Chapter 171: The Wasp

Jiang Qi and the fat man groped in the dark with a flashlight, and they didn't know how many meters they walked, only to see two gates appear in front of them, and there were copper locks hanging on the doors, and the fat man was carrying a cold steel knife, and he didn't cut off the big lock with a lot of effort, and Jiang Qi looked at him with a smile on the side, and then waited until he was so tired that he almost collapsed before he stepped forward, took out the Pepsi and the key from his bag, and stabbed it gently, and the big lock was opened.

Jiang Qi secretly kept the fat man's expression in his heart, and he could laugh for a year with this expression. When the big lock was opened, the two of them opened the stone door together, but at the same time as the door opened, they suddenly felt a rapid wind blowing in front of them, and the fat man screamed and fell down, so he pulled Jiang Qi forward, and sure enough, a burst of random arrows came out.

They looked at the arrow, brushed it off the floor tiles, and made a buzzing sound, and one of the arrows almost hit Jiang Qi, if he didn't have a backpack on his back. The two of them waited until their ears could no longer hear the sound before they stood up cautiously, and saw the random arrows on the ground in front of them, and they couldn't understand why, because the arrows were like children's games, and they didn't know what they wanted to do when they sent out such arrows.

The two of them flashed in, and after the fat man went in, he raised his head and suddenly yelled that it was not good, and hurriedly pulled Jiang Qi out of the door again, Jiang Qi was pulled by him and almost fell, at this moment, a loud noise was suddenly heard in his ears, dust danced, and the sparse smoke in the dark bucket drifted, and the entire roof collapsed.

The huge masonry fell to the ground, and because they had dodged in time, only some debris passed through their arms, but at the same time as the brick roof fell, there was a rumbling sound behind them, and they turned their heads to look, but they saw a thousand pounds of stone rolling in the road, which had approached them, and crushed the arrows on the ground.

Jiang Qi and the fat man could only rush forward, and finally jumped into the gate, and the huge stone stone randomly hit the stone gate, shaking the four walls, they looked back, and couldn't help but panic, because this thing completely blocked the way.

Seeing that there was no turning back, the two of them could only walk forward, and the interior of the room they were in was also narrow and low, only slightly larger than the area of an ordinary house. Walking in was like walking into a secret room, and after a wall above the roof fell, a layer of gray-white wall was peeled off, and they erected a human wall, Jiang Qi felt that this wall looked heavy, but in fact there was a mezzanine, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed.

The two of them didn't care about thinking about anything more, and flipped the tomb wall above their heads with a crowbar, and the bricks and stones fell down and smashed into the fat man's feet, but this guy had rough skin and thick flesh, and he didn't feel pain. The two climbed up and found themselves in a large hall made of huge stones, and what they saw at a glance were nine huge tripods in the hall.

These nine big tripods lying in the center of the hall, the shapes are different, there are three-legged tripods and four-legged tripods, the texture system is different, some fold along the wide edge, the straight wall is deep belly flat bottom, some tripods are straight-eared hemisphere belly beast hoove-shaped, but each one is solemn and powerful, the lines are complicated, knock it has the sound of gold and stone, the fat man listened carefully for a while, said that this tripod is not only cast in bronze, there are definitely other materials inside, and this thing can obviously see the traces of water corrosion, so it is inferred that it has been stored in the water for a period of time, so the gold text and the tripod body on it are carved with a circle of patterns and some can not be seen clearly。

The fat man lay on the big tripod to identify the dense inscriptions, it is very strange that in addition to the text, there are strange symbols, big circles and small circles, I don't know what kind of graphics. Jiang Qi bent down and looked at it for a while, but found nothing. However, he climbed the Ding's ears and climbed to the edge of the Ding's mouth, but saw that this big Ding's mouth was actually full of clear water.

Jiang Qi felt weird, and asked the fat man to come and see, and the fat man was even more excited after seeing it, and finally said: "Do you know what kind of tripod this is-this may be the nine tripods cast by Dayu!"

When Dayu divided the world into Kyushu, so that Kyushu Prefecture contributed bronze, cast Jiuding, the famous mountains and rivers of Kyushu in the country, strange things engraved in the body of Jiuding, with a tripod symbolizing a state, and Jiuding concentrated in the capital of the Xia Dynasty, in order to show that Xia Wang Dayu became the lord of Kyushu, the world has been unified since then, until Shang Tang drove away Xia Ji, Jiuding moved to its capital. Pangeng set the capital in Yinhou, Jiuding moved here. After King Wu of Zhou destroyed the Shang, he publicly displayed Jiuding. After King Cheng of Zhou ascended the throne, Gongdan of Zhou built the city, moved the Jiuding to the city, set the Dingyi according to the wish of King Wu, and asked King Cheng to personally preside over the ceremony, and put the Jiuding in the temple.

