Ghost Blowing Lantern II - Chapter 298 Ghost Hat

After looking inside the house, I found nothing, so I had to look outside. There are billions of nebula, soil and objects, and there are all kinds of wonders in nature. How can I guess it just by looking at the layout of the house? So I had to leave immediately to go to the mountain to have an overview, and I will naturally see the results. At that moment, he asked to go to a higher place to watch. There was a hillside behind Ma’s house. Mr. Hu followed Ma Liuhe and led people up the mountain. When he looked down from a high place, he saw a feng shui treasure land with “beautiful mountains, clear waters, and dancing dragons and phoenixes.”

It is said that after passing this mountain, there is a dark and sedimentary place. It used to be the “City God’s Temple”, also known as the “Silt Temple”, but it was later destroyed by the war. Because there was a “Silt River” in front of the temple, it got this name. It’s because the river is half water and half mud. Regardless of whether it’s a flood or a drought, there is always so much mud in this river. In recent years, the flow of the river has gradually decreased. The river that was originally several feet wide has been divided into several sections by the mud. , only occasionally connect into one piece when the rain is heaviest. The river bed is full of clumps of tangled grass several feet high. Some outsiders who don’t know what’s going on want to drink water and wash their faces by the river when passing by. Without preparation, if they step on In the quagmire under the grass, people often get stuck in the mud and lose their lives. No one can tell how many people have been trapped and died in this “mud river”. However, due to the death of too many people in this river, except for the very narrow section in the middle of the river, the water quality is still acceptable. Most of the rivers are filled with black water all year round, exuding a strong putrid odor.

However, the old site of Yuni Temple was far away from here, and it was not on the same ground as Ma’s house at all. When Ma Liuhe saw that Mr. Jindian Hu had never seen anything famous, he felt even more uneasy, so he asked him how this place was? Is it good or bad? I can’t help but complain that half of the Feng Shui secrets passed down by the master have faded away. It is probably because the previous generations have missed something and only half of the book is left. Otherwise, how could it not be accurate?

In the end, Mr. Hu said helplessly: “It is an extremely valuable Feng Shui treasure land, but why…” He suddenly stopped talking, took a breath of cold air, his face changed color, and he exclaimed: “Sure enough, Dangerous!”

Ma Liuhe was startled by Mr. Hu. He knew that he had probably found out the source of the “violence and evil” in the family, and hurriedly asked: “Why did Mr. Hu say this? Where is the danger?”

Mr. Hu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, “If I hadn’t seen through it, all the men, women, and children in your Ma family would have gone to the underworld to become ghosts.”

Ma Liuhe believed in the theory of Feng Shui to his core. Hearing this, he was even more shocked: “How could our family, this treasured land of Feng Shui, have such a dangerous fortune?”

Mr. Hu pointed to the foot of the mountain and said to Ma Liuhe, “Take a closer look. What does the mountain to the west of Ma’s house look like?” Ma Liuhe looked along his fingers and saw a beautiful and lush mountain peak behind his house. He was used to seeing it and took it for granted, so he didn’t think anything of it. But now when he took a closer look, he exclaimed: “It’s clearly like this.” It’s a hat, this is… the judge’s hat in the play.”

Mr. Hu said that the mountain peak is narrow at the top and broad at the bottom. The two peaks at the top stand opposite each other like cones. The mountain shape shelters the sun and takes the shade, which just covers the horse house. This situation has a common name in Feng Shui and is called “ghost hat”. No wonder Your family has a prosperous business and a lot of money, because this is the way for the judge in front of Senluo Palace to collect money from the underworld. This house of yours is good everywhere. As the underworld? With all due respect, in less than three years, Mr. Ma, your family will be completely wiped out.

Ma Liuhe was so shocked that he grabbed Mr. Hu on the spot and begged: “Sir, you must save my whole family. No matter how much money it costs, just ask.”

Mr. Hu comforted him and said: “Master Ma, there is no need to be afraid and give up this house. Just move your whole family out. It’s not too late to leave now.”

Ma Liuhe couldn’t bear to part with this treasure land for collecting wealth. He rolled his eyes twice and begged Mr. Hu: “Although it costs a lot to build this mansion, there is nothing he can’t bear to part with. It’s just that the ghost hat is obviously a wealth-gathering land.” How can I make it lonely and useless because of its good Feng Shui? I would like to ask sir to help me think of a way to protect our Ma family’s wealth.”

