Volume 2 Who Masters the Ups and Downs Chapter 115 The Great Ship
Gongsun He originally came for Chi You Dao and Xing Tianqi, but he didn't expect to inadvertently save Lu Mao Shou, and after learning that Lu Mao Shou was a master of will, he asked Lu Mao Shou to help seize Jiuding. Lu Maoshou knew that he couldn't stay in Chu anymore, and wanted to return to Zhao to join Li Dui, but when he learned that Gongsun He had the intention of seeking Jiuding, he agreed to him.
Gongsun He took Poor Cicada, Cang Shu, Lu Maoshou and others to Bolangsha to find the head of Dashimen, Da Li, and asked Da Li to seize Jiuding with them. After learning that several people were coming, Dali said to Gongsun He:
"The old people of the nine clans have been separated for a long time, and they can be found one by one?"
"There is still a lack of the three clans of the Father Spear, the Wind Queen's Sword, and the Female Whip!" replied Gongsun He.
"Where are these three clans now? Zunjia won't know, right?" said vigorously.
"The Kuafu clan has disappeared for a long time and has not been heard from for hundreds of years; the Wind Queen clan has long since changed its name to the Seven Star Sword Sect, and the descendants don't know the past; the Nulu clan has been divided into two, and now it is divided into the Vulcan Sect and the Materia Medica, which has long been unrecognizable!" Gongsun He said.
The Seven Star Sword, the Vulcan Sect and the Materia Medica, which Gongsun He mentioned, were none other than the three Yu Shan, Yan Lu and Thorn who were with the Nine Heavens Xuannu and others when Ling Junzi was in Yunmengze in the past.
"Although my Da Shi Sect is after Ying Long, I don't ask about the old things, I'm afraid I won't be able to help you!"
"Hehe, hey, the head of the family is working hard, and he really doesn't want to bring up the old things again, and he doesn't force them!" Gongsun He replied with a sneer.
"The head wants to know the secret of Jiuding, right?" Lu Maoshou suddenly asked.
Vigorously startled, he looked at Lu Mao Shoudao:
"It's you!"
Lu Maoshou was silent, and said vigorously:
"If you can tell what the secret of Jiuding is, I will go with you!"
"The purpose of taking the tripod is to unlock the secret, if you don't take it, how can you know?" Gongsun He said.
"Jiuding is there, what is the difference between taking it and not taking it?"
"Nature is different!" said Gongsun He.
"Even if you take Jiuding, where will you move?" Vigorously.
"Things return to their original owners, and the heavens appear!" Gongsun Crane said.
After thinking for a while, he said:
"I promise you!"
On that day, Gongsun He and others traveled all the way east from Bolangsha, and arrived at a village by the East China Sea two days later. The group found a fisherman in the village, ate something at the fisherman's house, and then followed the fisherman to the beach. A few people got into a small fishing boat, and in less than an hour, they saw a small island in the distance, and a moment later, a large boat appeared in front of them.
Dali Zhen and the others had never seen such a big ship, and the big ship was getting closer and closer, and everyone was puzzled. After a while, the small boat docked near the big boat, and everyone stared at the big boat and sighed.
A person holding a big shovel saw Gongsun He happily greeted him and said:
"Dao Chief, the ship is ready!"
"Where's Gong's attendance?" asked Gongsun He.
"There!" the man said, gesturing to the boat.
Gongsun He looked in the direction of his finger, and there was an old man and a young man, a tall and a short two people looking at them on the boat.
"Get on board!" said Gongsun He.
When he saw that the man was using the Admiralty Shovel, he thought: I am afraid that this man is the descendant of the Great Hung Shovel, right? Everyone followed Gongsun He one by one to the boat, looked around the boat, and was full of praise. It was very strange to find that there was a small boat in the cabin of the big ship, and there were still four wheels on the small boat. Gongsun He led everyone to the deck, and Dali saw from a distance that it was Lu Zhonglian who was following Gong Yingqin, and he was secretly shocked. Lu Zhong was even more surprised when he saw Dalizhen, and found that Dali Zhen pretended not to know him, so he didn't recognize him.
"This is Mr. Gongyi!" Gongsun He introduced to Lu Maoshou and the others.
"How's my ship going?" said Gong Qinqin proudly.
