Pingyang Fu of the Red Chamber

Chapter 532 Changing Feng Shui Position

Ningrong Street,

The bustling people, seeing the excitement here, gathered curiously to watch. They saw many Taoist priests gathered around and burned paper money. They thought it was the Taoist priests invited by the government to do this. Many children were still drumming there. Raise your hands.

In front of the main entrance of Ningguo Mansion, there are also two stone lions standing tall and majestic on both sides of the gate. They have similar looks. Even the rough hair can be seen clearly. Their manes are like needles, their bodies are slender and powerful, and they are majestic. At first glance, it looks like it was carved by a famous artist.

I think this pair of stone lions should have been made by the same person as the two in front of Rongguo Mansion, but the difference is that the one in Ning Mansion looks a bit ferocious, while the two in Rongguo Mansion look like naive and auspicious beasts. Also divided into one civil and one military?

Zhang Jinyu murmured in her heart. She couldn't figure out where the song was coming from Ningguo Mansion, and no one from Rongguo Mansion came out. The old lady Jia Mu was having fun in Rongqing Hall all day long. She was so anxious that she could still hold on. Tsk tsk. , I actually felt a sense of gloating in my heart, and secretly glanced at His Majesty and the Empress. Although they both looked curious, His Majesty's face didn't look good, so that was it.

Now, after the Immortal Master paid homage to the plaque on the main entrance of the Duke's Mansion, he walked around the position of the plaque a few times. He didn't know whether the two stone lions had committed a crime or occupied the wrong position. , the immortal master counted with his fingers, and circled several times outside the main entrance, then suddenly turned back and looked at the two stone lions.

Finally, I quickly came to the stone lions on both sides. I reached out and touched it again and again. First I touched the lion's head, and then the bottom. I didn't know what I was touching.

The people in the carriage were staring at each other. Empress Jiang had never seen this scene before. Her face was full of curiosity. She opened her eyes and took a closer look at the two stone lions to see if there was any difference. However, she couldn't tell no matter how hard she looked. Could it be that they were carved? has a problem.

As for Zhang Jinyu, she was interested in eating the melon, but she had no snacks in her hands and felt uncomfortable all over. It would be great if she could eat some melon seeds and drink some tea. Seeing that Emperor Wu was still looking at her from time to time, she had to go back Regarding what His Majesty just asked,

"Your Majesty, it should be the same as in temples and Taoist temples. It is the so-called burning incense to worship Buddha, or making offerings. As the saying goes, people compete for a breath of Buddha to receive a stick of incense. Even if there are real gods, they are just like people. Look. That Taoist priest in Ningguo Mansion must be planning some kind of auspicious ceremony, just like the dancing god among the people, looking for a goddess to ward off evil spirits, but I didn't understand one thing?"

"Oh, you still don't understand. Didn't I just say that the Taoist priest is considered auspicious? In my opinion, he is a charlatan. The two stone lions in front of the door have been placed for many years. Is it possible? I didn't notice anything was wrong before, but now I realize that the location is wrong."

Emperor Wu didn't believe this. Things had been standing at the entrance of Ningguo Mansion for a long time since it was built. If they were placed in the wrong place, there would have been problems.

Now for so many years, Ningrong Street has been calm and peaceful. On the contrary, since Luo Yunhou entered the capital, there has been constant restlessness. It is not possible that the two families are in conflict with each other. This is possible.

It's a bit ridiculous that Emperor Wu actually thought of this word in his mind. Thinking about it carefully, it's true that in half a year, there were a lot of disputes. However, this kid didn't add insult to injury. Instead, he said a lot for the Jia family. That's good to say, I really did not misjudge the person.

"Back to Your Majesty, my question is not these, but where did this so-called Taoist priest come from, and how did he enter Jia's house? This may be accidental.

But there is one thing. I heard that Jia Jing of Ningguo Mansion has been practicing Taoism at Xuanzhen Temple outside the city for many years. Although I don’t know how profound the Taoism he practiced, he must have learned something after so many years. Why does Jia Jing Zhen cultivated Taoism without asking his father, but instead found an outsider. Could it be that Taoism is divided into various sects like Buddhism? I am not sure about this. "

As Zhang Jinyu spoke, he directed the conversation to Jia Jing. This person has been studying in Xuanzhen Temple, not to mention practicing Taoism, but he has not even entered a house for so many years. The key is that place. Zhang Jinyu has always been curious, but When it comes to Taoism, just like Buddhism, there is always a lot of gossip, so it is difficult to check. Besides, there are many twists and turns in the sect, and I am afraid of offending the taboos of the world, so I have never sent anyone to investigate carefully. When I saw it today, it was Got the chance to apply eye drops.

