Chapter 170: Jiuding
According to historical records, Dayu quelled the floods, and after the establishment of the Xia Dynasty, he ordered the world to collect all kinds of rare stones and black iron bronze in Kyushu to make nine tripods.
Jiuding represents the world's Kyushu, Dayu ordered people to be the world's Kyushu land of all kinds of rare beasts, mountains and rivers painted on the tripod.
So Jiuding can represent the Son of Heaven when they get together, which is the symbol of state power and the kingship of the Son of Heaven, and is regarded as the treasure of the country and the treasure of the town in the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties.
In ancient times, there were strict regulations that only the Son of Heaven could use nine tripods, and the vassal states could only use seven tripods.
Jiuding is divided into Yangding, Jingding, Liangding, Xu Ding, Yuding, Yongding, Qingding, Yanding, and Jiding.
When Dayu died, he left a testament: Jiuding is lost, and the world is divided.
When the world is in turmoil, heroes from all walks of life will fight to the death for Jiuding, and the princes of Kyushu will definitely ignite the fire of war in the world.
After the fall of the Xia Dynasty, the Shang Dynasty was established, so Jiuding was moved to the Shang capital Yin; King Wu of Zhou fell, the Shang Dynasty was destroyed, the Zhou Dynasty was established, known as the Western Zhou Dynasty in history, and King Cheng of Zhou moved Jiuding to Luoyi.
In the later period of the Western Zhou Dynasty, the regime began to decline, coupled with the greed for pleasure of the King of Zhou You, the King of Zhou You was ousted by the dog Rong, and the Western Zhou Dynasty was destroyed;
In the late Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the world began to be in turmoil, and the vassal states fought each other for territory, coupled with the invasion of foreign enemies, and the history was called the Warring States.
During the Warring States Period, the royal family of the Zhou Dynasty, as the Son of Heaven, often asked for help from all the princes, and the role of the Son of Heaven was not as good as before, and it had become an ornament, no longer the former co-lord of the world.
In the period of King Zhou Xun, the internal fighting continued, and it was divided into the Western Zhou and the Eastern Zhou, at this time it was the Warring States Period, after a long period of war, Zhou Tianzi had no effect, and the princes did not have to act in the name of King Qin, so Qin Xiaogong destroyed the Western Zhou Dynasty in the late Warring States period, and pulled Jiuding back to Qin, and since then Zhou Tianzi has lost the status of the co-master of the world in the real sense.
In 256 B.C., after the Qin State destroyed the Western Zhou Dynasty, on the way back to China, the Yongzhou Ding, which represented the Qin State, jumped into Surabaya, and finally only transported the eight tripods to the Qin State intact, and placed the Zhou Ding in Xianyang Palace. After Qin Shi Huang unified the six countries, when he passed through Pengcheng on his patrol, he sent thousands of people to Surabaya to salvage the lost Ding, and even pious "fasting and praying", but in the end, Zhou Ding "Fude" made Liu Bang, the "market", "the big husband should be like this", and "Qianfu" Xiang Yu released the bold words of "he will replace him".
The old monk of empty sorrow slowly finished telling the story about the tripod of Kyushu, and the tea guests in the inn looked at the tripod that fell on the ground at will with more and more different eyes, they all thought that the monk of empty sorrow must be related to this tripod, so it is conceivable that the origin of this Han Mu Ding must be not small.
When everyone was thinking about it in their hearts, the young man still said with a big grin: "Old monk, you have said so much nonsense, do you have anything to do with my Han Mu Ding? ”
"Yes, master, is this young man's tripod one of the nine tripods?" the shopkeeper was curious in his heart, but at the same time, he couldn't withstand the push of many tea customers, so he asked the monk of empty sorrow very respectfully.
"Boy, can the old man know your name?" the monk did not immediately answer the question between the young man and the shopkeeper.
"Master, I won't change my name, I won't change my surname, my surname is Xia, and my surname is Xiaohu!" the young man patted his chest vigorously, raised his head and said proudly.
"Oh, it turned out to be the Lord of Xia, Shu Lao Gu has been meditating in the White Horse Temple for many years, but I didn't know that there was such a wonderful young hero in the rivers and lakes, and when I saw it today, it was really the Buddha's favor, Amitabha..."
The old monk did not speak immediately after worshipping, but looked at the west in silence, as if in a kind of meditation.
Although the shopkeeper and the tea guests were curious and unbearable, out of awe of the old monk of empty sorrow, they did not make any sound, so as not to disturb the old monk of empty sorrow.
Xia Xiaohu didn't care so much, walked to a table by himself, then picked up the wine jug and poured wine directly into his mouth, and then began to drink it with a gurgling face.
Fan Zhen looked at the old monk of empty sorrow who was meditating, and then looked at Jiang Liu'er with a serious face, and asked softly: "Why? In the face of the high monk of empty sorrow, you are under a lot of pressure? Or do you also know the so-called Han Mu Ding?"
"Wrong, you're wrong again. The empty and sad monk is a person in my Buddhism, and he will only be close, so how can he say that he is under pressure. Han Muding, a monk I have never heard of. Monk, what I'm interested in is that the boy named Xia Xiaohu. Jiang Liu'er stared at Xia Xiaohu, who was drinking recklessly, not knowing what he was thinking.
"That young man, do you have any explanation? What is the empty sorrow monk doing?" Fan Zhen asked puzzledly, and before Jiang Liu'er could answer, Fan Zhen continued: "I have never believed in ghosts and gods, if I hadn't met you a long time ago, I don't think I would have much interest in Buddhist masters, but now I see that you two monks, one old and one young, were unexpectedly distraught by a sloppy young man, and I felt a burst of joy in my heart, haha." ”
"Fun, it seems that the boy is indeed interesting. After Jiang Liu'er finished speaking, she pushed away the people who were silently waiting for the empty old monk to solve their doubts, came to Xia Xiaohu's side, saluted him, and said, "Xia Xiaohu?"
Xia Xiaohu, who was drinking, heard someone calling him, so he put down the wine jug, looked at Jiang Liu'er impatiently, and said loudly: "Monk, are you not convinced?"
"What should I do if I am not convinced?" Jiang Liu'er smiled slightly and said flatly.
"If you don't accept it, you obey it, how can it come from?" Before Xia Xiaohu could speak, the empty old monk who was meditating interjected coldly.
When Jiang Liu'er heard this, she was not surprised, nor did she make any extra moves, but said lightly: "Jinshan Temple, Jiang Liu'er." ”
Xia Xiaohu put down the wine jug, a sneer came out of his mouth, and he also said very highly: "Wujiang Pavilion, Xia Xiaohu!"
The old monk nodded slightly, and said compassionately: "White Horse Temple, empty sorrow." ”
Jiang Liu'er: "The senior monk has served?"
Empty sorrow: "Where is the high monk?"
Xia Xiaohu: "Two bald heads. ”
Jiang Liuer: "A bald head is a monk!"
Empty sadness: "The bald head is really helpless!"
Xia Xiaohu: "Helpless? Why don't you leave any room?"
Empty sorrow: "Leeway?"
Jiang Liu'er: "Leeway!"
Xia Xiaohu: "Yes, leeway!"
Empty sorrow: "Since ancient times, heroes have no way out!"
Jiang Liuer: "Heroes have always been written in history!"
Xia Xiaohu: "I see. ”
Empty sorrow: "Young heroes are talented, empty sorrow is not enough!"
Jiang Liuer: "I see?"
......
The three of them answered each other at great speed.
The rest of the inn looked at each other, not knowing what they were talking about, so they could only silently remember what they said in their hearts, hoping to have the opportunity to ask the three of them for advice again.
