Chapter 1 The Chen Family's Yin Mansion
My name is Zhang Soulyi, I was born in the nineteenth year of this year, and the people in the village like to call me a soul upside down, which is strange and scary at first glance.
In the year I was born, a strange thing happened in the village, all the wells dried up overnight, and not only that, but the small river leading to the back mountain in front of the village also dried up.
A keel was exposed in the mud, which also alarmed the local authorities, and later heard that it was not a keel, but the remains of a buffalo.
The village chief asked my grandfather about the cause of the dry water, and my grandfather was a feng shui gentleman from Shangfeng Village, who was famous, and he would look for him whenever he encountered ghosts and gods.
In my grandfather's words, the reason why the water in the village disappeared was all related to the dragon king's sacrifice, in other words, the water vapor was taken away by the dragon king.
When the village chief asked my grandfather when the disappeared water would come back, my grandfather smiled mysteriously, pointed to me who was sleeping soundly in swaddling clothes, and said, "Then you have to ask my grandson." ”
Shangfeng Village is located in the Yunling Mountains, with little contact with the outside world, most of the old people in the village are superstitious, and my grandfather is a feng shui gentleman, so after hearing this, the eyes of the old people in the village have changed when they look at me.
There are surprises, there are doubts, and more are curious, those who are young naturally don't believe it, thinking that my grandfather is a god of the rivers and lakes, all day long, ghosts and ghosts.
When everyone left, the village chief took my grandfather and asked in a low voice, "You have a big background with your newly added grandson!"
Grandpa made a silent gesture, as if he was afraid that others would hear it. "Not really. ”
"Lao Zhang, don't sell it, tell me quickly, what is his origin?" The village chief firmly believed in my grandfather's words, and many times, his words were fulfilled.
In the village chief's heart, my grandfather is a person with real skills.
Grandpa shook his head, indicating that he didn't know either, but after he had stared at my face for a long time, he said, "After tonight, the water will come back by itself." ”
The village chief nodded and asked no more.
Sure enough, that night, as soon as the hour passed, the water in the well gurgled and rose, and the small river in front of the village was restored to its original appearance.
Since then, my grandfather's fame has grown, and he even alarmed the rich people in the city, personally went to the mountains, walked dozens of miles, and asked my grandfather to go out of the mountains and see feng shui for them.
When I grew up, my grandfather told me that I was the one who made him.
I didn't understand it at first, but later I learned why!
Because of this, our family was lifted out of poverty. And I, too, can afford to go to college.
Because the name is so strange, I have not been looked down upon by my classmates since I was a child, and I once asked my grandfather why he had such a scary name.
Grandpa said that my three souls are not aligned, my soul is missing, and the five elements are short of water, so I must add one to my name in order to preserve my soul, otherwise I will not live to be nineteen.
At a very young age, I mastered the knowledge of the five elements of yin and yang, and in the gossip of the day after tomorrow, one represents Kan, and Kan is water. The azimuth is due north, and the color is black.
I was still young, and although I didn't understand the meaning, I listened a lot and wrote it down.
On my sixteenth birthday, my grandfather gave me a booklet, which was densely packed with small print, a manuscript about Feng Shui, and told me to keep it safe so that I could not lose it, and told me that I could not find a second book in this world, and asked me to study it carefully in my free time.
It took me three years to memorize the above.
College life was boring, and as soon as I was on vacation, I dragged my salute back to my hometown in the mountains early.
Just in time for my grandfather to show a family surnamed Chen feng shui.
Because my grandfather's newly accepted apprentice had crutches and was unable to move, my grandfather asked me to be his little apprentice, but I was unwilling, thinking that my grandfather's industry was more mysterious, and I was more interested in ghosts and gods, so I agreed.
But I demanded that the money given by the proprietor be divided equally.
Grandpa didn't scold me for this, but said that I was a white-eyed wolf who couldn't be raised, and wished he would die early, so that he could take away his coffin.
The white thing is to deal with the dead, but the grandfather is only responsible for showing the deceased the underworld and dealing with some special events, such as defrauding the corpse, sliding the coffin of the corpse, and calculating the auspicious time of the undead.
Calculating the hour seems simple, but it requires mastering a huge amount of astrological knowledge, as well as the five elements that are difficult to remember.
