Chapter 1113 Nine Cauldron Wuwen
"So you got this ring from Zhao Pingyuan when you shook hands with him?" Feng Yuan suddenly realized.

"Yes, Zhao Pingyuan is also a smart man. As soon as I pulled his hand, he knew what it was for, so he immediately gave me the ring secretly." Fan Jiannan walked to the Shimen gate with the ring engraved with the holy seal. front, and opened the door with the holy chapter.

The thick stone gate was opened again, and the two fire pools inside were also lit again, illuminating the stone hall brightly.After Fan Jiannan walked in, he touched the simple and heavy bronze tripod with his hands, and frowned.

"Fan Jiannan, no matter how I look at it, I don't think there is anything special about this bronze tripod." Linghu Yun was a little puzzled, "Why do you keep thinking about this thing?"

"Things? You don't understand what this thing symbolizes at all." Fan Jiannan said calmly, "One promises one's best, and one wins the world. There are too many legends concentrated on these nine bronze tripods. And I have been thinking about this tripod just now. It is very likely that this is also part of the Shamanic script."

"You mean these birds and beasts, mountains and rivers and geography are also part of Wuwen?" Feng Yuan asked with a flickering expression.

Linghu Yun shook her head and said, "I'm quite familiar with the style of Wuwen, why didn't I see any similarities?"

"Yes. These decorative patterns are by no means the same type as the Wuwen on the Linghu family tree. But I'm sure they have something in common." Fan Jiannan whispered, "Let me ask you, what the Wuwen said How far back can it be dated?"

"You can't trouble me with this. Wuwen should have appeared around the Xia Dynasty, prevailed in the Shang Dynasty, and gradually disappeared in the Zhou Dynasty." Linghuyun replied.

"That's right, this Kyushu tripod was cast at the beginning of Xia's founding of the country, which coincides with the era when Wuwen was popular. And have you ever thought about why people from the Brotherhood of the Holy Chapter would know the legend about Wuwen? ?Even in the Chinese art world, there are only a very small number of people who know about Shaman. China has always been a relatively closed country, and how did a group of descendants of artisans living overseas know everything about Shaman, even He knows better than the Wu family and the Linghu family, two families who inherit the wu language. Can you tell me why?" Fan Jiannan looked at Linghu Yun and said.

"This..." Linghu Yun fell silent.

"Are you trying to say that this Kyushu cauldron is the origin of westward artisans' research on shamanism?" Feng Yuan said in surprise.

Fan Jiannan nodded and said, "I can feel some hidden information on this bronze tripod through my magical power, and these information are gathered in my mind, and the broken picture formed should be that of the Westward Sorcerer, that is, The predecessor of the Shengzhang Brotherhood. So I am sure that this Kyushu tripod was also brought out by them. No wonder the legend of the Kyushu tripod only exists in history. In fact, no one has seen it since the Qin and Han Dynasties. All There is no record about the tripod of Kyushu in the history books."

"Because they were hidden by some magicians, and then transported to Europe through the Western Regions?" Linghu Yun frowned, "Why does it sound a little too mysterious to me?"

"It's not mysterious at all. Think about it, this tripod is an important weapon of the country, symbolizing the power of the world, and the treasure of the emperor. It will only be used when performing major sacrifices. And this kind of sacrifice was usually carried out by witchcraft in that period. Come to host. When the Zhou Dynasty was destroyed, the king of Qin wanted to find the nine tripods, but found that the nine tripods had disappeared. Who do you think is qualified to approach these tripods, and who is capable of fleeing with these tripods?" Fan Jiannan asked rhetorically .

"You mean, those sorcerers who were in charge of the royal sacrifice." Feng Yuan immediately said, "They took away and hid the nine bronze tripods. But I have heard other theories."

"Oh? What do you say?" Fan Jiannan frowned.

Feng Yuan sighed, "It is said that during the decline of the royal family of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, various powerful vassal states were eyeing up and trying to replace Zhou. The Kyushu Ding, which symbolizes the royal power and destiny, naturally became what the princes wanted to seize. A rare national treasure; at this time, the Zhou royal family was in financial difficulties and could not make ends meet, so they destroyed the Jiuding to make copper coins. They falsely claimed that the Jiuding had disappeared, and even said that one of the tripods had flown eastward and sank into the swimming pool, lest the princes and states would come to ask for the crown. , asking for trouble."

Fan Jiannan shook his head and said, "This is absolutely impossible. The symbolic meaning of the Kyushu Ding is the whole world. No matter how poor the Eastern Zhou royal family is, it is impossible to melt the Nine Ding to make money. Because the Nine Ding is there, it symbolizes the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. If the Nine Ding is lost, It means that Zhou Tianzi gave up his status as the emperor and is no longer the lord of the world. Therefore, the royal family of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty will never do this. This is like the children of the Eight Banners of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties back then. .Birth status was far more important than we imagined in ancient times."

