My cousin paused suddenly, and this action made me, who was listening intently to the story, a little discouraged.

My cousin, probably knowing my thoughts, coughed awkwardly twice, and continued: "That guest came to my master craftsman to complain, and the original bed in her house was broken, so she invited a senior brother of mine who specializes in carpenter's trade to make a new bed. But I didn't expect that after a new bed, no one would sleep well on it, and it would be haunted and pressed on the bed for three days, of course, not as serious as your time. After a long time, the couple couldn't eat well, they couldn't sleep well, their work naturally didn't go well, and their home was a mess. They went to my senior brother, and my senior brother didn't know anything about religion, and he definitely wouldn't admit this kind of thing, and even felt a little inexplicable. came and went, and the two sides naturally had a very unpleasant quarrel. ”

The couple had no choice, so they inquired about my brother's master and found my cousin's craftsman. The master thought about it, yes, no matter what, it was also done by his own disciples, if he didn't do it well, maybe he would ruin his reputation, so he agreed to solve it.

At that time, my cousin happened to be at the scene, so he was also called to go with him, so that he could make a move. On the way, my cousin chatted with the master, and the master told him that my cousin's brother had only learned the carpenter's trade from him, and he had never taught him how to go down to the town, so it was impossible that he had deliberately taken the initiative to cause the problem. ”

I heard the new word Xiazhenwu, and in order to avoid that I couldn't understand the follow-up story, I hurriedly raised my hand and asked, "What is Xiazhenwu?" ”

The cousin replied, "A spell?" ”

I continued to ask, "Then my cousin, your master craftsman can also do spells?" ”

My cousin thought for a moment and replied, "It's okay to be okay."

Listening to this ambiguous statement, I couldn't help but wonder: "What does it mean to be and will not, and will it be or will not?" ”

My cousin thought for a moment and replied, "My master, as an all-round craftsman, will of course count some evils that craftsmen need to pay attention to, and will also place some antiques, but he will not have any spells and charms. ”

After listening to this, my doubts did not decrease, but increased, and I continued to ask, "There are no spells and charms, how did that come to town?" ”

My cousin replied, "You haven't been in the industry for a long time, and you still don't know a lot of things. There are two kinds of things, one is through charms, and the other is to use the special meaning of things. ”

I'm still full of doubts, and I haven't cut it at all.

My cousin smiled and said, "It's hard to explain it alone, let's continue to tell the story, and you may understand it after you finish it." ”

I nodded and stopped asking questions, and began to listen carefully to my cousin's story, and my cousin saw that I was no longer asking questions, but listening carefully, and began to preach again: "At that time, my master proposed three possibilities: first, the wood used to make the bed was wrong, and some bad wood might be cut, such as the wood of the camphor tree; Or maybe the time to chop the wood is wrong, and something is wrong. The second is to break the bad position of the passing year, and the fortune will change every year, according to the sixty jiazi to change, the direction of the bad position will be different every year, especially the people who commit Tai Sui are more serious. It may be caused by them putting the bed in a bad position when they change to a new bed. Anyway, do you know that you are too old? ”

I thought about my cognition, and found that there was relevant knowledge and replied: "I know that the temples in Guangdong have a job to pick up An Taisui, my father likes these very much, and he will definitely go to An Taisui, and I naturally know." ”

My cousin nodded and continued: "The third is that after the new bed, the placement in the room has changed, and it has not been violated by the passing years, but by the feng shui pattern. When I arrived at the place, my master carefully looked at the layout of the whole house, and when he got to the house, he also looked around first, and then quietly told me that there was nothing wrong with the feng shui in this house.

The master craftsman told the couple not to worry, and let them tell the zodiac sign first, because if the zodiac commits Tai Sui, the evil position will become complicated, not the same as other zodiac signs, it is a fixed direction. But the zodiac signs of the couple did not commit Tai Sui, so the second one may not be.

Then there was only the first possibility, and my master asked the couple to tell him the date of the bed, and to take him to the place where the tree was cut down, which was a very ordinary tree that the couple had planted in the back of the house. In this way, the problem with the wood is also ruled out. There is no problem in calculating the date and location of the tree cut. At this time, all the possibilities that could be thought of were ruled out, and for a while, my master didn't know what to do. Then my cousin went into the house and looked for water.

