Tang Tianhai arranged a place for me to live, and at the same time sent someone to buy me a train ticket. He had intended to have someone send me back, but I refused.

After a day and a night on the train, I got off in Yushui County, a small county not far from my home. I walked out of the station with my rucksack on my back, found a nearby long-distance bus station, and waited for more than an hour before getting on the bus to my house.

At this time, it was already more than five o'clock in the afternoon, and this was the last general bus. It's still more than an hour to get from here to my house.

I got on the bus, and I found a seat in the last row to clean up. Then he began to snooze in a daze.

Originally, I could get to the end at six o'clock, but because the car broke down halfway, the repair of the car was delayed for more than an hour, and when I got off the bus, it was completely dark.

When I got out of the car, I was a little dazed when I stood at the station. I left home when I was six years old, and a lot of things were blurred. And now the lights are dark, and they don't know where to go.

I hurriedly grabbed a man next to me and asked, "This big brother, let me ask you, how to go to Manjia Village?" ”

The man glanced at me, "I don't know your accent is a local, you go to Manjia Village to visit relatives." ”

I hummed casually, not bothering to explain it to him.

The man said very enthusiastically, "My family lives in Sunjia Village, and Manjia Village is only three miles away from our village, so you can come with me." ”

Sunjia Village, I still have some impressions, grandma's second sister is my aunt, she lives in Sunjia Village, and I have been there with my grandmother.

The two men walked four or five miles, crossed a small hill, and a light appeared in front of them, and the outline of a village loomed.

The man told me that there was Sunjia Village in front of me, and that it would be about two miles from their village to Manjia Village.

Soon, we entered the village, and the man's house was at the entrance of the village, and he pointed to a road and said, "You follow this road all the way to the south, and when you reach the end and turn a corner, you will see Manjia Village." ”

After thanking the man, I followed the path the man pointed me to, and walked forward. After walking for about ten minutes, there was a noisy sound in front of me, vaguely as if someone was doing a funeral.

Before I reached the door, I faintly felt a bad breath wafting out of the courtyard of that house. I couldn't help but stand at the door of the house and listen.

"It's all a little hard." Someone shouted.

"I can't lift it." A young man's voice came.

"Let's try again." An old voice said.

There was obviously something wrong with this family, and I couldn't help but go into the courtyard and see eight strong guys carrying a coffin. Originally, the coffin was to be moved from the courtyard to the outside, but the custom here is that the coffin is moved from the house to the outside on the first night of burial, and when it is buried the next day, it is carried directly to the cemetery.

There were a lot of people helping in the yard, and everyone's eyes were focused on the coffin, and no one cared about me.

The faces of the eight young men were flushed at the moment, and the green tendons on their foreheads were bulging, but the coffin just couldn't be lifted. A coffin plus the people in the coffin is more than 200 catties at most, and the average of eight young men is only about 30 catties, but no matter how hard they try, the coffin just doesn't move.

"It's so wicked."

"Yes, the old grandson is resentful, is it that the children and grandchildren are not filial?"

"Don't say it, Sun Laofu is good to his father, and his father will buy whatever he wants."

Everyone talked about it for a while.

At this time, a man dressed in linen and filial piety came from behind, knelt directly in front of the coffin, and said in pain, "Dad, you can go on the road with peace of mind, don't worry about things at home." ”

There are generally several situations in which the coffin cannot be lifted, one is that the deceased was killed, and the unjust death is unwilling. The second is that the wish of the deceased has not been fulfilled, and then there is that some kind of taboo has been broken.

It was an old man who died, and it could be heard from the conversation between the villagers just now. The old man's son was not bad to him, and he should not have been killed. Then there were the men and women kneeling behind the coffin. I know that this old man has a lot of grandchildren. In rural areas, the greatest wish of the elderly is to have a full house of children and grandchildren, and the deceased should not have a wish. Even if there is a wish that is not fulfilled, there will be no evil spirit. Then it can only be the last one, breaking some kind of taboo in the process of doing white things.

Since I have encountered it, I naturally have no reason to ignore it, and this is also to accumulate virtue for myself.

The goodness of Taoism is about accumulating virtue and doing good, and there is no dispute with the world.

Squeezing through the crowd, I looked towards the coffin, there were many marks on the coffin, and these marks should have been left by knocking the coffin nails when the coffin was sealed.

