Nightfall, Shanmiaotun, Zhang Daman's family.

"Master Liang, please tell me your fortune, if you have committed any evil star or disaster star. This year, our family is really worried..."

An old man in Zhongshan suit, wearing reading glasses, his hair was like snow, his head was bald, his face was full of years of ruts, and his vicissitudes of life were old, but his spirit was extremely energetic and he did not seem to be in a twilight depression because of his old face.

Wearing a pair of black cloth shoes, he sat upright on a stool at Zhang Daman's house.

He is the master of the great Feng Shui of Shike Village - Mr. Liang Da. The dead people set up temples, steering feng shui, and divining destiny are all the specialties of this Mr. Liang Da.

Some people in the village called him "Mr. Liang" or "Master Liang".

It is said that Mr. Liang is well-versed in Maoshan spells. According to legend, in his early years, he fought with people, and could break huge rocks with his fingers and drive away snakes, insects and wild beasts in the mountains.

It is even more said that when a dead man was having funerals in the countryside, usually several big men carried coffins to funerals, but Mr. Liang Da made a spell of "Flying and Death".

Legend has it that "Flying" means that during the funeral, the coffin is not carried by a few big men, but a sorcerer like Mr. Liang, who rides on the coffin and uses magic to drive it. The coffin flies up in the air, flies to the funeral, and goes to the cemetery.

Regarding Mr. Liang's legend, the "Flying and Sorrow" spell is only one of them.

Once, Mr. Liang passed by a farmhouse and traveled a long distance. He was very thirsty and asked the owner for a sip of water to drink. Unexpectedly, the hostess not only did not give a bowl of water, but also spoke rudely.

In a fit of anger, Mr. Liang used magic to drive a python to entrench in the water tank that filled the mistress's house. When the mistress opened the water tank, she was so scared that she was half-hearted.

If we talk about how Mr. Liang’s ability came about, it will be even longer and we have to start with a legend.

The county town where Shike Village is located is called Lingfeng County. A long time ago, there was a wealthy family in Lingfeng County, with a rich family surnamed Cen. This Mr. Cen relied on the endless wealth at home to raise his energy and recruit soldiers and horses. He thought that one day he would rise up and become the overlord of the country.

He recruited talents from the people, and finally one day, a Feng Shui master who traveled around the world came to Lingfeng County along the long-tracked dragon vein.

This Feng Shui master found the foot of the mountain in Lingfeng County and was immediately shocked by this wonderful Feng Shui. It was the dragon vein he had been looking for for many years.

Looking up, the mountains that stretched out seemed like a hovering flying dragon, and under the top of the mountain was a natural stone cave, like a giant dragon's mouth.

It’s vivid, it’s here, the dragon vein of the Feng Shui treasure land, it’s here.

For Feng Shui masters, once they discover such a surprising Feng Shui treasure land, they are all happy to dance.

Someone told Mr. Cen about this important discovery of Feng Shui master.

Mr. Cen was worried about finding a Fengshui treasure land to bury his ancestor's tomb, so he recruited the Fengshui master into the mansion and welcomed him warmly.

After some entertainment, Mr. Cen expressed his troubles and begged the Feng Shui master to steer the Feng Shui treasure land.

The Fengshui master pondered for a long time and finally agreed to Mr. Cen's request. However, there must be one condition, that is, from now on, Mr. Cen will take care of the Fengshui master for the old age and see him off.

Mr. Cen thought to himself that it was no problem to support an elderly man with his wealth in the Cen family. So he agreed to the Feng Shui master's conditions.

The Feng Shui master told Mr. Cen the mystery, saying that if he wanted to achieve hegemony, he needed to put the skeletons of the Cen family's ancestors in a coffin and place the hanging coffin in the cave under the peak of the Longmai Mountain he discovered - Xiaotian Cave.

Because hanging this coffin in the Xiaotian Cave, a flying dragon opens its mouth, and the coffin happens to be a dragon tongue, and it is paired with a continuous ridge, so it is a complete "dragon vein".

When Master Cen heard this, he was overjoyed and immediately followed the Feng Shui master's wishes and placed the corpse of the ancestral tomb in the coffin, hanging the coffin in the Xiaotian Cave.

From then on, Mr. Cen's family became more powerful, and he raised troops to conquer cities and territory, conquered all the attacks and was invincible. He was also regarded as "King Cen".

However, because the Feng Shui master discovered the secrets and leaked the secrets, he was blinded by the heavenly punishment. At the beginning, King Cen still regarded the Feng Shui master as a guest of honor, but after his blindness, such a bad old man was useless to support him, so he demoted the Feng Shui master to a servant and used it as a slave to pound rice.

The Feng Shui master regretted it too late and cried all day long.

Finally, one night, he heard the erhu music. From the erhu tune, he could hear that this was his direct disciple.

