"It's not a small town. But there are only two families surnamed Zhang and Shen, so the ancestral hall is divided into two ancestral halls, the east ancestral hall is the Shen ancestral hall, and the western ancestral hall is our Zhang family. Zhang Tongzu knew that Wei Fei and Chen Feng would have a lot of puzzles, and without waiting for the two to ask, he continued, "At that time, whether it was the township test, the meeting test or the palace test, there would be children from the two ancestral halls of Zhang and Shen to take the exam, but it was very strange to say, if the Shen family won the first place this time, then next time it would definitely be the turn of the Zhang family, and so on and so on, there was never a mistake." ”

How can there be such a thing? Wei Fei and Chen Feng were surprised, but they were more sure of the judgment just now, the so-called "feng shui turns", the layout of this town must be from the hands of a certain master, the same Zhang and Shen two families take turns in Zhongkui, it is also a clever technique, "feng shui turns" is easy to say, but it is only five words, but in practice, it is almost impossible to achieve the layout in theory.

The ancients attached great importance to feng shui to the point that the prosperity of the family, future fortune, etc., were all pinned on it, so there were often several parties fighting and bleeding for a so-called feng shui treasure land. If you find a true acupoint of feng shui dragon vein, there is no possibility of sharing it with others. And the situation of the two families in Wenfeng Town, Zhang and Shen, is a kind of desperate situation in feng shui, the name is called "both sides of the strait", which means from the saying "thirty years in the east of the river, thirty years in the west of the river", in ancient times, the Yellow River bed was higher, the sediment was seriously silted, and it was often diverted, and after each diversion, a village used to be on the west bank of the river, and then changed to the east bank. Therefore, it is called 30 years of Hedong and 30 years of Hexi, which means that the world rises and falls, and changes are impermanent.

The "cross-strait bureau" is actually the place where one side of the dragon veins is knotted, but there are two families who set up the same yin house, but the directors of these two families must be hedged. And the eight-character hedging shows that these two people have been conflicting with each other all their lives, and no one looks at anyone well, and even between the two parties, they want to get rid of each other quickly. In this case, it is impossible to bury the two masters in the same cave. Moreover, the characteristic of the "cross-strait bureau" is that "30 years in Hedong, 30 years in Hexi" refers to the fact that when one is prosperous, the other will be in decline, so this "cross-strait bureau" has become a great end in feng shui.

Everyone drank a glass of wine again, the jar of wine had gone to two-thirds, Shen Lang seemed to be the most sober of the four, he took Zhang Tongzu's words, "Later, the two temples in the town discussed together, so they simply followed the order of the Zhang Ancestral Hall and Shen Ancestral Hall, and tried the palace test, only one of the two ancestral halls took the test, anyway, the other family can only win a tribute, and after the lift, they will actually have a meritorious reputation, so that the Zhang and Shen families can maintain a balanced state in the town, and will not be one family." But suddenly, when it was the turn of Zhang Ancestral Hall to take the top prize, everyone in the town was waiting for good news, no matter how much competition between the two ancestral halls, but it was always the same town, just when everyone thought that he would definitely win, but no one thought of it......"

"No one thought that the ancestor of my Zhang family suddenly disappeared after winning the title of Gongshi." Zhang Tongzu said, "According to the past, the champion of the dynasty was none other than my ancestor, but on the eve of the palace test, the ancestor who had already won the tribute, and he didn't know what happened, so he retired from this, gave up his fame, and hung up the crown. This incident has sparked countless speculations, some say that the ancestor deceived the world and steal his name, and some say that the ancestor was incapable of passing the examination at all......" Speaking of this, Zhang Tongzu looked confused, "In short, since then, no one in the town has ever passed the fame test, even if it is just a person." There are different opinions in the town, but they all think that it is the actions of the ancestors, which offended the ancestral gods, broke the feng shui of the town, and the east and west shrines are becoming more and more evil. ”

Shen Lang shook his head, "But it's no wonder, even now, the most in the town is that he graduated from high school, and only Datongzi was admitted to the university alone, and everyone called him Uncle Zhang, hehe, he can be regarded as a champion." ”

