Chapter 178, there is something strange

After being sad for a few days, Chen Xu was still reluctant to give up on Huanhuan, and in the morning, he went to Qingguang Mountain to visit Huanhuan. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Qingguang Mountain has a place called "Luoxia Slope", there is a field where camellia, Guanyin tea, jasmine tea, black tea, Pu'er tea are planted, here on the back of the mountain peaks that seem to be thousands of miles away, in front of a big pond, the local people call "Baojing Lake" has always been a treasure land of feng shui.

Because this place has a trickle of water that comes out of the ground all the time, the color is very transparent and bright, and it looks like a green jade belt in the small ditch, so this fast treasure land is also called "a cloth with water, and the lady wears jade", which is a very famous living place, and a place favored by rich and noble people.

Chen Xu buried Huanhuan's body here, looking from afar, the small cemetery is under the sunlight, glowing with white and vast colors, surrounded by a circle of green bricks, and Chen Xu found a tombstone for this cemetery is the famous "Tian Huangshi" Tian Huangshi is also known as Shoushan stone, these stones are warm and lovely, delicate and silky, fine texture, clear lines, "the country still needs beauty praise" Zitang This Tian Huangshi has become the king of ten thousand stones, favored by collectors, but in the remote mountain village area, But no one knew him.

Chen Xu put the chicken ribs and pig bones he bought from the market on the tombstone of Tianhuang Stone, and Huanhuan who likes the underground can enjoy his favorite food on weekdays. Chen Xu can no longer see him playing all day long, and these practices are actually just a comfort to his heart.

Chen Xu came into the mountain this time and brought the unicorn dog over, but he was afraid that someone would see this strange-looking puppy cub on the road and be afraid, so as to bring unnecessary trouble to himself, so he came up with an idea to put the unicorn dog in a sack with a small Confucius and hugged it.

At first, Chen Xu was very afraid of this unicorn, but in the past few days, Chen Xu found that this dog was not only not scary, but also very cute, a civet dog as obedient and understanding of human nature as Huanhuan, and his every move was particularly endearing.

Huanhuan gave birth to these nine puppies, and died, out of love and nostalgia for Huanhuan, Aunt Chen also thought that her family was indeed not a rich family, and there was some money on hand, and it was difficult to feed these nine puppies, so she distributed them to relatives and friends, the ancestral elders and Ah Fu, in the rural areas handed down an unspoken rule, "give people and cats to get fresh fish, send people and dogs to get pork chops", distributed to these relatives and friends, and people also sent gifts accordingly to show that the gifts are still exchanged.

But Chen Xu resolutely did not send the unicorn dog in front of him away, he gradually felt that Wan Jiaojiao called this dog "the king of kings among dogs" is right, until it is a little older, it may be verified.

The unicorn dog is very magical and intelligent, Chen Xu took it to Huanhuan's tomb, it seemed to have awareness, and made a whining sound in the cloth pocket, as if it was wailing, Chen Xu immediately put it on the ground.

"The sheep has the grace of kneeling and breastfeeding, and the crow has the feeling of feeding" The unicorn dog squatted on the ground, making a pilgrimage, and Chen Xu was also moved to tears at this moment.

"Brother Xu, it's not good" A voice came from the lychee jungle on the hillside, and groups of crows and pheasants that were pecking at fruit shells and aphids flew up in fright, it turned out to be Wan Jiaojiao.

Wan Jiaojiao is not making a fuss, although she is usually lively and active, she will not be startled, Chen Xu is very clear about this, and at this time, his heart is also fluttering, as if he can feel that something bad has happened.

"Jiaojiao, what's going on again, you go slower, don't roll down the hillside." But Wan Jiaojiao changed three steps to two steps, came to him, and as soon as the panting sound stopped, he immediately said: "Brother Xu, it's not good, our eldest family, the old uncle of the German generation, vomited blood at home this morning, his body was overdrawn, and he died after ineffective treatment, I just went to your house, and my aunt told me that you were here, so I hurried over and came here to tell you these things." ”

With a "boom", Chen Xu's mind suddenly went blank, and tears flowed across his face, and he said: "God, what's wrong with our relatives of the big clan, something has never happened, why in just one month, our uncle has died ten people in a row, isn't there anything strange about this." ”

"Brother Xu, don't worry too much, it may be that the uncles and elders of our clan are all old, plus the weather has dropped recently, capricious, and people have said that "the weather is suddenly cold and hot, and the old man's life is taken." Birth, old age, sickness and death are inevitable, maybe these are all providence. ”

