Chapter 11: The Weight of the Nation
"How can you dig it out quickly without damaging it?" Su Le pondered. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"It's much easier to have someone with a good affinity for the earth element, but none of the three of us can do it." Ya Lifu said regretfully.
Su Le suggested: "If you don't want to find a way to let Uncle Yang Wenli come and dig, he is an expert in this area, and there should always be suitable tools." ”
"I feel that the Dingqi should also have something like an energy body, just like a lightning ball in your body, that is the essence. You just stepped on its ear, you must have a relationship with it, we finally found this place, we must have achieved benefits before telling the archaeologists. ”
Ya Lifu rejected Su Le's suggestion to invite professional archaeologists, and Su Le thought that what she said did make sense, but she had a question: "The tripod is made of copper, and if it is divided according to the five elements, it should be gold." ”
"As far as I know, the five elements refer to the five physical properties, not the five things. The ancient Chinese attributed all kinds of things in the universe to the five elements, so it is no longer wood, fire, earth, metal, and water themselves, but a large group of abstract properties common to various things and phenomena that can be compared in terms of characteristics. Jin has the characteristics of killing and changing, and it is obvious that Baoding is not like this, but is closer to the nature of the earth. In addition, the Chinese say that 'the golden stone is open'. The existence of gold and stone objects is only a difference in form. ”
Ya Lito's strange opinion was also convincing, and Su Le nodded in understanding. However, he needed to add information to Yarito: "Speaking of the lightning ball just now, the lightning ball in my body seems to have gone into hibernation. It is likely that when we fell into the valley, it was also squeezed dry like a battery to protect us. ”
"No wonder you seem to be recovering a little slowly, I'll talk about that later." Ya Lifu also seemed to have a prescient understanding of this, and then she proposed a plan to dig out the treasure ding: "There is a way to try, I will drain the water in the soil as much as possible, and then you try to slowly blow the dust away, so that the tripod can be relatively intact." ”
Su Le and Athena thought it was feasible, so the three of them set out to act. However, this is a slow work, Yalito is fine, as long as the water is drained, Su Le and Athena must be as careful as possible when blowing away the dry dust, so as not to damage the already tattered Ding.
In this way, Yaritom pumped some of the water from the soil, and Su Le and Athena carefully blew it away. Then she pulled out the water from the newly exposed soil, and Sule and Athena blew it away. In this way, soon after the tripod was completely unearthed.
This tripod is neither big nor small, and it is estimated that it will be difficult for one person to lift it, unless there is an innate divine power like Xiang Yu, or people with special abilities like Su Le and Ya Lifu can also lift it.
There are a lot of things engraved on the tripod, but I can't see it clearly, probably mountains and rivers, birds and beasts. Yali looked at it intently, and asked Su Le at the same time: "What is this, you probably understand." ”
"Most likely, it's Kyushu Ding." Su Le replied: "When the Chinese dynasty changed, the jade seal of the country was the most famous as a symbol of orthodoxy. However, in the more distant era - the era of the third king of the Xia Shang Dynasty, the national treasure was the Kyushu Ding. After Qin destroyed Zhou, the whereabouts of Kyushu Ding were unknown. ”
Su Le said a lot of what Ya Lifu had to say, and Ya Lifu added a little dissatisfied: "There is no clear record of Kyushu Ding being destroyed, there are many wild historical legends about the whereabouts, and even said that the Zhou royal family was in financial difficulties, and the money was minted after the destruction, but I think the coinage is a bit exaggerated, the Kyushu Ding was cast in the Xia Yu era, and the technology at that time should not be cast into a big tripod, and King Wu of Qin died of a tripod, so a person can barely lift it, such as the one in front of him, can he mint a few coins?" It seems that it was still taken away by the Qin State, and finally entered the tomb with the First Emperor along with many other treasures. ”
Su Le carefully observed the unearthed tripod vessel, and then asked, "I can't see any essence things like energy bodies that can be taken away?" When we got the Lightning Ball Crystal and Pei Lei's Angry Ruby, it was easy to see lightning and flames. ”
"There are nine of them in Kyushu, if you don't find out all of them, how can there be any energy bodies?" Yaritom asked impatiently.
