Chapter 187 Harvest, the second jade-white rare item!
"Zilong, could you please lead the way with the lamp..."
Xia Tian handed the ever-bright lamp to Zhao Yun. This lamp has the ability to "exorcise evil spirits", which is perfect in this mausoleum. Come in handy.
In addition, Zhao Yun has the "power of gentian" to protect his body, even if there are problems with the mechanisms and routes indicated on the map left by the craftsman.
Or, the "mercury mausoleum guard" flowing into the depths of the mausoleum can make a surprise attack, which is enough to deal with it calmly.
However, it turned out that Xia Tian was overly worried. The map left by the craftsman was true. The original most troublesome mechanism did not become an obstacle to everyone. Even those "mercury guards" did not appear again after retreating!
As a result, everyone moved forward smoothly. After walking for about a few hundred meters, a "ever-lasting light" appeared in their field of vision again.
However, this time the ever-burning lamp is not on the wall of the passage, but in a "tomb" next to the passage.
And at the entrance of the tomb, there were some tall and mighty soldiers of the Qin Dynasty, whose figures were the same as real people. They were clad in armor and armed with sharp swords, and were made of clay.
For people in the Summer Territory, this look is not unfamiliar at all.
This is a whole team of terracotta warriors and horses, six crossbowmen, two halberdiers, two swordsmen...
And when Zhao Yun's figure appeared at the edge of the light of the "Eternal Light".
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...
Three standing and three kneeling crossbowmen raised the Qin crossbows in their hands and shot out a series of shrouds in the direction of Zhao Yun. The speed of arrows in spiritual power is comparable to that of sniper bullets!
“Ding, ding, ding…”
The passage space was so small that even Zhao Yun had no time to completely avoid it.
However, the white light representing the "power of gentian" on Zhao Yun's body emerged, and he was unharmed by the attacks of these crossbow arrows!
Even the crossbow arrows were bounced away.
However, the flying crossbow arrows also created trenches several meters long when they hit the ground, and some even penetrated into the hard stone passage floors and walls, which is enough to illustrate the strength of these crossbow arrows. Very powerful!
“The strength of these terracotta warriors and horses...”
Xia Tian's eyes moved and locked on a soldier.
[Terracotta Warriors and Horses (White)]
[Level] Fifth level of transformation
[Characteristics] Military merit upgrade (increase in level based on military merit accumulated in battles), Na Spirit (can accommodate residual spirits, and improve skills according to the accommodated residual spirits)
[Skills] Crossbow Skills (Proficient), Great Qin Military Skills (Proficient)
[Explanation] A terracotta warrior with huge spiritual power comparable to a "spiritual weapon" can exert a more powerful combat effectiveness after containing a certain strength of "remnant spirits".
“Fifth level of mortal transformation!”
Even Xia Tian’s eyes were condensed.
He also has "terracotta warriors and horses" in his territory, but even after the baptism of several wars, the combat effectiveness of the most powerful terracotta warriors and horses is only equivalent to completing "three transformations"!
But these terracotta warriors and horses are equivalent to five transformations, comparable to advanced alien races!
And if Xia Tian remembers correctly, the number of terracotta warriors and horses that were excavated on the earth alone was more than 8,000!
“Such a power, if it really comes to the Land of Eternity... is enough to attack all the so-called advanced alien races within thousands of miles, recreating the time when the Great Qin army conquered Baiyue in the south, attacked the Xiongnu in the north, and swept away the alien races. A grand occasion, right?”
“Moreover, this secret place contains not only the Mausoleum of the First Emperor of Qin, but nearly five hundred imperial tombs.”
“Even if the other tombs are not as famous as the Terracotta Warriors and Horses, The 'tomb-guarding creatures' evolved internally cannot reach this level, nor are they too weak!"
Xia Tian vaguely understood why this "human race secret realm" could not arrive at the current stage.
Because, if it really comes.
Then it’s not the humans on Earth who should be afraid.
Rather, it is the various alien races that regard humans as lower creatures and food!
"It is very likely that the will of the 'Eternal Land' does not allow it to be directly integrated. Just like the secret realms of those high-level alien races, the destiny they gather has not been completely turned into resources and magic at present. Things are the same..."
While thinking, Xia Tian looked at the soldiers blocking the road.
"Ten terracotta warriors who have transformed five times. At the current stage, except for the major territories, I am afraid that few other human forces can deal with it..."
