Chapter 8 Bone Jade Lao Ding

As mentioned above, Zhou Budo was puzzled by what had happened in the previous battle, and he was indignant in his heart, and with a sword, he slashed at the clay sculpture that looked like a tripod and a furnace. After cutting the Ding Furnace, I felt something strange in my hand, and with a slight shock, the soil covering the surface of the Ding was shaken, revealing the true body of this Ding Furnace.

Zhou Budo carefully observed this bone jade old ding. The first thing that can be determined is that this is indeed a tripod. Fold along the broad margin, the curved wall is deep in the abdomen and the original bottom, the abdomen is round, and the lower bears three legs. The ears are decorated with a row of embossed fish patterns, the end of the head is connected, the outside of the ears is decorated with the embossed double tiger cannibal head pattern, and the periphery of the abdomen is decorated with gluttonous patterns, all of which are based on cloud and thunder patterns. The upper end of the foot is decorated with a relief gluttonous pattern, and the lower part is lined with a three-week concave string pattern. The ornaments and inscriptions on it have a rough style, and there is a wild and simple atmosphere under a closer look. It should be the product of three generations or even more of an era. Ding's whole body is as smooth as jade, and under the light of the fire, you can faintly see the hollow lines under it, like the bones in the human body. The text on the ding wall is simple and curved like a dragon, but it is an ancient dragon script that has been lost for a long time.

"Isn't this bone jade?" Zhou Budo recognized it at once, this is a rare old tripod carved from bone jade, or a jade tripod made of heaven and earth, ordinary bone jade, usually in the shape of human bones, because of the hard texture and special texture, it will cause damage if you are not careful when processing and carving. Only into the shape of the bone jade, the craftsman can be slightly processed, into the shape of the tripod, it is said that in the past Yu Yu water, got a piece of bone jade as big as a rhino. Hou Yu for the Son of Heaven, found the best craftsmen in the world, spent more than ten years of Chenguang, carved a tripod. It is said that at that time, carved on the three graves, five classics, eight ropes and nine hills, is the supreme protection of the country, because of its hard texture, the weight is lighter than Jiuding, easy to carry, in the heart of Xia Houqi is better than Jiuding. Later, Hou Yi seized the throne, Taikang lost the country, and it was with the power of that jade tripod that Shaokang was able to expel Han Xun and restore the world. Later, the dynasty Ding Ge, the Son of Heaven transposed, this jade tripod fell into the hands of Cheng Tang, Cheng Tang 600 years, even though there is more than internal strife, external troubles, but this jade tripod has never been lost, has been in the hands of the Tang Emperor. Until the king lost his morality and the Zhou room was prosperous, this jade tripod fell into the hands of Wu Wangfa together with Jiuding. It is also the incompetence of the descendants, when King Mu, the Son of Heaven toured the west and the east to conquer the east is not majestic, on the way to the west of the queen mother, he actually lost this Zhenguo vessel, bone and jade treasure tripod, this gave birth to the elbow and armpit change, Kun brother and brother poured into each other, the royal family declined, and the Taoist system was cut off.

Zhou Budo was a descendant of the Runan Zhou family in his previous life, the ancestor of the Runan Zhou family was the Han Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang who was named the Marquis of Ru Tomb Zhou Ren, and the Marquis of Ru Tomb was one of the three chariots of the Han Dynasty, and after the Zhou Dynasty, it was also the only family with clear hereditary lineage in the three chariots of the Han Dynasty, and it was also a rare family that retained a lot of ancient secrets. Zhou Budo naturally knew the existence of the bone jade treasure tripod, and naturally doubted whether this jade tripod was the treasure of the Zhenguo lost by the ancestors.

It's not that Zhou Budo is whimsical, this Baoding was originally lost by King Mu Tianzi's western tour, and the sea of stars where Ding Chunqiu is located is between routes!

But if it is really the old tripod made thousands of years ago, it can be eroded by thousands of years of light. To this day, it can still be so dazzling, warm and heavy, and the dragon text all over the body can still be so unflawed and blurred, just like when it was new. This is exactly what Zhou Budo was puzzled about. But if it is fake, only the princes of the clan can understand the Longwen in the Shang and Zhou dynasties, and the new nobles such as ordinary doctors' families and princes of small states do not understand this ancient script. Not to mention that the Chinese people are affiliated with farmers and witch doctors. Moreover, the text on the wall is smooth, without a sense of messiness, and at first glance it is engraved after the smooth text is written on the sand, soil and bark and other things. Looking at the strokes and calligraphy, they are also in the pre-Qin style, unlike the graffiti copied by later generations.

