The culture of the Chinese people is like this, I may not care if you demolish the Golden Temple, but if you demolish my ancestral tomb, I will break the net with you, even if the emperor comes, I have to fight.

Hearing this, Yang Guang knew that the situation was not good, and immediately followed Ma Gu to that place first.

At this time, a large group of people were gathering on the hill, and when they saw Yang Guang coming, with two or three hundred soldiers behind him, the noisy atmosphere immediately quieted down.

Yang Guang climbed up the hill and looked around, then asked: "Magu, there is no so-called ancestral tomb here." ”

Ma Gu pointed to the other side in the distance and said, "Your Highness, the ancestral tomb of the Bai family is on that mountain, which is very close, and said that if we open the mountain, it will destroy Feng Shui, so they rushed over when they learned the news." ”

Yang Guang learned about the situation, and he thought that when he explored the route before, he didn't seem to see any large-scale graves, and he didn't really have to dig people's ancestral graves, so the situation was much easier to say.

"I don't know where the head of the Bai family is?"

At this time, a white-haired old man on crutches came out of the crowd.

The hair is gray, but the eyes are bright, and the dress is also very particular, and the few people who follow him should be his children and nephews, and the clothes are far more luxurious than others.

Magu Road has already told Yang Guang about the situation of this family, the Bai family has made a fortune since the previous generation, it has to be traced back to the period of the Eight Pillars of the Northern Wei Dynasty, when the head of the Bai family held an important position in Luozhou, worked under the hands of the Eight Pillars, and the children and grandchildren competed, the second generation continued to grow, and now the side branches are distributed in Luozhou and the surrounding counties, and there are not a few people who hold official positions.

The current head of the Bai family is named Bai Ting, and his reputation is very high, and if there is a major event involving the people in the area around Luoyang City, he basically has to come out and discuss it.

Such a person jumped out to find something, and he didn't really dig the ancestral grave, Yang Guang instantly smelled the smell of conspiracy, but he couldn't be completely sure.

"The grass people are white, and I have seen His Royal Highness the King of Jin."

Bai Ting is respectful and polite, without losing his demeanor.

Yang Guang stepped forward and said cordially: "I have heard the name of the head of the Bai family for a long time, and I have only seen it today, I have heard that the head of the Bai family is virtuous and elegant, and he is a model for the township. ”

Although Yang Guang was smiling, Bai Ting could feel the coldness from his words.

Bai Ting smiled bitterly and shook his head: "His Royal Highness the King of Jin looks up to the old decay, the decay is usually rarely even out of the door, today I heard that His Royal Highness the King of Jin is going to open a canal, the canal happens to pass by the ancestral tomb of our Bai family, the government wants to demolish the ancestral grave, the descendants of the township are extraordinarily impulsive, the old decay is afraid that the young people will do the wrong thing impulsively, so they came out to stop it." ”

Yang Guang smiled slightly, his eyes narrowed slightly: "In this way, this king has a lot to thank the head of the Bai family." ”

Bai Ting's face did not change, and his heart did not beat: "The ability of old decay is slight, but it is incumbent on me to do something for the imperial court." ”

After a conversation at the first meeting, Yang Guang understood that the old man in front of him was not a person to deal with, no matter what he said, he was slow and methodical, and he was soft, you couldn't find his mistakes and omissions, this kind of old guy who had lived for a long time was extremely difficult to deal with.

Yang Guang looked at the location of the ancestral tomb of the Bai family, the hill next door was full of sunshine, and the temple built at the location of the ancestral tomb of the Bai family was indeed extremely prosperous.

"Master Bai, now the imperial court is going to build a canal, I see that although this place is very close to your ancestral tomb, it is not on a mountain after all, and it is not considered to have touched your ancestral tomb, and I also ask the head of the Bai family and the clansmen to talk about it, don't stop the construction."

Bai Ting sighed helplessly: "His Royal Highness the King of Jin, do you know, several mountains here are continuous, to the distance to receive water, called the long snake to draw water is the top of the good feng shui situation, back then the father is to see the terrain and feel that the feng shui is excellent, so they all asked the court to buy it, now if the mountain is opened, the long snake will be broken, Your Highness, this can be related to the prosperity of our entire Bai family." ”

As soon as this kind of thing is involved, it is a brainstorm, and it is no problem to dig up the ancestral graves of others indiscriminately according to his own power, not to mention that he is a Bai family, and it is not a problem to add two families, but he has to pay attention to word-of-mouth and influence, we can't be people who are scolded by others, this kind of thing is never good to spread.

But if the canal is diverted because of this incident, the surrounding mountains are his family's, and he will have to take a better detour.

"Master Bai, what about today's matter, this king has already understood, let the clansmen disperse first, this king's words count, and he will not dig the mountain privately."

Bai Ting was also very straightforward, turned around and reprimanded the children of the clan behind him: "Everyone has heard the words of His Royal Highness the King of Jin, and they all go home with peace of mind, this is the king of Jin, and it is difficult to chase after each other, you are all worried about something, go home quickly, don't make trouble, if you violate the order, don't blame me for punishing you to kneel in the ancestral hall." ”

With Bai Ting's reprimand, a group of Bai family members retreated one after another, and Bai Ting also turned around and said, "His Royal Highness King Jin, that old man retired first." ”

"Master Bai, slow down."

