"Chen Mo, where is this place?" I asked impatiently.
"Longjing Lock." When Chen Mo said these three words, his tone seemed to be deliberately aggravated.
"Suolongjing, isn't this Suolongjing a mysterious Feng Shui layout in ancient times? How come it has become a forbidden area in the Chen family?" I said a little puzzled.
"According to the legend of the Chen family, the Locked Dragon Well is unfathomably deep, and there is an iron chain of unknown length that goes deep into the well from the mouth of the well. Normally, the water that enters will smell like agarwood. If the iron chain is dragged out for a long time,
, the well water will roll and become turbid, and there will be a sound like a cow croaking from the bottom of the well, and the original agarwood fragrance in the well will turn into an unpleasant fishy smell." Chen Mo said.
"Chen Mo, did you always think that all the things about locking Longjing were just legends? However, after you and Zhou Lan accidentally went to Longjing that time, you found out that the things in the rumors were all true.
"I said.
Chen Mo looked at me and did not speak. Instead, he smiled slightly: "Zhou Cang, I found that your analytical ability is really super strong. With just one sentence, you can deduce the whole thing."
It seemed to be the first time I was praised by Chen Mo, so I smiled a little embarrassedly.
"According to the nearby mountain people, the swamp where the Chen family's back house is located used to be windy and rainy, causing flooding. The floods caused great damage to the surrounding farmland. Later, my grandfather's father, who was also my grandfather,
Grandpa came to this place and said that there was an evil dragon living in the swamp. All the floods here were caused by this evil dragon. At that time, my grandfather
Grandpa already had the idea of relocating his clan. In addition, although this place is an evil dragon, if it can be subdued, it can also be regarded as a particularly rare geomantic treasure land. Therefore, Grandpa followed the method used by Liu Bowen to build the city of Beijing.
An eight-armed Nezha map was designed on this piece of land and a mansion was planned to be built here," Chen Mo said.
"You are saying that this place was designed and built by my mother's grandfather. If that is the case, then the idea I just had may not be valid." I said with a little frustration after hearing this.
"No, please be patient and listen to what I have to say." Chen Mo said hurriedly, maybe thinking that I was a little nervous.
"Okay." I smiled and said.
"The construction process of Chen's house was very unsatisfactory. We often encountered extreme weather, coupled with the social factors at that time and some other reasons, so it took a year to build the front house of Chen's house, including the foundation.
It's not even done yet." When Chen Mo said this, he stood up, walked to the edge of the cabin, and lowered the bamboo curtains above the windows.
The bamboo curtain instantly blocked the incoming sunlight.
After he lowered the curtain, he quickly picked up the thermos bottle in the corner and made himself and me a cup of tea each.
After completing this set of actions, he slowly moved back to his original seat.
Because of what I did just now, I don’t dare to ask or urge him now. I just wait quietly for Chen Mo to finish those actions before he continues to tell me about Chen’s house’s past.
"Just when even Grandpa was doubting whether this evil dragon was really that powerful, and even Liu Bowen's eight-armed Nezha Tu couldn't restrain it, Grandpa came back. Grandpa has been out picking herbs all year round, and every year he
The Chen family's time was very short, so he didn't know that the Chen family was moving. After grandpa came to the swamp, he walked around the swamp.
After walking for three days and three nights, he ran to Lushan Mountain and walked for another three days and three nights. After that, he came back and asked Grandpa if he knew what kind of place this was. Grandpa said that there was a dragon here, and it was a dragon.
Evil dragon. At this time, grandpa asked again, and it was this sentence that established his decisive position in the Chen family." Chen Mo said.
When I got here, I couldn't help but ask: "What are you talking about?"
"He asked Grandpa if he knew whether this dragon was a male or a female?" Chen Mo said to me with a smile. He really looked like the storyteller in his hometown when he was a child.
"Isn't it necessary to judge what a place is based on its earth atmosphere? Is there a male or female earth energy?" I couldn't help but laugh out loud when I heard this.
"However, just such a sentence that sounds ridiculous to us now made my grandfather instantly look at the concubine in front of him with admiration. You know, my grandfather had twelve wives. In that era when there was no family planning
, it can really be said that there are groups of children, sir
My mother passed away very early, so when my grandfather was in Da Chen’s family, he actually had no sense of existence. If it weren’t for his extraordinary talent and his hard work, he would definitely be
There would never be such a huge family business today," Chen Mo said.
"Why did such a simple sentence change my grandfather's status in the Chen family?" I asked in confusion.
"I haven't figured it out yet. You must know that Grandpa Grandpa's attainments in metaphysics are very high. Therefore, it is already very remarkable to be recognized by Grandpa Grandpa. However, Grandpa's words made him
Grandpa Grandpa was shocked. Based on this alone, you can guess how much information Grandpa's seemingly joking words contained." Chen Mo said.
"So, is this dragon a male or a female?" I asked again ignorantly.
"The family history of the Chen family did not give a specific explanation. It just said that after Grandpa Grandpa heard this, he said that this land should be given to Grandpa. From now on, he does not need to be the Chen family's herb gatherer and allows Grandpa to follow him.
They studied Yi Yi together, and also handed over the architectural design rights of this mansion to grandpa. And grandpa did not miss it. The Chen family has become much stronger under the leadership of grandpa, Chen Mo said.
"Chen Mo, didn't my grandfather have many brothers and sisters? Why have I never heard you mention it before?" I heard the unreasonable factors in it.
"The Chen House only built the front house at the beginning. After the front house was built, only Grandpa and his family moved here. The others all moved in another direction. Moreover, the old Chen family
It was also destroyed at the same time." Chen Mo said.
"Chen Mo, there seem to be many unreasonable factors here. According to traditional Chinese thinking, no matter how much my grandpa thinks highly of his grandpa, he is not the legitimate son of the Chen family. So, what kind of reason did he let grandpa do in the first place?
He gave up his legitimate son and grandson and followed this concubine's son, traveling thousands of miles to come here, and also taught him all his life-long skills.
. If it is the relocation of the entire Chen family, I can accept it. However, according to your current description, only the grandfather's branch of the Chen family came here. This seems to be the same as the grandfather's order to let his descendants
The original intention of choosing such a place and then designing such a huge house for prosperity is not so consistent." I said.
"Zhou Cang, what you are talking about is something that Zhou Lan and I have always struggled to understand. And do you know? After the Chen family moved here, my grandfather went out for a very long time. After he went out this time, he came back.
So we started building the Suolong Well behind the Chen family. I heard that the night the Suolong Well was built, a blood moon appeared in the sky," Chen Mo said.
"Blood moon? Isn't the blood moon a lunar eclipse? It's actually an astronomical phenomenon. What does it have to do with Suolongjing?" I asked in confusion.
"Maybe, but after coming out of Shennongjia, some of my previous perceptions have really changed. Maybe what we always thought was correct may be wrong," Chen Mo said.
"Chen Mo, are you in the biochemical laboratory that the Chen family conducted on the Sirius people, in the Suolongjing?" I seemed to suddenly have an epiphany.
