It is indeed a mirror.
The main hall where the coffins are placed has a round arched dome. The ancients regarded death as life.
Since the sky is round and the place is round, the ceiling of the tomb is naturally made into a dome shape, and many gemstones are used to form a complete four-season star map.
In this way, the ceiling is naturally filled with jewels, large and small, some of which can emit light by themselves, and others can reflect the light of the lamp, shining like a sky full of stars, dazzling at first glance.
In this way, the two bronze mirrors, which are only the size of a palm, are subtly hidden in the sky full of jewels.
If it weren't for Ji Thrush's dynamic vision bonus and the night vision goggles to block the strong flash, under the influence of the dazzling glare, it would be difficult for ordinary people to see clearly what was burning the paper figurine to ashes.
"Well, it's the mirror."
Ren Jianmo also agreed.
Two mirrors are hung on the north and south sides of the tomb respectively.
Anyone who understands star maps will know at a glance that the bronze mirror on the south side is where Sirius is, while the north side is where Tanlang is.
The bases that hold them are carefully designed, just like the corner mirrors that quarter thrushes often see in their original world to monitor the corner situation, the two mirrors hanging on the roof can reflect reflections from two opposite directions. In the situation of the entire tomb, the field of vision is superimposed on each other, and there are almost no dead ends.
"I'll put another paper figurine."
Ren Jianmo said, and took out the third paper figurine.
Ji Thrush nodded.
The third white fox jumped out.
This time, Ji Xiaoniao saw it clearly.
When the figure of the white fox was reflected on the two bronze mirrors at the same time, a strong light shot out from the mirrors, accompanied by a deafening bang, and pierced the target instantly. There is no residue left.
Ji Thrush: "..."
"how is it going!?"
Dong Jing repeatedly asked, "You two, have you seen clearly?"
Ji Thrush didn't answer right away.
He looked up at Ren Jianmo, and the word "Chuan" was formed between his brows.
"How do I feel..."
Ji Xiaoniao thought for a while, and still expressed his thoughts:
"How does this look like thunder and lightning?"
Ji Thrush itself is a master at using electricity.
According to his own experience, the fleeting speed, the huge energy that can instantly melt the copper skin, and the loud sound of piercing the clouds and cracking stones, don't they just look like lightning and thunder
In a "world" where cultivation and occult arts do exist, the most convenient thing is that the "natives" have an astonishingly high acceptance ability. Even if Ji Thrush's opinion sounds unbelievable, no one will categorically reject it .
On the contrary, Master Mingjun stroked his stubble-grown round chin, a pair of bright small eyes wandered back and forth on the two bronze mirrors, his brows were deeply furrowed, as if he was trying his best to find something out of his mind. A memory fragment related to this.
"correct!"
The fat monk suddenly slapped his thigh and shouted loudly:
"I see! That must be the legendary 'electric mother mirror'!"
Ji Thrush: "???"
Seeing Ji Xiaoniao's bewildered expression, Master Ming Jun had to spend a little time, and they did a popular science about the origins of these two mirrors.
In the legend of the Xia Kingdom, the thunder and lightning in the sky are controlled by a pair of gods, and the two are named Thunder God and Lightning Mother.
Lei Gong's name is Jiang Tianjun, he has sharp-billed monkey cheeks, a third eye between his eyebrows, a pair of wings on his back, and two feet that look like eagle claws. He holds the awl in his left hand and the hammer in his right. Every time he strikes thunder, he hits the awl with the hammer, making a loud "rumble".
The Mother of Lightning, named Xiutianjun, has a majestic and dignified fairy appearance, holding a mirror in each hand, and when the two mirrors face each other, lightning will be released.
Like other children, Ji Thrush had read "Journey to the West" in his childhood.
Although there is only a little vague memory left, I also vaguely remember that there is indeed a pair of Thunder God and Lightning Mother.
"You mean, those two bronze mirrors are the magic weapon of the Mother of Lightning?"
Ji Thrush is too old to believe in these myths, but in this "world" where Taoism and fairy arts are flying all over the sky, there is no need to worry about them.
"Exactly."
Master Ming Jun put his palms together and typed a Buddhist gatha.
"This imperial tomb was designed and supervised by Liu Shoufu himself. When the emperor was buried, he put several treasures into the tomb..."
As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed to the mirror on the dome:
"I remember, in the legend, there is this pair of electric mother mirrors."
"I see."
Ji Thrush nodded, humbly asking for advice:
"So, what should we do with these two mirrors?"
"this… "
Master Mingjun was stuck.
The electric mother mirror is a magic weapon of the gods in the sky. Although he is a Buddhist practitioner, he has some abilities, but if he has the level to deal with these two mirrors, he doesn't have to work hard to dig graves and run into the imperial mausoleum Want to steal a treasure or two.
"Little bird."
The second young master of the Dong family made a suggestion:
"Can your arrow shoot down the mirror?"
Ji Thrush looked up and observed carefully, and found it difficult.
