Hundreds of people up and down the town, thinking of this, Wang Daoren didn't dare to think about it, but he was sure that this was the most fierce hexagram in the big murder - the death hexagram, the hexagram came out, Wang Daoren panicked suddenly, when the Taoist priest for more than 20 years, this kind of three-currency hexagram has always been good news and not bad news, each of the three ancient coins is an ancient coin of the Qin Dynasty, with the blessing of the luck of the founding of the world.

For ordinary yin and yang feng shui things, the three ancient coins can be blessed with luck, and for divination, in addition to the blessing of luck, with the Taoist talisman of the royal road, it can generally turn evil into good fortune.

But how does this dead hexagram turn evil into good fortune?

Although he panicked, he knew in his heart that this matter was not trivial, and it was likely to involve the fate of the entire Chenjia Town, if that was the case, it would not be a trivial matter that he could solve, but he wanted to think about it in the long run, but two people had died in three days, and the matter seemed to be menacing, and it did not give him room to maneuver.

The sweat dripping from his forehead, the hair that was already a little messy, the tired eyes, the villagers' discussions, Wang Daoren was anxious like ants on a hot pot, holding the small bronze bowl and rubbing his beard, pacing back and forth next to Chen Wanfu's body, although the villagers didn't know what Wang Dao was doing, but they could already see from his face that something was wrong, but they didn't know how serious the matter was.

Just when everyone began to panic slowly, Wang Daoren spoke, "Mayor Town, please call everyone over, I have to talk about this matter with the big guys, so that everyone can have a bottom in their hearts, otherwise it is not a matter of being suspicious." ”

"Okay, well, then on the road east of the house, let's go and wait there. ”

The mayor actually meant the same thing, and wanted to hear what the king said, and it was naturally better to hear that the king said first.

The road to the east of the town was wide and long, and it was not long before a dense crowd of one or two hundred people came around.

Wang Daoren frowned and stroked his beard, as if he had eased up, waved his hands, signaled everyone to be quiet, and said in his throat.

"Listen to me, I am a Wang Daoist, a Taoist priest from Xishan Village next door, it has been the third day that I have been here, and in the past three days, Chen Wannian and Chen Wanfu have died one after another, and they both left without leaving a word, to be honest, I don't know what the reason is.

But a few days ago, a lot of chickens and ducks died in the village, and when I came to the town, it was a cloudy wind, and from the perspective of a Taoist priest I have been a Taoist priest for more than 20 years, I am afraid that things are not so coincidental.

If you have other relatives and friends outside the town, move out to live for a while, let me figure this matter out, and find a way to solve it, let's move back to live. ”

Before the words were finished, the crowd exploded, and everyone said it one by one, some said about it, some said the king's people, and some even complained about the king's people, in short, there were all voices.

Some people are rough in nature, seeing is believing, they don't believe in ghosts and gods, and of course they don't believe in Taoist priests, and they must be unwilling to let them leave the town where their ancestors have lived for generations, let alone because of this kind of gods and ghosts.

One after another, some people began to turn around and leave with a scolding, and the mayor didn't stop him, and Wang Daoren was also calm, and there were less than a hundred or so people left after a while.

Looking at the rest of the people, Wang Daoren continued: "I am a Taoist priest, but not an immortal, the master taught me some feng shui divination, the art of seeking good fortune and avoiding evil, I can measure the good luck and evil for a while, and I can also help people exorcise evil spirits, but with my Taoism, I can't solve this matter, and the danger of this matter is far beyond my ability." ”

"Ouch, what can I do then, Wang Daoren! Wang Daochang! You can't die without help. ”

The old mayor is a little old, and he doesn't see things so biased, and his attitude towards this kind of thing is naturally that he would rather believe it or not, and he is anxious to jump to his feet.

"Don't worry, don't worry, whether you believe me or not, Maoshan has the rules of Maoshan, this kind of thing involves people's lives, I won't treat it as if I didn't see it. ”

"So, what's the solution?"

"yes, yes, you have to help us, our ancestors have been here for generations, we..."

"What can I do about this, who knows if it's really fake, old age and good fortune... I'm scared, let's go out and hide..."

The crowd began to talk nonsense.

Wang Daoren stroked his beard, "I can only fight now, the older generation said that there is a Taoist priest who knows yin and yang on the mountain behind you, but I haven't seen him with my own eyes, I don't know if there is such a person, I want to go up the mountain to have a look, find him, this matter may be able to turn evil into good fortune." ”

"This ......" The old mayor hesitated, and everyone whispered.

