Chapter 43: Zhengliang
That Wang Runxue said that the third time he went to the beam, that is, the day of Wang Yangming's accident, it made all of us hold our breath and stare at him directly.
As if he had noticed that our eyes were wrong, he glanced at my face, and said that when the beam was put on that time, the master carpenter knew that the beam had happened twice, so he was very attentive and walked on thin ice every time he did a ritual.
However, after all, it still failed to prevent the occurrence of the cup, and when the beam was chanting, the master carpenter suddenly jumped down from it, and he didn't know if it was fate, or what was going on, and he was stunned that he didn't die, but he was paralyzed, and he could only spend his life in bed.
After hearing this, I immediately asked, "Are you sure that the master carpenter jumped off?" ”
He mumbled, "It was indeed a jump, I was down there at the time, and I saw it very really, definitely jumping down." ”
"Why jump?" The little Zhuo policeman interjected.
Wang Runxue shook his head and said: "I went to his house to check, and the master carpenter has no tendency to commit suicide, on the contrary, he is more afraid of death than anyone else, because his daughter-in-law is about to give birth, and he is about to become a grandfather, so it is impossible to choose to jump off at this time." ”
He made a lot of sense, like this situation, it is impossible to jump off the building, and the only explanation is that the roof should be weird.
As soon as this idea was born, Zi Dayuan, who had been speaking on the side, suddenly spoke, and said: "Boss Wang, according to what you say, the death of your Wang Yangming is very likely to be related to this matter, and the dozens of palm prints behind him are the best proof." ”
Wang Runxue smiled and pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, "It can be understood in this way, but if you can't find out about this matter, Wang has no choice but to be a villain for a while, pull Ling Gongzi to be a companion for my son, and let my son not be lonely on Huangquan Road." ”
"You..." The capitalist was in a hurry and rushed over.
Wang Runxue's face turned cold, "If you think that violence can solve the problem, you can rush up and beat me, and Wang will never fight back." But, only if you can afford it. ”
When Zi Dayuan heard this, the hand that was originally raised was put down stupidly, and he stared at Wang Runxue angrily, his angry teeth chattered, what I didn't expect was that his daughter-in-law seemed a little calm, but threw her eyes at me and asked me if there was a way to find out.
I smiled bitterly, in the current situation, if you want to find out why Wang Yangming died, you can only go to the roof to see, but this roof is not said to be able to go up, only the upper beam can step on that place, usually if you step on it, it is disrespectful to the lord of the land.
To put it bluntly, whether it is a carpenter or a ghost craftsman, we agree that the house is built on the ground, and the ground is under the control of the local land lord. Therefore, before building a house, you have to play the yin and yang hexagrams, ask the land lord for instructions, and ask him if the old man agrees, which is commonly known as the worship dock.
If the yin and yang hexagram shows the treasure hexagram, it means that the land lord agrees, and the house can be built.
And when building a house, the craftsmen had an unwritten rule with the land lord that they could not trample on the roof of the house. The reason is that this roof is the face of the land lord in the sun, and once trampled on it, it is stepping on the face of the land lord.
However, from an architectural point of view, a beam must be placed on the roof to strengthen the whole house and make it impregnable.
However, as I said earlier, the roof cannot be trampled on, and now a beam must be crossed on the roof, so what should I do?
The way is to get a beam ceremony to please the land lord, and China has been known as the state of etiquette since ancient times, and everything pays attention to etiquette, so this beam also has the etiquette of the beam.
The folk believe that whether the upper beam is smooth or not, is not only related to whether the structure of the house is firm, but also related to the relationship between the occupants and the land lord and whether it will be prosperous in the future.
Speaking of 'positive beams', there are many kinds of them, and ordinary civil housing, generally with only one beam, is called 'positive beam'. However, some palaces and temples have dozens of beams, large and small, and those beams are divided into several kinds according to their different functions.
One of them is the pillar beam, which plays a supporting role and generally stands at the door and in the middle of the house. There is also a kind of beam, which also plays a supporting role, and is distributed in the walls of the house, which is also called the ridge purlin.
The last type is the lin, which plays the role of balance and rests at the position of the beam head. With the position of the beam head is different, the name is also different, such as in the eaves of the eaves, it is called the eaves purlin, near the main beam, it is called the ridge purlin.
And we build a house in the countryside, only one beam, the ceremony is much simpler, first carefully selected beam, the selection of the beam and divided into economic conditions, good family background, generally use sandalwood, this wood is strong, insect-proof, strange fragrance, and then with incense, can make the room perennial aroma pleasant, the palace in ancient times, with sandalwood to make the beam.
If the family is not good, you can only use fir wood, this kind of wood is economical, the tree shape is long and straight, and most families use this wood to make the beam.
Of course, this selection of beams is the owner's own business, and it is not worth mentioning, what is really worth saying is that this beam ceremony must be done by a ghost craftsman. To put it bluntly, the ghost craftsman knows some things that are out of the way, and can better have a good relationship with the land lord, but the number of ghost craftsmen is less than one ten-thousandth of the carpenter, and in the end, some owners really can't find a ghost craftsman, so they can only find a carpenter to do it.
However, the current house is basically a monolithic structure, and even the action of the upper beam has been omitted, but the ritual of the upper beam has been preserved to this day.
As we all know, China is a big country, with a vast territory and many ethnic groups, and there are different customs in different places. However, in the ceremony of the upper beam, all ethnic groups are very solemn, and the whole process is roughly divided into five steps, sacrificing the beam, putting on the beam, receiving the package, throwing the beam, and serving the craftsman.
These five steps, even today, whether in big cities or rural areas, can still see some shadows.
No more gossip, down to business.
I told Zi Dayuan's daughter-in-law what I thought, and after she heard it, she said, "Isn't it okay for you to go to the beam for Boss Wang?" ”
I glanced at her and sneered: "You have a good idea, the three carpenter masters who put up the beam for Boss Wang's house have all had an accident, you let me go up, isn't this pushing me into the fire pit?" ”
With that, I gave up and rejected her proposal directly.
Then the woman said, "Money, I'll give you a lot of money!" ”
I glared at her and said coldly, "Then how much do you think my life is worth?" Three thousand? Five thousand? Or eight thousand? ”
