Chapter 393: Nine Treasures of the Country, Ten Thousand Gui of Heaven (4k)
As Zhao Qing moved his mind, he took out a delicate silk book with a large number of pictures and text explanations, as well as a volume of maps marked by various ancient monuments of Yuling. The former was left by Wenzi, and the latter was given to her by Shi Yuanluo before entering the park.
Similar to Lao Tzu's official position in the Zhou Dynasty, Wen Zi was also in charge of documents and archives, booked the king's orders, and formulated etiquette. Although he was not a descendant of Dayu, he was not qualified to participate in the sacrifice, but he was quite familiar with this matter.
In the Zhou Dynasty, the royal family had a special organization to collect cultural relics and had full-time officials to manage it, namely "Tianfu Yufu", which was in charge of the collection of the ancestral temples, and the Yufu was in charge of the king's gold and jade. In the Yue Kingdom, these two institutions were closely related to Taishi Wenzi.
As for Shi Yuanluo, who was born in the Yue family, his husband Ling Gufu was the grandson of the Yue Hou Fu, the superior and the generation of Yue Hou, and had special channels to obtain a map of the Yuling Park, which was not beyond Zhao Qing's expectations.
According to the silk book, if you come here to understand the inheritance, you can divide the entire cemetery into three areas, namely the Tumo tomb area that guards Yu Tomb, worships, Mingtang Enjoy Hall, which contains a large number of treasures and ancient artifacts, and ancient monuments scattered among the mountains and fields.
Considering the density of inheritance in the three areas and the limited three days, Zhao Qing thought for a while and decided to enter the black and white temple built next to the shrine to see how it was inside, and then make other plans.
The area where this Mingtang is located will naturally not allow outsiders to enter at the beginning of the Yu Festival. However, since the festival on Kuaiji Mountain has come to an end, the focus of the Yu Festival will be shifted to Jiangshangdaozhou for the next three days, so it will be opened to those who are not from the "Si surname" who are not from the Sacrifice.
After looking at the direction of the village towns of the villages of the Lingling Township, she turned around and walked towards the hall about forty feet high and hundreds of acres. She followed the etiquette and maintained a slow speed. She took the monkey together and arrived at the door hall outside the Mingtang after a moment.
...
As soon as he entered the area of the door hall, two wizards in Xuanmian Masua clothes came over and silently handed Zhao Qing and Yuan Gong a bunch of Xiaocao wrapped in the middle of the sacrificial area. This is the current incense for sacrificial sacrifices.
"The fragrance of the mountains is felt by the gods. Millet is not a warm heart, but the virtue is only warm." The curling smoke is a medium for communication between humans and gods. No matter what you do in the ancestral temple, offering the fragrance of Millet and Millet to the gods to enjoy the gods can increase the success rate.
Especially when you go to the tomb of the mound on the ridgeline, you can only think of a large mound, no matter how insightful you have, you will not gain any gain. Only in the sacrificial pit in front of the mound tomb will you perform a burning sacrifice next to the pottery cauldron containing meat. With the effect of fragrant communication, you have the opportunity to be granted the inheritance of the tomb owner by the dream.
After putting away two bunches of silence, Zhao Qing walked into the large square where the Enjoy Hall was located. He saw several ink bamboo forests planted on the edge of this place, and a large number of bronze tripods, gold men and puppets engraved with inscriptions were placed in the middle, giving people a strange and weird feeling.
Walking further in, two people were standing inside the door of the road with red and black spears, holding three corners of spears. The four people were wearing blue and blue Qibians, holding long spears and upwards, and stood in front of the stone steps of the hall.
One person wore a crown and held a Liu sword on his head, and stood in the front hall of the east wing; one person wore a crown and held an axe and stood in the front hall of the west wing. One person wore a crown and held a halberd on his head, and stood at the end of the east wing; one person wore a crown and held a halberd on his head, and stood at the end of the west wing.
Another man was wearing a crown and holding a sharp spear, standing on the side steps of the front door, examining the guests coming and going.
Seeing that these guards were all ritual instruments that were given the power of magic weapons, Zhao Qing was also secretly surprised and sighed at the strictness of the guards here. Then he entered through the main entrance of the Grand Daxiang Hall and finally saw the scene inside the hall, with the extremely brilliant decoration:
The doors and windows face south are laid with double-layer bamboo mats, decorated with black and white silk laces, and decorated with colorful jade ornaments; the south wall faces east are laid with double-layer bamboo mats, decorated with colorful laces, and decorated with pearl ornaments.
In the east wall facing west, double-layered mats were laid with laces painted with clouds, and various white jadeware for sacrifices were furnished; in the west wall of the hall, double-layered green bamboo mats were laid with laces connected by black silk ropes, and various black lacquerware for sacrifices were furnished.
