  Cha Wenbin put on gloves and started cleaning up the remains. The tangled clothes and silk fabrics were all to be taken out, except for the skeleton and well-preserved burial objects, everything else was cleaned up together. This job was a meticulous one, after the person had rotted away, the bones would fall apart, the bones that were taken out had to be placed on a white cloth on the ground in their original shape, still in human form.

  The order of taking out the bones is head, chest, upper limbs and lower limbs. The scattered small bones are put back where they were taken from, and the objects stuck on them should be brushed away with a brush. The bones of the two old men in the Kong family are all yellowish-brown, which is considered standard golden bones. These bones have no problem and can be completely relocated.

  Cha Wenbin spent about an hour cleaning up all of this, and then swept the original coffin clean. At this point, they had to lift the two coffins out of the ground completely. After lifting them, they dug down another three feet deep, and these soils would be taken away together, to be laid on the ground inside the new tomb later.

  After a person dies, there will be fluid leakage, and at that time, it will also flow into the soil, so this soil is also called blood soil, which contains part of the body of the deceased. Otherwise, if you rashly push the coffin in, it would mean letting the immortal's body be buried incompletely, which is also a great disrespect.

  After finishing all this, the remaining stocks were put back in their original order, covered with a new silk quilt, and some burial objects were also placed in the coffin. It's relatively simple here. It's just to let relatives take a last look, and say whatever they want to say now.

  Next is the second sealing of the coffin, Cha Wenbin holds an axe with the blade facing up. Note that when sealing a coffin, you must use an axe and cannot use a hammer. As for why, it's probably because in the past, our carpenters' craftsmanship was high, and one axe could chop, cut, and pound.

  You must also remember that when holding the axe, this coffin can only be knocked five times, namely front and back, left and right, and then return to the front to knock the last one. The order must be like this. If you knock randomly, the owner of the house will scold you if they see it. Funeral traditions in rural areas are particularly particular, and every dynasty has to follow these rules.

  First, they sealed the old man's house. Cha Wenbin took an axe and shouted: "With a golden axe in hand, we seal the nails, bright and clear in all directions; The Vermilion Bird and the Dark Warrior come to pay their respects, the Blue Dragon and the White Tiger line up on both sides!"

  "Bang" went the sound, as the axe head came crashing down onto the coffin lid. "One nail brings wealth and prosperity!" he shouted. Changing positions, he struck again, shouting: "Two nails bring good fortune from heaven!" Then came "Three nails for three times the success, four nails for a hall full of children and grandchildren!" Finally, with one last swing, he shouted: "Five nails for generations of descendants to become rich and prosperous!"

  These are the rhymes for sealing the coffin. The first one is to bring good luck to the host, and the second one is that before moving the grave, it was considered a joyful event rather than a funeral.

  Next, it was the turn of Old Lady Kong. Cha Wenbin followed the same procedure, but this time he used a different incantation: "One envelope for heavenly blessings, two envelopes for earthly peace and security, three envelopes for longevity, four envelopes for the elimination of evil spirits, five envelopes for prosperity and glory for generations to come!"

  So, the two coffins were all sealed up, and Cha Wenbin turned around to look for Bai Qianli again. What happened next depended on what he did. If he had to come back, then with his personality, he would definitely have to figure out the pattern of the grave. However, after searching around the surrounding area, Bai Qianli was nowhere to be found. Earlier, everyone's attention was focused on the grave relocation, and no one noticed the black-headed monk. Ye Qiu also disappeared along with him. When asked, Pangzi said he hadn't paid attention either, as they were all watching the commotion earlier, and who knew where that kid had run off to.

  This thing has gotten embarrassing, the person is gone, can only be found. After searching around, the Kong family downstairs also sent someone to look for him, but they all said they hadn't seen that person. They searched and shouted, but Mr. Kong could only stare at Cha Wenbin helplessly.

  Thinking about it, something still doesn't feel right. Cha Wenbin pulled Kong Lao Da aside and asked: "How did you know that Mr., how did you invite him over, and what did he say to you?"

  Mr. Kong told Cha Wenbin about his past experiences, saying that if it weren't for that person's guidance, he might still be begging on the streets somewhere. After listening, Cha Wenbin made some judgments about that person: Firstly, when fortune-telling for Mr. Kong, he must have been talking nonsense; Secondly, this person has some skills, but his methods are evil and too aggressive; Thirdly, he suspected that Bai Qianli was intentional.

  At this time, Ye Qiu appeared again from nowhere, and he always had a frosty face. He walked straight through the crowd and whispered a few words in Cha Wenbin's ear. After listening, Cha Wenbin frowned several times.

