"What the king said is a great gift for the Sima family, but such a major matter still needs to be discussed with the father in person." Sima Jie said with some embarrassment.

It turned out that Sima Jie's face was sad because of this, Ying Zheng thought that Sima Jie was unwilling in his heart.

Ying Zheng then asked, "Where is your father now?" ”

"My father went with the Meng family to bury General Meng, I originally wanted to go, but Wen Lianju couldn't get rid of it, so I didn't go." Sima Jie said with some regret.

On the day he returned to the city, Ying Zheng saw Sima Hong and Sima Jie in Mengfu, but he didn't have time to talk to them. It is expected that Sima Hong may have been in Mengfu for the past few days and has not left.

"Then let them come back and discuss the matter with the Mon family." Ying Zheng said.

Sima Jie nodded and said, "When my father comes back, my subordinates will definitely inform my father." ”

"It's not too early, and the widow will go back to the palace." Ying Zheng said, "Tomorrow, Zhao Gao will send the money over." ”

"The minister sent the king out." Sima Jie said.

Ying Zheng got up and walked out the door.

It was already dark, and Sima Jie sent it all the way to the gate before he bowed his hand and whispered, "The king walks slowly." ”

Ying Zheng nodded and got into the car.

Back in the dormitory, Ying Zheng rested for a while, and Li Si came to the study.

"Where has the gentleman been today? The widow searched everywhere, but there was no trace of him. Ying Zheng asked.

Li Si walked up to Ying Zheng and whispered, "The grass people went to see their teacher today. ”

Ying Zheng was taken aback and asked, "The predecessor is in Xianyang?" ”

Li Si nodded and said, "Shizun knows that the king is about to go to the tomb of King Wu of Zhou, so he has come to tell the grass people to pay attention to some organs to protect the king Zhou Zhouquan." ”

"That's the case, no wonder Jing Liang doesn't live in Wenluo." Ying Zheng said.

Then, Ying Zheng will go to Wenluoju to find Li Si, and then want to use the scholars to write books and borrow the good land of the Sima family to tell Li Si.

After hearing this, Li Si said, "The king's arrangement is very reasonable. It's just that the participants in this book should be screened again. ”

Ying Zheng nodded yes, and then the two set the time and details of going to the tomb of King Wu of Zhou.

Early in the morning of the second day, Ying Zheng changed into clothes that were easy to move, and he had the demeanor of a chivalrous man.

Zhao Gao went to Wen Liju, and the second and third guards escorted Ying Zheng and Li Si to the North City Gate.

Jing Liang was waiting at the gate of the city, and when he saw Yingzheng, he gave a salute.

After the convergence, several people urged the horses to run north of the city.

After walking a long way, a small path appeared on the right, and several people turned onto the path.

After walking for about a quarter of an hour, several men turned into the col ahead.

A short time later, an army camp appeared ahead. A group of soldiers was lining up on either side of the intersection.

The second watch dismounted, talked to the sergeant major in charge, and then showed the token.

The sergeant major motioned for the sergeant to get out of the way.

Several men urged the horses through the pass and continued on their way.

After walking a short distance, a stone tablet came into view, with the words "Mausoleum of King Wu of Zhou" written on it.

Bypassing the stone monument, there was a steep slope, and everyone dismounted and led the horses forward.

Ahead is a small camp.

The second one showed the token and handed the horse to the sergeant who guarded it.

Several sergeants took the horses of Yingzheng and then moved out of the way.

The second watch walked to Ying Zheng's side and arched his hand and said, "My lord, the stone gate in front is the entrance, and now it has been opened, and the adults can go in and observe." ”

Ying Zheng nodded, and walked into the stone gate with Li Si and Jing Liang.

The second and third watches stayed outside the stone gate and did not follow in.

Ying Zheng didn't want to reveal his identity, in that case, it would be too public, and it would not be good for the protection of King Wu's tomb.

The three of them entered the stone gate, and the light dimmed instantly.

The three of them lit the prepared torches and continued to walk forward.

