Chapter 415: Digging Graves
Zhuge Laogui once said that the place where he wanted to move his grave was here.
Although I don’t know why he was moving here, I can’t take care of that much at this time. As long as I settle him down, even if the task is completed, it will be his business in the future.
This time, Conan and I discussed with him and asked him to wait for us here for a while. Because after burying Zhuge Laogui's corpse, we still have to go back. Conan agreed and asked us to try to get faster. He said, if you delay for a long time, I will charge you more than an hour.
I was speechless. This guy looked like a slut at night. Why did he look like a black car driver during the day?
In order not to waste more money, I didn't waste time. I went straight up the mountain with Xiaobai. Lan Ning followed him and came to a deserted ridge. I saw that the terrain was pretty good, so I took out a bag of bones from the Qiankun bag, called Zhuge Laogui, and asked him how this place was.
When Zhuge Laogui arrived here, he looked so excited and relaxed. He looked around. He shook his head and said, "It's not a good place. Come with me. I'll go and choose the place myself. Hehe, I'm better than you."
He was born as a Feng Shui master, so he was naturally better than us, but I was a little speechless. I felt awkward when I watched Zhuge Laogui running happily in front of me.
This guy is actually looking for a grave for himself. It's weird enough to think about it.
After walking in the mountains for a while, Zhuge Laogui was still walking forward. I began to feel something was wrong. I stepped forward and stopped Zhuge Laogui and said, "Don't go, let's see where it's right. Anyway, you don't have descendants. Besides, you have been dead for more than two hundred years, so it's enough. You don't expect your descendants to be blessed and your descendants will flourish. What's so important?"
Actually, I was a little worried about something, because I had already recognized it. From here, I was about to reach the deep ditch of that day. I haven't forgotten that if the big terrifying python broke into its territory, it would be a matter of nothing to do.
Zhuge Lao Gui smashed his mouth, looked around, and said reluctantly: "Then... OK, then there's no need to worry about it, just beneath the pine tree in front."
"Okay!"
I responded, then walked over with Xiaobai, picked up the tools, cleaned up the weeds on the ground, withered branches and leaves, and then started digging holes.
This is the first time I did this job, and Xiaobai probably is so. He is in a good mood now. While digging graves, he chats with Zhuge Laogui next to him from time to time, such as...
"How deep do you always want to be a grave? Is one meter enough?"
"Well, is it okay to be wider or longer? You will feel comfortable sleeping..."
"By the way, do you want to erect a tombstone or something for you?"
"Oh, it's broken..."
I couldn't stand his nagging anymore, rolled my eyes and said, "Can you calm down for a while? Are you tired? What's broken?"
Xiaobai scratched his head and said, "We didn't prepare a coffin for him..."
I was speechless for a while and looked back at Zhuge Laogui and said, "How is it, do you still need a coffin?"
"Uh, that's it..." Zhuge Laogui really hesitated. I poked the shovel to the ground and said, "Don't think about it, there is no coffin. It's good to dig a hole for you in this wilderness. Isn't this a bag? Just treat it as a coffin."
"Then... well, I'm not picky, it's good to have a pit, so what, thank you for your hard work... I'm really happy to run so far to dig my grave. When I look back, I'll invite you in as a guest..."
I suppressed the urge to kick him, rolled my eyes and said, "Forgive me, Xiaobai may be able to come in with you. I don't want to go to the grave early. I haven't lived enough yet..."
I felt depressed, what is this?
Next, we both took the pickaxe and shovel together and started digging graves.
As the land was dug up little by little, Zhuge Laogui's new tomb gradually appeared in front of him. It was actually a big pit, more than one meter long and more than half a meter wide. I gestured for the depth and the bag was just enough.
"Look at how it's going, is this new home good?" I greeted Zhuge Laogui. He kept squatting beside him and staring at him. He frowned and said, "This... is a bit too narrow, right? It feels like a dog buried..."
I carried the bag and said to him, "You have only this large area now. Why? Do I have to dig a huge pit for you that can hold a large nanmu coffin?"
"No need for a huge pit, but you've misunderstood a little. We ghosts, this soul must be stretched inside. Look at my height and lying here, isn't it very crowded? Please, just use some more strength, good people can do it to the end..."
Zhuge Laogui almost begged, and Xiaobai also said: "Yes, brother, my grandfather has said before that if the place where the ghost lives is uncomfortable, too narrow, or the feng shui environment is not good, you will feel resentful, and you may become a ghost."
"Accurate ghost... Why, Mr. Zhuge, you are not living well and you will become an evil ghost?" I asked Zhuge, and he shook his head and said, "Where is it, I am a Taoist person, how could I become an evil ghost? I just want to sleep more comfortably, so I'll bother you..."
I said speechlessly: "Okay, then I'll try some more..."
So Xiaobai and I continued to swing the shovel and pickaxe. After another half an hour, we finally nearly doubled the tomb of Zhuge Laogui. This time, let alone how he slept in, I guess I would be rich when I lay in. Zhuge Laogui smiled with satisfaction and kept nodding and thanking.
"Okay, the grave has been dug too. Don't be polite this time, please come in." I said to Zhuge Laogui.
But he was not in a hurry and looked at me and said, "Well, have you brought in the offerings of incense and candles? Or paper money or something?"
I was stunned, yes, that's not the case. I should bring these things when I moved the grave, but I didn't even remember it at all in a hurry. Xiaobai and I looked at each other, and he obviously forgot. He kept scratching his head and said, "Oh, it seems that this is really not ready..."
Actually, we can’t blame us. Originally, we should prepare these things for relocation, but the situation of Zhuge Laogui is not normal at all. From digging to relocation, this guy is always present. Who can still remember that he would prepare paper offerings for such a guy who chats and spanks with us without any trouble?
"Sorry, I really forgot to bring it. Otherwise, you can sleep in first. It's quite rough now. You can live in a rough house first. Let's go back and buy offerings, burn paper, incense, candles, etc., and then erect a monument for you, and put some wreaths around you. This is definitely okay, right?"
I leaned my fingers and said to Zhuge Lao Gui, and he said in a little embarrassed manner: "Well, it's okay to make up for it, but there is nothing, and I can't sleep in it. This is not up to the rules. When I turn around, I go to bed. The ghosts around me have to come to fight Qiufeng. When I see that I have nothing, then I won't be bullied?"
I wondered, "No, why is this like a prisoner who has been newly in prison? Do you have to worship the ghosts around you?"
He nodded and said, "Well, not only ghosts, but also some local evil deeds, mountain gods and land, they often have to deal with. If any little ghost is not served well and which god has not been worshipped, they will suffer losses. You must know that the rules of the underworld are similar to those of your government in the world. They are rich masters and poor sluts..."
I was speechless. What's the hell of a rule? Can you say that people are bullied by the government office while they are alive, and they are bullied by the underworld office after they die? This is really like a crow in the world...
"Then... OK, but it's too late to find the offerings temporarily now. For paper money, we have to wait until we look back."
"But... I know you are a busy man. If you leave, when will you come back? What if you leave me and I guard an empty grave?"
Zhuge Laogui said with a pitiful look. I frowned. Just as I couldn't come up with an idea, Xiaobai suddenly said, "By the way, brother, why don't we look for it in this mountain to see if there is anything that can be used as offerings?"
"What can I have in this mountain?" I asked, and Xiaobai smiled: "That might be the case, just look for it."
