Lord of the Earth

Chapter 187 Harvest, the second jade-white rare item!

"Zilong, could you please hold the lamp and lead the way..."

Xia Tian handed the ever-bright lamp to Zhao Yun. This lamp has the ability to "exorcise evil spirits" and is very useful in this mausoleum.

In addition, Zhao Yun possesses 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 craftsmen was real. The original most troublesome mechanism did not become an obstacle to everyone. Even those "mercury guards" did not appear again after they retreated!
As a result, everyone moved forward smoothly. After walking 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 no different from real people, wearing strong armor and armed with sharp weapons, and made of clay.

This look is not unfamiliar at all to people in the Summer Territory.

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 "Eternal Light" light.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...

The three standing and three kneeling crossbowmen suddenly raised the Qin crossbows in their hands and shot arrows shrouded in spiritual power in the direction of Zhao Yun, which were as fast as 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" emerged from Zhao Yun's body, and was unharmed by the attacks of these crossbow arrows!

He even bounced the crossbow arrows 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 prove the power of these crossbow arrows!
"The strength of these terracotta warriors and horses..."

Xia Tian's eyes moved and locked on a soldier.

【Terracotta Warriors (White)】

【Level】The fifth level of metamorphosis

[Characteristics] Military merit upgrade (increase in level based on the military merit accumulated in battles), spirit inclusion (can accommodate residual spirits, and improve skills based on 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 metamorphosis!"

Even Xia Tian's eyes were fixed.

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 [-]!
"If such a power really comes to the Eternal Land... it will be enough to attack all the so-called advanced alien races within thousands of miles, and recreate the grand scene of the Great Qin army conquering Baiyue in the south and attacking the Xiongnu in the north, sweeping away the alien races, right?"

"Moreover, this secret realm does not only contain the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang, but nearly [-] emperors' tombs."

"Even if the other tombs are not as well-known as the Terracotta Warriors and Horses, and the 'tomb-guarding creatures' evolved inside cannot reach this level, they will not be 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 inferior creatures and food!
"It is very possible 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, and the destiny they gather has not been completely converted into resources and rare objects at present..."

While Xia Tian was thinking, his eyes looked at the soldiers blocking the road.

"Ten terracotta warriors who have transformed five times. At this stage, I am afraid that except for the major territories, few other human forces can deal with it..."

Of course, Xia Tian's own territory is completely enough to deal with it, and he doesn't even need to take action. With Zhao Yun's strength that has already completed six transformations, one person's action is enough to deal with these terracotta warriors!
"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 people can indeed cope with it, but after the war begins, the entire terracotta warriors and horses in the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang will be alarmed. If they gather together, I am afraid there will be only one way out!
"Zilong, please retreat within the range of my spiritual power..."

Xia Tian thought of something suddenly.

said in the 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 with the "remaining spirits" of the soldiers who died in battle.

Because of this, their attack and fighting methods appear relatively dull.For example, only attacking targets that are within the range of the ever-bright lamp is like operating according to a certain "program"!
That being the 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 made no move to attack!
"It actually worked. It seems that the retreat of the 'Mercury Ling Guards' was no accident!"

There was some surprise on Xia Tian's face.

Then everyone was asked to continue moving 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 writing, 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 know, in ancient times, any book was extremely precious, especially before the invention of printing, which could only be copied manually, which was a huge undertaking.

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"...

"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... "Tao" "Book of Songs" is a Taoist classic... "Poetry", "Spring and Autumn", and "Le Jing" are the lost classics of our Confucian school!"

Even Zhuge Liang looked 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, such as Confucianism, Legalism, Taoism, Mohism, Yin and Yang, farmers, novelists, military strategists, doctors...

The collision of thinking among 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. The miracle doctor Bian Que gave his eyes the ability to see through taking a prescription, and the Taoist alchemist was able to refine the legendary "Elixir of Immortality"... …

Does this seem a bit "familiar" to modern people?
"In the pre-Qin era thousands of years ago, did certain technologies really reach such a level? Are the legends too exaggerated? Or maybe they were not based on 'technology'..."

Xia Tian looked at the names of these books in front of him, and his heart was full of curiosity at the moment.

