The faces of the pilgrims changed suddenly, and they all said that the incense in this temple was quite effective on weekdays, and they only came, and this made a fuss-

"No, looking at the masters in this temple, they don't look like people who can do such things?"

"Phew, I don't know my heart! Haven't you heard? There are unclean temples and nunnery in this world, and there are some unsightly temples and nunnery inside! ”

"Anyway, this can't help but make people move graves, right?"

……

The pilgrims were talking.

Mrs. Zhang's eyes rolled, she patted her thighs, sat on the ground, and cried: "My poor in-laws, why are you so miserable!" I gave birth to my poor son-in-law and let go, leaving my poor son-in-law to be given away by the black-hearted one! ”

"Pity him as a child, he has been tortured for more than ten years, and he almost lost his life! I finally got through it, and I know the whereabouts of your in-laws, so I think about picking you up from my in-laws, no matter what you say in the future, this can be closer! But the monks in this temple don't know what they are blinded by, so they just don't let us take you away! O my poor in-laws! Why are you so miserable—"

That's a tearful eye.

Mei Xiaotong was stunned for a moment, remembering the cooperation of the whole family when she went to find An Huahao's two masters, and immediately pinched An Huahao without a trace, then covered her face with her sleeve and cried: "Mother-in-law! Rest assured! Today, my husband and I will risk our lives to take you out! Otherwise, you are alone, in this back mountain, no one has asked and no one has taken care of you for so many years, and I don't know how many sins you have suffered below——"

An Huahao was stunned, but he immediately understood, although he couldn't cry, as long as he lowered his head, that expressionless face, at this moment, it seemed that he was so sad that he couldn't even speak.

Most of the pilgrims are three aunts and four wives, and they love to watch the excitement and meddle with some things.

Look at this little couple again, the eyebrows are clear, the young man is beautiful, the daughter-in-law is crying sadly, the son is so sad that he can't speak, and even the mother-in-law who is crying and patting her thighs is particularly pleasing to the eye.

Such a son and daughter-in-law, mother-in-law, is simply the standard in the mind of every mother-in-law.

The gossip heart involuntarily leaned to this side, and they all said: "Master, you can't say anything like this? Where is there a place to hold on to the bones of other people's mothers? ”

"Not really! It is said that the family is compassionate, aren't you embarrassed by the young couple? ”

"If the Buddha sees you like this, I'm afraid he will be angry, right?"

……

The abbot was one head and two big, and he, he just wanted to delay a moment or two, so that he could send a letter to the address left by Tan Yue, and ask for his opinion.

Unexpectedly, it hit a hard stubble, and this crying and making trouble also alarmed the pilgrims outside, and put them on the volcano for a while.

If you don't agree to this, I'm afraid that I'll be here today

The temple will be flooded with spittle.

But the nobleman, thinking of the silver given by the nobleman, and then looking at the noisy scene in front of him, the abbot master gritted his teeth, this is still on the land of Jing County, no matter how powerful the nobleman is, it is also far away from the emperor, and he can't control it for a while.

If it really arouses everyone's anger today, and the reputation of this temple is tainted, it will not be worth the loss.

Therefore, the abbot master hurriedly said: "I'm really sorry! Fang is what we thought about for a while. Please also ask a few Tan Yue not to be angry! You can move this grave whenever you want! In order to apologize, today, all the practitioners in the temple have recited a volume of the Tibetan Sutra to the female Tanyue, so as to increase the blessings of the female Tanyue, and there will be no disease and no disaster in the next life, and the disaster will be auspicious! Amitabha! ”

When Mei Xiaotong heard this, she didn't want to offend the abbot master too much, so she accepted it when she saw it, and wiped her eyes with a gesture: "Master Xie is considerate!" We're going to move the grave tomorrow! There are fifty taels of silver here, and I would like to ask the master and all the masters to recite the Jizo Sutra for three days to my mother-in-law, so that she can be safe and happy below. ”

As he spoke, he respectfully handed a bag of silver to the abbot master.

