Master of the city

"Now in our village, if a woman is pregnant with a child, she has to go to the village health center to take a picture with the beep. If she is pregnant with a girl, she will be knocked out, and if she is pregnant with a boy, she will have a baby. The town knew what happened in our village. It had come to stop it several times. It was not allowed to beat children. And a lot of money. But after we understand the disease in our family, the town will not care about it. Maybe it won't be many years before there will be no girls in this village. "

The third uncle sighed again.

As a clan leader, he naturally understood that if a Chuang Tzu wants to survive and develop, the ratio of men to women must be kept in a certain balance. Otherwise, in the future, the streets will be full of boys, and the schools will be full of boys, which means that something must happen. Although the people in taozhuzhuang are rich, they can marry their daughter-in-law from outside when they get married. But how many women are willing to marry because of such a genetic disease in the family?

If a village's Yang is prosperous and Yin is declining to the extent that there is no girl, it will definitely lead to the imbalance of yin and Yang, and it is not far from the end.

"Come on, Xiao Zhang, I believe you are a capable man. Anyway, things are like this. If I don't believe you, no one else can trust you. You want to help us Zhuangzi solve this problem. Third uncle supports you. If you need anything, I'd like to talk to you, but there's one thing. There's really no treasure or secret in our Chuang Tzu. You're not cheated by you. "

"Well, I see. Maybe it was the master who decorated Fengshui for you. After all, in the eyes of the ancients, women are not worth money. They are just men's accessories. If they die, they die Third uncle, since there is no secret or treasure So, in your ancestral precepts, apart from forbidding contact with feng shui masters, is there anything else? For example, which buildings and furnishings in the village are not allowed to move and so on. "

"Buildings and furnishings that are not allowed to move?"

Second uncle and third uncle look at each other as if they want to find the answer from each other's eyes.

Of course, there are so many houses in Taozhu village, which can't be handed down from the spring and Autumn period and the Warring States period. Almost every one of them has been demolished and rebuilt, so now what Zhang Fan and others see is the style of Ming and Qing Dynasties. There seems to be no place

Wait!

Two old men's eyes at the same time a coagulation, seems to think of something very important.

"It occurred to me that in taozhuzhuang, the location and layout of two places have not changed. One is the ancestral hall inherited from the old. It's an important place for ancestral hall. It can't be demolished and built at will. Even if some places are dilapidated, we just use the same materials to replace and repair them. The other is a small forest called huadiaolin in the northeast of Zhuangzi. "

"Ancestral hall? Can you show me? "

"Well You're Xiaoxuan's boyfriend, aren't you? "

Third uncle hesitated for a moment and suddenly asked such a question.

"Well, yes. What's the matter, uncle

"Yes, it will be OK. In that case, even if it's your own family, it's nothing to take you to the ancestral hall. "

Ancestral hall is a place where people sacrifice their ancestors.

The ancestral hall is also the place where the clan leader exercises the clan power. If the clan members violate the clan rules, they will be educated and dealt with here until they are expelled from the ancestral hall. Therefore, it can also be said to be a court of feudal morality. The ancestral hall can also be used as a social place for the family. Some ancestral halls have schools attached to them, where the children of the clan go to school.

Because of this, ancestral hall buildings are generally larger and better quality than residential buildings. The more powerful and wealthy families are, the more exquisite their ancestral hall is. The tall hall, exquisite carving and superior materials become a symbol of the family's glory.

Generally speaking, the ancestral hall has one surname and one ancestral hall. In the old days, the clan rules were very strict, let alone the foreign surname, that is, the women or minor children in the clan were not allowed to enter the ancestral hall without permission, otherwise they would be severely punished.

According to the rules of the past, not to mention Zhang Fan, even Shi Yixuan is not allowed to enter the ancestral hall. However, the times are different now, and the Shi family and the fan family are not conservative families in closed mountain villages. As business families, they have a lot of contact with the outside world, and they don't know much about the red tape handed down from ancient times.

Since Zhang Fan is Shi Yixuan's man, it's not against the rules to enter the ancestral hall.

Because the ancestral hall is in the center of Zhuangzi because of its status and respect. Different from the general one surname and one ancestral temple, the fan family and the Shi family share the same ancestral hall. The plaque outside the ancestral hall reads "Fan Shi ancestral hall".

