Jiangzhou City is located north of the central part of the Yangtze River. It is an ancient city, close to the waters of the Yangtze River and has capital for development. However, there has been no great celebrity in history. Therefore, it is not famous in history books, but it also has a real history of nearly 5,000 years. According to legend, the history of Jiangzhou City can be traced back to the ancient Battle of Huangdi and Chiyou.

It is said that this was once a base camp for the Jiuli Chiyou tribe built by Huangdi. Unfortunately, it was destroyed by Chiyou soon. Then the Jiuli army headed north and marched into the Central Plains. Unfortunately, Chiyou failed in the end. When he retreated, he passed by here again and finally retreated to the south of the Yangtze River.

Of course, these are legends.

However, Jiangzhou's history is indeed a long history.

Therefore, this is a small town with a very popular ancient style, with a population of two million. You can see some things that contain cultural history everywhere, such as door archways, bluestone pillars beside the streets, land temples at the foot of the mountain, and many old objects on the antique streets.

In addition to these things that literati play with and the strange things that are magical and gods, there are also several more famous places to learn martial arts.

There are three martial arts places in Jiangzhou. In addition to the Zangding Temple located on Wusheng Mountain in the north of the city, there are also the Liuhe Boxing Pavilion, which circulates from the north in the city and the Tai Chi Pavilion.

The Liuhe Boxing Gym and the Tai Chi Boxing Gym have a history of nearly a hundred years. They were opened in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China. There have been many celebrities coming here to discuss and leave many good names in history.

However, the Zangding Temple is the oldest building in Jiangzhou, and it also teaches some health martial arts. It is said that this Taoist temple has existed since the Three Kingdoms period. It seems that it was built by the order of the Martial Saint Guan Yu when he was in power in Jingzhou. This is also the origin of the name of this mountain, named Wusheng Mountain. At the same time, there is a huge statue of Guan Erye on the mountain behind the Taoist temple. It is recorded in Taoist temple classics that it was personally carved by a Taoist priest during the Tang Dynasty. After thousands of years of wind and rain, it still stands, exuding a sharp momentum.

This statue of Guan Erye is a rare swordless martial saint statue. That is, this statue of Guan Erye does not have a knife, but is a posture of standing on horseback and punching.

Many people questioned the origin of the statue based on the posture of the statue, asserting that it was not from the Tang Dynasty, but from the Song Dynasty, or even from the late Southern Song Dynasty.

Because, many people say that boxing was popular in the Song Dynasty, and Song Taizu also created the Zhao Taizu Changquan, and Zhang Sanfeng, a master of Tai Chi, appeared in the Yuan Dynasty.

When Wang Cheng heard that someone else was talking about this, he smiled.

The statue of Guan Erye is a hidden tripod, and the classics in the temple are also clearly recorded. It was carved by a real person with the Taoist name Songzi in the temple at the age of 40 during the reign of Emperor Gaozu of the Tang Dynasty. It took three years to complete. The classics in the temple are even recorded that the two famous masters of the Tang Dynasty, Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng, had come here to observe.

However, Wang Cheng saw from the classics that Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng came here to observe the statue of Guan Erye just by way of doing it, because they knew Chang Songzi. Their main purpose was to study and watch the huge bronze tripod erected in the square in front of the Zangding Temple.

This is the origin of the Tibetan tripod temple. When the Martial Saint Guan Yu built this gym here, he named it the Tibetan tripod temple because of this bronze tripod.

Wang Cheng read the classics and recorded that the Martial Saint Guan Yu plundered this huge bronze tripod from a tribe of YN. He spent a lot of manpower to transport it back to Jingzhou, but Jingzhou was not suitable for placement because the place was borrowed, so it was placed in Jiangzhou, and a Taoist temple was built, and several Taoist priests were invited to station here.

Legend has it that this bronze tripod hides some secrets, but no one knows it for thousands of years. Perhaps the martial saint Guan Yu, who tried his best to snatch the bronze tripod from the southern barbarian tribe, knew it, but he did not leave any words, nor did he leave any text description.

So, this is an eternal mystery.

This bronze tripod is also called the Tibetan tripod, and this Taoist temple is also called the Tibetan tripod.

Wang Cheng is a high school student who works in the summer. Since he came to work in Taoist temple, he naturally followed the local customs and wore Taoist clothes and became a little Taoist priest. His job was to clean, organize books and documents in Zangding Temple. Such errands were not easy to do. At the beginning, dozens of people came to compete for this position. Although they were not as good as those popular positions in government departments, there were so many people competing for the hardships in this mountain, which shows how much employment pressure is now.

However, this may also be related to the treatment. After working for three months, I earned nearly 10,000 yuan, which attracted many young people who didn't want to work for a long time. Finally, Taoist priests from Taoist temple selected Wang Cheng from more than a dozen high school students, which made Wang Cheng very excited. The income of 10,000 yuan was enough for him and his sister to spend the next semester.

Early in the morning, Wang Cheng would come to the square in front of the Taoist temple with a bucket of water and a large broom to clean it. This was one of his daily tasks. It would take at least an hour to clean the square, and wipe the bronze cauldron. It basically took half a day to pass. In the afternoon, he would go to the library in the backyard to clean up the documents and classics.

This is how Wang Cheng came here for more than two months.