"There's no time, the mayor of the town, the living people matter, let's go to the old people's house first. ”

Knowing the seriousness, the mayor and the rest of the people didn't dare to say anything, and followed Wang Daoren back to Chen Wannian's house.

In the house, Chen Xin and Nian's sister-in-law sat next to Chen Wannian with tears in their eyes.

Entering the door, Wang Daoren said to the young sister-in-law: "Sister-in-law, the festival mourning changes, but the old age may not be simple, we can't risk putting the old at home for seven days, the town is getting more and more shady, it is already over July, there is a cool wind blowing in the daytime, and then put it like this, I'm afraid something will happen." ”

The young sister-in-law was already very sad, and when she heard him, she cried even more, and the mayor was also in a hurry when she stood next to her, and wanted to go up and persuade her, but when the words came to her mouth, she looked at the heartbroken mother and daughter in front of her, and she didn't know where to start.

Chen Xin stopped crying at this time, and asked with sobs, "Wang Daoren, what do you think we should do, as soon as Daddy leaves like this, we will be left with the two of us, and we have no idea." ”

Wang Daoren said urgently: "I suggest that you be buried in the coffin immediately, today is the third day, you can do it today, immediately, the action must be fast, and let people dig five feet deep, if you agree, put it into the coffin now, don't delay." ”

Chen Xin was stunned for a moment, although she knew that things might not be simple, but she didn't expect Wang Daoren to say it in such a hurry, and glanced at the old mayor, who nodded helplessly.

Chen Xin's eyes were filled with tears again, she lowered her head and wiped her tears, leaned over and persuaded her in her ear, but Nian's sister-in-law was heartbroken, grabbed the old man's hand, and nodded reluctantly.

Chen Xin got up, "In this case, Daddy has already gone, let's go to the back mountain to see him in the future." ”

The trembling voice made people feel distressed, and Chen San didn't feel good when he saw it.

After that, Chen Xin cried and kowtowed to her father three times, one is the grace of nurturing, and the other is the rules and etiquette.

The old mayor and Wang Daoren began to arrange the burial of the coffin, but after arranging a few words, the old mayor suddenly turned his head and asked Wang Daoren, "What should Chen Wanfu do? ”

Wang Daoren frowned, "If you don't agree, you have to agree, they are all dead in vain, to be honest, what is the situation of the corpse, I am a little unsure now, but according to the three-currency hexagram I used to divide, Chen Wanfu must not be placed at home, and must be buried in a coffin immediately."

Mayor of the town, I'll be honest with you, the hexagram I divined just now is a dead hexagram, and the three-currency hexagram goes back and forth with just a few hexagrams, I have never had a dead hexagram for more than 20 years as a Taoist, and my master has never been a dead hexagram, and the divination of the hexagram is something that has not happened yet, so the person who is going to die in this dead hexagram has not died. ”

"How is this good, ouch, what kind of evil has been done, how can such a thing fall on us......" The old mayor shook his head, sad and gloomy.

"Now is not the time to talk about this, we have to bury the old man and Wanfu first, I'm afraid they will have variables, and Sister-in-law Fu will trouble the mayor of the town to persuade you, I want to prepare for the funeral, this matter is fast, and it can't be delayed for a moment."

Moreover, the forest behind the mountain is hundreds of acres in size, and it may take a lot of time to find a person who lives in seclusion. Wang Daoren shook his head and sighed as he spoke.

Listening to what Wang Daoren said in such a hurry, there is no way, you have to catch the ducks on the shelves, if something really happens, how can you have the face to go down to see those ancestors and ancestors, the old mayor has a bitter face.

"That's no way, sister-in-law Fu will persuade me, no matter what, I will find a way to let her bury Wanfu, but you, the king, know that this matter is extremely dangerous, and do your best to help us Chenjiazhen, we can't repay this kindness, please accept the old man." ”

Seeing that the mayor of the town was about to bend down and bow down, the royal people naturally did not accept it, and immediately supported the old mayor.

"The mayor of the town can't, I'm a Taoist, this is my business, although I just learned some simple techniques to avoid evil, but the town has this kind of evil thing, I can't stand idly by, as a Taoist, I can't watch you wait for death, let's first bury the old man in the coffin, although the old man only stopped at home for three days, but the coffin should have, one step can not be missing. ”

Wang Daoren arrived outside the house and said to the villagers outside: "The old man died in the middle of the night, this time the situation is more special, the person who carries the coffin must be born at noon, that is, at noon, which of you was born at noon, stand forward, we need four people to carry the coffin of the old man up the mountain." ”

The crowd began to surge, and after a while, three people came out, the old cow next door, Chen Qing in the south of the town, and Chen Fugui in the north of the town, except for Chen Qing, who was a little younger, only twenty-six years old, Lao Niu and Fugui were already over half a hundred years old, hunting for a living, and were strong and strong.

