Chapter Three Hundred and Thirty-Three Catastrophe
There was a thunder in the Kun Palace in the middle of the night, and the hibernating flower room was dawning.
The wild wind blows out the candles, and the bright rain hits the windows quickly.
Suddenly the vegetation and trees are in different spirits, and the weather is naturally urging them to greet each other.
There are only stone turtles and wood geese, standing still until spring comes back.
——"Jingzhe Sun Thunder" Qiu Yuan [Yuan Dynasty]
…
Everyone knows the story that followed.
After the death of Ji Chang, Ji Fa succeeded to the throne and was named King Wu. He inherited his father's ambition and relied on Taigong Wang, Zhou Gongdan, Zhao Gongxi and others to govern the country. The Zhou Kingdom became increasingly powerful.
Eleven years after receiving the order, King Wu united with the Yong, Shu, Qiang, Lu, Peng, Pu and other tribes to attack Shang Zhou and crusade against the Shang Dynasty under the tyrant King Zhou. This was the Battle of Muye.
The Yin Shang Dynasty was defeated, King Zhou burned himself in Lutai, and the Yin Shang Dynasty was destroyed. The Zhou Dynasty was established and its capital was Haojing, thus establishing the Zhou Dynasty's eight hundred years of prosperity.
After King Wu destroyed the Shang Dynasty, he abolished the brutal sacrificial ritual of using slaves as human sacrifices to sacrifice the Nine Tripods, publicly displayed the Eight Tripods to the world, and returned the Pangu power of the Eight Tripods to heaven again.
Lu Shang destroyed the Ninth Cauldron at the Conferred God Platform and sealed the evil power of the Ninth Cauldron.
After King Cheng of Zhou came to the throne, Zhou Gongdan built Luoyi and recast the Ninth Cauldron. However, this Ninth Cauldron was just a bronze cauldron with a similar appearance and no longer had any divine power.
Zhou Gongdan placed the Jiuding in the city and asked King Cheng to personally preside over the ceremony and place the Jiuding in the Mingtang.
…
Hundreds of years passed in a blink of an eye, one generation after another. However, the Nine Cauldrons, a symbol of royal power that governs all things and commands the world, have always made the princes of the world covet the Nine Cauldrons.
After Qin destroyed Zhou, Qin moved the Nine Tripods of the Zhou royal family westward to Xianyang.
After that, there were disputes during the Warring States Period, all life was devastated, and there was no clear master in the world. The way of heaven was dim, and Bading was completely disappointed with human beings, and disappeared from the world without knowing where it ended up.
When Qin Shihuang destroyed the six kingdoms and unified the world, some people said that the Jiuding sank in Pengcheng, Surabaya. Qin Shihuang visited Pengcheng, Surabaya, and sent people to dive and salvage it, but in vain...
…
However, the legend about Jiuding does not end.
After King Zhou of Shang set himself on fire and the Ninth Cauldron was sealed, everyone thought that there would be peace for all eternity. However, the ghost of the Ninth Cauldron was not completely eradicated.
When King Zhou of the Shang Dynasty self-immolated in Lutai, Chonghou Hu, Fei Zhong, Eilai and others took advantage of the chaos and secretly chiseled out the nebula pattern at the bottom of the ninth tripod, one side of the tripod's ears and one tripod's feet.
A ghost of the Ninth Cauldron wandered out and penetrated into the three tripod body fragments, lurking in the corners of the world, waiting for opportunities, tempting human selfish desires, and choosing the next host like King Zhou.
…
The contents of the remaining stele ended here, and Bai Fu sighed deeply:
"Since Master knows the inscriptions on oracle bones, he naturally knows what is recorded on this broken stele, and he should have a clear understanding of the origins of Dayu's Nine Cauldrons.
He chipped the broken stele into pieces and used it to repair other valuable stone stele. He wanted to cover up the contents of the stele and did not want people to know the secret of Dayu's Jiuding.
But he also left clues so that the oracle bone inscriptions on the front and back of the stele correspond to the Chinese characters, and he seemed to expect that this shocking secret would be discovered by someone destined to see it again.
What does Master intend to do with this move?
I obtained the power of the Kanding in the Wuhou Temple in Yizhou and discovered the Xunding in the Netherworld Valley of Qingcheng Mountain. Does Master know these things?
He and Dayu Jiuding were so destined, but why didn't Master reveal the secrets of Jiuding and tell him directly?
Is Master trying to cover up something, or is he waiting for something?"
The more secrets Bai Fu knew, the more he was confused. He was confused and puzzled.
"No, next time I return to Qingcheng, I must ask Master in person!"
Bai Fu's eyes were bright.
…
Just when Bai Fu was thinking hard about Dayu Jiuding and looking forward to returning to Qingcheng as soon as possible, Yang Yichan and King Yong had already arrived at Qingcheng Mountain.
It is said that Yang Guozhong's journey to Nanzhao was also thrilling. Dozens of assassins disguised themselves, divided into groups, and assassinated Yang Guozhong halfway.
Fortunately, Yang Guozhong was well prepared and had many experts fighting to protect him, so there was no danger.
In addition to Yang Yichan and Huben Jun, there is also a group of masked men secretly protecting Yang Guozhong. The martial arts of this group of masked men are beyond the expectations of the assassins.
The assassins underestimated and made frequent mistakes. Not only did they fail to complete their mission, but they also killed many masters.
The assassin Fei Ge passed the message and soon arrived at the residence of Prime Minister Li in Chang'an.
