Tang Jie pointed to the grove and turned back to us and smiled, "From this grove, grandma's grave will be reached, not far away, this grove is not big." ”

"Okay." I nodded, and we walked up to the grove side by side.

It's a pine forest, but it's not as dense as I imagined, the light inside is pretty good, the sun is shining overhead, it's quite warm on my body, and the weather is pretty good today.

It only took us five or six minutes to cross the pine forest, and at a glance we saw the grave sitting southeast in front of us, which was already dilapidated, and the grass on the grave was quite high, and the tombstone looked like it would fall to the ground completely under the slightest gravity, and it was already crumbling.

"That's Grandma's grave." Tang Jie said and walked over quickly, peeling off the weeds on the tombstone with his hands, breaking off a few thorns next to him, so that the whole picture of the tomb could barely be partially exposed, otherwise it looked like an old man with unkempt hair sitting there with his head hanging down from a distance, so that we could not see her "facial features" clearly.

When I got closer, the handwriting on the tombstone was all weathered, and it was difficult to make out at all, but these were not important, and I also learned the old man's birth and death years from the Xie family.

Luo Feiyi frowned, "By the way, on a sunny day like this, wouldn't it be okay for us to dig up the grave?" ”

I shook my head, "No, the first grandmother has been dead for many years, she has long been reincarnated, her soul is not in the tomb and is still integrated with her bones, so we dig up the grave and not expose her soul to broad daylight, and I will temporarily arrange a formation that can cover the sky and create a scene similar to night." ”

I did this to keep the bones inside from the chemical changes that occur during the day, and to prevent the spirit attached to the emerald bracelet from mutating.

"Oh yes, blame me for talking too much, you 'expert' must have thought about these issues." Luo Fei smiled embarrassedly.

"No, if you question it in time, you can also remind me that the tiger still has a nap, not to mention that I may be careless when I made a mistake and was reminded by you."

I didn't make Luo Fei's embarrassment any lessened, he shook his head slightly, and took out the digging tools, shovels and shovels from his pocket.

"Everybody sit down and take a breath, I'm ready to go." I said.

We sat on the floor next to the grave, took a sip of water, smoked a cigarette, and took out my rituals from my backpack.

I gave the two green runes to Tang Jie and Luo Fei and asked them to put them in their pockets, so that they could avoid being disturbed by the evil qi when they dug up the grave later.

After all, this grave is very old, although the soul of the deceased has been reincarnated, but there will also be other lonely souls and wild ghosts, as well as some spirits and evil creatures or something that lodge here, and the moment you open the tomb, it is easy to be injured by those guys suddenly rushing in the face.

Then I prepared incense candles and lit them in front of the grave, and the ritual procedures that should be done still had to be done, after all, this was a resting place for the old man.

After we bowed respectfully, I asked them to retreat two meters away, and then turned their backs to me, and only after I had set up the formation could they turn around.

To arrange this special temporary formation, it is necessary to mix them together with the blood of a four-legged snake with realgar wine, plus cinnabar.

I dipped some of the rune paper and drew a complex rune in front of the graveyard to lay out the consolidation formation, and then scattered the rest on the grave.

After doing all this, I sat down cross-legged, closed my eyes, and began to lay out the formation.

It is not easy to say that the layout of this formation is simple, and it is not easy to talk about difficult words, but it needs to be very serious, in case one of the links is not in place, if you recite a wrong spell, this formation will not only lose its efficacy, but also likely to have a backlash effect, that is, it will be harmful to me or Luo Fei and Tang Jie, and it will even attract some evil things, and then it will be a big trouble.

I stood up after arranging the formation, circled around the tomb three times, and then stood in front of the tomb and recited a mantra.

"Captain Luo, Brother Tang, you can come over now."

They came over and picked up the tools for excavation.

"You have to let me dig the first time, and you follow my instructions before you do it."

The two of them nodded, and stood next to me with shovels in hand.

I took out the compass and stood in front of the tomb, determined a direction, and began to dig the first shovel in the southwest direction, which is the correct direction, so that the main thing is not to destroy the feng shui of the descendants of the Xie family, I will explain to them later, and now the top priority is to dig up the grave first.

I went down with a shovel and said to them, "All right, you can dig." ”

They started digging in two directions, one to the left and one to the right.

