My master is invincible

Chapter 364 Nine Coffins (87)

Seeing that I didn't speak, the sixth son of the Lu family walked up to me and asked softly, "Chen Baxian, how high should the tombstone be raised?"

I glanced at the tomb, the coffin of the nine sons, and the tombstone, made a rough estimate in my heart, and said, "The coffin of the nine sons is two meters long, the tomb is three meters deep, and the height of the tombstone is about two meters. According to this According to the data, the place where the tombstone is buried must be raised by at least [-] centimeters to make the tombstone slightly higher than the grave."

"Are there any other considerations?" asked the eighth brother of the Lu family.

I shook my head and said: "It's nothing to be particular about. However, when burying, there is a saying that whichever direction the coffin leans will benefit the children of that house. The eight members of your Lu family correspond to eight directions. With Dongfang as the head, and so on, I don't know how many people, do you want to make the coffin of the nine sons a little bit?"

I will say this, in fact, to test whether the eight sons of the Lu family are really united, of course, that statement is also true.

"Does it affect father?" The eight sons of the Lu family asked in unison.

Hearing this, I breathed a sigh of relief. Being able to think of the old hero first is considered filial piety, so I shook my head and said, "It doesn't have much influence on the old hero, it's just a simple feng shui."

"Chen Baxian!" The fourth son of the Lu family bent over and said, "Regardless of influence or not, I hope you can bury father here with proper etiquette."

When he said this, several other people immediately agreed, and they all said that they should be buried according to the formal etiquette.

In this regard, I am completely relieved, the old hero's hard work was not in vain.

Immediately, I started arranging the burial ceremony, and the process went smoothly, but when the dragonfly touched the water, the coffin of the nine sons shook slightly. Fortunately, there were still a large number of people, and the coffin of the nine sons did not exceed the position below the dragon's vein.

After finishing the nine-son coffin, I asked the boss of the Lu family to shovel the first handful of soil, and then piled a lot of soil underneath to fill up the empty space. I also killed an ordinary rooster and dripped some blood on the dragon veins. Then wrap the birth date of the eight sons of the Lu family with a piece of oil and bury it in the dragon vein.

After finishing all this, we picked some soil from nearby and completely covered the nine-son coffin. Since the nine-son coffin was exposed outside, the tomb was made much larger than ordinary tombs.

Later, we decorated the grave of the old hero and set off some fireworks and firecrackers.

After the sound of firecrackers stops, the burial is completely completed, and the remains of the old hero can be regarded as saying goodbye to this world in a true sense.

After doing all this, the eight sons of the Lu family handed me, the stammer, and the villagers who carried the coffin a red envelope, which was very thick, about 2000 yuan.

Those villagers didn't want to live or die, saying that it was a blessing to be able to participate in the funeral of the old hero. How could they ask for a red envelope? I told them that this red envelope is the wish of the host family, and it belongs to etiquette.

When I said this, the villagers didn't refuse, so they took the red envelopes away, saying yes, they must buy something to pay homage to the old hero on Qingming Festival.

In this regard, I agreed with the eight sons of the Lu family, and without saying anything, we began to discuss the matter of the tombstone.

The tombstone was erected during the burial, which was regarded as a blood monument. According to normal etiquette, it was seven days later. However, the Jiuzi coffin is special. If there is no tombstone to accompany it, accidents are prone to happen.

Immediately, we rested for a while, smoked a few cigarettes, chatted about some household matters, and when our strength recovered, we started to erect the tombstone.

First I slaughtered a rooster, smeared some chicken blood on the tombstone, and read some scriptures.

At the same time, I asked Jieba to lead some villagers to fill in [-] centimeters of soil in front of the tomb, and compacted the soil with hoes and iron catalpas.

To be honest, filling the soil feels like superfluous. After all, after the soil is filled, a hole will be dug in the soil later.However, this is the case with erecting tombstones, and etiquette must be done, otherwise accidents will easily occur.

About half an hour later, I had just finished reading the scriptures, and the tombstone pit on the other side had just been dug.Together, we found that the height of the tombstone is two meters, and it needs to be buried 55 centimeters down, while the newly filled soil is [-] centimeters, that is to say, the tombstone stands completely on the newly filled soil.

Putting the tombstone down like this will definitely not work. The newly filled soil, no matter how firm it is, will definitely not be as stable as the old mud. Maybe the soil will loosen before the tombstone is erected.

After discussing for a while, I couldn't come up with an idea for a while.

At this time, the second son of the Lu family who had never spoken spoke up. He first gave each of us a cigarette, and then said: "Chen Baxian, do you think this will work? Let's find some stones and throw them in? Then put two cigarettes on both sides of the tombstone." The tombstone is supported by a tree pole, and the tree pole will be removed when it is Qingming, when the letter mud becomes old mud, the stability will definitely be no problem."

Hearing what he said, I shook my head and said: "The coffin of the nine sons itself is a coffin put together. If the tombstone is supported by tree poles, there is a meaning of disaster and disaster in it, which is not a good omen. Therefore, we must Let the tombstone stand there alone, without supporting it."

After finishing speaking, I took a puff of cigarette, walked to the tombstone, and stretched out my hand to break it. This tombstone is a bit heavy, it is estimated to weigh seven or eight hundred catties, not to mention new mud, even old mud would have difficulty erecting the tombstone. .

What to do?How can we keep the tombstone standing down?
This question is really difficult for us. There is an old saying that goes well, three cobblers reached Zhuge Liang, the whole scene was silent for three or four minutes, and Cui Zhigang spoke.

He said: "Everyone, what are you thinking about? This place is not good, so let's change to another place. Look at the back of the tomb, isn't there a small hillside? The height is exactly eighty or ninety centimeters, and it will be fine if you modify it a little bit." .”

After speaking, he pointed to the back of the tomb.

I looked along where he pointed, which was next to the tomb and higher than where we were now.If according to his idea, the tombstone is erected behind the tomb, which is not in line with etiquette.

So, I shook my head and said, "Putting the tombstone behind the tomb is to cut off the back of the tomb. It means cutting off children and grandchildren, which is not in line with etiquette."

Then Cui Zhigang was stunned, and said: "Chen Baxian, you should worry too much, the tomb of the old hero is circular, so there should be no distinction between front and back."

When I heard this, I thought about it. It really is like this. The tomb of the old hero is round. ahead.

Hearing what he said now, putting the tombstone on the hillside is really feasible, not to mention, but another problem arises again.
