Be careful of the drainage of graves (Jiashan geomantic omen)
Tomb-Sweeping Day returned to the village to worship the mountain-to worship the ancestral grave. While repairing the grave, the eight masters of the clan warned us that the drainage of the grave should be careful and fixed according to the drainage position determined during burial, and it should not be changed at will, otherwise it would have adverse consequences. So he told a story with content.
In ancient times, there was a noble ancestral grave in Chenwu, Guiping estuary, which was a piece of land. A good start, a prosperous population. Later, due to the wrong drainage ditch, the family wealth declined and the population became scarce. Then Chen Shuoshui was left alone. More because of "seeing through" the world of mortals, Chen Shuoshui went to Xishan to become a monk. Since then, this mountain has never been worshipped again.
One day, Mr. Lao Luo, a geography teacher, took two apprentices and found a big dragon in Longshan, Shilong. He was very excited. The hillside from Longshan to Great Mary Mountain. Because of fatigue, they felt almost the same, so the three of them were relieved. Shortly after they sat down, a black ant male lay down from Lao Luo's wide Tang suit trouser leg and took a bite on the key without hesitation, making him shout: "Yo yo-!" The two apprentices mistakenly thought that the master was called "acupoint", so they decided that the acupoint was here and sealed the pile immediately! But when they tried their best to pile up dirt, Master Luo also woke up. "No, no, just below!" Lao Luo pointed under the new mound with a wooden stick. Sure enough, they found a mountain overgrown with weeds and abandoned for many years in that place-that is Chen's ancestral grave! But Lao Luo just can't figure out how such a good grave can be abandoned without worship: "strange, strange!" " "Later, Lao Luo measured with a compass and found the problem of wrong water release!" What a pity! "
After many interviews, Lao Luo finally found Chencun in Jiangkou. When asked, Chencun people said that their village did have a room with ancestral graves in the Great Mary Hill, but many things happened. It's a long story In a word, there is only Chen Shuoshui, a monk in the western hills of Guiping, left in this room. If you want to find him, go to Xishan! So, Lao Luo and them went to the Millennium ancient temple-Xishan.
? Xishan Mountain in Guiping is one of the seven famous mountains in China, also known as Siling Mountain. It has the reputation of "Guilin's landscape is the best in the world, and it is also the Mid-level Mountain (namely the Western Mountain) in Sung Hoon". Although the Western Hills in Guiping are famous for their "strange rocks, beautiful trees, clear springs and fragrant tea", Lao Luo has no intention to find a fairyland on earth, but he only wants to find Chen Shuoshui, but he has given up his desire to correct his mistakes and benefit all beings.
Teacher Luo and them came to the middle of Xishan Mountain, built by the mountain, and sat in Longhua Ancient Temple from west to east. There are towering old trees around the temple, and the shade covers the sky. Red walls and yellow tiles are dotted among pines and cypresses. Outside the courtyard, Hou Dage, who is about twenty years old, is chopping wood.
"Please say hello to Brother Sheng. Do you know a young man named Chen Shuoshui? I heard that he became a monk in Xishan? " Mr. Luo asked politely.
"What do you want with him?" Hou sheng asked his brother.
"I really have something to discuss with him."
What can I do for you?
"Are you Chen Shuoshui?"
"You just talk to me!"
"Well, I saw the ancestral mountain of Chen Shuoshui in the big Mary Mountain. There seems to be something wrong. I'm going to go with him and have a good bye! Is this a good mountain? "
"He doesn't want to, also won't go to worship. Whoever wants it will go and worship. No one will care. Go if you like! "
No matter what Mr. Luo said, the young man just insisted on what he saw. There is no way, they asked to stay and continue their ideological work.
Later, they knew that this brother was Chen Shuoshui, and because this ancestral grave destroyed his family, they didn't want to mention it again.
Later, Lao Luo promised to take good care of them before the worship, and they will get better one after another, get married and have children, and flourish! And volunteered to pay him to buy raw chickens and smoke red sacrifices, and he reluctantly agreed to go.
Lao Luo helped Chen Shuoshui reopen the drainage ditch and held a simple worship ceremony. This is true. . . . . .
Then, the miracle slowly appeared. . . . . .
It is said that there was a rich man named Cai Afu in Zhou Xun (Guiping). He was very rich, but he had only one daughter named Cai Shaoshao at the age of 28. He usually regards her as the apple of his eye and supports her like a glass man.
But something unexpected happened. After the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first month, I ate a big dumpling and choked, so I couldn't swallow it. Before long, the body will go soft and lose consciousness. People here call the death of young people juvenile death, and think that the ghost of juvenile death is fierce. In addition, in order to avoid trouble, boss Cai handled the funeral as soon as possible. So, I asked four servants to carry it to my daughter's grave and asked her to be carried to the cemetery designated by Xishan for burial as soon as possible.
But the weather was not beautiful. Soon after the four servants were carried to the western hills, it began to rain heavily.
They stopped halfway up the mountain. At this point, Chen Shuoshui just came back here to hide from the rain. I saw people in the park running out in the rain, avoiding like a plague. Chen Shuoshui asked the servant curiously, and the servant explained what had happened. Chen Shuoshui got up the courage to untie the straw mat and saw that the girl was still soft and lukewarm. So, he tried to help her up and patted the girl on the back with instant explosive force. The girl woke up with a few blinks, damn it! God won't close one door, but he will open another!
Chen Shuoshui asked the servant to carry the girl to Longhua Temple, fed her several cups of Xishan chessboard tea soaked in the milk spring well, and slowly she was able to speak. She said to Chen Shuoshui, thank you for saving his life! In fact, I know everything, but I have no strength and can't speak.
The servants hurried back to report to boss Cai.
"Her life is hard, and life should not be unique! You brought me that benefactor, and I want to reward him! " Boss Cai roared.
"He won't come. We called him. The servants replied, "He is a monk." .
"So his bald head is not just-?"
"Not only that-!"
"I know there is no-light-he can't light!" Boss Cai talks to himself.
? Therefore, Cai Afu led his family to Longhua Temple in Xishan to thank Chen Shuoshui in the name of taking his daughter home.
? After another week, Cai Shaoshao's body has fully recovered, and the whole family will talk to Chen Shuoshui about marriage.
"Chen Er, no, water! I have a straightforward personality, only one child and one sister. I want to marry her to you, and my son is fine with it. What do you think? "
"I can't even keep myself, how can I bring trouble to your daughter! Besides, I am the black sheep of Jiangkou Chencun, and you should know it. "
"Don't worry about this, I like you."
"I can't do this, I can't stand it."
After repeated work, Chen Shuoshui finally finalized the marriage.
With the support of Boss Cai, Chen Shuoshui found Mr. Lao Luo, the geography teacher of that year, renovated the ancestral home that he had not returned for many years, and solemnly married a young bride.
Later, the Chen family flourished in Jiangkou, Guiping and other places.
