Facing the Buddha's eyes, Wu Younan nodded and shook her head: "you won't tell me, this is your secret..."
The Buddha smiled freely and unexpectedly said, "it's just an object. What's the secret? If you want to know, it's OK to tell you. The name of this mirror is zhaogubao..."
Wu Younan felt a little surprised. It seemed that the Buddha would easily tell her.
In recent contact, the Buddha told her a lot of things, but it didn't matter. He hid important secrets. When it came to the key, he laughed but didn't say anything, worried about revealing his identity.
Similarly, Buddha abides by his promise and treats her not like a prisoner, but more like a younger generation. It's good to take care of her around. Even in danger, he keeps her behind.
Wu Youlan is very clear that the Buddha's attitude towards her depends on Lin Xi, which makes her more curious about the relationship between Buddha and Lin Xi.
Now her attention is all on the zhaogubao. She looks thoughtful and says her name: "zhaogubao, what a strange name. It's clearly a mirror..."
The Buddha was very patient and explained: "strictly speaking, zhaogubao is its real name, and it also has a name that you may not be unfamiliar with. It is called King Qin zhaogujing..."
Wu Younan frowned. It seemed that she had heard of the name, but she couldn't remember it for a moment.
The Buddha solved her doubts and said: "it is said that Qin Shihuang swept through Liuhe and unified the world. In this process, he obtained many secret weapons of the six countries, including eight ancient mirrors..."
"Those eight ancient mirrors are demon mirror, which can shine on ghosts and ghosts without being invisible; sea fixing mirror, which can shine on strange fish in the sea and all reefs; epidemic mirror, which can cure people and malaria, which can ward off ghosts; third mirror, which can see previous and future generations and the current appearance; grinding mirror stone, which can see the face is not old; and sky opening mirror, which is a huge stone mirror, which can travel through time and space; return mirror, which can reorganize the sun and moon Heaven and earth, as well as the last bone shining treasure, can learn from the internal organs, muscles and bones
After being reminded by the Buddha, Wu Younan finally remembered where she had heard the king of Qin's bone mirror.
When she was young, she listened to the old man tell the story of Meng Jiangnu crying on the Great Wall. Among them, there was a bone mirror of the king of Qin and a mountain and sea whip. She always thought that it was just a fairy tale. Unexpectedly, it really existed.
Although she has entered the myth, it is not easy for her to be surprised that the myth shines into reality again.
For a moment, he lost his mind and said, "it turns out that all myths are reality..."
The Buddha was slightly surprised. He didn't expect that she had such insight. However, when the Buddha thought that the reason why he could capture Wu Younan was that the sky vision that night was related to the green light that landed, and obviously related to mythology. It proved that she had experienced mythology and seen mythology, so she was no longer surprised.
The Buddha continued: "before the pre Qin Dynasty, there were many artifacts, which were not groundless, but most of them died out for some reasons. Of course, the origin of King Qin's bone mirror is not the legendary secret treasure of the six countries, but another origin..."
Wu Younan looked at zhaogubao, his eyes flickering and said curiously, "what's the origin..."
The Buddha didn't answer in a hurry, but looked at his companions, just a look. The companions understood it, automatically retreated to the distance, closed their eyes, sealed their hearing, and avoided hearing what they shouldn't hear.
Some secrets can't be heard easily even by them, so as to avoid the risk of leakage.
Without outsiders, The Buddha just said, "the real origin of zhaogubao was during the southern tour of Qin Shihuang. On the way, I saw someone salvage a floating corpse on the beach. The floating corpse was an old man. He was tall and different from ordinary people. He had a good face, long beard over his chest, white and moist skin, firm as iron, wearing the clothes of ancient kings. I don't know how long he floated, let alone the cause and origin of his death..."
"It's strange that the floating corpse looks like a raw face, and there is no sign of being soaked. A sea breeze blows, and the floating corpse's men and women move. They are just like the living people. The zhaogubao is in the floating corpse's arms..."
"Qin Shihuang thought that floating corpses were the remains of immortals in the sea and should be sacrificed in order to give immortality medicine to immortals, but others held the opposite view and thought it was an ominous omen..."
"As we all know, Qin Shihuang has always been superstitious about cultivating immortals and refining pills. There are many alchemists under him. The alchemists believe that floating corpses are ancient zombies, which are demonized and float out of the sea eye. Seeing that they are already ominous, why do you worship and ask for medicine..."
"Then they said, where has this matter been seen, where has it been recorded, and how to deal with it is the safe way to avoid disaster..."
Wu Younan listened attentively and asked, "what happened later..."
The Buddha said softly, "in those days, the greatest skill of the alchemist was to be able to speak wisely and say what was dead as gain. Although Qin Shihuang was not soft hearted, he couldn't stand it. They would say it as if it were true. In addition, he was convinced of the mysterious and mysterious things. He was worried about the threat of national subjugation, so he listened to the advice of the alchemist
"Because the floating corpse came from a strange origin and was suspected to be a zombie, it could not be used for firewood, fire, knife and axe, but could only be hidden in the cave, so 30000 prisoners were ordered to chisel through a barren mountain and bury the corpse. A bronze beast was cast and pressed on the floating corpse to suppress the mountain. It was embedded in the beast's head with a bone treasure to suppress it forever..."
Wu Younan once heard Lin Xi say that during the Qin and Han Dynasties, it was generally believed that bronze mirrors could suppress zombies, and people at that time often looked at the mirror to see whether their makeup was serious and whether their clothes and hats were neatly dressed. If there were defects, they should be corrected immediately. Therefore, bronze mirrors are the representative of "positive". One positive pressure hundred evils, and the mirror also represents "Yang", It is a symbol of the day and a deterrent to "Yin".
The use of zhaogubao to suppress floating corpses is indeed targeted. The zhaogubao in the arms of floating corpses should have a similar effect.
This is the end of the story. The Buddha continued: "shortly after the floating corpse was buried, Qin Shihuang died on the way. Where the bone treasure was buried has become an eternal mystery..."
"Until the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, someone was picking herbs on the mountain. Suddenly, in the air, there were five dragons fighting around a hill. Finally, all the five dragons died, and the dragon's body fell from the sky. However, there was no dead dragon where the Dragon fell, only a big ditch opened on the ground..."
"When the medicine collector was alarmed, he told others about it. Everyone rushed to see it. There was a huge thing creeping out in the ditch. Everyone was shocked. They thought there was a mountain ghost, so they set fire to it..."
