Chapter 1170 - That Was A Piece Of Treasure Land
Shu Man and Su Ye didn’t know the customs and traditions in this small place. In fact, they were completely atheists, thus not believing in ghosts or gods. However, after receiving a phone call from her sister, Shu Man hurried back overnight. Not for anything else, she came here just to have a look, to see the place she was born and to visit her own parents.
Shu Man didn’t think that her mother’s corpse had not rotten for twenty years because of her. She believed that the tomb must be to blame. The inside coffin was completely isolated from the outside environment, which led to this rare phenomenon.
The soul delivering ceremony began.
Shu Man and her sister knelt in front of the tomb. There were about twenty monks beating wooden fish and chanting sutras around. Two mages were working on delivering soul aside.
A lot of brave villagers were watching from a distance, some standing on the path, some climbing onto the tree, and some standing not far from the graveyard to watch the ritual.
The appearance of inferi in the village was a rare thing that would only happen once in a century. They were all curious. Only some superstitious people dare not come over.
“Is that He Chendong’s little daughter?” A woman pointed at Shu Man, eyes full of doubts.
“She seems to be. God, the child should still be alive.” Said an uncle aside in surprise.
“What’s more, their little daughter got married to the boss of some company. Su Ye... Yes, it’s Su Ye, who boasts of hundreds of billions of yuan in assets.” An aunt aside spoke.
“Well, what did I say before? The place where He Chendong and his wife were buried is a piece of treasure land. Why did they bother to change it to another place? Look at his two daughters. They have both married into the super rich families. Although He Xiyan, the elder sister, has divorced twice, she was sure to have got a lot of alimony when getting divorced. That amount we can’t earn in our whole life.”
Local villagers were talking about it. Seeing the current situation of the two daughters of He family, they didn’t think that this place was a bad one.
Some people even told their children to bury them on this mountain after they died. Maybe future generations could also marry into a rich family and become affluent and powerful.
The ceremony was about to last for an hour, nearly two hours.
Su Ye wandered aside. He was worried that Manman needed to kneel on the ground for such a long time. It was a grassland full of bumps and holes. Her knees must be numb after kneeling for a long time.
Less than half an hour since the ritual started, Su Ye helped lift up Shu Man, patting her on the back, and said, “Go rest nearby. I’ll help here.”
Then, Su Ye knelt at the place where Shu Man just knelt.
He had never knelt in his life. He neither knelt down to the heaven or the earth nor knelt down in front of gods.
Today, the master of Su family would kneel down here. In fact, he didn’t think it was necessary to do so. Since the corpse was not corrupted, he believed that it should be burned. However, thinking that this was his mother-in-law after all, he couldn’t say anything like that, which was not filial. Therefore, he could only follow the local customs and agreed to deal with it in this way. Do as the Romans do. After all, it was also a kind of respect for the dead. Anyway, local people believed in this.
The ceremony lasted for two hours. Two hours later, more than twenty monks sitting on the ground stopped chanting sutras, and the mages stopped their practice either.
