Chapter 494 Bronze Mirror
Author: Su Qingshan
When he learned that these people in front of him had just rescued his granddaughter not long ago, the old man's attitude immediately became enthusiastic and he was no longer afraid of the appearance of Bajie and the others.
In order to express his gratitude, the old man brought a black package from the house. After opening it, it turned out to be an ancient bronze mirror.
Except for some wear on the edges, the rest is in good condition.
According to the old man's story, this ancient bronze mirror was passed down from their ancestors, but they can't remember the exact year. The old man didn't have anything valuable at home, so he gave this ancient bronze mirror to Monk Tang as a gift to him.
Thanks for saving my granddaughter.
Tang Monk naturally refused to accept this. As a monk, how could he accept other people's money and treasures?
Seeing that Tang Monk was unwilling to accept it, the old man sighed helplessly and said, "The elder doesn't know something. If this mirror continues to be placed here, I'm afraid it will cause a big disaster before long."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was surprised.
"Old man, what does this mean?" Tang Seng asked.
The old man pondered for a moment and then told the whole story.
It turns out that this place belongs to the Tianchi Kingdom, and more than ten miles to the west is the main city of the Tianchi Kingdom. Originally, the mother-in-law and the sun lived an isolated life at the foot of the mountain, with little contact with outsiders. However, I don’t know when,
The news about the bronze mirror hidden in the house was spread to the palace.
Some people rumored that this bronze mirror could ward off evil spirits and resolve many bad lucks. After this news reached the ears of the king of Tianchi Kingdom, the king immediately sent someone to ask for the bronze mirror.
At first, the people in the palace wanted to buy this bronze mirror with silver, but unfortunately they were rejected by the old man. For the latter, this bronze mirror was a legacy of their family. This alone is not money.
It's measurable.
Seeing that the money they bought was no longer enough, those people began to threaten again. They claimed that if they refused to hand over the bronze mirror, the king would arrest the mother-in-law and grandson for disrespect.
I have to say that this threat is indeed very powerful.
In desperation, the old man had to agree temporarily and asked them to come back to pick up the things in three days.
Even so, the old man felt deeply anxious in her heart. She knew very well that once the people in the palace sold the ancient mirror to them, it would be basically impossible to get it back. It was one thing to be reluctant, and even more so.
The biggest reason is still distrust of the king.
Because no one knows what the king is looking for these bronze mirrors for. Will he smash the bronze mirrors in the end?
Obviously, this is not a scene the old man wants to see.
So when Tang Seng and others appeared, the old man simply gave the bronze mirror to Tang Seng. In this way, the people in the palace could no longer take the things away by force.
"Elder, just think of it as the old woman's selfishness. Rather than handing this over to those people, it would be better to leave it beside the elder," the old man said.
Just as Tang Seng was about to say something, Sun Wukong suddenly whispered behind him: "Master, I think you should accept it first?"
Tang Monk frowned slightly and turned to look at Sun Wukong.
"Wukong, what do you mean? As a monk, how can you take other people's things at will? What's more, if this bronze mirror is taken away by us, how will the mother-in-law and grandson explain it to the people in the palace?"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was suddenly the sound of rapid horse hooves in the distance.
