Chapter 349

Jiuzhou Ding

In the evening, the entire clan held a grand celebration program, and everyone sang and danced.

Hong Tianbao's eyes remained on a large tripod. This tripod was dull and looked ordinary, but if you carefully understand it, you will find that the tripod is simple and generous, and looks extremely vicissitudes. Hong Tianbao frowned slightly, and looked at the ancient tripod in front of him, and his spiritual sense had already explored it.

"Hey! There is actually a layer of bronze shell?" Hong Tianbao was surprised, and then his spiritual sense continued to thrust forward. Through a layer of bronze, he was shocked to find the situation inside.

"Jiuzhou Cauldron? How could it be the Jiuzhou Cauldron?" Hong Tianbao discovered that the appearance of the real big tripod was a real scene, very grand and dense, all of which were famous rivers and mountains, beautiful objects and strange things. And the grand picture in front of him was the ancient Jingzhou, so this was undoubtedly the Jingzhou Cauldron.

Luobao money sneered at it. It told Hong Tianbao that this was not the real Jiuzhou Cauldron, but was later formed on the earth, just a copy, and it was a manifestation. The real Jiuzhou Cauldron was still in the prehistoric land, suppressing the fortune of the human race.

Hong Tianbao was not disappointed, and the real Jiuzhou Ding himself was not expected. Although this Jiuzhou Ding is just a copy, it was enough to cause shock when placed outside. You must know that Jiuzhou Ding has been lost for thousands of years.

"Tianbao, why are you stunned? Just a big cauldron, nothing is good to look at." The leader of the Wu clan was in a very good mood today and wanted to have a few drinks with Hong Tianbao. The wine was carefully brewed by the Wu clan. The Wu clan was originally a greedy person, so he has made wine in all generations. Not to mention the good wines that lasted 100 years, even more than 300 years of age, there were many, which made Sun Moba and others open their chests and drink.

"Captain Wu, your big cauldron is not simple!" Hong Tianbao stepped forward and touched the cauldron body and said.

When Tang Xin and Ye Jianzhong heard this, they all came together.

"It's not simple? I can't tell. Although it's very old, the casting technique is too rough and not very valuable." Tang Xin said, and Ye Jianzhong nodded.

The leader of the Wu clan nodded without denying it. Although this large cauldron weighs thousands of pounds, it is not exquisite in its practice. There are many large cauldrons in the clan. Which one is better than this one?

"Haha! Look, is the appearance layer different from the inner wall of the cauldron? And the materials are also very different." Hong Tianbao pointed to the two places and said.

When the others saw it, they all frowned secretly

Although the leader of the Wu clan did not involve antiques, he still had eyesight. He didn't pay much attention before, but now he was pointed out by Hong Tianbao and immediately discovered something. Ye Jianzhong and Tang Xin were both people among antiques, so it is not difficult to see.

"Is this big tripod's true face covered?" Ye Jianzhong was a little excited.

"Captain Wu, since this big cauldron is of no use to you, I will try to remove the layer of bronze outside, right?" Hong Tianbao turned to Captain Wu.

The leader of the Witch nodded: "If you like Tianbao, just take it away. Not to mention this big tripod, the Divine Witch Village cannot move except the temple, and these things can be moved at will." The leader of the Witch did not care at all. Even if the big tripod was made of gold, he would not blink. These external things had no effect on him, or on their Witch Tribe.

Upon hearing this, Hong Tianbao took out the flying sword and quickly cut a few swords. In almost the blink of an eye, the outer skin was accurately cut open. Hong Tianbao put away the flying sword and slapped the big cauldron with force. All the bronze remaining on the big cauldron fell down.

A new-looking cauldron appeared in front of everyone. Ye Jianzhong and Tang Xin exclaimed in shock, and their eyes could not be removed. The appearance of the cauldron was densely filled with patterns, and these patterns would still change, showing the scenic spots of various places in front of everyone.

"The Jingzhou Ding among the Jiuzhou Ding?" Ye Jianzhong's eyes widened, his tone a little unbelievable.

The Jiuzhou tripod was cast during the Yu period of the Xia Dynasty in my country. It has nine exquisite, simple and elegant bronze tripods, which reflect the concentration and supremacy of the royal power, and reflect the unity of the country and the prosperity of the nation. For thousands of years, it has been regarded as a national treasure passed down by the Chinese nation.

In terms of arts and essays, it is a rare set of works. From the perspective of cultural archaeology, it is a concentrated representative of my country's Bronze Age. From the perspective of casting technology, it marks that China's history has ended the era of barbarism and entered the era of civilization.

It is regrettable that although information about the Nine Tripods is endless in history, it has long since disappeared more than 2,000 years ago.

In "Zuo Zhuan of the Spring and Autumn Period", it talks about the casting of the Nine Cauldrons: In the early years of the Xia Dynasty, the court divided the world into the nine provinces, and the states established state patriarchs. The Xia Dynasty ordered the nine provinces to contribute bronze to cast nine cauldrons. In advance, people were sent to draw famous mountains, rivers, beautiful places, and strange objects in the states across the country into pictures, and then selected famous craftsmen imitated these paintings on the body of the nine cauldrons, symbolizing a state with one cauldron. The engraved figures also reflect the shape of the mountains, rivers and scenic spots in the state.

The Nine Tripods symbolize the Nine Provinces, reflecting the unification of the country and the high concentration of royal power, showing that the King of Xia has become the common ruler of the world and conforms to the "destiny of heaven". As the saying goes: "All the kings under the sky are kings, and all the kings and ministers are kings." From then on, the Nine Provinces became synonymous with China, "determining the tripod" and became synonymous with the establishment of national regimes.

