"I'm afraid it's not as simple as Mu Tianzi hiding Jiuding. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info" Fu Jinfeng said, closing the book in his hand.

"Elder Fu, what do you have about Kyushu Ding?" Ye Zhiqiu asked.

"Two years ago, Brother Seven came to me and told me the truth about Jiuding, and at that time I knew that the Jiuding that has been handed down to future generations and is familiar to historians is not the original, and Brother Seven hopes that I can find clues about the whereabouts of Jiuding in the Bamboo Book Chronicle." Fu Jinfeng nodded unhurriedly. "In fact, I did find something about Kyushu Ding."

"What discovery?" Ye Jiuqing asked.

"The role of the tripod at the beginning was the utensils used by the ancients for cooking, and later derived from the sacrificial utensils, until Dayu cast the Kyushu tripod, the tripod was regarded as a heavy weapon for the establishment of the country." Fu Jinfeng told us slowly. "Although the Kyushu Ding has been inherited from the Xia Dynasty and has been regarded as a symbol of royal power in the world until the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the ruling methods adopted by the successive emperors of the Zhou Dynasty are completely different from those of the previous dynasties."

"Fu Lao, when I listened to your class, you also said that before the Zhou Dynasty, Yao Shun Yu Tang, very respectful of morality, to evaluate people's conduct by virtue, the ruler to virtue to lead, standardize people's behavior, when the country is strong, when the country is not virtuous, the country will decline, such as Yu because of the great virtue of water control, admired by the world, Shun will give the world to him, the loss of virtue is brutal and unkind, the princes will deviate from virtue, and they will be destroyed by the Great Zhou." Ye Zhiqiu said.

"However, the founding emperors of the Zhou Dynasty, King Wen and King Wu, both talked about etiquette, so after the establishment of the Great Zhou Dynasty, etiquette was pursued, and etiquette was regarded as the foundation of governing the country, and a set of cumbersome and complex etiquette systems were established for this purpose." Fu Jinfeng nodded and said. "This is the Zhou Rite that has influenced future generations until now."

"What does the Zhou Dynasty have to do with the rule of etiquette and Jiuding?" Gong Jue asked.

Fu Jinfeng continued unhurriedly and continued, the system of rituals recorded by Zhou Li is the most systematic, including national ceremonies such as sacrifices, pilgrimages, sealing the country, hunting patrols, funerals, etc., as well as specific regulations such as the tripod system, the music suspension system, the chariot riding system, the clothing system, the ritual jade system and so on.

The Zhou Dynasty was manifested in all aspects of the ceremonial state, among which the most important in the national ceremony was the priest, and the priests facing the heavens, the earth, and the temples here were particularly important and solemn.

When Fu Jinfeng said this, he took out another book, turned a page on it was the genealogy of Zhou Tianzi in the past dynasties, Fu Jinfeng took a pen and drew a vertical line at King Zhou Mu, pointing to Zhou Tianzi before King Zhou Mu and said.

"During this period, the priest ceremony of the Zhou Dynasty reached an unprecedented grandeur, recorded in the bamboo book chronicle, but the great sacrifice of the country, the Son of Heaven brought a hundred officials into the temple, following the example of the Yellow Emperor Sanding sacrifice to heaven and earth, with the Kyushu Ding to sacrifice, praying for the peace of the country and the people, the entire priest ceremony will last for a month."

"What about King Zhou Mu after that?" I asked.

"This is what I have always wondered, the Zhou Dynasty has a sound and numerous ritual system, and it is the foundation of the country, although the Western Expedition of King Mu of Zhou is the beginning of the decline of the Zhou Dynasty, but the national strength of the Zhou Dynasty is still very strong at that time, but the bizarre thing is that although the Zhou Dynasty also sacrificed after King Mu of Zhou, and the scale is huge, but there is a difference between this and between."

"What's the difference?" Xue Xinrou asked.

