Now Sparrow said that the Yushen Monument may be related to the location of Jiuding, he does not rule out this possibility, but even if it is true, what is the significance? The times are developing, history is constantly advancing, and today's era is by no means the time when you can dominate the world with nine bronze tripods, the so-called Jiuding is just a symbol, in the past it may have some credibility, that is nothing more than the ruling class deliberately shrouded in mystery, not Jiuding itself has any special ability.

Sparrow picked out a copy of "Warring States Policy" and said: "At the beginning of "Warring States Policy", Eastern Zhou Policy is one, and there is a "Qin Xingshi Linzhou Seeking Jiuding Chapter", which records the story of Qin wanting to invade the Zhou Dynasty and seize Jiuding. In order to deal with the Qin State, Zhou Yan Rate first encouraged the Qi State to help drive Qin, and promised to give Jiuding to the Qi State, and the Qi State came to ask for it, Yan Rate asked the King of Qi which way to go, but the results were not suitable, and said that there were nine Jiuding, one would use 90,000 people, and 99.81 million people would be pulled away. ”

She pointed out the article to Luo Lie, Luo Lie raised his eyes, and wrote: Yan Shu said: "Even if the king has his own people, how can he get out? The king of Qi said: "The number of sons is still unheard." Yan rate said: "Don't dare to bully the big country, the disease will be determined, and the disadvantage will be moved to standby." ”

From then on, the king of Qi no longer mentioned the matter of pulling Jiuding. From here, Jiuding is really heavy enough, but there must be exaggeration, but judging from this literature, Jiuding must be very heavy, or nine.

Sparrow said: "Let's imagine if it is really a copper tripod that can be pulled by 90,000 people, how big is it?"

Luo Lie secretly thought in his heart, judging from this article, any of the nine tripods is at least the size of a small building, as far as he has seen in his travels to various countries, he has never seen such a large copper tripod, even if there is such a copper tripod, how big a furnace must be to be able to forge such a tripod? Unless this tripod is not one, but is combined with parts.

Sparrow said: "I also found the letters between my father and the head of Yuelu Academy, Mr. Kwai Yuan, and the letters also communicated with Jiuding. ”

Mr. Kwai Yuan is a famous scholar in the world, his real name is Wang Xianqian, a famous squire leader, once served as the country's prince of the priest wine, he believes in the "Hanshu Supplement to the Suburbs" that the Eastern Zhou royal family in the process of decline, has no power to protect itself. However, during the Warring States Period, the powerful vassal states were eyeing each other, trying to unify China and replace Zhou. Therefore, the Jiuding that symbolizes the royal power and the "destiny of heaven" has naturally become a rare national treasure that the princes must want to take; in addition, the Zhou royal family is in financial difficulties at this time, and it is impossible to make ends meet, so the Jiuding is destroyed to cast copper coins, and the external world falsely claims that the Jiuding has disappeared, so as not to let the princes and countries come to win the championship, this statement has been recognized by many people.

However, Wang Xianqian also verified that there was a saying that one of the nine tripods flew east and sank into Surabaya, this matter is recorded in many historical books, it is said that the day of the nine tripods flying eastward, the long rainbow runs through the sun, the giant tripod flies up from the ground without warning, the fire soars into the sky, turns into a fireball in the air, and then flies straight to the southeast, falls over Pengcheng, and sinks into Surabaya.

Pengcheng is now Xuzhou, Surabaya is located in the southeast of Shandong, the southern foot of the Taiyi Mountains. Luo Lie didn't believe in this statement, after all, a bronze tripod flew from the capital of the Zhou Dynasty near Xi'an to Xuzhou, this matter is too incredible, not to mention how this tripod is driven?

Sparrow's words did not attract much attention from Luo Lie, but one of the letters exchanged between Wang Xianqian and Ma Boxuan caught Luo Lie's attention, and it was not the content of the letter that attracted him, but the envelope, because this envelope was exactly the same as the letter sent to his mother from Beiping that Luo Lie found in the wooden box, and Luo Lie picked out the letter from it.

Sparrow said: "Wrong!"

Luo Lie was stunned in his heart, and he didn't know why she said this.

Sparrow said, "This letter is not from Mr. Kwai Yuan. ”

Luo Lie nodded and said, "Can I watch it?"

Sparrow said, "You see." ”

The letter had been opened in the first place, and Luo Lie pulled out the letter from it, not caring about the content of the letter, but wanting to confirm whether the letter in the envelope was the same as his mother's letter. When Luo Lie took out the same letter paper from the envelope, his heart suddenly became excited, such an opportunity to find a needle in a haystack was actually encountered by him, the content of the letter was nothing special, just a greeting between friends, and the name of the letter writer was left in the cashier's place to forget the worries.

Luo Lie suppressed the excitement in his heart and said in a low voice, "Who sent this letter?"

Sparrow approached the letter and looked at it: "Mr. Forget Worry, his name is Shen Forget Worry, he is my father's senior brother, and my father went to Yenching University to teach back then, or because of his recommendation." ”

Luo Lie suddenly remembered his mother's surname, was it just a coincidence? The same envelope, the same letterhead, the same surname, there were too many coincidences.

