Although Yanjing Antique City is not far south along Huawei South Road, and there are many antique cities nearby, such as Tianya Antique City and Hongyubo Antique City, Yang Jing really doesn't want to hang out in those kinds of shop-style antique cities. It is really difficult to find bargains in those kinds of antique cities.
Helplessly, Yang Jing could only apologize to the driver and then stroll back along Warwick South Road.
The wives of the fourth and sixth sons were brought back in the evening, and they would definitely have a gathering. There was no point in going far away at this time, so we might as well go back to Panjiayuan for a stroll. It was better than nothing.
After a while, Yang Jing walked back to the Panjiayuan Flea Market again against the north wind.
Compared to the hustle and bustle in the morning, there are much fewer people at noon, and this is the time for lunch. The air in the market is filled with the aroma of food.
As he walked, he asked the stall owners a few questions. Some of them even greeted Yang Jing, but most of them were indifferent, just like in the morning. Yang Jing didn't take it as an offense, anyway, this was the way the market was now.
Yang Jing even thought maliciously whether he should use the "disguise" skill to disguise himself as a foreigner. In that case, he wouldn't need to ask. As long as he stood in front of the stall, the stall owners would definitely come to curry favor with him.
In the eyes of these stall owners, foreigners are just fat sheep with lots of money and stupidity!
Strolling to the shops in Ding Pai, after walking a few steps, Yang Jing's eyes were attracted by the golden swords hanging outside a shop.
The name of this shop is very interesting, it is called "Money Connects the Four Seas". Obviously, this is a shop that mainly deals in ancient copper coins.
There are two large money swords hanging on the left and right sides of the store door. These four swords are all made of golden copper coins. It is the most typical money sword made of 108 copper coins.
The Golden Coin Sword is also called the Copper Coin Sword. In ancient Chinese history, this sword made of copper coins and tied with cinnabar talismans was used by Taoists to exorcise ghosts and demons. In modern times, this Golden Coin Sword is more often used as a magical tool to ward off evil spirits.
Ancient copper coins have experienced thousands of years of baptism and have very powerful abilities. Moreover, copper is regarded as a lucky item in Feng Shui, which can dissipate the earthiness of the two black and five yellow elements and has a very strong effect in dispelling evil spirits.
In Taoism, this kind of money sword can be divided into several different specifications. There is a seven-star sword made of twenty-one copper coins, and there are also money swords made of thirty-six, forty-nine, and seventy-two copper coins.
Of course, the legendary Qiankun Money Sword, the highest level, is made of 108 different copper coins, representing the thirty-six heavenly generals and seventy-two earthly evil spirits.
It is said that in Buddhism there is a Bodhidharma sword made of eighty-one copper coins...
However, although the four swords hanging at the door of this shop are also made of 108 copper coins, they are obviously not the legendary Qiankun Swords. These four swords are just made of the same kind of copper coins.
The main reason is that nowadays Taoist wizards rarely show up in society to exorcise ghosts and catch monsters, so this kind of money sword is now mostly used to protect the house.
If your home is not clean or you often see flashes and get goose bumps, you can place the Money Sword at the door and outside the windows to prevent ominous things from entering. If you bought a new house and feel that there are always noises at night, you can hang the Money Sword in the center of the living room. If your home faces hospitals, temples, tombs and other places that are prone to evil spirits, you can hang the Money Sword high in the home, in front of the door or on the window, which can play a role in warding off evil spirits and easily protect safety and eliminate evil spirits. If there are villains around you, bad luck, and gossip, you can wear the Money Sword with you or place it in the office or bedroom. If there is a bad peach blossom around you, wearing the Money Sword can also resolve it.
The Money Sword has incredible power to ward off evil spirits in Chinese Feng Shui. However, although it is easy to use, it cannot be used too much, let alone used indiscriminately, otherwise it will cause a big mess.
Because from the perspective of Feng Shui, the shape of a sword is long and pointed, which indicates lethality. Wherever the sword points, there is evil spirit. Therefore, if you hang the money sword in your house without professional measurement and positioning by a magician, it will affect the people or objects that are hit by the sword and cause adverse effects. The most direct impact is that it is not good for the health of the people in the house, or it is easy to cause accidents, bloody disasters, etc., and it also causes fractures and falls.
In addition, the copper coin sword is used to protect the house and ward off evil spirits. If the purpose of exorcising evil spirits has been achieved, the sword should be put away. Usually, the copper coin sword is not suitable for use as a decoration, unless you are engaged in an industry with evil spirits such as the military or police. Otherwise, ordinary people should not touch this thing for a long time.
Ordinary people really have no control over this thing.
However, the owner of this shop is obviously quite knowledgeable. Just by looking at the positions and postures of these four swords, you can tell that the owner of this shop must understand Feng Shui, otherwise he would not place the swords in a group of two, with the tips of the swords intersecting and pointing directly to the ground. The two groups of swords are like the weapons in the left and right hands of the door gods, guarding the door.
Those who collect antiques and run antique shops all know some knowledge of Feng Shui. The owner of this shop was able to arrange the four money swords in this position, which obviously shows that he also knows this knowledge.
Yang Jing carefully avoided the direction of the sword tip and looked at the four golden swords from the side before nodding, pushing open the door and walking in.
The area of this store is not very large, but it is filled to the brim. Looking around, all you can see is nothing but copper coins, a whole world of copper coins.
"Welcome!" As soon as Yang Jing entered the room, the boss who was eating put down his chopsticks, stood up and greeted Yang Jing with a smile.
The boss was in his forties, not very tall, with a shrewd look on his round face. "What would you like to order, sir? I have everything from knife coins and shovel coins from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period to Yuan Datou coins from the Republic of China period. Even if you want to appreciate the fifty rare ancient coins, I have some of them here."
Hearing what the boss said, Yang Jing nodded slightly. A boss who dared to say that he had a part of the ancient coins worth fifty yuan was definitely not an ordinary copper coin dealer. This boss should also be a collector. After all, having a part of the ancient coins worth fifty yuan was not something that ordinary people could do.
Yang Jing waved his hand at the boss and said, "Boss, please eat first. I'll just take a look. If I see anything I like, I'll serve you."
The boss said cheerfully, "Okay, then you just watch first, and if you need anything, just call me directly."
Yang Jing then slowly began to look at the copper coins in the store...
PS: I would like to thank "alin"2000 for the reward!
