Chapter 13: The First Appearance of the Willow Tree
No matter how tired we were the day before, no matter how late we slept at night, the next morning, we were all in good spirits. Since we had just arrived in Yanagi Village, and the previous mission was too smooth, this time, we didn't go straight to work as before, but wandered around the village to get acquainted with the situation.
Looking at the scenery around you all the way, you pay attention all the way. This willow village has a strong atmosphere of a village during the Republic of China, but this seemingly peaceful village actually has too many secrets inside. Along the road, the whole village is centered on a street, surrounded by green trees, red walls, black tiles and fields on both sides, and the people along the street have used their houses to open a small shop and do small business, and those who are far away from the street set up stalls on the side of the street, or farm, and live a small life in peace and stability. You can also see some big families on this street, and among the houses of these big families, there are some gardens.
After leaving the street, you will find a village house surrounded by greenery. From a distance, the golden corn crowds the beams on the house, strings of dried chili peppers hang on the pillars of the house, and the flaming spring couplets and New Year paintings are antique. Behind the house, a group of yellow sheep grazing with their heads bowed on the green grass. Blue sky, white clouds, and a tranquil mountain village are like a wonderful watercolor painting.
The wheat seedlings in the fields are like a sea, the villages dotted with are unsinkable boats, and there is a crystal clear stream in the village that runs through the entire Liumu Village, and the stream is "blazing and blazing" all year round The birds in the trees are not willing to be lonely, singing merrily, as if in harmony with the sound of the stream, forming a moving symphony, and the agile children running on the dry road covered with bare feet, and the cheerful chatter of the peasant women washing by the pool and the axes of the peasants repairing the rakes in the yard.
Before I knew it, the day was almost over, and when I saw that it was not early, I walked back the way I was. When the sun was about to set, I walked on the village path and saw the scene of people eating dinner in the countryside that I could not see in the city: some people sat on stone benches in the courtyard to eat, and some people put the tables and chairs in their own yard to eat and ate happily. The red glow on the horizon, the evening breeze, the birds returning to their nests on the horizon and the people in the countryside together form a natural, harmonious and beautiful pastoral landscape painting.
"It's a nice view. Le Xuan said with a wicked smile.
"Yes, yes. But don't you think there are too many willows here?"
"What's wrong with the willow tree? Willow Village was named Willow Village because of the production of willow wood, and of course there are more willow trees. Styx Yang blurted out, and there was some disapproval in his words.
"Haven't you heard?" I looked at the sun, his expression not very understanding.
"What did you hear?"
Legend has it that the willow tree is one of the four ghost trees in ancient times, and there is a superstition that gathers yin spirits; there is also a legend that the willow tree is a masculine tree species, and the folk are mostly used to ward off evil spirits and attract feng shui. ”
"These are superstitious claims that have no scientific basis. Styx Yang directly denied it.
"But even if you produce willows, there are too many willows here, whether it's on the street, in the gardens of large families, or near village houses, and it's too much of a coincidence that this is happening here, and sometimes, even if there is no scientific basis, you have to believe it. ”
"Then why wasn't that the case before?" the Stygian Sun tried to disprove my claim.
"Do you believe that there is another world and Feng Shui?" I asked, looking at the sun.
"I believe in Feng Shui, but I don't believe there is another world. ”
"I can tell you that my current idea is that someone is building this place with a clever combination of feng shui, building and mechanics, and even using abilities to connect these to another world. If someone who is not familiar with the doorway wants to completely renovate this place, he will touch the mechanism, or someone who understands it, and he does it on purpose, but after doing so, he does not get what he wants. ”
"You see it thoroughly. Bai Shenghuang smiled.
"These are yet to be examined. It's just that these are not just antiquities......" I didn't finish the next sentence, but Pei Yilin and they all understood. Now, I feel more and more that these things to look for are not simple, and there must be something hidden.
Before I knew it, I had returned to the courtyard, and when I visited this willow village, I also bought some things and equipment in case of emergency, in case of accidents.
To be honest, in fact, it is also beneficial to live in this courtyard, we can release our divine beasts, and breathe well, as long as they are not discovered, but ordinary people are invisible, and they will also be invisible at the right time. Other than that, there is no sense of constraint in a hotel.
"Cangxunsu (xiu), I have a question for you. "The sun walked up to me.
"Just ask. "I don't have a lot of expressions.
"Is there really anyone in this world who can perfectly and skillfully combine feng shui, mechanisms and the surrounding environment to a realm like Liumu Village?"
"Yes, in the thousands of years of Chinese history, there are all kinds of geniuses, but some crafts have disappeared with the long river of time. ”
"Then why is this method only used in Yanagi Village?"
"The main principle of this method is to use willow wood is one of the four ghost trees, which has the characteristics of gathering yin spirits, and the specific method will only be known after looking at it. ”
"It's really high. ”
"The technique is high, because ordinary people will not think of touching these willow trees, and they will think of moving these willow trees, or even destroying them, and there are only two kinds of people: one is the person who wants to use the good willow trees here for business, so he will cut down the willow trees, so that he destroys the feng shui and touches the mechanism, and the other is that someone knows the secret, but he can't solve the mystery in it, so he messes around, and the result is that the mechanism is touched, which leads to the current situation. ”
"You're not very old, but you're much more mature and knowledgeable than your peers. "Styx admires it very much.
"I don't know more than others, what I say is just my intuition and speculation, and I have experienced more than others, and I have specialized in art. I defended myself.
"It's even more different. Stygian Yang said what was in his heart very sincerely.
"This kind of difference is really not something that ordinary people can afford. I smiled wryly, because I was different from ordinary people, so I was often looked at with colored eyes, but I had long been used to it, and everyone was silent at this moment......
