Volume Two Dusty Memories Chapter Thirteen The Ancestral House of the Jiang Family
A group of people followed Pihou towards the west of the village, walking on the only road to the deep mountains. Since they have to worship the mountain gods every year, although this road is a mountain road, it is also spacious. This mountain road is winding and stretching, like a long dragon.
At the end.
It was late autumn, and the ground was already covered with fallen leaves, just like a golden road. But the quiet environment always made people feel extremely weird. The six-year-old great-grandfather always felt that this was more like a road to hell, and they were walking on it.
Climb up to the Yellow Spring.
There are sparse locust trees on both sides of the mountain road, and some locust trees are dead, and their teeth and claws are very scary. Not far away, you can see a few faint hills, and the small graves on them seem to form a big bagua.
Grandpa frowned and thought this
There seems to be something hidden under the tomb. Fortunately, there is a majestic tower on the top of a slightly higher mountain. The top of the hexagonal glazed tower has a gray tower body. The whole tower has an indescribable solemnity, each one
The tower clock will ring once every hour, which brings peace of mind.
Just walking here, there are already children who are afraid and hesitate to move forward. When fighting, they are most afraid of a deserter, because once there is one, there will be a second, third... This
It's the same thing with time. After the first scared baby appears, fear begins to spread quickly like a plague.
The younger baby started crying loudly, and the whole team was in chaos for a while. The original forest environment was already extremely scary, and with the baby's cry, the sound was blocked by the locust trees and hills everywhere and reverberated.
The sound seemed even weirder.
Pihou knew that he was going to do something bad. He was afraid that the baby would definitely be disobedient, so he shouted loudly: "Why are you crying when you have something to eat? Go back if you are afraid, and follow if you are not afraid."
After all, he was still a baby. While he was scaring him, he was thinking about the wild fruits in the mountains. He quickly stopped crying. One of them, the thirteen-year-old slug, sniffed the snot that had been hanging all year round and said hesitantly: "Brother Pihou,
There are graves on the mountain, are there any ghosts there?"
"Where is the ghost? Have you seen it? Dad comes here to collect medicine on weekdays. Did you see anything wrong with him?" Pihou is a leader, telling facts and reasoning.
"But, look, there are grave mounds there, and dead people are sleeping in them." Slug was reluctant. As soon as he said these words, the dolls began to purse their lips again, and it was clear that they were about to start crying again.
"What are you afraid of in the graveyard? Our grandfather's grandfather is there. Even if there is a ghost, will the whole family harm us?" Pihou said this in a snap, and continued to march forward with a wave of his hand.
This trick works, and it makes sense, but you feel a little unsure. Pihou is also afraid that the slug will ask some more questions that he can't answer, so he simply takes the lead and leaves, leaving everyone busy to keep up.
Scared.
But no one noticed a little boy in the team, a six-year-old baby. That was Grandpa. This little guy had a small frown on his face. He never cried a word from beginning to end, just minding his own business.
What are you thinking about.
What was thinking in my little mind was not whether there was a ghost in the grave, but a question that a child should not consider.
It turns out that Grandpa Grandpa's family was originally a scholarly family. Although he became lonely later, he was still more or less particular. Among the rural people, he was poor and fastidious. No matter whether he was poor and fastidious or rich, these things were all in Grandpa Grandpa's family.
The family is deeply rooted. The most important thing for a large family is nothing more than the yin and yang of Feng Shui, and the grandpa's family is no exception. The elders in the family always mention it, and more or less the children in the family will also know something about it.
In the past, my great-grandfather always felt that the thing was too ethereal, and it always sounded like a mist, and he could not see clearly. But this time, my great-grandfather's mind suddenly became clear, and he saw this thing clearly. Great-grandpa
What was on my mind was the word Feng Shui, and the origin of this thought started with the Jiang family itself.
Although the Jiang family is located in the countryside, there seem to be many secrets hidden in this family. Not to mention the people in the country, some of them are even unknown to their own children. Grandpa Grandpa would not have known these things originally, but he was naughty and loved to dig through things.
