After Chen Mengsheng heard about Mrs. Wen getting a bronze mirror in Jiangzhou, he couldn't help but secretly be surprised that a small bronze mirror could actually hide a female ghost. Now even Miss Su's family has disappeared mysteriously, and he uses his hands to kill Mrs. Wen's soul.
He returned to the body orifice. He saluted and bowed and said, "Mrs. Wen is frightened. If you want to save Miss Qing'er, I hope you will take us to find the bronze mirror."
Mrs. Wen saw Chen Mengsheng's solemn expression. After thinking about it, she hesitated and said: "This matter is all wrong because I failed to listen to the words of the old man fishing on the bridge, so I let Qing'er go home with the bronze mirror to attract ghosts into the house.
Today I first heard that the great changes in my family's house were all due to my unintentional mistakes. I hid the bronze mirror under the willow tree in a panic. Sir, please follow me..."
Chen Mengsheng and the other four quietly followed Mrs. Wen to the willow tree in the courtyard. The heavy rain began to gradually stop. Mrs. Wen pointed to the foot of a big willow tree and said, "The bronze mirror is buried here. You can take it."
Yes." Chen Mengsheng held the magic ruler in his hand and gently moved the loose soil, and soon he dug out a bronze mirror wrapped in silk handkerchief.
As soon as Chen Mengsheng stretched out his hand and touched the bronze mirror, he felt a biting coldness. He knew that there must be something strange inside the bronze mirror. He stood up and said to Wen Su'e: "Mrs. Wen, it's getting late. You'd better go back to your room to rest first. There's something big in this bronze mirror."
There is an article, please check it carefully when I go back..." After Chen Mengsheng and others said goodbye to Mrs. Wen, they returned to the guest room with the bronze mirror. Xiang Xiaotian held the one-foot-square bronze mirror, and his eyes almost bled from staring at it.
Still can't see anything wrong.
Qi Ying said with a smile: "Bronze mirrors have been a must-have item for women's boudoirs since bronze was cast during the Warring States Period. During the Warring States, Han, Sui and Tang Dynasties, bronze mirrors were the most exquisitely made. However, during the years of war in the Song Dynasty, the bronze mirrors became even more beautiful.
A period of decline. Among the bronze mirrors of the Warring States Period, there was a kind of bronze mirror with a dark surface and a translucent surface that seemed to be coated with a thick layer of black paint, which was called ancient black paint. In the Han Dynasty, craftsmen added lead and tin through constant exploration, so that the mirror could reflect
Green-brown light. Later, craftsmen in the Tang Dynasty increased the proportion of lead and tin to make the bronze mirror silver-white. The bronze mirror in your hand, Xiaotian, is dark yellow. Although it is exquisitely made, it is also mottled.
Patina. If my guess is correct, the age of this bronze mirror is not that long ago, it should be one hundred and eighty years old!"
Xiang Xiaotian laughed and said: "Brothers, girls, you all listen, how knowledgeable my wife is. She can know so much just with this broken bronze mirror! She is much more capable than you, girl."
Qi Ying said in embarrassment: "Don't come here to put money on my face. Brother Chen and Miss Shangguan are both well-informed people. What you say is not ridiculous!"
Chen Mengsheng took Xiang Xiaotian's bronze mirror and said to Qi Ying: "Sister-in-law is too modest. I really don't know much about women's use of objects. Does sister-in-law know that there are female ghosts hidden in bronze mirrors?"
Qi Ying nodded and said: "The bronze mirror hides ghosts. When I was in Huizhou, I only heard people talk about killing people hiding in the mirror under the moon. But I have never actually seen it, so I can't be sure that the bronze mirror hides ghosts."
Is it true?"
Shangguan Yanran smiled and said: "I have also heard of what Sister Xianglan said about cutting off the shadow under the moon. It is said that the Second Master Guan's Qinglong Yanyue Sword fell to the ground and cut off the shadow of Diao Chan. Diao Chan fell to the ground and died, a peerless generation.
The beautiful lady has passed away since then. However, I have never heard of the person hiding in the mirror, and I hope Sister Xianglan will tell her without hesitation."
Qi Ying smiled slightly and said: "Those are just folk legends. Sister Shangguan doesn't have to believe them all. I heard a storyteller from Huizhou once told that when Emperor Ming of the Tang Dynasty was in power, An Lushan and Yang Yuhuan were playing in the Imperial Garden.
