Before Ying Zheng could figure out this problem, Li Si pulled him.

"Your Majesty, look." Lees said.

Ying Zheng looked in the direction of Li Si's finger, and not far away, rows of terracotta warriors stood on top of each other.

What surprised Ying Zheng was that these terracotta warriors in front of him were different from the previous two layers, each of which had colorful colors, lifelike, vivid, as if a real person, like a phalanx of sergeants waiting for the battle.

If it weren't for the terracotta warriors who had seen such a formation in the first two layers before, they would definitely be frightened.

Ying Zheng stared blankly for a long time, if it wasn't for Li Si pulling him forward, he couldn't come back to his senses.

Walking to the colorful terracotta warriors, Ying Zheng carefully looked at it. The styles, expressions, and clothing of these terracotta warriors are no different from those he imitated, the difference is only in these colors.

"Sir, is it the paint?" Ying Zheng asked.

Li Si nodded and said, "If the king can imitate an ordinary saber into the color of the Xuanyuan Sword, then it would not be surprising that these terracotta warriors in front of him are not surprised. ”

Ying Zheng suddenly realized, imitated the Xuanyuan sword for Princess Hu Yu, changed the paint to golden yellow, and painted it, this idea is still his own idea, if the paint has a way to make golden yellow, then of course all kinds of colors can be.

Ying Zheng reached out and touched the terracotta warriors, the tentacles were smooth, and they didn't feel cold, which was very similar to the feeling of touching Jiuding.

"In this way, there is no problem that these terracotta warriors can be preserved for hundreds or thousands of years." Ying Zheng said.

"Exactly, if you extrapolate according to the era when King Wu of Zhou built the tomb, it has been more than 800 years." Li Si said, "Your Majesty, let's go forward. ”

Ying Zheng nodded and followed Li Si through the terracotta formation.

Walking through the terracotta array, I didn't see the five coffins similar to the first two floors, what appeared in front of me was a hall of wooden building, there was no door, Li Si walked in directly.

There are all kinds of weapons in the hall that I don't know what age they are, although they look quite new, but whether it is style or workmanship, in Yingzheng's opinion, they can only be used for hunting.

But it's no wonder, considering the time when these weapons were placed here, then these weapons were undoubtedly the best at that time.

And these weapons have the same function as all other gold, silver and jewelry, and are used to hide people's eyes.

Li Si walked in front of a long sword, followed the direction the long sword pointed, and came to a wooden table.

Only then did Ying Zheng understand that these weapons were placed here to guide the direction instead of those coffins.

Almost in the same vein, Li Si found the keyhole of the conch.

The dark iron snail seems to be omnipotent, and the lock can be opened anywhere, but Ying Zheng didn't have time to ask more, and quickly turned the dark iron snail.

A plank of wood on the wall loosened and sank a little, revealing a stone door.

The stone door didn't seem to need a key, and Lees twisted something that looked like a wrench on the side, and the stone door opened.

There was no light inside the stone gate, so Li Si went inside and lit the oil lamp, and then called Yingzheng into the door.

The stone door is also a secret room, the space is a little larger than the first two floors, but the layout is similar, and there are more scattered jewels.

Ying Zheng didn't have the heart to look elsewhere, his eyes were directly fixed on the stone platform in the middle.

I saw a large bronze box, a scroll, and a cloth bag on the stone platform.

Ying Zheng didn't think about it, walked to the bronze box, and took out the black iron snail.

Ying Zheng wanted to move the bronze box closer before opening it, but he miscalculated its weight, and one hand didn't push it.

"So heavy?" Ying Zheng muttered to himself.

Li Si didn't say anything, and after setting off the torch, he helped Yingzheng move the bronze box to the front.

Ying Zheng opened the bronze lid very quickly, but when he saw the contents inside, he was stunned.

Inside the bronze box, it is not the lower part of the "Book of Changes" that Ying Zheng thought about in the evening, but a piece of white metal sheets, neatly placed in three rows in the box, and some strange graphics can be faintly seen on the surface of the metal sheets.

"What is this?" Ying Zheng looked at Li Si and asked with some frustration.

"Your Majesty, this is not the second volume of the Book of Changes." Li Si pointed to the cloth bag next to him and said, "According to Shizun, he left a letter for you here, let's see what the letter says." ”

Ying Zheng looked at the cloth bag and reached out to take it.

