The buildings next to the pond have long since been demolished and razed to the ground, and even the foundations are not visible. This is also the reason why Fan Li has been researching for several years, but he never thought that there was a building next to it.

After all, he always thought that this place was just a pond. Once a person is caught in the tip of the horns, it will definitely be difficult to climb out. Fortunately, he had enough patience and often came to the village to study, and after getting acquainted with the relationship with the villagers, he learned the truth from the old people in the village.

The buildings next to the pond have been destroyed for a long time, and I am afraid that even the young people in the village do not know that there were once some buildings next to the pond. Without the help of the old people in the village, it is estimated that Fan Li would not have been able to successfully restore the feng shui bureau in the village after a lifetime of research. This also confirms the importance of interpersonal relationships.

Fang Yuan was not an immortal, it was impossible to know the cause and effect of the matter with a finger count, he definitely needed to inquire about Fan Li.

Fan Li did not hide it, and said bluntly: "Next to the pond, there was originally an altar, which was not only the public activity center of the village, but also the place where the village was used to worship heaven and earth, welcome the priests, celebrate and public gatherings. ”

"Next to the altar, there are three other big houses, which are the ancestral halls of the village. However, during that special period, the altar and ancestral hall were demolished. The bricks and mud were taken to fill the pits, and the wood was picked up and burned as firewood. ”

Fan Li sighed softly: "Since then, the feng shui bureau in the village has declined. ”

“…… This is a creation of iniquity. The villagers mourned: "The ancestral hall has been demolished, and even the ancestors are no longer recognized." No wonder the village's situation is getting worse every year. ”

At the same time, Old Man Pei speculated: "In this way, the mystery of Feng Shui. In the altar and ancestral hall? ”

"Haha, almost, almost." Fan Li smiled and said, "Brother, let's talk privately about this matter later, don't disturb Master Fang's research situation." ”

"The feng shui bureau in the village is already scattered, and the clues are not very clear, so it is difficult to study." Fang Yuan smiled bitterly. Unless he learns from Fan Li, asks the old people in the village little by little what buildings there are in the village, and then classifies and unfolds them. In this way, it is possible to restore the feng shui shape shì in the village.

Otherwise, it will definitely be a very difficult thing to push the feng shui bureau backwards on the broken feng shui ruins. The clues are incomplete and the key information is missing. It's hard for a good woman to cook without rice.

"Master Fang. There's no hurry. Fan Li smiled and said: "If you can't study it today, then you will continue tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, anyway, you are out to travel, and it will not be too bad for a few days." ”

"Uh......" Fang Yuan smiled and said, "Yes." ”

At this time, the villager finally understood and said in surprise: "This little brother is a feng shui master? ”

"yes, what. Do you look down on people? Fan Li said: "People are professional feng shui masters, looking for dragons and points, attracting wealth and turning evil away." That's what he does. It's not like I only know the law, and I don't have the ability to bury and urge officials and dignitaries. ”

"Ah, disrespect, disrespect." The villager was skeptical, but on the surface he was polite. After all, if he doesn't look at the face of the monk and the face of the Buddha, he will definitely give Fan Li face.

"Uncle, don't listen to Senior Fan, he's testing me." Fang Yuan said with a smile, and then changed his words and sounded: "Uncle, there was a master who gave your village Feng Shui back then, what are the regulations in it, do you know?" ”

"Master Fang, don't ask, he definitely doesn't know." Fan Li smiled and said: "At that time, he was not born yet, and it was almost the same to ask his father." ”

"Uncle Fan, don't say it, I really know some of the situation." The villager argued, smugly, "I probably don't even know what my dad knows." ”

"Really?" Fan Li was naturally skeptical.

"Absolutely." The villager smirked and said, "Uncle Fan, you don't know. The other day there was a rain and the wind blew so hard that it blew off a lot of tiles from the backyard of my ancestral home. When the rain is over, I'm sure I'm going to go up to the beam to mend the tiles, and guess what I found? ”

"Huh?" When the others heard this, they immediately thought about it.

Fan Li is a person in the rivers and lakes and has seen a lot of things, and when he heard it, he was immediately surprised and asked, "Is there something hidden on the beam?" ”

"That's right." The villager patted his leg and respectfully said, "Uncle Fan, you are still accurate." That's right, when I set up the ladder to go up the beam, I swept the dust on the beam, and then found that there was a dark grid on the beam, and there was a small package in the dark grid......"