If it is fake, who has such patience? And why fake? Not to mention that bone jade is rare, it cannot be owned by the Son of Heaven, and after the destruction of Zhou, Emperor Qin searched all over the world and never found a few pieces of bone jade. Even if someone really finds it, dedicate the Son of Heaven, glory and wealth are at your fingertips, why bother to forge it? Forged out, ordinary people do not know, there is no way to exchange gold and silver, if you know it, you can also see the authenticity. In other words, the descendants of this jade tripod will neither nor can they forge it. When it is genuine, but if it is really true, as mentioned above, thousands of years of time, there is really no trace left on this jade tripod?

At this time, Zhou Budo suddenly remembered that the soil that wrapped the jade tripod seemed to be different from ordinary soil. He bent down and carefully picked up a piece of gravel, pinched it with his index finger and thumb, gently rolled it open, sniffed it gently, and a sweet smell wafted from Zhou Budo's nose into the cavity, Zhou Budo felt a fainting, and almost fell to the ground. Zhuo Bufan and Hu Bubei, who were standing on the side, helped him up, so that he could avoid falling to the ground.

Zhuo Bufan saw that Zhou Budo almost fell to the ground, and hurriedly asked, "Senior brother, what is this, but you want to destroy it?" Zhuo Bufan thought that this must be some kind of poisonous miasma, so he waited for Zhou Budo to give an order to destroy all these dangerous things.

How do you know that Zhou Budo said: "Senior Brother Zhuo, Senior Brother Hu, you go to the beach first, transfer all of them, the indigenous people here have all left with the old man, and the empty houses are just used for use." and lest it be in vain to cut down trees and create things. ”

"What about our fleet and the felled wood?" asked Hu Bubei. That's right, you can't do without a fleet, and the group will have to return to Middle-earth later, the vast sea, thousands of miles away, and you can't swim back.

Zhou Budo thought for a while, and said: "Order people to move all the grain and goods here, find a few reliable places, lead the fleet back to the Central Plains, and buy some silk, porcelain, pepper and other things; As for the wood, I see that the wood is thick and round, it is the best material for building the palace, tied it with ropes, dragged it behind the boat, and brought back to the Central Plains. It's just that the results of the Northern Expedition are not obvious, and they are depressed in their hearts, and they dare not touch this moldy head, and at this moment, they can only build houses in their hometowns, but in addition to the capital, where is there a huge amount of fine wood? These logs are transported back to them, and they can get great profits. ”

Zhuo Bufan asked: "Nine big ships, not one left, all go back?"

"The Daifuku ship has to be kept. The corner of Zhou Budo's right mouth curled. "If I hadn't been there, you wouldn't have been able to keep this great fortune ship. ”

"Senior brother is saying, Lin Yuantu will take back this Great Fortune Ship?" Hu Bubei's face flashed with a different color, "Lin Yuantu is a generation of heroes, he shouldn't be able to do such a thing." Why don't you follow the junior brother and take a look? If it really doesn't work, you won't go ashore in Quanzhou. To go to Hangzhou and Songjiang, there is no need to toss in Fujian. ”

Hu Bubei's thoughts are still unclear? If Hu Bubei leaves with the fleet, I am afraid that he will never return. When the time comes, Zhou Budo wants to go back, but it will be much more difficult. From here to Dagang, hundreds of miles apart, during which most of the primeval forest, uncivilized land, very dangerous, there are many primitive aborigines, Zhou Budo want to go from Dagang to the Central Plains, that really has to fight back, then I don't know how long to wait for the ships to turn back to the Central Plains.

Thinking of this, Zhou Budo's heart moved namelessly, Zhou Budo tried to control his anger, and squeezed out a smile: "This Luzon is dangerous, the foolish brother still needs the assistance of the virtuous brother, come and come, follow me to take a good look at the scenery of this mountain paradise, and let Senior Brother Zhuo go to arrange it alone?"

Zhuo Bufan also saw that something was wrong, and said, "Yes, I am enough alone." I won't bother Senior Brother Hu,"

Hu Bubei knew that his little abacus had been seen, and he no longer insisted, and forced a smile: "So good, very good." ”
