Chapter 9 Chapter 8 Future Prospect Indicator

No one expected that Zu Tiankai would answer Lao Cai's casual question like this.He first took a deep breath, and then took another sip of wine, before saying word by word: "Wishing Mirror!" Both Bai Su and Wesley are familiar with the dialects of various parts of China, Zu Tiankai's language, they can fully understand it, but after Zu Tiankai said it, they looked at each other with puzzled expressions, obviously they didn't understand what it was. So the two asked in unison, "What?" Zu Tiankai wiped his face with his hand and repeated: "Wishing Mirror!"

As he spoke, he gestured for the size with both hands, and it appeared to be a round object with a diameter of about 20 centimeters. Bai Su and Wesley looked at each other again, Wesley sighed first, Bai Su said "hmm": "Making a wish... the mirror? Make a wish... the wish you make will come true?" Bai Su asked very puzzled, but Zu Tiankai answered very seriously: "Yes, that's right!" Wesley laughed suddenly, and waved his hand forcefully: "Since the Wang family has some kind of family heirloom, why not make a wish in front of the mirror and know Li Xuanxuan's origin?"

Wesley was not only amused, but also very angry, because what Zu Tiankai said was so unreasonable! There are legends that if you make a wish on something, the wish will come true, both in ancient and modern China and abroad.In the West, there is a magical "monkey's paw" that can give people three wishes. There is a very tragic and famous story about this monkey's paw. There are also "wishing wells" - throw something into the well, make a wish, and the wish will come true. Zu Tiankai seriously said that the ancestral treasure of the Wang family is a "wishing mirror". Either he was joking with us deliberately, or he was too ignorant!Don't say that there will be no such treasure in the world, even if there is, it may not fall into the Wang family.

Because the Wang family was nothing special except for some money, Wang Datong's father died early and died of an accident.Although Wang Datong himself is an excellent brain doctor, he can achieve his goal through hard work. He is not the only outstanding doctor in the world! Wang Datong didn't get married until he was middle-aged, so it can be seen that his love life is not satisfactory. If there is such a treasure in his family, why doesn't he use it? Bai Su obviously had the same question, so although Wesley's words made it clear that he didn't believe in Zu Tiankai, Bai Su didn't say anything, but just looked at Zu Tiankai.

With Zu Tiankai's rich life experience, he can naturally know what the three of them are thinking. He first took a big sip of wine, and then pointed at Wesley: "He asked!" Although Zu Tiankai said three very simple words, it was his answer to Wesley's question, so it had a very strong shocking power, and it also made people's minds flooded with more questions. First of all, that means that there really is such a thing as a "wishing mirror" in the world, and that thing is a family heirloom of the Wang family. Secondly, the "wishing mirror" can really be used for people to make a wish. After making a wish, the wish will come true.

Secondly, Wang Datong has already asked the wishing mirror, and his question is naturally: "Mirror, mirror, please show your magic and tell me the secret about Li Xuanxuan!" No matter when he did this, he must have not got the answer, that is to say, the wishing mirror with incredible power does not know the origin of Li Xuanxuan. This made Li Xuanxuan's mystery ten thousand times greater! In everyone's astonishment, Zu Tiankai said again: "I have asked, but there is no result... Well, I can't say that... Sigh, I must explain in detail, so that you can understand."

Seeing that both Wesley and Bai Su were shaking their heads, Zu Tiankai hastily explained. The two said in unison: "Okay, then tell me in detail!" Zu Tiankai rubbed his hands, drank, rubbed his hands again, and drank again.He took a big sip, and when the wine passed through his throat, there was a "squeaky" sound, which shows that he swallowed a lot. After a long while, he said: "Master Wang and I, how did we get this wishing mirror, then... needless to say!" Judging from his appearance, it seems that he is very afraid that he will be asked to say this too.Who knows how impatient Wesley is, he is afraid that he will "start from the beginning", so he immediately said: "No need!"