At the north side of the east and west walls, several cases are arranged which are stacked by five different colors of jades according to the five elements. They display one by one when the Yu Temple was built in the Xiahou Qichu. It is said that it is the important objects of Dayu to be with you:
The ink-green bronze war axe, the jade slip book contained in the golden cabin, is engraved with the stars in the sky, the red dome sun jade, and the green pointed moon jade are displayed in front of the table facing the east of the west wall.
An ancient painting of Yinglong drawing out rivers with his tail, the sun carved two-color jade cong with the totem of the white horse and black mane of the Chong family Xia Gun, a spherical astronomical meter composed of dozens of ring tracks, and a map of mountains, rivers and rivers within the Jiuzhou and the four seas, which are displayed in front of the east wall facing west.
The golden and jade books, the sun and the moon, the legendary Dayu dug out from the stone tent in Kuaiji Mountain, and the ancient treasures related to Huangdi were watched carefully by several attendants, Zhao Qing sighed in his heart.
If these nine treasures are all genuine, not counterfeit, then theoretically, they should contain the supreme power of the Tianyan level. If the conditions for its full recovery can be met, it will probably sweep the current world that has not yet appeared in Tianyan for nearly three thousand years.
However, in her opinion, it would be too unreasonable if these treasures still possess such powerful divine power but are placed directly in the hall, even outsiders like herself can see it. Perhaps, they adopted the method of displaying fakes that were commonly found in museums in previous lives?
"In terms of the foundation of the ancestral temple sacrificial instruments, Yue Kingdom, which had rarely had wars for more than 7,000 years, has never suffered any major losses. It is likely that only under the Zhou royal family, it is most likely that it is better than Jin, Chu, Qi and Lu countries."
At this moment, a golden carp quietly jumped out on the shoulders of the monkey, and it was suspected that Wenzi updated its database not long ago and sent a message to express his own opinions:
"At the time of King Li, Zhou lost the Red Sword, Daxun, and King You, the time of King You, the River Map, and more than a hundred years ago, the Nine Cauldrons of Xia were destroyed. Now the remaining 'Tianyan'-level heavy weapons are generally complete, and there are only fifteen or sixteen."
Is it the River Map I know? The Nine Cauldrons Deads Dead for more than a hundred years. Is it the Prince's Rebellion in which I participated? After several turmoils, there are still this number of top treasures?
When Zhao Qing heard these amazing secrets, he was also a little surprised, and was quite sad about the loss of these ancient treasures of "Tianyan" and was quite doubtful whether they fell into the hands of a secret organization like "Void Path".
"The Book of Rites? Mingtang" records: "Chung tripod, sling tripod, big Huang, and enthrone the father's turtle, and the utensil of the emperor. Yueji, big bow, and the emperor's Rong weapon. Xia Houshi's drum, foot, Yin, and Ying drum; Zhou, county drum. Chuzhi's bell, Shuzhi's Liqing, Nuwa's Shengchun. Xia Houshi's dragon sign, Yin's Chongya, and Zhou's bihuan."
These treasures that were collected by later generations should be important collections after King Wu of Zhou defeated the Shang Dynasty. However, they were not all left in the palace and temple, but many of them were rewarded to ministers and princes who had great achievements.
For example, Qi and Lu received a large amount of rewards from King Wu at the beginning of their founding of the country. For example, among the national treasures of Lu, there was the "Xia Hou's Huang" used to communicate with the heavens of Hou's world. The "Xia Hou's Feng Wei" made by Feng's father for Houyi;
Jin and Chu mainly relied on annexation of other countries, destroyed the ancestral temples and moved the heavy weapons, and gained a lot. She knew this. However, Yue was able to rank ahead of them, and the powerful Wu State could not even make it to the top six, which was somewhat unexpected.
Speaking of Xia's Nine Tripods and Zhou's Nine Tripods, are they two different sets of heavy weapons? After all, I have never heard of it. Today, there are important news like Zhou's Nine Tripods circulating.
Logically speaking, Yu Xia’s treasures were too old, and even the Yue royal family, who was descended from Dayu, could not stimulate its power. There is no reason why King Wu would think that his descendants could be used. Perhaps he secretly forged another set of Zhou’s Nine Cauldrons, which is the truth of the matter.
If Prince Chao took away the Nine Cauldrons of Xia worshipped in the ancestral temple before he fled to Chu, perhaps this set of the most well-known national weapons of the Xia Dynasty would eventually fall into my hands?
"The Ancient Divine Soldier of Youchong, the ancient magic weapon that Xia Gun passed to the young Dayu before rushing to control the flood was mainly used as a symbol of the military power of Youchong. Its power is not strong and can be regarded as a category of ritual instruments. Therefore, when Xia Houqi later conquered Youhu and Boyi, he left it in the Yu Temple..."
Seeing Zhao Qing's eyes stopped on the Xuanyue, which belonged to the weapon for a long time, Jinli reminded: "These nine treasures that govern the country, relying on the power of a divine bead, coix, can't hide their perceptions, bypass the blood barrier set before they sleep, and try to comprehend the mysterious ones."
