Chapter 480 Moving the Grave for Reburial (Part 1)

Jiang Chen glanced at the young people playing and playing behind the Cao family crowd and said.

"We will go to the cemetery soon. I hope everyone will stop laughing and shouting in front of the cemetery. Being solemn and solemn in front of the cemetery is the most basic respect for the ancestors. I hope all of you must remember this."

As soon as Jiang Chen said these words, the surrounding Cao family members stopped talking for an instant, except for the few young people at the back of the crowd who did not listen to Jiang Chen's words, who were still laughing and playing around.

In this suddenly quiet environment, the laughter of those people seemed particularly loud and harsh.

At this time, the elderly people closest to Jiang Chen apparently heard the laughter coming from behind the crowd, and their faces suddenly darkened.

One of the old men turned his head, hit the ground with the crutch in his hand, and cursed.

"Asshole!"

Even without Jiang Chen's reminder, many people knew not to laugh or shout near the cemetery because it was a sign of respect for the deceased.

However, this group of young people in the family were actually laughing and playing near the grave on the day when they were moving their ancestors' graves?

This not only means that they have no sense of awe in their hearts, but also means that they have no respect or respect for their ancestors.

Just when these old people were about to get angry, someone in the crowd immediately gave the young people a few words of advice, and the laughter from behind the crowd disappeared.

Jiang Chen glanced at the quiet crowd and continued.

"When the tomb is officially moved later, everyone must remember not to dirty the inner hall, which is the grave.

For example, spitting, spitting, throwing dirty things, wiping your nose, etc. are not allowed in the inner hall. Otherwise, it is disrespectful and will easily cause the anger of the ancestors and affect the feng shui of the Yin Mansion.

In addition, the person invited to help should not be someone who has had bad luck recently, otherwise the bad luck will easily remain in the inner hall, which will have a negative impact on both the ancestors and future generations."

After Jiang Chen finished speaking, the crowd suddenly started talking.

In the customs of many places, there is a tradition of asking people for help, and Heqiu County is no exception. Some of these people were invited by the Cao family to help.

Now that Jiang Chen suddenly heard what he said, the crowd naturally started talking about it.

We are here to help out of kindness, but are you still afraid that we will bring bad luck to you?

At this time, even the faces of the old people showed a trace of embarrassment and confusion. After they looked at each other, an old man said to Jiang Chen.

"Master, don't worry, the people we invited this time are all friends with good luck."

Jiang Chen just nodded noncommittally to the old man's words. He could tell at a glance how lucky these people were.

However, I have already reminded them that the choice is their own business.

Jiang Chen once again told everyone in the Cao family the issues that needed attention. By the time he finished speaking, it was already past eight o'clock.

Jiang Chen glanced at his watch and said to everyone.

"It's almost time, let's go up now."

After the words fell, Jiang Chen walked towards the grave of Grandpa Cao Chengwen on the mountain.

Some middle-aged people from the Cao family helped the old man and immediately followed Jiang Chen, followed at the end by young men carrying various items.

Because there were old people in the team, even though the mountain was not steep, their speed was very slow. By the time everyone arrived in front of the grave of Grandpa Cao Chengwen, the time was almost up.

Under Jiang Chen's instructions, the two young men placed an incense table in front of the cemetery, and placed incense, candles, tributes and other items on the incense table. Someone on the other side also took out some paper money and placed it aside.

Jiang Chen looked at his watch again and found that the time had already reached six o'clock. He immediately said to several elderly people in the Cao family.

"Descendants of the Cao family, please come forward and pray for your ancestors."

After Jiang Chen finished speaking, an old man immediately walked to the incense table with a memorial in his hand.

Jiang Chen had asked them to write the memorial text before, and the content of the memorial text was only to pray for the reason why the ancestors moved their graves, the address of the new grave, and to pray for the blessings and protection of the ancestors for future generations.

While the old man was praying, someone began to burn paper money.

After the old man finished praying, he burned the sacrificial inscriptions and the last piece of paper money. Then the old man stepped aside, while Jiang Chen walked to the incense table.

Jiang Chen stood in front of the incense table, holding a talisman in his hand, and began to recite the "An Earth Divine Mantra":

Yuanshi'an Town, general message to all spirits. Yuedu Zhenguan, the spirit of the land.

Left society and right country, don't be alarmed. Return to the right path and clarify the inside and outside.

Everyone is in position and guarding their families. The Supreme Being has ordered us to search for evil spirits.

The God-King who protects the Dharma, protects and recites sutras. Convert to the great road, Yuan Henry Zhen.

After reciting the "God's Mantra to Announcing the Earth", Jiang Chen began to recite the "Mantra to Enlighten the Earth":

The land here is the most spiritual. It reaches the sky and the earth, and can enter and leave the underworld.

When you hold a summons for me, you are not allowed to stay. On the day of merit, you will report it to the Supreme Being.

After reciting the incantation, Jiang Chen threw the talisman in his hand forward. The talisman suddenly exploded when it flew over the grave of Grandpa Cao Chengwen, and then an almost invisible light shot into the cemetery.

middle.

"Okay, it's time to break ground." Jiang Chen's words immediately woke up everyone around him from their shock.

After Jiang Chen finished speaking, an old man who looked quite old quickly walked out of the crowd. This man was the eldest son of Grandpa Cao Chengwen and Cao Chengwen's great grandfather.

The reason why this old man came here was because of Jiang Chen's request.

You should know that when moving a grave, the first shovelful of soil in the grave must be done by the eldest son of the deceased. If the deceased has no heirs, he can find a "Quanfu person" to take his place.

The so-called fully blessed woman refers to a woman who has her parents alive, a husband, and children.

Now that Cao Chengwen's great-grandfather is still alive, there is no need to find someone from Quanfu to take his place.

After Cao Chengwen's grandfather dug the first shovel of soil, he was helped aside to rest. His task had been completed, and then others began to dig and break the tomb.

Since there were not many people doing it, the excavation was very fast, and it didn't take long to see some rotten coffins in the tomb.

At this time, the people who made the move stopped what they were doing, and everyone present looked at Jiang Chen.

"Get the red, white, and yellow cloths I asked you to prepare before. The sun must be blocked before opening the coffin. The sun must not shine on the remains."

Because the tomb was moved during the day this time, in order to prevent the sun from shining on the remains, the coffin must be shielded before the bones are removed.

To block the sunlight here, the daughter or granddaughter of the tomb owner can use a black umbrella to block it, or you can use red, white, and yellow cloth to block it.

After careful consideration, Jiang Chen chose to use three colors to block the sun.

After hearing Jiang Chen's instructions, someone immediately brought the three-color cloth prepared in advance and quickly covered the top of the cemetery.

After Jiang Chen made sure that the three-color cloth had been fixed, he spoke.
