Ghost Blowing Lantern II

Professor Chen said: "Oh, you all know? Well, I really can't tell Xiao Hu Xiaopang... You all have such a high ideological awareness, so I won't talk in circles. Many of our national treasures in China have been lost overseas. Back then, My old classmate Yang Xuanwei and I feel sad every time we think about this matter. After I recovered from my illness, I lived in the United States for a period of time. During this period, I came into contact with some scholars and overseas Chinese in the United States, some of whom were engaged in Famous antique collectors and appreciators learned an earth-shattering thing from their mouths."

Then Professor Chen talked about the ins and outs of this incident. There was a legend in the past that when Qin Shihuang was on the throne, he was touring the south. On the way, he saw someone salvage a floating corpse from the sea. This male corpse was an old man, tall and unusually tall. He has a good appearance, his beard is longer than his chest, his skin is white and moist, and his flesh is as hard as iron. He is wearing the clothes of the ancient king. He has been floating in the sea for an unknown period of time, and his origin and cause of death are unknown, but his complexion still looks as lifelike, and nothing has been affected by the sea water. As a sign of long-term immersion, a gust of sea breeze blows, and the ancient corpse's men and eyebrows are flying, just like a living person.

Qin Shihuang believed that this ancient corpse was the remains of the immortal in the sea, and should be sacrificed and enshrined in order to ask the immortal to give him the elixir of death. However, others held the opposite view. Qin Shihuang had always been superstitious about cultivating immortals and refining elixirs. He had many alchemists under his command. He believed that this was an ancient zombie that was transformed into a monster. It must have emerged from the eyes of the South China Sea. Seeing it was already ominous. How could he worship and ask for medicine? Then he said when and when this happened. However, what kind of omen does it symbolize, and how should it be handled properly?

It was not easy to make a living as an alchemist in the Qin Dynasty. Most people in ancient times were relatively simple. If they were a little eloquent, they were regarded as talented and eloquent. If you want to be an adviser to the emperor, your first skill is to be able to talk and talk to death. Qin Shihuang was not a soft-spoken person, but he couldn't stand what these people said as if they were true. In addition, he believed deeply in these mysterious and mysterious things, and was worried that zombies would appear in the eyes of the sea. There was a sign of the country's subjugation. Since they could not use firewood, swords or axes, they could only hide them in caves, so they ordered 30,000 criminals to dig through a barren mountain to bury the corpses. They cast a bronze beast and pressed it on the zombies to suppress the mountain. The "King of Qin's Bone Mirror" in the mirror is embedded in the animal's head, and it finally closes the mountain and returns.

During the Qin and Han Dynasties, people generally believed that bronze mirrors could suppress zombies, because people at that time wanted to "correct their appearance" in front of the mirror to see if their expressions were solemn and serious, and whether their clothes and hats were neatly dressed. Come right now, so the bronze mirror represents "righteousness". One righteousness can suppress all evils. In addition, the mirror also represents "yang", which is a symbol of daytime and a deterrent to "yin".

The King of Qin swept Liuhe to rule the world. In the process, he obtained many secret weapons of the Six Kingdoms, including eight ancient mirrors, including the bronze mirror of the founder of Legalism, and the King of Qin's Bone Mirror. Legend has it that this bronze mirror can Looking at the veins of human bones is a rare and priceless treasure in the world. Qin Shihuang buried this bone mirror together with the ancient corpses in the sea into the mountains.

Qin Shihuang died shortly after returning to Xianyang. As for where the King of Qin's bone mirror was buried, it has become a mystery for eternity. No one knows its whereabouts. Things have changed and things have changed. Until the late Northern Song Dynasty, someone was collecting medicine on the mountain. Suddenly, five dragons were seen fighting around a hill in the sky. In the end, all five dragons died, and the dragon corpse fell from the sky. However, there was no dead dragon where the dragon fell, and only a large ditch opened in the ground.

The herb collector was panicked and told the nearby villagers about the incident. Everyone rushed to take a look and saw a giant thing squirming out of the ditch. Everyone was frightened, thinking that a mountain ghost was causing harm, so they set fire to it. Later, a huge beast made of copper was obtained from the ditch. It had the head of an ox and the body of a turtle. There were horns on the head. The body was a turtle shell and had seven tails. The tail end was tied with a skull. It was ugly in shape. It was thick at the top and killed at the bottom. Wearing a simple bronze mirror, someone dedicated it to the then-reigning emperor Song Huizong.

A well-informed minister advised Emperor Huizong, saying that this ancient mirror was a pre-Qin artifact, and it was exactly the King of Qin's bone mirror recorded in history books. While in the ban, the objects should be returned to their original place and re-buried according to the etiquette and restored to their original state. However, Song Huizong regarded it as a treasure and refused to part with it. He stayed with him to enjoy it. Soon after, the Jin soldiers and cavalry went south to destroy the Northern Song Dynasty. The two emperors of the Song Dynasty were captured, and the whereabouts of the King of Qin's Bone Mirror were unknown again.

The fact that Qin Shihuang met an ancient corpse on the beach in Nanxun is originally a legend in unofficial history and may not be taken seriously. However, there is a clear record of the King of Qin's bone mirror in the history books. Later scholars believe that this bone mirror was probably not made of copper. A mirror is a very special substance that can see through the human body. If that is the case, some of the history of science and technology will be rewritten, just like some of the royal secret weapons of the Han Dynasty mentioned in the "Book of Han". Some of them, even It may be the earliest radioactive material discovered by mankind. If the actual object can be found now, it will shock the whole world. Unfortunately, this thing is like many ancient Chinese treasures. No one knows its whereabouts. Since there is no actual object, it can only be left to its own devices. Later generations relied on a few lines of ink in ancient books to imagine and reflect with emotion, leaving many regrets and sighs.

