The exquisite ancestor actually preserved a portrait of Ji Fa!

It's surprising and at the same time, it's reasonable.

At that time, the King of Essence sent someone to make nine small stone tripods that were exactly the same as the Huaxia Jiuding to commemorate them, and the two of them became very good friends, so it was normal for the King of Essence at that time to draw a portrait of Ji Fa in secret.

But what people didn't expect was that the portrait had been preserved like the exquisite ancestral teachings, and it hadn't been corrupted for hundreds of years?

Thinking of this, Ji Fa remembered that when making Xiaoshiding, Ji Fa had given King Jingjue some ancient paint, which is the Yangu lacquer used by Yingzheng now, and at that time, Ji Fa just wanted to smear it on Xiaoshiding.

Now it seems that the paint has not run out, and the rest has been painted on Ji Fa's portrait by the Absolute King at that time.

"Hahaha......" Ji Fa's smile was calm and calm, without a trace of panic, "The portrait left by the ancestors of your country is a little similar to the old man, what a coincidence."

Ji Fa's understatement directly sealed the path of his thumb's deep study.

Coincidence, pure coincidence.

"Hehe, it's a coincidence." Thumb didn't ask any more questions, but said, "The portrait is so old that I can only see the outline, which of course gives me a sense of déjà vu."

"No wonder." Ji Fa smiled and changed the subject, "If it's late today, it's better for you to rest early, and we'll discuss something tomorrow."

Thumb waved his hand and said, "I came to Huaxia with my ghost hands thousands of miles away, but I didn't come to rest, so let's go to the place where the tomb was built first."

Ying Zheng was also anxious to see the appearance of the royal tomb, so he followed and said, "Yes, senior, let's go to the royal tomb to have a look first, but the widow has been thinking about it."

"Okay, okay, let's take a look." Ji started and went out first.

Meng Yi took Meng Tian to lead the way, and the three of them followed behind, walking in the direction of the secret room.

I didn't go far before I saw an open field in front of me, and a huge pit appeared in front of me, which was the pit that Li Si had dug out of quenching alloy before.

The pit seems to have widened a bit, and the steps have been repaired relatively smoothly, and then look at the well, which is much larger than before, and at a glance, it is bottomless.

Ji Fa stopped on the edge of the deep pit, looked at the well below, and said, "This huge pit is the entrance to the construction of the royal tomb, and after the royal tomb is completed, this place can also be used as a void mound to protect the royal tomb."

Void mound?

Ying Zheng asked with some confusion, "The meaning of this void mound can be said to be a false royal tomb?"

"Well, exactly." Ji Fa said, "As always, this is the place to deal with tomb robbers, and the real entrance, without a key, no one can open it for no reason."

Hearing this, Ying Zheng's heart tightened, and he quickly pulled Ji Fa aside, lowered his voice, and said with a little shame, "Senior, I want to tell you something."

"What's the mystery, God?" Ji Fa asked puzzled.

"Ugh...... The key you just mentioned refers to the snail?" Ying Zheng asked slowly.

Ji Fa smiled and said, "You've used it many times, and you still use the old man to answer you."

A drop of cold sweat broke out on Ying Zheng's forehead: "Then I don't know if there is any extra one in this dark iron snail?"

"What, you lost that?" Hearing Ying Zheng's question, Ji Fa guessed a rough idea.

"Hey, hey." Ying Zheng smiled on his face and said, "It's not that I'm lost, but ...... Gave it away."

Ji Fa: "......"

"It's actually a coincidence." Ying Zheng then explained, "On the day when the widow first arrived at the Perfection, he found something mixed with rocks and half of it resembled a black iron snail in a stall on the side of the road

Edge gets by chance

of."

"Oh?" Ji Fa looked suspicious.

"Later, the Queen of Absolute Perfection got all the rocks off that thing, and it turned out that the object inside was really a dark iron snail." Ying Zheng said.

"Is it really a snail?" Ji Fa asked in some surprise.

"Well, it's rusty and unusable." Ying Zheng said, "At that time, the widow was wondering if it could be a senior who left it there."

"Our ancestors must have been to the Perfection of the Past, and it is not impossible for any one of them to leave it on the Mill of Sand." Ji Fa said.

Judging from Ji Fa's expression, the dark iron snail should not have been lost by him, and he didn't know about it.

Then the era of the dark iron snail is even older.

"Later, when the Queen of Wuchan asked what it was, I told him that it was a dark iron snail, the key to open the ancient king's tomb." Ying Zheng continued, "Then she had a whim, saying that Jing Jue also wanted to build a royal tomb exactly like us, and I thought that this royal tomb was not a secret to Jing Jue, so I agreed."

"So you sent the snail out?" Ji Fa asked.

"Well, I didn't send it at the time, but then she gave me a bloody horse of Dawan, and then in order to show my sincerity to help her build the royal tomb, I gave her the Xuantie Snail." Ying Zheng said.

Sometimes, the passage can be twisted and turned.

"Don't you ask, if there is a spare copy of this black iron snail, just give it away?" Ji Fa complained.

"Hehe, I don't think that even if it's out of stock, you'll definitely make a new one." Ying Zheng said with a grin.

"How so?"

"A hint from the old pre-ancient snail." Ying Zheng said, "If it can't be forged, the previous one is lost, how can there be the later one."

"Hehe, you're pretty good at analyzing." Ji Fa put away his majesty and laughed.

"That means that the seniors know how to forge that?" Ying Zheng asked happily.