The two of them carried the coffin not once or twice, in previous years, the old people in the town passed away, most of them were close relatives, and they were as strong as oxen, there will always be so many times to carry the coffin, this time they walked out without any hesitation.

Chen Qing is an elderly nephew, and he was forced out by his mother, maybe this time the villagers felt evil, and there were only three people after waiting for a while.

Wang Daoren asked them to say their birthdays, and after pinching them for a while, they stroked their beards.

shouted to the crowd again, "There is still a lack of one person, although there are fewer people born at noon, but it should not be difficult for two or three hundred people in the village to get together four, everyone is in the same town, everyone needs help from others, the hour is not early, one more person, we will accompany the elderly on the road together." ”

At this time, Chen Xin also cried and said to everyone: "Please help my father, my father is usually kind, now this last stretch of the road, please help him." After saying that, he knelt down crying to the villagers.

After waiting for a while, no one came out, and the mayor was a little anxious.

"Wang Daoren, maybe there are really three people born in our town at noon, is there any way to compromise?"

Before Wang Daoren could speak, Chen San walked out from the end of the crowd, frowned, helped Chen Xin up in distress, and stood in front of Wang Daoren.

"I was born an hour after noon, I'm not afraid of any problems, I'm alone at home, I'll carry Uncle Nian. ”

Chen Xin looked at Chen San's unwavering face, and for the first time felt in her heart that Chen San was such a responsible person.

Wang Daoren looked at Chen San and stopped talking, looked at the time, sighed and said, "Time is very tight, let's bury the old man first." Then he began to shake the three clear bells and read them.

Lao Niu and Fugui lifted the old man and put it into the coffin, with the lid of the coffin, Chen Xin and the young sister-in-law cried, this cover will be separated forever, never to see again, some relatives are also sad to cry.

After preparing the rope and the pole for picking the coffin, the king saw the hour, and it was almost noon.

"The dead go on the road, carry the coffin, get up. ”

The four of them worked hard to lift the coffin together, Wang Daoren led the way, shaking the Sanqing bell in his hand, and sprinkled yellow paper from his arms, relatives on both sides wore white clothes and sprinkled white paper, Chen Xin held a mourning stick and walked in front of the coffin, and the coffin was carried by Chen San, Lao Niu, Chen Qing, Chen Fugui, and there were villagers with white cloths behind them.

There were no people who played the wind in the customs, and dozens of people followed the royal people into the mountains, according to the royal people, although the old people only stopped at home for three days, but the steps of the burial could not be less.

The old mayor did not accompany him, he greeted his sister-in-law, and wanted to persuade his sister-in-law to bury Chen Wanfu when they buried the elderly, but Chen Wanfu only died this morning, and the family was going to stop for seven days.

But this time the big thing is not good, there is no room for turn, Chen Wanfu must be buried.

Taking advantage of the fact that Wang Daochang and his party carried the coffin up the mountain, the old mayor came to Chen Wanfu's house on crutches and told his sister-in-law everything about the matter.

Sister-in-law Fu is a foreign daughter-in-law, she has no children, and the only relative around her is Chen Wanfu, and now that Chen Wanfu is dead, she has no claim, but she knows that people have to stay at home for seven days when they die, and they don't want to say anything.

In the end, the mayor really had no choice, Leng gave Chen Wanfu the piece of feng shui treasure that he had previously let the king choose from, and Sister-in-law Fu reluctantly nodded and agreed.

More than an hour later, Wang Daoren and their group returned to Chen Wanfu's house, according to the previous steps, or Chen San and the four of them carried the coffin, Chen Wanfu was buried, after everything was done, the hour was not early, two people died in three days, almost the whole town was busy, dinner was arranged for someone to do, the big guy was busy for a day, before eating a decent meal.

Wang Daoren rested for a night, waiting for dawn to go to the mountain to find the Taoist priest who knew yin and yang, but before Wang Daoren entered the mountain, something happened again that night.

It was Chen San who had an accident this time, Chen San lived alone, it stands to reason that no one would find out what happened to him, but Chen Xin is a smart girl, careful and thoughtful, she knows that when Wang Daoren asked people to carry the coffin of her father, Chen San was not the most suitable person, and there was danger, otherwise she would not have picked someone born at noon.

So from the beginning of carrying the coffin, she has been paying attention to Chen San, for fear that there will be a mistake.

Although Chen San used to be very out of tune, and occasionally teased Chen Xin, that unwavering face and firm eyes made Chen Xin never forget it in his life.