Li Linfu opened the secret letter on the pigeon's leg, frowned, and said secretly: "Yang Guozhong is actually protected by Hu masters?
Who are these people and horses? How strange!"
…
Entering the border of Bashu, Xianyu Zhongtong came forward in person and begged Jiang Yinnong, leader of the Sichuan gang, to take care of him. Leader Jiang agreed to the matter because he had known Xianyu Zhongtong for many years.
Gang Leader Jiang spread the word about the Sichuan Gang's involvement and sent Sichuan Gang deputy gangster Zhang Fen and Minjiang Gang leader Chen Honghu to lead the escort.
With the protection of the Sichuan Gang, Yang Guozhong and his party were in peace. The Tiger Generals breathed a sigh of relief.
When they arrived at the border of Mianzhou, King Yong ordered the Huben Army to escort Yang Guozhong into Yizhou. King Yong and Yang Yichan secretly entered Qingcheng Mountain according to the original plan, with a group of followers from the Prince Yong's Mansion.
Yang Yichan was familiar with the roads of Qingcheng Mountain. In order to avoid leaking the secret, Yang Yichan took King Yong to avoid the patrolling disciples of the Qingcheng Sect and took a detour to the Ghost Oath Platform in the back mountain of Qingcheng.
There is not a blade of grass growing on the Ghost Platform, and the rocks are scarlet and ferocious, creating a solemn scene. People who walk here can't help but feel frightened and frightened.
King Yong Li Lin came here for the first time in his life. Under the personal protection of his retinue, he slowly moved to the edge of the cliff and carefully explored the bottom of the Netherworld Valley.
The abyss is silent, and a layer of mist hangs above the valley bottom, making the place even more unfathomable. Through the mist, the abyss is like a giant python's mouth, waiting to swallow the sky and the earth.
King Yong Li Lin felt dizzy and his hair stood on end. He didn't dare to look at it a second time and hurried back to the Ghost Ring Monument.
Yongwang Li Lin carefully looked at this famous ghost ring stele and found that the material was very ordinary and nothing special.
It is said that the inscription on the Ghost Realm Stele was written by Patriarch Daoling of Qingcheng. The inscription records the story of Patriarch Daoling fighting the Six Heavenly Demon Kings and the Eight Ghost Commanders in Qingcheng Mountain in July of the second year of Han'an. Patriarch Daoling ordered the demons to
They swore an oath under the Yellow Emperor's altar in Qingcheng Mountain that humans live in the world of the sun and ghosts live in the underworld. From then on, the demons surrendered and the people lived in peace and happiness.
This story, Yong Wang Li Lin, has heard Yang Yichan tell it many times, and it is not new at all. Walking around behind the Ghost Boundary Monument, the place is overgrown with weeds and thorns, and there are faint traces of writing.
Yong Wang Li Lin was quite curious, so he asked his followers to pull out the thorns, wipe the back of the stone tablet clean, and read the text carefully. Without even a stick of incense, Yong Wang Li Lin suddenly became furious.
Yang Yichan asked hurriedly: "Your Highness, what happened? What made you so angry?"
Yong Wang Li Lin said angrily: "I have seen it. The writing on the back of this stone tablet is not the handwriting of the founder of Daoling, but is newly carved. He is mocking me that the royal family of Li and Tang Dynasties are not Han people, but Xianbei miscellaneous people who stole the Han Dynasty. Curse me.
The Li Tang Dynasty will come to an end soon."
Yang Yichan didn't know how to deal with it. As far as Li Tang Xianbei's identity was concerned, this passage was correct.
Yong Wang Li Lin suddenly had a thought in his mind, took out a manual from his pocket, quickly flipped through a few pages, and became furious: "It's really this guy!"
Yang Yichan didn't know what was going on, so she took a closer look and said, "Isn't this the few volumes of martial arts secrets that Bai Fu gave me?"
King Yong Li Lin said: "Did Bai Fu write these volumes of secret books to you personally?"
Yang Yichan nodded and said, "He wrote it with his own hand after returning from Shaolin Temple. Is there anything wrong with it?"
King Yong Li Lin snorted coldly and said: "Compare the words engraved on the back of the stone tablet!"
Yang Yichan suddenly realized that the words on the back of the stone tablet were exactly the same as Bai Fu's handwriting.
In this situation, Yong Wang Li Lin couldn't help but think of the embarrassing scene in the Yuan Eve finals when Bai Fu allowed himself to be disgraced and ashamed in front of his father, the royal family, and all the civil and military officials.
The more Yong Wang Li Lin thought about it, the angrier he became. He said angrily to his followers: "Smash this stone tablet for me!"
Yang Yichan was shocked and hurriedly stopped in front of Yongwang Li Lin and said: "Your Highness, you must not do this!
I heard from my uncles and uncles that without this Ghost Ring Monument, the Six Heavenly Demon Kings imprisoned in the capital city of Beiyin, the Eight Ghost Commanders exiled on the border of the Western Region, and the many demons and monsters at the bottom of the Nether Valley would have returned to the world of the sun.
Make waves and bring disaster to the world!
Your Highness, you absolutely must not do this!"
Yong Wang Li Lin pushed Yang Yichan away and said angrily: "It's nonsense, you believe these folk rumors! They are all made up by a bunch of old Qingcheng people to defraud people of their sesame oil money!
If there really are demons and ghosts, how can this ordinary stone tablet be able to contain them?
Come on, smash this stone monument for me!"
The followers agreed in unison, took out their weapons, struck three times, five divided by two, smashed the ghost boundary monument into pieces, and threw it into the bottom of the Netherworld Valley.
