I had a thick rope tied around my waist, and the winch slowly lowered it, and it was cold in this well, so that I couldn't help but sneeze a few times, and the rope was still slowly lowering downward, and I couldn't tell how nervous I was at this time. This ancient well is colder than the ancient well on our village. Gradually, I reached the middle, this ancient well is surrounded by stones, the mouth on it is small, but the further down it is, the bigger it becomes, gradually, the sound above is smaller, I seem to have arrived in another world, in the well indescribable quiet, even if my panting sound, is also amplified, but I can hear clearly.

I kept reciting that protective mantra in my heart, hoping to have a protective effect. Slowly, my body was still lowering, and I felt like I was almost at the end. There was no water in this well, I didn't dare to look down, for fear of seeing something terrible, just when I was thinking crankily, suddenly there was a click under my feet, as if some bone had been broken by me, and then I heard a scream in my ears, I quickly looked down, only to see that under my feet was a white bone, that was a human flesh and bones, lying among the rocks, the clothes on it were not rotten, wrapped in the corpse that had become white bones, very weird.

The deceased's skull had been severely injured before his death, and the skull was obviously shattered, which showed that the man was not completely dead at the time, and that he was still struggling to climb into the well before he died, avoiding the corpse parts above. Needless to say, this must be the bones of that woman, if there was a scream just now, Ken Dong was also sent out by that woman, I thought of this, I couldn't help but look at it, the situation in the well, this dry well, far bigger than when you look at it, the ancient wells were dug by manpower, so they will dig very large, after digging the well, they will build up the surrounding area, which is why the ancient wells are generally small at the top and large at the bottom.

At this time, I suddenly saw a person squatting in the well, this person was wearing white clothes, hiding there, as if he was very scared, I looked carefully, this person was the female ghost I saw last night, the female ghost was looking at me with a pitiful face, I quickly said: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't notice just now." ”

At this time, the top of the well shouted again: "Are you the end, Xiaodao chief?" ”

I squeezed upwards and said, "I'm done." ”

The person above said: "Little Dao Chief, when you are done, untie the rope in your waist, so that we can send the old fairy down again." ”

When I heard this, I quickly untied the rope in my waist, and when I looked into the well again, I found that the female ghost in the well had disappeared, and I wanted to open my eyes to see the female ghost, but after thinking about it, I still didn't look at it, and I would feel uncomfortable after seeing it. At this time, the winch above creaked, I looked up, and saw the master coming down from the well, and after the master came down, he patted me on the shoulder and said, "Are you afraid to come down first?" ”

I shook my head and said, "Master, I'm not afraid. ”

Master nodded and said, "It's good not to be afraid, think about the deceased is also a poor person, dying in a dry well is already a great misfortune, we come down to let the deceased go up and see the light of day again, the deceased will not hurt you." ”

I nodded, and then Master took out a white cloth from his bosom and spread it in a flat place, and I said, "Master, what are you doing here, old man?" ”

Master said, "We came down to pick up the bones of the deceased, and I wrapped the bones with this white cloth." ”

I nodded, and Master continued, "Be bold, you remember, there are rules for picking up bones, and it is very important to pick up bones and move graves. As the saying goes: Entering the ground is safe, breaking the ground is fierce. Picking up bones and moving graves is like the second reincarnation of the ancestors, so we must be cautious and treat it carefully, and pick up bones, also known as picking up gold, as the name suggests, gold is precious, and it must be picked up completely, placed completely, clean and bright, such as the law into the burial, indispensable omission. Once lost, the consequences are serious. The bones of the hands and feet and kneecaps of the remains must be placed according to the normal physiological structure, and must not be turned forward, backward, left, right, and right. Otherwise, it will be like a man whose hands and feet are bound and who kneel on his knees, and his descendants will surely be unlucky, and he will not be able to prosper and make a fortune. When picking up bones, the first thing to pick up is the hand bones of the ancestors, which means that handshakes politely; The second implies the meaning of pulling the ancestors out of the tomb. Then pick up the bones from the skull to the foot bones in turn, clean the holy water, connect the veins with the red pen, and put it into the burial. However, there is another one, which is to raise bones during the day, and it needs to be shaded and not allowed to shine in direct sunlight, so as not to scatter the soul of the deceased. ”

