I closed the Feng Shui Secret Record and pondered what the intention of Guo Blind Man's move meant.

First of all, Zhou Manman was unable to get out of the coffin by him with a soul nail ingot, and the feng shui secret record said that the cinnabar yellow charm was pasted inside the coffin in order to gather the sun's supreme yang qi to refine the soul, and the coffin would be opened after seven days, and no matter how powerful the ghost was, it would disappear.

Secondly, if the cinnabar yellow charm is attached to the outside of the coffin, the effect is completely different, not only can it not destroy the ghost, but it will attract ghosts.

Zhou Manman is already in the coffin, what the hell is Guo Blind recruiting?

I remembered the night when Huang Cripple died, when the dementor bell hanging above his head rang, Huang Cripple saw the big black cat, he mistakenly thought that the big black cat was a ghost cat, but he chased it later and found that the compass on his body did not react to the big black cat at all, which showed that the big black cat was a living thing, not a ghost cat, so Huang Cripple realized that he had been transferred away from the mountain.

The big black cat is a living creature, so the yellow charm attached to the outside of the coffin is useless to the big black cat. The thick coffin, the big black cat will never be able to break it, otherwise it will not be able to break the coffin for seventy years under the big red coffin in the back mountain.

Zhou Manman's soul can't get out, and the big black cat can't get in, which shows that the whole thing has nothing to do with the big black cat.

And those young people with shotguns to prevent the big black cat from coming to snatch away their souls are just a cover for people's ears, Guo Blind will not do such a mysterious and meaningless thing.

I was isolated in Futu Ling, the yellow cripple who knew feng shui was dead, and I didn't know who to turn to for help, so I had to rely on myself.

In the afternoon, I went to the old lady's house to play a few games of chess with him, and I learned my chess skills with him when I was a child, and now his chess skills are not as good as mine, and it is good to be able to draw with me.

The old lady knew that I had been in a bad mood recently, and anyone who suddenly found out that his girlfriend was not a living person would not be in a good mood for anyone, but he didn't persuade me, so he kept playing chess with me. The old lady is not very good at comforting people, he used to be a teacher in the village, he has a straight temperament, and he has suffered a lot of losses, but he knows how to hide his heart when he is old, and he has become very self-contained.

Now in his 100s and with a sparse whip behind his head, he grows some vegetables in his orchard, sometimes picking some of them and distributing them to the children in the village.

In the evening, I consciously or unconsciously asked the old lady about the coffin, and when the old lady heard that it was a coffin, he was also interested, and led me to the former granary of his house.

In the granary, I saw a coffin covered by a red blanket.

The old lady said that when he was 90 years old, he had an illness and thought he was going to die, so he asked the villagers to go to the coffin shop in the town to find Old Man Chen to give him a coffin. This coffin is a good Nanmu coffin, it is the treasure of the town store in the coffin shop of the old man Chen, the old man Chen and the old lady are close friends, he heard that the old lady is dying, so he reluctantly gave his beloved Nanmu coffin to the old lady.

Unexpectedly, it didn't take long for the old lady to recover, and now his body is still healthy, but Old Man Chen died five years ago.

The old lady said that for the general people, Nanmu, cypress and catalpa coffins are the best coffin wood, in addition to the gold coffin and crystal coffin used by the ancient emperor and prime minister, the best coffin wood that ordinary people can afford is spring bud wood and teak, to Taiwan, the prominent person uses sandalwood after death, these coffins do not seepage, do not attract insects, and can even make incense corpses, leaving a good name for future generations.

I asked the old lady what kind of coffin wood will have a very clear tree ring on the surface, and the old lady thought for a while and said: "If the coffin is uneven, it is unlucky, and there are many annual rings of poplars, but it is generally impossible to see anything with a layer of paint, and people who are not too poor generally do not use this kind of coffin." ”

I nodded, and seeing that it was getting late, I got up and said goodbye to the old lady.

I told the old lady that my mother had bought two fish in the town today, and that I would bring one to him for dinner to taste, and the old lady did not refuse, saying that he would go to the vegetable garden and pick some sweet vegetables and melons for me, so that I could come and get them later.

The old lady said: "Yang Hao, you are still young, there is nothing you can't get over." ”

I nodded, knowing that the old lady would be wrong, he thought that I was uncomfortable when I saw Zhou Manman being locked in the coffin, so he would ask him about the coffin.

The next morning, I got up at dawn, changed into clean clothes, and rode to the town, there are not many people in our Futuling, the town is a small town, and the end of a street is only 300 meters, and I know where the coffin shop is.

Five years ago, the owner of the coffin shop, Old Man Chen, died, and his son became the owner of the coffin shop.

Chen Coffin is a bit wooden, and his temperament is also straight, he is the same as Old Man Chen, he is a down-to-earth and trustworthy person, and the coffin process cannot be too rough, and there must be a ready-made coffin in the coffin shop, and I always feel that there is something strange about the coffin that Guo Blind used to hold Zhou Manman's coffin that night.