After walking through a narrow corridor, there are stone steps in front of you, which are not very steep, but there are quite a few steps, which slowly extend downward.

After turning two corners, the three of them came to another stone gate.

From the stone gate outside to here, it was not the construction scope of the tomb of King Wu of Zhou at that time, but was built later to protect the tomb of King Wu of Zhou.

The lock of the stone door had been opened, and Jing Liang turned something like a wrench, and the stone door opened.

After the stone gate was fully opened, and the flames were observed, Jing Liang took the lead in entering the stone gate.

Inside, the space is much larger, but the top is shorter and slightly oppressive.

The ground is still downward, but the slope is not large.

I didn't go far, and I crossed an arch-like structure, and another flight of steps downward.

But the steps here are noticeably neater, smoother, and darker than the previous one.

I don't know how long I walked, but the ground was finally leveled. However, the space is getting tighter.

Finally, the three of them came to the mouth of a stone cave, less than a man tall and about two feet wide.

Jing Liang squatted down in front of the entrance of the cave and put the torch into the hole.

The torches did not go out, but burned more vigorously, and the color of the flame changed from red to blue.

The ground inside the cave is much lower than outside the cave.

Jing Liang jumped down, turned around and said, "It's okay, come down." ”

Ying Zheng and Li Si also jumped down.

After Ying Zheng landed, he stumbled and almost sat on the ground.

Lis, on the other hand, was a simple buffer, standing very steady, and making no sound at all.

Ying Zheng looked at Li Si in surprise.

In Ying Zheng's heart, Li Si has always been a gentle and elegant scholar, this image has long been ingrained, Ying Zheng never expected that Li Si's kung fu was better than him.

Yes, as the beloved disciple of the old man in white, he is both civil and military, which is normal.

Thinking of this, Ying Zheng was also relieved.

Jing Liang had already walked forward, and the blue light of the torch extended forward with Jing Liang's slow steps.

Suddenly, several human faces appeared in his sight, with no pupils in his eyes, and his face was pale, like demons under the reflection of blue flames.

Ying Zheng was shocked, and subconsciously took two steps back, and was supported by Li Si behind him.

Even though he was mentally prepared to enter the tomb, Ying Zheng was also shocked by the sudden vision.

Jing Liang turned around and said with a light smile: "It's okay, Wang, it's just a few terracotta figurines." ”

"Terracotta figurines?" Ying Zheng settled down and took a few steps forward.

Sure enough, what suddenly appeared in front of me was indeed several terracotta figurines, the height of which was similar to that of a real person, and if you didn't look closely, you would think that it was a living person standing there, looking at its clothes, it was the dress of several soldiers.

Ying Zheng let out a sigh and said, "Are these terracotta warriors deliberately placed here to scare tomb robbers?" ”

Li Si said with a smile behind him: "Does the king think that these few terracotta warriors alone are enough to scare off those tomb robbers?" ”

"This terracotta warrior should be in the main tomb, but it's not just these few." Jing Liang said, "Let's move forward." ”

"However, when the widow came before, he didn't see these terracotta warriors." Ying Zheng still looked puzzled.

"Your Majesty, have you forgotten that the master of the grass people is in Xianyang." Li Si whispered.

Ying Zhengluo nodded a little embarrassedly, presumably the old man in white had great powers, and this Martial King Mausoleum was clearly guarded by the Qin army, but it was not the case secretly.

Besides, the old man in white asked Ying Zheng to come to the tomb of King Wu of Zhou to get some treasures, how could the old man not make some preparations in advance. And Li Si and Jing Liang obviously knew the intention of placing these terracotta warriors here, maybe it was just not time to tell him.

Rounding a few terracotta figurines, the three of them continued to walk forward.

After not going far, a circular pit resembling a pool appeared in front of it. The pit was in a corner and had never been noticed before.

Jing Liang walked around the round pit, and then squatted down.

Drawing his saber, Jing Liang slashed a finger and dripped the blood into the dimples in the ground.

