The affairs in Luo City were left to the local officials to handle, and he would no longer interfere. After all, the secret war in Kyoto was very fierce. The higher you go, the more you go, the more you go. Whoever can go further means that the family can maintain its leading position in the future.
The Qian family and the Hao family are both the top aristocratic families in Kyoto. Now that the youngest of the Hao family has been involved in such a bad incident, it has seriously offended everyone's inner feelings. Who dares to protect the Hao family's upper position?
Li Mo came to Luo City to temporarily avoid the limelight.
After returning to the hotel, Li Mo lay on the bed and read the public opinions on the Internet. News is already brewing in Luo City. In addition to the huge underground chamber, five large tombs have been discovered outside Luo City. A team of archaeological experts is already making preparations for protective excavations.
These news haven't completely hit the hot search topic yet, and they are expected to greatly divert the attention of netizens tomorrow.
Just as he was about to take a shower, Liu Yingying's cell phone video call came in. He quickly connected it and saw Yingying's pretty face appearing in the camera, and beside her was her master Song Shizhi.
"Xiao Mo, look who this is?"
"Master, when did you go to Kyoto?"
"I just arrived this morning. I have nothing to do in my hometown. I took advantage of the weather to go out for a walk and relax. I didn't know that your kid ran so fast. He went to Luo City. Did you find anything?"
"Master, you don't know that I found a tomb robber's secret room here. The scale is no worse than a museum. There are all kinds of cultural relics and antiques in it, ranging from bronzes from the Shang and Zhou dynasties to pottery from the Sui and Tang Dynasties. , lacquerware and goldware. Master, there are so many good things, I’m so greedy.”
"You are really capable of doing things. How many more days will you be in Luo City?"
"Although I found the tomb robber's secret room, I will not participate in the later inventory. I am now waiting for news about the Kyushu Cauldron. If I can find some clues, I may stay a little longer. If there are no clues, I will return in two days. I will accompany you around Kyoto when the time comes, and take you to Liulichang or Panjiayuan to hunt for treasures."
This was the first time that Song Shizhi heard the news about the Jiuzhou Cauldron. He thought for a moment and said, "Xiao Mo, if you can really find the Jiuzhou Cauldron, then Master will never have any regrets in his life. Your master's name and mine will eventually be remembered." Engraved on an immortal monument."
"Master, you can't have too high expectations of me, otherwise I will be under pressure."
"Hahaha, that's enough. Master, I'll watch you perform well."
After Song Shizhi finished chatting, Liu Yingying walked to the balcony with her mobile phone and said with a smile: "Grandpa knew that I was pregnant, so he came all the way from my hometown and made me a pair of nanmu bracelets inlaid with gold and silver. very beautiful."
"My master may not be used to the high-rise buildings over there. We will hold on for another two years. When we move to a new home, there will be a Soviet-style garden villa and manor over there. There are lakes and land. You can raise fish and chickens. It is suitable for old people. Take Master over and live with us."
"Tch, who wants to live with you?" Liu Yingying pouted, but the smile at the corner of her mouth could not be hidden. She touched her belly that was not yet pregnant, "Why do you think they grow so slowly? ?”
"I'm pregnant in ten months. It's only been more than two months. Why are you in a hurry? Have a good rest at home and tell me what you want to eat. Anything that flies in the sky, runs on the ground or swims in the water. As long as you want to eat, I will eat it. Get it for you.”
"It's just boring to stay at home. My mother is afraid that something will happen to me when I go out, so she insists on letting me stay at home."
"Your mood is very important at this stage. If you really feel bored, then go out to the mall or something. It doesn't matter. I will arrange a few female security guards to accompany you."
"No, it's too noisy, and it makes you uncomfortable to play. It's still quite hot here in Kyoto, but the temperature in the south will be significantly cooler. You should pay attention to your health there."
"Don't worry, I will return to Kyoto soon, and I will stop running around this year."
"Yeah, I'll hang up then, bye."
Li Mo hung up the phone and video chatted with Sirui for a while before taking a shower and going to bed.
The next day, Li Mo was jogging in the hotel gym. Chen Xiaojun walked up to him with a smile on his face and said, "Uncle Junior Master, that Zhou Jiadong is true to his word. After watching the video of us entering the secret room, he said he knew News about the Kyushu Cauldron."
Li Mo turned off the treadmill, stopped slowly, wiped the sweat on his face with a clean towel and said, "Sit down in the rest area and talk."
"The ancestors of their lineage once left a saying that has been passed down from generation to generation: by the Luocheng Lake, when the water dries up, the divine light appears and the Nine Cauldrons emerge."
"Gone?"
Li Mogudong Gudong drank a few sips of mineral water. These words sounded a bit like treasure hunting tips. But after thinking about it for a while, I found that this sentence is just nonsense. Which place does the lakeside refer to?
Not to mention the talk of 'when the water dries up, the divine light appears, and the nine tripods emerge', it's all nonsense.
"No more." Chen Xiaojun scratched his head, "Uncle Master, is that Zhou Jiadong deceiving us? These few words are just like looking for a needle in a haystack, and there is no clue at all."
"It has been more than 4,000 years since Xia built the Jiuding. During this period, there have been endless theories about the loss of the Jiuding. For example, "Historical Records" said that the Jiuzhou Ding disappeared after the fall of the Qin Dynasty, and "Book of Fengchan" also said that Jiuding was lost at the end of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and had nothing to do with the Qin Dynasty. "Book of Han" also said that Jiuding was submerged in Pengcheng, Surabaya. Therefore, there are many theories about the whereabouts of Jiuzhou Tripod, but There is no way to study it.”
"But the gratifying thing is that so far, there has been no record of Jiuding being destroyed, which also gives us hope."
"Uncle Master, please tell us more about the records of the Nine Provinces Cauldron."
Li Mo wiped the sweat on his neck with a towel and said with a smile: "Actually, I don't know much. They are basically just fragments of information recorded in ancient books."
"There has always been a saying about Jiuzhou Ding: if you win a country, you will get Jiuding; if you lose the country, you will lose Jiuding. Starting from the Xia Dynasty and going through several changes in Shang, Zhou and Qin, Jiuding has also become a symbol of national power."
"Since the Western Zhou Dynasty, the system of tripods has been a product of this. That is to say, the more tripods, the greater the power. For example, nine tripods symbolize the emperor, seven tripods symbolize princes, and five tripods symbolize officials. This system promoted the ritual and music system. It’s coming to a head.”
"In the Warring States Period, the ritual and music system collapsed, and even some princes and officials began to use the nine tripods, which symbolized the highest power, with arrogance. In addition, some declining nobles and common people no longer used copper tripods for the sake of dignity, and replaced them with pottery tripods. tripod."
"Before Qin Shihuang's imperial seal came out, Jiuding was equivalent to the imperial seal, representing the authentic identity of the emperor. Although the Jiuzhou Ding was later lost, the idea that the Jiuding represented supreme power still influenced subsequent rulers. "
"For example, after the Qin and Han Dynasties, many rulers began to recast the Nine Tripods to continue the concept of the Nine Tripods passing down the country. According to historical records, even Wu Zetian had people cast the Nine Tripods in Luo City. In the process, a total of 560,000 kilograms were lost. Bronze. As times change, Jiuding’s symbol of power is no longer taken seriously, but the tripod can still be used as a symbol of auspiciousness in various occasions.”