When the Eight-Power Allied Forces invaded later, the "King of Qin Bone Mirror" appeared in the world again. Unfortunately, this time it was looted from the people by the British. After several times, it ended up in India. Until the end of this year, another Southeast Asian rich man He paid to buy it, because it was smuggled out, so it took the sea route. However, when the ship sailed to the high seas, it encountered a storm, deviated from the course, and was buried at the bottom of the sea with the Bone Mirror of King Qin.

Of the hundreds of passengers and crew on the ship, almost no one survived. The storm lasted for several days, causing complete communication paralysis. The search and rescue work at sea was very difficult. The location of the shipwreck could not be found at all. There was only a general direction. The sea area was close to The unfathomable South China Sea is an area that no one cares about. Locals call it a "coral spiral" filled with reefs.

After hearing this, I already understood eighty-nine points. This was a major shipwreck that occurred at that time. We all heard about it a while ago. Since the King of Qin's bone mirror sank together with the ship, just find a professional salvage team to salvage it. Sorry, I don’t know what Professor Chen wants us to do in such a big circle and with such earnest words.

Professor Chen stopped talking at this point. He might want to see my reaction, but except for Shirley Yang who listened very seriously, no one else responded. The atmosphere seemed a bit awkward. I pretended to be casual and glanced at Looking at the fat man and the big gold tooth, they seemed not to have heard anything and were just focusing on eating and drinking. They obviously didn't want to get involved in any unprofitable chores.

After all, the relationship between us and Professor Chen is unusual. Without his approval, I would not be where I am today, let alone know Shirley Yang. Moreover, Shirley Yang is like Professor Chen’s biological daughter, so regardless of Chen What is the purpose of what the professor said? We all have to support him and give the old man enough face.

I quickly said to everyone: "Professor Chen is indeed a professor. Being with you is learning a lot. Today he taught us an important lesson in history. When I read the "Book of Changes" several times, I felt that I was quite knowledgeable. It seems that I am educated, but after getting in touch with you more, I know what endless learning is. I feel that I am just a small sesame in front of the big watermelon of history. It is a pity to hear what you said today. This is the bone mirror of King Qin. , how about putting it in a museum so that the people, Hong Kong and Macao compatriots, overseas Chinese and foreign guests can stretch out their arms and kick their legs to take pictures. That would be very exciting, but it would also be good to fall into the sea. Let’s stay there and take pictures of mermaids or something. Yes, all ancient objects have spirituality, and one day they may be washed back by the sea water."

As I spoke, I stepped on the fat man under the table and asked him to say a few words. The fat man was stunned for a moment and immediately understood my intention. He wiped his mouth and raised a thumbs up at Professor Chen. Refers to: "High, really high! When I dream back at midnight, I often look at my soul and ask myself, do people's correct thoughts fall from the sky? Of course not, for example, if Mr. Chen is not familiar with it, After four volumes of Xiongwen, it is impossible for the words to be quoted from scriptures in paragraphs, the sentences are deafening, and the words are lingering for three days. What does this mean? This is the result of learning, so we must study more and read more in the future, and review the past. Learn something new, go back to the Long March, and learn the three old chapters again."

Big Jinya wasted no time in agreeing. When Professor Chen saw this, he nodded happily and smiled: "I really saw you right, Bayi, Xiaopang, and the second son of the Jin family. Don't look at the chaos and delay you had before. You have gone to school, but you can see that your eloquence is no worse than that of a professor like me. What is more important is that you not only have the eloquence to be as good as a diplomat, but also have the courage and courage of an explorer, so I often say, The real talented people are among the people."

As soon as I heard this, my guess was further confirmed. As the saying goes: "A person is as tall as a person who doesn't ask for help." Before I even said anything, a high hat was put on me. It not only possesses the eloquence of a diplomat, but also has the eloquence of a diplomat. We have the courage of an explorer, and this hat is too big. How big of a task do we have to do? But I really don’t understand what we can do to salvage the sunken ship. Our group is a gold-touching captain who searches the mountains and marshes for ancient tombs, but we are really powerless about maritime affairs.

It made people anxious to go around like this, so I simply made it clear: "Professor, we are not relatives more than relatives. I will stay away from you and just say whatever comes to my mind. The bone mirror of King Qin sank in the South China Sea. I'm as anxious as you are, but we don't have any skills. I only know a little about Feng Shui, so I can't do anything about it. Although I grew up on the coast of Fujian and have gone out to sea with boats, I didn't go there. Crossing the distant sea, the vast sea is beyond our reach, and salvaging something like on such a large ship is by no means that simple, not to mention that we can’t even find the place where the ship sank. Isn’t that the same as finding a needle in a haystack? Even if foreign professionals I am afraid that even the salvage organization cannot solve the problem overnight. I heard that a British diving company cooperated with the government to salvage the gold on the sunken ship. It has been fishing for nearly ten years and has just completed the preliminary work. It wants to fish it all. I don’t even know that I’m going to catch the Year of the Monkey, the Horse and the Moon. I think we can just express our regrets and regrets at home.” (To be continued, if you want to know what the funeral is like, please log in, there are more chapters, support the author, support the original version read!)