Ji Fa nodded and said, "It's not difficult to make a dark iron snail, but the difficult thing is the compass, and the procedure is a little more cumbersome."

Ying Zheng thinks about the circle of circular compasses and the strange characters, it is indeed a bit complicated.

"How long will it take to build it with all its might?"

Ji Fa thought for a moment and said, "Judging from the current level of forging and the skills of craftsmen, it shouldn't be needed."

With Ji Fa's words, Ying Zheng finally breathed a sigh of relief: The time is not long, and it just so happens that they also have to make instruments for the ghost hands, and without the instruments, it will be difficult for them to forge dense stones."

"Well, let's go down then, and don't keep people waiting too long." Ji Fa said, and took the lead to return to the thumb's side.

Thumb was looking around, looking at the structure of the pit, and seeing that Ji Fa had returned, he followed the stairs into the inside of the pit.

At the bottom of the pit, Jing Fan was waiting here: "Meet the king."

"Hehe, I haven't seen you for a long time, Master Jing, how is the project progressing?" Ying Zheng felt very cordial when he saw Jing Fan.

"Please also ask the king to check it himself." Jing Fan saw that there were outsiders, and said respectfully.

"Okay, then lead the way." Ying Zheng waved his arm.

"Please." Jing Fan made a gesture, and then led the way to the front of the well.

I saw that the entrance of the cave was more than twice as large as before, and the light of the torches came from below, and it seemed that the bottom did not expand downward, but the structure of a hall.

On one side of the hole, there is a folding ladder that goes down.

Everyone followed Jing Fan, walked down the folding stairs, and came to this hall underground.

The hall is a rectangular structure with two sets of instruments on either side, and it appears that it is a conveyor belt for transporting earth.

On either side of each set of equipment, there are two rows of sergeants shaking the axles in their hands, and the conveyor belts on them, which seem to be connected by tree bark, look quite sturdy, but the structure inside is not visible

See, but it must be very complex as well

Mixed.

"This is a conveyor belt designed by Ji's predecessors, which is very easy to use, and it is much more convenient and faster than using people to transport soil." Jing Fan introduced.

Looking ahead, the other end of the conveyor belt stretched into a place that resembled a tree hole, and this bucket of soil was dumped from that tree hole.

"It's an earthen well, a hole that carries the soil upright." Jing Fan pointed in that direction and said, "There is a vertical roulette wheel with many wooden barrels tied to it, and as the roulette wheel turns, the soil in the wooden barrel will pour out on its own when it reaches the opening."

"Oh?" Ying Zheng asked, "What is the rotation of this big roulette?"

"Back to the king, it is still achieved through the cooperation of axles of different sizes." Jing Fan said.

It's just a very common sentence, but both Ying Zheng and Thumb understand that the design and process must be extremely complicated.

The two of them looked at Ji Fa in unison.

Ji Fa grinned and said, "This kind of design can save a lot of manpower, and the speed of excavation will also be accelerated several times, if you want to complete the royal tomb as soon as possible, you can't use your brains."

Thumb asked curiously, "Then the other end of this big roulette wheel should be another conveyor belt, right?"

"Yes, but more than one." Ji Fa said.

"Haha, interesting." The thumb slapped happily, "The ghost hand in the ghost cave clan is extremely good at digging holes, but there is no such means, if Senior Ji agrees, I want to enter it to see what is going on."

"Don't worry, let's see the whole situation." Ji Fa replied with a smile.

"Okay." Thumb pressed the eagerness in his heart, and followed Jing Fan to continue walking inside.

Jing Fan pointed to the earth well and said, "The process of transporting earth and stones is actually a relatively independent and closed line, and the normal passage is on both sides."

After that, Jing Fan came to the side of the mountain wall on the right, and then ordered the two sergeants to open a secret door, which revealed a passage that was not very wide.

Everyone lit torches and followed Jing Fan into the passage.

Inside this passage, there is a folding ladder that goes straight down, which is sometimes short, sometimes slow and sometimes steep.

The speed at which the crowd marched down was also fast and slow.

After walking for about a quarter of an hour, he finally came to a flat place, and when he turned a corner, his eyes suddenly opened up.

A huge boxy space is presented in front of everyone, with no stone pillars in the middle, but many iron cables interspersed under the ceiling.

"This is the first layer, right?" Ying Zheng asked.

Unexpectedly, Jing Fan shook his head and said, "No, Your Majesty, this is the second layer."

"Oh?" Ying Zheng asked puzzled, "Why don't you start from the first layer?"

Without waiting for Jing Fan to speak, Ji Fa smiled and said, "The first layer hasn't been broken yet."

"Why is that?" Ying Zheng asked.

"The first layer is the easiest to solve, and it should be the last." Ji Fa explained, "It's like building a house, whose house isn't the last to be built."

Only then did Ying Zheng understand the truth, whether it was difficulty or procedure, it was true that the construction of the first floor should be put last.

Thumb carefully looked at this huge underground space, and the countless torches in it were like stars in the night.

"Is the structure of this space, without beams and columns, safe?" Thumb asked.

"If it's used for a while, it's naturally fine, but if you want to keep it for a thousand years, you have to use dense stones to strengthen it." Ji Fa said, "So, next, it's up to you."

Suddenly, all eyes were on the thumb.

The resolute gaze of the thumb collided with Ji Fa's gaze.

As if a deal had been reached, or a tacit understanding had been formed, the two men nodded at the same time and laughed together.
