"What the hell is this weather! I was scared to death just now, and now there is nothing to do. Sun Changbin touched his head, still looking palpitating.

I smiled and said to him, "It's okay, the good omen of the big thunder just now is a good thing!" Go on, keep having people bring those cypress planks up. ”

"Okay! No problem! Sun Changbin responded, and hurriedly beckoned people to continue to move the cypress planks.

"Let's cut down these small trees next to me first." I said to the two people of the Zhou family.

After the thunderstorm just now, this ten-square-meter area has become a mess. The original few small trees had fallen to the ground.

"Up!"

"Up!!"

"!!"

There was a neat shouting from the bottom of the mountain.

This is the trumpet given by the coffin bearer.

The coffin is actually not heavy, but it has to be climbed, and it is an eight-person bar, so it is not so easy to lift.

"Uncle Qiu. Please look at it here, Zhong Linlin and I will go down and take a look. I said to Uncle Qiu.

Uncle Qiu responded: "Go ahead!" ”

I called Zhong Linlin and walked down the mountain.

After walking for a while, I saw a group of people hula hula huhuing the coffin and walking up.

"Up!"

In the shouting of the coffin bearer. Zhong Yuan half-squatted on the coffin, looking around.

Seeing Zhong Yuan's appearance, I couldn't help but smile.

Although this squatting coffin was carried by someone, it was not an easy task. He had to see the way, show the way, and keep an eye on everything around him.

"Filial son go! Go ahead! Go to the front!! Du Chao and the filial son walked together, Du Chao greeted the filial son of the Zhou family.

When the filial sons of the Zhou family heard this, they hurriedly climbed up the mountain, and after walking for a while, they immediately turned around and knelt down to wait for the coffin.

The coffin was almost after they knelt down. They got up again and went to the front and knelt down and waited.

"No problem, let's go! Let's go back and wait! I said to Zhong Linlin.

Zhong Yuan can handle this matter of carrying the coffin up the mountain.

After returning to the location of the cemetery and waiting for about half an hour, the coffin came up.

"Mr. Tang! Look there is a coffin!? Du Chao came over to me and asked.

I looked around and pointed him to a spot.

Du Chao hurriedly asked people to let go of the bench.

After the coffin was placed, Tuesday walked up to me quickly and asked me, "Mr. Tang, why did the weather suddenly become so strange just now!" It's just scary. ”

Before I could answer him, Sun Changbin, who was standing beside me, answered: "Brother, don't worry. As Mr. Tang said just now, that is a good omen and a good thing. This proves that your old people have chosen the right place! ”

I laughed a little when I heard his words.

Then seeing Tuesday Wa looking at me, I quickly nodded: "That's right, I said this, and it is indeed a good omen." ”

When the baby heard this, she breathed a sigh of relief, and then thanked me repeatedly.

I reassured him a few more times before walking over to Tu Lao.

Tu Lao is old, even if he is carried by people all the way, but he is still out of breath after walking up.

"Are you alright? Figure old? I hurried over to him and asked.

"Old! It's useless! Tu Lao coughed and waved at me.

"Hard! Thank you! I rubbed his back a few times, secretly channeling some phase qi into his body to help him soothe it.

"Thank you! Thank you, Mr. Don Jr.! "With the help of my phase qi. He quickly regained his strength.

"Tu Lao, you're polite, I have to ask for your help next." I said.

Tu Lao nodded.

The strips that need to be used have already been picked up for help.

He instructed the people to remove the current rope and dragon rod from the coffin, and then began to tie the coffin with strips.

"Zhong Yuan, I have your help digging the grave pit!" I said to Zhong Yuan.

Zhong Yuan looked at me with some surprise: "What? Am I tired enough? Do you want me to dig a grave? ”

"I can't help it! Look at the location. The nine-meter-nine deep pit, if they are allowed to dig it, when will they have to dig it! I said helplessly.

Indeed, the land was full of those crushed rock blocks. It's not easy to use a hoe, you have to use a pickaxe. If you let the people from the Zhou family come over to help dig it, then you can't dig it until the day after tomorrow.

"Hey...... You! You'll really find something to do for me! Zhong Yuan walked over and took a look and sighed.

"Brother, are you going to find something for me to do or am I going to find something for you to do?" I glanced at him and whispered in his ear.

Zhong Yuan heard me. He pouted: "Okay!" I'm digging! ”

Then he took out a gourd from behind his waist, took a long sip of wine, and then took out a charm and began to recite the incantation.

After a while, he slapped the charm in his hand on the ground and let out a low shout: "Loosening Spell, Pro!" ”

And then all of a sudden, the rune paper burst into flames.

When the paper burned out, he took a pickaxe and dug along the line I had drawn.

He didn't dig in the middle, he dug along the line I had drawn.

When the pickaxe in his hand fell, the broken rocks that had been strong turned soft like tofu. As soon as I went down, I dug so deep.

