2 Chapter 53 Digging the Grave and Burning the Coffin
In the early morning night sky, the dark clouds gradually receded, and a few remnant stars loomed around the bright moon in the west, and the earth was hazy.
The mountain wind in the cold night rustled the trees, Shi Yijian yawned, told the fat man to put away the rope, and after the things returned to their original places, he lay comfortably in a weed pile with his back against the wind outlet, squinted his eyes and went to play chess with Zhou Gong.
In a daze, I could only hear someone talking around me.
Shi Yijian opened a gap slightly, and saw that the person who came was Zhou Ziyang, so he rubbed his eyes and said hello: "Brother Yang, morning." ”
"Morning, come, get up and have some breakfast." After that, Zhou Ziyang suddenly found the injury on Shi Yijian's hand, and asked with concern: "Brother, what's the matter with your hand?" ”
Shi Yijian was afraid that he would cause a misunderstanding by going down the well without permission last night, so he said that he accidentally tripped over a stone on the mountain and fell.
After Zhou Ziyang heard this, he ordered someone to go down the mountain to find some Yunnan Baiyao and gauze to come over and re-bandage Shi Yijian's wounds.
Shi Yijian stood up and stretched, and sat down next to the fat man to eat breakfast.
He picked up a shrimp dumpling, swallowed it in his stomach, and watched Zhou Ziyang also sit over, so he casually found a topic: "Brother Yang, I see that you have been busy these days, isn't this real estate invested with other bosses, why don't you see them coming over to inspect?" ”
Zhou Ziyang squatted on the ground and smiled: "If this real estate is not completed in one day, none of those big bosses will be able to stop." Besides, digging out the coffin in the construction site, these things can be big or small, the key is to look at the leaders above, and I happen to have this relationship with you, so I will avoid the days of drunkenness and dreaming of death every day. ”
Just after Shi Yijian and the fat man ate the last bite of breakfast into their stomachs, Uncle Fan went up the mountain with a cigarette in his mouth. Shi Yijian put aside Zhou Ziyang, ran over and whispered a general account of what happened last night.
"Uncle Fan, you are an expert in Feng Shui, how should you deal with this matter?"
Uncle Fan said as he walked: "I pondered last night, that well should be a Shenglong Well, but the wellhead has collapsed, so you can go down to see what is going on." ”
As he spoke, he walked briskly to the edge of the well, and looked inside: "Is there anything strange in the coffin?" ”
Shi Yijian shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.
At this time, Zhou Ziyang also rushed over and said to the two: "Since everyone is here, brother, I will leave the rest to you." ”
Shi Yijian glanced at Uncle Fan: "Since this is the case, let's go down first to see the situation and then make plans." ”
So, Shi Yijian took the lead in going down to the tomb, and while the others were going down the well, he pocketed a small pile of dried snake bones in the corner for future offerings.
came down together, including Uncle Fan, supervisor Ah Guang, and Zhou Ziyang. The four of them wore hood lamps, illuminating the narrow space.
Uncle Fan looked around, and then he had some confidence: "The so-called locked dragon well you said before, now it seems that this is actually a rising dragon well, but it was forcibly changed to a locked dragon well." ”
Saying that, he continued: "This tomb is empty, there is not even a burial item, it should have been looted, and the murals on the wall have also been deliberately destroyed. Also, you see, the iron chains in the coffin, wrapped around the coffin, were nailed to the ground, the iron chains imprisoned the dragon, and the trapped dragon ascended to heaven, so it is strange that there is no resentment. ”
Zhou Ziyang complimented: "Mr. Zhang is really a master in the feng shui world, he can see through the layout of his predecessors at a glance, which is amazing." ”
Uncle Fan shook his head and smiled: "Boss Zhou has won the award, compared to the predecessors of the ancients, I am just a beginner elementary school student." ”
After that, he didn't forget to take out his mobile phone and make an analogy: "Just like this mobile phone, although I know the functions on the screen at a glance, but if I want to combine its various parts to become a mobile phone that can make calls, it can only be a dry stare." The real feng shui masters all know astronomy and geography, know the yin and yang gossip, the five elements transformation technique, and can even change their lives against the sky. And I'm just an indecent elementary school student who can understand screen operations. ”
Shi Yijian also thought so: "Uncle Fan, then according to what you see, what should be done with this coffin?" ”
"Since the coffin here has been moved, I think it is better to ask the workers to chisel the hole wide, pull the coffin out and burn it, so as to save trouble and trouble." Uncle Fan pondered for a while, and then said: "But before that, we have to dig out the remaining six coffins, cut off their hands and feet, and cut off their ground qi to prevent accidents." ”
When everyone returned to the valley, Uncle Fan took out a piece of white paper, compared it with a bird's-eye view of the satellite, and made a simple compass with a pair of disposable chopsticks according to the scale. With the valley as the center, the three coffins were used as the starting point, and then a circle was drawn on the drawing, and then the twenty-eight constellation compasses that had been prepared were taken out, and the directions of the prison ox, the jair, the mocking wind, the pu prison, the cunning, the sage, the sting, and the mantis were marked one by one.
After reading it and making sure that it was correct, Uncle Fan handed over the drawn drawings to Zhou Ziyang and said: "Boss Zhou, this is the approximate location of the remaining six coffins, you find some workers who are familiar with the drawings, and let them dig them out quickly during the day, it may be unpredictable later." ”
Zhou Ziyang looked at the time displayed on his watch, it was still early, and then ordered the supervisor Ah Guang to mobilize all the workers, pay three times the salary, and start work quickly.