After hearing this, Emperor Wu felt that what Marquis Luo Yun said was reasonable. There are indeed sects in Buddhism, such as Tantric Buddhism, Northern Shaolin and so on. The temples in various places also have their own sects. As for Taoism, it is even more mysterious. Although there are many Taoist temples, However, the Taoist General Forum, which is famous for being Wudang Mountain and Longhu Mountain, seems to have split into different families. This is even more unclear. There are many records of these Jianghu affairs in the Imperial City Division.

"Dai Quan, can you tell which sect of Taoism that so-called immortal master belongs to?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, after careful inspection, I saw that the clothes I wore looked like people from Wudang Mountain, but the compass and other objects in my hands looked like those old Taoist priests from Longhu Mountain, and my behavior turned out to be like those from Qingcheng Mountain. , it is really difficult to distinguish, and it may confuse the eyes and ears.”

Dai Quan's eyes widened and he looked at the old Taoist priest from beginning to end, and then identified them one by one, making Zhang Jinyu look back one more time. This old guy can do it. He can't see anything so clearly in the Imperial City. Si is indeed powerful, but after saying so much, isn’t it the same as not saying anything at all.

"I asked you to say all the good things. If you look at it for a while, I don't know what else will come out."

Emperor Wu glared at Dai Quan, then stared there again. Dai Quan lowered his eyebrows and did not dare to move, and gave a wry smile.

"Your Majesty is saying that the old slave is too useless."

I really didn't expect that I would encounter such a thing after leaving the palace. There was also Jia Zhen of Ningguo Mansion. She didn't come out early or late. At this time, she came out to get a Taoist priest to do something. She happened to be seen by your majesty and the empress. I don't know why. Whether it's a blessing or a curse, it's strange why the old lady of Rongguo Mansion didn't pass the message to Jia Zhen. It's too late to take care of it now.

Just at this time,

In front of Ning Mansion,

The immortal master who was still groping suddenly stopped and shouted loudly,

"Quick! Jia Jiaji, please quickly move these two stone lions away, about one position away, and put the two magic weapons of this immortal master in the original positions of the stone lions."

Jia Zhen was wearing a Taoist robe and a Tai Chi hat today. Then she looked at the Bagua picture hanging on the door frame and bowed sincerely. The eyes of the people watching were straightened.

After Jia Zhen finished worshiping, when she heard the immortal master's call, she immediately got up and ran over.

Following the direction of the finger, I saw two stone lions in the house. What was the point of moving them away?

He asked in confusion,

"Master Immortal, what's the problem with these two stone lions? They have been placed here for many years. They were placed by our ancestors when they built the mansion. Why should they be moved? Why can't they be left aside?"

The reason why Jia Zhen said this is that in addition to this aspect, the other reason is that these two things are too heavy and rely on human power to drag them, which is time-consuming and laborious. If they bump into each other, they will be missing.

Being watched by people coming and going, there must be rumors in the capital. Jia Rong was even more anxious on the side. The noise was already quite big. To move the two stone lions away, dozens of people would have to pull the rope. In this way, There must have been more people watching on Ningrong Street.

I'm afraid that someone who cares will see it, and it will be bad if rumors spread.

Seeing that the immortal master was unmoved, he continued to persuade,

"Yes, Immortal Master, this will cause a lot of noise. A stone lion weighs a thousand kilograms, and it takes dozens of people to move it. Moreover, it is almost noon, and there are many people coming and going. Sorry, I'm afraid there will be some gossip."

Jia Rong looked anxious and worried, and then said,

"Master Immortal, if that doesn't work, how about hanging those magic weapons on the stone lions? Isn't it the same thing?"

I thought that by saying this, the Immortal Master would think about it and cast the spell in another place, but I didn't expect that the Immortal Master heard this and flatly refused.

"Two laymen, today is an auspicious day in the zodiac, with full yang energy. It is an excellent time for luck to enter the house, although what layman Jia said is reasonable.

But if these two auspicious beasts block the way, the luck will be eaten by the two of them, and the remaining luck will be lost in the house. Furthermore, these two magic weapons are magical tools for protecting the Tao. What you have worked so hard for, with the help of the magic weapon, you can show great power today, and have a great fortune that will win your destiny. If you don't hurry up, you are still wasting time, noon is coming soon. "

After saying that, he also took out two magic tools to protect the Tao. One was a fan, which was an ordinary folding fan. I don’t know what kind of paper it was made of. When it was opened, it sparkled with golden light. Under the reflection of the sun, it was a bit dazzling. I don’t know what kind of skeleton it is made of, and there are still a few silver threads exposed. Everyone exclaimed, it is really a treasure.

The other one is a bit ordinary, it is a jar in the style of an incense burner. It is simple and unpretentious, but it feels very different. Under the sunlight, it is vaguely shining, and it seems to reflect light, but the reflection is red light. This way, one gold and one red, immediately It attracted the attention of the people, and discussions followed, and many people were envious.

