"Brother Qing, something really happened!" Lin Haitao exclaimed.
Tian Tian was also surprised and said: "Yeah, I didn't expect this to happen again!"
He Qing smiled and said, "Am I right? This is a bronze mirror from the Han Dynasty. It has a history of more than two thousand years. It has a very long history."
"Well, now I am sure that this bronze mirror is from the Western Han Dynasty." Lin Haitao nodded solemnly, "I was suspicious just now because I didn't see the inscription. Now it's so obvious, what else is there to be doubtful about?
?This is undoubtedly an ancient bronze mirror from the Han Dynasty, and it has a greater origin than ordinary bronze mirrors from the same period."
Tian Tian asked: "He Qing, how could this happen? I have never seen such a magical thing!"
He Qing shook his head and said: "Why it is like this, I can't tell you the specifics. It may be a craft, but this skill has been lost. Now it is difficult to achieve this effect on metal utensils.
"
"Well, yes, I have never seen such a situation with modern bronzes." Tian Tian nodded vigorously.
While they were discussing, they stared intently at the bronze mirror illuminated by the light. The bright light shone on the mirror, and they saw eight golden and bronze characters faintly visible on it, saying, "See the light of the sun, and the world will be bright."
”.
That was obviously the inscription that Lin Haitao was after. It turned out that it was not that there was no inscription on the bronze mirror, but that the inscription was hidden so deeply that ordinary eyesight could not see it at all.
If he couldn't see the ins and outs of things through his divine eyes, then He Qing would never be able to figure it out and wouldn't know what the inscription is about.
"Brother Qing, what does the inscription on it, 'See the light of the sun, the world will be bright', mean?" Lin Haitao asked curiously.
He Qing replied: "It shouldn't have any special meaning. 'The light of seeing the sun' is the name of a kind of bronze mirror at that time. It is also called a translucent mirror. The mirror surface is slightly convex. When parallel light shines on the mirror surface, the reflection of the mirror surface
By projecting the image, the same image as the words and patterns on the back of the mirror will appear. I think the hidden words on it can be revealed under light by using the principle of a translucent mirror, but it is made more delicate and magical."
"So that's what it is!" Lin Haitao suddenly realized.
Tian Tian also nodded secretly, expressing his approval of He Qing's statement.
The other party has profound eyesight and is a great appraiser who hides his secrets. Naturally, what he said is well-founded. Those who believe him will not be wrong.
Lin Haitao said again: "This bronze mirror is so magical, it must be very valuable!"
He Qing said: "It's hard to say whether it's valuable or not. But one thing is for sure, it is of great value for collection and cultural relic research."
Tian Tianyan smiled and said: "Isn't it enough to have this? Are antiques about collection value? Things with collectible value will naturally have a market."
"That's true." Lin Haitao nodded in agreement.
He Qing smiled slightly and said: "Haitao, Miss Tian, do you know the purpose of this bronze mirror?"
Tian Tian asked back: "Isn't the bronze mirror used to reflect people?"
"No!" He Qing shook his head and said seriously, "This bronze mirror is not used to illuminate people. It is used to illuminate monsters."
"Take a look at the monster?!"
Hearing He Qing's serious words, Lin Haitao and Tian Tian were shocked.
"Used to take photos of monsters?!" Lin Haitao looked at He Qing with wide eyes, a look of confusion on his face.
Tian Tian was also surprised. The bronze mirror was not used to shine on people, but on monsters. What was going on?
"Yes, it's used to look at monsters." He Qing nodded heavily. "This is the legendary 'demon mirror'. You may have only heard of it on TV and mythological novels, but this is not the kind of monster mirror you know.
But it is used for other purposes.”
"What else is it used for?" Tian Tian asked hurriedly. When she heard this, she and Lin Haitao became even more curious. They just wanted to find out what the "demon mirror" He Qing mentioned was the origin of.
He Qing said eloquently: "It is actually a kind of dark instrument, which is placed on the head of the owner of the ancient tomb to reflect everything outside. Therefore, it can be said to be a kind of 'demon mirror' in ancient times!"
"So, then this bronze mirror was unearthed?!" Tian Tian suddenly said.
"Well, yes, but it is not a special cultural relic. The cultural relics department can collect it or not." He Qing nodded.
Now that the matter has come to this, he doesn't have to hide anything from Tian Tian. Anyway, the other party is also in this industry, so he doesn't believe that she has never seen unearthed cultural relics in the market and has bought and sold such things.
"Yeah." Tian Tian nodded and said nothing.
Lin Haitao asked: "Brother Qing, since this is a ghost weapon, isn't it an ominous thing? Wouldn't it be unlucky to store it? What's more, it is placed at the head of the tomb owner."
When they thought that this magical bronze mirror in front of them had been taken out of an ancient tomb and placed on the head of a dead body, Lin Haitao and the two of them felt a chill and a vaguely creepy feeling.
