Li Si took Jing Fan and other craftsmen to finally complete the preliminary visit to the first three floors of the Tomb of King Wu.

Ying Zheng was ready, and stood at the entrance to the fourth floor with Li Si, Jing Fan and the others.

"Are you all ready?" Ying Zheng asked.

"Ready." The crowd replied in unison.

"Good!" Ying Zheng said, "Put on a new torch and enter the fourth layer with the widow." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Everyone picked up a new torch and, after lighting it, extinguished the original one.

"Let's go." Ying Zheng waved his hand, came to the front of the secret passage, and opened the secret door with a dark iron snail.

According to the usual practice, it was Li Si who walked in the front, Ying Zheng followed Li Si, Jing Fan and others followed behind, and entered the secret passage to the fourth layer.

The secret passage is still spiraling downward.

Jing Fan followed Ying Zheng closely and protected Ying Zheng's safety.

"Your Majesty, what kind of name is this Xuantie snail?" Jing Fan lowered his voice and asked.

"What, interested in the snails?" Ying Zheng said with a light smile.

"Your Majesty, you also know that we, the craftsmen, will be interested in seeing strange things." Jing Fan said with a smile.

Ying Zheng shook his head and said: "Actually, the widow doesn't understand the principle of this black iron snail, but, as far as the widow knows, this really can't be studied, presumably, this doesn't need to be imitated." ”

"If that's the case, the king has to protect it, otherwise this Martial King Mausoleum won't be able to enter." Jing Fan said.

Ying Zheng nodded and asked, "You've been here for the past few days, how is the production of firecrackers?" ”

"Back to the king, Lord Meng Tian has been supervising the production of firecrackers, and I heard that a lot of bamboo knots have been prepared, and they can be made when they find the minerals of sulfur and saltpeter in the next step." Jing Fan said.

Mine ...... is needed again

It seems that no matter what is made, various minerals will be needed later.

Unconsciously, he walked down for a distance, but before he reached the fourth floor, Ying Zheng had some doubts in his heart, and asked Li Sidao: "Sir, why is the passage on this floor so long?" ”

"Your Majesty." Li Si slowed down a little and said, "Weichen hasn't come in either, but it seems that the structure of this floor is different from the previous layers, let's continue to move forward, there will be no danger." ”

Ying Zheng nodded and continued to walk forward.

After walking down for some distance, a corner appeared in front of me, which seemed to be the exit.

Li Si walked in from the corner, and Ying Zheng followed.

However, behind this corner, there is not an exit, but an upward channel that changes the direction of movement and rotation.

Li Si did not stop, and walked up.

Ying Zheng looked around, saw that there was nothing unusual, and followed.

Jing Fan still followed Ying Zheng closely, and the people behind followed Jing Fan.

After walking diagonally upwards for some distance, the space in front of him finally opened up, and his feet finally stepped on the flat ground.

Li Si and Ying Zheng raised their torches respectively, and looked carefully along the stone wall on the left and right.

Against the backdrop of the blue flames, the stone walls on both sides are very smooth, straight as a mirror, and dark black, and if you look closely, you can see a little image of yourself.

Lees raised the torch to the highest level to see what the stone wall looked like above.

Ying Zheng squatted down, lowered the torch, and checked the ground.

The stone walls and the ground above are all such structures, straight and smooth, as if they have come to a rectangular special space.

Jing Fan also squatted down and carefully inspected the ground.

"Look, Your Majesty." Jing Fan touched the stone bricks on the ground and said.

"Looks like this isn't just any stone brick." Ying Zheng said.

"It's so smooth, it's so delicate, it's dark, and it's so far apart, it's the same distance between them." Jing Fan analyzed.

Tian Yi also leaned over and said: "This shows that this stone is very huge, and it is almost the same size, so it must not be a natural stone." ”

"The stone

How is it made? Ying Zheng asked.

Jing Fan lowered his body, his face almost on the ground, and observed the smooth stone: "If you rely on polishing and then applying paint to its surface, you should be able to make it, but the width of this stone is not known, if this stone is too large, it is not easy to find so many large stones." Moreover, these stones do not seem to have a natural texture. ”

When Tian Yi heard this, he also leaned down and took a closer look: "Yes, there is really no texture, is it not a natural stone?" ”

Natural stones will have textures, which is a well-known common sense.

Jing Fan tapped the ground with his finger again and said, "But this is indeed a stone, not a brick." ”

Ying Zheng also learned to knock on the ground and asked, "Why, can't stones be made into bricks?" ”

Jing Fan smiled and said, "Your Majesty, although the stone can also be made into the shape of an adobe brick, it is only polished for the sake of beauty. However, adobe bricks are made by mixing various soil materials and burning them with fire, but stones cannot be burned with fire. ”

Jing Fan was afraid that Ying Zheng would not understand, so he deliberately said it simply.

Ying Zheng thought for a while and said, "That is, normal adobe bricks can be designed in any shape and size, but stone bricks cannot. ”

"That's right, Your Majesty." Jing Fan said.

"And on this huge stone brick, there is no natural texture, and the specifications are uniform, and the volume is huge, it seems to be made by the way adobe bricks are made, but this is simply impossible." Tian Yi added.

Yes, who can burn the stone and condense it into a huge stone brick.

"In other words, we can't make this kind of stone brick in front of us yet?" Ying Zheng muttered.

Jing Fan nodded and said, "That's true." ”

Ying Zheng didn't think so: "Perhaps, the task of this layer is to imitate this stone brick, let's move forward." ”

Jing Fan and Tian Yi both shook their heads with a wry smile, got up and walked forward with Ying Zheng.

