Chapter 64: The Empty Coffin
Lao Dao and the little boy stopped in the middle of the cemetery, Lao Dao squatted down to look at the little boy, and said softly, "Child, close your eyes." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
The little boy did not hesitate, closed his eyes, and his long eyelashes twitched slightly.
Lao Dao stood up, looked around, his face was serious, he pinched his fingers in his hand to calculate something, and then said to the little boy: "Turn 13 times in place, no more in one circle, no less in one circle." ”
When the words fell, the child really began to spin in circles.
The faces of the people outside the cemetery were a little strange, they couldn't understand the old way, a few people began to mumble something in a low voice, Huang Qinghe's face turned around ugly, glared at the person who spoke, and the person who spoke saw Huang Qinghe's face, and hurriedly stopped talking.
After the little boy finished spinning in circles, he shook his body for a moment and stopped.
Lao Dao took a few steps back and said slowly: "Don't open your eyes, go forward." ”
Then, a scene that shocked everyone happened.
The child was now with his eyes closed, and the graveyard was full of bulges, and it was easy to fall, but at this time, the little boy, like the old way, was able to calmly avoid the obstacles on the ground and slowly walk in a certain direction.
What's even more shocking is that the route the boy took at this time was not a straight line, and there seemed to be a force guiding the boy in the dark.
Suddenly, the boy tripped and fell directly to his knees, and everyone gasped, not knowing what the situation was.
Lao Dao hurriedly came up and shouted, "Don't get up, kneel on the ground and kowtow." ”
The boy obediently kowtowed on the ground, and Lao Dao pulled the boy up and encouraged, "Really good." As he spoke, he led the child out of the cemetery.
Lao Dao handed the boy over to a woman and explained: "Don't let the child go out for the last three days." The woman nodded yes.
Huang Qinghe came up and asked Lao Dao: "Master, it was ...... before"
Lao Dao responded: "The place where the child kowtowed just now is where your old man sleeps." ”
When the words fell, everyone was shocked and half-convinced, but no one opened their mouths to question anything.
Lao Dao didn't explain anything, but beckoned: "Come and kowtow, don't forget what I told you during the day." ”
Everyone nodded, and Huang Qinghe walked in front, leading a group of people to the place where the boy kowtowed before.
Huang Qinghe knelt down first, not forgetting the words of the old Tao: "Grandpa, this place is uncomfortable, I'll change your accommodation." As he spoke, he kowtowed four times.
Subsequently, according to the seniority and status of the family, everyone knelt down and kowtowed one by one.
After finishing the matter, Lao Dao looked at a few prime men standing not far away, these prime men were all holding shovels, and they were invited by Huang Qinghe to move the grave.
Lao Dao asked with a serious face: "Did I let you tie all the red belts?" ”
Several prime men touched their waists and nodded.
Lao Dao nodded slightly and said, "Come and dig, be careful with your hands and feet, there is no coffin down here, don't damage the bones." ”
A few young people should come down and start construction, and the people of the Huang family around them formed a circle, standing next to them, looking at the pit dug out.
"There it is." A prime man whispered.
Then a few people in the prime of life put down their shovels, replaced them with small shovels and brooms, and began to clean up slowly.
Finally, the broken mats and mud from the bones were removed, revealing a complete skeleton.
Huang Qinghe frowned slightly, looked at the exposed skeleton and said, "Master, it doesn't seem right, our old man is not so tall." ”
Everyone nodded one after another, looking at this skeleton, this person is about 1.8 meters, which is far from the old man.
Lao Dao squinted his eyes and said, "I didn't say that this person is your old man." ”
Huang Qinghe's face was suffocated, and when he wanted to say something, Lao Dao ignored him, but turned his head to bow to the white bones and said, "Brother, I'm sorry, I disturbed your peace, I will burn some paper money to make amends for you another day." ”
After speaking, he said to a few prime men: "Clear this white bone aside." ”
A few prime of men naturally had no opinions, and after a while, they moved the white bones outside the big pit.