"These classics seem to contain many cultivation techniques, and even techniques such as elixir refining and weapon refining. Do they really exist 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 earth may not be completely "fiction."

So, is there some truth in the legends of various schools of thought?

Can you 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!"

After Zhuge Liang quickly looked through the bamboo slips and animal skins, he held a feather fan and said.

In the 34th 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 the people from slandering the government with their private knowledge!
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 put to death. of genocide.

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 could not be sure.

But one thing is certain, these books are definitely treasures or even unique copies. For people from hundreds of schools of thought, as well as literati of later dynasties, their ability to attract is definitely no worse than those of martial arts practitioners for those who practice martial arts!

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 for 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 chamber", 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 took the second "everlasting lamp" 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 place in the passage, you can explore it first..."

Of course, considering that other people might also rely on Feng Shui, or strange objects, treasures, etc., to discover the specialness of the First Emperor's Mausoleum, the team just followed the route and did not deliberately search for it.

And when we were almost approaching the main tomb chamber, we saw the third "everlasting lamp" 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 guard force.

But compared to the tomb they saw now, it was absolutely nothing.

Because there are hundreds of terracotta warriors and horses near the tomb, and their auras also have five levels of transformation!

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 will probably have to fail when faced with this level.

"Stand near me, don't be too far away!"

Fortunately, the "Human Emperor's Dragon Control Sutra" running on Xia Tian's body took effect as before. There were hundreds of terracotta warriors who were full of aura, but the soldiers did not attack a group of people!

And Xia Tian finally saw clearly what was in this tomb.

There were all kinds of bronze utensils that seemed to be 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 tael'!"

Zhuge Liang held a feather fan in his right hand and placed it on his chest, while in his left hand he picked up a bronze coin and placed it in his 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 coins of the Six Kingdoms, leaving only two currencies... Among them, gold was the top coin, and the coins cast by the Qin State were Copper coins are 'down coins'!"

"This kind of copper coin adopts the pattern of 'circle on the outside and square on the inside'. It is raised to the round sky to align with the three lights; it is lowered to the ground to align with the four seasons. Li Si, the prime minister at the time, used 'small seal script' to inscribe on it."

Then, he said to Xia Tian.

Li Si, as the prime minister of Qin, undoubtedly had an extraordinary status in history.

Although he was regarded as 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 it has to be said 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 holds the responsibilities of prime minister, he is very positive about Li Si's personal ability, excluding his character.

"Coins seem to be of no 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 for the past two days, and then asked Mrs. Pan to see if she can Give someone a kiss..."

in the team.

Da Niu shook his head and said in a loud 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.

It is quite happy for ordinary territory residents, 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 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.

It shows that these are at least the materials of the transcendental level, and they are even extremely high-quality and high-quality spiritual gold that can be used to create "spiritual weapons"!

"If the people in 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 tools'..."

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. Use it to arrange simple Feng Shui arrays, which can further enhance the intensity of spiritual power in a small area."

"In addition, copper coins can release the earthy atmosphere of two blacks and five yellows, and have a strong effect of dispelling evil spirits and expelling 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, copper coins are mostly issued by the imperial court and contain their own It represents a certain destiny of the country and the people, so it has the three talents.”

"From a Feng Shui perspective, the more powerful a dynasty is, the more valuable its coins are and the more Feng Shui power they can carry. If they are collected and refined into Feng Shui instruments such as the 'Copper Coin Sword', It can also control the house, ward off evil spirits, and has the power to exorcise demons and demons..."

It turned out to be the case.

Combined with Huang Rong's words, Xia Tian finally understood why Taoist priests often used 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..."

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.

"Hey, what is this?"

While carrying the copper coins, Daniel discovered two things submerged in the pile of coins.

One is placed vertically, like an upright black bird, with a pair of metal utensils with its head raised high. 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."

Zhuge Liang is indeed 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 equipment used to mint coins has undergone strange changes. Could it be that..."

Xia Tian's heart moved, and the "Eye of Insight" opened to look towards him.

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】Wonderful Object

[Characteristics] Make coins (you can create coins with different characteristics by adding various materials, and you can design the appearance according to your own wishes), condense luck (the coins you cast will have a steady stream of territories during the circulation process The ability to gain luck)
