Chapter fifty-eight of the corpse and the soul
The tomb of Grandpa Seventh Uncle is an oversized stone tomb, with a two-meter-high white marble tablet inscribed with some of his so-called great achievements during his lifetime. Zhang Guozhong glanced at it, but it was all flattery about honoring his ancestors.
Ah Guang was dressed in black and handed over three sticks of incense respectfully. At this time, the drumming and chanting teams who had arrived earlier had been waiting for a long time. Someone brought the incense burner. Uncle Qi whispered for a long time while holding the incense.
The incense was inserted into the incense burner, and then Brick left. At this time, Aguang waved his hand, the drums and music began to sing, and the monk began to sing.
Zhang Guozhong was also dumbfounded. He didn't know what the seventh uncle was thinking. After all, he came here to dig a grave and not to celebrate a death anniversary. What was he doing to mobilize the troops? "Seventh uncle, we will help your ancestors redeem themselves later. So,
With many people watching, the yang energy is too strong, which is not conducive to summoning spirits..."
"Oh..." Uncle Qi also suddenly understood, and said a few words in Aguang's ear. Aguang nodded and left. After a while, the drum band and chanting team were invited away, leaving only a dozen workers. What to say?
Being rich is different, even digging graves
, all modern equipment was used. Originally, Zhang Guozhong thought that such a huge stone cairn could not be excavated in a day. However, he did not expect that with the clanging machine work, it was dug in less than two hours.
The coffin is gone.
It has been nearly a hundred years since workers lifted the coffin out of the grave, but due to the excellent feng shui and the exquisite materials used, the coffin is basically still intact. Using a crowbar to open the coffin, a body that has not completely decomposed is revealed.
In front of everyone, beyond everyone's expectation
Yes, although this corpse was severely decomposed, it did not smell bad. In fact, there was no smell at all, just a pungent smell. Judging from the clothes of the deceased, it was probably the late Qing Dynasty when he was buried. Although the corpse had short hair,
What he wore was traditional Qing Dynasty clothing.
After looking at the bones, Zhang Guozhong and Lao Liutou immediately focused their attention on the facial expressions of the bones. They saw that the head, which still had some flesh remaining, was tilted to the side, the mouth was opened exaggeratedly, and the expression on the face was painful and twisted.
"That's right, it's the prisoner's surrender." Zhang Guozhong carefully observed the face of the corpse and further confirmed that after a person dies, there will be a dedicated person to put the deceased into a shroud (known among the people as "dressing up").
") and arrange the remains, especially for a wealthy family like Grandpa Qi, it is absolutely impossible for the deceased to be buried with this expression and his head turned to one side.
"It's too cruel... It seems that the rumors are true..." People who don't understand don't feel it at all, but experts like Lao Liutou really feel the horror of this evil attack, "After he died... it was
Sentient…”
"What do you mean by your words?" A Guang was also full of curiosity at this moment. People still have consciousness after death. Isn't this inconsistent?
"After the human soul leaves the body, there is no concept of time..." Zhang Guozhong explained, "And the soul leaves the body after death, no matter what kind of damage the body suffers, it has nothing to do with the soul. But if the soul does not leave the body,
There is a sense of time! It has been almost a hundred years since Uncle Qi’s ancestors were buried. In other words, it is equivalent to putting a living person in a coffin and letting him live in this environment for a hundred years!"
Zhang Guozhong straightened up and felt a chill on his neck. "Not only that, he will also have to endure the pain of his body slowly decaying over the past hundred years...!"
"Are you saying that his soul can feel the damage to the body like ours?" A Guang was doubtful, "Is this the case now?"
At this moment, Old Liu squatted down and took a closer look, "This is the end we turned sideways when we opened the coffin..."
"What did you say?" A Guang couldn't believe his ears. He immediately leaned over and observed carefully. If it was a recently deceased body, it was still possible to fake it. But at this moment, there were already a pair of withered bones in the coffin. How could he move it by himself?
