Volume 1 Chapter 18 Do more good deeds and accumulate virtue
The name of the scriptures, except for the three words of the Lengyan Sutra, Shen Mingkun has heard of it, and the string of words behind it, but he has never heard of it, but he doesn't care whether he has heard it or not, so he stuffed the scripture into Shen Shengwen's hand, "Do it honestly according to Mr. Luo's words, if you let me know that you didn't do it, see if I don't pick your skin!"
"Got it!" Shen Shengwen lowered his head and whispered, not daring to look up at Luo Fan.
Shen Mingkun watched his wife bring a thick cushion and put it in front of the portrait of the ancestor in the middle hall, and snorted, Shen Shengwen is still in a wheelchair, it is a little difficult to kneel, and it is not too much to take a cushion.
Shen Shengwen was helped down from the wheelchair by the bodyguard and knelt down, opened the scriptures and began to read, "Ananda, what is the cloud and the heart, my name is the precept? If the beings of the six realms of the world ......."
"Let's go over!" Seeing this, Luo Fan nodded and said to Shen Mingkun.
"Mr. Luo, please!"
Shen Mingkun didn't know about Buddhist scriptures, but Luo Fan did, and this was also the day before he called Wunian and asked him to bring it to Shen Shengwen.
This "Lengyan Sutra: Four Decisions and Pure Teachings" is one of the many confessional ritual scriptures in Buddhism, and this book is not obscure or long compared to Shen Shengwen, but the effect of eliminating the anger of the ancestors and the confession of their own karma is still very good.
In addition, there are such as "The Great Confession of the Buddha", "Liang Huang Bao Confession", "Hundred Characters Ming Ruyi Treasure Bead Purification Method", etc., which are very effective in eliminating prostitution.
Two days ago, Shen Mingkun had already transported all the materials for renovating the ancestral grave and stacked them on the edge of the pond in front of the village cemetery.
Many people from the village came to see the excitement.
I saw Luo Fan wearing an unmarked Taoist robe, his hair was combed into a bun on the top of his head, his appearance was handsome, and he looked like an immortal, and they all discussed, where did Shen Mingkun invite such a good-looking Taoist priest.
In front of the ancestral grave of the Shen family, according to Luo Fan's instructions, an incense table was placed on it, on which were placed offerings such as pig's heads, chickens and ducks, fruits, and grains.
On both sides are two incense candles invited back from Guanglong Temple, and a copper incense burner in the middle, which contains aged incense ashes, and I don't know how Shen Mingkun found them in a short period of time.
Luo Fan stood in front of the incense case, Fat Dahai stood on the left side of the incense case, Shen Mingkun, his wife and the immediate relatives and friends who hurried over all stood behind Luo Fan in front of the incense case.
Luo Fan looked at the hour, turned around and said, "Let's start!"
Shen Mingkun hurriedly knelt down with his family and relatives!
The reason why Shen Shengwen was not allowed to come over but knelt in front of the portrait of the ancestor in front of the hall to recite repentance, Luo Fan told Shen Mingkun that this was for the ancestors of the Shen family.
If he is also allowed to come to the grave and be seen by his ancestors, it is estimated that it will cause anger and become uncontrollable.
In fact, he just wanted Shen Shengwen to endure hardships, deepen his impression and have a longer memory.
Think you're done offending yourself?
Master can't kill you!
Luo Fan turned around, did the Taoist godly ritual in front of him, and then used two fingers to pull out the three incense sticks on the table, lit them on the incense candle and shook off the open flame, and then used the incense method to worship the gods of the four directions, and then inserted the three incense sticks into the incense burner with his left hand.
"Bye!" Fat Dahai shouted beside him.
Shen Mingkun hurriedly took his relatives, friends and family members to bow down to the ancestral tomb.
After three bows, Luo Fan was already holding a bowl of water with talisman paper incense ash, and after flicking it on Shen Mingkun's body, he went around to the side of the incense case and picked up a copper bell on the table.
This bell is very particular in Taoism, not every feng shui master will use this, only when it comes to the migration of the yin house, or the rebuilding of the yin house feng shui, and most of them are also Taoist priests.