At the critical moment, the villagers paused, apparently selling Guanzi. The little fat man couldn't help but ask, "Uncle, tell me quickly, what's in the package?" ”

"Hehe, Uncle Fan should know that the house in the backyard of my ancestral house is my grandfather's bedroom. When my grandfather died, the house was empty. The villager said: "So after I found the package, I could immediately conclude that this thing is definitely my grandfather's relic." ”

"I'm afraid you don't know, my grandfather was also a character back then. In the late Qing Dynasty, he was also a showman. If it weren't for the abolition of the imperial examination by the imperial court, maybe he would have been able to raise people and jinshi. ”

The villagers sighed: "Although my grandfather was born a little out of time, he is also a talented person, and in the past he can be called a gentleman, and he must be very famous." I wondered if what he left behind might be a treasure......"

"yes." The little fat man thought so: "Maybe it's precious antique calligraphy and painting or something, literati, if you don't collect a few calligraphy and pictures, you're embarrassed to greet people." ”

"Yes, yes, I think so, too." The villagers nodded their heads.

"No......" At this moment, Fan Li shook his head directly, carefully looked at the faces of the villagers, and then said with great certainty: "The package is definitely not anything valuable." ”

"Uh......" The villager was stunned, and then said with a wry smile: "I almost forgot about it, Uncle Fan, you are a great minister, and you can't hide it from you." ”

"It's nature." Fan Li was a little proud: "Seeing that your wealth and palace are mediocre, and you don't have the slightest bright color, you know that your income has been stable recently, and there is no sign of a windfall." ”

"Alas, yes, there is no windfall, just empty joy." The villager shook his head and sighed, and didn't bother to pinch it, and said directly: "After I found the package, I opened it excitedly, but found that there were actually several books inside, and they were also handwritten copies. ”

"But after I finished repairing the roof tiles, I went home and looked through a book and made a new discovery."

At the right time, the villagers smiled: "I found that among the several books, two of them are our family's genealogy, and the remaining two are some of my grandfather's notes from that year." In the notes, there are some records of the master helping our village to be able to enjoy feng shui......"

"Really?" In an instant, everyone's eyes lit up and they were surprised.

"Uncle Fan, I don't dare to lie to anyone." The villager smiled and said, "If you don't believe me, just come home with me and I'll show you the notes." ”

"So what are you waiting for, hurry up and go." Fan Li didn't say a word, and took the lead to leave. Anyway, he also knew where the villagers' homes were, and he didn't have to worry about finding a place.

Naturally, the others quickly followed, and soon arrived at the villagers' houses.

Walking to the door, Fang Yuan took a closer look and found that the villagers' houses covered a large area, with a front hall and a backyard, plus more than a dozen large houses, which were scattered around the patio, which was quite imposing.

No wonder the villagers say that their ancestors are the family of the gentry, and this is the biggest basis. But it's a pity that no matter how broad the ancestors are, they have little to do with the descendants of later generations. The villagers are now also reduced to farming for a living, and the scenery is not there.

In addition, no matter how imposing the house is, after decades of wind and rain, the roof of the wall and eaves has gradually become old, and it has lost its former brilliance, and even shows signs of decay.

Perhaps for today's young people, no matter how vast this dilapidated ancient building is, it is estimated that it is not as comfortable as a modern cement house of dozens of square meters.

Of course, if the city is developed here, then these dilapidated mansions will be very valuable. It's not the house that's worth, it's the land that's worth, that's the reality.

But thinking about it, it should be a long time later, and now the villagers of the whole village have no money to renovate the new house, so they can only live in the ancestral house, tinkering from time to time, and getting by......

"Squeak!"

When he came to the door, the villager directly pushed the door open, then turned around and smiled: "Come in, everyone, sit in the hall first, and drink a glass of water." ”

Although the house is a little dilapidated, the ground is very clean. It's certainly not spotless, but there's absolutely nothing rubbish. If you look closely, you can see that the ground is made of green bricks stacked horizontally, and the bricks are very dense, forming an orderly pattern texture.

Fang Yuan walked through it, and it was inevitable that he sighed a little. Although the craftsmen of the old society could not afford to build high-rise buildings due to the limitations of materials, their attention to various details has developed to the pinnacle of perfection.

As a professional designer, Fang Yuan naturally knows that ancient buildings pay attention to detail, compared to modern buildings, they may be built very tall, but they are very rough.

But no matter how rough the building is, it can't stand the high efficiency and vast space of people. If a house is built according to traditional craftsmanship, similar to the mansion where the landlord lives in Lao Cai, it will not be repaired in a year and a half. However, under the conditions of the same living area, it is estimated that the modern worker will be able to do it all in a month or two.

The result of the pursuit of efficiency is naturally a gain and a loss, and there is certainly no traditional big house in the details. Anyway, after entering this mansion, Fang Yuan's eyes wandered, and he found many things with great meanings.

Door frames, walls, column bases, window lattices, beams and other places have all been carefully carved to form beautiful stone carvings, brick carvings, wood carvings, and painting ornaments.

Of course, these exquisite ornaments, with the passage of time, faded little by little to the grandeur of the past, slowly covered with dust and dim, without the slightest brilliance...... (To be continued......)