"Unique!" said Gongsun He.
"Why is there a small boat on the big ship?" said Dali.
"It's called a mother-son ship. There is no one else in the world who can build this ship but my master!" Lu Zhonglian replied deliberately and proudly.
"If it's a ship, why are there wheels?" said vigorously.
"That's for dry land sailing!" Lu Zhong said.
"Please arrange for the Taoist to go into the water, and my public should also leave!"
"Don't worry, I won't kill you!" Gongsun Crane said.
"Hmph, I'm an old bone, it's okay if you want it!" Gong Qin said coldly, and after speaking, he took his apprentice Lu Zhonglian off the boat.
"The descendants of the Great Hung Shovel have seen you!" said the man with the Admiralty Shovel to Dali Zhen and the others. Dali, Lu Maoshou and others immediately introduced themselves to Bald Yue one by one.
Everyone got off the boat, and Lu Zhonglian saw Dali Zhen and asked in a low voice:
"Why is the head here?"
"It's a long story, it's inconvenient to talk about it at this time, they built a ship to transport Jiuding! The Jiuding artifact hides a great secret, once the artifact is used by the villain, the world will be in chaos!"
"So what?"
"I don't know how!" said Dali, shaking his head.
"Let's see, if you can get out, when you return to Linzi, you can discuss with Su Zi and see if he has a plan!"
Gongsun He had already thought of a countermeasure to seize Jiuding, and he coerced Gongximen to build a ship for him, just to ship Jiuding. At this time, the public service was almost old, and in his later years, he was particularly obsessed with shipbuilding, and he had just gotten "Missing a Gate" from the Mo family Optimus Pillar, and he was trying to build a big ship, but he didn't expect to build a ship in this situation. Gongsun He wanted to transport the nine huge gods out of the Central Plains Dynasty, which was naturally not easy, so he thought of the way to transport them, and naturally thought of Lubanmen. The people of Lubanmen are not good at martial arts, and Gongsun Qin knows that Gongsun He is powerful, and he can only agree for the safety of the gatekeepers, so he took the men to the seaside island to build a ship for Gongsun He. Despite being coerced, Gong Chuan was equally happy to do so, and it took less than three years to build a large ship that had never been seen before, and it was also a unique ship. Lu Zhonglian was not among them when Gong Chengqin landed on the island for the first time, but Lu Zhonglian couldn't rest assured because of his master's old age, so he went all the way to the island and accompanied his master to build a ship.
A few days later, the big boat was launched, and Gongsun He released the Lubanmen people, found many boatmen and laborers, and led everyone to the mouth of the Yellow River in the big boat. The big boat uses human paddle as the main power, and the pedal paddle wheel as the second power. At this time, it was already autumn, and the lower reaches of the Yellow River were just sailing, but as soon as the big boat entered the river, it was still difficult and slow to sail upstream.
Lu Zhonglian hurriedly returned to Linzi from the island, went straight to Su Qin's mansion, and told Su Qin everything. Su Qin said after hearing this:
"Although I know a thing or two about Jiuding's secrets, it is also hearsay. In the past, the king of Qi won the crown, but somehow put the artifact in Shangqiu halfway, and I have always been puzzled about this matter. Regarding Jiuding, there is a person who knows the past, or you can ask him!"
"Who?"
Zhuangzi knew the secrets, and Song Yu had a good relationship with him. It's a little difficult to find Zhuangzi now, but Song Zi is in the Xue Palace, let's go and ask him!"
"Good!"
The two hurried to the Jixia School Palace and found Song Yu. At this time, Song Yu was already old and did not care about the world, but only retired in a small courtyard in the school palace. Su Qin asked Song Yu about Jiuding, and Song Yu, who was originally in a daze, suddenly opened his eyes, cheered up, and slowly said to the two:
"More than 20 years ago, I had a discussion with Zhuangzi, and he said: 'The world often knows it but does not know why it is, and there is a saying that those who have Jiuding can win the world, and the Taoist chief can know why it is?' I replied: 'Although Jiuding is a symbol of power in the world, it cannot be said that if you can get Jiuding, you can really win the world!' Zhuangzi smiled and said: 'Are you a scholar or a Taoist?' I asked rhetorically that the Zhou royal family had obtained Jiuding and declined, and Zhuangzi said: 'The Zhou royal family did not really get Jiuding, and the person who got Jiuding was Jiang Taigong Lu Shang!' I was puzzled, Zhuangzi said: "The Zhou royal family only got the sacrificial utensils, but Jiang Taigong got the essence of Jiuding!" I was not convinced and said: "Then Jiang Taigong didn't get the world either!" Zhuangzi said: "That's because he doesn't want to take the world, if he wants to take it, the world is at his fingertips!"
