Wang Tianhua and Wang Jinbao were talking, when they heard the "big guy branch" in the field shouting in a Peixian-flavored official dialect: "Next, I will ask the Taoist chief invited by the Li Mansion from Maoshan to do the work for Master Li." ”

Where have everyone seen this scene, their eyes widened to see the excitement, and Wang Tianhua stood on tiptoe in the crowd and stretched his neck to look inside.

I saw two middle-aged Taoist priests dressed in Taoist costumes that can only be seen in the play, walking into the field in an extremely exaggerated and pretentious manner, the two Taoist priests were tall and short, tall and thin, short and fat, thin white, and fat black.

Tall, thin white, short and fat black.

The two stood together in stark contrast.

"Hey! Uncle Wang, you see they are a natural pair. Wang Tianhua almost laughed out loud when he saw them like this.

There was also a faint laughter in the crowd, perhaps thinking that this was the Li family doing a funeral, it was too rude to laugh, and soon the crowd was quiet again, all watching what the two Taoist priests were going to do later?

The dust in the hand of the tall and thin Taoist priest waved violently, and I saw several people from the crowd carrying a tall offering table in front of the mourning hall, and another person hurriedly carrying a bench in front of the offering table.

This set of pomp and circumstance is done as if it had been rehearsed in advance.

"Uncle Wang, do you know what they're doing?" Wang Tianhua didn't expect Wang Jinbao to answer him, and he wasn't sure if Wang Jinbao knew.

It's just that he thought that Wang Jinbao could sense that the deceased might be transformed, although he didn't know if it was true or not, he must have been well-informed, so he still asked casually.

"They're crossing the bridge to lead the way!"

Hearing the answer Wang Tianhua was still a little surprised, he didn't expect Wang Jinbao to really know this, so Wang Tianhua couldn't help but look at Wang Jinbao, it was obvious that the middle-aged man in front of him must have some secrets.

And Wang Tianhua knew almost nothing about him, if he hadn't come to mourn today, maybe he would never have known that Wang Jinbao knew so many strange things.

"What is a bridge to guide the way?" Wang Tianhua retracted his thoughts and continued to ask.

"Crossing the bridge and guiding the way is a means for Taoists to appease the souls of the dead and surpass them." Wang Jinbao paused, as if sorting out how to answer this question in the language, "The function is similar to that of the monk chanting in the temple, but it is too dangerous to cross the bridge to guide the way and chant the scriptures." ”

"Dangerous?" Wang Tianhua was taken aback.

"That's right, if the bridge is successful, no matter how big the grievances of the deceased are, they will be resolved. However, if it fails, not only the deceased will not be able to rest in peace, but even the living who participated in the bridge will be implicated. Wang Jinbao explained.

"Shhhh

At this time, he was even more interested in Uncle Wang's identity, but he didn't expect that Uncle Wang, who showed his family the land, was usually not very conspicuous, and he knew so many strange things.

As the uncle and nephew were talking, they saw the short and fat Taoist priest suddenly leap forward, and a backflip landed steadily in front of the offering table two feet away.

Everyone exclaimed, and even Wang Jinbao secretly praised: "It seems that he has real skills!" ”

Wang Tianhua stared at the short and fat Taoist priest in surprise, and couldn't help but regret it in his heart: "I knew that I had practiced martial arts well at that time, and I guess I can be as chic as him when I practice today!" ”

I saw that after the short and fat Taoist chief stood still, he held a seven-star copper coin short sword strung with a yellow talisman, and set a move "Immortal Guiding the Way", and suddenly the yellow talisman burst onto the scene, and there was a burst of exclamations from the audience.

Humpty Dumpty Dao Chang did not pause, followed by a move of "the harrier turned over", and suddenly another move "looking back at the moon".

At the same time, I could only hear the words in my mouth, "Too high on the stage, the strain is non-stop, the evil spirit binds the charm, the life is protected, the wisdom is clear, the mind is peaceful, the three souls are permanent, the spirit is not lost, and the edict!" ”

After the incantation was recited, I saw the burning yellow talisman suddenly fly towards the tall and thin Dao Chief.

I don't know when there is a little boy standing next to the tall and thin Taoist, the little boy is standing on the bench, presumably this little boy is the guide to cross the bridge, but the tall and thin Taoist is holding a rosewood sword, which is indeed rare, in Wang Tianhua's impression that the Taoist priest should take a peach wood sword or a copper coin sword.

The tall and thin Taoist chief pinched the sword technique, took the burning yellow talisman and swiped it around the top of the little boy's head, and at the same time recited the mantra in his mouth: "Heaven and Earth Xuanzong, the root of ten thousand qi, the vast cultivation of ten thousand calamities, the proof of my supernatural powers, the golden light appears quickly, covering the prodigy." Haste as a law, edict! ”

After the spell was finished, I saw a burst of golden light flash above the little boy's head, I don't know if it was the color of the yellow charm or the real golden light, but everyone was solemn at this time.

Obviously, he was suppressed by the superb methods of these two Dao Masters, and he didn't dare to be disrespectful, just looking forward to what would happen next.

When the host saw this scene, he also felt that his face was bright, and he thought that he had really found the right person, and the money was not spent in vain.

After the flash of golden light, the little boy's eyes suddenly closed, and he staggered on a two-meter-long stool, although he walked very unsteadily, but no one thought that he would fall, because everyone felt like they were looking at a tumbler, although it was swaying, but the feet seemed to be rooted.

"If that kid can walk this way safely, the old man in this coffin won't be a corpse." Wang Jinbao suddenly whispered, as if talking to himself, and as if talking to Wang Tianhua.

Wang Tianhua glanced at Wang Jinbao and asked, "What if you can't finish walking?" ”

"The dead are uneasy, and the living are miserable!"

Wang Tianhua frowned after hearing this, and stared nervously at the little boy who was crossing the bridge to guide the way, for fear that something would happen to him.

The other villagers didn't know that there were so many theories about crossing the bridge to guide the way, but they just watched intently to see if there were any strange things happening in the field.

Just as the little boy was halfway to the bench, a big yellow dog shaped like a fat pig ran rampant into the center of the field and went straight to the little boy.

Seeing this, the tall and thin Taoist was shocked, and hurriedly picked up the red sandalwood sword in his hand and drew it towards the big yellow dog, but it was too late, and the big yellow dog knocked the little boy down with lightning speed.

The little boy was knocked to the ground all of a sudden, foaming at the mouth and twitching his hands and feet, and at this time, the two Taoist leaders invariably vomited a mouthful of blood, sat on the ground, and muttered nervously: "It's over!" Finished! ”

Because of the suddenness of the incident, everyone was in a hurry, some exclaimed, some stepped forward to help, and some gloated...

But all the ecosystems were stunned by another incident!

Complete one's misery!

Just when everyone was panicking, the spirit of the deceased suddenly burst into flames, sparks flew everywhere, and even injured a few villagers who were relatively close.

Seeing this, almost everyone shouted: "Haunted! Come on! ”

In the end, only Wang Jinbao, Wang Tianhua, and a few relatives of the main family and the two Taoist priests were left on the field.

The little boy who fell to the ground had already been carried out by the family to find Tulangzhong in the village.

Wang Tianhua was also frightened by this sudden change, and kept asking, "Uncle Wang, what's going on?" What's wrong? What's wrong? ”

Wang Jinbao comforted Wang Tianhua: "It's okay, don't be afraid, I can handle it." ”

Then hurriedly ran to the field, first picked up the slender Taoist, and pressed the chest of the tall and thin Taoist priest with the thumb of his right hand, and then pinched the unknown hand with his left hand, and recited the words in his mouth: "Heart Dan Yuan, let me pass the truth, think about the spirit of refining liquid, the Tao qi lasts forever, and the urgency is like a law, edict!" ”

After Wang Jinbao finished doing this, he saw the two Taoist leaders sitting on the spot, concentrating on luck, and after a while, he saw that they were sweating like a flood, and then turned into white mist and steamed.

Wang Tianhua saw it in his eyes, and his heart was full of surprise, thinking that there were such clever means in this world, and then thinking that Uncle Wang was not an idle person, and he didn't know why he was willing to stay in his own home and look at the fields bitterly.

"Uncle Wang, are you?" Wang Tianhua's face was full of doubts.

"Let's not talk about this, this family will be big. Troublesome! Wang Jinbao avoided Wang Tianhua's question and turned to the matter of the main family.

Wang Tianhua couldn't continue to ask, so he had to point to the coffin and ask, "This old man Li is going to change his body?" ”

"That's right!" Wang Jinbao nodded.

Although the voices of these two people were not loud, there were few people around at this time, so all the words they said were heard by the family.

The owner of the house asked tremblingly, "This master, what's wrong with our family?" How did I hear this little brother say that the old man of my family wants to be corpsed? ”

"Yes, let me tell you, my Uncle Wang said, your old man has already shown signs of corpse transformation, originally if this bridge led the way smoothly, the Kai family would be fine, but now that it is stirred up by that big yellow dog, you will be unlucky!" Wang Tianhua said.

"That's right, this so-called bridge guide is to find someone who is related to the deceased by blood or extremely close to the deceased through the secret technique to guide the deceased through the Nai He Bridge, in your eyes, the guide is just walking on an ordinary bench, but in fact, the guide is to guide the undead on the Nai He Bridge, so that the deceased can be reincarnated smoothly."

"If the little boy successfully completes this road, it means that your old man will not turn into a ghost or a corpse, but now that he has failed, your old man's corpse will have turned into a purple zombie, and the corpse will be transformed sooner or later." Wang Jinbao explained.

I saw that the owner of this house nodded silently, presumably the two Taoist masters had also told him these things before, so as soon as he heard Wang Jinbao say these things, he naturally glanced at Wang Jinbao, thinking that he also had real skills.

"So what now?"

"Now there is only one way, burn the body!" As soon as Wang Jinbao finished speaking, not only did the head of the Li family look at him with wide eyes, but even Wang Tianhua felt incredible.

At that time, the people of Peixian County felt that after death, the land should be completely put into the soil for peace, and "crushing bones and scattering ashes" was the most vicious oath here.

This Wang Jinbao actually said in front of the main family that he wanted the main family to burn the old man's body, which was unacceptable to the family at all.

So after hearing this, no one in the family spoke, only to see the master glancing at Wang Jinbao viciously, and his tone changed suddenly, not like the tone of pleading just now, and said: "Where did you come from, go quickly, and it will be later, don't blame me for being unkind!" ”

"Hey! How do you speak, anyway, my Uncle Wang also wants to help you! Wang Tianhua couldn't see it anymore and shouted.

Wang Jinbao saw that the two sides might be about to fight, so as not to do bad things with good intentions, so he hurriedly grabbed Wang Tianhua and walked out, and said in his mouth: "I'm sorry, I was abrupt!" ”

The two Taoist priests also helped, "That's right, your old man's body really needs to be burned, otherwise there will be endless troubles." ”

Apparently the family could not accept this result, so they were even more angry and drove them all away.

The two Taoist chiefs thanked Wang Jinbao and then went to the south, it seemed that they were going back to Zhenjiang, Wang Tianhua and the two pulled the mule cart and walked on the road in the village, at this time, the door of every house was closed, and there was not a single pedestrian on the road, obviously frightened by the changes that happened in the family, and everyone hid at home and did not dare to come out.

"Uncle Wang, do you think that old man is really a corpse?" Wang Tianhua asked.

"If you bury that old man directly, he will definitely be a corpse."

"Is there no other way but to burn it?"

"I can't help it." Wang Jinbao spread his hands and looked at Wang Tianhua helplessly.

Just when the two of them were talking, they heard another mule cart coming behind them, and when they looked back, it turned out to be the family who was doing the funeral.

I saw the man pulling the mule cart, and there was a coffin on the mule cart, obviously he wanted to bury the old man's body himself.

When he walked past Wang Tianhua and the two of them, he snorted coldly.

Wang Tianhua was about to go up to theorize, but Wang Jinbao grabbed him again and told him to calm down and not be impulsive.

After Wang Jinbao pulled Wang Tianhua aside, he whispered: "We will quietly follow him later and see where he buried his body?" ”

"Huh?" Wang Tianhua was surprised, "Uncle Wang, you are going to dig people's graves!" ”

"Silly boy! What graves to dig! Wang Jinbao couldn't help but laugh and said: "As long as the lord in this coffin enters the ground, the corpse will definitely change tonight, let's go and see where it is buried, and guard it there." Take him down at night! ”

"Take it?" Wang Tianhua said incredulously, "Uncle Wang, where did you learn this skill?" So powerful! ”

"I'll tell you about this. I'll open your eyes tonight. Wang Jinbao said in a hidden voice.