The rest is to hand it over to those masters who can dance the gods, which is also the division of labor in the industry, and no one will say anything.
The Yin House is much more complicated than the Yang House, and it is not clear in a few words.
The most commonly heard is to find the dragon point, which is a skill that Feng Shui masters must master, and dragon, sand, acupoint, water, and direction are also one of the criteria to test whether the feng shui master has real skills.
The word feng shui has been used for a long time, and the ancients believed that one life, two fortunes, three feng shui, four names, five readings, six seven phases and eight worshipping gods, nine friendships, wealth and ten health.
It can be seen that Feng Shui is linked to fate and is related to a person's future achievements.
In the eyes of Feng Shui masters, everyone's death has a fixed time, which has an extremely important impact on future generations.
When a person is born, he or she can be deduced whether he is rich or poor in his life. After death, there is also a set of deference laws, which are also dead, but they are divided into three, six, nine and so on.
Some people say that if you are born well, you can have no worries about food and clothing, gold and jade, silk and satin, wealth and leisure, and live a life in peace.
In fact, the good of dying is the most mysterious magic phenomenon in Feng Shui. There are three types of death, one is death from illness, one is accidental death, and the other is death from old age.
Old age death is also what we often call the end of life, which belongs to natural death, and those who can die of natural old age are people who are not lost, and it is undoubtedly a great blessing for future generations, and it will develop within three generations.
Death from illness and accidental death is not a normal death, and it has a certain impact on the descendants of children. Yin house feng shui was born in this situation.
The ancients hoped to provide a comfortable residence for the deceased by changing the feng shui of the deceased and correcting the magnetic field, and with the help of the natural power of mountains and rivers to strengthen the ancestral lineage, shelter future generations, and become rich and peaceful.
The ancestral feng shui secret art of the Zhang family was inherited from the national teacher of the Tang Dynasty, Yang Yunsong. Yang Yunsongguan to Jin Ziguanglu Doctor, in charge of Lingtai geography, was a famous geographical feng shui scientist in the Tang Dynasty.
Mingyi, alias Xuanchi, is known as "the poor immortal".
He is the author of "The Doubtful Dragon Sutra", "The Shaking Dragon Sutra", "A Grain of Millet", "The Heavenly Jade Sutra", "The Dutianbao Zhaojing", "Tianyuan Black Rabbit Sutra" and other works.
I've read all these books, and I don't know where my grandfather got them, but sometimes I feel that my grandfather is quite mysterious, saying that this is a secret, and only our family has it.
Insiders call the Feng Shui patriarch Yang Gong.
There is a passage in Yang Gong's secret note about the detailed interpretation of the time of the dead to the descendants of the descendants. There is a special set of palm mantras, called, the dead row of the mountain palm.
I have already mastered this method of decryption.
Not only have I mastered this method, but I will also draw some talismans to ward off evil spirits and avoid evil, as well as ways to open the eyes of yin and yang.
The Chen family is a big family, dozens of miles away from Shangfeng Village, although it is a mountain road, fortunately, it has been opened to cars now, and the traffic is much more convenient. I heard that the money for the road construction was given by Mrs. Chen's eldest son.
When my grandfather and I went to Chen's house, it was Mrs. Chen's youngest son, Chen Wen, who came out to receive us.
may know my grandfather's fame in this township, so he is very polite when he speaks, and personally pours tea and water for my grandfather. Compared with my grandfather's treatment, my treatment was a little shabby, and I sat for a long time without anyone saying hello.
I haven't gotten rid of the student spirit yet, and I can't get into the eyes of the Chen family at all.
When everyone looked at me, there was something weird, only when I had left the relationship and came to mix money. In fact, I'm here to make money.
Mrs. Chen tripped on the threshold and fell to her death when she got out of bed last night to relieve her hands, and she couldn't be considered to be dying. The reason why I invited my grandfather from afar was also for this matter, and I heard that people who died unexpectedly were resentful.
I hope that my grandfather will find a good yin house for their Chen family, bless their children and grandchildren, avoid unjustified disasters, and be full of blessings and wealth, and have a safe life.
Grandpa asked Mrs. Chen's eight characters, pinched his fingers, and walked towards the mourning hall.
At this time, the mourning hall has been fully arranged.
The two sides of the mourning hall are full of wreaths sent by relatives and friends, giving people a very depressing feeling, and the big red coffin placed in the center is carried by two benches, with a large inscription, facing the main gate.
