Chapter 2: The King of Qin’s bone mirror

Professor Chen said: "Oh, everyone knows? OK, I really can't tell Xiao Hu Xiaopang... You all have such a high level of ideological awareness, so I won't go around in circles. Many national treasures in our China have been lost overseas. Whenever my old classmate Yang Xuanwei and I were always sad when they thought about this, I lived in the United States for a while after I recovered from my illness. During this period, I contacted some scholars and overseas Chinese who traveled to the United States, some of whom were famous experts who collected and appreciated antiques, and learned something shocking from them."

Then Professor Chen talked about the whole story of this matter. There was a legend before that when Qin Shihuang was in power, he saw someone salvaged a floating corpse by the beach. The male corpse was an old man, with a tall figure that was different from ordinary people, with a good appearance, with a beard that was longer than a chest, with white skin and a hard flesh as iron. He wore the ancient king's clothes and hunger in the sea for no reason, and had no idea how long it was, and he didn't know the origin of the death, but he still looked like a living face, and there was no sign of being soaked in the sea water for a long time. A sea breeze blew, and all the ancient corpses and beards were flying, just like a living person.

Qin Shihuang thought that this ancient corpse was the remains of the immortals in the sea and should be sacrificed and worshipped in order to ask the immortals to give them immortal medicine, but others held the opposite view. Qin Shihuang had always believed in the theory of cultivating immortals and refining alchemy. He had many alchemists under him. The alchemists believed that this was an ancient zombie, which was transformed by monsters, and must have emerged from the eyes of the sea in the South China Sea. It was ominous, so why not worship and seek medicine? Then he said that when this matter had happened, symbolizing what kind of omen it should be handled properly.

It was not easy to be a priest in the Qin Dynasty. Most ancient people were relatively simple and a little wise, and they were regarded as talented and wise. If they wanted to be an advisor to the emperor, the first skill was to be able to talk and talk about all those who died. Qin Shihuang was not a soft-hearted person, but he couldn't resist what the people said as if they were real. In addition, he believed in these mysterious and mysterious things, and was worried that zombies would be devastated in the eyes of the sea. Since they could not add to the torch knife and axe, they could only cave Dizang Na, so they ordered 30,000 prisoners to drill through a barren mountain to bury the corpse, forged a copper beast and pressed it on the zombie to the mountain, and invited the "Qin King's Bone Mirror" in the eight mirrors of the Qin wang to embed it on the beast's head, and finally closed the mountain and returned.

During the Qin and Han dynasties, people generally believed that bronze mirrors could suppress zombies, because people at that time wanted to "righteously" their faces to see if their expressions were solemn and serious, and whether their clothes and hats were neatly worn. If they were dressed crookedly, they had to come over quickly. Therefore, bronze mirrors were the representative of "rightness". One positive can suppress all evils. In addition, mirrors also represent "yang", a symbol of daytime, and a deterrent force to "yin".

The King of Qin swept the six-way to determine the world. In the process, he obtained many secret tools of the Six Kingdoms, including eight ancient mirrors, including the bronze mirror of the founder of the Legal family, and the King of Qin's bone mirror. It is said that this bronze mirror can reflect the bones and veins of the human body, and is a priceless treasure in the world. Qin Shihuang buried this bone mirror together with the ancient corpse in the sea into the mountains.

Qin Shihuang died shortly after returning to Xianyang. As for where the Qin King's bone mirror was buried, it became a mystery for all ages. No one knew its whereabouts. Things changed and stars moved. Until the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, someone was collecting herbs on the mountain. Suddenly, five dragons fought around a hill in the sky. In the end, all five dragons died. The dragon corpse fell from the sky. However, there was no dead dragon at the dragon's fall, only a large ditch was cracked on the ground.

The herb collector was panicked and told the nearby villagers about this. Everyone rushed to watch it. They saw a giant thing in the ditch that was about to come out. Everyone was shocked and thought that a mountain ghost was causing harm. So they set fire to burn it. After the fire, they found a copper giant beast from the ditch. The head of the cow was born and the body was horned on the head, the body was turtle shell, and the seven tails were tied to the skull at the end. The tail end was filled with skulls and killed the lower ones. The beast was wearing a bronze mirror with an ancient shape, and someone presented it to the emperor Song Huizong, who was in power at that time.

A minister with extensive knowledge and knowledge advised Emperor Huizong, saying that this ancient mirror was a pre-Qin object, which was the Qin King's bone mirror recorded in history books. This object was a demon-suppressing weapon in the Qin Dynasty. It was difficult to remove the demon atmosphere in the Qin Dynasty. It should not be left in the forbidden area. It should return to its original place and be buried again according to the etiquette system. However, Song Huizong regarded this mirror as a treasure and refused to give up. He stayed by his side to enjoy it. Soon after, the Jin soldiers and cavalry went south to destroy the Northern Song Dynasty and captured the two emperors of the Song Dynasty. The whereabouts of the Qin King's bone mirror were unknown again.

