Although there are dark clouds and gloomy weather today, fortunately, the spring rain that has been falling for several days has temporarily stopped, and my body that was about to get moldy finally felt dry for a rare moment.
Jiangzhou Prefecture.
Yongle Square in the southwest corner.
The old Taoist priest, holding the goat in his hand, stood in front of a coffin shop that was deserted by passers-by, and was a little dumbfounded.
There is a bright black plaque hanging on the coffin floor, with a vertical crack in the middle of the plaque.
Yongle Coffin Shop.
"Little brother, didn't you say you wanted to open a Wu Zang Taoist temple in Jiangzhou Prefecture? Why did you find a Mingdian coffin shop? Little brother, don't you want to tear down the Mingdian and open a Taoist temple instead?"
The old Taoist priest said and really thought about it seriously: "It's not impossible. A place like the Coffin Shop has a strong yin energy, which will affect the daily life of living people in the world over time. If a Taoist temple is rebuilt on the old site of the Coffin Shop, this place will be suppressed.
Yin energy is also a meritorious deed."
Unexpectedly, Jin An shook his head and said: "No, I want to buy this coffin shop, and then buy the house opposite the coffin shop, and imitate the layout of Wu Zang Taoist Temple and Uncle Lin's coffin shop... If Uncle Master really
If you return to Jiangzhou Mansion, you will definitely attract the attention of your uncle."
This is called double insurance.
He tried his best to attract Master Yuyangzi's attention.
After the old Taoist priest heard Jin An's explanation, he was slightly startled, then nodded in agreement, and praised Jin An for his thorough consideration.
The owner of the coffin shop is a young man in his early twenties. It is hard to imagine that someone would guard coffins at such a young age and deal with something as unlucky and sinister as a ghost shop.
If the Yin energy of a living person enters the body too much, bad luck will come one after another. If a man does not lift, and if a woman is cold and infertile, it is considered a minor problem. But if you deal with the dead a lot, the Yang energy will be weak, and it is easy to attract unclean things.
Just like the young coffin shop owner in front of me, even ordinary people can see that his hall is darkened, that he is completely lost and in a trance, and he cannot escape the eyes of Jin An and the old Taoist priest.
When Jin An came to the door and told the purpose of his visit, he said that someone had told him that there was a coffin shop for sale here and that he was here to buy a coffin shop. When the other party heard that someone had actually taken over his coffin shop, his expression suddenly changed to despair.
Excited, his eyes regained focus. He didn't even need to bargain with Jin An, but sold them to Jin An at the lowest price. There were also a lot of incense candles, paper money, seven or eight coffins and other stored goods in the coffin shop, which were all given to Jin An for free.
This is equivalent to half selling and half giving, and Jin An takes a big advantage.
But when Jin An paid the money and went to the Yamen to seal and hand over the land title, the owner of the coffin shop showed an expression of relief, as if he had finally gotten rid of a hot potato, and it was up to him who would take advantage.
As soon as the handover was completed, the owner of the coffin shop did not even go to the store, but left on the spot, wishing he had never been to Yong'anfang in his life.
"Boss Liu, can I ask you something? You are so young, why don't you run other businesses, but open a coffin shop? I have no ill intentions, I am just curious that ordinary people are very taboo about places like coffin shops, and it is too late to hide away.
How could Boss Liu think of making a living from a coffin shop at such a young age?" The Boss Liu mentioned by Jin An is the owner of the coffin shop.
It should be said that from now on he will be called the new boss of the coffin shop.
Liu Tao saw that Jin An and the old Taoist priest were both Taoist priests wearing Taoist robes. He did not dare to be disrespectful and quickly answered: "To be honest with Taoist Jin An and Taoist Chen, I don't want to take over that coffin shop. I really have no choice. The original owner of the coffin shop is
The boss and my father are old acquaintances, they are fellow villagers who came from the same village. Because the money they owed our family could not be paid, they mortgaged the coffin shop to our family."
"My father saw that the other party did not pay for it. Although the coffin shop is unlucky, it is still worth some money. I had no choice but to admit that I was unlucky and agreed to use the coffin shop to pay off the debt."
"After taking over the coffin shop, there must be someone to guard the shop and open it for business. Otherwise, it will remain idle and never make back the money lost. So I took over the coffin shop from my father and started running the coffin shop."
The other party absentmindedly chatted with Jin An for a few more words, then turned around and left in a hurry.
Seeing Liu Tao's back quickly disappearing into the crowd of people on the street, the old Taoist priest frowned: "Little brother, when that person talked to us, his eyes dodged and he didn't dare to look at the person talking. He was afraid that there was something wrong in his heart and he didn't tell us the truth.
"
In fact, Jin An also saw that Liu Tao did not tell the whole truth frankly, nodded slightly and said: "The coffin shop is cold and cold, and it is a hot potato for ordinary people. In order to sell the coffin shop as soon as possible, he will definitely not tell us
to be honest."
The old Taoist priest looked at Jin An: "As long as you know what's going on, little brother, I will follow you, little brother. Wherever you go, I will go."
Now that he has a coffin shop, it will be much easier to choose a location for the Taoist temple. Before Jin An bought the coffin shop, he had already negotiated prices with several residents across from the coffin shop and bought the house at the normal market price, so he
Simply go to the local government office to report and apply for a construction concept.
And because he had a letter of introduction from the Governor of Wuzhou Prefecture and had met with the Governor of Jiangzhou Prefecture before, Jin'an's application to build a Taoist temple in Jiangzhou Prefecture went smoothly, and the work efficiency was surprisingly high.
In the next few days, Jin An and the old Taoist priest were very busy, contacting people everywhere, looking for masons and carpenters, and communicating how to build a Taoist temple. It took several days of busy work to finally prepare all the bricks, sand, stones, masons, and carpenters.
After everything was ready, an auspicious day was chosen to start construction, which also made Yongle Square lively, which had not been lively for a long time.
"Little brother, I see that the plaque on the coffin pavement is cracked. It's time for the carpenter to help us build a new plaque." The old Taoist priest's suggestion was accepted by Jin'an.
After buying the coffin shop and starting the construction of the Taoist temple, everything went smoothly without any mistakes. However, the problem happened with the cracked plaque on the coffin shop.
The next day.
The masons and carpenters came to work early in the morning, only to find that the burned plaque reappeared on the door frame of the coffin shop.