The abbot master couldn't help but glance at Mei Xiaotong, and everyone could only take it, and then recited the Buddha's name: "Don't worry, don't worry, you have this heart, I think that the female Tanyue will definitely feel it underground!" Amitabha! ”

Seeing the situation, Mrs. Zhang didn't let her help, she got up as soon as she snorted, patted the dust on her clothes, and thanked the pilgrims around her.

Those pilgrims couldn't help but pull Mrs. Zhang to inquire, Mei Xiaotong saw that the abbot master's face was about to be unstable, and pulled Mrs. Zhang and An Huahao, and slipped away.

Out of the mountain gate, the faces of the three of them sank, but they didn't expect that Song Hong would still have such a hand.

Thinking about it at the moment, everyone doesn't think that this is Song Hong's affection and righteousness, but it seems that he is more and more unkind.

If she really has affection for Qi Huan, she can't bear to leave her here alone? Still leave the abbot as the eyeliner, as soon as someone wants to move Qi Huan's grave, they will stop it?

I'm afraid there's something strange here.

It's a pity that not many people know about the events of that year, and they can't figure out what Song Hong thinks at the moment.

When he got home, An Huahao hurriedly asked Yang Zongbao to send two people to sneak to the back mountain of the temple and guard the tomb of Qi Huan all night.

Mei Xiaotong comforted: "I think their posture today is just an eyeliner that Song Hong puts here." Knowing that we are going to move the grave tomorrow, I don't dare to do anything at this moment. Even if we send a letter to Song Hong, when he receives it, we will already have it done here. He has no name and no part with our mother-in-law, what kind of demon moth can he have? ”

When An Huahao mentioned Song Hong, his eyes were full of disgust, and he only snorted.

But in the evening, Imperial Physician Du heard the news, called the two of them, and after questioning the two with Mrs. Qi, after half a day, Imperial Physician Du said: "When you move your mother's grave tomorrow, pay more attention to see if there is anything unusual about your mother's bones."

。 I listened to your description, but I think that the eyeliner left by Song Hong is not staring at you, but someone else-"

Mei Xiaotong and An Huahao's hearts jumped, and they glanced at each other, with only one thought, if this is the case, Song Hong and the others are not the Qi family?

This Qi Huan's bones that day were collected and buried by Song Hong, if there is anything abnormal about Qi Huan's bones, Song Hong must know it.

If it is assumed that Qi Huan's tomb and bones are bait set by Song Hong, then ......

Mei Xiaotong shuddered.

When they thought of this, their hearts became heavy.

Mrs. Qi felt distressed when she saw it, a few days ago, she had already told Mei Xiaotong and An Huahao about her friendship with the Qi family back then.

also shows that he treats An Huahao as a son and Mei Xiaotong as a daughter.

At this moment, after listening to Imperial Doctor Du's words, and seeing An Huahao and Mei Xiaotong's heavy expressions, he immediately scolded Song Hong eight hundred times.

pulled Mei Xiaotong to his side and comforted: "Xiaotong, don't worry about it for now, Ming'er will move Qi Huan's sister's grave first." Even if Song Hong's bastard has any plans, isn't there still your master? Don't be afraid~~"

Imperial Doctor Du couldn't help but roll his eyes, he really looked down on him, he was just a former imperial hospital, and Song Hong was the emperor's henchman Wei Guogong, okay?

What gave his wife this confidence and courage?

It's just that he didn't refute his wife's words, but just instructed: "Ming'er will move the grave, and I will wait for you with your master and wife in your Zhuangzi." ”

An Huahao nodded, indicating that he understood.

Looking at the sky again, the moon was half empty, and the two had already knocked on the second watch outside, and the two said goodbye and went home.

Lying on the kang, both of them had thoughts in their hearts, and they didn't sleep well after tossing and turning.

Because the matter of moving the grave could not be past noon, so before dawn, the two of them stared for a while, and they were woken up by Mrs. Li.

Seeing that her daughter and son-in-law both walked out of the room with two black circles under their eyes, Mrs. Li was distressed: "Quickly boil two eggs to roll." ”

Mrs. Ding's hands and feet were fast, and after a while, she boiled the eggs, brought them hot, wrapped them in a handkerchief, and rolled them around her eyes, looking slightly better.

casually filled his stomach, Yang Zongbao had already arranged for the helpers, and they all came together at the gate of the Song family's courtyard.

