When I mentioned the wooden windows, Qian Baili showed some pride on his face. He said that I had good eyesight. The wooden windows were made by him by a master. The master has studied woodworking all his life, especially in carving this. One piece can be said to be one of the best in our province. He also spent a lot of money in order to hire a master.
I hummed and didn't speak any more, so I walked over, raised my hand and touched the wooden window. Its material should be Tsubaki wood. Strictly speaking, it should be the best Red Tsubaki among Tsubaki wood. The red chrysanthemum wood is bright in color, reddish brown and purple, with clear texture, strong fragrance, moderate hardness, corrosion resistance, and easy processing. It is usually used for musical instruments or carvings. , Known as the Chinese mahogany, in the entire timber market, this red chrysanthemum wood is a high-end product and is of great value.
Upon discovering this, I looked at the other windows in the room again. What puzzled me was that although the other windows were made of tsubaki wood, they were not red tsubaki wood, and there were no exquisite carvings.
I asked thousands of reasons why. Qian Baili said that he had asked a Feng Shui master to look at the house and said that it was at this location. The whole house had a missing corner in the northwest, and the lack of wood was wood. So in order to make up for the missing wood, he couldn't install two windows on one window frame. Therefore, only the more expensive wood can be used.
I thought for a while. It seems that there is such a saying in Yangzhai Fengshui. However, I didn’t know much about Fengshui at that time, and I didn’t ask further, so I asked a few more questions about wooden windows. It was to ask him if he had offended the master, and then asked him if anything happened when the master installed the windows.
He said that no matter whether it was carving the window or installing the window, nothing happened, and he got along very well with his master.
Thousands of miles said that, my heart began to lose ground. Because according to my initial thoughts, there must be a problem with the wooden windows, but he said it was all right, and I couldn't say anything more. After all, if the general masters really want to work on this, they have to be at odds with the owner first, and no one wants to move their minds for no reason.
I think this way because my ancestor Luban was worried that his disciples and grandchildren would be bullied when they went out to work. He created a spell called "Missing a Door". This "Missing a Door" is divided into two volumes, and the first volume is Some harmful spells,
And the next volume is some spells to save people.
The ancestors considered the spells of "Missing a Door", which easily made the disciples and grandchildren proud and deceived. He deliberately set up a rule: the son is outside, and the Lord is inside. .
This rule says that when going to work outside, unless the owner deceives others, the carpenter must not harm others. Once he does harm, he must not die well. The hands will be paralyzed, and the whole family will die.
When this rule was first established, a disciple of Master Grand Master, named Xin Zi, felt that Master Grand Master’s rules were just talking, not necessarily useful or taken seriously. When going out to work, he had a crooked mind and asked his boss. It was ten times the price, but the owner didn't give it. He drew a tiger on the door of the Dongjia and cast a spell. About a month later, the owner was eaten by the tiger when he went up the mountain.
After letting the ancestor know about this, he asked Xin Zi the reason, and Xin Zi said that the owner was unwilling to pay. But the ancestor master checked it and found out that it was Xin Zi who was asking for the high price. His old man was anxious at first, but he didn't beat and scold Xin Zi. He just said that anyone who broke his rules would be punished.
Sure enough, on the third day, the Xinzi family of seven people, young and old, died suddenly inexplicably, and their death was extremely terrifying. Everyone's hands seemed to be torn apart alive by something.
But no one can tell the reason, and the government can't find the murderer, and in the end it can only be ignored. However, this matter is widely circulated in the carpenter circle. A group of carpenters believes that this is a violation of the rules of the patriarch, and has suffered retribution. Over time, the carpenters call this rule, the curse of the patriarch, also called the curse of Luban. curse.
Of course, this incident alone will certainly not spread to this day. Coincidentally, just after Patriarch's birthday, a very few carpenters believed that the curse should disappear with Patriarch's death, so they risked it. Dangerous, using the "Missing a Door" spell to harm people, and the result is no different from Xin Zi. A family of young and old died suddenly and their hands were broken.
In this way, every carpenter who knows how to work, feels that he has a pair of eyes behind him, staring at his every move. Once he moves, he will be cursed by the patriarch, especially those carpenters with exquisite craftsmanship. This is very particular.
I also said before, "Missing a Door" points
The upper and lower volumes are the spells that harm people, and the second is the spells that save people. What we ghosts first learned was the spells of saving people, but somehow the spells of saving people did not go on for long, in the early Han Dynasty. It was lost, and it wasn't until a character appeared that this saving spell was passed down in another way.
This character is Zhang Liang, who has a peerless talent. He, Han Xin and Xiao He, are known as the three outstanding figures in the early Han Dynasty. Everyone knows that Zhang Liang has military talents. Only some carpenters know that Zhang Liang’s carpentry skills are not Lower than Lu Ban, some people even think that Zhang Liang has far surpassed the Patriarch Lu Ban. In a society where the respect for the teacher is more than anything else, Zhang Liang did not dare to be big, and has always been flattering himself than the Patriarch.
It is said that when Zhang Liang was young, he devoted himself to the military and assisted Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty. After the establishment of the Han Dynasty, Zhang Liang resigned and returned to his hometown. First, he spent three years perfecting some of the flaws in the wooden tools of the father, and then Created two spells, one is Liyu and the other is Ziwen.
At that time, the second volume of "Missing a Door" had been lost. Zhang Liang combined these two spells into one and added to the second half of "Missing a Door", which is the spell to save people, and he rigorously educates his disciples and grandchildren. It can't be said that this spell was created by Zhang Liang, and it can be regarded as respect for the ancestor.
Precisely because these two spells were added later, many of these spells are targeted, and the spells that save people in the second half of the book are aimed at the harmful spells in the first half of "Missing a Door". So, strictly speaking, the real ancestor of our ghost craftsman is actually Zhang Liang, but Lu Ban is the first, and we descendants dare not make a second, so we can only call Lu Ban the ancestor master.
However, when doing certain things, we ghost craftsmen will take out Zhang Liang’s idol and place it with the patriarch Luban’s idol, but when placing it, we still have to put Zhang Liang’s idol slightly behind. , Cannot be placed side by side.
It is precisely because of these words in the carpenter that I have no idea, because according to Qian Baili, he gets along very well with the master, and the master cannot harm him. After all, this thing is also harmful to others. To bear the consequences.
If it wasn't for the old master carpenter to harm people, could it be that the problem lies in the red wood? After this thought, I immediately asked Qianbaili to bring a bucket of rootless water over, intending to try this wooden window.
