  Watching Qianli still busy inside, Cha Wenbin also went over and shouted from outside: "Qianli, little brother wants to ask, what do you use to determine the orientation of this tomb? I also want to learn."

  "Ha! The heavenly stems and earthly branches govern the yin-yang and five elements, yet you still want to learn from a rough fellow like me? It's I who should be seeking your guidance instead."

  Cha Wenbin's mouth was still polite, but his heart had already determined that there was a problem, and it was a big one. This is because looking at a yin dwelling (tomb) is different from looking at a yang dwelling (house). The orientation of a yin dwelling only uses the heavenly stems, not the earthly branches. Therefore, the head of the coffin should be in the direction of Qian, Zhen, Kan, or Gen. However, this tomb's layout and gate orientation are all based on the "Li" position, which is born from Kun (the earth). Earth is also the central element of the five elements. If a yang dwelling were to use this orientation, it would be able to gather human energy. But if a yin dwelling uses this orientation, it will greatly increase the possibility of its descendants dying young or suddenly.

  Up to now, Cha Wenbin still doesn't plan to say anything, the coffin has not been unearthed, and the new grave has not been closed yet. He always thinks that if it wasn't for the fact that the hundred thousand li truly didn't understand local funeral customs, or perhaps it's just a custom in Fujian.

  The trench in the new tomb was filled with yellow paper, every three sheets stacked together, and each stack pressed down on the next one. On all the surfaces of the paper were scattered some copper coins, followed by some regular grains and daily necessities, because Zha Wenbin had already given a signal, those sharp objects were not put in.

  It's about time, and it should be Bai Qianli who hosts the groundbreaking ceremony. However, he walked up to Cha Wenbin with a difficult expression and said: "Cha younger brother, I've been eating fragrant ash all day today, and my throat is probably choked. Can you help me with this matter?"

  He didn't expect to be stuck with this kind of job, unrelated and unacquainted, besides, others invited you, how can they ask me to host? Seeing his hesitation, Baichengli quietly approached him and said: "Don't worry, I won't shortchange you, I'll go greet the boss, your share of red envelopes won't be less."

  He thought it was a good thing, and he could also make some money from it. Listening to Bai Qianli's tone, his voice had indeed become hoarse. Cha Wenbin thought that it didn't matter, so he let him go talk to Kong Lao first and then he would take command.

  This old man originally believed in that hundred thousand li, another one he was also a little afraid, fearing that hundred thousand li would be silent again and beat himself to death. It's dumb to eat yellow lotus, can't say the bitterness. Looking at Cha Wenbin, the young man today is quite impressive, well, his own son still has to rely on him, so he agreed without hesitation.

  "Big nephew, Uncle trouble you with this matter." He pulled Cao Wenbin's hand, while patting him on the back, and stuffed a circle of money into his hand. Cao Wenbin naturally felt embarrassed and hurriedly pushed it away, but didn't expect Fatso to be quick-witted and snatch it back, saying: "Don't be polite, this is also necessary. I'll tell you, Old Man Kong, usually when we want to invite Master Cao, he wouldn't even let us in the door. Today, he's showing mercy on you."

  Kong Lao Da kept smiling and saying thank you, Cha Wenbin has officially taken over from Bai Qianli.

  Not far from here is the old grave, two small piles of earth looked at the time difference, he first walked to the front of the grave, grabbed a handful of yellow soil and shouted: "The sky is round, the law is nine chapters, today's auspicious breaking of the ground!" The descendants of the Kong family began to line up and kneel again, burning paper money, crying and wailing, "Father, mother, why did you leave so early..."

  Don't mention it, this late at night, that's really annoying. Plus tonight the weather is bad again, and there are flashes of lightning in the distance on the mountain ridge. Cha Wenbin worries that a storm will come soon, and this yellow muddy graveyard will become a muddy mess.

  A few young men held hoes, with white flower balls tied to the handles. Cha Wenbin instructed them to form groups of four, each responsible for a grave mound. Each person stood in one of the four directions - east, south, west, and north. He then ordered: "The first two scoops must be done carefully; I'll give you a signal before you can dig again." Next, he shouted: "Golden hoes rise high, auspiciousness fills the mountain ridges; evil spirits depart, fleeing to distant lands. Begin!"

  Eight people, two graves, "whoosh" the first shovel of soil was dug up and put into a woven bag. This soil is also called head soil, it's the sky above our ancestors' heads, so we need to bring it back to protect our descendants, each family will get a share, wrapped in red cloth and placed at the bottom of a trunk or under the bed board.

  Immediately, the second scoop is about to begin. Cha Wenbin shouted again: "Golden shovel lifted, the grave is safe and peaceful, forever prosperous and wealthy! Break!"

