In our hometown, there are several ways to repair the grave.

Before the fifties of the last century, the tomb was mainly built of stones, and the ground was a semicircle, which looked like a bunker from a distance, with a little loess on the top, and most of them would grow some thatch. This kind of tomb, half a meter underground is the coffin, the coffin is loess, and the loess is stone, which is easy to recognize, and it is also the most common.

From the fifties to the end of the 80s of the last century, another type of grave was popular, and there were two types of graves.

The advent and popularization of cement directly led to the upgrading of tombs, which were stacked with cement and bricks to form tall buildings, separated by arched tunnels at intervals of 20 centimeters, and these tunnels were used to place coffins. The family tombs of large families can open a stack of words, with the largest elder in the middle, and then spread out around according to the rank, which occupies the land, and later these tombs have been demolished or relocated one after another.

As for small households, they generally choose another form of tomb construction, that is, adobe tombs.

The source of the adobe tomb is the folk dwelling, the northwest of Zhejiang is a mountainous area, there are few resources, and the road is difficult to walk, before the opening of the Youling Tunnel, this place is relatively scarce. So the buildings here are made of local materials, simply using yellow clay, straw, lime, wood and slate, which is how Cha Wenbin's old house was built, and the house I lived in when I was a child was also a yellow clay adobe house.

Although this kind of house has a simple appearance, it has one benefit: it is warm in winter and cool in summer. Because the soil is rammed very strong, so the thermal insulation effect is very good, in the summer the sun is not transparent, the temperature of the soil cools quickly, and the wing house in the west has to be covered with a quilt at night, this kind of house is still very nostalgic for the older generation. Also with the upgrading of tomb construction, this simple and practical construction method was applied to tombs.

Generally, a feng shui master will be invited to choose the land, and after the selection, the grave is not repaired, but the family name is nailed down with a wooden board, and people will know that this is a cemetery that has been chosen.

The cemetery is chosen to be used only on the day of death.

After the death of a family, the villagers will gather at the host's house as soon as possible, and a person of high moral standing will be recommended to be the head of the house, and the head of the house will divide the work among the representatives from house to house. The women are responsible for shopping, washing, and cooking, and the men are not only chopping wood and building a platform for funerals, but also have a more important thing to do.

How can this tomb be repaired?

When he came to the cemetery chosen by the master before his death, the Taoist priest took him to worship the land and Tai Sui first, and then told the mountain god that after a priest, he removed the plank and tied it to the board with a live rooster and put it aside.

The Taoist priest would sprinkle quicklime on the ground to make a shape, and the men would dig the earth according to this lime line, digging to a depth of half the coffin, and the front half of the coffin was lower than the second half.

After digging the pits, the earth excavated along the lime lines was taken on the spot to build a wall, and if it was a drudgery to catch up with the rainy days, the master had to build a shed on it with a tarpaulin. The wall was about half a meter high, and after it was rammed, it began to be roasted on the surrounding fire so that the earthen wall could dry quickly, and when the wall was almost the same, a layer of white lime was applied to the outside, and the work was half done.

On the day of mourning, the coffin will be put into the pit that has been dug by the Vajra who are responsible for carrying it, and the coffin will be half in the soil and half in the soil. At this time, if the family has many children, most of them will stuff a red envelope into those who carry it, and there is a special point here.

Where's the point? It's in the position of the coffin!

Chinese pay attention to the ancestors to accumulate yin virtue to protect future generations, and when they go to the priests, most of them will let children kowtow to the ancestors who have rotted into white bones when they burn paper money: ask grandpa to bless learning progress; Ask grandma to bless you from being promoted and making a fortune or something.

In fact, the ancestors who slept in this tomb may not know the younger generations who kowtowed to him outside, and he was an honest farmer before his death.

However, this thing is very particular about the knowledge of feng shui. The position of the coffin head will directly affect the fortune of future generations, if the coffin head is aimed at the door of a child's house, then the family's fortune of being protected by the ancestors will be greatly improved.

After placing the coffin, the children cried and shouted, around the coffin that had not yet been capped, generally three circles on the left and three circles on the right, holding the loess in their hands, walking around and sprinkling a handful of loess, and the surface of the coffin was basically covered with soil.

At this time, the carpenters will complete the final process for the owner's house, which is to cover the roof.

