Chapter 44: The Reservoir (II) 1
I was also excited when I made sure there were no magnets on the ground. At least it's down here, and I don't have to look around. The only puzzle is, why is it underground? It occurred to me that the stone that was missing a corner. Could it really be a tombstone? Could it be that this container house is pressed right on top of a grave? And the owner of this tomb has not left yet? Or is it an ownerless soul?
Thinking of this, I hurriedly took out a demon ward off and a ghost repellent. They were attached to the head of my cousin's bed. Turn around and go out the door.
After going out, there were more than a dozen people outside the door, and Master Zhang was among them, presumably after the arrangement. I said to Master Zhang, "You can go to another room and sit in another room for a while, and I have found the reason.
Master Zhang nodded and said, "Then you are busy with yours, you give me the fair scale and sacrifices. I went to deliver the water ghost first.......
My heart itches, to be honest, I really want to see Master Zhang's method of sending water ghosts, but I know that these things can't be observed casually, otherwise there will be suspicion of stealing the teacher. This is also the reason why Master Zhang did not come to the room to disturb me for the first time after he came back, because he also knew that there were some things that he could not see.
Since he brought it up, I couldn't refuse, so I gave him the car keys and asked him to get things to deal with the water ghost himself.
After Master Zhang left, in full view of everyone, I walked to the edge of the stone and looked carefully, the lower part of the stone was yellowed and had a layer of soil. The top was uneven, but there was a large piece, and I looked carefully at the position of the gap, and sure enough, it was a newly chiseled opening, I turned my head and asked Reignwood: "Did you chisel this stone?" ”
"Yes, when I first came, the location of the container was not good, there was a pit over there, it was not very flat, and there were no stones around, this stone stood over there, and it blocked the position, so we pried the stone out and removed it, and made a piece from there to use it as the bottom. What's wrong? Is there something wrong with this stone? Reignwood whispered.
My face sank and I asked, "Did my cousin beat me?" ”
He said, "Yes, is there really something wrong with this stone?" What kind of stone is this? ”
I shook my head and told him with a serious face: "What is good about you, look at the place when you settle down, this is a tombstone, you not only suppressed other people's graves, but also removed other people's tombstones, not only that, but also chiseled the tombstones, it just scared you, it is already very merciful." What is the equivalent of a tombstone for a dead person, that is the gate of the house. Your door was smashed and demolished, can you be comfortable? ”
After listening to me, Reignwood and a few people around him were a little nervous, but Shunzi simply said: "Then this is our fault, disturbing its old man's cleanliness, but we also have no intention, Brother Liu, you see if you can help us explain to it, what needs to be done by us, even if it is proposed, we have nothing to say." ”
I said: "The matter caused by you, you must also participate in the solution, but not now, the most important thing now is that tonight we must first move the container away, we can no longer press its grave mountain, tomorrow you need to prepare a new tombstone, there is no need to engrave any inscriptions, this is also a nameless tomb, in addition to prepare two small pine trees of about three feet and some paper money, yellow paper money, not those hundreds of millions of dead coins." Also, take your trailer and drag a cart of loess over. By the way, it's better to get a suckling pig again. Just a few of these things, you will prepare them tomorrow during the day, and I will do the work at night. ”
Then without waiting for them to speak, I took out the compass and looked at the directions around, and calculated the shade of this flat land, walked to that place, sprinkled a few handfuls of cinnabar incense ash and lit three incense sticks, asked them to move the container house to this position, and then gave Shunzi four talismans, and asked him to stick them in the four directions of the southeast, northwest, and northwest, so that he could be worry-free tonight. Junko nodded, and beckoned someone to move the container house.
The captain of their construction team didn't speak for a while, and after they all left, he said to me: "Master, should you also put some charms on the other room, and can we start work at night?" If we don't start construction, the construction period will definitely not be able to catch up, this time we encounter such a thing, we can only pay out of our own pockets, if the construction period can not catch up, then we are basically busy this trip out of vain. ”
I nodded, indicating that I understood their difficulties, thought for a while and explained to him: "You just have to start work, the other room is fine, this spirit god is not a ghost, it is just protecting its own territory, that room has not touched it, it basically will not make trouble, I sealed that room with a talisman, because my cousin is in it, my cousin chiseled a monument, naturally he will suffer the consequences, he is the object that the spirit god is looking for, as long as he is okay, others are naturally fine." By the way, tell my cousin not to leave the room tonight. ”
The captain sighed and said, "That's good, then I'll go over and help, if you have anything to do, just squeak." ”
I said, "Just do what I say, and prepare a lot of things that have been prepared, and I'll come back tomorrow at ten o'clock in the evening." There is also the honorarium, the senior's share cannot be in arrears, and half of it will be paid tonight. ”
The captain nodded and walked over to help. Look at the way they are scrambling. I couldn't help but fall into deep thought, such a secret tomb, it shouldn't be in recent years, and it was still wearing a shroud, obviously someone was dealing with the aftermath, but why hasn't it left after so many years? What is the purpose of guarding this reservoir? Grave digging will come out to find trouble, apparently this place is its own grave. That means that the consciousness is still there, or it has long become a lonely ghost and drifts with the wind. In this way, what kind of obsession or resentment are there? No, if it's a grudge, it won't be as simple as scaring my cousin.
