God-level Golden Hand

Chapter 669
The problem that Xu Jingxing encountered was exactly the problem of those scales.

Taoist Xuanyang gave him a blueprint. The blueprint was very clear, with clear scales and text. He only needed to move the lines and text on the golden nanmu plate according to the blueprint.

However, when he polished the plate to make it round and smooth, and was about to start, he discovered that the seemingly innocuous scales were full of mysteries, just like the gears of a rigorous mechanical dial, which made him completely confused. At first, I tried to draw two sketches, but I always felt that the position of the scale I drew was off, and I couldn't find the problem when I looked for the problem.

He originally wanted to call Taoist Xuanyang for help, but after thinking about it, he turned on the computer and searched online.

Not to mention, he actually found the answer on the computer.

The answer is very simple, it is the question of the baseline, well, it is also called the meridian, anyway, it is a baseline on the compass, the baseline must be fixed first, and then the densely packed scales can be more accurately divided.

After finding the trick, the next work will be much easier. After half a day, all the lines and characters needed on the compass will be engraved.

Of course, it is far from enough to lithographically print good lines and characters. The most important process is varnishing. Firstly, varnishing is to protect the compass, and secondly, to enhance the resolution of those lines and characters. Generally, the compass is mostly yellow. as the background color, and then mixed with black and red to improve the recognition of lines and text.

Of course, he didn't intend to be unconventional, but seriously painted according to the traditional image. First, he painted the yellow paint once, then sanded it after it was dry, and then painted it again. After doing this three times, the base color was considered good.It will definitely be time-consuming and labor-intensive to do so, but the benefits are more.

The most obvious advantage is that the coloring is very strong, the thick base color is almost completely integrated with the wood of the golden nanmu, not to mention the natural drying in the shade, even if you use a blade to scrape, it is difficult to separate the base color from the wood Come.

Another advantage is that the base color is thicker, it looks smoother, and the texture is strong. If you continue to paint on this side, it will look more solid, and there will be no flaws such as cracks when carving.

Sure enough, when he lightly sketched the lines and characters on the background color, the texture was very soft. The texture of the background color was as flexible and fine as the carved Shoushan stone. Color the rest of the lines and text as well.

Of course, this is not the end. After painting everything, he polished it again. This time he polished it very carefully, using force and lightly, as if wiping the skin of a baby, and finally applied a thin layer of wax.

After finishing these steps, looking at the appearance of the compass, even he felt a little surprised, because the compass looks very calm, with a sense of atmosphere, and the polished appearance has a sense of the times that has gone through the years , Those who don’t know will definitely regard it as an old object.

It's just that this plate is a little light in the hand. After all, it is made of golden nanmu, and the weight must not be compared with the small-leaf red sandalwood.However, this small flaw does not affect the use, and it is even an advantage, because real Fengshui masters have to carry a compass for a long distance when using it, and climbing mountains and ridges is commonplace. it is good.

In addition, the use of golden nanmu to make plates was proposed by Taoist Xuanyang. He will do the same even if there are many shortcomings. What he has to do is to make this plate as good as possible under the existing conditions.

After doing this, there is only the last process left, which is to install the magnetic needle.

According to Taoist Xuanyang, installing the magnetic needle is a technical task, which is difficult to do, so don't be discouraged if you try it a few times.

However, he only tried once and successfully pressed the magnetic needle up. After trying to use it, he felt that the magnetic needle was very stable and sensitive.

so smooth?

He didn't know much about it, so he called Taoist Xuanyang and asked him to come and have a look.

As soon as Taoist Xuanyang heard that the compass was ready, he rushed from Taiqing Palace to the handicraft shop in less than an hour. When he saw the compass, his eyes lit up like light bulbs, and he said excitedly: "Brother, I knew this job was going to be handy." I'm sure you're right, this plate is really beautiful."

He grinned, "It's useless to be beautiful, the key is whether the magnetic needle is accurate or not. Take a look, I really don't know what to do for the first time."

Xuanyang Taoist nodded, wiped his hands with a paper towel, carefully picked up the large plate with a diameter of 38 centimeters, turned around twice in the hall of the handmade shop with a solemn expression, and then carefully put down the compass, with a quick expression on his face. He piled up a bright smile, "Brother, your craftsmanship is amazing, it's not like making this for the first time, really, it feels smoother to me than the high-quality dishes made by Luo's family."

"Hey hey, it's fine if it's easy to use," he was flattered to be praised by Taoist Xuanyang, but he was still polite, and then asked curiously: "Brother Xuanyang, do you think this plate can be regarded as a piece of food?" Is it a magic weapon?"

He asked this question, of course, not for no reason, but after installing the magnetic needle, the compass actually gave birth to physical properties, that is, it formed its own force field, and it was formed on his hands under his gaze. Yes, but he didn't know how this force field was formed, and he felt that everything happened so naturally.

However, this silent change startled him, and after the shock, he became excited, because if he could find the tricks and rules, it meant that he would have the special skill to "enlighten" his works. It is much more reliable than Xuanyang Taoist's unreliable success rate.

Among other things, the production of "consecration props" in large quantities is a golden road full of financial resources.

But the problem is that he doesn't know the reason for the change of this compass. If he wants to find the trick, he has to rely on the guidance of professionals like Taoist Xuanyang.But he couldn't ask for advice directly, so he could only inquire about the situation around the bush.

Taoist Xuanyang did not doubt that there was him, but he was not in a hurry to answer, but said with a strange expression: "Let's just say, the new compass can't have the effect that a magic weapon can have, but this compass is for me. It feels amazing, as if this is not a new plate that has just been made, but an old plate that has been used for a while. It is easy to use, the pointer is extremely sensitive, but it is very stable. The plate seems to have a weak physical property..."

Having said that, Taoist Xuanyang suddenly raised his head, stared at him with burning eyes and asked, "Brother, have you ever opened this plate?"
