Chapter 89
Grave Relocation (16)
I waited for a while, but no sound came through, so I said to the other side: "Taoist Master, if that doesn't work, let's find a larger piece of black cloth to surround the grave, so that it will be easier to pick out the dragon body."
"Nonsense!" Qing Xuanzi cursed and said, "Only by covering the grave can we ensure that your grandfather's Yin Qi will not leak out and that he will not get sick in the underworld. Covering it wide is unlucky and not good for the deceased.
It also affects the feng shui of your village."
Listening to this, I thought it was broad daylight and the Yang Qi was too strong, so it might hurt Grandpa, so I said, "Then it would be more convenient for us to pick up the dragon body at night than now?"
"The gloomy atmosphere is heavy at night, and there are many lonely souls and wild ghosts around, so accidents are more likely to happen. Only in this way can we proceed safely." Qing Xuanzi shined a flashlight over it, and I found the hand on the coffin lid.
It was covered with maggots, so I quickly pulled it back and shook it vigorously.
"Then what should we do now?" I asked Qing Xuanzi.
The person on the other side of the coffin was silent for a while and said: "Chen Baxian, you have been the Eight Immortals for a while, so you must be very brave. Let's poke a few holes on both sides of the coffin, reach in and pull out the dragon body. It only costs 206 yuan."
Just bones."
I was startled by his words, and reached in to touch the bones. Isn't this scary? I was stunned for a while, but I didn't have the courage. Finally, I thought about it, there was no other way besides this, so I gritted my teeth and told Qing Xuanzi.
Say hello.
Then, I moved my body down, stretched out my hand to touch one side of the coffin, and with a slight exertion, it was like tearing apart cloth, and I easily broke off a piece of wood, which was as big as my hand, and the size of the tomb.
It felt a bit crowded, and there was nowhere to throw the palm-sized piece of wood. I had no choice but to throw the piece of wood into the coffin along the opening.
I stretched out my hand to explore the inside of the coffin. The moisture inside was very heavy. No wonder my grandfather said in his dream that the house was leaking. A lot of water had already entered the coffin. I didn’t dare to touch along the coffin board, so I touched the old man’s hand in mid-air.
It was empty for a long time, and the body must have been corrupted long ago.
To be honest, in this environment, I was extremely scared. However, thinking that my mother's illness might be related to my grandfather's grave, I gritted my teeth and touched the bottom tremblingly, as if I could feel something.
It felt hard when I first touched it. I touched it carefully and found it was round and somewhat long, like a leg bone.
"Get out!" I didn't even look at him. I raised my leg and kicked him on the butt. I've watched this typical TV series so much that I really thought there was gold in every grave.
After staying in this tomb for almost two hours, my hands and feet were already numb. Now when I heard his words, I only felt relieved.
Without thinking, I took it out and looked at it with the light coming from the opposite side. It was indeed a bone. I quickly took out the red cloth from my chest and wrapped the bone.
"Jiuyaozi, are you done?" Lao Wang came over and asked me.
"There's still two dollars left. I'll go inside the coffin and feel it again." After saying that, I stretched out my hand and felt inside the coffin again. This time I felt it very thoroughly. From the head to the tail of the coffin, not even a single place was missed.
I touched every corner and found nothing hard.
"It seems to be 102 yuan too!" Qing Xuanzi replied in a low voice.
When this guy used the word "why is love worthy", I knew he had something to ask me for. When I was studying, I had a good idea of his temperament. I didn't talk nonsense to him and said directly: "If you have anything to say, just tell me!"
I touched it for thirty times in a row and made several openings. Sometimes I touched three or four pieces with one hand, and sometimes I touched eight or nine pieces with one hand. It took about an hour, and there were more and more bones inside the red cloth. I roughly counted them.
He counted 102 yuan and asked in a low voice towards the other side of the coffin, "Taoist Master, I touched 102 yuan. How are you doing there?"
"We're getting down to business, hurry up and wash off!" I said to Fatty Guo and walked over to Qing Xuanzi.
I raised my head and took a look at his face, and burst out laughing. He had a turtle painted on his face. The painting was quite good. The important thing is that the turtle has no head. The painting should be meant to ridicule Guo Guo.
Fat Man, no need to think about it, is definitely Joyce’s masterpiece.
I looked up and saw Qing Xuanzi opposite the tomb. His body was covered in mud and he was holding a package in his hand. He didn't look like a Taoist man at all. We looked at each other and smiled bitterly, but no one said anything.
I nodded and said uncertainly: "It should be done!" As I said that, I motioned to Lao Wang to come over and help me, and pulled me up.
There was silence for a while and then he said, "It's possible. Let's wrap the dragon's body first and cover it with a black cloth. Don't let the sun shine on it when we go out."
I just came up and was about to wipe the dirt off my body. Fatty Guo put his head over and said, "Brother Ninth, have you dug any gold after staying in the tomb for so long?"
"Brother Ninth, I have been worrying about you for so long, and you treat me like this. This makes me feel so embarrassed!" Fatty Guo said with a sad face.
"Come out, come out, Jiuyaozi and the others are coming out." Lao Wang's voice came.
"Brother Ninth, look at my handsome face!" As he said that, Fatty Guo turned his face.
Maybe it’s because I’m a member of the Eight Immortals, but I’m not scared when I see the skeleton. I even feel a little familiar with it, but I can’t explain why.
After finishing this piece of bone, I reached in and touched a few more pieces. There was nothing hard as far as I could reach. I then moved to another place, opened another opening on the side of the coffin, and continued to touch it.
"Taoist priest, there are no bones in the coffin. Is it because the tomb is too dark and we counted it wrong?" I asked tentatively.
I wrapped the skeleton with a red cloth on the inside and a black cloth on the outside. I stood up and pulled off the black cloth on my head. The dazzling sunlight came over me and my eyes got used to it. I blinked several times.
Just getting used to the sunshine outside.
I followed the sound and saw that Lao Wang and a group of Eight Immortals were sitting near the new coffin. Their faces were painted with a sinister look, and they had a cigarette in their mouths. They were filled with mist and looked very at ease.
Fatty Guo grabbed me, pointed his finger in the direction of Joyce, and said in a crying tone: "Brother Ninth, she won't let me. I washed it once before, and she kicked my butt until it turned red. She threatened that if I dared to wash it,
I'll kick him even harder next time. You always have mercy on me and say a good word for me. What's the point of painting a turtle on the face of an old man? Look at Lao Wang and the others, they painted them one by one.
That’s so domineering!”
I glanced at Joyce with doubtful eyes. She was listening to music next to her mother. Seeing me looking away, she nodded symbolically and said nothing.
What's wrong with this girl? Ever since I gave her a Wong Ka-Kui tape, she seems to have gone crazy. She usually likes to give me a few insults when it's okay, but now she avoids me when she sees me. A tape can change a person's temperament.
Already?
No, I mean she has changed her temperament and Fatty Guo's face was painted like this. I really couldn't figure it out, so I didn't care about her and just asked Fatty Guo to wash it off. He didn't need to paint it.
At this time, Qing Xuanzi waved to me and said: "Chen Baxian, come here, let's put the bones together and see how many there are, right?"