"No, Wan Jiaojiao, listen to me, things are definitely not as simple as you think, ten people from our uncles and clansmen died in a month, not to mention that the number has never been there, let's think about the uncles and elders before they died, they were all swollen, their faces were yellow, there was no blood, the food was choked at the mouth, the chest was like pressing a big stone, and they often screamed at night, sometimes they vomited up and down, and even vomited blood, which is not a disease of dysentery, It's not a miasma, and it's not a seizure, but they're all in the same condition, don't you think it's strange? ”

"It's still a little strange to think about it, but Brother Xu, the people who passed away are all the elders of our big clan, if there is really something mysterious happening, why can the young men and beautiful girls in our big clan be safe and sound, I still think you think too much, maybe they are all the same, can it be that our big clan has a family hereditary disease, do you remember, our grandfather's generation also appeared in the big clan, more than a dozen people in the big clan are deaf and mute."

"That's right, I heard my mother say that there is such a thing, but our ancestors didn't have a miracle doctor later, he was a high mountain, and his medical skills were even more exquisite, he practiced medicine in Qingpu Village, and his reputation was even heard of by Emperor Jiaqing in the capital, and he wanted to invite him to be the imperial doctor in the palace was rejected by him, and he took root in the countryside to practice medicine and accumulate virtue and goodness, and then all the people in the clan who had physical diseases were diagnosed and cured by him."

Wan Jiaojiao shook her head like a brush sifting chaff, and sighed again and again, "If only our old uncle of the ancestral generation was still alive, with his unrivaled medical skills, maybe he could delay the illness of these relatives and let their bodies and bones recover." ”

Just as he was sighing, Chen Xu raised his head to look at the abandoned small shack standing in the sun on the side, and walked out of several people wearing wide-sleeved robes and wearing a grass ring made of wormwood on their heads, some were beating gongs and drums, some were blowing trumpets with their mouths crooked, and some were singing funeral songs.

"Brother Xu, when I was flustered and sad just now, I forgot an important thing, after the death of our clan uncle, his family's uncles and uncles are ready to bury him in this green mountain, between the peaks of birds and flowers, and now the people of the big clan are spending money to hire Mr. Di Shi from Shuihao Village to come here to inspect the feng shui and geographical location."

The unicorn dog beside Chen Xu seemed to have seen some clues at this time, only to see it jump on the granite on the edge of the Huanhuan cemetery, and roared loudly, and the sound even frightened the crows flying in the sky.

Chen Xu was startled, he didn't want people to find out that there was such a strange creature beside him, so he hurriedly pulled a cloth bag from the miscanthus mountain next to him and put it in, but the people on the hillside who were sad and covered with cheeks didn't seem to notice any strange sound at all, maybe some clansmen in the front row were crying sadly.

According to the rules of Pu'an County, the day before the death of the elderly in the family, the eldest son brought the relatives in the family, each took off their socks, and on the way to the place where the deceased was about to be buried, he held a flag and wept bitterly, calling the names of his relatives.

The elders of Chen Xu's clan died, his sons wore linen and filial piety, wore straw hats made of jute on their heads, and a white cloth circle was attached to their arms, and the women of the clan cried bitterly, making people cry, which is also true, when the old man died, his body and mind were greatly damaged, and his daughter-in-law and son stood beside him, serving soup and medicine, hoping that the condition would improve, but in a blink of an eye, it was about to become a barren mound and dry bones, and an underground yellow spring, which made people not sad, Chen Xu could not suppress the sadness and loss in his heart. Frequently wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, tore off a corner of his coat pocket, put it on his hand, and walked over to participate in this soul-attracting ceremony.

Wan Jiaojiao, as a woman of the big clan, also cried, and the earth master who held Luo Geng in both hands was meticulous, and he looked at the brilliance of the sun in the sky, looking at the movement of Luo Geng in his hand, the two pointers on Luo Geng reflected in his pupils, his mouth read silently, and he quietly made estimates in his heart.

The burial place of the deceased is called the Yin House, as the name suggests, it is the residence of the deceased in the underworld, and the Feng Shui Sutra also says that after death, people will be born alive in the underworld, and the vitality will be dispersed with the wind of nature, and it will stagnate with the flow of water.

