Chapter Fifty-Eight: Awakening the Corpse and Summoning the Spirit
The tomb of the seventh uncle and grandfather is a super-large stone mound, a two-meter-high white marble stele, engraved with some so-called great achievements during his lifetime.
Ah Guang was dressed in black, very respectfully handed over three incense sticks, at this time the first step of the drum band and chanting team has been waiting for a long time, someone brought the incense burner, the seventh uncle took the incense and whispered for a long time, put the incense into the incense burner, and then the brick left, at this time Ah Guang waved his hand, the drum music sounded in unison, and the monk began to chant.
Zhang Guozhong is also stupid, I don't know what this seventh uncle thinks, after all, this time is to dig a grave, not a death day, what is this teacher doing? "Seventh Uncle, we will help your ancestors later, so many people are watching, the yang energy is too heavy, which is not conducive to conjuring spirits..."
"Oh..."Uncle Seven also suddenly realized, and went to Ah Guang's root to say a few words, Ah Guang nodded and left, and after a while, the drum band and chanting team were invited away, leaving only more than ten workers. To say that there is money is different, even digging graves, using modern equipment, originally Zhang Guozhong also thought, such a huge stone mound, how to say that it can't be dug up in a day, but I didn't expect that the tinkling machine operation, less than two hours, dug up the coffin.
It has been nearly a hundred years since the workers carried the coffin out of the grave, but due to the excellent feng shui and the exquisite materials, the coffin is basically in good condition. Knock open the coffin with a crowbar, a corpse that is not completely decomposed is presented in front of everyone, to everyone's surprise, although the corpse is seriously decomposed, but it does not stink, and even said, there is no smell at all, just choking fishy, from the clothes of the deceased, it should be the end of the Qing Dynasty when buried, although the bones have short hair, but they are wearing traditional Qing Dynasty clothes.
After examining the bones, Zhang Guozhong and Lao Liu Tou's attention immediately focused on the facial expressions of the bones, only to see that the head, which still had a little flesh and skin, was measured to the side, his mouth was exaggeratedly open, and the expression on his face was painfully distorted.
"That's right, it's captivity." Zhang Guozhong carefully observed the face of the bones, and further affirmed that after a person dies, there will be a special person to change the deceased into a shroud (known as "dressing") and tidy up the remains, especially in a rich and noble family like the seventh uncle and grandfather, it is impossible to let the deceased keep this expression and bury, and also turn his head to the side.
"It's so ruthless... It seems that the rumors are true..."People who don't understand don't feel anything, but an expert like Lao Liu Tou really feels the horror of this evil descent, "After he died... is sentient..."
"What do you mean by that?" Ah Guang is also full of curiosity at the moment, after a person dies, there is still consciousness, isn't this inconsistent?
"After a person's soul leaves the body, there is no concept of time," Zhang Guozhong explained, "and after a person's soul leaves the body, no matter what kind of damage the body is subjected to, it has nothing to do with the soul." But if the soul does not leave the body, there is a concept of time! Uncle Seven's ancestors have been buried for almost a hundred years, that is to say, it is equivalent to putting a living person in a coffin and letting him live in this environment for a hundred years! Zhang Guozhong straightened up, and also felt a chill in his neck, "Not only that, but in this hundred years, he has to bear the pain of his body slowly rotting...!" ”
"You say that his soul feels the destruction of his body like us?" Ah Guang will be skeptical, "Is this the case now?" ”
At this moment, Lao Liu squatted down and looked at it carefully, "This head is the one that came over when we opened the coffin..."
"What did you say?" Ah Guang couldn't believe his ears, and immediately took a closer look at the corpse if it was a freshly dead corpse, it was possible to cheat the corpse, but at this moment, there was already a pair of dry bones in the coffin, how could he move by himself?
It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, this look also gave Ah Guang goosebumps all over his body, only to see that the color of the back of the head part of the corpse bone is different from the side of the face, obviously just turned over, I don't know if it is caused by the shock when the coffin is opened, or it is really like what Lao Liu Tou said.
"Ah Guang, you avoid it..."Old Liu Tou began to dig out the guys one by one from the cloth pocket, "When the soul of your old man is summoned, Guozhong will inform you." ”
In this matter, Zhang Guozhong took out the chisel from the bag and began to gouge holes in the coffin wall, although this coffin is a good material, but after all, it has been buried for nearly a hundred years, and it does not take much effort to chisel, and it will take about ten minutes, and the hole with the thickness of the mouth of the nine wine bottles has been chiseled.
And Lao Liu Tou used incense to insert a circle around the coffin, and deliberately left a gap, and then used the powder of the stone to sparsely sprinkle a layer on the bones, and then put a circle of willow branches around the coffin, and finally Zhang Guozhong took a few steps back, only to see Lao Liu Tou with a piece of incense inserted in the gap of the circle of incense just now, at this time I saw a wind blowing out of the coffin, and the smoke flew out at the same time, and immediately returned to normal.
This is the formation of Maoshan to deal with the corpse, called "Pure Sleep Array", the so-called Pure Sleep, not to let people sleep, but to have the meaning of "let the dead enter the earth for peace", Maoshan Shu believes that the deceased deceived the corpse, because the body of the three souls and seven spirits did not go clean, with this formation can be used to completely flush out of the body of the remaining soul, Zhang Guozhong carved nine holes, called "Yin Xuan", legend of the corpse, most of the reason is that the deceased is unwilling to die and thus have resentment, and this "Yin Xuan" is specially used to release the resentment of the dead soul. And the captivity is a one-time surrender technique, which does not do any harm to people other than those who are in the middle of the surrender, and after being dropped, it is also very easy to break, and the "Pure Sleep Array" is enough.