He hurriedly swept the square and sprinkled water. Wang Cheng used a ladder to come to the Tibetan tripod and wiped the dust on it. This was the signboard of the Tibetan tripod and the most famous cultural relic in Jiangzhou. According to the identification, it was at least a huge bronze ware from the Warring States Period. It was famous and surnamed in the national treasure spectrum. Less than 500 meters below the Tibetan tripod, there was a 24-hour police station, which was specially designed to protect this bronze tripod, and people were staring at this bronze tripod almost at all times.

Of course, someone was watching Wang Cheng clean the process. The bucket of water was specially sent by someone, and was specially used to wipe the hidden tripod.

In addition to Wang Cheng, there were several Taoist priests who cleaned together. After all, the hidden tripod was quite large, nearly ten meters high, and nine bronze pillars with a diameter of fifty centimeters stood in nine directions. The pillars were about five meters high. Each pillar was carved with dragons with fangs and claws. The tripod on the pillars had a diameter of eight or nine meters, and many complex patterns were carved on it. The portraits of figures and animals were very hideous and rough. At first glance, it was the style of ancient times, and there were also some ancient hieroglyphs, which were written about mountains, forests, wind and rain, etc.

Not far away, there were several policemen walking back and forth. This was the police station's mission every morning - patrolling the entire mountain.

"Little orange, go up and wipe it inside."

Taoist Changxu, who had worked in Zangding Temple for ten years, stood below and said to Wang Cheng that he was a supervisor and a cultural relics custodian of Zangding Temple. He was a civil servant in the country. Nowadays, Taoist monks and monks have also had golden rice bowls.

He is wearing a Taoist robe, gold-rimmed glasses, and a crown on his head. Taoist priest Changxu has a very demeanor and style. He is considered to be a bit famous in the southern cultural circle, so he usually has a higher attitude and ordinary people ignore it.

Wang Cheng agreed and ran to the cauldron along the ladder. For more than two months, he had tried to come to the cauldron to clean it in person every day because there were some things he was interested in.

According to the verification, this Tibetan tripod has been confirmed to be something before the Warring States Period, and may be an old thing from the Shang and Zhou dynasties. The specific age cannot be verified because there is no clear sign on the above to prove which period it is.

Wang Cheng’s biggest hobby is martial arts and ancient culture. It can also be said that martial arts is the biggest interest. Ancient culture is learned by the way to better learn martial arts. After all, many ancient books are written in a foggy way. If you don’t understand the ancient culture, you will not understand it at all, and you can’t even recognize the fonts.

He came to work in Zangdingguan during the summer vacation. In addition to his salary of 10,000 yuan, he also wanted to learn the martial arts of Zangdingguan.

There are many ancient hieroglyphs engraved inside this cauldron, corresponding to the nine carved dragon leg pillars below. There are nine big characters, namely heaven, earth, man, wind, rain, mountains, marina, qi, and fire. Each big character is surrounded by dense small characters, as well as some patterns of people or animals.

Due to the age of these fonts, no one can recognize them yet, but the archaeological experts have copied several copies.

Of course, Wang Cheng could not be more powerful than those archaeological experts. But he instinctively felt that the text in the Tibetan Ding must have some secrets, so he would watch it carefully every day, remember it, search for answers through the Internet, or in the documents in the Tibetan Ding Temple. After so long, he obviously has not found the answer.

Carefully following the first instructions of Taoist Changxu, he cleaned the inside of the Zangding Temple step by step and wiped it to the middle. There was a semicircular protrusion with a diameter of about 50 cm, with a ferocious beast avatar carved on it. Wang Cheng hurriedly wiped it, and suddenly saw that the beast avatar seemed to move, and his eyes seemed to blink.

Amazement!

Wang Cheng was stunned, and then looked carefully. The beast's avatar was quietly on the semicircular bulge, without moving.

Did you see it wrong?

After looking at it again, there was indeed nothing surprising. As before, Wang Cheng could only attribute it to himself that he had not slept well last night when he practiced boxing too late last night. He quickly wiped and cleaned other places.

However, at this time, a wave of guests came to Zangding Temple.

"Master Changxu, Liu Qing from the Xialiuhe Boxing Hall, came to Guiguan to discuss some martial arts experience. I wonder if I can let Taoist Changhe come out and give me some advice."

A sound full of energy and very familiarity came.

When Wang Cheng heard this, he was shocked again and murmured in a low voice: "Why is Master Liu coming?"

The next time I turned around, I was about to go and take a look, but my feet touched a bronze dent in the Tibetan tripod, and I staggered and fell down, my head hit the circular bulge in the middle, and a muffled bang, as if the sound of a bell from Shaolin Temple, and the entire Tibetan tripod vibrated.

Taoist Master Changxu and others were shocked when they stood below and shouted quickly, "Go up and see what happened." He turned to Liu Qing and said, "Master Liu, you want to come and ask for martial arts, but go directly to find my senior brother." After that, he was worried, so he climbed up the hidden cauldron to take a look.

The little Taoist Wang Cheng hit the bronze semicircle in the middle of the hidden tripod, and a hole broke out in his head, blood flowed, dyeing most of the bronze semicircle red.

"Send it to the hospital quickly."

Taoist Master Changxu called out anxiously.

Several Taoist priests hurriedly lifted Wang Cheng up, put him down carefully, and took him into the car to drive to the hospital.

Taoist Master Changxu stayed on the hidden tripod and wiped the semi-circular ball in the middle with the rag where Wang Cheng worked, wiped the blood on it clean, and was stunned.

"Where did the beast's avatar carving go on this?"

Taoist Master Changxu looked at the smooth bronze semisphere as smooth as a mirror and widened his eyes.
