Chapter 316: Folk Tales (I)

The old man didn't answer Liao Minghai's words, or didn't hear it, and continued to pour the words in his hand.

I don't know how long it took for the old man to put away the shower.

"Liao Minghai, listen to my story, it's not too late to make a decision."

"Yes." Although Liao Minghai didn't know why the old man knew his name, in his opinion, it was still very simple for such a god to know a person's name.

"The story starts with an ordinary town that can't be anything less ordinary." The old man said slowly.

"There is a custom of giving coffins in this town, to put it simply, every July 15th, when there are elderly people in the family, relatives and friends will give a coffin."

"Oh, and this?" Liao Minghai raised his eyebrows, this is the first time he has heard of such a thing, whose family gives gifts to coffins!

The old man was not displeased by Liao Minghai's interruption, and continued: "This coffin board is not ordinary, it contains three treasures, namely paper people, paper money, and paper clothes, and anyone who receives the coffin will burn the coffin before the end of the month, as the name suggests, to prolong the life of the elderly."

"The paper clothes that are burned are for sickness."

"The paper money burned is for disaster relief."

"The burned paper figure is a substitute ghost."

"All three are indispensable!"

At this moment, a sparrow flew from the sky and landed on the old man's head, interrupting the old man's words.

I saw the old man slap the sparrow three times, turn his head and walk into the house.

Then.

The sparrow suddenly spoke, telling the old man the story he was going to tell next.

Most of the people in the town accept this custom, with the exception of two families.

They are the old Liu family, who is a paper-binding person, and the old Wang family, who makes coffins.

The two families have just moved to the town not long ago, I heard that the custom here is to send a coffin, so that they can do business, they naturally will not miss it, but this custom has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, want to refuse, there must be no way, it happens that the two families also have old people, on the day of July 15, came a group of friends, sent a coffin to the two families, the two were angry, and embarrassed to explain, because they also know that this is a good friend's heart.

But when it came to burning the coffin, the two always felt a little uncomfortable, so they found a Taoist priest to help them open the altar and avoid burning the coffin.

On the day before the end of the month, that is, on the 30th day of July, they carried out the practice ceremony on a certain feng shui treasure land, and also asked the Taoist to protect the safety of his family, but when the Taoist was preparing to practice, there was a thunder in the sky, and the surrounding trees were split into charcoal on the spot, which frightened the Taoist. Not to mention the practice of opening the altar.

So, Lao Liu and Lao Wang picked up shovels and dug up.

Don't dig I don't know, after the Taoist carefully checked, he found that this place is actually a burial place, and the way of burial is obviously a big problem, it seems that someone should have invited a half-hung feng shui gentleman when he was buried, and the treasure land that the two of them found is not a treasure of practice, obviously deceived by someone.

The Taoist priest asked the two, who went to find this treasure land? What are the effects of what the man said?

Lao Liu took the lead in saying that he calculated it from the feng shui master in the town, and he was sure that it could change his family's fortune and change the bad luck brought about by the coffin.

The Taoist priest asked again if the two of them had a holiday with Mr. Feng Shui.

Lao Liu smiled embarrassedly, this treasure land was originally wanted by Mr. Feng Shui for himself, but later his father found out that this was a treasure land and bought it.

Seeing Lao Liu's expression, the Taoist priest had a number in his heart, as a treasure land to build a building, it would definitely be impossible to open the altar for him to transfer the bad luck.

Lao Liu Heibai used disgraceful means to forcibly buy this treasure land from Mr. Feng Shui, otherwise this Mr. Feng Shui would not have retaliated against others so much.

This so-called treasure is very easy to dig, but when I got to the coffin board, there was cement, this cement handle

The acupuncture points of the coffin board are sealed, and it stands to reason that the carp jumps over the dragon gate, but the dragon gate is sealed by cement, how can the carp jump over the dragon gate?

This Mr. Feng Shui is angry, and he has a little conscience, and he didn't cut off the two of them, if even the carp is sealed and becomes a dead fish, once they open the altar here, they will definitely die, and it is estimated that Mr. Feng Shui should know that the two families want to escape from the customs, so let him help choose the treasure land.

Immediately afterwards, the Taoist took out the coffin and carried the corpse inside into his coffin.

Seeing this, the Taoist nailed nails to the four sides of the coffin, but just as he was about to cover the coffin, the nearby birds flew away as if they were frightened.

As soon as the Taoist saw that there must be evil qi entering the body in the flock of birds, this is not a good sign.

Sure enough, after the coffin was covered, a puff of black smoke rose from inside the coffin.

The Taoist motioned, and the two took out the prepared paper people and paper money and burned them.

After the burning, Lao Liu and Lao Wang asked the people, can the altar still be opened in this place?

The Taoist told him very clearly that this so-called treasure land had been abolished and could not be done, and it was suggested that another place should be chosen.

The two decisively rejected the Taoist, it is now the thirtieth day of July, and tomorrow is the last day, where can they go to find the treasure land! Chinese Net

The Taoist thought about whether to burn the coffin, and the two hurriedly rejected the Taoist's suggestion, thinking that they could take another look, and that burning the coffin was also an unlucky act in terms of the customs of their hometown.

On the last day, they'll also figure it out.

Seeing this, the Taoist didn't say anything more, he would take the coffin and the corpse away from other places, and the two of them needed to think of a way to do it.

Before leaving, the Taoist gave the two of them hundreds of incense sticks, and asked them to plug all the places dug out around the coffin, and they had to do it before three o'clock in the afternoon.

The two looked at the time, there was still an hour and a half left, and it was enough time to finish inserting these incense, and it would even take only half an hour to complete.

After the Taoist left, Lao Liu and Lao Wang chatted while sticking incense.

After living for an hour, I only planted half of the incense.

At this time, Lao Liu's friend passed by here, saw the two of them planting incense, and said with a smile that he had burned the coffin, and the family was going to kill the pig, so he asked the two to come over to help, and gave a large piece of pork after the deed.

As soon as they heard that there was free pork to eat, the two of them were so happy that they didn't care about the incense arrangement.

When the three of them left, there was another thunderstorm in the sky, and a heavy rain began to pour out all the incense that had been planted, and the rest of the incense was washed into the soil by the water.