Mrs. Ding and Mrs. Wu brought out a basket of steamed buns and a large pot of pickles, which were for the helpers to eat, and they had to help raise the grave today, dig the grave, carry the coffin, and the stomach must be filled.

There are eight helpers, all of whom are big men, and they have the strength of a handful at a glance.

While these helpers were having breakfast, Mei Xiaotong and Mrs. Li were packing up the things they would need for a while.

After breakfast, the sky was a little bright, and a group of people hurried to the temple.

When I arrived at the temple, it was just dawn, and the door of the temple had not yet opened.

After knocking for a while, a small novice came and opened the door.

See Anhua Hao

A group of them, knowing that they had come to move the grave today, didn't say much, but only brought it to the back mountain and went straight back.

Anhua Hao: They don't mind.

After seeing Qi Huan's grave, he first had to incense Qi Huan and tell her that he was going to move her elsewhere.

After the incense was applied, he recited the mantra of breaking the earth. Then it was Anhua Hao who dug up the soil of the first shovel and set it aside.

The other helpers threw off their arms and began to dig.

There are many people with great strength, and after a while, someone's shovel seems to have touched something, and it makes a muffled sound.

Everyone glanced at each other and estimated that the coffin had been dug up, so they were more careful.

After a while, the shape of the coffin was revealed, and nearly twenty years had passed, except for the dirt on it, the shape of the coffin had not changed at all.

Someone pried it vigorously with a shovel, but it didn't move, only a screeching sound, bringing out dirt and stone chips.

Stone chips? An Huahao's eyes froze, he grabbed a shovel, and carefully shoveled away all the soil on the coffin, revealing the true face of the coffin.

Everyone couldn't help but let out a sound of amazement, no one expected that under this tomb, there was actually a sarcophagus.

Mei Xiaotong and An Huahao glanced at each other, and An Huahao said in a deep voice: "Open the coffin!" ”

Because everyone thought it was a wooden coffin, they didn't take advantage of the tools they carried, and it took a long time to reluctantly pry open a crack in the stone coffin.

Mei Xiaotong hurriedly asked the helper to lift a large piece of black cloth and cover the stone coffin tightly.

An Huahao and a few other helpers slowly pushed the lid on the stone coffin open, revealing the true face inside.

Mei Xiaotong saw it really because she had been standing next to her.

The coffin opened, revealing a quilt of unclear color, with large strands of black hair on one end of the quilt, and a slight bulge under the quilt.

An Huahao took a deep breath, gently opened the quilt, and saw that under the quilt, there was a corpse, the clothes wrapped around the body were torn, and there were several gold and silver burial goods next to the bones.

Mei Xiaotong gritted her teeth, took out the prepared red gloves, put them on herself, and gave An Huahao another pair, according to the rules, the two of them had to pick out Qi Huan's bones and put them in the prepared coffin.

Because the location of the new grave is a little far away, Mei Xiaotong and An Huahao have prepared a small coffin, and after Qi Huan's bones are removed, they will be placed in this small coffin first, and when they arrive at the new cemetery, they will be placed in the big coffin.

To tell the truth, although Mei Xiaotong claims to be the successor of socialism and advocates science, she is still a little timid when she touches the bones so closely.

It's just that she also knows that she can't afford to retreat at this time, so she has to grit her teeth and go down to the cemetery.

Time was also tight, and it took a lot of time to open the coffin before, but at this moment, the two only exchanged colors, and then hurriedly put the bones in the small coffin.

still

Well, An Huahao seemed to see that Mei Xiaotong was a little scared, and silently sped up, most of Qi Huan's bones, especially the skull, were picked up by him and placed in the coffin.

Finally, after checking it, there was no omission, and then the small coffin was covered and covered with a black cloth.

This stone coffin and the things inside, An Huahao definitely won't want it, and after covering the quilt or something back, he climbed up.

"Shut it up! Re-buried! ”

The helpers were all selected by Yang Zongbao, and naturally they were all trustworthy people, so they didn't ask much, they closed the stone coffin with a sigh, and filled the soil back again, restoring it to its original state.

