Chapter 137: Beggar Liu

Speaking of why this door is the door of death, this is related to the size of the gate, as the so-called rather with people to build ten graves, not with others to build a door, is said to be the difficulty of repairing the door, the difference between life and death. Why are you so cautious? In fact, because the portal is regarded as the throat in the feng shui theory, in the psychological background of "the unity of heaven and man", the large and small portals that enter and exit are conceived of the magical meaning of harmony, obedience, auspiciousness and anger, and the creation of a gate has become a pivotal matter. In the view of the ancients, if the portal is decent, conforms to the creation of heaven and earth, and does not violate the laws of nature, it can achieve harmony with the "qi" in which people live. Otherwise, "if you are obedient, you will be angry", and you will have to suffer.

The "Ten Books of Yang House" collected by the "Collection of Ancient and Modern Books" compiled by the "Kanyu Department" in the Qing Dynasty "On Opening the Door to Build", with the feng shui concept of the ancients, talks about the miraculous power of building portals to communicate the creation of heaven and earth - that is, the so-called "ventilation". "Ten Books of Yang House" cloud: "Mrs. was born on the earth, this body is all in the air, the so-called clear people in the air if it is, but it is the house in the air, because of the ventilation of the house, only this portal ear, the door ventilation place, and the gas is auspicious, and the obedient gas is so far that it is a certain reason, so the ancient sages made the door ruler, set up the auspicious side, carefully selected the month and day, and took the door to close the largest ear. This passage is about the importance of the door, and it is a matter of good luck and evil in a family.

When it comes to the size of the door, we must start with this 'Luban ruler'.

Luban ruler is also called "Luban ruler", also known as "angle ruler", and "Dinglan ruler" is collectively called "yin and yang ruler". "Luban ruler" is a yang ruler, and the yang gate is built with the measurement of the yang house. According to legend, it was made by Luban in the Spring and Autumn Period, and then added eight words by the feng shui world to measure the good luck and evil of the house, there are eight words on the Luban ruler, which are wealth, illness, separation, righteousness, official, robbery, harm, and this, under each word, it is divided into four small characters to distinguish the meaning of good luck and evil. The four of the financial officials (Ben) are auspicious, and the four are the murderers of illness and disaster. Each inch is divided into four small grids, and there are four meanings of each main auspicious evil, marked with red and black characters, red is auspicious, black is evil. The craftsman is particular about it, and when making the door, he uses this kind of auspicious inch on the ruler of the gods, and he will glorify his ancestors. This ruler is also called the door light ruler, or the door ruler, the door meter, and also called the eight-character ruler.

The eight characters of Luban ruler have their own suitability, such as the righteous word door can be installed on the door, but the ancients thought that it should not be placed on the corridor door; The official door is suitable for the official yamen, but it is not suitable for the door of the ordinary people's homes; The sick door should not be installed on the door, but it is safe to be on the toilet door. "Luban Jing" believes that it is best for ordinary people to have "wealth gate" and "auspicious gate" in their homes.

But the beggar said that the door of the Lin family, the door height fell on the word robbery, and the width of the door fell on the word disease, which was a big murder, so it was the door of death.

When Father Lin heard this, he was frightened, and asked anxiously how to resolve it to turn evil into good?

The beggar smiled, asked Father Lin to bring an axe and a planer, and then repaired the size of the door in a short time, and then told Father Lin that this was Jimen. After saying that, he lifted the gate alone.

It's really strange to say, just now a few people couldn't stand the door, but at this time the beggar stood up alone, and he didn't use a wooden stick to support it, the door stood like this, as if the door had taken root on the ground, Father Lin was surprised. In fact, not only Father Lin, but even the previous craftsmen had to be impressed, knowing that the beggar in front of him was not an ordinary person, and he had some real skills.

The beggar seemed to be very satisfied, threw down the axe and planer in his hand, stood in front of the door frame standing in front of him, patted the dust on his hand, and said with a smile: "This is the auspicious gate, this gate should be like this, the auspicious sun is shining, the auspicious wind is coming, and the fierce wind is fierce." ”

As the words fell, for some reason, a ray of sunlight happened to pass through the big locust tree not far away, and the golden sunlight sprinkled on the door frame, and the breeze blew on the face, as if all this was as the beggar said.

Now Father Lin is convinced, although those few tricks are strange, but the craftsmanship is not as good as people, it is not easy to say anything, and they are silent one by one. At this point, the beggar officially changed his career and became a carpenter of the Lin family and built a house for the Lin family.

To say that this new carpenter Liu Er (that is, the beggar), is really conscientious, very diligent before and after running, accompanied Lin's father to the village market to select wood, the Lin family also likes him very much, and within a month he became a master master, and asked him all about making a house. Originally, life was very peaceful, until one day, when Lin's father went to work at the city police station, he had a strange life.

