But the man who installed the beams for the Zhu family was a well-known craftsman, and I had never heard of any problems happening to any other family except the Zhu family.
Moreover, not long after the Zhu family encountered an accident, the beam-laying engineer also died of a strange illness. Therefore, everyone suspected that he had encountered something while laying the beam for the Zhu family, which implicated himself.
However, the person was already dead by then, so even if they wanted to ask, they had no way to do so. Later, they became even more secretive about the house.
"That beam-raising master was quite unlucky. He was originally a lonely man, and because he was implicated by the Zhu family's house, he passed away."
"A lone man?"
"That's right," the old man couldn't help but add a few more words. "I heard that when he was young, he married a woman from outside the family, but she cheated him out of all the money. Then my mother got into trouble, and he never looked for another wife."
The old man didn't know the beam-installing master at first. There are many small islands on this side of the port city, and most of the islands are inhabited by fishermen. Although the distance between them is not particularly far, the communication between them is much less than that of inland villages.
It's not that there is no connection at all. Occasionally, if there is someone who is intermarried, I can know a little bit, but I never match them up.
Wei Mian nodded thoughtfully, then chatted with the old man for a few more words, and had a basic judgment on the matter in his mind.
She didn't stop talking until the two of them had finished reading.
Wan Jide came over with a thoughtful look on his face, his brows knitted into a knot. "Brother, did you bring the owner's birth date?"
The old man was stunned at first, then looked like he just remembered something, and hurriedly took out a crumpled piece of paper from his pocket and handed it over.
"Oh, look at my poor memory. I forgot everything, some of it!"
Wei Mian saw an unnatural look on the old man's face, and guessed that the other party probably didn't forget, but just didn't want to give it.
As for why she didn't want to give it, she was not sure yet.
No one knows what is hiding in the dark on this small island, and Wei Mian does not dare to use the Sky Eye rashly, in case he alarms the other party.
She still prefers to play the pig and eat the tiger, keeping some cards in her hand, maybe there will be an unexpected surprise.
Wei Mian glanced at the birth date recorded on the paper. For Mrs. Zhu, there was only an approximate time, and the specific village was not recorded.
However, the other three were still there. She made a quick calculation and had a plan in mind.
Afterwards, the three of them sat in the shade of a tree and wrote down their thoughts on the house.
Wei Mian only wrote one sentence at first.
"A coffin nailed to the house will destroy the family."
Later I saw that the two of them were still writing with frowns on their faces. Remembering that they also had to write a solution, I had to write a few more sentences.
By calculating the horoscope of Old Zhu's wife, she discovered a secret.
Lao Zhu's wife had been married before, and she must have received a large sum of money from the other party when they separated.
Maybe it’s not called a marriage, but rather a marriage fraud.
This marriage fraud by Lao Zhu's wife not only made the other party ridiculed by other families in the village because his wife ran away, but also caused the other party's mother to lose a large sum of money, which made her angry and died of depression. The man who was deceived into marriage was the beam-raising master.
The other party must have been holding a grudge against him because of this incident, which is why he tampered with the beams and hammered seven coffin nails into them.
There is a saying that goes, "If a coffin is nailed into the roof, the family will be broken up and the people will die." It means that nailing the coffin into the beams of the house is equivalent to using the coffin nails to kill the vitality of the family.
Rusty coffin nails
Coffin nails are also called descendants nails, which sound like "descendants Ding". People nail these things on the coffin so that the deceased can protect the prosperity of future generations.
However, it’s a different story if this thing is on the beam, not to mention that it’s a real “coffin nail” taken from a dead person’s coffin.
At this time, the seven coffin nails are no longer nails for descendants. They represent the seven evil spirits. Think about it, if you are oppressed by the seven evil spirits every day, how can anything good happen to you?
Why was it Old Lady Zhu who died first? Wei Mian guessed that the old lady must have stayed at home every day, while Old Zhu and his wife had to go out to work during the day and did not spend as much time at home as Old Lady Zhu, which was why they died a little later.
But as long as we keep living here, it’s only a matter of time before we become extinct.
This technique is not difficult, but it is extremely insidious, and it is a trick that hurts the enemy by a thousand and hurts yourself by eight hundred.
The spellcaster did not die because of the involvement with the Zhu family's house, but because he suffered retribution for harming others.
As for how to crack it, it is not difficult. The more expensive way is to demolish the house and rebuild it, while the cheaper way is to remove the beams and replace them.
But this replacement does not mean that you can just remove the old one and replace it with the new one immediately.
It also needs to be left vacant for a few days to eliminate the evil spirits generated by the beams that have accumulated in the house. In fact, it means exposing it to the sun for a few days, and then choosing an auspicious day to put up the beams again.
But all of these cost money, and if nothing is replaced, just removing the nails will definitely not work.
These seven coffin nails have been integrated with the entire beam. The evil spirits on them have permeated the entire piece of wood and are not so easy to get rid of.
What's more, coffin nails are much thicker than ordinary nails. After the nails are pulled out, there is a risk that the beams will not break at the nail holes. For safety reasons, it is better to replace them.
However, if you really have no money and want to make do for a while, you can also use talismans to drive away the evil spirits after pulling out the nails of the coffin.
However, this method is not only troublesome, but hiring a Feng Shui master with this ability is more expensive than replacing the beams.
It is a method after all. Wei Mian thought about it and decided to write it all down, including what talisman to use and the name of the technique.
She wrote it simply, and the question wasn't difficult. The three of them finished quickly, folded their papers in half, and handed them in.
Wei Mian watched from near the judges' seats for a while. Some of those who came to hand in their answers were happy, some were worried, and some, like Peng Yuanlu, had no expression on their faces.
But Wei Mian felt that with Peng Yuanlu's strength, these questions were not a problem for him. Looking at those sad faces, she sighed.
It seems that this simple Feng Shui question is still difficult for some people.
Wei Mian saw that Zhong Miaoyi, who was dragged down yesterday because of her red dress, was still wearing red today, but the dress had been changed into a jumpsuit with a deep V neckline. When she leaned over slightly, the surging waves of her chest were almost touching people's faces.
Several younger Feng Shui masters kept peeking over. Well, it couldn't be said that only the young ones were there. Wei Mian saw with his own eyes that a man with white hair also turned his head over here frequently.
Zhong Miaoyi didn't care at all. She was wearing a pair of leather shoes with slightly raised heels today, so at least her feet wouldn't be hurt by the gravel.
The next item requires going into the mountains, which tests the Feng Shui master's ability to point out acupuncture points. There is a small bucket for drawing lots, and everyone needs to draw one from it.
