Volume 1 Uncle Nine's World Chapter 50: Legal Burial
After Uncle Jiu interpreted the divination, his expression couldn't help but become a little solemn. It seemed that things were just as they thought, there was indeed something wrong with Old Master Ren's tomb.
But Uncle Jiu has already agreed, so even if he knows there is a problem, he has to go and take a look.
What's more, although it is an ominous omen, it is not the kind of ominous omen that will lead to death. It just represents a certain degree of danger.
"Okay, it's good that we're prepared. Let's go meet up with Master Ren first."
The Ren family had already made preparations. When Uncle Jiu brought Jiale and the others to the Ren family, Master Ren was already waiting, followed by dozens of people. Some were members of the Ren family, and some were people hired by Master Ren to do the work. Ren Tingting and security team leader Awei were among them.
The group walked silently straight to a green hill not far behind Renjia Town.
Old Master Ren’s mausoleum was built in a grand manner and occupied a large area, so people could see it from afar.
"You seem to be knowledgeable, why do you want to be a Taoist priest?"
Mr. Ren and Ren Tingting were both sitting in sedan chairs, and Jiale and his party were walking next to Ren Tingting. Ren Tingting seemed to still be bothered by what happened that day, and she stared at Jiale the whole way. Finally, perhaps she couldn't help herself and asked.
Jia Le turned his head and looked at Ren Tingting. Today, Ren Tingting was not wearing a fancy dress, nor was she wearing any heavy makeup. Instead, she looked more pure and beautiful than when they first met three days ago. After all, girls of this age are the most beautiful. Why does she need heavy makeup, which would destroy her beauty?
Jiale made sure that Ren Tingting was talking to him before answering.
"The Taoist priest is great. Whether you believe it or not, we all have real abilities. If you really encounter problems, you still have to think about our own side. Don't always listen to what those fake foreigners say. How can the things left by our ancestors not make sense?"
As they were talking, they had already arrived at the grave of Old Master Ren.
Not to mention, it really is a place with excellent feng shui, surrounded by mountains and water, with a gentle breeze.
"The Feng Shui master said that the Feng Shui here is very good."
Uncle Jiu looked around, and Ren Fa followed him. He couldn't help but speak, as if he was very proud of the cemetery he had chosen that year.
Uncle Jiu did not deny that this was indeed an excellent acupuncture point, and it was impeccable.
"Yes, the acupuncture point here is indeed very good. It is called the Dragonfly Touching Water Acupuncture Point. The hole is 34 feet long, but only four feet can be used. It is 13 feet wide, but only three feet can be used. Therefore, the coffin cannot be buried flat, and can only be buried in a traditional way."
Upon hearing this, Ren Fa immediately showed admiration. Uncle Jiu was naturally very famous, but real kung fu had to be seen with one's own eyes. Not to mention the follow-up, just this one glance was enough to show the wonders of the tomb, which made Ren Fa appreciate Uncle Jiu even more.
I couldn't help but exclaimed, "Great, Uncle Jiu."
"French burial, Master, what is a French burial? Is it a French-style funeral?"
Wencai was so curious at this time that he asked directly. If it were usual, Uncle Jiu would have hoped that Wencai would ask more professional questions, but now there were so many people around, and even laymen knew all this. Wencai, as Uncle Jiu's apprentice, arranged a French-style funeral, which really made Uncle Jiu feel embarrassed.
I couldn't help but glare at him, "Stop talking nonsense!"
When they arrived at the tomb, Wencai felt a little aggrieved. Seeing Uncle Jiu being surrounded by the young men and asked whether they wanted to start digging, he came to Jiale and asked what a legal burial meant.
Qiu Sheng also came over to listen. He didn't know either, but Qiu Sheng was smarter and would not embarrass Uncle Jiu in public.
In fact, not many people know about legal burial, because it is rarely used, and the ones that are well-known and passed down are even rarer. People cannot accept what they don't know, so Feng Shui masters rarely recommend people to do this.
Jiale did not refuse and started the small class directly.
