Not long after Tai Shiguo left, a stunned young man appeared outside the door, looked inside, and tiptoed in.

Li You noticed that a stranger had come in and looked back. The young man seemed to be a little cowering, bowed to Li You, looked very respectful, and said, "The king has something to summon Lord Neishi, and Lord Neishi asked the ministers to come and accompany the saints. If he is instructed, the minister must obey the law. ”

Li You nodded. I think that Ji Lang came to Taishi to discuss the secret place of the royal tomb. This young man looked like he was seventeen or eighteen years old, but he was dressed in an official uniform, and his rank did not seem to be low. Li You didn't have much research on the costumes of the Zhou Dynasty, so he couldn't see why. But when he saw that the young man's eyebrows and eyes seemed to look like Taishi, he asked, "Who are you?" ”

The young man seemed to be frightened by Li You's question. He probably didn't expect that Li You would ask him such a question. After staying for a while, he came back to his senses, and quickly answered Li You's question: "Xiaochen Li Dan, Lord Neishi is the grandfather of Xiaochen." ”

"Oh." Li You didn't have much idea about the name, nodded, and turned his head to a big tripod engraved with character patterns.

"This is the Qingzhou Shending ......" Seeing that Li You was staring intently at the Dading characters, Li Dan walked close with courage and said in a low voice: "There are twelve inscriptions on it, remembering Qingzhou's terroir, tribes, spiritual grasses, spirit animals, earth qi dragon veins, etc. ”

Li You nodded slightly. motioned for Li Dan to continue.

Li Dan cleared his throat and said: "Shenzhou Jiuding, is made of dark iron outside the sky, the weight is different, Qingzhou Ding is the lightest, weighing 108,649 catties, the heaviest is the Gongzhou Ding, its weight can be praised. ”

"So heavy!" Li You calculated according to the modern unit of measurement in his heart, and the result made him shocked, this weight is more than fifty tons! This is still a modern catty, in ancient times, a catty is sixteen taels!

Li You inhaled secretly in his heart. But he didn't believe Li Dan's words. The so-called extraterrestrial iron is just a remnant of a meteorite, and most of the meteorite components are based on iron, how can it have such a weight. Li Dan's words may not be without exaggeration, and there is another possibility that the reason why Jiuding is so heavy is because of the power of the inscription on it.

"With such a heavy Jiuding, how did King Ping move it from Hojing to Luoyi?" Li You asked puzzled.

"Uh......" Seeing Li You ask such a question, Li Dan was speechless for a while. After a while, he whispered, "...... After King Wu conquered, he built Luoyi and built the Ming Hall to place the Shending...... Mingtang is where the palace is now located......"

"Aha?!" Li You was a little confused by this news. This is obviously not quite what he knows. It is said that before, Jiuding was also enshrined in the Taimiao Temple of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.

"This ......" Li Dan was embarrassed. He naturally knows the bottom of this matter, this is because he is a descendant of Taishi, and he is also the next generation of royal history, so he has the right to know about it. Even Ji Lang, the king of Zhou, did not know the history related to Jiuding. But thinking of what his grandfather had told him before leaving, he gritted his teeth and told the secret.

After the Zhou royal family got Jiuding, they built Luoyi to collect Jiuding. This palace, called the Ming Hall by the Zhou royal family, is used to house Jiuding. At the beginning of the destruction of the Shang Dynasty, the Zhou royal family was at its peak and had abundant financial resources, so it imitated Jiuding and placed Feng Ho and two capitals. In order to divert the attention of the princes of the world and the ambitious people to Jiuding, which has the power of an artifact.

However, the Western Zhou Dynasty perished, King Ping moved eastward, and moved from Haojing to Luoyi Taimiao, which was actually a fake tripod cast in the era of King Wu.

After the Ping Dynasty, Wangji lost a large number of land and people, and the taxes were insufficient. Since the late Ping Dynasty, the royal family has lacked funds to operate. In the end, the king of Zhou had to fight the idea of fake tripods, and used the excuse to transport the nine fake tripods into the palace for resettlement, in fact, they were secretly melted down and minted into coins to alleviate the financial difficulties of the royal family. There are only nine fake tripods, and the two generations of Zhou kings used them up, and it was the fake tripods that melted and minted coins, but this matter was also a great shame for the royal family. Since King Ping, he has kept silent about this matter, and only when Neishi is involved in it can he know the reason for this matter.

Ji Lang, the fifth king of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, had never seen the appearance of a fake tripod at all, so he thought that the real tripod placed in Luoyi was migrated from Fenghao. Nothing is known about this history.

Li You suddenly realized. I was also emotional. Later historians speculated that the reason why Jiuding disappeared was because of the financial difficulties of the Zhou royal family, so it was melted down and coinaged. This conjecture turned out to be not groundless, but the difference from the facts is that the Zhou royal family is just a fake ding, and the calmness still exists in the world. As for how it will eventually disappear, it will depend on how the wheel of history rolls.

Li Dan broke such a royal secret, which made Li You's good impression of him rise, and he also felt that the name Li Dan seemed to be a little familiar. I can't figure this guy out, it's still a celebrity in history. This is not surprising, for example, King Zhou Hui, although he does not have a good reputation in history, but after all, he left his name and mark in the history of China.

Seeing that Li You's eyes were full of encouragement, Li Dan's mouth was like a river, and he carefully described his cognition of Jiuding. But this is only limited to the secrets recorded in the royal history and the content passed down by the family, and he seems to know nothing about the content on Jiuding.

"Lord Neishi, I seem to know a little about the inscription, but the minister doesn't know anything...... Although Xiao Chen can enter and leave the Ming Hall at any time, he can't figure out the characters on it......" Li Dan said casually. Then he explained that the official position of internal history was inherited in his family, and after each generation of old internal history died of old age, the content of the Jiuding inscription mastered would be taught to the next generation. It was also Tai Shi Guo who found that his body was getting weaker and weaker, so he took Li Dan with him to teach, but Li Dan had not followed Tai Shi for a long time, and Tai Shi Guo did not teach him the mystery content of Jiuding.

"So, I can't read these ancient and arcane characters......" Li Dan shook his head and sighed, Li You saw his two big ears that were shining.

"Your surname is Li, and my surname is Li......" Li You smiled. I secretly said in my heart, I can't figure out that your kid may be the ancestor of my old Li family. With a move in his heart, he said, "Want to know the text on it?" Do you want me to teach you? ”

Li Dan's eyes lit up, and he was overjoyed: "Really? You're a god, can't you visit me? ”

"How much you can learn depends on your understanding, this thing...... Well, it's completely different from the written record, you can only understand it, I can only tell you the method of understanding, and feel the rules of operation, when you analyze all the mysteries, heaven and earth will be in your heart. That's when you can understand it in words, but if you want to write it down, you'll find that no matter how much you write, you can't finish it......"

"I understand, I understand!" Li Dan trembled, nodded again and again like a chicken pecking rice, and said in a trembling voice: "Dao is good, very good, famous, very famous......"

“……”

Li You's face first looked like a teachable child, but then a smile froze on his face, held his breath, and asked, "What, what do you say your name is?" ”
