It turns out that this place is still a little bit ancient, when Tang Xuanzong, Yangzhou Taishou's hometown is located here, one year, and when it was time to pay tribute, this task came down heavily, when he arrived in Yangzhou Taishou here, he was worried, convened his subordinates to discuss, decided to pay tribute to Tang Xuanzong, the mirror does not sound very precious, hearing this, Bai Yi was a little puzzled, but immediately relieved, the annual local tribute, that is for the royal family, not to mention the precious, not to mention ordinary, The audit of the tribute is also very strict, if there is the same, it will definitely not pass, every year when it comes to the tribute, the places are racking their brains, trying to win the emperor's favor, than the harem concubine has a headache. (Big man hooks wife addicted)

This Yangzhou Taishou finally decided to pay tribute with a mirror, because on this mirror to be built, there will be a dragon shape, the emperor is the true body of the dragon, what is happier than seeing himself compared to a dragon? It's just that this mirror is definitely not an ordinary cast mirror, and Yangzhou Taishou finally decided to make a "mirror of a hundred refinements." “

The Tang Dynasty's mirror Bai Yi also handled one or two pieces, with bronze as the main material, during the Tang Dynasty, when porcelain had replaced copper, bronze declined, bronze technology was concentrated on the copper mirror, bronze mirror is the most common daily necessities, to make an ordinary daily necessities into a tribute that can be favored by the emperor, this is not an easy thing. （）

Yangzhou Taishou has only one request, to make the dragon on the mirror look like the real thing, invited a lot of skilled craftsmen, but never met this requirement, to sublimate an ordinary bronze mirror, this is not an easy thing.

But if the story is just here, there will be no thing about the sacrificial tower behind, Sister Hong seems to have told this story many times to her children, and now she is very skilled in telling it, everyone is a little fascinated by it, the plot ups and downs are not to say, Sister Hong's soft voice makes everyone very involved.

The turning point of things appeared in an old man and a child, these two people suddenly came to the town, the old man was white and white, born with kind eyebrows, the child was only ten years old, but shrewd and abnormal, these two people came to the town, the people in the town did not pay attention to these two outsiders, the craftsmen in the town are worried about the casting of the bronze mirror, but I didn't expect this old and a young to take the initiative to send it to the door, saying that it is the whole world, only they can cast a peerless copper realm, Yangzhou is too suspicious, but it is better to try it by his subordinates, This old and small come strangely, but the head is not small, ask for a separate courtyard, no one is allowed to disturb during the period, very mysterious, although Yangzhou Taishou knows the doubts, but the time to pay tribute is about to come, and only agreed. （）

The old and the young stayed in the yard for seven days, the door did not take a step, the food was just sent from a small hole, what was the situation inside, no one knew, finally seven days passed, but the door was still not opened, Yangzhou Taishou finally couldn't help but break in, but found that an old and a young were no longer in the courtyard, leaving only a letter, and the bronze mirror that was being cast in the fire, the mirror has not yet been formed, the letter explained, the mirror must be moved to the middle of the Yangtze River, and after seven days, the mirror will be pushed down the Yangtze River, and it will be naturally refined.

This sounds a little suspenseful, looking at the half-formed mirror in the fire, Yangzhou Taishou is also helpless, only according to the old and young left the words of the casting furnace on the boat, the boat is parked in the most central position of the Yangtze River, the fire is also strange, no need to add firewood, but also burned vigorously, burned for seven days, the fire suddenly extinguished itself, Taishou gave an order, the bronze mirror was pushed into the Yangtze River, the next person on one side said anxiously, this mirror pushed into the river, what if it sinks?

What I didn't expect was that the mirror entered the river, the horse rose up and the white mist rose, and when the fog dissipated, a copper mirror floated on the water, and someone went down to fish it up, the back of the bronze mirror was a dragon, jumping on the bronze surface, and it was about to soar into the sky, everyone saw this dragon, and their hearts palpitated, and the Yangzhou Taishou was even more surprised, if this treasure mirror was dedicated to the emperor, it would definitely be able to get the emperor's favor, but he was also puzzled, what kind of person was the old and the young, who actually had such ability, because the mirror was cast in the heart of the river, Therefore, it was named Jiang Xinjing and immediately presented to the imperial court. （）

As for the origin of the old and the young, Yangzhou Taishou was naturally unwilling to let go, and sent someone out to investigate, but there was no reply at all, after a long time, Taishou had already received tribute anyway, so naturally he didn't pursue it, and the identity of the old and the young became a mystery, but the Jiang Xinjing, fate was ups and downs.

That Jiang Xin Mirror is like a real dragon in the mirror, to please the emperor, too shou has won countless rewards, Tai Shou's mission is completed, but then the drought, this Jiang Xin mirror has helped a lot, the world is drought, want to rain but can't get, the monk who is responsible for calling the rain, told Tang Xuanzong, if you want to call the rain, you need a thing with the breath of the true dragon, the emperor allowed him to enter the country to find the treasures of the library, he fell in love with this Jiang Xin mirror, sure enough, this mirror sacrifice, sure enough, the rain down, the emperor loved this Jiang Xin mirror more and more, In particular, this tall tower was erected in this town, called the Sacrificial Mirror Tower, but after the Anshi Rebellion, this mirror mysteriously disappeared and disappeared.

"I know the monk who called for the rain." Bai Yi said: "This person was a very famous astronomer in the Tang Dynasty, and he had a very wide range of knowledge not only in Esoteric Buddhism, Zen Buddhism, Tiantai Buddhism or Taoism. In fact, he was originally a Tiantai scholar, and later entered Tantra, and he was a very good person. “

"Looking for the Dragon Lord to call for rain?" Lei Zi smiled: "Just listen to this kind of thing." “

"This little brother is originally a story handed down from the ancestors, just listen to it, you didn't listen to it, in the end, this Jiang's state of mind is gone, which means that there is no such thing." Sister Hong smiled: "We just tell the child as a story, so that it can be passed on from generation to generation, but ......"

Sister Hong looked at the sacrificial mirror tower not far away: "This tower can always explain something, such a tall tower is not suitable for us here at all." “

This is true, and the tower is almost towering into the sky, it is already very eye-catching from a distance, this can make that history more credible, Xiao Ning listened to it very fascinated, several people listened to this story, only to find that the sky had darkened, and now they need to find a place to live, that Sister Hong is very enthusiastic, telling everyone that there is no hotel in this town, everyone is a little blind, that Sister Hong is easy to speak, saying that the yard of her home is big, there are many rooms, if they are willing to squeeze it, there is no problem, Bai Yi has to pay, Sister Hong refused to want it, she didn't want it, Xiao Ning was clever, and went to buy a lot of non-staple food for Sister Hong's children, which made Sister Hong's family very happy.

The peaceful atmosphere in this town makes Lei Zi very emotional, he has been to a lot of places, and has never seen a place that seems to have no disputes, no fighting, he asked, dare to love in the previous booming and hot struggle, here is not affected at all, not to mention people fighting people, that is, usually, stepping on an ant, people here are unbearable, someone dropped something, immediately someone went over to pick it up, met an older person to lift something, immediately someone to help, the whole town is completely happy.

Tang Sancheng has been paying attention to the direction of this town, the more he looks, the more puzzled he becomes, and when he came to Sister Hong's house, he asked Sister Hong if the town had been rebuilt before, and Sister Hong was surprised: "How do you know?" After that rain, the whole town was rebuilt according to the new layout, which has also been passed down from generation to generation. “

"So." Tang Sancheng somewhat understood: "Why did you suddenly want to rebuild it at the beginning?" “
