Kane was alone in this store, and after letting Han Chong out, Kane closed the door of the store, and took Han Chong and Bi Yue from this quiet street into an alley not far away.

This Kane was open to do business, but Han Chong was not afraid of what he was doing, so he walked behind for about five minutes and came to a small two-story building.

The buildings here are a bit like the courtyard houses of the old capital, they are all very old eighteenth-century architectural style, it is a light structure of the garden-style mansion, although it is not big, but it is gorgeous and exquisite, I am afraid that it is difficult to have such a villa here. Therefore, this Kane's family background is quite solid.

"Han, we're here, this is what my grandfather left behind, two, please come in ......"

After Kane opened the door, he invited Han Chong and Bi Yue very gentlemanly.

Han Chong is not afraid, mainly because Han Chong is not an ordinary person, he is sure that he can protect himself and his wife-to-be. If this Kane wanted to play some tricks, Han Chong couldn't let him succeed.

This is the first time to enter a foreigner's home, as soon as he entered, Han Chong was attracted by the bright colors and delicate decorations, the furniture inside is also very delicate and cumbersome, the cabinet in the corner, even hand-made and assembled, is very eye-catching.

On the walls and ceiling of the house, there are also frescoes that have become a little dull, showing the long history of the house.

In this regard, Western decoration has always been exaggerated, especially in some Gothic buildings, and the paintings on the walls are enriched as a part of the building itself.

Han Chong has been adapting to it for two days.

"Your grandfather's house was beautiful and had that kind of artistic vibe."

"Thank you so much for the compliment."

"Two, ...... over here"

Kane beckoned Han Chong and Bi Yue through the living room on the first floor and into the backyard.

"Well, is this the basement?"

"That's right."

Han Chong came to the backyard and saw Kane's eyes light up after he opened a door with a complicated combination lock. My heart is full of anticipation.

Probably a World War II shelter, this basement is very deep, and Kane keeps reminding the two to be careful.

Bi Yue was pulling Han Chong tightly, but she was not afraid.

The two followed Kane straight into the ground seven or eight meters underground, but every meter in the passage, there was a wall lamp, the light was very bright, so it would not look dark, and the ventilation facilities here were very good, and they would not feel stuffy.

Enter the basement. Han Chong found that this basement was not small, it should be fifty or sixty square meters, and it was divided into two rooms, in each room, there were ventilation passages and a working dehumidifier, of course, these were necessary to avoid the resurgence of antiques.

"Sir. Everything here, my father and grandfather collected, I hope you can find one you like, this lady can sit here and have a cup of coffee. I have everything here and the environment is still very good......"

Kane spoke of this with pride in his tone, and he wasn't lying. On the wall table at the entrance is a coffee machine.

Han Chong shook his head, this foreigner didn't know how to preserve antiques at all. The steam emitted by the coffee machine can damage the life of the antique, but this is someone else's business, and he can't talk about it, so he nodded his head and took the white gloves handed by Kane, and walked towards the objects piled up in the basement.

The room they are in now is a relatively large one, and the room is full of all kinds of antique furniture, of course, it is just foreign classical furniture, the colors are very bright, Han Chong doesn't like it very much, and on top of the furniture, there are some small things.

Kane didn't seem to be very good at taking care of antiques, and the things on the table were just randomly arranged according to their categories, including seventeenth- and eighteenth-century clocks, medieval swords and armor, and even some Chinese bronzes.

It's just that these objects, including those clocks, are basically rusty, and Han Chong, who looked at it, shook his head, although these things are real, but the aura inside is extremely weak, and it is obviously of little significance to collect.

Han Chong was a little disappointed, in fact, Han Chong didn't know, these things were received by Kane's grandfather in the past few decades, and some people came to sell them to him, Kane once found someone to identify these things, and they were indeed of little value, so he also put them more casually, and some things were not as valuable as modern crafts, and the reason why they were not disposed of was just to commemorate his grandfather.

Just now, Han Chong proposed to look at things with a long history, so Kane brought Han Chong, but he didn't have much hope in his heart.

"Buddha head?!"

Han Chong has a lot of emotions for the Buddha, including the presence of the Golden Buddha in his body, and seeing this thing is also because of the guidance of the Golden Buddha.

Then, this head with a scale about the size of a human head attracted Han Chong, walked to the table, and carefully hugged the broken Buddha head on the top of his head, whose face was almost invisible, with both hands.

This Buddha's head is missing one ear, except for the bridge of the eye socket and the nose and mouth can be recognized, the whole face is very blurred, the reason why it is said to be a Buddha carving head, is because there are bulges on the head, which is exactly the same as the Buddha statue sculpture that Han Chong saw in the temple.

It's just that this Buddha's head was damaged too much, as if it was knocked off from one ear with a blunt object, and half of the ear was gone, and Han Chong, who was watching it, was distressed.

Han Chong knew that many Buddha heads were stolen from ancient monuments by Western colonizers, and if the entire statue could not be moved, the Buddha's head or Buddha's hand would be cut off.

These Buddha heads, along with other looted artworks, were placed as trophies in the rooms of Western colonizers or collectors, and if it weren't for the fact that the Buddha head was too broken, it probably wouldn't have been left in this basement.

Rub, Han Chong was cold.

If you find the Buddha body, this Buddha head still has some effect, but now it seems that it has long been missing.

Kane has also opened a shop for many years, and there are often some Chinese customers who are interested in these broken stones that have no artistic beauty in Kane's opinion, and now he saw Han Chong holding up the stone statue, and immediately stepped forward and asked, "Sir, do you like this stone statue?" ”

Han Chong nodded, but immediately shook his head again. He said: "This Buddha head is too broken, if it is intact, I will consider buying it for less than 100,000 euros, but for now...... What a shame......"

