Chapter 59: My name is Jing Ke
The layout and display of the second floor are almost exactly the same as those on the first floor, and Ying Zheng couldn't help asking: "Among the nine floors, is each floor the same layout?" ”
Li Si said: "It's not all the same, it should just be that the first two layers are very similar." ”
"And what about the other floors?" Ying Zheng asked.
"The minister also doesn't know, the master has never brought the two of us below the second floor." Li Si said, "I just heard from the master that this and the second 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 terracotta array, the three of them still came to the side of several coffins.
"Your Majesty, this time, let you open it yourself." Jing Liang said.
Ying Zheng nodded, he knew that Jing Liang had another sentence behind him: next time he would not open the door for Ying Zheng again. But it was not spoken.
Ying Zheng walked to the front of the coffin in the middle and pointed to the coffin: "It's this one, right?" ”
Jing Liang nodded, signaling Ying Zheng to turn around and walk towards the mountain wall.
Ying Zheng learned from Jing Liang's appearance before, followed the direction of the coffin, and walked straight to the front of the mountain wall.
When his finger 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 settled down and grabbed the slightly raised stone hard.
With a slight twist, the stone was really turned, and then it broke away from the mountain wall and was held in Yingzheng's hand.
The stone detached from the position of 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 slight twist, Ying Zheng withdrew the snail.
Chirping... Ga...
Needless to say, the mechanism of the secret room on the second floor is opened.
Ying Zheng walked towards the mountain wall in the same position 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 position of a round stone, grabbed the round stone, and turned it around.
Syllable...
With a crisp sound, a crack appeared in the mountain wall, and the stone gate appeared.
Without waiting for Ying Zheng to push the stone door, Jing Liang blocked in front of Ying Zheng.
"Your Majesty, let's let you enter first." Jing Liang said.
Ying Zheng nodded slightly, and then gave up half of his position.
Jing Liang nudged the stone door, then extended the torch into the chamber.
On the torch, the blue flame danced 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 and entered the secret room on the second floor.
Jing Liang took another turn in the secret room, and along the inner wall of the secret room, he lit the candlestick for lighting, and the secret room suddenly became bright.
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 it feels a little larger.
The stone platform in the middle is also slightly higher than the first floor, and there is an additional stepping stone underneath.
There are some jewels and calligraphy and paintings scattered around, and there are more of them than on the first floor.
Ying Zheng saw the cyan box placed on the stone platform at a glance, and then walked over.
"This is the middle volume of the Book of Changes, right?" Although he had already guessed it, Ying Zheng still asked with a little curiosity.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Li Si replied, "This is the middle volume of the I Ching. ”
Ying Zheng picked up the box, flipped it over, and took out the black iron snail and put it on the dent at the back of the box.
The box 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 muttered to himself: "I don't know if adding this middle volume can solve the mystery of the tortoiseshell." ”
One of the things that Ying Zheng has been thinking about is to solve the mystery of the tortoiseshell beast bones, so as to find the ancient ruins and "my weapon".
Li Si smiled and said: "The king has two of the three scriptures, and it is expected that most of the content can already be interpreted, but Weichen still suggests that the king should not be in a hurry, and wait until he can interpret them all, and then make a careful plan." ”
This is Li Si, who will be fully prepared for everything before taking action.
Ying Zheng nodded, put the bronze book in the box, and closed the lid.
"Sir, what needs to be done on this level to get to the third floor?" Ying Zheng asked.
Instead of waiting for someone else to arrange, it is better to take the initiative to ask.
"It should be these two scrolls." Lees pointed to the other side of the stone platform and walked there.
On the other side of the stone platform were two dark yellow scrolls, Ying Zheng thought that those calligraphy and paintings, and his attention was on the Book of Changes, so he didn't care.
Lees picked up one of the scrolls and opened it to look at it.
Jing Liang also wandered around the place where the jewels and utensils were stacked, as if looking for something.
"Your Majesty, what is recorded here is indeed the method of making that special paint." After speaking, Li Si said that the scroll in his hand was handed to Ying Zheng.
Ying Zheng took the scroll and opened it to look at it, with an embarrassed look on his face.
Still can't read it.
Like the "Classic of Agriculture and Grain", the text in the scroll is still in Huaxia, and only a few characters are similar to Qin, and Yingzheng has not memorized all of Huaxia.
Ying Zheng shook his head with a wry smile, and said: "It seems that you still need to use the Huaxia font, it seems that the widow needs to use the Huaxia font to memorize the Huaxia script and even the characters of various countries." ”
After speaking, Ying Zheng seemed to realize something, looked at Li Si, and said: "Sir actually understands the content of the scroll at a glance, can it be that you have already mastered the words of various countries?" ”
Li Si smiled and said, "When Weichen was just helping Wang Shang sort out the Huaxia font library, he paid special attention to Zhou Wen and found that Zhou Wen was very similar to ancient Chinese texts, so he memorized some of them. ”
"That's too fast." Ying Zheng asked suspiciously, "The Huaxia font library that the widow compiled with you, but the widow didn't remember a few." ”
"Found it!" Before Li Si could answer, Jing Liang's voice came from the other side of the secret room.