But when the palace maid heard that the emperor was coming, An Lushan hurriedly hid in the bronze mirror and escaped..."
Chen Mengsheng wondered: "I did encounter a soul-capturing mirror a few years ago, but it's unknown how a living person hid in a bronze mirror."
Shangguan Yanran took the oil lamp, picked up the front and back of the bronze mirror, looked at it and said, "On the back of this bronze mirror is the Chinese character Yuying in cursive, huh? Meng Sheng, why are there three beauties floating on the back of this bronze mirror?"
"What a huge splash of water..." Shangguan Yanran was about to fall back in a daze, but the bronze mirror let go and fell to the ground.
"Yanran, Yanran, what's wrong with you?" Chen Mengsheng jumped up nervously and hugged Shangguan Yanran who was about to fall to the ground. Shangguan Yanran's eyes were blurred and her face was full of numbness.
Chen Mengsheng put his hand on Shangguan Yanran's back and injected the spirit of Buddhism into it. Shangguan Yanran slowly regained consciousness after a cup of tea. "Yanran, what did you see?"
"I...I don't know. I saw the water suddenly appear on the surface of the bronze mirror. The water got bigger and bigger, turning into a turbulent vortex, and it seemed like I was about to be sucked into it..."
Xiang Xiaotian picked up the bronze mirror and muttered: "What nonsense are you talking about? I can't see the water? What's engraved on the back of other people's bronze mirrors are flying dragons, phoenixes, flowers, birds, fish and insects. It's good, it's engraved
Two small characters with ghostly characters, hey! Brother, what Mrs. Wen said is wrong, look, there are three beauties?"
Xiang Xiaotian handed the bronze mirror to Chen Mengsheng. Under the light of the lights, there were two small characters written in cursive on the back of the bronze mirror. It was really difficult to see clearly without looking carefully. Above the small characters, you could vaguely see a
The woman playing the pipa with her head lowered, and next to the woman playing the pipa, there was a woman with a resentful face combing her long hair. The woman at the bottom was staring in trance. Chen Mengsheng exclaimed: "She is the one I saw in the embroidery building.
Su Zhaoqing, a woman in blue who lived in the past..."
Shangguan Yanran said: "Only when we understand the meaning of the word Yuying can we know the origin of the female ghost in this bronze mirror, right?"
"Sister Shangguan, most of these engraved bronze mirrors are love objects for lovers, so they are also called lovesickness mirrors. I guess Yuying is the owner of this bronze mirror. There are so many people named Yuying in the sea of people, let alone
How can we investigate after so many years?"
Xiang Xiaotian touched the bronze mirror and said, "Let's stop guessing. It's more serious to let my brother catch the female ghost in the bronze mirror and rescue Miss Su's family."
Chen Mengsheng sighed: "Brother, I don't know how to get into the bronze mirror now. It's not easy to catch the female ghost. It's almost the third day, everyone should go to rest. I'll wait here for the female ghost to come out.
Waiting for an opportunity to surrender to her."
Xiang Xiaotian knew that Chen Mengsheng did not want everyone to be hurt by the female ghost, so he decided to stay alone in the hall and wait for the female ghost to appear. "Brother, you can't fight a tiger without your brothers. Although I can't see the female ghost, but..."
Shangguan Yanran pushed Xiang Xiaotian and said, "Don't worry, I'll stay with Meng Sheng. You and your sister-in-law go back to rest quickly. I can help keep an eye on Meng Sheng, so don't worry."
Xiang Xiaotian and Qi Ying were persuaded by Shangguan Yanran to go back to the room, and the bronze mirror was placed on the table. Chen Mengsheng and Shangguan Yanran were explaining the Taoism while watching the movement of the bronze mirror. The sound of a knock on the clock was heard outside the Su Mansion.
Chen Mengsheng hissed and blew out the oil lamp and said softly: "Yanran, it's midnight and the female ghost in the bronze mirror should come out. No matter what you see in a while, close your eyes to avoid being frightened by the female ghost."
"Well, I understand. Mengsheng, you don't have to worry about me, I can take care of myself." Shangguan Yanran leaned on Chen Mengsheng and replied.
