Chapter 26: The Bronze Mirror by the Roadside
Where to forget.
Zhou Kang fiddled with the purse every time when others couldn't see it, and the pattern on the purse was embroidered by Xiao Yu himself.
Zhou Kang's happiness is only shown to outsiders, and the pain in his heart has never diminished for a day.
Zhou Kang said, "General Han, what does that princess of yours look like?"
Han Jiangliu said: "It's beautiful. ”
"What's the American law?"
Han Jiangliu didn't want to say that she was the first beauty in the world, but said: "The daughter of the royal family is not beautiful, but also beautiful, because the living conditions are superior, and her temperament will naturally be cultivated." ”
Zhou Kang said: "She's a good person, don't we have to work hard to get her out, and then she is a big bad person." ”
Han Jiangliu said: "There are no bad people for women, only men are bad people, and women become bad because of men." ”
"Then there are no bad women in this world?"
"Nope. ”
"Why not?" Huaizhong disagreed, "There are so many bad women. ”
A few people chatted and continued to walk forward, and there was another village in front of them.
The village is small, with less than 20 households scattered around.
It was already early, and Huaizhong said, "Let's rest here tonight." ”
Han Jiangliu said: "Okay." ”
They found a large house at the entrance of the village, and the owner of this house, a middle-aged man in his forties, was very hospitable, invited them in, arranged a place for them to live, and helped feed the horses. Then the master asked, "Excuse me, what are you guys feeding?" and he pointed to the golden scale eagle that had come with them.
Zhou Kang said, "You can get some maple leaves, bamboo leaves, or something." We give money. He added, "I don't have any money, but we General Han do, and he's a rich man." ”
Han Jiangliu said, "Master, go get some of it, we will give you a lot of money for the meal." "Han Jiangliu came all the way, and the money on his body was enough to spend, and because he was ordered to do things, if the money was not enough, he could also ask the local government for it.
The owner scratched his head and said, "I didn't mean that, I mean, in our place, there are no maple leaves, and there are no bamboo leaves." ”
"What then?" said Zhou Kang, "I can't let my golden scale eagle starve!"
The golden scale eagle turned his round eyes and saw a broom made of bamboo next to the barn on the left. He raised his eyes and looked at Zhou Kang again, and then at the broom.
Zhou Kang understood and said to his master, "You can sell us that broom." ”
The master said, "That's not going to work." ”
"Let's give more money, you see, my golden scale eagle is indeed hungry. ”
The owner said: "In our village, we can't find a village in front of us, and we can't find a shop in the back, and if we want to buy a broom, we need to go to Pingwu Town, which is thirty miles away." But we haven't been able to go to town for three years. ”
Han Jiangliu was curious: "Why?"
The host said: "Because the road from our village to Pingwu Town has not been smooth recently. ”
Huaizhong asked: "Are there robbers?" ”
The master said, "Not robbers, it's mirrors." ”
Zhou Kang said: "What's so terrible about the mirror, unless you look ugly, but you are white and clean, beautiful and bright, I feel sorry for you." ”
The master said, "My brother is laughing." If you want to hear about the origin and horror of this mirror, I will tell you in detail. ”
"Okay, you say, you say. ”
"I'll go prepare the meal first. Saying that, the host and his wife went to the kitchen, and after half a day's work, they prepared a table of dishes, which were not sumptuous, but they were already enthusiastic about the people in the small village.
"Come, sit down, eat, drink. The hostess, the hostess, and Han Jiangliu sat around a table and ate together.
During the meal, the man told the story of the mirror.
This village is called Liushui Village, and the town thirty miles east of it is called Pingwu Town.
Pingwu Town is a big town, and villages within a radius of forty or fifty miles go to that town to buy daily necessities. This has been the case for thousands of years.
Until three years ago, a large bronze mirror was erected on several traffic arteries to Pingwu Town. The copper realm is placed on the road, which is extremely heavy and difficult for passing vehicles and pedestrians to pass. This thing obstructs the road second, even if everyone can't lift the bronze mirror, they can work together to open a new road next to the copper realm to facilitate passage.
But this can't be done either, when the local village chief Li Chang led the people to open the way, the bronze mirror suddenly rotated, and the bronze mirror was smooth and faced everyone. Everyone saw their own image in the bronze mirror, it was a stunned and indescribable expression, some surprised, some fearful, some inexplicable, in short, none of them were smiling.
In the bronze mirror, everyone has changed rapidly from the prime of life to old age, with white hair, teeth and teeth shaking, and then the shape of the bones stands, and then the ground is committed, turning into a white bone.
Hell in the day.
