Wang Shoudao still smiled, and said to the man: "If you don't want to do anything, just go to Xiaoqingshan to dig a dead man, you can rest assured, you are now possessed by the Yang God of Liujia, and you can't get close to any evil things, as long as you listen to me, there is nothing to do, and after the dead man is dug out, you can go home safely with the silver, if you want to leave now, it will be a death, you can think about it......"
As soon as several people heard Wang Shoudao's words, they all shouted that they were fooled, but there was no way, on the one hand, the temptation of the fifty taels of silver, and on the other hand, the threat of the Liujia Yang God, they could only agree to it. However, according to my estimate, they must have scolded the Cai Mansion in their hearts, including Wang Shoudao and my great-grandfather.
Before leaving, Wang Shoudao solemnly explained two things to Cai Wenye: first, immediately find a "soil worker" to build the grave pit in the cave field that he and my great-grandfather chose in the north of the city during the day; Second, Miss Cai can't sleep tonight, so she has to dress up and wait for them to come back in the hall.
Cai Wenye was already very convinced of Wang Shoudao at this time, and hurriedly nodded in agreement.
How Cai Wenye will next instruct the housekeeper Cai Zhang to find a "soil worker" to dig a grave pit, and let the maid go to the attic to call Miss Cai, we will not go into details.
At this time, I only talked about my great-grandfather and Wang Shoudao. Wang Shoudao instructed my great-grandfather to bring the bowl of unused chicken blood and the seven-foot-long and four-foot-wide black cloth that he had prepared before, and then instructed the five boys to take some tools for digging pits.
There was nothing to say on the road, and half an hour later, the carriage arrived at the foot of Xiaoqingshan Mountain. There are no stars and no moon in the sky, the whole Xiaoqingshan is not only silent, but also pitch black, and this is full of cemeteries, and there are no less than 100 graves all over the mountains, which may be psychological, in addition to my great-grandfather and Wang Shoudao, the other five boys, including a few coachmen, are all terrified.
After getting out of the carriage, Wang Shoudao saw that the five boys were a little timid when they shrank their heads and brains, so they boosted the morale of the five people. Wang Shoudao's rhetoric to boost morale is nothing more than fifty taels of silver, possessed by the Yang God of Liujia, all evils are not invaded, this dead man is accumulating yin virtue for himself, and there will be good rewards in the future, etc.
In fact, most of these words are fooling people, just like sticking the Liujia amulet before, just because they dug the tomb at night and had a heavy yin qi, afraid that after they dug up the tomb, they would be rushed by the yin qi inside. The god of Rokko belongs to the yang god, and the yang energy is extremely heavy, plus they are all children's bodies, and they have yang energy to protect their bodies, so there will be no problems digging up male corpses at night. If they left the Cai family at that time, they would be punished by the gods of Liujia, it was purely to scare them, and if they insisted on leaving when they were in the Cai Mansion, Wang Shoudao really had no way to deal with them.
Wang Shoudao fooled a few people, and the morale was boosted. My great-grandfather carried him on his back, and the two of them walked in the front, followed by the other five with application items.
Soon, a few people came to the small stone bag that I had seen during the day, after my great-grandfather put Wang Shoudao down, Wang Shoudao asked for the bowl of chicken blood from a boy's hand, tilted the bowl mouth, and poured chicken blood on the ground while walking, and after circling around the stone bag, the bowl of chicken blood in his hand happened to be poured clean by him.
Pouring chicken blood is also a kind of suppression of yin qi in the tomb, when many of our families move to the ancestral grave, they will occasionally use chicken blood to flush it, some are flushing bad luck, some are flushing yin qi, and now most of them are rushing bad luck, in fact, there is nothing to pay attention to, just ask for a psychological comfort.
After Wang Shoudao poured out the chicken blood, he slammed the bowl on the stone bag, and at the same time that the porcelain bowl was torn apart, he waved his hand at the five boys and shouted: "Do it, dig!" ”
Wang Shoudao gave an order, but several boys hesitated, take the tools you look at me, I look at you, one by one cringe, at this time, my great-grandfather snatched the tools in the hands of one of the boys, and the first one dug up on the stone bag.
After my great-grandfather dug a few times, the other people saw that there was nothing wrong, and their courage immediately strengthened a lot, and then they followed the round guy and dug it up.
This small green mountain is actually not big, the radius is about three or four miles, the height may be less than 100 meters, the visual inspection is like this, because it is too small, there is no specific data statistics in the place, in fact, it is not appropriate to say that it is a "mountain", it is very appropriate to call it "Ling", but the locals are Xiaoqingshan Xiaoqingshan called so.
The soil quality of this small green mountain is very special, it belongs to the mixed soil and stones, and it is not completely petrified, otherwise it is difficult for ordinary people to do it by digging a grave pit here, relying on those simple tools in ancient times in the past.
The grave pit of the flower protector is not deep, just imagine how deep the grave pit can be for the enemy, it is only about three feet, that is, about one meter, the top is paved with gravel, and the bottom is the soil, which is easy to dig up.
