The Dragon's Secret Treasure

The Records of the Grand Historian, “Treatise on the Feng and Shan Sacrifices,” says: “Yu collected bronze from the nine provinces and cast nine tripods. They were all used to make offerings to the Supreme Emperor and the spirits. They flourished under sage rulers, and the tripods passed to the Xia and Shang dynasties. When Zhou virtue declined and the ancestral shrine of Song was destroyed, the tripods sank into obscurity and vanished from sight.” Now the Nanyi Ding, one of the oldest of the Nine Tripods, has appeared. Its intricate inscriptions conceal a shocking secret, and a conspiracy is quietly unfolding.
