Chapter 16 The fuzzy pattern on the big tripod

"Yes, it's the Ancestral Hammer. ”

The tall ape-man nodded in confirmation, looked at the blacksmith and sighed, "The master has always wanted to observe the sleeping ancestral hammer. Our blacksmith's "Book of Craftsmen" records that the ancestral hammer is as big as a bucket, the handle is three feet six inches long, and it weighs 3,600 catties. It was the Mountain Ape Ancestor who invited an immortal family to build a divine soldier in the Great Yan King City. ”

The old blacksmith took over the words: "Not bad. Over the years, I have always wanted to take out the ancestral hammer and observe the immortal family's building methods, hoping that my craftsmanship will go further. But the ancestors have training, and those who are not alone in lifting weights cannot use this hammer. ”

The master and apprentice looked regretful.

Everyone finally reacted, and talked about the topic of the ancestral hammer for a while.

"So you're thinking about this hammer. ”

The elder of the big clan sneered: "The ancestor of the mountain ape sealed the ancestral hammer with his own hands before he sat down, and it was suppressed with a 18,000-pound big tripod, if you want to take the hammer, you have to lift the big ding alone." The ancestor has been dead for more than 200 years, and only those who don't know the height of the sky dare to try. ”

In the face of the old man's ridicule, the blacksmith did not show weakness, "It is better to have the courage to try than to have no courage in the rats." ”

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, Ape Cong quickly diverted the topic.

"Kang Jia, our tribe does have such an ancestral hammer, but it does not weigh a thousand catties, but three thousand six hundred catties. ”

"Three thousand six hundred pounds!"

Kang Jia muttered, but his eyes lit up, and his face was eager to try.

Ape Cong reminded: "Before the ancestor died, he sealed the ancestral hammer dust under the Ji'en platform, and there was a 18,000-pound Dading on it to suppress it. And there is a saying that it must be a single person who lifts the top to be used. ”

Kang Jia nodded.

"Auntie, I want to try it in the ancestral land!"

Ape Cong smiled bitterly, "I know that your baby will definitely fight it after hearing about it, but it is a 18,000-pound tripod, and our tribe has not been able to lift it alone for two hundred years, even if it is shaken." Are you sure you can lift it?"

Kang Jia shook his head.

"I don't know. Actually, I don't know how much strength I have, is there any way for my aunt to measure my strength?"

The ape bush looked at the old man.

The elder of the big clan was a little excited and instigated Kang Jia to say: "With ten thousand catties of strength, it is difficult for our tribe to test, and it is difficult to be accurate if the test is made. ”

The blacksmith pouted, "Standing and talking doesn't hurt your back, what if this baby fails to try to lift Dading and tears his muscles and bones?"

The elder of the big clan said angrily: "I just proposed, it is up to Kang Jia to decide whether to raise the crown or not." Why do you keep talking against me?"

"Contrarian?"

The blacksmith snorted coldly: "This baby is ignorant, he doesn't know his own catties, you let him know what kind of heart An's heart is!"

In the face of the blacksmith's rebellion, the old man of the big clan was angry, and the two were enemies, and the whole tribe knew about it.

The ape had to round the field again.

"Kang Jia, you can decide this matter yourself, Auntie can only remind you to do what you can. ”

Kang Jia nodded.

"Where is the ancestral land? We'll go now, if I can't lift the big ding, I won't force myself. ”

The blacksmith opened his mouth widely: "Baby, do you really want to go? That's a 18,000-pound tripod." ”

Kang Jia felt the blacksmith's concern and was moved in his heart, but he still said without hesitation: "I want that ancestral hammer." ”

"Uh, count me in for talking. ”

The blacksmith sat down angrily and drank the shark soup. Ape Cong knew that Kang Jia was determined, and he didn't persuade him again, and immediately said hello to a few clan elders and prepared to take Kang Jia to the ancestral land. Who would have thought that as soon as the two aunts and nephews got up, several clan elders and several ape-man high-ranking officials at the other table also stood up.

"Haha, our tribe has not been crowned for decades, how can such a big event be missed. ”

"Yes, even though I lived to be over sixty years old, I had never seen what the ancestral hammer looked like!"

