Chapter 046: Yin-Yang Mirror
After Yi Tian chatted with Lu Li and Ding Minghui for a while, he took a tricycle and came to Dongdaemun Market.
He is very familiar with everything here, he came to the mall to buy a few clothes, pants, leather shoes and other items for Old Man Xu, as long as he can think of everything, if it is not for the fact that there are too many things in his hand and some can't take it, it is estimated that he will continue to buy a few more.
When passing by the liquor store, he didn't forget to buy two bottles of Moutai and Wuliangye, which are Old Man Xu's favorites, if these things are seen by Old Man Xu, it is estimated that saliva will flow out unconsciously.
Unconsciously, Yi Tian walked to the antique street, probably because it was close to the Spring Festival, and many people were buying items for their elders here.
Be careful when you come here to buy things, in recent years, people have become more affluent, and the sense of collecting has gradually increased, and many people hope to be able to find treasures, but there are very few real antiques here.
However, there are also masters who have found hundreds of thousands of pottery here, so the antique street has become famous here and a large number of shoppers flock to it.
At this time, Yi Tian's thoughts on going home were very urgent, and when he was walking briskly, a bustling and noisy crowd attracted his attention.
"I said, young man, this trick of yours is really too old-fashioned, I have met several people like you in this period of time, you said that this thing was just dug up, and now no one believes it, haluhaha......" An old man said with a smile.
"Yes, I've met it before, but people are not alone, there will be a tray next to it, pretending to be a collector expert on the side to explain the year and origin of things, and there is only one person like you who no one believes it." Someone chimed in.
"Yes, let's just say that this thing of yours is simply a piece of rusty broken copper and iron, and you can't see the original appearance of the thing, even if you spend money to repair it, it doesn't have much collection value, maybe it's not worth the money spent on repairing!"
Just when these people were talking, Yi Tian saw the situation inside through the cracks in the periphery.
A young man in his twenties, wearing a hard hat, judging from his dress and grooming, should be a construction worker, holding in his hand a copper mirror full of rust and stains, because it was so badly corroded, it really did not look like anything.
According to the eyes of the collecting world, such a thing really has no collection value.
However, after Yi Tian glanced at it twice, his face changed, and he looked a little surprised, "What is this?" Why is there still a trace of aura on it? ”
When he looked at the bronze mirror, he found that it contained a little aura, but the aura was not much anymore, as if it would disappear at any time.
With curiosity, Yi Tian squeezed into the crowd and said to the young man selling bronze mirrors, "Big brother, where did you get this thing?" ”
The young man held the bronze mirror and said: "This is what I picked up yesterday when I was working in the sewer of the construction site, and when I picked it up, it was still flashing, and I thought this thing was a rarity, so I wanted to come to the antique street to see if I could sell it." ”
Yi Tian nodded slightly, and asked, "Big brother, can you show me this thing?" ”
"What? Do you want to buy? There are already several people who haven't bought it just now, if you don't buy it, don't delay my time, I have to go back to the construction site to work in a while! When the young man saw that Yi Tian was younger than himself, he felt that he wanted to see it because he was curious, so he didn't mean to show Yi Tian.
Yi Tian didn't get angry when he saw this, "Big brother, if you don't show me, how can I know whether the Dao things are good or bad?" I've seen it, and if you think it's good, buy it! ”
"Really?" The young man asked suspiciously.
"Ha Luha, don't worry!"
Yi Tian took the bronze mirror and began to look at it over and over again in his hand, except for feeling that there was a trace of true qi in it, this thing really looked like a rusty copper bump.
After a little thought, he turned on the 'Sky Eye Pass', wanting to see if he could see anything.
As he continued to look at the bronze mirror, he found something that others could not see with the naked eye, and he was amazed to think, "These are the four elephants!" ”
As the saying goes, Tai Chi gives birth to two instruments, and two instruments give birth to four images.
Liangyi refers to yin and yang, and yin and yang derive wood, water, fire, and wind. In traditional culture, the green dragon, the white tiger, the red bird, and the Xuanwu are the representatives of the four elephants, the green dragon represents the wood, the white tiger represents the wind, the red bird represents the fire, and the Xuanwu represents the water.
Under the perspective of Yi Tian's 'Tianyantong', the original appearance of the bronze mirror is very clear, the round copper mirror is only the size of a palm, and the thickness is about two centimeters, and there are lines with complex layouts engraved on it, and the posture of the four elephants is vivid, guarding in their respective directions.
Great stuff!
After taking a few looks, Yi Tian was sure that this was a treasure, but there were a lot of stains and rusts on the bronze mirror, which greatly reduced the value of this thing.