It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, this look also gave Aguang goosebumps all over his body. He saw that the color of the back of the skull was different from the side of the face. It was obviously just turned over. I don't know if it was caused by the shock when the coffin was opened.
It's just like what Old Liu Tou said.
"Ah Guang, please step aside..." Old Liu Tou began to take out the things one by one from his cloth pocket, "When the soul of your great master is found, Guozhong will inform you."
At this point, Zhang Guozhong took out a chisel from his bag and started to drill holes in the coffin wall. Although the coffin was made of good material, it had been buried for nearly a hundred years. It didn't take much effort to dig out the coffin. It only took about ten minutes for nine wines to be drilled.
The hole as thick as the mouth of the bottle is drilled.
Old Liu Tou used incense to place a circle around the coffin, leaving a gap intentionally. Then he sprinkled a thin layer of powdered stone on the bones, then placed a circle of willow branches around the coffin, and finally
Zhang Guozhong took a few steps back, and saw Old Liu Tou inserting an incense stick into the gap in the circle of incense. At this time, he saw a gust of wind blowing out from the coffin, and the smoke flew out in all directions at the same time, and then returned to the original state.
It's normal.
This is the formation used in Maoshan Shu to deal with the transformation of corpses. It is called "Jing sleep formation". The so-called "Jing sleep" does not mean letting people sleep, but it means "let the deceased rest in peace". Maoshan Shu believes that the deceased will pretend to be dead.
, because the three souls and seven souls in the body have not been completely removed. Using this formation, the remaining souls in the body can be completely flushed out of the body. The nine souls engraved by Zhang Guozhong
This cave is called "Yin Cao". Legend has it that corpse fraud is mostly caused by the deceased being unwilling to die and holding grudges. This "Yin Cao" is specially used to release the resentment of the dead souls. The surrender is a one-time operation.
The surrender technique does no harm to anyone other than the one who is surrendered, and it is very easy to break after being surrendered, so the "Jingsui Formation" is enough.
Old Liu Tou took out his compass and looked at it, "It's done, Guozhong, go and call Uncle Qi, I'll come and recruit..." After that, Old Liu Tou took out a small peach wood sword from his bag (if it's not an evil spirit, use it)
The dragon scales scared him away...),
Sprinkle a thin layer of stone on the ground (this is "Yin Dao", "Maoshan Shuzhi" says: The soul is Yin, Yin can also be Yin, which means that ghosts belong to Yin, and they can also be Yin).
Qi "forces" him.)
After a while, Uncle Qi came over step by step with the support of A Guang and a walking stick. He saw Old Liu Tou sitting on the ground crying, with a lot of snot and tears, beating his chest and throwing himself on the ground. He was very miserable.
When Uncle Qi saw this, he was also doubtful. He waved his hand to signal A Guang to step back. He walked up to Old Liu Tou and asked a question in Cantonese. Unexpectedly, Old Liu Tou answered in Cantonese, and his voice was also Cantonese.
Things have changed. After saying a few words, the two of them came together and burst into tears. At this point, Zhang Guozhong felt relieved. If the coffin was dug up and the soul was not found, then he really didn't know how he would deal with his seventh uncle.
"Uncle Qi... hurry up and get down to business, this won't last long..." Zhang Guozhong counted the time, there was about a minute left.
Uncle Qi suddenly realized this, and knelt down in front of Old Liu, kowtowed tremblingly, and started talking again. When Old Liu heard this, he wiped his tears with his clothes and made gestures with his hands. Uncle Qi listened.
After a lot of snot and tears, I cried several more times
At this time, Old Liu suddenly rolled his eyes, immediately became sullen, and started chattering again. Uncle Qi nodded repeatedly, but Zhang Guozhong almost laughed when he heard these words. Although these last few words were also
Cantonese, but the voice has changed back to Lao Liutou.