Lao Liu Tou took out the compass and looked at it, "It's done, Guozhong, you go and call Uncle Seven, I'll recruit you...", Lao Liu Tou took out a small peach wood sword from his bag (if it's not a ghost, use dragon scales to scare away directly...) ), sprinkled a thin layer on the ground with a stone (this is "the way", "Maoshan Shuzhi" said: the soul is yin, and yin can also be yin, which means that the ghost is yin, and he can also be "forced" with yin. )
After a while, the seventh uncle moved over step by step with a crutch with Ah Guang's support, and saw Lao Liu Tou sitting on the ground crying, with a lot of snot and tears, beating his chest and pounding the ground very miserably.
Seeing this, Uncle Seven was also suspicious, waved his hand to signal Ah Guang to step back, walked up to Lao Liu Tou, and asked in Cantonese, but he didn't expect that Lao Liu Tou replied that it was also Cantonese, and his voice changed. didn't say a few words, and the two of them actually cried together. At this point, Zhang Guozhong let go of his heart, if the coffin was dug up, and the soul was not invited, then I really didn't know how to explain to the seventh uncle.
"Uncle Seven... Hurry up and get down to business, this won't last long..."Zhang Guozhong pinched the time, about a minute.
Uncle Seventh suddenly realized this, knelt down in front of Lao Liu Tou with a plop, trembled and kowtowed, and said again, Lao Liu Tou heard it, wiped a handful of tears with his clothes, and made a gesture, and the seventh uncle listened to a lot of snot and tears, and kowtowed several times. At this time, suddenly Lao Liu's eyes rolled, and he immediately became sideways, and he said again, Uncle Seven nodded again and again, but Zhang Guozhong almost laughed when he heard these words, although the last few sentences were also Cantonese, but the voice had changed back to Lao Liu.
After another two minutes, Lao Liu's eyes rolled and he lay on the ground, Uncle Seven hurriedly ordered someone to help Lao Liu's head up, and Ah Guang ran away without a trace, and when Zhang Guozhong was walking towards the car with Lao Liu's head, he met several people carrying a large coffin that exceeded the standard, followed by the drum band and chanting monks just now.
"Rich..."Zhang Guozhong sighed again, even digging graves pays attention to such a one-stop operation to mobilize the public, the coffin in front of him, I am afraid that it will not be able to come down without tens of thousands of yuan, but at this moment, Zhang Guozhong still underestimates the strength of the seventh uncle, and the new coffin in front of him will buy some paint for tens of thousands of yuan...
After waiting in the car for about three or four hours, the tomb was resealed after the French style was completed, and the seventh uncle was helped into the car by Ah Guang tremblingly, and the first thing was to hold Zhang Guozhong's hand, "Zhang Zhangjiao, no, no... Zhang Enren, Liu Enren, what do you want? As long as I'm Liao Qi can afford it! ”
"No, no, we have already received your money, this is what I promised you a long time ago..."Zhang Guozhong was also very embarrassed, the old man in his seventies and eighties nodded to himself, and he always felt uncomfortable.
Returned to the Liao family's ancestral home, according to the guidance of the seventh uncle, three feet underground in a basement, Zhang Guozhong led people to dig up a sealed copper box, after sawing it open, I saw a thick typing paper inside, Chinese, English, and Japanese, the seventh uncle cola, one by one flipping through this dozen land deeds, Tokyo, Kuala Lumpur, Manila, Kowloon, Osaka..." Uncle Seven said excitedly, "My grandfather has a last wish, I hope you two can help me fulfill it."
"Please... Please say..."Zhang Guozhong was stunned, could it be that the dead ghost still wants to make inches?
"I hope you two can accept another 50 million from me. This is my grandfather's last wish, please both of you must agree to me! Although Uncle Seventh looked serious at the moment, he still couldn't hide the excitement revealed in the depths of his skin.
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Guozhong almost laughed, what is his grandfather's last wish, just now in the ancestral tomb of the Liao family, his grandfather just finished talking about the whereabouts of the title deed on the old Liu Tou, and asked the old Liu Tou to leave, the so-called will behind is all said by the old Liu Tou himself, although this old Liu Tou can make do with a few Cantonese words, but the voice has changed back, but the seventh uncle was too into the state at that time, and he didn't hear it...
"I'll call the bank right away!" Uncle Seven was very serious, "You two must accept this money!" My grandfather is so dumbfounded......"
Money, of course, is a good thing, and no one will get along with money. Zhang Guozhong didn't expect that this time he would come to Hong Kong, there would be such a big harvest, he originally planned to earn another 1.8 million, go back to Tianjin to rebuild Tongtian Temple, and then do some small business or something, but he didn't expect that now his wealth has already fought with that prince Hao...
After resting for a few days, Ah Guang helped Zhang Guozhong and Lao Liu Tou convert the bank cashier's check into cash, and then remitted the remaining 50 million yuan directly to Zhang Guozhong and Lao Liu Tou's account in China (a few days after the money was remitted, Uncle Qi received a call from the bank all over the place, and Uncle Seven was also very big, because the financial department in the mainland wanted to understand the use of the money, and in the end Uncle Qi could only make up a "entrusted investment" to settle the matter), and booked a plane ticket to Beijing. At the airport, Uncle Seven did not hesitate to see the two off in person, "The two are the benefactors of my Liao family, come to me Liao Qi if you need anything in the future, as long as I Liao Qi can do it..."
Beijing, Dongsi...
"Excuse me, is Mr. Song here?" Zhang Guozhong and Lao Liu Tou finally found the so-called "No. 29 Kusi Hutong in East Forty Strips" after being hacked and rented out for more than 60 yuan.
"Who?" The door was opened by a young man, who looked like he hadn't graduated from high school at most. "My dad is out, what are you looking for him?"
