"That's it. ”

In the mountain village, on the mountainside of a relatively low hill, Lian Ge glanced at the surrounding peaks and nodded.

"Although it is not a place with excellent feng shui, it can be regarded as good feng shui. It won't help future generations much, but at least it won't drag it down. ”

As he spoke, Lian Ge retracted his gaze and looked in front of him,

"Mr. Hu, what do you think?"

"It's all up to Master Lian and your arrangement. ”

"That's ......"

Lian Ge nodded, then walked around the field, drawing a rough rectangular frame with his feet,

"This first shovel, it's up to you as a descendant of the Hu family to dig it, just shovel it in this circle. ”

"Okay, Master Lian, do you want to shovel it now?"

"Shovel it. ”

Lian Ge affirmed again.

Hearing the sound, Hu Xianshou clenched the round shovel he brought with both hands, bent down slightly, and drew a shovel along the boundary line of Lian Ge.

"Puff ......"

The round shovel easily entered the mud, and a whole piece of soil was pryed up by Hu Xianshou and lifted to the side.

"Master Lian, do you want to continue?" Hu Xianshou straightened up slightly, holding a round shovel in one hand and asked.

Hearing this, Lian Ge shook his head, and then squatted down in front of the small pit dug by Hu Xianshou,

"Did you bring the incense wax money paper you brought?"

"Brought ......"

Hu Xianshou put down the shovel, picked up the red plastic bag from the side, and handed it to Lian Ge.

Lian Ge stretched out his hand and took out a pair of wax from it, and the three incense sticks stopped.

"The rest of these incense wax money papers, you can take them outside this circle, in all directions, and order them in every direction. ”

"Okay, Master Lian. Hu Xianshou nodded, then hesitated a little and asked,

"Master Lian, this is a dedication to the surrounding ...... Lonely ghosts?"

Hearing this, Lian Ge glanced at Hu Xianshou, and then nodded without saying anything.

Hu Xianshou also seemed to understand instantly, and began to light incense and wax around with a plastic bag.

Shaking his head, Lian Ge retracted his gaze and looked at the newly dug pit in front of him again.

Looking at the earth qi that lingers on it, winding and spiraling,

Lian Ge held the three sticks of incense with both hands, and when he turned his hand, the incense instantly spontaneously combusted, and three wisps of green smoke wafted out from it.

"Puff ......"

As soon as Lian Singer shook it, the three sticks of incense were inserted straight into the center of the small pit, and at the same time, a deflated sound sounded.

And in Lian Getian's eye, the earth qi that lingered from that small pit began to turn into a trickle, slowly flowing into the entire rectangular frame.

Further on, the earthly qi seemed to be hindered by something, and no longer diffused outside the frame.

Sweeping the gradually rich earth qi in his eyes, Lian Ge picked up the two candles as before, flipped his hand, and the candles were instantly ignited, and two clusters of flames danced on the candles.

"......"

Holding the two candles in each hand and flicking them, the candles instantly stuck straight into the two opposite corners of the rectangular frame just drawn.

After glancing at the three sticks of incense and the two waxes, Lian Ge stepped out of the frame,

"Mr. Hu, when the incense and wax are burned in a while, call someone to dig it. ”

Lian Ge looked to the side, burning paper money, towards Hu Xianshou, who was shaking in all directions,

"But remember, before the incense wax is burned, you must not break the ground, and you must not let people enter the circle again.

In addition, ask the gravedigger to dig along the circle just drawn as much as possible, and not go beyond that line. ”

"Okay, I see, Master Lian. Hu Xianshou turned around and said solemnly,

"I'll send Master Lian back first, and then I'll come back and guard again. ”

"No, just stay here. Lian Ge shook his head,

"I know the way, just go back by myself. ”

"That ......"

Hu Xianshou looked at Lian Ge, and then at the incense wax burning inside and outside the frame, hesitated, but nodded,

"Master Lian, be careful, the mountain road is difficult to walk. ”

Hearing this, Lian Ge nodded, didn't talk nonsense, turned around and walked down the mountain.

