In order to verify his idea, Tang Chen and Zhou Xuanying walked to the moat again. The ancient city of Zhangzhou dredged its moat in the Song Dynasty, and because of its proximity to the Jiulong River, its water system was particularly developed. In ancient times, it was customary to build a bridge pavilion on the side of the bridge for people to rest, the bridge pavilion ** Feng Guanyin, there is also the Zen of the water moon, the bridge pavilion spans the ancient waterway, the banyan tree that does not see the sky, in front of the East Bridge Pavilion, the East Bridge is a stone bridge across the beam, when it was completed, it coincided with the first person in Zhangzhou Prefecture, and it was named "Mingdi Bridge" , the east bridge coincides with the waterway at the key point, it is also the key mouth of the old Zhangzhou city, along the line is a scene of waterfront life, the East Bridge Pavilion is interesting that the temple still retains the old gray sculpture behind the temple, and the lion slave holding the lion on the lower side is particularly vivid. The roof of the Dongqiao Pavilion can also be cut and pasted, the dragons and phoenixes, birds, beasts, flowers, grasses, fish and insects on the top are all pasted with porcelain pieces, cut and paste is a special decoration method of building in southern Fujian, the craftsmen of the old days will collect the porcelain bowls and porcelain plates that are not used by each family, and cut and collage according to the shape, and now it is made of more than one firing, there will be less of those few ingenuity and sincerity, and with the renovation of the temple, the old cut and paste will often not be saved, so it will pass away. The West Bridge Pavilion was renovated in recent years, and it is also dedicated to Guanyin, and the ditch between the East and West Bridge Pavilions is also the old scene of the Tang and Song dynasties.

"Turtles, lions, gossip ......," Tang Chen muttered, "There should be a connection here......

"Tang Chen, shouldn't you look at feng shui again?"

Zhou Xuanying felt that it was boring, she felt that Tang Chen was good at everything, but his obsession with feng shui was too deep, and it was probably his grandfather who had the greatest influence on him.

"I can't tell you that you may not believe it, I think this ancient city of Zhangzhou (zhang) may be suppressed below......"

Tang Chen said mysteriously, as if he had something to do.

"Suppressing something?"

Zhou Xuanying is also interested, I don't know if it's natural curiosity or what, women have a deep fear of gods and strange things, but they are very curious. It's like many girls are scared by ghost movies and scream "wow", but they still happily search for similar ghost movies to watch, probably this is a very ambivalent psychology, right?" "Tang Chen, tell me, what is being suppressed?"

Tang Chen smiled bitterly: "I'm just guessing, I'm not sure." But this thing is very heavy, and it needs the ancient city of Zhangzhou to use gossip as a lock, supplemented by turtles and lions, in order to slowly eliminate this evil qi in the passage of time......"

"Wow, it looks so powerful!" Zhou Xuanying's eyes flashed with a strange look, just like a child seeing a fun toy. What Tang Chen didn't know was that the reason why Zhou Xuanying could accept Tang Chen was also because Tang Chen knew Feng Shui, and these mysterious things were the most liked by girls. If Tang Chen knew this inside story, he would probably be depressed for a long time. He always thought that it was his own efforts that moved Zhou Xuanying, but he didn't know that it was Feng Shui that made a contribution.

In fact, Zhou Xuanying was just curious about Tang Chen at first, and even more curious about Feng Shui. But curiosity is often the beginning of a woman's sinking, and it just so happens that Tang Chen is another man who is more mysterious the more he understands, and Zhou Xuanying naturally falls incorrigibly. So feng shui is just an inducement, and what can really make Zhou Xuanying fall in love is Tang Chen's people.

While they were talking, they quickly walked to Datong Road in the ancient city, and saw a strange stone pillar standing under a big banyan tree. Zhou Xuanying asked the locals, only to know that this is a scripture building built in the Song Dynasty, and the temple behind it is called Takou Nunnery. Legend has it that this prayer building was originally erected in the Pure Courtyard, the Takou Nunnery and the Pure Courtyard in the ancient city of Zhangzhou "three nunnery and two courtyards" converged here, the Faji Courtyard and the Pure Courtyard in the two courtyards have long been gone, there are some constructions left, the prayer building looks simple and chic in front of the nunnery, the bottom layer is the seawater swimming dragon, it is very Anzen to control the poisonous dragon. Not far to the north of the building, there is a seven-star well, although the name of the seven-star is indeed a six-eyed ancient well, now the spring water in the well is still there, and some people will go to make tea.

This prayer building is an octagonal columnar Sumeru seat. On the pedestal, there are six layers of stones carved with different shapes such as seawater, dragon, lotus petals, drum-shaped, raspberry-shaped, etc., supporting the two-layer octagonal pillar body of the lotus stone in the middle. The lower layer of the lower body is carved on eight sides or sits or stands, a Buddha statue of different shapes; the south side of the upper layer is engraved with the words "the pagoda was built in the fourth year of Song Shaosheng, Ding Chou to the Ming Chongzhen, the tenth day of the first month of the first month of the land month, the former Qincha Fujian Middle Road Deputy General Wang Shangzhong donated money to rebuild" and so on, and the remaining seven sides are engraved with the words "Amitabha Buddha in the south" in a vertical row of six-character regular script. On the body of the building, with the thirteen layers of stones of various shapes carved with Buddha statues, lotus flowers and other patterns, the upward points are collected upwards to form the top of the five-fold octagonal eaves, towering and peculiar, and the gourd-shaped pinnacle is placed on it. This scripture building is carved and ancient, the shape is unique, and it is located at the intersection of three streets, there is a huge banyan tree in front of it, and there is a tower mouth nunnery as a lining in the back, the style is unique.

Tang Chen looked at this prayer building in a daze, and suddenly a flash of inspiration blurted out: "I know, I know!"

Zhou Xuanying knew what he was talking about: "You thought of it?"

"That's right, you see, the spirit turtle, the lion, plus the lotus, the gourd-topped gossip-shaped scripture building, there is a dragon underneath, and there is an ancient well, this is a hint that the dragon is suppressed under this city! And it is not an ordinary dragon, it is a water dragon!" Tang Chen's voice was not loud, but in Zhou Xuanying's ears, he felt that this was a fantasy.

"Tang Chen, you're too good at making it up, none of these things seem to be able to be connected!" Zhou Xuanying naturally didn't believe it.

At this time, an old voice suddenly came from the side: "Young man has good eyesight!"

Tang Chen looked back and saw that it was a sturdy old man who was already old, Tang Chen was stunned and asked, "Are you always?"

"I was born and raised here, and you young people want to hear the legends here?" the old man laughed.

Tang Chen quickly understood: "About the water dragon?"

"Yes, I don't need to say it, you already see it very clearly. Young man, you're afraid you're an earth master, don't you? I don't know who you're learning from?" asked the old man.

Tang Chen hurriedly gave a disciple salute: "Senior, I am a family heirloom, and I have no teacher. I don't know which sect of old-timer you are, what should you call it?"

"I'm not a feng shui master, but my ancestors are ......," the old man sighed, "I didn't expect that the feng shui that I, an old man, had not inherited, was actually learned so thoroughly by a young man." ”

Tang Chen said modestly: "I am not good at learning, but I just had a flash of inspiration and saw something, which is not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning." ”