These people are very experienced, without waiting for An Huahao to greet them, they have already tied up the small coffin, and put it on with a wooden pole, originally prepared for this to be carried by eight people, this coffin is small, and the weight is light, so it was simply lifted by two people, and quickly went down the mountain.

It is necessary to rush to the Zhuangzi at noon and send the coffin to the Zhuangzi and re-enter the earth for peace.

When An Huahao and his party all went down the mountain, two monks came out of the wing room of the temple, looked left and right to see that there was no one, holding a shovel, chanting a few Buddhas, raising the shovel and about to dig up the tomb that had just been filled again.

Hearing a commotion, a team of wolf-like guards rushed out from the side of the mountain gate, kicked the two monks aside, and tied them up.

Then a person in a vermilion official robe walked out from behind the guards, and it was Zhu Haoran.

Looking at the newly filled grave, he waved his hand: "Dig up—"

A few men came out of the guards, each with a shovel in their hands, and they were digging up.

This was the soil that had just been filled in, and everyone dug it easily, and after a few clicks, they saw the sarcophagus.

It took some effort to carry the sarcophagus out directly.

Without Zhu Haoran's orders, the guards wrapped the sarcophagus in black cloth, and a special carriage quietly stopped at the gate of the mountain.

The coffin was carried into a special carriage, and soon it was guarded by a group of guards, and disappeared into the mountain path.

Zhu Haoran entered the hall of the temple slowly, and watched the Bodhisattva enshrined in it come out for a while, and a subordinate came to report: "My lord, everyone is detained in the next room." ”

Zhu Haoran nodded, followed his subordinates, and when he arrived at the wing, the monks and little novices in the temple were all inside.

The bold eyes showed anger, and the timid only recited Amitabha, only the presiding, and the rosary in his hand became more and more urgent.

There was such a commotion in the temple, and An Huahao and they didn't know anything.

Because I was afraid of missing the time, I hurried to the Zhuangzi, and this was a grave move, and I was afraid of colliding, so I walked carefully all the way, and finally caught up with the treetops in the sun, so I could rush to the foot of the mountain, and saw that the Zhuangzi was in front of me.

I found that something was wrong.

There is only one way up the mountain, but at the intersection at this moment, there are a few guards.

An Huahao and Mei Xiaotong also have Mrs. Li

They all stopped and looked at each other.

Or An Huahao tidied up his clothes and took a few steps forward, but he saw a somewhat familiar person, wasn't that the guard under Governor Chen, the man named Zhang Hu who participated in the Yulan Festival Dragon Boat Race in the name of the students of Baiyun Academy that day?

Why is he here?

Does that mean that Governor Chen is also here?

Zhang Hu also saw An Huahao, walked forward in three steps and two steps, and saw An Huahao in white filial piety, and he didn't say much, only clasped his fists and saluted: "Brother Song, our governor went to find Imperial Doctor Du today, and I heard that today is the day when Brother Song moved the grave of his deceased aunt, and he also came to see his aunt off." ”

Although An Huahao didn't know what Governor Chen was here for, seeing that the sun was rising higher and higher, he couldn't care so much, so he had to return the salute: "Your Excellency is polite!" A little thing, where is it worth alarming the adults? ”

Zhang Hu looked like a rough man, but he was delicate, although An Huahao was polite, but there was a trace of anxiety in his eyes, and then he looked at the sky, where did he not understand in his heart?

didn't say much at the moment, just stepped aside: "It's not too early, don't delay the hour." Brother Song, you're welcome, please-"

An Huahao gratefully arched his hand at Zhang Hu and strode up.

Zhang Hu had already made a gesture, and the guards got out of the way.

The group didn't say much, and buried their heads and walked up the mountain.

When they arrived at the gate of Zhuangzi, the security was even stricter, but it seemed that someone had instructed them, and no one stopped them when they came.

In the courtyard, Imperial Physician Du was accompanying Governor Chen to look around and comment a few words.

Hearing the movement, the two turned around.

An Huahao and Mei Xiaotong were busy giving Governor Chen a salute.

Governor Chen didn't know if it was a coincidence or deliberate today, he was wearing plain clothes, and when he saw An Huahao and Mei Xiaotong saluting, he hurriedly stopped him, and his attitude was very kind.