  The second layer of soil is not to be taken or left behind, and this soil is called "broken life soil", which means that digging through this layer leads directly to the underworld. This soil must be packed in black bags, and later carried on the back by the eldest son down the mountain, where a place with no human habitation within five miles in all directions must be found, dug three feet deep, and buried, leaving behind written records to prevent future generations from digging up this soil for construction purposes.

  The real grave relocation is a very solemn ceremony, every step, every shovel can't be messy, the ancients emphasized that the dead are great, and relocating graves is an act of disrespect to disturb the rest of the ancestors. Generally, Taoist priests are not willing to take on this task, and if things go wrong, it will bring bad luck.

  After the shovel, Cha Wenbin shouted at Grandpa Kong again: "The eldest son presents wine to Jin Gang, one side in each direction; dispel evil spirits and ensure peace, step on the heavenly gang and win without change!" Grandpa Kong hurriedly brought his family to present a bowl of wine to the young man who was digging, Cha Wenbin saw that he was injured all over and didn't want to make things difficult for him, but this rule couldn't be broken. The person who digs is also called Jin Gang, they are here to help you dig a grave, what if something happens, who can explain? So the host needs to offer wine to Jin Gang, similar to the farewell wine that soldiers drank before going into battle in the past, this wine requires the host to kneel down, regardless of the other person's seniority, at this moment he is one level higher than Jin Gang.

  "Kneel!" Zhang Wenbin still shouted out that word, the young man in front of Kong Lao Da was only twenty years old, and according to seniority, he should be addressed as "Young Master". Kong Lao Da had no choice but to grit his teeth and kneel down, holding the wine cup high above his head. Things had reached this point, and the grave relocation job had made him thoroughly regretful, not just financially, but also to the point where he was about to lose face. It was truly a case of swallowing one's pride.

  One bowl of wine down, Cha Wenbin himself started moving, a brush dipped in cinnabar began to draw lines around the old tomb.

  He drew a semicircle on the ground towards the northwest, shouting "One stroke opens the heavenly gate!" Then he went to the southeast and drew a rectangular pattern with a small dot in the middle, symbolizing a locked door, shouting: "Two strokes close the earthly door tightly!"

  "Three strokes of the ghost road are sealed!" On the ground in the northeast, a horizontal line appeared, about two meters wide. "Four strokes of the human path are unobstructed!" This line was double-lined, with a road in between that extended all the way to the new grave, starting from the southwest Kun position. Later, after the coffin is unearthed, it will follow this road and cannot cross the line.

  After doing all this, the rest is formal groundbreaking. With Cha Wenbin's words "You can dig now", several young and strong men swung their hoes and shovels. The soil was not high to begin with, and it wasn't carefully buried back then, so after a few swings, the coffin inside was exposed.

  Remove the yellow mud on top, and the coffin is still quite intact. In the past, people were very particular about their own funeral affairs. Generally, older people would prioritize making a good coffin for themselves, with wood materials usually being self-sought, all of which are genuine solid wood plus raw lacquer.

  The old coffin must be opened, and only after opening it can we determine whether the grave can be moved. Fortunately, after checking the yellow soil around, there were no water bubbles or termites. Moreover, if this old coffin is not opened, it cannot be put into a new grave. Some coffins are made of poor materials or have been used for too long, so they are directly wrapped in straw or hemp and placed on the ground with the remains inside.

  Two coffins were unearthed and placed side by side. After careful examination, Cha Wenbin found no damage and thought the problem wouldn't be too serious, so he fetched an axe.

  The coffin was all made of wooden nails, that is, the wedge-shaped seal, and the seams were generally sealed with wax. Because time was pressing, Cha Wenbin didn't have time to find a specific living wedge-shaped nail, so he picked up an axe and swung it from bottom to top, "Bang"! At the same time, he shouted: "Today is a good day for heaven and earth to open, covering the coffin will bring great luck and wealth, the sky is clear, the earth is peaceful, the sun and moon are bright, covering the coffin will make the descendants prosperous!"

  The lid of the coffin was shaken open a crack, and several crowbars were inserted into the coffin one after another. The two coffins were ready to be pried open together. With a long "Open the coffin!" command, the wooden creaking sound began to crack. At that time, the Kong family cried even more.

  The coffin was opened and, fortunately, only two completely rotten white skeletons were exposed inside. The funeral clothes had long been stuck together with silk fabrics like quilts at the time of burial, and there were no other burial objects in the coffin except for a few broken bowls. There were many black spots on the white skull, and the empty eye sockets and yellow teeth formed a violent visual impact. People with small courage did not dare to come forward, while those with big courage commented on it:

  "It's okay, it's okay, the rotten part is quite clean, pretty lucky......" "Those black dots are fly eggs......" "Is Grandpa Kong's belly not hollowed out? How come it still looks a bit bulging......"

  That night, many people will have nightmares afterwards. The mentality of watching the excitement is unbearable. That scene will follow your memory for a lifetime, and maybe one day you'll wonder if you'll be in that state after you die...
