Legend of ancestral graves

Qing dynasty. Zhaoyuan area of Shandong province.

In this village, there is a Luo. Three generations of grandparents and grandchildren have passed, only a few acres of thin land, and poor families have left their homes.

Luo Dong's father is nearly seventy years old and is suffering from illness. Luo Fu's greatest wish in this life is that his children and grandchildren can develop, but he has no good chance.

On this day, an old friend came to visit his sick father. Father Luo knew that this old friend knew Feng Shui, so he asked for advice. The old friend just smiled, but avoided answering the question of helping to point out Feng Shui.

When he left, Luo's father sent his old friend to the village on crutches.

The old friend was very moved, so he pointed to a depression in the distance and whispered to Luo Fu, "See the depression next to that big willow tree? This depression is a treasure trove of geomantic omen. Those who can bury their ancestors' coffins here will make great achievements in the future. You are in poor health, don't send it again. Come back early. "

With these words, my old friend is leaving. ...

The next year, Luo's father was seriously ill, called Luo Dong to him and told him that the depression under the big willow tree at the entrance of the village was a treasure house.

A few days later, Luo's father died. Luo Dong buried his father's coffin in the depression next to the big willow tree according to his father's instructions before his death.

Luo Dong is in mourning, and three years have passed in an instant.

During this period, Luo Dong was willing to pay off his debts and sent his only son to a private school. My son is smart and studious, and won the first place in the provincial examination. Mr. Yu Shu predicted that this son would go to Beijing to catch the exam and be in the top three.

A rich family in the same village, with two sons under their knees, is dull by nature and has repeatedly failed in the rural examination. I was jealous when I saw the son of Laurence's family so promising. Later, it was discovered that Luo Dong chose to bury his father in a different place, and he suspected that there was a mystery.

The rich man specially spent a large sum of money to hire a Feng Shui gentleman to guide Feng Shui in the village. Mr. Feng Shui came to the entrance of the village and saw the depression where Luo Fu was buried. He kept nodding and said, this is really a treasure trove of feng shui!

…… ……

Soon, the rich man took the initiative to go to Luojia to discuss with Luo Dong, saying that he took a fancy to the depression under the willow tree at the entrance of the village and wanted to build a yard there. If Luo moves the grave, his family is willing to exchange ten acres of fertile land.

Luo Dong refused, of course.

The rich man offered to exchange 20 acres of fertile land for land. Although Luo Dong shook his head and refused, he thought to himself: My family is already heavily in debt and my son has been admitted to the countryside. If I exchange that depression for dozens of acres of fertile land, I can not only pay my debts, but also help my son to go to Beijing to catch the exam. This is a good thing.

When the rich man proposed 30 acres of fertile land, Luo Dong finally nodded and agreed.

In this way, Luo Dong chose an auspicious day, moved his father's grave out of the depression, and found another place to bury it, in exchange for 30 acres of fertile land.

As soon as the Luo family's ancestral grave was moved away, the rich man couldn't wait to move it into this depression. ...

Less than a year later, Luo Dong's son was preparing to take the exam in Beijing, but he got a serious illness inexplicably. Luo Jia spared no expense in treating his son. In the end, he almost sold all the 30 acres of fertile land he got, and he didn't completely cure his son's illness.

Lotung wanted to think, regretting that he shouldn't have exchanged that piece of geomantic treasure.

Besides, the rich man moved his ancestral grave into a treasure trove of geomantic omen, but his two sons failed to study. How did this happen? The rich man went to consult Mr. Feng Shui again. ...

Mr. Feng Shui pinched his finger and said regretfully, "Under the depression next to that big willow tree, there is a lotus pond surrounded by two pythons, which is definitely a rare place for Feng Shui." But why are these deviations? It must be that Luo Jia accidentally dug up the soil when he moved the grave, and all the treasures of Feng Shui were scattered. "

The rich man felt sorry for the 30 acres of fertile land he had bought for nothing and couldn't help crying. ...