Lao Dao squinted at the big pit and said slowly, "Keep digging." ”
A few middle-aged people picked up shovels and continued to dig, and the Huang family next to them reacted, it turned out that their old man was below, no wonder they dreamed that they were pressed by others and couldn't sleep comfortably.
It didn't take long for me to see the white bones again, and now it is estimated that it is the main one, and after some careful cleaning, Lao Dao went up to pick up the bones.
According to the rules, if the body or bones are found to be very intact after the coffin is opened, a two-meter-long red cloth should be spread under the bones, lifted out completely, and placed in a new gold cabinet. If the coffin is old and rotten or has been hoarded in the soil, it is necessary to collect gold. The gold collector must be professional and well-dressed, and the bones of the man must be collected from the skull, from the left hand down to the left leg, and then from the right leg to the right hand. Be sure to follow the order and never leave the bones behind.
The gold bones are placed in the new gold cabinet in turn according to the human skeleton structure, and the gold cabinet should be paved with coins before entering the gold, the bottom of the material is gold, the left hand is gold, and the right hand is a few silver ingots, and the red cloth is passed through the hall, and the colorful grain is sprinkled. After entering the gold, the head should be stabilized with a cotton ball, the mandible should be bitten with the skull, and the skull should be masked with the blessing of the Taoist ancestors. Then build multicolored threads from head to toe. The bones were sprinkled with tea leaves, and then the red cloth was used as a cover to cover the water, and the golden bones were sealed after the coffin. The jargon of the coffin is called a coffin, and each piece of material is three, and it is necessary to press the outer side double, and the inner side is single. If the mistake is made, it will inevitably affect the merits of the mage and the fortune of the family.
The old man's white bones entered the coffin, and several prime of men stood up the coffin on all sides, listening to the instructions of the old man.
Lao Dao scattered a handful of paper money, muttered something in his mouth, opened the way in front, and went to the new grave selected during the day.
Zhang Guan followed behind Lao Dao, and felt a little strange, where is the hexagram that Lao Dao said.
Suddenly, a frightening wind blew for no apparent reason, and the bodies of the younger children shook a little, and the adults hurriedly grabbed the children.
Lao Dao's face changed, and he shouted in a low voice: "Put down the coffin, stay away from the coffin!" ”
Several prime men were stunned for a moment, then hurriedly let go of the coffin and ran to the side.
With a bang, the purple-black coffin fell to the ground, and then lay quietly in place without the slightest movement.
Lao Dao frowned, walked forward slowly, attached his ear to the coffin, didn't know what he was listening to, and then beckoned two strong men to come over and said, "Open the coffin." ”
The two strong men didn't say anything, stepped forward and moved the coffin lid, everyone was shocked, the coffin was empty, and the old Taoist who had seen the old man put the white bones in it before was now gone, it was really weird.
Lao Dao's face changed greatly, he looked around, he didn't know what he was looking for, and then he looked at Zhang Guan and shouted, "Call your little ghost soldiers out and find that thing." ”
Everyone's faces were strange, of course Zhang Guan understood what Lao Dao said, he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly called out the little ghost's subordinates.
Before Lao Dao could give the order, he heard a woman screaming in horror.
Lao Dao turned his head and found that Huang Qinghe was grabbing a woman next to him at this time, biting the woman's neck, and the woman struggled desperately.
Lao Dao's face turned cold, he took out his peachwood sword and rushed forward, calling Zhang Guan in his mouth: "Come and deal with him." ”
Zhang Guan hurriedly rushed up, at this time Huang Qinghe's face was pale, his eyes were all white, his strength was very great, and he was about to bite the woman's neck, the old peachwood sword beckoned, like a soldering iron, and white smoke rose from Huang Qinghe's skin directly, accompanied by a hissing terrifying sound.
Huang Qinghe spread the woman, howled in pain, and then glared at Lao Dao with a hideous face, as if he wanted to tear Lao Dao apart.
