Since ancient times, there has been a mountain myth. People worship and sacrifice piously and pray to protect one side of water, soil, wind and rain. Book of rites? There is a saying in the ritual: "mountains, forests, rivers, valleys and hills, can rise out of the clouds, for wind and rain, see monsters, all call God."
As soon as the Mountain God said, there has been a saying in China for thousands of years. If it is a false deception, how can people still believe this until now. Even if you don''t believe it, you must also maintain a heart of awe. After all, there are gods in your head. You must not offend and collide.
Bai Ling said, "is there a mountain god here? Uncle Liu, did you see it with your own eyes?"
Liu Dafu said, "yes, and I''m not alone."
I was surprised. "Have you really met? Who are the people you met with?"
When Liu Dafu was five or six years old, he once ran to Jiandao mountain with his brothers who grew up in open pants. By coincidence, he met the mountain god. As a result, his brother was bolder than Liu Dafu and smashed the mountain god away with a stone. They played until it was almost dark and were ready to go down the mountain and return to the village. The disappeared mountain god suddenly appeared again and took his brothers away directly. Liu Dafu was scared to death and ran back to the village to find adults. More than a dozen adult strong men searched around the sharp knife mountain for a long time. Finally, they only found a bloody shoe.
From Liu Dafu''s mouth, the villagers knew that the child had more or less bad luck. At the same time, the mountain god came from it. That child got such an end because he offended the mountain god.
Soon after the incident, according to the general appearance of the mountain god seen by Liu Dafu, the villagers carved a mountain god in stone and put it on Jiandao mountain. On the 15th day of the first day of the lunar new year, the villagers would come here to burn paper for worship. Although no one has seen the mountain god since then, every once in a while, the village will throw chickens and geese. Everyone knows that this must be done by the mountain god. But it was an honor for the mountain gods to come down to their home and eat a chicken and a goose. Because the gods will protect them.
Later, everyone discussed and decided that each family would prepare a bamboo cage in front of the door. Whenever it was estimated that the mountain god would come down soon, each family would take turns to put the offerings in the bamboo cage in front of their door.
Jiang Yilong pointed to the mountain god covered with red cloth and said, "look at this situation, no one here has worshipped the mountain god for a long time."
"When I was young, I often came here with adults to burn paper to worship the mountain god, but later the mountain road was connected with the outside, and most of the people moved out. Most of the people left behind in the village are old people. We are tired of climbing this sharp knife mountain. Those old people don''t want to die if they want to climb this trip. Therefore, there is nothing wrong with the mountain god statue now People have come again, but maybe they will worship in their own home. "Fang Wenhu looked at Chen Qing and said," you are brave enough to pee in front of the mountain god. Hei hei, I don''t know. The mountain god is angry and will take you away tonight. "
Liu Dafu and Fang Wenhu took it seriously. Listening to all this, Chen Qing''s face was scared green. He quickly put his hands together and made several bows to the mountain statue. "I don''t blame those who don''t know. Those who don''t know dare not. Mountain God, I dare not again."
Bai Ling suddenly said, "it should not be the mountain god."
"Not the mountain god?" Chen Qing was stunned. Not only him, but also us.
"Bai Ling, you are a girl. Don''t talk nonsense. I''ve seen the mountain god with my own eyes. Do you still think I''m making up a story to deceive you?" Liu Dafu said. "Don''t blame the mountain god. Don''t blame the mountain god. Girls are not sensible. Don''t take it to heart."
Bai Ling tooted her mouth, and the voice in her mouth was as thin as a mosquito. I stood beside her and heard her say again. Anyway, it can''t be.
"Chen Qing, listen to uncle Liu. Go back and get some paper money in my house and burn it here. If you are dishonest, the mountain god will not forgive you."
Seeing that Chen Qingzhen was ready to turn and go down the mountain, Hu Qingguo finally said, "there is a God three feet above the head. Of course, you should believe the mountain god. However, this time it''s too late and a waste of time. You''ll give the mountain god a stick of incense and knock two heads. Since it''s the mountain god, it shouldn''t be difficult for you to see your sincerity."
Chen Qing suddenly realized that he was right for three times in a row. He took out a cigarette box from his pocket, lit three cigarettes from inside and inserted them in front of the mountain statue. Then he quickly knelt down and kowtowed three heads. "Don''t blame the mountain god. I know it''s wrong. Don''t blame the mountain god. I know it''s wrong."
