V2.Chapter 42 (1/2)

The speaker was an old man in the village, carrying a small bench on his back and laughing. The boss didn't mean anything else. He just said something handed down by the older generation and told it to the young people.

When the old man said this, many people in the village agreed, saying that they had heard of it. But for a while, few people can tell the truth. Anyway, they just heard it. There is an old saying that if you don't listen to the old man, you will suffer in front of you. Therefore, although no one can tell the truth, it has been followed for generations.

Zhou Wang, the father of pangdun Zhou Mingxu, coughed, stood up with his hands on his back, with a flying look on his face, smiled proudly and said, ”cough! I know why this statement was mentioned by my second uncle.”

Zhou Wang's second uncle is Professor Zhou. Professor Zhou studies Feng Shui. He is also a great scholar of traditional Chinese culture and a famous scholar in Shili village. The villagers encourage children to study hard. Speaking of Professor Zhou, what he said was naturally convincing, so people in the village asked Zhou Wang why he said ”there is no mulberry in front of the door and no willow behind the house”.

Xia Shao is a student of Professor Zhou. He knew Zhou Wang well when he was a child, so Zhou Wang looked at Xia Shao and said: ”Xiao Shao, didn't the professor mention it to you? It's a saying handed down by the older generation that mulberry is not planted in front of the door and willow is not planted behind the house. Because mulberry is the same as mourning, it's unlucky to see mourning in front of the door. As for not planting willow behind the house, it's also a homonym. Willows flow together. Money is easy to flow away from the back of the house and doesn't gather money.”

When Zhou Wang said this, all the people in the village immediately made a sudden voice and praised one after another, ”Oh! Professor Zhou is learned!”

Zhou Wang listened. Naturally, there was a light on his face. How can he not be proud of such a great Confucian scholar in his family? This is a blessing accumulated over the years. But now, Lao Xia's family is also developed. If the second uncle really didn't look away, he said that Xiaoshao is not a thing in the pool and will do something when he grows up. But the child hasn't grown up yet. He is 16 or 17 years old I'm very old!

”Xiaoshao, the professor didn't say that willows can't be planted in front of the house. I think it should be all right.” Zhou Wang said with a smile.

Xia Shao smiled and said: ”Uncle Zhou Wangshu, Professor Zhou is right. Chinese people usually pay attention to auspiciousness. Mulberry trees in front of the house and willows behind the house are really unlucky. Although willows are not planted behind the house, but in front of the house, they are not. Because the house sits in the north and south, with a green dragon in the East and a white tiger in the West. The tree species are on the right side of the door, so it becomes a white tiger tree. Women in the owner's house are in power , it's a villain. Fortunately, it was planted two days ago, otherwise it will become a evil spirit over time. ”

Xia Shao spoke slowly and smiled quietly. All the people in the village could hear clearly, but they were stunned.

This little girl, she speaks very clearly and clearly. I understand her very well!

Old Xia's little girl, how can she even understand these?

”Xiaoshaozi, who said these things?” grandma Jiang Shuhui asked aside. The old lady's kind face was full of surprise, as if she didn't believe her clever and sensible granddaughter. Even these old people thought they knew mysterious things.

Zhou Wang scratched his head. ”Should it be what my second uncle said?”

Xia Zhiyuan and Li Juan looked at each other and smiled secretly. Professor Zhou is just Professor Zhou. Anyway, his daughter is also Professor Zhou's student. Otherwise, we have to explain to the villagers about master Tang. It's too troublesome.

Zhou Wang's guess was easily recognized by all the people in the village. The granddaughter of the Xia family learned from Professor Zhou since childhood. After learning, she went to his home to learn traditional Chinese painting and calligraphy, which should be taught by Professor Zhou.

As soon as I heard that Professor Zhou had also taught these to Xia Shao, all the people in the village talked about it one after another. Someone patted his thigh and looked frightened, ”Ouch! I also planted a willow in front of my house. What should I do? I'll go back and cut it down!”

Xia Shao, the person who spoke, just knew each other, and immediately smiled, ”grandma Liu, the willow tree in your house has long been there. I know it. It's planted in the east of the house. It happens that your house also sits in the north and south. There are willows on the Green Dragon's seat, Wang Zi and Wang sun! That's a lucky tree. Don't cut it.”

