Chapter 2420 Controlling the Tripod
"Yu collected the gold from the nine herdsmen and cast nine tripods. Five of them corresponded to the Yang method, and four corresponded to the Yin number. He ordered the craftsmen to use the female gold to make the Yin tripod and the male gold to make the Yang tripod. The tripods were always full to predict the weather!"

His body was constantly pulled into the Qingzhou Cauldron by the gray mist that was being swallowed and exhaled by the cauldron. His Majesty howled for a long time in this dark cauldron.

He called to the sky and the earth, but no one answered.

This is indeed a formation within a formation. The formation has no striking power, but is only used to isolate the aura emitted by the Qingzhou Ding.

Your Majesty also ignored this isolation in the darkness, and his attention was even attracted by the master of the human figurines.

Compared to Yang Duanhe who was able to inflict trauma on him, these human terracotta masters were inferior in strength and were constantly defeated by him.

If he could go back in time, His Majesty felt that he would rather fight these half-dead terracotta warriors head-on than show off his physical skills to dodge.

All his troubles stemmed from this instinctive avoidance.

Unknowingly, His Majesty approached the Qingzhou Ding in the darkness.

"Isn't it possible to get close to this tripod?"

Zhang Xuezhou shouted to His Majesty, and then quickly kept a certain distance from the giant tripod.

Your Majesty's trouble did not come from being killed by the two human figurines holding swords and long spears. What really put Your Majesty in danger was this giant three-legged tripod.

Zhang Xuezhou once washed his body under the Yuzhou Cauldron, which cleared all the bad luck in his body. He didn't expect that this huge cauldron would also be very risky. Even a top master like Zun Shang would be unable to extricate himself if he fell into it.

His Majesty spoke quickly and Zhang Xuezhou felt that this narration was of no use at all.

"How far do I have to stay to avoid being sucked into this tripod?" Zhang Xuezhou shouted.

"My Lord... the numbers of yin and yang that I mentioned are for you to identify the tripod," said the Lord with a painful look on his face.

"and then?"

"This tripod is often filled with sacrificial offerings, so it can be used to predict the fortunes of the nine provinces in the world!"

"Were you sacrificed by this tripod?"

"See if you can interrupt the sacrifice of Qingzhou Ding!"

A trace of despair appeared on His Majesty's dragon head.

Zhang Xuezhou is a fortune teller, not a priest. He knows the art of locating a tomb but not the methods of sacrifice.

But Your Majesty can only ask Zhang Xuezhou for help here.

He had been imprisoned by the power of the Qingzhou Ding for several hours. His essence, energy, spirit, and body were all locked up, making it difficult for him to escape. His ability to travel between the real and virtual space was difficult to release. Even the information from the Great Wilderness Creation Sutra could not be transmitted. His huge body, which was a hundred feet long, had been suppressed to only thirty feet, and his body was getting smaller and smaller.

There is not much time left. If he is unable to keep his body steady, he will be swallowed up by the Qingzhou Ding along with his skin, flesh, and soul, and will become the object inside the cauldron.

Your Majesty originally came here to look for the blood of the Ancestral Dragon that was buried with the Qin Emperor. He never knew that he would encounter such a situation.

He was not the only top monster who died in the Qingzhou Cauldron. As a top-level magical weapon that once suppressed Jiuzhou, this giant cauldron had buried too many monsters and too many tears of monsters in the past.

His Majesty's eyes swept across the dragon, phoenix and Taotie patterns that appeared on the Qingzhou Ding. He tried hard not to look at the gray mist rising and falling from the Qingzhou Ding, lest he see the images of these once powerful monsters in the gray mist, and lest he lose his mind and be drawn into it, eventually turning into an inscription on the Qingzhou Ding.

“I don’t understand sacrifice!”

Zhang Xuezhou looked at the terracotta general who was leaping high with his long spear raised, and then looked at the terracotta general who was wielding a sword and chopping at the body of the Lord.

Lacking Yang Duanhe's top-level strength and the dragon-scale sword that can restrain the dragon's body, the damage these two terracotta warriors can cause to His Majesty is extremely limited, and can only cause spots of holes to appear on His Majesty's scales.

During the time that His Majesty was trapped in the Qingzhou Ding, the two terracotta warriors might have been chopping mechanically for several hours.

Seeing that the two terracotta generals ignored him, Zhang Xuezhou moved closer.

The bronze chariot served as an identification device. The two surviving terracotta warriors obviously did not regard him as an intruder, allowing Zhang Xuezhou to pass more safely towards the Qingzhou Ding.

