The Shocking and Extraordinary Romance of the Great Sage

The main hall was finally completed on schedule, and the thousands of craftsmen were all paid their wages, and they were all happy.

Not long ago, a boat sailed down the Yangtze River. The big boat carried rations for thousands of craftsmen. Unexpectedly, the bottom of the boat rotted and a piece of wood fell off. Look at the ship sinking to the bottom. When Dongmen Jiebing received the news, she hurriedly put down her work, pulled Ximen Hua, picked up the black iron horse, jumped on the horseback,"drove", and galloped towards the river bank.

Seeing that the grain boat was about to sink, the edge of the boat was only one foot away from the river. Dongmen Jiebing jumped off the horse, holding the"Luban Saw" in his left hand and a"Luban Ax" in his right hand. He jumped onto a bamboo raft by the river with Qinggong and performed the"Five Buddha Amaterasu Gong". I saw one foot going a little higher on the reef, and the bamboo raft was like a spaceship traveling in the clouds. In an instant, it was on the sinking grain ship. The boatmen and crew members on the grain ship all jumped into the water and swam away.

Dongmen Jiebing jumped on the boat, put the long quay bridge on the boat on a stool, and used a treasure saw and a treasure ax to build the planks for patching the bottom of the boat in just a few clicks. He then used the three"diving dragon" moves of the"Five Buddhas Amaterasu" technique, dived into the water, fixed the wooden board on the bottom of the warehouse, took out a long stick from his pocket, nailed the bottom board firmly, and then surfaced. The time was too long, I choked on some water, vomited a puddle of yellow muddy water, and almost died.

After the leakage plate of the grain ship was repaired, the ship stopped sinking. The shipowners swam to the ship again and removed the muddy water from the ship, and the grain ship finally recovered. Then he brought the boat to the shore, and there were hundreds of craftsmen, with hands and feet, lifting and carrying, and unloaded three thousand stones of millet, which relieved all difficulties.

The next day, Ximentian's house was on the verge of collapse. Princess Ximen was in great panic and came to ask Dongmen Jiebing for help. Dozens of craftsmen among the craftsmen cursed:

"He deserves to die! There is no reward for evildoers!"

"Evil will be punished! Who taught him to deduct our salary?!"

"No matter, don’t fix it! The city lord has the ability, he makes up his own mind!"

"Deserve it! That's committing mountain killing! When I went into the mountains to collect wood, I didn't listen to the old man's words. I chose the direction that is opposite to Tai Sui! When carpenters start working, they commit cross-mountain killings, which is an offense against Tai Sui. Sure enough, there will be disaster."

"As all the masters and craftsmen know, the princess forced us to cut wood all night in order to build the house. It's so dark that you can't see your fingers, so the number of roots must be an odd number. When it's dark and you can't see clearly, you can't count accurately, so you must count an even number. And even numbers are yin, and yin is bad luck! This is a disaster that the city lord is asking for."

Ximen Hua and a large group of craftsmen all shouted in agreement. Dongmen Jie Bing stepped forward, calmly, clasped his fists and saluted, and said:"Seniors, workers, and junior masters, everyone has grudges in their hearts, but we should treat them with dignity. The overall situation is important. To benefit Luban New City, we cannot live without a city owner for a day. Money, food, and miscellaneous goods are all provided by Princess Daximen. If there is a stalemate, the great cause of building the city and buildings will be ruined. Please return the letter."

Dongzi's prestige is so high that everyone is convinced. After hearing this, the craftsmen were speechless. Dongmen Jiebing ordered a few people to start, and together they went to repair Ximentian's residence that day. The city owner and his wife were grateful and gave him a thousand taels. The silver was given to Dongzi. But Dongmen Jiebing distributed a thousand taels of silver - one tael per person to a thousand craftsmen.

