Maoshan World: The young marshal starts!

Chapter 14 Relocation and Burial
The next day is auspicious, suitable for moving the burial, opening the coffin, and carrying off the funeral procession. Everything will be auspicious.

On the hill outside Renjia Town, there were shadowy figures moving around. Today was the day when the coffin of the old man of the Ren family was moved for burial.

“Swish! Swish! Swish!——”

In front of the grave, an incense table covered with yellow cloth was set up. Uncle Jiu, dressed in a yellow Taoist robe, danced with a peach wood sword in his hand, stepped on the Big Dipper and chanted the secret of rebirth.
This is how the ritual ended.

"Groundbreaking."

"Yes."

boom--!
Finally, with Uncle Jiu's order, the strong men who had been waiting for a long time came forward to dismantle the monument and start digging.

Uncle Jiu also had a chance to rest, drink a sip of tea, and walk around the tomb to check it out.

Ren Fa saw this and walked up to Uncle Jiu and said with a smile.

"Uncle Jiu, the Feng Shui master said that this acupuncture point is a good acupuncture point."

"Yes, this is indeed a good acupuncture point. If I'm not mistaken, this is a dragonfly-touching acupuncture point."

Uncle Jiu nodded and started chatting with Ren Fa.

Guan Shaoqing and Ren Tingting were also standing in the crowd at the back.

"Cousin, are you thirsty? Drink some water."

When Ren Tingting saw the ritual was over, she handed a bottle of water to Guan Shaoqing, then took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat off Guan Shaoqing's non-existent forehead. Her caring and intimate behavior was so caring that people would believe she was a newlywed.

"Thank you, cousin."

Guan Shaoqing also took the water bottle with a smile and took a sip, then walked towards where Uncle Jiu and Uncle Ren Fa were. Ren Tingting immediately followed Guan Shaoqing, just like a husband and wife following each other.

Awei, who had been hiding in the crowd and secretly watching Guan Shaoqing and Ren Tingting, felt so heartbroken that he couldn't breathe when he saw this scene. He didn't understand. He and his cousin were childhood sweethearts and grew up together, so why did his cousin like Guan Shaoqing so much as soon as he arrived?

Even at this moment, Awei felt that he shouldn't be here.

In fact, Guan Shaoqing had already sensed Awei's gaze a long time ago. After all, with his current cultivation as a martial arts master, his perception was so sharp that it was no wonder that he could not sense other people's gazes.

However, Guan Shaoqing did not take it to heart. He took Ren Tingting and went over to Uncle Jiu and Uncle Ren Fa to talk to them.

"Uncle Jiu, what is the Dragonfly Water Point?"

"The so-called dragonfly touching the water is a kind of cemetery. It means a dragonfly touching the water, taking care of both ends, and hoping that the descendants will have everything they want and everything will go smoothly."

Uncle Jiu explained.

"The dragonfly-dipped-water burial site is 34 feet long, but only 4 feet are usable. It is 13 feet wide, but only 3 feet are usable. Therefore, the coffin cannot be buried flat, only in a traditional way."

"Master, what is a French funeral? Is it a French funeral?"

At this time, Wencai, who was following Uncle Jiu, couldn't help but ask like a curious baby.

When Uncle Jiu heard this, his face instantly turned dark and he couldn't help but glare at Wencai in annoyance. It was so embarrassing to say this.

"I told you to study hard, but you just slack off and sleep."

"The so-called legal burial should be burial in an upright position. I wonder if my guess is correct."

Guan Shaoqing continued.

After hearing what Guan Shaoqing said, Uncle Jiu's expression immediately eased a lot. He looked at Guan Shaoqing with satisfaction and nodded.

"Shaoqing is right. The so-called legal burial means burying the deceased in an upright position. As the saying goes, if our ancestors were buried upright, our descendants will surely be great."

After saying that, Uncle Jiu couldn't help but glared at Wencai in annoyance, then looked at Guan Shaoqing, feeling that this guy was really infuriating. Compared with Guan Shaoqing, Uncle Jiu felt that his apprentice was simply a disgrace, and the more he looked at him, the more he disliked him.

"Uncle Jiu, that's amazing!"

Upon hearing this, Ren Fa couldn't help but give Uncle Jiu a thumbs up, because what Uncle Jiu said was almost exactly the same as what the Feng Shui master said back then. This undoubtedly proved Uncle Jiu's ability and he was definitely not one of those swindlers.

"Does it work?"

Upon hearing this, Uncle Jiu changed the subject and asked Ren Fa.

"This"

When Ren Fa heard what Uncle Jiu said, the smile on his face disappeared.

"To be honest, Uncle Jiu, my family's business has been declining year by year over the past few years. With the Shaoqing family's support, no one dares to cause trouble for us. Business should be getting better and better, but the opposite is happening. I suspect there's something wrong with the feng shui of my father's grave. The feng shui master also told me to exhume and rebury my father after twenty years."

"I think that Feng Shui master has a grudge against your Ren family."

When Uncle Jiu heard this, he walked over to the uncovered soil covering the tomb.

"A dragonfly skims the water, how can you sprinkle lime on it? A good feng shui situation has been turned into a situation of financial ruin."

"Then what should Uncle Jiu spread if not lime?"

