Chapter 564: A New World Pattern
Although modern technology has freed the ancient kiln from the limitations of the leyline, this legend has been passed down in Jingdezhen.
"Ancient Kiln Shenhuo, it seems that you should go to Jingdezhen to have a look!" Li Tong muttered to himself.
Half a month later, Li Tong took He Yanbing to walk on the streets of Jingdezhen, even though the streets are filled with a taste of porcelain beauty, the porcelain here is colorful, like a girl in the south of the Yangtze River as green and lovely.
"Boss, where are we going?" He Yanbing held a sugar gourd in one hand and a skewer in the other hand to eat as he walked, and did not forget to give Li Tong a few.
They have been in Jingdezhen for three days, and they have spent three days looking at porcelain in addition to looking at porcelain. For this kind of bottles and cans, He Yanbing is not interested in it at all, anyway, no matter how you look at it, it is something that wants to eat, drink or be respectful. It's not as good as the skewers in your hand.
Li Tong took the skewers and said with a light smile: "I'm looking for the oldest ancient cave in Jingdezhen, but at present, there is not much hope!"
"Hey...... What else are you looking for, isn't it just a broken cave, say it earlier!" He Yanbing took all the skewers in his hand into his mouth, threw the bamboo skewers into the trash can, clapped his hands and said: "Boss, the oldest cave in Jingdezhen should be the official kiln." In the case of private kilns, they are generally not stored for too long. There is only an official kiln, and the kiln is exquisite, whether it is the terrain or the veins, it is very exquisite!"
Hearing this, Li Tong's eyes suddenly lit up, and he motioned to He Yanbing to continue.
He Yanbing smiled, glanced around and said: "Yes, this place should be an ancient civilian area, there are more private kilns here, as for the official kiln, let's go to those local old people and see if they know where the official kiln was located before." ”
"Well, I didn't expect to bring your kid this time, and I really brought it right!" Li Tong praised, and then left the hotel with He Yanbing.
There are many official kilns in Jingdezhen, and all dynasties have the experience of opening official kilns here. But most of them have been lost to history.
Some of the existing ruins can only be traced back to the Ming Dynasty.
There are four famous official kilns in the Ming Dynasty: Hongwu kiln, Yongle kiln, Xuande kiln, and Chenghua kiln. The last three caves had collapsed as early as the Qing Dynasty. Now only the ruins of the Hongwu kiln can be found.
Hearing this, Li Tong was suddenly unhappy, but it was already good luck to be able to find one.
Drove more than ten miles to Jingdezhen Zhushan, when the Hongwu kiln was established in Zhushan District, under the leadership of the local guide, Li Tong and the two soon came to the site of the ancient kiln.
My heart suddenly cooled half, where is this still a ruin, this is a big cave.
The guide was not bad, and told Li Tong and the two that this is the place where the royal official kiln Hongwu kiln uses the fire of the leylines to make porcelain, but I don't know what's wrong, after Hongwu, the fire of the leylines gradually dried up, and after hundreds of years, there was no trace of the fire of the leylines at all.
This also caused panic among the residents of Jingdezhen, but fortunately, in the past thousand years, they have also figured out how to burn porcelain with mortal fire.
It can be regarded as a complete abandonment of the leyline fire.
After sending the guide away, Li Tong opened the Pure Land and let He Yanbing return to the Pure Land. He was sure that this was definitely the gateway to the leylines. It hasn't been opened for hundreds of years, and God knows what weird things will be.
He didn't want He Yanbing to take the risk.
"The Divine Fire has not been extinguished for thousands of years, but there is no trace of the Divine Fire after Hongwu, I think it should be lurking!" Li Tong said to himself.
Divine fire has spirits, and it can evolve actively. It helped the people of Jingdezhen to fire out smart porcelain, thus making Jingdezhen famous all over the world.
But he is also quietly strengthening his power with the help of the worship and faith of these people.
Li Tong could feel that in the depths of this cave, a flame was slowly jumping, and the incinerator was also trembling slightly, as if it had found something that attracted it.
Taking a deep breath, Li Tong stepped directly into the cave.
The cave is wide and winding, but it is unusually dry, which is probably because of the long-lasting smoke of the leyline fire, which makes the mountain walls here crystal clear.
Like the enamel on porcelain.
"Ancient Kiln Divine Fire!I'm here!" Li Tong held a pocket-sized version of the golden oven in his hand, and the oven trembled slightly, as if he was excited.
As Li Tong went deeper into the cave, the temperature under the ground became higher and higher. Fortunately, Li Tong is a cultivator, if ordinary people come here, they will definitely die of thirst if they don't drink water for a day.
Airplanes......
There were sounds from the depths of the cave, as if the spirits of the dead were crying, or ghosts were shouting. In the thousand-year-old kiln, countless craftsmen have died, but all the craftsmen who died here are estimated to have been thrown into the oven.
More than 70 meters underground, Li Tong obviously felt that there was something abnormal here, this was a huge stalactite cave, and the stalactites had already been folded clean, leaving only a huge copper tripod.
The copper tripod is three-legged and round on the outside and square on the inside, representing the saying that the sky is round and the place is round. In ancient times, all major events must be established to tell the heavens. But the cave here is a bit surprising.
Could it be that it is to suppress something?
Li Tong searched for it, and according to the guide's meaning, since the Hongwu New Year, the fire of the leylines has been decreasing day by day, as if there is a force that has extinguished it.
And this sudden appearance of the Great Ding is not to suppress the fire of the leylines here?
Li Tong walked around the huge copper tripod, and there were some small characters engraved on the wall. Li Tong browsed all the way and found that this tripod was indeed used to suppress something.
During the Hongwu period, the drought was born, causing 3,000 miles of red land, and the people were not able to make a living. The emperor prayed to the heavens, set up three bronze tripods, and suppressed the underground drought rebellion in Jingdezhen.
This tripod, a total of three, was suppressed at different locations in the ancient kiln, directly cutting off the underground and aboveground passages. But Hongwuguan kiln was also lonely because of this.
Li Tong pinched his chin and stared at those words, what was recorded on this big tripod made Li Tong a little uncertain.
"In those solitary books, the leylines below Jingdezhen are the veins of divine fire, which is the most suitable for smelting porcelain, but the records above this giant tripod say that there are drought lurking underneath this Jingdezhen. Which one is true?" Li Tong searched for a long time, but there was no answer.
"Pipiru, can the mall system scan the situation underground?" Li Tong asked in his heart.
"Didi...... Master, this place is covered by a locked dragon array, and the system can't scan the situation below!" Pipiru's words made Li Tong embarrassed for a while, could it be that he really wanted to open this big array?
But if it is really a drought that is suppressed, then the entire Jingdezhen will turn into a sea of fire in an instant. This price is too great for Li Tong to afford.
But if the entire leyline is included in the Pure Land, with his current strength, I am afraid that he will be directly burned by the divine fire, and the Pure Land will also be damaged.
"Pipiru, is there a way to enter it without destroying the big array?" Li Tong was unwilling to go back like this, and finally found the exact place, and retreated without making any contributions, which was a shame.
