Volume 1 The Years of the Mountain City Chapter 71 Fu Lu Shuangquan Qinglong Sees Longevity
Although the emergency exit was not wide, the retreat of the crowd in the tunnel was not slow. The two stood together, and the people in the back wanted to squeeze to the front, but they didn't move.
The two of them came out of the ground smoothly, Yuan Yuan took a step forward, and then beckoned to Ling Lang.
"Come, let's go this way. ”
From the "cramped" underground, I suddenly came to a place with a slightly "wide" line of sight. The unfamiliar environment made Ling Lang's eyes darken, and he only felt that he didn't know where he was at all except for high-rise buildings, pawnshops along the street, and crowds of traffic. But anyway, there is a "land snake" next to him, just follow along, and he doesn't even bother to ask.
At the end of the road, I turned a corner, and I walked less than 200 meters away in total, and I saw the ancient trees on the side of the road, and the banyan leaves were mulberry. Then you will see a stone archway with three doors and three floors.
The stone carving of the archway imitates the wooden fighting chess to support the eaves, and the two ends of the roof ridge of the roof are decorated with the bite of the cresting spine. The surface of the archway is engraved with cloud dragon pattern and Tenglang pattern, and the lines of these carved patterns are symmetrical and balanced, dense and compact, which makes people look at a sense of elegance and freedom. But looking at it again, under the pillar of the gatehouse in the middle, there are also four big characters engraved with "Ancient Ancestral Hall", Ling Lang couldn't help but pout.
Yuan Yuan just turned around and saw Ling Lang's small action of "missing his appearance".
"What's wrong? All of a sudden, this weird look?"
Ling Lang stood under the gatehouse, glanced at the square behind the archway, and asked.
"Who proposed this archway to be built here?"
"I don't know about this, what's wrong?"
"There should have been a pond here before, right? You must know that the ancestral hall and the pond are inseparable in our ancient Chinese architecture. Now it's good, the pond is gone, and there is an archway. Ancestral halls usually do not have gatehouses, and arches are generally built inside ancestral halls. Looking at these nondescript antique buildings, Ling Lang couldn't laugh or cry a little.
"Ah, and that kind of saying? Hearing you say that, I really think of an allusion. It's just right to test you. Yuan Yuan didn't really dwell on these things that he didn't know much, and he turned around to pay attention to Ling Lang.
Ling Lang glanced at Yuan Yuan, obviously motioning for her to come and listen.
There has been a dispute over these four words. Some people say that 'Ancient Ancestral Hall Liufang' is good, and some people say that 'Ancient Ancestral Hall Liufang' is good, so what do you think?" Yuan Yuan pointed to the inscription on his finger.
"The meaning of the two words is not the same at all. Generally speaking, 'retention' is 'retention' and 'circulation' is 'circulation'. In fact, there is nothing to say, the ancestral hall is accompanied by water, there is often a pattern, there is no living water passing through, so it is necessary to dig the feng shui pond to retain water, there is a meaning of preserving luck and saving blessings. But now that the ponds are gone, isn't it just that 'Fang' is 'flowing away'? "I want to repair the ancients, and I want to reflect the new era, it is difficult to do both, and painting a tiger is not an anti-dog, and it has become nondescript.
"Although I don't understand what feng shui layout you are talking about, I still think you have a point. Seeing Yuan Yuan's eyes with a little "admiration", he has a tendency to become an "iron fan". Ling Lang actually wanted to tell her that it was just some very basic things, but when he wanted to speak, he felt too lazy to explain.
In fact, neither of them knew that this ancient ancestral hall really had many curved waterways passing through in the previous dynasties, and there was also a saying that "the water of the nine curves is directly parked in front of the door". And because the ancient ancestral hall sits in the north to the south, the south is adjacent to the pearl water, and the north looks at the cloud mountain, and it has the love of the aura of heaven and earth. Therefore, at the beginning, there was "Li in the world, Guangyue Chen", from which it can be seen how the Chen family was on this side back then, how lush and prosperous it was.
And now the vicissitudes of life, the ancient ancestral hall has undergone earth-shaking changes, no longer see the smart water flow in front of the door, even the feng shui pond has been artificially filled, and the remaining buildings are everywhere, and they can only shrink in the high-rise buildings, like sitting in a well and watching the sky, leaving those few ancient trees to witness lonely, and it is better than nothing.
The ancestral hall of the clan can not worship the ancestral tablet, and the spirits of the ancestors cannot be sacrificed in the spring and autumn.
It's not a certainty, but it's a certainty.
Walk through the archway and across the square. A three-entry grand ancestral hall building appeared in front of you. The plaque of the main gate has black characters on a red background, and the yang is engraved with four large characters of "Chen's Academy".
There are two huge stone lions in front of the academy, with lively bodies and peaceful expressions, which are male and female pairs of lions facing each other from east to west. The male lion steps on the hydrangea, and the lioness cares for the young with her front paws.
The main hall of the ancient ancestral hall is high, the middle is two low, the blue bricks and black tiles, the heavy eaves are stacked and angled, the carved beams and painted buildings, the exquisite warping, the indescribable colors are gorgeous, the complexity is fine. In particular, the pottery sculpture painting on the glazed tile ridge makes all kinds of figures, birds and beasts, melons and fruits, flowers and trees, and moire on it more vivid and gorgeous, dazzling and beautiful. Among them, the colorful and fierce four-headed eaves of the previous one, and the three immortals of Fu Lushou above, are the most vivid and realistic, looking forward to life.
