Chapter 231 The dragon is low and the tiger is high
The sun gradually shifted upwards, and the small courtyard was warmer.
The black-faced man squinted at the sky, then his eyes widened, and he shouted with full anger:
"The auspicious time has come!"
"Into the beam!"
As soon as the words fell, the sound of firecrackers "crackled", and the crisp and loud voice seemed to announce something to heaven and earth.
The four carpentry masters lifted the beams up to the roof in all directions, and sang, "Go up! Come on! Good luck! ”
The black-faced man sang:
"The sunrise in the east erects a golden beam,
The new Huatang is jubilant.
Zodiac auspicious day tree jade pillar,
Crape myrtle stars shine on the golden beam.
Longpanzhu, Fengdengliang,
The host's house is smooth and auspicious! ”
The wood master put the wooden beam steadily, and Yu Dayou put the red dates, peanuts, rice, wheat, and evergreen five kinds of auspicious objects brought by Yu Daquan and Yu Erzhu into the red cloth bag, and hung them in the middle of the wooden beam, which means "blessing, Lu, longevity, happiness, and eternal green".
After hanging up the red cloth bag, Yu Dayou stood on the roof and held the basket with both hands, and the wood master put the food and fruits wrapped in the red cloth into the basket, and shouted:
"Bag after bag, catch the treasure!"
Immediately afterwards, the masters stood on the roof, carrying a basket containing steamed dumplings of various shapes, and while grabbing the steamed dumplings and throwing them down from all sides, they sang:
"Throwing the beam to the east, the east sunrise is full of red; Throwing the beam to the west, the unicorn sends the son to hang double happiness; Throw the beam to the south, and the children and grandchildren will be the champions from generation to generation; Throw the beam to the north and hoard white rice at the end of the year! ”
The villagers crowded in the courtyard scrambled one after another, and from time to time someone shouted happily, "I grabbed a 'gold ingot'!" "I grabbed a 'rabbit'! ”。
For a while, the courtyard was full of laughter and excitement.
After the "beam throwing" is over, the people gathered in the courtyard disperse, and a space is vacant in front of the house, and the sun's rays shine from the sky into the house and onto the beams.
When the "beam" ends, the entire beam ceremony is over.
After the ceremony, the table can be opened.
Several men set up the tables and stools, and were about to call the women in the kitchen to prepare to serve the food, when suddenly they heard a "clang" in the room, and a young man who happened to be standing at the door immediately shouted nervously:
"Liang is crooked!"
Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and the black-faced man and Yu Dayou hurriedly ran into the house, and saw that the original flat roof beams had fallen down for some reason in the east at this time, and became low in the east and high in the west.
The east end of the beam is carried by the master of the dragon, representing the "green dragon" and the other end representing the "white tiger", which must be lower than the green dragon in feng shui.
At this time, the new beam of the house was crooked, not to mention, but also committed the taboo of "the dragon is low and the tiger is high", everyone's faces became suspicious, and some people quietly moved a few steps out.
"This ...... What's going on? ”
Yu Dayou looked dazed, completely unsure why this happened.
The black-faced man walked under the beam with his hands behind his back, raised his head and looked back and forth several times, only to see that there was no trace of damage to the position of the beam, and the wooden beam was still intact, and there was no decay or decay, and it was really hard to imagine how the wooden beam was crooked.
"It's probably because the wooden beam was a little biased when the beam was put on the beam before, so let's do it again."
The black-faced man groaned.
There was no other way at the moment, Yu Dayou sighed and agreed with the black-faced man's statement.
Several carpentry masters tied back the strips of red cloth that had just been untied from their waists, and repeated Fangcai's steps in addition to "receiving the bag" and "throwing the beam".
The wooden beam went back steadily, and this time the black-faced man and Yu Dayou deliberately carefully looked at a few parts that held the wooden beam, and after confirming that there was no problem, he retreated again.
Who knew that they hadn't taken a few steps, but they only heard a "clang" behind them, and the two of them immediately turned around to look, but saw that the east end of the beam fell again.
Liang was crooked again.
"What's going on?"
At this time, the villagers gathered outside the door were also confused, this is good, how can the beams of the house be crooked?
"I'm afraid it's not an evil one, right?"
Someone guessed.
His idea was immediately echoed by a number of people.
"I see, eighty percent of them are so. In this blue sky and white day, no one does anything else, this house beam is crooked, it is not an evil thing, what else can it be. ”
As soon as this person's words fell, a few villagers on the side quietly took a few steps back, a little farther away from the hall, and a few more steps back, they could go directly out of the courtyard.
The black-faced man frowned and looked at the beams, no matter how he looked at it, he couldn't see anything wrong.
The beam is crooked in the process of the beam is taboo, only the house can be blessed by the owner, if it is crooked, then the house is not so suitable for people to live.
And the beams are extremely important for a house, and if the beams are crooked, it is not a good sign.
The black-faced man frowned, and asked Yu Dayou to set up a table in front of the house, on which incense burners, candles, and a pot of wine were placed.
The black-faced man let everyone disperse, walked to the desk by himself, lit three incense sticks, poured the wine into the wine cup, spilled it on the ground, and recited the words in his mouth:
"On an auspicious day, heaven and earth are opened, and everything is auspicious. Born in the deep mountains, the original surname is Jin Niang, the disciple invited Ru to be the middle beam, Lu Ban Immortal Master did it himself, and the order of peace was rich for ten thousand years. A glass of sake toasts the beam's head, and the main family is the champion from generation to generation. A glass of sake toasts Liang Wei, and the main family is full of guys from generation to generation. A glass of sake toasts Liangzhong, and the main family enters the grange from generation to generation! ”
When the pot of wine was spilled and the incense was just burned out, the black-faced man breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head and said to Yu Dayou and the wood masters who were waiting on the side:
"Beam again."
Yu Dayou had been staring closely at the black-faced man's every move, and when he heard the other party's instructions, he immediately responded nervously, and the same wood master repeated the steps of putting on the beam again.
After getting on the beam this time, Yu Dayou and the black-faced man did not leave again, but stood under the beam and stared at the beam with their heads raised.
The two stared at the incense stick for about a while, and when they saw that there was nothing abnormal, they were about to breathe a sigh of relief, but they saw that the beam seemed to be pushed by an invisible hand, "clang", the east end sank down, and the beam was crooked again.
At this time, the black-faced man couldn't help but change his complexion, he had chosen an auspicious day for the surrounding people for more than ten years to preside over the beam ceremony, and he had never encountered such an evil thing!
Yu Dayou looked at the appearance of the black-faced man and became uneasy in his heart, and at this time, the villagers gathered outside talked louder.
"Look, I'll just say, the beam has not been successful three times, what else will this be besides hitting the evil spirit?"
"It shouldn't be, it's good, why did it hit the evil spirit? There are two people who are kind-hearted and don't deal with messy people, so there's no reason to encounter this kind of thing. ”
"The two of them are naturally kind, but what about their children? Don't forget where they got the money to build a house, an eight-year-old girl doll who has been in school for a few months has such a great ability, can you believe it? ”