"But didn't one fall into Surabaya, near Pengcheng? If you have to collect it, you don't have to look for it, you can't get it together. ”
Su Le's words were a little unmotivating, and Ya Liyun was anxious and angry when she saw it.
"Isn't it all for your own good, the power carried by the national heirloom of the Three Kings Era of China is about to arrive, can't you work harder?"
Ya Lifu said loudly to Su Le, looking like she hated iron but not steel. However, seeing Su Le's honest and humble acceptance, she lowered her voice again and continued to patiently explain her thoughts.
"The statement that Yiding fell into Surabaya near Pengcheng is probably because Xiang Yu, who later destroyed Qin, faced the world in this city and called himself the 'Overlord of Western Chu', and this statement came later. If you didn't go from Luoyi to Xianyang, you didn't pass through Pengcheng, how could you fall so far? Besides, the tripod is not so big, where is it so easy to fall into the water and can't be fished up? So I think there must be nine tripods here. ”
After listening to Ya Lito's words, Su Le was a little moved, in order to ease the tension, he joked with Ya Lito: "You say that there are nine tripods, there are nine tripods, I believe what you say, this is the so-called 'one word and nine tripods', hehe." ”
"Don't be poor, hurry up and work for me."
Ya Li was really amused by Su Le's cold jokes, and the atmosphere immediately became relaxed, and then Ya Li led Su Le and Athena to continue digging for treasures.
The arrangement of the Kyushu Ding is still relatively neat, and after digging out the first one, the rest was quickly found, but it was more difficult to dig up, especially the workload of Su Le and Athena was relatively large.
Ya Liso took the opportunity to tell Su Le and Athena some other legends about Ding.
Legend has it that the Fuxi clan created a Shending, which means unification, that is, all things in heaven and earth are unified in the Shending. Later, the Yellow Emperor built three Baoding, symbolizing heaven, earth and man. Xia Yu collected copper from Kyushu and cast it into nine treasure tripods, all of which were used to cook livestock and sacrifice to gods and ghosts. Even after the appearance of the jade seal, the empress Wu Zetian and later Song Huizong also recast Jiuding.
Ya Lifu then talked about her favorite story - winning the Central Plains.
In 606 BC, the state of Chu crusaded against Lu Hun Rong and arrived in Luoyi, where they paraded troops on the outskirts of the Zhou capital. King Zhou Ding sent Wang Sun Man to reward King Chuzhuang. The king of Chuzhuang asked Wang Sunman about the size of the tripod, and Wang Sunman replied: "The ruling of the country lies in morality, not in Baoding (in virtue is not in Ding). ”
King Zhuang said: "Don't rely on Jiuding! As long as the state of Chu destroys the tip of the sword, it can be cast into Jiuding. ”
Wang Sunman said: "Ah! Has the king forgotten this? In the past, when Yu Xia was prosperous, remote countries came to pay tribute, so that the governor of Kyushu paid tribute to the metal, cast into Jiuding, on which many mountains and rivers were painted, all kinds of strange things were available, so that the people knew the strange and harmful situation. Xia Wei was morally corrupt, and Ding was moved to Yin, which lasted for 600 years. King Yin was brutal and brutal, and Ding was moved to Zhou. If the Son of Heaven is morally good, although the Ding is small, it is too heavy to move; If the Son of Heaven is morally corrupt, the tripod is easy to move even if it is heavy. In the past, King Zhou Cheng placed Jiuding in Jiajun, and divination said that it could be passed down for 30 generations and established the country for 700 years, which was the will of God. Although the Zhou royal family is in decline, it is difficult to change the will of God. The importance of winning the championship is really not. ”
