The copper mirror is slightly smaller than the basin, the round black iron is used as the mirror base, and the brass is polished smooth and moist, such as the slightly raised bottom of the pot, which is tightly inlaid in the mirror base.

On the base of the black iron mirror, the edge of the copper mirror is enclosed with black jade, and the surface is carved with a wave water lotus pattern, smooth and delicate, translucent and oily, Kun, Xun, Li, and the four hexagrams are embedded in the groove, and the gold is slightly shining, and it is extravagant and gorgeous so far!

He held his breath and strained his hand to wrench the bronze mirror from the sink.

He thought that the dark iron bronze mirror would be very heavy, and it would not be difficult to pick it up with both hands, but he thought about it for a while, and the mirror base was probably hollow casting in order to reduce weight.

Turning over the back, there is no mirror to occupy, and the space that can be decorated on the base of the dark iron mirror has increased a lot.

The back decoration carving is divided into three parts, the outer edge of the edging, the mirror center, and the mirror body.

The outer rim is half an inch wide, and the waves are carved with silver edges, and strange beasts are carved out of red copper.

If you look closely, this strange water beast has a lion's head and wolf teeth, dragon scales and tiger body, crocodile claws with webbed, and a thin tail with brown hair, which are inlaid in the wave pattern in the posture of lying on the ground, a total of 12 pieces, evenly distributed along the mirror edge.

The heart of the mirror is particularly gorgeous, the size of a fist, the center of the circle, carved to look down on the lotus canopy!

One by one lotus seeds are inlaid with yellow glass beads, burr traces, round like fine beads, there are 24 pieces of different sizes, it can be described as lifelike, close to smell, as if you can smell the fragrance of lotus seeds.

Between the silver veins of the waves and the heart of the lotus canopy, there is a large area of tin silver lotus plate!

The color of tin silver is silver-white and light gray.

Outside the lotus canopy, there are a total of 45 gradually larger lotus petals, with nine petals in each of the five circles, which is exactly the number of ninety-five.

The lotus petals are extremely realistic!

Not only the image is like life, but even the fine lines and vertical wires, the color shades, and the curled edges are just right, as if the Buddha lotus is inlaid on the back of the mirror.

On the tip of the lotus of each petal, stone blue, stone green, cinnabar, earth red, black and placer gold...... All kinds of chalcedony beads are inlaid on it, no more, no less, exactly thirty-six.

The whole back of the mirror is carved intricately, inlaid with treasure and jade, the shape is gorgeous, the color is extravagant, and the atmosphere is magnificent.

Yue Guanchao doesn't know what this is, he only knows that this thing is at least a thousand years old, and it's very good!

He guessed that if the mirror was really completed at the same time as the temple, it was likely to be an antiquity of the Shengguo Kingdom of Haidong thousands of years ago.

"Whatever you are, I'm going to carry you up."

Yue Guanchao took out the rope and was about to tie it up, when he turned over the mirror, he accidentally shone the sunlight from the wellhead into the arch hole, and the dark hole mouth was completely illuminated.

Many things that were originally hidden in the dark arch gradually revealed their true bodies in the light.

He finally understood where the smell of rotting corpses in the cave came from.

Although there is plenty of water in the arch cave, it can still be seen that there are many river fish in it.

That's a dense body of catfish!

It is like a stall in the market where fish are killed and sold for meat, dead catfish are squeezed left and right, some have rotted and turned into fish bones, some have been corroded to the point that they are missing arms and fins, and their tails are bulging, and some are left with a breath left, turning their bellies and spitting out blood.

At this moment, Yue Guanchao only felt a chill in his back, his hair exploded, and he swallowed his saliva unconsciously.

No wonder there was such a strong smell of corpse decay, the arches wider than the carriage were all covered with corpses, and it must have been how many years of rotten flesh and corpse water had been accumulated to achieve such a foul smell.

According to the words of the old man, the black catfish is the incarnation of the dragon king, and the six animals they put into the well are to sacrifice the dragon king.

The black catfish, then, are all dead, which means that the livestock they feed are likely to be highly poisonous.

A few days ago it was the first day of the new year, and this black catfish that kept turning its belly thought that it had just been poisoned a few days ago and was not completely dead.

No matter how dull Yue Guanchao is, he also knows that Jiaolong Temple is very strange, judging from the respect that Old Man Yu and Ge Da have for the black catfish, they don't know about killing the catfish.

Then, the entire ceremony of commemorating the dragon king has become a slaughter ceremony for killing catfish.

It was originally intended to sacrifice to the dragon, but poisoned these black catfish, what were they covering, or who was deceived, the more Yue Guanchao thought about it, the more confused he became.

At the moment, he needed to send the bronze mirror up first, and he tied the bronze mirror like a crab, and was pulled out of the well by everyone.

"This thing is the water mirror?"

Yue Erpao almost committed suicide by throwing himself into a well the day before, he untied the rope and looked at the front of the bronze mirror, the slightly raised mirror could not see his face clearly.

Once a human face is in the camera, it is usually distorted into a monster with constricted facial features and a large brain, which looks extremely funny.

"This thing looks so ugly, would anyone really use it to look in the mirror?"

Before Yue Erpao finished speaking, Song Siyuan walked up to him and looked at the mirror, and explained to everyone:

"The mirror is not necessarily used to reflect people, this mirror has become like this, and it will not be made for makeup, probably for other purposes."

Since the bronze mirror was salvaged, the cat master has been squinting with his beard, he walked to the mirror and patted the back of his head:

"Guys, I seem to know what this thing is and what it's for."

This sentence attracted everyone to the past, and they came to the corridor, and the cat master put on reading glasses and praised him:

If I hadn't looked away, this bronze mirror would be the treasure of the prosperous country of Haidong - the mirror of Zhenshui to ward off evil spirits!
