He looked at Xu Jingming, who was sitting on the side, and nodded at him. Xu Jingming put down the teacup and said: "Xiao Li, since you are familiar with Lao Tan, you are not an outsider, I will say it directly, in fact, I asked Lao Tan to bring me here this time, mainly because I want to trouble you." ”

"Oh, Mr. Xu, you are engaged in real estate, and I don't seem to be able to help you much. ”

"That's right, the development of Lao Tan's family is in charge of our company in the first stage. Because they are all old areas, the compensation is relatively in place, and the work of land acquisition has been completed quite smoothly, and now the project is already underway, that is..."

Lao Tan took over and said: "Haha, Xiao Li, don't look at them as real estate, they are also very superstitious." But whenever the project starts, feng shui calculation has to be done, and all kinds of planning are also exquisite, especially when the project starts, it is necessary to carry out a soil reporting ceremony, which is very formal. ”

I nodded, I've heard of this, it's not unusual, according to the metaphysics of feng shui, it is generally believed that it originated from Guo Pu's "Funeral Sutra". In ancient times, it was widely used in the study of the built environment. You pick a cemetery to look at feng shui, and you have to look at feng shui to build a house, so feng shui and architecture have always been inseparable, so that now interior decoration pays attention to feng shui.

Therefore, even in today's rapid development of science and technology, everything that has anything to do with architecture basically has to ask a feng shui master to take a look, although it cannot be said on the surface, but this process is absolutely essential. But this has nothing to do with me, Lin Qingxuan is a Taoist, so it doesn't mean that he can read feng shui.

I smiled and said: "I can understand, there are rules in one line, and although we can't tell the things left by our ancestors, there is still a reason for it." However, Mr. Xu said that he wanted to trouble me, first of all, my company does not undertake such projects, we don't have the diamond diamond, but we don't dare to take this porcelain work. ”

Xu Jingming waved his hand, "The ceremony has been held a long time ago, the project has broken ground, and all the labor and mechanical equipment have entered the site. In order to make the foundation of the building firm, the foundation must be laid. But at the current level of high-rise buildings, ordinary foundations are not enough, and piles have to be driven on the foundation, so that most of the weight of the building is transmitted to a deep position below the ground through the piles to withstand the pressure. ”

"Oh, see, it's that tall thing, knock knock. ”

"Ah, yes, it's that knock knock. Piling is a common thing for our construction company, but this is where my problem lies. ”

"What's the problem?"

"This pile, it just can't be beaten alive or dead. ”

"Hey, could it be that the ground is too hard?"

"We also wondered if it was because the ground was too hard, but according to the geological reports made before the construction, this area should not have such problems. And we have also tried the pilot hole, but the pilot hole is very smooth, after replacing the pile, it still can't go down, if it is forced, it is easy to cause the pipe pile to break, then it is unqualified. ”

Lao Tan explained to me: "The pilot hole is to use an auger that is one to two sizes smaller than the original design pipe pile to drill a hole in the pile position first, and then drive the pile down. If the pilot hole is very smooth, it means that there is no huge rock or too hard stratum underground. ”

"Well, I understand the reason, so can't this pile be played in a different position?"

Xu Jingming smiled, "Xiao Li, you are not from our business, and it is common sense not to know." For example, all architectural designs must first issue construction design drawings for the record, but we can't change them if we say they can change them. And even if it is modified, it has to be modified by the designer, but this change is very big, and many designs have to be modified together. Of course, another reason why we didn't commit changes is that this is the case in more than one stub. ”

"Huh?"

"There are several piles that can't be driven, and they are not in one place, there is no law to follow, if this is changed again, I am afraid that I will not be able to do this project. ”

"Got it, did the experts have anything to say?"

"No, I invited a lot of people to come and see, but they were all puzzled. ”

I spread my hands, "We still haven't gotten to the point." ”

Xu Jingming smiled embarrassedly, "Xiao Li, I also heard him talk about the matter of the house in Lao Tan's house before, and said that he asked you and this little Taoist chief to help deal with it, and I probably have the same idea." ”

I finally understood, and he wanted me to do a ritual for him to exorcise evil spirits. I pondered my tone and said, "The situation of the old Tan family is different, there are dirty things in his house, let's just think so." But this can't be done, can it have anything to do with this?"

Xu Jingming said: "Xiao Li, have you heard of the legend of the elevated dragon pillar in Shenshi?"

"No, what legend?"

"This happened in the 90s, when Shenshi was going to build a large elevated road project, and once this project was completed, the benefits would definitely be for the benefit of the country and the people. Therefore, at that time, Shenshi invited the most advanced and mature construction team in China to carry out the construction. At first, the project went well, but when the north-south and east-west crossed, a major pile could not be driven. ”

"Oh? And this legend. "I'm interested.

