Chapter 1: Slapping the coffin
The daughter of Meng Qin, the richest man in my village, died suddenly not long ago.
Because my grandfather was a well-known feng shui master, Meng Tan asked my grandfather to find a piece of feng shui treasure for his daughter to bury his palm pearl.
Grandpa's relationship with the Meng family is not bad.
Naturally, there was no excuse.
Grandpa took me to find a feng shui treasure place to bury Meng Xiyao.
We almost ran all the surrounding mountains and ravines, all the way to the dragon and the hole, only to find a piece of feng shui treasure in Qinghu Mountain.
The dragon here is impartial, undulating and spreading, the pulse is stopped, and the yin and yang are harmonized.
Shashui, Mingtang, Jinxi, Yuanchao, Qinglong, Baihu, etc. are all in the same situation.
There is a degree of separation, there is affection for gathering and dispersing, and there is a law to the back!
Grandpa even said to me unabashedly: "Qingyu, this is a good place." ”
But I was deeply disdainful.
replied: "Why don't you keep the good land for yourself?" ”
Grandpa listened and sighed: "Do you think that your grandpa found a good place and didn't want to keep it for himself, but there are taboos in each line......"
"What are the taboos in our business?"
"The biggest taboo in our profession is not to be selfish, otherwise we will be damned."
Grandpa said to me seriously.
Seeing that he said so seriously, I didn't dare to refute anymore: "Okay. ”
He got off the compass according to the direction of Lailongshuikou and other directions, and then set the direction of the sitting.
Then, according to the deceased's birth date and immortal destiny, he chose the day class for the burial and returned to Meng's house to discuss the burial.
Before I could enter the house, my grandfather took out the red cloth that he had prepared and hung it around me.
There is a saying in Feng Shui that red represents yang energy and restrains yin energy.
Because the owner of the tomb who is going to be sent up the mountain today belongs to the wrongful death who was violently killed.
The funeral scriptures say that when such a person dies, he has a resentment in his body, and if he does not suppress the resentment, it will bring unexpected disasters to people.
The feng shui master is the person who has the closest contact with resentment, and the red cloth is worn on the body to prevent the folding of yang longevity.
Turning to look at the big red coffin in the courtyard, he was stunned for a moment.
I, who was standing next to me, couldn't help but gasp.
According to the local customs of our county, black coffins will be used for general funerals, white coffins will be used if they are minors or accidental deaths, and red coffins are only used for happy funerals.
Meng Xiyao died accidentally, no matter how you say it, she must be buried in a white coffin.
But take a red coffin that can only be used for funerals to bury.
And looking at the style of the coffin, it seems that a coffin is also installed, which is equivalent to a thick burial.
For the coffin bearer, he must be scolding his mother in his heart.
The weight of the red coffin and the coffin has more than doubled, almost more than 400 catties, and carrying more than 400 catties of things over the mountains and mountains is a great challenge for these eight coffin bearers.
But fortunately, each of them is tall and big, and the family is waiting for money, and they can earn thousands of dollars a day after hard work, which is not a loss.
Generally at the time of relocation.
Ten people need to be equipped, a feng shui master, a handyman and eight coffin bearers, and these ten people must cooperate with each other, and each person who has died in vain has a grudge in his body, so he must be sent to the cemetery before dark.
Because according to the funeral scriptures, once the sun sets and the yang energy slowly dissipates, the resentment will rush out, which is something that mortals cannot resist.
In order to save their lives, everyone will hurry up and send the dead tomb owners to the new cemetery as soon as possible, so that they can return to dust and dust as soon as possible.
Before sending her daughter away, Meng Tan called my grandfather into the house and told my grandfather.
"Lao Qing, I only have such a daughter, I hope that when you send him and her on the road, you must treat her well, and you must not stop halfway!"
Grandpa heard Meng Tan's words, and his expression obviously changed.
In fact, any feng shui master knows very well that it is of course impossible to stop the coffin during the funeral process, unless the time is too long and the journey is not good.
Otherwise, the coffin will not fall to the ground.
