PS: Please give me a monthly ticket in the middle of the month, please support me, thank you.
“…In short, it is the history of the village’s revival.”
At this time, Fang Yuan talked happily: "That Yu Jinshi has been an official for decades and has accumulated a wealth of thousands of yuan. After he retired and returned home, he immediately built a large-scale construction, built bridges and roads, and repaired the ancestral hall..."
"Of course, these are not the key points. The key points are that the person who presided over the construction project is a famous Feng Shui master." Fang Yuan touched his chin and said, "The book says that the Feng Shui master used the ancient method of tasting water in Xiangtu. He lived in the village for more than half a year. After understanding the situation around the village, he re-examined the direction and orientation of the village."
"What is the method of tasting water in Xiangtu?" Bao Longtu said inexplicably: "It is easier to understand how to taste water. It should be to detect the quality of water. If the water is bitter, it is definitely not suitable for drinking, but what is going on with Xiangtu?"
"Smart." Fang Yuan praised it and said with a smile: "In fact, the so-called ancient method of tasting water in the land is to put it bluntly, it is to imitate the routine of Wu Zixu building Suzhou City during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period."
"You must know that the predecessor of Suzhou City, that is, the planning and construction of Helu City, was carried out completely under the guidance of Feng Shui theory." Fang Yuan explained: "In ancient books, it is recorded that Zixu used Xiangdi to taste water, to resemble the sky and the earth, to build a big city!"
"The method of tasting water is as you said, to detect the quality of water. It is auspicious to use the smell of water, and it is warm in winter and cool in summer; it is arbitrary to use the taste of water, but it is arbitrary to use the deep and turbid and odorless. As for the method of physiognomy, it is to use a special scale to weigh it."
At the right time, Fang Yuan smiled and said, "One bucket of soil. Six or seven kilograms are bad, eight or nine kilograms are good. More than ten kilograms are good. The reason why we need to taste water is mainly because Feng Shui believes that all stones should be delicate and can be chiseled, the soil should be solid and difficult to hoe, and it is unlucky to be dry and loose. Water is the source of life. Without water, there will be no people, and auspicious places must not be without water."
"In other words, the ancient method of ecology and soil water taste is equivalent to modern geological and hydrological reports."
While speaking, Fang Yuan also sighed a little: "As early as thousands of years ago, the ancients had already consciously carried out such a very 'technological' content. It can be seen that at that time, Feng Shui was the most authoritative 'science'!"
"Don't sigh." Bao Longtu said with interest: "So after reading the book, you feel that the Feng Shui master has arranged a Feng Shui pattern in the village?"
"That's right." Fang Yuan nodded and said, "After all, this is to lay the foundation for the Feng Shui of a village. No one dares to take it lightly, so as not to smash his signature. The Feng Shui master conducted a field investigation for more than half a year before he dared to plan and start construction. He was very capable. If he had changed to an ordinary Feng Shui master, if he had not studied it for two or three years, he would probably not dare to take action."
"Is it so exaggerated?" Bao Longtu shook his head and said, "I think if it were an ordinary Feng Shui master or a cheating charlatan, he would definitely not bother to study for so long, but to directly display it."
"You think it's so beautiful." Fang Yuan smiled and said, "You think ancient times are the present. Few people understand the essence of Feng Shui, and they are unaware of it even if they are deceived. You should know that ancient Feng Shui is common sense. Especially those scholars, they basically have some research. It's not that easy to deceive them. They are afraid that they will not be able to cheat, but they will be beaten to death..."
"It seems to be the same!" Bao Longtu grabbed the tip of his nose and immediately changed the topic: "You haven't said it yet, what is the Feng Shui pattern in the village?"
"If I read it correctly, it is very likely that it is a plum blossom shape." Fang Yuan pondered: "Yes, it is probably a plum blossom shape Feng Shui situation."
"Plum blossom shape?" Bao Longtu said in surprise: "How did you see it?"
"Didn't we just walked around the village?" Fang Yuan explained: "How many kinds of things have we found in total?"
"Four kinds." Bao Long's picture lists: "First, broken walls; second, an ancient well; third, a temple of wealth; fourth, this old osmanthus tree in front of you."
After listing it, Bao Longtu said in confusion: "Does the four things have any meaning?"
"That's right, not only has meaning, but also has profound meanings." Fang Yuan smiled and said, "In addition, according to my speculation, those broken walls should be a tall tower before they collapse!"
"High Tower?" Bao Longtu blinked and hesitated: "Why do you think it is a high tower?"
"Even if it is not a tall tower, it should be a very tall building." Fang Yuan affirmed: "Only in this way can it conform to the Feng Shui layout of the plum blossom shape."
"Can you explain it clearly?" Bao Longtu frowned and said, "What should the plum blossom-shaped Feng Shui layout look like?"
"The plum blossom shape, or it should be the plum blossom money situation." Fang Yuan slowly explained: "That is the deformation of the long-lived wealthy plum blossom money. The tower represents long-lived water, and the well water is the source of life, so it represents life. The Temple of Wealth is the symbol of wealth. As for nobleness, it is the homonym of osmanthus. Long-lived wealthy is all complete."
