"The Salesperson of the Shroud Shop"

Chapter 3 Graveyards

After the note was written, Yu Chen instructed Xiao Song to take the Zhao family to the hospital to pull the body out, and Xiao Song was responsible for contacting the car of the crematorium, and the funeral shed was also out of Xiao Song's shop. Wu Yu was a little strange: "Brother, didn't you give all the business to Xiao Song?" It's all given to him, what are we going to do! ”

Yu Chen smiled and pointed at Zhao Lianjun: "Help their family watch feng shui, and take out to catch ghosts." ”

Wu Yu drove the car and took Yu Chen and Zhao Lianjun to Zhao Lianjun's village one step ahead of Xiao Song, and it was already 12 noon when the car drove to Zhao's house.

Zhao Lianjun's family lives on the halfway of a hill, a standard three-room tiled house. The yard is surrounded by fruit trees, and it is more than a 20-minute walk from the nearest neighbor.

Wu Yu parked the car in a clearing at the bottom of the mountain, and the three of them walked up the mountain. Zhao Lianjun pointed to the tiled house halfway up the mountain and said, "That's my family, and my family of three has always lived with my old mother." My brother and they all live in the village at the foot of the mountain. ”

Yu Chen nodded: "Where is your ancestral grave, can you take me to see it?" ”

Zhao Lianjun nodded and pointed to another hill in the distance: "Over there!" My ancestral grave is on the mountainside in the direction of my house. ”

Yu Chen and Wu Yu both looked in the direction of Zhao Lianjun's finger, and there was indeed a hill not far away, but that mountain was full of pine trees, and they couldn't see that there was a grave there at all.

Yu Chen frowned: "How many graves are there in your ancestral tomb, why can't you see it?" ”

Zhao Lianjun smiled: "Daxian, you don't know, my ancestral grave has a total of 27 graves buried over there, but you can't see it from here, you have to be in our yard to see it." I don't know what's going on, I grew up here, and I've run all over the mountain of my house, except for the ancestral grave of our family that can be seen in my yard, I can't see the other places on the mountain. ”

Wu Yuqi said: "It's really fake, the mountain opposite is about the same height as this mountain, and it is halfway up the mountain, how can you see it at home?" It can't be that the pine trees are in the way! ”

Yu Chen glanced at Zhao Lianjun's house: "Uncle, how many years have your family lived here, and when did this house and cemetery exist." ”

Zhao Lianjun scratched his head: "I can't remember this clearly, when I was born, there was a house and a cemetery, and this house was also a new house built on the foundation of the old house." I don't know when my family lived here, but there are 27 graves in my family's cemetery, so I've been living here for some years. ”

Yu Chen nodded: "Please take us to have a look!" I need to take a survey of your graveyard to find out the best place for your mother's burial. As he spoke, he took out a compass and a small bag from the car.

As soon as Zhao Lianjun saw the compass, he finally had a bottom in his heart, although Yu Chen's fortune-telling was very magical in his opinion, but not everyone who could tell fortunes would look at feng shui, and when he saw the young man in front of him, he took out the compass, and saw that the compass was also an old thing, so he believed Yu Chen.

Zhao Lianjun led the way in front, and Wu Yu asked Yu Chen in a low voice in the back: "Brother, you can also use a compass, you have to teach me how to use this thing." ”

Yu Chen looked at Zhao Lianjun, who was leading the way, and didn't look back, and whispered in Wu Yu's ear: "Hehe, this is a fake I bought in an antique store, it's just a look." Brother-in-law, didn't you say that you read Feng Shui on the Internet? After a while, you can say those professional terms, I used to rely on Meng, but this time with you, I also pretend to be a feng shui master. ”

Wu Yu glanced at Yu Chen: "Brother, it's a bit too much for you to play like this!" Funeral events, you don't know how to look at feng shui, don't look blind! It's no joke. ”

Yu Chen looked indifferent: "Brother-in-law, I found that you are more superstitious than me, where did you come from, this is the ancestral tomb of others, you can find the burial place according to the horizontal and vertical arrangement of generations, just take the compass to symbolically adjust the position, I don't believe it myself, you still expect me to find him a feng shui treasure!" ”

Wu Yu was completely speechless, his brother-in-law seemed omniscient for a while, and he seemed particularly unreliable for a while, and he didn't know which was what he was. It seems like it's hard to learn something from him.

For Wu Yu, who has always lived in a big city and never exercised, climbing the ancestral grave of the Zhao family almost killed him. Although the mountains in the countryside are not high, they do not have steps like the mountains in tourist areas, and the so-called climbing of the mountain has become a staircase climbing. The mountains in the countryside are all dirt roads trodden by people, and in some places you need to step on rocks of different sizes to climb up.

Wu Yu looked at Zhao Lianjun, who was in his fifties, obviously used to taking this road, and he didn't look tired at all when he walked in front. Seeing that Yu Chen's forehead was full of sweat, Wu Yu smiled: "Brother, I thought you always took such a path!" ”

Yu Chen glanced at him: "Usually Xue Hao climbs up by himself to tell me, it's the first time I've climbed this kind of mountain." Grandma's, this mountain doesn't look high, and it's really hard to climb. ”

Wu Yu nodded and asked Zhao Lianjun: "Uncle, how did your old mother come up to such a steep mountain." At this time, Zhao Lianjun was already standing in a clearing halfway up the mountain: "You don't know!" My old mother, regardless of her age, climbs this mountain faster than me, and the old man likes to climb in the mountains all his life, picking mushrooms and digging wild vegetables, faster than young people. ”

Wu Yu and Yu Chen finally climbed up with great effort, and there were more than 20 tombs lined up in the shape of "people" in an open space in front of them, and they were neatly distributed from high to low, just like a cemetery. The pine trees on both sides of the cemetery appear to have been planted artificially, and they are arranged on the sides and at the top of the cemetery, maintaining a distance of about 1 meter from the cemetery.

