Chapter 700: The Middle Pole

I hurriedly put the book on the table, everyone carefully looked at every place on the map, fortunately, the map of mountains and rivers in Yangzhou is not large, only depicts the general distribution of mountains and rivers in Guzhou, I focused on the animals and plants on the map, everyone in the room was attentive, looked at it for a long time, and when I looked up, I found that everyone was at a loss on their faces. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In the center of the map, it is now Yangzhou, when Dayu cast Jiuding, this place is still a wasteland, but there are many animals and plants, Ye Zhiqiu took out a magnifying glass from his bag to carefully identify the surrounding patterns.

"If you look around Yangzhou City now, the lines on these animals and plants seem to be incoherent." Ye Zhiqiu handed me the magnifying glass.

I hurriedly buried myself again, and sure enough, as Ye Zhiqiu said, the lines depicted by the animals and plants in the center of the map were intermittent, and many places seemed rough, for example, the branches of some plants should be facing upwards, but they were bizarrely downward, or bent left and right, and the hair on the animals' bodies was also sparse and irregular.

"Yu Gong wrote the book thousands of years ago, and these books were printed later, will it be a deviation in the process of printing?" I said thoughtfully.

"From the current point of view, Yu Gong is more like an atlas, the maps in it are rubbed in the past dynasties, after all, I have been in other versions of Yu Gong, these ten maps are exactly the same, that is to say, no matter how later generations reprint, the map inside is still the original map engraved by Yu on the Kyushu Ding." Fu Jinfeng replied in the affirmative.

I then used a magnifying glass to look at the flora and fauna of other places, as well as the veins of mountains and rivers, and strangely enough, except for the center of Yangzhou, there is no such situation on other maps.

Ye Jiuqing asked me to hand him the book, and after reading it for a long time, he turned his head and asked Fu Jinfeng: "Is this book expensive?" ”

"Yugong is not a unique book, you can buy it everywhere, it's just that the version is different, but there is no deviation in the content, how can you say it." Fu Jinfeng shook his hand and replied.

After listening to this, Ye Jiuqing tore off the map of Yangzhou, walked to the window, and the sun shone on the map, and the intermittent lines became clearer.

"I've been exploring tombs and treasures all my life, and I've seen countless ways to hide treasure clues, one of which is called the superimposed shadow method, as the name suggests, it takes two layers to overlap together to see the original appearance." Ye Jiuqing looked at the raised map and said. "I don't see that these intermittent lines are not like blemishes, they should be left on purpose, and there should be another part overlapping them."

Since the clues were left on the map, the other part should also be related to the map, so I quickly asked the others to tear off the rest of the map and look for the same lines in the sunlight.

"It's this one!" It didn't take long for me to hear the excited voice of the field chicken.

We walked over, he was holding a map of the whole picture of Kyushu in his hand, and there were also intermittent irregular lines near Yangzhou, Ye Jiuqing overlapped the two maps based on the center of Yangzhou, and the lines of those broken chains were magically combined.

Under the projection of the sun, Fu Jinfeng raised his hand tremblingly and pointed to one of the places: "These interlaced lines are like words, as if they are, they are oracle bone inscriptions!" ”

"Yes, it's Oracle!" Xue Xinrou was excited.

I put the two shells on the table together, then carefully lifted them up, and when they were placed together with the overlapping map sections, they overlapped perfectly.

At that moment, a magnificent and complete bronze palace was presented in front of us, nine bronze tripods were placed in the middle of the palace in a row, this is the bronze palace that hides the real Kyushu tripod, and the oracle bone inscription next to it is too old, Ye Zhiqiu will be difficult to translate for a while.

Fu Jinfeng took the map from Ye Jiuqing's hand, buried his head in front of the table, and meticulously copied all the oracle bone inscriptions on it, after all, he was an authority on historiography, and with Ye Zhiqiu's assistance next to him, the two worked together to translate while flipping through the materials.

The content of the oracle bone inscription did not surprise us, and the content recorded on the coffin by King Mu of Zhou is the same, the prehistoric flood disaster, Dayu in order to quell the flood, went to the Kunlun Yellow Emperor Palace to ask for help from the gods, and got the help of the gods, with Kyushu to help it dredge the river to control the flood, when the completion of the work, the gods ordered Dayu to cast Jiuding, and the Kyushu landform was engraved on the Jiuding.

And let Dayu secretly build a bronze palace, hide the nine tripods in it, Dayu did not dare to slacken, according to the instructions of the gods, and then the gods asked Dayu to cast nine tripods again, for the inheritance of future generations.

"Didn't you say where the Bronze Palace is?" Tian Ji was anxious.

"There is only this content of the oracle bone inscription above, and there are some words in the back, which I have never seen, but these words are far more systematic and perfect than the oracle bone inscription, and I can't translate the meaning." Fu Jinfeng pointed to the map and said regretfully.

"You should know these words......" Ye Zhiqiu handed me the map again.

I looked in the direction of her finger, and her mouth slowly grew, it was the text in the divine domain, although the ancestor of the Zhu family passed down the Jiuding secret, but the exact location of the Bronze Palace would only be left to the Guixu people.

