Chapter 482 Moving the Grave for Reburial (Part 2)
On a barren mountain, dozens of people were gathered together, and in the tomb surrounded by the crowd, there was an octogenarian old man who was busy non-stop.
If this scene were seen by an uninformed person, it would definitely feel very inconsistent and strange, but at this time, no one here had such a feeling.
With the blessing of the spiritual energy in his body, even though the old man collecting bones from the grave had been busy for more than an hour, he did not show any signs of fatigue.
Judging from the old man's condition, he will definitely be able to persist until the remains are collected.
However, at this time they faced a new problem.
After the spiritual energy entered the body, the old man's physical condition was improved and strengthened in a short period of time, and his movement of picking up bones was indeed much more efficient. However, the bones were already covered with sawdust and dust, and the efficiency of picking up bones was also greatly reduced.
Looking at the sun that had risen to the middle of the sky, Jiang Chen lowered his head and glanced at his watch and found that the time was about to reach eleven o'clock.
Glancing at the old man who was still busy in the grave, Jiang Chen frowned slightly.
You must know that in terms of the time of moving the tomb, the tomb can be moved during the day or at night, but whether it is during the day or at night, there are different time requirements.
When moving the grave during the day, it is best to do it noon, so as to avoid burning the bones.
Of course, this does not mean that you are afraid of the sun burning the bones, but that you are afraid that the Yang Qi between heaven and earth will burn the bones. After all, the Yang Qi is strongest at noon.
Therefore, even if there is a three-color cloth covering the grave pit, or the grave is moved on a cloudy day, bones cannot be collected at noon.
As for the time of moving graves at night, most of them are completed between Zi time and Chou time, and can be extended to Yin time at most.
Looking at the old man who was still busy in the tomb, Jiang Chen had no choice but to speak.
"Old man, please stop for a moment."
Jiang Chen's words not only attracted the attention of the old man, but also the eyes of the Cao family members around him.
Seeing the doubtful looks in everyone's eyes, Jiang Chen had no choice but to tell him the taboo of not picking up bones at noon. Upon hearing this, the Cao family quickly asked Jiang Chen for a solution.
"No matter what, you can't pick up bones at noon. In this case, you can only wait until noon before continuing to pick up bones."
"You find two pieces of black cloth, cover the grave pit and the bones that were picked out, and wait until after noon to continue picking up the bones."
The Cao family naturally agreed to Jiang Chen's request, and they quickly found the black cloth Jiang Chen needed.
Under Jiang Chen's command, the grave pit and the recovered bones were quickly covered, and for safety's sake, Jiang Chen pasted two talismans on the black cloth.
After covering the grave pit and the remains, when Jiang Chen was about to turn around and leave, Cao Chengwen came up to him.
It turned out that the Cao family wanted to take advantage of these two hours to invite Jiang Chen to have lunch. After all, it was already noon.
Regarding the Cao family's thoughts, Jiang Chen was naturally as clear as a mirror, and he directly rejected the Cao family's proposal.
Funeral matters are different from other things. The tomb relocation is just halfway through. Although it has to be stopped for some reason, it is really inappropriate if the remains are just placed here and they turn around to eat.
Jiang Chen glanced at the Cao family and had no choice but to shake his head helplessly, then led Sun Shangyi to a distance and began to continue to guide him in his cultivation.
Time passed really quickly, and noon passed in the blink of an eye. Jiang Chen and the Cao family returned to the vicinity of the tomb again, and the old man continued to collect bones.
Another hour later, all the remains in the grave were picked up. Fortunately, there were no further accidents this time.
After all the remains were pulled out, Jiang Chen began to instruct the old man to clean up the remains and put them into a new coffin.
Watching the old man clean up the remains in an orderly manner, Jiang Chen turned around and said to the elderly people in the Cao family.
"Find someone to dig another eight inches of blood and soil under the coffin, then put it in the clean bags I asked you to prepare, and move it to a new cemetery in a while."
"Remember: blood and soil should not be thrown away casually."
The Cao family did not hesitate to respond to Jiang Chen's instructions, and someone immediately began to collect the blood and soil from under the coffin.
After all, there is strength in numbers, and soon the blood and soil under the coffin were collected.
"Master, what should we do with this tomb?" The Cao family approached Jiang Chen again.
"Just fill up the grave pit." Jiang Chen replied, "Remember to smash the tombstone and push it down."
Under Jiang Chen's instructions, the Cao family took a radish and threw it into the grave pit. Then Grandpa Cao Chengwen filled the grave pit with the first shovelful of soil and sprinkled it directly on the radish.
, and then sprinkled a handful of sorghum into the grave pit, and then began to fill it with soil.
Jiang Chen strongly disagreed with many people's statement that the original grave pit did not need to be filled.
Although the remains of the deceased have been removed, their aura will not dissipate quickly. If the original tomb is contaminated at this time, it will still have a certain impact on future generations.
After the grave pit was filled, all the remains of Grandpa Cao Chengwen were put into new coffins.
After a while, a group of people took paper money, held soul-inducing flags, and carried the coffin and walked down the mountain in a mighty manner.
Fortunately, the low hills here are not steep, so the group carried the coffin to the bottom of the mountain without much effort, and then walked towards the new cemetery.
At this time, a brand new grave pit had been dug at the new cemetery chosen by Jiang Chen for Grandpa Cao Chengwen.
And unlike those like Jiang Chen who were still hungry, the people digging the graves here were well fed and drunk.
In fact, this is also a custom. The host family brings more food and drink to the tomb diggers, so that they can eat and drink well, which is called "treasure tomb".
Fortunately, the new cemetery that Jiang Chen found for Grandpa Cao Chengwen was not far from the original cemetery, and not long after, they arrived at the foot of the new cemetery.
After arriving here, Jiang Chen frowned.
"The atmosphere here is different from yesterday?!"
Jiang Chen looked around, then closed his eyes and released his spiritual consciousness to start sensing. However, he soon opened his eyes again, and his brows frowned even more tightly.
When Jiang Chen came here yesterday, the aura here was still normal, so he found a new cemetery for Cao Chengwen's great-grandfather on this mountain.
But when he came here again today, Jiang Chen suddenly discovered that the aura here had changed and became much worse.
The aura of this mountain at this time was the same as the aura he sensed on the low mountains in front of him yesterday. It had undergone some kind of change due to some unknown reasons.
There was no trace of this change in the aura at all. No matter how Jiang Chen explored the sensors, he found nothing unusual.
However, Jiang Chen has been able to determine that this abnormality is coming from the front, and the closer to the front, the greater the change in the aura.
While he was doubting, Jiang Chen's mind suddenly moved, and an idea came directly to his mind.
Could it be that there is something (person) waiting for me ahead?
Jiang Chen would never forget why he appeared in Heqiu County. The strange feeling in his heart at the beginning left a deep impression on him, but he could no longer feel that strange feeling in the past two days.
The last time he had this feeling was with Cao Chengwen, but now he couldn't feel that strange feeling with Cao Chengwen.
Now the Cao family's tomb relocation is about to be completed, but the people or things waiting for them have not yet appeared, which proves that the people or things waiting for them have nothing to do with the Cao family itself.
So, wait for your...