There was silence in the guest room until the bronze mirror on the table shook. There were layers of ripples on the smooth mirror surface. In the dim light, Chen Mengsheng and Shangguan Yanran both felt the waves floating in the bronze mirror.
Black energy. Black energy### appeared a female ghost with heavy makeup and long hair hanging down around her waist. The female ghost also noticed Chen Mengsheng and Shangguan Yanran in the room.
"Ho ho... You are resenting a stupid man and a woman again. What is there to love about men in this world? You are still an earthly immortal, but you are so stupid! Ho ho..." The female ghost smiled sadly at Shangguan Yanran.
Chen Mengsheng angrily scolded: "Who are you? How dare you return your trousseau to the bronze mirror to harm others? Please let Miss Su go immediately. You will avoid the pain of being torn apart!"
"Ho ho..., ho ho... What does that woman have to do with me because she entered the mirror by herself? At this time, she is playing the piano and having a heart-to-heart talk with her teacher. Who are you?"
Chen Mengsheng held up the thunder lantern in his hand and shouted: "I am here to subjugate you evildoers!" The fire flashed and thunder shot the female ghost away.
The female ghost laughed wildly and her head suddenly split into two parts, escaping Chen Mengsheng's Yin Thunder Fire. Her head was disheveled and flew towards Chen Mengsheng. Chen Mengsheng snorted coldly and shouted: "The evil ghost who overestimates his capabilities, I wanted to save him."
You six reincarnations are caused by your ignorance!" Chen Mengsheng flipped the fire ring with his hand and was about to smash the head of the flying female ghost. A look of despair suddenly appeared in the female ghost's eyes...
"Brother, please wait a minute. I know who this female ghost is, she is Xie Yuying!" As soon as Shangguan Yanran finished speaking, one of the female ghosts in the hall looked at Shangguan Yanran in surprise. Chen Mengsheng's fire ring was forced.
After being taken back, he looked at Shangguan Yanran in shock...
The female ghost shouted: "Little girl, how did you know that my name is Xie Yuying? You... who are you?"
Shangguan Yanran said with a smile: "I won't tell you who I am. You just said that Miss Su's daughter and her master were playing the piano and chatting. The bronze mirror was engraved with the word "Yuying", and the master who played the piano played "Yulin"
"Bell" is played so soul-stirringly and soul-stirringly, it must be Master Chen without a doubt."
The female ghost said sadly: "I didn't expect anyone in the world would remember us sisters. Girl, you are right. I am Xie Yuying. The one who played the pipa is also Chen Shishi. After a hundred years of vicissitudes, Qilang is no longer here. How can I become a heartbroken man?
After seeing the ghost in the mirror, all the sadness of parting will never be gone."
Shangguan Yanran sighed and said: "The deceased is dead, why do you want to take Miss Su's life? Release her quickly and reunite with her family. Every good deed will be rewarded."
"Ho ho..., ho ho..., the Miss Su family also suffered from lovesickness, so she entered this lovesick mirror. It is not within our reach to get her out, and her heart disease still needs heart medicine. And
Asking what love is in the world, it makes us agree between life and death..." As Xie Yuying spoke, her body turned into black energy, and she hurriedly got into the bronze mirror and disappeared.
Chen Mengsheng stepped forward and reached out to grab the black energy, but was blocked by the bronze mirror. He turned around and asked, "Yanran, who is that female ghost?"
Shangguan Yanran smiled bitterly and said: "She is also a hard-luck person. During the reign of Emperor Renzong of the Song Dynasty, there was a romantic and talented man whose original name was Liu Sanbian, and later changed his name to Liu Yongjia Xingqi. Because of this, he changed from pursuing fame to becoming tired of officialdom and indulged in indulgence.
Yu was in the bustling Fireworks Willow Alley. He was so poor that he couldn't even afford a coffin when he died, but the Fireworks woman gave him the money to bury him. Xie Yuying was originally a famous prostitute in Jiangzhou, but it happened that Liu Sanbian was still in office after taking office.
Hang got to know her."
Chen Mengsheng said thoughtfully: "Then what does Master Chen do? Why are their souls trapped in the bronze mirror? How can I save Miss Su's family when they are with them?"
"Haha, I don't know about senior brother's rescue, but there is a heart-stirring story between Xie Yuying, Master Chen and Liu Yong. Senior brother, please sit down and listen to me slowly tell you..."
