Professor Sun Xuewu's work records left in the museum, accurately sketching the pattern of the Qin King's bone mirror, although I have never seen the back of this ancient mirror, but the eyeless fish charm embedded in the bronze mirror has obvious characteristics, and I will never be mistaken. There are also many annotations around the ancient mirror pattern, which may be the records of Professor Sun's research and analysis.

I thought that King Qin's bone mirror had been handed over to the country by Professor Chen, could it be that he secretly gave it to Professor Sun first? What is Professor Sun's intention in sneaking into the museum in the middle of the night?

My heart was full of questions, seeing that this work record was full of content, and it was difficult to see what to do for a while, so I closed the notebook and put it in my coat pocket, ready to go back and read it again.

At this time, the side of the display case had been pried open, presumably by Professor Sun, Ai Xiaohong saw this, and immediately said that she would notify the police. I persuaded her: "After all, it's just a fake, and it's not lost or damaged, so don't bother the leaders and the public security department for this little thing, their work burden is already very heavy."

The people's police are for the people, and we, the people, should also be heart-to-heart with the people's police, so how can we always want to blame the police for trouble? You should think more about your brother and them. ”

Ai Xiaohong is also a solid-eyed girl, she nodded and said: "Brother Hu, you are worthy of being a person who has been trained in the melting pot of the army, and you think about others everywhere, so I still don't trouble my brother." Then let's go and see the gold and silver five-color copper furnace. ”

Ai Xiaohong took me and Shirley Yang to the copper furnace, this time there was no barrier, and every detail on the furnace wall was in front of me, I asked Ai Xiaohong: "Sister Xiaohong, do you have an explanation for this thing in your museum?" ”

Ai Xiaohong said that of course there is, it is quite a long paragraph, which was written by experts, and immediately explained it to us according to the commentary in the museum.

I shook my head halfway through it. The content of the explanation carefully written by the so-called "experts" is too different from the true origin and purpose of the bottle shandan furnace, and it is simply the donkey's lips that are not the horse's mouth. However, the Dan Palace in Xiangxi Bottle Mountain, there are few records in the history books, in modern times, except for the people who have gone into the tomb to move the mountains and unload the mountains, it is even more rarely known, rather than listening to the experts fabricate a few unobsessive clichés, it is better to interpret it with my own vision and experience.

I held the flashlight up and fixed the beam to the delicate copper wall of the furnace so that Shirley Young could see it clearly. Shirley Yang pointed to an undulating inscription on the copper wall and said, "During the Qin and Han dynasties, they believed in the elixir of magic and called the smelting of the immortal elixir the art of furnace fire. These inscriptions may be medicinal formulas. ”

There are a large number of coffins and carrion corpses excavated from all over the world in the Bottle Shandan Palace, according to the opinion of tomb robbers like Chen Blind Man and Partridge Whistle, this is a despicable act of "burning Yin Dan" with dead people. Shirley Yang can read ancient texts, and she said that the incomplete inscription on the Dan furnace roughly records: "The human body is guided by the kidneys, the foundation of gold, the root of life, and the trick is under the tongue." Changsheng divine water, the left is called Jinjin, the right is called jade liquid, and the dantian is irrigated, and the dantian is full, and the bone marrow is spread; The bone marrow is full, and the blood is circulated; The blood is full, and the mud pill palace is passed on, but it is returned to the kidney, such as the sun and moon cycle, and the gold water condenses into a Xuanzhu after death. ”

The eight pictures of the immortals burning the pill cast on the furnace wall, the first four sides are the method of burning the Yin Pill to extract the Xuanzhu, such as "cutting the ancient corpse to take the kidney, boiling and decoction to produce the gold water and jade liquid, mixing lead and mercury to refine the Dan head" and the like, which makes people almost disgusting.

I thought to myself that I don't know who came up with this trick to burn the Yin Pill, if I can really smelt the Golden Pill according to this, I am afraid it will not be an immortal elixir, but a veritable deadly poison, whoever eats it will be unlucky. Looking at the other four Dan diagrams, there is another shorter inscription, which is the opposite of the Yin Dan medicinal formula, which is the true Dan, that is, the Inner Dan we are looking for.