We left the mountain statue and soon went down Jiandao mountain. Under the leadership of Liu Dafu, we walked for about 20 minutes and stopped. "Mr. Hu, it''s probably here."
This is a very flat land, at least in the hilly areas like Chongqing. When I looked around, I could see that Fang Wenhu and Fu Hongshan were really not idle in the past half a month, because on this flat land, there should be more than a dozen dug holes, large and small, not far away.
Fu Hongshan said, "look, Mr. Hu, this place is neither big nor small. Sanwa and I tried many places and couldn''t find a big clue. However, you see, the excavated soil really looks like an ancient tomb under the ground."
Hu Qingguo bent down, grabbed a handful of soil from a nearby pit and smelled it in his hand. "It smells like an ancient tomb."
"There must be." Liu Dafu then said, "when I was a baby, someone in the village said that there was an ancient tomb in this place. However, it was a long-standing tomb, and it was unclear who the owner of the tomb was."
Hu Qingguo nodded, looked at Jiang Yilong and me and said, "Xiao Qi, Xiao Jiang, what do you think?"
"The ancient tomb is the yinzhai. If you want to determine the location of the yinzhai, you must first look at the fengshui of the yinzhai to really determine whether there is an ancient tomb. The terrain here is too low to see the whole picture. Let''s go to the mountain." Jiang Yilong pointed to the nearest hill.
Hu Qingguo looked at Fu Hongshan and said to them, "just stay here first. I''ll go up with Xiao Qi and have a look."
"OK, Mr. Hu."
I put in a word, looked at Liu Dafu and said, "uncle Liu, you have lived here for decades. You must know more about the terrain here than we do. I don''t mind if you come with us."
"Of course not."
We climbed the mountain again. It took us a long time to reach the top of the mountain. First, I looked around. Directly opposite us was Jiandao mountain. The left and right sides were about more than 1000 meters, and there were two slightly lower hills. Jiang Yilong asked me for the compass, and I quickly handed it to him. Half a day later, Jiang Yilong said, "I''m really not sure whether there are ancient tombs, but there are some problems with Feng Shui here."
"Yes, there must be," said Liu Dafu.
Jiang Yilong said: "even if there is, the Feng Shui pattern here is not suitable for building yinzhai at all."
I nodded and said, "my elder martial brother is right. The yinzhai stresses hiding wind and gathering Qi. It is natural. The location of the valley is surrounded by mountains. The mountains are embracing, and there is no artificial decoration around. From this point of view, it is indeed feasible to choose the yinzhai here."
"I said yes."
"Uncle Liu, listen to me first." I said again: "look carefully, Jiandao mountain is opposite our front, which is just in the north, and Jiandao mountain is the highest of the four mountains. The left and right mountains are slightly lower than Jiandao mountain. If you just look at the front and left and right mountains, what do you think it looks like?"
"It''s like a character," Hu Qingguo said
Jiang Yilong said, "no, it''s a chair."
"Chair?"
"Elder martial brother is right." I pointed to the three mountains and said: "Jiandao mountain is 100 meters higher than the left and right mountains, and there is a concave flat in the middle of them. Choosing the yinzhai here is like sitting on a chair and forming naturally. Coupled with the unity of heaven and man, this is called the Taishi Feng Shui Bureau. Future generations not only prosper, become rich and expensive, but also can be lower than one person and more than ten thousand people."
Hu Qingguo looked happy and said, "that is, this ancient tomb is a big tomb?"
"It''s just the surface."
"You said so much, but it''s only superficial?"
I smiled and said: "The geomantic omen of this yinzhai is not careless. How can it just look at the surface rather than the overall situation? What I just said is that the most likely location of the tomb here should be back to Jiandao mountain and back to green mountain. This is called a backer. In addition, sitting north and facing south, it is fully in line with the Taishi geomantic Bureau, that is, the location of the ancient tomb should be in the direction we come. However , as I said just now, I just look at the three mountains in front of me, and where are we standing now? "
"It''s also a mountain, the top of the mountain."
"There is a hidden wind and gathered Qi, as well as the Taishi Feng Shui Bureau. It is the mountain standing at our feet that has changed the whole Feng Shui Bureau."
