Chapter 184: Moving the Grave
Linhua County, east of the city, early morning
In a small forest near the river, seven or eight people were working hard, and in the distance was the incense case, which had just been sacrificed, and three people were politely watching not far away.
Su Ziji, who is already a person, is also among the working people, wearing a coarse cloth at the moment, this is a temporary change of clothes, after putting incense and burning paper on the case for the ancestors of the Su family, he prayed for the reason for the ancestors to move the grave, and said the address of the new grave.
This is a rule of moving graves that has been handed down from the previous dynasty.
When raising the grave, the preparation should be done well, otherwise it will disturb the ancestors.
And the time of moving the grave is also very particular, not too late afternoon, so as not to burn the bones of the corpse in the middle of the day.
Rain doesn't do it.
Today, the sun is still shining, and the hour is far less than noon, which is just right.
"Childe, it's okay. When the bones were picked up one by one, collected with the bones that had been taken out in the first place, and carefully placed in the bone tower, the wild man whispered.
Su Ziji, who was holding a black umbrella, took the black cloth in the hands of the wild people and covered them one by one on the bone tower.
The wild people threw the copper coins prepared in advance into the pit, and then filled in the empty tombs, and as for the dilapidated coffins and burial objects, they had to be burned immediately, and they could not be brought into the new tombs.
The new grave is far away, the coffin containing the bones is put into the ox cart, Su Ziji is the male of the Su family, holding the spirit in front of an ox cart to guide, Ye Buregret is Su Zi's married wife, and follows the spirit in the car.
Yu Lu, Zhang Sheng, and Fang Xi, who were watching the ceremony, naturally took another car as friends and followed at the end of the team.
The ancestral grave of the Su family is in Jinggao County, because Su Zi is a person, whether it is to buy land, or the procedures are very smooth, there is no obstacle, and the wild people who deal with this matter are even more flexible.
When Su Ziji led the team and rushed to a hill for an hour, the wild Taoist pointed and said: "Childe, you see this is Xiaoyu Mountain, and the surrounding thirty acres of land are all ceremonial fields. ”
From a distance, I saw a hill suddenly appearing on the Pingchuan River, from east to north. The mountain is verdant, full of lush green bamboo, the west wind together, the birdsong echoes, below the hillside, there are dozens of acres of slope fields, in the distance, there is still smoke curling.
Su Ziji nodded, he was busy with things, this was the first time he had come to this place, and Lu Fengyun did not disappoint himself.
After that, it was time to move the bones into a new grave.
The time of burial has long been calculated by the wild Taoists, and it is an "auspicious time" that is unhindered by the ancestors of the Su family and Su Ziji, Su Ziji needs to be the first to dig a grave, and after three shovels of soil, others can do it.
After digging a few in a row, the wild Taoist looked at the time, examined it carefully, and said to Su Ziji decisively: "Childe, the auspicious time has come, please put in the bones of Lingzu Lingzong in order, and then seal the soil into a grave." ”
According to the order, Su Ziji put the bone tower containing the bones of the ancestors into the pit, and when the bones were finally put in, everyone buried and sealed them with soil, and then piled soil outside to seal them, and several earthen tombs were roughly formed.
"Let's lead the spirit!" At this time, Su Ziji stepped forward and inserted the spirit flag in his hand on the grave, and these, whether it was his inner family Ye Buregret, or his friend Yu Lu and others, could not come forward.
In the process, except for the wild Taoist, he can speak, and only Su Ziji can open his mouth when praying.
The cold wind was blowing, and the scene was quiet.
But in the eyes of the wild Taoist, his heart perked up and said, "Childe, you can set up a tombstone." ”
This is something that has been prepared for a long time, and Su Ziji took a three-foot stone slab according to his words, and inserted it into the north of each tomb in the same order.
Once it is reached, the wild Taoist said in a deep voice: "Quick, son, quickly bow to the ancestors, this time it is a gift of three bows and nine bows!"
