Chapter 003: The Demon-Subduing Treasure Mirror 1
Indeed. I naturally inherited all of my master's possessions. To be honest, we, the master and I, are essentially grave robbers, and the so-called possessions are merely stolen goods taken from the graves of others. This includes two antique shops in Beijing, which have also become my property. While I cannot claim to be a wealthy individual, I can at least be considered middle class. However, that strange dream clings to me like a shadow. I have tried every possible means to shake off that shadow, but to no avail. Thus, I resolved to come to this place to dig and see what peculiarities lie beneath Wolf Mountain. It is said that this area is a well-known impoverished mining region of the Yinshan Mountains, so I smoothly obtained the mining rights. Oddly enough, ever since I started mining here, I have not had that strange dream again. It was then that I realized that the strange dream was a message from my master, who has a spirit underground, entrusted to me.
Today I can break this silence; if I do not speak out now, I fear I may never have the chance again. It is said that this is the script used by the ancient Mo Kingdom, which has long since disappeared. My master once discovered an ancient Mo stele, covered with bizarre and strange Mo characters. He treasured the inscription like a precious gem, studying those ancient ghostly writings day and night. One night, my master excitedly told me that he had deciphered the content of the inscription and asked me to take notes. However, just as he was about to say more, he suddenly appeared possessed, his face filled with terror, his eyes fixed on the stele. Before I could comprehend what was happening, my master crashed his head against the stele, bleeding profusely. On the way to the hospital, he passed away. The next day, I remembered that stele. I entered my master's underground treasure room, and at first glance, I saw the stele leaning against the wall. The area stained with my master's blood clearly revealed the outline of a human head, the face appearing mangled and bloody, like that of a skinned person. Out of fear and some kind of taboo, I buried the stele back in the place where I found it.
However, I know nothing about this bronze mirror
I turned on the light and saw Muthu drenched in sweat, his calves trembling.
Mutu looked at Boss Qin in surprise: "Is the bronze mirror I brought out from the cave yesterday related to the dream you had?"
Mutu became an orphan at a young age. With the support of the villagers, he completed junior high school; when Mutu was serving in the military in Hunan, I happened to be studying at university at the foot of Yuelu Mountain in Changsha. After his demobilization, he went to work in the mine at the foot of Lang Mountain. Although working in the mine is very dangerous, the earnings are substantial. During my years studying at university in the south, Mutu helped me out quite a bit, and to this day, I still owe him over 20,000 yuan
After Mutu returned home, he placed the bronze mirror on the windowsill of his room. One day, while cleaning the dust off the windowsill, he noticed that there were water and * picture * book stains where the bronze mirror was placed. At that moment, Mutu did not pay much attention and casually wiped it with a tissue. It was only after he wiped it that Mutu realized that what was on the windowsill was not water at all, but a pool of blood
Where did the blood on the windowsill come from? Mu Tu was puzzled, but he did not dwell on it and soon pushed the matter to the back of his mind
Indeed. The mirror you have is exactly the same as the hexagonal copper mirror I repeatedly saw in my dreams, even the three characters on the back are identical. My master said in the dream that those three characters are: "Expel Great Evil!" You must be wondering why I didn't come earlier or later, but chose to come to the mine just yesterday. That is because the night before, I had an unprecedented new dream, in which I no longer saw the old dream, but instead dreamed that someone had dug through the underground chamber and obtained the precious mirror inside.
The reason Mutu shared these matters with me is twofold: first, m.hetushu.com has been a part of my life since childhood, as Mutu and I grew up together, our families being neighbors, and we share almost everything; second, Mutu has made a terrifying discovery: that bronze mirror is somewhat eerie
After Mutu listened to Boss Qin's words, he felt a tingling sensation on his scalp: "If you were useful, Boss, I would have given you the bronze mirror."
With a loud bang, Mutu burst open my door. At that moment, I thought a thief had broken into my home, and my scalp nearly exploded. As soon as Mutu entered the room, he gasped and said: "Qian Ge, there are ghosts in my room, really, it's terrifying"
Mutu shook his head: "Isn't there a rule from the boss that prohibits us from discussing those matters in the mine"
What is going on? What has scared you like this? No, you are someone who has faced gunfire, so please do not put pressure on me here
Is this the reason the boss wants to open a mine in this place? Mutu timidly asked
After working for four years at Langshan, in addition to earning over 100,000 yuan in wages, Mutu also received a considerable severance pay. However, no one knows that Mutu possesses a mysterious Chengwang Town palace treasure mirror.
This time, Muthu was truly frightened, bursting through the door and running all the way to my house in one breath
The third day remains the same
Two days later, Boss Qin generously compensated the families of the victims buried in the mine, destroyed the six-hundred-meter mine, dismissed the miners, and drove away.
In this world, there are countless mysteries that we cannot unravel with conventional thinking. Ten years ago, I sought out renowned doctors, visited temples to burn incense, and donated money at monasteries, all with a heart set on goodness. My aim was to free myself from that strange dream as soon as possible. Now that I have been liberated, my heart is at peace. I will fulfill the promise I made before the Buddha: to donate all my possessions, to wholeheartedly face the Buddha, and to take refuge in the Pure Land. As for that precious mirror in this world, it must hold some profound secrets. I hope you will use the precious mirror in your hand wisely and not go against the will of heaven
However, the next day, he saw another pool of blood on the windowsill
Our two families live in a connected house, and from the roof of Mutu's house, one can access the roof of my main house. By following the ladder, one can descend into my yard. There is only a brick wall separating the two families. In northern rural areas, such connected houses are quite common
It seems that it is no longer needed. Because last night, I dreamt of my master again. He conveyed to me in the dream: "The one who obtains the town's precious mirror must be a person of great fortune; if the precious mirror falls into the world, it will bring disaster. Only that person of great fortune can return the mirror to its rightful place."
At this point, Mutu felt a bit anxious. A pool of blood had inexplicably appeared on the windowsill, and unable to ascertain its origin, Mutu decided to be cautious: on the night of the fourth day, he thoroughly cleaned the windowsill and the copper mirror, and made sure to close the window tightly, pretending to lie in bed and sleep. ... He lay there until around 2 a.m. without hearing any sounds, then turned on the light to look at the window: Oh my goodness, there was another pool of blood on the windowsill.