After copying so many things for Ying Zheng, the two of them were also relieved, besides, Ying Zheng also said that if he wanted to imitate his royal tomb into the appearance of King Wu's tomb this week, this kind of stone brick practice must be learned.

Continuing to walk forward, it was a corner, Jing Fan deliberately looked at the stone wall at the corner, but it was still so smooth, even the curvature seemed so natural.

Turning the corner, a rather large stone gate appeared in front of me.

Several vague figures stood on either side of the stone gate.

Except for Li Si, everyone unconsciously stopped, and the people behind them also took two steps back.

"Don't be afraid, it should be a figurine." Lees said.

Only then did everyone have the courage to follow Li Si forward.

When I got closer, there were really two rows of figurines, but the clothes of these two rows of figurines were also colorful, far away, and they looked like real people.

"The widow thought that there were really two rows of guards standing here." Ying Zheng said.

"This figurine is a little different from the previous one." Tian Yi said.

"It seems that the expression of this terracotta warrior is more delicate." Jing Fan said.

Tian Yi nodded and said, "It should be like this, compared to those on the upper layer, they are more like real people." ”

Ying Zheng didn't care about any slight changes in this terracotta warrior, and looked at the big stone gate in the middle.

Everyone's eyes also followed to the stone gate behind the terracotta warriors.

The stone gate is divided into two doors, left and right, with a copper ring in the middle, dark gray, much like the gate of the mansion of a wealthy nobleman.

On both sides of the stone gate, there are also two unicorns made of stone, which are mighty and domineering, lifelike.

Ying Zheng looked around again, and when he saw that there was no danger, he walked to the front of the stone gate and carefully searched for something.

As a rule, there should be a hole near the handle of the stone door for the use of black iron snails.

Sure enough, under the copper ring of the stone gate, there is a round lid.

Ying Zheng unscrewed the lid open, revealing a hole inside.

took out the dark iron snail, Ying Zheng inserted it diagonally into the hole, and twisted it gently.

Quack! ……

The sound of a mechanism activating suddenly sounded.

Ying Zheng withdrew and waited for the stone door to open.

However......

The stone gate did not move.

The crowd looked at each other, thinking it wasn't time yet.

Hmm, hmm......

A woman's cry came from inside the stone door.

All the people are excited.

"What sound?" Ying Zheng also became nervous.

Before Li Si could speak, Tian Yi said nervously: "Could it be...... What kind of ghost in the mausoleum? ”

After Tian Yi said this, everyone became even more nervous, and they all clenched their torches and put them on their chests, staring at the stone gate tightly.

"Sir." Ying Zheng looked at Li Si with a slight tremor in his tone.

"Don't worry, it's going to be fine." After Li Si comforted him, he walked towards the stone gate.

But before Li Si's second foot landed, he saw that the mouths of the two rows of figurines, as well as the mouths of the two stone unicorns, all spewed cyan smoke.

Everyone was so frightened that they all retreated.

Li Si also became nervous and said, "This smoke is poisonous, back off." ”

The person at the back turned and retreated, Jing Fan and Tian Yi protected Ying Zheng and also stepped back, waving their hands uncontrollably, throwing the green smoke away from the front.

However, everyone still underestimated the speed of the green smoke, and before the last person could exit the reverse, everyone was already surrounded by the green smoke.

The cry of a woman in the door gradually became clearer and louder.

Being in the mausoleum, surrounded by poisonous smoke, and constantly ringing in my ears like a woman's cry, is really a great test of people's will and courage.

At this time, I saw Li Si take Yingzheng's hand, not only did not retreat, but walked towards the stone gate.

"Your Majesty!" Jing Fan was worried about Yingzheng and shouted urgently.

Ying Zheng knew that Li Si must have a reason to do this, so he waved his hand and asked Jing Fan not to worry.

The people in the Jing family class didn't ask much, but seeing that Ying Zheng and Li Si were very calm, everyone's hearts were calmer.

After Li Si and Ying Zheng whispered a few words, the two of them came to the stone gate and searched for something together.

Due to the obscuration of the green smoke, the figures of the two people became blurred, and in order to see Ying Zheng and Li Si clearly, Jing Fan pulled the people in the Jing family class to squat on the ground and stare ahead.

After a few breaths, the green smoke became thicker, and everyone could no longer see the location of the two of them.

Ying Zheng was also quite nervous, cold sweat oozed from his forehead, but he still searched the stone gate carefully.

"Here, Your Majesty." Lees' voice came.

Ying Zheng followed the voice to Li Si's side, and looked carefully along Li Si's fingers, but saw that there was the same copper lid behind Shi Qilin.

Li Si quickly unscrewed the copper cover, but inside was not a keyhole similar to the previous one, but a smooth, crystal-like purple crystal face.

"This ......," Ying Zheng was stunned.

It's not in order!

Li Si didn't say a word, pulled Ying Zheng's wrist, took out the dagger in his arms, quickly cut Ying Zheng's index finger, and then pressed the blood-stained finger on the purple crystal surface.

net

What is this operation?

Ying Zheng just wanted to ask something, but he heard Li Si explain: "Your Majesty, this stone gate should be a double mechanism, in addition to the Xuantie snail, you also need your bloody handprint." ”

"The widow's handprint?" Ying Zheng looked down at his ten fingers.

"Yes, it was the finger that the king signed the covenant of heaven with the master at that time." Lees said.

At this time, the crying inside the stone gate stopped, and I saw that the color of the green smoke gradually faded, and slowly turned into white smoke.

Li Si exhaled and said, "The poisonous smoke has become an antidote, it should be fine." ”

Hearing Li Si's words, Ying Zheng also breathed a long sigh of relief, but he still had palpitations.

Click......

The stone door behind the two made a sound again, and Ying Zheng looked back and saw that a gap had been revealed between the two stone doors.
