Chapter 65: Mourning and Funeral
Xiao Laodao beckoned to my grandfather, "Come and see." The master put down the guy in his hand and walked to Xiao Laodao's side.
Xiao Laodao raised his hand and pointed to the surrounding mountains, "Look at this place, the water is surrounded by mountains, the mountains have spirits, the water has souls, the aura is full, and the feng shui is good." ”
Xiao Laodao pointed to the place where he was digging again, "This place is located in the feng shui acupoint in this area, and the place is right, it's just ...... The direction of standing is not right, the direction of the dry mountains is Xun, this direction is already a lot of doom, the water is from right to left, out of Ding into B, the Lord, the children and grandchildren are promiscuous and strange, the mountain peaks are in Gengshen, the Lord, lonely and poor, the people buried here, the descendants of the children and grandchildren are rich and noble for ten to fifteen years, and then they are promiscuous, and they die of strange diseases, and so far, their family has died of extinction, and when they have just opened and dug up, this place is bare, and not a single grass has grown. The grave grass is also very particular, but there is no grass on the grave, indicating that the tomb owner has no heirs alive. ”
Saying that, Xiao Laodao pointed to the willow tree at the head of the grave again, "Look at the weeping willow at the head of the grave, this trunk can't be hugged by anyone, at least for more than thirty years, for the tomb owner in the tomb, it can be said that it is a blessing and a disaster, such a big willow tree, and it is so close to the grave, the roots of the tree should have penetrated the coffin board and affected the corpse in the coffin." The roots of the tree wear the coffin, the soul will not be at peace, the heirs of the family will be sick for many years, and the ghost will rush out of the coffin and run home to make trouble, causing the family to be restless, however, when the roots of the tree are not wearing the coffin, their family is afraid that they are dead, at this time, what should I do, brother, you say, the ghost is restless, but he can't make trouble with the family, what should he do? ”
Xiao Laodao looked at my grandfather, my grandfather thought about it and said, "Then he will make trouble with the people who pass by here." ”
"Not bad." Xiao Laodao nodded.
My grandfather asked, "Then let's dig the grave now for ...... Do you want to bury the bones in the tomb somewhere else? ”
When Xiao Laodao heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "Change the place to bury? Brother, you can think of it, do you think brother, I look like people who do such good deeds? ”
My grandfather glanced at Xiao Laodao, and said in his heart, didn't he just bury the thin man's family yesterday, and bought three good coffins for others, why don't you look like people who do such good deeds?
However, my grandfather only thought about this in his heart, but didn't say it, Xiao Laodao is also a person with a good face, so my grandfather is afraid that he will not be able to hang on his face.
My grandfather said, "Then what should we do after we dig up the grave?" ”
Xiao Laodao was stunned for a moment, "Why do you ask me what to do, I have to ask yourself about this, brother, after the planing, it will depend on you, what you say to do." ”
My grandfather frowned suddenly, and said, "If it is really like what you said, the grave is in the wrong direction, and the coffin board is pierced by the tree roots, then we just need to pick up the bones and bury them in another place." ”
When Xiao Laodao heard this, he hurriedly waved his hand, "No, change the place to bury it, isn't the peach wood wedge sharpened in vain, besides, we are digging graves, we are tomb robbers, not crying and mourning people all day long!" ”
The master suddenly showed a helpless face, "Okay, after the planing is opened, let's take a look at the bones first, I have a way to deal with it." ”
The mound was quickly dug open, and sure enough, as Xiao Laodao said, there was a thick tree root, which penetrated horizontally from the tail plate of the coffin, that is, the turtle board, and directly drilled into the coffin, judging from the thickness of the roots exposed on the outside of the coffin, the roots inside the coffin were at least four to five feet long, occupying more than half of the length of the coffin.
At this time, the coffin had decayed, and according to Xiao Laodao's inference, the coffin had been buried for at least a year, that is to say, at least sixty years. The coffin board almost blended with the surrounding land, and it was no longer clear what kind of wood it was, the wood was full of dirt, and the coffin lid did not need a crowbar at all, and several people directly smashed the coffin lid with a shovel.
The sun and moon plates on both sides of the coffin are okay, but they look like two earthen walls. Xiao Shiyi jumped into the coffin, quickly cleaned up the pieces that fell inside, and then looked into the coffin, Xiao Laodao suddenly laughed, "It's really damn intentional to plant flowers that don't bloom, and unintentionally planted willows and willows to become materials!" ”
My grandfather didn't understand what Xiao Laodao meant, and looked into the coffin, a rotten corpse bone, the clothes on the corpse were also rotten, and the appearance was no longer visible, at the foot of the corpse, there were seven egg-sized black beads, and in the position of the corpse's hands, there were two palm-sized discs, one looked earthy yellow, and the other was the same as those beads, it was also black, on the top of the corpse's head, there seemed to be something, but it had rotted for too long, It seems to be gauze or something.
