Looking at the curling green smoke wafting out of the incense burner, Tang Chen's eyes were distracted, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Zeng Lao called many times in a row, and Tang Chen came back to his senses: "Zeng Lao, take a step to speak......"

No wonder Tang Chen is so cautious, inside and outside the Linghui Temple, there are many people who come to offer incense. Looking at their pious figures and whispered prayers, Tang Chen subconsciously thought that this was not the place to speak. The two of them walked far away, and Tang Chen's vision returned to normal from blur.

"Master Tang, what's so mysterious?"

At this time, Zeng Lao and Tang Chen were already walking on the way up the mountain, surrounded by dense forests.

Of course, as I have said before, because after the development of tourism resources on Liyu Island, the so-called dense forest has also declined to a great extent, and it is no longer possible to find the grand occasion of the past. However, there are still many migratory birds on the island, and the forest is full of scarce white bird droppings.

Tang Chen saw that there was no one around, so he asked in a low voice: "Elder Zeng, I have carefully investigated, this carp island is not simple!"

"Is it Shuikou Sand?" Zeng Lao guessed.

Tang Chen nodded and said, "That's right, it's indeed Shuikou Sand, and the pattern is not small." ”

After that, Tang Chen's hand pointed to his feet, "Just now, Zeng Lao said to himself, this island is shaped like a carp, so it is called Carp Island." In Shuikou sand, it is already very good to be able to form a pattern. The carp has always been a symbol of good luck, such as the homonym of 'fish' and 'yu', which symbolizes wealth and wealth. 'Like a fish in water' symbolizes a harmonious and happy life. "Mandarin fish" and "expensive" are homophonic, taking the meaning of "rich and rich". "Carp" and "Li" are homophonic, and "every family is profitable", which is to paint many people buying carp. 'Silver carp' and 'lian' are homophonic, and the picture composed of lotus flowers and silver carp is named 'Lian Lian Youyu'; 'goldfish' and 'golden jade' are homophonic, and the picture depicts a boy playing in a pond or fish tank where goldfish are raised, and is named 'Jinyu Mantang (Tang)'...... Therefore, when making ritual vessels, many fish-shaped ritual utensils have different meanings. This Liyu Island, in my opinion, 'Liyu' Island, almost does not need much survey, you can see that the living conditions of the people around it have been quite good since ancient times. Especially those who are in the trade, they will not make less money......"

"Master Tang, you are really a god!"

Zeng Lao couldn't help but give a thumbs up, "It is precisely because of this that since ancient times, Gongchuan Town has been the most prosperous area in Hui'an, and there are also the most merchants." Who let Fujian Province have more mountains and less fields since ancient times? If you don't do business, you don't go to sea, where can you go to mix rice and eat!"

Tang Chen nodded, and then said: "Xu Shanji's "Instructions for the Son of Man: Sand Law" said, 'Shuikou sand, the water flows to the mountains on both sides of the river. It must be carefully overlapped, intertwined and locked, narrow and plugged, high and arched...... Those who detour for tens of miles are the most important. Therefore, the shape of Shuikou Mountain must be carefully intertwined, the canine teeth are replaced, the peak is unique, and the different stones are pulled up. Its shape is like an ink, such as a beast, such as a turtle and a snake, such as a drum, the chariot and horse are congested, the sword and halberd stand in the forest, the momentum is like a tiger will be the pass, and the dragon Ben is guarded. In the mouth of the water, there is more Luo Xing to block the flow, to prevent the leakage of wealth, the mountains are surrounded by water, so that the water is reversed, and the affection is lingering, such as people turning back step by step, staying and not being able to bear to leave'. Liu Ji's "Kanyu Manxing" said, 'The shape of the mountain in Shuikou is uneven, the turtle, snake and lion elephant are always strange, the defense of the gate is still expensive, and Luo Xing is the base'. Liu Ji is also Liu Bowen, known as Liu Qingtian, and now there is a feng shui family of the Liu family in Qingtian County, which is his descendant. ”

Zeng Lao seemed to understand a little: "In other words, most of the birds and beasts formed by the sand at the mouth of the water are all excellent patterns?"

Tang Chen pondered this sentence carefully, and felt that there was no big problem, so he nodded and said: "Generally speaking, this is the case, looking forward to being affectionate, and the Shuikou sand formed is the most auspicious." You see, the confluence of Lingxi and Linrim Creek into the sea happens to be here at Liyu Island, and you have to look forward to it before you are willing to go to sea. ”

"Where can you see it?"

Zeng Lao asked with interest.

"It's the wonder of 'the stream and the sea will flow', the mixture of salt water and fresh water is the most telling thing!" Tang Chen said with a smile.

Zeng Lao thought about it carefully, and it seemed that this was the same reason, and then asked: "Then does the shape of this carp have any special significance?"

"There should be one...... Tang Chen wasn't quite sure, "For example, I remember learning a poem when I was in middle school, it seems to be 'A guest came from afar and left me a double carp.'" Hu'er cooks carp, there is a ruler book ......', ancient people wrote letters with silk silk, put it in the belly of the real carp and pass it to each other, called 'fish note'. ”

"That's right, this poem also formed an allusion to 'fish passing on rulers', and the Tang Dynasty poet Li Shangyin's "Sending Orders to Fox Langzhong" also wrote: 'Songyun Qin Shu has been away for a long time, and Shuangli has traveled a paper book'.

In the Sui and Tang dynasties, the imperial court issued a kind of letter symbol, which was cast into a fish shape by wood carving or copper, and was called 'fish symbol' and 'fish contract' when it was called. When using this symbol, cut it in half, and each side holds half of the fish symbol, in case both sides are in line with the letter as evidence.

In the Song Dynasty, in order to show the noble status of the user, there were fish charms made of gold materials. In the past dynasties, the theme of fish is auspicious, and there are fish lanterns, fish dances, and fish-related poems, calligraphy and paintings. Fish lanterns are mostly seen in the New Year's Lantern Festival, it is candlelight, and the image is cute. Emperor Xiao Yi of Liang Yuan of the Southern Dynasty once praised it as "The Lamp Fu": "I know that the dragon lantern should be no coincidence, and the fish lantern has an old name." The name of the Buddhist artifact with the word "fish" is 'fish drum', commonly known as 'wooden fish', and the monks beat it rhythmically when chanting. ”

Zeng Lao is worthy of being an expert in collecting antiques, and when he talks about allusions, he is pleasing to Tang Chen.

"The feng shui here is not bad, but it doesn't seem to be quite right...... "Just when Zeng Lao fell into self-absorption, Tang Chen suddenly said this, as if he had knocked a dull stick on the back of Zeng Lao's head.

"What, there is an abnormality in the aura?" Zeng was always bitten by a snake, and he was afraid of the well rope for ten years, so he almost didn't jump.

Tang Chen said solemnly: "That's right, and it's a decadent and gray color. ”

"Is it that man's means?" Zeng Lao was extremely angry, "Did he put his hand here?"

Tang Chen shook his head and said, "I'm not sure, I have to investigate carefully to see a hint of clues......

Seeing that Tang Chen was looking at it very seriously, Zeng Lao hurriedly took out the compass from his pocket. Tang Chen waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need the assistance of a compass. Compared with the compass, Tang Chen believed in his "Qi Viewing Technique" more.