In the ancient medieval Feng Shui masters, there was a very famous Feng Shui master, a lifetime of erudition, mysterious, in Sichuan Kuang Mountain founded the Feng Shui in the situation sect, the situation sect is generally focused on the surrounding scenery of the feng shui cemetery and the direction of the mountain, the direction of water flow, vegetation coverage, during the period also combined with the Taoist number, the stars in the sky, the position above the ground, the change of the hour, the vitality of the yin power, the gossip formation, in the end are in order to achieve the unity of heaven and man, the realm of yin and yang balance, So it has a high reputation among the people.

The death of the elders of the big clan, the elders of the clan invited this master of Shuihao Village, the art he learned is a branch of the situation sect of Kuangshan, Sichuan, looking at the old gentleman wearing gossip clothes, carrying a portrait of the head of the sect with the opening of the sect on his shoulder, holding a fairy whisk in his left hand, his demeanor is very respectful, the Yin Tang is straight out of the blue light, there are two power marks on the side of the mouth, which can be seen from a long distance, and at a glance he knows that his spiritual power is extraordinary, and he is a Taoist priest with a lot of fairy wind bones.

The earth master with a pleasant expression and bright eyes slowly stopped from a mountain full of coffin flowers, leaned against a green olive tree next to him, pointed to this place, and said to the employer behind him: "I think this place is an excellent feng shui tomb, and it is a good place for your ancestors to be buried here." ”

The son of the deceased said: "Sir, you have to see clearly, the place you are pointing to is full of coffin flowers, I have lived for more than forty years, I have always heard from others, the tombs of the ancestors are chosen in the place where the terrain is gentle, the water is pulsating, the surrounding plants are not hard plants, it is best to have some small flowers and grass, this side is full of coffin flowers, as soon as I hear the name, I feel unlucky, Mr. can you bother to think more carefully before drawing conclusions." ”

The earth master said, "Do you know what this coffin flower is, how it came about, and what it can be used for?" ”

Everyone shook their heads, saying that they didn't know, and Chen Xu also thought in his heart, "Is the coffin flower a coffin flower, and what else can be explained, I really can't figure it out." ”

The earth master said unhurriedly, "You villagers in Pu'an County think that this is a flower of evil spirit, symbolizing bad luck and bad luck, in fact, on the contrary, the coffin is a plant that has both external beauty and internal beauty in the world, do you know that some local farmers, woodcutters, and sheep herders are in the mountains and jungles, or farming or chopping firewood, or grazing livestock, often have some poison on their bodies, and then the shoulders on their bodies become itchy and extremely uncomfortable, in fact, they are actually poisoned by some poisonous snakes, The poisonous toad licked the leaves, flowers and plants, or the poisonous centipede crawling out of the grave of the dead, the poisonous dung beetle, the poisonous insect parasitic on the bones of the dead man, will produce uncomfortable symptoms, you may know that the coffin flower that you see as a bad thing is cut off with a sickle and taken home to boil it into hot water and soak it in a bath for half an hour, the pain or itching on the body will disappear, in my opinion, it is really a beneficial flower, why not bury the tomb of the ancestors here. ”

Speaking of which, Chen Xu remembered that he was ignorant when he was a child, and always liked to run to the mountains and jungles to climb seven or eight meters high mango trees to pick fruits after school. “

Chen Xu gradually felt that the earth master in front of him was not a simple person, but he still had some doubts in his heart, and hurriedly asked: "Sir, I know that coffin flowers have these benefits, but I don't know that people regard these plants as bad things, and they can't let the graves of their ancestors be buried here." ”

The earth master smiled and said: "You young man asked a good question, this is also what I want to explain to you, everyone knows that there are some small pimples with sharp points all around the coffin flower, once it is accidentally touched, there are always some parts of the body that are cut a small opening, and if the cattle and sheep accidentally eat these things, the lips and tongue will be stabbed, so do you think people can still like these vegetation, but these vegetation must be regarded as unlucky things, and over time there is a name called coffin flower." ”

"So that's the case, Mr. Okay reminded us, we have only now understood that the coffin flower has such a origin, which is really unexpected." Said a young man around.

The earth master also said: "People call this flower coffin flower, it is not the result of all subjective imagination, I also forgot to tell you a fact, in fact, this flower is also the "national flower" of the netherworld, just as we Chinese have their own national flower "plum blossom", the status of this coffin flower in the underworld is similar to the status of the "plum blossom" in the yang world, but its reputation is not as grand as in the underworld, and people's understanding of it is naturally insufficient. ”

"So that's the case, it seems that this earth master is still more material, according to what he said, although the name of the coffin flower is not good at all, but it is a legendary flower, not bad, not bad." Chen Xu muttered secretly.

