God-level Golden Hand

Chapter 680

After Xu Jingxing briefly explained his conjecture to Yin Xiaojing, he continued to look at other objects.

Yin Xiaojing asked thoughtfully: "You mean, the old lady or the old lady's family got these objects from a certain temple?"

"I can't guarantee this. It may be picked up, it may be bought, it may be stolen, or it may be snatched. When the four old things are broken, such things are everywhere. It's not difficult to collect some words," he replied while cleaning the metal rod that stirred the chicken food.

Yin Xiaojing snorted, did not continue on this topic, but stared curiously at the metal rod in his hand, "What is this? Hey, why do I look a bit like the legendary Vajra?"

He grasped the cleaned metal rod and looked at it for a moment, then shook his head with a smile, "You are mistaken, this is not a vajra."

"When I was an intern reporter, I interviewed an old craftsman who specialized in making Buddha statues. I saw such a small object from him. The style and shape are almost exactly the same. It is what they call a vajra." Yin Xiaojing argued hard, and finally He also snorted: "Don't think that I really don't understand anything, hum, I'm a reporter here, maybe I don't know a lot, but I have seen a lot of strange things."

"Hey, so you are a layman," he said with a smile: "In Buddhism, there are generally three kinds of hand-held short instruments used by Buddhas, Arhats, and Vajras. , These three instruments look a bit similar, but in fact they are quite different, different shapes have different names, the one in my hand is the Subduing Demon Pestle, not the Vajra Pestle."

"Ah? Why do I see no difference? The hollow structure is very similar," Yin Xiaojing was a little puzzled.

"That's right, the vajra and the subduing magic pestle do have a certain degree of similarity in structure, but they are also very easy to distinguish. The hollow structure you mentioned is the most common lantern structure among Buddhist instruments. There is such a thing on the tin staff of the Tang monk. However, both ends of the Vajra Pestle are of lantern structure, while Jiangmo Pestle has only one end of lantern structure and the other end of three-edged spike structure. Introduced by Tantric Buddhism, it symbolizes the boundless mighty magic power."

"You didn't make it up, did you?" Yin Xiaojing still doesn't believe it. After all, this thing is really complicated for ordinary people. Even some Buddhist priests can't figure out the specific differences. In terms of structure and shape, these three instruments are even integrated intentionally or unintentionally, making it even more difficult to distinguish them.

But this is an old object. The craftsmen of that era did not care about their recklessness when making such utensils. If they were not careful, they would be charged with a crime of blasphemy. Most of them will be destroyed in the first place, and it is almost impossible to pass them down.

Therefore, such old objects will basically not have errors in shape and structure, and there will be absolutely no mistakes in identifying them according to the theory.

When he said this, Yin Xiaojing suddenly realized, "What about the vajra prong?"

"The overall shape of the vajra prong is similar to that of the demon pestle, and it also has three-edged spikes, but the end is not a lantern structure, but a Buddha or Bodhisattva statue wearing a five-skull crown, and there will be a horse standing on the top of the five-skull crown. The head symbolizes wrath and surrender, and when Buddhist priests open the altar, they often put these four vajra prongs on the four corners of the altar, which means that the altar is as strong as a vajra and is not afraid of invasion by foreign demons."

His memory is much better than that of ordinary people, and he will basically not forget the things he has seen. It just so happens that he himself has dabbled in a lot of things, so when it comes to these things, he basically knows them at his fingertips, and there is no need to look up information temporarily.

This is an insignificant matter to him, and it is not worth boasting about, but in the eyes of Yin Xiaojing, who is at the side, this confident look is as powerful as the combination of yin and yang. Really spring tide.

Confident and dedicated men are not as attractive to women as at 01:30.

Fascinated, Yin Xiaojing stared straight at his side face, then pointed to the palm-sized conch and asked, "I can talk about everything else, but isn't that just a white conch?"

He smiled, "This is not an ordinary conch, but a legendary conch. People often say 'big blowing conch' refers to this kind of thing, and it is also one of the eight treasures of Buddhism. It is a complete set with that amphora Provider."

"So sure?"

"Well, first you look at the direction of rotation of the threads of this conch."

"Rotated to the right? Isn't that unusual."

"Yes, right-handed conch is not uncommon. Only right-handed conch is qualified to be a French conch, but white right-handed conch of such a large size is not common, and this conch's appearance has traces of smoke. , indicating that it has been worshiped by incense candles, and the most important thing is the perforation on the conch," he said, pointing to the pen-thick perforation on the mouth of the conch, which was originally worn by a hemp rope, which he just pulled out.

Yin Xiaojing looked curiously, "What happened to the piercing? Isn't it normal?"

"No, it's not normal at all. Don't underestimate this piercing. The piercer is very skillful and very careful when piercing, so the piercing hole is very round and there is no crack around it. I just looked at it. The layer of dried mucous membrane around the small hole is very complete, which was not something that any craftsman could do in ancient times, and not all conch shells are worthy of such careful drilling."

Yin Xiaojing turned out the magnifying glass in disbelief, looked at the small hole carefully for a long time, and then praised with admiration: "You are really amazing, you can even notice such details, and you still say you There is no research on appraising treasures, I think, this vision alone can kill most of the so-called appraisal experts in seconds."

"Haha, you're exaggerating. I know how many bowls of dry rice I can eat," he laughed.

"This is not an exaggeration at all. Last year, there was a treasure appraisal program on the station, and several appraisal experts were specially invited from the province. They all pretended to be decent, but when they opened their mouths, they were professional terms. It sounds like It's amazing, but it's actually nothing dry, it's just some big fool," Yin Xiaojing complained dissatisfied.

"It's because you didn't invite the powerful ones. I have seen a few powerful ones, and their eyesight can turn me into a dregs in seconds."

"Tch, just keep being humble," Yin Xiaojing snorted, then pointed to the "trap" in the room and asked, "Are they really worthless? Why do I feel that the magic pestle and double Ear bottles should sell for around [-] to [-]?"