After listening to this, I nodded and said, "Master, I remember." ”

The Master then said, "When you pick up the bones, there are mantras, first recite the mantra to appease the deceased, then spray a sip of wine on the bones, and then pick up the bones one by one according to the method I said. ”

After finishing speaking, he cleared his throat and said loudly: "People are connected by arrows and flesh, and the underworld walks around; was reborn in the west, and the forced paradise became an immortal. Leave the bones in the bag, and the auspicious purple clouds surround Zhu Xuan. The head is the head and the feet are the feet, and the head and feet are all left in the limbs. Heart, liver, spleen, stomach, intestines, kidneys, lungs, five internal organs, six internal organs, their own round. The circle is full of housewarming, and the family has been blessed for thousands of years. ”

After finishing speaking, he took the wine gourd from his waist and sprayed it on the bones, the white bones really changed color, the master tidied up his clothes, his face was serious, he slowly squatted down, and began to pick up the bones, first put the hand bones on the white cloth, and then walked in turn, picking up the bones was very slow, the master was meticulous there, and it took a lot of effort to slowly pick up all the bones. The Master said to the dry bones, "Bear with me, I'll tie you up with a white cloth and take you up." ”

As he spoke, he slowly wrapped the white cloth, and after making it strong, tied it to the rope, and slowly pulled the dry bones up, and we were then pulled up, and after going up, Li Wanjin hurriedly stepped forward to thank him, and the master said: "This matter is not over yet, and then you have to wash the bones with holy water, and then you can be buried, if you want your family to be peaceful, you have to be a filial son, and lead out of the coffin." ”

Li Wanjin hurriedly nodded and said, "It should be, it should be." ”

The master said, "Now let's start decorating the funeral, please find a basin of clean water, I will help the deceased wash the bones, wash away those grievances, and then bury them in the coffin." ”

Li Wanjin hurriedly asked people to get clean water, and after the water came, the master washed the bones while reciting the incantation, and the first one to wash was the skull, and while washing, he said: "The beginning is light, bright, and the eight treasures of incense are on the top of the head." Open your eyes and look at the West, Elysium is home. Open the slap, smell the ten directions, the immeasurable heavenly venerable king of the law. Open the nose light, smell the wonderful fragrance, and smoke the ten thousand methods to cultivate the meeting light. Open the mouth light, eat fasting incense, and do not make enemies with animals. Happy light, manifest phase, ten thousand laws are harmonious and auspicious. Open your hands, grab money and food, and run to the West with lotus flowers in your hands. Open the footlight, on the lotus platform, all the saints lead to Dengle Bang. ”

After washing, the deceased was slowly put into the coffin, in fact, the fire dwelling road at that time was a combination of Taoism, Buddhism, feng shui Mr., and even the jumping god, for the burial of the dead, every step is a spell, although now for the fire dwelling road, still do not admit it, but back then, the fire dwelling Taoist, absolutely a generalist, the master is such a person, when he helped the dead into the burial, chanted: "Leave the old house to live in the new house, the dead die and go to the West." There are jade pillars in the sky and beams in the ground, and life and death are stable and prosperous. Ascend to the Bliss Correction Fruit early, and bury the descendants of great auspiciousness. ”

After the funeral was completed, Li Wanjin asked the master to eat, and the master shook his head and said, "You can't eat first, the burial of the deceased has to be carried out today, I will go to find a blessed land first, and then come back for dinner after the burial is completed." ”

After the master finished speaking, he asked people to lead them to the Li family's land to find a place to be buried, this Li family is really a big family, and the land can't be seen, at that time, the most precious thing is the land, the small landlords on the village, the land is saved from between the teeth, saving money to buy land, has always done this. It can be said that the life of the small landlords at that time was not much better than ours, and although there was food, they were still reluctant to eat and drink.

We looked for a while, and the master pointed to a piece and said, "This piece of land is good, let's draw soil and open holes here." ”

I looked at the terrain, this terrain is really good, the back and the left and right sides are tall, the front is open, and it looks like a feng shui land.