Ren Fa's face suddenly changed drastically when he heard this. This lime was the one that the Feng Shui master asked them to spread.

"It should be covered with snow, isn't that just like a dragonfly skimming the water? Once the lime is sprinkled, the head of the coffin won't touch the water, so how can it be called a dragonfly skimming the water? Does your Ren family have a grudge against that Feng Shui master?"

When Uncle Jiu said this, he couldn't help but look at Ren Fa and asked, because if there was no grudge, then the Feng Shui master should not have done so much harm to others.

"To be honest, this piece of land originally belonged to a Feng Shui master. My father heard it was a good place for a burial, so he bought it for a large sum of money." "It was only bribery, no coercion?"

"This, haha."

Ren Fa smiled awkwardly, saying everything without saying a word.

"I think there must be one, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to harm you."

Uncle Jiu was annoyed when he heard this. How could he not understand the behavior of the gentry of the Ren family? Once they set their eyes on something, not to mention using threats, there were even people who killed people directly. The Ren family was considered conscientious gentry for only forcing people to buy it with money.

This is also the reason why Uncle Jiu has a good impression of the Ren family. As a wealthy and powerful family, although the Ren family is not a good family, they are not too bad either. They have a certain bottom line and at least they will not kill for money.

"That Feng Shui master still has some conscience. He harmed you for half your life but not for the rest. He even reminded you to move your coffin and bury it in twenty years."

Ren Fa's expression changed again when he heard this.

Guan Shaoqing, who was standing by, did not comment on what Uncle Jiu said. He felt that the Feng Shui master might not have good intentions, and it was possible that this was part of his plan.

However, although he had such a guess in his mind, Guan Shaoqing did not express his opinion out loud in the absence of any evidence.

"Dig it!"

At this time, only the shouts of the gravediggers were heard.

Ren Feiyong's coffin was dug up, and then the servants who were digging the grave used ropes to pull the coffin out of the soil and placed it on the ground.

As the coffin was dug out, everyone present couldn't help but look at the coffin. Uncle Jiu walked to the front of the coffin and then said to everyone.

"Today is the day when Ren Gong Feiyong will see the light of day again. Anyone born in the year of the Rooster, Ox, or Sheep must avoid it."

Those who were born in the years of the Rooster, Ox and Sheep at the scene immediately obeyed the order and moved away.

"Avoidance complete, opening."

"Quack! Quack! Quack!—"

Just as the coffin was opened, a group of crows and birds suddenly flew away in fright from the distant mountains and forests, as if they were frightened by something, and seemed to foreshadow something ominous.

When everyone heard the sound, they couldn't help but look towards the flock of startled crows.

At this time, a thick black smoke of death came out of the opened coffin, and then the body of an old man wearing Qing Dynasty official uniform and looking to be in his fifties emerged from the coffin. It was none other than Old Master Ren, Ren Feiyong, but his body had remained incorruptible for more than twenty years.

"hiss--!"

"What's going on? Wasn't Old Master Ren dead for over 20 years? How come his body still doesn't look like it's decayed at all?"

"."

After seeing the appearance of Ren Feiyong's body in the coffin, everyone present couldn't help but feel a commotion.

It is too abnormal for a person's body to remain unchanged for more than 20 years after his death.

Even Uncle Jiu's face changed, because he knew better that Ren Feiyong in front of him might have turned into a zombie, and it was a corpse that had been dead for more than 20 years and had not decayed. Once it turned into a zombie, it would probably be a terrifying zombie at the level of an armored corpse.

"Uncle Jiu, what should we do now?"

Ren Fa also noticed that there was something wrong with his father's body, and couldn't help but ask Uncle Jiu.

"Master Ren, Old Master Ren's body has remained incorrupt for twenty years. I'm afraid it has already turned into a corpse. I suggest cremating it on the spot."

"Cremation, that's not possible."

When Ren Fa heard about cremation, he shook his head repeatedly.

The concept of filial piety is deeply rooted these days, especially for a wealthy family like the Ren family. It is an insurmountable obligation, and burning the bodies of ancestors is undoubtedly a sign of great disrespect.

Moreover, Ren Fa was even more worried that burning his father's body would ruin the feng shui fortune of the Ren family's future descendants.

So when faced with Uncle Jiu's proposal, Ren Fa simply shook his head.

"If we don't burn it, there might be trouble, or even corpse transformation," Uncle Jiu advised.

"My father was afraid of fire when he was alive, and as his son, how could I bear to burn his body? Uncle Jiu, please help me think of other ways. I will give you double the money. Please help me find a solution."

Ren Fa insisted.

Finally, seeing that Ren Fa insisted and considering the money, Uncle Jiu nodded.

"Okay, then bring the body to me first, and then I'll bury it after I find a good grave suitable for Old Master Ren."

"Okay, thank you Uncle Jiu. Someone, come and carry the coffin to the charity cemetery."

"You two stay here and burn some plum blossom incense in front of the grave. Remember to burn incense at the surrounding graves as well."

"."

In this way, the group went down the mountain in a mighty procession, and the coffin and the body were carried to the charity cemetery where Uncle Jiu was.

Guan Shaoqing also brought Ren Tingting and followed Uncle Jiu to the charity cemetery.