It turned out that three or two years have passed since the Feng Shui master traveled around to search for dragons and pointed at acupoints. His direct disciples have been searching all the way and came to Lingfeng County.

Every day and night, I play the erhu, hoping to find out the whereabouts of the Feng Shui master.

Although the Feng Shui master knew from the erhu tune that his disciples came to Lingfeng County, he was already blind and could not meet his direct disciples at all.

By chance, Mr. Liang Da’s ancestors told the story of King Cen’s family looking for dragons and pointing acupoints to the Feng Shui master’s disciple. This disciple learned that this true dragon acupoint was naturally written by his master.

So, under the leadership of Mr. Liang Da’s ancestors, the disciple came to Prince Cen’s mansion. As soon as he entered the house, he explained the Feng Shui fate of King Cen in one word. After calculating, he gave a divination to King Cen. His words were very well-informed, and King Cen also came true.

The disciple deserves to have received the true teachings of Feng Shui masters. Whether it is Feng Shui metaphysics or divination techniques, they are unique.

After judging the fortunes for King Cen, he kept shook his head and praised, although King Cen's ancestral tomb is buried in the dragon vein, it is a shortcoming. I don't know who gave you such a plan. If this hanging coffin is not down-to-earth, the descendants will definitely not be able to receive the protection of their ancestors. Moreover, the green vine that flew out of the sky from Xiaotian Cave has been led from this mountain to another. This is a demon dragon, not a real dragon, and this green vine should be cut off.

It turned out that King Cen buried the hanging coffin of his ancestor's skeleton in Xiaotian Cave, and grew a thick green vine from the ridge, and forced it to pass from this mountain to another mountain, forming a vine hanging in the air. From a distance, compared to the ridge, this green vine plus Xiaotian Cave is the scene of a flying dragon in the sky.

When King Cen heard this, he felt that what his disciple said was reasonable and asked for advice from his disciples.

The disciple pondered for a moment and said with great embarrassment that it would not be difficult to relieve this disaster. But please ask King Cen to agree to him two conditions: one is that after the matter is completed, he will be blind horse slaves; the other is the thin and dirty donkey in the circle.

These two conditions were easy for King Cen, and of course they were fully agreed.

So, according to the instructions of the disciple, he lowered the hanging coffin of Xiaotian Cave and buried it in the soil.

At the same time, soldiers were sent to cut off the green vine.

It doesn’t matter if the green vine is cut off. Unexpectedly, after the green vine is cut off, the juice flowing out is full of blood, and the blood flows into a river, dyeing the rivers in Lingfeng County red. It took forty-nine days before it was completely drained.

However, when King Cen looked for the disciples of Master Feng Shui again, they were no longer visible.

Some people say that that night, the disciple took the blind Fengshui master out of the mansion of King Cen. The master and disciple met again after a long separation. After experiencing such disasters, he hugged his head and cried. Then, he led the donkey in King Cen's stable, and the master and disciple rode on the donkey.

Unexpectedly, the dirty donkey, who usually looks skinny and dirty, shook the fur on his body, transformed into a pair of wings, carrying the Feng Shui masters and soaring into the air.

It turned out that the donkey was far from a common thing, but a "dragon horse".

After following the advice of the Feng Shui master disciples, King Cen fell into the family, and the soldiers sent to fight were defeated like a mountain of defeat.

In the face of defeat, King Cen fell down his remnants and forced him to retreat into the mountain, hiding in the deep mountains and forests. In the end, King Cen was beheaded by soldiers in the deep mountains.

From then on, this vast mountain, like a primeval forest, was called "Cen Wang Lao Mountain."

In order to express the grace of Mr. Liang's ancestors, the master and disciple left a volume of Tantric Buddhism, which consisted of Feng Shui metaphysics, geomantic techniques, magic and Taoism.

Mr. Liang's ancestors followed the Tantric Buddhism inherited by Feng Shui masters and have learned the essence for their own use. The Liang family has been passed down from generation to generation, and are all masters of Feng Shui metaphysics, who are famous for their fortune-telling and destiny.

It has been passed down to the generation of Mr. Liang Da. Mr. Liang Da was admitted to the scholar in the early years and later inherited the ancestral Feng Shui metaphysics, geometry, and divination and destiny techniques.

This is the origin of the great Feng Shui master from King Cen and the Feng Shui master from the Liang family.

Although this legend is crippled among the people and cannot be verified, and even the county annals of Lingfeng County are not recorded, it is passed down by word of mouth among the people.

On the top of the mountain range in Lingfeng County, the stone cave is still called "Xiaotian Cave".

Perhaps, in that legend back then, King Cen cut off the real dragon vein. Although Lingfeng County has always been beautiful and beautiful, it is not a Feng Shui treasure land on its territory.

Legends are legends after all, but they only add to the legendary color of Mr. Liang Da.