This ancestral hall faces east and West, overlooking the "Ding" shape, corresponding to the "human" shape on the opposite side of the screen wall, which implies "prosperous people"; the wind floor of the gatehouse is the porch, commonly known as the "horse riding corridor". The whole gatehouse is supported by two columns, and the top floor is the magpie nest Pavilion.

The whole layout of the ancestral hall is like a castle. In addition to the main gate, there are six small side doors, which are divided into five levels: the porch, the front hall, the patio, the main hall and the back hall. Moreover, the plane design of the ancestral hall is in the form of vertical stairs, implying the meaning of rising step by step. The door of the back hall is a complete circle, and the lower part of the circle is just tangent to the bottom of the gap in the wall of the middle hall, just like a castle The sun rises from the horizon. In the distance, it looks like a red sun rising from the East, full of vigor and vitality.There are five patios in the temple. There are two back rooms. The courtyard in the middle is a large patio, and there is one ear room on both sides. No matter from which direction, it forms a character of quality. This is also the ancestor's hope that future generations will have moral character, taste in reading and rank in being an official.

Around the ancestral hall, Zhang Fan was full of praise for the construction of the ancestral hall. The meaning of the building was similar to that handed down by the Shi family, which made the two uncles believe Zhang Fan. After all, some things can't be said if they are not professionals.

"Two old men, I heard my master say so much about the advantages of your ancestral hall, but there is one bad thing that my master didn't say. Why don't I tell you?"

Big black see Zhang Fan said two old man repeatedly nodded, unexpectedly also had a little itchy feeling.

"Oh, well, what's wrong with my ancestral hall?"

After hearing that there was something bad in his ancestral hall, the second uncle was not happy.

"I don't need to ask. My master is too embarrassed to say. In that big room, a lot of black air just came out of that big room and flew out in all directions. I'm right, master

Big black's face was full of "praise".

After hearing this, the two uncles frowned more tightly.

The one with big black finger is the main hall of the ancestral hall where ancestral tablets and statues are worshipped.

The existence of ancestors has always been a kind of protective god in the hearts of Chinese people. Although they have left the world, their spirit will protect future generations.

If there was any black air coming out of the ancestral hall, the two old men would have gone away. But Dalao Hei was a foreigner after all, and when he just turned around the ancestral hall, the strange look in his eyes could not be disguised. Zhang Fan is an expert, and the two masters didn't introduce each building to Zhang Fan. That is to say, when he said this, Da Laohei didn't know what the main hall was like.

"Xiaoxuan, come here."

Seeing that the two elders did not speak, Zhang Fan pondered for a moment, raised his hand to ask shi Yixuan to come, and then took out a silver needle from his pocket.

"Give me your hand and bear it."

Although she didn't understand what Zhang Fan was going to do, Shi Yixuan was obedient and sent her hand to Zhang Fan.

With the girl's low cry, Zhang Fan stabbed the belly of her index finger with a silver needle, then squeezed it with his hand to squeeze out a few drops of blood from it, and then without hesitation bit his finger with his teeth, mixed the blood of the two people, and wiped it on the eyelids of Shi Yixuan, second uncle and third uncle respectively.

With his own cultivation becoming deeper and deeper, Zhang Fan no longer needs to carry the willow leaf water which used to be a regular supply. Unfortunately, although he can see some things, ordinary people can't. Fortunately, it's not difficult for Zhang Fan to open his eyes to ordinary people. It's OK to wipe his blood on his eyelids. The only strange thing is that Zhang Fan is not a boy anymore. The color of his aura is a little strange after opening his eyes.

Rashly told the two old people that if there were dirty things in their ancestral hall, the two old men would be angry.

"Xiao Zhang, you put the blood on our eyelids..."

Before the third uncle finished his words, he was stunned. The old man looked at Shi Yixuan foolishly, and his brow wrinkled into a Sichuan character.

"Xiaoxuan, why is there a black fog on your head? So, what are those things? Alas, there are so many What's going on? "

Shi Yixuan didn't answer the third uncle. In fact, even Shi Yixuan herself was in a state of being covered. Although she couldn't see her head, she could still see her hands. Just now Zhang Fan pricked her finger, a little pain, she is subconsciously look at the past, but found her hands wrapped with some black smoke.

"Those are nothing. You can look at them in the main hall."