"Who has seen it!"

The elder of the four clans pulled the elder of the second clan, "Let's go, Kang Jia is talented, maybe he can really lift the big ding, the ancestral hammer has been sealed for more than two hundred years, it's time to see the light of day again." ”

Everyone surrounded Kang Jia's aunt and nephew and left, and the old blacksmith didn't care about continuing to drink the soup, so he hurriedly chewed a few pieces of shark meat and trotted over.

The actions of the high-level tribe attracted the attention of the clansmen who lined up in front of the canteen to scoop the shark soup.

"What happened, why are they all gone?"

"The little baby is going to lift the crown. ”

"What Ding?"

"The big ding in the ancestral land, I heard that it is for the ancestral hammer under the big ding. ”

"How could it be. The mouth weighed 18,000 catties, and the dusty ancestral hammer below was even more legendally weighed 3,600 catties, and the leaders on the left and right didn't dare to try it. ”

"It's the little baby who can be lifted. ”

"Little Baby......

The ape-man's eyes lit up, and he also left the soup team. The news spread quickly, and there was soon a riot in the surrounding area.

"What kind of soup are you drinking! Let's go, let's see the little baby go first." ”

More and more ape-men left, and the long queue for soup suddenly became thin, and the cooks who were waiting to boil the pot to scoop the soup for the people were dumbfounded.

"What happened?"

Chef Liu frowned, he never thought that someone would be willing to leave when he was boiling shark soup.

"Old cook, I heard that the little baby is going to the ancestral land to raise the crown. ”

"Lifting?"

Chef Liu was stunned for a moment, suddenly opened his eyes wide, and roared: "Quick, quickly turn off the fire." Let's see the little baby go first. He didn't even wash his hands, and rushed out of the dining hall with his legs.

Behind the crowd.

Jiajia, Aku, and Erwazi Hundreds of children gathered together, and Erwazi frothed at the mouth and boasted about how Kang Jia had the ability to mobilize everyone to recognize him as the king.

The children were a little hesitant, and it happened that at this time Kang Jia's lifting of the tripod came, and the second baby suddenly howled excitedly: "Our great king is going to the ancestral land to raise the crown, hear it, except for the great king, who has that ability." ”

Jiajia also has a feeling of raising her eyebrows.

"Little baby, you must lift it up. ”

"Let's take a look, too. Aku was the first to leave, and the more than 100 children gathered around him also gasped.

"If that child can really lift up the great ding, we will recognize him as king. ”

"Not bad. ”

"Let's go, look at the baby, see if he doesn't seem to be as powerful as the second baby said. ”

......

The children moved, chattering all the way, and it was very lively.

The ancestral land of the ape-man is located on the mountainside of the mountain of Ruyun Peak, where the terrain is open, and there is a wide flat land that can overlook the entire ape-man tribe. The reason why this place is called the ancestral land is because it is said that the ancestor of the mountain ape has attained perfection and cultivated here.

There are no tombs in the ancestral land, only a high altar.

On the altar, there is a two-person high bronze tripod standing, the years have left traces, and the tripod body is stained with corrosion, covered with patina.

Kang Jia was surrounded by apes and came here. Looking at Dading from afar, he felt a simple and cangsang atmosphere, moved to the altar, looked up at the tripod, and lost his mind slightly.

Ape Cong also sighed: "This is the Thanksgiving Platform of the ancestral land." The big tripod on the thanksgiving platform is cast by the ancestor when he was alive, and there was a pattern on the original tripod, but more than 200 years of wind and rain corrosion, those patterns can no longer be seen, only there is a little fuzzy pattern under the big tripod. ”

"Pattern?"

Kang Jia looked curious, climbed the thanksgiving platform, and looked up at the bottom of the big ding. In the line of sight, a vague pattern appeared in front of him, it was an old ape as if worshipping a living being. The creature looked a little like a human, but he had a lot of eyes on his forehead, and more places were corroded by patina, and he couldn't see clearly.

"What do you mean?"

Kang Jia was confused, combined with the name of "Thanksgiving Terrace", he suddenly had a guess: "Could it be that the Mountain Ape Ancestor is grateful to that strange person?"
