Wenbin Zha said: "I am not coming to report, just felt something wrong with the car, so come to ask. It's all right now, thank you. Director Zhao please continue with your work, we go out first" and then motioned Mr. He to go out.
Mr. He got up and about to leave. Director Zhao invited them to stay for dinner. After another round of excuses, Mr. He looked at Wenbin Zha and asked for his advice. Director Zhao noticed that Mr. He respects the young man Wenbin a lot and asked Mr. He in a low voice, "uncle, I'm afraid this young man is not a usual man, right? "
Mr. He laughed: "He is a man of real ability; we have to go back to the countryside in the afternoon. " Then he left with Wenbin Zha. Director Zhao is a curious person, he picked up the bag on the table and then went out: "You two go slowly, since it is related to the bus, I'll go with you, it will be a lot more convenient. Mr. He is old in age; I think I'd better send you back. "
Wenbin Zha looked at director Zhao, nodded, meant he agreed.
Director Zhao so happy like a child, immediately took the Santana in the team, brought two of them to Wangzhuang village.
On their way back, director Zhao knew that Wenbin Zha was a Taoist priest and all along the way, he asked about metaphysics, didn't know whether Wenbin was too tired or was too lazy to answer. He simply fell asleep. Mr. He was still full of energy, he told director Zhao some of the things he saw. Which excited director Zhao a lot and director Zhao thinks he made a right decision to go with them. Also he wants to see how the Taoist is to catch the ghost, so he can go back to brag those with his colleagues.
After arriving, Wenbin Zha went to Laohan Zhang's home first.
The ashes of the dead (incineration ashes) had been brought back in the morning and were now being served in the mourning hall. It was the first time that director Zhao had seen a straw dummy lying in the coffin. A group of people were crying around the straw dummy, which was a bit weird.
People see Wenbin Zha back, asked him what to do next.
Wenbin Zha let Laohan Zhang gently pick up the cinerary casket, put it into the coffin, ready for the proper encoffin tonight.
Director Zhao was surprised to see it.
This proper encoffin, Wenbin Zha was completely see the straw dummy as a real person, as usual crossed the fairy bridge, here has a small story.
We all know how much the straw dummy weighs. Although Laohan Zhang is also a 60-year-old man, but he can't even carry a straw dummy on his back. In fact, when he carried the straw dummy on his back, he was sweating profusely, and he asked several times to Wenbin to stop for a rest. The crowd was also worried about this, they guessed: maybe the old lady attached to the straw dummy.
Wenbin was busy until the latter night, then he went back to rest, director Zhao was so excited, where he couldn't sleep all night. This kind of thing, he was the first time to see, he knew that Wenbin Zha didn't want to answer his question, he pestered Mr. He asked many questions, until Mr. He snored loudly, then he had to went to sleep.
The next morning, Laohan Zhang and other people buried the large coffin with the straw dummy and the cinerary casket in it. This time, the coffin was not flat, but upright in the soil.
Many people are also the first time to see this way of placing the coffin, especially director Zhao. On the way back, he pestered Wenbin Zha for an explaination, Wenbin Zha wanted to rest for a while, was bored no way, so explained a bit of it.
After this ordinary person dies, the body slowly rots. Even if there is only left with the skeleton, the soul can understand that this is its own body, because it is indeed its own body. but this straw dummy is different, it is a medium, nobody knows whether the soul of the dead can attach to it forever. In order to prevent the soul becomes a wild ghost, can only buried vertically, which equivalent to trapped the old lady inside.
We all know a harsh word called: Vertical in, horizontal out, when a person died, the coffin needs to buried horizontally, if buried vertically means there were evils.
This vertical burial in the Moushan sect is called "dragonfly walking on water". Originally, it was used in a place which is good in Geomantic Omen, that is suitable for burying the families of merchants or government officials. It indicates that future generations will be as light as dragonflies, and future generations will surely have a wide range of financial resources and a constant flow of officials, there is no danger of death, and requires the water pulse under the point, belonging to one of the treasure point, it is very difficult to find.
