Chapter 24 The stars in the sky join the Big Dipper
Chang County.
Lin Lu's courtyard.
The old Taoist priest finally asked someone to carry the coffin to Lin Lu's house.
At this time, Lin Lu and his parents were not here yet. They were still at the graveyard on the north slope of Chang County, with their clan elders, busy re-burying the bones of their deceased wife.
At Lin Lu's house, there were already people from the Lin family in advance to take care of everything.
When the white coffin was carried into the yard.
But I saw that several sturdy long wooden benches had been placed in the yard.
Around the long wooden bench, a circle of lime powder has been sprinkled.
At the same time, a Taoist legal case table has been set up.
The things required for the ritual are already prepared on the table.
An incense burner, some incense candles, a jar of Sanyang wine, a few bowls, chicken blood, black dog blood, and cinnabar.
"The earth has earth energy, which can easily store the air of dirty earth, and there is moonlight above the head."
"So the coffin must be placed on a wooden bench with a clear space, and at night a cloth must be pulled to cover the moonlight, so as to prevent the dead person in the coffin from inhaling the smell of dirty earth or the moonlight, so as to prevent death and not rot.
Raising corpses to cause trouble."
"The reason why a layer of lime powder is sprinkled on the ground is because lime powder is a dry substance and can absorb moisture from the earth's veins. The moisture can pass through the corpse's air. It can keep the environment dry and truly isolate the coffin from the outside world."
The old Taoist priest stood behind the Master's desk and spoke eloquently.
Jin An was fascinated by what he heard.
It was like opening the door to another new world for him.
I didn’t expect that there are so many things to pay attention to when moving and lowering a coffin.
He had never been exposed to these before.
At this time, Jin An saw the old Taoist priest picking up the cinnabar ink thread mixed with rooster's blood and black dog's blood, and began to prepare to tie the white coffin again.
Rooster blood, black dog blood, and cinnabar are all yang substances that can ward off evil spirits and suppress corpses.
These novel experiences are unprecedented.
Therefore, after Jin An finished carrying the coffin, he did not leave immediately, but chose to stay to see how the cinnabar ink pipe thread was used to tie the coffin?
"Little brother, can you stand on the other side of the white coffin and help me hold the ink pipe?"
Jin An didn't react at first.
It wasn't until the old Taoist priest looked towards him that he realized that the old Taoist priest was indeed asking him for help.
Jin An agreed and stepped forward to help.
"The techniques used to play the cinnabar ink line are different depending on the sect. For example, the 'Seven Stars Holding the Heaven Kàng Miao Kou' is commonly used in the North."
"There are seven star kings above the head, who always live in the fairy palace in the north of the north. They are Tianshu star king, Tianxuan star king, Tianji star king, Tianquan star king, Yuheng star king, and Kaiyang star king.
Lord Shaking Star. So the seven stars in the North are always the brightest."
“There is an ancient saying that ‘you can tell the north and the south by looking at the Big Dipper at night’, which comes from this.”
"That's why when killing corpses in the North, it's best to use the 'Seven Stars Holding Heaven's Magic Button'."
Jin An suddenly realized.
I hummed involuntarily: "The stars in the sky don't speak, the stars in the sky are participating in the Beidou, coax them to participate in the Beidou."
"?"
The old Taoist priest glanced at Jin An in confusion.
This little brother has a good heart, but his brain seems a bit lacking.
Ordinary people would be frightened when they see the coffin.
He's fine.
How could he be so relaxed in front of the coffin, as if he had no heart or lungs at all?
The old Taoist priest continued to explain: "Another example is that there are many dragon kings in the south of the country spreading water, so there will be heavy moisture, and the moisture will lead to corpse qi. Corpse evil spirits like to hide in dark, moist places with cold and cold qi to practice.
Therefore, the ink fountain thread in the south is best able to rely on the power of fire virtue or the power of golden thunder."
"Such as 'Candle Dragon Button', 'Thunder-shattering Evil Button'."