Zhang Daman listened to the anecdotes about Mr. Liang since childhood, and was influenced by him, which made him respect Mr. Liang, or rather, it was Mr. Liang who felt mysterious.

For example, those magical magic, the geometry of Feng Shui treasure land, and the amazing number of destiny techniques.

However, Zhang Daman never had the opportunity to witness it with his own eyes. If he could see the so-called "flying" and fighting magic with his own eyes, it would be convincing.

"Daman, this year you are in conflict with Chen and Xu. It is called Tai Sui in numerology. There are also seven evil stars such as railings that are on the death side, which means that this year's right and wrong, injuries and illnesses are entangled..." Mr. Liang deduced according to Zhang Daman's birth date calculation.

Then he began to divine, burn incense and set up an altar, and there were sacrifices on the altar, and there were lyrics in his mouth. Zhang Daman couldn't understand any of them, but he kept changing his skills, as if he was inviting the gods.

In Shike Village, there are many things to pay attention to when divining and asking gods, like Mr. Liang, burning incense and setting up altars, and hiring gods. There are books written with "soft pens", called "scientific and literary" or "scientific and literary". For example, those who invite gods are called "orders to ask gods are called "orders to ask gods are called "orders to ask gods are called "orders to send gods are called "orders to send gods are called "orders to send gods are called "orders to send gods are called "orders to send gods are called "orders to send gods are called "orders to send gods are" and so on.

In addition to the subjects and subjects recorded in these written documents, there are also some talismans, that is, talismans, etc.

Therefore, most people like Mr. Liang Da are inheriting Taoism. In addition, Taoism's talismans need to be accompanied by hand techniques.

The so-called hand technique is to change the ten fingers of both hands, similar to hand shadows, and different fingers cross and intersperse to interpret the unmovable hand shape, which is the hand technique.

The functions and functions of each hand technique are completely different. For example, the evil-repelling hand technique is self-evident. When you go out at night and pass through dark places such as cemeteries, in order to suppress those evil spirits approaching, the evil-repelling hand technique is not dared to get close to it by hand.

However, Mr. Liang and others are not entirely Taoist schools, and they also have to act as Buddhist roles. For example, after a person dies, he needs to be free and recite scriptures.

At this time, any "sir" who needs to recite scriptures and salvation will first bathe and fast, burn incense and set up an altar, kneel down and worship under the altar, hold a small wooden hammer that knocks on the wooden fish, and while reciting scriptures, they will knock on the wooden fish.

However, there are no Buddhist beads like Buddhist monks who recite scriptures, but reciting scriptures requires counting. They all use some simple counting methods, such as: using corn kernels, or taking a piece of bamboo strips, and after reciting, they break a piece. This is similar to the method of counting knots in the original tribe.

In rural areas, when a person dies, he asks his "sir" to be free, he always recites scriptures. If the deceased is a male, he recites the Diamond Sutra; if the deceased is a female, he recites the Blood Basin Sutra.

The "Blood Bath Sutra" is the abbreviation of the "Mulian Orthodox Blood Bath Sutra". It is also known as the "Women's Blood Bath Sutra".

In the old days, it was widely circulated among the people. According to legend, women gave birth to too much children and would touch the gods and Buddhas. After death, they would go to hell and suffer in the bloody pool. If monks recite this sutra during their lifetime, they would eliminate disasters and receive blessings.

This is probably a better explanation for the female dead and those who are reborn as a person who recites the Blood Basin Sutra. As for the male dead, it is unknown why the Diamond Sutra is recited.

But they are all used as a way of reliance, wishing the deceased to be reborn in the Pure Land after death.

Therefore, to say that "sages" like Mr. Liang Da are by no means pure Taoist tradition or pure Buddhist tradition.

However, in such a remote and remote mountain village, this tradition exists and has lasted for a long and long history.

It is unknown how long the history it has, at least Zhang Xiaoman does not know.

However, Zhang Xiaoman was full of curiosity about Mr. Liang like Mr. Liang. Since he came home, he had been around Mr. Liang and kept staring at Mr. Liang and setting up an altar, burning incense and praying.

Perhaps this time, he saw Mr. Liang's "action" the closest thing. Although he had a bit of feudal superstition, he was still curious and confused about some feudal superstitions in the countryside.

I remember one time, the old sow at his family didn’t eat any pig food for three or five days. Every time, my mother took pig food with her, poured it into the pig food trough in the pen.

It was very strange. The old sow shook his head and tail, and he was very energetic. He didn't seem to be sick, but he didn't eat any pig food.

This made Tian Guihua so anxious that the old sow gave birth to piglets every year and could sell them for a little money, which can be regarded as the family's source of income.

If something happens to the old sow, it will be a cut off source of income.

ps: I almost write about the life of full attendance. I can't update it occasionally. I will replace a chapter first and will modify it the next day. Alas!