My great-grandfather, with five other boys, dug up the stone bag in less than half an hour.
At this time, Wang Shoudao lit the lantern he brought, and held the lantern to shine inside.
There was no coffin under the stone bag, just a rotten straw mat wrapped around a person, and at this time the straw mat was rotten and unshaped, like a layer of dung on the corpse.
Maybe because of the soil problem, the corpse is still well preserved, it has become a dry corpse, the clothes on the body are almost rotten, I can't see any style, the whole body is purple-black, at first glance, it looks like air-dried bacon, a shriveled pair of skin bags wraps a bone frame, limb bones, ribs, etc., one by one is clearly visible.
In the lower abdomen of the corpse, there was a fist-sized hole in the shriveled flesh, and a small amount of plant rhizomes and other residues could be faintly seen from the outside, but it had already withered, and it was probably from here that the wild flower had grown.
The most terrifying thing about the whole male corpse is the head, a layer of dry skin is close to a skull, the nose is gone, there are two small black spots the size of soybeans left, there are only two black skins left on the lips, the teeth inside are white and sensen, the eyeballs have collapsed, the eyelids are close to the eye sockets, just like the layer of skin spit out after eating purple grapes, and the whole head looks disgusting and terrifying.
When one of the boys saw the honor of the corpse, he let out an "ah" and turned and ran. Fear is like a plague, it is contagious, and the other boys also threw away their hands and ran away without their lives.
But they didn't run far, standing in the distance and shrinking their heads and watching, one is driven by human curiosity, and the other is that if they run, there will be no money to take.
Wang Shoudao raised the lantern and shone it at the place where the people were standing, shook his head, and then motioned to my great-grandfather to take the body out of the grave and wrap it tightly with the black cloth that was seven feet long and four feet wide.
The black cloth wrapped on the corpse actually has no substantive significance, it is completely out of respect for the deceased, so as not to expose the deceased's body directly to the public, just like the nature of covering the body of the deceased with a white cloth now.
My great-grandfather didn't have any feelings about this kind of thing at this time, firstly, he had practiced courage in the past, and secondly, he and Wang Shoudao had also done a lot of similar things over the years, and they had long been immune.
After the body was wrapped, Wang Shoudao beckoned the boys in the distance to come over and ask them to carry the body to the carriage at the foot of the mountain. A few people were not very happy at first, but Wang Shoudao fooled them a few more words, saying that this corpse was the reincarnation of Zhao Gongming, the God of Wealth, and that it was dug up to change a good cave for him, and carrying the corpse was equivalent to helping the God of Wealth, and he would make a fortune in the future. When several people heard Wang Shoudao say this, they were skeptical, and finally had the courage to carry the body down the mountain.
After they returned to Cai's Mansion with the corpse, Wang Shoudao ordered the carriage pulling the corpse to stop at a crossroads far outside Cai's Mansion, and asked my great-grandfather to go to the mansion to greet the housekeeper and ask him to find someone to carry the coffin to the crossroads, and at the same time take out one of the two sets of groom's clothes that had been prepared before and put them on the corpse.
The matter of dressing the corpse in the groom's official clothes was still done by my great-grandfather alone, and the others only dared to watch from afar.
After getting dressed, my great-grandfather carried the body and put it in the coffin, the lid of the coffin was not closed, and it was placed next to the coffin. At this time, none of the onlookers could understand what Wang Shoudao and my great-grandfather were going to do, but they felt surprised and weird.
After doing all of the above, Wang Shoudao took my great-grandfather and the five boys into Cai's Mansion and came to the front yard hall.
At this time, the whole family of Caifu was waiting in the hall, including Cai Wenye's two sons, they got the letter and rushed back from outside overnight, but his second son also brought a few wolf-like servants, his face was not good, as if he was fighting fakes.
After entering the hall, Wang Shoudao's eyes swept over everyone, especially for a moment on those officials, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, his face was calm, and then he exchanged a few words with Cai Wenye. Cai Wenye hurriedly introduced his two sons to Wang Shoudao and my great-grandfather.
After that, Wang Shoudao asked the housekeeper to take out the female paper figure that had been tied before, and instructed my great-grandfather to use a silver needle to prick Miss Cai's little finger with a needle and prick the blood, mainly with her finger blood.
At this time, Cai Qingjun was sitting in the innermost part of the hall, accompanied by his mother Li, and several maids stood in front and behind.
My great-grandfather, holding a silver needle in one hand and an inkstone in the other, walked up to Miss Cai in full view of everyone. At this time, Cai Qingjun's mother, Li Shi, looked at the silver needle in my great-grandfather's hand and frowned, obviously feeling sorry for her daughter.
Although my great-grandfather is honest, he is not stupid, seeing that Li frowned, he hurriedly smiled and said: "Mrs. Cai, Miss Cai, what's the matter, I have a greeting under my hand, Zall doesn't hurt at all, don't worry." ”
As soon as my great-grandfather's voice fell, Cai Qingjun unexpectedly raised his head and asked my great-grandfather, "Mr. Liu, can you tell me, why did you do this?" ”
