Chapter 20: Causes and consequences
Hearing this, Wen Cai quickly shut up and turned his head to look at Ye Wentian, who was not far away.
In fact, Ye Wentian is also very helpless. Although Wencai is stupid, he is kind-hearted and has no scheming. We have known each other for a long time and our relationship is quite good.
I really couldn't bear Wencai to make a fool of myself, and for the sake of Uncle Jiu's face, I concentrated my magic power into a thread and reminded Wencai with a sound transmission from thousands of miles away that ordinary people could not detect.
Then Uncle Jiu ordered the servants of the Ren family to start breaking ground, and continued chatting.
Nothing happened in the original plot, where Ah Wei knocked Wen Cai away from Ren Tingting, and Uncle Jiu protected his apprentice and bumped Ah Wei away again.
Because Awei is a person who bullies the weak and fears the strong, and now Ye Wentian, who is standing next to Ren Tingting, has such an extraordinary temperament that even an ordinary person can see it, so Awei naturally does not dare to treat him casually.
"Master, what is a legal burial?" Qiu Sheng asked.
"The so-called legal burial means vertical burial, am I right?!"
Uncle Jiu turned around and spoke to Master Ren as if he was asking or answering.
"Yes, that Feng Shui expert said that if the ancestors are buried vertically, the descendants will definitely be great."
"What if it doesn't work?"
"Our Ren family's business has been getting worse and worse in the past twenty years, and I don't even know why."
"I think that Feng Shui master had a grudge against your Ren family. Did the old man have any issues with him before he was alive?"
"This acupoint originally belonged to the Feng Shui master. My father knew it was a good acupoint, so he bought it with money."
When Ye Wentian heard this, he thought of the Yinxu Taoist that the two of them had jointly solved ten years ago. With a thought, he used Qianli Yuanxing to mention it to Uncle Jiu and told him not to say it for the time being.
Ye Wentian learned the art of sound transmission over a thousand miles from the musical instrument, using a special method to condense the sound into a line.
Uncle Jiu didn't have a good grasp of this method, so he didn't practice Qianli Sound Transmission very well. He didn't bother to reply. He just looked at Ye Wentian to express his understanding.
"Is it just inducement? Is there any coercion?"
Uncle Jiu saw Master Ren smile awkwardly and didn't know what to say, so he continued to ask:
"I think it must be coercion, otherwise he would never harm you, and even asked you to cover the entire Dragonfly Spot Water Cave with cement."
"What should it be like?"
"The top of the coffin should be covered with snowflakes, which is called a dragonfly touching the water. If the head of the coffin cannot touch the water, how can it be called a dragonfly touching the water?!
He still has a conscience and asks you to move your coffin and bury him twenty years later. He will harm you for half your life but not for the rest of your life. He will harm you for one generation but not for eighteen generations!"
Uncle Jiu roughly understood the cause and effect of the matter from Ye Wentian's message. He was afraid that all of this was a conspiracy hatched by Taoist Yinxu. The specific details would have to wait until the coffin is opened.
So at this time, I made my words a little more serious to lay the groundwork so that if there were any changes, I could speak out my opinions on how to deal with it later.
As soon as they finished speaking, the coffin had already appeared. Everyone brought the zipline frame, tied the rope, and started to pull it out. It was pulled up in a few times, and then everyone stepped forward to lift the coffin to the ground.
Uncle Jiu warned everyone about the taboos and ordered the coffin to be opened. During the process of opening the coffin, crows flew in the forest not far away. The scene was a bit strange, and an ominous premonition suddenly appeared in his heart.
Everyone gathered around and opened the coffin lid, only to see that the body inside was intact and showed no sign of corruption.
Seeing this, Uncle Jiu quickly thought to himself that it was not good. This corpse had been kept in the corpse-raising place that was converted into a cave at Dragonfly Point for twenty years. If it was not dealt with as soon as possible, it would probably turn into a corpse sooner or later.
Ye Wentian, who was on the sidelines, carefully used his soul to explore, only to find that the evil spirit inside the corpse had not emitted, and the brand in the body had long since dissipated, leaving only a trace.
The aura was vaguely familiar, and I knew in my heart that it must be Taoist Yinxu's.
It's just that Taoist Yinxu is already dead. This corpse has not been refined, the brand has dissipated, and the two spirits of resentment have already given birth to consciousness.
It is feared that after the corpse transforms, it will directly become a jumping corpse, and due to unwarranted changes, after absorbing enough blood of close relatives, it will even quickly transform and be promoted to a wandering corpse, with innate power.
"Dad, I have alarmed your old man. The child is really unfilial!"
"Grandpa~"
When the father and daughter of the Ren family saw this scene, they were also moved and immediately knelt down.
"Can Uncle Jiu still use this tomb?"
"If a dragonfly touches water, and then touches it again, it will definitely not touch the same spot again. This point will be useless."
"What should we do?"
Uncle Jiu turned his head and looked at Ye Wentian, and then replied:
"I propose to be cremated on the spot."
"Cremation? No, my father was most afraid of fire when he was alive. I can't do that!"
"Master Ren, there will be trouble if we don't cremate him!"
"Anything is fine, but you can't cremate it! Think of other ways." Master Ren also firmly rejected Uncle Jiu.
Some people always say in movie reviews that Mr. Ren is just faking it. In fact, if you think about it carefully, Mr. Ren can induce and coerce just for a tomb.
He will definitely not be a weak person. There is no conduct greater than filial piety, and no filial piety is greater than a strict father. He must have accumulated great prestige during his lifetime.
I am also very kind to Ren Tingting, providing food, clothing, and study in the provincial capital. Everything a person does in life will be affected by his parents' education, and his parents' influence will also be involved in raising children.
It is difficult to pretend to be filial, and I must have had great respect for Mr. Ren when he was alive. The ancients had a relatively strict view on funerals.
"Book of Rites" says: "All living beings must die, and after death they must return to the earth." This idea has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. In addition, all the relatives of the clan were present, and the combination of various factors made it impossible to agree to burn Mr. Ren.
Uncle Jiu didn't know what to do at this time, so he had to turn his head and look at Ye Wentian. Ye Wentian also knew that it was time to speak for himself, so he stepped forward and pulled Master Ren aside. Uncle Jiu's master and apprentice and Ren Tingting also followed.
, and of course the bitch Ah Wei.
After Ye Wentian saw that there were few people, he thought for a while, organized his words, and then said:
"Uncle Ren, let me tell you the truth. There is a reason why Uncle Jiu asked you to be cremated on the spot. This matter started ten years ago..."
Immediately, Ye Wentian told everyone what happened ten years ago, including what evil methods the Yinxu Taoist had, what he did in the Ye family, and how he and Uncle Jiu jointly solved it, as well as his own soul just now
All the information that was sensed through telepathy was spoken out together.
The literary talent Qiusheng knew about this, so he showed no expression, but the other three were extremely shocked when they heard this and found it quite incredible.
Ren Tingting was not yet born at that time, and Awei was still young at the time, so he might not have understood anything, but Master Ren knew very well that this was the person who buried my father back then.
When I remembered that this person disappeared ten years ago, I started to believe it, but I was hesitant, not knowing what to do.
"Uncle Ren, you have to think clearly. Back then, this person showed weakness to his enemies and sold the Dragonfly Point Water Cave to your family. His original intention was not simple.
