Chapter 259: The Magic Mirror

is about the same size as Liu Sandao, with dark skin, and the two of them stand together as if they are brothers.

After a few simple polite words, Zheng Shaoqiu took out a cigarette and handed it over, and then the three of them followed the crowd unhurriedly and came to a remote corner.

This place was originally also a stall, the stall owner was selling jadeite rough stones, and then because the location was really remote, it could not attract any customers at all, so it was idle, and over time, no one rented it.

Liu Sandao's mind is very active, and he knows the rules to some extent, but as an intermediary, he is on Zheng Shaoqiu's side.

"It's what you want. ”

Chen Guang handed over a black plastic bag and said softly.

Zheng Shaoqiu nodded, and after taking it, he opened it directly, and suddenly a somewhat blackened bronze mirror appeared in front of him, in addition to that, there was a strong earthy smell.

"Huh?"

He raised his eyebrows imperceptibly and snorted, "Raw pit goods?"

Although I haven't gotten my hands on it yet, I can't hide the smell.

Hearing these three words, a touch of unnaturalness flashed on Chen Guang's swarthy face, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and even his eyes were a little fluttering.

He laughed twice, shook his head and said, "No, no, no, no, this is dug out of the ancestral grave of my hometown, and it is ripe ......."

Liu Sandao, who was on the side, immediately changed his face when he heard this, pointed at his nose and scolded: "You immortal banban, Chen Laoliu, you even lied to me, didn't you?"

"Turtle Sun is not real at all. ”

"Wow!"

Chen Guang was sprayed with foam, scratched his head in embarrassment, and sprinkled dandruff all over the ground.

After a pause, he said with some embarrassment: "Brother Dao, how dare I lie to you, it was really dug out of the ancestral grave, and it was ...... when the grave was moved."

"Look, look closely, there's black embroidery on it......"

Liu Sandao's eyes widened angrily, glared at him fiercely, and then looked at Zheng Shaoqiu, and said softly: "I'm sorry, I ......"

Before he finished speaking, Zheng Shaoqiu waved his hand and said casually: "It doesn't matter, whether it's raw or cooked, as long as the thing is real." ”

As he spoke, he picked up the black plastic bag on the ground, put it on his hand, stretched out his middle finger, and slowly lifted it up with the edge of the mirror.

Strictly speaking, this is a side of bronze gold.

It is about 178 centimeters in diameter and less than 2 centimeters thick.

There are large green spots on the mirror surface, which occupy almost half of the area.

The so-called green spots, in fact, are also patina, and there are many small brownish-red bumps on them, which will have a matte feeling when touched by hand.

There are several patterns on the outside of the bronze mirror, which are all tiger rabbits, and they are obviously shaped with the zodiac signs.

Zheng Shaoqiu's face did not change in the slightest, and after looking at it for a few seconds, his wrist flipped, and the back of the bronze mirror came into view.

Like this bronze mirror, as long as you look at the back, you can tell whether it is genuine or fake, and you can also tell the origin and year.

The weight of this thing is not light, it has to be about three kilograms, Zheng Shaoqiu only used two fingers to complete a flip, if Huangpu Jun and others saw this unique hand, they would definitely be shocked and speechless.

The overall shape of the back is somewhat unique, with a square button in the middle, a square mountain shape on the left, and water ripples on the right, and the sun, moon and stars on it, which looks very mysterious.

The pattern is simple and elegant, clear at a glance, and there are many inscriptions engraved in the blank space.

However, most of the inscriptions are dyed with black embroidery, which is not real, and you can only vaguely see the words heaven and earth, the sun and the moon, and all things.

Compared with the front, the back is also very rusty, but the overall look gives people an indescribable mysterious feeling, as if heaven and man are one, and the Tao is natural.

Zheng Shaoqiu's heart moved slightly, and a flash of joy flashed in his eyes.

If he is not mistaken, the age of this bronze mirror is not short, more than a thousand years, don't look at the black embroidery, but in fact, it is very well preserved.

In the prosperous Tang Dynasty, one after another romantic figures emerged, this bronze mirror is the Tang Dynasty period, the royal royal weapon, named the heaven and earth, the sun and the moon and the five mountains of the gossip mirror.

As we all know, in the Tang Dynasty, Taoism developed to the peak level, because the Li Tang family itself was a Hu people, which was not tolerated by the world, even if it later sat on the world, it was still inevitable that there would be a lot of criticism.

One of the reasons is because of identity.

Although Li Tang is also one of the eight great families, in the eyes of those gate valves in the Central Plains, he is not qualified to lift shoes for himself, and he is completely a turtle.

You must know that in the vast history, many of the world's gate lords have chosen to marry with the royal family to consolidate their status, which is a benefit for both parties.

However, in the Tang Dynasty, this was not the case at all.

At that time, the gate valve was completely disdainful of the royal family, and he didn't look down on it from the bottom of his bones.

Of course, in addition to the reason of identity, it is also because Li Tang's family style is really absurd and despised.

Tang Taizong occupied his younger brother and daughter-in-law, and the female emperor who leaned towards the government and the opposition was just a concubine in her early years.

Later, Tang Xuanzong married his daughter-in-law and named him the queen.

This queen is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and she accepted a godson who is older than herself, and also laid the root of the Anshi Rebellion.

At this point, the prosperous Tang Dynasty has gone downhill.

In order to change this situation, the Li Tang family found another way and rummaged through the Chinese celebrity books, wanting to recognize a great ancestor, so as to prove that they had nothing to do with any mud legs.

After looking for a long time, I finally got the result.

To tell the truth, there are countless people with the surname Li, and the most famous one is Li Er.

This is Lao Tzu.

It is precisely because of this that Li Tang has been practicing national policy and advocating Taoism since then.

This bronze mirror was designed by Sima Chengzhen, one of the ten friends of the Immortal Sect, and is well versed in the essence of Taoism's life two, two life three, and three life all things.

After it was produced, Xuanzong also loved it very much, and even personally mentioned a poem.

At that time, the number of these magic mirrors was not much, only about dozens, which were unique to the royal family, tending to good fortune and avoiding evil, suppressing evil and eliminating disasters.

However, after a long period of time, very few have survived to the present.

Zheng Shaoqiu took it in his hand and looked at it for about three minutes, then took out two superb Huangshan from his pocket and handed them to Liu Sandao and Chen Guang.

Liu Sandao hurriedly took it from the corner, looked at it over and over again, and then put it under his nose and sniffed it, not willing to open it at all.

Chen Guang on the side was a little nervous, he knew that the point was coming.

After Zheng Shaoqiu put down the bronze mirror, Chen Guang couldn't wait to ask, "Master Zheng, how is this thing?"

"Hmm. ”

Zheng Shaoqiu let out a soft 'um' sound, lit a cigarette, put it in his mouth, took a sharp puff, and asked, "Brother Chen Guang, dare to ask which dynasty and which generation your ancestors are buried?"
