It was only at this moment that Ying Zheng suddenly realized that he actually lacked a lot of homework.
I remember that before Ji Fa's identity was revealed, the first important task given to him was to explore King Wu's Tomb.
Moreover, he needs to complete the tasks on each level before he can enter the next level.
As for himself, because of the strong support of the Jing family class, whether it was imitating terracotta warriors and horses, making flying crossbows, imitating Yangu lacquer, or researching dense stones, he became a big shopkeeper.
Even the royal mausoleum that is currently under construction is still stationed there by Jing Fan and Thumb.
I recall that in those days, Shen Nong led the woodcutter to cut down trees and build bridges, and Huang Di followed the army to forge weapons. They all did it personally and set an example.
As for Ying Zheng, who ascended the throne as King of Qin at the age of thirteen, he seemed to be pampering most of the time. Everything was arranged in advance, and he was fully assisted in everything. He didn't know how to cook, and he didn't have to wash his own clothes.
Oh no, it’s not like I can’t do it all. At least I can grill fish now.
Habits developed over a long period of time will definitely affect a person's mood and pattern in a subtle way.
Thinking this, Ying Zheng couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.
In fact, what he gained the most from his trip to Jiuyou this time was not the strange scenery he enjoyed, the sight of magical birds he had never seen before, and the acquisition of a few rare treasures.
What he really gained was the confidence to go to Jiuyou alone, the courage to face danger calmly, the courage to save others from danger, and the responsibility to shoulder his own responsibilities!
He had not deliberately paid attention to these gains, but they urged him to grow as quickly as possible and become a great emperor who could truly shoulder the heavy responsibilities of history.
In fact, Ji Fa saw all this and felt happy in his heart.
Unknowingly, the two of them arrived at the gate of King Wu's Mausoleum. Ying Zheng took the black iron snail and opened the door, then went straight to the inner mausoleum.
In order to transport the original grain seeds on the bottom four floors, Ji Fa had turned off all the mechanisms. The green poisonous gas, strange door locks, closed secret doors, etc. were basically stopped.
The two of them filed in and went directly to Tai Chi Gate.
The Taigong's secret room mentioned by Ji Fa is located behind the Taiji Gate.
This time, instead of Ying Zheng dripping blood, Ji Fa cut his finger and pressed the bloody fingerprint on the mechanism. The secret door made a sound and was divided into upper and lower parts, which were stored in the stone walls on both sides.
"I haven't been to this secret room for a while." After saying that, Ji Fa walked into the secret door and lit the lights around him.
The still blue firelight emerged, illuminating the entire secret room.
The design of this secret room is very unique. It is an octagonal structure. It looks like the shape of the Bagua Diagram. In the middle, there is also a Tai Chi Diagram pattern.
Ji Fa first walked around the Tai Chi diagram, then walked to the white dot representing Shaoyang, stamped hard on the white dot representing Shaoyang, and then stepped on the black dot representing Shaoyang next to it. point, rotated by a semicircular angle.
Immediately, there were two small clicks and clicks of the mechanism opening, and a hidden compartment about the height of a person appeared in the position of the door.
"The valuable things Grandpa left behind are inside." Ji Fa said, "I will drag the box out and take all these things away today."
After that, he dragged out a bronze box from the secret room. Although it was not small in size, it did not look heavy.
Without Ji Fa's instructions, Ying Zheng knew that it was time for the black iron snail to appear, so he took out his own black iron snail and opened the bronze box.
Although it was too old, there was no rancid smell in the box, as if it had just been locked up yesterday.
What caught the eye directly was a square golden brocade bag, which looked not old at all.
"You should be familiar with this thing." Ji Fa said.
If something is not unfamiliar, it must have been seen before.
Ying Zheng picked up the brocade bag curiously and felt there was a hard object inside. When he opened it, he saw that it was a black Taigong Zuling!
Before, he asked for one from Ji Fa and gave it to Lu Wu. There was another one at Li Si's place, but now another one appeared.
"Master, are these Tai Gong Zu Lings made in batches?" Ying Zheng asked curiously, "There must be other stocks elsewhere."
Ji Fa said angrily: "Do you think it's a sword that needs to be wielded by someone? At that time, Taigong cast a total of five Taigong Ancestral Orders and gave them to me. The first two have been used long ago, and the remaining Among the three, including the one from Li Si and the one I gave you before, this one is already the last one."
Ying Zheng naturally knew where to go with the first two, and they played a really big role.
The first one was given by Ji Fa's envoy to Qi Kanggong, the king of Qi at that time, and ordered him to give up his country, and then let the Lu family hide in order to accept new tasks, which triggered a relatively famous event in history - " The Tian family replaced Qi."
For the second time, another messenger, Jing Liang, ordered Lu Buwei to marry the descendant of Ji to the winner, so Ying Zheng was born, and Lu Buwei helped Ying Zheng ascend the throne along the way.
"It's time for the last remaining one to come into play." Ji Fa sighed, "Didn't you draw up a thousand-year plan? Then give this to Lu Wen and let him pass it on to Lu Pheasant. Take control of the Liu family."
In the entire thousand-year plan, the Lu family also played an important role.
Ying Zheng's idea is to let Liu Bang take over the future, but the condition is that the future dynasty needs to imitate the Zhou Dynasty, and also "prospered by the Jiang surname and died by the Lu family."
So a while ago, he went to Lu Buwei specifically and planned to let Lu Wen marry his young daughter Lu Pheasant to Liu Bang in order to control the Liu family behind the scenes.
Then including Li Si's ancestral order, there are still two that Ying Zheng can use. One of them should naturally be given to Lu Wen.