  Originally, Ye Qiu had already exchanged greetings with them early in the morning when he felt that Cha Wenbin was not quite right. Ye Qiu's attention was completely focused on Bai Qianli. When Cha Wenbin was arranging the groundbreaking ceremony, taking advantage of the shift in attention on site, Ye Qiu saw Bai Qianli and quietly retreated backwards. Afraid of startling the snake by hitting the grass, Ye Qiu waited for a while before following up. With Ye Qiu's skills, it would be impossible to lose an ordinary person, but unexpectedly, the black-headed monk's footsteps were very fast. By the time Ye Qiu followed him, he had already disappeared from view before reaching the village entrance.

  That's what happened, he clearly asked himself to come and help, but threw the mess to himself. Is it that he was afraid of being found out by Zhang Wenbin that his feng shui layout had problems, just afraid of losing face? If so, since Kong Lao Da knew him and paid for him to come back, there's no reason to put Kong Lao Da in a difficult position.

  Now, Cha Wenbin had no choice but to speak the truth. Seeing that there were quite a few people present tonight, he cleared his throat and said: "Everyone listen to me, all seniors, uncles, aunts, elder brothers and sisters. The gentleman invited by Mr. Kong probably left early because of something urgent. I have something to say here, because this grave was not chosen by me, I'm afraid that if the Kong family encounters any difficulties in the future, they will blame it on me."

  As soon as he said this, others' hearts skipped a beat, especially Kong Lao Da, whose face immediately fell, wondering if something had happened here?

  "Big nephew, don't be shy, these are all familiar people, speak directly."

  "I'll tell you this, the orientation of this grave is not right. If it's buried like this, I won't guarantee anything else, but at least our ancestors will not bless us. As for whether there will be trouble or not, that depends on the future. The direction of this tomb door should be facing northwest by a few degrees, towards the Qian position, which is at least auspicious. However, since you've already had a master inspect it, I'm just coincidentally here to help and remind you, so it's up to you, Master Kong, to decide what to do."

  This result was something that Lao Da Kong had never expected, and it was also something that no one present had expected. Just then, the fat man's mouth was owed, and he sneered at Lao Da Kong: "Fat master saw at a glance that he was a Jianghu mixed element, you old man didn't know what to do, must have been deceived by someone with clever words and lost money, haha..."

  Kong Lao Da's old face turned completely green, and for a moment he was at a loss. He rushed towards the two coffins, hugged them and wailed loudly: "Father! Mother! What have I done?! You two elders, please reveal to me what I should do!"

  Others also said that if you don't, young man, you should think of a way to do it thoroughly. In fact, the process that Zha Wenbin went through just now made everyone present convinced, especially some elderly people who are familiar with these rules and etiquette, which are rarely understood by people nowadays. What Zha Wenbin did was very proper and flawless, and many people started thinking that if something happened at home in the future, they would go to this young man to handle it.

  Kong Lao Da, who was helped up by others, cried and asked cautiously to Cha Wenbin: "Big nephew, what do you think we should do about this matter?"

  Cha Wenbin made a field survey and found that the tomb would take several days to change. The coffin was out of the ground and could not be exposed to light, so the only solution now is to find a place to put it away.

  "Alright, you find a place to put the coffin for now, remember to cover it with black cloth and use long wooden benches to support it. The legs of the benches should be placed in basins filled with water, so the coffin won't be considered as having been buried twice and it'll be fine even if it takes a few days. I'll tell you the locations that need to be changed later, you can find someone to work on it, after it's done, I'll come back and everything will be fine for the burial."

  Kan Lao Da was also grateful and quietly took out another handful of money, but this time Zhang Wenbin really refused, and even gave the fat man a white eye. This person attaches less importance to wealth, and it's only natural for a Taoist to collect incense money when doing things, but he felt that giving once was enough, and this time he was determined not to want any more.

  But where to put the coffins? Old Kong was in a dilemma, these two things, although they were his parents inside, could not be taken back home. In the past, there were charity houses, but now such places no longer existed. After some thought, he realized that there were only two suitable places for the coffins in the entire Hong Village: the large temple and the assembly hall!

  The temple was rejected by Zhang Wenbin as soon as it was mentioned, that place is eerie and many people in Hongcun still remember the incident from a few years ago, which also involved this young man. Because of that, until now, no one dares to pass by the temple after sunset, and children are repeatedly warned not to play there on ordinary days.

  And another place, the village hall, is a collective thing of the village. It has been empty for so many years, and it's just like that if you say it's abandoned. I guess Old Kong would come out and greet the branch secretary, at most it would be a matter of one cigarette.

  "Alright, let's put it in the Grand Hall for now. My younger brothers have worked hard, and I, Old Kong, will definitely not disappoint everyone." As he spoke, he scattered incense while sending someone to deliver the coffin down the mountain...
