In this vast eastern land, there have always been legends of Jiuding among the people, but without exception, they are all filled with horror and the knowledge of Luo Ning's previous life...ωωw..net
Big difference!
There is an old folk legend in Yizhou... Jiuding was a sacrificial vessel used by a tyrant in ancient times to worship the evil god who destroyed the world.
The tyrant put the blood, souls, organs, and pain of the people and beasts into the Jiuding, and placed them in his palace to worship the evil god of destruction, in order to protect his throne forever.
In order to show his sincerity, he killed nine of his sons and threw them into Jiuding, representing himself as a sacrifice to the evil god with his body and soul.
One of the sons was named Liang. The tripod into which Liang was thrown was called the Liangzhou tripod...isn't that ridiculous?
In order to satisfy the fierce god, the tyrant buried the Nine Cauldrons in nine directions, constantly devouring living beings, causing all kinds of disasters that would never stop.
In ancient times, it was divided into Kyushu.
The Jiuding is the sacrificial vessel of the tyrant, the food utensils and wine bottles of the fierce god, but it is filled with mountains of corpses and seas of blood, surging resentment, and spreading ominous omens all the time...
Jiuding is actually the netherworld in nine directions, so the netherworld is called Jiuquan, Jiuyou...
Such legends of the Nine Cauldrons were spread among the people in various places, but Luoning scorned them.
Nonsense, I don’t believe it!
For his soul who came from the prosperous era, these legends had too many holes and could not withstand scrutiny.
A treasure like Jiuding is actually associated with an unspeakable horror... It's outrageous!
He was sure that at least people like Cai Ji and Su Xian would never believe it.
"Second brother, do you believe the legend about Jiuding?" Luo Ning said in a quiet tone while looking at the complicated map.
"Jiuding?" Li Dingguo thought for a while, shook his head and said, "To be honest, I don't believe it. If Jiuding is really that terrifying, are there any people in the world today?"
"If the teaching is true, then the disasters and disasters in this world are all Jiuding's fault and have nothing to do with the government, the court, the demons and ghosts, right?"
"However, most people in the world believe in it."
"Brother, is this picture related to Jiuding?"
Luo Ning nodded, "Yes. It's the secret about Liangzhou Ding. The picture says that Liangzhou Ding is hidden in Moxue Mountain in Tubo!"
"This thing is no small matter!"
"This is an ancient picture, with demon skin as paper and demon blood as ink. It is immortal to this day." Luo Ning put the picture into the stage space, "But this picture is... of no use to us for the time being."
This picture must be of great importance. The great monk probably died just to obtain this picture.
However, no matter what kind of treasure the Liangzhou Cauldron is, he does not have the ability to get it.
His strength is too weak, his status is too low, and his vision is too small, so this picture is of little use to him.
Luo Li looked like he was about to cry, "It turns out it's just a weird picture. Alas..."
She sighed like a resentful girl, her face full of unwillingness.
Luo Ning laughed and touched her head, "Who said there is only this picture?" Yang Yang held the black jade box in his hand, "Do you know the value of the box?"
"This is Black Mysterious Jade, the best inkstone for drawing talismans. Such a large Black Mysterious Jade is worth more than a thousand gold?"
What? It’s worth more than a thousand gold? When Luo Li heard this, he immediately beamed.
She took the black jade box engraved with exquisite cloud patterns and unicorn patterns and couldn't put it down.
"Huh?" Li Dingguo's expression changed. He took it and looked at the cloud-patterned unicorn pattern carefully, and said slowly and solemnly: "Embroidered Clothes Envoy?"
"Brother, this is the pattern of the Xiuyi Mansion. Only the Xiuyi Messenger can use it."
Xiuyi Mansion!
Luo Ning couldn't help but frown when he heard this.
"Second brother, are you sure?"
"I'm sure. It's the pattern of Daxia Xiuyi Mansion. The owner of this box must be an embroidery envoy, and definitely not an ordinary embroidery envoy, at least a fifth-grade eagle envoy."
After all, Li Dingguo's ancestor was the founding duke and he knew more about this than Luo Ning.
Luo Ning looked at the black jade box and said, "It seems that this thing can no longer be sold in Ling City. It can only be used by myself to draw talismans?"
Luo Jiaban is short of money now. He originally wanted to sell it to get some money to spend.
But after hearing what Li Dingguo said, he couldn't take action.
Otherwise, how much trouble would he cause if someone from Xiuyi Mansion found him?
What is Xiuyi Mansion? In Luo Ning's opinion, it is a secret service agency such as Jinyiwei and Juntong.