The onlookers next to them were shocked when they saw this.

After digging around, he threw the manuscript away. shouted to the people of the Zhou family: "Okay! Now it's your turn, you can dig with a hoe! ”

"That...... Master, can we dig it? Someone asked questioningly.

"Dig and dig! Wouldn't you like to try it? Zhong Yuan gave the speaker an angry look, then clapped his hands and stood aside.

When the man next to him heard his words, he picked up his hoe and walked over.

As soon as he went down with a hoe, he dug so deep that within the circle that Nakahara had dug, all the broken rocks became as soft as tofu.

"It's amazing!" The man with the hoe was surprised and tried a few more hoes.

Then he tried to dig into the area outside the circle with a hard hoe. But this time. Just listening to the sound of "dang", the sparks all rose. He almost missed the hoe.

"What are you digging next to? Just dig up the soil in the circle I dug up! Seeing this, Zhong Yuan shouted dissatisfiedly.

When the man heard this, he smiled wryly. Then he quickly retracted the hoe and continued to dig into the range that Zhong Yuan circled.

"Come on! I'll try! The other people next to him saw that he was digging very easily, and they also walked over curiously to ask for a hoe.

"I can't believe it, it's so easy to dig, it's like tofu."

"Really, uh! If you keep digging like this, let alone nine meters nine, it's ninety-nine meters, that's a trivial matter! ”

……

Several people next to me tried it with skepticism. After the trial, they all shouted in surprise.

The matter of the grave is basically fine.

I'll hurry up and take a look at Tu Lao's side.

I saw that he had already asked people to take off the rope and dragon pole tied to the coffin.

"Mr. Xiao Tang, it's tied up, right?" Before starting to tie the coffin. He asked me.

"Yes!" I nodded.

When he heard this, he asked someone to bring over a cypress plank, and then instructed someone to place the coffin on the cypress plank.

After placing it, he began to tie the coffin diagonally with a strip.

A four-meter-eight strip. In his hands, it was like wool and soft, crossed back and forth. Every time he crosses, he is measured, and it looks like he is weaving a bamboo basket, strict and solid. neatly organized.

This is really a technical job, and those who don't understand it really don't know how to get started.

In more than two hours, all the 108 4.8-meter-tall strips were used up. At this time, the coffin looks as if it is wearing a bamboo coat on the outside. Because each strip is tightly fitted, and there are beautiful lines crossed.

The most amazing thing is that every time he finishes using a strip, he will use the next one to connect it, and the interface is very particular, all on the edge of the coffin, which looks like a circle of flowers.

"Mr. Xiao Tang, fortunately, I am not dishonored, the old work is done, you can see how it is!" Tu Lao wiped his sweat and said to me.

I immediately gave him a thumbs up: "You're polite, I don't think anyone can do such a beautiful job except you!" ”

"Hehe, offer ugliness. Ugly! Tu Lao said that he was ugly, but it was not difficult to see from his expression that he was quite satisfied.

After he finished speaking, he suddenly slapped his head and said, "Oh, yes! I almost forgot, my work is over, and I asked Mr. Xiao Tang to give longevity! ”

Coffin, also called Shoucai.

Give longevity to longevity? What does it mean?

I looked at Du Chao next to me.

I don't know much about fasting rituals. Is this one of the processes?

When Du Chao saw me looking at him, he hurriedly said: "Mr. Tang, it's like this, the longevity character left by Tu Lao on the coffin has to be filled in with cinnabar ink!" ”

Yes? Did the figure leave a word on the coffin?

Shou word?

Where is the word longevity?

Du Chao took out the cinnabar ink from his bag, handed it to me, and then walked to the coffin and stretched out his fingers.

I looked where he was pointing, and my eyes widened in surprise.

It turned out that on the left and right sides of the coffin, when Tu Lao was weaving with the strips, he used the staggered up and down of the strips to make up a big longevity character.

Just because the color of the strips is the same, if you don't pay attention to it, you really can't see that there is a longevity word there.

Terrible! That's amazing!

Not only will the coffin be dressed in a tight and beautiful bamboo coat with strips, but also leave words. It's a beautiful job.

I took the cinnabar ink in Du Chao's hand and traced it on the strip with a pen.

After I finished drawing with cinnabar ink, the bright red character for longevity was clearly revealed.

Beauty!

This longevity character is neat and neat, and it looks very beautiful.

"Tu Lao! You're really amazing! "After tracing the longevity characters on both sides, I gave a thumbs up to Tu Lao again.

After the people of the Zhou family saw it, they also hurried over to kowtow to Tu Lao and thanked him repeatedly.

I have to say that it is really the luck of the Zhou family to be able to find Tu Lao to come and tie the coffin.

The coffin is tied, and the next step is to wait for the grave to be dug and the burial will be carried out.
