"Go up and have a look."

At this time, Yu Feibai took a look and immediately walked quickly to the stage. Seeing that Mr. Hou had no intention of stopping him, Wang Guan also called Bei Ye, and they followed him up the steps to the tables on the stage.

When a few people took a closer look, they could see that there was also an exquisite box placed on top of the cases.

"Mr. Hou, is there any treasure hidden in the box?"

Suddenly, Yu Feibai said enthusiastically: "Can you open it and take a look?"

While speaking, without waiting for Mr. Hou's reply, Yu Feibai opened the box directly. At this moment, a sparkling, brilliant and indescribably magnificent brilliance burst out from the box.

For a moment, Wang Guan and others subconsciously narrowed their eyes. It took them a while to get used to the brilliance. Then they quickly looked into the box, only to see a jade seal with a very transparent texture and as warm as snow placed in it.

.

"It looks familiar." After one glance, Yu Feibai was stunned, as if his mouth was a little dry, and he asked uncertainly: "Is it the national jade seal again?"

As the saying goes, once bitten by a snake, you will be afraid of ropes for ten years. He was full of lessons and did not dare to jump to conclusions easily.

"This is real, the real jade seal passed down from the country."

At the same time, Wang Guan's eyes showed a look of surprise and he became very sure.

"Are you sure?"

In fact, Yu Feibai also believed it, but he still wanted to confirm it.

"Nonsense, can ordinary things make a room full of glory?" Wang Guan said with a smile: "Besides, if it is not a national jade seal, is it necessary to offer it here?"

"That's right." Yu Feibai agreed: "Only the national jade seal can be worthy of such a grand occasion."

"This is both true and false."

However, at this moment, other people came up and saw Mr. Hou saying with a smile: "The purpose of building this place is not just to store the jade seal passed down from the country."

"Then what else was there?" Yu Feibai was very alert, but he heard the underlying meaning.

Mr. Hou smiled, but did not speak. He just clapped his hands gently. The crisp sound echoed in the vast space, but it was a bit loud. While Wang Guan and Yu Feibai were confused, people around the platform

The floor tiles suddenly changed. Pieces of the floor suddenly sank, and holes were exposed.

"What's going on?"

For a moment, Wang Guan and Yu Feibai were a little surprised, and they quickly looked at it. After a while, they saw something rising slowly from the hole.

"ah!"

After a short time, one thing after another appeared one after another. Yu Feibai took one look and said in surprise: "It seems to be a tripod..."

"Jiuding?"

For a moment, Wang Guan's eyes widened, filled with surprise and disbelief.

"What? Is it really Jiuding?"

Yu Feibai also came to his senses and counted them one by one, only to see that there were indeed nine large cauldrons arranged around them. The shapes of these large cauldrons were five round and square, with two ears and three legs, full of ancient clumsy colors.

At first glance, there is no difference from the bronze tripod from the Shang and Zhou dynasties. However, the bronze tripod is a bronze tripod, and the nine tripods are nine tripods. Even though they are both made of bronze, the concepts are completely different.

There are many legends about the Jiuding, but the generally accepted one is that Dayu cast the Jiuding to forever protect Kyushu.

In the early years of the Xia Dynasty, Dayu divided the world into Kyushu, and ordered the governors of Kyushu to contribute bronze and cast Jiuding. He engraved the famous mountains, rivers, and strange objects of Jiuzhou on the body of the Jiuding, using one tripod to symbolize one state, and concentrated the Jiuding in the Xia Dynasty.

Capital. In this way, Jiuzhou became synonymous with China, and Jiuding also became a symbol of the supremacy of royal power and the unity and prosperity of the country.

Having the Nine Cauldron in hand means that the world is a common master and it is in compliance with the destiny of heaven.

Therefore, after the fall of Xia, Ding moved to Shang, and after the fall of Shang, Ding moved to Zhou. However, during the Spring and Autumn Period, with the decline of the royal power of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, powerful princes began to covet Jiuding.

Especially the King of Chuzhuang, one of the five hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period, became famous after three years of silence. He implemented reforms rigorously, made the country rich and powerful, and his troops approached the capital of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. He also blatantly sent people to ask about the size of the nine tripods.

From this, we can also know the ambition of King Chuzhuang to replace the Zhou royal family and become the common master of the world. From that time on, later generations began to seize the country, which is generally called aspiration to dominate the world.

However, the wish of King Chuzhuang was not realized, and the Zhou royal family reluctantly maintained Jiuding. However, during the Warring States Period, there were records of Qin Qi seeking a tripod in historical materials. However, due to mutual checks and balances between the two countries, it did not succeed.

After that, the whereabouts of Jiuding became a historical mystery.

Some people say that when Qin annexed the six kingdoms, Lu Buwei destroyed Zhou and brought Jiuding back to Xianyang. But others said that Jiuding had disappeared before Qin destroyed Zhou.

Another theory is that during the decline of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the royal family no longer had the power to protect Jiuding. However, during the Warring States Period, various powerful vassal states were eyeing it, trying to unify the Central Plains and replace it with the Zhou Dynasty.

Under such circumstances, the Zhou royal family saw that the matter must be violated, so they simply threw the Jiuding into the river. Therefore, during the reign of Qin Shihuang, there is also a record in the history books that Qin Shihuang sent people to swim to salvage the Jiuding.