The front of the academy is low and the back is high, and it looks magnificent from the outside, but it is simple and elegant when you enter.
Wood carving, stone carving, brick carving, clay sculpture, iron casting and other kinds of craft decoration, all over the eaves, halls, courtyards, corridors, between the door. or rough and bold, or delicate and delicate, each with its own characteristics and complementing each other. It is no wonder that some people wrote poems praising "natural workers can be replaced, but artificial days are not as good".
The beam-lifting building structure and the hard mountain-style volcanic wall. Five three-in, nine halls and six courtyards, using "three into three roads, nine halls and two compartments" layout, with the middle road as the main line, the halls and wings on both sides are enclosed. Each single building is separated by Qingyun Lane, and the promenade is interspersed and connected, implying that the green clouds are smooth and accessible. There are 19 large and small buildings, the vertical and horizontal regularity, the layout is rigorous and symmetrical, the hall is lofty, the courtyard is deep, it is a typical southern folk ancestral hall style.
Chan's College is known for its exquisite decorative craftsmanship, among which the number of wood carvings is the largest, large-scale and rich. The most prominent is the historical story of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" carved on the beam frame of the first entrance, in which Prime Minister Cao Cheng's feast Tongquetai and Uncle Liu Huang's three visits to the thatched house invite Wolong two groups, and the most is meticulously crafted, the characters are vivid and expressive, and even the beard and hair of each person are all carved out, lifelike, almost jumping on the "wood".
Ling Lang has always had a special preference for places of interest and antiquities. Just as he was carefully looking at the two sets of exquisite wood carvings, he suddenly felt that the soul body moved, and it was Guan Gong's holy soul that automatically manifested the "holy body", which really startled Ling Lang. I thought something big was happening.
But just look at the Guan Gong Holy Soul, with one hand behind him, and the other hand holding his long hair, leisurely. There are auspicious clouds on the soles of his feet, and he stands in mid-air, also looking at the two groups of wood carvings, bowing his head slightly, as if he is extremely appreciative.
The holy soul steps on the clouds, and the power is like the sea. Although Guan Gong has tried his best to restrain his soul power, his identity is so powerful and famous in this heaven and earth?
Ling Lang only felt that the soul energy was vibrating one after another, which made people really caught off guard and in a hurry. In front of him, because of the sympathy of soul thoughts, three "people" appeared, two black lions, and four foxes.
But when I saw the three "people", the middle one was wearing an official hat, his wings trembled, and his silk hung down. Holding jade Ruyi in one hand and a large ingots in the other, the heavenly court is full and the earth pavilion is round. Wearing a golden Tianguan uniform, it is the heavenly official lucky star in the portrait of the folk worship.
The one on the right looks like a court official, wearing a big red official uniform, five locks of long beard, elegant and generous. is also holding a jade Ruyi in one hand, but in the other hand is holding a scroll, thinking that it should be the god of Juelu.
The one on the left is much easier to recognize. The white-eyed old man, with a white beard, holding a dragon head cane, holding a longevity peach, his forehead is raised high, and his face is happy and peaceful.
And those two black lions, it has long been rumored that there are strange beasts in the Chen Ancient Ancestral Hall. During the previous dynasty, there was a flood that flooded the city, and this low-lying place saw the water level rise suddenly, and I don't know how many people would lose their homes because of this. When it was dark, two lion roars came from the ancient shrine. Then, the water gradually receded. Since then, there have been no floods in the area around the Ancient Ancestral Academy. The two stone lions in front of the door are also regarded as "holy lions", and they should be these two water-avoiding golden-eyed beasts.
As for the four fiery red foxes, they are auspicious and fluttering, surrounded by colorful gas, but they are the sacred beasts of the town house that extinguish the fire and prevent disasters on the vertical ridge.
"The emperor is here today, and I don't know why he came? I hope you will forgive me. Fuxing in the middle took two steps forward and asked in a low voice. As the Emperor of Heavenly Officials, he is quite popular in the world, and he is naturally a little inferior to Emperor Guan Sheng, but of course he can also perceive that what is in front of him is not his own body, so he is only respectful and fearful.
The two immortals of Lushou also bowed their hands, and their expressions remained unchanged. Two water lions, with their heads bowed down, prostrate themselves on the ground, as if they were prostrating. And the other four Foxy Divine Beasts also leaned forward, but they didn't know if they felt that Guan Gong's Holy Soul was too powerful, and they seemed to be a little uneasy, and they roared restlessly.
"The stars and the immortals, there is no need to be nervous, because I saw this exquisite wood carving today, I remembered that Cao Cheng was erecting a flag and dividing his robes for a long time, and I thought that my righteous brother respectfully invited Kong Ming, so there was nothing else to do. You can go down first, and each one will return to his place. However, you have a good place. "Of course, Guan Gong Holy Soul also knows what the three immortals of Fu Lu Shou are thinking, but his temperament, where will he talk to you slowly?
The three immortals saw that Guan Gong was too lazy to take care of himself, glanced at Ling Lang, and had to clasp his fists and salute again, take two steps back, and then with the two lions, the four beasts, plus those little gods and beasts who had never dared to approach and avoided in the distance, they left one after another.
"But I was so noisy, and I lost my mood. "After Guan Gong Holy Soul and other immortals and gods disappeared, it seemed that You Xing was destroyed, and the blue light flashed slightly, and there was no trace.
