Volume 1 Uncle Nine's World Chapter 51: Opening the Coffin, Doubts
Ren Fa's face changed when he heard this.
"What two possibilities?"
Jia Le looked at Uncle Jiu and saw that he had no objection, so he continued, "The first possibility is that the Feng Shui master just wanted to make a small punishment and teach him a lesson. After the burial site is moved 20 years later, the cause and effect will disappear. The second possibility is that there is a back-up plan in the reburial site. The previous plan may just be an excuse, and the real killer move is here."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone suddenly felt a solemn atmosphere and became serious.
Ren Fa also had a gloomy expression on his face, and no one knew what he was thinking.
It just so happened that the tools were already prepared and the tomb had been opened, so everyone turned their attention to opening , and Uncle Jiu was also ready to go.
"Today is the day when Ren Weiyong will see the light of day again. Anyone aged thirty-six, twenty-two, thirty-five or forty-eight whose zodiac sign is the Rooster or the Ox must turn away."
After hearing Uncle Jiu's words, everyone immediately started to act. In fact, these people also understood the matter. After all, avoidance is not just about relocating the burial site.
Generally, there are three taboos in funerals. The first is when the body is being buried or the coffin is sealed. People with the same zodiac sign as the deceased cannot be present, otherwise they will get sick or go crazy from the impact of the evil spirit.
The second is to send away the old, that is, when the ritual is completed and the coffin is ready to be carried out of the living door, people who have the same zodiac sign as the deceased cannot be present and must avoid it.
The third is that during the burial, after the grave has been dug and the coffin is being prepared to be placed into the grave, people with the same zodiac sign as the deceased cannot be present and it is best to avoid them.
Moreover, funerals usually take place during the day, so one must be careful not to leave one's shadow in the grave, otherwise it will attract evil spirits and be inauspicious.
The explanation of divination that I just learned in the past three days is that Tai Sui is suppressing the offering. The person who is offended by Tai Sui should avoid it when moving the coffin or burying the dead. Otherwise, it will be unlucky if it conflicts with the offering.
"The retreat is over. Everyone, put on your clothes and open the coffin!"
Everything was ready. At noon, the sun was shining brightly. It was the auspicious time to open the coffin. Uncle Jiu did not hesitate and shouted directly.
Four strong young men stood at the four corners of the coffin, ready to open it.
Just at this moment, a crow's cry was heard, and a flock of crows flew over their heads and lingered there. When everyone saw this scene, they were suddenly a little scared.
Everyone knew that the crow was an ominous bird. Now that the coffin was opened and the crow's cry was heard, everyone felt that it was a bad omen.
At this moment, they all thought of what Jia Le had just said, especially Ren Fa, whose face had completely changed and he hurried to the coffin.
Jiale also remembered the . The crow is the messenger of yin and yang, with the ability to enter and exit yin and yang, and is the most capable of sensing good and bad luck. In fact, people have got the order wrong. It is not that the crow appeared and brought bad luck, but because something bad is about to happen, the crow appeared in advance to warn strangers.
Just like what is happening right before our eyes, according to normal circumstances, there is no need to open the coffin. With such a bad omen, just burn the coffin together. Unfortunately, people will never turn back until they hit the wall. If you say this at this moment, I'm afraid they will turn against you.
The coffin has been opened, and a complete corpse has appeared in front of everyone. It is dead but not stiff, and stiff but not immortal. The facial features are clearly visible, and black air is coming out of the body. Everyone can't help but change their minds. Uncle Jiu's brows are twisted together. He is almost turning into a zombie. No wonder it is a bad omen.
"father!"
"grandfather!"
Ren Fa and Ren Tingting had already fallen to their knees, obviously not realizing the seriousness of the matter.
"I am so unfilial to have disturbed you, old man ! Uncle Jiu, can this tomb still be used?"
Uncle Jiu pondered for a moment, "It's like a dragonfly touching the water. It can't touch the same acupuncture point again. This cemetery cannot be used anymore."