Since ancient times, refining the inner pill has been refining qi. The reason why the qi nourishes the form, covers between the five internal organs and the six internal organs, and disperses because of the seven feelings, so it originates on the five mountains and four desecrations, and there are six changes of the qi, which can clear the turbidity without surplus, and the clear and lonely are like this, and the abyss of the solid mountains and rivers is not available for the six gases. The breath of the green dragon is like auspicious clouds lining the moon; The breath of the vermilion bird, like the morning glow reflecting the water; The air of Gou Chen is like a black wind blowing clouds; The breath of Xuanwu is like greasy smoke and fog......

In the Hundred Eyes Cave at the end of the Inner Mongolia grassland, I once saw with my own eyes that among the corpses of the huge old weasels, there was a red pill true pill, which was like a stone in the body of a bezoar and a donkey. In Feng Shui, the "vitality" of the Wei is insignificant, formless and substantial, and this kind of inner dan in the ancient corpse is condensed by the creatures between heaven and earth who feel the essence of the sun, moon, mountains and rivers. In fact, the so-called "Neidan" does not make people prolong life, let alone immortality, but the vitality of heaven and earth is transformed into essence in the body of living beings, but the Nanyang head descender wants to pull out the corpse for Duoling, and it is absolutely inseparable from this thing.

In the past, there were many inner pills collected in the Imperial Palace, and the most famous one contained in the official history was the "Spider Treasure" in the Northern Song Dynasty. But now those antiquities have long been destroyed by natural disasters**, or lost without a trace, and they can only hope that they can be found in the ancient tombs of the underworld, as the ancients said, looking for elixirs in the ancient tombs and palaces is a move of "seeking mystery in the house".

However, there is no record of where there is an ancient tomb gold pill on the gold and silver five-color Dan furnace, I still don't give up, and I went to look at the upper and lower ends of the furnace wall, and said to Shirley Yang while looking: "Professor Sun is an expert in the study of ancient symbol ciphers, why did he sneak into the museum to see this Dan furnace?" This old man also wants to take food and ask the gods? He shouldn't have such a low level of consciousness, the people have cultivated him for so many years......"

Shirley Yang suddenly pressed the flashlight shaking in my hand, shone the beam to the stove top, and said to me, "Professor Sun probably wants to see this part...... The predecessor of this copper furnace came from Guiruin. ”

The high place of the furnace top is connected as a whole ornamentation, cast very finely, the characters and utensils are side portraits, the demeanor is simple and vivid, some are like comic books, first the sea is a wave, a group of "dragon soldiers", carrying a mouthful of ancient tripods ashore, the shape characteristics of this tripod are exactly the same as the copper tripod cast by the dragon fire of the hating heaven clan.

Then there is a hundred birds contending, a figure like a son of heaven lies horizontally next to the tripod, it seems that the ancient tripod is made a funeral offering after death, and the tripod is decorated with four ancient talismans respectively, which are dragons, people, fish, and ghosts, all embedded in a disc of the tripod body. Look at the disc that looks very much like the bone mirror of King Qin.

Next, the mountain tomb was pierced by the thunder, and many people lifted the giant tripod in the ancient tomb, and the tripod vessel has been torn apart so far, and it has been cast into a Dan furnace for refining medicine.

This layer of patterns should be a record of the origin of this Dan furnace, it seems to be the Zhou Dynasty when hating the antiquities of the Tian clan, buried in the ancient tomb when a certain generation of Zhou Tianzi was buried, and later due to natural disasters, the artifacts in the ancient tomb were exposed, and someone took away the copper tripod and recast it as a Dan furnace. In this way, those ancient hexagrams were all handed down from the ruins.

I know that the haters are proficient in ancient hexagrams and can illuminate candles to divinate everything, but there is one thing that I have always overlooked, since the Qin King Bone Mirror is matched with those mysterious eyeless hexagrams, it should be a hexagram mirror, and about the origin of the Qin King Bone Mirror, I am afraid it may not be as Professor Chen said. Perhaps we have been deceived from the beginning, and what ancient mirror relieves corpses, and the back of the mirror is soaked in corpse qi and cannot shine on people, all of which have nothing to do with this South China Sea hexagram mirror. King Qin's bone mirror may indeed have something, but it is certainly not the ancient mirror we salvaged from the shipwreck in the South China Sea, and the ghost knows what secrets are buried in this mirror.

