After Shen Zezhi withdrew from Chen Yan's case, the special case team did not panic, and still investigated the case according to Shen Zezhi's previous arrangement. Everyone in the special case team is an elite, and without Shen Zezhi's leadership, they are enough to support this special team.

After that, Shen Zezhi put all his experience on what happened when he was born thirty years ago and the search for Ji Yu.

After the investigation of the past few days, there are still the memories of those involved. Shen Zezhi already had some guesses. But all of these speculations point to a much larger mystery. At that time, Shen Zezhi had just been born, and he had no way to confirm his thoughts.

"The mirror reaches the sky." Shen Zezhi sat on the floor of the study, the floor was full of books, some books were open, and some books were lying upside down on the ground. Shen Zezhi sat on the ground with his legs in anticipation, and there was a laptop and pen and paper next to his legs.

Shen Zezhi has a book in his hand that is very old, and the decoration of the book is still in the style of the past, and even the font used in the book is traditional Chinese. This is a miscellaneous book, and the title of the book is "Tongbao". This book was discovered from Shen Ming's house. When he brought it before, he thought it was an ancient book introducing coins, but he didn't expect that the content of this book was really Tongbao, a treasure through heaven. Shen Zezhi used to look at it strangely, and he didn't pay attention to the things recorded in it, after all, the things introduced in it were too fantastical.

But this time he saw hope in the book. In the book, there is a description of a treasure called the Xuanjing. Legend has it that this mirror can go back in time. According to Shen Zezhi's understanding, this kind of mirror should be able to see what happened in the past, if he can find the mirror and see what happened thirty years ago, wouldn't he understand what happened at that time?

Shen Zezhi began to look for information about the Xuanjing, but the content of the Xuanjing recorded in "Tongbao" was not much, and the content was obscure, and Shen Zezhi couldn't understand it very thoroughly. Shen Zezhi studied at home for a long time, and finally had to turn to his grandfather Shen Ming for help.

Shen Zezhi took the book and drove to Shen Ming's house. As soon as he parked the car, he happened to meet his father Shen Lin and stepmother Yang Jie coming out of the villa.

Shen Lin saw Shen Ze subconsciously frowning, but he didn't seem to say anything as if he cared about something, so he nodded at him and left. Yang Jie also smiled at him.

Shen Lin was very hostile to him as soon as he came back this time, but Shen Zezhi didn't mind. Whether this father has or not, to be honest, it doesn't mean anything to Shen Zezhi. Although their father and son didn't have much contact before, they could still hear that he was still a little concerned about him when he called occasionally, but this time he came back...... Shen Zezhi shook his head lightly and didn't think about it.

After Uncle Sun sent Shen Lin away, he walked in with Shen Zezhi, and Shen Zezhi asked, "Uncle Sun, has Grandpa been busy lately?" ”

Uncle Sun smiled: "I'm not busy, the business in the store is taken care of, and Mr. has been more idle recently." ”

Shen Zezhi nodded, and Uncle Sun asked, "Do you have something to ask Mr. this time?" ”

Shen Zezhi smiled a little embarrassedly: "Yes, I read a book and I don't understand something." He said that this is "Tongbao".

Uncle Sun was surprised when he saw this book: "Is it this book?" ”

Shen Zezhi said unexpectedly: "Uncle Sun has also seen it?" ”

Uncle Sun shook his head: "That's not true, I've seen Mr. read it before." ”

Shen Zezhi nodded and went to the study to find Master Shen.

"Grandpa." Shen Zezhi walked to the desk.

Shen Ming raised his head and asked, "You have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, what is the matter this time?" Go ahead. ”

Shen Zezhi said: "Grandpa, don't say that. ”

Shen Ming smiled: "Stinky boy." Go ahead. ”

Shen Zezhi took out the book and turned to the chapter of Xuanjing and said, "I also read this book today, and I don't understand this chapter." ”

Shen Ming took the book and looked at it, "Why do you look at this kind of book." ”

Shen Zezhi didn't speak, Shen Ming said, "You still want to know what happened when you were born?" ”

Shen Zezhi: "Grandpa, I think my birth is not simple, I have a lot of guesses, but I need to confirm it." ”

Shen Ming looked at the book and said, "The Xuanjing has the effect of going back in time, do you want to see what happened on the night you were born thirty years ago?" ”

Shen Zezhi said: "Actually, I went back once. ”

"Huh? What do you mean. Shen Ming asked with a frown.

Shen Zezhi: "It was still at the Guan family that asked me to go back, I saw some things at that time, but I didn't understand it very well." ”

Shen Ming nodded.

Shen Zezhidao: "This book says that the mirror can see what happened in the past, but it does not describe what the mirror looks like and where to find this mirror. ”

Shen Ming smiled when he heard this: "You, you didn't study well when you taught you these things at that time, and now you hate less when the book is used." You don't even understand the meaning of this book. ”

Shen Zezhi nodded a little ashamedly when he heard this.

Shen Ming said: "Although this book says that this kind of mirror is called a mirror, it does not specifically refer to a certain mirror. ”

Shen Zezhi didn't understand, and Shen Ming explained: "Ancient mirrors with years can actually achieve this effect. However, in addition to having a mirror, there is also a special time and a place where the incident occurred. However, there is a mirror introduced in the book, and the effect is the best. ”

Shen Zezhi: "Four Gods Rule Mirror? ”

Shen Ming nodded.

