Chapter 4: Sharpening the Axe


Shangliang is an auspicious celebration, naturally everything needs to go well, but now Shangliang is in trouble, this is the best palm ink carpenter master in the Punal Valley and even the east coast of North America, personally in Shangliang Ah, over the past few decades, Qin carpenter for the east coast of North America How many Chinese have built houses on the beam, it seems that everything is going well, after people live in, they will get rich, they will be officials, they will be prosperous in Zhaining, and everything will be prosperous, how can it be my turn to be the old Chen family, and it will be dumb Chen Siye's wrinkled old face is cloudy and uncertain, and it is really not good-looking, And the crowd of onlookers also began to chatter and gossip, which made the Chen family's face even more unbearable.The upper beam is just a ceremony, the size of the beam and the size of the frame slotted carpenter have been well prepared in advance, just to go through the motions, by the carpenter in front of the homeowner and relatives and friends of the beam, the beam is stuck in, it represents the "hardware" part of the house is built, only to be laid in the later stage, to make doors and windows furniture.And Fengtiao and Tongzi had checked many times in advance according to the master's orders, and thought it was foolproof, where would they have thought that at this juncture, the size of the beam and the size of the slotting were completely consistent, but they just couldn't get stuck "Second and third, what's wrong" Qin Shaonan, who was standing on another purlin, shouted, as a palm ink master and an old carpenter, he naturally held his breath at this time."

Master, the beam is not right," Kiriko replied to the master with a sad face."

The second child comes here, help me hold the god seat" Qin Shaonan shouted to Feng Tiao, Feng Tiao put down the beam and walked over to help the master hold the god position, Qin Shaonan came over and looked at the Liang Mu card slot carefully, there was no problem.The carpenter's things are carried with him, Qin Shaonan used a planer to plane on the frame for a while, and then played a three-line ink fountain on the beam, after a lot of busy work, he Tongzi lifted the beam upright, but still couldn't get stuck.The door is evil, and the beams that are perfectly matched in the slotted size just can't be put in, as if there are two hands in the dark, grabbing this beam hard, not letting it get stuck in place, and not allowing this new house to be completed Liang Qin Shaonan wiped the sweat on his forehead, put down the beam, stood up on the shelf, and carefully looked at the wooden frame of the entire new house.Half a century has passed since he came to the United States in 1948 from the land of Bashu, China, and this old Chinese carpenter, who is second to none in the North American continent, has realized that today he has encountered "grinding axe beams", also known as "grinding axe beams"."

Master Qin, what's going on, I'm not going to be able to do it, but you're the best carpenter in the vicinity, how can you even tie you," Chen Siye, who spoke Shandong, shouted loudly under the room frame."

Sharpen the axe," Qin Shaonan shouted at Fourth Master Chen."

Touching the father and mother" is not only the Chen family, but even Li Ling in the crowd sounds very different."

Third Senior Brother, you should be proficient in the Luban technique, haven't you seen that in the Luban Law Game that you blessed, there is something strange in breaking the game" Li Ling chanted this sentence in his heart.There are so many onlookers, and the third senior brother is far away on the shelf, Li Ling can only secretly cheer for the third senior brother at this time, in his opinion, the third senior brother should be able to think of a way to break the trouble."

Fourth master, someone else helped you find this house foundation, and I have nothing to say.I will put you on the beam today, I have encountered the grinding axe" Qin Shaonan said loudly to Chen Siye on the room frame, "You are now looking for someone to see, whether the ancestral grave of more than two generations of your family has collapsed" "How is it possible, our family also went to my father's and my grandfather's grave in the morning to make incense, our ancestral grave is fine" Chen Siye replied.Punal Valley is located in the mountains of northeastern New York State, more than 100 years ago, there were Chinese workers who died and were buried directly in the mountains, so the Chen family has an ancestral grave here.Qin Shaonan listened, thought for a while, and then asked: "Fourth master, let me ask again, there are descendants in your family who are not filial to you, and even abuse your second elder" "Hey, old Qin, what did you say this" Chen Siye's three sons roared under the room frame, "Dad is our most respected and beloved relative, what you said is a little too much" "Master Qin, don't worry about this, my children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren are all very filial to me, and I don't have what you said." ”Chen Siye also replied.Qin Shaonan immediately asked again: "Then, think about it again, have your family bullied the fortune teller, called Huazi This kind of thing is the fourth master, these words I asked, it is related to whether the beam is smooth or not, I build a house on the beam, and I pay attention to these "Fourth master, you know me, my old Qin has been in the United States for 50 years, so many years, how many Chinese villagers on the east coast have built houses, I went to palm the ink on the beam, there has never been an accident, after the new house is built, they are all prosperous and prosperous, living and working in peace and contentment, but today, it is really evil tight" After hearing this, Chen Siye's family thought about it at the moment, and then shook their heads, his family has a big business, and he has always been keen on public welfare and charity, so he has bullied any fortune teller and even bullied some people who ask for food.Seeing that they denied it, Qin Shaonan thought about it in his heart, and thought of the roof foundation again, but it was difficult to say, after all, the roof foundation was not found by himself.The house frame has been erected, and it has come to the time of Shangliang, and then come to people to say that the house foundation is not good, and the house foundation should be changed, this is not a curse on people, and people have bad luck for eight lifetimes.The stinger is a kind of legendary ghost that often appears in pairs, and the stinger that appears near the folk house is said to be a house ghost and a wild ghost.In the old days, when carpenters built houses for their families, carpenters with many rules would split wood three times with an axe in the south facing sunny place and sitting in the north facing yin place of the roof foundation to produce wood chips, which is the so-called "splitting chips", homonym "to ward off evil spirits".Only because the carpenter's axe is a thing to ward off evil spirits, if the "crumbs" are successful, the house ghosts and wild ghosts that wander near the foundation of the house will escape, and the new house built by the carpenter will bring blessings and good luck to the owner, and people will live in it will everything go smoothly and people will prosper.At this time, if it is a carpenter with Taoism, he will insist on continuing to chop wood, and fight against yin and evil with his own ability and righteousness, so as to finally force away these ghosts; But if the carpenter is not high, he can't hold on, and then he goes to sharpen the axe, and if the carpenter sharpens the axe, it is a sign of bad luck, and it is the so-called "sharpening the axe".It is said that the ghost was on the carpenter's body at this time, but it was actually the ghost who was sharpening the axe.It shows that the ghost near the foundation of the house does not allow the owner to build a new house, and if the owner insists on building a house, the beams of the new house will not be correct, or if the building is completed, people will live in it, everything will go wrong, or they will fall ill and suffer."