There were two stacks of brocade silk in the cloth bag, and Ying Zheng opened the one on it and saw that it was indeed a letter left by the old man in white.

The contents of the epistle:

King Qin Zhengqi:

"Only when you come to this third layer of the Tomb of King Wu can you really enter the Tomb of King Wu, and for your words, the real test has officially begun, anything here, any corner, you must understand and familiarize yourself as much as possible. In the face of every task, or problem that needs to be solved, you have to spare no effort to solve, but you can rest assured that these problems that need to be solved are not too difficult, let alone worry about your life, but most of them need to be completed by yourself. ”

Seeing this, Ying Zheng looked up at Li Si.

Li Si smiled, although he didn't see the content of the letter, it was not difficult to guess what Ying Zheng was thinking.

Ying Zheng was shocked by what he saw next, only to see that the letter read:

"The second volume of the Book of Changes that you have been thinking about for a long time is not in this third-layer mausoleum, or even, not in this mausoleum of King Wu."

Ying Zheng asked Li Si urgently: "Sir, this letter says that the second volume of the Book of Changes is not in this tomb of King Wu. ”

After speaking, Ying Zheng also handed the brocade silk to Li Si and showed him this sentence.

Li Si glanced at the brocade silk, arched his hand and said: "Don't worry, don't worry, after reading the letter from the master, let's talk about it, and I will definitely say the reason later." ”

Ying Zheng settled down and continued to read the content of the letter.

"The Tianmu you saw in Qishan before was supposed to be guarded by the dragon clan, in order to let you see Tianmu, the old man used the next volume of the Book of Changes in exchange for the Tianmu, and if you want to change back to the Book of Changes, you need to go to see the guard in person, he is in Lishan, and the scroll next to it is a map to get there. This guard is not of our race, you need to meet the conditions he put forward, he will hand over the next volume of the I Ching to you, as for his preferences, Li Si will tell you. ”

This is the end of the first letter, and it has not been signed.

"Sir, the Tianmu guard mentioned in the letter is in Lishan, do you know who he is?" Ying Zheng asked.

"Lishan?" Liston paused for a moment and said, "Its name, the king must have heard of it, is called Jairus." ”

"Jairus?" Ying Zheng's eyes widened, "Divine beast? ”

What's the situation?

Li Si smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, it should have been mentioned in the letter, that guard is not of our race, it is a dragon race. “

Ying Zheng imagined the appearance of his eyes, but he still didn't come to his senses.

"Your Majesty, you will have more time to deal with them in the future, so let's see what is written in the next letter." Lees said.

Ying Zheng retracted his thoughts at this time, and while opening the second letter, he whispered: "Is there really a divine beast in the world?" “

"Your Majesty, you are no longer an ordinary man, so do not be timid about what you do not know." Li Si reminded.

Ying Zheng made up his mind, opened the second letter, and then read it side by side with Li Si.

It reads:

"The silver piece in this copper box is the inheritance of the heavenly inheritors of the past dynasties, called the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", which is recorded by the heavenly inheritors of the past dynasties after going to the land of the nine secluded places, along the way to the land conditions, weather, and the record of what they have seen and heard, after you take back the "Book of Changes", translate it into Chinese characters, and then you must keep it in mind, and when you go to the land of the nine secluded places in the future, it will be of great use, remember."

"The Classic of Mountains and Seas"?

The letter is short, but the amount of information it contains is huge.

After reading the letter, Ying Zheng turned his head to look at Li Si, he really had too many questions to ask, but he didn't know where to start.

Li Si put away the letter for Yingzheng, and then said: "Your Majesty, bring the things, let's go back first, if we have something to say on the road, as for the tasks of this layer, there are two, one is to imitate the paint with colors, and then make terracotta warriors with various colors; The other is to familiarize yourself with and recite the Classic of Mountains and Seas. ”

Ying Zheng looked at the blue torches that had become faint and nodded.

Li Si picked up the bronze box, Ying Zheng put away the scroll and letter, and the two closed the door of the secret room and returned from the same way.

"Sir, this "Classic of Mountains and Seas" must be very important." Ying Zheng asked as he walked.

"Of course." Li Si said solemnly, "This is the painstaking efforts of the successive Heavenly Inheritors, passed down from generation to generation, and regarded as a precious book." ”

Ying Zheng's heart trembled, and asked, "Could it be that there are many secrets hidden in this?" ”

Li Si shook his head and said, "It's not a secret, it is said that it is what the predecessors have seen and heard in the Nine Shadows. But the accumulation of these experiences is enough for the king to use to save his life when he goes to the Nine Shadows in the future, so that he will not be in danger. ”

Ying Zheng looked shocked and said, "Could it be...... Is the Nine Shadows really so dangerous? ”

"The greatest danger lies in the unknown." Li Si smiled bitterly, "Being in the Nine Shadows, maybe if you eat a random fruit, you will also be poisoned." ”

Ying Zheng couldn't help but shudder.

"It's not too early, the king, let's go back to the palace." Lees said.

Ying Zheng nodded and said no more.

The two of them walked out of the gate of King Wu's mausoleum, returned to the ground, it was already dark, and then rode back to the palace, all the way Yingzheng was thinking about what the old man in white said in the letter.

Back in the dormitory, Ying Zheng ate something briefly, and then pulled Li Si into the inner room of the study.

"Sir, tell the widow about it again." Ying Zheng said eagerly.

Li Si smiled and made a gesture of please.

Ying Zheng poured a glass of water for Li Si and handed it to Li Si, his eyes full of expectation.

Li Si cleared his throat, and then said: "Shizun should have said to the king that Tianmu corresponds to Jiuding, and there are nine in total." ”

Ying Zheng nodded.

"Jiuding is made by our human race, but Tianmu is protected by the dragon clan in order to maintain the energy of Tianmu, and each Tianmu is scattered in different places in Jiuxiao, and each Tianmu has a dragon guard to guard." Li Si said slowly.

"Nine Great Dragon Beasts?" Ying Zheng asked in surprise, speaking at the opposite speed of Li Si.

Li Si nodded slightly and said, "If it is the Tianmu guard of Lishan, it should be Jianxi, he is the second among the nine dragon beasts." ”

It turns out that the nine dragon beasts are not made up by myths.

"But that's just a legendary beast, even if they really exist, if you want a widow to find them, how can you communicate with them then." Ying Zheng said in a trembling voice.

Li Si knew that Ying Zheng was a little timid, so he comforted: "Your Majesty, in fact, the dragon clan is not the fierce beast that people imagine, they are the masters of wisdom in the egg clan, even smarter than humans, and they also know how to use energy, and now they are also the supreme lord in the land of the Nine Shadows, and we can communicate directly with them, they understand our language." ”

Speaking of the Nine Secluded Land, Ying Zheng's eyes fell on the bronze box he had just brought back, reached out to take the dark iron snail, opened the lid, took out a silver piece, and looked at it carefully.

"Your Majesty, the master said in the letter that he was going to find Jairus to exchange for the last volume of the Book of Changes, although the master did not mention what conditions he needed to meet, but Weichen wanted to come, and it was necessary to do what he liked." Li Si still said slowly.

"Do what you like? So what will it like, we haven't seen it. Ying Zheng said with a wry smile.

"Yes." Li Si said indifferently, "Wechen has seen it, and the king has also seen it." ”

"Huh?" Ying Zheng was surprised, "Have you seen it? How could the widow not remember when he had seen any drakes? ”

Li Si smiled and said, "What about the king's Xuanyuan sword, take it out and take a look." ”

Ying Zheng seemed to have realized: "Could it be? ”

Lees made a gesture of please.

Ying Zheng took out the Xuanyuan Sword from the dark compartment and placed it on the table.

Li Si pointed to the pattern of the strange beast on the Xuanyuan Sword and said, "Isn't this it, Dragon Beast Eye." ”

"This is Jairus?" Ying Zheng picked up the sword and carefully looked at the beast totem on the hilt.

Look at it, Ying Zheng didn't reach out to touch the totem.

"Legend has it that the Yellow Emperor finished building Jiuding that year, and made some covenants with each guardian beast, because Jairus likes to fight, so when casting the Xuanyuan sword, the image of Jairus was cast on the sword body to show reverence." Lees said.

"What does Mr. mean ......" Ying Zheng said halfway, waiting for Li Si's answer.

"Didn't the king imitate a Xuanyuan sword for Princess Hu Yu, so it's better to imitate more." Li Si laughed.

Ying Zheng breathed a sigh of relief and gave Li Si a thumbs up with a smile.

It is unclear whether this gift can be exchanged for the last volume of the I Ching, but at least there is a chance.
