Chapter 639 Lift the cauldron and the world will weigh you! (Part 2)
After the banquet, the day for lifting the cauldron was set in autumn, after offering sacrifices to Sheji.
Lu Cheng and Mana Storm rejected the "Gift from Duke Zhou" presented by the emperor, but the emperor was not upset and invited them to visit the Tibetan Palace.
The two of them were very interested in the collection. While walking around the Tibetan Palace, the two of them looked at and chatted.
"What do you mean by this card plot...?"
"Old Zhao, I don't know whether King Chu will lift him up, but we can lift him up anyway!" Lu Cheng is trying to find [the method of collecting wind], [the art of brewing gods]...
Mana Storm waved his hands one after another: "I can't do it. I'm Master Fa. I'm different from rough guys like you. Xiao Zhao, it's better for you to do it."
Lu Cheng thought about it and realized...
It is too much to ask Mr. Fa to do physical work.
"Okay, then I'll find a chance to try it out...if it happens, I'll have a good background so I can show off!"

Sacrifice to Sheji is a big event.
In the Zhou Dynasty, when the stars were at their peak every year, the star officials would use Zhou rituals to worship the heavens, attracting the power of the stars into the Nine Cauldrons to ensure the prosperity of the country.
During the Western Zhou Dynasty, the national power was at its peak. According to records, three thousand star officials and three Dayan star officials were dispatched for each sacrifice to Sheji. During each sacrifice time, the surrounding stars were so bright that they were projected into the astrology of Sinan, and finally turned into
In the Sheji Ding Palace, as you move around, you can hear the singing of stars and the roar of dragons.
By the time of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, talents had fallen by the wayside. Today, the number of ceremony officials has reached three thousand, but only one star official is left to start the ceremony.
Even so, offering sacrifices to Sheji is still an important ritual and will not be overshadowed by other activities.
But this time, the guest really took over.
Because King Zhuang wanted to lift the cauldron.
This is not the King of Chu's challenge to the Emperor, because he had already challenged it when he became king. This time it is the Emperor Zhou's response to the new challenge!
The King of Chu himself said that he must keep the appointment.
The sacrifice to Sheji was held on the outskirts of Luoyang. After the ceremony, the team returned and this was the main dish of the day!
.......
Jiuding is not in Xuansi Palace.
Its weight will break the palace's golden wire...
They were placed in the Longmen Sheji Hall and the Ding Palace.
It was also the first time for Lu Cheng to see Jiuding.
The nine states of Xia Ding are called Jizhou, Yanzhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Yangzhou, Jingzhou, Yuzhou, Liangzhou and Yongzhou. Their names are recorded in "Shang Shu Yu Gong".
As for Zhou Ding.
According to the records in "Zhou Li·Bianguan·Zhi Fangshi", there are no Liang and Xu, but You and Bing, because after King Wu destroyed the Yin and Shang Dynasties, he merged Xuzhou into Qingzhou, Liangzhou into Yongzhou, and Jizhou.
Bingzhou and Youzhou were separated.
In short, what is the name of the land of the Chinese human world, and what is the name of Jiuding.
Lu Cheng couldn't help but think that if he built it himself, there would be no Dongzhou Cauldron from another world.
In the Ding Palace, everyone stood in all directions.
King Chuzhuang doesn’t look particularly good...
There is no way to move the Jiuding, but it needs to undergo a ritual to make its weight lighter.
This is a direct lift... I have tried it, but no one has succeeded yet.
When he speaks out, the envoy is his mouthpiece. How can a real man say that he doesn't do it?
He really didn't want to come, but...
Once the tripod is successfully lifted, the benefits obtained are indescribable. Therefore, I summoned the strangers from Chu State to give it a try!
"My king heard that the King of Chu was fond of the tripod. He wanted to weigh it with his strength and return to Chu to imitate it. The Zhou tripod is here, please take it!" Wang Sunman, the doctor, stepped forward and made a gesture of invitation.
"Yes." King Chu nodded and waved to the back.
The strangers were about to step forward.