Chipping" is the practice of some carpenters with strict teachers and many rules in the old days, but the unlucky sign of "grinding axes" does not only appear when carpenters chopping chips, sometimes the chips are smooth, but there will also be "axe sharpening" in the later construction process.For example, when digging the earthwork of the foundation of the house, there is an accident such as the collapse of the ground hole, or the upper beam is not smooth, or the roof truss collapses, and the "grinding axe" has gradually become synonymous with the carpenter's failure to build a new house, and it does not specifically refer to superstitious sayings such as ghosts and evil blocking the way.In the old carpenter's view, if the ancestral tomb of a family collapses, such as being washed away by floods and mudslides, it will also produce "grinding axes", and the upper beam of the new house must be not correct, and the employer needs to repair the ancestral tomb immediately in order to successfully put the beam, which is the saying of "Yin Mansion Ning, Yang Mansion Shun" in the carpenter's business.In the old days, it was also said that if the homeowner bullied the fortune teller, bullied the flower child, or abused the elderly, it would not go well when building a new house, and the "sharpening axe" would jump out to make trouble.But the most taboo thing about building a new house is that the roof foundation is not right, such as choosing a yin house vein, or some places where feng shui is not conducive to yang houses, this kind of "grinding axe" is the most difficult, and it is said that it will definitely lead to the building of a house on the beam is not right.The only solution is to need the employer to change the foundation of the house, which will test the skills of Mr.

Feng Shui, if a half tank of water Mr.

Feng Shui picks such a foundation for the family so that the upper beam is not right, then the owner can only be blamed.But at the moment, the foundation of Chen Siye's family is not what Qin Shaonan is looking for, so Qin Shaonan is not good at saying anything to the house foundation, in his opinion, since it was found by Mr.

Feng Shui himself, it will naturally not be a big problem.In some places in Sichuan and Chongqing, "grinding axes" is also known as "Mofu Wei", Mofu is Mozi, who lives in the same era as the carpenter ancestor Lu Ban, and is said to be Lu Ban's number one enemy.Since he is the great enemy of the grandfather, he will naturally block the construction of the grandfather or the apprentices of the grandfather.Some carpenters in the construction, if they encounter some unclear, unclear, and unclear unsmooth events, that is, very mysterious and unpredictable emergencies, they often think that the ink master is doing the trick, and the enemy of the ancestor is haunting the ghost, then they will do a request to the gods to send the magic away, and send away the so-called "ink fu".If what Chen Siye said is true, their family's ancestral tomb is intact, and his family has not abused the elderly, bullied fortune tellers, or called Huazi, of course, it is necessary to ensure that the feng shui of the house foundation is fine.Then, there should be no "grinding axes" to make trouble, and the beams of the new house should naturally be smooth and auspicious.But the problem is that at the moment, the upper beam is not right, the maple and the tongzi are squatting next to the master, seeing that the master seems to be in a rut, he can't help but be even more anxious, the carpenter is not on the beam, isn't it his own signboard, in case it affects the business of the Lihua wood factory, it will be even more undrawable.Eliminating the "grinding axe" one by one, Qin Shaonan looked at the crowd of onlookers again, and then took a closer look at the room frame, his heart jumped, and he quickly pulled out the axe from his waist and asked Tongzi to hand him a wooden wedge."

Bang bang bang" Qin Shaonan split the wooden wedge, and the sawdust splashed.A strange thing happened, a piece of sawdust actually hovered over the beam, like a feather, and the onlookers under the roof frame did not seem to notice the strange phenomenon produced by a small piece of sawdust.But in Li Ling's field of vision, in the Luban Law Bureau of the house frame, a scarlet air flow on that layer of Hongmeng Qi was holding the sawdust, like flowing water carrying leaves, drifting things at will Qin Shaonan seemed to suddenly realize, and immediately shouted at Chen Siye: "Fourth Master, I explained to you in advance, I don't allow pregnant women to come to watch when I go to the beam, have you implemented this matter, your eyes are sharper, see if there are any women who are pregnant with dolls among these relatives and friends who came to watch Daohe" "Yes, third senior brother, you have finally found the root" Li Ling clapped his hands in the crowd and said, "Overlapping aura, it's a pregnant woman, there must be a pregnant woman among the onlookers at this scene" In the old days, ordinary carpenters built houses and beams for others, and generally did not pay too much attention to the rules.But for carpenters who know Lubanshu, they must strictly abide by some rules and pay attention to many taboos.Otherwise, if something is wrong, it will break the Luban Law Bureau that he held on the wooden frame of the new house, which will not only make the beams of the new house unsmooth, but also cause a rush to the owner of the house, so that everything will not go well and suffer in trouble.For example, when he was building the beams of the house, pregnant women were never allowed to come and watch.New books for care, clicks, recommended votes, collections, thank you book friends for supporting agt:
