C55 Seven Stars Eight Strikes Seven Stars Eight Strikes

When the sun had just risen, Uncle Xingmu, who guarded the ancestral hall in the village, knocked on Grandpa Changting's door.

After looking at the ancestral hall for decades, Xingmu Bo worriedly said to Grandpa Changting, This year's plum rain season is especially long. Many days have passed since the summer break. The rain was still pouring. It seemed that there would not be a 'plum' (plum rain season) in a short period of time. The unparalleled second-floor ancient stage in the Wang Clan's ancestral hall was a little missed this year. Uncle Xing Mu was worried that if this continued, the few thick wooden rafters on top of the stage would probably break. But Uncle Xing Mu firmly remembered that before his father died, He even used the last breath to instruct him three times, "The Wang Clan's Ancestral Shrine can only be used to pick up scraps. Do not use the beam to exchange for the beam. Unless' five broken blades find lotus seeds'. "

But now, almost seventy years had passed. Uncle Xing Mu and his son guarded the ancestral hall for two generations, picking up scraps for the ancient drama tower every year. He had always remembered the ancient rules and had never dared to make a move on the great beam and the thick beam on top of the stage. However, the plum rain season in Nanxi lasted for a long time. This large beam was not bad, but those few thick wooden rafters were really gradually becoming mushy. If he did not change, he was afraid that he would not be able to hold on for much longer. But. . . That legendary five-petal "Broken Blade. " Where was it now?

After listening to the rain for the entire night, Uncle Awakening Mu could no longer sit still. He came to find Grandpa Changting early in the morning to discuss. When Grandpa Changting heard this, he picked up that folding fan, picked up the umbrella, and then walked out of the house with nephew Xingmu. However, Grandpa Chang Ting didn't directly go to the Wang Family's ancestral hall to see the ancient drama tower. Instead, he hurriedly walked out of the village.

There were more than 200 ancient villages on the north bank of the Ou River. They were like pearls with broken strings, scattered on both sides of the river. These ancient villages. . . It could be said to be the most complete place of the dragon vein in China. They were the source of the arable culture. The excellent Feng Shui had created the thousand-year-old Mountain River Vein. There were good mountains and good water, mysterious Eight Trigrams Village of Feng Shui, clans that had been passed down for thousands of years, and ancient academies that had created a benign and scholarly air.

Lotus Rui Village was a classic ancient village that had been preserved well until now.

Over a thousand years had passed. Between the layers of mountains and rivers, within the misty and misty forest, Lotus Rui, this beautiful ancient village, had always maintained its appearance when it was first built, and it was left alone and at leisure with an ancient and tranquil attitude.

With the 'Four Treasures of Culture' as the structure of Feng Shui, the 'brush, ink, paper and ink' became the ancestral teachings of Lotus Rui Village.

The reason why Grandpa Chang Ting did not immediately head to the great ancestral hall at this moment but took a detour around the village entrance was that he had to first see if the "Wind and Water Formation" in the village was still intact.

Grandpa Chang Ting often proudly introduced his Lotus Rui Village to foreign guests. "Do you think you entered a village? Actually, you entered a Windwater Formation. "

That's right! The internal design of the village in Lotus Rui Village was cleverly arranged according to the name of the "Seven Stars Eight Dou" Wind and Water Array.

"Seven Stars" referred to the small platform five to ten centimeters higher than the flat ground at the crossroad in the village. It was arranged according to the Big Dipper in the sky. It occupied seven positions in the village, namely Tianshu, Skyjade, Phecda, Megrez, Yuheng, Kaiyang and Yaoguang. They formed the Big Dipper Formation. As for why they were set up at the T-junction, Grandpa Changting always told foreign guests that there were two reasons. First, he hoped that there would be a large number of people in the village, just like the stars in the sky. Second, he wanted to play the role of a commander: if an enemy attacked the village. The commander could stand on the high platforms at the intersection. He could listen to everything around him and look around. He commanded the villagers to defend against the enemy or evacuate.

There was once a young man who came from outside. After hearing Grandpa Changding's introduction, he curiously stood on one of the star platforms. He used his hand to make a megaphone and shouted loudly, "Hey, your mom called you home to eat!" His voice instantly traveled in all directions through the T-junction and floated above the entire village.

At this moment, Grandpa Changting did not want to see the "Seven Stars. " He hurriedly went to the place where he was going to patrol. It was "Ba Dou. "

The so-called "Eight Battles" actually referred to water. Using water as a fight. There were a total of five wells left in Lotus Village, namely "Metal, Wood, Water and Fire. " The five elements were all present, and they balanced out the various elements in the village. There were three more ponds. One was at the main street of the village - the right side of the pen street, and the other was called Hibiscus Pond. The other one was the mysterious ancient well in front of the grand ancestral hall. The three ponds were the Heaven Lake, the sea of people, and the Earth Spring. Together, they were the "eight duels. "

Grandpa Chang Ting spent a full four hours looking carefully at each and every one of them. Finally, when he discovered that "eight duels" were safe and sound, he turned around and said to his nephew, "Mind your own business, you have to watch the fire!" After saying that, he hurriedly rushed to the great ancestral hall to look at the eternal lamp. When he looked over, he turned around and said to Xing Mu, "There's nothing special about the fire, you have to look at the wood!"