Then Ma Liuhe took out a few more gold bars and asked Mr. Hu to come up with a good idea. When Mr. Hu was studying with his teacher, he already knew an old proverb – “You can talk about the mountains and rivers, but there is no place to eat when you bury the teacher; “Herbs can speak, and doctors have no place to eat.” The theory of Feng Shui should not be overly superstitious, but the ancient sages and sages often talked about “the principle of correspondence between heaven and man.” Sometimes the geography of mountains and rivers does seem to be able to influence good and bad luck, so Hu My husband always believes that Feng Shui is not vain and useless, and he often considers finding a piece of Feng Shui treasure land for himself, so that after a hundred years, he can bring blessings to his family and his descendants.

Unable to stand up to Ma Liuhe’s pleading, Mr. Hu had to agree. In fact, it is not difficult to keep the wealth of “Ghost Hat”. All he needs to do is reverse the yin and yang. Let go of the yang house first, and then hold on to it. The ancestral graves are buried here, and the Ma family’s business will continue to grow and develop.

Ma Liuhe was overjoyed and elated, and the wrinkles on his old face had smoothed out. He even praised Mr. Hu as a master among the “Golden Points” and invited all the famous people in the province. No one could see anything extraordinary about Ma’s house. Although Mr. Hu has a sharp eye, he can see through mysteries at a glance on the mountain. He is really a fairy. Meeting such an expert must be a blessing for our Ma family.

Ma Liuhe did not dare to be indifferent to the prosperity and decline of his family. He immediately invited Mr. Hu to live in the best place in the town, and sent a special person to serve him delicious food and drink. The family moved away from the new house.

It was the anniversary of the death of Mr. Ma, so we chose an auspicious day to dig out the grave. In order to prevent the corpse from mutilating, we also prepared the corresponding Mohist equipment. In the past, people were more superstitious and went out to excavate ancient tombs or move tombs. , are all worried about encountering corpse transformation. In order to restrain the zombies in the coffin, they will bring a carpenter’s ink fountain. The ink fountain and ink rope are used for drawing lines. There is a very common view among the people: “The ink line is sincere and cannot be deceived.” Curvature and straightness.” The ink line can only be drawn in straight lines. It can be said to be the treasure of the ink master. The more years it is used, the more valuable it becomes. The ink line is a symbol of righteousness and straightness. Since ancient times, evil has not suppressed righteousness. Objects such as tungsten workers’ knives, stonemason’s awls, and Mohist’s rulers, ropes, axes, and planers all have similar effects and can suppress evil spirits. Any unexplained explosions and noises in the corners of beams, columns, and various wooden objects in a house are caused by The ink rope is not scraped clean, and over time it turns into the chirping of spirits. Of course, this is all legend and there is no solid basis.

In addition, some copper coins from the Qing Dynasty must be prepared. After digging the grave and finding the coffin, dozens of copper coins must be pressed on the coffin lid, and two stumbling ropes must be set up outside to prevent it from jumping up and breaking the coffin. The copper coins used to weigh down the coffin are also called Qianjin Yiwen. It is said that this can insulate the corpse from electricity. It is also said that the copper coins are official money, and the zombies cannot get up if they are pressed down. Alchemists even believe that the monogram on ancient coins is an official seal and can break the round light. There are different opinions on the legend of this monogram. It is said that in ancient times, there was a master who could make money thousands of miles away without using his bag. Therefore, all wealthy families have to Putting an ingot of old money or ingots with government monograms in the bank is called “guaku”, so that it will not be stolen. Moreover, ancient coins with government monograms can also ward off evil spirits. The older the better, the better.

According to local funeral customs, when carrying the tomb and moving the coffin, you must be most careful about “avoiding the mouth.” This is not a slang term on the green forest road. The ancient tomb is the territory of the deceased. When the living come to find the dead, they must think of some excuse to let them go. I felt at ease, so I added a lot of taboos to myself. “Avoidance” is a verbal taboo. The most taboo words are: “death, corpse, yin, underworld, escape, grave, tomb.” These words are so unlucky that you should try to avoid them when talking. The pronunciation of the word coffin is the same as official wealth, so there is no need to avoid speaking. Mr. Hu is always familiar with all kinds of complicated local customs and rules, and he can give instructions in a systematic way.

Finally, at night, according to the rules, Taoist priests were invited to recite incantations to repose the soul, and the male and female grandchildren burned incense and kowtowed. Then the coffin was lifted out, the spiritual flags were lit to guide the way, and the oxen and white horse-drawn carts carried the coffin containing the body of the old man Ma. The “Ghost Hat” Feng Shui treasure land has been laid to rest.

