Early the next morning, Cai Wenye asked his servants to hire three carriages. After breakfast, Cai Wenye accompanied my great-great-grandfather and Wang Shoudao to Little Green Mountain five miles south of the county city. Accompanying them were the old butler Cai Zhang, the servant girl who poured wine at the banquet, Xiao Lan, and two guards. Originally, he didn't need to bring these two guards, but Xiao Lan was timid, so Cai Wenye sent two guards to accompany her. It was mainly to give her courage, because this time, it was all up to her to find the place where Cai Qingjun picked the wildflower four years ago.
On the way, in the carriage, my great-great-grandfather asked Wang Shou in confusion,"Master, Miss Cai is only haunted by the 'flower ghost.' Why don't we just get rid of that ghost? Why do we have to find that male corpse?”
Wang Shoudao was currently smoking a pipe, filling the entire carriage with the smell of secondhand smoke. My great-great-grandfather had no choice but to open the carriage curtains.
When Wang Shoudao heard his great-great-grandfather's question, he cast a sly glance at the coachman driving the carriage outside. Then, he raised the pipe and pulled down the curtain of the carriage. He scolded his great-great-grandfather in a low voice," What do you know? This ghost is indeed a 'flower protector ghost'. It's very easy to get rid of it." However, this ghost is your matchmaker, your benefactor. Can you bear to get rid of your benefactor? I can't do that kind of wicked thing.”
Wang Shoudao's words confused my great-great-grandfather. Just as he was about to ask something, Wang Shoudao glared at him and stopped him." From now on, you better behave yourself. Don't say another word. Do whatever I tell you to do. Don't ask, just do it. Do you hear me?"”
"Yes, I heard you." Hearing Wang Shoudao say this, my great-great-grandfather didn't dare to say anything more and swallowed the words he wanted to ask. Although my great-great-grandfather didn't understand what his master was up to today, he knew that everything his master did was for a reason. He said that the "flower protector" was his matchmaker and benefactor. Perhaps this matter really had something to do with him. My great-great-grandfather was a simple and honest person. He didn't have many tricks up his sleeve, and he never thought too much about it.
Half an hour later, the carriage stopped at the foot of a small mountain. My great-great-grandfather helped Wang Shoudao out of the carriage to take a look. This small mountain really lived up to its name. The green mountains and clear waters were pleasant, and the mountains and plains were filled with strange flowers and plants. It was like a paradise. Even Wang Shoudao couldn't stop praising the small mountain when he saw it. He said that the reason why the Cai family flourished with officials and merchants was because they had chosen a good place for their ancestral graves.
The Cai family ancestral grave was located on a relatively flat mountain, halfway up the mountain. After getting off the carriage, they had to climb a mountain path. Although it wasn't steep, for a hundred-year-old like Wang Shoudao, climbing up was harder than ascending to the heavens, so they had to be carried by my great-grandfather.
When they arrived, my great-great-grandfather put Wang Shoudao down. Wang Shoudao looked around and couldn't help but say,"Good feng shui, good feng shui. This is a 'rhinoceros looking at the moon' game. The ancestral grave is placed in the position of the rhinoceros. It is in charge of the official's luck, business is booming, and future generations are blessed.”
When Cai Wenye heard this, he hurriedly cupped his hands and said to Wang Shoudao,"Old Mister Wang is also proficient in Feng Shui?”
Wang Shoudao waved his hand." I don't dare to say that I'm proficient. I only know a thing or two.”As he spoke, Wang Shoudao changed the topic and said,"We'll talk about Feng Shui later. Right now, finding that male corpse is the most important thing.”As he spoke, Wang Shoudao turned to look at the servant girl Xiao Lan." Girl, do you still remember where your Miss picked the flowers?”
Xiao Lan's face was a little pale. Although there were two servants accompanying her, she was still a little afraid. She did not say anything, but her lips were tightly pursed and she quickly nodded.
Wang Shoudao chuckled at her." What are you afraid of? With me and my disciple here, what are you afraid of? Come, bring us over to take a look."”
Two tall and burly servants accompanied him on the left and right. The servant girl Xiao Lan led the way in front. My great-great-grandfather carried Wang Shoudao on his back again and walked side by side with Cai Wenye and Butler Cai Zhang.
The place where Cai Qingjun picked the flowers was not far from her family's ancestral grave. It was less than a hundred meters away. It was on a small rock protruding from the mountain. The small rock was not big, about two square meters. There was nothing growing on it, and it looked very strange and abrupt against the green surroundings.
