Zheng quickly opened the bronze lid, but when he saw what was inside, he was stunned.
Inside the bronze box, there is not the lower part of the "Book of Changes" that Ying Zheng has been thinking about day and night, but pieces of white metal sheets, neatly placed in three rows in the box. The surface of the metal sheets can be vaguely seen. Some weird graphics.
"What is this?" Ying Zheng looked at Li Si and asked with some disappointment.
"Your Majesty, this is not the second volume of the Book of Changes." Li Si pointed to the cloth bag next to him and said, "According to Master, he left you a letter here. Let's see what the letter says. Bar."
Ying Zheng then looked at the bag and reached out to take it.
There were two stacks of brocade silk in the bag. Ying Zheng opened the top one and saw that it was indeed a letter left by the old man in white.
Contents of the letter:
Qin Wang Zhengqi:
"Only when you come to the Tomb of King Wu on the third floor can you truly enter the Tomb of King Wu. And for you, the real test will officially begin. You must try your best to see everything and every corner here. Understand and become familiar with it. Faced with every task or problem that needs to be solved, you must spare no effort to solve it. But you can also rest assured that these problems that need to be solved are not too difficult, let alone life-threatening. But Most of it needs to be done by yourself.”
Seeing this, Ying Zheng raised his head and looked at Li Si.
Li Si smiled. Although he didn't see the content of the letter, it was not difficult to guess what Ying Zheng was thinking.
Ying Zheng was shocked by what he saw next. The letter read:
"The second volume of the "Book of Changes" that you have been thinking about day and night is not in this third-level mausoleum, or even in this mausoleum of King Wu."
Ying Zheng asked Li Si urgently: "Sir, this letter says that the second volume of the Book of Changes is not in the tomb of King Wu."
After speaking, Ying Zheng handed the brocade silk to Li Si and showed him this sentence.
Li Si glanced at Jinbo, raised his hands and said, "Your Majesty, don't be anxious. Let's talk about it after reading Master's letter. I will tell you the reason later."
Ying Zheng composed himself and continued to read the content of the letter.
"The Celestial Eye you saw in Qishan before was supposed to be guarded by the Dragon Clan. In order to let you see the Celestial Eye, I exchanged the second volume of the "Book of Changes" for the Celestial Eye. If you want to exchange the "Book of Changes" for the Celestial Eye, , you need to meet the guard in person, he is in Lishan, and the scroll next to it is the map to get there. This guard is not of my race, and you need to meet the conditions he proposed before he will transfer the "Book of Changes" to I’ll leave the next volume to you, and as for his preferences, Li Si will tell you.”
The first letter has not been signed yet.
"Sir, the Tianmu guard mentioned in the letter is in Lishan. Do you know who he is?" Ying Zheng asked.
"Lishan?" List paused and said, "Your Majesty should have heard of its name. It's called Yasu."
"Yaiju?" Ying Zheng's eyes widened, "Mystical beast?"
what's the situation?
Li Si smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, it should have been mentioned in the letter that the guard is not from my race, it is from the dragon race."
Ying Zheng imagined Yazui's appearance, but he still hadn't recovered yet.
"Your Majesty, you will have to deal with them a lot in the future, so let's take a look at what is written in the next letter." Li Si said.
Ying Zheng finally regained his mind, and while opening the second letter, he muttered in a low voice: "Is there really a mythical beast in the world?"
"Your Majesty, you are no longer an ordinary person. Don't be timid about things you don't know." Li Si reminded.
Ying Zheng composed his mind, opened the second letter, and then read it side by side with Li Si.
It reads:
"The silver piece inside this copper box is the inheritance of the Heavenly Heirs of the past generations. It is called "The Book of Mountains and Seas". It records what the Heavenly Heirs of the past generations learned about the land conditions, weather, and experiences along the way after they went to the Jiuyou Land. After you get back the "Book of Changes", translate it into Chinese characters, and then be sure to keep it in your heart. It will be of great use when you go to the Jiuyou Land in the future, so remember it."
"The Classic of Mountains and Seas"?
The letter is short but contains a lot of information.
After reading the letter, Ying Zheng turned to look at Li Si. He really had too many questions to ask, but he didn't know where to start.
Li Si put the letter away for Ying Zheng, and then said: "Your Majesty, take your things with you. Let's go back first. If we have anything to say, we can talk on the way. As for the tasks on this floor, there are two. One is to imitate colored paint, and then Make terracotta warriors with various colors; the other is to read and recite the Classic of Mountains and Seas."
Ying Zheng looked at the faint blue torch and nodded.
Li Si picked up the bronze box, and Ying Zheng put away the scrolls and letters. The two closed the door of the secret room and returned from the original route.
