    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? When the ancestors of the Liu family founded the clan, they worshiped Lu Ban as their master and passed down the carpentry skills.  In the early years of China, both housing and furniture were basically made of wooden structures. A carpenter with outstanding skills was always popular.  As the saying goes, "The master leads the door, and the practice depends on the individual." When the Liu family's carpentry work was passed to Liu Wenyuan's hands, the family was basically in decline.  It¡¯s not that Liu Wenyuan is tired of the carpentry profession. The main reason is that the rise of brick houses and the invention of more wood substitutes have made it difficult for more and more carpenters to make a living. Therefore, a large family only relies on this craft to make a living. It has become  Extravagant hope.

    Like other carpenters, Liu Wenyuan has been looking for opportunities for transformation. Fortunately, he is destined to meet a noble person.

    This noble man¡¯s name is Wu Ming, which is homophonic to ¡°wuming¡±.  Because the birth hexagram is "the evil star", the Taoist chose such a name in order to ward off evil spirits.  Wu Ming is a famous "Lamp Master" in the local area.  What is "Deng Ye"?  I still need to talk to you about the details of this.

    Before there was a cremation system, China had always adhered to the principle of "burying the dead in peace." When burying the dead, in addition to looking for Mr. Yin and Yang to see the grave enclosure, the "Light Master" who leads the way is also indispensable.  According to the custom of lighting lanterns after death, once someone in the family dies, one must immediately ask the "Lamp Master" to help light the lanterns.  From the time a person dies until he is buried, the light must be kept burning.

    This may seem like a small matter of lighting a lamp, but actually there is a lot to say.

    Before lighting a lamp, you need to understand the life of the deceased.  If the deceased is an old man in the family, with a smile on his face, he should choose a large wick, use the lamp to compare his famous name during his lifetime, and let his filial sons and grandsons bow down in courtesy.  But once the deceased dies of a stubborn illness and has a vicious breath in his mouth, the wick must be long and thin, and the brightness must be extremely precise, preferably "blinking on and off", which will all test the skill of the "Lamp Master".

    After talking about wicks, let¡¯s talk about lamp oil.  Whether the Hades lamp is lit well or not, the lamp oil plays a vital role.  After a person dies and is buried, it usually takes three days to bury the body. The bowl of lamp oil must be burned for "three days and three nights", exactly. It is said that some "lamp masters" can hold the lamp oil so that "the lamp will be on after death and the lamp will be extinguished during the burial."  "The ultimate.  In order to control the burning time of the lamp oil, preparing the fuel for the lamp oil has become a secret recipe that the "Lamp Master" never discloses.

    After talking about "light", the rest is "people".

    The "Lamp Master" eats the food of the dead. Therefore, as long as you are engaged in the profession of "Lamp Master", you must also be able to channel spirits. If the lamp is unstable after death and the ghost lamp is extinguished early, it will definitely bring disaster to the family of the deceased.  , since "Deng Ye" eats this bowl of rice, he will take the risk of losing his life and longevity in order to turn misfortune into good fortune.

    Therefore, this seemingly inconspicuous business actually contains a great mystery.

    Wu Ming has been a "Light Master" for 40 years. The number of dead souls he has taken away under his guidance is approaching five figures, and there is not a single case of "extinguishing the lamp".  Therefore, his name is absolutely resounding throughout the country.

    Regrettably, the profession of "Leng Ye" is similar to that of carpentry, and it is gradually declining.

    It was a funeral for a fellow villager. Liu Wenyuan, as a relative (a relative who was relatively close to the deceased), sat at the same table with Wu Ming and was responsible for accompanying the wine.

    The two exchanged glasses, and the more they chatted, the more they became more and more congenial. After the deceased was buried, the two made a private appointment to continue their conversation in the tavern.

    "Alas, there are fewer and fewer people who know the rules now." Wu Ming picked up the wine glass and took a sip, wiping the wine stains from the corner of his mouth. "Our ancestors were very particular about being buried in the grave. I think back then we were in the business of 'lighting lanterns'  , it has been glorious for hundreds of years, but by my generation, it¡¯s almost impossible to make ends meet.¡±

    "Brother Wu, who can say otherwise? I have learned carpentry from my father since I was a child. I have been doing it for decades. I originally thought that I could build a wooden building comparable to the 'Tengwang Pavilion' with my craftsmanship. But now, I can only do a few things."  Living on a desk and a bench.¡±

    "Well, it's no wonder. The war is in chaos now. It's good to be able to fill our stomachs. It seems that the Qing Dynasty is about to disappear. We craftsmen are somewhat better than ordinary people."

    "That's right! We have a technical guarantee to some extent."

    Wu Ming put down his wine glass and took a deep look: "Brother Liu, there is something I don't know whether to say or not."

    "You should speak up, you should speak up. Why shouldn't you and I, brothers, speak out?" Liu Wenyuan is also a straight-tempered person.