I immediately understood the problem, this is the taboo of breaking the sealed coffin, and the coffin cannot be lifted out.

After the deceased is buried, the coffin nail needs to be nailed. The coffin is nailed in feng shui called the soul nail, commonly known as the descendant nail, and it is generally nailed into seven.

When nailing the coffin nails, not only the number of coffin nails is particular, but also when knocking on the coffin nails. Each nail in the sealed coffin should not be more than three times, one knock is shocking, two is amazing, and three is shocking. The nail of the coffin can only be knocked three times, and after three times, no matter whether the nail is completely knocked in or not, it cannot be knocked again.

When the third blow is struck, the ghosts are alarmed, and the ghosts are alarmed, and they will come and grab the coffin, and when the coffin is not nailed, they will burrow into the coffin.

The reason why this coffin could not be lifted was because it was knocked too many times, alarming too many ghosts, and they entered the coffin.

I came to the old man who was in charge of the white affairs, nodded at the old man and said, "Uncle, I want to say a few words to you alone." ”

The old man looked at me twice, "What's the matter with you, you shouldn't be from our village?" ”

I whispered, "Uncle, I know why the coffin can't be lifted, where can we go and say a few words." ”

The purpose of my home this time is to Kanyangguan, and when the matter is done, I have to leave home and go out to practice, so I don't want to be too ostentatious and bring unnecessary trouble to my family. I thought about talking to the old man alone.

I went with the old man to a corner of the courtyard, and I told him that the reason why the coffin could not be lifted out was that the taboo was broken when the coffin was nailed. ”

When the old man heard this, he looked me up and down, and said with anger on his face, "Boy, what do you mean by this, my old man has presided over red and white affairs in the village for half his life, and I don't know what taboos are." ”

"You hairy boy knows what taboos are, I think you're either a liar or you're here to make trouble." The old man said and waved his hand impatiently at me.

I didn't care, smiled and said, "When I nailed the coffin just now, did I knock a lot of it." ”

Hearing me say this, the old man frowned and said, "Is there anything wrong with this?" ”

I explained the taboo of knocking on the coffin nail, and the old man frowned and was silent for a few seconds, and then said, "What you said, I seem to have heard the older generation say before, what do you do, how do you know this at a young age?" ”

"Uncle, it doesn't matter what I'm doing, I passed by here and ran into it, so I reached out to help." I said.

The old man nodded, took out the cigarette case, took out a cigarette and handed it to me, helped me light the cigarette, and then said, "I believe you, now the coffin can't be lifted, what do you say?" ”

"Open the coffin and get the wild ghosts inside." I said with a puff of smoke rings.

Hearing me say this, the old man was silent, after sealing the coffin, it is very unlucky for the deceased's family to open the coffin again. Actually, I can also destroy the wandering ghosts and ghosts in the coffin without opening the coffin, but they are not harmful, and if I kill them in vain, it will bring me cause and effect. Also, the soul of the old man in the coffin can't be saved.

The old man thought for a moment before he said, "Are you sure?" ”

He was worried that the coffin would be opened, and he would not be able to lift it out if it was sealed again.

I reassured him that as long as he did what I said, he would definitely be able to carry it out.

The old man thought for a while and said, "Little brother, I can't be the master of this matter, I need to discuss it with the owner, you wait, I'll call the owner over." ”

The old man's name for me had changed, and it was clear that he believed me.

Soon, the old man led Sun Laofu, who was dressed in linen and filial piety, over, and the old man had obviously told Sun Laofu about the taboo.

Mr. Sun greeted me and asked me if I could carry the coffin out if I didn't open it.

I shook my head and told him that I could carry the coffin out and bury it in the earth. The resentment in the coffin will be integrated into the luck of their family, and their family will have peace in the future.

When Sun Laofu heard this, his face was a little ugly, and he stood there a little tangled.

"Lao Fu, listen to this little brother." The old man said from the side.

Sun Lao Fu narrowed his eyes, "Then open the coffin." ”

I didn't want to go out to show off, so I explained the details to the old man, although the old man was not a feng shui master, but he presided over a lot of white things, and he still knew some things.

He wrote down my words one by one. Go back to the front with Sun Laofu.