Carpenters, like those murderous butchers, are regarded as objects that wild ghosts dare not approach, because their ancestor is Lu Ban. The ink fountains and ring rulers in their hands are sharp weapons to ward off evil spirits, and even Taoist priests like Cha Wenbin need to use them, and they are also responsible for building coffins, which can be regarded as the benefactors of those who have died, so the status of carpenters in the past funerals is very high.

The carpenter would pull out the stick that the owner had planted in his lifetime as the "beam" of the new tomb, and then build tiles to cover the slabs, so that the whole tomb would be finished, and the rooster tied to the stick would be taken away by the carpenter as a reward, which was a great reverence for him.

And in this house, Cha Wenbin did see the clues under the reminder of the "Ma Zhenren". The tomb has no windows, and any tomb has only one door, which is the door of life and death, and the yin and yang are separated from it.

The door of the Yang Mansion has a door god, and ghosts cannot enter here, so on the night of the soul, the window is considered to be the main path for ghosts to lead to the house. Although the Yin Mansion will also design various burial chambers for people to use after death, they will not build windows, which is taboo and basic common sense.

If it weren't for the master's reminder, maybe it would have been planted this time, and regardless of the crying of the children in the house, Cha Wenbin drew a circle for himself with the seven-star sword on the spot and took out two rune papers. This paper is red and green, and the symbol is drawn with red cinnabar, and there is a horizontal "目" character on this symbol, which is a bit like an oracle bone inscription.

The two talismans were lit together, and a puff of green smoke rose up, and when the talisman was about to burn his fingers, he put it on the seven-star sword. The sword was raised above his head with a burning talisman, and Cha Wenbin shouted at the room: "Bah! ”

The seven-star sword threw forward, and two flames flew towards the gate with scattered ashes, and after a "poof", the two flames emitted on the door panel in an instant and gradually melted into one.

In the blink of an eye, the two talismans were completely burned to ashes, and then I looked closely, where was the word "Xi" on the door, which had been whitened, and it was obviously the two "lay" words written on white paper.

Good guy, this time it is considered to be uncovered, this place is a grave prepared for himself, Cha Wenbin is not happy in his heart. What he was uncomfortable with was not that he almost fell into the Tao, but that he actually used his family to come here to pit himself, and the original sadness in his heart turned into anger, and shouted towards the gate: "No matter which way you are an immortal today, take my pair of deceased children as an introduction, I will definitely be inseparable from you!" ”

Since this kind of house is built in imitation of the tomb, it is natural that there is a way to open it, if you walk through the gate, it will just hit the head of the coffin, and maybe there is a fierce coffin facing you here. Cha Wenbin thought, if you want to get this hand, then I will simply uncover your top.

This kind of grave has not been moved less in the past, and it is not much difficult, but there are many people who have accidents, and the reason is that they have not mastered the know-how. To open this tomb, the most important thing is to find the "beam", the beam is the backbone, first remove it, and half of the evil qi below will be gone.

Cha Wenbin took a look, the height was only four meters, and he went around the house to the back and took a look, built against the mountain. I climbed up the mountain three or two times, kicked my legs again, jumped on the trend, and landed on the roof, and the stone slab under my feet broke into two with a "click".

I picked up a stone slab under my feet and didn't look at it, but threw it into the back mountain, and it shattered with a bang. After Cha Wenbin heard the voice, he began to slowly climb up the ridge of the roof, which is called "throwing stones and asking for directions". In the past, the disability rate in the countryside was quite high, and many people would fall from the roof inexplicably, but experienced people would grab a tile and throw it behind them after going to the house, as long as it was lost, the person would basically not have an accident again.

The slate is much smoother than the tile, and there is no bayonet like the tile that is connected to the tile, Cha Wenbin was originally angry in his heart, and after he walked to the top, he didn't use his hands, he directly kicked those slate with his feet. The stone slabs were originally superimposed on each other, and after a movement, they fell down piece by piece, falling to the ground with a "crackling" sound, and the cry was immediately muffled.

After this mess, it didn't take long for the tile below to be revealed, and a thick wood with a bowl mouth was located directly above, this thing was the "beam", Cha Wenbin lit a fire fold and threw it down, and this small piece of fire flashed before he could see the situation clearly:

I saw that there were four coffins, two large and two small were evenly hung on the girders by finger-thick hemp rope......