Grandma Liu calmed down when she heard this, but she just mentioned it and now she came back. She was still a little confused for a moment. She nodded and said, ”I said that nothing has happened to our family in recent years. It turned out to be a lucky tree.”

But someone nearby shook his head. ”Don't say, it's also a willow tree. How can it be planted here and there? There are so many doorways here. We don't understand. There are no fewer trees in front of the house. What can we do if we plant them wrong?”

Someone suggested, ”why don't you cut them all? If you don't plant them, you don't care about the good and the bad?”

”How can I cut it? The pomegranate tree in front of my house has been planted for more than ten years. Every summer and autumn, I still keep my little grandson and granddaughter to eat!”

”Yes! A jujube tree is planted behind our house. The jujube is sweet every year. What a pity to cut it.”

Young and old people in the village talked about it one after another. Xia Shao smiled. I didn't expect that it was just the willow in front of Grandpa and grandma's new house, which could lead to so many worries in the village. However, it is also true that the village is different from the city. Each family has a small yard. Planting trees is common, and it's reasonable to worry.

Xia Shao dropped her eyes. Since she brought up the topic, it's better to tell the villagers the most basic thing today, so as not to worry everyone.

She thought so, but before she opened her mouth, someone asked.

”Xiaoshaozi, what else did Professor Zhou teach you? Did he say what can be planted and what can't be planted? Tell us? Let's have a look. If someone has a problem, cut down the tree as soon as possible and pay attention to planting in the future, OK?”

Xia Shao can't say no? Her parents also nodded to her, hoping that she would say something and help the people in the village.

Grandma also said, ”xiaoshaozi, these are the grandparents, uncles and aunts who watched you grow up. You didn't eat less pomegranate and dates in these families. Just tell me what you know.”

”OK.” Xia Shao patted grandma's hand. Then she looked at the old and young people in the village, smiled and said calmly, ”I know something about it. People have people, things have things, and trees also have trees. When planting trees in front of the door, we should first look at the tree appearance. Generally speaking, when planting trees in front of the door, we should consider the height and leaf shape of the trees. Round leaf trees are mainly in front of the door, and long leaf trees are mainly behind the door. The trees on the left side of the door should be tall, and the trees on the right side of the door should be low. The tall and tidy trees are lucky, but the deformed and curved trees are unlucky In addition, the trees in front of the door have withered, which is even worse. ”

Xia Shao first made a general statement and then gave an example, ”As for what kind of trees to plant, it depends on everyone's needs and preferences. Walnut trees are good for health, chestnut trees are rich, pomegranate trees have many children and grandchildren, cherry is in good luck, and jujube trees give birth to noble children early. Bamboo is rich in literary talent, sandalwood and Dragon whiskers. We should pay attention to planting bamboo here. We should not plant too little. Feng Shui pays attention to potential, and bamboo is thin, too little The situation is lonely, but bad luck. ”

In order to be afraid of being dizzy, Xia Shao deliberately slowed down, but still listened to the villagers looking at each other.

”Oh! There are still such sayings?” the old ladies and gentlemen in the village looked at each other, turned their lips, and showed an expression of ”this thing is very mysterious”.

The younger asked, ”is there any truth in this? If it's just a lucky picture on homophony, there's no big problem if it's planted wrong?”

”Nonsense!” immediately an old man blustered, ”I'd rather believe some of these things! Besides, Professor Zhou taught me, I must listen! You young people are brave in everything, alas.”

Xia Shao smiled and explained, ”naturally, there are statements. These are not only for the people to use their homonym for good luck, but also related to the theory of Feng Shui. The ancient books contain:” when Qi rides the wind, it will disperse, when water is bounded, it will stop, when it is gathered, it will not disperse, and when it is exercised, it will stop, it is for Feng Shui. ”But in fact, the purpose of Feng Shui is to study 'Qi'. There is also a statement in the ancient books, the Internal Classic of the Yellow Emperor.” It says, ”Qi is the foundation of human beings. The house is the hub of yin and Yang. If you follow it, you will win, and if you go against it, you will not.” there is also a saying in the book of changes: 'stars drive the weather, mountains and rivers drive the earth's atmosphere, the weather is Yang, the earth's atmosphere is Yin, and Yin and yang are peaceful, the weather is dense and everything breeds.' even trees, different trees naturally have different Qi. ”

Xia Shao also knew that the old people in the village might not understand, so he said: ”In short, planting these plants, flowers and plants in the yard is good for storing water, cultivating shade, and dissolving air leakage. In Feng Shui, people can't live where plants and trees don't live. You can think about it. There must be a problem with the earth's atmosphere where plants and trees don't live. How can people live on it? But where is that kind of barren land, where there are people?”

