Chapter 3 Luban Law Bureau
Li Ling hurriedly washed up and hurried to breakfast. People who practice martial arts, especially when they are boiling their muscles and bones during the Ming Jin period, eat a lot of food, not to mention that Li Ling is now the time to grow his body.
As the saying goes, "poor literature and rich martial arts", fortunately, with the current assets of the Li family, they are still eaten by Li Ling. What's more, in the evil US imperialism, one dollar can really buy a lot of things, especially since it was still 1998.
Eating a pot of porridge, two catties of beef, and three steamed buns for breakfast is not a problem for him at all, oh, and four more eggs.
After breakfast, Li Ling drove out of the garage and towards the Punal Valley.
Although this villa area in Manglai, the eastern suburbs of New York, is not a wealthy community, the vast majority of residents are middle-class, and most of them are white.
But the really rich people won't live here, because the neighborhood is adjacent to several neighborhoods that are home to large numbers of Mexicans, Asians, and some less affluent Jews, and is naturally less secure than the wealthy towns of Chabak, Rai, and Amunk in upstate New York.
But Li Ling's family and the third senior brother's family live here, and they are all satisfied, after all, the safer the community, the better the educational resources, and the lower the crime rate, the more expensive the house, and the land tax is especially scary.
What's more, although this community also has security problems, for decades, no one really dared to go to the third senior brother's house and his Li family to cause trouble.
Because almost all the locals know that the Qin family, including Li Ling, knows Chinese martial arts, just like Bruce. Lee's kung fu, when they practiced boxing, they sometimes carried a large grinding disc of several hundred catties on their backs, which stunned a group of white people who came to watch.
Soon after driving out of the community, I got on the East Coast Highway, and after about ten minutes, I got off the highway and entered a hilly and mountainous area, which is the Punal Valley, where there are many lumber mills, wood processing factories and various hardware and paint stores, including the Li family's "Lihua" carpentry factory.
The new foundation of Chen Siye's house, which Li Ling is now rushing to, is located next to a valley in the northwest corner of Punal Valley, and the entire new house is planned and groundbroken, built on the foundation, started the house, erected the house, etc., and is written by Qin Shaonan, the third senior brother of Li Ling, the best Chinese carpenter in Punal Valley.
But the only choice of the site was another person hired by Chen Siye. The location selection is to find the foundation of the house, and the quality of the foundation of the Yang house is related to the luck of the homeowner's family and peace and tranquility in feng shui.
It stands to reason that in modern society, especially in the United States, when people build new houses, they will be operated and built by professional construction and engineering companies with modern equipment.
But this happens to be the Chinese living in the Punal Valley in the United States, most of whose ancestors were Chinese workers who came to the United States in the 19th century to pan for gold, and their descendants have preserved a large number of the old rules and living habits of their ancestors in this corner of the United States.
For example, when building a new house, they will invite a regular carpenter to preside over the construction of Zhangmo, because the Zhangmo carpenter will preside over the construction, which can ward off evil spirits and evil spirits for the new house, and the family will live and work in peace and contentment after the family moves in, and the family and people will be prosperous.
Although there are also white carpenters (carpenters) in the United States, the Chinese living in the Punal Valley will only choose local Chinese carpenters, after all, the Chinese pay attention to and rules when building houses are only understood by Chinese carpenters.
The ancestors of Chen Siye's family were also Chinese workers who came to the United States in the nineteenth century to pan for gold, and today should be an auspicious day, so Chen Siye chose to go to Liang today.
The reason why the local Chinese call him "Ye" is because he is not only the richest Chinese in the Punal Valley, but also in his eighties, full of children and grandchildren, and he is also highly respected in the local area.
At nine o'clock in the morning, the red sun was shining and there were no clouds, and after Li Ling drove into the Punar Valley, he drove to the site of Chen Siye's new house in a short time. Punal Valley is not big, hundreds of Chinese families are familiar with each other, and Li Ling is naturally no exception.
In front of Chen Siye's new roof, the courtyard was full of cars, surrounded by people, and cheers and shouts were endless. Li Ling finally found a parking space.
In the old days, it was a big deal for people to build a house, and the most important and auspicious part of building a house was Shangliang. It is believed that the Shun lĂŹ of Shangliang is related to the tranquility of the yang house and the blessings of future generations, and its lively and grand scene is not inferior to the wedding and other happy events.
Chen Siye's family naturally attaches great importance to Shangliang, and they almost strictly follow the exquisiteness and rules handed down by their ancestors.
Li Ling came at the right time, Chen Siye's new house was set at the right time (ten o'clock in the morning), the time was almost up, Li Ling squeezed into the crowd of onlookers, and saw that the third senior brother, Feng Tiao and Tongzi were all silent on the room rack, and seemed to be waiting for the auspicious time to come.
In the old days, when carpenters built houses, they paid attention to "standing on the frame to recognize the sun, and on the beams". The time of the house erection can be negligent, but the upper beam will not be, to strictly abide by the established time, not in advance, not wrong, otherwise, it is a bad omen.
The third senior brother held a Jiang Taigong god seat in his hand, standing on a purlin, while Feng Tiao and Tongzi squatted on both sides of the room frame, and beside them was the ridge purlin in the middle of the new house, which was the beam of the upper beam.
The general beam lifting ceremony will be composed of three people: a feng shui master, a palm ink carpenter and a small carpenter. Mr. Feng Shui is responsible for the foundation of the new house, as well as some joints, ceremonies and chanting. When the beam is loaded, two carpenters need to lift the beam at the same time, and at this time, the palm carpenter and the small carpenter need to work together.
Therefore, before the palm ink carpenter and the little carpenter climb to the frame before putting on the beam, they should first climb onto the frame and get ready, and when the feng shui master below announces that the "auspicious time has come", they will assemble the "middle ridge purlin" that has been prepared there on the frame, and the beam ceremony is completed.
But today, the feng shui gentleman who chose the site for Chen Siye to find the foundation of the house failed to come for some reason, and Qin Shaonan also served as Mr. Feng Shui.
In the old days, Jiang Taigong was considered to be the righteous god of the folk yang house, and when he went to the beam, Mr. Feng Shui held the throne of Jiang Taigong in order to invite the gods to ward off evil spirits and pray for the safety of the homeowner.
The two of them squatted on both sides of the frame, just waiting for the master's order, and then lifted the purlin beam wood from the middle ridge and snapped it into the card slot left in advance.
When the Chinese in the Punar Valley built houses and put up beams, the scene was extremely lively, pasting gossip, hanging red, setting off firecrackers, scattering grains, singing happy songs, and even lion dances.
After the beam is finished, the carpenter will sprinkle coins and candies on the roof, and onlookers, relatives, friends, neighbors, and especially children, will flock to fight for it.
Ten o'clock is approaching, the third senior brother and Feng Tiao, and Tongzi are ready to go, and it is inconvenient to disturb them at this juncture, Li Ling quietly looked at the new house that had not yet been put on the beam in the crowd.
Suddenly, a burst of gratitude surged in his heart, and the overview and application of the method on the "Wood Scripture" chapter of the "Book of Luban" in his mind about the "Beam Law Bureau on the Shelf" were churning in his mind.
He blinked vigorously and rubbed it again, yes, there was indeed a layer of breath!
Li Ling clearly saw through the new house of Chen Siye, shrouded in a layer of colorless and formless but inductive Hongmeng aura!
"The Judicial Bureau...... Luban Law Bureau! According to the inheritance in his mind, Li Ling reacted instantly, and couldn't help but tremble immediately.
It turns out that the third senior brother can also use Luban technique!
Although he is the only successor of this Lubanshu in his mind, he is not the only inheritor of Lubanshu!
Lu Ban believes that everything in heaven and earth has an aura, and the aura of various things is intertwined and converged, and an atmospheric field - luck will be formed.
Although everything has an aura, but the aura is divided into strong and weak, the aura of a weed, a stone, its aura is infinitely weak, it is equivalent to nothing, such a weak aura, naturally can not form luck.
