Chapter 67: Meritorious Masters

"Okay, I'll let these boys work harder," Mr. Yu nodded to my master, and then he turned around and urged those Yu disciples again.

"Jiang Daochang said, we must get out of the grave of our ancestor before twelve o'clock at noon, as long as you work hard, I will add a hundred yuan to each of you today" Mr. Yu shouted at the group of young people, Mr. Yu's trick is to have a brave man under the heavy reward, but the interest of that group of young people is not high, this group of young people don't care about the hundred yuan at all, they would rather lie at home and play on the phone than come out to dig the grave under the sun.

"Master, I'll go and help them," I said to Master, and then rolled up the sleeves of my clothes, and prepared to use the shovels on the ground to help dig the graves, because I really don't look down on this group of young people, they are not as good as those old ladies in our village, and some of them are holding shovels and pretending to be there and don't have to do anything at all.

"Stinky boy, you're idle and have nothing to do, aren't you?" said the master as he raised his leg and kicked me in the ass.

"They're doing it too slowly," I said with a red face as I looked at Master, but Master just glared at me and said nothing, so he didn't step forward to help stand beside Master and watch the group dig graves.

"Dig, dig, dig" At this time, a young man shouted excitedly, and it was already past eleven o'clock at noon.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way, I'll take a look" Mr. Yu wiped the sweat on his forehead with a handkerchief, and at the same time pulled the group of people aside with his hands and squeezed them forward to watch, at this time Master and I also walked over.

"Master, it stands to reason that this old ancestor of their family has been dead for more than three hundred years, and the coffin should have rotted a long time ago, you see that the coffin is still in good condition, what is going on" I asked Master, pointing to the lid of the coffin covered with dirt.

"This is normal, if a person is buried in a good feng shui treasure land, his coffin is not easy to decay, take the tomb of Xu Da, the king of Zhongshan, for example, one is because his coffin is made of high-quality golden silk nan wood, and the other is because the feng shui position where he is buried is better, so there is no decay, this coffin is made of yellow flower pine, it stands to reason that it should have rotted a long time ago, but the feng shui place where he buried it is the best place for these two mountains, so the coffin is not easy to decay, if I guess correctly, the body in the coffin is not rottenMaster looked directly at the yellow pine coffin lid and said to me.

"Is there another zombie?" I muttered nervously, looking at the coffin.

"Don't talk nonsense, this old ancestor is dying at the end of his life, he has no resentment, he will not become a zombie, if the pharmacist becomes a zombie, there will be a strong fishy smell coming out of the coffin" Master glanced at me and said.

"Master, it stands to reason that the King of Zhongshan also died of illness, which can be regarded as the end of his life, why did he have resentment when he died?" I asked the master puzzled.

"This is a long time, Zhu Yuanzhang is both a Ming monarch and a tyrant, and those loyal ministers who followed him to fight the world were all executed by him on trumped-up charges, the biggest two of which were Hu Weiyong's case and Lan Yu's case, when Hu Weiyong was the prime minister of Zuo, Lan Yu was a meritorious general, and was named the Duke of Liangguo. Both of them were punished by Zhu Yuanzhang for the Nine Clans. Let's talk about Xu Da, the king of Zhongshan, Xu Da got dorsal gangrene when he stayed in Beiping, and soon it was slightly better, and the back gangrene was the most taboo goose, at that time Zhu Yuanzhang gave Xu Da a steamed goose, Xu Da also knew what Zhu Yuanzhang meant, if he didn't eat it, it would be against the holy will, so Xu Da ate the steamed goose, only when he died his descendants were saved from the house of the exterminating clan, did you say that he died unjustly, Zhu Yuanzhang executed those loyal ministers who followed him to fight the world was also afraid that they would take his throne in the future. Because Zhu Yuanzhang likes to be suspicious" Master said to me faintly, after listening to Master's words, I nodded thoughtfully, I have also read this wild history on the Internet, and I was not sure whether this matter was true or false at that time, and when I heard Master say this, I think this matter is true.

"Jiang Daochang is really talented," Mr. Yu said after hearing this, patting the master's ass in front of the master.

"Mr. Yu has won the award, I just like to study Chinese history and culture," Master stroked his long beard and smiled at Mr.

After more than 20 minutes, the yellow pine coffin of the ancestor of the Yu family was completely dug up, and the yellow pine coffin was very well preserved, without a trace of decay.

"Chief Jiang, what should we do next?" Mr. Yu asked, pointing to the yellow pine coffin and asking my master.

"It's not too early, let's stop here today, let everyone stop for a while, and open this yellow pine coffin of your ancestor first," the master said lightly to that Mr. Yu.

"Okay," Mr. Yu nodded to his master in response, and then he summoned the descendants of the Yu family to come over and open the coffin.

"All those who belong to dogs, chickens, pigs, and whose birthdays are on the first day of the lunar calendar, and those who are fifteen turn their backs to the coffin, so as not to rush when the coffin is opened," Master exhorted the young people in a loud voice.

As soon as the master finished saying this, the fifteenth or sixteenth person turned around, and this time they obeyed the master's words, because they also believed in their hearts that the master was a Taoist priest with real skills, and they also had some superstitions in their hearts.

"Okay, Mr. Yu, now you can open the coffin," the master nodded to him.

"Xiao Wu, you take someone down to open the coffin, you must be careful for me," Mr. Yu instructed the one named Xiao Wu.

"I know, third uncle, don't worry," Xiao Wu said this, and beckoned six or seven people to jump down and pick up the coffin nails and prepare to open the coffin.

"Bang, bang, bang......" Xiao Wu led people to lift all the seven coffin nails on the coffin.

"Master, why are there seven nails on the coffin instead of eight?" I asked Master, puzzled.

"Coffin nails are also called town nails, town nails to use seven nails, commonly known as "descendants of nails", it is said to make children and grandchildren prosperous, do you know why the general coffin has to choose pine? After answering me, Master asked me again.

"I really don't know this, so why choose pine?" I asked Master suspiciously.

"There is a saying that you must have heard of "Shoubi Nanshan Immortal Pine": "Master asked me.

"Well, this is a birthday greeting, of course I've heard it," I nodded and replied.

"Coffins are generally made of pine, that is because pine symbolizes longevity and also means the health and longevity of future generations, the most taboo to make coffins with cypress and willow, because willow does not bear seeds, using willow to make coffins symbolizes the cut off of offspring. Some places also use cypress wood to make coffins, but you have to mix some cedar wood, and it is said that if you use cypress wood to make a coffin completely, you will be struck by lightning," Master explained to me, and after listening to Master's words, I felt like I had a feeling of being sudden, and I didn't expect the coffin to say that.
