Chapter 90: The Three-Story Martial King Mausoleum
The good news came one after another, which made Yingzheng a little confused.
For Jing Fan, he just completed the task assigned by Ying Zheng in advance, but for Ying Zheng, the meaning is far different.
The imitation is completed, which means that you can enter the next layer of the tomb of King Wu, and you can also get the next volume of the Book of Changes.
After getting together the "Book of Changes", he can unlock the secrets of "my instrument" and more ruins, whether there will be adventures like Emperor Yan, Yellow Emperor and Dayu and other predecessors in the future is unknown, but it is full of expectations and imagination.
Calming down his excited emotions, Ying Zhengcai said: "You made porcelain, it was already a surprise to call the widow, but in such a short period of time, these two tasks were completed. ”
If you have made meritorious service, you will be rewarded, this is the posture that an emperor should have.
Jing Fan arched his hand and said: "The king will bring our family members to reunite with us, this is the biggest reward for Jing Yao, and it is Jing Yao's job to complete the king's royal order." ”
Ying Zheng waved his hand and said: "The reward is still to be rewarded, Zhao Gao will send more money and silver when I go back, think about it again, what help does Jingyao need now." ”
Ying Zheng changed the way to reward Jing Fan, but he really gave Jing Fan a wake-up call.
"Your Majesty, if you really reward Jing Yao, let's recruit some craftsmen, the current manpower is indeed very busy." Jing Fan said.
"Huh." Ying Zheng smiled, "This is easy to say, but the newly recruited craftsmen can't know too many secrets, and the widow will order Meng Tian to oversee the production of the flying crossbow, and the newly recruited craftsmen will all make flying crossbows, you just need to teach them how to use this flying crossbow machine." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty." Jing Fan responded, "In this way, the king can put the production of the flying crossbow in the military workshop." ”
The military workshop is a workshop designed to make weapons for the army, and the Mengjia Army has its own military workshop.
Ying Zheng nodded, but he seemed to suddenly remember something, and said instead: "Jing Fan, can you make a gold-colored sword for the widow?" ”
"Gold?" Jing Fan said in surprise, "The king used gold to forge a sword, the cost is not expensive, and it can only be viewed, and it is not practical." ”
Ying Zheng smiled and said: "The widow is talking about a gold-colored sword, not a gold-colored sword, you have studied the paint, find a way to make it gold-colored, and apply it to the sword." ”
Only then did Jing Fan understand what Ying Zheng meant: "This ...... It shouldn't be difficult, but can the king have the style of a sword? ”
Ying Zheng looked at Li Si and said, "Lord Li Si knows the style of the sword, and when Master Li draws the shape, you can make it according to the picture." ”
Li Si smiled bitterly and nodded.
Before, Ying Zheng wanted to directly take the Xuanyuan Sword to imitate, but after thinking about it carefully, Li Sitong disagreed, if the imitation is too realistic, and he can't tell which one is true and which one is fake, then he will suffer, not to mention that there is a possibility that someone will steal the beam and change the pillar, it will be even more than worth the loss, so he asked Li Si to draw a picture to imitate it and deal with Princess Hu Yu.
After a short time, Li Si drew a picture of the Xuanyuan sword and handed it to Jing Fan, but neither Li Si nor Ying Zheng said the name of the sword.
Jing Fan also ordered someone to prepare lunch, among these craftsmen, there are many people who are good at cooking, and the taste of the dishes made is no worse than that in the palace.
Ying Zheng also asked Jing Fan to send people to send more meals to the sergeants who participated in the test firing of the flying crossbow, wanting to ask people to keep secrets and not block people's mouths.
After eating and drinking, Ying Zheng personally took a look at the production process of the flying crossbow and paint, and then left Jingyao with two flying crossbows and a few bundles of crossbow arrows.
On the way back, Ying Zheng and Li Si were side by side, and Zhao Gao and others followed.
"Sir, the crossbow and paint are being imitated so quickly, are you secretly helping?" Ying Zheng asked softly.
Li Si nodded slightly.