Shirley Yang's face was not very good, she naturally sensed that we had been deceived, but what could be revealed from her eyes was a question: "Professor Sun sneaked into the museum to see the five-color Dan furnace, is it related to his research on the so-called Qin King Bone Mirror?" He is so obsessed with this ancient mirror, what does he want to do? ”

I said, "If you don't know it, you can't do it yourself." This old boy's work record has fallen into our hands, and after returning to the guest house, we will take a closer look at it, and we will not worry about finding out his details. ”

We looked at the five-color Dan furnace from the inside out, and then asked Ai Xiaohong to take us to see the lacquer coffin painted with fairies, as well as the replicas of copper ghosts and bronze people, and felt that there was nothing missing, so we were satisfied.

Ai Xiaohong sent us to the door of the Natural History Museum, I shook hands with her, and said politely: "I am a comrade-in-arms with your brother who loves to be mischievous, you are similar to my own sister, and I don't see you more politely, but I still want to thank you for taking us to visit these cultural relics tonight, and I also saw the treasure of this natural history museum - the white bat essence specimen that specializes in eating people before his death." ”

Ai Xiaohong said: "Brother Hu, don't be joking, when you have time to come to Hunan in the future, I will take you to visit the treasure of our Hunan town hall, which is a thousand-year-old wet corpse, a miracle of the world, much more interesting than a white bat specimen." Have you ever seen a real thousand-year-old corpse? Not an imitation. ”

I smiled at Ai Xiaohong and said, "I've seen it once or twice before, but it's not in the museum, so I didn't dare to take a closer look, and I'll have a good visit next time I go to your place." After speaking, he waved goodbye to Ai Xiaohong.

When we went back, it was already the middle of the night, there was no car on the road at all, so we had to open the "eleventh" with Shirley Yang Kai, and when we walked to the guest house, the lungs and tubes were numb from the cold, so we quickly made a cup of tea with the hot water in the kettle, and didn't even bother to take off the coat, so we lit a cigarette and prepared to look through Professor Sun's work records.

I was about to open it to read, but Shirley Young suddenly held down the notebook and said, "I don't think it's a good idea to do this?" Maybe these are the brains of Professor Sun, and we shouldn't peek without his consent......"

I said, "There are many kinds of peeking, and there is one kind of peeking that I saw by accident, and I accidentally looked at him a few times when he fell to the ground, so it stands to reason that it can't be regarded as a peeking." Besides, there are many people in the world who have the same name and surname, if we don't understand the content, how can we return it to Professor Sun with just one name? ”

I persuaded Shidey Yang to come alive and persuaded her to go with me to the work log. At this time, in the guest house, there is no one to disturb each other, speaking of which, my old Hu is also an amateur archaeological enthusiast, so I naturally want to calm down and watch carefully page by page. I said to Shirley Yang: "Professor Sun once told me that the content of his work is all state secrets, and his mother's braggadocio is not taxed, so let's see what state secrets this expert who studies the Dragon Bone Book of Heaven has......"

I couldn't suppress my curiosity and opened my work records as I spoke. This kind of notebook is the most common, there is a color insert for decoration every dozens of pages, and the color map is mostly a variety of landscapes in Beijing, including ** Square, the Great Hall of the People, the Summer Palace, etc., the paper is slightly yellow, and there are many bills in it, I am afraid it has been used for many years. The first page is printed with the red seal of stationery issued by Professor Sun's unit, and the four words "Be cautious in words and deeds" written in a pen at the bottom, and the signature of "Sun Xuewu" at the bottom.

Turning to the second page, I only looked at the first line of words, Shirley Yang and I were stunned, and we were extremely surprised in our hearts, and asked each other in unison: "How does Professor Sun know about the Taibao of Daming Guanshan?" ”
