Pharmacist Li rushed forward and said, "Dao Chief, can you calculate a hexagram for the evening?" ”

The Taoist looked at Pharmacist Li lightly and asked, "What does Childe want to ask?" ”

Pharmacist Li said: "I want to ask about the bronze mirror at night." ”

The Daoist laughed and said, "Childe also heard that Lao Dao has a bronze mirror, and he wants to treat the good guys? The bronze mirror of Lao Dao has an extraordinary origin, if the son is really sincere, the old Tao is willing to talk to the son. ”

Pharmacist Li bowed down and said, "I wish to hear the details in the evening." ”

The man swept the dust: "In this case, please ask the son to move the jade." ”

He didn't wait for Pharmacist Li to answer, and walked away.

Pharmacist Li had to follow quickly.

The man seemed to be walking calmly, but Pharmacist Li almost did his best to keep up with him.

Pharmacist Li thought that he was quite familiar with Dongshi, but he had never been to the path that this person walked.

The East Market is bustling and noisy, but after following this person three times and two turns, the surrounding environment is already very secluded.

At that moment, the man stopped.

Pharmacist Li stopped with the man, and his chest was already quite panting.

However, seeing that the man was still calm, he refused to show weakness, and only secretly adjusted his breath.

The man smiled and said: "The son's cultivation is already superior among the younger generation, and the old way is disrespectful. Childe's name, please? ”

Pharmacist Li tried to suppress his breath and waved to the man, "Don't dare at night." In the late Sanyuan Li pharmacist, he didn't dare to ask the Taoist chief. ”

The Taoist said: "It turned out to be the three original famous families, and the old way was disrespectful." The old Taoist Xu Hongke is here to cultivate the truth. ”

I saw Xu Hongke pointing casually, and the two wooden doors in front of him rolled open.

Xu Hongke raised his hand to greet the guest: "Li Gongzi, please." ”

Pharmacist Li raised his eyes to take a look, but saw that above the wooden door, there was a very large and extremely thick humble wooden plaque, with the words "Qingming" written on it.

When he entered, he found himself in an ancient Taoist temple.

Xu Hongke took him into the temple and soon took out a wooden box.

He opened the wooden box, took out a bronze mirror from the box, and handed it to Pharmacist Li.

Pharmacist Li took the mirror, but saw that the bronze mirror was strange in style, about eight inches in diameter, and the mirror button was like a unicorn crouching.

The unicorn is in all directions, there are green dragons, vermilion birds, white tigers, and Xuanwu, which are displayed according to the four elephant directions.

There is gossip outside the four elephants, and there are images of the zodiac engraved outside the gossip.

In addition to the zodiac, there are 24 ancient characters around the outline, the style is like a seal, and the dots are flawless, but Pharmacist Li does not know it.

Xu Hongke said: "This is the image of the twenty-four solar terms. ”

At this time, the sun had not yet set in the west, and Pharmacist Li reflected the sunlight in the mirror, only to see that the pattern on the back of the mirror was faintly visible, but his image in the mirror was not lost.

Pharmacist Li flicked the back of the mirror again, and only heard the clear sound like a chime, which was slowly led around the beam, and it was not stopped for a long time.

If compared with the half of the bronze mirror of Princess Lechang, this mirror construction method may not be as rich and delicate as it, but the quaint and simple are far surpassed.

He knew that as Xu Hongke said, this mirror must have an extraordinary origin, and he thought that he could not afford to buy it, so he returned it to Xu Hongke: "This mirror is really a divine product." ”

Xu Hongke said with a smile: "According to Gongzi, how much is this bronze mirror worth?" ”

Pharmacist Li said: "Dao Chang's mirror can be described as a priceless treasure. In the late interval, I am afraid that there will be no blessings. ”

Xu Hongke smiled: "How can there be a priceless treasure in the world? Why don't you bid arbitrarily. ”

Seeing that Xu Hongke repeatedly forced himself to bid, Pharmacist Li thought to himself, it would be better to take out the half of Princess Lechang's bronze mirror and let him bid before he could make a decision.

So he said: "Dao Chief, I also happened to have a bronze mirror next to me at night, can I please take a look?" ”

At that moment, he took out the bronze mirror from his arms and handed it to Xu Hongke.

