Chapter 6 A hint from the ancestors

"ah!!"

I yelled and woke up from my dream. My back was already wet, mainly because the immersive feeling was too realistic.

Damn it, it’s so ominous to have this kind of dream before you’re buried. Is it some kind of warning from God?

Rubbing my swollen eyelids, I glanced out the window and found that it was already broad daylight. I had no time to think about it, so I painted the prepared coffin. After painting it, I felt panicked. The coffin painted with bright red paint had nothing to do with my dream last night. The coffins inside are all exactly the same. Is there such a coincidence?

Just when I was about to set up the mechanism for the coffin lid as Hong Yan said, Hong Yan's birth date suddenly popped into my mind.

According to her birth date, her five elements are gold, and the corresponding direction of gold in the five elements is the west. According to Feng Shui, people with five elements of gold should be buried in the west in a location with more soil and minerals after death, because the ore contains It contains a certain metallicity and native gold, which is of great benefit to it.

However, Hong Yan asked me to bury her body in the woody land to the east. The principle that metal and wood are in conflict with each other is a very common sense. Is it because she doesn't understand or has another agenda?

"By the way, cats and tigers are the same kind of animals, and the five elements are all wood. Hong Yan did this not for himself, but for that strange cat? There is also a possibility that the ghost that possessed Er Mazi yesterday was not Hong Yan's ghost. , but that cat, if you think about it carefully, is it possible that it really became a spirit?"

"In addition, the locust tree is a five-yin tree with a special function of absorbing souls and nourishing evil spirits. She asked me to plant two of them in front of her grave. There must be something fishy about it."

I hesitated. If the guess was true, then both Hong Yan and Wei Mao must have some conspiracy. If I fulfilled her wish, wouldn't I be aiding the evil?

But now she has promised her, and if she goes back on her word, she may suffer unimaginable revenge!

Whenever I encountered something big and couldn't make up my mind, I would go to the family ancestral hall and make a decision by tossing a coin.

"Dad and ancestors, I am the only bloodline in the family. You have to remind me. If the flower is up, I will agree to the evil thing's request. If it is the letter, I will risk everything to follow it. She worked hard."

I finished offering incense, kowtowed, and started tossing coins.

The first time it came up, I flipped it a second time, and it still came up.

I tossed the coin nine times in a row, and the most exaggerated one was when I wanted to deliberately turn the coin up, but there seemed to be some kind of force that turned the coin over.

This...is this a crazy hint from the ancestors?

Your family will not harm you. I finally made up my mind. No matter what crooked ideas Hong Yan has, I will never let her get what she wants.

Back in the hall, I reinforced the mahogany coffin and set up a mechanism inside, but the lid was not removed with an opener. If someone inside touched the mechanism, I guarantee that she would not get a good result.

Since I want to go against it, I can't be soft-hearted. I made a special trip to the flower market and ordered two large willow trees from the green plant store.

Willows and locust trees are both trees with extremely yin energy, but their functions are completely different. The locust tree can nourish the soul, but the willow tree has a powerful ability to bind the soul.

The willow tree is also known as the "soul-nailing willow". It is said that as long as an adult willow tree is planted on the grave, the soul of the deceased will be bound by the willow tree's yin energy. Unless the willow tree is cut down, he will not be able to reincarnate for the rest of his life.

If you love someone, plant a soul-nurturing locust tree in front of their grave.

If you hate someone, be sure to plant a soul-nailing willow on her grave! !

The enshrinement ceremony was scheduled for noon, which is the most yang time of the day. Unfortunately, the weather was not kind and it happened to be a cloudy and rainy day. The drizzling light rain brought waves of coolness to my body.

Without relatives and neighbors, the huge mourning hall seemed empty.

Hong Xin and Hong Wei held up the body, and I neatly placed the bedding and pillows under the coffin into the coffin, and then placed the body into the coffin.

"Juanzi, go and get the jewelry from the drawer in mom's bedroom." Hong Wei's wife was also present, and she responded slowly when she heard the call.

"You watch first, I'm going to the bathroom." Er Mazi ran to the second floor holding her stomach. Not long after, Juanzi came downstairs with a beautifully shaped box.

"The pupils are dilated, the breathing is rapid, and the eyes are slightly averted. This is a sign of nervousness and guilt. What did she do in the room?" I noticed Juanzi's expression thoughtfully.

Then, Hong Xin took me out of the door under the pretext of discussing the matter. When I was approaching the door, I turned around deliberately and vaguely saw Hong Wei holding a bottle in his hand and pouring it into the jewelry box. The bottle contained white The transparent liquid naturally cannot be water. If I guessed correctly, it should be something like venom. It is mainly used to prevent tomb robbers, and it may also be used to prevent me. After all, people's hearts are separated from each other.

At this time, Er Mazi came over with a weird look on his face after taking a poop, pulled me to the side, and said that he had just seen Hong Wei's wife stealing something, and also said that the jewelry box was filled with gold and silver jewelry. He estimated it to be one or two hundred thousand.

The main reason why the funerary objects were so lavish was that they belonged to Hong Yan. Hong Xin and Hong Wei didn't dare to touch them, but they didn't expect Juanzi to steal some of them. No wonder she showed such an expression.

There is no need for us to expose Juanzi. Ermazi looked back at me, his foolish eyes filled with greed, "Brother Jun, how about we..."

"Don't even think about it!" I knew what he was going to do when he opened his mouth. I shouted sternly and warned him not to think about jewelry. He curled his lips indifferently. It seemed that he had ignored it, but he didn't say anything more. Mention this.

After the burial objects have been placed, the next step is to close the coffin. At this time, the children will kneel aside and shout, "Mom, my child is unfilial! I will seal it for you!"

The nails are collected to seal the coffin lid, the prepared sacred tablet is placed in the middle of the mourning hall, and then the person takes off his filial piety and kowtows in worship.

In order to save the soul of Hong Yan, I asked a middle-aged Taoist priest named Guan Tianzi from Qingfeng Temple in the county through my connections. He was a friend of my father. My father told me before his death that this man had real abilities and was definitely not a good person. Master Yuan's kind of pretentious person can't compare.

Nowadays, most Chinese people ask monks to do their rituals. Little do they know that Taoism is the largest local religion in our country. When it comes to opening forums, forgiving souls and binding ghosts, Taoist priests are authentic and reliable. The methods and procedures of monks' practices are all learned from Taoist priests. !

Some people may question why Taoism declined if it was so awesome. This is because the central idea of Taoism is that people are divided into high and low. Buddhism advocates the equality of all living beings, and most people in the world are ordinary people. Who wants to be a "bitch"? ?

Before the hanging, I reminded Emperor Guan that the contents inside the coffin were unclean. He didn't answer. He took out a piece of tortoise shell from his arms and placed it on the coffin to play with it.

"Crack!"

Within a few seconds, the tortoise shell suddenly cracked, and the Emperor Guan looked horrified.

After a long time, he took a deep breath and said to me helplessly, "I'm sorry, I can't handle this matter."

I asked him what was going on, and he told me that the secret must not be revealed.

Before leaving, he picked up a pen and wrote an obscure acrostic poem on paper.

Officials protect each other,

No one cares inside or outside,

Something comes to you uninvited,

The road to warmth and warmth in human relationships is long.

"There is someone in the coffin!!" My eyes widened, and I always felt that something was different around me.

When I looked around again, I found that there was one person missing in the room ...
