Chapter 90: Moving the Grave Seventeen
Chapter 90 Grave Relocation (Seventeen)
I walked up to Qing Xuanzi, handed him the package in my hand, and asked, "It shouldn't be less!"
"I'm not sure about this, let's see and see!" He took the package and asked Lao Wang and the Eight Immortals to pull up a big black cloth and surround the new coffin, which was about three or four square meters. He also asked his father to come out of the new coffin.
He stretched out his hand to explore inside the coffin and nodded with satisfaction. His father must have warmed the coffin.
Later, Prince Qingxuanzi brought some lighting tools and asked Lao Wang and others to hold the black cloth in one hand and the lighting tools in the other to illuminate the temporary small dark room.
Immediately afterwards, he opened the package, spread out the red cloth, sprinkled some rootless water on the bones, then lit three pillars of fragrant incense and inserted them next to the coffin, saying: "Filial sons and filial grandsons, kneel down to welcome the dragon body into the coffin!"
My father and I didn't dare to neglect. We knelt down beside the coffin with our heads on the ground and didn't dare to raise our heads.
After kneeling on the ground for about half an hour, Qing Xuanzi said: "Chen Baxian, get up and see if there are two bones missing!"
After hearing this, I stood up and looked inside the coffin. Stacks of bones formed a human shape. The strange thing was that there was something wrong with the human shape's legs, as if something was missing. The overall look was not perfect.
"It seems like something is missing!" I said after staring at the coffin for a while.
"Xiao Dao just counted 204 bones in total, and there are two missing, which should be ankle bones." Qing Xuanzi glanced at me and continued: "There was nothing wrong with your grandfather's legs and feet before he died, right?"
"No, my father was in good health during his lifetime, and it doesn't matter if he has any problems with his legs and feet!" his father interjected from the side.
This is to tell him that he must find those two bones. After all, moving the grave may be related to his mother's health. You must know that his mother cannot get out of bed. At first, there was a problem with the ankle. Now it happens to be the ankle bone that is missing. In between
It must be related.
I frowned and looked at Qing Xuanzi, and found that he was also looking at me in disbelief. He said, "Chen Baxian, have you smelled this smell before?"
"It's okay, the dragon body has been taken out. This tomb is an empty tomb, so it won't do much good. What's more, it's a dragon-seeking body, so the problem is even less serious. Listen to Chen Baxian and open the coffin lid!" Qingxuanzi left.
Come here and stand between me and Lao Wang.
"When we were in the tomb, we must have been too nervous and ignored part of the fishy smell. This black mist should be caused by too much Yin Qi." Qing Xuanzi explained with a frown.
The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional. As soon as I heard him say that there was something wrong with his legs and feet, I immediately thought of my mother. Without saying anything, I asked Lao Wang to cover the coffin with a black cloth and walked to the side of the tomb.
Seven or eight Eight Immortals came over in a hurry, and each of them knocked down the coffin with a hoe. In less than a minute, the lid of the coffin was smashed to pieces, and a fishy smell immediately came from inside.
"Great!" Lao Wang responded and shouted to the Eight Immortals, "Brothers, get on here and knock on the coffin!"
When I heard this, I thought it was quite reasonable, so I found some long bamboo sticks and asked the more courageous Eight Immortals to rummage inside the coffin for a while. To my disappointment, I found nothing hard at all.
What a ghost in broad daylight. The coffin has not rotted. It is absolutely impossible for those two bones to rot, but where are they?
Finally, I gritted my teeth and said to the Eight Immortals, "Stop digging, I'll go down and look for it."
A group of Eight Immortals began to persuade me, generally speaking, they all told me not to go to the tomb.
"Those two bones are related to my mother's illness. I can't just let it go!" I ignored their advice, tiredly pulled up my trouser legs, and prepared to go down.
Seeing this scene, I felt a little numb in my heart. When I thought about reaching out and touching it, my limbs became a little weak. I asked Qingxuanzi with a trembling voice, "Taoist Master, what is this?"
"No, you absolutely must not. The yin energy in the coffin is too strong, and you are a filial son and grandson. Once you go in, your body will definitely have problems in the future." Qing Xuanzi stretched out his hand to stop me.
"There should really be two ankle bones missing. The only plan for now is to open the coffin and search for it. If we can't find it, I'm afraid future generations will have problems with their legs and feet." Qing Xuanzi murmured.
"Isn't it a bad luck to knock on the coffin? I'm afraid it's not good to do this?" Lao Wang hesitated for a while and asked me.
After saying that, he took out a talisman from the bag of gossip, lit it, muttered a few mantras in his mouth, shook his hand, and threw the talisman into the coffin. The strange thing was that the talisman went out as soon as it entered the coffin. It was really strange.
"Jiuyaozi, what Qingxuanzi said makes sense. If you continue like this, you will definitely lose the cause of your illness." The old scholar advised from the side.
"Old Wang, bring some hoes and knock off the coffin lid!" I said to Old Wang.
When I saw that the talisman was ineffective, I was worried that Qing Xuanzi would just give up, so I asked him with a sullen face, "What should we do now? If we don't find those two bones, it's impossible to move grandpa's grave to a new one!"
Qing Xuanzi glanced at me and said: "Previously we covered the tomb with black cloth. The aura of the tomb did not change, so we were safe when we entered. Now the aura of the tomb has been destroyed, and the Yin Qi inside has no trace of life.
If you take one breath, you will get sick, and it is impossible to go down to the tomb. The only way is to find some long bamboo sticks to rummage through."
I shook my head. This was what was strange to me. There was no fishy smell under the tomb before, only a strong smell of soil. Where did this fishy smell come from?
I took a step forward and took a closer look. I saw that the inside of the coffin was completely black, with black mist and steam rising above it. Below, I could vaguely see some shrouds that were not completely rotten, and some maggots were wriggling wantonly on them.
, looked particularly disgusting, some of the Eight Immortals felt nauseated, turned around and started vomiting.
At this time, my father came over, put a hand on my shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "Jiu Yazi, let me go. Your mother has lived with me for most of her life, and she has only had a few good days. As a husband, I should
Go down and find the cause of her illness. Moreover, this grave is your grandfather's tomb. As the son of man, I should also go down. I have more reasons to go down than you. What's more, I am getting older. Even if there is something wrong with my body, I still have to go down.
You take care of me, if something happens to your body, half of our family will collapse."
"Father, you are getting old. If you take a breath of Yin Qi, you may not be able to bear it. I am young and strong, and my resistance is stronger than yours. Don't argue with me. You can accompany your mother when you grow old." I grabbed the man.
The father, who was about to jump off, waved to Lao Wang and said, "Lao Wang, watch over father for me."
Lao Wang was stunned for a while, then walked over without saying a word, looked at my father and me, and said, "Jiuyaozi, you two, stop fighting, let me go!"
"No, this is my family matter." My father and I said at the same time. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that going down into the grave will definitely lead to bad results. In this regard, my temperament is similar to that of my father.
Others take risks for you.
