The woman whose face was covered with chicken feathers has never been as pretty as before. The four scars from the left eyebrow slanting down to the right cheek are always red, but Liu Ziyan led him back to his house with a donkey. , love as ever.He hugged this woman who had overcome all kinds of difficulties, and was no longer the incompetent man of the past. He was a husband and fulfilled his duties as a husband. They finally had a son five years later. With a son, this couple no longer wants to live a quiet and happy life.They fantasize that in this world, if they want to live comfortably and have a reputation, they must be officials.They agreed to choose the best cemetery for the Liu family; for most of his life, Liu Ziyan traveled all over the mountains and rivers for the happiness of others, and now they are choosing acupuncture points for themselves.A thin donkey, carrying a gray-haired couple, finally found a mountain pass at noon after a rainy day. Liu Ziyan was so excited that he talked about the beauty of exploring beautiful caves, why Fengshui is named after the mountain Dragon, the metamorphosis of the ancient mountain is in various shapes and shapes, the body changes suddenly when walking along the ridge, and its latent appearance and leap are unpredictable, and only the dragon is the case.The reason why the sun pulse is the veins that govern the human body, through which the qi and blood circulate and the endowment of the whole body, the clear pulse is expensive, the turbid one is cheap, the auspicious one is safe, and the unlucky one is dark, and the earth veins are the same.The dragon needs to be prosperous, the pulse needs to be thin, the acupoints need to be hidden, the pattern needs to be tight, and the sand needs to be clear.The water will condense.Huasheng opens the tent with two ears inserted into the sky, shrimp whiskers and crab eyes hovering left and right, and the sandy feet should turn when the bright hall is opened.He was full of classical Chinese and ancient sayings, how could a woman understand it, and asked what acupuncture point should be under the mountain mouth, Liu Ziyan pointed out triumphantly, saying that the mountain mouth formed a semi-circle on both sides, and there was a horizontal wall behind the ring, and after the mountain mouth, another mountain formed a big circle. Although it is not five towering and beautiful, four rivers return to the court, and the green dragon double embraces the official and revises the bell, but it is also the point of the sycamore branch. The dragon's body, branches and feet are evenly patterned. Piercing the heart, it should be the care of the ancestors and grandchildren, it is most precious! The woman said happily: "Okay, okay, I don't understand your acupuncture points, I only want my son's acupuncture points when he is an official!"

Liu Ziyan lost his parents since he was a child, and was adopted by his master to learn Taoism. He didn't know where his parents were buried. After the tomb was arched, he made a spiritual card for the first concubine and placed it in it. The big tomb announced that no one would know Feng Shui anymore.When the son was twelve years old, and the eldest son took over his father's will, one morning, the couple boiled a pot of chrysanthemum soup and took a bath, put on all the new clothes, and said to the son: "Son, we can't watch When you grow up to thirty or forty years old, it is impossible to leave you a house with a green hall, a hundred acres of fertile land, and tens of thousands of assets, but we can help you become an official. From now on, don't think about you Parents, don’t stay here, you can go out and do your own things! This world is so big, you will not be alone, you will have many great things to do.” The son is a smart and handsome person, and he obeyed his parents. If so, he knocked his head and went down the mountain.

The parents rode on the donkey.Although the woman is old, she is still pretty, she is still clean, her head and feet are neat and uncluttered, but she puts a seal handkerchief on her head, the handkerchief is too big, and the four corners cover her face.Liu Ziyan said: "It's warm and windless today, why is it so tightly covered?" The woman said: "It's ugly if you don't cover it." Even though the four scars were red, they saw the beauty of the past, and said, "You are not ugly at all. You are a heavenly man. You were originally in the sky, but when you came to the world, the peach blossoms hate you, and the spring breeze hates you." I hate you. So you have suffered so much, only these four scars are the only way you can live in peace! The sun is so good, we have to go far, why do we need to cover it?"

The woman obeyed her husband's words and was about to ride a donkey. Liu Ziyan went to help her, took the opportunity to pinch those delicate feet, and then gave her a stick of wicker to use as a donkey whip.The woman said: "If you pinch again, I will beat you!" The two then remembered the long scene in the past, looked at each other in the sun and laughed. One in front and one behind, they rode donkeys to their cemetery.Going straight to the vaulted tomb underground, he started to seal the entrance of the tomb one by one with the bricks and stones in the pit.It was so tightly sealed that no wind could escape, no light could penetrate.Liu Ziyan said that there will be a rain tonight, and the soil on the top of the grave will collapse and bury the tomb passage, so we can sleep peacefully.

How should I sleep? In the dark world, the woman didn't feel the shortness of breath immediately. She asked Liu Ziyan, and coquettishly asked Liu Ziyan to help her fall asleep, and if she wanted to, she hugged her tightly so that She rested her head on that broad chest.Liu Ziyan did as she asked.At this time, they heard the wind from outside the tomb sweeping across the top of the tomb, the clumps of withered grass swayed and made a metallic sound, ants and earthworms called, and the wet insects crawling on the tomb wall released a smell like ginger and spring onions. .At the same time, the two of them recalled the past years, thought of all the details that couldn't be more subtle, and regretted that they forgot to bring a jug of wine. These memories are shredded meat dried with salt, which can be drunk with gusto Woolen cloth.Liu Ziyan began to grope to untie the very old red bag that was almost torn if it was torn a little. The woman didn't see it, but felt it, and stretched out her hand, flattened it, and covered their faces .

"This is our inscription!" Liu Ziyan said. "Mingjing is to write a lifetime of merit." The woman said. "Isn't there blood spots on it? Let's count it as our own." Liu Ziyan said. The two laughed silently. "Will our son become an official?" the woman whispered again. "Yes. It's a good hole!" "What kind of official can you do?" "A great officer, indeed, a great officer!" Ten years later, there was a well-known actor in the Hong family troupe forty miles away. He was good at playing black heads, and he was called "Living Baogong".He is Liu Ziyan's son.Liu Ziyan stepped on the real acupoint in the cemetery for a generation, but he focused on making the acupoint for himself but mistaken the false acupoint for the real one.