    "Okay, then I'll tell you straight away."

    "I'm all ears."

    "You are eating from the living, and I am eating from the dead. Since neither of us can eat anymore, can we have a bowl of rice?"

    "A bowl of rice? What does Brother Wu mean by this?"

    "Since you can't build a house for the living, have you ever thought about building a house for the dead?"

    &nbIncome.

    Excluding these two, Doufang Mountain ranks among the remaining mountains in Yunxi City.  First, Doufang Mountain is a large mountain with a small slope and soft soil, which is suitable for burial; second, the transportation here is convenient and the mountain is easy to climb, making it suitable for tomb sweeping.  Based on these two points, some people have come up with this idea.

    Zhou Libo was Yagyu¡¯s first partner.

    Zhou Libo ran a funeral store in Yunxi City. He was well aware of the huge profits behind burials, so he asked around and took the initiative to find Liu Sheng. He wanted him to make it easier and secretly bury the body in the mountain. He promised to split it 50-50 and  The coffin was also purchased from Yagyu.

    According to the market conditions at that time, a grave site cost 20,000 yuan, and a coffin cost at least 10,000 yuan. To bury one person, Yagyu could get at least 20,000 yuan. Of course, he would not refuse such a good thing.

    After hitting it off, Yagyu started the "burial" business with a number of funeral shops with the mentality of "helping people bury people in their bodies for burial".  In less than three years, Doufang Mountain was "overcrowded with corpses" and there was not much land left on the mountain suitable for burying people.  Although the relevant local departments have also inquired about it, they all ended up saying "be sure to pay attention next time".

    "If we continue like this, there will only be a dozen graves left at most." Calculating the graves based on the tomb map he drew has become something Yagyu must do every day.

    In the entire Doufang Mountain, he had a clear account of where he could and could not be buried.

    ¡°This is to calculate how much income I can still have, and the second is not to offend anyone.  Just imagine, if you accept someone else's job and the body is brought up, there will be no place on the mountain to bury it, which is unjustifiable both emotionally and rationally.

    So he must be aware of it.

    It has become a habit for him to go up and down the mountain for inspection every now and then.

    On April 4, after the Tomb Sweeping Day, Yagyu went up the mountain to clean up garbage as usual in previous years. When he passed a field in the back mountain, his eyebrows instantly knitted together.

    "Why has the soil here been turned over?"

    To make sure he saw it right, Yagyu Neko lowered his waist, grabbed a handful of loess and rubbed it in his hands: "The red mud has been turned out, and the pit has been dug 1 meter away. What is happening?

    "Is it possible that someone buried someone on my mountain without saying hello?"

    In anger, Yagyu made a phone call: "'Big Head,' someone has been here recently on our mountain? I suspect that a grave was dug privately on the mountain." "Big Head" is a laborer who has been working with Yagyu all year round and is responsible for burial digging.  pit.

    "No, I don't know about this."

    "Do you know the brothers who are working with you?"

    "We have all been doing farm work together recently. I don't know, and they definitely don't know either."

    "Okay, let's do that."

    Liu Sheng hung up the phone and went down the mountain to bring the hoe.

    "Bah, bah!" The spittle was wiped on the palm of the hand, "I want to see today who dares to bury someone privately on the top of my mountain in Yagyu!"

    "Hey!

    "Hey!

    "Hey!"

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    Not long after, Liu Sheng felt as if the tip of his hoe had touched something soft. He hurriedly peeled away the loose loess, revealing a military-green quilt.

    "There is indeed someone!"

    Yagyu pulled the body out. Just when he wanted to jump up and curse, the second and third quilts were also exposed.

    "Gudong" Liu Sheng swallowed his saliva: "Three, three, three, three people?"

    "What should I do?"

    In panic, he chose to call his relatives of the township chief. He had been able to work smoothly in Doufang Mountain all these years because of the township chief's relationship; of course, the township chief also received benefits from Yagyu.

    "Uncle, what's going on?"

    "Something big happened."

    "What's the big deal? What's the big deal? Find a place where no one is around to explain it in detail." The other party's voice was already trembling.

    Yagyu then described what happened in the morning in extremely detailed language.

    Hearing the end, the mayor breathed a sigh of relief: "Uncle, I advise you to call the police. If this is secretly buried by a murderer, something big will really happen."

    "But there are so many people buried privately on this mountain. How will the Public Security Bureau trouble me when the time comes?"

    "Don't worry, this is not under the jurisdiction of the Public Security Bureau. When the Public Security Bureau asks you, just tell me exactly what you just said to me. Don't worry, I'm here."

    "Hey, I feel relieved with your words. I also feel that something is fishy, ??so it would be better to call the police."

    "Yes, even if it's not a murder case, if the Public Security Bureau is involved, you can still find a new home, right? You know, a piece of land can now cost up to 100,000, so you can't take advantage of others."