Luo Lie said: "Is this Mr. Forget Worry still in Beiping?"

Sparrow shook his head and said, "He is a researcher of world history, he has resigned from Yenching University more than ten years ago, and is now employed by the National Library, but he was invited to give lectures in Europe last year, and he should be back this year." ”

Luo Lie knocked on the side and said, "You have a good relationship with this Mr. Forget Worries." ”

Sparrow said: "He is my dad's best friend, by the way, he also recommended me to teach at Yenching University this time." ”

Luo Lie looked at the sparrow in some surprise, and only then did he know that the sparrow's current identity had become a teacher at Yenching University.

Sparrow was a little embarrassed by him, and whispered: "Actually, it's also the meaning of the university, they hope to be able to sort out and publish some of my father's academic achievements during his lifetime, and it just so happens that the history department lacks a teacher, so Mr. Forget Worry recommended me to Mr. Cai." I don't have to substitute teach, mainly because I want to help, and by the way, I want to fulfill my father's wish before his death. When Ma Boxuan was alive, he was ready to collect and publish some of his academic experience, but unfortunately he died of illness before he could achieve his wish.

Luo Lie nodded and said, "That Fu Bo of yours agreed?"

Sparrow said: "He is very good, and he is also an old friend of my father, who has taken care of us all these years. ”

Luo Lie thought in his heart that Fu Bo was not so simple, and some words could not be said too clearly to the sparrow, and smiled: "In this way, we will have more opportunities to meet in the future." ”

Sparrow nodded, plucked up the courage to say, "Actually, this place is so big, you and your friends can move here, I don't charge you rent." Before she finished speaking, her pretty face was already red, and the girl's mind was exposed.

Luo Lie smiled: "It's still not here to disturb your purity, by the way, can you help keep the matter of our visit to Beiping?"

Sparrow blinked: "Don't bother, in fact, I'm going to move to the school in the next two days, and this place will be empty, rather than hiring someone to take care of it, it is better for you to trust it." ”

Luo Lie nodded and said, "Cheng, I'll go back and discuss it with them." ”

Zhou Xiaodie is like a yellow crane evaporating from the world, the blind man has not been idle since he came to Beiping, he is looking for Zhou Xiaodie's whereabouts everywhere, but Beiping City is too big, if a person sincerely wants to hide, then it is difficult for others to find traces.

Luo Lie always thought that Zhou Xiaodie's disappearance had a lot to do with Ye Qinghong, although Ye Qinghong pointed out that Zhou Xiaodie was a Japanese spy like Lan Ximei, but Luo Lie thought that this possibility was very small, Ye Qinghong used this method to use Zhou Xiaodie to contain the blind man, and used the blind man's friendship with himself to make himself have to participate in her plan.

However, Luo Lie promised Ye Qinghong to help her this time, not because of this, but because of reciprocation, after all, Ye Qinghong gave him a lot of help in Jinmen, without Ye Qinghong's help, he would not have been able to help Fang Kewen's family get out of trouble smoothly, and he had to recognize this favor.

Although Luo Lie refused Fang Kewen's request in person, he couldn't really turn a blind eye to Fang Kewen's fate, and specially asked Zhang Changgong to go to Xi Jin Xuan a few times, and the result was the same every time, Xi Jin Xuan always locked the door, and Fang Kewen was already empty.

Luo Lie really hopes that Fang Kewen can be freed from hatred, after all, it is not easy for him to get to this day, Fang Kewen can't be careless, and the pain and misfortune that Little Peach's mother and daughter have experienced for him are too much, Luo Lie hopes that this family can truly live a peaceful life.

However, Luo Lie understood that this might only be an expectation, after leaving the Nine Secret Realm, Fang Kewen's body had undergone amazing changes, since that day he exposed the scales of his right leg in front of him, Luo Lie's mood also became worried, he didn't know what Fang Kewen would become in the end, but he knew that Fang Kewen was becoming radical and irritable, and became hateful to the world that had turned his back on him.

Everyone who goes deep into the Nine Shadows Secret Realm will have a change in their bodies, Ma Boxuan, Luo Xingmu, Fang Kewen, they are all without exception. Although his body has not changed at all, his insomnia symptoms have become significantly more serious.

Since coming to Beiping, Luo Lie has never slept peacefully, he also tried to anesthetize himself with alcohol, but it had no effect, for the treatment of insomnia, Luo Lie has always refused drugs, but the more and more serious insomnia, but he had to consider drug treatment.

As an old friend for many years, the blind man saw the changes in Luo Lie, and he suggested: "Go out for a walk more, you have lost a lot of weight recently." ”

Luo Lie lit a cigarette, took a puff, spit out a cloud of smoke, then closed his eyes and leaned back on the recliner, and said softly, "What time is it?"

"Four!"

Luo Lie nodded, tomorrow is the day to meet Ye Qinghong, for some reason, he suddenly remembered that night in the Tang Mansion, he leaned on Ye Qinghong's shoulder and slept soundly all night, this is also a really solid sleep in recent times, because of this, he actually has some expectations for Ye Qinghong's arrival.

The blind man sighed and said, "Could something happen to Fluttershy?"

Luo Lie said: "No!"
