"This is a good thing." I took out my night vision glasses and took a closer look. The surface of the stone was as smooth as ice and slightly cool to the touch, but it did not produce any light at all. It must be because it had not been exposed to the sun.

The uncle said, "These are the most basic tools for earthwork. As your abilities improve, new tools will become available, such as the Earth Spirit Stick and the Yang Gong Compass, which require more technical skills."

Each of these items has its own function. When I put them in my pocket, I suddenly felt a sense of pride and felt that I was already a master of the world.

With the two items "Earthwork Kit" and "Corpse-Suppressing Plate" in hand, Chu Sen and I studied harder. After two weeks, we had mastered a certain basic of Feng Shui theory. The reason why we could make such rapid progress was not unrelated to the guidance of our teacher. These Feng Shui works provided by Longhua Village were all adapted and written in completely understandable vernacular. The key words were annotated and my uncle often explained the key points to us.

In short, with the help and efforts from several aspects, we have made great progress. Of course, Chu Sen learns a little slower among the two of us because his memory is not as good as mine. I can remember many things at a glance, but he can't do that. He has to read them over and over again.

During this period, six family members who were busy with business outside came back and left, but I never saw Luo Tianbao. I wanted to ask my uncle, but I felt I was meddling, so I didn't ask. During this period, my third uncle was very depressed. He hid in the house all day and didn't come out to see anyone. Chu Sen and I secretly discussed whether we should go to see him, but we both felt that the relationship between my third uncle and my eldest uncle was not very good. The two of us now rely entirely on my eldest uncle for a living, so it is not convenient for us to contact my third uncle.

People are realistic, and we are just two ants among the ordinary people. Our knowledge and cultivation are not higher than those of ordinary people, so we should still follow secular standards and do secular things.

Soon I witnessed the first ** incident after moving into Longhua Village. On a rainy morning, after having breakfast and reading for a while, I was planning to go out with Chu Sen to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Longhua Village in the rain, but when I went downstairs and pushed the door, I found that it was locked.

We didn't have a key to the front door, but the gate to the Longhua Village villa had never been locked. Outsiders were never allowed in. The village was full of locals, so you could imagine how safe it was. But it was locked today. I figured there must be a reason. So, I returned to my room, bored, and was about to discuss my "learning results" when Chu Sen, standing by the window and lighting a cigarette, said, "Come and see, we've opened our eyes today."

When I walked to the window, I saw a man in a beige robe holding an oil umbrella standing in the open space in front of the "tile-roofed house area" of the Fifth Old Master.

This person had his back to us and was holding an umbrella, so we couldn't see his face clearly.

I have been in Longhua Village for quite a few days, and this is the first time in my life that I have seen the "Umbrella Fairy".

After Uncle Qi introduced the profession of "Umbrella Fairy", I became very interested in this profession. The reason is that I think those who can become Umbrella Fairies are all very capable and have a high level of status. Otherwise, it would be impossible to highlight the Umbrella Fairy's "going against the trend" and fearless and cold characteristics.

After seeing the Umbrella Fairy with my own eyes, I understood something more. Before this, I had always been skeptical about "corpse transformation", but today I completely understood that not every corpse will be digested by the soil according to natural laws and become organic fertilizer. "Corpse transformation" is a real phenomenon.

There was no one to be seen in the huge Longhua Village. Everyone seemed to be deliberately avoiding facing the Umbrella Fairy head-on, while he stood strangely at the door of the Fifth Old Master without moving. After standing there for a long time, he finally walked slowly towards the village entrance. His speed was very slow, and he didn't seem to be in a hurry at all.

We watched the Umbrella Fairy disappear in the dense drizzle. Chu Sen asked, "Who do you think he is?"

Only then did I realize that I was so focused on the Umbrella Fairy's "temperament" that I hadn't even thought about her identity.

Except for the eldest uncle, all the people with certain abilities in Longhua Village are working outside, and women in the village are not allowed to participate in family business, so the umbrella fairy can only be the eldest uncle or one of the three old men. Among them, the third grandfather is the least likely because his main job is paper-making. No matter how high the artistic value of paper figures is, it is impossible to reach the level of restraining zombies .

