Chapter 654: Holding the Bull's Ear
"The top of the mountain is the top of the mountain, where else?" asked Zhou Deqing puzzled.
Tang Chen smiled and said, "Old Zhou, didn't you say that this mountain looks like a cow, and where is the cow here?"
"Where is the cow?"
Zhou Deqing didn't react for a while, and after looking at it for a long time, he suddenly said: "This should be a cow's ear!"
"Haha, that's right, it's the ears of cows. Tang Chen laughed and said, "Old Zhou, you should have heard of a word called 'Holding Bull Ear'......"
"Holding Niu Er?" Zhou Deqing was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized, "Could it be that as long as a Wenchang Pagoda is erected in this place, it is possible to be a Wenkui?"
"Wen Kui?" Tang Chen smiled bitterly, "I don't know about this, but it is certain that I will be among the best in my studies." You must know that this 'holding bull's ear' was originally transformed from 'blood for the alliance', first cut off the cow's ear to take blood, and put the cow's ear on the bead plate, and the main alliance was held by the plate, and the main alliance was called 'holding the cow's ear' at that time. The main alliance took the lead in smearing the blood of the ox that had worshiped the gods of heaven and earth on his mouth, and then the allies continued to shed blood one after another, indicating that they had the gods of heaven and earth as a mirror for each other, and they should stick to the covenant and keep their word. If there is a violator, he will be punished by the gods and will eventually die like an ox. This kind of ritual of 'blood alliance' was very grand in ancient times, and later it was used to refer to a person who was in a leading position in a certain aspect, and it was also used as a synonym for 'first'.
This piece of feng shui treasure, if the Wenchang Pagoda is erected here, and there are 'seven stars falling to the ground', one high and one low, one yin and one yang, it can be described as a perfect match. But the disadvantage is that this mountain dragon is a branch dragon, and it is also a hidden dragon in the abyss, which has not yet taken shape, and I am afraid that it will take more effort to cultivate soil and fill sand.
Of course, even if the soil and sand are not in place now, the impact on the feng shui treasure land is minimal. That's why I said that I would take the first place in my studies, which is not guaranteed. After all, there is no first in the text, there is no second in the martial arts, and with the defects in feng shui, there may be some discounts in the effect......"
"It's okay!" Zhou Deqing was already overjoyed, if he could really let the Zhou family enter the scholarly family, what was this defect? Not to mention filling in a mountain, filling in ten mountains is nothing in Zhou Deqing's eyes! "If it's really like what you said, let alone just one tower, even ten towers are nothing!"
Tang Chen smiled bitterly and said, "Old Zhou, don't be too happy first, there are a lot of troubles here." This Wenchang tower needs 13 floors to be promoted to the extreme, and I think it should be difficult to approve such a tower, right? And to fill the mountain, do you have to get the approval of the forestry department? If it is ......?"
"None of this is a problem!"
Zhou Deqing waved his hand domineeringly, this problem is really not a problem, Daguan Tea Garden is a big taxpayer in Qingxi County, can't even this privilege be denied? Not to mention how the policy is, there are policies and countermeasures here, but it has been popular in China for thousands of years, and as long as the relationship is good, this problem is really not a problem. Now Zhou Deqing only cares about whether this Wenchang Tower really has an effect? "As long as you are sure that this tower will really have an effect after it is completed, then we will do it!"
Zhou Deqing didn't care, but Tang Chen understood, not to mention that building a tower in ancient times required all the wealth, even if it was to build a tower now, the investment would be expensive. After all, this Wenchang tower is also divided into types, such as wooden towers, brick towers, reinforced concrete towers...... If it is a reinforced concrete tower, this should be more than a million can be taken down. If it is a brick tower, I am afraid that it will not be able to double it; if it is a wooden tower, it will be even more expensive, and even wood is not cheap these days! If Zhou Deqing wants to repair it, he must build a 13-story tower, and how much wood will be consumed for this 13-story wooden tower? You must know that the strong and durable wood is much more expensive than brick cement, and bricks are more expensive than cement. Millions of dollars to get a wooden tower, this is still an upfront investment, and someone has to take care of it, and after it is built, it will be moth-proof or something every year, which is another expense.
For Zhou Deqing, everything that can be solved with money is a trivial matter. It's just that if you want Wenyun Changtong, the third day of the second month of the lunar calendar every year is the birthday of Emperor Wenchang, and the descendants of the Zhou family have to go up to the tower to sweep. You must know that this wooden tower is much more elaborate than brick towers and cement towers, and I don't know how many years the Zhou family can last?
When Tang Chen said the stakes, Zhou Deqing decided: "Build a brick tower, thirteen floors!"
Tang Chen was secretly impressed by Zhou Deqing's arrogance, these millions seemed to be hundreds of yuan, and he said that he would take it out, it was really domineering!" "Well, the brick tower is indeed a good choice, the wooden tower is troublesome to maintain, and it will be destroyed if it catches fire." Although the reinforced concrete tower is strong, it is easy to form burst marks under the wind and rain, which affects the effect of feng shui. Only the brick tower, which is both strong and beautiful, the key is that it is not easy to produce cracks. The ancients also respected the brick tower, after all, the ancient wood was cheap, but the bricks were expensive. Now the situation is just the opposite, bricks are cheaper, and the price of wood has risen sharply. ”
Zhou Deqing said with a smile: "Where the ancients would consider environmental protection in many cases, it is only what modern people want. If the environment is protected, forests will not be cut down at will, and there will naturally be less wood. This thing is scarce and expensive, and the price naturally rises when there is less wood. ”
Tang Chen also understood this truth, smiled and said: "The style of this tower is also very important, Zhou Lao, you can find a special design team, and there will be no mistake in imitating the Wenchang Tower in the South China Sea." After a pause, Tang Chen continued, "After the Wenchang Pagoda and temple are built, there are a few things to pay attention to. ”
Zhou Deqing was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Tell me about it?"
Tang Chen noticed that after the True Dragon's Den was hit by him, the fog that had originally filled the air had gradually dissipated, and the little rain that was falling was also completely "subdued" by the sun, and at this moment, the whole land was sunny, and the sun was shining. Tang Chen pulled Zhou Deqing to the shade of a pine tree that was still luxuriant, and then said: "The first is the incense offering, not only in the Wenchang Temple, Wenchang Pagoda in front of the incense can not be broken, even the family has to invite a Wenchang Emperor to come over, three incense sticks in the morning and evening, this is a must." Only when an echo is formed, the Zhou family's cultural movement will become more and more intense, and the competition will be more and more intense, and the competition will be carried out year after year.
Second, it is necessary to send children and grandchildren to sincerely recite the Wenchang scriptures "Wenchang Filial Piety Sutra", "Wenchang Emperor Yin Qi Wen", and "Taishang Wenchang Treasure Confession" in front of the statue of Emperor Wenchang at home, so as to enhance the fortune of Wenchang. Over time, the statue of Emperor Wenchang in your family will become a magic weapon, and that is when Wenyun will be out of control.
Thirdly, as I just said, every year on the birthday of Emperor Wenchang, that is, on the third day of the second month of the lunar calendar, I go to Wenchang Temple and Wenchang Tower to offer flowers, fruits, tea, snacks and other offerings. At the same time, it is necessary to sweep the Wenchang Temple and Wenchang Pagoda to sweep away the cobwebs and dirt. This procedure is essential, and it must be done in person to have an effect, and it cannot be done by others. ”