The maid Xiao Lan stopped far away and did not dare to go any further. She raised her hand and pointed at the small stone bag and said to Wang Shoudao,"It's right there. An remembers it very clearly. That year, that flower grew there. Young Lady went over and plucked it. An even told Little Xiang that this flower was really beautiful.”
Wang Shoudao nodded and said to everyone,"Alright, you guys wait here. I'll go take a look with Xuanyi.”As he spoke, Wang Shoudao gestured for his great-great-grandfather to carry him over.
When we arrived at the stone tent, my great-great-grandfather put Wang Shoudao down. Wang Shoudao stood next to the stone bag and looked around again."I didn't expect that there would be a Broken Sect Bureau in such a good place.”
"What is the Broken Gate Bureau?"”
When my grandma talked about this, I asked her if Wang Shoudao knew about Feng Shui. My grandmother said that she knew, but she didn't know how much she knew. Because your great-great-grandfather's aptitude was too poor, he only learned to catch ghosts for twelve years, so Wang Shoudao didn't teach him anything else.
Wang Shoudao heard my great-great-grandfather ask him and sighed.""The Broken Gate Bureau is also known as the Bureau of Extinction. If you bury him here, all the people in his family will die within three to five years. It seems that this 'flower guardian ghost' was killed by an enemy when he was alive. It's fine if the enemy killed him, but he didn't want to let his family go. He buried him here because he wanted his family to die too. How ruthless.”
"Then what should we do?" When my great-great-grandfather heard this, he was a little confused. He felt that this flower guardian ghost was quite pitiful, and his heart immediately softened.
"What should we do?" Wang Shoudao looked at the small stone bun." I've already thought about it before I came. I'll dig out his corpse, find him a wife, and marry him. Then, I'll find a place to bury his wife.”
"We're not familiar with this place. Where can we find a wife for him?”My great-great-grandfather was in a difficult position.
Wang Shoudao waved his hand and said,"Don't worry about this. Come, carry me back to Master Cai."”
After returning to Cai Wenye's place, Wang Shoudao gave Cai Wenye a list and asked him to prepare according to the items listed on the list. At that time, they did not bring pen, ink, paper, and inkstone. Fortunately, Master Cai had a good memory and remembered them one by one.
The list was as follows: a life-sized paper figurine (female); A piece of green cloth, five feet long and three feet wide (yellow cloth was the best, but at that time, yellow cloth was only used by the royal family. Ordinary people using yellow cloth was equivalent to rebelling); A piece of black cloth, seven feet long and four feet wide; At least six pieces of papyrus, cut into six inches long and four inches wide; A bowl of rooster blood, two brand-new writing brushes, and a bottle of wine. Six boys over the age of eighteen, strong and courageous; Two sets of bright red wedding dresses for women and two sets of bright red groom's dresses; A good coffin, a red rope, two feet long; A silver needle.
There might be other items on this list. There are too many types for me to remember. I'll talk about it when I write it down.
After everyone returned to the Cai Residence from Little Qingshan, Cai Wenye instructed the housekeeper Cai Zhang to prepare these items. Wang Shoudao asked my great-great-grandfather to accompany him to the north of the city and found a cemetery for the "flower guardian ghost" in a wasteland in the north of the city. Wang Shoudao said that although this place was not a land of great wealth and wealth, it was already very good. If the "flower guardian ghost" still had a family member alive and buried him here, his family could have a smooth and untroubled future.
The day passed without a word. By evening, the items on Wang Shoudao's list were basically ready. However, the six boys above the age of eighteen were too difficult to find. In the past, men would have already married at the age of eighteen. Butler Cai Zhang searched the county for a day and only found five. There were still a few, but when they heard that they were coming to the Cai residence, they couldn't help but feel afraid. Miss Cai's life was there. Moreover, the butler couldn't explain why he wanted them to come to the Cai residence. Those people refused to come no matter what. They wouldn't come no matter how much money they gave.
Cai Zhang returned to the residence and told Cai Wenye that he was going to visit the countryside near the county town the next day. There were more unmarried men over the age of 18 in the countryside. Wang Shoudao quickly stopped him and said,"I can't wait until tomorrow. I have to use it tonight. What's the matter? My disciple is also a virgin. Count him in. It's exactly six."
