When the Zhang Dequan and Uncle Liu heard my question, their expressions changed slightly. That Zhang Dequan seemed to want to say something, but was stopped by Uncle Liu. Uncle Liu said, "Oh, that's just a little problem."
I was a little unbelievable, and asked again, the sixth uncle still didn’t say anything. Instead, he kept pulling me out, saying that he was going to Niuwang Village to be a living god, and that the villagers in Niuwang Village were enthusiastic, playing and singing Kind of proficient.
According to my original intention, it was to follow him. After all, it's important to have a good relationship with them for newcomers.
What made me depressed was that Zhang Dequan grabbed me who was about to go out, and said in a deep voice: "Chuanzi, don't go out with Xiaoliuzi, he just went out Huohuo."
Hearing this, I looked at Zhang Dequan, then at Uncle Liu, and heard Uncle Liu say, "Forget it, I'll take Xiaoguizi and a few of them."
After all, he went out and went straight to the second floor.
After he left, Zhang Dequan and I were left in the entire room. Zhang Dequan first put the money in a box under the bed, and then he took me to sit on the side of the bed. He handed me a cigarette and asked me quietly. : "Chuanzi, are you really a ghostmaker?"
I hummed and said, "Just a year in the industry."
He glanced at me indifferently, shook the soot again, and said: "That's it. The temple we built this time will be followed by Boss Wu. I will be in charge of the work. Before the work starts, I have to talk to you about some things. Say something in advance."
I nodded and smiled: "Say it."
I don't know what's going on. I feel that his face is extremely heavy and he doesn't speak. I told the story about the foundation digging earlier.
He glanced around, got up and walked over, closed the door, and then walked to my side, whispering: "Chuanzi, since you are a ghostmaker, I will not hide it from you. It was in the morning. We dig the foundation and dig this out!"
While speaking, he bent over and leaned under the bed.
Soon, he pulled out a large wooden box from the bottom of the bed and opened the wooden box, which was full of messy tools. However, my eyes were attracted by the thing on the leftmost side of the wooden box.
The thing was about one foot long and fifteen centimeters wide. It was wrapped in a piece of red cloth, and the outside of the red cloth was tied with a few thin iron wires.
Just when I was stunned, Zhang Dequan took the thing out, fiddled with the thin wire on it, and said, "Little six said that this thing is okay to be buried in the ground. But, I always feel that it is not. Be steadfast."
As he spoke, he had already torn off the red cloth, and it was a woodcarving, and the carver was a bit familiar. Upon closer inspection, I knew that the woodcarving was one of the carved eight immortals, Lu Dongbin.
The strange thing is that the eyes of the wood carving were removed, leaving only two empty eye sockets, and a layer of red ** was painted in the eye sockets. What is even more strange is that the wood carving has two hands. Behind the body, there are two lines of red words on both arms, which reads, "Under the knee, it is difficult to be healthy. It's better to sleep with the animal and reunite under the spring.'
This red handwriting is like a living thing, leaping on the arms, powerful, majestic, and arrogant, and even gave me an illusion, this font seems to be evil, looking at it, can affect Sight.
When I look at this, I can’t take so much care of it. I quickly took the woodcarving from Zhang Dequan and studied it carefully, and found that the woodcarving material was a good crabapple wood. Judging from the fineness of this woodcarving, it was at least a hundred years old. history. However, the handwriting seems to have been engraved recently.
Seeing me staring at my wooden carving, Zhang Dequan asked softly, "Chuanzi, do you see anything?"
I thought about it for a while, and slowly said, "It should be someone who didn't want you to build a temple. That's why I made such a wood carving!"
I have a basis for saying this. Let’s start with this woodcarving. This woodcarving was carved by Lu Dongbin. In the folk, no matter what industry it is, there are ancestors of their own, like the ancestor of carpenters, Luban, and the ancestor of teachers. Confucius and Lu Dongbin are the ancestors of brothels.
Of course, the ancestor of the brothel has two versions, one is Guan Zhong in the Spring and Autumn Period. The reason was that Qi Guogang had gone through wars at the time and was waiting for prosperity. Guan Zhong was also a talent. He keenly discovered that the tertiary industry was a shortcut to get rich quickly, so he organized girls to go to other countries to earn money.
Not to mention, this method works well and makes money fast. In the end, Guan Zhong launched a cross-epoch popular support project in Qi State to open brothels. At that time, brothels were not called brothels, but women’s markets. Called Nv Lu.
The effect of this girl is very good, that is, it increases the national income, fills in the military expenditure, and alleviates the social conflicts.
Because of the official support, the brothel at that time was operated in an upright manner, with the meaning of “the door opened to the east, welcoming the quartet guests” in it. Because of this, the brothel of later generations regarded Guan Zhong as the “protector god”. Over time, it was passed down as the ancestor.
As for the relationship between Lu Dongbin and the brothel, it is rumored that Lu Dongbin has treated sex workers and turned them into immortals. Of course, there are also vulgar people who turn Lu Dongbin's name into female Dongbin. Anyway, it is rumored that Lu Dongbin has sex work. The people are inextricably linked, and there is no way to verify the specifics.
However, Lu Dongbin is a real living god in the eyes of sex workers. Every year on April 14th of Lu Zu’s birthday, many sex workers go to Lu Temple to offer incense, pray for Lu Dongbin’s blessing, and buy them in the temple. The last "fairy flower" was brought back, in order to hope that Lu Dongbin could protect him from finding a true love life.
There is still no accurate number of these two statements.
I said this to Zhang Dequan, and I was even more puzzled. What is the relationship between this temple building and Lu Dongbin's wood carving
Could it be...
At the moment, I quickly asked Zhang Dequan, "Uncle Zhang, wouldn't Niuwang Village be a brothel, right?"
He hummed softly and did not speak, but his eyes were fixed on Lu Dongbin's wooden sculpture.
When I heard him hum, my face changed suddenly, and I said angrily: "Isn't this a mess? How can I build a temple for a brothel? Isn't this slapped Lu Zu in the face."
I say this because my senior brother once said that women are generally prohibited from entering Lu Zu's temple, in order to fear that some sex workers may go in and beg for protection and tarnish Lu Zu's name.
There is no other way. Lu Zu belongs to Taoism, and Taoism always pays attention to face, but sex workers are not accepted by the world.
Hearing what I said, Zhang Dequan smiled awkwardly, and said, "This is also nothing to do. Who makes Niuwang Village rich? Don't talk about building a temple if you have money, even if you build an Afang Palace. What!"
I couldn't accept it, and my impression of Mr. Wu plummeted, so I asked him: "Wu, Mr. Wu can also take this kind of work?"