"Oh, King Chu!" Wang Sunman stopped him and said, "If it is proportional to the sacrifice, how can we know the true weight of the tripod?"
"You!!" King Chu's face turned blue and white.
"What Doctor Wang said makes sense." Emperor Zhou said in support, "Mr., please don't make the wrong imitation."
The Emperor of Zhou still called the King of Chu Duke in front of others, but the King of Chu didn't take it seriously at the moment, because his enemy today... was not the Emperor of Zhou, but... Jiuding!
"Okay, okay, okay!" King Chu said hello three times: "The Nine Cauldrons are the most important thing in the world. Today, I will come and have a chat!"
...
...
After King Chu finished speaking, he walked to the tripod and took a deep breath.
Everyone held their breath and watched King Chu's movements.
boom!
When the king of Chu and the tripod collided, huge pressure instantly spread throughout the tripod palace. The palace servants with low cultivation levels were fighting, unable to stand, and fell to the ground!
"Let me go, Xiao Zhao, this King of Chu has a lot of strength!" Mana Storm praised.
"But the tripod didn't move..." Lu Cheng curled his lips.
That's right.
King Chu's energy put the entire Ding Palace under heavy pressure, but one of the Nine Cauldrons still did not move at all.
.......
After a long stalemate, King Chu became a little worried.
Give a loud shout.
Just this sound made the Ding Palace tremble!
Wang Sunman's face changed slightly: "Your Majesty, this King of Chu is probably cheating, and General Shen Xi next to him is giving him strength!"
But Emperor Zhou smiled slightly and shook his head: "It doesn't matter, it's not even close. King Chu will either die today, or he will be disgraced and be laughed at by everyone in the world."
...
The palace people were not as calm as Emperor Zhou.
Because, the huge force caused the Cauldron Palace to crack and collapse inch by inch!
drink!!
King Chu shouted loudly again
The huge tripod palace finally could not withstand the pressure and collapsed suddenly, the earth sank, and the palace residents fled in all directions.
Then, everyone felt the earth rise...
The power of King Chu actually uprooted the Ding Palace and the entire land...!
...
King Chu's crown and robes had long since torn apart, and his muscles were knotted, as if a dragon and tiger were carrying him on his back!
"How!!! How!!!" He shouted wildly in the crumbling ruins. After all, the palace collapsed and the ground collapsed. How could the tripod be immovable?
"Please take a closer look..." the voice of Emperor Zhou came.
The King of Chu was relieved and took a closer look...
The Cauldron Palace collapsed and the earth sank, but... the cauldron in front of me actually hung in the air and remained at the same horizontal position as before... without moving at all.
puff!
King Chu, a mouthful of blood spurted out.
Immediately afterwards, in the Chu army camp, the thirty-six Shenxi generals vomited blood one after another, and eleven of them died suddenly on the spot!
Sitting slumped on the ground, King Chu looked pale...
"My lord, there is no need to be like this!" Emperor Zhou hurriedly stepped forward to help the King of Chu himself: "Shall we try to be gentler?"
The king of Chu threw the emperor away and wanted to stand up, but he couldn't...
"Oh, sir, you don't have to be so stubborn. Jiuding cannot be lifted by manpower. Look...who's coming~" Emperor Zhou clapped his hands and found a frightened palace maid.
"Go and show it to King Chu."
This move is ironic.
The girl was so frightened that her face turned pale... With her level of cultivation, would she still be alive after forcibly lifting the Nine Cauldrons?
"The Great...The King..."
"Forget it." Emperor Zhou waved his hand when he saw this: "Go down."
The King of Chu was frustrated, but the Emperor of Zhou was in a really good mood and did not make things difficult for his maids.
However, seeing that the King of Chu was seriously injured, he would probably die suddenly if he could not recover if he returned home...
Even if I give you a chance, you won’t use it!
The emperor suddenly became playful.
"It's really a pity that Mr. Chu didn't lift it. But even with Chu Gong's ability, no one can lift it. Let's just hold a tripod-lifting meeting today so that all capable people can give it a try, hahaha."