After thinking about it for a long time, I didn't come up with a reason, so I simply didn't think about it, said hello to them, and prepared to go to Master Zhang, I don't know if he finished sending the water ghost. With a flashlight, I walked towards Master Zhang's position, and vaguely saw that there had been red wax and incense, which was a necessary preparation for the soul-sending ceremony.
When I was about a hundred meters away from Master Zhang, I stopped and didn't go any further, just observed from a distance. Master Zhang also found me, but he didn't say anything, obviously he didn't want me to go over to see, so I found a big rock that was almost far away from the reservoir and sat down. took out a cigarette and waited for Master Zhang to do something while smoking. Of course, I didn't look over, because at such a long distance, there is no light, I can't see anything detailed, I stare just for fear that if there is an accident, I can help, even if I know that Master Zhang basically will not have any accidents, but after all, he is also a **mortal, and he is also old, in case of stepping on the air, it is not impossible to fall into the river.
During this period, I only vaguely saw Master Zhang take a few string-like things and tie them up firmly, and then threw them into the river, and after about three minutes or so, he yelled: Get up. Then I pulled back the fair scale, and I didn't see anything else, and of course, I didn't bother to stare at it.
After waiting for about half an hour, my eyes were a few bigger, and just when I was about to fall asleep, I vaguely saw that Master Zhang's side had extinguished red candles and incense, and only the light from the flashlight came out. I knew it was over, so I quickly got up and trotted all the way over.
When Master Zhang saw me coming, he smiled and said, "It's done, you can help dig a pit and bury this fair scale in the soil." We'll be able to go back.
I answered, took a small shovel brought by Master Zhang, dug a pit and buried the fair scale. After packing everything, Master Zhang and I walked back and prepared to drive back. Of course, before going back, you have to ask for 50% of Master Zhang's remuneration. The captain of the construction team was also thoughtful, and when he saw us going back, he sent the money over and asked about the situation by the way. Master Zhang also explained to him a little, and then took the money in hand, and after saying goodbye, I sent Master Zhang home first.
After getting in the car, Master Zhang and I roughly talked about the water ghost: "The water ghost is a child, and he was also borrowed by the original water ghost. The water ghost has no consciousness at all, and the only thing he does is to find a substitute for the dead ghost to go to reincarnation. It's just that Master Zhang told me that the five elements of the water ghost were prosperous and earthless during his lifetime. So I can only look for people with no water in the five elements, presumably that cousin is also a person without water in the five elements, so it's best not to go to the water's edge to hang around. Otherwise, something will happen later. ”
I said, "Master Zhang, it seems that he has also taken a bath twice before, why didn't he attract water ghosts?" ”
Master Zhang said to me: "This reservoir is big, and the water ghost will squat every day according to a fixed direction. Didn't your master teach you anything about water ghosts? He deals with water ghosts better than me, it's a pity that you don't learn this method."
I blushed and said: "I am more resistant to water ghosts, I don't like that look, and the water ghosts are not easy to deal with, most of them have to be dispersed, and I can't do it." By the way, Master Zhang, what do you use with a fair scale? ”
Master Zhang said: "It doesn't hurt to tell you this, it's used to drop water ghosts, I am not as patient as your master, and I use soul shouting." My method is more direct, the fair scale represents fairness and justice, so the water ghosts will like it very much, if they find a stand-in for fairness and justice, the road to reincarnation will be smoother, I cast a spell and a spell on it, so that it thinks it is a human, it will come and pull, and it will not let go. He couldn't use his strength after he ran into it, I could easily catch it, send it if I could, and break it up if I couldn't. ”
I nodded, pondered for a while while driving, and just as I was about to ask a question about the old man in the black shroud, I found that Master Zhang had fallen asleep, and I also closed my mouth. Sent him home.
The next afternoon, I made a special call to ask Reignwood if those things were ready? He said the tombstones hadn't been shipped yet, but they would be ready by night. I was relieved.
After a long time of dinner, I hurried to the reservoir again. By the time I got there, it was already past nine o'clock, almost ten o'clock. They were all waiting for me in an open space. After seeing me coming, Reignwood walked over with his cousin first and said, "Brother Liu, everything is ready." How to do it, you to arrange. We listen to you. "At this time, my cousin's complexion is much better.
I checked what I needed, found the flattened grave bag first, and then took the compass to confirm its location. After it was determined, a small trailer of loess was directly put on it, protruding out to make a grave bag, and then digging a pit to erect the tombstone. He also moved the original stone to the grave, put the suckling pig and some tributes on it, invited three incense sticks in each of the eight directions around it, and lit a red candle in front of it. Then I took out the yellow paper money, called those who had participated in the movement of containers and tombstones to come and worship and kowtow in turn, and finally when it was my cousin's turn, I told him to kneel three times and kowtow nine times. Burn all the paper money left.
It was already past eleven o'clock after these last night, and I knew all this, and the spirit god saw it in his eyes, it was not bad, and it should not be abnormal when he saw this scene. I told them to stay in the container room and stay silent, with their backs to my position, and they couldn't peek, because once they did, everyone was in danger. <
