Chapter 180: The corpse pit is a treasure of Kyushu Cauldron
Listening to Lao Hei's shrill howl in the Ten Thousand Bones Pit, Liu Shiba suddenly became anxious and stretched out his hand to pull back the climbing rope...
Cao Xiong and Li Ergou also hurriedly stepped forward to help...
After a while, I saw Lao Hei being pulled back, but there were two more things!
Lao Hei had a black thing in his mouth and a long thing hanging on his front legs.
They pulled Lao Hei up, who was screaming in agony. They were shocked to find that there was a big black snake biting Lao Hei's leg.
This kind of snake is called the sharp-nosed adder, commonly known as the five-step snake and the hundred-step snake.
This snake's head is triangular in shape, its snout protrudes upwards, its back is grey-brown, covered with gray-white diamond-shaped square spots, its ventral surface is white, and there are many obvious black round spots.
Generally, the larger ones are about one and a half meters long, but the one that Lao Hei is biting on his leg is obviously larger, at least three meters long, about the thickness of a child's arm.
Cao Xiong, an old guy, was overjoyed when he saw this. He quickly stepped forward and pinched the snake's seven inches, looking up to the sky and laughing:
"Great tonic! What a night of snake meat soup!"
"Woo...Woo!"
Lao Hei lay on the ground, staring at Cao Xiong coldly with his golden eyes and snorted twice.
Cao Xiong immediately said with a charming smile:
"Of course I have to give Lao Hei a fill-in for most of it!"
Lao Hei was extremely psychic. He actually wagged his tail when he heard this and seemed extremely satisfied!
Liu Shiba was speechless and began to observe the black clown thing that Lao Hei bit into.
Li Ergou squatted on the ground and lifted it gently with his hands, grinning and saying:
"This thing is so heavy! It weighs over a hundred pounds."
At this time, Cao Xiong put down the viper, walked over and screamed with his eyes wide open:
"Is this a small bronze tripod?"
"Little cauldron? Why is there a small cauldron in a mass grave?"
Liu Shiba asked curiously.
Cao Xiong touched his beard, frowned and thought for a moment:
"I can't tell you exactly. It's no more than half a person tall and weighs no more than a hundred kilograms. What kind of cauldron is this?"
With the light of the miner's lamp next to him, Cao Xiong took a closer look and saw that it was a small purple three-legged tripod that looked extremely exquisite.
The height of the small tripod is about eighty centimeters. The strange thing is that there is a lid on the top of the small tripod.
The tripod is engraved with dense patterns. When you look closer, you can’t see the patterns clearly. You just think they are carvings of mountains and rivers.
There are several small seal-engraved inscriptions on the lid of the small tripod, but it is hard to see what they are because they are covered in dust.
When they took the small tripod to a bright place in the basement and took a closer look, Liu Shiba and Li Ergou didn't feel anything, but Cao Xiong's expression changed drastically.
A look of disbelief appeared on Cao Xiong's face, and he stared blankly at the little tripod in front of him and said:
"How...how is this possible? It's actually it, it's actually it? It's unbelievable. I didn't expect that I, Cao Xiong, would still be able to see this incredible treasure in my lifetime."
When Liu Shiba heard Cao Xiong's words, he couldn't help but said in surprise:
"Old man Cao, what happened to this little tripod? Maybe it just fell in accidentally."
Cao Xiong looked at Liu Shiba and Li Ergou, lowered his voice and said with trembling:
"Eighteen, this little tripod has an extraordinary origin. If I read it correctly, old man, the inscription on the tripod means "Nine Cauldrons of Dayu".
This small cauldron is the nine cauldron that is famous all over the world and determines the nine states. It’s just completely different from the legend. Why is it so small?”
"What did you say? Such a small tripod is the Jiuzhou tripod. Did you read that correctly, Mr. Cao?
This is when Xia Yu was controlling the floods, he cast the Nine Tripods to represent the nine states of China and became a symbol of the princes who ruled China and founded the country.
The Jiuding symbolizes the unification of the Nine Provinces and the high concentration of royal power, and shows that the King of Xia has become the common master of the world. Is the tripod a symbol of compliance with the destiny of heaven?"