And Hu Xianshou stopped in place, and when he saw Lian Ge's figure disappear completely, he turned around and continued to squat outside the circle, burning the paper money that had not yet been burned.

"Uncles and aunts, aunts and uncles, big brothers and sisters...... It's all for you, take it and spend it......"

“...... My mom will settle here in the future, I hope you will take care of me......"

Hu Xianshou glanced at the empty surroundings, some gods whispered, and from time to time he looked back at Lian Ge and lit three sticks of incense and two waxes.

"Uncles and aunts, aunts and uncles...... I'm from the mountain village, and everyone is a relative, so don't scare me. ”

As soon as Lian Ge left, the surroundings suddenly became quiet,

It was obviously noon, and there was still a fire in front of him, but he still felt a little cold.

"Whew~"

Suddenly, a gust of wind suddenly rose, sweeping away the paper money ashes in front of Hu Xianshou and blowing into the distance.

This gust of wind frightened Hu Xianshou so much that he almost jumped up, but he still subconsciously looked back at the two candles,

Seeing the two candles lit by Lian Ge, the two clusters of flames were swaying, and it seemed that they would be extinguished by the wind in an instant.

In an instant, Hu Xianshou couldn't care about anything, and hurriedly stepped forward to block the wind with his things and body.

"Hoo ......"

Waiting for the wind to subside again, Hu Xianshou breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the incense wax that was still burning in front of him, and couldn't help wiping his cold sweat,

"Uncles and aunts, aunts and uncles...... Please take care of my mother, and don't let anyone blow out the candle......"

“...... When it is time to go to the tomb of my mother, I can also give you more filial piety. ”

Hu Xianshou squatted down and continued to burn paper money and incense wax.

......

At the same time as Hu Xianshou and the air were fighting wits and courage,

On the other side, Lian Ge also followed the winding mountain road, went down the mountain, and walked towards the Hu family.

"Master Lian. ”

As soon as he walked into the courtyard, Uncle Xu greeted him with someone.

Lian Ge nodded, and led the two of them to the table in the courtyard,

"How about asking the water to take a look?"

took a disposable paper cup, poured himself a glass of water, and after taking a sip, Lian Ge asked directly,

"The host said that the river at the entrance of the village has been seen, the river is not small, it is the dividing line between the mountain village and the next village, and it should be possible to ask for water. ”

Uncle Xu replied when he heard this,

"This is the road in the village, I simply drew a sketch, Master Lian, take a look. ”

As he spoke, Uncle Xu handed Lian Gezhang a simple map of the road in the backing village.

Hearing this, Lian Ge nodded, took it, and looked at the simple map in his hand.

"Uncle Xu, your skills are good. Lian Ge looked at the simple, but clear line map in his hand, and exclaimed,

"It's okay, that's it, Master Lian, if you want me to draw something complicated, I can only draw crookedly. Uncle Xu waved his hand,

"Master Lian, you see that we will go out to ask for water in the afternoon, where should we come from, and where should we go back?"

Hearing this, Lian Ge continued to look at the route map of the mountain village in his hand.

The so-called water invitation is a funeral ceremony in Shu or more widely places.

One of its taboos or characteristics is that you can't go back in the process of asking for water.

You have to go out of one way and back from the other.

"Go out of here, and then cross the river from here to ask for water, and then follow the river and come back from this side. ”

Lian Ge stretched out his hand, on the route of the sketch, with the Hu family as the up, and drew a circle on the sketch along the line leading to the river at the entrance of the village.

"Okay, Master Lian, then I'll go and talk to the master?" Uncle Xu nodded in response.

"Yes. Lian Ge nodded, and then continued,

"In addition, the cemetery of the old lady of the Hu family has been chosen, and when Mr. Hu comes back in a while, Uncle Xu, you can arrange a few people to follow over and help dig it up. ”

"Alright, Master Lian. ”
