The earth has spirits, and the Hu family member who forcibly intercepted the phoenix marrow never thought that it would end up like this. Instead of retaining the true phoenix spirit, he left a lot of trouble.
"Master Fang, what should we do now?"
The Hu family looked at Fang Ming with pleading eyes. Although they felt extremely remorseful in their hearts, they also knew that this was not the time to regret. What was more important was how to solve the current troubles.
From Fang Ming's words, they also knew that if they did not solve the problem, when the luck came in thirty years, the entire Hu family would completely decline. Although it would not mean that the family would be destroyed, the Hu family would at least be in decline, and within a hundred years
There is no day of revival within.
"Open the coffin and bury it in another place."
Fang Ming said the solution, which is the only way to crack it.
"Move the grave."
The Hu family didn't have much objection. Anyway, the Hu family still had some influence in the village. It would not be difficult to find a new piece of land to move a grave, and no one would stop it.
Although the country promotes cremation, most of them are in cities, and to be honest, land in cities is so expensive that ordinary families cannot afford land to bury their dead relatives even if they do not cremate.
As for rural areas, for a period of time due to policies, they were very strict. However, as the policies have been relaxed in recent years, many people have turned a blind eye, and even village cadres have pretended not to know.
The reason is very simple. Most of the people in the village are related to each other. It is not a good mood to bury someone after their death. If the village cadre stands up at this time, he will be pointed at the nose and scolded by the villagers.
Sometimes even if someone from the funeral home comes and learns the news, they are not afraid. A village united can fight for you. If you don't stand up to help your fellow villagers today, who will help you tomorrow if someone in your family dies?
It is precisely because of this that, faced with such a thankless job, the people in the relevant departments have given up on it over time.
"Master Fang, if that's the case, please work harder and pick a new piece of land."
Hu Fu spoke, but Fang Ming looked at him with a smile, "I said that the cost of solving the problem is separate. Now that I have helped you find the problem, the previous money is the consulting fee."
Hu Fu and the Hu family exchanged glances, and finally Hu Erbo spoke, "Master Fang, tell me the number."
"Two hundred thousand."
Although the Hu family was slightly surprised when they heard the price announced by Fang Ming, they thought that Hu Fu had paid tens of thousands of yuan for consultation, and this price was within their acceptable range.
"Don't nod your head in a hurry. I haven't finished speaking yet. In addition, when the grave is dug, I want something down here. But I can tell you clearly that this thing is of no use to you ordinary people. It is of no use to me.
It does have some uses."
Normally, Fang Ming would not only ask for 200,000, but this time it was different. There was something he wanted, so the price was cut in half.
"Since Master Fang said so, then just do as Master Fang said. If there is anything you need below, Master Fang, just take it."
In the end, it was Uncle Hu who agreed, and the old man was not stupid. Anyway, they watched the entire process of moving the tomb. If it was really something valuable, then of course it would have to be counted separately.
After the negotiation is completed, the next step is to choose a new cemetery.
"Master Fang, it's already evening. Let's go rest first and then choose a cemetery tomorrow?"
Hu Fu suggested that climbing a mountain for an afternoon would be tiring and hungry for people in the Hu family who have long since stopped doing physical work. Especially Uncle Hu. If he was asked to climb one or two more mountains, even if it was hilly, he would probably not be able to do it.
Can't live.
"Well, I'll go pick out the cemetery tomorrow, but I can pick up the bones tonight."
Fang Ming looked at the time. It was about an hour before five o'clock in the afternoon. The sun would be longer in the summer, but it would almost completely set by seven o'clock.
"Dig now?"
The Hu family was a little surprised. They didn't expect Fang Ming to be in such a hurry. In fact, Fang Ming had no choice. He only had four days and had to return to the Magic City on the weekend. The most important thing was to move the bones in the tomb.
He had already thought about it.
There is another very important reason, that is, these two bones, especially the bones of the Fifth Master, must be collected first and placed in the ancestral hall.
"Tonight, we will dig up the grave and send the bones to your Hu family ancestral hall. Then we will find a new cemetery tomorrow."
Although the Hu family was surprised by Fang Ming's speed, at this time they could only do whatever Fang Ming said.
"Listen, I need something. Can any of you take a cell phone or a piece of paper and take a note? Then go down the mountain to look for it now and bring it back up in two or three hours."
"I'll take the memo on my cell phone and remember it, Master Fang." A young man from the Hu family took out his cell phone. Not many people carry pens with them these days.
"A rooster between three and seven years old, three pairs of red gloves, a roll of red cloth, two wooden boards, a white radish, the bigger the better, incense candles, paper money and other things..."
Fang Ming talked a lot eloquently. Fortunately, these things are very common, especially roosters. If you live in the city, it will take a lot of trouble, but in the countryside, there will always be someone in the village, as long as you are willing to spend more money.
There will still be people selling it.
"Okay, I'll go buy it right now."