"The Zhou Dynasty sacrificial ceremonies were held in the Taimiao, and Jiuding is an indispensable sacrificial thing, before King Zhou Mu, the Son of Heaven sacrificed to the Temple of Heaven and Earth with Jiuding, but this ritual system disappeared after Queen Zhou Mu."

"It doesn't make sense, the Zhou Dynasty etiquette system has clear regulations, and even every move has requirements, and it can't be violated and transgressed, how can there be omissions in sacrificing such an important national ceremony." Xue Xinrou said.

"It's not a legacy, it's a cover-up!" I said thoughtfully.

"Historians debate the whereabouts of Jiuding, and it is rumored that Jiuding sank in the river, but in fact, there has been no record of Jiuding since King Mu of Zhou." Fu Jinfeng nodded and said calmly. "In the left biography, there is a saying that the size of Chu Zi won the tripod, which means that in the Spring and Autumn Period, the king of Chu Zhuang went on a northern expedition, and asked the envoy of Zhou Tianzi about the weight of Jiuding, which has the potential to seize the world of the Zhou Dynasty, historians deduced from this record that the Chu State was strong at that time, and Jiuding was still in the Taimiao Temple, etc., but in the bamboo book chronicle, this matter was also recorded, it can be seen that the allusion of the king of Chu Zhuang is true, but from this incident I see a different point of view."

"The princes and kings of Chuzhuang, since the importance of the crown, it can be seen that the king of Chuzhuang has not seen Jiuding at all, the Zhou Dynasty sacrifice ceremony, the princes and kings must be present, from this record can also confirm that in the later sacrifices of the Zhou Dynasty, the Kyushu Ding has never appeared, so that the princes and kings do not even know the appearance and size of Jiuding." My voice was calm.

"Yes, I also speculated that the importance of King Chuzhuang's victory was in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and starting from King Zhou Mu of the Western Zhou Dynasty, the Kyushu Ding has disappeared from the eyes of the world." Fu Jinfeng said.

"King Mu of Zhou first discovered the Jade Pig Dragon, and then realized that the dragon pattern of the Jade Pig Dragon was the same as the dragon pattern on the banner of the Zhou Dynasty and the Kyushu Ding, according to the golden inscription on Mu Tianzi's coffin, he did discover the secret of the Kyushu Ding." Ye Zhiqiu said.

"What secret did King Zhou Mu discover?" Fu Jinfeng asked.

Ye Zhiqiu hurriedly told Fu Jinfeng about the content of the golden text, King Zhou Mu believed in ghosts and gods, and after the conquest of the southeast, he returned to Hojing and went to the Taimiao, comparing the jade pieces obtained from the conquest, which turned out to be the same as the dragon pattern on Jiuding.

King Mu of Zhou began to realize that the origin of the Kyushu Ding and the patterns engraved on it may hide other secrets, so King Mu of Zhou began to track down the beginning and end of the Kyushu Ding, this piece of the country's heavy weapon began with the completion of the casting of Dayu, after the Xia, Shang and Three Dynasties, the kings of the past dynasties only thought that the Kyushu Ding was a symbol of power, but King Mu of Zhou paid attention to the pattern engraved on the Ding.

Dayu the famous mountains and rivers of Kyushu, the place of beauty, and the strange things were engraved on the Jiuding, and King Zhou Mu repeatedly studied the pattern on the Jiuding, and found that in the pattern actually used flowers, birds, fish and insects to hide the text.

The content of the text shocked King Zhou Mu, Yu went to Kunlun to get the help of the gods, the gods carried the Kyushu map to assist Yu to govern the famine, after the merit was completed, the gods let Yu cast Jiuding, and the Kyushu map was engraved on it.

And asked Dayu to build a bronze palace, and secretly transported Jiuding to the bronze palace for worship, and at the same time the gods asked Dayu to recast Jiuding, King Zhou Mu began to understand that the Kyushu Ding he saw was not real, and the gods left a clue about the location of the bronze palace on the Kyushu Ding.

