Seeing Tang Chen coming over, Old Chen, who was already squatting, first glanced up, then continued to pinch the soil on the ground with his hands, and said, "Xiao Tang, look at these soils. ”

Tang Chen knew something was wrong, and glanced at Zhou Xuanying, but Zhou Xuanying let go of his hand very "generously" and let him get "freedom". Tang Chen was only moved in his heart, such a smart girlfriend is what any man would like to have. Tang Chen also squatted down and fiddled with the dirt a little, but he didn't find anything wrong.

Tang Chen, who was cautious, knew that things would not be so simple, and he was not in a hurry. He knew that Old Chen had more experience than himself, and he could quickly see that it was because of experience. Tang Chen couldn't see it for a while now, and it was also because of experience.

"This soil is also good, it should be considered auspicious...... Wait, the color doesn't seem right?"

Tang Chen suddenly thought of a possibility and looked at Old Chen.

Chen Lao sighed and said, "Everyone has seen it, the soil dug out of the deep is already blue and black, mixed with a rancid smell. This soil is no longer auspicious, it has become a ferocious land!"

Zhang Yuanfu watched from the side and asked in surprise: "Is it too arbitrary to conclude this based on the soil alone?"

Qian Lao also understood, stroked his palm and said: "Old Chen has good eyesight, Boss Zhang, it's like this, an experienced feng shui master has always been a good one." Even if it is a pinch of water or a handful of soil, it can be judged that this place is auspicious. The method used by Chen Lao is called 'Xiangtu', and together with 'tasting water', it is called ancient feng shui, which has been tried and tested many times over the years. ”

Zhang Yuanfu was stunned and said, "So amazing?"

After hearing this, Wang Dongxu smiled and said, "Boss Zhang, let me tell you a story." In the Tang Dynasty, there was a very famous feng shui master, his name was Shu Xuan, who was proficient in the five elements, and was famous at home and abroad at that time. At that time, Yang Gongren, a high-ranking official in the court, wanted to rebury his parents' graves near Chang'an Jingshi, so as to facilitate worship and management, so he invited five or six Xiangdi senior teachers who were famous in the sea at that time, and Shu was among the invites.

These people were all famous feng shui masters at that time, and Yang Shilang couldn't tell who was the real master, so he paid two silver to each of the earth masters, and asked them to find land for their parents, and then return to the house to meet and report back a month later. So the masters will act separately, at the end of January, everyone returned to the house, everyone offered a good acupoint, each expressed their opinions and disputes, so everyone climbed the mountain to view the acupoint, five or six places have their own pros and cons, the masters of the law and the law, no one obeys the public, Yang Shilang can not decide whether to be familiar with the right or wrong, and he is depressed when he returns home, and he suddenly heard the master say: ' Why don't you be like this', Yang Gongren heard this, secretly happy in his heart, and called a few relatives, rushed to the acupuncture points of the Beijing teachers overnight, opened the acupoints a foot deep and took a bag of soil, and recorded the geography and landforms on the small book, sealed it together with the small book, and transported it home, Yang Shilang made a mark, hid the record book, and also took out a bag of soil in the ground of the back garden and mixed it in, and then called several feng shui masters, let them explain the geographical situation and topography of the place where the soil was taken according to the soil in the bucket, and explain whether the place is a good hole, whether it can be rich and rich, and the situation of the house, etc., so as to compare with the original record。

In the analysis of the next few hours, several other masters did not know the essentials, only Shu Xuan thought that a few bags of retrieved soil, there are three places that can be used as holes, and set the level of wealth and wealth and the pros and cons of the housing situation, etc., the most subtle is that the terrain he described is consistent with the actual situation recorded in the small book, and the soil taken from the back garden, but also made a poem "black in the green and foggy clouds, air through the two holes of grass, this soil buried the bones of the ancestors, a smell to the end to hurt the descendants, this soil moistens and raises flower roots". Several other feng shui masters were amazed when they saw that Shu Xuan had such a magic skill, and they were ashamed of themselves, so they took Yang Shilang's honorarium and left quietly.

After the other feng shui masters left, Shu Sui said to Yang Shilang: "The tomb I have selected will have grain below five feet of the well, and if you can get a bucket of grain, you will be rich, and you will be able to protect Yang Shilang's family from generation to generation as rich officials and princes."

Yang Shilang was very impressed by Shu Xuan's feng shui technique, after listening to this, he immediately went to Beijing with Shu Xuan, and came to the cave that Shu Xuan was looking for, so that people continued to open the hole, when digging to seven feet deep, found a small hole, and then gently dug the hole that was nearly two feet square, and there were seven or eight buckets in the hole, and the appearance was very similar to the grain thing. Yang Shilang witnessed this scene and was so impressed that he threw himself to the ground. So Yang Shilang moved the bones of his parents in this cave, and later Guoying was rich and noble, and after the Yang family was loyal to the martyrs. ”

Zhang Yuanfu didn't believe it: "From the Tang Dynasty to the Song Dynasty, there is at least a span of more than 100 years, and it took such a long time to be fulfilled, can it be trusted?"

Qian Lao smiled: "The story is just passed down from one story to another, so you don't have to be more truthful." But the principle of the 'phase soil' in the middle is the same, just like when Wu Zixu built the city in the Spring and Autumn Period, he first had to 'phase the soil and taste the water'. 'Phase' means to observe, to choose. 'Taste' means to tempt and discern. To taste water, we mainly inspect the composition of the water system, the direction of the water flow, and the distribution of the water flow, and comprehensively integrate the relationship between 'soil' and 'water', and then choose a suitable place for building a city or a house.

The phase soil method is to use a special scale rod to measure, a bucket of soil, six or seven catties for the fierce, eight or nine catties for the auspicious, more than ten catties for the auspicious. The water tasting method is now testing water quality. The water flavor is pure, warm in winter and cool in summer, and the water taste is astringent and bitter, and the deep turbid smell is unlucky. The reason why we want to taste the water is because in feng shui, all stones should be delicate and chiseled, the soil should be solid and difficult to hoe, and the stone should be dry and loose. Water is the source of life, without water there is no man, and auspicious land cannot be without water.

Taking Wu Zixu Jiansu (Su) Prefecture as an example, it is very important to taste the water in the soil, which is equivalent to the current geological and hydrological report. From the perspective of geology, landform and river system, 'soil' and 'water' are inseparable. The west and southwest of Suzhou Prefecture are mostly lofty, and the terrain is high. Not far from the city, there is the vast Taihu Lake, which is very convenient for water transportation, and there is also a vast place for training sailors.

Moreover, when Dayu controlled the water here, he made a lot of efforts to lead it into the sea, and there was a record of 'three rivers entering, and Zhenze was determined'. Zhenze is Taihu Lake, indicating that the water of Taihu Lake has been well treated and flows into the Loujiang River, Songjiang River and Dongjiang River. The eastern part of the city is a plain, with low terrain and easy irrigation, which is a fertile field for growing crops and can obtain good harvests......"