Of course, later generations of historians also put forward a novel point of view based on the financial situation of the Zhou royal family at that time. They felt that the finances of the Zhou royal family had collapsed at that time, with high debts and unable to make ends meet, so they destroyed Jiuding to make copper coins, and falsely claimed that Jiuding was no longer known to the outside world.

Where to go, lest the vassal states raise their troops and come to seek the throne.

However, although this guess has some truth, it cannot be confirmed by any historical data and is not convincing. Therefore, everyone still has different opinions on the whereabouts of Jiuding.

From the beginning of summer to the weekend, for about two thousand years, Jiuding has been passed down in an orderly manner, but it suddenly disappeared at the end of the Warring States Period. This has always been a very regrettable thing. But at this moment, Jiuding suddenly appeared in front of him.

No wonder Wang Guan and Yu Feibai were shocked and eager to know whether it was true or false.

While speaking, Mr. Hou chuckled and asked: "Do you think it is true or false?"

"Of course we hope it's true." Yu Feibai said, not caring about admiring the imperial seal, but hurriedly walked down the steps and approached a big tripod to observe.

Wang Guan did not lag behind, and naturally walked to the other big tripod to look at it. But after looking at it for a moment, he was slightly startled: "This doesn't seem to be the legendary Jiuding."

"What did you find?" Yu Feibai ran over quickly.

"You see there is an inscription here..."

At this time, Wang Guan read softly: "Xinong first came out, Xuan Hao was in the Ying period... Shangxuan sent down the warning, and then Longji was built."

"This is Wu Zetian's song of dragging the tripod." At the same time, Wang Guan suddenly said: "This is not the Nine tripods of Dayu, but the Nine tripods made by Wu Zetian in the Tang Dynasty."

You must know that after the Jiuding disappeared, later emperors also recast the Jiuding. The most famous ones were those made by Wu Zetian of the Tang Dynasty and Zhao Ji, Huizong of the Song Dynasty.

The tripod is a symbol of power, and Wu Zetian is the empress. This aspect is more important. It is very normal to cast the tripod to stabilize power. As for Song Huizong, he recast the tripod purely out of the desire to achieve great success.

Not only these two people, it is said that during the Republic of China, someone also made a Jiuding for Jiang Gong. However, after Jiang Gong retreated to Taiwan, the whereabouts of the Jiuding during the Republic of China were also unknown.

In any case, Wang Guan and Yu Feibai were a little happy to discover that the thing was actually a Jiuding from the Tang Dynasty, but more of it was disappointing. After all, the imitations were not genuine, and their meanings were naturally very different, and there was no way to compare them.

"Wang Guan, you can't generalize when you look at things."

At this moment, Mr. Qian next to him smiled and said: "This is just the Jiuding of the Tang Dynasty, it doesn't mean that it is the same for others."

"What?" Wang Guan was stunned, and then he realized what he was doing. He immediately put down the big cauldron in front of him and continued to observe. After careful identification, he found that these nine big cauldrons were really a mixed bag. Not only the Tang cauldron, but also the Tang cauldron.

Song tripods, even the big tripods from the Republic of China period, as well as things cast in modern times.

But among the nine cauldrons mixed with fish and dragons, there was a large cauldron with a deep luster and a very obvious ancient and clumsy aura. When Wang looked at it, he felt his heart beating, his blood boiling, and his mood was very exciting.

"This is……"

At this time, Wang Guan carefully observed the cauldron and even reached out to touch the faint inscriptions on the cauldron to feel the vicissitudes of time. There was a strong feeling telling him that this should be the real Jiuding, cast by Dayu.

one.

This big cauldron does not have a magnificent appearance, nor does it have any resplendent light. It is just very simple and simple, and even the inscriptions are very dull and blurry. However, it is something like this that makes Wang Guan very excited.

Suddenly I felt the urge to worship.

At this moment, Mr. Qian chuckled and asked, "Isn't the stuff good?"

"It's not just good, it's simply a sacred artifact of the country!" Wang Guan admired sincerely. He felt the inheritance of Chinese civilization in the cauldron. The cultural accumulation of thousands of years certainly made him feel that things are as heavy as Mount Tai.

"In this case, are you interested in getting it all together?" Mr. Qian smiled brightly: "You have also seen that it is said to be Jiuding, but actually only one is real, and the other eight are just make-up. Don't you want to find out the real ones?

?”

"Gather enough Jiuding?"

For a moment, Wang Guan was stunned. After a while, he suddenly showed a bright smile: "It seems very interesting, then... I can give it a try..."

"Oh, why am I missing from such a challenging mission?" Yu Feibai shouted: "Wang Guan, the final battle is coming. I want to compete with you to see who finds Jiuding first or who finds it first.

There are many nine tripods.”

"It's a competition, whoever is afraid of whom." Wang Guan chuckled and said: "But you have to think carefully, this is a lifelong matter, I'm afraid you don't have the patience..."

"Tch, look down on me, I want to prove it to you..."

In Yu Feibai's confident voice, Mr. Qian and others also showed happy smiles. Young people should have such vigor and ambition, otherwise how can they write a splendid chapter.

Talented people emerge from generation to generation, and a new generation is better than the old.