"Therefore, the left and right side halls used for collection are the places you two should go to. Perhaps you have read Wenzi's booklets and already know that the side hall on the left also contains antiques from that era, and in terms of quantity, it is surprisingly large...its name is: 'Wangui Hall'."
...
The sunlight carved the roof tiles of auspicious beasts through the eaves and scattered on the corridor, casting deep shadows on the painted black beams and pillars. The breeze passed through the bamboo forest outside the corridor, with a faint fragrance of flowers and the moisture of the soil, adding a touch of freshness and tranquility to this solemn space.
"Wangui Palace..." After a moment, he realized that he really could not see any mysterious Taoist meaning from the nine national treasures. With only a few gains, Zhao Qing came to the side hall of Mingtang. As soon as he stepped into the door, he felt a solemn atmosphere instantly, and a spectacular picture appeared in front of him.
The light in the hall was dim. Through the hollow window lattice, I saw exquisite orchid mats on the ground, with dense small tables and golden copper boxes on it. In the opened boxes, there were nearly ten thousand guibis of different colors, all with soft colorful silk.
These guibi were carefully placed on top of the cucumbers and several tables, forming a huge square array. Although they have experienced vicissitudes, they still retain the glory of the past, which made her think of the long-standing saying that "the one who holds jade and silk has all countries" and guessed their origins.
I saw that the shape and color of each piece of Guibi were different. Some were simple and heavy, while others were gorgeous and gorgeous. They were engraved with auspicious patterns and patterns representing various countries, clans and tribes, such as cracks and damage as time goes by.
They spread out on the orchid mat, like a sea of jade dots, as if telling the glorious history of Dayu meeting the princes in Kuaiji.
...
Lie Guiyu was on the orchid mat, igniting the fragrance of the sinking elm. This is a noble sacrifice ceremony, full of awe and piety, which made Zhao Qing feel a kind of tranquility and peace.
After carefully observing these Guibi, she gradually felt a strong sense of solemnity and sacredness from it, as if she could feel the prosperity and passion of that era.
In a trance, Zhao Qing seemed to see the scene of Dayu patrolling Maoshan and meeting all the ministers to plan their achievements. "Just traveling to the world, overseas guests, and the four barbarians accept their duties, and there is no far or far away." The momentum and ambition that swallowed mountains and rivers seemed to be still echoing in this air.
He stood at the top of Kuaiji, holding the Xuangui given by Emperor Shun, and overlooking the ministers below. His courage to rule the world was awe-inspiring.
There is no doubt that although the value of nearly 10,000 Guibi is not as valuable as those nine treasures even if it is added together, it is all a heritage that can be contacted and allowed to comprehend. However, it is extremely broad in scope and has nearly 10,000 options spread across the nine provinces and the four seas.

Walking between Guibi, which represents ancient history, she couldn't help but feel worried about how to choose. She had to take out Wenzi's information and initially selected a group of Fangguos, which were said to be more powerful back then, and it is speculated that these princes left a deeper Taoist connotation in Guibi.
Since the bronze box where Guibi is placed is engraved with the names of the corresponding states and the princes, considering that 99% of the countries have not left any traces in history books, Zhao Qing can understand their information, the method she used to screen is to try the ones she has heard of.
For example, the Youyu family, Youhu family, Youchao family, Kunwu family, Youge family, Younai family, Youqiong family, Tushan family, etc., especially the Youyu family and Tushan family among them, should have a good relationship with Dayu. The quality of Guibi presented is relatively high, and most of them have higher value for understanding.
After searching the locations of Guibi of the major clans, Zhao Qing and Yuan Gong went toward the Tushan clan and the other two copper boxes representing the Jinyun clan.
Just as she was about to try to touch the sun in the box with her fingers, the pure white Guibi engraved with a nine-tailed fox pattern and more than nine inches long, several new guests came to the door of Wangui Palace, four men and one woman, obviously having the same purpose as Zhao Qing.
Among them, the girl in a goose yellow dress looked at Zhao Qing in the hall from a distance, her eyes were slightly bright, as if she was familiar. The other young man with white eyebrows kept a distance from the other three young men, and suddenly made a sound, breaking the silence here:
"Depending on the girl's situation, I probably don't know how to choose? In fact, the inheritance of Taoism contained in the Guibi of Ten Thousand Nations has been a major change in the world over the past three generations, and many of them may not be able to adapt to the current era, and there are many side effects hidden, which need to be carefully considered."
"By the way, I'm always happy, I'm with you..." The young man's eyes stayed on the ape for a moment, and was still a little surprised at the fact that animals entered the ancestral temple. He continued: "Like this spiritual ape, they were recommended by Doctor Zhujiyang. Therefore, we may cooperate in the next step."
When he reported his name and surname, except for the girl in yellow, the other three young men gathered together could not help but look surprised. The oldest man, who looked slightly fat, coughed and asked, "Your Excellency, are you behind Mr. Wu Qingji?"