He Qing smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Haitao, are you overthinking it? This bronze mirror is actually the same as ordinary unearthed cultural relics. Aren't many things sold on the market and things in museums like this?
?It is also used for trading and exhibition. In fact, this bronze mirror not only has no ominous atmosphere, but can be used as a mascot."
"Can it be used as something auspicious?" Lin Haitao said doubtfully, "Isn't it? How can this be used as something auspicious?"
He Qing replied: "It's used as a Feng Shui instrument. The 'demon mirror' is a treasure that protects tombs and resists the invasion of evil spirits. If it is used as a Feng Shui instrument, it will have the same effect. It can exorcise demons and suppress evil spirits. Wouldn't it be wonderful?"
"
"Yes, it can be used to make utensils." Tian Tian nodded and said, "Feng shui instruments are very valuable now. The older the aura, the stronger the aura, the more valuable it is. This bronze mirror is more than two thousand years old.
It’s history, it’s so ancient, if it can be used to make a Feng Shui instrument, it would be really valuable!”
He Qing said in a deep voice: "Yes, so this bronze mirror is not an ordinary bronze mirror from the Han Dynasty, but an antique with the value of a magical instrument and has dual value."
"He Qing, you are so awesome, I really admire you!" Tian Tian said with a smile, "What seems ordinary to others has become such a big treasure in your hands!"
Lin Haitao also praised: "Isn't that right? This time Brother Qing found another big treasure, a big leak. Brother Qing, you didn't spend much money to buy this bronze mirror from Xiaoyi and the others, right?"
"
"Not much." He Qing nodded. In fact, except for the 500,000 yuan to support Xiaoyi, he didn't spend a penny. He got it for free from Brother Ding and the others.
Even if you include the 500,000 yuan donated to Xiaoyi, it is undoubtedly a huge profit. Just two pieces of ancient jade are not worth the price.
After the three of them discussed the magical "demon mirror" in the room for a while, He Qing took Lin Haitao and Tian Tian out, and the three of them had supper in the restaurant.
After eating, He Qing and the two said goodbye to Tian Tian and returned to the guest room.
"Brother Qing, Xiaoyi and the others turned out to be tomb robbers!"
After entering the room, Lin Haitao whispered.
"Haitao, can you tell?" He Qing did not deny it. He naturally had no need to hide it in front of his inseparable friend Lin Haitao.
Lin Haitao's old face turned red and he said with some embarrassment: "If you hadn't pointed it out, I wouldn't have noticed it yet."
He Qing said: "Actually, if you look carefully, it is easier to see that there is a light earthy color on those antiques. Coupled with the characteristics of the things, it would be strange if they are not unearthed cultural relics. But since they are not special cultural relics, it is not
It’s obvious that it can be used as a folk collection.”
"Well, I didn't see clearly." Lin Haitao replied, "The key is that my eyesight is not good enough, so I can't see anything."
"It's okay, take your time." He Qing comforted.
Lin Haitao said happily: "Following you, my vision will become better sooner or later."
"Beep, beep, beep, beep..."
Just as he was talking, the cell phone in He Qing's pocket rang.
Hearing the sound, He Qing immediately took out his mobile phone from his pocket to answer the call.
When he received the call, he had a satisfied smile on his face.
"Brother Qing, is it Sister Qingqing who called you?" Seeing He Qing's happy look after answering the phone, Lin Haitao couldn't help but ask.
He Qing shook his head and said: "It's not Qingqing."
"Who is that?" Lin Haitao asked curiously.
He Qing said: "It's a friend. You will know when the time comes. Haitao, let's set off."
"Start? Where to go?" Lin Haitao asked in surprise.
He Qing said: "You will know if you follow me."
"Are you going out now?" Lin Haitao asked.
"Yes, go out now." He Qing nodded and said, "Just follow me. We'll talk about it when we get there."
"Okay." He Qing was mysterious and didn't tell him the purpose of going out now. Lin Haitao didn't ask any more questions and just agreed. Anyway, following him would not cause any bad things, only good things.
At that moment, the two quietly left the guest room and walked out of the hotel.
After walking out of the hotel gate, He Qing drove Lin Haitao toward the northwest.
After a while, the car drove out of the city and came to the suburbs.
"Brother Qing, what are you doing here?" Lin Haitao said through the intercom, "Isn't this the place we visited not long ago? Are you still here? Do Xiaoyi and the others have anything to trade with you?"
He Qing replied: "Well, I am going to that place, but not to make a deal with Xiaoyi and the others, but to look for something."
"Looking for something? What is it?" Lin Haitao asked repeatedly.
He Qing replied: "You will know when you get there."
After a while, the car drove to the place where He Qing, Xiaoyi and the others were discussing the deal.
He Qing was extremely excited at this moment, because no one except him knew that there were a batch of treasures on the mountain waiting for him to get them.