The familiar scene is that the feng shui master holds a peachwood sword, jumps up and down for a long time, inserts a character and shakes it to be cremated into ashes, and then uses a magic weapon to form an inherent feng shui bureau.
It was all made in the movie for the sake of good looks, and the actual procedure was very different from the familiar scene.
In the past, many people's ancestral graves had problems, and most of them were formed by the destruction of the grave bag or the change of the surrounding environment.
There is a very elaborate procedure for doing this kind of ritual.
However, the Shen family was caused by the filth and infection of their own children and grandchildren, and the procedure would be many different from those in ordinary times.
The ritual is also a formality, which means to comfort the ancestors and forgive the sins of the children and grandchildren, and that's it, after all, the dead are great, not to mention the ancestors.
From the outsider's point of view, it is necessary to talk about ghosts and gods, Taoism pays attention to the distinction between yin and yang, and Buddhism pays attention to hell and the Elysium of the afterlife, so the expressions of everyone present are extremely serious.
The most important thing for a feng shui master is not only to exorcise ghosts and ward off evil spirits, but also to change the surrounding environment and aura through a means, so as to achieve the desired goal by means of the environment and aura that coincides with the needs of the environment.
To put it bluntly, it's very simple, but it's such a simple thing, after thousands of years of historical changes and cultural evolution, many things can't be explained by science.
If you don't understand these things, at least you will be in awe of the ancestral gods.
As the saying goes, there are gods three feet above your head, that's the truth.
Luo Fan shook the copper bell, silently recited the clearing mantra in his mouth, and ten minutes later, he pressed the copper bell on the table, "Do it!"
Hearing Luo Fan's words, Shen Mingkun knew that he could start digging the grave and rebuilding, so he hurriedly waved behind him, and immediately several sturdy men came up with various tools.
There was no Luo Fan's matter here for a while, and before doing the thing, he had already explained all the procedures to Shen Mingkun very clearly, as long as there were no mistakes, there would be no problem at all.
The cement repair of the ancestral tomb was first broken by an electric hammer, and then the earth was dug up with a shovel after being removed, and finally the coffin inside was exposed.
"Block!" On the other side, as soon as the people who had arranged it shouted and saw seven or eight people holding the awnings that had been made and placed on top of the ancestral tomb to block the sunlight, while the people below continued to dig.
Shen Mingkun deliberately went to take a look, and sure enough, the coffin that was about to rot inside stained a corner.
Others didn't know, and thought it was caused by the dampness underground, but Shen Mingkun knew it, and even if he hated Shen Shengwen in his heart, he couldn't say it.
Finally, the coffin was lifted up and placed in the shady place where it had been set up, and a new coffin was brought from the side.
After the coffin was placed here, Luo Fan sprinkled some glutinous rice mixed with incense ash around in the past, and asked Shen Mingkun to light incense and insert it in the incense burner inside, so that he could pick up the bones and move the coffin.
Next, it was time for the tomb to be repaired.
The dirt that had been defaced before had to be dug up, but Shen Mingkun didn't dare to be careless, and personally watched as a large piece of soil was dug up, and new soil was dug up from the foot of the clean mountain.
"Mr. Luo! It's all done!" After doing this, Shen Mingkun came over to ask Luo Fan.
Luo Fan nodded, "This side is buried before noon!
"Okay, I'll go and inform!" Shen Mingkun hurriedly left.
To be honest, whether it is the relocation of the ancestral grave or the burial of the ancestral graves played in many movies and televisions, it is extremely complicated, and it is better to say a little about the auspicious day of the zodiac, and it also pays attention to how long the spirit is stopped, how to seal the soil, and how to ......
In fact, how can it be so troublesome, as long as the day of the earth can be moved is the auspicious day of the zodiac, and these things can be done before noon.
When the tomb is sealed, all that remains is the repair of the exterior, and there is no need for everyone to stay here, just leave it to someone who specializes in doing it.
Shen Mingkun left one or two people here to watch, and the rest went back.
On the side of the old mansion, from today onwards, there will be a feast for three days, and Shen Shengwen will have to keep the spirit for seven days from today.
