Chapter 86: The Ancestral Hall of the Jia Family
didn't go far, the rich merchant sent a car to greet him, Jin Zhen did not take a car, but kept walking, Maoshan ancient training Maoshan disciples should not sit in a sedan chair.
At eight o'clock in the evening, everyone came to the town where the rich merchant was located, the rich merchant started from the textile industry, and the business was very large, and it was said that the president of the chamber of commerce, and the welcome honor guard was listed for several miles.
The rich businessman's surname is Jia, a thin old man in his sixties, who led a family of young and old to the town, and immediately knelt down after seeing the golden needle, and shouted, "Welcome to Maoshan Immortal Du Zhenren." ’
Not only did Zuo Dengfeng not expect such a big formation, but it is estimated that even Jin Zhen himself did not expect it, and when he saw this, he hurriedly stepped forward to help President Jia.
"The real immortal is here, Jia is very grateful, these vulgar things are not in the eyes of the real people, only for the Maoshan faction to add lamp oil, two brocade silk, ten high-quality fabrics, and a robe for the Taoist masters of Maoshan." President Jia stood up and immediately motioned to his subordinates to present a wooden plate covered with a red cloth and some gifts.
"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, President Jia is polite." The golden needle groaned for a moment and turned his head and nodded at the entourage, and the entourage stepped forward to put away the gift when he saw this, the red cloth fluttered, and Zuo Dengfeng glanced at it and found ten large gold bars neatly placed on the wooden plate.
"Real person please." President Jia saw that Jin Zhen accepted the gift, and raised his hand to invite guests with a happy face, and Jin Zhen nodded slightly at him and walked with him.
Zuo Dengfeng took a few steps back and opened the distance, according to the serious expression of the golden needle and the surprise of the entourage of the Taoist, they do not often receive such a heavy gift, as the saying goes, there must be something to ask for, this President Jia not only went out to greet so far, but also knelt down to greet him, and gave him a generous gift, and the fool also knew that things were not easy to do, if he simply found a Yin Mansion Cemetery, he would definitely not use such a big formation.
Jin Zhen naturally thought of this, President Jia did not follow the rules, usually presented the thank you gift after finishing the matter, he sent it in advance, and in front of the people on the street, so it was directly to catch the ducks on the shelves. However, he did a very beautiful job of catching ducks on the shelves, and such a heavy gift was very gold on the face of the Maoshan faction, plus the whole family knelt to receive it, so that the duck of the golden needle was decided, and it had to be put on the shelves no matter what. However, it may not feel good to be a duck, otherwise the golden needle will not keep a straight face.
Jia Fu had already prepared the ingredients, as soon as Jin Zhen and the others arrived, they immediately started a fire to cook, Jin Zhen sat in the lead, Zuo Dengfeng did not receive a cold reception because of his ragged clothes, and sat in the second seat, and even the thirteen ate the red-tailed carp with scales removed.
Jin Zhen didn't have a straight face when he ate, the reason why he had a straight face before was that he didn't like the other party to force him in this way, not because he didn't have confidence, and he was already hungry after walking so far, and the dinner was extremely rich, and when it was time, the guests and hosts were happy.
After the meal, Jin Zhen did not rest, but asked President Jia to take him to see his father's coffin, and President Jia immediately looked embarrassed when he heard this.
"It's been more than a month since Ling Zun died, if it was normal, he should have been buried a long time ago, lead the way." The gold needle is a positive color opening. He had looked through the merit book earlier and knew something about President Jia.
"Wait until daytime." When President Jia heard this, he was terrified.
"With me, what are you afraid of, lead the way." Jin Needle nodded.
President Jia saw that Jin Zhen insisted, so he called a few of his own family members to take Jin Zhen and others to the west of the town, the ancestral hall of the Jia family was in the west of the town, and the coffin of Jia's father was parked in the ancestral hall.
"Du Zhenren, my father seems to be a little wrong." After leaving Jia's Mansion, President Jia whispered to the golden needle.
"What's wrong?" Jin Zhen sneered. If it's right, you don't need such a heavy gift.
"On the night of the third day of the funeral, the sound of fingernails scratching the lid of the coffin came from the coffin of the deceased, which scared away several people who were guarding the spirit." President Jia whispered.
"Is the ever-bright light out?" The golden needle interrupted President Jia's words. The lantern in the mouth of the golden needle refers to the oil lamp that is lit next to the corpse after death, and the oil lamp is kept on for three days.
"It's not extinguished." President Jia looked around and looked around, his face frightened.
"Didn't you open the coffin to take a look? Maybe Ling Zun faked his death and came back to life. Jin Zhen asked.
