Chapter 280: Worship

As soon as Ying Zheng heard that Taigong's coffin was on the high platform, he immediately frowned, and was about to walk towards the high platform, but was stopped by Ji Fa.

"Don't worry, there are also mechanisms here, and you have to follow a certain direction order." Ji Fa used his hand to roughly draw a direction order.

Ying Zheng knew that the more critical the time, the more careless he could be, so he retracted his steps and raised his hand to signal Ji Fa to go first.

Ji Fa turned sideways and walked towards the row of stone pillars on the left.

This row of stone pillars, the height and thickness are not the same, one of them is still square, in addition to the load-bearing, there seems to be any other meaning.

I saw Ji Fa bypass the first stone pillar from the left side, and the second and third stone pillars from the right side.

Ying Zheng learned from Ji Fa's appearance, and followed the route taken by Ji Fa, and even the position of his feet was not bad at all.

Jing Fan followed the pace of Ying Zheng and followed behind.

As he walked, Ying Zheng observed the surroundings.

On the side of the wall these pillars, there are several small stone doors, which seem to be burial chambers.

On the other side, there are two rows of colorful and hideous terracotta warriors, looking at the meaning, they are the guards of the main mausoleum, and when they suddenly see it, it is indeed a little chilling.

What's even more strange is that walking next to the big stone pillar, Ying Zheng faintly heard that in the stone pillar, there seemed to be a sound of liquid flowing out, although it was not as crisp as the water flow, but it could also be clearly transmitted into Ying Zheng's ears.

Ying Zheng did not stop and continued to follow Ji Fa, but his eyes and ears were not idle, carefully observing the surrounding environment and listening to the sound coming from the stone pillars.

Ji Fa walked through the nine stone pillars in the order of one on the left and two on the right, and stopped in front to wait for Ying Zheng and Jing Fan.

Ying Zheng was the first to come to Ji Fa's side, lowered his voice and said, "Master, why do I think these nine stone pillars are quite weird."

"Oh?" Ji Fa smiled and asked, "What's weird?"

"There's nothing to the burial chamber and the terracotta army next to it, but how can I vaguely hear water flowing in this stone pillar?" Ying Zheng asked with a little confusion.

"Flow?" Jing Fan, who came up from behind, asked, "Why didn't I hear the sound of water flowing?"

"Hehe, King Qin, he has broken through the ban, and naturally his hearing is much stronger than yours." Ji laughed, "There is indeed something flowing in this stone pillar, but it is not water, but mercury."

"Mercury?" The two said in unison.

"No wonder, the sound I hear is not as crisp as the flow of water." Ying Zheng said.

Jing Fan's brows moved, and he said, "I heard Tian Feng say that in order to better protect the mausoleum, some tombs will build some channels to store mercury."

"Not bad." Ji Fa nodded and said, "This mercury can well isolate heat and cold, and can ensure the normal operation of the airflow system mentioned by the old man."

"Moreover, mercury is highly toxic, which can be converted into poisonous gases, and can also help Tai Sui better transform energy."

"Therefore, in this royal tomb, there is also a system of mercury, which is integrated with other systems."

Ying Zheng and Jing Fan both nodded thoughtfully.

"Senpai." Jing Fan said in a low voice, "The patterns that the king gave me before didn't have an introduction to these systems."

"The previous pattern is the overall frame and the pattern of layered excavation, and the core structure cannot be placed there." Ji Fa said, "One of the purposes for the old man to bring you here this time is to get the pattern of the core."

"Master, the pattern of this core should be around here." Ying Zheng looked sideways at the separate burial chambers.

"These are burial chambers, and they are all ordinary jewelry." Ji Fa said, "The core patterns are all placed in a secret room in front of you."

Speaking of the secret room, Ying Zheng frowned again, and this time he didn't know which method would be used to open the door.

"Let's go

。」 Ji Fa turned around and walked quickly

Go ahead.

Ying Zheng and Jing Fan hurriedly followed, and followed Ji Fa to a clearing.

Ji Fa found a stone hole on the side of a stone pier, and then asked Ying Zheng to open the mechanism with a dark iron snail.

On the floor against the wall, a secret door opened, and the staircase inside led downward.

Ying Zheng put away the black iron snail and followed Ji Fa into this underground secret room.

This secret room is not too big, the whole is made of black dense stones, and in the reflection of the firelight, a small round tripod appeared in front of the three people.

"This is what the prince cast back then." Ji Fa stepped forward and wiped the upper edge of Xiaoding with his sleeve.

There is no dust in the entire royal tomb, and this small ding is naturally not very dirty, Ji Fa just symbolically cleaned it, and then took out a bronze book from the belly of the ding.

"This book is a treasure book that records the core secrets of this royal tomb." Ji Fa also wiped the surface of the bronze book and said, "I forgot to tell you that in fact, this royal tomb is also a remnant of an ancient civilization discovered by our predecessors in a monument."

"Oh?" Although it was the first time he had heard of it, Ying Zheng did not seem too surprised.

"You've been guessing for a long time?" Ji Fa looked at Ying Zheng and asked.

Ying Zheng smiled and said, "Master, there is no need to guess, the fact that the main body of the royal tomb is made of dense stone is enough to show its age."

"Hehe, there is progress." Ji Fa handed the bronze book to Ying Zheng's hand and said, "Open it, it is in Huaxia, let Jing Fan refer to it here, and the two of us will go to worship the Taigong."

Ying Zheng took the bronze book and saw that there were two words written on its cover: "Ancient Tomb"

When he opened the bronze book called "Ancient Tombs" with a black iron snail, he flipped it slightly, and saw that it was indeed full of descriptions of the mysterious mechanisms and dense stone structures of the royal tombs.

