Chapter 64 Ancestors
Now not only me, but also the villagers have seen that the situation today seems a bit unusual. First, the rope was broken, then the sky suddenly changed, and now there are a group of snakes in the tomb pit. Everyone is talking about it all at once, but they are just yelling, and no one can tell why.
Master Jiu shouted to the young man who was digging the grave pit: "What's wrong with you? I don't know if I'm going to dig out the snake early?"
"Uncle Jiu, we are wronged. There are no snakes in the tomb pit we dug just now. Is it just rushing in after rain? Or is there a snake hole below, and the snakes all came out as soon as they were soaked in water?" said one of them.
Master Jiu had no choice but to look at Chen Dongfang and asked, "Dongfang, you can make an idea. If you really don't have it, let's dig one more quickly. If you delay it, you will really miss the time."
At this time, Chen Dongfang was standing there, with no expression on his face or even in his eyes. Li Qing stood beside him and was eager to try. Although there were a group of snakes in the pit, it was probably not a problem to deal with these snakes with Li Qing's skills. However, the appearance of snakes in this tomb pit was related to the Chen family's Feng Shui. Chen Dongfang didn't say anything, and Li Qing couldn't do anything.
"Dongfang?" Mr. Jiu spoke to Chen Dongfang without reaction, and he called out again.
"Wait for me to think about Uncle Jiu." Chen Dongfang chuckled at Master Jiu, and then he continued to fall into deep thought. I had finally advised myself not to meddle in other people's business, especially for such things, it is even hard for outsiders to interrupt. But I am the kind of person in ancient Dao. In addition, I have a good impression of Chen Dongfang these days, so I still couldn't help but walk over and said to Chen Dongfang: "Uncle Dongfang, is there anyone who interferes with it? It's really not OK. Please tell my elder brother a few words and let him take a look?"
Chen Dongfang patted my shoulder and said, "This is not suitable for outsiders to control it."
As soon as I said this, I was completely speechless, and I even blushed a little. Although I knew that Chen Dongfang might not mean that I was meddling in other people's business, I still felt embarrassed in front of so many people, so I stood aside and decided that I would not say much about the next sentence.
Chen Dongfang stood there for about five or six minutes. Master Jiu looked at the time and then urged him. Chen Dongfang nodded to Master Jiu and said, "Master Jiu, I know what to do."
After saying that, Chen Dongfang turned his head and knelt down directly at the snake in the tomb pit, especially at the largest snake in the middle, who bowed three times and nine times. After kowtowing, he stretched out his hand to Li Qing and said, "Knife."
Li Qing was a little embarrassed.
Chen Dongfang raised his head and stared at Li Qing and said, "Knife!"
Li Qing then pulled out his trouser legs, pulled out a dagger from his calf and handed it over. I didn't expect that Li Qing would still carry a weapon with him. After Chen Dongfang took the dagger, he directly slashed his hand on his hand. When the dagger was pulled out, Chen Dongfang's left palm was covered in blood.
"I have no intention of offending today, but my father's coffin has arrived. Please take advantage of the great immortals to walk for the sake of the ancestors of the Chen family. This will be remembered in my heart." After Chen Dongfang finished speaking, he put his palm into the tomb pit, and blood dripped into the pool of the tomb pit.
At this time, everyone was silent, and a few people were whispering: "Speaking nice things to snakes is called a great immortal? Can snakes understand human words? Is it useful?"
I was also very curious. In the past few days since I came into contact with Chen Dongfang, I only thought he was a martial arts master, but I didn’t think he was a Yin-Yang master. This is just as the fat man said that he has special skills. Chen Dongfang’s behavior is very similar to the Yin-Yang master’s approach, so I was very curious whether it worked.
The largest snake in the tomb pit seemed very spiritual. Its dark green eyes stared at Chen Dongfang when he knelt down. After Chen Dongfang dripped blood into the water of the tomb pit, it even looked at the drop of blood in the water.
Then, just when everyone thought Chen Dongfang's method was useless, the big snake swam and jumped up to the ground. After the big snake jumped to the ground, everyone made a way for the snake. A group of small snakes in the tomb pit also slowly swam along with the big snake and swam into the Chen family's ancestral tomb. There were many weeds in the ancestral tomb. After a while, the figures of the snake group disappeared.
Chen Dongfang then stood up and said to Master Jiu: "Pick out the water and put it into the ground quickly."
Jiu Ye was also shocked at this time, but he knew that time was tight, so he quickly asked those people to go into the puddle again to pick out the water. After the coffin was inserted into the pit, the soil was filled. Due to time, some details were omitted and they directly filled the soil to fill the grave. Finally, everyone knocked on the third grandfather and put a whip. The crowd dispersed. Until they all dispersed, I was still listening to them discussing what happened today.
After the crowd dispersed, I was also going home. Today's incident made me feel quite embarrassed. After all, this was the business of their Chen family. Who knew that Chen Dongfang stopped me and said, "Yezi, I'm leaving later. Let's go to Luoyang with me to see Chen Zhuzi."
"Aren't you waiting for the third grandfather's first seven?" According to the rules, the third grandfather's first seven will be a grand sacrifice, and then a banquet will be held.
"I won't wait anymore, I don't have much time." Chen Dongfang said.
"Okay, I'll go back and change my clothes." I nodded to Chen Dongfang. After nodding, I felt that I was a little too boring? I couldn't learn to refuse?
When I got home, my grandfather sat in the yard smoking a dry cigarette. After seeing me, my grandfather asked, "Is Chen Laosan buried?"
I nodded and said, "I buried it, just buried."
"These old men are all dead." Grandpa smiled. After saying that, he patted his butt and stood up and went back to the house.
I went into the house and changed into clean clothes, threw the dirty clothes into the basin, and then went out and arrived at the third grandfather's house. Chen Dongfang was already saying goodbye to the villagers. Someone must have had any objections to Chen Dongfang leaving so quickly. No matter how big the business is, my father is even seven years old. But to put it bluntly, even the surname Chen can't control their own family affairs, and I decided to say what should be said and what should not be said.
After Chen Dongfang explained the matter clearly to Master Jiu, he waved to me and got into the car I rented before. After I got in the car, he waved to everyone again. Then Li Qing moved the car and started slowly.
When the bus left the village and boarded the road, Chen Dongfang, who had a relaxed look on his face, walked on the chair, and seemed very tired.
"Yezi, what I said doesn't mean. Don't think too much. Whether you believe it or not, Brother Tianhua, I have always treated you and Zhongmou, and I am my nephew." Chen Dongfang said with his eyes closed.
"Yeah, I know." I smiled. I could clearly feel that Chen Dongfang did have a special relationship with my father, but it was really exaggerating to say that he treated me as his nephew. Over the years, my family has been extremely poor. If it weren't for Uncle Zhuzi, I wouldn't even have money to go to college. Where did you, the uncle who did big things in Shanghai when you were? If it weren't for Grandpa's business, I might not know what you look like, right?
"I didn't let Zhongmou come today. It's the same as last night. When he comes, he can kill those big snakes like Li Qing, but today is different from last night. Today's big snakes are the ancestors of the Chen family." Chen Dongfang said with his eyes closed.
Even though I was determined to treat myself as an outsider in this matter, Chen Dongfang's words still shocked me very much. Even Li Qing was so quick that he almost let the car get into the ditch.
"Don't be anxious, drive slowly." Chen Dongfang told Li Qing.
Li Qing nodded and continued driving with a confused look on his face.
