Tianlu like a deer like a horse, a liger like a lion and a tiger to ward off evil spirits, and a peach pluck with a thick mane and no horns, all of them are beasts that exorcise evil spirits.
This stone is really exquisite in craftsmanship, exquisite in carving and lifelike. The big beasts are about as tall as a person, and the small ones can reach the waist, or look down or look up, and their eyes are half-closed or wide, all looking in the direction of the gate. At the feet of these stone beasts or on the top of their backs, wherever there are gaps, there are stone carvings such as tortoises and tengu.
But for any ordinary person, as soon as they enter this house, they must first be frightened by the things in this yard.
I don't know if the evil can be avoided, but people can definitely be chased away anyway.
This is kind of weird...
A mason who relies on craftsmanship to eat, it is understandable to pile up some sculptures in the yard that can prove his work, but it is a bit intriguing to have to be so scary. Xuan Min carefully looked at the bluestone slab at the foot of the stone carving, and raised his hand to touch the nearest stone carving—
Judging from the moss on the stone slabs, these stone sculptures have not been placed in the courtyard for too long, which is about a month or two. And some of the stone carvings are newly carved. Although there is aura, the details can still be seen in a hurry.
I really wanted to attract visitors, but I decided not to put such a finished product in such a prominent place.
"Why are you so stupid not to leave?" Xue Xian hummed, "I'm going to swell to death..."
Xuan Min didn't even look at him, his thumb fiddled with his head and said, "There is an array in the yard, if I lift my feet and leave, I'm afraid that until you are full of breath, you won't be able to find a place to stay. ."
"Speak when you speak, don't mess with my head." Xue Xian complained drowsily, "It's enough to be dizzy, and you're going to make trouble..."
Xuan Min glanced down at him. This ancestor probably didn't talk nonsense, and it was no exaggeration to say that his dragon skin was almost burnt to the hand. Thanks to Xuanmin, if it was someone else, such as Jiang Shining or Lu Twenqi, he would have shaken him off with a "squeak" and shouted for fear of death.
It's like pouring a cup of hot tea on your hand, and it happens to be spilled on the thinnest flesh between your fingers.
I don't know why this evil barrier didn't burn out. Seeing that he always sticks to a cooler place, Xuan Min didn't think it would be any better, so he simply put the fingers of his other hand on Xue Xian's scales.
The drowsy Xue Xian let out a rather comfortable sigh, then moved his body and put his head on Xuan Min's fingertips.
Now he doesn't dislike others touching his head.
Xuan Min was quite speechless, lifted his feet and walked around the circle of stone carvings in the courtyard.
I didn't notice it when I hadn't left before, but only now I noticed that there were some thumb-sized stones standing here and there among these bluffing beasts.
At first glance from a distance, it looks like peeling rubble, but it is actually some small steles. The carvers in this area are famous not only because of their excellent craftsmanship and meticulousness, but also because of their "nothing to dare to carve". It can also be finely engraved on a place as small as a tiny square inch.
This thumb-sized stele is extremely finely engraved. There is a shrewd animal face on the forehead of the stele. The ears, corners, nose, and mouth are all meticulously crafted, and the eyeballs have not forgotten two small dots. On the stele under the forehead of the stele with the animal face, three words - Shi Gandang - were engraved with a teenage boy.
Shi Gandang is a spiritual stone used to ward off evil spirits. It is often found in fierce places in gate houses or at forks in streets and alleys to drive away evil spirits. In some places among the people, it is also called General Shi.
It's just that no matter what, ordinary people will only erect a block beside the door of the house, such as the dead door or the overly angry house. It's really rare to fill in the gaps in the stone carvings like the Zhang family. .
In the yard of the Stone Zhang family, there are about twenty stone dangdangs of different sizes, blocking seven of the eight directions, leaving only one opening, which is the one leading to the gate, meaning it goes without saying-
Where did you come from, and where are you going back
Therefore, in fact, the beasts used by the whole courtyard to shock people are just a guise to shock ordinary people. What really works are these hard-to-see Shi Gandang.
"Your breathing is a bit noisy..." Xue Xian grumbled and grumbled while he was still in a drowsy state.
"..." Xuan Min was silent for a moment, "If I'm not mistaken, the gasping sound is probably your own."
This ancestor thief shouted that the leader of catching thieves was first-class, and Xuan Min didn't intend to have the same knowledge as him. After all, just listening to the breathing sound of the bellows, the ancestors already had it.
Xue Xian lowered his head and was quiet