But if it is a coincidence, this wild grass grows in the mountains and valleys where the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is abundant, or this stone has been buried in the spiritual land with abundant spiritual energy for thousands of years, they will become the so-called heavenly and earthly treasures, and their aura will suddenly increase.
There is also a possibility of enhancing the aura, that is, there are masters of cultivation, who bless the aura of weeds and stones with their own cultivation and mana, so as to enhance their aura, which is also called "enlightenment".
What is the significance of a strong aura? Once the aura of an object is strong, once the common aura formed by it and the surrounding environment converges into an atmospheric field, qi luck will be formed.
Qi luck is a kind of Hongmeng Jingqi, and whether it exists or not can affect the specific environment in which it is located and the creation and transportation of specific objects. The so-called luck, blessing, joy, wealth, and official luck are actually "luck".
To Li Ling's surprise, he actually found the Luban Law Bureau on this new house composed of brick walls, wooden frames, and stone slabs!
Brick walls, wood, and stone are all common things in the world, and their own aura is extremely weak, but now, their aura has converged on this new house, forming an atmospheric field - luck, constituting the Luban Law Bureau in Luban Technique - Beam Law Bureau!
In this shelf beam law bureau, the change of the aura of all things in the house, the change of luck and the loss and disappearance of qi will be noticed by people who are proficient in Luban art, although this is a man-made blessing of Luban law.
Li Ling looked at the third senior brother on the shelf, and in an instant, his mood was already clear.
It is no wonder that most of the Chinese people on the East Coast of North America will ask the third senior brother to build a new house for them.
The third senior brother is also proficient in Luban technique!
With his own cultivation, he blessed the aura of the new house building materials, and after a series of method operations, the new house formed a frame beam law bureau, so that the new house had luck!
The new house has luck, and the owner of the house will be under the blessing of luck, and everything will go well, and the family and people will be peaceful.
Thinking of this, Li Ling couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, he was not the only one in this mysterious realm.
The third senior brother who has been a carpenter all his life is actually a middle-aged person!
It seems that the master of the third senior brother and his own ancestor ...... Li Ling just fell into deep thought, and suddenly felt something strange in his vision!
"What kind of aura is this?!" Li Ling's heart trembled, but when he saw that the new house was on the shelf, a slightly scarlet substantiated air flow suddenly poured in!
As soon as the scarlet air flow poured into the Law Bureau, it slowly rendered this layer of Hongmeng Qi, and in the Hongmeng Dynasty, the luck of the Law Bureau began to slowly dissipate!
At this time, Li Ling naturally knew that once the luck dissipated, the law was broken, and the luck and creation of the new house began to erode - the luck has been dispersed, will the people who move in the new house still have luck and blessings?
"All things in heaven and earth, the aura of the single body is colorless, evidenceless, and traceless, but this aura is colored and tangible, and there are traces and traces, which is ...... Stacked aura!! Li Ling suddenly shouted, startling the onlookers in front of him.
"Oops! This upper beam is estimated to be yellow! Li Ling immediately wanted to squeeze into the crowd and want the third senior brother to take a peek at the surrounding things, but he heard Qin Shaonan suddenly shout: "...... Jiang Taigong is here, there are no taboos! The auspicious time has arrived, on the beam! â
Li Ling looked at his watch, and sure enough, it was exactly ten o'clock!
On both sides of the shelf, as soon as Fengtiao and Tongzi heard the master's order, they immediately lifted the beams and stuck them in the card slot.
"Huh?!" The maple and the paulownia that lifted the beam made a sound at the same time.
The beam in your hand can't get in!
No matter how you calibrate the direction, the beam just can't be in position to snap into the card slot that has been left in advance!
Suddenly, Fengtiao and Tongzi were already sweating profusely, and they carried heavy beams and trees, swinging around, anxious like ants on a hot pot.
Gradually, the crowd of onlookers and Chen Siye's family discussed, and Chen Siye's face was covered with dark clouds, and he could see how unhappy the old man was at this time.