The soil quality here is still very good, although it has been buried for so many years, but digging the surface layer of the soil, the soil below is still very fresh, revealing the vitality of nature, and the yellow soil looks very down-to-earth.

In less than 20 minutes, we dug up the coffin, but the coffin was already 2/3 broken, and the remaining planks did not cover anything, it was a dilapidated and rotten wooden "skeleton".

The lid of the coffin was also pitted, and many places were broken, faintly revealing dirt and other impurities inside.

I reached out and lifted the lid of the coffin, and it was full of mud and looked terrible, like a muddy road on a rainy day.

"This corpse...... Is it under the dirt? Tang Jie stammered and asked, after all, it was the first time he had seen such a scene.

Luo Fei nodded, "Yes, if you clean up the mud, you can see the bones, and the emerald bracelet will soon see the light of day." ”

Luo Fei is a professional in doing this kind of cleaning work, and under his leadership, it took us more than ten minutes to clean up the mud, but because it is too old, the bones have completely fallen apart, and we need to find the skeleton and the emerald bracelet in the mud.

Luo Fei was even more professional when he did this, only to see him squatting on the ground and picking up the bones in the mud with his hands and feet, and made an identification at a glance, "This is a kneecap." ”

"This is the hip bone, this is the phalange, it should be the ...... of the left foot"

I stood next to him with my chin pinched, and I couldn't help much, just watched him go about his work with reverence, and at the same time looked forward to the early appearance of the emerald bracelet.

Tang Jie, who was standing next to him, seemed much more restrained, he was restless, he didn't know where to put his hands and feet, his nerves were tense, he should have felt that this kind of practice was very disrespectful to the ancestors.

I walked over and smiled at him, pulled out a yellow piece of talisman paper and handed it to him.

"What is this?" He asked, confused.

"This rune paper can sense whether grandma's soul is still below, I'll make it for you now."

In fact, when I came here just now, I still sensed whether her old man's soul was still there, just in case it was my own judgment, then the next situation would be very troublesome, and slapping me in the face was a trivial matter, for fear of bringing disaster to everyone present.

Now I just want to show Tang Jie a live demonstration to prove that the soul of the old man is indeed gone, and what we are doing now does not offend the spirit of the old man in the sky.

Tang Jie scratched the back of his head suspiciously, "How do you get this?" ”

I said, "You hold the rune paper and silently read the old man's name three times, if the rune paper is hot in the palm of your hand, it proves that the old man's soul is indeed still there, if nothing abnormal happens, it means that the old man's soul is no longer there, you can rest assured, what we are doing now has not offended her old man." ”

Tang Jie's eyes widened, "This is amazing!" ”

"Yes, you come and try, let you understand that the old man's soul is really not there, so that it will dispel a lot of doubts and worries in your heart."

When I said this, Tang Jie immediately understood what I meant, and he immediately waved his hand embarrassedly, "No need, no need, you are a mage, I believe everything you say, you don't need to prove it to me, I also believe that after so many years, her old man should be long gone, go where she should go." ”

I smiled and stuffed the rune paper into his hand, and he held it stiffly in front of him.

"It's okay, you relax, you close your eyes, now start saying her name three times, if you don't pronounce her name, you can also call her grandma, whatever."

"Oh, well!" He nodded stiffly, slowly closed his eyes, the muscles at the corners of his mouth twitched unnaturally a few times, and it could be seen that he was actually very nervous, and the hand he held the rune paper was also trembling slightly, as if he was afraid that the rune paper in his hand would bite him suddenly.

After a minute, I asked him to open his eyes and asked him if there was any change in the rune paper in his hand.

He shook his head, "No, the rune paper is still at the same temperature just now, it is not hot, and there is no other situation, it is just a very ordinary rune paper." ”

"Okay, then you can change my name now, you still pronounce my name three times the way you just did, and see what kind of changes will happen to the rune paper."

"Ah, is that okay?"

"Of course you can, after all, I am a big living person, my soul is in my body now, and you can also sense the existence of my soul through this rune paper."

Luo Fei raised his head and smiled at me, probably he thought that I was too serious, and in order to explain a certain situation to a person, he had to drill into the horns to the end.

Tang Jie nodded, and closed his eyes again as I just said, his actions at this time were much more natural than just now, without that kind of stiffness and fear.
