Shen Rushan and Xiao Dajiang climbed to the roof, looked at the three inverted citrons, and their expressions suddenly became solemn. Craftsmen have some methods, usually just a small punishment. However, pressing three inverted citrons on other people's roofs, this kind of What he did was very sinister. It was going to cost the family money and life.
But it doesn’t make sense. The people who lived in this house before were all prosperous, and the people who live in it now are also prosperous, and they are not affected by this citron at all. Is this kind of thing really a feudal superstition?
"Master Shen, is this citron leather really so particular?" Tian Daosen asked.
Shen Rushan said: "There was indeed such a feudal superstition in the past, but it cannot be taken completely seriously. Take this house for example. The person who lived here before was the most famous rich man in Taipingqiao, and his family was prosperous. Now Tiantian The mayor lives here, and his family are all state cadres. So, how can this feudal statement be taken seriously?"
Xiao Dajiang is not as smooth as Shen Rushan. He does not agree with Shen Rushan's statement. These three citrons are like three sharp swords hanging above his head, which may bring unpredictable bad luck at any time. But Shen Rushan is Xiao Dajiang's senior brother. , Xiao Dajiang naturally found it difficult to contradict his senior brother in front of outsiders, so he sat aside silently.
Li Zhengkui was very angry when he saw that his views were described as feudal superstition by Shen Rushan: "This is not feudal superstition. Pushing down the citron is a way for your carpenters to harm people. I heard that the house of Mayor Tian's house is old. It's been smashed by hail every year. Isn't it because of these three citrons? There are so many houses in Taipingqiao. Have you ever heard of any house where the tiles on the roof were smashed by hail? The tiles on the mayor's house in Tian Town are all. Good terracotta tiles may not be broken even if they are hit with ordinary small stones, but they still cannot avoid hail every year. I think it is the fault of these three citrons. If Mayor Tian hadn't been lucky, he would have lived like this I'm afraid of damage to my house."
"Master Li, how do you deal with this situation?" Tian Daosen asked.
Li Zhengkui was extremely excited when he saw Tian Daosen asking him for his opinion: "These three inverted citrons are very important. We need to replace them with three new citron skins. In this way, this house will be much more peaceful in the future."
Replacing three citron peels is not a very troublesome matter. If it really works, there will be no need for the roof to be damaged by hail every year. No matter how firm Tian Dawson is, he will still be suspicious when hail hits the roof every year. So. , after hearing what Li Zhengkui said, Tian Daosen was still tempted.
Xiao Dajiang said quickly: "Mayor Tian, let me tell you, it's best not to touch these three citrons. Although we in the carpentry profession do have such a saying, placing three citrons on someone else's roof is a means of harming others. But are these three citrons secretly placed here by the carpenter, or are they a deliberate Feng Shui tactic? These three citrons are not necessarily aimed at the owner. These three citrons are facing the door, so they are not necessarily detrimental to the owner. I don’t know. I understand Feng Shui, but I think it’s not too troublesome to pick up the tiles once a year. As long as it’s beneficial to the people living there, it’s not a big deal. Now I’m rashly replacing three pieces of citron skin, just in case something happens. If it’s an accident, it’ll be troublesome.”
Tian Daosen was a little hesitant, but before he could speak, Li Zhengkui spoke first: "You, the carpenter master, are really bad. I think you just don't want to look at Mayor Tian. That's right, this situation was set up by your carpenter master. It's bad." It’s your carpenter’s reputation. You’re so conciliatory because you just want to restore your carpenter’s reputation.”
Shen Rushan glanced at Xiao Dajiang complainingly, blaming Xiao Dajiang for not meddling in other people's business, but since Li Zhengkui targeted their fellow apprentices, Shen Rushan could only bite the bullet and defend Xiao Dajiang: "What did you say? My junior brother just said that he doesn’t understand Feng Shui and doesn’t know if these three citrons are Feng Shui tricks made by Feng Shui masters. If you understand Feng Shui and feel that these three citrons should be replaced, then just change them. We don’t understand. Don’t dare to interrupt.”
"My apprentice knows a little about Feng Shui. I'll go down and ask him." Xiao Dajiang said and went down the stairs.
Shen Rushan was very upset when he heard what Xiao Dajiang said. He didn't want to get into trouble with Mayor Tian's family. Such good intentions may not necessarily pay off. He quickly followed him off the roof.
"Dajiang, why don't you listen to me? Are ordinary people like us meddling in the mayor's family affairs? Besides, how old is your apprentice? What kind of Feng Shui does he know?" Shen Rushan was half-dead angry.
Xiao Dajiang is a person who accepts death: "Even though he is young, he really understands. He grew up with the old Taoist priest in the Zushi Temple. His Taoist practice is higher than that of the old Taoist priest. The old Taoist priest went out to travel, so I asked him to learn from me. carpenter."
Xiao Dajiang walked up to the little Taoist priest: "Chang Xing, can you tell me whether these three inverted citrons can be exchanged?"
"If you don't want anything to happen, it's best not to change it," the little Taoist priest said.
"Why?" Xiao Dajiang asked.
"The site of this house is not good. I don't know how much hatred the owner of the house had against the person who showed the site to him, but he actually chose such a sinister place for him. It is known as the place where five ghosts haunt the house. If there is no accident, the residence People in this house have no peace. It doesn’t mean that hail falls every year and the roof is smashed every time. It’s all because of the feng shui of this house. Every year when the yang energy reaches its maximum, the yin energy will also Reaching the extreme, the two merge together, and it would be strange if no hail falls. The three inverted citrons are well placed. Under normal circumstances, the inverted citrons are three hanging sharp swords that will definitely hurt the owner. But these three inverted citrons are different. Like three inverted citrons Like a sharp sword pointed at the courtyard gate, the ghosts did not dare to approach the gate. Instead, the evil place was covered up. Now if the inverted citron is replaced, it will be in big trouble. Without the protection of these three sharp swords, this house There will be no peaceful days." The little Taoist priest said.
The voice of the little Taoist priest was neither too quiet nor too loud, and everyone around him could hear it, including Li Zhengkui and Tian Daosen who were still on the roof.
"Speaking of nonsense, you are such a scumbag, you still know how to read Feng Shui. If this house is a dangerous place where five ghosts haunt the house, something strange will happen! Who in Dapingqiao doesn't know that this house used to be lived by a wealthy man in Taipingqiao? The whole family has become prosperous. The family of Mayor Tian who lives now are all state cadres. If this house is a dangerous place, then all the houses in Taipingqiao will become a ghost place." Li Zhengkui said disdainfully.
Tian Daosen frowned and looked at the three citrons, as if they were thorns in his eyes: "Forget it, the skins of these three citrons are also a bit rotten, so let's replace them. Master Shen, can you please fix them?"
Shen Rushan quickly shook his head: "Mayor Tian, I really don't dare to interfere in this matter. Because I don't understand. Installing three citron peels is not a big deal. But if it concerns the Feng Shui Bureau, I don't dare to touch it."
