Chapter 63: The Thousand Pounds of Stone Tablet
But I'm happy about that.
Although I learned a lot about carrying the coffin from my grandfather's notes, there was no tutorial on how to choose a stone tablet.
And this stele usually has a lot of exquisiteness, and I'm really worried that I can't choose it well.
The stele is psychic, and a good stele even takes tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands to get it.
Then I took out the old man's birthday and the tombstone money given by Zhang Hong.
"Grandpa, this is the first time I have ordered a monument, so I still need to trouble you more."
The old man nodded, "You are the grandson of Lao Guantou, that is, my grandson, Lao Guantou can't hand you over, of course I can't stand by." ”
Hearing the old man say this, I was slightly stunned, because I seemed to hear something else from the old man's words.
Sure enough, the old man spoke.
"Would you like to be my apprentice?"
I was even more stunned, and when I reacted, I got up and knelt on the ground.
"The master is above, please accept the apprentice's worship!"
Maybe I've read too many novels, and the first thing that comes to mind is the prostration.
When the old man saw this, he laughed busily, and then helped me up.
"When has this been, you are still here. Okay, don't call me master, just call grandpa in the future! ”
I nodded hurriedly, "Grandpa, I know, I need more teachings from you in the future." ”
"I used to tell the old juncture, wait for you to come and learn from me, but I never found the opportunity, but I didn't expect you to send it to the door by yourself now."
While talking to me, the old man had already calculated the birth date of the victim, and then got up and greeted me, and walked to the back of the house.
"This is the first time you have helped someone erect a monument, of course I want to give you a piece of good goods, this is the treasure of my town store here, this time I will give it to you!"
As he spoke, the old man led me to a room at the back of the house.
When I came to the back of the house just now, the courtyard was full of stone monuments, but my focus was on the room where the old man had brought me.
Because the door of the other rooms is open, you can see that there is a stone tablet inside, but this room has a closed door.
So it directly gave me the feeling that there was something good in it, and sure enough, I guessed correctly.
"Xiao Guanzi, this is the stone tablet I wanted to leave to myself, since now that you have inherited your grandfather's mantle and are willing to follow the old man and me, then give it to you as a gift!"
When I heard this, I was indeed grateful, but I was embarrassed to settle it.
"Grandpa, this gift is too big, I can't afford it."
The old man shook his head, "It's okay, Xiao Guanzi, don't let Grandpa down." ”
I nodded heavily.
Then the old man stroked the stele with pity on his face and began to explain to me the origin of the stele.
"Xiao Guanzi, I'll give you a science popularization now, the knowledge of this stone stele, the stone tablet is divided into the same stone tablet, and the various stone tablets called the name."
"The focus of the former is on the ordinary two words, and that kind of stele is usually a real thing. It is just engraved with the birth date and past events of the deceased for future generations to mourn. ”
"And the latter is spiritual, because according to the different formations, usually the names are also different, the only thing that is the same is that they are spiritual, and even if the deceased has grievances after death, as long as he can find a good stone tablet, he can also help him resolve his grievances."
"And this kind of stele is usually rare in a hundred years, and even if it can be found, it is relatively rare for some spirits."
Although I don't know much about this, I do understand some basic facts.
I also know some of the things that the old man said just now.
It is precisely because there are very few spiritual stone monuments. Not everyone has the opportunity to meet it. Not everyone is eligible for it. ”
"Only those who are destined can lift the spiritual stone monument and enter the pier smoothly."
It's the first time I've heard what the old man said later, and it makes me feel that this aspect is unfathomable.
"My stele was specially carried down from Mount Tai. Absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon, it is already full of spiritual energy, and it is definitely a good stone tablet. If it's a fateful person, it can naturally be easily taken away, but if you don't have a fate, you can't even lift it. ”
Because as a coffin bearer, I can be said to be very clear about this kind of supernatural thing, so I don't think it's strange.
It's just that I haven't tried it, so I feel a little unacceptable?
The old man must have seen my thoughts, and hurriedly said to me, "If you don't believe it, you can try it first and feel it."
I didn't refuse, I bent over and wanted to give it a try.
Of course, I don't expect to be able to lift this stele by myself, but just lifting one foot should be fine.
But the strange thing really happened, and even though I tried to eat milk, the stele still didn't move.
I felt my fingers sore against the stele.
But the stele was stunned and didn't give any power.
After trying a few times in a row, I finally chose to give up because I really didn't have the strength to try again.
This incident can be regarded as proving the old man's explanation before, and I was moved and shocked at the same time. But he was also worried.
"Grandpa, you said that if you don't have a chance, you can't move at all. At this point, I had already tried it. If I say that, wouldn't I have nothing to do with this stone tablet, in this case, where can I move it? ”
The old man smiled and shook his head, "Of course you can't do it alone, don't forget that carrying the coffin requires everyone's cooperation, I have just calculated the deceased's birthday is still auspicious, but it is also worthy of this monument, and when I am helping you find someone, I believe that you two will be able to lift it with the cooperation." ”
I don't know why, the old man is very sure, seeing him like this, I can't say anything, just wait for the old man's arrangement.
Because the old man still needed time to engrave the words on the tablet, I left first after saying a word to the old man.
We agreed that I would come over early the next morning, and the old man would explain to me the knowledge on the monument, and at the same time introduce me to the man he had just mentioned.
After leaving the old man's place, I went back to the hotel, and sure enough, as I thought, Min Min didn't go out at all.
When she saw me come back, Min Min was extremely excited and wanted to say something, but she hesitated to say it.
However, I had already guessed her thoughts, and then offered to take her out for a walk.
Minmin was supposed to be my first time in town, so a lot of things were curious in her eyes.