"Oh my god, this is such a good baby. If the old man can see her, it will be worth it in a lifetime."

"Really, what kind of treasure is this? You can feel lucky just by looking at it." "Give me a little, give me a little bit, let me see, let me see."

"Look, you guys, it's shining."

When Jia Zhen saw the treasure that the immortal master took out, she was not calm anymore. The immortal master really took such a precious thing for herself. In this case, she really had to do it. She turned around and called Lai Sheng over and ordered. ,

"Butler Lai, go to the house quickly, call out those blind boys and the waiters, and find a way to move things away."

"This, yes, sir."

Lai Sheng had a look of embarrassment on his face, but seeing Master Zhen's stern face not allowing for refutation, he had no choice but to agree,

How could such a heavy guy move? He sighed in his heart and went back to the house. He called many boys. The boys came out and then left the house with hemp ropes, wooden sticks and other objects.

The strong guy took a rope and tied a loop around it. One end was wrapped around the stone lion, and the other side was stretched out for a long distance. Then everyone was asked to stand up one after another with the rope, and some boys were pushing behind the stone lion.

I only heard Lai Sheng shouting,

"Use a little strength, hurry up, there will be wine and meat tonight, come on, one, two, three, pull."

After listening to the order, everyone shouted,

"Pull!"

Then they worked hard together, and everyone gnashed their teeth and struggled to pull the heavy object. There were beads of sweat on their foreheads, and their faces were twisted with expressions of extreme pain, as if they had exhausted all their energy to feed themselves. Jia Zhen and the immortal master saw this and nodded. , thinking that he would just pull it over all at once, but unexpectedly, after waiting for a long time, the stone lion did not move at all, making everyone look at each other in shock.

Some of the boys and waiters were so frightened that they thought they had offended the gods, so they dropped the ropes and knelt on the ground, kowtowing and begging for mercy.

Even the immortal master and Jia Zhen were a little surprised. What happened?

"Jia Jiaji, look at it, these beasts know the wonders of this place and are reluctant to leave. You said that the two of them have sucked so much luck from Ningguo Mansion. No wonder the manor is getting worse and worse. It really cannot prosper."

Jia Zhen also looked at it with some disbelief, and even Jia Rong was half-convinced after hearing this. The father and son were shocked and doubtful, and walked down the steps to the side of the stone lion.

Then he stretched out his hand and put it on the back of the stone lion. The two of them also worked hard together and tried to push. Not to mention it moved, even the skin of the stone did not rub off, which made the two of them blush, but they also believed it. After all, How could a dozen or so people not be able to pull it up with so much force?

"Don't worry, Immortal Master. In this case, just add more people. Come on, put on a few more hemp ropes, fifteen people on each side, and then work together. I still don't believe this evil. By the way, the following ones must be If you stack up and push together, if anyone is lazy and misses the time, we will not be lenient."

Jia Zhen looked at the sun and it was getting late, indicating that the auspicious time was coming.

He immediately rearranged his manpower. After all, he was a nominal general, and ordinary sergeants in the army also knew how to stack up. This formed a combined force. This arrangement also allowed the people around him to regain their morale.

Two more condoms were put on, and then Lai Sheng was still shouting slogans,

"Pay attention, one, two, three, pull."

"Hey ha."

Dozens of people worked hard together, and the stone lion became loose. It moved a small distance to the side, just a small distance. Suddenly, it seemed as if it was pressed again, and it stopped there again. No matter how hard those people tried, it would still remain there. He just didn't move at all, which made everyone present change their expressions.

Even the so-called Immortal Master, Feng Keping, was also confused. It couldn't be that it was really a Feng Shui level. He was just talking nonsense.

I just touched it. It was carved from ordinary stone. How could it not move at all? However, it didn't look like a magic weapon holding the formation. After all, it had just moved. Could it be that something was blocking it below?

"Wait a minute, put the rope on the top, which is the stone lion's head. The bottom should be stuck. Bring the wooden stick over and lift it up to see!"

Seeing everyone stunned, Jia Zhen hurriedly scolded,

"Hurry up and listen to the immortal master."

"Yes, sir."

The boys and guys hurriedly put the rope on it, and got long thick wooden sticks from somewhere and prepared to lay them on the ground.

Finally, another combined force was used to pull the rope, and the stone lion tilted a little, and the base was lifted a little. Those people holding thick wooden sticks immediately inserted it, and then several people were tilting it hard.

It's about to curl up.

suddenly!

For some unknown reason, a thunder exploded in the clear sky. In an instant, the stone lion fell down, revealing the base of the pedestal.

Just when everyone was in shock, the person closest to them...

A steward exclaimed and shouted,

"Master, Immortal Master, look, what is this!"
