emperor?
Imperial bell?
Fang Xiu was unfamiliar with this term. He was not well versed in history.
But that doesn't matter, it's enough that someone is proficient.
He called the previous experts again.
The gray-haired expert held the Imperial Bell in his hand and secretly marveled.
"Is this really the bronze bell from yesterday? The power of the spiritual weapon is indeed miraculous. Before, it was so dilapidated that it could only be barely recognized as being from the Han Dynasty. Unexpectedly, it has been restored to its original state, as if it were brand new."
"This object is called the Emperor Bell. Does Professor Zhang know its origin?" Fang Xiu asked.
Professor Zhang carefully identified it: "Looking at the appearance alone, it does look like an imperial bell, but it only has a bell body, no handle, and no tongue inside the bell. It may be that it is too old and has been damaged or lost."
A defective item?
Fang Xiu thought thoughtfully, the incomplete Imperial Bell could slow down the flow of time in the area, so what kind of power should the complete Imperial Bell have?
"What is the Imperial Bell?"
"The Emperor's Bell is an important Taoist ritual instrument, used in Taoist priests' sacrificial practices. It is also known as the Sanqing Bell, the Dharma Bell, the Dharma Bell, and the Bell Book.
It is a musical instrument with talismans, idols and scriptures engraved on it.
It is generally about 20 centimeters high and 9 centimeters in diameter. It is made of brass and has a handle and a tongue inside the bell. It is like a small bell with a long handle, but the mouth at the bottom of the bell is not lotus-shaped but flat.
The imperial bell is usually held in the hand, so the Dharma pestle, which is at most an inch long, is where the hand is held. The upper end is called a sword, and it is shaped like a mountain to symbolize the Three Pure Ones, namely the Yuanshi Heavenly Lord of the Yuqing Dynasty, the Heavenly Lord of the Shangqing Lingbao Mountain, and the Daode Heavenly Lord of the Taiqing Dynasty. It is recorded in Volume 5 of the "Tai Qing Jade Book" that the Taoists say that holding an imperial bell in one's hand can throw fire thousands of miles, and that the bell will hit eight times..."
"Okay, that's enough." Fang Xiu was not interested in hearing history and directly interrupted Professor Zhang's long speech.
Professor Zhang opened his mouth with some unfinished thoughts, as if he still had a lot of knowledge to talk about.
Fang Xiu fell into deep thought, important magic weapon? Sacrifice practices?
It's just that the name Emperor Bell doesn't sound pleasant to the ears, so it would be better to call it the Wei Emperor Bell.
Adding the word "guilty" makes it sound much better.
He had a vague guess in his mind, and he was going to verify his guess next.
"Professor Zhang, you seem to know a lot about antiques. Do you have any collections?"
Professor Zhang smiled slightly: "Captain Fang also likes antiques? There are indeed some treasures in the old man's home."
"Let's go to your house."
Professor Zhang was stunned: "Now?"
"Well, now."
He didn't expect that Captain Fang was actually a collector, so he couldn't wait to do it.
"Okay, I'll prepare the car."
Fang Xiu shook his head: "No, where is your home? Point to the direction."
Professor Zhang was confused, but he still followed the instructions, pointing out the direction of his home and telling him the name of the community.
Fang Xiu picked up the phone.
"Call the fat man."
.......
.......
After a while.
Under the leadership of Fatty, Fang Xiu came to Professor Zhang's home.
Professor Zhang looks like an expert and scholar, but his home is very luxurious.
One floor of the nearly 400-square-meter villa is dedicated to antiques.
As soon as Fang Xiu entered it, he felt as if he had fallen into a strange den.
A one-hundred-square-meter room was packed with dozens of strange animals.
The unknowing Professor Zhang was squeezed in the strange place, proudly introducing his collection.
"This piece came from an official kiln in the Ming Dynasty..."
Fang Xiu did not listen to Professor Zhang's introduction, but followed the strange gaze and picked up a porcelain vase.
Sure enough, as the porcelain vase was picked up, several strange eyes were immediately attracted.
He put down the vase and went to get other antiques to experiment one by one.
Eventually, he concluded, not all antiques attract spooky attention.
"Professor Zhang, are all your collections real?"
When Professor Zhang heard this, he immediately blew his beard and glared: "Captain Fang, you can question my character, but you can't question my vision.
In this house, I can be fake, but things can never be fake! "
Is it all true?
It seems that it is not antiques that attract strange things, but some special antiques.
So Fang Xiu began to ask one by one about the origins of the antiques that attracted weird things.
Half an hour later.
He gradually understood everything.
Basically, antiques that attract weird things are relatively famous, symbolic, and worshiped objects.
Just like the Cunning Emperor Bell.
As an important magical weapon of the Taoist sect, the Wei Emperor Bell has a lot of symbolic meaning, and it can even be regarded as a symbol.
In summary, conclusions are drawn.
Not only people can become spiritual masters, but also objects.
It’s just that they are called spiritual weapons after they light up their spirituality.
Spirituality is the power of the mind, but it has never been stipulated that the power of the mind can only exist in living creatures.
Sometimes some symbolic items are also used by people to express their spiritual feelings.
For example, if a sacrificial item is worshiped by thousands of people day and night, and is left in history and passed down from generation to generation, then this item will contain a lot of spiritual power.
And when the power of the soul comes into contact with something strange, a chemical reaction will occur. Just like a person becomes a spiritual master, these items will also become spiritual weapons.
Spiritual weapons are similar to spiritual masters, while strange weapons are similar to weird ones.
As for why spiritual weapons are generally stronger than treacherous weapons, it may be because the spiritual weapons were formerly antiques, containing the spiritual power accumulated by countless people over countless years. Once they explode, they are powerful.
But the strength between spiritual weapons and magic weapons is not absolute.
Just like Baoshijie is not necessarily more expensive than Benchi, it still depends on the model. There are million-level Benchis and Baoshijies worth hundreds of thousands.
Fang Xiu realized that this was definitely an amazing discovery.
This means that once done properly, it will not be a dream for everyone in the future headquarters to have a magical weapon.
And as the captain, he may not be unable to obtain a spiritual weapon similar to the Xuanyuan Sword.
Because this is the Kingdom of Xia, a country with the longest history in the world and the only existing ancient civilization.
Its historical heritage is unmatched by any other country.
With such a huge historical heritage, it is not difficult to find a few artifacts.
"Professor Zhang, the time has come when the headquarters needs you. These antiques are all spiritual weapons and I need to take them away." Fang Xiu said suddenly.
Professor Zhang: "Ah!?"
"Don't worry, the headquarters will purchase it at a price higher than the market price. Fatty, get to work and pack up all the items I ordered just now."
"Okay, Brother Xiu."
"Hey, this is not about money, this is all my treasure!"
"Headquarters will not forget your contribution and take it away."
In the end, Fang Xiu and the fat man left with their bags packed, leaving Professor Zhang alone in the house crying while looking at the empty room.