"The so-called legal burial is actually burial in an upright position. Our burials are generally divided into two types, one is horizontal burial and the other is legal burial.
Flat burial method: There are mountains and waters that meet and the grave is in the water, so the qi can flow through all the year round. If the soil is piled up, the qi will float and disperse, so the flat method is used. Look at the water to build a stone wall, and cover the wall with a large stone slab, leaving a gap in the front to allow water to flow out. Place the coffin on the stone slab, and pile up the soil to form a grave, and you will be blessed with wealth immediately.
The law of burial: If the law prohibits it, there will be no disaster. There are many mountains and ridges, and many dragon veins gather. The special dragons should be eliminated first. Some big dragons are very small, and some small dragons are very large. These special dragon veins cannot be used as burial sites. The scriptures say: Ridge dragons are required to rise above the ground, and branch dragons are required to crawl underground.
However, this burial method is not common. Usually, only some generals will adopt the French burial method, which means to inspect the troops in the parade ground. In this way, the emperor is in a high position and has great power. He can command the army when he is alive, and he will inspect the troops in the parade ground after his death. How magnificent is it? It can also bring blessings to future generations.
The dragonfly-dipped-water hole in front of me is a good hole, but the area it can be used in is too small, and it won’t work if it is laid flat, so I have to use the ritual burial method.”
After Jia Le finished speaking, everyone looked at him in astonishment. They never expected that a burial method could have so many names. Even Uncle Jiu nodded repeatedly.
"That's it. I want you two to study hard. If you don't listen, you will regret not having enough knowledge when you need it. Let's see if you dare to be lazy again in the future."
Uncle Jiu praised Jiale and reminded Qiu Sheng and Wencai. Ren Fat also looked at Jiale with a different eye at this time and couldn't help but admire him.
"Uncle Jiu, there are so many talented people in Maoshan!"
Uncle Jiu was also proud of it, but it was a pity that this was not his own disciple.
Even Ren Tingting, who had always looked down on such superstitious practices, was a little confused at this time. She actually felt that what Jiale said made a lot of sense. In fact, people are like this. If you can express your own reasons, even if some people are stubborn, you can shake them.
It was Ah Wei who noticed Ren Tingting's gaze at this time. Jia Lesheng's heroic spirit, which was much more powerful than his, made Ah Wei feel threatened. His eyes were rolling around, and no one knew what bad thoughts he was having.
Work has already started over there, Ren Fa continued speaking.
"The Feng Shui master back then said that if the ancestors were buried upright, the descendants would definitely be great. Unfortunately, although the words were good, they did not work. In the past twenty years, our Ren family's business has been getting worse and worse. I don't know why."
In fact, this is also the reason why Ren Fa insisted on breaking ground and relocating the burial site. He also has some talent for doing business. Since the reason is not with him, it must be Feng Shui. Unlike Ren Tingting, businessmen like Ren Fa attach great importance to Feng Shui metaphysics.
Uncle Jiu also shook his head, "I think that Feng Shui master has a grudge against your Ren family?"
"Have a grudge?"
"Did the old man have any grudge against him when he was alive?"
Ren Fa was a little embarrassed at this time, "This piece of land originally belonged to that Feng Shui master. My father knew it was a good piece of land, so he bought it."
"It's just inducement, is there any coercion?"
Ren Fa could only laugh dryly at this time, but the answer was very obvious.
"I think it must be coercion, otherwise why would he hurt you."
Jiale was already standing next to the tomb. Uncle Jiu came over and asked, "Jiale, did you see anything?"
Seeing that Uncle Jiu was giving him face, Jia Le coughed lightly, "Uncle Master, this is a dragonfly touching water grave. It should have been covered with snow, but now cement is placed on top. The head of the coffin cannot touch the water. How can it be called a dragonfly touching water grave? A good grave is wasted, and it has become a bad place. I'm afraid it will be ominous. No wonder the Feng Shui master said that we should move the grave after 20 years. I see only two possibilities!"