After another two minutes, Old Liu Tou rolled his eyes and lay down on the ground. Uncle Qi quickly ordered someone to help Old Liu Tou up, while A Guang disappeared in a flash. Zhang Guozhong was carrying Old Liu Tou to the car.
At that moment, I met several people carrying a large coffin that exceeded the standard, followed by the drum band and chanting monks.
"We are rich..." Zhang Guozhong sighed again. Even digging a grave requires such a one-stop operation that requires labor and force. The coffin in front of him probably cost tens of thousands of dollars at least. But at this moment, Zhang Guozhong still underestimated the strength of the seventh uncle. In front of him,
This new coffin only costs tens of thousands of dollars to buy some paint...
After waiting in the car for about three or four hours, the French style was finished and the tomb was sealed again. Uncle Qi was tremblingly helped into the car by A Guang. The first thing he did was to hold Zhang Guozhong's hand and "open his palm."
Teach, no no... Enren Zhang, Enren Liu, what do you want? As long as I, Liao Qi, can afford it!"
"No, no, no, we have already collected your money. This is what we promised you a long time ago..." Zhang Guozhong was also quite embarrassed. The old man in his seventies nodded and bowed to him, always feeling uncomfortable.
Returning to the ancestral home of the Liao family, following Uncle Qi's instructions, Zhang Guozhong and his men dug out a sealed copper box three feet underground in a basement. After sawing it open, they saw a thick layer of typewritten paper inside, in both Chinese and English.
, and in Japanese, Uncle Qi was so excited that he flipped through the dozens of land deeds one by one, including Tokyo, Kuala Lumpur, Manila, Kowloon, Osaka... "The entire industry of the Liao Group is nothing more than this!" Uncle Qi was excited.
road,
"My grandfather has a last wish, and I hope you two can help me fulfill it."
"Please...please tell me..." Zhang Guozhong was stunned. Could it be that that damn ghost still wants to push further?
"I hope you two can accept another 50 million from me. This is my grandfather's last wish. Please agree to it!" Although Uncle Qi looked serious at this moment, he still couldn't hide the excitement deep in his skin.
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Guozhong almost laughed. How could these words be his grandfather's last wish? Just now at the Liao family's ancestral grave, his grandfather had just told Old Liu Tou the whereabouts of the land deed, and then asked Old Liu Tou to leave.
The so-called last wish was all said by Old Liu Tou himself. Although Old Liu Tou could make do with a few words in Cantonese, his voice changed back. It was just that Uncle Qi was too deep into the state at the time and didn't hear it...
"I will call the bank immediately!" Uncle Qi said seriously, "You two must accept this money! My grandpa can rest in peace..."
Money is of course a good thing, and no one can have trouble with it. Zhang Guozhong did not expect that he would gain so much when he came to Hong Kong this time. He originally planned to earn another 1.8 million, return to Tianjin to rebuild the Tongtian Temple, and then do something
Small business or something, I didn't expect that my wealth now rivals that of Wang Zihao...
After resting for a few days, Aguang helped Zhang Guozhong and Lao Liutou convert the bank check into cash and then remit the remaining 50 million directly to Zhang Guozhong and Lao Liutou's accounts in China (a few days after the money was remitted,
Uncle Qi received calls from the bank many times, which made him very confused, because the mainland financial department wanted to know about this.
After comparing the use of the money, Uncle Qi could only make up a nonsense "entrusted investment" to settle the matter) and booked a flight to Beijing. At the airport, Uncle Qi did not hesitate to see them off in person, "You two are mine."
The benefactor of the Liao family, if you need anything in the future, please come to me, Liao Qi, as long as I, Liao Qi, can do it..."
Beijing, Dongsi...
"Excuse me, is Mr. Song here?" Zhang Guozhong and Lao Liutou finally found the so-called "No. 29 Kusi Hutong, Dongshitiao" after being rented out by hackers and extorted more than 60 yuan.
"Who is it?" The person who opened the door was a young man who looked like he had not graduated from high school. "My dad is out, what do you want to do with him?"