It turned out that after Father Lin went to work, he accidentally saw a national general order in the police station, and the person on the general order caught his attention, because that person looked very familiar, and if you looked closely, wasn't it Liu Er, the new carpenter in his family?

Father Lin was startled at this time, and only after issuing the order did he find out that the person on the order was called Liu Qiang, a native of the Northeast, who killed someone in the Northeast a few years ago, so now the whole country is in charge.

Thinking of Liu Er in his own family, Liu Qiang on the Tong Yi Order is surnamed Liu, and there is almost no difference in age and appearance, and more importantly, Liu Er's accent is also a Northeast accent. At this time, Father Lin was shocked, it turned out that Liu Er, a carpenter who had been a guest of honor for a month, turned out to be a murderer, and this was worth it, if this person had bad intentions again, wouldn't his family suffer?

Thinking of this, he asked his colleague if this person had been caught now, and his colleague told him that this person had been on the run for several years and had no news, and he didn't know whether he was dead or alive. However, a colleague told Lin's father that the murderer named Liu Qiang had a characteristic, that is, a lion's head tattooed on his back.

In this way, Father Lin got off work early, and the whole person was groggy, but the knots in his heart were also over, and he secretly planned on the way home, let's take a look and talk about it, I would rather believe it. Thinking that he has a murderer at home, where can he feel at ease?

When he got home, Father Lin didn't immediately break the matter, but he just wanted to determine whether the carpenter Liu Er in his family was the murderer Liu Qiang on the order. So, that night, he deliberately dragged Liu Er to carry a few loads of lime for him, making his body very dirty, and then said to Liu Er: "Master Liu, you see that you are helping me build a house in my house and helping me do this coolie, I really don't know how to thank you, I am so dirty today, I will invite you to take a bath in the bathhouse!" ”

When Liu Er heard this, he was very moved, and then nodded and agreed.

In this way, Father Lin took Liu Er to the bathhouse. Of course, the reason why Father Lin did this was actually to see if Liu Er had a lion's head tattooed on his back, and wanted to determine if he was the Liu Qiang on the order.

It is said that at that time, many people washed in the bathhouse together, and when everyone took off their clothes, Father Lin looked at Liu Er's back, wanting to see what was going on, it didn't matter what he saw, and Father Lin was shocked. I saw that Liu Er really had a beast head tattooed on his back, so he looked like a big fight, his hair was like firewood, his face was fierce, his eyes were like bells, and his mouth was broken.

Even if Father Lin was a policeman, he was shocked for a while, and he was stunned on the spot, and when Liu Er asked him what he was in a daze, Father Lin relieved himself, took a hasty bath and returned home all night without sleeping, and as soon as the chicken reported the dawn, he rushed to the city bureau and sent a large number of policemen to suddenly come to the house, and arrested Liu Er, who was about to get up.

Liu Er, who knew that there was nowhere to escape, asked Father Lin why he did this, I will be a cow and a horse for your Lin family, before and after living, I don't want your money or your kindness, but also go to disaster for you, just want to have something to eat, why do you want to take revenge and harm me like this?

Father Lin is also very unhappy, in fact, he has always been very grateful to this Liu Er before, but who knew that he would be a murderer who is popular in the whole country? So, Father Lin said: "I don't want to, it's just that I'm a policeman, you're a bad person, and I can't help it, not to mention that I can't just watch a murderer live at home, right?" ”

Liu Ermian pointed at Father Lin angrily and said: "Have I ever hurt you, have I ever had bad intentions against your family, you are too ruthless, you will be punished!" ”

Father Lin had a hard time, so he had to say that he couldn't help it, and then asked his colleagues to escort Liu Er back to the police station. Later, after interrogation, Liu Er also admitted that he was Liu Qiang, and that he had indeed killed someone in the Northeast a few years ago, and he confessed everything he had committed.

It turned out that he also killed people for a reason, for revenge. Because at the beginning of liberation, Liu Er's family was a big local family, a big landlord, and later when fighting the landlord, there was a person in the village who took the lead, and the result was that the family was ruined.

Liu Er was not evil-hearted, his parents died early, and he was helpless, and later grew up with a carpenter and learned to work as a carpenter, but later Liu Er returned to his hometown when he grew up and killed the person who took the lead in criticizing their Liu family. He was also charged with this murderer, and the whole country was condemned

This carpentry can't be done, and he doesn't dare to steal and rob, so he wandered outside and became a beggar. Unexpectedly, the Lin family was also very good, and they took him in, he originally planned to do things for the Lin family wholeheartedly, but later the Lin family sold him instead.

According to Liu Er's confession, it is obvious that he has no ill intentions towards the Lin family. This matter could have been regarded as over, the murderer was arrested, although Father Lin was unhappy, but it was also his duty. But what everyone didn't expect was that after Liu Er confessed his crime at the police station, he disappeared that night.