The incident of Qin Shihuang Nanxun meeting an ancient corpse on the beach is a legend of unofficial history, and it may not be taken seriously. However, the King of Qin's bone mirror has clear records in history books. Later scholars believe that this bone mirror is probably not a bronze mirror, but a very special substance that can see through the human body. If that is true, some scientific and technological history will be rewritten, just like some royal secret objects of the Han Dynasty mentioned in the Book of Han. Some of them may even be the first radioactive substance discovered by humans. If the real thing can be found now, it can shock the whole world. Unfortunately, this thing is like many ancient Chinese treasures. No one knows where it is. Since there is no real thing, it can only allow future generations to imagine with a few lines of ink marks in ancient books. While sighing and reminiscing, they leave many regrets and sighs.

When the Eight-Nation Alliance invaded, the "Qin King's Bone Mirror" appeared in the world again. Unfortunately, this time it was plundered by the British from the people and moved to India several times. Until the end of this year, another Southeast Asian rich man paid for it to buy it. Because it was smuggled out, he walked by sea. However, when the ship sailed to the high seas, it encountered a storm. After deviating from the course, he took the Qin King's Bone Mirror to be buried under the sea.

Almost no one survived the hundreds of passengers and crew on the ship. The storm lasted for several days, causing complete paralysis of communication. The maritime search and rescue work was very difficult. The wrecking location could not be found at all. There was only a rough direction. The sea area was close to the unfathomable South China Sea. It was a non-regardless area. Locals called it a "coral spiral" covered with reefs.

I already understood eight or nine points when I heard this. This was a major shipwreck accident that happened at that time. We also heard it a while ago. Since the King of Qin's bone mirror sank with the ship, I just need to find a professional salvage team to fish. I wonder what Professor Chen wants us to do in such a big circle.

Professor Chen said this and didn't say anything. He might want to see what I react, but except Shirley Yang listened very seriously, the rest of the people did not respond. The atmosphere seemed a little awkward. I pretended to be careless and glanced at Fatty and Big Gold Ya. They both seemed to be unheard, just caring about eating and drinking. They obviously didn't want to interfere in any chores that were not good enough to make.

After all, the relationship between us and Professor Chen is unusual. If we had not been recognized by him, I would not have been today, and it would be even more impossible to know Shirley Yang. Moreover, Shirley Yang is like Professor Chen's biological daughter, so no matter what the purpose of Professor Chen said, we have to support him and give him enough face.

I quickly said to everyone: "Professor Chen is worthy of being a professor. Being with you is just learning for a long time. Today I will give us an important lesson in history. I read the "Book of Changes" several times and felt that I was very educated. But after contacting you for too much, I realized what learning is endless. I feel like I am a little sesame seed in front of the big watermelon of history. Today I heard you talk about this, it is a pity that this King of Qin has a bone mirror. Otherwise, the people, compatriots, Hong Kong, Macao, overseas Chinese and foreign guests can all put their arms and legs in front of them to take a picture. That's so exciting, but it's not bad to fall into the sea. Stay there to look at the mermaids and other things. Antiquities are all spiritual. Maybe one day it will let the sea water come back."

As I spoke, I stepped on the fat man under the table, and asked him to say a few words quickly. The fat man was stepped on by me. He was a little stunned and immediately understood my intention. He wiped his mouth and raised a big finger to Professor Chen: "Hao, really high! When I dreamed at midnight, I often looked at my soul and asked myself, does the correct thoughts of human beings fall from the sky? Of course not. For example, if Mr. Chen had not read the four volumes of Xiongwen, he would not be able to quote the classics in this way. Every sentence was deafening, and every word was circling around for three days. What does this mean? This is the result of learning, so we must study more and read more books in the future, review the old and learn the new, walk the Long March again, and learn the three old articles again."

Da Jinya followed suit without taking the opportunity. Professor Chen nodded with relief and smiled: "I really read it wrong for you, Bayi and Xiaopang, and the second son of the Jin family. Don't look at you who have been delayed by ten years of turmoil and have not officially attended any school, but you see that your eloquence is not worse than that of me, a professor. What's more important is that you not only have the eloquence of being a diplomat, but also have the courage and courage of an explorer. So I often say that real talented people and strangers are among the people."

As soon as I heard this, I further confirmed my guess. As the saying goes, "A man is as tall as a man." Before I could say anything, a high hat was first put on. Not only did he have the eloquence of a diplomat, but he also had the courage of an explorer. This hat was too big. How big is it for us to do? But I really can't figure out what we can do about salvage shipwrecks. Our group of people are the gold-touching lieutenants who searched for the ancient tombs to search for the mountain and tieze, but they were really powerless to do anything about maritime affairs.

It was so anxious that I just made it clear: "Professor, we are not relatives, we are better than relatives. I don't see you, and I will say whatever I think of. The King of Qin sank into the South China Sea. I feel as anxious as you. But we have no ability. I just have some Feng Shui techniques and are powerless about this. Although I grew up on the beach in Fujian and have also crossed the sea with a boat, I have never been to the far sea. The vast sea is not within our ability, and it seems that it is like this.
