Ma Chengfeng shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's the Cat Immortal Temple again, so why does it seem that I don't have Wang Zunbi in my hand?" After a long time, everyone knows that there is a problem with the Cat Immortal Temple, but we are the last to know? ”

"The group of craftsmen who built the Maoxian Temple had a surname Cui, a very famous mason in our Lingzhou, known as Cui Gong, in the Song Dynasty, even the emperor's bedroom and some temples were from Cui Gong's hands. He is the greatest person who went abroad in the history of our Lingzhou, and now near the small south gate, there is a Cui Gong Ancestral Hall, and the descendants of the Cui family live behind the ancestral hall, our water family has some friendship with the Cui family, tomorrow morning the old man will take you to meet the Cui family, believe in the mystery of the altar, and you will know it when you ask. "In ancient times, as long as you build a house, you are called a mason, and you are called a master by respecting you. However, according to the current professional name, Cui Gong is a large-scale engineering designer.

Cui Gong has this person, and many of the temple buildings left in Jiangnan during the Great Song Dynasty are from Cui Gong's hands. So much so that now somewhere in the south of the Yangtze River, everyone who just wants to engage in engineering, they all think that Cui Gong is their ancestor, and they have to go to worship Cui Gong Ancestral Hall every New Year's Day.

Early the next morning, Ma Chengfeng prepared a gift and went to the Cui Gong Temple with Chang Xiaoman and Granny Shui.

The small south gate is not the south gate of Lingzhou, this south gate refers to the archway built by Cui Gong in front of Lingzhou Toudao Street, and the word "difficult door" is written on the archway.

Why is it called "Difficult Gate"? Lingzhou was a more prosperous city during the Great Song Dynasty, with a strict local hierarchy, and the Lingzhou City was given by the emperor to the second son as a territory in the Great Song Dynasty. Inside the difficult gate, even if it is the inner city, the inner city lives the vassal king of Lingzhou, his generals and his family. Ordinary people can't take half a step into the difficult door. The huge Lingzhou city must be under the jurisdiction of the vassal king, the Song Dynasty when the official government is mediocre and incompetent, even if there is a state capital, it is all empty furnishings, the common people have grievances and are difficult to redress, and some of them want to go to the vassal king to complain. But no one is allowed to run through this gate, and if they are caught by officers and soldiers, they will be beheaded immediately. It is as difficult as climbing to the sky through this gate, and the common people call this gate "difficult door".

Later, until the reform and opening up, people may think that the name is not very good, so it was changed to "South Gate". There is a small south gate, and there is naturally a big south gate, and the big south gate is the south gate of Lingzhou.

Thousands of years have passed like a world away, and the Pearl of Jiangnan has been reduced to a small city. Although Lingzhou left Cui Gong Ancestral Hall, but few people come to worship, not that the old people forget their roots, but even if the current children study engineering, they are all atheists, how can they come to worship Cui Gong?

Cui Gong Ancestral Hall is behind the small south gate, Ma Chengfeng and they worshiped the statue of Cui Gong in the small ancestral hall in order to be polite. Then, under the leadership of Granny Shui, she walked through the Cui Gong Temple and went straight to the backyard.

The backyard is also an old house, the old house is very elegant, at a glance you know how far away his year is, everywhere is full of ancient atmosphere, a large plaque engraved with the word "Cui Fu". Inside the door is a shadow wall, and five bats are carved on the shadow wall, which means that the five blessings are auspicious.

Birds and flowers in the yard, old trees, old houses, old people......

"Ladies and gentlemen...... Ladies and gentlemen, this is ...... Who are you looking for? An old man in an old-fashioned robe was sitting on the Taishi's chair and was teasing the birds, and when he saw someone coming in, he stood up and asked.

"Big brother...... You...... Are you Cui Yaozu? Granny Shui squinted at the old man, who was about the same age as him, but his body was obviously inferior to Granny Shui.

The old man put on reading glasses, as if he also had some impression of Granny Shui, but he didn't recognize it after looking at it for a long time.

"You...... You are......? ”

"I'm the second girl of the Shui family, right? You forgot? When you were young, you often went to our water house to eat fish? Do you want to say that my family is fat in the Bihan River? Your father beat you up for this. ”

"Oh...... Two girls? Is it really you? Ouch yo ...... After all these years, where have you been? I...... Am I right? Is it really you? "Cui Yaozu is very excited, people start to miss the old when they get older, and even their childhood friends are their closest people." Hurry up, hurry up! Don't stand here talking, come in! ”

Cui Yaozu took them into the inner house and hurriedly instructed the maid to make tea.

Even if the Cui family is now, it is also a big family in Lingzhou City, and people don't have to show up like those businessmen, the Cui family has a solid background, and it is estimated that it will be no problem for another ten or eight generations. It's just that the Cui family's population has withered now, and Cui Yaozu said that the Cui family now has only one great-grandson left, and the great-grandson is now studying architecture in the United States.

"Okay, okay, after the famous family, it seems that my country is going to produce a great designer again." Granny Water was polite. She really envied these children who had children and grandchildren.

"Second girl, you haven't shown up for so many years, I guess I have something to do with coming to my brother today, right? You and I are world friends, so you don't have to go around in circles, but it doesn't hurt to say it. Cui Yaozu is also an understanding person, and when he saw that Granny Shui brought a few people from the Northeast, he knew that he had something to ask for.

"Old lady Cui, hello, my name is Ma Chengfeng, I am from Kanto, I have heard of the name of Cui Gong for a long time, and it is an honor to see you today! Be careful, and hope to smile. Ma Chengfeng took over the conversation and presented the gift.

"Well, you still know the rules in your later life, it's your business? Hehe...... If I'm not mistaken, what you're asking must have something to do with the Cat Fairy Temple, right? ”

"Oh? How do you always know? God-man, it seems that Cui Gong has also learned the craft of the unknown prophet after that? Ma Chengfeng said with a smile.

"No, no, no, I won't tell you, you are already the fourth wave of door-to-door visits, and it is rare for my Cui family to be lively these days! But the old man couldn't figure it out, why were all Kanto people coming to me? Old man Cui scratched his head and motioned for the maids to pour them tea.

"What? Are we the fourth wave? Are they all from the Northeast? "Ma Chengfeng thought about it carefully, Ye Shan, Tong Sixi, the old blind man, plus himself, isn't the northeast force in Lingzhou City just the four waves of people?

"Yes, I didn't expect that a cat shrine left by the ancestors has attracted so many merchants, but I don't know if there is a secret you want to know?" Old man Cui smiled.

Ma Chengfeng wanted to say something again, but was stopped by Granny Shui, at this time, it was still an acquaintance who was easy to talk to.

"Big brother, you ...... Did you really tell them? ”

"How can the things left by our ancestors be easily given to others? Just a lot of money, I Cui Yaozu is not lacking! But...... Now that the second girl has spoken, I still have to give this face. Tell me, what do you want to know? ”
