Zhang Zhiwei was thinking about it, and it was also what Meng Fan had always been worried about.

If the Nine Cauldrons and Five Statues are not within the scope of Shenzhou, it would be extremely difficult to find them, not to mention that they may have been destroyed long ago.

Meng Fan narrowed his eyes, walked out of the office, looked up at the sky, and thought to himself: "Who knows, in order to eliminate the threat, that person deliberately arranged for the Nine Cauldrons and Five Statues to be destroyed so that they can never see the light of day."

Meng Fan sighed and turned to look at Zhang Zhiwei.

"Take me to see the three bronze tripods you found!"

After arriving at the underground treasure house of Division 139.

In the empty square, what comes into view are three large bronze tripods of different shapes.

Meng Fan walked forward and touched the three bronze tripods, running his fingers lightly across them, feeling their vicissitudes and heaviness.

Then, his tone seemed to be filled with memories, and he said quietly: "Back then, King Yu cast nine tripods. Five of them were made to correspond to the yang method, and four were made to represent the yin number. He ordered the craftsmen to use female gold as the yin tripod and male gold as the yang tripod. The tripods were always full to predict the weather."

"During the reign of King Jie of Xia, the water in the tripod suddenly boiled. At the end of the Zhou Dynasty, the nine tripods shook. These were all signs of destruction. Later sages followed the example of King Yu and cast tripods from generation to generation."

The Nine Cauldrons were revered as a national treasure symbolizing state power by the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties. During the Warring States Period, both Qin and Chu sent troops to the Zhou capital Luoyang to seize the cauldron.

During the reign of King Xuan of Zhou, the Nine Cauldrons sank under the Si River and disappeared from the world’s sight.

"Historical Records - Book of Fengshan": "Yu collected gold from the nine herdsmen and cast nine tripods. All of them were used to worship the gods and ghosts. When a sage appeared, the tripods prospered, and the tripods were moved to the Xia and Shang dynasties. When the Zhou dynasty declined and the Song dynasty was destroyed, the tripods were lost and disappeared."

According to Meng Fan's guess, Liu Bang, the former head of the Si Shui Pavilion, was most likely recognized by one of the Nine Cauldrons, which was a red cauldron with dragon patterns on it, which means that the original Nine Cauldrons were actually red.

Liu Bang killed a white snake and started an uprising, calling himself the son of the Red Emperor. It is hard not to think that there is a connection between them.

Meng Fan looked at the first bronze tripod and saw an image of Dayu controlling floods engraved on it, along with the words "Dayu's Vessel".

The Yu the Great Controlling the Flood Tripod is currently the only bronze tripod engraved with the words "Yu the Great's Vessel", and is therefore considered by Zhang Zhiwei to be one of the true Nine Tripods of Yu the Great.

Although the other two bronze tripods have no inscriptions, their shapes and styles are consistent with the description of the Nine Tripods of Yu the Great, so they are also considered to be possible members of the Nine Tripods of Yu the Great.

After a moment, Meng Fan's frown couldn't help but relax.

He just touched his own spiritual platform, and an illusory three-colored snow-white silver dragon with the three virtues of water, earth and wood emerged from his forehead.

"Roar!"

With a dragon roar.

I saw the three bronze tripods shaking and buzzing at the same time, and then bronze fragments fell down and kept peeling off from them, revealing their original appearance.

The entire tripod is red gold in color, with dragon carvings on it and dragon characters written all over the body.

At the same time, three strange-looking dragon-shaped phantoms appeared in the bronze tripod, passed by the tripod in a trance, and also roared, as if responding to the silver dragon perched on Meng Fan's forehead.

Afterwards, after just wandering around the cauldron for a circle, it sank back into it.

"Yongzhou Ding, Jiaozi!"

"Jingzhou Ding, Prison Ox!"

"And... the most important Yuzhou Ding, who followed Dayu and moved mountains and changed the course of rivers and waterways, Baxia, who had many achievements!"

"The sky is round and the earth is square, yin and yang are in harmony. The straight and the oblique have their place, and the nine provinces are in peace and prosperity!" Meng Fan murmured to himself.