"The ancestors of the Zhu family are also buried in the Bronze Palace, and the location of the Bronze Palace is in the ......" I licked the corners of my mouth, unable to tell whether I was nervous or excited, after all, this place has a map of my return to my homeland. In the middle of Yangzhou. ”

"The middle pole of Yangzhou?!" Ye Jiuqing frowned and walked over to me to look at the map. "There's no indication of where the Middle Pole is?"

"The middle pole is the center, the middle pole of Yangzhou, that is, the bronze palace that hides Jiuding is built in the most central location of ancient Yangzhou." Fu Jinfeng walked over and pointed to the middle of the map. "This place is the later Hanguo, and it is also the Yangzhou of today."

"Yangzhou is not small, just the four words of the middle pole, is it difficult for us to turn over Yangzhou City like headless flies?" Tian Ji looked surprised.

"The ancestors of the Zhu family used the words of the Divine Domain to leave clues, and the only ones who can understand it are the people on that ship, and they will not leave the clues so vaguely, there should be other things that we ignore." I say.

"Look here." Gong Jue pointed to the map in my hand, on the right side of Yangzhou, alternating lines to form a new animal. "What do you look like animals?"

"I look like a tiger." Xue Xinrou tilted her head and looked at it for a long time. "But why is this tiger's tail like it's burning with flames?"

"There's that too." Ye Zhiqiu pointed to the south of Yangzhou, where a deer with stars and moon appeared on its head.

"Donghu Nanlu...... This, what does this mean? Ye Jiuqing was at a loss.

"A tiger with a flame on its tail, or a deer with a star and moon on its head, I've never seen such an animal." Tian Ji asked in my ear in a low voice. "So many rare birds and beasts in the Classic of Mountains and Seas are real, it shouldn't be the creatures in the Divine Domain."

I shook my head without even thinking about it, if it was a creature in the Divine Domain, I should have heard of it, but I never knew that such a strange creature existed, and what it meant to appear on the map.

"Perhaps the use of these two animals implies something else." Fu Jinfeng said.

"These two animals appear in the east and south, respectively, and they are referring to the direction." Gong Jue pointed to the map and said.

"Direction......" Xue Xinrou's voice was excited. I know what these two animals are, they are Tailed Fire Tiger and Zhang Yuelu. ”

"It's the stars!" It dawned on me.

The Tailed Fire Tiger is one of the 28 constellations, the tail is the tail of the dragon, and the tail also belongs to the constellation Scorpio, which is the tail of the scorpion, the ancients used the 28 constellations to observe the movement of the sun, moon and stars, and this method was also taught to the ancients by returning to the ruins.

And Zhang Yuelu is the fifth Nakshatra in the south, in the 12 signs of Suyao, Zhang Su belongs to the four-legged lion palace, and in the cognition of the gods, Zhang Yuelu is the most central star of Leo.

The Divine Domain uses the intersection of the trajectories of celestial bodies to identify the coordinates, which is the same as the principle of the north and south latitudes, but the north and south dimensions can only be marked with two-dimensional coordinates, but the Divine Domain can mark the three-dimensional coordinates with the trajectory of celestial bodies.

I thought of this and hurriedly asked Tian Ji to take out the map, I have the memory of the Divine Domain, and I am no stranger to how to use this method of positioning, and it was quickly converted into latitude and longitude, and it was marked on the map, and a place name appeared where the latitude intersected.

Wenchang Pavilion.

"That's right, it has to be this place." When Ye Zhiqiu saw the place names on the map, he was excited and said loudly.

"Why are you so sure?" Gong Jue asked.

"The map suggested before that the location of the Bronze Palace is in the middle pole of Yangzhou, and the center of ancient Yangzhou is now Yangzhou City, and the center of Yangzhou City is Wenchang Pavilion, which can be described as the real middle pole of ancient Yangzhou." Ye Zhiqiu said with certainty.

"I have been to Wenchang Pavilion, my father has always hoped that I can become a scholar, when I was a child, I was specially taken to Yangzhou Wenchang Pavilion, the reason why it was named Wenchang, there is the meaning of Changming Confucianism, take me is to hope that I have a little literary atmosphere." Tian Ji scratched his head and said to us. "But Wenchang Building was built in the Ming Dynasty, how can this not be related to Kyushu Ding."

"Sometimes I really want to pry open your brain, to see what is inside, Wenchang Pavilion because of the war and military disasters and historical vicissitudes, I don't know how long it has been destroyed, the Wenchang Pavilion you see was built later, according to your meaning, isn't it Kyushu Ding should have been found a long time ago." Ye Zhiqiu glanced at Tian Ji.

"The location where the Wenchang Pavilion was built is the center of ancient Yangzhou, and the Bronze Palace should be built under the current Wenchang Pavilion." The palace lord said to us happily. "Without further ado, let's go to Yangzhou immediately."

Fu Jinfeng personally sent us to the door, and Ye Zhiqiu was very grateful and said, "Old Fu, if we can find Jiuding this time, I will definitely inform you as soon as possible." ”

"Jiuding is a secret left by the ancestors of the seventh brother, and it can't be made public, just think it's my wish for the seventh brother, I hope that the seventh brother Jiuquan can rest assured that he knows it." Fu Jinfeng smiled faintly. "I also plan to go to Bailuyuan to accompany Seventh Brother to talk, just trouble everyone, I will bring this good news to Seventh Brother first."