"What should we do then?"
Uncle Jiu wanted to tell the truth, but after thinking about it, he took back the words. If he said that Ren Weiyong had shown signs of turning into a zombie, it would definitely cause panic. Moreover, if the old man turned into a zombie, it would affect the reputation of the Ren family. Ren Fa might even change his attitude.
"I propose cremation on the spot!"
Ren Fa's face suddenly changed when he heard this, and he quickly shook his head and was about to refuse.
Jiale came to his side.
"Master Ren, I don't know if you still remember what I just said. Now the second possibility has come true. We are professionals. I hope you can think about it before making a decision."
Ren Fa was silent when he heard this. He recalled what Jia Le had said just now. The second option meant that there might be a backup plan later. But he was not happy with cremation. It was not because he was filial, but in this era, filial piety was very important. It would affect other people's evaluation of the Ren family and thus affect the Ren family's business. Cremation was not what a filial son should do.
What people value is to be buried in peace. After being buried for twenty years, they dug it out one day and burned it directly. Even if there were not too many rumors, people would probably trample him into the ground.
Thinking of his own business, Ren Fa finally gritted his teeth and said, "Uncle Jiu, please think of a way. The body must not be cremated. If it succeeds, my Ren family will definitely reward you handsomely."
Jia Le was speechless when he heard this. It was difficult to persuade the damned ghost with kind words, and too much talk would lead to mistakes, so he said no more.
When Uncle Jiu saw Ren Fa's attitude, he no longer had the desire to persuade him. It was obvious that Ren Fa knew the reason, but he just didn't want to listen. They had their reasons, but Ren Fa also had his own persistence. It was just a matter of making a choice.
After pondering for a while, Uncle Jiu could only sigh and said, "Okay, then let's temporarily leave him in our charity cemetery. Tomorrow I will help the old man find another grave so that he can rest in peace sooner."
Hearing Uncle Jiu's words, Ren Fa of course agreed. The bodies had all been taken to the charity cemetery, so even if there was any disaster, it would be the charity cemetery's disaster. They should be fine, and he immediately felt relieved.
Ah Wei said directly, "Okay, close the coffin lid and carry it to the funeral home!"
After everything was settled, Ren Fa, under the arrangement of Uncle Jiu, took everyone away. Suddenly, only Uncle Jiu, Jia Le, Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai were left at the cemetery.
Uncle Jiu glanced at Jiale, then said to Qiusheng and Wencai, "You two should set up the plum blossom incense array on the graves. Tell me what it looks like when you go back. Burn incense on every grave. Jiale, come back with me."
Jia Le glanced at Qiu Sheng and remembered the name of this Japanese ghost. He wanted to remind him, but changed his mind and gave up the idea. When watching the movie, he thought that the female ghost provoked Qiu Sheng because he said a few more words. However, after traveling through time and learning what he had learned from Maoshan, and seeing that Qiu Sheng had a pure yang body, he knew that it was not because of his words, but because Qiu Sheng had a physique that attracted ghosts.
Ghosts love yang energy. Even if Qiu Sheng didn't say anything, as long as the female ghost saw Qiu Sheng, she would not miss the opportunity to absorb yang energy.
He shook his head and followed Uncle Jiu.
"Jia Le, what do you think about this?"
Of course Jia Le knew that what Uncle Jiu said was the truth that Ren Weiyong was dead but not yet stiff, and even though he was stiff, he was still immortal.
"Uncle Master, I'm afraid that this is the Feng Shui master's back-up plan. It's obvious that the Feng Shui master set up this Feng Shui situation in order to make Old Master Ren turn into a corpse. You know, zombies first look for their closest relatives. If a corpse turns into a corpse, the entire Ren family will be wiped out. The best way is to dispose of the corpse as soon as possible. Unfortunately, Ren Fa has some reservations and did not agree. Now we can only pay more attention to it."
