Chapter 30: The Past
"Before liberation?"
Tang Chen couldn't help but be stunned, "Old Chen, dare to ask you about your Guigeng this year?"
"How old do you think I am?" After Chen Quansheng knew that he was an old man, he also had the mind to joke.
"It has been 67 years since the founding of the People's Republic of China. You must be over seventy years old!" Lin Chao, a stunned boy, simply calculated Chen Quansheng's approximate age.
Chen Quansheng nodded and said, "I am indeed over seventy years old. ”
Tang Chen was stunned: "Then you don't look like you're eighty or ninety years old?"
Chen Quansheng smiled heartily: "I am eighty-seven years old this year, and I was just twenty years old when I was liberated. ”
Tang Chen was even more confused: "But I remember that my grandfather is only eighty years old this year?" Indeed, because after liberation, Tang Chen's grandfather was still showing people feng shui in the countryside, so he was beaten into a capitalist roader, imprisoned in the cowshed, broke his heart and lungs, and only lived to be seventy-eight years old before leaving. With a difference of seven years, how do you erect the beam?
"It's an interesting story, your grandfather was just ten years old, and I was only seventeen, and before Jiang Gong provoked a civil war, Master took me to worship the mountains in western Guangdong. I apprenticed at the age of 10, and after studying for seven years, I finally achieved a small success, so the master specially took me to visit my old friends and tell people in the circle that his old man has an orderly inheritance and has successors. ”
Hearing Chen Quansheng's words, Tang Chen also nodded. My grandfather also told him about this, after a feng shui master has an apprentice, the master will pave the way for the apprentice. The first is to tell his peers that this is his apprentice, and ask his peers to give him some face, so that his peers can meet him, so as not to have conflicts in the "business" in the future. When Feng Shui Mr. Feng Shui looks at Feng Shui, it is especially taboo for employers to hire more than one Feng Shui master. If you know that you have invited someone else, you will leave immediately without compensation, or you will take revenge with resentment. Of course, there are exceptions, that is, powerful people, such as Jiang Guangtou of Zhejiang (zhe) Jiang, who is very superstitious about feng shui, and is always accompanied by a large group of feng shui gentlemen.
This second is naturally to accumulate fame. Unlike Ye Luzi, who did not have a master and became a monk halfway, Feng Shui Mr. Feng Shui, who has an orderly inheritance, generally spreads his reputation through word of mouth among his peers. Those who are apprentices don't have this ability, but those who are masters have it, so they naturally have to pave the way for apprentices.
The third reason is a bit of an impure motive. Since ancient times, there is no first in literature and no second in martial arts. Feng Shui, in order to compete for fame, is even more competitive. When you worship the mountain, it is normal to meet the other party's apprentice and ask for a "discussion".
“...... At that time, your grandfather was only ten years old, and he was also a famous teacher, so he immediately made an agreement with my master and let us have a fight. ”
When Lin Chao heard this, he also stopped his chopsticks and said in a daze: "In the TV series, do you have a fight with friends with martial arts?"
Chen Quansheng sighed and said, "It's almost like that, but it's only limited to feng shui, and it can't hurt the other party's life." ”
"Then what do you want to try?" Lin Chao was even more excited and asked. He likes to listen to stories like this the most. Who said that every man has a dream of rivers and lakes in his heart? Although the rivers and lakes of feng shui masters seem to be somewhat different from the martial arts rivers and lakes in TV dramas and novels, they are more mysterious than martial arts competitions, and Lin Chao wants to know more.
"The content of the competition is also very simple, the first item is to look at the qi, the second item is to find the dragon, and the third item is the point point. ”
Chen Quansheng said it lightly, but Tang Chen understood that this was a very high-level competition. There is a way that three years to find the dragon, ten years to point the point. Regardless of the yin house or the yang house, the point is the last step, the culmination of feng shui. The so-called difference is a thousand miles. Don't look at it lightly, if you really pierce the heart of the cave, there will definitely be a change. If you just order a fake acupoint, which is commonly known as a fixed acupoint, although the burial and building of a house have a corresponding effect, it is greatly discounted, and the effect of Feng Shui treasure land is far away.
Three years of dragon searching, ten years of points, that's just a description. It doesn't mean that after ten years of study, you must have mastered the ability to find dragon points. In fact, some people may not be able to truly reach the realm of accurate points after studying for a lifetime.
Of course, it is not excluded that some people are talented and are born to eat this line of food, maybe it doesn't take ten years at all, just two or three years to get through. It is rumored that the Tang Dynasty feng shui masters Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng fought the method, and the two were looking for a treasure of feng shui for the royal family, wanting to see whose means were more clever.
In order to find the true dragon treasure land, the two ran all over the Guanzhong Plain. One night, Yuan Tiangang looked up at the stars, and suddenly found that a ball of purple gas rose from the mountains and rushed straight to the Beidou. Follow this purple gas. Yuan Tiangang found a place, selected the right acupuncture points, and buried a copper coin in the ground to make a mark.
Li Chunfeng later found this place as well. Take the meridian with the figure, and put the gossip with gravel. Insert the needle into the place where the calculation is made. After that, the two of them went back at the same time to report the location of the feng shui treasure, and the emperor immediately sent someone to inspect it, and then an incredible scene appeared, Li Chunfeng's fixed needle happened to be inserted in Yuan Tiangang's square copper coin eye.
Although it is miraculous, there are traces of the points. In the eyes of feng shui masters, the acupoints are similar to acupuncture, no matter how many thousands of miles the dragon veins stretch and how vast the scope is, after seeing it accurately, just the place to take this needle is enough.
When Chen Quansheng said this, he said with a nostalgic face: "I see that your grandfather is young, so he has a contempt for it. But in retrospect, I was a fiasco, if not underestimated. In the first game, I practiced my skills for three years, and I thought I would not lose to anyone. Sure enough, the first time we were tied. ”
Tang Chen nodded, looking for qi is the foundation of dragon hunting, if you can't see through the qi of the mountains, there is no way to talk about dragon hunting.
"In the second dragon hunt, we were almost on par and found the right place. ”
When Chen Quansheng said this, his old face was rarely red, but in fact, he put gold on his face. After Linde found the place that year, he saw Linde not moving there after a quarter of an hour, and after his heart was moved, he followed, and the dragon hunt had already been lost.
"In the third point, I confidently walked around the mountain with a compass, and the more I got to the back, the more solemn my face became. Although I was able to determine the range of the acupuncture points, I couldn't click on this needle for a long time. Chen Quansheng said lonely, "I have thought back to all the knowledge taught by Master, but I have not been able to find how to prick this needle." But your grandfather has hit me hard. He didn't even use a compass, he just stepped on the range of the real acupoint, pacing slowly. After walking faster and faster, he suddenly made a move, and with a 'poof' sound, he hit the heart of the acupoint. ”
Lin Chao's eyes widened: "How did you do it?"
Chen Quansheng smiled bitterly and shook his head: "This is a unique skill, how do I know? At that time, my master's face was like ashes, and he immediately admitted defeat, and after he went back, he scolded me a lot, and he was grounded for three years before he gave me a trip out of the mountain." But the world changed greatly that year, and in order to survive, Master and I went to Xiangjiang to take refuge in Shibo. It wasn't until the nineties that I returned to the mainland with Master's spiritual tablet......"