After half a month, Dongmen Jiebing and Ximen Hua entered the eighteenth floor of the underground palace for construction. To the underground Luban Those who participated in the construction were all master craftsmen, and all of them were selected by Dongmen Jie Bing. The day and time were chosen appropriately, and nothing was tabooed. On this day, it was calculated based on the yellow sand. The craftsman thought:"When the world comes, The construction of the underground palace violated the yellow sand, and people lost their money and could not return home."The mistake of yellow sand is one of the taboos for work. The general calculation method is: the first, fourth, seventh, and midday days, February, May, August, and November fall on the Yin day, and March, June, September, and December On the zodiac, these dates are taboo days for Huangsha.

Whether it is architecture or construction, great emphasis is placed on the unity of time, place, and people. The craftsmen all agree that only when the three are coordinated well can the disaster be avoided. Auspicious, turn danger into safety.

The craftsmen have a complete set of auspicious selection techniques, and Dongmen Jiebing does not dare to violate it. The method of choosing a good and auspicious day is quite mysterious, as if it is dominated by gods and evil spirits. It refers to various astrological signs with divinity, based on the stems and branches They are arranged in order and appear in cycles. The auspicious technique of choosing a day according to the gods is intended to seek good luck and avoid bad luck. When craftsmen go into the mountains to cut wood, they must not make the mistake of the nine-day Suzaku. The Suzaku is the legendary fire spirit in the south. If the wood is stacked in this direction, it will There may be a fire disaster. This description can be called the"Nine Heavenly Seats".

Furthermore, the eight emperors: the craftsmen designated it as one of the taboo days. This day is three places away from Tai Sui, and it is also called Zhengbazuo. In the year of Zi It falls on the Guixi day, the Chou year falls on the Jiaxu day, the Yin year falls on the Dinghai day, the Mao year falls on the Jiazi day, the Chen year falls on the Yichou day, the Si year falls on the Jiayin day, the noon year falls on the Dingmao day, and the Wei year falls on the Jiachen day , Shen year falls on Yisi day, Western year falls on Jiawu day, Xu year falls on Dingwei day, Hai year falls on Jiashen day, these dates are all taboo days.

Who dares to disturb Tai Sui, Tai Sui refers to a star that records years and months. Legend has it that in the evening, the craftsmen saw the gods patrolling outside in their cars. The craftsmen ordered the craftsmen to kowtow three times and not dare to approach. Then Dongzi ordered: burn incense for three consecutive days to celebrate Tai Sui and visit the construction site of Luban City.

Such as anvil to kill , axe killing, dragon and tiger, death, sky thief, sun and moon anvil, dangerous sun, mountain separation, nine earth ghosts, Zhengsi waste, Kuigang day, Chikou, mountain mark... These are all designated as unlucky dates. It must be tabooed.

Stars, zodiac, heavenly virtues, and moon virtues are all auspicious. Stars refer to the auspicious times guarded by stars, which can restrict the dark sky thieves, heaven and earth thieves, the time when Tengu feeds, and the Sixth Five Hours. Zodiac: It is an auspicious day, That is, the auspicious days of the zodiac. There are six types: Qinglong zodiac, Mingtang zodiac, Yutang zodiac, Jingui zodiac, Siming zodiac, and Tiande zodiac.

Craftsmen believe that if you encounter this auspicious star, you will be It indicates a lifetime of good luck and enjoyment of glory and wealth. Yue De is also a kind of earthly branch based on a person's birth month, giving birth date and hour reflected auspicious stars. The fixed day, the complete day, and the opening day are chosen by the craftsmen to calculate the auspiciousness. Underground When the construction of Luban City started, they calculated and calculated again and again, and the"Yutang Zodiac" was first prepared. There is a poem"Jingmeng" that sighs:

Pulling gourds here and there, pulling melons from the ground to the ground.

I have seen bull heads and horse faces, and monsters and ghosts. Don’t be afraid anymore.

You are the one who dreams of death and life, and you are the one who dreams of life and death without him.

The black yarn is dead on the side of the banquet, and the masters and craftsmen laugh and talk about Luban flowers.