So, all the people in the village nodded their heads to show their approval. That's really the case. It sounds quite reasonable.

”Take the chestnut tree mentioned before. It's good for wealth because the chestnut fruit is golden. Gold represents wealth in the five elements. It's not just bad luck to say that you can't plant willows behind the house. Willow branches are flexible and disperse with the wind. What spreads out is Qi. Planting them in the square behind the house is really bad luck. Therefore, there are actually statements about these things.”

When the villagers heard this, they all looked surprised and nodded in admiration.

”There are so many sayings! Why didn't Shaozi know so much when she was a child?”

”When I was a child, I was a child. I grew up! I learned more and more.”

”Oh, it's really promising. Professor Zhou didn't teach in vain when he was a child. The old Xia family had a good granddaughter! Aunt Jiang, you're so lucky!”

Jiang Shuhui smiled kindly on her face. She didn't know that her granddaughter knew so much. When she was a child, she looked good and clever. It was very painful. She didn't expect to grow up and be safe. How did she know that she could enjoy such a great blessing as her granddaughter?

Xia Zhiyuan and Li Juan also lament that this is the first time they have heard their daughter say so much about feng shui, and they are right. It's not the same feeling to hear master Tang say Feng Shui. Their daughter knows so much, and it's always a different feeling to be a parent.

Xia Shao smiled and said: ”What I just said is that we should pay attention to planting trees outside the house. As for the yard, it's easy to remember. Just remember two points. First, don't let the branches and leaves of the tree block the doors and windows and hinder the flow of air. Second, don't plant locust trees. Didn't I just say 'no mulberry in front of the door and no willow behind the house'? In fact, there is another sentence, 'no ghost clapping in the middle'. Ghost clapping refers to locust trees. Locust trees The nature of trees belongs to Yin. We're a Yang house. Naturally, we can't let the Yin Qi flourish. ”

Seeing that the villagers nodded again, Xia Shao said: ”I've said so much. Let me summarize. In the four directions, pomegranates in the East, flowers and plants in the west, flowers and fruits in the south, and trees in the North should be tall. This method is suitable for all houses facing south. If you sit in the north, it's even more auspicious. In the four corners, bamboo in the southeast, peach in the southwest, apple in the northeast, and jujube in the northwest. This situation is also suitable for houses facing all directions, if you sit in the northwest, it's also suitable for houses facing Southeast , you will get great luck. ”

”Oh, so it is... It's easy to remember. Let's go home and have a look. What's wrong? Cut down another tree!” someone said.

”Yes, yes, aunt Jiang, since the willow tree at the door of your new house is bad, cut it quickly! Do you want to help? You say, let's take an axe and cut it.”

Jiang Shuhui instinctively looked at her granddaughter. Xia Shao smiled bitterly and shook his head. ”Don't cut. The tree is one meter high and has a tree spirit. It's not easy to grow so high. Don't cut if you can. Pray for three days and transplant it. It's not suitable for planting here. There's always a place where it can live.”

The old and young in the village were stunned. They quickly said that they would not cut it. If they found something bad, they would transplant it elsewhere.

”Uncle Wang, too. Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand. He almost planted a white tiger tree for Lao Xia's family. It's scary.”

”It's all right. Those who don't know are not guilty, and the village head is also kind.” Xia Zhiyuan said with a smile after listening to the words of the villagers. ”Anyway, the days of planting are shallow, and Xiaoshao didn't say that he didn't become a ghost.”

”It doesn't matter that I planted it a day ago.” Xia Shao said. If it takes a long time, I need to draw nine circles with cinnabar to relieve its evil Qi before transplanting.

In that case, Xia Zhiyuan decided to wait three days and go back to the village to help transplant the trees.