Xu Hongke took the half of the bronze mirror of Princess Lechang, examined it, and sighed at the bronze mirror: "Bronze mirror, bronze mirror, husband and wife in their prime are separated by two places, so they rely on this mirror!" ”

He played with it repeatedly, and the light and shadow of the slanting sun were reflected on the beams of the house through the bronze mirror, like birds and magpies flying.

Suddenly, the sun was dazzling, and Pharmacist Li instinctively closed his eyes, but out of the corner of his eye, he seemed to catch a glimpse of a cloud of light and shadow rushing out of the house and flying straight into the sky.

When Pharmacist Li opened his eyes again, Xu Hongke had already put away the bronze mirror, handed it back to him, and said: "The mirror of the old way, but it is just an antiquity that is photographed and recognized: the mirror of the son, but it is the half-life aggregation of a husband and wife. Childe's half of the bronze mirror is an authentic priceless treasure. ”

When Pharmacist Li heard this, he was shocked, and couldn't help asking, "According to the Taoist leader, can the other half of the bronze mirror still be found?" ”

Xu Hongke smiled wryly, and his words were mysterious: "If you can't find it, won't the allusion of 'broken mirror reunion' in later generations be lost?" ”

Pharmacist Li knew that he had met a stranger, so he hurriedly bowed down and asked, "Don't you dare to ask the Taoist master, is the other half of the bronze mirror already in place?" ”

Xu Hongke said with a smile: "The time has not come, what good is the child's anxiety?" ”

Pharmacist Li hurriedly asked, "I don't know when, is the time?" ”

Xu Hongke said with a smile: "On the night of the full moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival, when the mirror is broken and reunited.

At that time, Childe will go to the East City again, and he will see it. ”

Pharmacist Li knew that it was useless to ask more, so he sat down for a while and got up to take his leave.

Xu Hongke sent him out of the "Qingming", and the two wooden doors closed again.

Pharmacist Li saw that it was dark outside the door, and the smoke and dust were obscure.

He groped his way forward until the smoke cleared, and found himself back on the avenue of the East Market.

Pharmacist Li probed into his arms, and the half of the bronze mirror was still there.

He thought to himself that this bronze mirror had been in his hands for more than a day, and the sunlight had never shone so brightly as it did today.

At the moment, he was curious, so he took out the bronze mirror and tried to reflect the afterglow.

However, no matter how he flipped the bronze mirror, the light and shadow were only dim.

He sighed lightly, and when he was about to put it away, he found that the delicately carved and cast broken feather colored magpie on the back of the bronze mirror was gone, leaving a blank in its place.

He was greatly shocked, and when he looked at the sunlight again, there was a faint light and shadow of colorful magpies flying in the blank space.

He put away the bronze mirror in a daze, and couldn't help but speculate in his heart, where is Xu Hongke sacred?

He thought again, since Xu Hongke and other outsiders said that the broken mirror could be reunited, why should he be suspenseful in vain? So he no longer went in and out of the East Market, but waited for the Mid-Autumn Festival to come.

At that time, the Mid-Autumn Festival was only a day to worship the god of agriculture, not only had it not yet become a major festival in China, and there was not even a custom of moon viewing.

Compared with the Zhongyuan Festival, where the Daomen commemorates the souls of the ancestors and the Buddhists hold the Bon Festival, the Mid-Autumn Festival in the Sui Dynasty is a rather deserted full moon day.

In the afternoon of this day, Pharmacist Li came to Dongshi again.

Xu Hongke said that he had his own opinions, so Pharmacist Li didn't have to deliberately look for it, just wandered around casually.

When the sun was slightly off, suddenly the sun was dazzling, and Pharmacist Li instinctively closed his eyes again, and out of the corner of his eye, he seemed to catch a glimpse of a cloud of light and shadow rushing into the city.

When Pharmacist Li opened his eyes, he could only hear the noise of birds and birds near the left.

He knew something was wrong, and hurried after the sound of the birds.

When he got close to the sound of birds, Pharmacist Li saw a flock of birds flying away in front of him.

He found himself again in the place where the bronze mirror vendors gathered, and a merchant in front of him was greeting him.

When Pharmacist Li saw that the merchant was the one who told Xu Hongke that he wanted to sell the mirror because he saw himself playing with the bronze mirror, he stepped forward.

I saw another man in ragged clothes in front of the shop.
