Chapter 140 Longevity Thread and Longevity Lock (2)
Wang Gang is also a well-informed person. He nodded at this time and said, "I have heard of this method too."
"Amitabha, since you have heard of King Donor, please tell everyone about it."
As an eminent Buddhist monk, Tianyi certainly knew the last method mentioned by Zheng Tianlong, but after all, he was in Buddhism, so it would be much more convenient if Wang Gang explained it.
"sure no problem."
Wang Gang nodded and continued: "This is also a kind of custom, especially in and around Jincheng. Some families who have rare children worry about the child being sick or dying young, so they let the child become a monk.
The Taoist is the master, and then the master will give the child a lock with silk braids and Arhat money. From then on, the child will be the apprentice of the monk. This kind of longevity lock is also called a name lock. In fact, this kind of lock is made by
It was consecrated and blessed by the monks, so it became a magic weapon. Of course, the apprentice's family donated some sesame oil money to the master's temple every year, and the master would also help the apprentice. If the silk thread of the lock was old or broken, he had to go to the temple.
Get a new one inside.”
"Master Wang, do you have to wear a lock like this for a lifetime?"
Yang Xin was quite curious. She had vaguely heard of such a lock, but the specific situation was not clear.
Shaking his head, Wang Gang said with a smile: "Of course not. On his 13th birthday, his family will take him to the temple. They will burn incense in front of the Buddha statue, kowtow to the master, and then run out of the mountain gate.
You can't look back while running. When you pass by a wooden bench that has been placed in advance, jump over it, which means you can jump over the temple wall and return to secular life. This is the so-called wall jumping, and you don't need to wear it anymore from now on."
"Master Zheng, generally speaking, what are the characteristics of such longevity locks?"
Suddenly someone shouted loudly. It was obvious that this person was fascinated by what he heard, so he wanted to know more.
"Yes, Master Zheng, just tell us a little more so that we can learn more."
The people who came today, whether they are professionals or not, whether they are colleagues or not, all have one thing in common, which is that they are very interested in Feng Shui instruments. Which one of Zheng Tianlong, Tianyi and Wang Gang is not a well-known expert in identifying instruments? I heard from Jun Yixi
Yan Sheng has been studying for ten years. Such an opportunity is rare. Naturally, they want to "take" more things out of the mouths of people like Zheng Tianlong.
"Oh, no problem. Since everyone wants to hear it, I will say more."
Seeing Zheng Tianlong who was swaying freely, Wang Gang and Tianyi glanced at each other and nodded lightly. To put it bluntly, their purpose of coming here today was to support Zheng Tianlong. Although there were Jin Tianhao, He Xin and others
People came to make trouble, but now the whole situation has been controlled by Zheng Tianlong, and Zheng Tianlong's ability in Feng Shui and the identification of magic weapons has been recognized by everyone. This is not easy. This can also be done from the other side.
It proves that Zheng Tianlong's ability is really too powerful.
Zhou Qing also pointed at Zheng Tianlong at this time, indicating that the photographer must point the camera at Zheng Tianlong at this time. If it was Zheng Tianlong's PK with others before, now it is the personal performance time after winning the PK, which is equally important.
Incomparable, it must be filmed, so as to highlight Zheng Tianlong's personal ability and charm, which is crucial for future publicity after the program is officially launched.
"First of all, in terms of material, longevity locks can be made of gold, silver, copper, iron, wood, stone, jade, bone, horn and other materials. Rich people will of course choose materials such as gold, silver, jade teeth, etc.
Mainly choose silver, copper or even wood, etc. The most common one is silver. This is because silver is easy to make, not as expensive as gold and more high-end than copper. In addition, silver has the effect of disinfection and sterilization, so it has become a good choice for making long-lasting products.
The best material for locks.”….
"In terms of shape, longevity locks generally have large, small, square, round, flat, long, single-layer, double-layer, etc. As for the shapes, they are often ruyi-shaped, ingot-shaped, lock-shaped, etc. Most longevity locks
The lock is impossible to open, that is to say, without a key, and only a very few can be opened with a key."
"There are three major categories of decorative patterns on longevity locks. One is auspicious words, such as longevity, good luck, etc.; the second is auspicious patterns of flowers, birds, insects and beasts, such as bats, cranes, Ganoderma lucidum, peonies, etc.
; The other type is characters from mythological stories, such as the longevity lock is engraved with a unicorn sending a child, bangs playing with a golden toad, or the three stars of fortune, longevity and longevity, etc."
"Master Zheng, I also have a question to ask."
Wu Liang raised his hand. Just now he remembered that he also had a longevity lock at home, which he wore when he was a child.
"Mr. Wu, tell me, what's the problem?"
"Master Zheng, I have a long-life lock at home. It's been a few years. The color is not bright silver like silver, but it's not the color after oxidation of silver. It shows a kind of cyan color that shines from the inside out. What I want to know is this.
What's going on? Is this the key to judging whether a longevity lock is a good thing?"
The longevity lock is a relatively common magic weapon, so many people have seen it. Therefore, as soon as Wu Liang finished speaking, someone immediately responded:
"Yes, Master Zheng, I have seen a longevity lock. It is red in color. What is going on?"
"I've seen gray ones."
…
He raised his hand and pressed it. After everyone calmed down, Zheng Tianlong said with a smile: "The reason why the silver longevity lock appears green, red and gray in color is because pure silver is too soft and is not easy to shape.
Therefore, when making a longevity lock, other metals will be added after melting the sterling silver. Different types and amounts of metals added will lead to different colors, so this is not used to judge whether the longevity lock is
It is not the basis for a good magic weapon."
The most direct and effective way to judge the value of a magic weapon is of course to look at the Qi, but the problem is that not all Feng Shui masters or magic weapon appraisers can do this, so there will be some judgments based on the surface characteristics of the magic weapon.
The way to judge the value of a magic weapon, such as the color of the longevity lock, is one of the ways to "spread" it. In fact, this is wrong.
There are many misunderstandings in the identification of magical instruments, and this is one of them. It is precisely because he knows this that Zheng Tianlong points it out.
"Ah? So that's it. If you didn't tell me, Master Zheng, I would have thought that this was the way to judge!"
Sure enough, as soon as Zheng Tianlong finished speaking, there were many screams in the crowd. It was obvious that there were not a few people who were "cheated" in this way.
