God-level Golden Hand

Chapter 1104 Dataization

The one-meter-high small-leaf red sandalwood carving of Guan Gong is a standard standing statue, which portrays the image of Guan Gong in a very mighty manner. Standing there, it is almost like Guan Gong descending to the earth. The eyes are really a bit of a martial saint, which is unsettling. Dare to look directly.

It can be said that the craftsmanship of that Guan Gong statue can already be regarded as the best grade in the current woodcarving industry.

However, how should I put it, Guan Gong seems to be a very popular subject, and the image of the characters has been fixed, so there is not much room for innovation left to the creators. Most woodcarvers basically cannot do without it when carving Guan Gong. Apart from the images created by the predecessors, the movements, demeanor, background and even the eyes will not change much.

There is no way, the image of Guan Erye is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The red rabbit horse with cold saws, chest and long beard and green scarf hat are standard equipment and cannot be changed at all. If you really don’t want Guan Erye to wear a green scarf hat, you can wear it A helmet is replaced by a scarf, or a burqa is replaced by armor, but such changes are dispensable to Guan Erye's haunting image.

In this way, future generations will inevitably be restrained when shaping the image of Guan Erye. Let alone innovation, it is considered good craftsmanship to be able to fully and vividly express the image designed by the predecessors.

The small-leaf red sandalwood standing statue of the Second Master Shuguan offered in Tang Deming Hotel is no exception. Although the carving is good, it does not give people a bright feeling. In layman's terms, it lacks aura.

In addition, this is a hotel, a place where the doors are opened to welcome guests from all over the world, a place where guests from all over the world are welcomed, and a place where wealth and blessings are brought in. It is really inappropriate to have such a statue of Guan Gong.

In fact, it is not uncommon for Guan Erye to be enshrined in hotels. Many business places offer Erye Guan.

But can the assembly-line casting bought in a handicraft store compare with this kind of god statue carved out of precious wood?The difference in physical properties is so great that one is in the sky and the other is in the ground. If the physical strength of the two is digitized, if the physical strength of those handicrafts cast by machines is 1, then the physical strength of the statue of Guan Gong enshrined in Tang Deming Hotel is is 100.

Don't think that this Guan Gong statue is not worth mentioning in Xu Jingxing's eyes, but that is Xu Jingxing's standard. In fact, compared with other wood carving works, this Guan Gong statue is indeed a fine wood carving work. And it is without calculating the material.

However, because of this, this kind of Guan Gong statue with a physical strength of 100 points can be freely offered. If the offering is not good, it will not only be of no benefit, but even have disadvantages.

On this point, Xu Jingxing has the right to speak, even the "professional" Taoist Xuanyang in the eyes of ordinary people is not as good as him.Don't forget, when Taoist Xuanyang was still pretending to be a god, he had already created a number of Fengshui props that could "suppress the earth", "accept wealth" and "gather vitality", and the effects were still very significant.

In foreign style terms, it has withstood the test of time and customers.

Therefore, he is a real professional in the production and placement of "feng shui props".

Take this statue of Guan Gong as an example. It is a valuable and exquisite woodcarving work wherever it is placed. It can also become a qualified Fengshui prop in some places and bring a lot of benefits. But it is not suitable to be placed in a shop like a hotel that welcomes guests and accepts money, because this statue of Guan Gong is too "fierce". Standing outside, one could see the blade gleaming with cold light.

At the same time, Second Master Guan's eyes were wide open. Although he looked quite normal and warm, his eyes were slightly drooping, and he didn't have that aggressive aura.

However, there is a common saying that "Guan Gong does not open his eyes, and he wants to kill people." Therefore, traditional woodcarving masters basically do not open their eyes for the second master when they are carving Guan Erye. The ones with squinted eyes, only those statues of Guan Gong who are suppressing evil spirits are the "Kuan-eyed Guan Gong", in order to demonstrate the killing momentum.

Obviously, a place like a hotel is not suitable for enshrining Guan Gong with open eyes - there are no ghosts in this hotel, right?
And it's not enough to talk about it from the traditional point of view, but also from Xu Jingxing's point of view.

From Xu Jingxing's point of view, the physical nature of this statue of Guan Gong is relatively fierce, and its attribute is the kind with strong aggressiveness. Placing it in the hotel will cause certain oppression or even harm to the customers in the store. Ordinary people who are strong will not come here to stay in the hotel. Even if they want to come, they will feel uncomfortable when entering the door, which will lead to temporary exit.

In superstitious terms, this is broken fortune.

Of course, 100 points of physical strength seems to be a lot, but in fact it will not really affect people's work and life, unless you stand in front of this statue of Guan Gong every day or live in the lobby of the hotel every day, it will take a long time. His own true nature caused a certain amount of damage, and if it took longer, it would leave Tang Long's injury, but it was much weaker.

why?Because the physical strength of 100 points is really not high, because if calculated by this standard, the physical strength of those lucky cats carved by Xu Jingxing for Li Bin is 1000 points per each, and the big lion carved in Dacheng Mall The physical strength is 20000 points, and the physical strength of the Golden Silk Nan Lu Zuxiang carved in Xiaoqingshan is even closer to [-] points.

Is this comparison straightforward enough?
So the physical strength of this mere one hundred points is really nothing.

But even so, side effects are side effects, and what's inappropriate is inappropriate.

After Xu Jingxing saw the problem, he didn't hide anything, and pointed out the problem directly. Of course, what he said was rather vague, and he only said that this statue of Guan Gong is not suitable to be placed here, and it will "lose money" to a certain extent reaction.

Tang Deming was not surprised when he heard the words: "My brother is indeed an expert, and he found the problem as soon as he entered the door. Yes, although my hotel is only a four-star hotel, but because of the good location, the business has been very good since it opened in 2000. , until after the renovation in 30.00, the business declined a lot, the turnover was [-]% less than before, and even the hotel staff often made troubles, especially the front desk, most of them left after a few days, and some even said My hotel is haunted..."

Isn't this nonsense?
The little girls at the front desk stand in front of such a "fiend" every day, and it's no wonder they can stay for a long time. "Haunting" is naturally not a rare thing, even when ordinary people are intruded by strange things under certain circumstances. There will also be a feeling of "haunting", but most people think it is a hallucination and don't care about it, but if such hallucinations occur every day, it is really "haunted"!
