Chapter 14: The Secret of the Bronze Mirror and the Sea of Consciousness

After eating the watermelon, the aunt gave Fang Yong a hundred yuan and asked Fang Yong to accompany his cousin to the park to play. After playing for an afternoon, the younger brothers and sisters were very happy, but Fang Yong was always absent-minded, always thinking about the bronze mirror at home.

After the family had dinner, my aunt arranged for Fang Yong to rest in the guest room on the second floor. Say goodnight to your grandparents. Fang Yong went upstairs to wash, and after taking a hasty bath, he came to the room where he was resting. Looking at the bronze mirror on the table, there was still a faint red mist. What is this red mist? Could it be the "treasure" in what people usually say is jewelry?

This afternoon, because there were too many people, Fang Yong didn't have time to take a closer look. At this time, under the light, the cracks in the bronze mirror were even more obvious, Fang Yong took out the fruit knife buckled on the key ring, and gently scraped the soil and patina on the mirror, and the gossip on the mirror was also revealed.

According to legend, the gossip was created by Fuxi and later used for divination.

The Tai Chi Bagua diagram takes the center of the circle within the same circle as the boundary, and draws two equal yin and yang to represent the interrelationship of all things. The yin fish is black, and the yang fish is white, which is a representation of day and night.

The head of the yang fish has a yin eye, and the head of the yin fish has a yang eye, which means that all things are transforming and penetrating each other, and there is yang in yin, and yin and yang are in harmony, and they are mutually reinforcing, that is, the representation of the law of unity of contradiction and opposition in modern philosophy. The center of the circle can be divided into four parts, and it is determined to be four images. The four images are the sun, the yin, the yang, and the yin. The four images express the east, west, north and south of space, and the spring, summer, autumn and winter of time.

Any group of contradictions plus the center constitutes three talents. Ancient philosophy believed that heaven, earth, and man were three talents, and on the basis of the doctrine of the four elephants, it went one step further, and added the two sides of yang and ming, and the yin and yang, and it and the four elephants formed the theory of the sixth. If the four images are added to the center of the circle, they constitute the theory of the five elements, the south is fire, the north is water, the east is wood, the west is gold, and the middle is earth. The center of the circle is called the seven stars. The four elephants pass guò "divided into two" segmentation, and constitute the Bagua map, the innate Bagua directions are expressed as: Qiannan, Kunbei, Lidong, Kanxi, Zhendong, Dudong, Xunxi, Xunxi, Genxi. The Bagua plus axis is called the Nine Palaces. With the number of nine palaces is Qianjiu, Kun one, Xun two, Dui four, Gen six, Zhen eight, Li three, Kan seven, and the center is five.

The eyes stared at the faint red mist, and the more closely I looked, the more I felt that there seemed to be an aura on the mirror, dotted with stars, like a living thing. Faintly, as if hidden in a fairyland, except that the fairy mist is red, and the dotted highlights look a little like silver but with a hint of purple.

Immersing his consciousness into it, the red mist seemed shallow, but it was actually deep and endless, and suddenly there seemed to be an inexplicable force pulling Fang Yong's gaze inward. I felt as if I had fallen into a red mist, and I kept going deeper and deeper.

Suddenly, something even more magical happened, a scene of images appeared in front of Fang Yong's eyes with the flow of red mist, just like watching a movie, but in a fast-play mode, one shot after another, and all the pictures were related to this gossip mirror, as if it was a documentary, recording the ins and outs of the gossip mirror, where it first appeared, who used it, and what it experienced during the period, and how it ended up falling in the rubble and buried in the ground.

Tracing the whole process, I found that this gossip mirror first appeared in a Taoist temple, and later by a man with Qing Dynasty braids who looked like a housekeeper on TV, led a Taoist priest to a very large courtyard, estimated to be in the home of a wealthy man.

After walking through a few corridors, I came to a meeting room, where an elegant middle-aged man was waiting, and when the Taoist priest came in, the elegant middle-aged man hurriedly stood up to greet him.

After some conversation, they came to a large room. The Taoist priest walked around the room with something like a compass, and finally took out this gossip mirror and hung it above the doors and windows, presumably using it to dissolve evil qi, transform aura, and drive away adverse influences.

I don't know how long it took, but after an accident, the house of this rich family also collapsed. It passed through the hands of a few people and finally hung on the window of a house, and then a war blew up the house, so it was left in the rubble. It seems that this thing should be an old thing from the Qing Dynasty.

When the "movie" was over, it was as if a force pushed my gaze out of the way, and it was restored to its original state. Fang Yong couldn't help but gasp, it was like a dream, in an instant, time spanned more than two hundred years! Fang Yong's soul seemed to have entered the time tunnel with that gossip bronze mirror, and traveled to the ancient times hundreds of years ago, that feeling was indescribably wonderful, and there was a shocking power!

At this time, he suddenly felt as if there was a trace of air flow in his body flowing with the meridians, and when Fang Yong's consciousness came into contact with this air flow, this air flow quickly connected with Fang Yong's consciousness, and finally converged in Fang Yong's head, forming something similar to a galaxy, but it was just a faint point, and there were a few traces of light cloud-like air flow around it, could it be that this is the legendary sea of consciousness.

Urging his thoughts, a slightly powerful force surged out from the top of Fang Yong's head like an uncontrollable force, piercing through the air and knocking down a plastic vial on the table. Hiss! So powerful! After being surprised for a while, he checked what he called the "Sea of Consciousness", and the cloud-like air flow in the Sea of Consciousness seemed to be much lighter. What the hell is going on? Could it be that the sea of consciousness can also store energy?

The red mist on that gossip mirror is an energy? Looking at the gossip mirror again, there is still a faint layer of red mist on the surface of the gossip mirror, which has not changed from the original, and it seems that this energy in the sea of consciousness has nothing to do with this red fog body.

Looking at the gossip mirror carefully, he suddenly made a new discovery, the silver-purple light spots that were dotted in the red mist were gone, and it seemed that this was the reason for this light point.

Some people say that antiquities have spirits, but is it their aura? Antiquities are infused with the inspiration and wishes of the creators, and embody the enthusiasm of users or collectors.

Don't say it, it's really possible.

"Why didn't the comic strips and actual envelopes I bought at the scrap yard have a red mist, but today's Bagua Bronze Mirror has such a magical phenomenon? Is it a matter of time? ”

The more I think about it, the more I can't figure it out, I'm not daydreaming, it's impossible to see flowers, it's a real feeling, and there is a wonderful sense of shock in retrospect. And the energy that just emanated from the sea of consciousness knocked down the plastic vial on the table, which is a real thing!

"Do you want to try again?" Fang Yong suddenly had a strong curiosity, and with the mentality of giving it a try, he helped up the plastic vial on the table. Gather your mind and let out a thought, wanting to knock the vial down again. At this moment, a burst of energy came out of the sea of consciousness, rushed towards the vial, and knocked the vial down again.

Fang Yong was happy, "Yay! With a sigh, he checked the galactic objects in the sea of consciousness and found that there were many fewer nebulae, and it seemed that they still consumed energy. If the silver-purple dots of light on the antiques are really aura, maybe you will have to visit the antique market often in the future.
