Chapter 13 Master Zu
That Zhang Dequan and Uncle Six listened to my question, their faces changed slightly, and Zhang Dequan seemed to want to say something, but was stopped by Uncle Liu, Uncle Liu said: "Oh, it's just a small problem." ”
I didn't believe it, and asked again, but the sixth uncle still didn't say it, but pulled me out one by one, saying that he was going to Niuwang Village to be a living immortal, and that the villagers in Niuwang Village were enthusiastic and proficient in playing and singing.
According to my original meaning, it was to follow him. After all, it's important to have a good relationship with them when you're new to them.
What made me depressed was that Zhang Dequan grabbed me who was about to go out, and said in a deep voice: "Chuanzi, don't go out with Xiao Liuzi to fool around, he just went out to Huohuo." ”
Hearing this, I looked at Zhang Dequan, then at the sixth uncle, and heard the sixth uncle say, "Then forget it, I will lead the little nobleman and a few of them." ”
With that, he went out the door and went straight to the second floor.
After he left, the whole room was left with me and Zhang Dequan, who first put the money in a box under the bed, and then pulled me to sit on the edge of the bed, he handed me a cigarette, and asked me lightly: "Chuanzi, are you really a ghost craftsman?" ”
I hummed and said, "It's only been a year in the industry." ”
He glanced at me indifferently, shook the cigarette ash again, and said: "That's the case, the temple we built this time is next by Boss Wu, and I am in charge of the affairs. ”
I nodded and smiled, "You say." ”
I didn't know what was going on, but I felt that his face was unusually heavy, and he didn't speak, and I told him about digging the foundation before.
He glanced around, got up again, walked over, closed the door, and then walked to my side, and said softly: "Chuanzi, since you are a ghost craftsman, I won't hide it from you, just in the morning, we dug the foundation and dug out this!" ”
As he spoke, he leaned under the bed.
Soon, he pulled out a large wooden box from under the bed, opened it, and found it full of messy tools. However, my eyes were drawn to something on the far left side of the wooden box.
It was about a foot long and fifteen centimeters wide, and it was wrapped in a piece of red cloth, which was tied with several thin wires.
Just when I was stunned, Zhang Dequan took out the thing, and while tinkering with the thin wire on it, he said, "Xiao Liuzi said that it is okay for this thing to be buried in the ground." However, I always feel unsteady in my heart. ”
As he spoke, he had already ripped off the red cloth, and it was a wood carving, and the carver was a little familiar, and after a closer look, I knew that this wood carving was Lu Dongbin, one of the eight immortals who carved.
Strangely, the eyes of this wood carving were removed, leaving only two empty eye sockets, and a layer of red liquid was applied to the eye sockets, and what was even more strange was that one of the hands of this wood carving was tied behind his back, and two lines of red words were on his arms, which read, 'Inherit joy under the knees, and it is difficult for the child to breathe.' It's better to sleep with the animals and reunite under the spring'.
This red handwriting is like a living thing, enthusiastic on the arms, strong and powerful, majestic, and exudes a sense of arrogance, and even makes me have an illusion that this font seems to have an evil spirit, looking at it, can affect the line of sight.
Looking at this, where can I take care of so much, I quickly took the wood carving from Zhang Dequan's hand, studied it carefully, and found that the wood carving material is the best begonia wood, judging from the color of this wood carving, it has a history of at least hundreds of years. However, the handwriting seems to have been carved recently.
That Zhang Dequan saw me staring at my wood carving, and asked softly on the side, "Chuanzi, do you see anything?" ”
I thought for a moment and said slowly: "It should be that someone doesn't want you to build a temple, so I got such a wood carving!" ”
I say this, there is also a basis, starting with this wood carving, this wood carving is Lu Dongbin, and in the folk, no matter which industry, there are their own ancestors, like the carpenter's grandfather Lu Ban, the teacher's grandfather Confucius, and Lu Dongbin is the ancestor of the brothel.
Of course, there are two versions of the ancestor of the brothel, one is said to be Guan Zhong in the Spring and Autumn Period. The reason is that at that time, the Qi State had just experienced war and was waiting to be rebuilt, to say that Guan Zhong was also a talent, he keenly found that the tertiary industry was a shortcut to get rich quickly, so he organized the girl to go to other countries to earn money.
Not to mention, this method is easy to use, and the money is fast, and in the end, Guan Zhong launched a cross-era popular project in Qi State, opening a brothel, the brothel at that time was not called a brothel, it was called a female market, and the official was called a female lu.
The effect of this female lu is excellent, that is, it increases the national income, fills the military spending, and alleviates and reconciles social contradictions.
It is precisely because of the official support that the brothels at that time were operated in an open and honest manner, and there was a great meaning of 'the door is open to the east and welcomes guests from all over the world'.
As for the relationship between Lu Dongbin and the brothel, it is rumored that Lu Dongbin has treated sex workers and enlightened sex workers to become immortals, of course, there are also vulgar people who turn Lu Dongbin's name into a female Dongbin, anyway, it is rumored that Lu Dongbin has an inextricable relationship with sex workers, and there is no way to verify what is going on.
Every year on the 14th day of April of the lunar calendar, Lu Zu's birthday, many sex workers will go to the Lu Temple to offer incense, pray for Lu Dongbin's protection, and buy a 'fairy flower' in the temple to take back, in order to hope that Lu Dongbin can bless himself and find a true love life.
There is still no accurate number of these two statements.
I told Zhang Dequan this statement, and I was even more puzzled in my heart, what does this temple have to do with Lu Dongbin's wood carving?
Don't....
At that moment, I hurriedly asked Zhang Dequan, "Uncle Zhang, isn't Niuwang Village a brothel?" ”
He hummed softly and didn't speak, but his eyes kept staring at Lu Dongbin's wood carving.
As soon as I heard him hum, my face changed suddenly, and I said angrily: "Isn't this nonsense, how can you build a temple for a brothel, isn't this a slap in the face of Lu Zu." ”
I say this because my brother once said that women are generally forbidden to enter Lu Zu's temples, for fear that some sex workers will go in and ask for protection and tarnish Lu Zu's name.
This is also something that cannot be helped, Lu Zu belongs to Taoism, and Taoism has always paid attention to face, but sex workers are not accepted by the world, which is why this situation occurs.
That Zhang Dequan heard me say this, smiled awkwardly, and said: "This is also a matter of nothing, who made Niuwang Village rich, let alone build a temple if you have money, even if you build a Fang Palace, it's nothing!" ”
I couldn't accept it, and my impression of Wu Lao plummeted, so I asked him: "Wu Lao also takes this kind of work?" ”