"Maybe." Feng Yuan sighed, "But who would have thought that this once glorious national treasure would be buried in this exotic underground cemetery."

Fan Jiannan nodded, and said in a low voice, "The reason why I am so sure that the patterns on this tripod are related to shamanism is another basis."

"Oh? What else?" Feng Yuan whispered.

"Because Zhao Pingyuan was present, I couldn't say some things. Although the birds, beasts and mountains and rivers on the Kyushu cauldron are not real Wuwen, their principles are the same as Wuwen." Fan Jiannan's eyes flickered, "All It is through the technique of pictograms to form the meaning. The invisible magic power flow trajectory has evolved into specific graphic decorations. I have memorized all these decorations a long time ago. When we were outside just now, I kept thinking about this question."

"That is to say, you can decipher the decorations on these bronze tripods?" Linghu Yun asked suspiciously.

"I can't be so sure, but it's worth trying." Fan Jiannan said in a deep voice, "And the placement of this tripod is a bit special, if you look carefully, this tripod is not placed in the center of the stone hall, but rather off the central axis. This arrangement obviously has a special purpose."

Feng Yuan looked around, then looked at the position facing the gate of the Stone Palace, nodded and said, "It seems so."

Fan Jiannan pondered for a moment, then roughly drew an azimuth map on the ground with his hands, then suddenly raised his head and said, "I see, there is a reason for the placement of this tripod. Jiuding represents the Kyushu in the world, which means that it follows the order of Kyushu's orientation. Placed. Judging from the position of this tripod, it should be the Qingzhou tripod among the nine big tripods. This can explain a lot of problems."

"What do you understand?" Linghu Yun asked quickly.

"During the time of Dayu, the world was divided into Kyushu, namely Yuzhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Yangzhou, Jingzhou, Liangzhou, Yongzhou, Jizhou, and Yanzhou. The location of this tripod hides the location of Kyushu. The location of this tripod It is Qingzhou, so the direction of Yuzhou, which symbolizes the location of the Central Plains, should be here!" Fan Jiannan pointed to the figure drawn on the ground.

"Is there anything special about the location of Yuzhou?" Linghu Yun asked puzzledly.

"Yuzhou refers to the Henan area, the hinterland of the Central Plains in history. It is also the origin of the title Zhongzhou and China, which has a special meaning among Kyushu. If these westward artisans are really the shamans of the Zhou Dynasty, then the Central Plains Henan has special meaning to them." Fan Jiannan took a few steps forward resolutely and looked around.Finally, he frowned and paced a few steps in place, whispering, "This is the place."

He stretched out his hand, knocked on the stone wall, was slightly taken aback, and then smiled, "I guessed right, there is another entrance here."

His fingers drew a circle on the ground, and then drew a hexagram continuously on the side.It hit the hard stone wall again.At this time, a slight tremor suddenly appeared in the air, and then this wave of magic power dissipated quickly.This hard stone wall, however, became torn apart by this little fluctuation. With a "crash", a large area collapsed, and a hole more than two meters high was exposed inside.

Fan Jiannan's voice couldn't help being excited, and he whispered, "That's right. This is where the Brotherhood of the Holy Chapter really hides. The prophet's premonition is not wrong, but his premonition is accurate, but it is out of self-control. So he could see us coming here, but he couldn't tell what we were going to find here."

Feng Yuan whispered, "So this cave may be the tomb of the two leaders of the Brotherhood?"

Fan Jiannan touched the edge of the stone wall with his hand and frowned, "This is not an ordinary rock, but it is sealed with plaster. It seems that it has not been a long time, that is to say, someone has only recently entered it. If there is no accident If so, we have already found the tombs of the two principals."

Linghu Yun shone the flashlight inside and said in a low voice, "It's so dark inside, it should look very dark."

Fan Jiannan nodded and said, "I've always been wondering that there was an ink mark that was not very obvious on the manuscript of the cemetery blueprint we saw in the library. I thought it was the person who drew the blueprint , a little ink dripped unintentionally. But now it seems that it is not so simple at all, but a clue left by that person deliberately. Because the place where the ink mark happens to be the location of this hole."

"Then shall we go in?" Feng Yuan whispered.

Fan Jiannan nodded and said, "Follow me and act carefully. No one knows what's going on inside now, and we can only figure it out by ourselves. Don't touch anything at will, and don't move around at will. Be sure to Follow me."

"Okay, I see." Linghu Yun couldn't help but said, "You're so talkative like my aunt."

"Don't get me wrong, I won't stop you even if you want to die, I just don't want you to harm us all." Fan Jiannan sighed, "So I beg you to be as quiet as possible. If you want to show your personality, wait out Let's talk."

Speaking of which, the three of them walked to the depths of the cave behind the stone wall with flashlights.
