Chapter 13: Opening the Coffin (I)
After returning to Yizhuang, Wen Cai was inevitably reprimanded by Uncle Jiu, but this guy seemed to be accustomed to Uncle Jiu's admonition of thunder and rain. And after this period of observation, Ye Sen found that almost every two or three days, it was either Wencai or Qiusheng, these two guys always had to make some small mistakes and be severely criticized by Uncle Jiu, which seemed to have become a common practice, not only Wencai and the two were used to it, but even Uncle Jiu was used to it.
Three days later, on a small hillside outside Renjia Town, Uncle Jiu, dressed in an apricot yellow robe, took Ye Sen, Wencai, Qiusheng and Master Ren's family to the grave of Old Lady Ren.
Set up the incense case, offer three livestock and six animals, presided over by the ninth uncle to read the sacrificial text, burn the gold paper, and wait for the father and daughter of the Ren family to bow to the incense, the ninth uncle said to Ren Fa beside him with a serious face, "Master Ren, the poor road is asking you one last time, are you sure you really want to move the coffin to the burial?" ”
Ren Fa nodded, and said with a firm face, "Uncle Jiu, you don't need to persuade anymore, I have made up my mind, and I must be buried today." Twenty years later, that is, this year, the coffin must be moved to the burial, and the old man's home must be replaced with another place to live. So, Uncle Nine will ask you today! ”
"Alas!" Uncle Nine sighed and said, "Okay, since Master Ren insists, then the poor Dao has no choice but to obey the order!" ”
"Then thank you Uncle Nine!" Ren Fa arched his hand with a grateful face
"Master Ren doesn't have to be like this, then taking people's money and eliminating disasters with others is a matter of poverty! It's just that I'm afraid that my ability is limited, and I can't help Master Ren too much! ”
After saying that, Uncle Nine turned his head to look at the surrounding mountains again, and a thick look of worry appeared on his face from time to time. Ren Fa is an old man, he has been in the shopping mall for most of his life, and his ability to observe words and colors is absolutely first-class, after seeing Uncle Jiu's expression, he couldn't help but ask, "Uncle Jiu, when I looked at feng shui, I said that this land is a good treasure land, it is difficult to find, it stands to reason that it should not be a bad thing to be buried here by family law, why has Uncle Nine been so worried?" ”
Uncle Nine shook his head and said, "Yes, this place is indeed a rare treasure land, according to Feng Shui, its name is called dragonfly water!" Definitely a great piece of good luck. The length of the hole is three zhang and four feet, and only three feet wide is useful, so the pipe cannot be buried flat, and it must be buried! ”
"Amazing, Uncle Nine!" Ren Fa was amazed when he heard this.
Just when Uncle Nine felt slightly proud, Wencai, who looked curious about the baby's color, suddenly said, "Master, what is a legal burial!" Is it a French funeral? ”
Uncle Jiu's face darkened when he heard this, he glared at Wen Cai fiercely, and said angrily, "Wen Cai, shut up!" ”
Seeing that Uncle Jiu's face was embarrassed, Ye Sen's heart moved, and he said, "The so-called legal burial in Feng Shui is actually a vertical burial!" I don't know if I'm right, Uncle Nine? ”
"Not bad!" Uncle Nine glanced at Ye Sen approvingly, and then explained to everyone, "The Book of Burial" clouds: "The auspicious burial of the murderer is the same as the abandoned corpse." To find the true dragon and true cave, you still need to bury it, which can be blessed, otherwise you will suffer a disaster. The cave of the legal burial is deeper, and the coffin head must be erected, and the head of the deceased is placed downward, implying that the dragonfly points to the water, and both ends are taken into account. ”
"Uncle Nine is very capable!" Ren Fa said with admiration on his face, "The person who watched feng shui said that the ancestors were buried vertically, and the descendants must be great!" ”
Uncle Nine smiled and said with a little sarcasm, "What about the spirit?" ”
"This..."Ren Fa shook his head with a bitter face, gritted his teeth and said, "It's not a secret, our Ren family's business has been getting worse and worse in the past twenty years, I don't know why?" I suspect that it may have something to do with my father's burial place, so I have insisted on moving the coffin to the funeral, in order to transfer gas and make the family's business better. ”
After hearing this, Uncle Nine pondered for a moment, and suddenly said in a shocking voice, "I see, that feng shui gentleman has a grudge against your family!" ”
"There's a feud, won't it?" Ren Fa said with a shocked face
"The proverb says, the law is buried in it, and there is no murder in Yongji! The method of legal burial, as long as it is done properly, can definitely protect future generations. If there is no enmity, then how can he harm you? Speaking of this, Uncle Nine said tentatively, "Master Ren, does that feng shui gentleman have any holiday with your Ren family?" ”
Ren Fa's face suddenly became very ugly when he heard this, and he hesitated for a while before sighing, "This land originally belonged to Mr. Feng Shui, and my father knew that it was a good hole, so he simply spent money to buy him!" ”
Uncle Nine asked, "It's just an inducement, no coercion?" Ren Fa shook his head and said silently, and Uncle Nine said clearly, "I think it must be coercive, otherwise Mr. Feng Shui would never be so vicious and ask you to cover the ashes on the grave!" The ash is a dead thing, and if you cover it with ash, you can't get together, and the tomb can't be nourished by the aura, how can you bless future generations? ”
"So what should I do?"
"It should be covered with snowflakes, so that dragonflies can be called water! The best way is to use a very heavy lime powder to directly cover to isolate the yang energy, which is exactly the so-called, dragonflies point to water, snowflakes to cover the top. The worst should be covered with loess, so that the coffin head can touch the aura in the water! Speaking of this, Uncle Nine said ugly, "Now the ash has been covered for 20 years, and the owner of the tomb has endured 20 years of torture, and now the coffin is probably not a good thing!" ”
Ren Fa was shocked, grabbed Uncle Jiu's shoulder and said, "Uncle Jiu, you must save our Ren family and save my father!" What do you need, you say, as long as you can do it, you must obey it! ”
Uncle Nine sighed and said, "Master Ren doesn't have to be like this! Since Poor Dao has promised you, he will definitely not sit idly by! Now that there is nothing else, let's get up the coffin first! Only when you see the specific situation in person can you make the next arrangement! ”
"Good, good! Raise the coffin, raise the coffin! Ren Fa hurriedly agreed, then turned around and said loudly, "Didn't you hear Uncle Nine's words?" Get moving! Lift the coffin! ”
At the urging of Master Ren, the family members and hired workers of the Ren family piled up the tombstones, picked up shovels, pickaxes and other tools and began to dig graves. With the concerted efforts of everyone, after about an hour, the coffin of the old lady Ren was finally dug out of the grave.
"Loosen the rope, nail it!" Uncle Nine circled around the coffin, and after observing it carefully, he turned to everyone and said, "Everyone, today is the time for Ren Gongwei to see the light of day again, everyone, age thirty-six, twenty-two, thirty-five, and forty-eight chickens and cows, please turn around and avoid!" ”
When everyone heard this, they exchanged their heads and ears, and all the people in the crowd who were told the age of Uncle Jiu slowly turned around. After a while, after finding that there was no problem, Uncle Nine gave the order, "After the avoidance, everyone tidy up their clothes and open the coffin!" ”
As soon as Uncle Jiu's words fell, just as everyone was approaching the coffin, a bleak cry of birds suddenly came from the woods in the distance. When everyone heard the voice, they saw a large flock of crows flying in front of them...