“Coffin” is the core of the burial matter, because the old society was superstitious about Feng Shui and believed that the earth has good and bad places, and the stars have good and evil stars. If you find a piece of auspicious soil as an ancestral grave to bury the bones of your ancestors, future generations can use it. The Feng Shui Dragon Qi makes fortunes, and the prosperity of the family is nothing more than “being an official and making money.” “Coffin” has the same pronunciation as “Official Wealth”, which is what it means. Therefore, moving the ancestral graves in Yinzhai is a big deal, and the Ma family is quite proud of it. The financial situation alarmed people from all over the country and came to watch the excitement. For a while, the crowd was like a wall.

The original mansion has been basically demolished, and the tomb site has been selected. However, in order to prevent the dragon spirit from taking away the ghost house, the ground was not broken before the coffin was transported. When Mrs. Ma’s coffin was transported to the place, Ma Liuhe immediately People were ordered to dig out the grave soil. Since ancient times, deep burials have been advocated. The deeper the coffin is buried in the ground, the better. Only the graves of the poor are shallow, and they have to be dug up by wild dogs within half a month.

Although the Ma family is rich, they are not aristocrats after all. During the Republic of China, no one built underground chambers anymore. They just had to dig a deep pit for burial. A dozen young men took turns digging. The pit was bigger than a house. The foundation was dug deeper and the eye depth was about to be suitable, but suddenly a stone tablet was dug.

Everyone was surprised. This acupuncture point was pointed out by Mr. Jindian Hu. Why was it that the ground was not auspicious soil but actually rock? Mr. Hu looked at him coldly, feeling strange and inexplicable. He thought that he had made a mistake this time. Why did he click on such a cave without any bias? Afraid that he would make a fool of himself on the spot, he was thinking of finding an opportunity to escape, but when he saw the surface of the Maliu River sinking like water, he walked up to Mr. Hu with a sullen face and asked him to go to the front and see why there were rocks under the hole?

In fact, the meaning of Ma Liuhe couldn’t be more obvious. His house was demolished and his ancestral grave was dug up, but rocks were found in the tomb. Naturally, he suspected that Mr. Hu was a charlatan. He pretended to be familiar with the officialdom and was used to being domineering. , killing ordinary people was not a big deal, and they wanted to bury Mr. Hu alive in a pit.

Mr. Hu regretted it so much. He had known it was like this. He used to propagate whatever hexagram was and it was good to herd sheep for the landlord’s family. Now he is buried alive and has no choice but to accept his fate. Under the pressure of everyone, they walked to the grave with a sullen face, thinking constantly in their minds – how to tell a big lie to save their lives.

But I can’t do anything at the last minute, so what can I do? When he was at his wits end, he heard several long-term workers digging the hole yelling that there were writings on the excavated stone, which seemed to be a stone tablet. Ma Liuhe quickly asked people to dig up the stone tablet.

There were many people and the work was done quickly. In just a moment, the stone tablet was moved to the outside of the grave pit. When everyone touched the soil and took a look, they saw six large characters engraved on the tablet. At that time, many people gathered around to watch. People who can read and decipher Duo Neng recognized it, and everyone chanted: “It’s auspicious to live here…to be buried here.”

Ma Liuhe pushed aside the crowd and looked at it several times. He was so shocked that he couldn’t close his mouth for a long time. He knelt down to Mr. Hu with a bang and kowtowed in thanks: “Sir, you are really a magician! I, Ma Liuhe, am completely convinced today.” Take it orally!”

Mr. Hu originally thought that he would be buried alive on the spot to fill the hole, but he did not expect to encounter such a surprise. No one had ever built a Yin and Yang house here, and what was buried in the soil must be ancient relics. He never expected that it would come true, and he was stunned. It took me a while to come back to my senses, and I realized that the “Sixteen-Character Yin-Yang Feng Shui Secret Technique” had something to say, and it was not comparable to ordinary tricks.

At that time, there were a huge crowd of onlookers, and everyone treated Mr. Hu as a semi-immortal, just like the stars holding the moon. Mr. Hu felt elated and secretly happy in his heart, but he did not dare to show it easily on the surface, and only picked up some remarks to support him. At that time, the host presided over the burial of Mrs. Ma in the coffin. When he returned home, he received a lot of money and silk as a thank you gift.