Zu Tiankai heaved a sigh of relief, and Wesley didn't realize until quite a while later that he had missed a possibly the most exciting Jianghu legend that he had never heard in his life! Zu Tiankai said: "That is a bronze mirror. I don't know what year and month it was, or what god left it. For this mirror, Master Wang and I have worked hard before and after, but we still don't know what it is. Many, it’s not that I don’t want to say it, I know what I know, I’ll say it!” At this time, Wesley felt that Zu Tiankai was worthy of sympathy, because the troubles he had suffered had obviously made his mental state somewhat abnormal.So, he stretched out his hand and patted the back of Zu Tiankai's hand: "You don't have to declare again and again, we believe in you. In fact, we have a lot of knowledge about this precious mirror, but we have never heard of it. This is a good thing that wishes can come true!"

Wesley said these few words very sincerely, without the meaning of ridicule. Zu Tiankai could naturally feel that he showed a grateful expression, but he said something incomprehensible: "It's not like I made a wish. It will come true.” Everyone was silent, waiting for him to explain further. Zu Tiankai said: "I don't know the details, because I haven't made a wish to the mirror, but I just heard from Master Wang that after making a wish, there will be a scene displayed on the mirror, instructing people how to do it, like... a person who makes a wish If you want to make a lot of money, a person will appear in the mirror, and if you find this person, you will get rich. Or if you find something, you can get rich by buying and selling this kind of thing, which is probably the case.”

Wesley and Bai Su looked at each other, feeling very curious in their hearts, because this situation is really incredible. Later, Wesley told Bai Su: "When I was a teenager, I saw a thing that looked like a piece of bamboo, called a 'ghost bamboo'. If you kept thinking about a person in front of it, the portrait of the person you were thinking of would appear. Appeared, as if alive, I've seen it before!" Bai Su's analytical ability is strong, she immediately asked: "The object can absorb the energy of human brain activity and transform it into an image that can be touched by vision?"