Early in the morning, everyone gathered around Wang Daoren and saw him off on the mountain.

Chen Xin looked around in the crowd and didn't see Chen San, in her impression, Chen San got up very early every day, and when she went to the river to wash clothes, she could already see Chen San wandering around the street.

didn't see anyone, Chen Xin panicked for a while, and ran to Chen San's house, with a bad premonition in her heart.

Wang Daoren saw that Chen Xin was running in a panic, so he asked the mayor what the situation was, and the mayor didn't know, only knew that the direction was Chen San's house, and called a few times to know that Chen San didn't come, and learned that Chen Xin was running to Chen San's house, Wang Daoren also chuckled in his heart, and chased after him.

Soon Wang Dao and Chen Xin arrived at the door of Chen Sanwu, Chen Xin shouted a few times outside the door, but no one responded, and the ominous feeling in his heart was even worse, and his heart panicked again, and tears were already rolling in his eyes.

Wang Daoren immediately kicked the door open, walked in, and saw Chen San lying motionless on the bed, reaching out to probe his nose, breathing steadily, but his body was as cold as a dead man, and even a chill was exuding, no matter how he screamed, he couldn't wake up, Chen Xin shook Chen San on the side, and tears dripped on Chen San's body.

As everyone knows, when they were shaking Chen San, a wisp of Chen San's soul was watching them from the side, and before they came, he had already found that his body and soul were separated.

Early in the morning, he woke up and was ready to get up to see off Wang Daoren, got up and felt that his body was light and fluttering, only to find that his body was still in bed after getting out of bed, looking at his body for a long time, and also tried to lie back, tried a few times, and could not return to the body, and it was still his soul that got up.

Although Wang Daoren only learned feng shui divination, the art of seeking good fortune and avoiding evil, but he is an orthodox Maoshan descendant, in order to avoid the five disadvantages and three shortcomings of Wang Daoren, Wang Daoren's master only taught him these two sample things.

If you don't cross yin and yang, for Taoist priests, there will be no five disadvantages and three shortcomings, but in the years of enlightenment in Maoshan, I heard the master and brother say some yin and yang things, and Wang Daoren judged at the moment that Chen San had lost his soul.

Although it is not accurate, but for a Taoist priest who does not understand yin and yang, this judgment is already very accurate, then again, Wang Daoren has no way to summon spirits, he has not even opened the eyes of yin and yang, and he has not learned the spell of soul summoning, how can he summon spirits?

He can't shout the soul, the soul must be Chen San's direct relatives, Chen San lives alone, his family has long passed away, and the Wang Daoren at this time looked at Chen San like this, helpless.

The only thing that can be done now is to keep Chen San's body, although the whole body is cold, as if he is dying, but his breathing is stable and there is still a glimmer of life, Wang Daoren can only pin all his hopes on the Taoist priest in the back mountain, hoping that he can go down the mountain to save Chen Sanyi's life and save Chenjiazhen's life.

Chen Xin's anxious tears were like springs, Wang Daoren frowned and said to Chen Xin: "Girl, he made it like this to carry your father, he is not dead now, maybe there is still salvation." ”

As soon as Chen Xin heard that there might be salvation, she knelt down with a "plop", grabbed Wang Daoren's hand, and begged Wang Daoren to save Chen San while crying.

Wang Daoren helped Chen Xin up and said: "If a person doesn't eat or drink, he will die for a maximum of four days, and he can't eat or drink water during these four days, but you can give him a hand towel every two hours and put it on his mouth.

Although his body is no longer conscious, the water will slowly penetrate from his lips to his mouth, remember not to feed him water directly, directly open his mouth to feed water, it will leak the luck of the ancient coin.

I will put a copper coin in his mouth, my Qin ancient coin has the luck of opening the world, put it in his mouth, you can add luck, I hope to suppress the other souls in his body, as long as the other souls do not disperse, he can last for four days. ”

Wang Daoren took out the remaining two ancient coins from his clothes pocket, one of which was stuffed into Chen San's mouth, and the other was handed to Chen Xin, allowing Chen Xin to wear it as a talisman.

Chen Xin nodded again and again, looking at Chen San lying on the bed, tears couldn't help but flow down again, Chen San saw all this in his eyes, but they couldn't hear his shouts.

Seeing Chen Xin crying for him, he stretched out his hand and wanted to touch Chen Xin's face, but before he could touch his face, his vision blurred and he fell into a deep sleep.

At this moment, the villagers also arrived one after another, Wang Daoren didn't say anything, said goodbye to the big guy, turned around and asked Chen Xin to take care of Chen San, and then took the dry food given to him by the mayor and went up the mountain alone.