Chen Feng couldn't help but shake his head, he didn't expect this matter to be so bizarre, although it is not difficult to guess that since the ancestor of Zhang Tongzu who abandoned his fame and left, it is difficult for someone in Wenfeng Town to pass the township test, and only now that there is a Zhang Tongzu who has been admitted to university, it should be related to the feng shui situation of this "cross-strait bureau", but the key point is that what happened to the ancestor in the Zhang ancestral hall that could make him have such a enlightened behavior? At that time, the life of a scholar, studying hard in the cold window, did not know the spring and autumn, in order to gain fame, especially he was burdened with the desire inherited from the entire Wenfeng Town, if he hadn't encountered extremely unbelievable things, such a move was unimaginable in ancient times.

Thinking of this, Chen Feng and Wei Fei looked at the distance ahead, the tall wall in the town that seemed to be unchanged, when they came, it was already night, and they couldn't see the whole picture of the town, but they vaguely felt that it was a kind of style of outer square and inner circle, so for the legendary "cross-strait bureau", how to set up the layout, I don't know, only tomorrow to look around in the town, it is best to overlook from a high place, in order to judge.

"If it weren't for the momentum and atmosphere in the town, I really couldn't believe that this was a town that was born as a champion." Wei Fei sighed, "It can be seen that the so-called history, what is covered up is always the truth." Tongzu, it seems that your ancestor who should have broken through the red dust, which one is the court? This is one of the most important clues, whether it is called Wenfeng or Zhuangyuan, this ancient town has not left a record in the history, I am afraid it is also related to the ancestors of the Zhang family back then, and the deeper speculation is in the layout of the entire "Cross-Strait Bureau".

Zhuangyuan Town is not even consistent with the local history, and it is no longer reasonable, and it is definitely impossible to guess from formal channels. But from the dynasty where the ancestor of the Zhang family belongs, there may be some clues.

"This ......" Zhang Tongzu shook his head, "I don't know, since then, whether it is the East Ancestral Hall or the West Ancestral Hall, this matter is no longer mentioned in the ancestral hall, and it has been listed as a taboo invisibly." The system of scientific research began in the early Tang Dynasty, and I guess that the incident should be in the Ming Dynasty. Maybe it will be earlier, but the west and east ancestral halls have closed the ancestral positions of the ancestors, and only when the ancestral hall is sacrificed, the ancestral hall is opened once. ”

"When I was young, I was not sensible, and after Datongzi was admitted to university, the two of us used to sneak into the ancestral hall, but both ancestral halls were empty. There is only the tablet of the ancestor of the earliest Zhongkui. All the others are gone, the rules of the ancestral hall are strict, and we don't dare to ask, in short, everything is weird. Shen Lang sighed, tore off a chicken leg and nibbled on it.

What's more than weirdness? Chen Feng frowned, the ancestral tablets in the family ancestral hall, and all of them were champions of the past dynasties, were actually not in the ancestral hall, and this happened in an ancient and rigorous ancient town, without even thinking about it, there must be some secret behind it. He pondered for a moment, "Then where are the tombs of these former dynasty champions?" ”

Turning his head to look, he saw that Zhang Tongzu and Shen Lang had fallen asleep, Wei Fei smiled, in the end, he still couldn't match the amount of wine he and Chen Feng had, and saw that there was still some left in the jar, so he shared the cup with Chen Feng, "Crazy, what do you say is going on in this town?" ”

Chen Feng shook his head, "It's still hard to judge now, let's go to their town's mausoleum tomorrow to have a look." After all, this is their own business in the town, we can't get involved too deeply, let's take care of Zhang Tongzu first! ”

After drinking another glass of wine, the two of them also felt that fatigue was gradually coming, this wine did not look like wine at all, but the stamina was great, Wei Fei swept his eyes, and saw that Shen Lang was still holding a chicken leg in his hand, muttering something vaguely in his mouth, leaning against the wall and turning over. Wei Fei's heart suddenly moved, as if he thought of something wrong, but when the wine came up, his mind was confused, and Chen Feng and Chen Feng slowly got drunk.
