The scorching sun displays its unique ability and bakes the anxious earth.
The hot wind is mixed with warm water vapor, which continues to rise upward.
The moss covers the blue waves regardless of their feelings, making them no longer clear.
The young grass also ignores the wishes of the soil and pierces its roots deep into it.
Ying Zheng, together with Ji Fa, Wu Chan and Hu Yu, Fu Su and Hu Hai, leisurely drove several carriages, guarded by the Forbidden Army, while appreciating the scenery along the way, they headed towards Lishan Mountain.
"Husband, what stage is the royal tomb you are building now?" Wu Chan asked.
"Halfway through the construction period," Ying Zheng said, "But I don't know what will happen to me while I'm away."
"Oh, then, is the royal tomb I built in Jingjue much different from yours?" Wu Chan asked again.
Ying Zheng smiled and said: "The royal tomb you built is much smaller than the royal tombs of the Tiancheng lineage, and the interior is also quite streamlined. When I have time, I will take you to the tomb of King Wu of Zhou. That It’s ready-made and seems more intuitive.”
"Okay." Wu Chan continued to ask, "Can you find the seeds of ice Gu in the place where you built the royal tomb?"
Ying Zheng laughed and said, "It would be easier if there was a bug there. We have to walk a long way and endure a certain amount of suffering to get to that place."
The suffering he was referring to was naturally found in Zhu Jiuyou's belly, and the feeling was indeed unpleasant.
Wu Chan could never have imagined suffering in this way, and said resolutely: "It doesn't matter, as long as I can bring back some seed insects, I can persevere no matter how severe the hardship is."
Ying Zheng said with some distress: "How about I go alone and make sure I bring the seed insects back."
"No." Wu Chan insisted, "I will go with you. I want to see with my own eyes the source of that insect."
"Are you really not afraid of those mythical beasts and birds?" Ying Zheng said.
After paying homage to Ji Fa last night, when he returned to the palace, he told Wu Chan about the nine guardian beasts guarding the Celestial Eye and the Tiancheng lineage to restore the natural source of power.
"You are not afraid, so what am I afraid of?" Wu Chan said, "Didn't you say that once I enter the Tiancheng lineage, they will not eat me? Then there is nothing to be afraid of."
"Okay." Ying Zheng said a little helplessly, "I'll meet you later, please don't wet your pants."
Wu Chan stuck out his tongue at him and made a face.
While chatting, the team has arrived at Lishan Mountain.
The Jing family class is still busy under the leadership of Jing Fan, and the Ou family is also finishing the forging of the alloy structure.
Seeing King Qin and Ji Fa arriving, Jing Fan and Ou Ping hurried over to see them.
"How is the progress of the royal tomb recently?" Ying Zheng said, "Princess Wuchan wants to observe and observe, let's take a look together."
Jing Fan replied: "The interior of the bottom two floors has been completed, and the core chambers on the sixth and seventh floors are currently being constructed."
"The progress is good, please lead the way."
Under the guidance of Jing Fan, everyone entered the royal tomb along the outer corridor.
"This, this royal tomb is so big?" Wu Chan said in surprise, "It's much bigger than the ancestral tomb you asked me to build."
Ying Zheng smiled and said, "If nothing else, the construction period here will be much longer than yours."
Wu Chan said with a bad smile: "Tell the truth, do you plan to marry another beauty worth three thousand five thousand, or how to fill this royal tomb."
Ying Zheng: "..."
Jing Fan and Ou Ping in front naturally heard it and couldn't help but snicker.
Hu Hai on the side took it seriously. He grabbed Hu Yu's clothes and said, "Mom, will there be many aunts living in our palace in the future?"
Hu Yu explained with a slight embarrassment: "Your Aunt Wuchan is joking with your father. It won't be three thousand or five thousand, but at most it will be thirty or fifty more."
Ying Zheng had a dark look on his face and secretly complained in his heart, this royal tomb is not what I want to build.
So he turned to look at Ji Fa.
Ji Fa just coughed twice and pretended not to hear anything.
No wonder Wu Chan was surprised. After twists and turns, they arrived at the second floor. There were seven floors below, and each floor was wider than the previous.
After going down a few more floors, everyone came to the fifth floor, which was also the core floor.
Ying Zheng asked Jing Fan to take Ji Fa down first, while he pulled Wu Chan and Hu Yu aside, and whispered: "Don't talk nonsense here, this mausoleum is not prepared for us."
"Isn't it prepared for us?" Wu Chan blinked and said, "Who was it built for?"
Ying Zheng secretly tapped the front with his finger: "It was built for Master. When he waits a hundred years from now, he will place it here."
"real?"
Ying Zheng said seriously: "How can I lie to you? This is the tradition of Tiancheng."
Wu Chan stuck out his tongue, and then realized that what he just said was a bit rash.
Ying Zheng waved his hand: "Let's go, follow us and see how the bottom two floors are built."
The three people immediately followed and reached the bottom level.
According to convention, the sixth, seventh, eighth and ninth floors below the fifth floor are all used to stack original grain seeds, so the layout is not divided into so many small secret rooms, nor are they as decorated as the fifth floor. Luxurious.
Looking at the bottom floor that had been formed, Ying Zheng couldn't help but ask Xiang Ji Fa: "Master, after this place is completed, will the original grain seeds still need to be placed on the four floors below?"
Ji Fa thought for a while and then said: "It's better to fill it up. Although after you complete the final task, the original grain seeds will lose their most essential role, but it is expected that thousands of years later, the food cultivated by the people may be Degradation, if we save more, we can also provide some backup options for future generations.”
Hu Yu asked in surprise: "Master, if those original grain seeds are stored for thousands of years, can they still be used?"
