Chapter Twenty-Four: The Flesh Urn
"Early in the morning, what's the noise?"
The door was suddenly pushed open, and Liu Meiqin walked in, seeing Wanting with tears on her face, her face was darkened.
I turned against the guest and asked directly: "What is Liu Ling Tongzi?" ”
Liu Meiqin was stunned, and after reacting, she sneered: "What's wrong with me raising a ghost son to hinder you?" ”
I was speechless for a while, I thought of everything, but I didn't expect Liu Meiqin to directly reveal the hole cards.
"yes, it's none of my business!"
I smiled, walked out of the bedroom with my clothes, and when I walked to the corner of the stairs, Liu Meiqin's voice sounded behind me: "Don't forget your duty, you are just the son-in-law of our palace family, where is this, you want to climb on the head of the old lady and?" ”
I paused, and went downstairs faster.
Like yesterday, I didn't have breakfast at Gong's house and took a taxi to the construction site.
On the way to the construction site, I kept thinking about how much the Gong family was hiding from me.
Liu Ling Tongzi is also called Liu Linglang, according to legend, it is the Taoist ancestor Lu Dongbin who traveled outside, and met a little ghost in the river when crossing the river for help.
Seeing that it was pitiful, Lu Dongbin cut down the willow tree and made a wooden carving of a boy for the little ghost to store inside.
Since then, the little ghost has become Lu Dongbin's subordinate Taotong, and later generations are called Liu Ling Tongzi.
To put it bluntly, it is a secret Taoist technique for raising little ghosts.
It is said that the method of raising ghosts such as Guman Tong in the southeast region was changed according to the method of sacrificing Liu Ling Tongzi.
Gong Fengnian said that he was able to start from scratch and create a large family business, relying on the transfer array laid by the feng shui master, but now it seems that the Liu Ling boy raised by Liu Meiqin is also one of the reasons.
The refining method of the Liu Ling boy is much harsher, but it is also more effective, and the most important thing is that as long as the operation is done properly, the Liu Ling boy will hardly fight back against the master.
When I was a child, I heard my grandfather tell me that when he was young, he went to the south to sew corpses and met a willow spirit boy.
Grandpa said that the Liu Ling boy was successful in cultivation, almost like an ordinary person, he could eat, drink, and walk in the sun.
I was listening to the story at the time, but I didn't expect that one day, I would also meet a willow spirit boy.
Nothing for a day.
Everything is normal on the construction site, and there are no moths.
The Gong family is also quite normal, no one mentions Liu Ling Boy anymore, Wanting and I entered a state of cold war, and I slept on her bed.
The next two days, two o'clock and one line - home, construction site.
On the seventh day of coming to the construction site, the school was completely bulldozed, and the project entered the next stage, and the specific person in charge was Lu Ning.
To put it bluntly, I'm just an ornament.
I don't know how to look at the drawings, and I don't have any control over them, and before I come, the drawings have been finalized and the contract has been signed.
The construction party of this project is Gong Fengnian, that is, my father-in-law's Meinian Company, and the construction party is the Qin family's Xiangyu Company.
The specific process and plan of the construction were completed by Lu Ning, and it has nothing to do with me.
Not only that, the construction team up and down, big and small, are all from Xiangyu Company, I can't get involved, and I don't want to interfere.
I can't figure out what Gong Fengnian wants me to do here!
The point is, Gong Fengnian also got Uncle Liang to spy on me, what do I have to monitor?
Since working at the construction site, Uncle Liang and I haven't spoken a few words in total, and the most talked about is when Lu Ning invites guests to drink.
It was because of my confusion that I was uneasy.
In this world, the unknown is the most terrifying thing.
The school was bulldozed, and the project entered the next process, Lu Ning briefly explained, and it can be summed up as: 1. Pay-off; 2. Earthwork excavation; 3. a foundation cushion cap; 4. Backfilling and tamping; 5. Construction of the main structure......
There are all kinds of big steps, there are ten big steps, I only remember five, all in all, I am a black eye, whatever Lu Ning says, it is.
Uncle Liang also has no opinion.
"Since Mr. Chen and Mr. Liu have no opinions, let's officially start work tomorrow and start work ahead of schedule today!"
In the end, Lu Ning waved his hand, set the tone, and gave the workers most of the day off by the way, which was so capricious.
In fact, it's just three words, not bad money.
This is also something I don't understand.
Even if you are doing public welfare, even if you don't rush to make money from the beginning, you can't lose too much!
The salary is four times that of the outside, and there is no intention of rushing the deadline, so no one knows how much it will cost and how long it will take.
I don't know if they're crazy, or if I'm insightful.
"Mr. Chen, Mr. Liu, the official start of work will start tomorrow, I have prepared a table in the city, enjoy your face and drink?"
After the workers left, Lu Ning sent an invitation to Uncle Liang and me.
If you don't go, you don't give face, and there is no need to offend Lu Ning, I look at Uncle Liang, Uncle Liang's meaning is obvious, if you go, I will go, and if you don't go, I won't go.
This is Uncle Liang's consistent attitude, with me as the head of the horse, to put it bluntly, I will go wherever you go, he is a nail arranged by Gong Fengnian by my side.
Lu Ning arranged a copper pot of shabu-shabu, this time he didn't do what he didn't have, he was talking about the scene, and the wine was still very comfortable.
Like the last time, coming out of the hot pot restaurant, there is a second one.
The old rule is to take a bath first, then massage and steam.
After a comfortable night's play, when I returned to the villa, it was already early in the morning, and I slept until dawn.
