Lao Chu called Xiaoli's family over and said, "I've chosen that piece of land. Do I need the village committee's approval to bury the child there?" Xiaoli's father took one look and told us that it was an unowned wasteland and we didn't need to ask the village committee for permission. So I started chanting and doing rituals, asking the five ghosts to move the coffin and the two dragons to surround it. Shen Bing helped to change the aura of the land. At the same time, Xiaoli's father and the others dug the grave and carried the coffin.
Their family had prepared several small coffins long ago, because the coffins had long since rotted away and the body had turned into a pile of bones, so moving the grave did not require the same amount of effort as burying the body, and the small coffins could be used to hold the body. In our area, small coffins are called "boxes" and are specifically used for moving graves.
There were plenty of spirit pennants, paper money, incense sticks, and even a parasol, but it was useless because it was used to block the sun when collecting corpses during the day, and I changed it to night.
When it comes to relocating graves, there are a lot of things to pay attention to, but this is a subject of Feng Shui, and I am not very proficient in it. It is usually done during the day, and it is rare to relocate graves at night. However, this also depends on the birth date of the deceased. If it is a good day, there will be no conflict. And since I have changed the earth's energy, I don't need to spread the soil from the original grave into the new grave. It is more perfect than having a Feng Shui master preside over this ceremony.
Someone said, what is a good time at night? I may be pretending to know. This is because you don't understand. Since cremation is the only way to bury the dead, some people secretly bury the bodies of their ancestors at night. So, there are also good times at night. It depends on whether you are mistaken.
As the grave was dug, more and more people from the village came to help. It seemed that Xiaoli's family was popular in the village. There were eight bodies on their ancestral grave, including Xiaoli's grandparents. They were all put into small coffins and sealed. I saw that the time had come, so I called them to raise their spirit flags, scatter paper money and set off.
The eight small coffins were carried to the new cemetery, where relatives and friends had already dug a grave. I had come here to check it out once before, and the aura around the cemetery had become very different from before, which was the so-called spiritual energy, indicating that the five ghosts had successfully moved the coffins, and the two dragons had already moved them here.
When the ancestor's coffin was about to be put into the grave, something suddenly happened to the old pig. He started to vomit for some reason and suddenly fell on the ancestor's coffin. When they fell to the ground, the small coffin was immediately pressed open by his fat pig body, and the corpse was exposed from the coffin.
I couldn't help but open my mouth wide, thinking, "Oh no!" The most important thing to do when moving a grave is to reseal the coffin. It can't be opened before it's buried, otherwise it will cause collisions and bring endless disasters to future generations. And whoever touches the exposed coffin will be unlucky for the rest of his life, and in serious cases, he won't live more than seven days.
Shen Bing and Chen Gulong also knew that this was definitely not good, and they looked at me in shock.
I was stunned for a moment, then I ran over, grabbed Lao Chu by the collar, and threw him aside. Then I took out two corpse-suppressing talismans, one for the skull's forehead and one for the sternum, and took out a red rope, asked the coffin bearers to disperse, and I lifted the coffin myself, wrapped the red rope around it for seventeen or eighteen times, and finally tied a knot.
He then lit a bunch of incense and burned three "evil-relieving talismans". Then he called Xiaoli and her parents over, and asked them to kneel in front of the coffin and burn yellow paper to appease the frightened dead soul.
In fact, the old man's spirit may have been reincarnated long ago, so there is no spirit left. What is being appeased is just the spirit of the corpse. If this is not done, the corpse will surely be in trouble, which will be detrimental to future generations.
Xiaoli's parents were honest people, and this was Xiaoli's boyfriend, so they didn't say anything. But just as they knelt in front of the coffin to burn paper, Lao Chu had another seizure, rolling on the ground, raising his hands and howling like a pig being slaughtered. He rolled twice and then rolled to the coffin again, and it seemed that he was going to make trouble for the old man's body again.
Chen Gulong and Shen Bing ran over quickly, and I had already picked up his clothes and threw them over, just in time for two people to come over and hold him down. But this kid was not weak to begin with, and he struggled like crazy, knocking Chen Gulong and Shen Bing to the ground.
The villagers were so frightened that they stepped back, thinking that something had gone wrong with the relocation of the graves. I was also surprised, wondering if something had gone wrong with the Five Ghosts.