As for Lu Wu, he already has one, so it would be appropriate for him to help Lu Pheasant behind his back. After all, Lu Wen is Liu Bang's future father-in-law, so some things are not very convenient for him to do.
Of course, the last ancestral order was reserved for use when Liu Bang's dynasty fell.
(Later, the Han Dynasty fell into danger. After the layout of Sima Hui and Lu Boshe, the Han Dynasty was nominally destroyed in the hands of Lu Bu, and was unified again by the Sima family. This is a story later.)
Ying Zheng wiped the token carefully, then put it back into the brocade bag and put it into the package he carried with him.
Ji Fa leaned down and opened the second layer of the bronze box, only to see two classics lying quietly inside. It seemed that they were also made of copper foil. The style was simple and elegant, and there was no dust on them.
Ji Fa picked up one of them with great care, wiped it with his sleeves, and said: "Seeing this classic, it is like seeing the years of standing side by side with the Grand Duke, but they have passed by quietly without knowing it." More than eight hundred years.”
The old man, who has always had a fairy-like manner, gives the impression that he has understood life and death, and looks down on wealth. He rarely shows a trace of unconcealed sadness on his face, as if he is reminiscing about the long past, and he seems to be savoring life again.
In his life, he has lived several generations of an ordinary person, or even more than a dozen lifetimes. He has already experienced all kinds of life, joy, anger and sorrow, but he has never sought anything for himself. Now when he sees the Taigong's relics, he seems to have seen The destiny of the Tiancheng lineage, and a life destined to twists and turns.

And how could it be that Ying Zheng himself had this fate?
Although he does not have a long life experience, Ying Zheng has experienced a lot in the past few years, and what he is about to face is the biggest challenge in the history of the Tiancheng lineage!
It is said that the ancestors planted trees, and the descendants enjoy the shade.
Ying Zheng originally thought that he was like this. His predecessors had paved the road, so he just had to walk.
But this time when he returned from Jiuyou, he realized that his success or failure would determine the future of the entire human race and the fate of all Jiuyou creatures! If he didn't finish this well, all the thousands or even tens of thousands of years of efforts by his predecessors would be in vain.
"Master, what kind of book is this that makes you so sad?" Ying Zheng broke the peace in the secret room.
Ji Fa came back to his senses and said leisurely: "This classic, called "Tai Gong's Art of War", is the legacy of an ancient ruins that Tai Gong found when he was young."
"Isn't that the same as the "Compendium of Materia Medica" and the "Huangdi Medical Classic"?"
"That's right." Ji Fa nodded, "It's taken from the oracle bone inscriptions."
Ying Zheng then asked: "I heard that you and Taigong defeated Zhou together, and you must have relied on this book, right?"
"Of course, with such a good thing, how can we not use it?"
Ying Zheng smiled and said: "Master, I have always heard you talk about the legends of Pangu, Taikoo, and ancient times, but I know very little about your own story. I wonder if you can tell it to me."
I want to hear a story again.
But this time Ying Zheng really didn't have the mentality of listening to stories like before, but he really wanted to collect more information.
Ji Fa stood up, beat his back, and said: "You don't want me to squat here and tell you, do you? Quickly get the "Dragon Searching Code", and then we will worship the grandpa and find another one. A place to sit down and talk in detail.”
"Well, okay!" Ying Zheng said, "But... where is the "Dragon Searching Code"?"
Ji Fa pointed at the bronze box and said: "Of course it's in the bottom compartment. I saw the grandpa put it in with his own hands, but this layer has never been opened."
Ying Zheng imitated what he had just done and opened the grid on the second floor. Sure enough, there were two more secret books inside. The three words "Xunlong Dian" were written in oracle bone script on the cover, which was divided into two volumes: upper and lower.
Ying Zheng also picked up two classics, wiped them with the corner of his clothes, and asked at the same time: "Master, have you really never read this classic? Are you not curious at all?"
"What I'm saying is that I haven't read this classic very often." Ji Fa said, "It's not that I haven't read it, I've read the manuscript."
Ying Zheng: "..."
Just saying, how could Ji Fa not read such an important thing?
"At that time, I didn't know Oracle Bone Inscriptions, so Taigong personally translated many classics for me, including this one of course." Ji Fa said, "Later he said that if you want to visit the mythical beasts and birds, you will naturally have Zhu Jiuyou to accompany you. It is there, so this classic is of little use and has basically been sealed up in dust.”
Tiancheng's lineage feels that it is of little use, but the Dragon Clan doesn't think so. They still have to guard against you.
Ying Zheng put away several classics and touched the bottom of the box to make sure there were no hidden compartments before he stood up.
After walking out of the secret room, Ying Zheng closed the door, and the two of them went straight to the Taigong's coffin and began to worship.
He lit the incense, kowtowed a few times, and recited respectfully: "The ancestors of the Grand Duke are here, and the descendants of Ying Zheng come to pay homage. I hope that the ancestors of the Grand Duke will bless China, help the younger generation to achieve success, and completely heal the dragon veins to protect the country." Peace for eternity."
Ji Fa also bowed: "Master, I will take away all the things you left behind. In a few years, the Lishan King's Tomb will be repaired and the place will be vacated. After sealing the tomb, I will never see it again." I can’t come in, but don’t worry, I’ll go down to accompany you soon, so you can wait for me for a few more years.”
This is a bit heartbreaking to say, but it is indeed true.
After worshiping, Ji Fa sighed softly and took Ying Zheng to sit on the ninth step in the distance.
"Don't you want to hear a story? This time I will tell you the story of my grandfather and me."
Ying Zheng sat sideways beside him, took out a water bag and handed it to Ji Fa.
Ji Fa took a sip of water and said, "Actually... I was not the successor chosen by the Grand Duke at that time."
Ying Zheng's brows moved and he was really surprised.