, I saw some in a handbook
, I know a little bit about it. In fact, thinking about it this way, my great-grandfather can be regarded as a child prodigy, but there are many children in the family, so no one cares about it. My great-grandfather doesn’t like others to regard him as a monster, and he doesn’t care about anything.
Hiding in his belly, he didn't show much intelligence.
Let’s talk about the ancient Jiang family. The ancestral home of Grandpa Grandpa’s family is located in the center of the village, and the village is located due west of the county. Every family has only one ancestral house, but the Jiang family of Grandpa Grandpa is different.
There are two ancestral houses of the Jiang family.
These two ancestral houses complement the layout of the county. If it were announced, it would definitely be shocking. Let’s talk about the layout of the county first. The county is divided into the east and west sides by the Xujiang River, a branch of Ganjiang River. The extreme east is Qiantian and the west corner is Kun.
There is a temple in the east and a square pagoda in the west. The entire county has become a yin and yang Taiji diagram, and Xujiang River is the thing that divides yin and yang.
However, the existence of a temple and a pagoda has existed since ancient times. It is said that the person who built this county was a Feng Shui master, and the temple and the pagoda were famously built by him. It is in the east temple that the fierceness of Anyang is calmed down and peace is achieved.
The pagoda in the west is located at the fish eye of yin. The pagoda in the west suppresses the gnawing energy of yin and ensures peace. It is also the fish eye of yin. The two complement each other, which is just right.
The Jiang family's ancestral house is divided into two, and is located around the Yin and Yang fish eyes. The Jiang family's ancestral house was originally located in the Yin fish eye, so the Jiang family's ancestors built another house in the Yang position. Because the roots are in
In the Yin place, people drink water and think about the source. If the roots are cut off, they will be like a fish out of water. People cannot be divided into two. It would be too troublesome to switch back and forth between Yin and Yang.
Therefore, the ancestors of the Jiang family secretly dug a secret room in the Yangchu ancestral house, where everyone's spiritual tablets were enshrined. This was the living temple. The Yinchu ancestral house also had a place for spiritual tablets, which was the ancestral hall for the deceased ancestors.
.The shape is in the yin position, yin is warm and nourishing, and the intention is in the yang position, masculine and nurturing. The ancestor of the Jiang family tried to do this, so that the descendants of the Jiang family can take advantage of yin and yang from generation to generation.
But wherever there is a good thing in the world, you can take it all by yourself. As the saying goes, the yang must be yin, and the taiji will come. The gestation of yin and yang is too perfect, but it is not a good thing. There are many descendants of the Jiang family, and it is often difficult to die well. As for Jiang
Ergou, that is, my great-grandfather's generation, if he changes his feng shui, it will be a thing for another time.
The note ended abruptly here. If you look closely, it looks like someone tore off the second half. This scene always makes people feel that the person who wrote the note had something to say, but it seemed that he had revealed a secret, and was destroyed by future generations.
to avoid disaster.
At this time, six-year-old Jiang Ergou was lost in thought when he accidentally caught a glimpse of the six-story glazed pagoda in front of him. Faintly, he saw something incredible. He saw the vague black energy surrounding the pagoda.
Drill in, it won't take long
A faint golden aura spread out, and the golden aura seemed to turn into little raindrops and fell on the tomb. A word flashed in Grandpa Grandpa’s mind: Yin pole must be yang, and yin produces yang. At that moment, Grandpa Grandpa seemed to touch
We have reached the threshold of Yin and Yang.
Just by being careless, my great-grandfather had already fallen far behind the team. My great-grandfather was also afraid that he would be left behind by the team. After all, this place seemed a bit eerie even if he was alone.
Grandpa ran away quickly, trying to catch up with the team in front. However, he found that something was wrong with his running, because at this time he was following a group of people in white.
Pihou and Loach didn't know where they had gone, and there was only a long team left in front. Only the backs of those people could be seen. They were wearing long white clothes and wearing tall white hats on their heads. Suddenly, Grandpa discovered that these people
Human feet never touch the ground. (To be continued)