The son of the deceased who stood up beside him, Chen Xu called him uncle, only to see him ask very respectfully: "Sir, the direction you have for your ancestor is a treasure of feng shui, can bless our future generations, good fortune, full of gold and jade, eternal life and wealth." ”

The earth master stirred his long sleeves, twisted them into a circle and knotted them at the wrist, walked over, and said to the light shining down from the sun: "Everyone, please see, the coffin flowers on this place are growing very well, the light of the sun, sufficient water, rich in nutrients, so they grow more lush and verdant than the plants in other places, and even the small flowers and grasses around them cannot grow here, it can be seen that this place belongs to the "pure land", the ancestors are buried in the pure land, and the descendants must be kind-hearted, simple and innocent, and have a good family style. Abide by the rules, and the local "Kanli" direction, there is a big tree, luxuriant like a cover, lush green, straight trunk, pillars of the material, future generations will be able to prosper, rich and noble, and you are looking, within 100 meters here, there are lychee trees around the period, can ensure that there is wind to the hole, the place is full of fertile soil, during the period is also mixed with silt and fine mud, at night the light of the moon shines down, pan with holy light, like gold, so this is a rare treasure land, in our "situation sect" view, It is a rare feng shui treasure. ”

Chen Xu has also read a lot of books on feng shui, and has been paying close attention to the words and deeds of this earth master from beginning to end, as well as observing the surrounding feng shui scenes, he looked up, only to see a round of brilliant and bright sun is shining in the center of this direction, but this direction is also an excellent place for the three sun, moon and stars to shine together, and here, as the earth master said, the direction of the exchange is under the Baojing Lake, and there are also rows of green mountains on the Gong direction, it is the wind, the light, the water and the mountains, the words of the earth master are not false, It is no wonder that their Sichuan Kuangshan Feng Shui situation sect can win the hearts of the people, and it is all reasonable.

The family of the deceased heard the explanation of the earth master, and their grief was also comforted a little, and they also said in turn: "Since Mr. has concluded that this is a treasure of feng shui, then the tomb of the deceased father chose here, and we are relieved to be our children, and it can be regarded as a filial piety to the deceased." ”

After everyone went down the mountain according to the local folk customs, there was only Wan Jiaojiao in front of them, Chen Xu and the earth master were still left on the mountain, Chen Xu was very impressed with this old gentleman, walked over, greeted him, and said: "The family members of the deceased have gone down the mountain along the mountain road, but why didn't Mr. go, could it be that there are still things that have not been dealt with here, and Mr. does not need my help." ”

The earth master smiled at Chen Xu and said: "I don't need your help, the reason why I stay here is that when I was inspecting the feng shui just now, I have been paying attention to you as a young man, seeing you for a while to bow your head and meditate, and then look around, frowning, muttering words in your mouth, you must be puzzled, I am here now, if you have any questions, just ask, we must have the purpose and concept of our own sect, and try to solve the doubts and difficulties of the relatives of the deceased." ”

Chen Xu said: "I do have doubts, this can be seen by Mr., Mr. is really a master of the world, it is really admirable." ”

"No, no, young man, you are too awarded, in the field of feng shui, it can be said that there are ten sects, including the Gan school, the Xingfa school, and the Luan head school. Min faction, Zongmiao faction, and law faction. Xingyi faction, spiritualist faction, each faction is a generation of talents, I am just one of the ordinary and simple members, only the ancients who wrote the "Green Capsule Continuation", "Liao Yu's Sixteen Funeral Sutras", "Yang Zaiqi Immortal Yang Gong Diamond Diamond Shape Funeral Diagram", "Yang Zhai Yuan Games Meeting" Famous works through the ages are truly worthy of being called a master of the world, I just rely on a skill in my hand and a warm-hearted heart to beg for a bowl of food. ”

"Sir, you really won the award, and you are also a real person who is not dewy, and the dew is not a real person, the more capable a person is, the more humble he is."

"It's a fallacy, but if you have any questions about this young man, maybe I can help you answer them, as for what a master is, there is no need to say that a real person."

Chen Xu said: "Sir, I just want to ask you, the elders in the ancestral hall of my clan have died more than a dozen people in less than two months, I always feel that there is a mystery in this matter, I boldly speculate that there may be evil ghosts, I wonder if Mr. can accompany me to the ancestral hall of my clan to take a look?" ”

"Actually, I am also a native of Pu'an County, from Shuihao Village in your neighboring village, just separated by a Peacock River, what you just said, I heard it a few days ago, I thought about it in private, and I also felt that there must be something strange during this period,