Ying Zheng was a little surprised by Jing Liang's behavior, but he didn't ask much, just watched from the sidelines.

An even stranger situation appeared, a few drops of blood dripping in the pit actually fluctuated.

Immediately afterwards, a hole appeared on the lower edge of the edge of the circular pit corresponding to the straight line of the pit.

Jing Liang turned around and said to Ying Zheng, "Your Majesty, it's your turn." ”

Ying Zheng looked dazed: "It's time to be a widow?" ”

Li Si arched his hand behind him and said: "Your Majesty, didn't you bring a dark iron snail, what is its function, I guess the master has already told you." ”

Ying Zheng then remembered the Xuantie snail that had been prepared long ago, and remembered that the old man in white said that only by using it could he enter the interior of King Wu's Mausoleum.

Untied the package he was carrying, Ying Zheng took out the box containing the black iron snail from it.

He took out the snail and twisted it twice, and the snail formed a shape similar to a key.

"Or, Brother Jing, come on." Ying Zheng was a little timid, and handed the Xuantie Snail to Jing Liang.

"This is the king's exclusive possession, and no one else can use it." Jing Liang said.

Ying Zheng spread his hands, picked up the black iron snail, and walked towards the hole.

Because of the tense relationship, Ying Zheng's hands trembled slightly.

Although he couldn't see the structure inside the hole, Ying Zheng still put the black iron snail vertically according to its shape.

After turning half a circle slightly, Ying Zheng took the dark iron snail back.

Chirping...... Chirping...... Rattle......

The bottom of the circular pit sank downward, until it was a foot deep, before it could be stopped.

When it stopped, it didn't make much noise.

Jing Liang just glanced at it and jumped down first.

Ying Zheng looked back at Li Si and asked, "What's down here?" ”

"Back to the king." Li Si arched his hand and said, "Below here, is the real Martial King Tomb." ”

"It turns out that the real entrance is here, and I didn't expect this design to be so complicated." Ying Zheng sighed.

"More complicated ones are yet to come." Li Si said with a smile.

Ying Zheng was just about to ask something, when Jing Liang's voice came from the round pit: "Your Majesty, you can come down." ”

Ying Zheng looked down and saw Jing Liang waving to him.

Looking at the bottom of the pit that was a foot deep, Ying Zheng instinctively took a step back.

"Your Majesty, the Book of Changes and other treasures are still waiting for you below." Behind him came Lees's voice.

Hearing the Book of Changes, Ying Zheng's hesitation and timidity subsided for the most part, and said to Jing Liang: "Brother Jing, catch the widow." ”

With that, he jumped down.

In the end, a young man of twenty years old, as long as he is given enough motivation, he will have enough courage.

Jing Liang gently helped him below, and Ying Zheng was already standing at the bottom of the circular pit, only shaking slightly.

As soon as Ying Zheng stood firm, Li Si jumped down and stood firmly beside Ying Zheng.

Li Si's skills are still so inconsistent with his image all along, which makes people feel quite weird.

Li Si returned the torch that Ying Zheng handed over to him just now, and said, "Your Majesty, if you come again next time, you won't feel any difficulties." ”

Ying Zheng nodded and made up his mind.

"The entrance is here." Jing Liang pointed in one direction with a torch and said.

A hole more than one person high, appeared in that direction.

It was still Jing Liang who was exploring the road in front, Ying Zheng was in the middle, Li Si was at the end, and the three of them entered the hole.

It's still a downward staircase, but it's not straight up and down, it's spiraling downward.

After walking for a while, the wall on the other side of the stairs disappeared, and the empty part, due to the dim light, could not see what was going on below.

But it is clear that the steps are built against the side of the mountain wall.

"Sir, is this still a mausoleum?" Ying Zheng asked nervously and curiously.

"Of course, Your Majesty." Li Si said, "We entered the Mausoleum of King Zhou from the top, and there were a total of nine floors down, and we are about to reach the first floor." ”

Ying Zheng's jaw slammed on the ground.

Nine floors?

After a long time, I haven't reached the first floor yet?