Grandpa said to Meng Qin: "You can rest assured that I will do things, and I promise that I will be able to send your daughter to the treasure land safely." ”
Listen to my grandfather's assurance.
Meng Tan took a deep breath, slowly raised his head, and looked at the coffin parked in the hall again, as if something complicated was flashing in his eyes.
The girl lying in the coffin was his only daughter, and every parent didn't want their child to leave him so early.
But this is called providence.
Meng Qin said to his grandfather: "I believe that you have handed over this matter to you, and I hope you can return triumphantly." ”
It may sound strange.
It was just a simple funeral, how did it make it like going to war, my grandfather and I didn't ask anything else, and we were ready to start the funeral.
Light the soul lamp, look at the coffin, inhale three breaths, and measure yin and yang.
After a series of operations, Grandpa noticed that there was nothing abnormal, so he decided to raise the spirit.
"Open the way, the yin people are on the road, and the living people are avoided."
A hemp rope, four wooden sticks, and eight King Kongs, carry the coffin on the road.
My father picked up the soul-attracting lamp, poured the lamp oil in front of him, and recited words in his mouth, which was reciting the funeral scriptures and attracting the yin soul.
As the funeral scriptures floated in the sky, eight coffin bearers carried the red-skinned coffin like the Eight King Kongs, walked out of the door, and headed towards Qinghu Mountain.
Because Meng Xiyao died violently, according to local practice, no one will be buried except for the coffin bearer and the earth immortal.
So there are only ten people left.
Carry this coffin and walk on the overgrown mountain road.
My task today is to do chores, leading a black dog to follow behind, as for why I want to lead the black dog, grandpa mysteriously told me just in case.
The dog followed me at first, full of energy, and didn't know what to expect, and from time to time he still sprinkled Xiao Huan, looking very excited.
However, the complaints of the coffin bearer came one after another.
"This Meng family is really funny, a young girl died, it was so grand, and a coffin was added to the outside of the coffin, which is more exaggerated than the death of the old man of his family."
"Blinding that girl, dying like this at a young age is very uncomfortable for any parent."
"What can a rich man do, money can't buy a life, this is a living example."
"Let's laugh at others better, I'm still waiting to finish this order and take this money to spend well."
"Or you don't have to consume, just open this coffin, the beauty in the coffin is famous, ...... while it's hot"
"Even the dead want to be on it, you people must have no assholes in your voice."
As he spoke, the whole mountain road erupted in cheerful laughter, and I really despised these guys, in fact, every line has its own taboos.
During the funeral, these guys even joked about the deceased, which is also a kind of disrespect to the deceased.
But these people are not very high in character, and they have all been reduced to helping others carry coffins, and they are obviously very poor people, and there is no need to have general knowledge with such people.
I pulled the black dog and walked at the back of these people, still remembering the girl lying in the coffin, and the girl's voice and smile were unforgettable in my heart.
When the peak turned around, a black forest appeared in front of it.
The wind was gusting in the forest, as if there were monsters crying and laughing inside, and several coffin-carrying men also subconsciously stopped talking, and when they came back to their senses, the sun in the sky was just blocked by dark clouds.
There was a black cloud floating in the distance on the edge of the sky, and when everyone looked up at the sky together, they found that it was already a black cloud at the top, and the sky was dark, and then the wind was blowing, and the sand and rocks were flying, and everyone was shocked and panicked.
In all directions, the boundless chill suddenly gathered, just like the Yin soldiers crossing the border, and the dense footsteps sounded in the woods, so real.
The black dog became furious, whining in his throat, shaking into a bowl of water, and not entering the woods if he was killed.
I screamed, and found that my grandfather's face had turned pale.
Because the lamp of soul attraction in his hand was extinguished.
I saw my grandfather holding the extinguished soul-attracting lamp, and said tremblingly: "This place is not suitable for a long time, everyone hurry up." ”
Just as everyone was speeding up their pace at the same time and running desperately out of the woods, there was a heavy thumping sound from inside the coffin......