"No, no, no." President Jia shook his head again and again, and when he saw Jin Zhen frowning, he hurriedly added, "My ancestor had completely lost his breath at that time, and it was impossible to resurrect him." ”
"And then?" Jin Zheng asked again.
"Later, the coffin was moved to the ancestral hall, and every night there would be a sound of grabbing the lid of the coffin in the coffin, and recently it has become more serious, and there was also a roar." President Jia walked tremblingly in the night.
Jin Zhen didn't say anything after hearing this, and deliberately took a few steps behind and wanted to talk to Zuo Dengfeng, but how could President Jia leave him half a step now, and rubbed next to Jin Zhen without leaving an inch.
Jiajia ancestral hall in the northwest of the town, is an ancient building of the former Qing Dynasty, the ancestral hall is very large, covers an area of two acres, coat the courtyard wall, the courtyard wall is a forest, the crows and night owls in the forest are calling one after another, seven or eight biao-shaped men at the door are guarding the fire and punching and drinking, in fact, they are afraid to die, deliberately shouting loudly to dilute the fear in their hearts, and the sound of punching is with a trill.
"President!" When the guards of the ancestral hall saw President Jia and others coming, they immediately surrounded him.
"Big brother, there is something with the surname Yin in it, it's not powerful." Zuo Dengfeng spoke in a low voice, his yin and yang technique could instinctively make him feel the vision around him, and he could also assess the strength of the other party in the first time.
"The crows are all crowing at night, it's definitely not normal." Hearing this, Jin Zhen nodded, and turned to the woods next to the ancestral hall and whispered, "Maoshan Sect Du Qiuting is here, and the monster quickly dodges." ”
As soon as he said this, the crows and night owls stopped calling instantly, and there was silence around them. Seeing this, everyone immediately threw a look of worship at the golden needle, only Zuo Dengfeng himself was a clear-eyed person, the golden needle said this sentence with aura, to put it bluntly, it scared the crow and the night owl, what he said was not the key, even if the bastard was here, it would have the same effect.
"Open the door." The golden needle called out to the flat-haired beasts, and motioned for everyone to step forward and open the door. One of the wise men immediately rushed to the door, pulled the latch, and pushed the door open. President Jia nodded approvingly. In fact, the opportunity to climb up is everywhere, as long as you are careful, you can find that the person who opened the door may not be bold, but he is very smart and knows that he will not be in danger with the golden needle here, so he took the first step to show his face in front of the leader.
As soon as the door opened, a stream of yin qi immediately gushed out, and immediately retreated back after touching Du Zuo and the others, the golden needle may not have noticed this, but Zuo Dengfeng found it, this is a subtle feeling, and others do not.
The golden needle took the lead in stepping in, accompanied by Zuo Dengfeng, and everyone followed.
At this time, it was summer, there were not many fallen leaves in the courtyard, and the wooden beam houses in the ancestral hall were not dilapidated, and there was a faint smell of vermilion lacquer, which showed that the Jia family often repaired the ancestral hall. The ancestral hall has no left and right ear rooms, only a spacious main house, there is an incense case outside the main house, and a yellow paper charm is pasted on the door.
"President Jia, when you came to my Maoshan to offer incense, you said that you asked us to come and find a yin house for Ling Zun, and I will start tomorrow, and you can ask the master to deal with the matter here." As soon as Jin Zhen saw the paper talisman on the door, he immediately showed displeasure, and the Taoist priest hated wiping the buttocks of other Taoist priests the most, just like the doctor did not like to diagnose and treat patients who had been ill by other doctors.
"There are a lot of Du Zhenren, Jia is also sick and rushed to the doctor, the immortal spell of your faction is Gao Xuan, ordinary people are not moved, and I can't go to find those goddesses and gods." President Jia is a smart man, and when he saw this, he hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed the golden needle, and at the same time explained, a high hat was also buttoned up.
Hearing this, Jin Zhen raised his eyebrows and glanced at President Jia, turned around and pushed the door and walked in, the north side of the main house is the spiritual seat of the ancestors of the Jia family, and there are rows of Taishi chairs on the left and right, which should be the seats of the Jia family when they hold a meeting, there is a rectangular wooden platform in the middle of the ancestral hall, and on the wooden platform is a golden coffin, there are horizontal and vertical black lines on the outside of the coffin, and there is a roar and collision sound in the coffin, if it is not for the solid coffin, I am afraid that the dead people inside will break out of the coffin.
"Who told you that the inkfountain line can keep zombies at bay?" The golden needle stretched out his hand and pointed at the dense black thread marks distributed horizontally and vertically on the outside of the coffin.