Neither of us had the heart to read anymore and spent a long time guessing who this person was. After much thought, we thought that my uncle was the most likely candidate, but from the back of the Umbrella Fairy, he was obviously thinner than my uncle.

"Could it be Third Uncle?" Chu Sen asked.

"Impossible. Uncle San's left hand was injured not long ago and hasn't recovered yet. Besides, with Uncle San's abilities, he probably doesn't have the qualifications to be an umbrella fairy."

"That's strange, who could it be?" We kept guessing but couldn't figure out who it was. After a while, I heard my uncle say, "Why are you standing by the window instead of reading?"

"Uncle, we just saw the umbrella fairy. Who is he?" I asked quickly.

"I've been staying at home just like you guys , and I don't know who it is." I certainly can't believe this. Given my uncle's status and position in the family, if he doesn't know who the Umbrella Fairy is, who else can know?

Perhaps he saw the doubt on my face, so my uncle asked, "You don't believe it?"

"If the identity of the Umbrella Fairy cannot be revealed at will, I won't ask."

The uncle nodded approvingly and said, "Every time the Umbrella Fairy goes out on errands, the clan leader decides who will take the job. It's definitely the most capable person in Longhua Village. As for who it is, according to the rules, it's not disclosed. If the Umbrella Fairy's identity is revealed, it would be like telling everyone that this is a highly capable person in the industry. You all know the saying that a tall tree attracts the wind, right?"

"I understand, but who else in the family besides you can be the umbrella fairy?" Chu Sen asked curiously.

The uncle said, "Even if no one else is capable of doing the job, it wouldn't be me, because I don't have the ability."

"You are so low-key." I said.

"Generally, low-key people are incompetent. This is the way to be a human being." Uncle said with a smile.

In the afternoon, the women and children in the village finally went out, and gathered in groups of three or four in the village square to chat and play.

During lunch, my uncle gave us a task to find the place where the red coffin was buried in the back mountain.

Most coffins come in two colors, log color and black, but there are special cases. For example, there is a coffin called the Five Elements Coffin, in which the "fire coffin" is red. However, people who use the Five Elements Coffin as a "burial vessel" mostly have a conflict between the five elements of their numerology and their descendants. Burying in a Five Elements Coffin can alleviate the conflict between the two.

The five elements coffin cannot be buried in a grave but must be a tomb, that is, there must be no raised soil on the coffin, it can only be sealed with flat soil. If there is no tombstone in front of the tomb, it is difficult to find the fire coffin with the naked eye.

The purpose of my uncle doing this was naturally to test our eyesight, because no matter how secretly the fire coffin was buried, it was arranged according to the principles of Feng Shui. As long as we master the skills of Feng Shui positioning, we can find the place where the fire coffin is buried. This is a test for us after studying Feng Shui knowledge for many days. If we fail, there will be no in-depth teaching later.

There is still a certain difference when applying theoretical knowledge to practice, because the terrain of any place is not fixed according to the landform of Feng Shui concept. Any slight difference may produce a result that is as different as heaven and earth. We walked carefully into the back village of Longhua Village, which is actually a site behind a slope of earth, where I planted the foundation of my family.

There were green pines and trees, and the scenery was beautiful. Through the gaps between the trees, I could see the three graves of my family. In front of the graves, there was smoke rising, and the offerings were all the same.

It is still the relatives in your own family who are reliable. It is easy to say but not easy to do to offer incense and tributes for so many years.

The area of the woods behind the mountain is not small. It takes at least dozens of minutes to walk from the beginning to the end. It is conceivable how difficult it is to find a coffin buried under the soil in such a large area, but this is a task that must be completed. If you can't do it, don't expect your uncle to teach you carefully in the future.

"Old Yu, this is a very difficult task. The time for us to take the postgraduate entrance examination has finally come." Chu Sen said.

"Yes, but this job is not very difficult if you think about it carefully. The trees in this area are very dense, and it is impossible to bury the coffin under the trees, so a large area is left out. Besides, the cemetery will not face south or east, which means another area is left out. There is not much space left." I pointed to the north side of the woods.