Wesley applauded: "One word!" At that time, Zu Tiankai continued: "I know that Master Wang is seeking a fortune, but I don't know what he saw in the mirror!" Lao Cai interjected, "You can't watch either?" Zu Tian said: "No, the procedure is very complicated for the mirror to take effect. First, a time must be selected, and the time is calculated based on the person's birth date. The calculation method is behind the mirror. Break the middle fingers of both hands, and drip three drops of blood on the mirror surface, and the six drops of painstaking effort slowly reversed on the mirror surface, and the scene that should be seen appeared." Lao Cai complained a bit: "Zao Lao, why don't you give it a try?" Zu Tiankai took a deep breath: "In sixty years, this mirror can only be used by one person or his descendants. Sixty years is a period before it can be used by others. And in these sixty years, it can only be used by others. Once. Master Wang used it, the young master died before he could use it, and Datong only used it recently." Wesley's heart moved: "Is the 60-year cycle of this treasure mirror about to expire?" Zu Tiankai took a deep breath: "Yes, by the end of this year, it will be the expiry date of sixty years." Wesley and Bai Su glanced at each other, both of them were thinking in their hearts, if this secret is known, then it is not impossible to send a stunning beauty to use beauty tricks to seize the treasure──this treasure Not as useful as I first thought, and it's no small feat! Like Master Wang, everyone now knows that he made a fortune by selling medicinal materials.But when he is looking for money, there are three hundred and sixty lines, how does he know which line to do?If the scene on the mirror is clearly Cordyceps sinensis and Platycodon grandiflorum, then it will be a matter of course for him to devote himself to the trading of medicinal materials. This precious mirror can be said to be a "future indicator". Relying on it to instruct once is enough! As an "advanced scientific instrument", this wishing mirror is of course much more advanced than the "ghost bamboo" that Wesley saw in his youth! Both Wesley and Bai Su are used to hypothesizing some things that are difficult to explain normally, or difficult to understand in legends, using their own methods.For example, the famous treasure "cornucopia" in history is assumed by them to be "solar metal stereoscopic replicator." When Zu Tiankai saw their expressions, he was not as disbelieving as he was at the beginning.He was also a little happier, Wesley said: "Accordingly, this is the big secret of the Wang family, and no one should know it except you and Wang Datong!" Zu Tian smiled wryly: "Firstly, it may be that Datong accidentally exposed the secret after drinking. Secondly, no matter how secret the world is, there are times when it is exposed. Sixty years ago, Master Wang and I... just accidentally found out that there is such a thing. The secret of the precious mirror, this is how I got it!" Zu Tiankai said it lightly at this time, but he said that he and Master Wang "got their lives for it" for the treasure.It can be seen that the process of obtaining the mirror must be very thrilling, and there may be an element of stealing and looting, so he would speak so hesitantly. He drank a few more sips of wine: "Datong is going to marry that woman, and he is uneasy because of the unknown origin of that woman. Yi Hao coincides with the time when he uses the mirror. At that time, he came to discuss with me── " The process of Wang Datong's consultation with Zu Tiankai was very strange and mysterious, and it is necessary to describe it in detail. The wishing mirror is the main reason why a person can only use it once in a lifetime.It is because in a person's life, only this specific time can be used - that time is calculated according to the horoscope of the person's birthday. The time when Wang Datong was able to use this treasure land happened to be a few days after he proposed marriage and entrusted Xiao Guo to investigate, but there was no result. He had a secret talk with Zu Tian in the small study of the Wang family's huge mansion.Generally speaking, if there is a small study in a huge mansion, it is where all confidential matters are carried out. Although Wang Datong is already a world-renowned doctor, he didn't have to hide his anxiety in front of Zu Tiankai, so Zu Tiankai closed the door behind him.He said: "Uncle Kai, I don't know why, I have... an unspeakable worry in my heart, I am afraid that the bride will not know what her origin is, there is absolutely no reason for a person to have no origin!" Although Zu Dakai had been secretly worried about Wang Datong's delay in getting married, he did not quite agree with Wang Datong's marriage to Li Xuanxuan. The reason was not because of Li Xuanxuan's unknown origin, but because he thought Li Xuanxuan was "acting".Based on his concept of "actors are ruthless, bitches are ruthless", Li Xuanxuan will naturally not be a qualified bride! Moreover, in his conception, of course there will be no equality between men and women. After Wang Datong and Li Xuanxuan got together, he has been instilling in Wang Datong that "women want to hit, and the more beautiful the woman, the more ruthlessly." The "reason" of "fighting".Of course, Wang Datong will not be affected by him. This made Zu Tiankai very dissatisfied, he felt that Wang Datong was weak before his beauty, and did not have the spirit of a man. Therefore, at this time Wang Datong confided his heart to him, and he got what he wanted, and immediately said: "Anyone who has no background will never be a good person, leave her behind, and find another famous lady to be his wife, and pass on the family well. If you marry such a woman again, I'm afraid you will—" Due to his feelings for the Wang family, he finally didn't say the words "unprecedented". Wang Datong naturally didn't like Zu Tiankai's words, he frowned and said with certainty: "Uncle Kai, I am married to this woman, I just came to discuss with you!" Uncle Kai was also very displeased: "You have already made a decision, why do you want to discuss with me?" Wang Datong hesitated to speak, he hesitated for a while, just paced up and down without saying anything. Zu Tiankai was not idle, he said to himself: "No one is without a story, even a goblin has a story. Tang Seng went to Xitian to learn scriptures, and