One of the spy organizations directly under the control of the Great Xia Emperor.
Why do you say one? Because there is also Sunflower Mansion.
In Luo Ning's view, Xiuyi Mansion and Kuihua Mansion are the two swords of the Great Xia Emperor, and they are also an important force for the emperor to check and balance the Confucian and Taoist groups and deter monsters and monsters.
The Xiuyi Mansion is led by the emperor's confidants who are born into hereditary nobles. The Sunflower Mansion...is run by the eunuch of the inner court.
But for some unknown reason, the reputation of Xiuyi Mansion has been overshadowed by Kuihua Mansion in the past twenty years and has gradually declined.
But the Sunflower Mansion is becoming more and more powerful. Especially Wei Zhongxuan, the commander of the Sunflower Mansion, is said to be nine thousand years old, famous all over the world, and powerful.
Even ordinary people in Emei County, which is tens of thousands of miles away from Beijing, have heard of the infamous Nine Thousand Years Old.
But few people know who the Xiuyi governor is.
"It can't be sold..." Luo Li's happiness was gone.
Luo Ning consoled him: "Li'er, I know how to draw talismans, but I am missing the Taoist pen, ink, paper and inkstone. This black jade box can be used as an inkstone, and it is also an indispensable spiritual object."
Yes, the mysterious jade inkstone is also something he needs.
If he wants to draw a physical talisman that can be sold, in addition to consuming the power of the Lingdao beads, he also needs special pens, inks, paper and inkstones for talismans.
In fact, these things are not easy to buy. The most difficult thing to buy is the mysterious jade inkstone.
Even if the Xuanyu box is not sold, it is still profitable as an inkstone.
"It's actually simple." Luo Ning split the box and lid into two halves, "The lid is used as an inkstone, and the box is sold. I wear a mask to sell it. Who knows who I am?"
Li Dingguo nodded: "This is a way to kill two birds with one stone. But those people in Ling City are all monks. They have monsters and ghosts, and there are dangers in buying and selling things."
"When the big brother leaves with a windfall, there will probably be monks following him."
Luo Li immediately took Luo Ning's hand, "Then it's better not to sell it. I don't want my brother to take risks in Naling City."
Li Dingguo suddenly walked up to the deserted tomb, bowed and said, "I'm sorry, senior. Don't be surprised if I want to open the grave and check it out."
After saying that, he used the long knife in his hand to dig up the soil.
What he did was what Luo Ning wanted to do.
So Luo Ning also stepped forward unceremoniously and started taking action together.
Luo Li was not afraid at all, but stood on tiptoe and watched the two brothers digging the grave with great interest.
There was no coffin in the tomb, and it was not buried deep enough, so it was dug out quickly.
The corpse was only wrapped in a mat and quilt, and had rotted into bones.
Logically speaking, the physical body of a great monk is so strong that it will never become a withered skeleton in twenty years.
His bones are black and emit a bitter and strange smell.
I feel dizzy when I smell the smell.
"So that's it..." Luo Ning's consciousness swept away and he suddenly understood, "What a powerful poison! The main cause of this person's death was poisoning!"
"No wonder he, a great monk, rotted into dry bones in twenty years."
His bones were broken, but that wasn't the cause of death. The terrifying poison was.
"His bone age is about 150 years old, which is not too old among the great monks."
Li Dingguo used a knife to push aside the dilapidated cotton wool and bamboo mats, allowing Luo Ning to take a closer look.
"Huh?" Luo Ning immediately found a ring in the deceased's stomach.
The ring is very delicate and stands out among the black bones.
Luo Ning suddenly became excited when he saw the ring.
The Great Monk's Sumeru Ring!
"He must have swallowed the ring before he died, fearing that it would fall into the hands of others."
Luo Ning carefully picked up the ring, "Why don't you put the important hidden tripod picture into the ring and swallow it together?"
"I understand. He was worried that others would disembowel him and search for it, so he didn't dare to put the hidden tripod picture into the ring and swallow it."
As Luo Ning spoke, he inspired his spiritual consciousness to open the ring's restrictions.
The man had been dead for twenty years, and his strength was greatly reduced before his death. Keloning still spent a lot of effort and used the Taoist forbidden spell to open the ring.
As soon as his spiritual consciousness swept in, he first saw a cloud-patterned unicorn jade tablet.
Very luxurious, grand and exquisite.
Luo Ning took out the jade plaque and saw two words engraved on the reverse: "Lu Zhi."
"It's him!" Li Dingguo couldn't help blurting out.