"Chu Guobu Yin Gande, that is also a master!" Su Qin said.
"As soon as Gander entered the door, he said that what Zhuang Zhou said was true, I was not convinced, but Gander said that in about a hundred years, Jiuding will be obtained by the descendants of the Lu family, and the world will also belong to the Lu family!"
"The world belongs to the Lu clan? There is no one in power in the Lu clan among the princes and dynasties today! Who in the Lu clan can win the world?" Su Qin said in surprise.
"Jiang Taigong doesn't take the world, does he know that his descendants will get the world in a few hundred years?"
"I heard that Daoist Gander can predict the heavens, could it be that he divined and learned that Jiuding and the world will belong to the Lu clan?" asked Su Qin.
"Gander has his own opinions, think about it again, the most critical issue in this!" Song Yu said.
"The essence of Jiuding! Speaking of which, it is still the essence of Jiuding! Whatever Zhuangzi and Gander say, it is all related to the essence of Jiuding, which is also the reason why we came to consult Mr. today!" Lu Zhong said.
According to Zhuangzi, Jiuding is not just what it seems. According to Gander, since he can predict the heavenly opportunity, he must rely on it, and what he relies on may also be the essence of Jiuding, but how can he predict what will happen eight hundred years later?"
"Since it is a heavenly opportunity, how can ordinary people understand it!" Song Yu said.
"This is also what Zhuangzi said, 'I know it but I don't know why'!" Su Qin said.
"If you know the essence of Jiuding, maybe you will be able to penetrate the heavens!" Lu Zhong said.
Zhuangzi shook his head and said, "I can't say for sure!" When I read the Yellow Emperor's "Returning to the Tibetan Scriptures", I found that the Yellow Emperor left a huge fortune to his descendants, and this wealth was hidden in the Jiuding!" Song Yu said.
"If the Yellow Emperor really has any huge wealth left, it is naturally not a lot of jewelry. Zhuangzi said that wealth is hidden in Jiuding, that is to say, whoever cracks the essence of Jiuding will be able to get this wealth?" Lu Zhong said.
"In this way, Jiang Taigong should know the essence of Jiuding! But what kind of wealth is in Jiuding? Didn't Jiang Taigong keep it for himself, but left it to his descendants? How did he know that after 800 years, it must be his descendants who will get Jiuding?" Su Qin wondered.
"Now that someone has come to win Jiuding, could it be that there is someone surnamed Lu among them, or is it the descendants of Jiang Taigong who asked them to take the Ding?" Lu Zhonglian doubted.
"These people are misbehaving, how can they be the descendants of the Taigong? Besides, what Daoist Gande said is also in a few decades, if there is a certain number in the sky and Jiuding is in the hands of the Lu family, these villains will not succeed!" Su Qin said.
"We must not believe the words of the number of days, nor can we believe them all! We act solely on the basis of the situation at the time and the standard of our actions, and do not need to think too much about the number of heavens!" Song Yu said.
"What the gentleman said is true, you go on!" Su Qin said.
Zhuangzi said that the greatest wealth in the world is wisdom, he believes that the Yellow Emperor can make characters, guide his wife and ancestors to raise silkworms and weave silk, invent locomotives, create grains, calculate the calendar, study music and pharmacology, etc., all this is almost impossible to complete in ancient times, his wisdom is far beyond ordinary people, almost immortals, itself is a secret, so the wealth he hides in the Jiuding is wisdom! I said that I read the "Yellow Emperor's Outer Classics", the Yellow Emperor descended the dragon and subdued the tiger, killed Chiyou, and pacified the sea, because he had great power. Under the reminder of Daoist Gande, I carefully looked at the shape of the quadruped square tripod, which was indeed composed of ten mouths. Ten mouths are ancient, connected into a plate, it is for Pangu, but it implies that Jiuding hides the power of Pangu! Therefore, I think the secret hidden in Jiuding should be related to power. Zhuangzi thought that those who possessed wisdom would win the world, and I thought that those who possessed strength would win the world! When the two of us were arguing, Gander laughed: 'You are all wrong!' His remarks are shocking, and I will never forget them until I die!" Song Yu said that he raised his voice and shouted loudly, and then stopped.