Han Chong is telling the truth, this Buddha head has been damaged too much, the original color is gone, even if he buys it, there is not much collection value.

"Oh, that's a shame......"

Kane shrugged his shoulders. He didn't regret that this thing was broken, he just regretted that he couldn't do this business.

"If you could find a complete sculpture like this somewhere else, I could buy it......"

Han Chong said a little unwillingly, these foreign robbers will really rob a lot of good things, Kane doesn't have it at home, maybe someone else has it at home.

Kane shook his head and said bluntly, "Sir, something like that. It's usually in museums, and I don't know who has it at home, so I'm sorry I can't provide ......."

"Forget it, it's okay......"

Han Chong was a little disappointed in his heart. Continue to search for the objects in the basement, these things all have a little bit of aura, and they are not gloomy, Han Chong has to distinguish them one by one. It's not too easy.

"Huh? What is it? ”

Han Chong was under the Buddha's head and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when he saw a few rusty palm-sized bronzes. Because he saw just now that among those bronzes, there was a very strong aura inside, which Han Chong hadn't seen for a long time. It was just that several pieces of iron were overlapping each other, making it impossible for Han Chong to tell which one it was.

Han Chong rummaged through it, and his eyes lit up.

"Bronze mirror?!"

When Han Chong separated the few things on the table, he also saw that these rusty objects were four copper mirrors, but three of them were too corroded, not to mention the lack of edges and corners, and the characteristics of the copper mirror could not be seen at all.

There was only one piece, that is, the copper mirror that Han Chong sensed that was rich in aura, the mirror surface was quite smooth, but the round edge and back were also covered with patina, and after a few strokes with his hands, the powdery patina was scattered to the ground.

Because the rust is too thick, Han Chong can't see what the pattern on the back is, so there is no way to determine the age of this bronze mirror, but in terms of the aura content in it, Han Chong knows that this object should not be simple, it is all rusted like this, and the aura is still sufficient.

"This ...... What is it? ”

After fiddling with the bronze mirror for a while, Han Chong inadvertently faced the mirror of the bronze mirror to the light, and a beam of light that was not very bright reflected on the wall in front of Han Chong.

While the mirror is reflecting, it also has a concentrating effect, and the beam of light shining on the wall is obviously much brighter than the light bulb on his head, but in that light, Han Chong vaguely seems to see something.

Han Chong froze, his body took a few steps closer to the wall, and then picked up the mirror, the mirror was slightly sideways, and a beam of light was reflected on the wall again, this time Han Chong's hand did not shake, he really saw a trace of image from the beam of light that was only the size of a palm.

Light and shadow?

So familiar?

Han Chong was shocked. In that beam of light, Han Chong saw a Bodhisattva lotus sitting statue pattern, Guanyin Bodhisattva with high temples fluttering on his head, sitting on a lotus pedestal with a peaceful expression, holding a net bottle, with a kind face, eyes slightly closed, and a compassionate expression.

This pattern is not very clear, just when Han Chong's mood is agitated and his hand shakes slightly, the picture of Guanyin disappears.

Han Chong immediately turned the bronze mirror upside down, and looked at the mirror carefully, but found that the mirror was extremely smooth, and there was no Guanyin pattern, but ...... The image that appeared on the wall, Han Chong could also confirm that it was definitely not his hallucination.

Is it really light and shadow?

Taking a deep breath, Han Chong calmed down, staring at the mirror, and as his eyes seeped into the bronze mirror, a strange feeling rose in Han Chong's heart.

The moment he entered the mirror, Han Chong felt that the bronze mirror seemed to come to life, and the original subtle grinding texture on the mirror surface was infinitely magnified in Han Chong's eyes.

Han Chong found that these textures were slightly different in depth, and it should be these differences that caused the image of Guanyin Bodhisattva to appear under the reflection of the light.

This is not the same as the previous light and shadow projection, if it was because of the natural magic power before, this time it is completely the production of the craftsman.

Sincerity is rare.

Let's talk about the copper mirror here, the copper mirror is the mirror made of copper in ancient times, also known as the bronze mirror, in ancient times, people used water to shine on the surface, after the invention of bronze, the copper basin held water to take a picture.

In pre-Qin works such as "Shangshu", "Chinese" and "Zhuangzi", it is mentioned that the ancients "in view of water". The ancient saying interprets the word "Jian" as "basin", so it can be said that the basin (Jian) that holds water is the earliest mirror and the earliest used to reflect the face.

With the advent of alloy technology, since the Yin Shang era, there is a history of using copper and tin or silver and lead to make copper mirrors, copper mirrors are generally made of round or square, and the back of the inscription is decorated with patterns, and the button is worn with a button, and the front is sharpened with lead and tin, which can be clearly illuminated.

The bronze mirrors of the Shang, Western Zhou and Spring and Autumn periods have been sporadically found in all Chinese archaeology, and they became popular at the beginning of the Warring States period, and the output increased greatly.

In the Han Dynasty, due to the large demand of daily life, coupled with the rapid economic prosperity after the middle of the Western Han Dynasty, the production of copper mirrors has produced a qualitative leap, the copper mirrors made excellent craftsmanship, thick texture, and rich and diverse inscriptions and patterns on the back of the mirror. Later, after two development peaks in the Tang and Song dynasties.

It continued until the Ming and Qing dynasties, with the birth of modern glass, the bronze mirror gradually faded out of the historical stage.

In ancient times, the bronze mirror had a close relationship with people's daily life and was an indispensable household utensil for people, just like the glass mirror now, almost everyone had to use it.

At the same time, it is a delicate handicraft, now some large museums in the collection of bronze mirrors, are well-made, beautiful shape, gorgeous patterns, rich inscriptions, is the treasure of China's ancient cultural heritage
