Chapter 904: Taishi

Li You, who has a sense of urgency for time, naturally does not allow himself to waste time. Ji Lang was also honored that Li You was able to visit the palace. But in his heart, he was quite regretful and sentimental.

It was a great honor for the gods to be able to set foot in the palace of the Zhou family. However, the decline of the royal family is an indisputable fact. If such a miracle had befallen Wangji in the past, the royal family would have held a grand ceremony, summoned all the princes of the world, and welcomed the gods into the palace with a grand ceremony. He will even receive the mouth of the god and declare the co-lord and transcendent status of the royal family.

However, at this moment, the man of God descended on Wangji, and the royal family had to cover up the matter, for fear of attracting the jealousy of the princes.

This is still some of Ji Lang's thoughts to think far. More recently, the palace has been in disrepair for a long time, and it looks very shabby, and it is really rude to receive gods and men. Thinking of this, he felt another feeling in his heart.

A few years ago, Ji Lang sent the relevant ceremonial officials of the Taimiao Temple to the old capital of Hojing to worship. The ceremonial official returned lonely and presented a poem "Huang Li".

After reading it, Ji Lang first burst into tears and cried quietly; A few days later, the Taimiao returned from worshipping the ancestors, and when the ministers were feasted, Ji Lang was very drunk, and he was drunk and recited "Pi Huang is leaving, and the seedlings of Bi Ji" are crying.

The glory of the Zhou royal family, the Taimiao where the ancestors of heaven and earth were once sacrificed in Haojing have been decayed and barren, and the rice millet seeds used by the ancestors to sacrifice to the heavens have grown sparsely in this place, full of desolation.

Seeing the gaffe of King Zhou, the three princes and Jiuqing also cried, and the group said, "Those who know me say that I am worried, and those who don't know me say what I want."

This matter has a great impact, and the king of Qi who is far away in Linzi also has relatives, and deliberately follows the regulations of the Zhou rites, and pays a batch of tributes, and at the same time announces the world with the status of the overlord, the princes must respect the king of Zhou, defend Wang Ji, and fight against the barbarians outside the king.

This edict of the King of Qi was originally well-intentioned. But "the etiquette collapses, and the conquest comes from the princes", which was originally a huge irony for Ji Lang.

Ji Lang was full of emotion, but Li You didn't realize it. The palace is dilapidated and still resplendent, and for Li You, there is basically no attraction. The palaces of this era, no matter how extravagant they are, are not as luxurious as the Forbidden City, let alone the glorious buildings such as the Old Summer Palace. All he cared about was Jiuding in the palace and the whereabouts of Lifu.

Chi You is also interested in Jiuding. This is what Li Bojin entrusted him. Although he doesn't have much intersection with Li Bojin, the bystander is clear, he knows better than Li You that the entangled relationship between Li You and Li Bojin understands that helping Li Bojin is actually helping Li You. I don't have a problem with that.

Chi You said that he also attacked to see Jiuding. And Li Chunwen even said that he has a certain amount of research on the Jiuding inscriptions, and he may be able to help. Of course, what he was thinking about was more fear of being abandoned by the two of them. Even if there is no worry about food and clothing in the Taimiao, which can allow him to spend the rest of his life in peace, he is not willing to stay in this era.

Taizhu objected to the entry of the three into the palace. He felt that the gods should be on the altar of the gods, and should not touch the worldly things. It's just that he didn't dare to say more, because as soon as he opened his mouth, Ji Lang glared at him with his eyes, and if he said a few more words, I was afraid that Ji Lang would have to fight with him. In the end, Ji Lang also asked Taizhu to enter the palace together, and at the same time, he also summoned Taishi to discuss together.

Taizhu had to sigh lightly and do as he was told.

The temple is not far from the royal palace. Taking Ji Lang's chariot, in less than half an hour, Li You arrived at the palace.

The construction mode of the palace of the Zhou royal family is not much different from the mansion that Li You saw after entering Wangji. It's just that the scale is larger and the momentum is relatively more magnificent. Li You studied architecture, and he knew very well the value of these things in front of him.

If he hadn't experienced so many bad things, he would have recorded the architectural features he saw in front of him and written a dissertation, which would have been enough to get a doctorate.

Li You sighed, and under Ji Lang's yin spirit, he walked towards the palace where Jiuding was placed.

After entering the palace, Li You sensed the appearance of a mysterious force. He had felt this power before. A breath of power similar to a yin talisman. But compared to the Yin Talisman, this power is relatively weak.

At that time, Li You judged that this was the power breath of Jiuding. At this moment, he sensed the complete appearance of power and breath, which further confirmed the accuracy of Li You's previous thoughts. It's just that up to now, the significance of Jiuding to Li You is not quite the same. The meaning of Jiuding, in addition to the spiritual symbols, is also a clue that may point to the nameless charm that is worth exploring by Li You.

As for the mystery of the Jiuding inscription, for Li You, its importance has been relegated to a secondary position. The Yin Fu rules he controls are far more than those engraved on Jiuding.

After entering the palace, Tai Shiguo hurried over. He had already been greeted by King Zhou in advance and knew that Li You was about to come to visit Jiuding. This is the scope of his management duties, and he naturally has to fulfill the task.

Although the royal power has declined, it is unreasonable to ask the dignified King Zhou to be a companion, although Ji Lang does not care. But under the persuasion of Tai Shiguo, Ji Lang still confessed to Li You and chose to leave.

Li You didn't care about this, Ji Lang was on the side, but it was a kind of constraint, including Taishi Guo and his party, it was an obstacle. But because of Zhou Li, he also had to let him participate.

Tai Shi Guo was a lean old man, nearly eighty years old. At this age, in this era, it can be regarded as a human being. However, Tai Shi Guo seems to be well-maintained, and he looks like he is in his early sixties, only the old age spots on his face, silently telling that this is an old man who is about to die.

Li You also knew that such an old man was a treasure to the Zhou royal family. He has experienced several generations of King Zhou, controlling many secrets of the royal family, and at the same time, Taishi Guo has some relationship with the princes, and many princes and kings may not respect King Zhou, but sincerely respect Taishi. The wisdom of this old man is something that all princes and royal families should bow their heads and listen to.

Tai Shi Guo is not as respectful to Li You and the three of them as Tai Zhu. He was in charge of the royal housekeeping, as well as keeping a record of history. Stay away from ghosts and gods, even if the real body appears in front of you, you look indifferent.

Li You was secretly surprised. He knew very well that people in this era were very rare to be as sensible as Tai Shiguo.

Few people have really witnessed this kind of thing when a man of God descended, and Tai Shi Guo was originally an official who revised history, so he naturally knew better than others. There is only one possibility, Taishi Guo's indifference is by no means innate, but a long-lived experience, he should have found some information related to gods and men in the royal family's collection of books and classics, so he will show enough calmness on this matter.

In the era of the flood famine, the "god man" was just a totemic powerhouse. Although the number is scarce, it is not difficult to find. They accept offerings from the Terran tribes, while sheltering the tribes that worship them. With the advancement of time, the totem gradually disappeared, and if there is a record of this and has been read by Tai Shiguo, then his sense of mystery in the gods will be greatly reduced.