Yu Chen took out a cigarette and handed it to Zhao Lianjun and Wu Yu, but he walked to a tomb without a monument. Wu Yu has also learned about some burial requirements and the choice of cemetery on the Internet in the past few days, and when he saw that this tomb did not have a monument and the seat of the tomb was arranged on the far right of the bottom row of the entire cemetery, and this tomb was about 2 meters away from the pine tree on the right side, and there was a chance that it was the grave of Zhao Lianjun's father.

Yu Chen looked at the tomb that had no monument, raised his eyes and looked at the tomb at the top of the entire cemetery: "Uncle, your father's grave is a given place!" ”

Zhao Lianjun nodded: "Yes, my old father left early, I was in my 30s that year, and I was the one who was helped by several uncles in the family at that time." Why is the location of this tomb wrong? ”

Yu Chen spat out a cigarette and shook his head: "There's nothing wrong with it, the location is okay." As he spoke, he took two steps to the right and stood on the edge of the pine tree on the right: "This is the tree that your mother cut down?" ”

Zhao Lianjun nodded again and again: "Yes, you see that my mother cut it there." As he spoke, he gestured to the middle of the pine trunk.

Wu Yu saw that Yu Chen's expression was very solemn, and he hurriedly followed over to take a look. Yu Chen stretched out his hand and touched the cut place on the trunk: "Good guy, your old lady's strength is not small!" Two or three more strokes, and the tree was cut down by her old man. ”

Zhao Lianjun nodded: "It's not!" My son, my son, and my brother didn't stop her that day, and I don't know where she got so much strength. ”

Wu Yu has been in love with Sun Xiaoxi for 5 years, and when he went to school, he always ran to Sun Xiaoxi's school, and he also secretly took classes with Sun Xiaoxi, and when he saw the place where the pine tree was cut, he said: "Brother, something is wrong!" When I fell in love with your sister Xiaoxi, I went to their school and saw the experiment of slashing and injuring you. The diameter of this pine tree is less than 20 centimeters, and this knife cuts at least one-third of it, and if you want to cut it with a kitchen knife, the blade must not go in most of it. Not to mention an old man, even a strong man in his 20s can't cut it! ”

Yu Chen nodded: "It's really strange, but what I'm strange about is not that the old lady is cutting down trees." It is not surprising that in traditional Chinese medicine, as long as acupuncture is applied to a specific acupuncture point, it can play a role in stimulating physical energy. Although this is extremely harmful to people's bodies, it does not mean that this phenomenon cannot occur. ”

Wu Yu nodded, he had also read a lot of martial arts novels, and said that he used needles to stimulate himself to achieve the effect of stimulating physical fitness in a short time: "Then what do you mean?" ”

Yu Chen looked around and said, "The pine and cypress are planted around the cemetery for two purposes. One is that it can firmly establish the surrounding land by tree roots, which plays a protective role in the cemetery and reduces the erosion of the cemetery by rainwater. The second pine and cypress belong to the wood, and the Xun is the wood and the Gen is the mountain in the gossip. Genxia Xun Shang is the 'gradual' hexagram. "The Legend of the Elephant" is not auspicious in the end, and he gets what he wants. To put it simply, customer service resistance is granted. Therefore, the planting of pines and cypresses on the periphery of this cemetery also means to block the invasion of foreign objects. ”

Zhao Lianjun was surrounded by the clouds and mountains that Yu Chen said, and nodded again and again. Wu Yu looked at Yu Chen with disdain: "Brother, you have been talking about natural science and yin and yang gossip for a long time, what do you mean to say it directly!" ”

Yu Chen put on his pretending to be mysterious again: "Brother-in-law, you are only half right, what I just said is only gossip, and there is no yin and yang." The pine and cypress are wood, that is, it represents yang, and the graveyard of the dead represents yin. This also has the meaning of blocking yin with yang, and supplementing yang with yin. ”

Wu Yu's eyes were about to roll over: "Speaking of people, what did you find." ”

Yu Chen smiled: "The cemetery is good, there is no obstruction around, and the terrain is flat here, just looking at the distant mountains." ”

Wu Yu really wanted to strangle Yu Chen to death at this time: "What does this have to do with the old lady cutting down pine trees." ”

Yu Chen glanced at Wu Yu, he was dressed as a great immortal! coughed lightly: "To put it simply, there are no pine trees planted around the cemetery, one is to leave a door for future generations to worship and bury, and the other is to facilitate the deceased inside to look out." The old lady wanted to cut down the pine tree, although she did not know why, but once the pine tree was cut down, there was a gap in the cemetery. Whether it is the wandering spirits outside or the dead in the cemetery, they will not be able to rest in peace, something must have happened. ”

When Zhao Lianjun heard this, he hurriedly asked, "Great Immortal, what will happen?" ”

Yu Chen said with an indifferent face: "If it is light, the wife will be scattered and the family wealth will be scattered, and the grave will be ruined and the family will be destroyed." ”

As soon as Zhao Lianjun heard this, he foamed at the mouth in fright, and his body fainted lightly. Wu Yu hurriedly helped Zhao Lianjun: "Brother, now you have a big deal." ”

Yu Chen still said indifferently: "This old man can't help but be scared, isn't this tree not falling!" You see, I can't kick it. In order to confirm this, Yu Chen kicked on the pine tree. It didn't matter if I kicked it, I just heard a 'click' and the pine tree broke off in response.