Ying Zheng saw that Jing Fan's eyes were about to pop out, so he put the bronze book? In his hands: "Take a closer look here, don't move around easily, the widow and the master will go and go back."

"Good!" Jing Fan responded happily and took over "Ancient Tomb" like a treasure.

For Jing Fanlai, this ancient book is more valuable than rare treasures.

Ji Fa looked at Jing Fan with a smile, and then took Ying Zheng out of the secret room.

Ying Zheng looked at the nine big stone pillars on the other side, leaned over to Ji Fa's side and asked, "Master, you went around left and right before, but what mechanism was you trying to dodge?"

Ji Fa shook his head and said, "There is no mechanism there, the old man is just listening to the sound of mercury."

Ying Zheng: "......"

It's a shame that I don't even have the same pace and footprints as you, and I thought I had encountered some kind of mechanism!

"Before, we activated the airflow system and drained the toxic mist, and the mercury pool was also activated, so we need to confirm whether the mercury system is working properly." Ji Fa explained.

I see.

"Is the mercury system working properly?" Ying Zheng asked.

"It's okay, it looks like it's not aging yet." Ji Fa said.

"So, Master is going around left and right, just to find out if the passage of each mercury is normal?" Ying Zheng asked again.

"Not so." Ji Fa smiled and said, "You think the old man is hiding from something."

Ying Zheng grinned and nodded.

"You think this is a formation, how can it be so dangerous." Ji Fa grumbled, "Do you see this place, it looks like there is a trap or a place where you can cast some hidden weapons?"

Ying Zheng looked around for a week and said, "It's really not like it, if there are those organs here, it won't mess up this main tomb."

"Indeed." Ji Fa nodded and said, "The organs that should be arranged have already been arranged outside, and if you are not from our Tianyin, you can't get in at all."

"That is, even if it is us, it has taken so much work, if outsiders are outsiders, how can they be alive to come here." Ying Zheng looked at the boulders on both sides

Zhu, and then asked, "Master, this row of stone pillars,

Is it full of mercury?"

"Yes, both." Ji Fa said, "But this is only one of the functions of these stone pillars, in addition to bearing weight, this stone pillar mainly has a meaning."

"Meaning?" Ying Zheng asked curiously, "What does it mean?"

"Don't you see that there are nine pillars in each of these groups?" Ji Fa said.

"I got the idea a long time ago." Ying Zheng said, "Nine, this number is really our auspicious number, could it be that it is also related to Jiuding?"

"It's not just related to Jiuding, it's also related to the nine Heavenly Eyes, and related to the nine guardian beasts." Ji Fa explained, "The stone pillars all represent a different category, and the so-called "respect" comes from this."

"It's like this...... Ying Zheng suddenly realized that this represents the origin of the title of the Chinese emperor, and it is actually the stone pillar in front of him.

"Master, when I passed through the three stone gates just now, I wanted to ask, how did that passage give me a very familiar feeling, like, just like ......" Ying Zheng stood up.

"Like what?" Ji Fa asked.

"It's like the feeling of coming from the Nine Heavens to the Nine Shadows after passing through the blue and red streams." Ying Zheng said.

"Hehe, you're right." Ji Fa said with a smile, "From the outside to the core of the royal tomb, this is originally a process of passing through life and death, which also means that the deceased and the present world have been divided into two different worlds from now on."

"Didn't the old man tell you before, the folk have a saying of eighteen layers of hell, and this statement is based on the barrier between the Nine Heavens and the Nine Shadows."

Ying Zheng nodded thoughtfully and said, "What about this high platform, is there anything else to say?"

"It's gone." Ji Fa said, "This high platform was designed by Taigong himself, and the crystal sarcophagus inside was also supervised by Taigong himself."

"Sarcophagus?" Ying Zheng muttered with some confusion.

"Hmm." Ji Fa said, "The crystal sarcophagus is made of crystal dense stones, supplemented by a more special process, and the human corpse can be incorruptible for thousands of years."

Ying Zheng's eyes were about to fall out: "A thousand years of immortality?! Isn't that the prince still the same now?"

"It should be." "But it doesn't matter anymore, because we can't open it, and if we open it outside, the bones inside will be wiped out in no time."

"Why is that?" Ying Zheng asked inexplicably.

Ji Fa gestured with both hands and said, "In a confined space, if you want to ensure that the things stored inside do not rot, the first thing to do is to pump the air inside clean and let a vacuum form inside."

"In this way, the bacteria inside will not survive, and the dust will have nowhere to hide, and then with the help of some auxiliary materials and medicines, the state of the corpse inside can be maintained for a long time."

The concept of the fungus, Ying Zheng once heard Li Si talk about, it is invisible to the naked eye, tiny creatures that exist in all corners of the world, can corrode all living things, and are also members of the egg family.

In a way, the thallus is the top of the food chain.

"It's a pity that I can't see Taigong with my own eyes." Ying Zheng said with a little regret.

"If only you had this heart." Ji Fa patted Yingzheng on the shoulder and said softly, "Let's go up."

"Hmm!" Ying Zheng responded and went to the high platform with Ji Fa.

The steps of this high platform are also made of dense stones, black and white, and give people a feeling of Taijitu.

The stone railings on both sides seem to be finely carved, but Ying Zheng has no heart to appreciate it, and his eyes are looking ahead, looking forward to the appearance of the crystal sarcophagus.

Finally, a coffin made of crystal dense stone appeared in front of him, the whole was dark red, and the surface was crystal clear, which looked extremely noble and elegant.

Ying Zheng's eyes flashed, he knelt on the ground with a pop, bowed his head in the most respectful manner, and didn't get up for a long time.