This is called Yin in the Yang, some placed three stones in the tomb for the symbol. Some planted a rectangular stone on the top of the grave, exposing the top of the grave for a foot. The deceased was male, planted on the left side of the top of the grave, if was a female, then planted on the right side. Some put a pot of sweet wine on the top of the grave, with a stone cover mouth, known as the "million pot. "
In fact, the actual Geomantic Omen of this place is general, but why Wenbin Zha used this complex burial method also has his own reason.
In ancient times, there are head to heaven, standing on the ground for burial, that is, "vertical and buried" of the vertical burial, and feet to the top of the hill where the tomb is located in the inverted, whether vertical burial or inverted burial, are to have the meaning to let the deceased ascended to heaven or heaven from the top of the mountain. This old lady has been attached to the straw dummy, in order not to let her find her body has been destroyed, the best way is to let her into the reincarnation early, so this method is used.
Director Zhao was totally surprised, would like to kneel down to worship the master.
After lunch, three of them drove directly to the county funeral parlour, it was easy to handle as director Zhao is there. Even though director Zhao is only from the vehicle management office, but he is from the provincial city. The director of this county funeral parlour, surnamed Jin, he is a big beard and has the appearance of a profiteer. He heard someone from the province come to check the car, also very polite, and invited three of them into the office, served with a good tea.
Director Zhao is accustomed to the power he has, he didn't refuse. He drunk a cup of tea and explained the intention directly, it is the hearse.
"Director Jin, the car, as far as I know, was a scrapped car. How did it become a hearse in Anxian County? "
Director Jin did not explain, passed cigarettes to them. Wenbin Zha shook his hand, meant he doesn't smoke, and director Jin lit the cigarette for director Zhao.
"Director Zhao, what you don't know is that our financial situation in Anxian County is so weak that we can't afford a new car. This funeral parlour is also people's livelihood, the head of the Civil Affairs department thought about it and asked someone to find us an old car from the provincial capital. What's wrong with this car? "
Director Zhao took a smoke, crossed his legs, looked at Wenbin, spit out a smoke ring, smiled, "this car was involved in a car accident a few years ago. Many people died in that accident. According to the regulations, it was pulled to be scrapped. I'm afraid it's never been more appropriate for you to use such a car to pull dead people. Haha." "Director Jin, it's just, this scrapped car is on the road again, according to the regulations, it has to be pulled back to be mandatory scrapped, and a fine need to be paid. "
Director Jin, who is in the business of the dead, naturally talks a way to people and talks another way to ghosts, thinking they must come for money. For a new car, it would cost at least 200,000 yuan, with a small mind, he said: "Director Zhao, you are a provincial leader, so, in the afternoon, I will arrange for everyone to have a meal, we are all a family, everything should be easy to discuss... "
Director Zhao has not started his word, Wenbin Zha just hummed: "Director Zhao of course you cannot change this car, if this car is not changed, I am afraid your business will always be good. "
Director Jin had been keeping an eye on the man, but he couldn't figure out who he was, so he couldn't ask. After Wenbin's word, he naturally answered, "brother, what do you mean by that? "
Wenbin Zha said slowly: "There were seven people died in this car, this such evil car, should have been destroyed. This car stayed in this funeral parlour, which is full of Yin Qi, I am afraid it has become a demon. "
"A car can also become a demon? don't joke about it, " director Jin replied.
Wenbin Zha stood up, walked around the director Jin: "Although you have placed many runes, however cannot retreat those evil spirits here. I have seen the Geomantic Omen of the funeral parlour. According to the eight diagrams of Yin and Yang, it should have been built by a talented person. It was supposed to neutralize the evil spirit of this place, but the river above was blocked to build road which lose its Yang. I find there is a black line between the eyebrows of Director Jin. I am afraid that director Jin has not slept very well these days."
The funeral parlour was contracted by the director Jin from the Civil Affairs department and he spent a lot of money, and operated exclusively in the whole county. Of course, he earned a lot of money, but this business of the dead is also not something that ordinary people can do. And earn money from the dead, everyone has a guilty conscience, it is inevitable to ask for a god, but Wenbin was actually right that these days' director Jin had a dream: often someone told him in the dream, ask him to drink together, but he couldn't see the one's face.
Listen to Wenbin's words, the cold sweat straight came out from the head of director Zhao, no wonder recently has been feeling very tired, this person able to tell the Geomantic Omen in here, is this person a talented person?
