    "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 Baye, and together they walked up the steps and came to the table next to the cases.

    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?"

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

    While speaking, Yu Feibai opened the box without waiting for Mr. Hou's reply.  It was at this moment that a sparkle of crystal-clear, 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 dry and his tongue 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 well ropes for ten years."  He is full of lessons learned and dare not 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 surprise and he was 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.  Others came up and saw Mr. Hou smiling and saying: "The purpose of building this place like this is not just to store the jade seal passed down from the country."

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

    Mr. Hou smiled, but did not speak, just clapped his hands gently.  The crisp sound echoed in the empty space, but it was a bit loud.  Just when Wang Guan and Yu Feibai were confused, the floor tiles around the platform suddenly changed, and pieces of the floor suddenly sank.  Then holes were exposed.

    "what happened?"

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

    "ah!"

    Time is short, and one thing after another emerges.  Yu Feibai took one look and was very surprised and said: "It seems to be a tripod"

    "Jiuding?"

    In an instant, 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. He saw that there were indeed nine cauldrons arranged around him.  The shapes of these large tripods are five circles and four squares.  Two ears and three legs, full of ancient clumsiness.

    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 Jiuding, but it is generally accepted that Dayu cast the Jiuding to forever protect Kyushu.

    In the early years of the Xia Dynasty, Dayu divided the world into nine states.  The governor of Jiuzhou was ordered to contribute bronze and cast the Jiuding.  The famous mountains, rivers, and strange objects of the nine states across the country were engraved on the body of the nine tripods, one tripod symbolized one state, and the nine tripods were concentrated in the capital of the Xia Dynasty.  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 Cauldrons in hand means that the world is the common master and it is in compliance with the destiny of heaven.

    So 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 family in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, powerful princes began to covet Jiuding.

    Especially King Chuzhuang, one of the Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period, became a blockbuster after being silent for three years.  Strictly carrying out reforms, the country became rich and the army was strong. The troops approached the capital of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and they blatantly sent people to ask about the size of Jiuding.

    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 onwards, when later generations conquered the country, they would generally call it the aspiration to dominate the world.

    However, the wish of King Chuzhuang was not realized, and the Zhou royal family reluctantly maintained the Nine Tripods. However, during the Warring States Period, there are records of Qin Qi's request for tripods in historical materials.  However, due to mutual checks and balances between the two countries, it did not succeed.

    After that, the whereabouts of Jiuding becameIt's a historical mystery.

    Some people say that during the process of Qin's annexation of the six kingdoms, Lu Buwei destroyed Zhou and took Jiuding back to Xianyang.  But some people say that Jiuding had disappeared before Qin destroyed Zhou.

    There is another saying that in the process of decline of the Eastern Zhou royal family, it no longer has the power to protect Jiuding.  However, during the Warring States Period, various powerful vassal states were eyeing the Central Plains, trying to unify the Central Plains and replace the Zhou Dynasty.

    In this case, the Zhou royal family saw that the matter must be violated, so they simply threw the Jiuding into the river with a cruel heart.  Therefore, during the reign of Qin Shihuang, there are also records in history books that Qin Shihuang sent people to swim to salvage Jiuding.

    Of course, later 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 the Jiuding to cast copper coins, and falsely claimed that the Jiuding had disappeared to prevent the princes from raising troops to claim the title.

    However, although this guess has some truth, it cannot be confirmed by any historical data, which makes it unconvincing.  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, they suddenly saw Jiuding in front of them. 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 jade seal passed down from the country, 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 cauldron 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 came out for the first time, Xuanhao Yingqi Shangxuan surrendered, and then Longji was built."

    "This is Wu Zetian's tripod song." 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 among them are the Jiuding 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, so this aspect is more important. It is very normal to cast Jiuding to stabilize power.  As for Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, he recast the Nine Tripods entirely out of a desire for great success.

    Not only these two people, it is said that during the Republic of China, someone also cast a Jiuding as a tribute to Duke Jiang. However, after Jiang Gong retreated to Taiwan, the whereabouts of the Nine Tripods of the Republic of China were also unknown.

    No matter what, Wang Guan and Yu Feibai were a little happy to find that the thing was actually a Jiuding from the Tang Dynasty, but they were more disappointed.  After all, the imitations are not genuine, and their meanings are naturally so different that there is no way to compare them.

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

    At this moment, Mr. Qian next to him smiled and said: "This is just the Jiuding of the Tang Dynasty, it does not mean that the others are too."

    "What?" Wang Guan was stunned for a moment, and then he realized what he was doing. He immediately put down the cauldron in front of him and continued to observe.  After careful identification, he found that these nine cauldrons were really a mixed bag.  There are not only Tang dings, but also Song dings, and even large tripods from the Republic of China period, as well as modern castings.

    "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 pounding, 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 looming inscriptions on the cauldron to feel the vicissitudes of time in it.  There was a strong feeling telling him that this should be the real Jiuding, one of the Jiuding forged by Dayu.

    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 dim and blurry.  However, it was something like this that made Wang Guan very excited and excited, and suddenly he had the urge to worship him.

    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 that case, are you interested in getting it together?" Mr. Qian smiled broadly: "You have also seen that it is said to be Jiuding, but actually only one is real, and the otherThe other eight are just a make-up, don¡¯t you want to find out the real ones?  "

    "Gather together nine tripods?"

    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 Jiuding.¡±

    "Let's compete, 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, you're looking 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.

    There are talented people from generation to generation, and a new generation is better than the old one.

    It would be great to have a successor!