Seeing that Li Si admitted, Ying Zheng asked suspiciously: "Mr. made it clear that he would not participate in it before, and now he is helping again, what is the other reason?" ”
It is gratifying that the crossbow and paint were imitated in advance, but the reason for this is also quite curious.
"Doesn't the king want to enter the third layer of the Tomb of King Wu early and find the second volume of the Book of Changes?" Li Si also asked rhetorically very softly.
"I think about it, but didn't I agree before, after the wedding, I will make this plan." Ying Zheng said.
Li Si smiled and said: "Weichen is afraid that after the king's wedding, he has no intention of thinking about these things, after all, there are a lot of princesses." ”
And for the right reason.
Ying Zheng looked at the crossbow in his hand and smiled awkwardly.
"Actually, the reason why this time is a little ahead of schedule is because what we are going to do this time may be different from before." Li Si said slowly.
"Oh?" Ying Zheng asked with some surprise, "What's the difference?" ”
"Specifically, Weichen doesn't know, I don't know until I go." Lees said.
Ying Zheng didn't say anything, and looked at Li Si suspiciously.
Li Si smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Your Majesty, Weichen really doesn't know. ”
Ying Zheng retracted his gaze and said, "Okay, finding the last Book of Changes is something that the widow has been thinking about for a long time, since there is no accident, then let's go in tonight." ”
"That's fine." Lees replied.
Ying Zheng nodded, slowed down his horse, approached Zhao Gao, and then whispered some words, Zhao Gao nodded again and again.
returned to the palace, Princess Hu Yu was not in Yingzheng's bedroom, but went to Mrs. Xia, probably because she was bored in the house.
Ying Zheng came to Mrs. Xia's bedroom, and the two princesses and ladies were there.
asked Mrs. Xia for peace, and Ying Zheng directly took the flying crossbow from Zhao Hand and handed it to Princess Hu Yu.
Princess Hu Yu took the crossbow and looked at it over and over again, but her mouth never closed.
"Do you like it?" Ying Zheng asked.
Princess Hu Yu nodded vigorously and said, "I like it." By the king's side, no swords, guns, bows and arrows could be played, and they were all suffocated. ”
Ying Zheng: "......"
"You, you know how to play." Princess Nansu smiled and said, "The crossbow arrows that the king gave you are not for play. ”
"Yes, this crossbow is called a flying crossbow, but it's a better crossbow than the best bows." Ying Zheng said seriously.
"Really?" Princess Hu Yu's eyes widened.
"When did the widow lie to you?" Ying Zheng said.
"Then I'll go out and give it a try." Princess Hu Yu got up and hurriedly walked out.
Ying Zheng, Mrs. Xia, and Princess Nansu looked at each other and laughed together.
After dinner at Mrs. Xia's residence, Ying Zheng returned to the study, where Li Si was waiting.
"Are you ready, sir?" Ying Zheng asked.
Lees nodded.
Ying Zheng said to Zhao Gao: "Zhao Gao, go and prepare the horses." ”
Zhao Gao led the order out of the door, and Ying Zheng turned around and entered the inner room of the study.
An hour later, five horses came to the door of King Wu's mausoleum.
According to the old rules, Zhao Gao waited in the gate with the second and third watches, and Ying Zheng and Li Si entered the secret room.
Every time he comes to the Mausoleum of King Wu of Zhou, Ying Zheng's feelings are different.
The first time I was nervous, full of anticipation, everything was fresh, and there was some timidity.
The second time I was less nervous, the freshness was lowered, and the sense of anticipation was stronger.
And this time, it's more urgent, the "Book of Changes" is about to be completed, how can you not be in a hurry. You must know that every time you go down a floor, it is equivalent to opening a treasure.
Coming to the circular pit-like entrance, Ying Zheng reached for the dagger he was carrying.
Li Si walked to the front first and said, "Your Majesty, there is no need to shed blood. ”
Then Li Si took out a porcelain bottle from his bosom, uncorked it, aimed it at the hollow that was equivalent to a door lock, and poured the red liquid inside into the hollow.
"It seems that the gentleman has been prepared for a long time." Ying Zheng said with a smile.
