Chapter 143: Feng Shui Treasures Burial the Patriarch
After Li Daoran paid his respects, he took off his clothes and spread them on the ground, and then began to carefully take out the bones from the sarcophagus and place them on top.
Ye Ming said: "Master Tao, why don't you let your ancestor stay here for a few days? Later, I will provide a good coffin and invite three troupes, and we can bury him in a glorious way."
Li Daoran shook his head and said: "No need, Ziyang Clan doesn't pay that much attention. I will just choose a geomantic treasure place for the ancestor to bury him later."
Taoists value spontaneity and do not care whether they lie in a luxurious coffin or are buried in a straw mat after death.
Ye Ming stopped persuading and helped Li Daoran pick out all the bones.
Perhaps over the years, the bones were weathered and broken, and a sharp broken bone pricked Ye Ming's finger.
"hiss!"
Ye Ming hurriedly took back his hand and squeezed out the blood from the punctured area.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Li Daoran turned his head and asked.
Ye Ming shook the blood squeezed out of his finger and said, "It's okay, just prick it."
Li Daoran didn't take it to heart and continued to pick up the remains of his ancestor.
Neither of them noticed that the drop of blood Ye Ming threw fell on a white bone and was absorbed in the blink of an eye.
After the restraint was completed, Li Daoran wrapped the remains, and the two of them worked together to transport them out through the narrow entrance.
Standing on the top of Cuiwei Mountain, Li Daoran held a compass in his hand, pinched his fingers with his left hand, and muttered something, and quickly found a place with good Feng Shui.
"This is it!"
Li Daoran inserted a branch into the ground and drew a square with it as the center. Ye Ming picked up the shovel and started digging.
There is a lot of gravel on the mountain, so even an excavator, let alone a shovel, will take a lot of effort.
But after Ye Ming dug out the top layer of gravel, he found soft and fertile land underneath. It felt warm but not wet when he held his hand. It would be absolutely comfortable for a dead person to be buried here.
"Master Tao, I really didn't realize that you have no ability to subdue demons, and you are not worthy of Feng Shui!"
Li Daoran was very proud of himself. This was his ability to eat. Could it be any worse?
"Lao Ye, if you like this place, I'll let it go to you. I'll find a place for Grandmaster later."
After the business was done, the two of them started bickering, and Ye Ming responded unambiguously: "Don't, your ancestor will be angry later, and I'll be in trouble if I take you away!"
The two of them were joking with each other, and soon dug a deep pit two meters square.
"Master Patriarch, please rest in peace, I will definitely carry forward our Ziyang Clan!"
Li Daoran bowed to the bones, and then he and Ye Ming carried the bones in clothes one by one and placed them in the pit, then filled the pit with a shovel and raised the tip.
Li Daoran repaired the tomb, got a log, flattened one side with a shovel, and carved the words "Tomb of the 16th generation head of Ziyang Clan" on it.
After finishing this, the sun had already set in the west. The two of them patted the dust on their bodies and walked down the mountain with their hoes on their shoulders.
The evening breeze was blowing and the crows were returning to the forest. Li Daoran was walking on the third road carefree and could not help but hum a Taoist song.
There was a chirping sound in the woods, and a strange black shadow jumped out.
Li Daoran was caught off guard. He was so frightened that he slipped and fell, causing an old lady to crawl under the bed.
"There is a wild beast! Lao Ye, hurry up and save Mr. Dao!"
Ye Ming did not move, holding the shovel and looking at Li Daoran's panic, as if he was looking at a fool.
"Master Dao, it's time for you to wear a pair of glasses. You can't see clearly before it gets dark!"
Li Daoran looked carefully and saw that the strange black shadow was not a beast in the mountains, but a monkey riding a dog.
These two were put together, and the sky was a bit dark, so Li Daoran didn't see clearly and thought it was some kind of mutated monster.
"Oh my god, this is the first time I've seen a monkey riding a dog. I was scared to death!"
Li Daoran was greatly embarrassed, and with a red face, he looked for the steps to go down.
Ye Ming asked Xiaohui and Fugui: "Where did you two go crazy?"
Fugui glanced at Xiao Hui, who squeaked and gestured with his hands.
"Have you gone on a mountain patrol? Did you find anything unusual?"
After Xiao Hui and Fugui helped clean up the rat infestation on the mountain, they were responsible for patrolling the mountain to protect the medicinal fields and continued to clean up some idle rats.
Xiao Hui held out two fingers to show that he had killed two mice in one day.
Ye Ming nodded with satisfaction. The rats in the mountains will definitely not become extinct. After all, Cuiwei Mountain has its own ecological circle. The death of rats is not a good thing, as long as those rats do not continue to harm the medicine fields.
Li Daoran, who was sitting on the ground, was shocked when he saw Ye Ming asking questions and the gray-haired monkey answering with gesticulations.
"Is this monkey aware of human nature?"
Ye Ming smiled and said: "Don't look at Xiao Hui as a monkey. His IQ is not comparable to that of ordinary people. He just can't speak. If he could speak, you would still count the money after selling it to you!"
Although Ye Ming said it as a joke, Li Daoran didn't take it as a joke, because he saw the golden hoop on Xiao Hui's head, and that monkey was the monkey mentioned in the letter from the ancestor!
A monkey that has lived for hundreds of years will definitely not have a low IQ. If it can really talk, it would be easy to sell itself.
Li Daoran suddenly thought of something, quickly stood up, patted the dust, and bowed his hands to Xiao Hui respectfully.
"My junior, Li Daoran, the thirty-sixth generation head of the Ziyang Sect, Daoist Master Dongxu, has met my senior!"
Xiao Hui turned to look at Li Daoran with a scornful expression, but nodded slightly, accepting his greeting.
Ye Ming suddenly raised his eyebrows, thinking that Master Dao was usually aloof, but his etiquette was comprehensive.
With a roll of his eyes, Ye Ming started to have a prank in his heart.
"Master Dao, Xiao Hui is your elder, and I am Xiao Hui's master. Does that mean that I am also your elder? If you bow to him, you must bow to me anyway, right?"
Li Daoran rolled his eyes at Ye Ming: "Bless you? I'm afraid you can't afford it!"
Ye Ming grinned and said: "I can afford it! I can afford it! Please worship me now!"
"I beg you, right? Okay! Just stand still and don't move!"
Li Daoran was also unambiguous. He cupped his fists with both hands and bowed to Ye Ming. Then he knelt down with his left leg forward and his right leg while still shouting.
"One kowtow! Two kowtow! Three..."
Ye Ming was shocked, and then jumped to the side and shouted: "Okay! Okay! Are you paying homage to me? You are trying to send me away!"
As he spoke, he ran down the mountain.
Li Daoran shouted: "Don't run away. I haven't finished worshiping you yet. I have to send you away today! Kowtow three times and your family members will respond!"
Fugui on the side blinked and nodded to Li Daoran in a cooperative manner.
Fortunately, Ye Ming was not here. If he saw it, he would definitely kick this silly dog away.
Ye Ming fled, and Li Daoran stood up proudly, patted the dust on his knees, and walked down the mountain with an expression of victory.
When I walked to the village, I saw Ye Ming standing motionless on the street.
"Lao Ye, what are you doing here?"
Li Daoran walked closer, followed Ye Ming's gaze, and saw a house full of wreaths at the door.
"Whose family has a death here? Send so many wreaths, there are so many relatives and friends!"
Ye Ming's mouth twitched and he gritted his teeth and said, "This is my home!"
Brothers add bookshelf, I am here to thank you for your support!
One kowtow! Two kowtows! Three kowtows... This chapter has been completed!