"Sir, this "Book of Mountains and Seas" must be very important." Ying Zheng asked as he walked.
"Of course." Li Si said solemnly, "This is the hard work of successive Heavenly Successors. It has been passed down from generation to generation and is regarded as a treasure."
Ying Zheng's heart trembled and he asked: "Could it be that there are many secrets hidden in this?"
Li Si shook his head and said: "It's not a secret. It is said that all the seniors saw and heard in Jiuyou. But the accumulation of these experiences is enough for the king to know when he goes to Jiuyou in the future. , used to save lives and not be in danger."
Ying Zheng looked shocked and said, "Could it be that... Jiuyou is really that dangerous?"
"The greatest danger lies in the unknown." Li Si said with a wry smile, "If you are in the Nine Netherworld, you may be poisoned to death if you just eat any fruit."
Ying Zheng couldn't help but shudder.
"It's getting late, Your Majesty, let's go back to the palace and talk about it later," Li Si said.
Ying Zheng nodded and said no more words.
The two people walked out of the gate of King Wu's Mausoleum and returned to the ground. It was already dark. Then they rode back to the palace. Along the way, Ying Zheng was thinking about what the old man in white said in the letter.
Back in the dormitory, Ying Zheng ate something briefly, and then pulled Li Si into the inner room of the study.
"Sir, please quickly tell me about the matter about Yaizhen." Ying Zheng said eagerly.
Li Si smiled and made a gesture of invitation.
Ying Zheng poured a glass of water for Li Si and handed it to Li Si, his eyes full of expectation.
Li Si cleared his throat and then said: "Master should have told the king that the Third Eye corresponds to the Nine Cauldrons, and there are nine in total."
Ying Zheng nodded.
"The Nine Tripods are made by our human race, but the Celestial Eye is protected by the Dragon Clan in order to maintain the Celestial Eye's energy. Each Celestial Eye is scattered in different places in the sky, and each Celestial Eye is protected by a Dragon Clan guard." Li Si said slowly and calmly. said.
"Nine dragon beasts?" Ying Zheng asked in shock, speaking at the opposite speed to Li Si.
Li Si nodded slightly and said: "If it is the Tianmu guard of Lishan, it should be Yaizhen. He ranks second among the nine dragon beasts."
It turns out that the nine dragon beasts are not fabricated by myths.
"But those are just legendary beasts. Even if they really exist, if we have to go find them, how will we communicate then." Ying Zheng said with a trembling voice.
Li Si knew that Ying Zheng was a little timid, so he comforted him: "Your Majesty, in fact, the dragons are not the ferocious beasts that people imagine. They are the wise masters of the egg tribe. They are even smarter than humans and know how to use energy better. Now they are also the supreme masters in Jiuyou Land, and we can also communicate directly with them, they understand our language."
Speaking of the Nine Netherlands, Ying Zheng cast his eyes on the bronze box he had just brought back, reached for the black iron snail, opened the lid, took out a silver piece, and looked at it carefully.
"Your Majesty, the master said in the letter that he is going to find Yajue in exchange for the last volume of the "Book of Changes". Although the master did not mention what conditions he needs to meet, Wei Chen wants to come and do what he likes. It's necessary." Li Si still said slowly.
"Follow it? So what does it like? We haven't seen it before." Ying Zheng said with a wry smile.
"I have seen it." Li Si said calmly, "I have seen it before, and so has the king."
"Ah?" Ying Zheng said in surprise, "Have you seen it before? Why can't I remember when I saw any dragon beast?"
Li Si smiled and said, "The King's Xuanyuan Sword is here, take it out and have a look."
Ying Zheng seemed to have some realization: "Is it possible?"
Li Si made a gesture of invitation.
Ying Zheng took out the Xuanyuan Sword from the secret compartment and placed it on the table.
Li Si pointed at the pattern of the alien beast on the Xuanyuan Sword and said, "Isn't this the dragon beast Yasu?"
"Is this Yaju?" Ying Zheng picked up the sword and looked carefully at the exotic beast totem on the hilt.
Looking at it, Ying Zheng did not reach out to touch the totem.
"Legend has it that when the Yellow Emperor finished building the Nine Cauldrons, he made some covenants with each of the guardian beasts. Because Yasui likes to fight, when he cast the Xuanyuan Sword, he cast the image of Yasui on the sword body to show his respect." Li Si said.
"Sir, what you mean is..." Ying Zheng said halfway, waiting for Li Si's answer.
"Didn't the King forge a Xuanyuan Sword for Princess Hu Yu? Then why not make another one." Li Si said with a smile.
Ying Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and gave Li Si a thumbs up.
Forging a golden sword for Yaizhen. It is unclear whether this gift can be exchanged for the last volume of the "Book of Changes", but at least there is a chance.
