The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, turned his head and glanced at me, and asked me, "How do you collect it?" ”

I didn't answer his question, but looked around, behind me was the Yan Tower, in front of me was an empty square, about two hundred meters away were stilted buildings, I looked at the Yan Tower, and then looked at the stilted buildings, and began to measure the height of the two in my heart. To tell the truth, the height of the two is difficult to measure, one is a little far away, the two are close in height, and the other is the stilted building on the mountainside, and it is difficult to detect which of the two is taller with the naked eye.

When the middle-aged man saw that I didn't speak, he asked Chen Tiannan: "Brother Tian, what's the matter?" ”

Chen Tiannan stopped at him and motioned for him not to speak.

"Tiannan, do you think the Yan Tower is as tall as the stilted building?" I pointed to the stilted building not far away.

He was stunned, as if he didn't expect me to ask him this, so he said, "What's the difference?" ”

I thought for a moment and said, "The difference is big, Mengke's death has a lot to do with these swallows, and her funeral may use the ashes of the swallows." According to the terrain in front of them, these swallows can't be put away with fishing nets indiscriminately, they need to be collected in the way of Qixing Pro Bagua, and then the swallows are burned with green fire, and the ashes of three coins and three swallows are taken into the coffin, so as to ensure that Mengke has a good life in the underworld and can have a good background in the next life. ”

He nodded thoughtfully and asked, "What does that have to do with the height of the Yan Tower?" ”

"If the Yan Tower is higher than the stilted building, the center is the Yan Tower, you need to use the way of the Nine Stars Pro Bagua, if the stilted building is higher than the Yan Tower, the main trunk is those stilted buildings, in this way, the swallows will be collected in the way of the Seven Stars Pro Bagua." I say.

He didn't seem to understand what I was saying, and was about to speak, but I was afraid that he would ask endlessly, so I quickly interrupted him and said, "Just look at which one is higher." ”

Hearing this, he looked at the Yan Pagoda and then at the stilted building, and said, "It seems that the Yan Pagoda is higher." ”

"No, how do I think the stilted building is higher." The middle-aged man with the fishing net interjected.

As soon as I heard their words, I was slightly stunned, and asked other people's opinions, and they gave me two answers, some people said that the Yan tower was high, and some people said that the stilted building was high, which made me not know which one was high, and there was no way, who made the two about the same height.

At this moment, Joyce's voice came, and she said, "Ninth Master, don't ask, the Yan Tower is 1.48 centimeters taller than the tallest stilted building. ”

As soon as I heard this, I turned my head to look back, and saw that Joyce was helped down by Wang Chuyao, her face was a little pale, and she was walking in our direction.

I asked her what was wrong, and she said that she was not worried about me, so she came down to take a look. I asked her how she knew that the Yan Pagoda was 1.48 centimeters higher than the stilted building, and she said that when the old witch built the Yan Pagoda, she measured the height and was 1.48 centimeters high.

After listening to her words, I thought for a while, and was about to speak, she spoke again, she said, "By the way, Ninth Master, when Daoist Qingxuanzi is leaving, let me pass on a message to you." ”

"What?" I asked.

She said: "Qing Xuanzi said that Su Su's corpse has been humiliated many times, and she has experienced a yin marriage, and she is immortal, which is against the peace of heaven, and her corpse may be disliked by God. ”

"Disliked by God? What do you mean? "I didn't understand what she meant.

She sighed and said, "I asked the aisleman, and he only said six words, and there was no place to bury him. The last six words, she said word by word.

Hearing this, my whole person was stunned, and there was no place to bury me? This kind of thing generally appears in the most vicious people, such as Qin Hui in the Southern Song Dynasty, it is said that after his death, there is no place to bury, and in the end his descendants have no choice but to use some methods to dispose of his body again, and then bury it in the ground.

Compared with Qin Hui, how does Su Mengke look like a fierce person? If her body is really dead and has no place to be buried, what is the reason in this world? What's fair?

Seeing that I was stunned, Joyce spoke again, she said: "Regarding the Taoist chief's statement, I heard my grandmother say, she told me that after death, people should obey the destiny of heaven and enter the earth for peace, if they do not enter the earth for a long time, it will make the land lord dislike, and the old witch used the yin marriage to take away the original luck of Su Su, plus Su Su is actually just a human skin, so..., Su Su may really have no place to be buried." ”

"Fart, there is no place to bury shit, the world is so big, I don't believe that Mengke can't be buried." I got a little angry and yelled at Joyce.

Although he said this verbally, in fact, he felt uncomfortable to die, and what Joyce said was true, if a person's body was not buried for a long time, coupled with the previous incident, something strange would definitely happen, but I never thought that there would be no place to die. I had planned to use the wind burial because I was afraid that something would happen to Mengke's funeral, but now when I heard Joyce say this, I was a little worried, and I was worried not about the wind burial, but about the six words "no place to bury".

"Ninth Master, I know you can't accept this fact, but some things are like this, and we can't resist." Joyce spoke.