"Of course, a standard plum blossom money should have five words on the front: long life and wealth, and the back is five auspicious patterns: ingots, bats, deer, longevity peaches, and magpies, meaning wealth, fortune, longevity, and jubilee."
Hearing this, Bao Long flashed a light and interrupted, "The ancestral hall in the middle of the village seems to have these patterns."
"Haha, I just want to say it." Fang Yuan nodded immediately and smiled: "Why is it said to be a long life to keep wealth? Because keeping the word "guard" is the key. Whether it is wealth, blessing, fortune, longevity, or jubilation, only if you can keep it, is your own. Therefore, you need to use the ancestral hall as a town and gather the incense power of the people of the whole village to form a plum blossom-shaped Feng Shui bureau."
Speaking of this, Fang Yuan sighed softly: "But what a pity!"
"What a pity?" Bao Longtu said curiously.
"It's a pity that the Feng Shui of Hedong in thirty years and the Hexi in thirty years, the Feng Shui of the plum blossom shape is inevitably broken." Fang Yuan shook his head and sighed: "The tower collapsed, the well was sealed, the Temple of the God of Wealth, the ancestral hall is deserted, there is no incense offering, and only an old osmanthus tree is left to support it, but it is hard to support it alone and cannot be formed."
"...whatever."
After a moment of silence, Bao Longtu reminded: "It seems that it is already past two o'clock, I don't know if Mr. Yu is here."
"Yes." Fang Yuan nodded and signaled: "Let's take a look in the village."
"Okay." Bao Longtu had no objection.
For a moment, the two turned around and headed towards the village, and disappeared soon after. They did not look back, so naturally they didn't know that after they walked away, three figures immediately came out behind the huge old osmanthus tree.
These three figures are an old man, a middle-aged man, and a young man. When Fang Yuan and Bao Longtu walked deep into the village, a strange look appeared in the old man's eyes, and then turned around and said, "Master Liu, what do you think?"
"...I'll keep wealth and honor for a long time, and the plum blossom-shaped Feng Shui system!" A bitter smile flashed across the corner of the middle-aged man's mouth, but he couldn't lie against his conscience. He could only sigh: "If the layout in the village is consistent as his description, then it would be a true insight and a fearful life for the younger generation!"
The old man was silent for a moment and suddenly said, "Master Liu, how about accompanying me for a trip?"
The middle-aged man naturally knew what the old man wanted to do, but it was difficult to refuse, so he could only nod and agreed.
In an instant, the three of them started with the old osmanthus tree and then walked around outside the village. After a moment, a temple of God of Wealth appeared in front of them. As Fang Yuan said, the temple of God of Wealth is very deserted, with dead branches and leaves all over the ground. No one has come to burn incense for a long time.
The old man glanced at it, flew directly over, and continued to walk forward. After a few minutes, he could see a closed ancient well. He stopped for a while and continued to walk.
Not long after, the three of them stopped in the broken walls. The old man looked a little nostalgic in his eyes and said softly: "When I was young, in the ancestral hall, under the big trees, next to the small temple, next to the ancient well, and this broken tower grassland, it was our amusement park. In a blink of an eye, decades have passed, and the memories that should have been blurred seem to be vivid in my mind. It's really strange."
Middle-aged and young people are very sensible and do not speak up to disturb the elderly recalling the past.
After a long time, the old man turned around and asked, "Master Liu, if you build the tower again, open the well to get water, expand the temple of the God of Wealth, and hold a grand sacrificial activity in the ancestral hall..."
"no!"
Knowing what the old man wanted to say, the middle-aged man shook his head without hesitation and said, "Feng Shui turns around. In the broken Feng Shui situation, the vitality has shifted. It is not possible to solve the problem by erecting the tower again."
The old man was silent, and after a while, he asked, "Is there really no way?"
"It's hard to collect the water." The middle-aged man smiled bitterly and said, "It's too difficult to turn things around."
"That's right, it's me that I'm trying to make things difficult." The old man nodded and suddenly asked, "Master Liu, do you think that young man has an idea?"
The middle-aged man's eyelids twitched and he didn't know how to reply. If he wanted to say that the other party had a way, wouldn't that seem incompetent? If he wanted to say that the other party had no way, he was not sure about the amazing deeds he had recently found...
Seeing that the middle-aged man had not responded for a long time, the old man was a little surprised and then thought: "Master Liu, it seems that you know him, judging from him."
"No..." The middle-aged man shook his head instinctively, then realized his disobedience, and immediately smiled bitterly: "Yes, it's hard to know and ignore it."
I felt that the middle-aged man's tone was wrong, and the old man couldn't help asking: "From Master Liu's opinion, your relationship with him seems not very friendly."
"The opposite is true." The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "I have a relationship with him. Everyone has similar temperaments and can chat with him."
"No, why do I feel like Master Liu doesn't want to see him?" The old man smiled. With his current status, he could basically speak and act without restraint. At least in front of middle-aged people, he didn't have to worry about it.
The middle-aged man sighed and said frankly: "If I were somewhere else, I would like to have fun and have a careful exchange with him. But in this case, I hope he will fade out of my sight immediately, so as not to ruin my good things again."
"Why do you say again?" The old man was very interested.