The two members of the Hu family quickly went down the mountain under the leadership of an elder. These three people were responsible for buying what Fang Ming needed, and Fang Ming was also not idle here.
Because they were visiting the cemetery, someone had already brought incense, candles and paper money, but they didn't bring much. Fang Ming took out eighteen incense sticks, lit them and looked at the Hu family.
"Uncle Hu, Boss Hu, and four of the descendants of the Hu family."
There are currently three generations of the Hu family here. Uncle Hu and Uncle Hu are one generation, Hu Fu and the others are one generation, and those young people are the next generation.
Soon Hu Fu and six others stood up and took the Zen incense from Fang Ming's hands.
"As soon as you hear me saying prayers, you will pray."
After Fang Ming finished explaining, he looked at the tombstone, his expression became serious, and he held the Hu family's family tree in his hand and began to sing a cappella.
"The Great Emperor of Mount Tai in the East, the Great Emperor of Mount Heng in the South, the Great Emperor of Huashan in the West, the Great Emperor of Mount Heng in the North, the Great Emperor of Mount Song in the Middle Mountain..."
When the first word "东" came out of Fang Ming's mouth, everyone present was shocked, because the voice was completely different from Fang Ming's original speaking voice, especially the accent, cadence, and priorities.
If you have heard Taoist priests reciting sutras, you will know that although you don’t understand the sutras recited by Taoist priests, the long and final sounds are very comfortable, and Fang Ming’s a cappella singing at this moment also brings this to the people present.
a feeling.
"The emperors of the five directions sat in front and heard that there is a Hu family in Sanshan Town, Zhenjiang, Jiangsu Province, a virtuous and kind-hearted people~. This Hu family moved to Sanshan in the third year of Guangxu's reign, and has since taken root. There is a genealogy that can... be checked."
"Now the descendants of the Hu family worship the great emperor, and they all worship the great emperor of Mount Tai."
Fang Ming bowed towards the east, and Hu Fu and the others quickly followed suit.
"Second worship to Emperor Hengshan of Nanyue."
…
"After the Five Emperors have paid their respects, it will be the turn of the land in all directions. The Lord of the Land... will come to the grave and sit here to drive away evil spirits and avoid monsters."
The Five Emperors do not really refer to the five mountains, but generally refer to all the mountain gods in the world.
After worshiping the mountain god and the earth god, Fang Ming looked at the Hu family's family tree and continued to sing: "The owner of this tomb is Hu Wenjin, the fifth eldest son. He currently has his nephew Hu Jiangmin, grandnephew Hu Fu, and great-nephew Hu Mingli.
Hu Mingjian, Hu Minghao, Hu Minglong..."
"My descendants will pay their respects today. Don't blame our ancestors for moving their graves and breaking ground."
(Read this passage in your local dialect. Pause at the last word of every four to five words, and you will have an unexpected feeling.)
bye!
This time, needless to say, Fang Ming said that after he finished reciting, Hu Fu and the others bowed respectfully towards the tombstone three times.
After praying, place incense.
"The six of you will take down the tombstone first, and then start digging. The others will take some paper money and scatter it nearby."
After hearing Fang Ming's instructions, Hu Fu and others picked up hoes and shovels. Uncle Hu Wu was older, and the rest of the Hu family saw that they wanted to step forward to help, but were stopped by Fang Ming.
"Others can't help. Only these six people can dig graves. Your fifth uncle represents his generation and no one else can replace him. But we can dig less and give more to young people."
Fang Ming explained that there were only two people in that generation, Hu Erbo and Hu Wushu. If Hu Wushu didn't dig it, would it be possible for the eighty-year-old Hu Erbo to do it?
Due to the age of the tomb, the tomb was not fixed with cement as it is today when it was buried. In addition, the soil on the side of the tombstone was very soft due to the passage of time, so the tombstone was quickly removed.
The tombstone was removed and carried aside, but it did not fall flat on the ground but remained upright. At the same time, Fang Ming picked up a pair of incense candles and lit them in front of the tombstone.
"Remember, when digging, dig from the front, never dig from the back, unless one of you wants to die, don't call me until you see the coffin."
After explaining the precautions, Fang Ming waved to Hua Mingming again.
"what?"
Hua Mingming was watching the excitement, and when he saw Fang Ming waving, he walked over from the grave reluctantly and asked.
"Do you want to show off? I'll give you a chance to show off in front of others."
"With such a good thing, don't you want to trick me again?" Hua Mingming looked at Fang Ming with suspicion. That means, why don't you give it to me if you have the chance to show off?
"That's because I can't do this. There are so many people here and only you can do it."
"Really or not, am I that powerful?"
"You have wonderful bones and an excellent destiny. Most people cannot compare with you."
"It turns out I'm so powerful. Well, if there's anything you need me to do, I'll do it."
Hua Mingming was overjoyed when he heard Fang Ming's praise. His previous defensiveness instantly disappeared. He patted his chest and asked with a proud look on his face.
ps; There will be an outburst today, for no reason, just because I want to, so willfully!
