Chapter Seventy-Six: The Golden Well

I rubbed my eyes vigorously, I had already seen it wrong, but Sasaki was indeed gone. Turning to the other side of the mirror to make sure, he was not hiding on the other side, so it was possible that he could only run "inside" the mirror.

"**, what the hell?" The pit scolded and stepped forward cautiously and touched the copper mirror with the flashlight in his hand, making a loud sound, it was indeed a genuine copper mirror.

At this time, Song Jin, who ran into the cave Xiao Qi in fright, came back, Song Jin put Xiao Qi's arm on his shoulder, Xiao Qi drooped his head, and it seemed that he had fainted. Song Jin walked up to him and put Xiao Qi on the ground.

"What's wrong with him?" Kaoru Mochizuki asked.

"Passed out."

"How did you pass out?"

"I ran too fast and hit the wall of the cave." Song Jindao.

"Hahaha, this kid is too interesting, how could he run along the cave, how could he hit the wall." The pit laughed. Think about it, too, parallelists run on both sides, unless they turn a corner, or they will not bump into each other.

"There is no road at the end of the cave." Song Jin said calmly.

"No road?" The pit asked in surprise with wide eyes.

"Well, a dead end." Song Jin's tone was still very calm.

I couldn't help but take a long breath, if what Song Jin said was true, it meant that we wouldn't find the entrance to the tomb if we went any further, and in such a long cave, there was nothing but the big bronze mirror in front of us.

We all set our eyes on Lao Zhao to see what Lao Zhao's views were. Obviously, Lao Zhao also heard Song Jin's words, and knew that at the end of the cave was a stone wall, and this cave was like a pocket, containing us inside. Lao Zhao had a serious expression on his face, holding his chin in his hand, holding his shoulder with one hand, staring at the bronze mirror in deep thought.

After a while, Lao Zhao approached the bronze mirror, circled around the bronze mirror, pressed the bronze mirror with his hand again, and said something in his mouth, I didn't hear it clearly.

"Brother Zhao, what do you think this will be?" Kaoru Mochizuki asked Lao Zhao. Kaoru Mochizuki's heart was very anxious, and Sasaki, who was traveling with her, suddenly disappeared in front of her eyes, and Xiao Qi knocked unconscious on the cave, which brought her a lot of excitement.

"Don't be too anxious, Miss Mochizuki, there will always be a solution to the matter." Lao Zhao comforted Kaoru Mochizuki. "If I'm not mistaken, this mirror in front of me is called Kanei."

"Kanei? What is Kanei? We asked in unison.

"Jinjing, I only heard my master Zhang Jide mention that Jinjing is set up at the entrance of large tombs, and it is generally only used in royal tombs, or the tombs of some big businessmen. The golden well contains the entrance of the tomb, which can prevent tomb robbers from entering, and there are many props in the golden well, such as copper tripods, metal statues, etc., and the bronze mirror is just one of them. ”

In Lao Zhao's description, I feel that the golden well is a kind of security setting, and it is reasonable that there are a large number of gold jewelry buried in the emperor's mausoleum, and there are security devices, although I don't understand the fundamental difference between this golden well and other general anti-theft mechanisms such as crossbows and arrows, and it is necessary to have such an independent name.

But thinking about it, there is always a problem, since the golden well is set at the entrance of the tomb, then it means that the tomb is near here, but this cave is a dead end, where the tomb is, how to enter the tomb has become a primary problem. In the case that I didn't understand anything, I adhered to the principle of asking if I didn't understand, and told Lao Zhao my questions one by one.

Lao Zhao nodded, I thought he knew where the tomb was, and when I asked again, it turned out that Lao Zhao only affirmed my statement, and he himself didn't know where the entrance to the tomb was.

"Could it be that under this mirror, how about we remove this bronze mirror and take a look?" As he spoke, he stepped forward and pushed the bronze mirror hard. As mentioned earlier, the two sides of the bronze mirror are erected on top of the stone beast, similar to the structure of the cannon ears, and the pit is pushed back and forth, and the copper mirror must not move at all.

"It's too heavy, even if you add two more cows, you may not be able to push it." I said to the pit.

"Well, but what do you mean, what do you mean by two more cows? It's two more. "The pit can't forget to argue at this time.

I turned on my flashlight and walked around the bronze mirror, carefully observing every detail on the bronze mirror, including the two stone beasts that framed the bronze mirror. The bottom of the stone beast and the ground are very tight, I poked it with a dagger, there was no gap, I did not give up close to the ground to observe carefully, only to find that this stone beast was originally a part of the ground, that is to say, there was originally a cool protruding stone on the ground, and then it was carved into two stone beasts according to local conditions. From a purely artistic point of view, it's too ingenious, but unfortunately I'm not an artist, what I need to know now is how to enter the tomb.