Shi Yijian and others sat under the pergola of the construction site to rest, looking at the construction site full of people and the roar of machinery, he flicked the cigarette ash on his hand, and said to Zhou Ziyang: "Brother Yang, at this rate, it is estimated that it should be finished before ten o'clock in the evening, we have never really drunk since we met, why don't you let me be the east tonight, reminisce about the old days, and find out the bottom of it, how about it?" ”
Zhou Ziyang laughed: "Okay, but I have to say it first, you can pick the place, and I will give the wine money, otherwise, I am not so easy to invite." ”
Shi Yijian was not polite, and then said: "No problem, who called you a big boss, in front of you, I don't dare to show my wealth." ”
As the day began to slope to the west, under the pergola, several coffins were already placed in front of them one after another.
Shi Yijian instructed the fat man to let the workers who had come into contact with the coffin drink the soup made on the spot to ward off evil spirits and righteous qi to prevent them from entering the body and showing signs of vomiting and fever.
As night fell, the last coffin was already in front of their eyes.
After Shi Yijian pasted the rune paper in turn and covered it with canvas, he asked the overseer Ah Guang to select a few honest and reliable workers to stay in charge of guarding, and the rest of the people returned to the valley.
As the hole in the well had been cut wide, this time the fat man also entered the tomb.
Shi Yijian took out an ink fountain mixed with cinnabar, and joined forces with the fat man to flick the big coffin up and down, left and right.
After this was done, the workers cut the iron cables, tied the coffin, dragged it with the tow, and with the help of mechanical pulleys, hoisted the coffin from the bottom of the well.
Several workers lowered the coffin into the flat ground full of wood, and the fat man himself poured two cans of gasoline into the coffin, lit a pile of hay, and threw it away. Then I saw the fire in the coffin, and in an instant, the shadows of everyone hidden in the night were illuminated very high.
Shi Yijian listened to the crackling sound of wood in the fire, and suddenly his eyes jumped. With an innate psychic physique, he saw a trace of cold aura wafting from the cracked coffin in the firelight, and then there was a smell of burnt bacon.
Shi Yijian's heart sank, and he immediately asked everyone to retreat to the top of the valley, and he took out the ghost-eyed Buddha shrine, held it in his hand, and waited for it.
Looking at the somewhat dim firelight, Shi Yijian immediately ordered the fat man to throw all the gasoline into the fire, and with the help of the fire, let the contents of the fire crush the bones and scatter ashes.
As the raging fire burned the coffin to ashes little by little, Shi Yijian was relieved.
Putting away the Ghost Eye Buddha Shrine, he looked at the time, it was already early in the morning. So he walked to Zhou Ziyang's side and explained: "Brother Yang, I see that there is basically nothing to do here, tomorrow you can ask someone to fill this well, it will be bad if someone falls." ”
"Okay, everything will be yours."
After hesitating for a while, Shi Yijian continued: "It's a little late now, or let's drink this wine tomorrow." ”
"Eh, it's just the right time, I'll go and set a place first, and I'll wait for you if I don't get drunk tonight." After saying that, Zhou Ziyang waved his hand, leaving two workers to help Shi Yijian finish, and he led the others down the mountain first.
Shi Yijian smiled helplessly, looked at the pile full of sparks, and regardless of the heat wave, he took the lead in rolling up his sleeves, picking out the human bones inside with a branch, and then splashed the sparks with soil to prevent the fire from rekindling.
Shi Yijian touched the bones placed on the side with his hand, and after making sure that it had cooled down, he tore off a piece of yellow cloth from the altar and wrapped all the remaining bones together. Then he dug a large pit next to a large tree and buried the unknown bones.
Although the corpse in the coffin has already undergone a mutation, the deceased is gone, and it must be buried in the ground.
Shi Yijian lit incense and candles, burned some paper money, and after kowtowing a few times, he sat next to the grave and smoked and chatted with the fat man and the two workers. Seeing that the incense had been completely burned, everyone got up and left.
Afterwards, Shi Yijian also gave them 200 yuan for hard work.
According to the address sent by Zhou Ziyang, the fat man drove directly to the door of a nightclub.
Zhou Ziyang saw that the person had come, and hurriedly greeted him. After sitting down, Zhou Ziyang put his arm around Shi Yijian's shoulders and said enthusiastically: "It's just right time for supper now, and I've already ordered someone to order something outside." I've worked hard for you these past few days, come, let's have a drink to moisten our throats first, and then we will have a lot of fun. With that, he raised a glass of beer and clinked glasses with the two of them.
The first time Shi Yijian came to this kind of bright place, he was inevitably a little uncomfortable. But looking at the way the fat man sang and danced, he had no choice but to settle down.
Shi Yijian glanced at the huge room and saw no trace of Uncle Fan, so he asked, "Eh, Brother Yang, where is my Uncle Fan?" ”
"Master Zhang said that he was unwell and went back first, I didn't dare to force it, so I asked the driver to send him first."
Shi Yijian nodded, knowing that Uncle Fan had always disliked being lively, so he didn't ask much.
At this time, the door was pushed open, and a few little girls who accompanied the wine walked in from the outside. Zhou Ziyang immediately said: "Come, pick someone to drink with you, tonight is what you said, if you don't get drunk, you won't return." ”
Just when Shi Yijian was in a cowardly posture and his face was red, the fat man was already hugging left and right, sitting on the side and guessing wine and fists.