In 606 BC, King Zhuang of Chu, one of the five hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period, was rectifying internal affairs, promoting water conservancy, and implementing strict reforms. The country was rich and strong, and launched troops to attack Luhun's Rong and approaching the suburbs of Luoyi. King Ding of Zhou was forced to send people to hold a ceremony to comfort and welcome him. King Zhuang's "competition for the big and important" showed his ambition to destroy Zhou. From then on, later generations would fight for power, calling it "competition for the Central Plains". "Coming for the Central Plains" also came from here. Since then, the whereabouts of the nine tripods have been discussed in various ways.

This shows the importance of the Jiuzhou tripod.

"It's undoubtedly Jingzhou tripod. I didn't expect that the legend of Jiuzhou tripod is also true. I really don't know how the ancients cast it, but the patterns on the outside can actually change. I feel that the body of the tripod is the screen, and the movie is playing on it." Tang Xin was shocked.

"Haha! I think there should be a layer of unknown substance on it, which should be a kind of metal that can preserve the scene and show it." Hong Tianbao smiled and expressed his point.

When the others heard this, they thought this might be the biggest, so they nodded.

"This big cauldron is back, hehe! Those old guys probably have insomnia again. You guys have practiced your skills to the point of being able to practice, right? Why are these thief eyes so powerful?" Ye Jianzhong quipped.

Hong Tianbao shrugged his shoulders and said undeniably: "Cultivation can indeed make people's facial features sharper. You will know if you ask the little witch."

"Well! It looks OK, forget it, no matter whether it is the Jiuzhou Cauldron or not. Tianbao, you should be better than it to refine any magic weapon. What's so strange about it? Let's go out and have a few drinks." Although the leader of the Wu tribe saw that the Jiuzhou Cauldron was a little magical, he still didn't take it seriously.

Tang Xin and Ye Jianzhong's mouth twitched. If the old guys outside heard this, they would definitely fight to the old man.

There are too many legends about the Jiuzhou tripod. It has existed since the establishment of Chinese civilization. It has been a magical artifact for the three dynasties of Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties for nearly two thousand years since then.

There is a legend that the nature is divided into nine layers, and there are nine provinces. It was 39 years old. From the nine-top Xuannv Peak in the Xingsu Sea in the West Kunlun Sea, it has been opened for 100,000 years. It will reach the Ziqing Crystal Mine thousands of miles below the East Cang Sea in the West, and then the Tianwai Miles. When it was established before the Xia Dynasty, there was an extremely famous sword-casting family called Tuoqi. It is said that the first generation of the family's head was the one who created the legendary second magic sword Yuntian. Later, Qi Wei Yonggu Tianxia decided to ask the descendants of the Tuoqi family to cast the Nine Cauldrons of the Earth for it. When they were abolished, they added countless crystal ores and spiritual energy. It is said that each cauldron was injected into the soul of the ancient Great Wilderness divine beast. After the local nine cauldrons were formed

Qi placed them separately in the nine states of the earth, meaning that the world is summer and will remain unchanged... In the third year after this, he happened to encounter the great catastrophe of the heavenly demons once every 100,000 years. In a critical moment, Qi decided to use the God Refining Cauldron to save the people of the world. The nine cauldrons of the earth refining and fuse them together. Then the nine cauldrons were united, sealing the soul of the heavenly demons on the top of the Buzhou Mountain, and being sent to guard by the Cangmu Shenlong for generations... As for the changes in the dynasty in the next thousand years, the whereabouts of the nine cauldrons, there is a big secret in this. In the long river of history, the nine cauldrons have dominated the changes in the world. That is, the changes in all dynasties in the world cannot exceed a thousand years. The secret here is connected to a legend...

Although this story is wonderful, everyone only regards it as a story and is not recognized by everyone.

What was accepted by the public was the story of the Nine Cauldrons of King Yu. According to legend, in the first year of Xia, Emperor Yu divided the nine parts of the world into nine states, and established state patriarchs, cast nine tripods, and assigned craftsmen from all over the world to carve the representative landscape drawings of nine states on it. Each tripod represents a state, and each tripod controls the fortune of one state. Later, the tripod became a symbol of the emperor's power.

This is also the reason why the dynasties later worked tirelessly to find the Jiuzhou tripod. Its existence is more important than the national jade seal carved by the Heshi Bi in the legend, and its influence is more profound. It is a symbol of the cohesion of the Chinese nation.

Hong Tianbao was in a good mood when he found the Jingzhou Ding. He dared to guarantee that once the Jingzhou Ding was released, it would definitely be more shocking than all the previous ones.

In fact, Chinese civilization has been around for thousands of years, and countless weapons have appeared in it. Each of them has its own unique features, but almost nothing has been passed down, and all of them have mysteriously disappeared.

Ye Jianzhong and Tang Xin also knew that this cauldron would definitely be taken out by Hong Tianbao, so they were not afraid of it running away. They went out to eat and drink with Hong Tianbao and the leader of the Witch.

The next day, Hong Tianbao and others did not stay for long and were about to leave Shenwu Village. Dawa naturally had to stay. Yesterday, Hong Tianbao had already used a satellite phone to ask Dawa to explain the story to her family. Ye Jianzhong was also happy to be idle and did not have to send Dawa back.

Dawa was still confused. She was reluctant to leave Hong Tianbao and others. Moreover, it was inevitable that she would be anxious after leaving her family for so long. The leader of the Wu clan simply asked someone to move the Taxi family over, so that his disciples would not be able to calm down and practice.
