Since the Suzhou mirror is mentioned, I have to talk about Lin Mo's profession, Lin Mo's profession is called the mirror master, the mirror master has been in the same vein since ancient times, the original mirror master should be called the mirror maker, specializing in the firing and polishing of the copper mirror, there was no clear division of occupations at that time, and these people were just craftsmen at that time.

The mirror is called Jian in ancient times, and "Wuling Zangzhen" records: in ancient times, people used water to shine on the surface, and after the invention of bronze ware, the copper basin was used to hold 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". "Shuowen Jinbu" interprets "Jian" as "basin", so it can be said that the basin (Jian) that holds water is the earliest mirror. With the advent of alloy technology, the history of making copper mirrors using copper and tin or silver-lead, among others, began. Bronze mirrors are generally made round or square, with inscriptions on the back and buttons to wear them, and the front is sharpened with lead and tin to shine brightly, so that the face can be clearly illuminated.

The bronze mirror is said to have first appeared in the Shang Dynasty, with the appearance of ritual vessels, in the Warring States period to the Qin Dynasty is generally the king and nobles can enjoy, to the Han Dynasty bronze mirror slowly to the people.

This Su Shi mirror is not exactly the bronze mirror of the Shang Dynasty, the Shang Dynasty bronze mirror is still dominated by the plain mirror, until the middle of the Western Zhou Dynasty, there is a patterned copper mirror, until the late period of the animal ornamentation, which is mainly divided into three categories: plain mirror, heavy ring mirror, bird and beast pattern mirror, the dragon-shaped mirror around the Su Shi mirror is obviously not in line with these conditions, but the mirror surface of the Su Shi mirror is indeed a bronze mirror used for ceremonies in the Shang Dynasty, and it is only after the descendants to build again that the current Su Shi mirror is finally formed.

After the battle of Muye, the Shang Dynasty fell, the bronze mirror used for ceremonial sacrifices was also scattered in all directions, this bronze mirror was damaged in the circulation, and when it was transferred to the craftsman again, there was only the mirror left, when the mirror was in his hand, the craftsman subconsciously looked into the bronze mirror, but what he saw was not his own appearance, but the appearance of another person, as if there was a red line floating out of the person's body, even on his hand holding the mirror, the craftsman was very surprised, but did not put this matter too much in appreciation, only thought that the copper mirror was damaged and the light was not enough.

But it wasn't until half a month later, the craftsman said that the matchmaker married a girl from a neighboring village, and when he saw this girl, the craftsman's face changed greatly, because this girl and the craftsman had seen it, and it was the person who appeared in the mirror that day, and the craftsman was in a panic for a long time, and he also wanted to stay away from this girl, but in the end, he was always unable to say the word divorce for various reasons, and the girl never showed any abnormalities, and the family lived a peaceful and quiet life, and the craftsman was relieved.

But the mirror was remembered by the craftsman, if the girl has no problem, then the problem appears on the mirror, the marriage day must have the old moon to pull the red line, the craftsman suspected that the red line that appeared in the mirror at that time was the marriage line between him and the girl, so he named the mirror the marriage mirror, and took the ancestral meteorite to recreate the frame for this mirror, which is also strange, when the craftsman fits the meteorite frame with the mirror, the meteorite frame that has been cooled suddenly melted, turning into a green dragon coiled around the mirror, Behind the mirror, a picture of mountains and seas emerges, and the frame that could have been removed is completely integrated with the bronze mirror.

Where have the craftsmen seen such a scene, immediately knelt down and kowtowed, thinking that the gods had descended to earth, but there were no other visions except these, and after the craftsman calmed down, he picked up the mirror again, and looked at it again, but found that a person appeared in the mirror again, this person had a fierce face, and an ugly scar came down from the corner of his eye, and three seconds after this person appeared, the scene in the mirror changed again, and the person appeared in a cave that resembled a prison cell, and the craftsman saw his current wife in the cave.

The craftsman who knew the supernatural place of the mirror took this matter to heart, and inquired in many ways and learned that the ugly-faced man was a bandit leader in the nearby hills, and it was very hateful to rob the house, and the craftsman who learned of these things could only call his wife to strictly prohibit his wife from going out within half a month, and all the things that needed to go out were completed by the craftsman alone, but unfortunately people were not as good as the sky, and when a craftsman went out to purchase raw materials, his village was looted by the bandits, and his wife was nowhere to be seen, and the craftsman was very sad, Carrying a bronze mirror and tools alone, he went to the mountain and infiltrated the cottage as a craftsman, in a vain attempt to find an opportunity to rescue his wife.

According to the picture that appeared in the bronze mirror at the time, the craftsman found the cave where his wife was imprisoned, but there was no way to go in to investigate the situation, and half a month passed, and the craftsman finally took advantage of the opportunity to sneak in with the lax guards, but saw that his wife was thin and leaned on the cave wall, and had long lost her life, the craftsman was grief-stricken, but there was no way to take revenge with his own strength, and he waited for half a year to no avail, and finally gave up and lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests.

Fifteen years later, an old man in a plain robe appeared in the world, holding a three-inch bronze mirror to walk in all directions, not catching demons, not collecting ghosts, regardless of feng shui, not godly, only counting the world, determining cause and effect.

And this old man is the craftsman who lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests, and he is also the first mirror master, this ancient mirror has since been called the Su Shi Mirror, also known as the cause and effect mirror, and its next practice is called the Su Shi Jing.

At that time, the Sushi Mirror was only able to observe cause and effect and determine fate, but as the bronze mirror was given more meaning, this Sushi Mirror also added some other functions. The bronze mirror can be dressed properly, and it has the town house to ward off evil spirits, and it can be auspicious and avoid evil.

This mirror of the world is able to judge right and wrong, recognize the good fortune, and drive away resentment, but the only cause and effect that has not changed, so the mirror master leaves a master rule: all those who hold the mirror can not arbitrarily use the mirror to judge people's cause and effect, walk in the world considerably, can think, and can not easily intervene in the affairs of others.

So there is the current Lin Mo, when his master passed on the mirror master to him, he completely became a salted fish, according to Lin Mo, he closed the teahouse and closed it, not because he was lazy, but because Zu Xun said that you should not easily intervene in other people's affairs and cause and effect.

According to his crooked theory, it is: You see, I open the door to do business, sell a cup of tea to a guest, and the guest gives me money, which is considered the end of cause and effect, but if the guest thinks that the tea is unpalatable, and he is not in a good mood when he goes out today, he directly splashes and rolls around with me, then there is a new cause and effect, and the tea is drunk, and it is impossible for me to return the money to him, so we have excess cause and effect, which is very troublesome, so in order not to let myself be infected with too much cause and effect, it is better to close the door more.

Listening to these words in the ears of Lin Tian, the boy in black, he only felt that it was not good, so he summed it up for Lin Mo - well, he was lazy.