King Mu of Zhou was so clever that he found an extremely hidden map hidden in the Kyushu Ding, but this map was only partial.

"King Mu of Zhou is because he discovered the secret on Jiuding, so he will go west to Kunlun, and this period of history is all recorded in the biography of Mu Tianzi." Ye Zhiqiu said.

"It turns out that Mu Tianzi is also looking for Kyushu Ding." Fu Jinfeng suddenly realized.

"After finding the tomb of Mu Tianzi, through the inscription on his coffin, I speculated that King Mu of Zhou should hide the secret of Jiuding, so he hid Jiuzhou Ding, so that no one has seen Jiuding again." I looked at Fu Jinfeng and asked. "But why do you say it's not that simple?"

"In the Bamboo Book Chronicle, it was recorded that before the death of King Mu of Zhou, in the last sacrifice, he imitated the Yellow Emperor and cast a bronze tripod of heaven, earth and people symbolizing the gods of heaven, the gods of the earth and the ancestors.

"There is no record of King Zhou Mu casting a tripod in literature and history." Ye Zhiqiu said.

"It is true that there is no one in the official history, but there are two things that can prove the existence of this huge bronze tripod."

"What's the matter?"

"The first thing is the death of King Qin Wu, after the battle of Yiyang, King Qin Wu went to the Zhou capital Luoyang, went to the Taimiao to watch the Jiuding, King Qin Wu was competitive, tried to lift the tripod, but could not move the tripod, injured the internal organs and vomited blood that night and died, it can be seen that this bronze tripod is huge and heavy, I have been guessing that King Qin Wu is not qualified to enter the temple, the big tripod he saw should be the one cast by King Mu of Zhou." Fu Jinfeng said.

"There are indeed allusions to King Wu of Qin in literature and history, whether it is King Wu of Qin or King Chuzhuang, it is not the intention of the drunkard, but all of them are trying to spy on the reality and replace the Zhou room." Ye Zhiqiu nodded and continued to ask. "Old Fu, what's the second one?"

"After Qin destroyed Zhou, Qin Mugong brought Kyushu Ding back to Xianyang, and historical records record that in order to plunder Jiuding, Qin Mugong sent a large army to carry it, which shows how heavy Jiuding is, but only one tripod is transported to Xianyang." Fu Jinfeng looked at us, and his voice was serious. "Later historians on the Jiuding controversy, one of the reasons, that is, Jiuding is one or nine, there is no clear record in the literature and history, King Qin Mu brought back to Xianyang only one Ding, so many historians believe that there is actually only one Kyushu Ding, but the Kyushu River is inscribed on it, so the name of Kyushu Ding."

"Why do you care so much, what's the difference between one and nine, anyway, it's all Kyushu Ding, what we are looking for is the pattern on the Ding, and it has nothing to do with how many Dings there are." Tian Ji said.

"It's a big deal!" Fu Jinfeng shook his head and said thoughtfully.

"What, what does it matter?" Tian Ji disagreed.

"You saw those inscriptions on the coffin of King Zhou Mu, which is enough to prove that there are nine Kyushu tripods that have been handed down to future generations, but after King Zhou Mu, no one has ever seen Kyushu Ding, and the tripod used in the sacrifice has been replaced with a big tripod cast by King Zhou Mu." Fu Jinfeng's brows furrowed slightly. "King Chuzhuang won the throne, it can be seen that the princes and kings have not seen Jiuding, that is to say, it is not clear whether Jiuding is one or nine, and the Son of Heaven can say whatever he wants in later generations."

"Zhou Tianzi, who was after King Mu of Zhou, referred to the deer as a horse, and said that the recast tripod was a Kyushu tripod!" I reacted and was taken aback.

"That's why I think it's not so simple for King Zhou Mu to hide the Kyushu Ding, there is such an important secret on the Ding, he must not want it to be leaked out, it is better to ...... than to hide the Ding" Fu Jinfeng took a deep breath. It's better to destroy Jiuding directly! ”