After speaking, Wang Jinbao asked Wang Tianhua to stuff a wooden stick into the mule's mouth, wrap the mule's hooves with cloth strips to prevent making a sound, and then the two of them followed carefully with a mule.

Rural graves are generally buried in their fields, a custom that is the same in most parts of the country.

But strangely enough, the family's grave is not in a field, but on a hill.

When it comes to small hills, they are actually slightly taller, larger mounds of earth that have been piled up by man.

Pei County is located in the North China Plain, and there are no natural high mountains in the territory, not even small hills. Many old people who have never left Pei County have never seen a real mountain in their lives.

Wang Tianhua and Wang Jinbao hid in the forest next to the small earthen bag, watching the man laboriously drag the coffin into the grave by a mule cart, and then laboriously fill in the grave.

After all this was done, the man symbolically knelt down and kowtowed, poured wine, and burned some paper money. Then the thief looked around, wondering if he noticed anything unusual, and hurried home in a mule cart.

"Uncle Wang, why did his family bury the grave here, why didn't he bury it in his own field?" Wang Tianhua didn't quite understand what their family was doing.

"Don't underestimate that little dirt bag, he's imitating the Imperial Tomb." Wang Jinbao snorted coldly, "Another greedy person!" ”

"Imitation of the Imperial Tomb? He wants to be emperor? Wang Tianhua was dumbfounded, he never expected that this rich man in the countryside would have such great ambitions.

"When the emperor is not to, but you can change your life against the sky, the imperial tomb is generally built next to the mountain, you see that there is a small river next to this hill, and it is located in the tuyere, there is wind and water, and the feng shui is excellent." Wang Jinbao explained.

"What? Is wind and water good for feng shui? Wang Tianhua frowned, very puzzled.

Although he doesn't know feng shui, he has heard some feng shui things from Mr. Private School, and probably knows that feng shui is a very sophisticated thing, and the connotation is very complex.

"Of course it's not that simple!"

"Oh! I'll just say, how can feng shui be just looking at the wind and looking at the water! Wang Tianhua smiled.

"In addition to the wind and water, you can see that the front of this hill is built facing the sun, and the moonlight can be picked at night."

Wang Jinbao continued, "This alone is not enough to say that it is an imitation of the imperial tomb, ordinary people can't suppress the dragon qi, so there must be four statues of divine beasts buried on the four sides of this small mountain bag, and the fierce name of the divine beast has suppressed the dragon qi." Based on my experience back then, I guess there is not only one coffin in this hill bag, but there should also be a coffin buried under this coffin! ”

"Ahh Wang Tianhua asked in surprise, "This... This... We don't have this custom either, do we? ”

"This has nothing to do with customs, there must be someone who pointed out and told the family that this is a coffin on top of the coffin, and the official is added to the official."

"Does this really work?" Wang Tianhua asked, "If it's really useful, I'll go home and tell my father, my family is doing the same!" ”

With a "snap", Wang Jinbao patted Wang Tianhua's head, "Silly boy, these are all some evil and crooked methods, although they have some effects, they can make the family rich in a short time." But blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, how can God let you take advantage of all the benefits, you see that this old man will be corpse is God's punishment for them, punish them for being too greedy! Wang Jinbao admonished.

"That's... Uncle Wang... What do we do now? ”

"In this moment, there will be no movement of the corpse, let's go home and tell your father about the matter first. I guess your mother shouldn't let you come out with me at night, so you can stay at home. ”

"What!" As soon as Wang Tianhua heard this, he immediately exploded, and finally waited for an opportunity to hunt for curiosity, how could he just let it go! "I don't! Uncle Wang, why don't we tell my father and mother, let's stay here for one night and go back tomorrow? ”

"This definitely won't work, if we don't go back today, your father and mother will definitely be in a hurry, your family is your only seedling, if you don't believe it, they won't die in a hurry!" Wang Jinbao said, "You have to go back first anyway!" ”

"Ahh Wang Tianhua looked at Wang Jinbao aggrievedly, "Uncle Wang, I know you are the best for me..."

Wang Jinbao was most afraid of seeing Wang Tianhua's pitiful appearance, so he immediately stopped, "You can pull it down!" Less for me! Well, I'll tell your dad in the evening, your dad knows what I'm capable of, and he should agree! ”

"Okay!" When Wang Tianhua heard this, he was overjoyed!
