His grave has not been taken care of for more than a month, and the other places are covered with grass. Only the place where the urn is placed in the middle of the grave has no grass, but some new mud has fallen on the ground. ......
After I saw it, I went around to the back of the grave, and then climbed up to have a look. I was so scared that I rolled down and ran back home as fast as I could.
Because Xiaoxiao and I were kneeling in front of the coffin when Xiaoxiao's father was buried, and I knew where the urn was placed in the coffin.
When I looked at the tomb just now, I found a big hole in the top of the tomb. When I went down through the hole, I saw that the coffin had also been dug out. Then I looked inside the coffin with bright light, and there was no urn where there should have been an urn.
This time it took less than five minutes to run home, and he shouted directly, "Uncle Ye's urn was dug up."
Meng Changqing was sitting in the main room thinking about something, and when my grandparents heard my shout, they came out and yelled at me: "Don't talk nonsense when you're reciting."
I said it was true. Seeing that I didn't look like I was lying, my grandparents rushed up the hill with a hoe, and Meng Changqing followed.
Grandpa worked hard, so he dug up the grave three times and five times, and pried open the coffin to see that it was really empty inside.
Grandpa looked at the coffin with a hoe, and looked at the coffin with fear on his face, and said, "Oh no, I have to find a way to notify your second grandma to come back."
Our village attaches great importance to the dead. We will invite the dead to come home for dinner every year and festival, and weed the graves when we are free. What the elderly here are most afraid of is that their graves will not be taken care of after death, let alone the graves will be dug up.
Meng Changqing frowned when he looked at the grave. No matter where it is, digging other people's graves is a very sinful thing.
When the grandparents saw that the urn was missing, they immediately ran to call the villagers to discuss it.
Meng Changqing watched for a while and then took me away. He said that people under the age of twelve cannot watch these scenes.
In this regard, I only trust Second Grandma and Meng Changqing, and I will follow whatever he says.
After returning home, I asked Meng Changqing if he saw anything, and Meng Changqing said that he would be able to see it tonight.
I saw him half-spoken, and I was anxious, but I knew his character and knew that even if I asked him, he would not say more.
Seeing me anxious, he smiled and said, "I'll leave after this matter is settled. I told you when you were apprenticed to a teacher that you didn't get the consent of your family. You can leave Taoism at any time, but before that you still have My apprentice, I still want to teach you something. Taoism has a saying of sexual cultivation. A while ago, letting you drink tea is part of sexual cultivation. The tea was for you to meditate. If you are free, you can also drink tea , tell me the taste of the tea after drinking, if you can know the taste of the tea, it means that you can stop reading, and I will teach you Taoism when you stop reading."
I was very happy when I heard him tell me that he wanted to teach me, but after thinking about it, after drinking tea for so long, I have never tasted the taste of tea. Besides, the temperature of the tea leaves and water are different every time, so the tea tastes natural It's not the same, how can I taste it?
Meng Changqing laughed again when he saw my frown in embarrassment, and then said: "If you can calm down and stop thinking, you won't have such an expression."
I reckoned that he deliberately made up such a thing to fool me, but I didn't want to miss the opportunity, so I poured a cup of tea and drank it.
The grandparents and the others didn't go back to the house all morning, they were all busy in front of Xiaoxiao's father's grave, and the villagers were also looking for Xiaoxiao's father's ashes everywhere.
Meng Changqing and I stayed in the house in no hurry. In the afternoon, all the villagers went to the grandparents' house to rest.
That was all the discussion during the break.
They guessed that it was not made by people, but something like a weasel was taken away, and people would not touch the urn if they had nothing to do.
Because the second grandma was not in the village, the grandparents became Xiaoxiao's father's closest relatives. When this happened, the grandparents had to take up the task of finding the urn first.
During the period, they asked the second grandma to come back soon, and asked me where the second grandma was, but I don't know where she is now, so I can only say that I don't know.
In addition, the signal in the village is not very good, and telephones are not popular at all. In the whole Snakehead Village, only the village head, Grandpa Ye, has a red landline. On weekdays, when someone calls in from outside, he will shout "so-and-so , Come to answer the phone at a certain time', the person who gets the notification will pass at that time, and call back at a certain time, so he will receive the call.
Because it was too closed, the second mistress didn't have a phone at all, and it was impossible to call her. All I could do now was wait for her to come back.
Meng Changqing listened to their conversation for a while, and interrupted: "Don't go out this afternoon, I will help you find it tonight, but you have to prepare something for me."
They looked at Meng Changqing strangely. I understood what they meant. They thought Meng Changqing was asking them for money, that's why they had this look. Now they definitely regarded Meng Changqing as a liar.
I understand it, and Meng Changqing naturally understands it, but he doesn't care about other people's eyes, and he still said in an unhurried manner: "Give me a dustpan, a liter of sand, nine red beans, two pairs of chopsticks, etc. in the afternoon. Just a few more dogs."