After that, Mr. Hu’s reputation spread far and wide. When anyone mentioned Mr. Hu’s golden point, everyone would give him a thumbs up and praise him as “the golden finger of magic”. However, the big tree attracts wind, and gradually many thieves are eyeing the Hu family and want to kidnap him. Go find dragon veins and rob tombs.

Mr. Hu’s ego had been inflated for a while, and he had to restrain himself when he saw groups of thieves and thieves constantly coming to his door. He would do whatever he had to do, and he would avoid it when he could. But he knew that he could “escape better than the first day of the Lunar New Year”. “It’s only fifteen years old.” If you stay in the city “making fortunes”, sooner or later you will get into big trouble. It doesn’t matter if you lose your head. Who will support your wife and children at home?

So Mr. Hu got involved in gold and silver, and ran away with his family. He was not from Hunan, so he left as soon as he said it, without any worries. Two years later, the times were difficult, and money was a little tight, so he remembered that he still had a box of ” The secret of “Yuan Datou” is buried by the Dongting Lake. It was prepared for emergency use when the family was wealthy. I was in a hurry and didn’t have time to take it with me. Now I need it urgently, so I put on makeup and disguised myself as a merchant and went back to get the money. .

Mr. Hu was cautious and avoided people’s eyes at all times. He was also familiar with the road, so he easily retrieved the money box without any effort. When he was about to take the money home, he suddenly remembered that Ma Liuhe was coming, and thought that he would give it to him that year. The Prime Minister has taken the “Ghost Hat” Yin Cai vein, and the Ma family must be more prosperous now. Why not go and talk about it, maybe you can get some more benefits.

He made up his mind and took a detour to find Ma Liuhe. Unexpectedly, he was stunned as soon as he arrived. Everyone in the Ma family was dead, and even Mr. Ma’s grave was dug up by thieves. Mr. Hu felt that this incident was unexpected. , I couldn’t help but mutter in my heart: “Is it because I am not accurate about the origin of the earth, and I actually harmed the entire Ma Liuhe family?” But then I thought: “That’s not possible. The ancient stone tablet excavated from the tomb clearly says that I lived here. Jue, the auspicious burial shows that the ancients have long recognized this geomantic treasure, and it’s not like someone has tampered with it, so how could there be a mistake?”

Mr. Hu was full of doubts. This matter was related to the lives of dozens of people in a large family. He couldn’t sleep well at home if he didn’t find out. He immediately tried to get a “tongue leakage” nearby and finally found out what happened. The result was even more… It was beyond his expectation.

It turned out that Ma Liuhe’s family had affected the Yin and Yang two houses, and the business was indeed more prosperous. The business was going smoothly, and money was flowing into the treasury. However, something unexpected happened, and one day, the well at home was poured into water. Poison, dozens of people died in one dose. Although the family was rich, so many people died that they couldn’t even buy coffins in a hurry.

Ma Liuhe cursed Mr. Hu as a magician. This hat was still on the heads of the Ma family and could not be taken off. He angrily led people to the city to destroy Mr. Hu’s shop. At that time, Xiangdi’s Mr. Jindian Hu has disappeared.

He searched all over the Maliu River to no avail, so he had to go back home. He took a boat back from the lake by water. Unexpectedly, a storm arose on the way and the boat sank. The whole group of people fed the arowana aquarium, and not a single one of them was left. To survive, the whole Ma Liuhenuo family died completely.

There were frequent wars at that time, and Mr. Ma’s tomb was a new tomb, which was equivalent to a pile of gold and silver placed on the surface. After the large band of thieves in Xiangyin dispersed, many people became scattered thieves on the spot, including No. 100. People rushed over with weapons, blatantly dug up the grave, and plundered all the things that Mr. Ma was buried with.

At that time, the trend of lavish burials had declined, but it was still popular to put money in the mouth of the dead, with silver and copper coins in their mouths. The Ma family was very wealthy, so there were indeed some luxurious and solid things in the coffin. Needless to say, the clothes of the dead body, alone The red jade mouthpiece of the pipe was worth hundreds of dollars. In the end, even the few gold teeth embedded in Mr. Ma’s mouth were pulled out, and then the coffin was smashed and the corpse was driven away. The condition was indescribably miserable.

Later, several smaller groups of civilian thieves and some nearby mountain people came to “filter the pit”. The grave pit was dug bigger and bigger, and a stone tablet was exposed in the untouched soil underneath. Those good people , have all come to see it, and saw that on the newly unearthed tablet, there were also six characters – “The righteous will be lucky, the unjust will be ruined.”
