Chapter 222 Strange things brought about by moving the grave
There are less than twenty people in Nantajing Village. The youngest is forty-seven or eighty-year-old and is still semi-disabled. They are all older and lonely people. Moreover, they are all men. There is not a single woman, not even an old woman.
.
After the village chief of Nantajing agreed to seal the coffin, he immediately vacated a large yard. Anyway, there were a lot of vacant houses in the village. Putting some things there would be convenient for people and get some money, so why not?
Feng Qing found someone to bring out all the coffins of his ancestors, burned paper to worship, and discussed with the ancestors below to stay here for a few months until the tomb at the other end was repaired, and then return the coffins to Zhao immediately.
However, after the thirteen coffins of the ancestors of the Feng family were carried into the south tower well, they seemed reluctant to go back to their old place. The tomb, which had been repaired for a month, collapsed overnight for unknown reasons.
Feng Qing realized something. Since the ancestors were unwilling to go back, they had to change places. So Feng Qing chose another place on Yanshan Mountain. The cemetery was close to the ancestors of the Feng family of another generation. Calculated by seniority,
The group who came out are considered their elders, so there shouldn't be any problems if they are close to their descendants, and it's a nice place.
Third Grandpa told Feng Yu that he had seen the coffin at the back in the Feng Family Ancestral Hall when he was a child. At that time, the big-headed coffin was also locked in the backyard of the Feng Family Ancestral Hall.
When Feng Yu heard this, he thought that Grandpa San was confused. How could the coffin he had seen when he was a child appear here for no reason?
But the third grandpa was very sure and convincing. He said this while making gestures, and the old man looked very excited.
When Grandpa San was a child, he saw this old coffin in the thatched house in the backyard when he went to the Feng family ancestral hall. No one in the Feng family could tell clearly who left the coffin there, and no one alive now has it.
My impression is that on weekdays, few people go to the backyard.
But Feng Yu thought about it carefully and realized that he had encountered ghosts in the house in the backyard of the ancestral hall when he was a child. It seemed that this was the house that the third grandpa was talking about.
Feng Yu didn't know whether to believe what the Third Grandpa said or not. He felt a little scared and felt more and more that things here might not be that simple.
What happened next, as the Nantajing villager said, was from thirteen coffins to fourteen coffins.
After choosing the new tomb, it took about a few months to build it. I thought that it was my ancestor after all, so I couldn't be too perfunctory, so it took more than two months to build it. In addition, the place was remote and wars continued in the era.
, it would be nice to have a few tomb repair craftsmen.
No wonder Feng Yu always saw his father going to the mountains behind during the Chinese New Year this year. His feelings were that he was repairing the tombs of his ancestors.
By the time the tombs were repaired, it was already April or May of this year. The craftsmen who had repaired the tombs had to go back to their hometown for the Chinese New Year, which delayed them for two months. After the new tombs were repaired, incense was burned to worship the ancestors, and Fengqing began to deliver them one by one.
Go down.
I remember that when they were first dug out last year, the number of these coffins was clearly counted. They were thirteen, and the newly built tombs built by Feng Qing were also made in the style of placing thirteen.
There is a main coffin placed horizontally from west to east, and six coffins are placed in two rows below.
No one noticed it at first. After six coffins came down first, Feng Qing discovered the problem. When he went back and counted the remaining coffins, there were eight more. Feng Qing thought it was
I was dazzled, so I immediately went back to the tomb and counted six, which was indeed a good number.
Feng Qing's mind immediately buzzed. This was no small matter. If he really made a mistake and gave a few people a coffin, could his ancestors forgive him?
Feng Qing and Feng Er added up the numbers again and again. There was no way they could get the number of coffins wrong. Thirteen was thirteen. How could there be one more after March or May? Could there still be a coffin?
After checking again and again, the two brothers discovered that the extra coffin was the large-headed coffin locked in the backyard.
After roughly knowing the ins and outs of the matter, Feng Yu really couldn't communicate with the old man anymore. The third grandpa was old and he basically only asked ten questions and answered one sentence, but he didn't fit in with the question.
Feng Yu was really panicking. Weird things in the world were really coming to him one after another. Before he could figure out what was going on in the sealed cave under the Xing'an Mountains, a coffin appeared in the clear sky.
There was nothing to do at night, so Feng Yu wanted to go back and take a look, but there were two people in their fifties from the village guarding the door. They said nothing to let Feng Yu in, saying that someone was doing something inside, and someone broke in.
It won't be effective.
Feng Yu simply went back to sleep. It was very quiet in the mountains at night, and he could wake up to dawn in one sleep.
Early the next morning, Feng Qing called Feng Yu, and a big pot of porridge was cooked in the yard next door. People from the village came over to eat in twos and threes, as if they were holding a white funeral.
Feng Yu didn't eat a bite. After dinner, Feng Qing asked Feng Yu to go to the mountain to see the newly built cemetery.