The villagers retracted their original gaze when they heard that it wasn't money. It wasn't that the villagers were stingy and reluctant to part with money, but they were too simple. In their eyes, asking for money by themselves and being offered money by others were two completely different concepts.
When the villagers heard that Meng Changqing wanted these weird things, they hurriedly asked Meng Changqing if there was any good way. Meng Changqing laughed and said that these things should not be talked about outside, and if others use them to do bad things, he will create karma.
They really didn't go out in the afternoon, some of them went to prepare what Meng Changqing wanted, and some of them stayed here to chat with Meng Changqing.
Meng Changqing is very gentle-spoken, and it is very comfortable to chat with him, so the villagers talked around Meng Changqing all afternoon. When they knew that Meng Changqing was not married, they even said that they would help Meng Changqing find a wife. , the buttocks are big, good for giving birth to babies, they are thick and can work. If you have time tomorrow, ask Meng Changqing to take a look.
When it came to this matter, Meng Changqing's face became turbulent, and he waved his hands again and again in embarrassment and said no.
The villagers ate dinner at their grandparents' house, but Meng Changqing didn't eat it. He said that he should clean his heart and mouth before doing things, but his grandparents didn't understand this, so he followed his advice.
Before serving the table, Meng Changqing asked his grandparents who was closer to Xiaoxiao's father. Before the grandparents could say anything, the villagers all pointed to me and said, "This baby, when he died, this baby was sent all the way."
After Meng Changqing learned about it, he lifted me off the dining table, said that he would use me in a while, and I couldn't eat, and asked me to wash up.
After the meal, Meng Changqing ran into the house and took out his purple Taoist robe and put it on. He was an ordinary person before, but after putting it on, he changed drastically. At first glance, he looked like a powerful person. The villagers also praised Meng Changqing as a good talent.
Meng Changqing responded to them and started to decorate the main room. Meng Changqing held me aside and recited the Eight Great God Mantras.
The Eight Great Mantras are something that Taoism must recite in the morning and evening classes. I have been with him for so long, so I naturally learned it.
The eight great mantras are "Mind Purification Mantra, Mouth Purification Mantra, Body Purification Mantra, Golden Light Mantra, Heaven and Earth Mantra, Incense Mantra, and Xuanyun Mantra".
When I was chanting the mantra, the villagers sighed and said, "This baby is promising, and he can become a god in the future."
I heard it was funny, and I could become a god after reading something that I don't understand a few times.
After reading for about an hour, Meng Changqing let me open my eyes. He had already arranged the main room.
All the villagers sat in circles in the house according to his request. Two big wolf dogs were tied to the door and stared at them. On the Eight Immortals table in the middle of the house was a dustpan filled with sand. The sand was inlaid with nine red beans, arranged in a nine-square grid.
Meng Changqing himself was carrying a money sword behind his back, his face was extremely majestic, his expression was unsmiling, and his eyes were more terrifying than the wolf dogs outside.
I asked Meng Changqing why he had to carry the sword behind his back, and why he couldn't smile before catching ghosts.
The explanation he gave me was: "Things such as money swords and talismans have been opened. The things that have been opened should not be stained with water or dirt. It is the safest and cleanest to carry on the back. As for why before catching ghosts? The majestic face is easy to explain, people are afraid of evil spirits, and ghosts are afraid of evil people, as long as the face is majestic and terrifying, ghosts will not dare to get close."
Of course, this is off topic.
After I opened my eyes, Meng Changqing asked me to sit cross-legged in front of the dustpan in a "five-hearted" manner, holding a cross made of two chopsticks in my hand.
After I sat down, Meng Changqing turned around and said to the villagers: "In a while, I will use the Taoist 'dou divination method' and 'fuji method' to divination where the urn is. It will attract some unclean things, if you see dogs barking, throw a stick of incense there to get rid of them."
The villagers were confused, but they still nodded.
Afterwards, Meng Changqing lit a kerosene lamp beside me and burned some tung oil in a small cauldron.
After everything was over, Meng Changqing asked me to close my eyes, and he stood behind me and recited a mantra and squeezed his hands together.
After a while, I fell asleep in a daze. During this period, I dreamed that many people came to pick me up. Every time I wanted to go with them, Meng Changqing would shout: "Don't be fooled by ghosts."
This has been repeated many times, and after an unknown period of time, I suddenly felt an unbearable burning sensation in my hands. I opened my eyes suddenly, only to see my grandfather dripping boiling tung oil on my hands.
I hurriedly retracted my hand and yelled, Meng Changqing then dragged me aside, and he went to look at the dustpan by himself.
I looked outside the door, the dog was barking crazily outside, and the door was already covered with sandalwood.