Changding's grandfather was the first to raise his head on the large plaque of the Wang Clan's ancestral hall.

Unlike the other ancestral temples' large plaques, the words' clan 'on the Wang Clan Ancestral Shrine's plaque were a little more. Some people suspected that this was a pen error. However, the Wang Clan's ancestor left behind an ancestral teachings saying that there were a few families in the village that did not have the Wang surname. This point indicated that they accepted people with another surname. This extra point was specially added.

Every time he looked up at the additional plaque on the Wang Clan's ancestral hall, Grandpa Changting would nod his head proudly.

The great ancestral hall was the center of the Rites of Lotus Rui Village. It was also the place where clan gatherings and major clan events were held. In the past. . . Every year, the new festival would be hosted by Grandpa Chang Ting. The grand and famous "Oubao Conference" was lively and grand, opening the curtains here. But this year, the situation was so special. Reed Changting and his granddaughter, Reed, were in sync. Now was not the time to reopen the "Oubao Meeting. " Thus, Reed obtained support from all sides. This year, the "Oubao Conference" would be postponed and would be held another day.

The people of Nanxi and even the people of White Oupu City knew that the great ancestral hall of the Lotus Rui Village played a huge role. There were two main things. First, it was to unite the kinship clan. Second, it was Kojia Lianden.

Since the first generation of Lotus Rui Village, it had been 42 generations since the ancestors built the village. More than a hundred villages had been moved out from the Lotus Rui Village, and the population was close to 200 thousand. Every time they reached the Compass and Ancestral Worship Ceremony, the clansmen that had been sent out would come back to reunite, and the clansmen would be harmonious and united. In addition, Chang Ting's grandfather was often invited by the clan members to this place to resolve the dispute between the Fang Clan and the Fang Clan.

Another big matter was that after the annual examination season, Chang Ting's grandfather had to go to the great ancestral hall to host an extremely glorious and happy event. That was to hold the ancestral worshipping ceremony for the children who had succeeded in their studies in the village. At this time of every year, Grandpa Chang Ting meticulously followed the ritual of the "title of the golden ranking" set by the ancestors of the Wang Family and led the younger generation who wore red flowers to kowtow three times and nine times. He paid his respects to his ancestors. This was the activity that Grandpa Chang Ting liked and was most happy to host in the Wang Family's great ancestral hall.

After carefully checking the inscribed board and other wooden tools of his ancestors, Grandpa Chang Ting turned around without worry. Finally, his gaze locked onto the second floor of this so-called "unparalleled in the southeast. "

At this moment, the audience below the stage was silent. However, Grandpa Changting seemed to have seen the night and night of Sheng Ge on the stage every year during the first month of the year. The audience below the stage was packed with people, and it was an extremely lively scene.

Gong, gong, drums, cymbals and silk strings floated by Changding's grandfather's ears. Changding's grandfather looked at the roof of the ancient drama building. The tall roof was lively and handsome. There were eaves on all four sides, and they were designed with heavy eaves. The surface of the normal roofs naturally became the peak of the mountain, which was why it looked especially vivid. Grandpa Changting thought: The era is a bit long ago. There is a limit to everything in the world, so there are some things that should be exchanged. He really had to change.

Just as he was thinking, Uncle Waking Wood pointed to the resting peak of the ancient drama tower and said to Grandpa Chang Ting, "Uncle Ting, the seventh and eighth thick wooden rafters from the top are about to break. "

"Oh ~" Ah Chang Ting nodded and said, "Nephew Xing Mu, there is no need to speak about this matter, nor is there a need to discuss it with the clan relatives. In the afternoon, go to the Li Depression Village and find the best Great Wood Elder Si, say that I invited him, and ask him to make preparations. Find two of the good Great Camphoragate Wood and replace these seven and eight radars. "

Xing Mu's "Oh ~" Before Xing Mu could reply, Hua Dateng rushed over in a hurry and panted as he said, "Grandpa, grandpa, I've finally found you! Ashiya'er just called and told me to quickly find you. She said that she had something very important to tell you! "

Weeping Changting took the phone from Hua Dateng and listened to her granddaughter's words. She immediately turned to Xing Mu and said, "Don't go and find Li Ku's Elder Da Mu, Elder Si. Remember: No one is allowed to touch those seven or eight rafters!"

Xing Mu nodded with a confused look. However, he knew that Uncle Chang Ting was definitely right, and he would definitely do what Uncle Chang Ting said seriously and earnestly.
