Chapter 16: Grave Hunting

After the frolic, the senior brother saw that it was still early, so he suggested that we go out for a walk and find a piece of feng shui treasure land along the way, so that we could bury the ashes of Daofan's sister.

Dao Fan was concerned about his deceased sister, so he naturally had no intention of going to other places, so he took us straight to the cemetery in the village.

At the foot of the mountain, about three or four kilometers away from the village, on top of a small mound, there are mounds of uneven sizes.

On the side of the village, the mounds are generally low, and most of them have no tombstones.

Obviously, it has been a long time, and the children and grandchildren are afraid that they are also lying next to each other here, and no one has repaired them, and these graves have long lost their former appearance.

Moreover, the living people in that meeting could not afford to eat, and the dead naturally could not afford to use the tombstones, of course, the rich man's house should be an exception.

On the side of the hill, the grave is tall, and on the cyan tombstone, the inscription is solemn and desolate, introducing the owner's surname and the relationship with the person who erected the monument.

"This place is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the famous hall is open, and it is indeed a good place for yin houses."

The senior brother looked back and forth, looking at a meandering stream not far from the mound and said.

"Senior brother, I understand that it is surrounded by mountains and rivers, but what does it mean that this famous hall is open?"

I thought to myself that my senior brother was a Taoist priest and must be very good at feng shui yin house, so I quickly asked the question in my heart.

"It's the meaning of being more open in front of you, and I've heard my friend say that, so I know a little bit about it."

I waited for my senior brother to give me popular science, and I naturally didn't expect his answer.

The senior brother saw what I was thinking, and said again:

"There are three thousand avenues, there are precedences in hearing the Tao, and there are specializations in the art industry, do you think that as long as you are a Taoist, you know everything about metaphysics?"

"Then you're still going to come to find a feng shui treasure for others!"

Or I couldn't stand the fact that my senior brother had changed back to this serious and gentlemanly appearance, so I muttered in a low voice, afraid that my senior brother would hear it, so I hurried to Dao Fan again.

At this time, Dao Fan was kowtowing to a low grave pile with no tombstones, this grave was on the outermost part of the side of the mountain, although it was not large, but it was obviously buried not far away, just three or three years ago.

Looking at Daofan's pious and sad appearance, it must be his grandmother who is buried under this grave.

I was the last thing I could comfort, so I knelt down beside Dao Fan and knocked my head against the mound a few times, so that my forehead was covered with dirt and a few sticks of dead grass stuck to my hair.

When the senior brother heard the sound, he also came over, looked at me and stopped, bowed deeply three times to the grave, and then said:

"Life and death are in a trance, like the cycle of the four seasons, everyone has their own life, don't be too sad."

As soon as I heard my senior brother speak, I also followed his words to comfort Dao Fan and said:

"The world is suffering, your grandmother is happy in her life, you should be happy for her."

After listening to my words and that of my senior brother, he nodded and got up, and asked his senior brother how to choose his sister's grave.

I also stood up, patting the dust on my knees with one hand and rubbing my forehead with the other.

The senior brother pointed to the back of Grandma Daofan's grave and said that it would be good to be buried there, and it was just right to be a companion with Grandma.

After choosing the cemetery of Daofan's sister, the three of them walked towards the village in silence, and the senior brother slowly approached me and said in a low voice:

"Little Zero, you remember, in the future, except for your parents, you must not kneel and kowtow again, the deceased elders can't do it, they can't afford it."

I was full of doubts, when I wanted to kowtow to the master Wudao to worship the master, the master quickly knelt on the ground like me, and said that he must not kowtow, and now the senior brother said this, which should be confusing.

"Also, you can shave your ordination, otherwise you will really bury your Huigen, hahaha!"

Just as I was about to ask a question, the senior brother said something that puzzled me again, laughed and walked forward.

I stood there and thought about it for a long time, and after a long time, I realized what my brother's last sentence meant.

Bliss in the afterlife is generally a Buddhist theory, and although Buddhism is a family, it is very different after all. I am an apprentice of Master Wudao, although I have not studied Taoism, but I am also a person in the Taoist sect, but now I am full of Buddhist arguments, and my senior brother said that I should become a monk.

Back at Dao Fan's house, the senior brother told Dao Fan that he would borrow a remnant relative to shave my head, and also told Dao Fan the ins and outs.

I know that his purpose is to divert Dao Fan's attention and make Dao Fan happy.

Dinner was made by me and Daofan, so I just cooked some noodles to fill my stomach.

After dinner, the dishes and chopsticks were not cleaned up, and the three of them sat and chatted, saying that they were chatting, but in fact, it was mainly the senior brother who kept teasing me.

Talking and laughing, time flies, and in the blink of an eye, the sun sets, and the night has quietly arrived.

Dao Fan stood up and cleaned up the tableware on the table, and was about to wash the dishes, I also got up and wanted to help, but the senior brother stopped me and said:

"The moon is fine tonight, don't you want to do something else?"

It dawned on me that the master had left me two ancient books and told me to read them in the moonlight or at sunrise.

I couldn't wait to take out two ancient books, go outside the door and open one of them, and start studying it by the moonlight.

The two ancient books are densely packed with strange symbols, and they can be seen clearly in the moonlight at the moment.

I stared at an ancient book that I opened, and I was engrossed in looking at one symbol after another, but after reading it for a long time, I didn't see anything famous.

I guessed that maybe I was standing in a bad place, because there was a house to cover it, and the moonlight was not enough, so I went farther into the house, found a place where the moonlight was not at all, put the package containing another ancient book on the ground, and sat down.

But it backfired, and after half an hour, I turned from the first page to the last, and still did not find any symbols on the book, which, when combined or divided, did not resemble any words I knew.

In desperation, I had to get up and go back to the house, but when I picked up the package, I remembered that there was another book, so I quickly put the ancient book in my hand back into the package, took out the other one, and sat on the grass on the ground with the package.

When I opened the first page of the ancient book in my hand, the clear moonlight poured down in an instant, all shining on the strange symbols, which began to writhe on the book, and then jumped happily.

I was so shocked that I almost left the ancient book still on the ground.

Suddenly, I felt something in my pocket bumping back and forth, and when I looked down, it turned out to be a willow leaf containing the ghost baby Beibei, probing my brain at the mouth of my coat pocket, as if I was very curious, and I didn't dare to come out.

Crawled out halfway, and quickly retracted, rushing and jumping in his pocket, like a small animal having fun.
