Chapter 761 Bronze Mirror
Ying Yu and Chen Ping were not concerned about the opinions of the people around them.
After stopping in front of the shop, Ying Yu immediately walked into the shop.
As soon as he entered the door, Ying Yu saw the old shopkeeper sitting behind the counter at first sight.
His expression was serene, and because of his blindness, Ying Yu couldn't tell whether he had his eyes open or was asleep.
After Ying Yu took a few steps forward, he felt something was wrong.
Chen Ping was also puzzled. The string of wind chimes at the door had already rang crisply.
When he walked into the shop yesterday, when the bell rang, the old shopkeeper had already greeted him.
Why did he remain unmoved today?
After walking a few steps forward, Ying Yu stopped.
Xiao He stepped forward even more, "Old shopkeeper?"
After a few breaths, the shop was surprisingly quiet, and there was no response.
At this time Xiao He also sensed something was wrong, but he still walked forward tentatively, and called out again.
However, the old shopkeeper just sat there without any response.
Only then did Chen Ping turn to look at Ying Yu, casting a questioning look.
Ying Yu nodded, while Chen Ping walked to the counter and patted the blind old shopkeeper with his hand.
However, when Xiao He met the old shopkeeper, the old shopkeeper's body tilted and he fell to the side.
With the sound of a plop, Chen Ping hurriedly walked to the counter.
After investigation, Chen Ping found that the old shopkeeper had died of anger.
It's just that his body is still warm, so it must have happened not long ago.
When Chen Ping got up, he didn't need to say any more, Ying Yu already knew the follow-up.
"Search and see if he left anything behind."
Except for Chen Ping, the guards who followed Ying Yu immediately began to rummage through the shop.
"Be careful, don't be careless."
Chen Ping led people to search the main hall, but found nothing special.
"Yes, go to the back."
Ying Yu took the lead and opened the bead curtain, and walked into the inner hall of the shop.
After entering the door, Ying Yu found that the inner hall was not that big, it was just a simple bedroom.
On a big bed, there was a child lying down, and beside the bed was a wheelchair, on which a young woman was lying sideways.
This woman has a youthful face, but her hair is gray.
Taking a closer look, he was holding a piece of paper tightly in his hand.
Ying Yu's eyes signaled that Chen Ping came to the woman's side and called her softly.
The woman, like the old shopkeeper outside, did not respond, Chen Ping stretched out his hand to test.
The result is the same, the body still has temperature, but the person is already dead.
Ying Yu sighed, and then said,
"Take it carefully."
Following Ying Yu's order, Chen Ping walked to the woman's side lightly, and it took a lot of effort to separate the woman's fingers.
After taking this piece of paper, with Ying Yu around, Chen Ping naturally didn't look at it first.
He stepped back directly, and handed the note he took from the woman to Ying Yu's hand.
Ying Yu unfolded the paper and saw that there were only two words written on it.
"Bronze mirror."
After seeing these two words, Ying Yu also frowned.
As for the inexplicable two words, it is impossible to have any clues just by looking at them.
But if this is really of no value, then why is this woman still holding on to it when she is dying.
Obviously these two words are not unusual.
After thinking for a while, Ying Yu ordered the guards to shrink up to see if there were any letters, manuscripts and the like.
Through comparison, it was finally concluded that the two words on the note should be the handwriting of the dead woman.
And this woman's appearance, although she looks young, is actually over half a hundred years old.
From the two words he left behind, no useful clues can be obtained.
Most of the things in the house are books and supplies about divination.
Afterwards, Ying Yu withdrew from this shop, and there was naturally a dedicated person in charge of dealing with the aftermath.
Chen Ping was in Ying Yu's chariot.
After such a thing happened, Ying Yu looked solemn, and Chen Ping beside him was also not relaxed.
Not long after, Ying Yu still sighed, after all, he was still a step late.
These two people are all proficient in divination. I don't know if they have calculated that there will be such a catastrophe today.
After listening to Ying Yu's words, Chen Ping also sighed secretly.
In fact, he could have known more.
It's just because he didn't take the blind old shopkeeper's words to heart, so he didn't come here today, if he came earlier today.
Will the result be different?
Thinking of this, Chen Ping had to admire Ying Yu again.
Ying Yu himself had not been to this place in person, but only based on what he had described.
He immediately determined that this place was the key to the incident.
And come here immediately without hesitation.
It's just a little late after all.
Chen Ping didn't know what Ying Yu's judgment was based on, but in terms of the result.
This place probably hides a very important secret.
It's just that no matter what kind of secrets are hidden here, it's already too late.
The person in charge here is no longer there.
The only clue now is the note in Ying Yu's hand.
However, the contents of that note were not clear.
The bronze mirror is just an ordinary thing, without the assistance of other clues, it is basically impossible to draw conclusions from these two words alone.
On the way back, the two didn't say much.
Chen Ping knew about such a thing, and it was impossible for Ying Yu to blame himself.
But there was still some regret and guilt in his heart.
If he had come to this place, everything might have been different.
But now that everything has happened, there is no practical value in regretting it.
All Ying Yu thought about along the way was the bronze mirror, and the possible meanings of these two words.
But all the way back to the palace, he didn't come to a suitable conclusion.
This matter can only be pressed temporarily, but before Chen Ping left, Ying Yu also told him.
You must keep these two words in mind, maybe you can use them in any situation, and you can understand what he means.
Chen Ping naturally understood what Ying Yu meant, that is, these two words must always be kept in mind.
After being careless this time, Chen Ping did not dare to take it lightly.
Although it wasn't his fault in the final analysis, it was still because he didn't do it well.
After Chen Ping saluted, he left Xianyang Palace.
When he returned to Xiao He's residence, he reported this matter to Xiao He.
Xiao He was also very surprised by this matter.
When the two of them were discussing and planning for the results yesterday.
Chen Ping naturally explained this matter to him.
But Xiao He didn't pay much attention to this matter at the time.
For these divinations, the two of them naturally kept a respectful distance.
Based on the investigation of such a major matter, of course, one would not pin one's hopes on it.
For them, those who engage in these activities are mostly just charlatans.
So when Chen Ping explained the situation to Xiao He.
Xiao He was also extremely puzzled by this, and he also couldn't figure out what basis Ying Yu used to make his judgment?
As far as the result is concerned, Ying Yu's judgment on this matter should also be extremely accurate.
So for now, it is not known what value and significance obtaining this clue will have for subsequent development.
But this can't be something that just happened for no reason.
"At this point, we can only plan ahead and follow up. By the way, the results of the analysis have come out."
