Chapter 27: Stargazing and Moon Gathering Mirrors (Part 1)

No one spoke in the room for a long time, it was quiet, and a needle could be heard falling to the ground, because everyone was "thundered" by Zheng Tianlong's words!

"This ...... Is it really worth so much money? ”

Liao Chong felt a bitterness in his mouth, and he couldn't describe his mood at this time.

"Heh, Liao Ju, why don't we pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other?"

Zheng Tianlong didn't seem to know what kind of impact his words had on Liao Chong.

"Tianlong, you explain to us what the hell is going on."

Yang Xin was the first to calm down, after all, as an antique collector, the value of the antiques she handled almost every day was more than 10 million.

"Let's talk about this one."

Zheng Tianlong said as he picked up a bronze mirror, the size of a fist, made of copper, which was also the most valuable of the five magic weapons on the table.

"This brass mirror is called the stargazing and moon-gazing mirror, which is a very important magic weapon."

There are many kinds of materials used to make ritual utensils, such as stone, jade, wood, etc., but the most common is brass, which is because brass is easier to absorb the qi in feng shui, so it becomes the first material for production.

Zheng Tianlong reversed the bronze mirror, the mirror was facing forward, and continued: "One after another here are the more common auspicious clouds in the magic weapons, and the key is the moon that is half-exposed and half-hidden in the auspicious clouds, and the stars that are grained. ”

Yang Xin is an antique expert, she has carefully looked at this stargazing and moon-gazing gas concentrator mirror before, and she is quite clear about what Zheng Tianlong said, so she said:

"In addition to the clouds, moon, and stars you mentioned in this mirror, the ground is a piece of grass, and there is a person standing on it, fluttering like a fairy, looking up, pretending to be a Taoist priest, and there are cranes and spirit turtles around him, but what does this mean?"

Nodding, Zheng Tianlong said: "That's right, that's right, the most important place of this magic weapon is on this portrait." ”

"This is a Taoist priest, he is not just looking up at the stars and the moon in the sky, but practicing!"

"Practice?"

After listening to it for a long time, Yang Zhi finally couldn't help it, and she found that she couldn't understand what Zheng Tianlong said more and more.

"Tianlong, do you mean to say that this Taoist priest is a qi refiner?"

A thoughtful expression appeared on Yang Xin's face.

"What is a Qi Refiner?"

Bai Jianyun also walked over, looking at the bronze mirror in Zheng Tianlong's hand, he was quite curious.

"Qi refining, refers to the Taoist through the way of breathing and guiding a method to pursue longevity, the person who refines the qi is called the Qi refiner, in many classics are recorded, for example, Bao Zhao's "Dai Huainan Wang" poem said, 'Huainan King, good longevity, take food and refine qi to read the immortal scriptures', for example, for example, the great poet Li Bai of the Tang Dynasty also said in the "Fengsheng Chapter" that 'the first smell of the gas refining meal gold liquid, return to the sky to go to Yujing', which is the life of the Qi refiner."

Antique appraisal involves many aspects of knowledge, Yang Xin has been well-read since she was a child, and such a problem is definitely difficult for her.

"But even if that's the case, how will that help us to determine the value of this bronze mirror?"

Yang Xin knew all this, but she couldn't think of any use for it.

Zheng Tianlong stretched out his left hand, pointed to a few words next to the Taoist statue, and said, "There are a few words here, which read: stargazing and moonlighting." ”

Yang Xin's brows furrowed slightly. Of course, she won't let go of these words, but she doesn't think that she can tell the age based on this.

Generally speaking, the identification of antiques, especially those with patterns, can be judged from the style and content of the patterns, but these alone are not very accurate, for example, a pattern that appeared in the Tang Dynasty may appear in any dynasty after the Tang Dynasty such as the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties.

Therefore, unless the pattern is from a painter or sculptor with his own unique style, it is definitely not possible to determine the age based on the pattern alone.

At this time, if there are words and seals, it is very important. words, you can judge whether it is written by a celebrity from the handwriting; A seal is a person's representative, no different from a name.

Although there are characters on the square bronze mirror in front of him, the characters are common seal scripts, and they are not carved but cast, and Yang Xin's vision cannot determine which dynasty this is - the general font has no characteristics at all.

"Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin's grandfather is called Zhao Jing, the word 'Jing' is very close to the pronunciation of the word 'mirror' in the mirror, in order to avoid secrecy, so the mirror of the Song Dynasty will be renamed 'Zhaozi', and the abbreviation is called 'Zhao'."

Zheng Tianlong's words shocked Yang Xin's heart, how could he forget this matter?

讳 is a way to avoid the emperor's real name, mainly manifested in speaking and recording, writing, if you encounter the emperor's name to avoid, generally can be replaced with other words, or deliberately the word is missing the pen, when taking the name can not take their name in the word, or even the homophone of the word, otherwise you may commit the crime of disrespect.

Zheng Tianlong said such a thing, in the Song Dynasty, in order to avoid Zhao Jing's word "respect", he used "Zhaozi" on the mirror.

"Since this mirror has a Zhaozi cast on it, it should be Song Mirror."

Zheng Tianlong judged that the value of the stargazing and moon-gazing mirror in front of him was of course not because of its age, but because of its qi.

With the help of his ability, he found that the qi on the mirror was actually generated because the qi refiner raised his head and spit out the stars, moons, and clouds when he was cultivating, that is to say, with the qi refiner's cultivation, a trace of qi gathered from the stars, moons, and clouds above his head to his body, and then became stronger and stronger, as if it gave people the feeling that this qi refiner would one day be able to feather into an immortal - who could be sure that this would not be possible after many years?

Zheng Tianlong had never seen such a magic mirror before, and he couldn't help but sigh at the wonder of the creation in the world.

The only thing that made Zheng Tianlong feel a little regret was that even though he had touched the entire copper mirror with the help of the identification of the bronze mirror just now, there was no such thing as absorbing the "white spots", which also made him know that not every magic weapon had knowledge that could be absorbed by himself.

"Since this stargazing and moon-gazing mirror is so valuable, then we can arrest this Xiang Kojiro!"

Yang Zhi's eyes shone brightly, in fact, she didn't care at all how much the magic weapon was worth, she cared about whether she could convict the island devil.

glanced at Yang Xin, and finally Zheng Tianlong shook his head and said, "Not yet." ”

"Huh?! Why?! ”

"Yes, didn't you say that these magic weapons are worth tens of millions? Why can't the arrest be approved yet? ”

"This ...... Tianlong, how can this be? ”

Yang Zhi, Bai Jianyun and Xie Fang suddenly screamed, completely unexpectedly that this would be the case.

Liao Chong's face became heavy again, and he looked at Zheng Tianlong and Yang Xin and said, "Why is this happening? ”
