Weird recovery, I can't hide my god's identity

Chapter 22
In the Lingnan area, there is an ancient funeral custom called picking bones.

After three to five years after the death of a relative, the corpse has been melted, and the "bone picker" is invited to open the grave and collect the remains of the first fire.After wiping it clean, put it into the urn from bottom to top in the order of toes, feet, legs, thighs, spine, chest, hands, and head, and then re-bury it at the right time.

Also known as "second burial".

A few years ago, the country promoted cremation, and the custom of picking bones gradually disappeared in the eyes of the public.Post-95s like Chen Jingle should be the last batch to be exposed to this concept.

At that time, long tombs could often be seen on the mountain, which was different from ordinary round tombs in that the bones had not yet been collected. After 06, Changfen basically disappeared.

However, in recent years, the state has not been strictly controlled, and some people in the countryside have been buried secretly, and the bone picking business has come out of the mountains again.

There is a rule in picking bones, which is called "over three but seven".

It means that the burial must be done for three years, otherwise, it is unfilial to let the ancestors vacate the house before they lived for a long time.But it can't exceed seven years, otherwise, if you get used to living and let the house be vacated, it is also unfilial.

There are many taboos in the bone picking business. After all, it is digging graves and opening coffins. If you accidentally come across something unclean and bring it home, it will be a disaster.

……

Shapo Village, Xiqiao Town, Orange County.

Villager Li Shitang is looking for someone to pick up his father's bones and move his grave.

When the old man was still alive, the fortune teller said that he was afraid of fire, so he refused to be cremated, and Li Shitang asked Li Shitang to bury him secretly in the mountains.

At that time, because of too much urgency, the Feng Shui was not selected well, and they didn't even dare to do something. The brothers secretly carried it into the mountain overnight and buried it, and they didn't even say where it was buried.Afraid of being reported, let the county funeral home open the grave and burn it.

This situation is not without precedent.

So they all said to the outside world that the old man was buried in the county cemetery.

Now that three years have passed, the positive policy has been relaxed, and if the people don't raise officials, Li Shitang wants to find a geomantic treasure for his old father and rebury his bones.

Because Xiqiao Town is located at the junction of Guangdong and Guangxi, he found a bone picker from the neighboring Gui Province.

Compared with southern Guangdong, the ethnic composition in western Guangxi is complex, and the custom of burial is still preserved in many places, and the profession of bone picker is still active.

When the auspicious day came, the whole Li family, young and old, came back, including the married aunt.

Li Shitang and his brothers and sisters went up the mountain with the Feng Shui master and the bone picker.

First, he made a sacrifice, told the old man that his unworthy descendants were going to help him move, and then opened the black parasol to block the sunlight, and prepared to open the grave and raise the coffin.

However, after opening the grave, something unexpected happened——

The coffin cannot be opened.

Everyone present was stunned, subconsciously looking at the Feng Shui master.

The feng shui master was also a little panicked.

After all, he is just a swindler who uses the banner of Feng Shui Kanyu to make a living. It is true that he is courageous, but he is also afraid of accidents.

However, he still forced himself to be calm and said: "It's okay, it should just be buried in the soil for too long, and it has become heavy, so come two more people to help out. It's such an auspicious day, it's not good to miss it."

Li Shitang and his younger brother hurried forward to help, together with the bone picker, the three of them worked together to barely open the coffin.

After the coffin was opened, a stench spread instantly, causing everyone to turn their heads subconsciously.

No one noticed that a cloud of gray mist floated from the coffin, instead of being scattered in the air, it sank to the ground and penetrated into the ground.

Inside the coffin, Li Shitang's father's body had rotted to the point where only the bones remained, with some rotting flesh attached to it in some places.

The brothers made a conscious effort to recognize it too far, both uncomfortable and a little frightened.

……

at the same time,

Yuchuan Civil Affairs Bureau.

"Report! A strange signal has been detected, number 0759081, energy level C, and is being located..."

"Successful positioning! Notifying colleagues from the nearby Civil Affairs Bureau to contain it..."

……

After opening the coffin,

Next is the job of the bone picker.

He would wipe the bones clean one by one, and then put them into porcelain urns in order, seal them, and hand them over to Li Shitang.

Light another stick of incense, and Li Shitang walks in front while the others throw paper money and set off firecrackers all the way to the new grave for burial.

By the time the last shovel of soil to cover the new grave was approaching evening.

Everyone hurried down the mountain.

After sending away the Feng Shui master and the bone picker, Li Shitang and others had a hasty dinner, and in the evening there was a funeral team going to perform rituals in front of the village ancestral hall.

Definitely won't be able to sleep tonight.

But what they didn't expect was that there was more than one reason for not being able to sleep.

Just as Li Shitang and others were about to leave for the ancestral hall, Zhao Yi rushed there with Xie Feifan.

"Excuse me, we are from the Shenchuan Municipal Civil Affairs Bureau. Who can make the decision here? I need to know the situation."

Hearing this, Li Shitang's family was stunned.

what's going on?
Could it be that the burial was reported?

After learning that the Li family was moving the grave today, Zhao Yi asked, "Did anything strange happen during the moving process?"

The Li family immediately hesitated.

Zhao Yi said decisively and seriously: "This matter is extraordinary. I'm not afraid to tell you that you have caused trouble, and you might die."

Li Shitang panicked, so he told what happened when he opened the coffin.

Zhao Yi's heart sank: "Please call the Feng Shui Master and the Bone Picker to come back."

The most important official Li Shitang met on a daily basis was the brigade secretary. In front of the comrades from Chuanchuan, he didn't dare to have an opinion, so he quickly followed suit.

"Comrade, there is no problem with the Feng Shui guy, but I have called the bone picker several times, but I can't get through."

Zhao Yi and Xie Feifan looked at each other, and both saw the seriousness in each other's eyes.

I'm afraid it's a bad thing.

Immediately call the command center: "Request number 081 target positioning support!"

The other end of the phone quickly replied: "The target's current location... Blue Ocean Seafood Restaurant, Zhengdong Avenue, Yinqiao Town!"

Xie Feifan looked at the map, it was not far from here, only two kilometers away.

The two drove over immediately.

……

However, when they arrived at the Blue Ocean Seafood Restaurant, they found that a cordon had been pulled up here.

Suddenly my heart sank.

If there is no accident, there is a high probability that there is an accident.

Find the person in charge of the scene to inquire, and sure enough, the person is dead.

The deceased was a bone picker.

That's right, the one who helped Li Shitang's family open the coffin and pick up the bones in the afternoon.

And the death was bizarre. When he was found in the toilet, his body had already rotted, as if he had been dug out of the ground.

After Cai Quan heard the report, he murmured, "Let me say hello to Zhucheng. After all, the victim is from Nanzhu County. Let them send some people over to deal with it."

Although Western Guangxi is relatively backward economically due to its geographical location, the Civil Affairs Bureau is not inferior to Southern Guangdong in terms of manpower.

Even in terms of work experience, it is even better.

After all, the west of Guangxi is known as one hundred thousand mountains, with complex ethnic groups and various customs, many of which have been inherited from ancient times to the present.It is not uncommon for something to happen that cannot be explained by science.

After receiving the news, the Nanzhu Civil Affairs Bureau quickly sent an experienced trickster.

Looking at the petite elder sister in front of them, wearing a blue and black floral dress of the Zhuang nationality, who is over fifty years old but has piercing eyes, Zhao Yi and the two dare not neglect.