Ying Zheng laughed and said, "Your surprised expression is exactly the same as when I first learned about this."
Ji Fa smiled and explained: "The reason why the food we eat becomes rotten and moldy is because the air contains countless toxins. These toxins surround us all the time, constantly eroding all living things. If something is a living thing that can breathe, it will rot when its life is over, and food that does not have immunity will rot in a very short period of time."
The two ladies, as well as the two young men, all seemed to understand but felt that it made sense.
"The mechanism in this royal tomb can release a poisonous gas." Ji Fa continued to explain, "This poisonous gas can kill any living creature, and the antidote to this poisonous gas can purify all bacterial toxins. In this way , the air inside is clean, and the food stored can naturally be preserved for a long time."
Ying Zheng agreed: "That's exactly what it is, and there is also a mechanism that can extract all the air out of it. This can not only prevent the grain from rotting, but also prevent people from robbing the tomb in the future."
Hu Yu opened his mouth and said to himself in surprise: "This is really magical..."
Wu Chan said: "Why are there no such mechanisms in the drawing you gave me?"
"This mechanism is really complicated. No one can understand it except Master." Ying Zheng explained, "Besides, you don't store food, so why do you need so many mechanisms?"
Ji Fa said from the side: "You have also seen this royal tomb. Let's go up now. The humidity here is heavy, which is not good for you women."
On the way back to the ground, Jing Fan explained to Ying Zheng in detail the time required to complete each floor and the amount of money required during the period.
The construction of the royal tomb has consumed a lot of money.
Ying Zheng didn't care either. This was nothing to Qin Ting, who had strong financial resources.
Back on the ground, Ying Zheng ordered Ou Ping to fetch four swords.
After making the Chixiao Sword, the Ou family used some alloy materials to make some swords and kept them for King Qin as a spare.
Ying Zheng handed the four swords into the hands of the two ladies and the two gentlemen respectively.
Needless to say, Hu Yu has been riding horses, hunting, wielding swords and guns since he was a child. He even asked Ying Zheng to ask for a replica Xuanyuan Sword before.
Wu Chan also grew up on horseback since he was a child, so of course he also knew that this sword was a good thing.
The two gentlemen loved it so much that they couldn't put it down and laughed non-stop.
Ying Zheng let the children rest in the camp, under Zhao Gao's care, and then he and Ji Fa, Hu Yu and Wu Chan, headed for the forbidden area.
The master and apprentice were already familiar with the road, but the two women had to follow them into the cave and move forward carefully.
"There are no outsiders here. Don't be afraid if you see Yazui soon." Ying Zheng warned, "It looks fierce on the outside, but it is very kind in its heart."
"Oh, I get it, you've been saying it many times this morning." Wu Chan said with a wry smile.
"Aren't I afraid that you might faint due to lack of preparation?" Ying Zheng said.
Hu Yu chuckled: "I'm not scared, on the contrary, I'm a little excited. I've been wondering what the Xi beast looks like earlier, and now I can actually meet its owner."
"Shhh..." Ying Zheng made a silent gesture, "It can basically hear whatever you say now."
Hu Yu quickly covered her mouth tightly, looking like a child of several years old who was afraid that others would take away the candy in her mouth.
After passing through the cave, crossing the corridor, and following the stream to Yaizhen's residence, Ying Zheng shouted: "Senior, I brought two new members of the Tiancheng lineage and came to pay you a special visit."
There was only a sound in the cave, and along with the sound of slight footsteps, a pair of blood-red eyes suddenly appeared at the dark entrance of the cave.
Wu Chan and Hu Yu suddenly felt nervous. If they hadn't been prepared in advance, they might have been so frightened that their legs were so weak that they couldn't move.
Just listen to Yaizhen say slowly: "Obviously it's your two ladies, but they think I don't know."
Ying Zheng smiled and said: "It is true that they are my two wives, but one of them is a descendant of Nuwa named Ying, and the other is the Queen of Jingjue Kingdom who has been helping the Tiancheng lineage to build the mausoleum."
Ying Zheng looked at the two of them, and the two ladies came back to their senses and said politely: "New disciples of Tiancheng lineage, pay my respects to seniors."
Probably because he didn't have much contact with women, Yaizhen's demeanor was much warmer than before, and his voice was quite soft.
"Female disciples from the Tiancheng lineage are really rare."
Ji Fa smiled and said: "There have always been female disciples in the past, but their duty is not to repair the dragon veins, but to pass on the family line."
Yaizhen said, "Then why did you bring them here to see me this time?"
"Just because the construction of the Great Wall has begun, the Jingjue Ghost Cave Clan's Ice Gu is not enough. I want to take Wu Chan to Jiuyou and ask Senior Ice Phoenix to give me some more Ice Gu seeds."
"Haha." Yaizhen said with a smile, "You are not here to see me, you want me to call Zhu Jiuyou."
Ying Zheng hurriedly explained: "Of course I have something to do with my seniors. As you know, I lost a princess a while ago. She left a son, and now I have accepted him into the Tiancheng lineage. I see that he is depressed all day long, So I took him out for a walk and wanted him to meet the little Nian beast."
"You want to see Nian Beast?" Yazhen asked, "If that's the case, why don't you bring any children with you?"
Ying Zheng said: "I'm afraid you won't allow it, so I'll ask first."
Yaizhen said angrily: "You can even see me, how can you not see Nian Beast?"
Immediately, I heard a growl from its throat and a creaking sound from its chest.
After a while, a small head with a not too big horn poked out of the hole.
"Woo...Woo..."
As if it was very kind to Ying Zheng, the little Nian beast spread out its limbs and hooves and rushed towards Ying Zheng.
"Oh, why are you so heavy now!"
