Chapter 120: Digging the Grave and Digging the Coffin
"What Master Li, you asked me to take someone to dig a grave?" In the early morning of spring, the sun was shining warmly on Wangtang Village. In the living room of the village chief Wang Lao Wu's house, he looked at a young man in a dark green robe standing opposite him with a look of surprise and asked.
"Yes, what I said just now is true, you should go and inform the families of the deceased, so that they can prepare to dig up the graves. Li Ge looked at the village chief with a surprised face and said lightly.
"This ......" Wang Lao Wu lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and finally raised his head and nodded, "Okay, since Master Xiao Li, I believe in you, now I will go and inform the people in the village." ”
Although Wang Lao Wu had doubts about Li Ge's words, he had really seen the methods of this young man at the moment. Although the strange thing of resurrection from the dead, he only heard the older generation mention it from the story when he was a child, and it was illusory and unreliable, but now he is willing to believe the words of the youth.
"Mother Blue Flower, I have something to tell you. After Wang Lao Wu responded to Li Ge's words, he came to the blue flower house.
"Woo~" In the room, a woman sat slumped next to a coffin placed in the hall and cried in a low voice. After Wang Laowu's voice sounded, she turned her head to look at him, and then twisted her head and cried.
"Don't be sad about the blue flower, mother, I came to say ......" Wang Lao Wu paused, and then continued, "Actually, there are a few masters with great skills in the village, and they said that they can make the blue flower return to the yang." So, don't let the blue flower be buried today. ”
"Fifth brother, are you telling the truth?" the woman got up and ran quickly to the village chief, who was about to leave the house, and grabbed him by the arm.
"It shouldn't be wrong, those masters are people with great magical powers, and they said that they can make the blue flower return to the sun tonight, so don't be too sad, big sister. Wang Lao Wu nodded, withdrew his hand from the woman's arms, and said, "Okay, I still have to inform other families, and you can listen to the letter at home." ”
"Okay~ Okay fifth brother. When the woman heard this, she nodded confusedly and happily, and looked at Wang Lao Wu's back for a moment before returning to the house.
"I don't know if what Master Xiao Li said is true, belch~ No matter, now that the words have been released, everything will be watched after the grave is opened later. After making some announcements in the village, Wang Lao Wu hurried back to his home.
"Master Xiao Li, I have already informed the people in the village according to your instructions. After entering the door, Wang Lao Wu said a word to Li Ge, who was sitting in the hall.
"Okay~" Li Ge nodded, got up and stood at the gate with his hands in his hands.
Not long after, Wu Youqiu and Jingchen also came to the village chief's house rubbing their fishy sleepy eyes. After a while, a group of people gathered in front of the village chief's house, including some men with shovels in their hands.
"Fifth Uncle Wang, my lady has passed away for a month, I'm afraid that the bones have rotted, are you sure she can still return to the yang?"
"This ......" Wang Lao Wu, who was standing at the door, heard the words and moved his gaze to Li Ge beside him.
"It's a strange thing, and I don't want to explain it more, but if you want your wife to be able to return to the sun, come with me to dig the grave. If I can't get her back to the yang, then I'll be at your disposal. Li Ge walked into the crowd with his hands in his hands and said aloud.
"Master Xiao Li, what you are talking about is there. When Wang Lao Wuyi heard this, he hurriedly walked to Li Ge's side and said a word, and then said loudly, "Fellow villagers, although it is said that the earth is safe and the dead are big, this tomb cannot be easily opened, but I believe that this little Master Li will be responsible for what he said." ”
As soon as the words of the village chief Wang Lao Wu came out, the villagers gathered at the door began to talk in small voices.
After a while, the man who had died before sighed, "Fifth Uncle Wang, the person I respect most in the village is you, since you said so, then according to what this little master said, go and dig the grave." ”
"Okay~" Wang Lao Wu nodded, and said to Li Ge again, "Master Xiao Li, you see when we go." ”
"Go now. Li Ge answered, looked at Wu Youqiu and Jingchen beside him, and the three of them led the villagers towards the Wangtang Village cemetery behind the village.
When the group arrived at the cemetery, their families gathered around the four new graves. Some of them stood by the grave and sobbed quietly, while others stood by the grave and bowed their heads and were silent. Although they were unwilling to let the coffin of the deceased be stubbornly released, they could only accept it silently due to the majesty of the village chief and the wish that the deceased could return to the yang.
"Master Xiao Li, you can dig now. Wang Lao Wu looked at the four new graves in the cemetery, and then moved his gaze to Li Ge, who nodded silently, and then ordered the village men with shovels to dig up the graves.
"One-two-three~pull, onetwothree~pull. After digging for a while, under the shouts of more than a dozen village people, the first coffin village was pulled out of the grave by a thick hemp rope tied to the coffin head.
"Lady, it's not good for your husband, you have to come to disturb your soul when you die. After the coffin was unearthed, the man named Tang Baihu knelt on the coffin and cried bitterly.
Seeing this, several older villagers around hurriedly walked to Tang Baihu's side, and let out some words of comfort from their mouths.
"Amitabha Buddha is so good! If you can't see through the separation of life and death in the world, in the end, it will only be exchanged for a gloomy sadness. Jingchen stared at Tang Baihu lying on the side of the coffin, and there was a trace of tears in his eyes. The parting scene in front of him reminded him of his master's emptiness.
"Jingchen, what's wrong with you?" Wu Youqiu saw Jingchen's expression, reached out and patted him lightly on the shoulder.
"I'm fine, big brother. The little monk shook his head, looked away, and looked at the villagers who were digging up the second grave.
It was noon in a flash, and although the spring sun was not scorching, all the people who dug the grave were sweating profusely at the moment. With the shout of "one, two, three ~ pull", the fourth coffin was dug out of the grave.
"Village Chief Wang, you can have these coffins carried back to the village. Li Ge looked at the coffin and confessed to Wang Lao Wu.
"Won't you open the coffin now?" Wang Lao Wu asked in amazement, then nodded quickly, and ordered the village Han to carry the four coffins back to the village.
Although it is said that the dead are honored, the coffin of the dead is extremely taboo. After the four coffins entered the village, after some discussion, they were all carried to Tang Baihu's house.
"Master Li, my lady's coffin has been dug up now, how do you want to make him yang?" Tang Baihu stood in his hall and looked at Li Ge and asked.
"Open the lid of your lady's coffin and you'll know. Li Ge replied without the slightest wave, and then sat on a long wooden bench in the hall with Jingchen and Wu Youqiu.
When Tang Baihu heard this, a trace of doubt appeared on his face. A moment later, with the help of several villagers, he pulled out the nails that sealed the coffin, and pushed the coffin open with trembling hands.