After arriving at the coffin shop, I knocked on the door for a long time and didn't see anyone open the door, so I rode in the direction of Dawa Village, planning to ask in the town in the afternoon.

Today is the day when Huang Cripple died three days after his death, and he gave me all the secret records of his feng shui before he died.

When I arrived at Dawa Village, I saw a group of funeral processions circling around Dawa Village from a distance, several big men carried the coffin and walked in the middle, there were hundreds of people before and after, this kind of behavior is called sending soup in the north, and we call it a sacrifice in Futuling, only the rich families in the village can afford to invite so many people.

The Huang family has a big business, Huang Cripple died, his son will definitely bury him, I saw Huang Yan'er walking in front of the team wearing linen and filial piety.

Huang Yan'er really survived, Zhou Manman was going to kill him that night, but as soon as he darkened, he was arrested by Li Fugui and others, allowing him to get away with his life.

Huang Yan'er also saw me stopping on the side of the road looking at him, and when he saw me, he glared at me with a look of resentment, and followed the funeral procession to the ancestral grave in Dawa Village.

I followed the funeral procession in Dawa Village until the afternoon before I was ready to leave, so many people were present, I wanted to go to worship the yellow lame man, I couldn't help it, after all, an outsider, I don't need to wear linen and wear filial piety in order to get money in the queue and fake crying.

I saw from a distance that when the coffin was carried to the burial place, Huang Yan'er suddenly pointed to a few trees on the edge of the cemetery and turned around and scolded the villagers invited by the Huang family behind him, it was too far away for me to hear what he was talking about. Soon after, the villagers who were scolded by Huang Yan'er found axes, cut down all the trees around the place where Huang Li'er was buried, and had the roots of the trees cut out and dragged away.

Soon after the coffin of the crippled man was buried in the ground, the crowd dispersed, and I stopped one of the villagers, who was pulling branches in an ox cart, and asked him why he was cutting down the tree.

The villager said: "Huang Yan'er let me cut it, I don't understand, it's just a few small locust trees, where is the feng shui of his house?" ”

"Locust trees?"

As I spoke, I looked at the cross-section of the trees, and the tree rings on them were very similar to those on the coffin at the head of Mingyue Village.

Huang Yan'er didn't let the dead Huang Cripple have a locust tree next to the grave, and there must be something strange about this matter.

I don't know much about the many taboos in Futuling, Huang Yan'er has been with Huang Cripple since she was a child, and she knows more about feng shui than ordinary old people.

The crowd dispersed, and I wanted to ask Huang Yan'er why he had cut down the locust trees around the grave, but I saw him go straight into a black car and follow his father back to the county seat, deaf to my words.

In the summer, the wilderness is full of wild flowers, I parked the battery car next to it, went to the river with abundant water and grass to pick some small white flowers, pinched into a bunch of small white flowers and placed them next to the grave covered by all kinds of golden wreaths, I suddenly felt that the yellow cripple turned out to be a very lonely person.

I didn't know what to say, but I hugged my fist to his grave in respect, and then turned to leave the cemetery in Dawa Village.

When I arrived in town, I saw that Chen's coffin shop had already opened, so I went in and said hello to Chen's coffin: "Uncle Chen, I'm Yang Hao." ”

Chen Coffin is in his fifties, he used to like to listen to book reviews, when the old lady told the story, no matter how far he went, he would rush to listen, at that time I was still young, and often followed the old lady in a hurry. I knew that Chen Coffin was the son of the old lady's best friend, Old Man Chen, so I politely called him Uncle Chen.

When Chen Coffin heard that it was me, Mu Ne's face showed curiosity and said, "Yo, that fart kid has grown so big back then, it's okay to run my coffin shop...... Come on, let's smoke a cigarette first. ”

"I don't know how to smoke, Uncle Chen, you misunderstood." I looked at Chen's coffin in embarrassment and said. "I'm here to ask you something, did the blind man Guo take away a coffin from you overnight the night before yesterday."

When Chen Coffin heard this, he immediately frowned and said, "You are the coffin that said that Yuecun was filled with female ghosts, right?" ”

I nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, it's the coffin." ”

Chen Coffin said in a deep voice: "I didn't hit the coffin, I just borrowed lacquer from me, the black lacquer is unlucky, the town is small, there is no store to sell, the neighbor came to ask me to borrow, I asked him what he was for, he said that the coffin was used, you said that this is not a slap in the face, buy a coffin and don't buy it at my house, I want to make a coffin myself and come to me to borrow lacquer." ”

"Then do you think there's something wrong with that coffin?" I asked.

"What can be the problem, the coffin surface is uneven, rotten like." Chen Coffin said and smoked a cigarette with a depressed face.

I thought of what happened when I went to Dawa Village not long ago to worship the yellow lame, so I casually asked: "What if that coffin was made of locust trees?" ”

Chen Coffin's face changed greatly when he heard my words, and he said: "The first taboo in opening a coffin shop is that you can't use locust trees to make coffins. ”