The Four Gods Rule Mirror is a kind of bronze mirror unearthed in the Han Dynasty, the neat and rigorous layout of the rule mirror, the mysterious "TLV" ornament on the mirror body and the inscription of auspicious celebrations. *

There is a "Huainanzi Tianwen Xun": "The way of heaven is said to be round, and the way of the earth is said to be square." "Taoists believe that the heavens are round and the earth is square. Under the guidance of this cosmology, the layout of the back of the mirror fully reflects the Taoist thinking in traditional Chinese culture. The Taoist cosmology believes that the world is divided into five directions, namely east, south, west and north, and the center of the four gods, and the button in the center of the mirror represents the center, and the meridian is formed with the button hole as the center to divide the south and north. Taoism teaches the Five Elements Theory, believing that everything in the world comes from the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, and that everything must follow the laws of their operation. The direction is determined, and the ornamentation in the back pattern of the mirror of the four gods is strictly according to the direction and the attributes of the five elements to configure the respective positions of the four gods. Outside the four directions, each is guarded by four gods. These four guardian spirits are the Green Dragon, the White Tiger, the Vermilion Bird, and the Xuanwu. Since there are twelve earthly branches in the decoration on the back of the mirror, it must correspond to the ten heavenly stems in the connotation of the ornamentation. From the position of the four gods and the twelve branches arranged in the back pattern of the four god rule mirrors, the interrelationship between the heavenly stems, the earthly branches, the four gods, and the five elements is clearly reflected. *

"The Classic of Mountains and Seas, the Book of the Middle Wilderness" cloud: "The mountain of Kunlun has a copper pillar, which is high into the sky, and the so-called heavenly pillar is also." "If you think about it from the Taoist point of view, the four "T" ornaments outside the back frame of the mirror of the four gods should be four bronze pillars. Because of the four pillars of heaven on top, people from all over the world can live and work in peace and contentment without worrying that the sky will fall. On the four corners of the back frame of the mirror of the four gods, they are respectively decorated with four "V" shaped symbols, which were called "rules" in the past. The "L" shape that is directly opposite the four "T" shaped patterns in the back of the mirror is called "moment". *

This kind of four-god rule mirror is very popular in the antique world, and there was once a "one-side rule mirror, at the expense of spending a lot of money." ".

Shen Zezhi said: "Grandpa, what do you mean is that all ancient mirrors can be made into Xuanjing through certain conditions, but the Four Gods Rule Mirror is the best material." However, this kind of mirror is not easy to find now. ”

Shen Ming smiled: "Have you forgotten what your grandfather did?" You're lucky, and recently someone happened to have a four-god rule mirror that wanted to make a move. ”

Shen Zezhi was surprised: "Really? He hesitated, "This kind of mirror should be very expensive." ”

Shen Ming waved his hand and said, "You don't have to worry about this, I originally wanted this mirror, and I have already been in contact with him before." Even if you use it as a mirror, it won't damage it? ”

Shen Zezhi nodded, and Shen Ming said, "We made an appointment to meet in the store in the afternoon, you can go with me." ”

Shen Zezhi nodded: "Okay, grandpa." ”

In the afternoon, the two of them drove to Shen Ming's shop: Pin Guxuan, and it was Shen Ming's closed disciple Qin Yue who was watching the shop here.

When Qin Yue saw Old Man Shen and Shen Zezhi getting out of the car, he immediately put down the things in his hand and greeted him: "Master, Brother Zezhi." ”

Shen Zezhi and Qin Yue knew each other before, Qin Yue was seven or eight years younger than Shen Zezhi, and he was only twenty-one or twelve years old, but he already had a name in the antique world. He had a good relationship with Shen Zezhi when he was a child, and he always called Shen Zezhi's brother.

Shen Ming asked, "Is that person here?" ”

Qin Yue personally made tea for the old man and said, "Not yet, the time for the appointment has not yet arrived." ”

Shen Ming nodded, asked some questions in the store, and Qin Yue answered them one by one.

After talking about the things in the store, Qin Yue chatted with Shen Zezhi. Shen Zezhi has been very busy since he worked in the special case team, and sometimes it is normal to not see anyone for a month and a half. So he and Qin Yue have rarely seen each other in a year in recent years. But this does not affect the feelings of the two people. Qin Yue is Shen Ming's closed disciple, he has followed the old man since he was a child, and he and Shen Zezhi are also considered to be young. Coupled with the fact that Shen Ming has no heirs, Qin Yue can be regarded as the person who inherits Shen Ming's mantle.

After chatting for a while, the seller finally arrived. Shen Zezhi couldn't help frowning when he saw this person. This person doesn't look like a person with a million-dollar ancient mirror in his hand at all, this person looks like he is in his forties, his clothes are shabby, he looks obscene, and he is not a good person at first glance.

That person had been in contact with Shen Ming and Qin Yue before, and this time he took out the mirror as soon as he walked into the room behind the store. The mirror is real, the mirror of the four gods of the Han Dynasty, it seems that the system should be a palace product. Shen Ming looked at it and quoted a price.

The seller was embarrassed: "Shen Lao, you are Taishan Beidou in this line." It's just that the price isn't a bit too low. ”

Shen Ming didn't speak, Qin Yue took over and said, "The mirror is real, and the palace system is also real. But your mirror is not for the living. ”

"What do you mean?" The seller's face changed.

Qin Yue said with a smile: "This mirror of the four gods is a funeral item, since it is a palace system, it is not for the emperor and concubine to be buried, at least it is also a princess or something." But when it comes to funeral goods, your mirror has never been buried because he is a defective product. ”

"Don't talk nonsense, I think you just want to lower the price."

Qin Yue turned the ancient mirror over and pointed to a cloud pattern on the back to look at him, the man's eyes dodged. Qin Yue is right, this mirror has indeed not been in the tomb. The things that have not been under the tomb can be seen at a glance, and he can't hide them if he wants to. However, Shen Ming gave him a fair price, and the transaction was successful in the end.