"I wonder what else is going on with Your Highness?"

"Today, it is rare for you and me to see each other, it is better to walk together, this king also wants to worship the ancestors of the Bai family."

Yang Guang's words made Bai Ting unable to find any reason to refuse, so he said, "Your Highness, please here." ”

Several people walked towards another mountain, and came to the place where the ancestral tomb of the Bai family is located, this small peak is not high, the sun is abundant, and the incense has not been broken in the temple on the mountain, and the people of the Bai family are enshrined in the ancestral tablet in the temple.

Bai Ting said: "There are two ancestral halls of the Bai family, one is here, and the other is the big ancestral hall in the clan, the big ancestral hall is larger, and the smaller ones are built here because of the regional relationship, but the two places are the same as the tablets, and there are special people who go up the mountain to burn incense on the fifteenth day of the new year. ”

Yang Guang followed him into the temple, and then respectfully lit the incense, because of the identity problem, he couldn't worship, but if he lit the incense, it was meaningful.

Bai Ting took the incense ordered by Yang Guang and then bowed down to his ancestors devoutly: "The ancestors and the ancestors are above, the descendants Bai Ting kneels and worships today, fortunately His Royal Highness the King of Jin is here, the incense of the Bai family will be prosperous, and the ancestors will bless it." ”

At this time, there were fewer people, Yang Guang stood beside Bai Ting and asked, "Master of the Bai family, you just said that your Bai family bought this mountain, when did you buy it?" ”

Bai Ting's face did not change: "I bought it during the reign of Emperor Xiaoming of the Northern Wei Dynasty." ”

It's been almost seventy years since now, and it's been a long time, but Bai Ting is still right.

The Sui Dynasty used the foundation of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the Sui Dynasty recognized the Northern Zhou, the Northern Zhou recognized the Northern Wei, and the noble system also had a lot of inheritance from that era, so it is difficult to make a fuss about this matter, otherwise it has to be overthrown all the time, according to the cumbersome degree of etiquette in this era, it may not be as convenient as a detour.

Yang Guang thought about it and found another way to persuade him.

"Master of the Bai family, you just said that this place is the terrain of the long snake drawing water, but I see that the river in the distance is narrow, and this long snake drawing water may not be enough to conceive the Bai family.

Hearing Yang Guang say this, Yuan Tiantian couldn't help but want to roll his eyes behind him, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand feng shui.

Bai Ting smiled helplessly: "Your Highness, you want to open the canal, it stands to reason that the old man and others should never stop it, and they should share their worries for His Highness, but it involves the ancestral tomb and thousands of clansmen, and the old man can only come out hard, His Highness is not as good as this, the canal is detoured, and the extra cost will be borne by the Bai family, please forgive your Highness." ”

Suddenly, a woman's voice sounded: "The head of the Bai family, the long snake drawing water is already the limit, if the head of the Bai family really wants the Bai family to prosper, he should move the grave." ”

Bai Ting looked at the owner of the voice, it was a little girl with a little baby fat standing behind Yang Guang, she looked cute and exquisite, she only thought it was Yang Guang's personal maid before, and she kept following, but she didn't expect them to speak at this time, and the maid actually dared to interject.

"Your Highness, who is this?"

Yang Guang didn't know how to introduce Yuan Tiantian for a while, saying that she was a maidservant, so she naturally had no right to interject, but she didn't come up with a good position, so she said in a flash of inspiration: "The witch in the palace." ”

Yuan Tiantian never thought that Yang Guang could arrange such an identity for her indiscriminately, she wanted to speak before, but Yang Guang never called him, this kind of feng shui metaphysics is her ancestral ability, she guessed that Yang Guang didn't expect it.

"Why does Your Highness go out and bring a female ...... Witch. ”

"For the sake of ...... Safe. ”

Bai Ting looked like a human spirit, glanced at the beautiful witch, and then contacted the witch to interject at will, Yang Guang did not blame, he felt that this witch should be a sheep's head selling dog meat.

Bai Ting replied: "Disrespectful and disrespectful." ”

Yang Guang only reacted at this time to say that it was time to use Yuan Tiantian in feng shui, and since she had spoken, there should be a way to deal with it.

Yang Guang immediately asked: "Tiantian, what did you say just now that the long snake is already the limit?" ”

Yuan Tiantian answered: "All the ancestral tombs, ancestral houses and other buildings of the descendants of the future generations are basically difficult to escape the saying that one jiazi changes, this is not nothing, but the migration of feng shui, and the change of mountains and rivers." ”

"Take this as an example, I saw it when I came, it is indeed a good terrain, called Changlong Drawing Water, the Bai Patriarch should avoid the dragon word and be named Long Snake Drawing Water, so the most prosperous place is not the head of the dragon, but the horn of the dragon, that's right, the person who was the Bai family was a master back then."

Hearing this, Bai Ting no longer had a contempt for Yuan Tiantian, but asked, "Why did the girl say that she had reached the limit." ”

"The mountains and rivers have changed their momentum, the mountains have not changed, but the rivers have been lost, I think the small rivers in front of the year should be wider, but with the siltation of sediment and the narrowing of the rivers, this burst of prosperity has more than one Jiazi of the Bai family, and it has been wiped out, and the day when the water is exhausted, when the long dragon goes."