I don't know if he was really excited because he found something, or to divert the topic of Ying Zheng and Li Si, Jing Liang's voice was extremely loud.
I saw Jing Liang take out a wooden barrel from the corner of the wall, and looking at the weight, it should be full of things.
Jing Liang picked up the wooden barrel, walked to Ying Zheng, and put the wooden 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 and said, "It was placed here by the master in order to facilitate the king's imitation." ”
Ying Zheng nodded lightly, seemingly not interested in paint.
Li Si stepped forward to check it and said to Ying Zheng: "Your Majesty, don't underestimate such paints, if the king wants to pass on something to future generations, these paints play a decisive role, if there is no such thing, Jiuding is afraid that it has already rotted." ”
As soon as Li Si said this, Ying Zheng realized the importance of this paint, and couldn't help but feel nervous.
Ying Zheng smiled awkwardly and said, "Presumably, anything in this Martial King Mausoleum is a treasure, and the widow will not despise anything." ”
Li Si returned to the stone platform, picked up another scroll, and opened it to look at it.
"Your Majesty, this is a design of a weapon." After speaking, Li Si handed the scroll to Ying Zheng.
"What kind of weapon?" As soon as he heard that it was a weapon, Ying Zheng's eyes suddenly showed a divine light.
"Flying crossbows." Lees said.
"Flying crossbows?" Ying Zheng thought it was some kind of blade.
"Yes, crossbows." Li Si said, "According to Shizun, this kind of crossbow can accurately shoot enemies hundreds of feet away. ”
"In that case, the range of this crossbow is almost the same as that of a bow and arrow." Ying Zheng said.
"If you use a bow and arrow, it is very demanding in archery, and you need to practice diligently to improve your accuracy." "The flying crossbow does not require such high archery skills, nor does it require too high human arm strength and endurance, and it is easy to carry." ”
"In this way, this 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 will be able to compete with her." ”
Ying Zheng said with some embarrassment: "Brother Jing, you're joking, where is the instrument for making flying crossbows?" ”
"Right next to the barrel where the paint was placed." Jing Liang said that, and walked to the corner again.
Ying Zheng and Li Si followed.
Walking around the scattered jewels, I saw two loom-like utensils in the corner, but much smaller than the loom and very delicate.
Next to the instrument, there are two crossbows, which should be flying crossbows.
"What the predecessors asked the widow to imitate is not this flying crossbow, but the equipment used to make this flying crossbow, right?" Ying Zheng asked.
"Huh." Li Si smiled, "Sure enough, I can't hide anything from the king." ”
Ying Zheng stepped forward and picked up a flying crossbow and fiddled with it. I saw that this flying crossbow is indeed exquisite, although I can't see the age, but it is expected to be very old, but it is the same as new in front of me, and the workmanship is finer than the normal flying crossbow, and there are a few more small parts.
"It is expected that the predecessors should want the widow to save some effort when he seizes the throne and equalizes the world, so he let the widow make some better weapons." Ying Zheng said in a grateful tone.
Li Si nodded and said, "Shizun has good intentions for the king. ”
"Is there anything else that needs to be imitated on this floor?" Ying Zheng asked.
"Back to the king, there is none." Lees said.
"How do you bring it back?" Ying Zheng asked again.
Li Si said: "It's better for Weichen to figure out a way." ”
"Okay." Ying Zheng said, "Then let's go back, hurry up and copy them, so that we can get the I Ching together as soon as possible." And this flying crossbow, the widow also wants to try the power earlier. ”
Speaking of the test-firing of the flying crossbow, Ying Zheng unconsciously remembered Princess Hu Yu.
Ying Zheng walked to the stone platform and put away the middle scroll 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 Yingzheng back.
The three horses went to the official road, and Jing Liang bowed his hand to Yingzheng and said, "Your Majesty, Jing Liang will go to the battlefield." ”
"Brother Jing, are you leaving?" Ying Zheng asked urgently.
Jing Liang nodded, his eyes extremely resolute.
"That's... Brother Jing hasn't told the widow yet, what name you want to change. Ying Zheng said.
Only when you know Jing Liang's future name can you inquire about his whereabouts in the future.
"I want to change my name to Jing Ke." Jing Liang said in a deep voice, "Since then, there has been no such person as Jing Liang in the world. ”
"Jing... Ke...," Ying Zheng muttered in a low voice.
"Take care, Your Majesty!" With that, Jing Liang galloped away on his horse and never looked back.
"Brother Jing, take care!" Ying Zheng came to his senses and shouted urgently.
Looking at Jing Liang's distant back, Ying Zheng felt very sad, and he would never have thought that meeting Jing Liang again would be a way he had never imagined.
