Chapter 254 Another legend of Jiuding!
The First Emperor looked at Li Si who was sweating profusely and joked:
"Li Si, I'm afraid your body and bones are not as good as those of an ordinary person who is busy with farming."

"A little bit of field work makes you sweat like this."

"You have lost the true meaning of Confucianism's strength."

Hearing this, Li Si could only shake his head and smile bitterly.

It's not that Li Si is really weak, Confucianism has a martial arts heritage.

Although Li Si was good at statecraft, he was also a bit of a hunter in martial arts.But the problem is, having a strong body and knowing how to use farm tools are completely different things.

Li Si couldn't help but murmured:
"If Kong Sheng had never done farming, even if Kong Sheng was nine feet tall and six inches tall, he would not be much better than me."

It didn't take long for the First Emperor and Li Si to talk.

The old man came to the two of them with fragrant venison, stir-fried vegetables, and fragrant wine.

Smelling the aroma of meat and wine in front of them, the First Emperor and Li Si seemed to be no longer tired in an instant.

I immediately got into the process of enjoying lunch.

During the dinner, the First Emperor talked about what happened last night and said to the old man:

"Old man, did you feel any huge movement last night?"

"Can you see a figure like an immortal standing in the sky in the night?"

When he said this, the First Emperor stared closely at the old man's face, trying to see a hint of strange color on the old man's face.

Hearing this, the old man shook his head as if he didn't care at all, took a sip of wine and said:
"I am old and sleep deeply, but I have never felt any movement."

As soon as the old man said these words, the First Emperor's mind immediately moved!After looking at each other, Li Si made a tacit agreement not to discuss the matter.

In the eyes of the First Emperor, the old man's words were somewhat suspicious!

Last night, when the unknown existence came, at least within the entire Xianyang area.All creatures felt a huge sense of oppression, as if everyone was pulled into deep water in an instant.

The invisible pressure from all directions makes breathing extremely uncomfortable.

This feeling didn't disappear completely until the heavenly being stepped into the void.

Even if the old man sleeps deeply, judging from his current mental state, it is impossible not to feel the sense of oppression.

The First Emperor immediately realized that the old man must be deliberately hiding something.

But since the old man didn't want to say more, the First Emperor couldn't continue to ask further.

After a while, the First Emperor said casually:
"Old man, have you ever heard that there is something underneath our feet?"

"There is a broader inner earth world!"

"In that world, there are many ferocious beasts that are like myths!"

When the First Emperor mentioned the inner earth world, the old man shook his head as usual and said with a smile:
"It's not uncommon for me to hear supernatural things."

"But this is the first time I've heard people mention such weird gossip as the inner earth world."

Just when the First Emperor was deeply disappointed.

The old man spoke again:

"However, I have heard something even more mysterious!"

As soon as the old man said these words, all the curiosity in the Emperor's heart was immediately aroused.

He looked at the old man with shining eyes and asked:
"I wonder, old man, what kind of mysterious thing are you talking about?"

Facing the expectant looks of the First Emperor and Li Si, the old man slowly said:

"This matter is related to the Jiuding that has existed forever in China!"

As soon as the old man said this, both the First Emperor and Li Si looked solemn!
The First Emperor hurriedly asked the old man:

"Old man, I didn't expect you to know ancient secrets like Jiuding." "Can you tell me something about it?"

"I am very curious about ancient artifacts like Jiuding."

Looking at the First Emperor and Li Si, they had expressions on their faces that wanted to hear the great secret.

The old man smiled and slowly elaborated:
"Everyone knows that Jiuding was made by Dayu, the founder of the Xia Dynasty, who collected gold from all under heaven."

"It represents the nine states of China."

"Use it to suppress the fate of the world."

The First Emperor and Li Si nodded subconsciously after listening to the old man's description.

The allusion of Dayu casting the Nine Cauldrons was almost something that was passed down orally among the scholars of this era.

The Jiuding of the Xia Dynasty was almost a symbol of imperial power.

No matter which monarch, it is an artifact that is cherished.

But the old man's next words directly caused the two of them to fall into a state of shock!
I heard the old man continue to say:
"In the eyes of outsiders, Jiuding has more of a symbolic meaning, but it is not!"

"For thousands of years, Jiuding has been connected with China's destiny, and it has already become an artifact of destiny!"

"Only when Jiuding is in the same room, the world can be stable!"

"If the Nine Cauldrons are missing one cauldron."

"The fate of China will be in chaos, and sooner or later the world will fall into strife again until a new master appears!"

After the old man said this, he was like a sledgehammer, hitting the heart of the First Emperor.

The First Emperor was shocked and shocked at the same time!
Although he unified China, the Jiuding, which represents China's destiny, has not really been assembled!
On the way back to Xianyang, the Yuzhou Ding was transported back to Xianyang. Due to the sudden appearance of a demonic wind, the ship was overturned and the Yuzhou Ding accidentally fell into the Sishui River.

As a result, the eight tripods gathered in Xianyang and the whereabouts of one tripod remained unknown.

When the First Emperor thought of this, he immediately understood that the gods had always left behind the motto that the Qin Dynasty would be destroyed in the second generation.
In an instant, a look of sadness appeared on the face of the First Emperor. With a long sigh, he couldn't help but think:

"Is this the fate of Great Qin?"

The First Emperor's face was full of worry, which could not be expressed in his words.

Li Si on the side was also frightened and didn't know what to say.

The old man, however, was still drinking wine slowly, as if all this had nothing to do with him.

After a while, the First Emperor asked the old man worriedly:
"If the nine tripods are not aligned, isn't it destined to cause chaos in the world?"

"Is there any solution?"

Hearing this, the old man showed a smile and said slowly:

"Do you know that it's hard to recover when you overturn water?"

"If one of the nine tripods is missing, just find the missing tripod."

Hearing the old man's words, the First Emperor fell completely silent.Yuzhou Ding fell into the Sishui River, why didn't he send people down to look for it?
But even after searching all that stretch of river, no trace of the Yuzhou Cauldron was found.

It was as if Yuzhou Ding had been completely eaten by the mud at the bottom of the river.Or perhaps, he had been swept away by the turbulent currents and gone somewhere unknown.

The First Emperor had long given up any hope of retrieving the Yuzhou tripod.

Just when the First Emperor was in despair, he heard the old man say again:
"Of course, if you really can't find the lost cauldron"

"Then we can only find ways to deal with the people who should be robbed!"

The old man's words undoubtedly ignited the hope in the heart of the First Emperor.