"Three of the Nine Cauldrons have now returned to their places. That's very good, very good!" Zhang Zhiwei also sighed.

"It's worth all the efforts during this period!"

Meng Fan looked at the three red tripods with dragon patterns, and finally stopped his gaze on the Yongzhou Tripod. The most famous story about the Yongzhou Tripod was the story of King Wu of Qin asking for the tripod.

In the fourth year of King Wu of Qin, Qin captured Yiyang, an important town in Han. King Wu of Qin was overjoyed and led a group of warriors, including Ren Bi and Meng Ben, to inspect Yiyang, and then went straight to Luoyang to spy on the Zhou Dynasty.

King Nan of Zhou sent an envoy to welcome him outside the city. King Wu of Qin went straight into the Mingtang of the Taimiao to take a peek at the Nine Cauldrons. King Wu of Qin surrounded the Nine Cauldrons, inspected them, and was filled with admiration.

King Wu of Qin pointed to a tripod with the word "Yong" on it and sighed, "This is the tripod of Yongzhou. It is a tripod of Qin. I will take it back to Xianyang."

The official guarding the tripods said, "King Wu placed these tripods here and they have never been moved. Each tripod weighs a thousand jin and no one can lift it."

King Wu of Qin used all his strength to lift the tripod half a foot off the ground. Just as he was about to take a step, he lost his strength and the tripod fell to the ground, pressing on King Wu's right foot, breaking his tibia with a snap, and he died in the middle of the night.

At this time, Meng Fan looked at Zhang Zhiwei and joked, "Tianshi, how heavy do you think this Yongzhou Ding is?"

Zhang Zhiwei looked at Meng Fan and immediately understood what he meant. He smiled and said, "Tian Gong, do you also want to challenge the throne of Shenzhou?"

"hehe!"

Meng Fan avoided answering and turned to look at the Yongzhou Ding. He walked forward, put his palm on the belly of the Ding, and lifted it up with a slight lift.

I even weighed it in my hand and found it was indeed quite heavy.

Then, Meng Fan gently put it down again.

“Since the three tripods have returned to their positions and the 139th Division is blocking the exploration of the secrets of heaven, let’s put them here first. When the nine tripods and five dignified beings gather together, we can set up a Feng Shui formation to connect the veins and waters of Shenzhou.”

"By then, I won't be able to lift these nine tripods!"

"Each tripod has the weight of mountains and rivers, taking root in the ground, symbolizing that our Red Country is unshakable."

Meng Fan's eyes were burning.

At this moment, the figures of the former Dayu and Meng Fan now are highly similar.

And the illusory silver dragon on his forehead had an inexplicable fire in its mouth, its color was like red gold, and its flame would not go out, burning brightly, as if it had never been extinguished.

Afterwards, the three red-gold bronze tripods were also surrounded by blazing flames, which then gradually sank into Meng Fan's body.

I saw that the flame in the dragon's mouth grew stronger and stronger, and finally formed a raging dragon flame.

Meng Fan seemed to have mastered the red-gold fire energy without any instruction. With a thought, a red-gold flame emerged from his hands.

At the same time, red lines like flame clouds appeared on the golden elixir in his dantian, shaped like elixir fire.

"The flame of the human race?!"

This fire is the fire of human race's luck. It is a pure yang red gold flame transformed from incense and vows. It has many wonderful uses. It not only restrains monsters and evil spirits, but also represents the meaning of the human race's inheritance. It will burn whatever it encounters and will never go out.

At this moment, the silver dragon on Meng Fan's forehead also turned into a silver dragon with the four virtues of water, earth, wood and fire. It only lacked the virtue of gold to transform into a dragon with five virtues.

"Kinder?"

The dynasties carrying the virtue of gold include Yao, Qin, Cao Wei, Southern Liang, Jin and Yuan.

Meng Fan suddenly thought of the world of Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, and the next in line would be The Legend of the Condor Heroes. He only needed to adjust the timeline to transition to that point in time.

Maybe after I’ve dealt with the issues in the world of the Bad Guys, I can take a trip.
