Chapter 222: Liang Nail
"Hmm... It's kind of interesting..."Regardless of whether the old man who is talking to him at this time is true or not, all the feng shui layouts displayed in this house are true or false, and this family tree alone is very intriguing."
The old man seemed to realize that Chi Jing's attention was no longer on chatting with him, but on the family tree. He was suffocated, couldn't hold back and asked, "Girl, is this genealogy appropriate?" β
"Quite detailed." Chi Jing didn't raise his head and continued to check, and his mouth kept making a "tsk" sound, which seemed to have completely ignored the old man.
The old man suddenly hated iron and steel: "Girl, do you still want to go out?" β
"Huh? Oh, old man, you're still there. Chi Jing was taken aback by the sudden and angry words, and then he remembered the old man he was talking to.
The old man was speechless.
"Old man, do you know the people in this house?" Chi Jing glanced at the ten lines, quickly closed the family tree, and asked curiously.
β... Recognize. The old man was silent for a moment.
"Is it true that the number of people in this house is always kept at seven?" Her eyes lit up, and it was best to have someone in the know.
β... How do you know? The old man was stunned.
"It's written on this genealogy." Chi Jingyang raised the genealogy in Yang's hand, which was recorded in great detail, even much more detailed than the Nian Geng book, and everyone was recorded from birth to death. She couldn't help but regret: "For every person who is born, someone will die within a year." Life and death, cruel enough. β
The most difficult thing is that the number of people has been maintained at seven, and ordinary people really can't use such yin tricks.
"Does the girl know why?" The old man's vocal cords trembled, and deep indignation was buried under the trembling.
"Yes!" Pool net is crisp and straightforward.
...
"Girl, please speak!" The old man was visibly excited.
"If I'm not mistaken, it should be that the feng shui in the house has been completely broken, and nails have been buried in the beams." Nails are buried in the beam, one of the most damaging tricks. Chi Jing thought for a while, looked around, and asked, "Is there a wooden ladder in this house?" β
"Yes, but in the miscellaneous room." The old man said, and pointed out the direction of the miscellaneous room to her, and soon, Chi Jing moved a wooden ladder.
She was already nimble, and she climbed onto the beam in two strokes. Instinctively, he drew his dagger and began to draw about seven inches of wood on the beam. The old man didn't say anything, but Chi Jing could feel his nervousness.
There was a "ding" sound, and it was the sound of a dagger hitting metal.
Sure enough, it's here! The outer layer of the wood looks like a log, but it has been covered with a layer of the same color as the original wood to hide the nails in the wood!
Soon, she scribbled left and right, and the caps of seven nails appeared on the wood. She exhaled lightly, was silent for a moment, and called into the air, "Old man." β
"Girl." The old man responded almost immediately, and unlike the peace at the beginning, there was a faint respect in the "girl" called this time.
"What is your relationship with this family?" Chi Jing finally asked.
"I'm this... The last one. The old man hesitated, but finally answered.
"The last one? Why not the last seven? She suppressed the question that had reached the point of curiosity in her heart and asked another question.
In fact, she wanted to ask this old man if he was the last person or the last ghost in this house...
"I don't know why, but this generation has ended with me." No one for a generation, and that's it.
In the past, there were indeed only seven people left in each generation, but in his generation, he was the only one left.
Chi Jing pondered by herself, and the old man didn't bother her. Suddenly thinking of something, Chi Jing asked again: "Since the number of people is abnormal, are you the seventh generation?" β
"Hmm... Yes, really! The old man was a little stunned when she mentioned it.
That can be explained, seven nails are buried in seven inches, and only seven people are left in this house, and only seven generations are punished.
...
"Girl, why can the nail on the beam punish the house?" The old man asked one last question.
"The beam, on behalf of the official completion of a house, so the beam is the most important ceremony after the construction of the house, to choose an excellent zodiac auspicious day to carry out this ceremony, on the beam should be careful not to touch the mold." Chi Jing Dao has repeatedly emphasized the importance of beams.
In ancient times, people wanted to go on the beams, from the material of the beams to the taboos of logging, from the specifications of worship to the meaning of the songs, all of them were better than walking on thin ice, and there must be no mistakes.
As the saying goes, a country cannot be without a king, a family cannot be without a master, and a house cannot be without beams. It can be said that the beam carries the luck of a family.
In modern parlance, the beam is the "mascot" of the home. Imagine, if the "mascot" is buried by someone and spoils the auspiciousness and bad luck of the family, can this family still be better?
So why is it the most taboo to bury nails?
It's just because nails have always had the meaning of human beings. There are only seven nails on this beam, which means that only seven people are allowed to survive in this family, and no more than one bite is allowed. It is that the family of the elderly is only maintained at about seven people per generation.
After Chi Jing explained, he said in his heart: Fortunately, the "mascot" of the beam has been canceled in the modern building, otherwise what would be good if the villain was tampered with.
...
"I see." I didn't expect them to be assassinated by villains for generations, and I didn't know the truth until now...
"That's... Do you need me to help you pull out these seven nails? Chi Jing looked at the seven nail caps again, and felt a chill in his heart.
What kind of hatred and grudge, he cut off the roots of other people's people with one hand, and he didn't give a happy one, and he wanted to be tortured for generations like this.
"That's it. The girl's kindness, the old man understood. Now... Even if you pull it out, it's useless. The old man said, this is the will of heaven.
"Who said it was useless, now unplug it, and the curse will be removed. Old man, don't you just marry a wife and have children... Uh..."How old is this old man?" Sounds like sixty? Seventy? Eighty?
"Ahem," the old man seemed to choke and coughed incessantly.
To be honest, it's really scary to hear its voice and not see its people. But Chi Jing didn't have any fear in her heart, and the slightly familiar voice made her feel a little kind.
"Girl, get out of the door, I'll take you out." The old man said, and his voice seemed to drift away.
What does this do... Chi Jing was stunned for a moment, could it be that this old man was waiting for him outside the door? Is it human? Is it a ghost?
Looking around, the room was full of strangeness, and there were drops of blood scattered on the groundβshe was frightened and hurried out.
When I pushed the door open, I saw an old man standing with his back to him.
No way? Really showed up? Why didn't he show up in the house? Can't he get into this house? Because of those seven nails? Puzzled, Chi Jing called out a little puzzled: "Old man." β
The old man slowly turned around and smiled kindly at her.
The moment Chi Jing saw the old man's appearance, he was completely cold, stared at the old man, and squeezed out two words for a long time: "Nima." Read the latest chapters, stay tuned