how many goblins he met along the way, not all of them have a story. Or Laojun's cave guard beast, or Patriarch's whisk!" Wang Datong waved his hands, but remained silent, Uncle Kai continued nagging: "If you can't find out, just ask her!" Wang Datong was extremely irritable: "If she is willing to say it, that would be great!" Zu Tiankai raised his thick eyebrows: "Don't say it? Hang her up and beat her! Hang her upside down for three days, let's see if she says it or not!" If Li Xuanxuan was hanged upside down and beaten, I'm afraid that Li Xuanxuan's origin could be revealed, but how could he do this?Wang Dayong stamped his feet: "Uncle Kai, what era is it now? It's not the era when you were a bandit!" Wang Datong probably didn't know much about Zu Tiankai's origin, otherwise, he would never have said that—the reason is very simple, if Zu Tiankai had really been a bandit, speaking like this would be exposing his scars.It would be a grave insult if he hadn't been a bandit! Sure enough, what Wang Datong said greatly hurt Zu Tiankai's heart. Zu Tiankai didn't say a word at that time, walked to a corner of the small study, and sat down. Until Zu Dakai came to look for Wesley and told the Wesleys about the incident, he was so angry that he blew his nose and stared. Later, Wesley and Bai Su discussed: "Has Zu Tiankai ever been a bandit?" Bai Su said: "He specializes in rescuing people kidnapped by bandits, that's an act against bandits, how could he be a bandit?" Wesley said: "It's hard to say. In that chaotic era, the boundaries between black and white are not so clear. Besides, when he was beheaded, wasn't he just a gangster?" Bai Su smiled: "Why do you study this?" Wesley's answer was: "I'm very interested in the legendary life of this kind of troubled world figures. It was an era when 100% victory was achieved by strength and no distinction was made between man and beast!" Bai Su thought of her father, Boss Bai, who, as a high-ranking intellectual, had thrown himself into the rivers and lakes, experiencing the ugliness and goodness of human nature, and she couldn't help feeling very moved. But at that time, Wang Datong didn't seem to notice that Zu Tiankai was very angry—in the past, between the two of them, if Uncle Kai got angry, Wang Datong would always go to persuade Uncle Kai to please him, Don't be angry with him. But this time, he was still pacing on his own, but Uncle Kai, after getting angry for a while, saw that something was unusual, and asked loudly, "What's the matter, is there anything else you can't think about?" Wang Datong let out a long sigh: "She said that if I ask her about her background again, she will fight with me and divide things!" When Wang Datong said the last eight characters of this sentence, his face twitched, and his description was terrifying, as if it had come to the end of the world! Zu Tiankai was not a man who blindly used barbarism, he saw such a situation, he knew that Wang Datong was deeply fascinated and hopeless, so he sighed: "Then don't worry about her origin! " Zu Tiankai could afford to let it go, in fact, in Wang Datong's situation, this was the only way, and also the best way, Yuan Zhenxia woke up Wang Datong in public that day. But Wang Datong's character is mother-in-law and stubborn, but he shook his head: "No, I have to figure it out!" After expressing his determination, he suddenly said: "Uncle Kai, is it true what you told me on my twenty-first birthday?" Zu Tiankai blushed: "Datong, when did I ever lie to you? Don't think there are no clouds in the sky, just ask for such words!" Zu Tiankai's words were also very serious - if there are clouds in the sky, there will be lightning and thunder. Wang Datong expressed doubts about Kaishu's words, it will be struck by lightning! Wang Datong smiled wryly: "Uncle Kai, to tell you the truth, after I heard it, I haven't believed your words for so many years, and I don't believe that the wishing mirror has such a use at all!" Zu Tiankai jumped up and pointed at Wang Datong. He was so shocked and angry that he couldn't speak for a moment. Wang Datong sighed: "But when people have no other way, they have to try all methods. A few days ago, I took out the mirror and calculated the method after looking in the mirror. The day when I can make a wish is just around the corner. Nowadays!" Zu Tiankai became anxious, and even his voice changed, he shook his hands wildly: "Datong, you can only use this mirror once in your life, you should think about it clearly, in order to find out the origin of this woman, you Are you willing to use a precious mirror?" Wang Datong replied: "I only hope that the mirror is really useful! If I can figure out the mystery in my heart, I will pay any price!" Zu Tiankai was naturally familiar with Wang Datong's temper, so he stared at Wang Datong for a long time before saying dejectedly: "That's up to you!" After he said that, he added another sentence: "If he knew that his descendants would use the mirror for such a purpose, Mr. Wang would never have risked his life to get the mirror!" When Zu Tiankai said this at the time, Wang Datong didn't have any special reaction.On the contrary, when he recounted the story to Wesley, the Weiss and his wife reacted quite strongly. First, Wesley asked: "You have repeatedly said that you have worked hard to get the mirror. How did you get it?" This is typical of Wesley's curiosity.When Zu Tiankai heard it, he let out a long sigh first, then remained silent for a while, and then said: "How many years ago, I don't want to mention it... I don't want to mention it... I don't need to mention it!" Originally, such an answer would never satisfy Wesley, but when Zu Tiankai spoke, his voice was choked up, his expression was sad, and his eyes were scattered. The dull pain was a bloody scar on his heart. Wesley couldn't bear it, so he didn't ask any more questions. Bai Su's reaction was quite different from that of Wesley's. She persuaded, "Uncle Kai, Dr. Wang is famous and rich, and he has everything. He just wants to marry a wife who is satisfied, and use this mirror to solve the mystery in his heart. It's just right!" Zu Tiankai looked at Bai Su for a while, but still disagreed with Bai Su's statement.Wesley was anxious, and was already urging: "After using the wishing mirror, what instructions did Doctor Wang get?" Zu Tiankai let out a long sigh, showing a very strange expression.