Of course, Xia Tian's own territory is completely enough to deal with it, and he does not even need him. Take action, with Zhao Yun's strength that has completed six transformations, one person can take action to kill these terracotta warriors and horses!
"It's just that these terracotta warriors and horses may belong to the 'heritage' of our human race. Wouldn't it be a waste to destroy them?"
And only ten of them can indeed deal with it, but after the war begins , the entire terracotta warriors and horses in Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum were alarmed. If they gathered together, I'm afraid there would be only one way out!
"Zilong, please retreat within the scope of my spiritual power..."
Xia Tian suddenly thought of something.
said in his mouth.
Through the information provided by the Eye of Insight, Xia Tian discovered that these terracotta warriors and horses were "dead objects" and were not like the terracotta warriors and horses in the territory that were integrated into the "remaining spirits" of the soldiers who died in battle.
For this reason, their attack and fighting methods appear relatively dull. For example, only attacking targets within the range of the ever-bright lamp is like operating according to a certain "program"!
In that case. Maybe, you can give it a try...
Xia Tian ran the "Human Emperor Yulong Sutra", and the majestic spiritual power escaped, covering the entire exploration team.
Then, let a trapped soldier hold a shield and step forward into the range of the "Eternal Light". The ten terracotta soldiers on the opposite side also made no move to attack!
"It actually worked. It seems that the retreat of the 'Mercury Ling Guards' was not an accident!"
Xia Tian had some surprises on his face.
Then everyone continued to move forward and entered the tomb where the "Eternal Light" was located.
This is a huge tomb that covers an extremely large area, comparable to a playground.
Under the light, you can see a large number of bamboo slips filled with writings, animal skins with writings on them, and even some objects similar to oracle bone inscriptions... all thrown on the ground very casually!
“These seem to be some books?”
Zhuge Liang frowned slightly.
You must know that in ancient times, any book was extremely precious, especially before the invention of printing, which could only be copied manually, which was a huge project.
These books were randomly thrown on the ground, piled up in a mess, and seemed to have little value. However, when everyone looked at the contents of the books, their expressions became a little surprised!
"Tao Jing", "Organ List", "Dan Jing", "Lianshan Yi", "Haoran Ce", "Poetry", "Spring and Autumn", "Le Jing"...
< br>"These classics seem to be the books of the 'hundred schools of thought' before the 'Pre-Qin'... This "Lianshan Yi" belongs to the category of the Yin and Yang family... This "List of Mechanisms" should be the Mohist Mechanism Technique... The "Tao Jing" is a classic of Taoism... "Poetry", "Spring and Autumn", and "The Book of Music" are the lost classics of our Confucian school!"
Even Zhuge Liang's expression was very surprised.
Pre-Qin era.
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, various schools of thought contended.
There is no doubt that this is the era with the most academic freedom in the entire human history and the emergence of the most outstanding people, including Confucianism, Legalism, Taoism, Mohism, Yin and Yang, farmers, novelists, military strategists, doctors...
The collision of thinking between hundreds of schools of thought and various academic schools led to the emergence of many mysterious and incredible things at that time.
For example, it is said that Lu Ban was able to create a wooden kite that flew in the sky for three days and three nights before falling, that the miracle doctor Bian Que gained the ability to see through his eyes by taking a prescription, and that the Taoist alchemist was able to refine the legendary "Elixir of Immortality"...
These seem a bit "familiar" to modern people?
"During the pre-Qin era thousands of years ago, did certain technologies really reach such a level? Are the legends too exaggerated? Or maybe they weren't based on 'technology'..."
Xia Tian looked at the books in front of him. Name, my heart is full of curiosity at this moment.
“These classics seem to contain many cultivation techniques, and even techniques such as alchemy and weapon refining. Are they real in history, or are they evolved by the eternal land due to the fusion of heaven and earth? ?”
At present, there are more and more signs proving that some ancient myths and legends on the earth may not be completely “fiction”.
So, is there some truth in the legends of various schools of thought?
Can we find any clues from these books?
"Sir, these should be the books that were 'burned' by the order of the First Emperor... They can be brought back to the territory and placed in the 'Langhuan Jade Pavilion' to attract talents from hundreds of schools of thought! "
Zhuge Liang said after quickly looking through the bamboo slips and animal skins, holding a feather fan.
In the thirty-fourth year of the First Emperor's reign, Chunyu Yue, a doctor from Qi, opposed the implementation of the "prefecture and county system" and demanded the restoration of the ancient "feudal system". Prime Minister Li Si refuted it and advocated burning the classics of "all the schools of thought" to prohibit people from using ancient knowledge to slander the government!