The story was broken again in the middle of the excitement, and I couldn't help but ask a little anxiously: "After that, how did my cousin's master craftsman solve this problem?" ”

While drinking water, my cousin came back slowly and said, "How do you guess my master wants to solve it?" I don't think you'd guess. ”

My whole face was pulled down all of a sudden, isn't this nonsense? I replied to my cousin: "Of course I can't guess it, you said that I have only been in the industry for a few days, how can I guess?" Don't sell it, hurry up and move on. ”

The cousin smacked his tongue and muttered, "It's really boring, you guy." ”

But he continued: "When the possibility of guessing was ruled out, my master craftsman decided to make a new bed for the young couple free of charge in order to calm the situation. ”

I suddenly became emotionally apathetic, my whole face lost expression, and my eyes probably looked even more dead. I looked at my cousin, who was smug for some reason, and asked, "Is that the end?" It's a great story to put you to sleep. ”

My cousin said inscrutablely: "The turning point of the story lies in this decision of the master. ”

Although my interest has been raised a little, I am not as interested as before, after all, once people's interest is extinguished, it is not as good as before, at least I am such a person. I hurriedly urged my cousin: "Hurry up, don't sell it all day." ”

My cousin cleared his throat and continued: "After the master made the decision to pay for another bed, the master and I naturally had to prepare to start work first, and when we sorted out the ink fountain line, my master suddenly thought of a possibility, you know, in the carpenter's workmanship, the ink fountain acts as the responsibility of making various molds, and the distance and direction are measured through the ink fountain on the wooden board. When some carpenters work alone, they sometimes fix the ink fountain on the wooden board to make the mold, and when the mold is ready, we will remove the ink fountain line.

What the master thought might have was that the ink fountain of the bed beam erected under the bed had not been removed. The beam of the bed is as important as the beam of the house and the backbone of the person. If the beams of the house are not right, the house will not be good, and it will be dangerous to live in; If people's backbones are not good, they can be uncomfortable and breed many problems; The same is true for the bed, so if there is a problem with the bed beam, the bed is not right, and the person sleeping is uncomfortable.

Sure enough, when my master went under the bed to check, he found that the ink fountain line on the bed beam had not been removed. ”

After listening to this story, digesting and absorbing the content, I asked my own question: "Is it so simple to go down to the town?" Ordinary people without mana can do it unintentionally? ”

The cousin shook his head and said, "The key to going down to the town is to find the important part of the thing you want to go down, such as the beam of the bed and the beam of the room to destroy." Different effects can be achieved through different meanings of different items. ”

My curiosity swelled, and the questions came one after another: "Will different things under an object achieve different effects?" What is the principle? ”

My cousin said: "You suddenly asked about the principle, it was difficult for me, we usually make these, all of them are told by the master to memorize and write down, just memorize and write down, rarely think about what the principle is, this carefully think about it, there are many principles have to be used." After saying that, it was as if he was thinking hard about how to explain the principle

My cousin's expression was vague, which made me even more curious, and in this case, after listening to the story, I didn't want to sleep even more.

My cousin thought for about ten minutes before he spoke: "My ability to express myself is limited, and I don't know if I can understand the principle, anyway, it's your business to understand as much as you listen." ”

I nodded and said, "These things all depend on understanding. ”

My cousin began to say: "This kind of magic has existed in our Hubei since ancient times, and it has been handed down. I once read a miscellaneous book from the Ming Dynasty that said, '... Nightmare Town, Gaitong is out of witchcraft curse', the Nightmare Town mentioned in the book, has been passed down to the present, in the popular words of our craftsmen, it is the next town.

There is also an example in that book, in our Hubei, during the Ming and Qing dynasties, there was a craftsman, because of the harsh treatment of the master's family, when the employer's house was about to be completed, buried a noodle, and then the hostess of the house hanged herself, and the male owner also shouted every day to hang herself.

If we look at this story in relation to the ink fountain, the theories I come up with have to be improvised. How to improvise? It depends on the identity of the existence of the sub-town thing, then the connection with the sub-town object, and finally the purpose of the sub-town object.

Let's still take the bed as an example, the bed as the existence of the sub-town, his identity is to make people sleep, the key point of its structure is the bed beam, the connection between the sub-town thing and that side is that this thing must be able to affect the existence of the sub-town, but not destroy him.

For example, if the craftsman who makes the bed deliberately drives some kind of metal into a certain part of the bed beam, the person will have a physical problem when he sleeps. Because the gold lord kills, it will have an impact on the body after a long time. If you want to make people sick, you have to think of metal things that use the killing aura, and if you want to make people feel bad, you have to use the ink fountain line. ”

I listened to my cousin's tongue twister-like speech, and my head was a little bigger, so I carefully sorted out the content a little bit, and came to the conclusion: "Probably because of this relationship." ”

After hearing this, my cousin nodded and said, "Maybe it's like you said [because], people who don't use charms in the town must have a lot of knowledge, and can know the relevance of each thing and the definition it contains, so that they can match this [because]." ”
