For a moment, my throat seemed to be blocked by something, and I was speechless.
Needless to say, Qingyi must have rushed over from Jiangxi overnight after hearing about my situation. For a moment, I looked at Qingyi and didn't know what to say.
Thank you, it seems that there is no need for that kind of courtesy between the two of us. We have shared life and death in the Qinling Mountains, and it would be a bit too strange to say thank you to friends.
So, after holding it in for a long time, I finally said: "Let's eat first, and we'll talk after dinner!"
A faint smile appeared at the corner of Qingyi's mouth, and she nodded gently.
I hurriedly called Zhou Jing to prepare food. I was going to let Zhou Jing order some dishes from outside. After all, I fell down and it was daytime. There was really no one in the house who could cook, so I could only order dishes from outside. As a result, before Zhou Jing could leave, he was stopped by Susu - Susu's meaning was very simple, the food outside was not clean, it was not good for my current health, it would be better for her to cook at home!
Then she didn't even give us a chance to refuse, and took the initiative to take on the task of cooking, which made me even more embarrassed. She was just a hired special caregiver, and it was indeed a bit inappropriate for her to do housework like cooking. I thought to myself that when I get better, I must repay her generously.
Lunch was actually very simple, with four dishes and one soup. Su Su made a simple home-cooked meal with a different taste. I tried it. Although I was still inconvenient to move, I could barely hold on and get out of bed, so I simply gritted my teeth and went to the dining table to accompany Qingyi for a simple meal. Of course, I stood the whole time, because I couldn't sit down at all in my current situation. After being tormented by that ghost old lady that night, the stitches on my buttocks were all broken. I heard from Zhou Jing that Su Su removed the stitches for me and cleaned and sutured them again. Now the wound is much more serious than the original problem. I can basically only lie on my stomach when I sleep. Even lying on my side will compress the wound and make it feel suffocated, let alone sitting down.
During the dinner, I once again asked about the situation of the wax corpse soul lock in detail. Qingyi told me that we must first find the location of the wax corpse, and then open the coffin to dig this thing out to deal with it in order to eradicate it!
The wax corpse soul lock is a thing that has a body and soul. The body is the best container for the soul. Generally speaking, it should be the soul that is sent out. If the soul is injured, it will be fine after returning to the body to rest for a period of time. Not only that, if the body is not destroyed, even if the soul is completely broken up, it will gradually condense after a period of time and finally take shape!
In the final analysis, the most critical part of the wax corpse soul lock is the body. Finding the body can fundamentally solve the problem.
Qingyi said that the two times I met the ghost old lady were near my home. If nothing unexpected happens, the place where the ghost old lady's body is buried should be near my home. Qingyi is not particularly good at Feng Shui tomb finding. This is our old Ge family's specialty, so Qingyi asked me to go with him later. I will be responsible for finding the burial place of the ghost old lady, and he will solve it.
I thought about it and finally agreed.
Judging from the appearance of the ghost old lady, although she was a rich family, she was at most a landlord, not a noble official, because the real royal and noble families would not use the method of preserving corpses by making wax corpses. People think that making wax corpses will damage the appearance, so the technology used to preserve corpses is much more advanced than this.
The most common method is a "corpse bathing" method, which is to bathe and disinfect the corpse immediately before burial. Bathing the corpse with this wine mixed with turmeric juice is the same as the orchid used by living people to boil orchid soup for bathing, which has a refreshing and disinfecting effect. Not only that, those people in the powerful families will also use mercury and arsenic to preserve the corpse. The corpse preserved in this way will still look lifelike after thousands of years. The female corpse in Mawangdui was preserved in this way.
In addition to this method of preservation, the families of the dignitaries usually use multiple layers of textiles to wrap the corpses to prevent bacteria from invading. Take the female corpse in Mawangdui as an example. When the female corpse was unearthed, it was wrapped in about 20 layers of various clothes, and then tied with nine silk ribbons from head to toe. The face was also covered with a mask. After such treatment, it finally did not decay for a thousand years and was lifelike when unearthed!