The sadness that was invisibly revealed made me shocked.
The coffin is made of cypress, the five elements of cypress belong to the yin to protect the yin soul, the texture is delicate, the texture is hard, the water resistance and anti-corrosion, can play a role in calming the soul.
The reason why the coffin is carried on a bench is to revere the undead, and it is also to avoid the infestation of cats and dogs, and to avoid the occurrence of corpse fraud.
The ancients believed that the coffin is the body of a person after death, carrying the ancestral veins of the utensils, the size of the size, the internal structure has subtle requirements, before the burial, the coffin can not fall to the ground, otherwise it will be unfavorable to the owner, in serious cases, it will lead to the destruction of the main family, or even extinction.
The depth of the tomb dug during the burial is all paid attention to, including how deep the tombstone should be buried, all in the mind of the feng shui master, and not every tombstone is buried in the same scale.
This has to be determined according to the eight characters of the deceased and the time of death, and it is necessary to avoid the time of the burial of the murderer on the day, that is, the time of Luo Tian's great retreat mentioned in the industry, in which the heavenly stem must be born together, so that the earth soul can take root, and the earth branch must be Liuhe, and there can be no punishment to break through the harm, and finally through complex calculations, it is deduced.
All of the above is not allowed by the feng shui master to be sloppy, and any slight difference may affect the fortune of the deceased's descendants. Therefore, the character of a feng shui master is extremely important, which is also the fundamental reason why it is not a secret.
It is simply too simple for a feng shui master to think about a whole family. The so-called killing is invisible! refers to the number of feng shui techniques.
After a person dies, he has to go through several processes, and according to different local customs, the process is not the same, but it roughly includes sending off the end, changing clothes, reporting funeral, burning the yin car, sending paper, hanging paper, kowtowing filial piety, and criticizing the list.
After all, I had mixed with my grandfather, so I was more courageous, and I followed my grandfather's example, looking directly at Mrs. Chen's face in the coffin, and I had a very strange feeling in my heart, as if I was not looking at Mrs. Chen but a bloodless white mask.
But I knew that under this pale face was a soulless body.
Since I was playing the role of an apprentice, I had to listen to my grandfather's command.
"Check if the longevity shoes on Mrs. Chen's feet are wearing properly. ”
Only then did I notice that Mrs. Chen's feet had been wrapped, and the shoes and socks that the Chen family wore for her were obviously ill-fitting.
"Don't blame Grandma Chen, I'll put on your shoes and socks for you, so that you won't fall when you walk in the underworld. I muttered a few times in my mouth and saluted Mrs. Chen, and then I reached out to tidy her up.
I don't know if I was too nervous, or if Mrs. Chen's itch was low, I actually saw her feet move.
I retracted my hand violently, and my back instantly froze.
I thought it was an illusion, and I was stunned for a few seconds, and I had the courage to put on the birthday shoes on Mrs. Chen's right foot, but I heard someone laugh "giggle".
If everyone else in the big mourning hall was kicked out by my grandfather before my grandfather and I came in, who would be this voice?
I subconsciously looked at Mrs. Chen's shriveled mouth, and I didn't notice anything abnormal, could it be that I heard it wrong? I thought so in my heart, but suddenly I heard someone talking behind me.
"Stinky boy, how to learn the real skills of the hairy man, go to get the requiem talisman. "Grandpa kicked me away with his foot and startled me.
I don't know if he deliberately broke me off, or if there was another reason. Even if the requiem is used, it shouldn't be now.
At this time, Chen Wen came in from outside the door, and his grandfather didn't look back, but pointed directly to the longevity shoes on Mrs. Chen's feet, and asked, "There is no trumpet?"
Chen Wen shook his head in shame. "I looked for it, but I didn't. ”
Grandpa didn't say anything and called me out.
"We can't look at the Chen family's yin house!"
"But, we've received all three thousand yuan!" I've never heard of it, and there is a yin mansion that grandpa can't see, so I glanced at the bulging pocket on my grandfather's left with some regret.
Cooked duck, is it just flying!
Grandpa was about to lecture me a few words when a limousine drove up.
"Zhang Soulyi, what are you doing at my house?" a long-haired beauty got out of the car, and her tone was very unfriendly.
