Cha Wenbin said: "Not here to report, just saw that car had some problems, so came to ask, nothing else, thank you Director Zhao, youre busy, well leave first!" After saying that, he gestured for Old He to go out.

  He Lao got up and wanted to bid farewell, but Zhao Suozhang wanted He Lao to stay for dinner. After another round of polite refusals, He Lao looked at Cha Wenbin and asked for his opinion. Zhao Suozhang took a look and quietly asked He Lao, "Uncle, this young man doesnt seem ordinary, does he?"

  He Lao smiled and said, "Hes a godly person, we still have to go back to the countryside this afternoon." After finishing speaking, he followed Cha Wenbin to bid farewell. Zhao Suozhang was also a busybody, hearing that he was a godly person, he wanted to know how godly he was, so he picked up the package on the table and followed them out: "You two slow down, since its related to the guest car, Ill take you two to handle things, it will be much more convenient. He Lao is already old, I think its better for me to send you two back."

  Cha Wenbin looked at Director Zhao for a moment and nodded in agreement.

  Zhao was overjoyed like a child and immediately took Santana from the team and drove to Wangzhuang with two people.

  On the way back, Zhao Suo learned that Cha Wenbin was a Taoist priest. He asked some questions about mysticism, but Cha didnt know if he was too tired from rushing or just lazy, so he fell asleep. He Lao was still relatively fresh and told Zhao Suo some things he had seen, making Zhao Suo listen with great excitement, feeling that this trip was worthwhile, and also wanting to see how the Taoist priest caught ghosts, and when he returned, he would brag to his colleagues.

  After arriving home, Cha Wenbin first went to Old Man Zhangs house

  The ashes were brought back this morning and are now being offered in front of the ancestral hall. As for the scene, it was also Zhaos first time seeing it: a straw man lying in a coffin, surrounded by people crying and wailing! Its hard to describe how ridiculous it is, but its also a bit eerie.

  Everyone saw Cha Wenbin return and asked him what he would do next?

  Cha Wenbin had Zhang Lao Han gently pick up the ashes box and put it in the coffin, preparing for a big sweep tonight.

  Give a grand funeral to a scarecrow? Zhao, who came together with him, was amazed.

  Zha Wenbin was completely treating a scarecrow as a real person, and as usual, he walked on the fairy bridge. There is a small story here.

  How much the scarecrow weighs, Im sure everyone knows. Although Zhang Lao Han is also a sixty-year-old man, he cant even carry a scarecrow on his back. In fact, when he was carrying the scarecrow, he was so tired that he was sweating profusely and gestured to Cha Wenbin to stop and rest for a while. The onlookers were also shocked and wondered if the old ladys spirit had attached itself to the scarecrow.

  He didnt rest until the second half of the night, and Zhao Shouzhang was excited all night without sleep. After all, this kind of thing, he still saw it for the first time. Knowing that Cha Wenbin wouldnt answer, he kept asking Lao He non-stop until Lao He started snoring, and only then did he reluctantly fall asleep.

  The next morning, Zhang Lao Han and his group carried a large coffin with a straw man and an urn down to the burial site. This time, however, the coffin was not placed flat on the ground, but stood upright in the mud.

  Many people also saw this kind of burial for the first time, especially Zhao Suo Chang, who went back and entangled Cha Wenbin to explain. Cha Wenbin originally wanted to rest for a while, but was annoyed and had no choice but to tell him a little bit.

  After a person dies, their physical body slowly rots away, even if only the skeleton remains, the soul can still recognize this as its own flesh and blood because it is after all ones own body. However, the straw man is different, being just a medium, no one knows whether it will forever stick or fall off. In order to prevent becoming a lonely ghost, they could only be buried upright, which was equivalent to trapping the old lady inside.

  Everyone knows a ruthless saying: go in vertically, come out horizontally. Generally, when people die, they are laid down horizontally. Being placed vertically means the master is extremely fierce!

  This is called "Dragonfly Water Pointing" when buried upright in a thatched mountain. It was originally used in good Feng Shui places, suitable for burying merchant or official families, implying that future generations will be as light and agile as dragonflies pointing water, and later people will have a wide range of wealth and smooth official careers. Even if they encounter difficulties, they will be safe and sound, turning danger into opportunity. Moreover, it requires a water vein under the grave site, which is a kind of treasure hole, and it is very difficult to find.

  This is called the yang in yin, some are piled with three stones in front of the tomb as a sign. Some are planted with a long stone on the top of the tomb, exposing one foot above the tomb. The deceased is male, and the stone is planted on the left side of the tomb. If its female, the stone is planted on the right side. Some are equipped with a jug of sweet wine placed on top of the tomb, covered with a stone block at the mouth, called "Wan Nian Hu".