The village chief does not believe in evil, and wants to go to the bronze mirror to find out, he approaches the bronze mirror step by step, everyone looks at the village chief's old but still steady pace, and feels that his heart is much more steady, there is such a good village official who works hard for everyone, how can everyone not have a good life.
The village chief walked over to the bronze mirror, and his image in the mirror became clearer and clearer, it was in the shape of a skeleton, staggering, as if it was about to collapse at any moment. The village chief is to the left, the skeleton is also to the left, and the village chief is to the right, and the skeleton is also to the right.
"This is what the village chief will look like in the future. That's what the villagers thought.
The village chief touched the bronze mirror, then turned his head and said to everyone: "There is nothing to be afraid of, it's just an illusion, let's continue to work, let's reopen a smooth road." ”
"Good. Although the villagers had doubts, they all made up their minds and continued to teach the transportation of stones and the leveling of soil.
The village chief touched the image of his skeleton in the bronze mirror again, and something strange happened, some villagers saw it, and the village chief walked through the mirror.
The village chief and the skeleton are one, and they can no longer tell who is who.
Moreover, he only shook in the mirror, going farther and farther, and in the real world, there was no longer such a person as the village chief.
Everyone felt unbelievable, there was such a strange thing in the world, and at the same time fell into deep fear, what is this bronze mirror, who put it here, what does he want to do?
It's a series of mysteries that are difficult to solve.
Everyone pointed in front of the bronze mirror, and went around to the back of the copper mirror to see, behind the copper mirror is just a very ordinary-looking ordinary copper plate carved with some simple patterns.
The villagers walked around the bronze mirror a few times, and then walked to the front of the bronze mirror, two bold villagers touched the mirror, nothing special, and touched some of their old faces in the mirror, these two villagers also walked into the mirror, gradually walked away, and finally disappeared.
Yes?
Yes!
If it is said that the event that occurs once is just accidental, and it is not enough to touch the most sensitive nerves in everyone's hearts, then the occurrence of two or even three events is inevitable, it is a kind of demon that surrounds people from front to back, from left to right, up and down, and the deepest fear blows everyone to the point that they dare not sweat.
The villagers threw away the paving tools in their hands, ran to the village as if they were dead, ran home, and closed the door of the house, and did not come out, trembling for a month.
Within a month, nothing strange happened.
A month later, the villagers gradually calmed down from their fears and began to go out of their homes to visit and chat with each other.
There were very few people in the village, and three people disappeared inexplicably all of a sudden, which was really a big deal for Liushui Village. Everyone recommended another respected old man as the village head, hoping that he could take the lead in helping the whole village get out of the predicament.
And this new village chief also has no way, and communicated with several neighboring villages, and the situation encountered is similar, except that some villages have disappeared a few more people, some villages have disappeared a few less, and some villages have disappeared because of caution, no one has disappeared, but the only thing that is the same is that the villages near Pingwu Town are all panicked, and they are quite troubled by the big bronze mirror.
Hearing this, Han Jiangliu and the others were silent, this is indeed an extremely strange thing.
The bronze mirror is a plane, and when people enter it, they can disappear, is it from this bronze mirror that they shuttle into another time and space?
If that's the case, there's a way for this world to be intertwined with the other, and that's a big deal.
Han Jiangliu thought for a while and said, "Master, can you take us to see the bronze mirror." ”
The master shook his head like a rattle and said, "I don't dare, I'm afraid of disappearing." ”
Han Jiangliu said: "Just go and see, don't touch, don't touch, it should be fine." ”
The master said: "I don't dare, I advise you not to go, after you go, you will disappear inexplicably, you can't see anyone alive, you can't see a corpse dead, it's terrible to think about." ”
Han Jiangliu asked, "So, how did you find that bronze mirror?"
"The road is easy to find, from this to the east, there is only one big road, go along the big road, don't turn around, you will see it in the middle of the two mountains. But don't go. ”
The master spoke insincerely, and kept saying that he was afraid that Han Jiangliu and the others would encounter danger when they went, but he explained the direction of the road and the way to go clearly.
Han Jiangliu said, "Captain Huai, Brother Zhou Kang, after dinner, let's go and have a look." ”
Huaizhong and Zhou Kang said, "Okay, listen to General Han." ”
After eating, the three of them said goodbye to the master's house, and then took two horses and a carving, and went east from Liushui Village to the bronze mirror between the two mountains that the master said.
The distance of more than ten miles was said to be there, and when it was not long, Huaizhong had already seen it and said, "Look, it is there." ”
The two of them looked in the direction of his finger, and saw the bronze mirror shining in front of them.
The three men urged the horses and drove the eagles, and accelerated forward until they reached the bronze mirror.
The bronze mirror stands upright, there are three people superimposed so high, next to the bronze mirror, the traces of the villagers building the road are still there, but they are only halfway, a mess.