I got up early to eat, I made a new discovery, Gong Fengnian looked at me a little strangely, he seemed to be looking forward to something!
I was restless after a meal, and Gong Fengnian's eyes even had a hint of heat in the end when he looked at me.
I fooled around, then put down my chopsticks and left, rushing to the construction site.
Although the project has entered a new stage, it is not much different from usual, it is still more than nine o'clock, and Lu Ning inspects the whole site as usual.
Uncle Liang and I accompanied me throughout the process.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the excavator entered the site and excavated the earthwork, which is commonly known as digging the foundation.
"Dig something out!"
At three o'clock, workers shouted.
At 10 o'clock, all the workers gathered in front of a large pit and looked at the contents inside.
On the surface, it looks a bit like terracotta, domed, much like an upside-down vat.
The workers said everything, some said that there was an ancient tomb under it, some said that it looked like an antique, and asked the police for advice, and some said that they would dig and dig first, but they really couldn't call the police.
In the end, Lu Ning made a decision, and went down to a few workers to dig with shovels to see what this thing was.
Afraid that the workers would not dare, Lu Ning took the lead, jumped into the pit first, and dug it himself.
Lu Ning went down, and Uncle Liang and I were embarrassed to stand on it and watch, so we also went down to dig.
After digging for half an hour, most of the things were exposed.
"It's like two cylinders upside down!"
I looked at the part I dug out and pondered for a long time.
"Indeed it looks!"
Lu Ning nodded, and the workers also chimed in.
This thing is indeed like two cylinders that are buckled upside down, with auspicious cloud patterns on the surface of the cylinder, and it looks a little better than the tanks used to store water in the countryside.
Seeing that there was nothing to look at, the workers were not afraid and continued to dig down.
Ten minutes later, everything was revealed, and it was two jars, but strangely enough, the bottom of the jars sat firmly on the ground and could not be moved.
"Hook machine, come here and push it!"
Lu Ning circled the vat twice and waved his hand at a driver.
Lu Ning spoke, and the driver acted immediately, and in just two clicks, the two cylinders that were buckled upside down together came out, and after the large cylinder was moved, a pitch-black hole with a diameter of about one meter and a half was exposed.
The moment the hole was revealed, a strange voice came up from under the hole, as if someone was screaming and crying.
Hearing the sound, the workers dispersed in a hurry, and no one dared to approach.
"The cylinder is broken!"
At this moment, a worker shouted, and everyone's eyes shifted again.
When the hook machine hooked the cylinder just now, there was a crack on the cylinder surface, which will finally break.
Click!
After a minute, the two jars shattered under everyone's gaze, revealing a corpse, or rather the body of a monk.
The corpse was lifelike, as if it had just died, bald, with a ring scar on its head, wearing monk's robes, with his hands folded, sitting in a meditative posture in the vat.
When they saw the corpse, everyone was stunned.
"The urn of the flesh is the urn of the flesh!"
Just then, a worker pointed to the corpse and shouted.
"What is a flesh urn?" Someone asked right away.
"Legend has it that after a monk passed away, he would put the sitting body into a jar, seal it with soil, and bury it in the ground to suppress evil spirits!"
"No wonder there's always something going on here, it turns out that there are ghosts down there!"
The worker said, pointing to the dark hole and shouting, "There must be a ghost down there, keep going, we'll all have to finish the game!" ”
"Fuck your stinking fart!"
The foreman Wang came out at this time, kicked over, and scolded: "After playing a JB, the dog can't spit out ivory in his mouth!" ”
Lu Ning also reacted and said, "Withdraw to the side first, wait for me to find Master Huang!" ”
"Who is Master Huang?"
I always watched from the sidelines, and did not express my opinion, but when I heard Lu Ning say please master, my heart moved, and I asked a worker next to me.
"Master Huang is a famous feng shui master in our city, he came to the construction site once last time, and after he got it, he never had an accident, very smart!" The worker said.
My heart moved, the master Huang that the workers said was probably the royal feng shui master of Gong Fengnian.
He didn't come when Liu Qi was guilty, and he didn't come when I was engaged, but now Lu Ning said that he would invite, it seems that the relationship between Master Huang and Gong Fengnian is not as harmonious as imagined.
At this moment, I suddenly remembered the way Gong Fengnian looked at me at dinner this morning, would he have known that there was such a flesh urn under the school?
The more I thought about it, the more I thought it was possible, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to explain the look in his eyes this morning.
I secretly glanced at Uncle Liang, there has been such a big change, Uncle Liang is still expressionless, people can't guess what he is thinking!
However, he was very dedicated and reported the situation to Gong Fengnian as soon as possible.
On the other side, Lu Ning had already finished making the phone call and was walking towards me and Uncle Liang.
"Mr. Chen, Mr. Liu, I'm going to pick up Master Huang, you two are staring here, don't let people approach that hole, I'll be back soon!" Lu Ning said a little anxiously.
"Okay, don't worry!" I nodded, who had eaten enough to approach the hole, the entrance of the cave was pitch black, looking inside, there was no end in sight, and there were bursts of strange noises, who dared to approach.
Not only did they not get close to the entrance of the cave, but even the corpse of the monk was not approached, and they all hid far away, and Uncle Liang and I were the closest.
"Hey, look at the corpses!"
As soon as Lu Ning left, a worker pointed to the monk's corpse and shouted.
Everyone looked at it almost at the same time, and the surface of the corpse did not know when cracks appeared, just like the vat.
As we cast our gaze, a gust of wind blew in, and the corpses drifted away and turned into rubble.