Until Qin destroyed Zhou, the whereabouts of Ding became a mystery, some say that Qin plundered Jiuding from Yuyi into Qin, and Qin disappeared after his death, but there are also said that Qin did not get Ding at all, "Zhou De declined, Song Society died, Ding Nai fell, and he was not seen", saying that as early as when the Song Kingdom fell, Ding "sank".

However, there is another saying, the fat man said: "In the Book of Han, it is said that in the forty-second year of King Xian of Zhou, that is, in 327 BC, Jiuding sank under Surabaya. Later, when Qin Shi Huang toured south, he sent thousands of people to salvage in Surabaya, but the river was surging and there was no way to find a place, so he had to return in vain. ”

Jiang Qi snorted, unclear: "What's wrong with Surabaya?"

The fat man said: "Before the Yellow River seized Si and the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties excavated the North-South Grand Canal, the Yi, Shu, Bian, Sui and other rivers all flowed into the Huai River with the Si River as the main stream. ”

The Sihe River originates in the eastern mountainous area of Sishui County, Shandong Province, the ancient Sihe River was originally one of the main tributaries of the lower reaches of the Huai River, in the south of Luqiao Town, follow the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal to Nanyang Town, pass through Nanyang Lake and south, pass through the west of Zhaoyang Lake, the east of Pei County, Jiangsu Province, and the south to the east of Xuzhou City, and the southeast through the Wharf Town of Huaiyin County (i.e., the ancient Huaiyin County) in the southeast through the current Siyang County to the present Huaiyin County Wharf Town (i.e., the ancient Huaiyin County) into the Huai River. In 1128~1855, during the period when the Yellow River seized the Huai River into the sea, the rivers below Xuzhou City were invaded by the Yellow River. After the Yellow River migrated northward, it lost its flow route into the Huai.

Jiang Qi suddenly blessed his soul: "What do you mean is that Jiuding sank into Surabaya and was brought into the Huai River by Surabaya, and the reason why this palace is based here is because Jiuding was dug up here." ”

As he was talking, Jiang Qi's backpack suddenly churned, he unzipped it, and released two golden birds that looked extremely excited. As soon as the two birds came out, they couldn't wait to fly to Jiuding, standing on the edge of the tripod and chirping happily.

The fat man couldn't help but be surprised when he saw this bird, and after looking at it for a while, he felt like a golden bird in the tomb of the Green Ridge King, Jiang Qi roughly explained the cause and effect, and said: "This pair of birds is born to distinguish yin and yang, is this tripod still to distinguish yin and yang?"

The fat man was rarely silent for a while, his eyes flickered up and down, and he didn't know what he was thinking, and he said for a long time: "Yu casts nine tripods, five are based on the yang method, and four are counted as yin." The engineer takes the female gold as the yin tripod and the male gold as the yang tripod. Dingzhong is always full, in order to account for the rest of the weather. ”

Specifically, metals are also male and female, Dayu uses male gold to cast five yang tripods, and female gold casts four yin tripods. Five should be yang method, four elephants yin number, as for the nine tripods He Ding belongs to yang, He Ding belongs to yin, there is no relevant record, but Jiang Qi saw the location of the bird and knew it.

And the so-called "to occupy the weather of the rest" is to measure the rise and fall of the country's fortunes, because when Dayu cast Ding, he did not admit that he was a centralized Kyushu, but said that "all taste the gods and ghosts of Heng Man", which is used to worship the gods. Whether the gods have appeared or not, it is said that there is, because in the world of Xia Ji, the water in the Ding suddenly boiled. And in the last years of the Zhou Dynasty, Jiuding shook again, which was a sign of destruction.

The fat man is still looking at this tripod carefully, and praised this is the only artifact in China, saying that in addition to the inscription on this tripod, there is also a portrait of the Yellow Emperor riding the dragon, as well as the image of Dayu to control the water, with the dragon and phoenix jade ornament and auspicious cloud pattern as the base ornament, there is a button on the tripod, standing for the double phoenix, and the two sides are edged by the double dragon, looking at it, I feel that the vicissitudes of life are ancient, and there is the meaning of the unity of heaven and man.

Jiang Qi thought about it for a long time, he actually heard the sound of water behind the wall of the main hall, but he tried to shovel it a few times with a shovel just now, but he couldn't shovel it at all.

Because this is a large hall built of huge stones.

Therefore, he felt that there was a key to the core of these nine tripods, and these nine tripods, namely Jizhou Ding, Yanzhou Ding, Qingzhou Ding, Xuzhou Ding, Yangzhou Ding, Jingzhou Ding, Yuzhou Ding, Liangzhou Ding, and Yongzhou Ding, were all filled with clear water, so he took out the water cups in his bag, scooped a cup of water out of each Ding, and splashed it on the huge stone wall in front of them.