After observing with the Golden Crow Feather, Zhang Xuezhou felt he had no idea where to start. "Do you have any method for performing sacrifices?"

As long as it doesn't mean he will die, Zhang Xuezhou will assist His Majesty to the best of his ability.

This is not to say that Zhang Xuezhou took advantage of the danger that his Lord was in to try to please the other party, but without his Lord to guide him through reality and illusion, it would be difficult for Zhang Xuezhou to leave here.

If it had nothing to do with him, he wouldn't have gotten so close to something so risky.

It is difficult for ordinary people to have a sufficient understanding of the danger of Qingzhou Ding. Zhang Xuezhou felt that it was like an ordinary person facing an energized transformer, while Your Excellency was the person who was electrocuted on the transformer, but because the shock time was short, he still had a breath of life left.

The next thing Zhang Xuezhou had to do was to offer sacrifices (cut off the power) in order to rescue the wounded.

He cried out, which made His Majesty also embarrassed.

"Among the Nine Cauldrons, there are five Yang Cauldrons and four Yin Cauldrons. If you can use your magic power to attract the Yin and Yang in the cauldrons, you may be able to accept the sacrifice and release me!"

His Majesty called out.

He had previously always called himself "my master", but now he no longer had that sense of superiority.

His Majesty also understood what Zhang Xuezhou understood. He knew very well that if he was in trouble, Zhang Xuezhou would be in the same boat with him.

And Zhang Xuezhou would not gain any benefit from being in trouble. Without the acupuncture point-fixing technique to suppress it, once the formation here is restarted, Your Majesty would also be trapped in this great formation of mountains and rivers and unable to escape.

They gain different interests, but they cannot do without each other when facing life and death.

At this time, His Majesty was also trying his best to recall the past and guiding Zhang Xuezhou to adopt possible solutions.

"Thousands of years ago, the creations of the practitioners were extremely simple, and their extension is extremely limited. The Qingzhou Ding is a three-legged tripod, and the directions for sacrifice are only the middle and center of the three legs. The possibilities of these combinations are limited. You can try to find the rules one by one." The Lord's face showed pain and said: "The safest person in the sacrificial ceremony is the priest. Even if there is a mistake, it is just that the sacrifice is ineffective, and it will not suck you into the tripod and endanger your life!"

"Just use some magic power to find the rules for the operation of the Qingzhou Ding, right?"

Zhang Xuezhou asked, but His Majesty did not respond.

Obviously, for Zhang Xuezhou, it was just a matter of a few magical powers, but since it was related to the life of His Majesty, it was difficult for him to be sure.

Although he was relieved that Zhang Xuezhou's attempt was very low in danger, His Majesty himself was actually very nervous.

"If I had known he was useful, I would have treated him better and helped him excavate this place!"

There are no rules in the spiritual world, but there are unspoken rules.

If the Taoist Lord were here, Your Majesty would naturally explore with him.

The reason for this is very simple. It is simply that the Taoist has the cultivation strength that is respected by His Majesty.

It can be said that cultivation strength has become an unspoken rule. Zhang Xuezhou does not have the same cultivation strength as the Lord, so the Lord will treat Zhang Xuezhou as a junior. Even if he is open-minded and Zhang Xuezhou is useful, this subconscious thought will have an impact, resulting in different treatment when doing things.
Seeing Zhang Xuezhou driving the bronze chariot, and the Qin Dynasty terracotta warriors without any ability to distinguish, and safely entering under the three legs of the Qingzhou Ding, His Majesty felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife.

A magical power rose up and sank into the Qingzhou Ding, and His Majesty's heart trembled.

The second magical power floated into the air again, and then the third magical power.

When Zhang Xuezhou drove the bronze chariot to step on the middle point of the three legs to release magic power and finally entered the center position, His Majesty's heart began to beat violently.

A magical power with a purple aura floated in the air, and His Majesty only felt that the pulling force in the Qingzhou Ding was increasing rapidly.

As the magic power in his body leaked out crazily, his body, which was perched on the Qingzhou Ding, had to shrink again.

“Wrong…wrong!”

His Majesty’s scalp tingled, but he was not anxious despite the crisis. Instead, he was filled with joy that he could escape from Qingzhou Ding.

Zhang Xuezhou tried and failed, but this simple method of exerting mana traction also proved that it could have a real impact on the Qingzhou Ding.

Once Zhang Xuezhou succeeds in his attempt, he may be able to get relief from it.