"Zombies?" President Jia's face turned green when he heard this.
"The ink fountain line is a bricklayer's tool for straightening and leveling, and it can't restrain zombies. Did Ling Zun have any resentment before he died? Jin Zhen asked. The dead man in the coffin had indeed changed, and Golden Needle wanted to find out the reason for his corpse.
"No, absolutely not, before my father died, the three of us brothers were in front of him, and my father explained everything, and he passed away with a smile." After President Jia finished speaking, the two men behind him who were a little younger than him hurriedly nodded in agreement.
"The corpse transformation usually occurs underground after the burial, it should not appear so early, the third day after death is the return of the soul, and on this day the corpse transformation shows that it has resentment in its heart, and it is a great resentment." Jin Zhen turned around and walked to the Taishi chair next to him and sat down.
"Du Zhenren, please ......" Captain Jia stretched out his hand and pointed to the coffin in the middle of the main room that made a strange noise.
"I'm killing it now, it's not holding any breath, you still have to think about what you did in the three days after its death that made it unsatisfactory, and I'll do it again if you find the reason." Jin Zhen said casually.
"No, we didn't do anything after my father died, we all did it according to the rules, did you still have sex with your younger siblings in those days?" President Jia turned his head to look at his two younger brothers, who shook their heads at the words.
"Is there anything you promised the old man that you haven't done?" Jin Zhen frowned and asked.
"A lot of the ceremonies were held after the burial, and we didn't do anything for a few days, just take turns keeping the spirits." President Jia recalled for a moment and replied.
Jin Zhen didn't say anything more when he heard this, and the appearance of the corpse showed that his three sons had done something that made him very dissatisfied in the three days after Jia's father's death.
"What did your father value most during his lifetime?" Jin Zhen asked after a long silence.
"My mother died early, and my father didn't remarry, just ran a business." President Jia replied.
"Did you burn paper money during your wake?" Jin Zhen asked again, since this person was not lustful in life, then he was very likely to be greedy for money.
"Burned, burned a lot, this is what my father confessed before he died." President Jia hurriedly replied.
"Is there a hole under the copper basin?" The golden needle vaguely guessed what the problem was.
"Copper basin? We used an iron basin and didn't drill holes. President Jia replied in amazement.
"Copper basins are used to burn paper money, and holes must be drilled under the copper basin, and a few sons will drill a few holes, otherwise the burned paper money will not be able to enter the ground, and the iron will not be able to use the iron basin, and it will not get a cent of the paper money you burned, and Ling Zun was rich when he was alive, and he didn't have a penny after his death, how do you let it live from below?" Jin Zhen said with a smile.
"Second and third, go back and get the copper basin, drill the hole, and send money to our father again." When President Jia heard this, he immediately explained to his two younger brothers, who hurriedly turned around and ran out.
"Rise the altar." Jin Needle stood up and said to his entourage, such a corpse transformation seemed insignificant to him, and it was easy to suppress it.
As soon as everyone heard this, they immediately began to arrange the altar, and Jin Zhen immediately instructed everyone in the Jia family to cover the coffin, and raised his hand to paste a paper talisman on the head of the old man Jia who sat up suddenly, the corpse of the old man Jia was not seriously decomposed, and the golden needle immediately ordered everyone to carry the corpse out of the coffin and put it on the ground, although the corpse was suppressed by the paper talisman, it was still twitching and ready to move.
"Big brother, it's not powerful, why is it still moving?" Zuo Dengfeng stepped forward and asked in a low voice. The rune paper used by the golden needle exudes a faint yang energy, and Zuo Dengfeng felt that if he didn't use the paper talisman, he could achieve a similar effect by changing it to a stone facing the sun, and he had already begun to learn and use it.
"This is the corpse talisman of our Maoshan faction, like it, we only need to fix it temporarily, and we don't need to use the corpse talisman, otherwise it will not be overtaken but killed." The golden needle explained.
Zuo Dengfeng nodded and retreated when he heard this, Jin Zhen walked to the altar, held a peachwood sword in his hand, and began to chant a spell, everyone's eyes widened, Maoshan Palm Sect casts spells and surpasses the dead, which is not something that ordinary people can see.
At this moment, Thirteen ran in from the door with a crow in his mouth, Zuo Dengfeng knew that it had always been hostile to the femininity, and when he saw it come in, he was about to warn it, but before he could say anything, Thirteen threw away the dead body that the crow rushed to the front, and when he reached the top of the dead corpse's head, it was a bubble of cat urine without saying a word.
The zombie that was about to move immediately stopped moving, and everyone present was dumbfounded......