Su Qin and Lu Zhonglian listened attentively, and suddenly Song Yu stopped talking, and the two of them saw that he was fascinated, thinking that he was too old to say that he couldn't move, so they waited quietly for a while. Sure enough, after a while, Song Yu's eyes lit up, and he cheered up and continued:
"Gander said: 'I have studied the Book of Hetuluo for many years, and it was Fu Xi who passed this book on to the Yellow Emperor, and the Yellow Emperor had superhuman wisdom; to say that the Yellow Emperor himself has any strength, it is nonsense, he is just a dragon, so no matter the wisdom and strength of the Yellow Emperor, it is nothing!' He denied the two of us in one sentence, and then he asked: 'You say that no matter how high the Yellow Emperor's wisdom is, he can be higher than Fu Xi? No matter how powerful his dragon is, it can be more powerful than Fu Xi's?' No matter how wisdom or strength is, in the final analysis, there is only one person, and this person is Nuwa Niangniang! Without Nuwa Niangniang, he Fuxi is not so powerful!'Do you know where Niangniang is powerful?' Song Yu suddenly looked at the two and asked.
"Legend has it that the people in this world are all made by Nuwa Niangniang, and she can also refine stones to make up the sky, of course she is amazing!" Lu Zhong said.
"Nuwa Niangniang already had 'people' before, how can she say that all the 'people' in this world were made by her? How could the sky be broken? Why does she want to refine stones to make up for the sky?" Song Yulian asked.
"Maybe it's just an ancient legend, it may not be true!" Lu Zhong said.
"Legends are often shadows of reality, and over time, those distant facts become legends. Niangniang created people because she created a completely new person with wisdom, not a chaotic and ignorant ancient person who drank blood! Nuwa Niangniang can not only create people, but also create a species like Kunpeng! Without Nuwa Niangniang, there would be no Xihuang who has been praised through the ages! Nuwa Niangniang gave her skills to Fuxi and passed them on to the Yellow Emperor, so Nuwa Niangniang's ability to create man-made objects is the biggest secret! As for Nuwa Niangniang's refining stones to make up for the sky, Gander thinks that Nuwa Niangniang is not a mortal thing in the world, but from the sky, she came from the sky, and the mending of the sky is to block the traces of her landing in the mortal world, or it is related to the opening of the heavens by Pangu!" Song Yu said.
"This remark is really incredible!" Su Qin sighed.
"I see! Gander means that before Nuwa Niangniang, people were just ignorant savages, and after Nuwa Niangniang, people became wise, so we have wisdom today! The Yellow Emperor got the "Hetuluo Book", and also obtained the skills of Fuxi and Nuwa Niangniang, maybe only a part, but even if it was just a little, it was enough for him to calm the sea and dominate the world!" Lu Zhong said.
"So Gander thinks that whether it is the wealth hidden in Jiuding or the secret, it may be Nuwa Niangniang's ability to create artificial objects, or it may tell the world where Nuwa Niangniang comes from? Song Yu said.
"Zhuangzi thinks that the essence of Jiuding is related to wisdom, Mr. thinks it is related to strength, and Daoist Gander thinks it is related to Nuwa Niangniang, although there are some differences, but they are definitely related to Jiuding, why is this?" asked Su Qin.
"The two of us deduced from the records in the ancient books, and Gander judged from the statue of Nuwa Niangniang in the body of Jiuding, and besides, the only thing that the Yellow Emperor passed down to the world can be determined! Jiuding was originally in the hands of the nine clans of Kyushu, if it is not a major secret, how can it be controlled by the nine clans? If the nine clans are united, the world is stable, and if the nine clans are centrifugal, this secret will be sealed forever, and this is the wisdom of the Yellow Emperor!" Song Yu said.