When Su Ziji heard this, he didn't dare to slack off, so he was busy collecting his mind, kneeling in front of the grave according to his words, and bowed down.
The wild people are not easy at this time, because of the migration of the ancestral tomb, the location of the point is good, but to occupy this leyline, the ancestors and the land have to be sensitive, so they dare not slack off, and when Su Ziji bows, he observes.
"Hey, just the first to bow, the white gas drooped and poured into the cemetery. The wild Dao people's hearts moved, but they didn't speak, and continued to watch the movement.
He was silent, only to see that during the second bow, suddenly something seemed to be opened in the tomb, and there was a "poof" sound, followed by the sound of flowing water.
"This, although there is a spiritual response under the bow, this is too fast, right?" The wild Daoist heart jumped, frowned, and waited for the third bow, a trace of white gas came out, and it floated up lightly, and when it was on Su Ziji's body, there was also a trace of floating up, and it landed in the ancestral hall a little farther away.
At this time, he couldn't think too much, and the wild Taoist said: "Childe, the white qi is corresponding, and the ancestral spirit has received it, although it has not yet formed a yin house, but it has been combined with the spirit and earth, and it has been completed." ”
"A small ancestral hall has been built above, waiting for the tomb to be repaired can be on the first incense, below thirty acres of slope fields, I inspected Wu, Lai two tenants, are honest people, will pay tribute to incense every day. ”
"Usually I also serve the cemetery and give weeding, so it is set at three or seven cases, and the annual quota is paid by thirty percent, what does the son think?"
Sanqi is a little lower, but Su Ziji has no clansmen now, as long as he relies on this to make people do his best, he bowed his head and said, "You did a good job." ”
The wild Taoist breathed a sigh of relief at this time, this can be regarded as a successful migration in peace, as for the difference in the burial process, he frowned and pondered, always feeling that something was wrong.
"Yes, this Xiaoyu Mountain is not a real Yu Mountain, it is just the name of the county, and it can be regarded as a bit of a leyline, but it is not rich and expensive. ”
"Now this strange appearance is not rich and rich, but it has the appearance of a spring in the earth. ”
"It's not big, but it's a long-lasting feeling, hey, it seems that it's not just about looking at the face, even looking at feng shui, my ability is not at home. ”
It was done, and there were only some finishing touches left that did not have to be personally involved, and Su Ziji suddenly felt that his inexplicable body was relaxed, and it seemed that a small but always existing stone had been removed.
"No matter what, as a member of the Su family, this sacrificial obligation must be fulfilled. ”
"To be worthy of others and to myself is the principle of my life. ”
Su Ziji felt this change, and only then did he breathe a sigh of relief, not to mention, after this series of processes, it was not that he was physically strong, and he was afraid that he would feel tired earlier.
Yu Lu, who had been watching from the sidelines, saw Su Ziji worship the new tomb a few more times, and at the same time, he was also happy for Su Ziji.
The person who used to be a classmate with Su Ziji, but now has been left far behind, Yu Lu is not without a sense of victory, nor is he without jealousy, after all, when he was admitted to Tongsheng, he was at the top of the list, and Su Ziji was only the end.
It's just that my heart is happier than my friends.
"There are too many things going on during this time, and I wanted to get together with you before leaving, but some time ago it has been raining constantly, and the embankment has been destroyed, so it has been eventful. ”
Facing these friends who could only get together at this time, Su Ziji said with some guilt.
At that time, Mo said that he was partying with friends, and every time he went out, Ye Buregret was worried about it, for fear of encountering danger.
At that time, when I went to meet friends, I just didn't have eyes.
And it rained for so long, and as soon as the rain stopped, he was busy moving the grave, and according to the rules before, it was not easy to gather with friends.
Time is squeezed, and it's not that you can't get together on these days, but it's really not necessary.
"When we come back from the capital, we will have a good gathering. ”