After reading it, Yi Tian raised his head and asked, "Big brother, how much are you going to sell this thing?" ”
The young man thought for a moment, leaned on a finger and said, "A thousand!" ”
Yi Tian smiled softly: "Big brother, is your price a little high?" In this way, I will pay 500, if you think it will work, I will buy it, if it doesn't work, I will leave! ”
The young man hesitated a little, thought for a moment and said, "Okay, deal!" ”
Yi Tian took out five hundred yuan from his pocket and handed it to the other party, "Big brother, if there is such a thing next time, I will ask for it!" ”
After finishing speaking, he ignored everyone's gaze and quickly left.
In the eyes of everyone, his behavior is the work of a fool, and he buys such a large amount for a thousand yuan, and it doesn't look like an antique copper lump at all, isn't it sick?
But Yi Tian was quite happy in his heart, judging from the four images on the bronze mirror and the trace of aura, this thing was used as a ritual instrument in the past, but because of the age, coupled with the dirt, it gradually lost its spirituality. He planned to get rid of the heavy rust on it when he got home, and then study it well.
After more than an hour of bumpy driving, Yi Tian got off the bus at the entrance of the village with a large bag of things.
Whenever he saw an acquaintance, he took the initiative to say hello, and he didn't walk long before he returned home.
"Old man, I'm back, come and see what good things I bought you!" Yi Tian shouted with a smile.
"Stinky boy, you've been out for a few days, I thought you were lost or abducted!" Old man Xu walked out of the main room with a pipe in his mouth and looked at Yi Tian with a smile on his face.
"Hehe, old man, then you will underestimate me, can I let others abduct me? It's good that I don't kidnap others! ”
"Yes, that's true!" Old man Xu nodded in agreement.
The two entered the room, Yi Tian put everything on the table, and then asked Old Man Xu to try them on one by one, and Old Man Xu couldn't close his mouth with joy when he tried on the clothes.
Seeing that Old Man Xu was happy, Yi Tian was even more happy, and without saying a word, he rummaged through the pockets of his clothes, and put a pile of money on the table.
Old man Xu was very surprised and asked, "Where did you get so much money?" You're not going to rob a bank, are you? ”
"Hmph, am I the kind of person who has no technical content? These are all things I won back with my gambling money! Yi Tian said it honestly.
"What? Stinky boy, you don't study well, you gamble outside at such an age, and you gamble so much, look at how Lao Tzu cleans you up! As he spoke, Old Man Xu picked up the chicken feather blanket in the room and whipped it at Yi Tian.
Yi Tian said as he ran, "Old man, I have no choice but to do it, if I hadn't helped Hei Niu save his brother, I wouldn't have gambled, and I didn't want to win so much money, it was all those people in the casino who forced me to gamble!" ”
"What? You mean, it's the people at the casinos who are forcing you to let you win their money? Old man Xu asked.
"That's just the way it is!" Yi Tian looked helpless and said.
Hearing this, Old Man Xu's face suddenly darkened, and after stabilizing his emotions, he asked Yi Tian about some relevant information, and he understood the reason for the matter, but Yi Tian was worried that Old Man Xu would be angry, and he also concealed some things.
"Hey, forget it, it's only this once, if I let me know that you gamble money in the future, see that I don't break your legs! Wait until tomorrow when you go to the bank and deposit it with your ID card! Old man Xu said.
"Let me save it? Aren't you usually saving it? Yi Tian frowned.
"If you want to save it, you can save it, and when you go to college in the future, you can use the money to get your wife, and I will be relieved when the time comes!"
After dinner, Yi Tian was thinking about things in his room, and recently Old Man Xu was talking and doing things a little abnormally, as if he had something on his mind.
But what was the reason, Yi Tian didn't figure it out for a while.
Then he took out the bronze mirror, wanted to study it, and after fiddling with it for a while, he found a knife and planned to cut off the thick rust on the outer layer, but it didn't have much effect for a long time.
Just as he was holding the bronze mirror in his hand and thinking of a way, something suddenly happened, and Yi Tian felt the true qi on his body surge, and he injected it into the bronze mirror as if he was being pulled.
"Huh? What's going on? With the injection of true qi, the rust on the outer layer of the copper mirror began to peel off layer by layer.
Yi Tian looked at the bronze mirror with a cautious face, while the bronze mirror absorbed the true qi, he carefully observed the changes in the copper mirror, and as time slowly passed, more and more rust fell off.
Suddenly.
A dazzling golden light flickered, and all the rust disappeared, revealing the original appearance of the bronze mirror, and then three words gradually appeared on the bronze mirror...... Yin-Yang Mirror!
