The entire Tan family's family set off in a mighty manner, carrying the big box containing the funerary objects, and walked towards the location where the place was chosen.
After about half an hour's journey, Tan Baiwan, who was taking the lead, stopped, walked to Xu Ce, and said respectfully:
"Director Xu, this is it. Please take a look at the appropriate location. This land belongs to my Tan family."
Xu Ce scanned the area and saw that it was quite a big piece of land. It was worthy of being a wealthy family in Taishan Town, and it had a rich background.
Ten thousand acres of fertile land is not much, so that’s what it means.
Except for a mini mahogany sword stored in the system storage space, Xu Ce has no other magical weapons at all. Finding the right location of the tomb is easy to make mistakes simply by looking at it with the naked eye.
So Xu Ce walked up to Mao Shanming. Since this guy didn't treat him as an outsider, Xu Ce was too lazy to be polite to him and said lightly:
"Lend me your compass."
Mao Shanming was a little curious before, because Xu Ce was light and didn't bring anything with him, so he felt curious.
When he heard Xu Ce's words, he suddenly realized that there was no such thing at all.
Mao Shanming was a little speechless. He, a fake Taoist priest, was fully equipped. But you, a true Taoist priest with profound Taoist techniques, had nothing. This...
"Fellow Daoist Xu is free to do so."
Mao Shanming handed the compass out.
Xu Ce took it, held it in his hand and looked at it. It was good and there was nothing wrong with it. Then he started to search according to the knowledge about finding tombs recorded in the books Uncle Jiu showed him.
"Locate the longitude and latitude, avoid the sun and accept the shade, gather Qi..."
Xu Ce murmured.
After a while, Xu Ce stepped on the dirt on the ground, waved to Tan Wanwan, and said:
"Executive member Tan, he's right here."
"Okay, thank you, Master Xu. I'm very grateful."
Tan Wanwan burst into tears of gratitude.
"Don't thank me, hurry up and dig. Later, I will perform a ritual ceremony for the Zhou family so that they can settle down here."
Xu Ce waved his hand and walked aside to rest.
It was noon when a grave was dug, but the grave goods were not buried immediately. Time was also important. Xu Ce set the time after four o'clock in the afternoon.
After eating the lunch prepared in advance, it was the auspicious time for burial.
"Except Mr. Tan, please have someone put down all the burial objects."
After Xu Ce finished speaking, he thought of something else and frowned:
"Exceptor Tan, please make sure that all the funerary objects are inside. If there are any missing items and trouble occurs again, it will be a big disaster. You have no one to blame."
Tan Yuanwai quickly replied:
"Don't worry, Daochang Xu. There will definitely be no omissions. Hey, it's too terrible. Even if it was given to me, I wouldn't dare to take it."
"Well, that's best. Okay, let's start sealing the soil."
"Fengtu..."
Four strong servants filled the tomb level and piled up a small bag in no time.
Soon, when it was time to do something, Xu Ce looked at Mao Shanming, thought for a while, and said:
"Taoist Master Mao, how about you do this ritual?"
Tan Wanwan said in confusion:
"Daozhang Xu, why is this?"
Mao Shanming was also confused, but he still stood up and said:
"What do you mean, Fellow Daoist Xu?"
Xu Ce explained:
"I just remembered that there is a slight misunderstanding between Daoist Fellow Mao and the ghosts of the Zhou family. If Fellow Daoist Mao helps them here and helps them settle down, it will be regarded as a kind of karmic virtue. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Mao is willing?"
Mao Shanming thought about it carefully, and it seems that this is really the case. Only by doing good deeds can you accumulate negative virtues and change your own karma for the better.
Mao Shanming bowed slightly to Xu Ce and said:
"Thank you for your kindness. Let Pindao do this ritual."
Tan Baiwan understood the reason, but still added,
"Taoist Master Mao, you can do it, but I won't pay you anymore. If you agree, then do it.
If you don’t agree, it’s up to Taoist Xu to do it.”
In contrast, Tan Wanwan naturally trusted Xu Ce more. Although Xu Ce was young, he showed a master's demeanor. Unlike Mao Shanming, he was not a serious Taoist priest at first glance.
"Don't worry, Mr. Tan. I won't charge a penny for this ritual."
"But what you said, everyone has heard it. If you ask for money in the middle, I won't pay it."
"Don't worry, Mr. Tan, it's absolutely impossible."
"Okay, let's let Taoist Master Mao do it."
Xu Ce was enjoying his leisure time. It wasn't that he didn't want to take the initiative to perform rituals. The main reason was that he had never experienced it before. He had only done it once or twice after watching Uncle Jiu. In addition, Mao Shanming's deceitful ritual last night was totally useless.
More than three times.
Once the duck is put on the shelf, it will be very embarrassing and inconsistent with his superior demeanor.
So, let’s read more and learn more.
"Today, I, Mao Shanming, on behalf of millions of family members, send the ghosts of the Zhou family to be buried in the land deeded to the Zhou family. From now on, Taishan Town will be stabilized!"
The Maoshan bright peach wood sword picked up the yellow talisman paper and poked the glutinous rice grains. His mouth was sonorous and powerful, and he danced around with the sword.
One moment, it circled the cemetery, and the next moment, it sprinkled money paper and some water. It looked very complicated.
Xu Ce looked at it very seriously. He didn't know whether Mao Shanming's tricks were tricks or whether they really needed to be done. Anyway, he watched and learned first, and it would be okay to use them to fool people in the future.
At least Mao Shanming's series of actions look very formal.
This ritual lasted for more than half an hour, and finally came to an end after Mao Shan shouted, "The ritual is completed!"
"Hoo! Fellow Daoist Xu and Member Tan have lived up to their trust! The law is accomplished!"
Mao Shan was obviously a little tired, but he exercised quite a lot during this ritual. He jumped back and forth for such a long time, and he didn't take a break except for stopping for a few drinks of water in the middle.
And Tan Wanwan could also see that Mao Shanming was really serious about his work, which made him curious. Shouldn't an old man be synonymous with cheating and cheating? It was completely unexpected.
But when I thought about the several conversations between Mao Shanming and Xu Ce, I felt relieved again. It was on demand and I was awakened.
In my heart, I admire Xu Ce even more.
"Fellow Daoist Mao, hard work, hard work, it's getting late, let's take a rest and then go back to the town."
Xu Ce glanced at the sky. The sun had already set in the west. Although it was still illuminating the earth, it would probably be dark before long.
You know, this place is more than half an hour away from the town.
"By the way, I wonder who Master Xu studied under?"
At this time, Tan Baiwan suddenly asked.
Xu Ce did not hide anything and replied with a smile:
"My master is Uncle Jiu, a descendant of Maoshan from Renjia Town, the town next door."
"Uncle Nine! Are you really Uncle Nine's disciple?"
Tan Baiwan asked in surprise.
Xu Ce was surprised. Why was Tan Wanwan so surprised?