  Actually, the feng shui of this land is just ordinary, but there must be a reason why Zhang Wenbin chose to use such a complicated burial method.

  In ancient times, there were burials with the head facing upwards towards the sky and feet standing on the ground, known as "erect burial" or "burial while standing upright". There were also cases where the feet faced the top of the mountain slope where the tomb was located, in an inverted position. Whether it was erect burial or inverted burial, both meant to let the spirit ascend to heaven or descend from the mountaintop. This old lady is attached to a straw effigy, and in order not to let her realize that her corpse has been destroyed, the best solution is still to let her enter reincarnation as soon as possible, so this method was used.

  This made Zhao Suo Chang extremely excited, he almost knelt down and begged to be his apprentice.

  After lunch, the three drove directly to the county funeral home. Since there were people in charge here, things would be easier to handle. Although Director Zhao was only from a vehicle management office, he was after all from the provincial city. The director of the funeral home, surnamed Jin, had a big beard and looked like a cunning businessman. When he heard that someone from the province had come to investigate the car, he was very polite and invited the three into his office, serving them good tea.

  Zhao Shuo was also used to being domineering and didnt stand on ceremony, so after drinking a mouthful of tea, he got straight to the point, which was about that sports car.

  "Director Jin, that car, as far as I know, was originally a scrapped vehicle, how did it end up being used as a hearse in An County?"

  Director Jin lit a cigarette and scattered some smoke. Wen Bin shook his head indicating he didnt want one, then lit one for Director Zhao instead.

  "Director Zhao, you dont know the situation. Our countys finances are weak and we really cant afford a new car. This funeral home is also a civilian-run enterprise. The leader of the Civil Affairs Bureau thought about it and asked someone to find an old car for us from the provincial city. Whats wrong with this car?"

  Zhao took a drag on his cigarette, raised an eyebrow and looked at Wen Bin with a smirk, blew out a smoke ring and said: "This car, it was involved in an accident a few years ago, many people died, according to regulations it should have been scrapped. But Director Jin is using this car to transport dead bodies, how fitting! Haha!" His tone was sarcastic. "Director Jin, but you see, this scrap car on the road, according to regulations, needs to be towed back for compulsory scrapping, and a fine has to be paid too!"

  What kind of person is the director of the gold museum? Doing business with dead people! Naturally, he speaks human language to humans and ghost language to ghosts. Thinking that this must be a scam, he thought to himself that even if they changed cars, it would cost at least 200,000 yuan. With a sly heart, he rushed to say to Brother San: "Director Zhao, you are a leader from the provincial government. How about this? This afternoon, Ill host everyone for a simple meal. Were all one family, whats there to discuss?"

  Zhao Zuolong hadnt even spoken yet, when Cha Wenbin let out a cold snort: "Director Jin, this car really cant be exchanged. If its not exchanged, business will probably continue to go well!"

  The director of the Golden Hall had been paying attention to this person all along, but he couldnt guess his identity, so he didnt dare ask. This time, he opened his mouth and naturally followed up: "Brother, what do you mean by that?"

  Zha Wenbin said in a hushed tone, "This car has killed seven people, its extremely ominous. Such an evil object should have been destroyed, but leaving it here in the funeral home, its accumulated so much yin energy that Im afraid its become a malevolent spirit!"

  "Can this car also become a spirit? Brother, dont joke around!" Director Jin replied.

  Cha Wenbin stood up and circled around Director Jin: "Although you have many talismans of famous mountains and rivers on your body, they cant ward off the evil spirits in this place. Ive studied the feng shui of the funeral home, which was built according to the principles of yin-yang and bagua. It should be able to neutralize the evil energy here, but the river above has been cut off due to road construction, losing its yang energy. Director Jin, I see a black line between your eyebrows, and Im afraid you havent been sleeping well lately either!"

  The funeral home was contracted by Director Jin from the Civil Affairs Bureau at a high price, and its the only one in the county. The money is naturally rolling in, but this business of dealing with the dead isnt something that just anyone can do. Making money off the dead makes people feel guilty, so they inevitably go to pray for forgiveness, but then theres this weird person who actually got through to him. These days, Director Jin has been having a recurring dream: often someone in his dreams tells him to go drink together, but no matter what he cant see that persons face.

  Being said by Wen Bin, the head of Jin Guan was already sweating coldly. No wonder he had been feeling very tired recently. This person could see the Feng Shui here, wasnt he a master?
