Chapter 428: Miraculous Sight The Wisdom of the Ancients
This time Lin Tian didn't move, Yang Yuqi couldn't wait to run over, and then excitedly brought it to everyone, "I'll open it for you, giggles", Yang Yuqi was very happy, she untied the cloth, and in an instant, a rainbow glow filled the whole room, like a fairy world, it was so gorgeous, colorful, and the colorful glow shrouded Yang Yuqi's body, like a fairy who had fallen into the world, beautiful, and shining.
"It's ······" Everyone stared blankly at the items in Yang Yuqi's hands.
Liu Lao stood up directly, muttering to himself: "Liuli, it turned out to be Liuli."
I saw that in Yang Yuqi's hand, there seemed to be nothing, and a cloud of glow spontaneously burst out from the palm of his hand, but if he looked closely, there was an outline, like a mirror, but this mirror was different from ordinary mirrors, it was filled with a layer of colorful flowing clouds, and the mirror was a layer of flowing clouds, crystal clear, and dazzling glass.
"Wow, it's such a beautiful glass", Yang Yuqi held it in her hand, and couldn't put it down.
"This is not glass, this is glass, and it is ancient glass", Liu Lao said excitedly, "Can you let me see?", Liu Lao looked pleading.
"Okay, be careful", Yang Yuqi said reluctantly, she didn't want to let go at all.
"Well, rest assured", Liu Lao seems to treat his lover and people in general, very careful, for fear that it will damage a little, he really likes it, unlike Yang Yuqi, who is greedy for good looks and dreams.
"Liuli I know, it is said to be one of the seven treasures of Buddhism, and it is recorded in the Journey to the West that Sha Wujing was demoted to the Liusha River because he broke the glass jar, but what is going on with this ancient method of glass." Lin Tian asked.
"Almost, mainly to distinguish between modern water glass and ancient glass, the glass fired by ancient technology becomes ancient glass. The production process of ancient glaze is quite complicated, and it takes dozens of processes to complete. And mainly rely on handmade, in which the grasp of each link is quite difficult, the difficulty of grasping the heat can be said to be half by skill and half by luck, so it is much more precious than the general glaze, this glazed product is obviously a fine product". Liu Lao said excitedly.
"This glass should be very precious, after all, there was no such mature technology in ancient times." Lin Tian asked.
"Well, in fact, the history of firing glaze in ancient times can be traced back to the Western Zhou Dynasty, and by the Han Dynasty, the production level of glaze has been quite mature. However, the smelting technology was in the hands of the royal family and nobles, and it has been kept secret. Because it is difficult for the people to obtain, people have always regarded glass as a treasure more precious than jade.
There are five famous artifacts in China, namely glaze, gold and silver, jade, ceramics, and bronze. Among them, the glass is in the first place, and you can imagine everyone's cherishing of it.
However, in the Yuan Dynasty, there was a fault in the production technology of colored glass, so in the early Ming Dynasty, colored glass became something that only appeared in myths and legends......" Liu Lao explained.
"Well, I have seen a lot of glaze, but most of the water glaze circulating in the market is made by modern technology, which is an imitation of glaze, and the glaze that is really fired by the ancient method should be very expensive and has a high collection value. Jia Lao stood up at this time and said.
"This should be a mirror", Zhao Lao said, "I have also seen ancient glass, most of them should be small and delicate things such as beads, many times it should be the shape of jewelry, it is unlikely to make a mirror." You must know that the glass is not very transparent, and there are many colors, which cannot be reflected at all. Zhao Lao raised the question in his heart.
"Well, it's really strange, we all know that ancient mirrors are generally made of copper, basically not with glass, so I think, this is not used to groom and dress up at all, but the ancient emperor's family used to suppress feng shui, you know, the ancients were very superstitious, for Taoism, Buddhism is very respectful, especially in some periods of time the emperor also has the position of a national teacher, for those ethereal things are even more convinced, so this glass mirror I think is a magic weapon used to suppress feng shui luck."
"Magic weapon, is it the kind of town house, used to ward off evil spirits?" Lin Tian asked.
"Yes, but that's just the most superficial, basic role, in ancient times, Dayu made Jiuding, which can suppress the luck of Kyushu and protect the common people, Qin Shi Huang built twelve bronze people, and wanted to continue the luck of the Great Qin Empire, trying to build imperial tombs for thousands of generations, and suppress the dragon vein, and this magic weapon, if we guess wrong, it should be an object in the Wuzhou period, which is a magic weapon used to drive away evil and destroy demons."
"Why do you say that?" Lin Tian asked.
"Everyone, please just look at this glass mirror", Liu Lao put the glass mirror in the middle and asked everyone to observe it carefully.
I saw that the mirror in Liu Lao's hand was not the most common circle, but a regular gossip form, octagonal and octagonal. The surface of the mirror is still brilliant and dazzling, and there is no fading at all. The real glaze will never change color for thousands of years. Unlike the water glass on the market, it will begin to fade after only a year or two, and the longer it is, the more it looks like plastic, and there is no crystal clear feeling at all. The most important thing is that the texture of this layer of glass is very strong, even if it is mixed with a variety of colors, it is still so crystal clear, and it feels smooth, without the sluggishness of crystal and glass.
Jia Lao took the glass mirror from Liu Lao's hand, turned it over, and saw that the back of the mirror was carved with gossip and dragon patterns, and a majestic unicorn was carved in the center of the mirror.
Around the Qilin Rui Beast, surrounded by the Eastern Green Dragon, the Southern Vermilion Bird, the Western White Tiger, and the Northern Xuanwu, the Xuanguang was shrouded in the surrounding body, as if it had come to life.
The unicorn is yellow light, the green dragon is cyan light, the vermilion bird is red, the white tiger is white, the Xuanwu is black, the four spirits protect the unicorn, and the colorful light flows through the back of the mirror, which is very psychedelic.
And on the eight edges of the glass gossip mirror, the pattern of the gossip is engraved, the short bar, the long bar cooperate with each other, and then the outside is a small seal, which is neatly engraved on the eight edges, a total of 16 runes, respectively, the image of the gossip of "dry sky, Kundi, thunder, fire, Xunfeng, Kanshui, Genshan, and Duize".
Despite the carvings of so many objects in this space of seven or eight inches, the back of the mirror does not appear disorganized, but very orderly, and the patterns of various creatures are clearly visible and lifelike.
"This should be the legendary Five Spirits Bagua Mirror, it is indeed a feng shui magic weapon", Jia Lao nodded, "Tang history once recorded that Wu Zetian was once presented with a peerless feng shui magic instrument by Taoism when he registered, and after learning the use of the magic mirror, Wu Zetian was overjoyed and let someone serve as a national teacher." And this magic mirror she not only can't put it down, but also used to shelter herself, the name of the magic mirror is the five spirit gossip mirror, and this mirror is exactly the same as the description, and according to the wild history, the mirror is placed in a place where there is light, the five spirits will show their true body to guard the emperor, and there will be a huge yin and yang gossip enveloping the entire room, all the ghosts and monsters in the room will be eliminated, although this is just fiction, but I think it should not be groundless."