Dad is not a man of ink. If he has something to say to you, he will definitely tell you. If he doesn't tell you, then you can use whatever you say. Just like Feng Qing is taking Feng Yu with him now.
Look at that cemetery.
Most of the cemeteries of the Feng family are buried on Yanshan Mountain. They have a history of seven to eight hundred years, and there are more than a thousand Feng family members buried there.
The feudal family was also very particular about choosing the land. They did not choose to build it in one area, but divided it into parts. No one can explain why.
The place Fengqing chose is on the sunny side of the mountain, on a rock about 200 meters high. It is not spectacular. Except for a few higher tombs, the rest have basically been smoothed over the years.
, the remaining two tombs are scattered here and there, but the Feng family is a large family, so even so, it is not difficult to see the layout of the ghost house here.
There is a dirt road on the mountain, which Dad and his friends must have just walked out recently. There are overgrown weeds on the side, and a bare road is exposed in the middle.
In front of the mountain rock is a seasonal stream, which only flows in late summer and early autumn. This is a so-called geomantic treasure. The feudal family members who were buried here must have been buried here for the concept of water in front and mountains behind.
Feng Qing and Feng Yu said that the day for moving the coffin should be chosen within the next two days. Last night they looked at the almanac, chose the day, and burned paper to tell the ancestors. No matter where the coffin came from, Feng Qing
He should have buried it in peace.
Not to mention anything else, just the story of the third grandpa is weird enough. If the third grandpa can tell it to Feng Yu, he must have told it to everyone present. Feng Qing would rather believe it or not, regardless of whether it is true or not.
Was the coffin locked in the Feng Family Ancestral Hall? Now as long as it is buried safely and the past is wiped out, who will be there again?
To find out why there is a big-headed coffin locked in the backyard of the ancestral hall, it doesn't matter whether the third grandpa's words are true or false.
Feng Yu was previously curious about what the tombs of those ancestors who stole and dug their tombs would look like. But after looking at them, he couldn't help but be a little disappointed. They were no different from ordinary people's tombs. The underground was built with cement.
Because there were many coffins in the tomb passage, the ground was dug a bit larger, and the walls were simply built with mud bricks. The earth sealing behind the tomb was all integrated with the mountain.
Dad told Feng Yu that this tomb of the Feng family can be regarded as an old place. It was built once before during the Qing Dynasty. The tomb passage and tomb chamber above were dug out by him later. The people buried in the old tomb at the bottom are also those of the Feng family.
Ancestor, but the old tomb must be at least ten meters underground. Neither my father nor my second uncle have seen what it looks like down there, but there will definitely not be an underground palace.
Feng Yu found it very funny and thought to himself, was his father afraid that he would go down in the middle of the night and steal something?
There is not much to see in the tomb. The craftsmen have roughly built it with mud bricks. Due to the time limit, there are no calligraphy or paintings on the tomb wall. It is just a simple tomb chamber that cannot be simpler. It is well-organized inside.
There were thirteen coffins parked, and the main coffin, which looked bigger, was placed at the front. There seemed to be no extra space in the tomb to put another coffin.
Feng Qing naturally knew that this place was originally built according to the size of the tomb chamber according to the number of thirteen coffins. Feng Qing checked the genealogy and found that the big-headed coffin was indeed an unknown coffin, so Feng Qing could only dig it out again in front of the tomb.
A new place.
Feng Yu didn't have any objections. He felt that there was nothing wrong with his father's arrangement. The agreed date was to be buried the next day. Feng Yu nodded and went back with his father.
It is said that it is easy to invite gods but difficult to send them. It is also difficult to send the coffins of our ancestors. I made a lot of preparations in the evening. The next day, Feng Yu burned incense in person, smashed the earthen jars in front, and led the way with the soul-guiding flags.
cemetery.
The Feng family burials were very complicated and complicated. After arriving at the place, Feng Yu knelt on the ground and waited for several hours before the coffin was carried down.
Feng Yu's legs were trembling and he knelt for too long. He really didn't know how the thirteen coffins were delivered one by one.
Everyone above him breathed a sigh of relief, including the man who did the work. He was also very tired. He gathered together to smoke a cigarette. Before he could drink the water, he saw the people below running out in a panic.
I need to find the uncle and the second uncle.
Feng Qing and Feng Er squatted at the entrance of the tomb. The people below hurriedly said that they should go down and take a look first. Feng Qing frowned, as if he had expected this, and he knew that this matter would not end so easily.
It was not convenient for Feng Er, so he asked Feng Yu to go down instead of him, while he stayed above to stabilize people's hearts.
When I went down to take a look, I found that the large-headed coffin was larger than ordinary coffins. When I entered the newly built tomb, it was blocked by a brick. I had no choice but to dig it out.
He asked someone to dig it out immediately.
Feng Yu and his father were watching from the tomb passage. The seven or eight people carrying the coffin all went up to help, but they didn't expect that after the brick was cut open, something even more unexpected happened out of thin air.
The man who was cutting the wall slipped and stepped on a section of the tomb passage, revealing another old coffin underneath.