"Leigang is a pure Yang treasure. There are often rumors among the people that when and where the evil was very powerful, one day suddenly there was a bolt from the blue, and thunder and lightning killed the evil thing."
"As for the northwest, there is no need to use ink pipes and bullets to suppress corpses. Instead, there is a need to build drought bone piles. Where there is evil among the people or there is no rain, the whole village will go out to look for strange corpses and tombs.
, then dig up the graves, dig up the corpses, and burn the zombies. The folk customs in the northwest are the most fierce."
This popular science lesson from an old Taoist priest.
Jin An listened with great interest.
"Listen to what the Taoist priest said, Taoist priest, you have traveled to many places and traveled to many places, right?"
When it comes to this matter.
The old Taoist priest immediately became interested.
In the following time, Jin An listened to the old Taoist priest boasting about his various deeds that thousands of people admired over the decades, while he continued to tie the cinnabar ink thread without any slowness.
The old Taoist priest's spittle flew into the air. He didn't feel dry even after talking for an hour. On the contrary, the more he talked, his face became more and more rosy and he was full of energy.
It seems that when people grow old, they like to tell their younger generations about their youthful deeds.
When the cinnabar ink thread was finally tied, Jin An asked the old Taoist priest, what should be done with the white coffin next?
It won’t always be at Lin Lu’s house, right?
Wouldn’t that scare Lin Lu’s whole family so much that they couldn’t sleep at night?
The old Taoist priest answered Jin An and said that he would spend the next few days to circle around Chang County and use the yin and yang compass in his hand to measure the mountains, rivers and stars in Chang County to see where exactly this white coffin came from.
His good things return to their original owners.
Wherever it comes from, send it there.
Jin An asked what if he couldn't find it?
Maybe the other party is from another county?
If that's the case, Taoist priest, even if you break four legs in Chang County, you still can't find the real source.
"!"
Who are you calling an old dog?
The old Taoist priest was so angry that he blew his beard and glared at Jin'an, saying that if he really couldn't find the source, he would take advantage of these few days of surveying the mountains and rivers of Chang County to pick a piece of land with good Feng Shui so that he could bury the suffering master in the white coffin.
.
From now on, nothing will happen to Jin An.
So Jin An left Lin Lu's house.
Next, Jin An planned to go to the drug store to get "Shengui Dabu Decoction" according to the prescription.
Then go back to the inn.
He already feels that a breakthrough is imminent. If he takes another century-old medicinal decoction tonight, he should be able to break through to the fourth level of the "Blood Knife Sutra".
After walking out of Lin Lu's home, Jin An felt that he would never come here again in the future.
…
Not long after Jin An left Lin Lu's house.
A member of the Lin family hurriedly ran into the yard from the direction of Beipo Cemetery, sweating profusely.
"Daozhang Chen, found it!"
"Found it!"
"The missing bones of my cousin-in-law have finally been found! Daozhang Chen, you really knew what was happening. We indeed found the bones in the woods of Dullhead Mountain!"
…
When Jin Anshi bought the medicinal materials and returned to the inn, he found that the proprietress of the inn, a well-maintained and charming thirty-year-old widow, was standing at the door of the inn with the waiter, trying to block him.
.
In addition to the widow shopkeeper Zhang blocking the door, there were two sisters, one older and one younger, behind her.
It was the Zhang Lingyun sisters who left home with their younger sister to become a monk.
Zhang Lingyun has long and narrow eyes, firm and strong legs, and skin as white as snow. She has been a martial artist since she was a child. She has a heroic appearance and a slim figure. Ms. Zhang Lingyun is still as beautiful today.
It is the most beautiful beauty that a girl next door can grow into.
"Mr. Jin An, we heard that you went to the mass grave on the north slope today to work as a coffin bearer, carrying people's coffins?" Zhang Lingyun spoke to Jin An, her voice was round and clear, clear and beautiful.