Of course, in addition to the two methods mentioned above, the dignitaries in ancient times had many other ways to preserve corpses. Some of them were similar to making mummies, removing the internal organs of the corpse and then dehydrating and air-drying it. Some used jade to preserve it, such as the gold thread jade clothes. In short, there are many kinds of ways, countless.
Compared with these methods, the method of making wax corpses seems a bit shabby, so I guess that the ghost old lady was at most a landlord and a squire in her lifetime. The tomb of a landlord and a squire would not ask a Feng Shui master to choose the dragon veins and earth veins that can dominate the destiny of a country, and they can't afford it, so at most they just pick a place with good Feng Shui. Such a place is not difficult to find with my experience accumulated during the period of studying "Fa Qiu Secret Art", so I dared to agree.
After lunch, Qingyi and I discussed it again, and finally decided to set off in the afternoon to find the tomb of the ghost old lady. Although I was not able to move easily, it was no problem with Zhou Jing and Su Su's support, so Qingyi and I climbed the telecommunications building not far from my home. This building is the tallest building near my home. To look at Feng Shui, you naturally have to stand on a high place, look at the overall situation, and see everything at a glance, so that you can find the best place!
To be honest, this is my first time to look at the area near my home, so I looked at it very carefully.
The Feng Shui of the cemetery is actually a little different from the Feng Shui of the house. According to the "Fa Qiu Secret Art", the first thing to pay attention to is the sun!
From 8 am to 1:30 pm, the place where the sun shines is suitable for funerals, because this period of time is the time when the yang energy between heaven and earth is the heaviest. You can imagine what kind of place the place where the sun does not shine during this period is - the yin land! !
If people are buried in the underworld, something bad will happen. The souls of people who had grudges in their lifetime will not be willing to enter reincarnation, and absorb the Yin Qi to become evil ghosts to take lives. People who had no grudges in their lifetime will be even more lively. Once the souls go to the underworld, the bodies are nourished by the Yin Qi, and when they see the Yang Qi of living things, they will immediately rise up and become big dumplings. At that time, it will be very lively...
So when I chose the general range, I basically followed the sunlight, and soon my eyes were fixed on a place - it was a piece of wasteland less than ten miles away from my home!
Everyone knows that Xiaodian District is already a suburb of Taiyuan, and my home is already around Xiaodian District. That piece of wasteland is more than ten miles away from my home. Natural beauty has been developed, and now it is basically abandoned and idle, and there are factories everywhere around it!
Why did I choose this piece of wasteland?
Because if I remember correctly, when I looked at the geographical environment of Taiyuan before, it was said that the wasteland was the site of the original moat of Taiyuan City, but it has dried up now.
Feng Shui Feng Shui must have wind and water. If there is water near our home, then there is only this dried up moat.
This river dried up in the 1940s and 1950s. The ghost old lady was from the Qing Dynasty. When she was buried, the moat still existed, so her tomb must be near this moat!
Looking at the distance, to the west of the moat is Longshan around Taiyuan City!
As expected, the tomb of the ghost old lady is on this wasteland between Longshan and this moat, because this just meets the saying of "there is light in front and there is support behind" in Feng Shui, which means facing the water and backing the mountain, and the sun can still shine on it. This is the best funeral address!
If the ghost old lady was buried near my home, it must be there, because there is only that piece of land near my home suitable for burial. People in the Qing Dynasty were more superstitious than now. The ghost old lady was from a landlord family. It would be really strange if she didn't find a place with good Feng Shui to be buried!
So I pointed out the area I had chosen to Qingyi, and then asked him with some doubts what to do after I got there. After all, although the wasteland is not big, it is also more than ten acres. It is impossible to search all these ten acres of land, right?
"Let's go! Let's go now!"
Qingyi's eyes flashed with a cold light: "As long as there is a rough range, I can find it when I go there!"