"Well, the project is blocked, but it is blocked at the intersection of east and west, north and south, and it is under the most critical main pile. At that time, experts looked through the geological data of Shenshi, there was an alluvial plain, and there was no overly complicated stratigraphic conditions, and after exploration, there were no problems. But the construction team repeatedly studied, and this pile just couldn't be driven in, so the construction was stranded. ”

At this time, some people asked whether to study Feng Shui, maybe there was a breakthrough. Although the construction party believes that this is completely limited by technical problems, it has never been able to solve it, and can only let the proposer try this solution. So the proposer found a monk to see, and the monk pointed out that this was where Fulong was, so he couldn't fight it. ”

"If you want to fight, you need to decorate the sculpture of nine coiling dragons on the main pile, and then fight down, and ask Fu Long to give up the spiritual land. The construction party did so in accordance with this method, and sure enough, the main pile was driven down. ”

I slammed my mouth, "Sounds pretty mysterious, is it credible?"

Tan Yunliang said: "When I heard this story at the beginning, I also felt mysterious. But then I asked my friends, and they told me that under the viaduct in Shenshi, there was really a very unique coiling dragon pillar. And this story has long been widely spread in Shenshi. ”

Su Er looked at his phone and said, "Indeed, this coiling dragon pillar does exist, well, this is it." ”

I looked at the photos on her phone, and I also thought that this pillar was very special, with relatively simple and abstract sculptures of coiling dragons, which formed a huge contrast with the crisscrossed and modern viaducts.

Su Er said: "The explanation of the construction party is that they encountered a hard geological formation, and later changed the construction team, and they adopted three measures, one is to use an eight-ton hammer to drive the pile, the second is to continuously fill the pile with water to lubricate, and the third is to hammer for 18 hours to ensure that the pile is continuously deepened. In the end, the construction task was successfully completed, and looking at the feng shui practice is a rumor and pure nonsense. ”

"As for the sculpture on the pile, it was also specially designed, because the central column needed to support the multi-level overpass, and it was designed as a jumbo with a diameter of 5 meters, a height of 32 meters, and a pile foundation length of 62 meters. For the sake of aesthetics, and in order not to bring visual obstacles to the driver, the construction party specially designed a sculpture for this central column. ”

There is also a widely circulated story among the people, because the monk who said that he was invited revealed the secret of heaven, after pointing out the mystery, he passed away within a few days. According to the person pointed to in the story, he actually died two years later at the age of nearly eighty, which is also different from the legend, so it is not believable. ”

I refilled the tea for the two of them, "Mr. Xu, you see, this legend is not very reliable, I think if you want to do things to exorcise evil spirits, it is better to try their three measures, it should be more scientific." ”

Xu Jingming took a sip of tea and looked at Tan Yunliang again, Tan Yunliang said directly: "Xiao Li, we are all old acquaintances, Lao Xu must be an expert in construction, and he also tried all the methods before he thought of this." Otherwise, you see, please go to the construction site with the trail chief, and take a look, whether it is successful or not, Lao Xu will admit your feelings. ”

When he said this, I don't want to refuse, people also said that they just want to take a look, and then refuse when the time comes, but if you don't even go this way, it will be too bad to give Lao Tan face. I thought it wouldn't be far anyway, and it wouldn't hurt to go and see it, but we wouldn't understand it anyway after reading it, so it would be good to refuse it when the time came. It is also so as not to embarrass Lao Tan, the introducer.

"Okay, then let's go and see, but to be honest, whether it's construction or looking at feng shui, we are not good, if we really can't see any clues, then it is really helpless, we can't delay you, right?" ”

Xu Jingming was relieved when he saw me, "Ah, this is natural, it is necessary to work hard for you to make a trip, and I will do it at night." ”

I turned my face and asked Su Er, "Sister, are you going, let's go and have a look." ”

Su Er nodded, and I grabbed the car keys, "Qingxuan, then let's go over and have a look." ”

Xu Jingming drove in front to lead the way, and I followed behind, "Sister, you said that this pile can't be driven, what can be the reason?"

"I don't know about construction, but I think it's still a geological problem. After all, they are building a resettlement community, not a viaduct in Shenshi, and the construction level and construction standards are not at the same level. ”

"If it's really a technical problem, even if you find a carload of people to open the altar for him, it's useless, you can't just look at it for such a big project, right?"

"It's... yes, they still have to finish the project in the end to make money. ”

There is no mistake