The bronze mirror faces the side of the cave entrance, the light can be seen, and the back has been seen before, only a few inscriptions. There was nothing to look at on the front anymore, and I focused on the back. I rubbed the mirror surface with my hand, the smoothness was much worse than the surface, and when I looked closely at it with a flashlight, it felt like a metal brush, and it was obvious that someone had deliberately ground it out, "Why do you want to make the back look like this?" I whispered to myself.

"Maybe it's to grind something off."

As soon as I turned around, Song Jin was behind me, and when I turned around, Song Jin smiled, "Brother Ling, this is my opinion." These abrasion marks were formed later, later than the bronze mirror was made. ”

"Oh?" Hearing Song Jin say this, I became interested and decided to listen to Song Jin's opinion.

"I look at this bronze mirror, it may have been here a long time ago, and the back of the original copper mirror did not have these small grinding marks, but there were other things, it may be patterns, it may also be lettering, if there is nothing, later people will not bother to grind these off, and they think that the things that are worn off have a very important meaning and must be worn off." Song Jin explained.

After a little thought, I understood what Song Jin meant, he said that someone arrived here before us, and polished off the original text or pattern on the back of the bronze mirror, and what we saw was only the words "Mausoleum of Emperor Daojun of the Great Song Dynasty".

Could it be Greenbeard's gang, the blind cat who ran into a dead mouse, got here before us, and did something about it? I have this assumption in my mind. But considering that this assumption is not valid, think about it, if I were Greenbeard, I would definitely simply grind out all the words, so that people after me could not see anything, and the scratches do not seem to have been caused by the last day or two.

"Is it?" Kaoru Mochizuki muttered behind me.

"Could it be what?" I quickly turned around.

"I'm just thinking about it, and I'm not sure." Kaoru Mochizuki said.

"Tell me about it first, maybe it's useful."

"Well, after listening to what Song Jin said just now, I think we may be stuck in the Lord, thinking that this bronze mirror is from the Song Dynasty, if we push the time forward as a whole, assuming that the bronze mirror was already here before the Song Dynasty, and was later discovered by the Song people......," Kaoru Mochizuki said.

"You mean that the people who polished off the patterns and words on the bronze mirror are the same people as the people who engraved the current words, and they are Song people?"

"Yes, I do, but it's just speculation." Kaoru Mochizuki said.

I thought to myself, according to Kaoru Mochizuki, the whole time is pushed forward, and everything is indeed clear. If this is the case, then it means that the Song people discovered this bronze mirror that had existed for a long time and made it into the golden well of the tomb of Emperor Daojun, of course, in the process, the original patterns and words on the back were polished. In this way, I still feel a little comforted, which shows that to a large extent, no one has discovered the imperial tomb, nor has it been damaged.

"Then have you thought of how to enter the Imperial Tomb?" I asked Kaoru Mochizuki.

Kaoru Mochizuki shook her head, "If I knew how to get in, I wouldn't have to be stunned here." ”

Kaoru Mochizuki's words revealed a lot of helplessness.

"Brother Ling Yue, have you ever thought that the Imperial Tomb may be in this mirror." Zhao Xiaoxu, who hadn't spoken for a long time, suddenly said to me.

I was stunned for a moment, and then laughed and said: "Little girl, don't talk nonsense, the mirror is a flat surface, it can only reflect the shadow, how can you bury the mausoleum in the mirror, and besides, although this mirror is not small, if you want to bury a person in it, you have to squeeze it into a photo." ”

"How do you know that what is in the mirror is a shadow and not real?" Zhao Xiaoxu said unconvinced.

"Then when you say that when you look in the mirror, you are outside the mirror, and inside the mirror is not your shadow? The real you are outside the mirror. I continued to enlighten Zhao Xiaoxu and told her to stop thinking nonsense.

"But ......" Zhao Xiaoxu still refuses to give up, "but for the people in the mirror, aren't we just in the mirror?" The two spaces inside and outside the mirror, when viewed from another angle, are completely reversed. ”

After Zhao Xiaoxu's words, I couldn't find a clue for a while, the little girl chattered a lot, but I understood very slowly. "You mean it's really possible to have an imperial tomb buried in the mirror?"

"Well, that's what I mean, to enter the Imperial Tomb, we have to enter the space of the mirror." Zhao Xiaoxu replied to me.

"Hahahaha" Pit Zi has been listening to us from the side, and finally couldn't help laughing when he heard it now, "This girl is interesting, but I think what you said is very easy to do, come on, let's look in the mirror together." After that, the pit stood in front of the mirror, posed in various strange shapes, scratched his head and looked in the mirror, seeing the pit like this, several of us were full of black lines, this product is too unreliable.

"Look, I'm in the mirror!" The pit pointed to the mirror excitedly.

What the? It's really in the mirror, and when we hear this, we all rush to the mirror to see what is going on.