Adopted by Qin Shihuang, he ordered that in addition to "Qin Ji", medical divination, and peasant books, all scholars and other historical books should be handed over to the government for destruction within a time limit; anyone who dared to talk about "Poems" and "Books" would be executed , the genocide of those who are not the same as today.
This is the famous "book burning"!
Although whether it evolved from the fusion of heaven and earth, or whether Qin Shihuang himself deliberately kept a copy and did not completely destroy it, even Zhuge Liang cannot be sure.
But one thing is certain, these books are definitely treasures or even unique copies. For people of various schools of thought and literati of later dynasties, their attractiveness is definitely not as attractive as those of martial arts practitioners. The attraction is poor!
In fact, even Zhuge Liang, who looks calm most of the time, can't help but show excitement when seeing these books. You can know that for ancient times, especially ancient literati, "knowledge" was completely Priceless!
"Okay, as Mr. Zhuge said...take them all away, don't leave anything behind."
Xia Tian nodded in agreement.
So everyone searched everywhere, packed up all the books in the "tomb", and looted them. "Well, if my prediction is correct, in this mausoleum, the places where lights are lit should be very important areas, areas worth exploring..."
Then, He also took the second "everlasting lantern" and continued towards the main tomb chamber, leaving ten terracotta warriors and horses standing silently in the darkness.
At the same time, Xia Tian guessed in his heart.
The original "Eternal Light" lamp belongs to the entrance area of the entire imperial tomb, and this "Eternal Light" lamp is the "library".
"Whenever you see a lighted passage in the passage, you can explore it first..."
Of course, considering that other people may also rely on Feng Shui, or rare objects or treasures, After discovering the special nature of the First Emperor's Mausoleum, the team just followed the route and did not deliberately search for it.
As we were approaching the main tomb chamber, we saw the third "Eternal Light" light!
“Hey, there are so many terracotta warriors and horses...”
Looking within the light range and following the team, Daniel couldn't help but take a breath.
Just because the tomb where the "Forbidden Book" was previously hidden was guarded by a team of fifth-level terracotta warriors and horses, this was already a very powerful guarding force.
But compared to the tomb they saw now, it was absolutely insignificant.
Because there are hundreds of terracotta warriors and horses near the tomb, their auras have also undergone five transformation levels!
Such strength, in a sense, can already destroy many human territories that are not very powerful in combat.
Even if other territories pass through the "Book Collection Tomb" in front of them, they may have to fail when faced with this level.
"Stand near me, don't be too far away!"
Fortunately, the "Human Emperor Yulong Sutra" running on Xia Tian's body took effect as before, and the aura of hundreds of people was Full of terracotta warriors, the soldiers did not attack the group!
And Xia Tian finally saw clearly what was in this tomb.
Amazingly, there were all kinds of bronze utensils that seemed to have been half melted.
In addition, there is a small mountain-like pile of ancient coins in the center, made of bronze, with a circle on the outside and a square on the inside!
“This is Da Qin’s ‘half a coin’!”
Zhuge Liang held the feather fan in his right hand on his chest, and picked up a bronze coin in his left hand.
“After the First Emperor unified the world, in order to maintain his authority, in addition to ‘burning books’, he also ordered the abolition of the old currencies of the Six Kingdoms, leaving only two currencies... Among them, gold was the top currency, The copper coins minted by the Qin State are called "lower coins"! "
"This kind of copper coins adopts the pattern of "circle on the outside and square on the inside". The top is round to the sky, and the bottom is to the square. In the fourth year of Shun Dynasty, the Prime Minister Li Si used "Xiao Zhuan" to inscribe the characters on it. ”
Then, he said to Xia Tian.
Li Si, as the prime minister of Qin, undoubtedly has an extraordinary status in history.
Although he was considered a proper traitor in the eyes of many people in later generations, he colluded with Zhao Gao, tampered with the imperial edict, and killed Fusu, a prince with a very virtuous reputation and "Taizong" style.
As a result, Hu Hai succeeded to the throne and the second generation of the Qin Dynasty died.
But I have to say that Li Si assisted the First Emperor and played a great role in "unifying the world."
Whether it was changing the feudal system to a system of prefectures and counties, writing books with the same text, and chariots running on the same track, building the Great Wall to the north to resist the Huns, or unifying the currency and making coins, all these aspects have his influence!
For Zhuge Liang, who also serves as prime minister, he is very sure of Li Si's personal ability, excluding his character.