Liu Shiba was stunned, staring at the small tripod, thinking:
Isn’t it said that it was lost in Pengcheng, Surabaya?
"That's right, the old man also does some research on ancient texts, and he is basically certain that it is the legendary treasure.
But why can such a small person not understand what is in this cauldron? I am also very curious..."
As Cao Xiong answered, he stared at the lid of the small tripod in wonder!
Several people secretly thought: What could be inside?
Liu Shiba couldn't restrain his curiosity and said with a smile:
"Since you're so interested, you might as well open it and take a look."
"Okay, just open it and take a look to see what's weird. You guys should stand back. If something goes wrong, it won't be good if you get hurt."
After Cao Xiong finished speaking, he winked at Li Ergou, who stopped in front of Liu Shiba knowingly.
If something really goes wrong, you can still help stop it.
Even though Cao Xiong is over sixty years old, he is not lazy in his martial arts. Although he is a fortune teller, he is at least as strong as a third-grade warrior.
His explosive power is not to mention a thousand pounds, but even if he is a little older, he still has three or four hundred pounds.
"snort!"
I saw Cao Xiong solemnly walking to the small purple copper tripod, clamping the small tripod tightly with his legs and knees, then holding the mouth of the tripod with his left hand, holding a copper ring on the tripod cover with his right hand, staring and inhaling, slightly
With a muffled groan, he raised his right hand upwards.
"Pfft... Huh?"
The depressed Cao Xiong pulled his luck upwards two or three times, but the lid of the small cauldron did not move at all. Cao Xiong couldn't help but become so angry that his beard curled up, and his old face turned slightly red!
Liu Shiba looked at it and felt something was wrong. He walked to the small tripod and looked carefully. There was obviously a gap between the lid and the mouth of the tripod, so it was not a solid tripod. Why couldn't it be opened?
Could it be a screw mouth? This is impossible. More than a thousand years ago, there was no such thing as a screw mouth.
After circling the small tripod a few times, Liu Shiba discovered that there was a semicircular bulge under the bracelet on the lid of the purple small tripod.
Then, Liu Shiba gently wiped the remaining bone dust with his hands, then brought his mouth together and blew gently...
"call!"
Where the small tripod bulges, a small horizontal hole appears. The hole is rectangular, about two centimeters long and three centimeters wide.
The small hole is blocked by bone fragments and will not be able to be cleaned out for a while.
Liu Shiba calmed down for a moment, looked at Li Ergou and said solemnly:
"Uncle Ergou, this small tripod is placed alone with the things in the tomb above. The small tripod is specially packed with a box.
After we have settled in, we will study whether this tripod is really the world-famous Kyushu tripod.
I suspect that the purpose of the Japanese attack on Liujiatun this time is probably it, the Jiuzhou Tripod that determines the world!"
"good."
Li Ergou nodded, carried Xiaoding on his back, and still stood behind Liu Shiba.
Seeing that Li Ergou was so old and still being respectful to him, to be honest, Liu Shiba felt a little bit sorry!
After all, he was a semi-intellectual with modern education, and he was not very touched by the ancient idea of loyalty to the emperor.
It's just that it looks a little strange from the inside.
But Liu Shiba also knew that it would be useless even if he talked to Li Ergou. In terms of title, Li Ergou could compromise and let himself call him Uncle Ergou, which was already a big concession.
But one thing is that Li Ergou and his wife are different from others. They are people that they can completely trust.
For Liujiatun and their own Liu family, the couple lost their two daughters and their father Li Laifu!
Liu Shiba thought of this and sighed slightly:
"Let's go back to the Storm Battleship to take revenge! By the way, Sigou girl seems a little unwell?"
Cuihua smiled and said:
"The four dogs are trying their best and we are pregnant with a baby!"
Liu Shiba was stunned. Li Sigou was Li Ergou's second daughter. She was not pretty and she was not married. Where did she come from?
Seeing Liu Shiba's doubtful eyes, Li Ergou blushed and said:
"Ning Haidong's seed!"
"Ah? Uncle Ergou, you are really not an honest person..."
Liu Shiba was stunned.