Then, Jiang Shuhui asked Xia Shao to have a look at the house. The furniture in the room was complete. After Xia Shao saw it, she smiled and said to send it another day, pick a lucky day next year, and then let the old man move to a new house.

The whole village, old and young, gathered at the door and didn't disperse until Xia Shao accompanied his grandmother and parents back to the old house, followed by the busy village. They were all busy going home to see their own trees. Before Xia Shao left, if anyone is uncertain, it's better to come and ask her to have a look again.

After Xia Shao accompanied her grandmother back to the yard, she found that Liu Cuicui's father, uncle Liu, had not left. He was talking to Xia Guoxi drunk in the yard.

As soon as Jiang Shuhui entered the door, she smiled and said, ”old man, don't tell you not to follow! Just now, my granddaughter showed her hand in front of the villagers who watched her grow up!”

After hearing this, Xia Guoxi turned his mouth, folded his hands and drooped his eyelids. Since the granddaughter started a company quietly and later appeared in the TV Newspaper in Qingshi, the provincial capital, he was not surprised at how many hands she showed.

Uncle Liu didn't seem to give up. When he saw Xia Shao coming back, he came forward again and looked like he wanted to ask. Aunt Meng, who followed him, saw that he was thinking about Xia Shao's development and wanted to take advantage of her daughter's saving someone's life to drink. She really couldn't afford to lose this man, so she went forward and dragged him away before he spoke.

At noon, she had dinner in her hometown. Although the old man wanted to stay with Xia Shao for two days, she really had something to do with the company. She said that during the new year, the employees of the company also took leave. She came back to accompany the old man. Grandma Jiang Shuhui reluctantly sent her to the village and let her go home.

Back home, Xia Shao went to his master Tang Zongbo without stopping.

Xu Tianyin was sitting by the window with the old man, his legs covered with a blanket and basking in the sun. When he saw Xia Shao coming, he raised his eyes and looked at her, but sure enough, the girl still stared at him. When she looked at the master, she changed her smiling face.

”Master, I'm back. How's it going? Elder martial brother didn't cook red bean, mung bean and eight treasures porridge for you at noon?” Xia Shao squatted down beside Tang Zongbo and asked with a smile.

Tang Zongbo couldn't laugh or cry. ”Don't always remember your senior brother's embarrassment! Be careful that Shifu told him your embarrassment when you were a child!”

Xia Shao immediately bit his lips and looked wronged. ”Master hurts senior brother, but he doesn't hurt me anymore.”

”Ha ha.” Tang Zongbo laughed and was teased by her appearance. ”That's because you have many ideas. No one can bully you. Your senior brother must be bullied by you at ordinary times!”

As soon as Xia Shao heard this, she immediately stared at Xu Tianyin. Did she bully him? Who bullied her last night?

Xu Tianyin received her staring eyes. Her eyes were dark and quiet. She got up silently and went to bring her a chair and put it next to her master. Xia Shao got up and sat down and took out the Dragon scales.

”The scabbard has been changed, not the original one. Shifu, look at the knife inside.” Xia Shao handed it over and suppressed the evil spirit of the dragon scale with his mind. He was not allowed to come out and hurt Shifu at the moment when the scabbard was unsealed.

Tang Zongbo was stunned when he saw that Xia Shao had handed him a short knife. After receiving it, he first held it in his hand and looked at the spell on the scabbard, ”hmm? The carver, is this your boy's handwriting?” he looked at Xu Tianyin. Xu Tianyin nodded, and Tang Zongbo said again, ”this spell... Hiss! You carve it tightly. Fifty four times? This knife has such a heavy evil spirit?”

Xu Tianyin nodded again. He remembered that the night she accepted the knife, she changed 54 spells, and he used 54 spells to seal the knife.

Tang Zongbo looked at the dense spell and his face became dignified. He held it in his hand and gently opened the scabbard.

As soon as the scabbard was opened, a light of snow came out. The sun outside the window made Tang Zongbo's eyes empty. Although Xia Shao controls the dragon scale with his mind and can't hurt people, he just doesn't make an attack posture. His evil Qi is still very strong and fierce!

The dark evil spirit was removed with the scabbard and wrapped around the blade. It made Tang Zongbo feel lucky and full of vitality. He turned his hand and looked at it several times. He was shocked, ”hiss! What a fierce blade! No wonder... Where did you get this blade?”