"Coins seem to be of little use? Whether they are gold or copper coins, they are of no use to us. Although my mother still prefers gold, she has been thinking about finding someone to make some gold jewelry in the past two days, and then I'm looking for Mrs. Pan to see if I can marry someone..."
among the team.
Daniu shook his head and said in a stern voice.
There is a gold mine with extremely rich reserves in the territory, so that every time Xia Tian rewards gold, it is in kilograms.
For ordinary territory residents, it is quite happy, but for people above the mortal level.
Ten pounds of gold may not be as valuable as one spiritual stone.
After all, the latter can improve your cultivation, while the former can only be used to create some daily utensils and jewelry!
However, those are the most common gold and bronze.
Even without opening the "Eye of Insight", Xia Tian could still feel that the copper vessels piled up in the mausoleum were full of spiritual energy fluctuations.
Explanation, these are at least the materials of the transcendent level, and are even extremely high-quality and high-quality spiritual gold that can be used to create "spiritual weapons"!
"If the people of the Craftsman Hall saw these 'spiritual gold' being thrown on the ground casually, I'm afraid they would be scolded for wasting natural resources..."
Xia Tian said with a smile.
“These ‘coins’ are also filled with spiritual energy and can serve as ‘feng shui devices’...”
Huang Rong also picked up a few Qin Dynasty coins from the ground and said.
“Copper can absorb and adjust the power of Feng Shui. Using it to arrange simple Feng Shui arrays can further enhance the strength of spiritual power in a small area.!”
“In addition, copper coins can release The earthy atmosphere of two blacks and five yellows has a strong effect of dispelling evil spirits and exorcising evil spirits... Copper coins are round on the outside and square on the inside. The outer circle represents the sky and the inner square represents the earth. In addition, most copper coins are issued by the imperial court, and they themselves contain a certain amount of luck for the country. It represents people, so the three talents are present.”
“From a Feng Shui perspective, the more powerful the dynasty, the more valuable its coins are and can carry more Feng Shui power. If they are collected. After sacrifice and refinement, it can be made into a feng shui weapon such as a 'copper coin sword', which can also be used to control houses, ward off evil spirits, and has the power to exorcise demons and demons..."
That's it.
Combined with Huang Rong's words, Xia Tian finally understood why Taoist priests often use copper coin swords to kill ghosts in scenes in movies and TV dramas.
"In this case, then all these 'copper coins' and materials used for casting should be transported away. If they are put to good use, they are more valuable than leaving them in this mausoleum and not seeing the light of day..."< br>
Xia Tian once again exerted the spirit of "plucking the feathers of wild geese" and directed everyone to put away all the coins and metals used to make coins in this place.
“Hey, what is this?”
While carrying the copper coins, Daniel found two things submerged in the pile of coins.
One is placed vertically, like an upright black bird, with a pair of metal utensils with raised heads. The other is placed flat, with a dragon pattern carved on the back and a metal plate with a "half two" pattern on the front.
"It seems to be a furnace for "casting coins" and a 'money mold' used for pouring coins. However, it should have undergone certain changes after being integrated into the Eternal Land."
< br>Zhuge Liang is worthy of being knowledgeable about the past and the present, and he recognized what it was at a glance.
Many dynasties in ancient times used to mint coins by using a "smelting furnace" to melt the metal, then pour it onto a template engraved with patterns, cool it and do a little processing to get copper coins!
However, generally speaking, the smelting utensils and templates are not so delicate.
For this reason, Zhuge Liang was not quite sure.
"The instrument for making coins has undergone strange changes. Could it be that..."
Xia Tian's heart moved, and the "Eye of Insight" opened and looked towards it.
Suddenly, a noble and elegant jade-white color appeared in the field of vision!
[Da Qin·Xuanniao Coin Furnace·Dragon Pattern Coin Fan (Jade White)]
[Type] Strange Object
[Characteristics] Make coins (putting in various materials can create coins with different properties, and you can design the appearance according to your own wishes), condense luck (cast coins During the circulation process, it will have the ability to continuously obtain luck for the territory)
[Explanation] The instrument used to mint coins after Qin Shihuang Yingzheng unified the world evolved into a piece of potential under the rules of heaven and earth. Huge wonder.
[Note 1] The luck collected from minted coins will also feed back to the "coin-minting device", thereby improving the grade of the coin-minting device itself.
[Note 2] The bustling world is all for the benefit of coming; the hustle and bustle of the world is for the benefit of the going.