I didn't speak, but walked over to the old witch's corpse, looked at the swallows on her, and then at the fishing nets in the hands of the middle-aged man. If Monko really dies and has no place to bury, she must put the ashes of those swallows in her coffin. As for the reason, it is very simple, those swallows are inextricably linked to Su Mengke, and putting in their ashes can ensure that Su Mengke lives well in the underworld.

At that moment, I asked Chen Tiannan to find fifteen stones for me, and asked the middle-aged man to buckle fifteen fist-sized holes in the fishing net.

After arranging all this, I squatted down in front of the old witch's corpse, and I had been struggling with one thing in my heart, if I collected this group of swallows with a fishing net, it would inevitably disturb the old witch's corpse, and there was a suspicion of disturbing the dead. However, if you don't accept this group of swallows in the way of Qixinglin's gossip, Mengke's funeral will definitely be strange, and it will really appear as Qing Xuanzi said, and there is no place to bury him.

After thinking about it for a while, I didn't have a bottom in my heart, so I took out the yin and yang hexagram, intending to throw the hexagram and ask the deceased about the meaning.

So, I knelt down at the old witch's corpse, kowtowed three times, and said, "Aunt Lian, I know that you have woken up before you die, and today, the boy has something to ask you to make clear. ”

As I spoke, I kowtowed three more times to the old witch's corpse, and continued: "Mengke's death has a great connection with you, to Yanzi, and to me. Therefore, Mengke's funeral may be strange, and even there is no place to bury, the kid dares to ask you, can you use the way to collect birds for you to drive away these swallows, and then take three coins and three swallow ashes often accompany Mengke's side, in order to make the funeral go smoothly, if you know from the spring, I hope you will always look at Mengke's filial piety to you for many years, allow the boy's behavior, and the boy will bury your old body. ”

After speaking, I took three breaths on the yin-yang hexagram, and then threw the yin-yang hexagram towards the ground, showing the treasure hexagram.

I was overjoyed, the treasure hexagram said that the old witch agreed with my approach, I was afraid that this treasure hexagram was just a moment of luck, and said the previous words again, and threw the yin and yang hexagram again, showing that it was still the treasure hexagram.

I lost the yin and yang hexagram three times in a row, and the treasure hexagram was displayed again and again, which made me breathe a sigh of relief.

Then I began to prepare for the birds, and I can only apologize for the swallows that gnawed at the old witch's corpse. Speaking of affirmation here, some people will definitely say that they should respect the dead and not defile the corpse of the deceased, so why let those swallows gnaw on the corpse of the old witch now.

I have already asked this question, and the deceased agreed to do so, and besides, there is only one procedure between collecting birds and immediately driving away the swallows, and the difference between this is not long.

Seeing that I was preparing to collect the birds, Joyce hesitated for a moment and said, "Ninth Master, I found that you have changed. ”

I didn't understand what she meant, and threw her a puzzled look.

She smiled and said, "You have become smarter, less stubborn than before, and you have begun to know how to consider the interests of those around you." ”

I knew what she meant, she was talking about Su Mengke, I smiled bitterly and said to her: "If the hexagram shows a yin hexagram or a yang hexagram, I will respect the wishes of the deceased and immediately drive away the group of swallows. ”

As soon as she finished speaking, the smile on her face stopped, and she glared at me viciously, "Stubborn, I don't know how to be flexible." ”

I didn't speak, I didn't know what to say, so I smiled apologetically at her, not dwelling on the issue.

At this moment, Chen Tiannan found fifteen stones and handed them to me, and asked me, "Brother Jiu, why are you looking for these stones?" ”

"Array!" I whispered two words.

"Array?" He looked overjoyed and said, "Is it a special bull fork formation, quickly teach it to me, and you can take it out and pretend/force it in the future." ”

I glared at him, ignored him, but looked at the stones in my hand, these stones are the size of the thumb and about the same size, presumably Chen Tiannan carefully selected the stones when he was picking them.

Afterwards, I picked eight slightly larger stones and began to lay out the Seven Stars Bagua Array. Speaking of this kind of formation, it is actually very simple, it is to connect the seven stars and the eight trigrams, in the local dialect of our eight immortals, this formation is called the Great Tour Year, which is a kind of formation before the funeral, its purpose is to drive away some bad luck, take the righteousness between heaven and earth, so that the whole funeral can go smoothly.

For the funeral of many people who died in vain, a similar formation will be arranged in the hall before the coffin enters the hall. However, up to now, that formation has basically been ignored, and it has been replaced by a Taoist priest casually reciting a few so-called incantations.

And I set up the seven stars in the square gossip, its purpose is a little different from the funeral, I set up this array is to remove the anger and bad luck on the swallows, and then take the righteousness on their bodies, this formation is to put it bluntly, it is to play the role of a filter, and eliminate the bad things.

The layout process of this formation is also very simple, first use eight stones to lay down the Bagua array around the old witch's body, and then use six stones to start from the Yan Tower, lay down the Big Dipper Seven Star Array, and in the middle of the two formations, put another stone, this stone needs to be wrapped in yellow paper, and then dig a small hole to cover up the stone, which means that it is safe to enter the ground.

Since the square was concrete, it was obviously impossible to dig a hole, so I found a pile of slightly larger stones to form a small pit and put the stones into the pit.