Xiao Laodao hurriedly instructed Xiao Shiyi in the coffin, "Hurry up and take all the plates and beads, this time it's not in vain, you can have so many windfalls!" ”
My grandfather was puzzled and asked Xiao Laodao, "Brother Xiao, what are these beads and plates, they are so dark, can they be worth anything?" ”
Xiao Laodao said: "Brother, don't look away, these are real gold and silver, these seven black beads are silver tweezers, that is, silver beads, these two plates, one is a gold plate, and the other is a silver plate." ”
Xiao Shiyi had already wrapped red cloth around his hands at this time, and began to pick up the beads in the coffin, and my grandfather looked at the plates and beads again, and asked, "Why are they all black?" ”
Xiao Laodao said: "This is the corpse oil and corpse gas after the corpse decomposes, plus the roots of the tree penetrate the coffin board, the aura in the coffin has changed, and the objects inside have changed, but this is fine, take it back and brew it with overnight strong tea for a few hours, and wipe it clean." ”
My grandfather asked again, "Then why did he put these things in this coffin?" ”
"This?" Xiao Laodao smiled: "To put it simply, this is called holding the sun and moon in your hands, stepping on the seven stars, seven silver tweezers, for the seven stars, the gold plate in the left hand of the corpse is the sun, the silver plate in the right hand is the moon, and the top of the corpse's head should be covered with a piece of purple yarn, just like purple gas in the clouds, this is also famous: step on the seven stars and walk, and the sun and the moon are born in the hand; The spiritual platform is covered with purple gas, and the rich and noble people in the next life; In other words, reincarnation in the next life can be rich and expensive. ”
After Xiao Laodao finished speaking, the master, who has always been unsmiling, suddenly smiled, and Xiao Laodao also smiled, "Some things, no matter how well you do, it depends on whether you have this life, just like this, it has been more than sixty years, and you have not been reincarnated." ”
While speaking, Xiao Shiyi hollowed out the objects in the coffin, Xiao Laodao took the beads and plates in his hands, weighed them a few times, and laughed at the corpse in the coffin, "Originally, we came to eliminate harm for the people, but there is such a sentence, those who know the times are Junjie, I see that your brother is very knowledgeable about current affairs, and he is a monk in the poor way, so he won't care about you, good thoughts are the foundation, compassion is cherished, what are you now, come with us, the poor road will find you a place, this poor mountain and bad water, I am too wronged by you." ”
"What?" When my grandfather heard this, he was stunned, and hurriedly said to Xiao Laodao: "Brother Xiao, didn't you just say that after opening the coffin, leave it to me to deal with?" ”
Xiao Laodao glanced at my grandfather, "Brother, people have to learn a little more exciting, they have to know how to be flexible," he said, Xiao Laodao shook the black ball and black plate in his hand in front ......of my grandfather's eyes, "Look at people, they have given us so many things, are we embarrassed to rectify them again, and don't reach out to the gift giver." ”
My grandfather's lips suddenly trembled a few times, "Then, what do you want to do now?" ”
"What to do? After receiving a gift from someone else, of course I have to do something for others, so I'll find a place for this master to bury ......"
When my grandfather heard this, he couldn't say anything at once, this old Taoist priest was too quick to change, right......
Xiao Laodao took off his Taoist robe, jumped into the coffin himself, picked up the bones inside piece by piece, wrapped them in Taoist robes, and said to the bones inside through the Taoist robe, "Go with Poor Dao, Poor Dao will give you a new home." Then, Xiao Chujiu hugged Xiao Chujiu in his robe and beckoned everyone to leave.
A few people walked upstream along the river, Xiao Laodao walked in the front, my grandfather walked in the last look, the grandfather looked at Xiao Laodao's back, and felt that he couldn't figure him out at all.
Walking along the river for half a mile, Xiao Laodao stopped in front of him, beckoned everyone to wait in place, he took off his shoes and socks, held them in his hands, and walked to the other side of the river. The river is not deep, and the deepest part is only up to the thigh.
On the other side of the river, Xiao Laodao took the compass and walked around several times, and then beckoned our grandfather and them, and they all waded through the water and found a suitable place.
Seeing this, the three of them didn't even take off their shoes and socks, and hugged the bones, directly? The water passed.
The bones were put on the ground, Xiao Laodao took the compass and looked at it again, and said to the bones on the ground: "This lord, let's just go here, this place, although the aura is a little worse, but the location is more than just now, you see, I also transferred a direction for you, we are now on the other side of the river, Xunshan is dry, the water is out of Kun to Mao, the descendants of the descendants, the wealth and nobility, by the way, you have no children and grandchildren, but it's okay, this is definitely a treasure of fast feng shui." After speaking, Xiao Laodao beckoned everyone and dug a pit to bury bones.
My grandfather was very depressed at this time, pulled out a peach wood wedge from his body, and said to himself: "It seems that these peach wood wedges are really made for nothing." ”
Xiao Laodao glanced at my grandfather when he heard this, "What's the matter, brother, are you dissatisfied with my brother's approach?" ”
My grandfather was stunned for a moment, this old Taoist priest seemed to be able to see through his own thoughts, and then said: "The matter has come to this point, what is there to be satisfied with." ”
Xiao Laodao smiled and asked my grandfather: "Do you know why we burn paper on the coffin every time we pay for it?" ”
