Tang Dynasty detective

Chapter 557 The Legend of the Yata Mirror
"It's nothing. Brother Conan, I want to take a look at the three great artifacts. I wonder if Brother Conan agrees?" Li Canghai said.

"Brother Li is a criminal officer of the Tang Dynasty, why not want to see the three great artifacts? Please." Conan said politely, gesticulating with his right hand.

After Li Canghai thought for a while, he turned around and handed the jade pendant to Xue Xuan, and whispered something in her ear, Xue Xuan nodded, and then left Dongkuayuan.

Seeing this, Conan hurried over, supported Li Canghai, and then helped him into the side room Buddhist hall.

In the Buddhist hall, the three major artifacts are lined up on the wooden table and offered with incense.

This was the first time that Li Canghai saw the real face of the three artifacts.

The Grass Pheasant Sword, the Qiong Gouyu, and the Yata Mirror, each of the three artifacts has its own uniqueness.

The Grass Pheasant Sword is three fingers wide and about two feet and eight inches long. The sword body is engraved with complicated and complicated patterns.

Qionggouyu, about the size of a finger, is in the shape of a half moon. It is green all over and emits a faint fluorescence, giving people an extremely warm and moist feeling.

The Yata mirror is similar in size to an ordinary bronze mirror. The difference is that the two sides of this bronze mirror are transparent, and there are exquisite patterns carved around it. There are spots all over the mirror surface, like stars in the night sky.

Li Canghai originally thought that those spots were dust that fell on it, but when he wiped it with his sleeve, he realized that those spots were not dust, but existed in the mirror itself.

The most peculiar thing is that those spots have obvious layers when viewed from the side, but they are a round mass when viewed from the front, very much like the star map of the universe that he knows.

The mirror material is not the resin he was familiar with in his previous life, but a transparent stone. I really don't know how craftsmen thousands of years ago embedded those spots into it.

"Brother Conan, what's going on?" Li Canghai asked in surprise.

Conan laughed and said: "This is the magic of the Yata Mirror. Although the mirror is transparent on both sides, there seems to be dust in the mirror and it is cloudy, but it can clearly see people's faces. In our Dongpu, there is still There is a legend about this mirror."

"Oh, what legend is it?" Li Canghai asked curiously as he looked at the Yata Mirror.

"It is rumored that this Yata Mirror is a magic weapon made by the gods of the heavens to invite Amaterasu. It contains all things in the sky. If someone can understand the meaning, they can get the whole sky." Conan said .

"Get the whole sky?" Li Canghai was a little surprised. If he said he got the world, it would make sense, but what does it mean to get the whole sky?
In addition to the sun, stars and moon, there are only some illusory clouds left in the sky. Compared with the sky, the ground under your feet is still real.

Conan nodded and said: "The legend is true. It is said that this is because the Yata Mirror contains the divine power of Amaterasu. If you can get the divine power of Amaterasu, you will naturally have the entire sky."

Li Canghai squinted his eyes, he had heard about the mythology of Dongpu.

This Amaterasu God is the God of Creation in Dongpu mythology, and also the incarnation of the sun.

Rumor has it that Goddess Amaterasu had a competition with another god to have a child, but she lost and felt ashamed, so she hid in a cave.

She was originally the incarnation of the sun, but when she hid in the cave, the whole Dongpu was plunged into darkness.

And those demons and goblins began to wreak havoc in Dongpu because they had no nemesis, and the whole Dongpu began to live in dire straits.

But God Amaterasu is also a very thin-skinned person. As a god of creation, she lost in the matter of giving birth to a child. This made her feel ashamed. No matter how the gods comforted her and begged her, she would not come out.

In desperation, the gods thought of a way. They made a mirror, lit a fire, and then used the mirror to refract the fire light into the cave where Amaterasu was hiding, and cheered and danced outside.

Amaterasu was originally the incarnation of the sun. She saw the light outside and the gods cheered for joy. She was very puzzled and asked why the gods were cheering.

The gods replied that a new sun god had come from heaven, more beautiful and kinder than Amaterasu.

Amaterasu heard that someone was more beautiful than her, and immediately felt dissatisfied, and asked the gods to find the sun god, and he wanted to meet him in person.

But the gods lifted out the mirror from a distance, and Amaterasu was amazed when he saw that the person in the mirror was not only beautiful and gentle, but also full of wisdom.

The gods took the opportunity to pull Amaterasu out of the cave, and sealed the cave, so that Amaterasu could never go back to the cave.

To say that Amaterasu really didn't know whether it was pure or simply stupid, after she came out, she realized that the person she saw in the mirror was herself.

This made her even more certain that she was a real goddess who combined beauty and wisdom. She was very satisfied with the mirror made by the gods, and regarded it as her own incarnation, and it would remain in the world forever.

And that mirror is the famous Yata mirror in the future!

It is not difficult to see from the myths and legends that the Yata Mirror is regarded as the incarnation of Amaterasu. If it is said that Amaterasu's divine power is sealed inside, it is also reasonable.

However, this myth is still a myth. Compared with this, Li Canghai is more willing to believe that the eight-handed mirror was left by Xu Fu who was looking for the elixir for Qin Shihuang.

Thinking of this, Li Canghai's heart suddenly moved, and he thought to himself: "If the legend is true, and the Amaterasu in the story is replaced by Xu Fu, then these are not the legends left by Xu Fu?"

"Amaterasu's divine power is hidden in the Yata Mirror. Could this imply that there are clues left by Xu Fu in the Yata Mirror?" Li Canghai talked to himself for a while before asking Conan's consent. Afterwards, he took the Yata Mirror in his hand and observed it over and over again.

"The three artifacts have been circulated in Japan for nearly a thousand years, but no one has ever seen the secrets hidden in them. However, I have a feeling that if anyone in this world can solve the mystery, that person must be Brother Li." Conan saw him After carefully observing the three artifacts, he said sincerely.

Li Canghai was slightly taken aback, and said, "Brother Conan is flattering me too much, how can I have this ability?"

Conan smiled. He looked around and said in a low voice, "Actually, I once read a secret record of the Japanese imperial family. According to it, it records the history of Japanese imperialism and the secrets of the Japanese imperial family."

"Oh? What's the secret?" Li Canghai put down the mirror and asked in surprise.

"According to records, the three major artifacts were indeed brought by the gods. The gods not only brought the three artifacts, but also fairies and fairies, as well as grain tools. They taught the people of Dongying to plant grains, fish and hunt, and built the first Dongying A city formed the imperial family of Japan." Having said this, Conan paused for a moment, and said deeply: "The god of heaven came from the west on a dragon boat."