At night, he could only stay in the mourning hall built in the main hall, burning paper on the spiritual tablets of his ancestors and chanting the Buddha's spirit.
The three-day banquet can be regarded as the Shen family's gratitude to the people in the village, saying that thanks to everyone's help today, they can successfully rebuild the yin house for their ancestors.
And what Luo Fan meant, in addition to this point of customs and customs, there is another thing he didn't say, that is, to let the Shen family know that if you do bad things and want to solve them, you can't do it if you have money.
In addition to doing good deeds, you must also treat the people around you well.
The flowing water seat is at the gate of the Shen family's old house, and the villagers come to eat round after round, and they eat for three days in a row, and ordinary people really can't afford such a big scene.
After Shen Shengwen had lunch, he knelt down in front of the portrait of his ancestors and began to kneel and recite Buddhist scriptures in the afternoon.
He was really afraid, so although he felt that it was completely superfluous to do so, what happened before and after, coupled with Shen Mingkun's anger and his mother's statement afterwards, made him afraid, he knew all the unfortunate things in his family, he was the culprit, and he could only honestly kneel in front of his ancestors and repent.
It's just that I still have a trace of hatred for Luo Fan in my heart.
After the grave was lifted and the coffin was lifted, and the last spade was covered with the grave cap, the original feng shui bureau of the Shen family's ancestral tomb "hummed" and restarted, and the soft auspicious qi shrouded it, and all the black evil qi that was mixed in it before was gone.
At this point, Luo Fan's mission is completed.
After dinner, Luo Fan said to Shen Mingkun: "The affairs of the Shen family have been resolved, and if you do more good deeds in the future, the Shen family will be the same as before!"
Shen Mingkun was overjoyed, and gave Luo Fan a deep salute, "Fortunately, Mr. Luo's righteousness, otherwise, I am afraid that there will be no Shen family in Jiangcheng in the future!
"Okay! Do good deeds and accumulate virtue, but you can ensure the prosperity of your Shen family!" Luo Fan said, "Early tomorrow morning, I will also bother Mr. Shen to arrange a car to send us back!"
"It should be, it should be!" Shen Mingkun hurriedly said.
Before leaving the next day, Luo Fan explained again: "You must remember, you must do what Shen Gongzi has done for seven days, and don't let it go because the matter is solved! In that case, if there is anything else, I'm afraid no one can really help!"
"Thank you Mr. Luo, I will watch him personally!" Shen Mingkun said gratefully, and took a bag from his wife next to him, "This is my heart, Mr. Wangluo does not dislike it!"
Luo Fan nodded, glanced at Fat Dahai, and Fat Dahai stepped forward to take it with interest.
"Then let's go back!" Luo Fan finished speaking, turned around and got into the nanny car behind him, and Fat Dahai followed suit.
When he came, Shen Mingkun accompanied him, and there was a car of bodyguards.
Now when I go back, there is only one driver and a bodyguard to follow, and the two of them are polite along the way, Luo Fan closed his eyes and slept all the way, and the fat sea ate all the way.
In addition to the small bag that Shen Mingkun gave at the end, he also brought Luo Fan a lot of hometown specialties, chickens, ducks, fish, vegetables, melons and fruits.
When he arrived in Jiangcheng, just after noon, Feng Bugui had just come back from outside, and he saw the fat big fart walking towards this side with a lot of things in his arms, followed by two people, also holding a lot of things.
"Uncle Feng, if there are two more people, there are still a lot of things that can't be moved!" Fat Dahai smiled with sweat on his face.
"Are you back?" Feng Bugui asked, and by the way, he called two guys to go with them to get something.
"I'm back, oh! Mr. Luo said I'm tired and I'll go back first, let me bring you all these things!" Fat Dahai said, "I'll move things first, and I'll tell you when I come back later!"
Wenwan Street is a pedestrian street, vehicles are not allowed to drive in, and the nanny car that sends them back can only be parked at the outside street.
Luo Fan went back to the Wushi Pavilion first, and by the time Feng Bu arrived, he had already finished taking a shower and changed his clothes.
Simply told Feng Bugui about the Shen family, Feng Bugui was a little angry, "It's really bad for Yin Virtue!"