Obviously, when installing the two mirrors, the designer carefully calculated their orientation and orientation, as well as the angle of their bases.
Outsiders stood in front of the screen wall. Although they could see the mirror, most of the mirror body was embedded in the base, and it was difficult to shoot them down from the ceiling with one or two arrows.
However, the material of these two mirrors is bronze, and sharp objects are not easy to break them like glass products.
However, Ji Thrush still made a longbow, condensed an arrow with electric energy, aimed at one of the bronze mirrors and shot it.
Just when everyone saw Ji Thrush let go of the bowstring, there was another loud bang.
But this time was different from the previous four times. What they saw was no longer a dazzling white light, but blue and white electric sparks splashing everywhere, passing across the center of the tomb like a dragon.
Of course, the copper mirror on the roof is intact.
"It doesn't seem to work."
Dong Jing sighed in frustration.
Only the second young master of the Dong family, who is capable of controlling corpses, has nothing to do in the face of such a situation.
He had no choice but to touch his nose resentfully, and suggested that he should not touch the coffin of the old emperor, and first go to the two side halls to see if he could find the tiger talisman.
In fact, Dong Jing himself knew that the possibility of the Tiger Talisman being on the Empress and Concubine was so small that it could be ignored.
Ren Jianmo remained silent.
He stared at the ceiling silently, thinking about how to get the two mirrors down.
——Lightning's speed is very fast, there is almost no place to stand on the side, and his ability is useless against dead objects...
Ren Jianmo's lips were slightly tightened, one hand was hanging by his side, and the fingers hidden under the sleeve were half curled into fists.
This is a rare situation that he finds troublesome, even more troublesome than facing a large group of ghost soldiers just now.
— Difficult, but not impossible.
Ren Jianmo thought to himself.
Along the way, he has encountered many extremely difficult tests, this is neither the most difficult nor the most dangerous one...
…
At this moment, someone gently tugged on his sleeve.
Ren Jianmo turned his head, it was indeed Ji Thrush.
"Let me do it."
Ji Xiaoniao grinned and showed a bright smile.
Ren Jianmo frowned, "What do you mean?"
"I'm an electrician, as you know."
Season Thrush replied:
"Maybe, the lightning in the mirror may not be able to do anything to me."
The second young master of the Dong family listened to him and immediately objected.
"That's the magic weapon of the Mother of Lightning!"
The boy yelled:
"You saw it just now, just one touch, it's so hot that even brass will melt into water! Don't be desperate!"
Although Dong Jing really wanted to get the remains of tens of thousands of soldiers, after getting along these days, he had already regarded Ji Thrush as his friend and brother, so he naturally didn't want to watch him take risks, let alone go to die in vain.
Regarding the kind persuasion from the second young master of the Dong family, Ji Thrush just smiled at the other party, then turned to look at Ren Jianmo, "You know, I can do it, right?"
Ren Jianmo's brows furrowed even deeper.
He remembered that Ji Thrush did mention to him before that during the six months when he lost his memory, in a certain "world", they once entered another Xiaoqian world and dealt with a black dragon in it , that black flood dragon has already cultivated the power of flying clouds and spreading rain, and struck the curly-haired boy in front of him with lightning.
At that time, he only listened to the story and didn't feel half of the truth, and he was not sure how much exaggeration was in it.
But if this is really used as evidence, he believes that Ji Thrush may be able to resist the power of the electric mother mirror...
"Let me try."
Ji Thrush repeated this sentence again, with a more determined tone.
His hand slipped down Ren Jianmo's cuff and grabbed the other's hand without any force, just gently hooking Ren Jianmo's half-curled fingers.
There was a hint of sweetness in Ji Xiaoniao's heart.
The two have known each other for a long time, and he has already figured out the small details of the other party that he may not have noticed.
For example, Ren Damei of his family will unconsciously purse her lips when thinking, and subconsciously curl her fingers slightly when she feels nervous.
Now that Ren Jianmo clenched his fist again, Ji Thrush was very sure that it was because - he was worried about himself.
Ji Xiaoniao did not guess wrong.
Ren Jianmo was worried.
Although he didn't want to admit it, this curly-haired kid who claimed to be his boyfriend and insisted on following him into this "world" had unconsciously opened his heart that had been frozen for many years.
Obviously not long ago he kept saying "I won't care about you", but when it came time to take risks, Ren Jianmo couldn't help but feel worried and anxious, and even wanted to replace it with himself, so as not to be so anxious .
Seeing that the other party's expression was still not the slightest bit loose, Ji Thrush simply stood on tiptoe, leaned into Ren Jianmo's ear, and said in a low voice:
"This is a 'world' with SS level difficulty."
He rolled his eyes and smiled brightly.
"If I can't even handle these two mirrors, isn't there only a dead end?"
The hand that Ren Jianmo held with Ji Thrush trembled slightly.
-yes.
—If he doesn’t have the strength to clear this “world”…
- then after that...
After that, how did he face the real "inside story" of "Peach Blossom Spring"
