Chapter 22: The Second Uncle (3)
Early in the morning, we got up, and after a brief wash, we were about to go to see the Taoist, when we were about to open the door, the door suddenly opened. The pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info was still the Taoist boy from yesterday, I saw him holding a tray in both hands, and there were a few steamed buns, pickles, and porridge in the tray.
"Little comrade! Hello, where is your master now, can you let us meet? I said
"Oh! I'm afraid you won't be able to see you today, Master went down the mountain early in the morning to do business, and he won't come back until tomorrow," replied Dao Tong as he put his food down
"Did you do something?" Ah Bian said in surprise, and then asked
"Then may I ask what your master has done?"
Dao Tong said again unhurriedly
"Master has to do two things when he goes down the mountain today, the first is to help a family surnamed Wang in the market, look at feng shui, and look at the cemetery; The second thing is to go to the pork shop south of the market at night to get rid of the ghosts, if you want to catch up with Master now, I guess you won't be able to catch up with him, he has been off for more than an hour, in my opinion, you should stay in the guest room honestly and wait for Master to come back! ”
"That's not good, we can't delay the matter of our investigation, the sooner it ends, the sooner we will be comfortable, don't you say! Squad leader Zhong! ”
Ooh! The company commander said that it felt quite positive, in fact! It's just that I just want to end it quickly and become an official earlier.
"Okay! Company commander, you have said so, we are indeed short of time, the task is heavy, we can't delay, investigate clearly early, maybe we can find a little to find the missing Daoist Li. ”
After speaking, we didn't listen to the advice of the Taoist Tong, after gobbling up breakfast, we hurried down the mountain, this just out of the Taoist temple gate, I regretted it a little, this is easy to go down the mountain, if there is anything to go up the mountain again, not tired half dead, looking at the company commander, Ah Bian walked briskly in front of me, I gritted my teeth, my heart was ruthless, no longer hesitated, and followed.
When we arrived at the market at the bottom of the mountain, it was almost noon, and the three of us casually found a small restaurant, had some lunch, and went down the hill with a terrible headache in the front toes, so we just took a break for a while. After we had our fill of wine and food, we asked the shopkeeper where the home of the king of the market was, so that we could go to the Taoist chief.
When I asked the store, I didn't know that the store poured a basin of cold water on us, and the store said
"Hey! You can just ask me where Daochang Li is, this Wang family is just around the corner in the middle of the street, the old man of their family has recently died, and this Daochang Li is resting in his guest room at the moment! ”
"Rest? No, isn't this Dao Chang looking at the feng shui cemetery? Why did you rest at his house this time? I asked
"Hey! How long can it take to see Feng Shui, I finished reading it early in the morning, this long recitation of the sutra for a morning, spent the morning, tired and rested, and needed to be quiet, I see that it is impossible for you to see him now! ”
Seeing that we didn't speak, the shopkeeper continued
"It's only about 12 o'clock now, as soon as this ritual is done, it will be almost half past three in the afternoon, this funeral will let Zhang Daochang seal the coffin and seal the soil, you might as well wait here for three hours, this funeral procession will pass in front of the door, and it will not be too late to see you, what do you say?"
"I'll see it!" Ah Bian said
The company commander was a little unhappy when he heard Ah Bian say this, and said
"What are you doing! In my opinion, let's go directly to Wang's house to find someone, in case the coffin and the Taoist priest don't pass by the door, aren't we just going to run around this trip in vain? ”
Listening to what they said, I thought about it for a while, and I still think that what the store said makes sense, as the saying goes: "The dead are greater", at this time, if we rashly go to other people's houses to ask some questions, one will not please the chief, and the other will be resisted by the Wang family, so I said
"I said! Let's stay in this funeral line, we've been waiting for so long, it's not a few hours, and we can also see the ability of the Taoist leader, and see how he does how to seal the soil, do you say it! ”
My statement, two to one, according to the democratic saying, this has to be left behind, I thought that the company commander would use his official frame to press us, who knows! The company commander also learned to be obedient and didn't say anything.
The three of them found a table near the window, sat down, and the helpful shopkeeper made us a pot of tea for free, and the wait was three hours.
Sure enough, as expected by the store, there was really a funeral team coming from a distance at three o'clock, and I hurriedly patted Ah Bian and the company commander who were asleep, and they raised their heads and looked out the window.
The funeral procession is very long, quickly bury the whole street, the three of us looked for Li Daochang in the crowd, only to see a thin figure, wearing a yellow Taoist robe, wearing a Taoist hat, a middle-aged man with a goatee standing in a position in front of the coffin, he held a whisk in his left hand, a copper bell in his right hand, three steps and a shake, five steps and a recitation, a good fairy wind bones.
"This person must be Li Xueweng, Li Daochang!" The company commander said
As I spoke, the funeral procession had already walked through the door of the restaurant, and I hurriedly said to them
"Don't talk about it, let's follow the funeral procession first, and then let's see"
With that, we followed the funeral procession and walked over, and after walking for more than ten minutes, the funeral procession came to a large open space not far from the market.
"Look at this cemetery, there is a dense camphor forest in front of it, and there are hidden paths and paths in the forest, which shows that the future of the descendants is bright, with little wind and little rain; Look at the back of this cemetery, there is a big mountain behind it, which shows that future generations can do their best to do things, and they are not afraid of obstacles and backers; Also, look at the two sides of this cemetery, the hills are rolling in the sky, and the two sources of wealth are not in or out, this is wealth, a good place, a good place! ”
"I say, company commander! How do you know so many things, have you ever been a Taoist priest before! ”
Ah Bian's question also aroused my great interest, this company commander also has a high level of Chinese, and he has only read a few books, how can he understand more than me?
"That's it! Company commander, how can you know how to read feng shui, you haven't really been a Taoist priest before! ”
"Hey! I remember one year, there was a leader who died of his father, and all the cadres were removed from mourning, and it just so happened that I had something urgent to report to the leader, who knows! The secretary of the leader said that the leader went to choose a cemetery for his father, and I was in a hurry to report it, I asked the secretary for the address, and ran over, so I saw a Taoist priest choosing a cemetery for the leader's father, I listened to a few words on the side, the cemetery was similar to the one in front of me, and when I saw this, I also said it, hehe! ”
"I see! Look at what you said is the way, I thought you were a monk, hehe! ”
"Don't talk about it, the Taoist is going to do it, come and see," I said to them
The funeral man helped the Taoist to set up the altar, only to see a peachwood sword that the Taoist took out of nowhere, supported by both hands, and practiced left and right in the same place. After the practice, the Taoist took a big rooster from the hands of the funeral man, and wiped the chicken's neck with a peachwood sword, and the chicken's blood gushed out like spring water, flowing in a porcelain bowl, and the Taoist used the brush on the table to dip the chicken blood in the bowl, and wrote a few unintelligible characters on a piece of rhubarb cloth, and then he asked the deceased's family to wrap the rhubarb cloth on the coffin.
After the family of the deceased wrapped the yellow cloth, I thought that the Taoist chief would be done with another shovel of soil, who knows......