Putting away the porcelain vase, Li Si said: "This red liquid is not blood water, but melts the Linggu Pill into the water, and the king will only open the door in this way." ”
Several black lines appeared on Ying Zheng's forehead, and he asked, "It turns out that the key to this is the red pill, so why did Jing Liang use blood water to open the door the first two times?" ”
Li Si shook his head with a wry smile, and only said two words: "He's lazy." ”
Ying Zheng: "......"
It seems that the previous knife was in vain.
The two came to the door of the secret room on the first floor, and Ying Zheng just wanted to open the stone door to enter the second floor, but was blocked by Li Si raising his hand.
"The king, from the third floor, it is different from the first two layers, the passage that needs to be walked is different from the outermost one, the king follows behind Weichen, and when you need the dark iron snail, the king will make another move." Li Si's tone was indifferent.
Ying Zheng nodded, and subconsciously touched the dark iron snail in his arms with his right hand.
Ying Zheng thought that Li Si would open the stone door to the second floor, but Li Si pointed to the secret room and said, "The king can open the door of the secret room, and we can directly enter the third floor from the secret room, so we don't have to go through the second floor." ”
Ying Zheng hesitated for a moment, but still used the dark iron snail to open the door of the secret room.
Li Si entered the door of the secret room in front of Ying Zheng, and Ying Zheng followed in.
Li Si walked behind the stone table, touched the stone wall, and directly behind the original position where the Xuanyuan Sword was placed, he touched a slightly raised round stone, and then turned it half a circle hard.
Only then did Ying Zheng discover that there was a round stone on the left and right sides of the stone wall, and the location of this round stone was exactly the position opposite the tip of the sword where the Xuanyuan Sword was placed.
Ying Zheng looked at Li Si's hand in some surprise, and said to himself: "I didn't expect that there was a mechanism here." ”
Unlike before, this time Li Si did not unscrew the round stone, but touched the round stone next to it with his other hand.
Turning most of the way in the opposite direction, the second round stone fell, revealing a circular hollow, needless to say, this was the keyhole of the snail.
Ying Zheng took out the conch, walked to him, put the conch into the hole in the form of a key, and twisted it again.
Quack Quack ......
The slate turned, and a narrow passage appeared in front of him.
Li Si took the lead in entering the passage with a torch with blue flames, and Ying Zheng looked around and followed in.
I didn't go far, and in front of me was a circular pit that looked exactly like the entrance to the first floor.
"This ......" Ying Zheng seemed to realize something.
I saw that Li Si took out the porcelain bottle from his bosom again, and poured the red liquid inside into the small round hole next to the well pit.
Unsurprisingly, Li Si's next move was to jump into the pit, and Ying Zheng didn't hesitate and jumped in.
Crunch ...... Rattle......
The pit began to sink.
"Sir, can this pit lead to the third floor?" Yingzheng didn't stand firm, so he asked anxiously.
Li Si held Ying Zheng and said, "This pit can lead to any layer. ”
Ying Zheng's eyebrows moved, and he said urgently: "Sir is saying that this nine-story Martial King Mausoleum can be reached at will by using this well pit?" ”
"Exactly." Li Si replied admittedly.
After a short while, the ladder stopped, and then it spun again. It's a lot more advanced than the entrance.
As the ladder turned, a gap became narrower and wider, and strangely enough, the light in the gap grew stronger and stronger.
Is there light in it?
When the gap reached enough to accommodate one person, Li Si took the lead in getting in, followed by Yingzheng.
When the two of them were completely standing outside, Li Si was stunned for a moment, and Ying Zheng was completely stunned.
It's a vast space, surrounded by rows of "wooden walls" that are no longer mountainous, but "wooden walls" made of rows of wood, some of which appear to be very smooth, and some of which are reflective, as if they were metal.
The light that illuminates the wooden walls is the oil lamps on the wooden walls, which are arranged very neatly and are all around.
Ying Zheng turned his head to look at Li Si and muttered, "How many years have these oil lamps been lit?" ”
Li Si smiled bitterly and shook his head.
He didn't know either.
