This thought was so terrifying that I broke out in a cold sweat instantly. But after calming down, I knew that I could not be dead , because I have seven emotions and six desires, and what I do every day is what a human being does. I even do some harmless and immoral things occasionally, such as trolling people on the Internet and having "fantasies" about beautiful women I meet on the street, which are the inevitable "fantasies" of normal men.

If I can do these things, I'm definitely not a ghost. Besides, I earn RMB and spend RMB, so I can be sure that I'm not dead.

The question is, where did these graves come from? Could it be that there are "enemies" of my family in Longhua Village, cursing our family in this way ?

This is very possible. Thinking of this, I immediately became furious. Without thinking twice, I went up and dug up the soil of the three graves. Although the tombstones were buried too deep and could not be pulled out, I kicked them hard a few times, spat a few times, and then kicked the offerings on the ground into pieces.

After doing all this, I was exhausted and out of breath. I sat on the messy grave mound and rested for a long time before returning to the village. At this time, the villagers had already started preparing dinner. Because it was my first time here, the villagers gave me a grand welcome ceremony and a buffet in the evening.

The first thing to do for a so-called buffet is that all villagers must participate. If one person is missing, it cannot be considered a genuine buffet, except for pregnant women or patients.

Secondly, every household has to serve a specialty dish, and I eat at my table.

To put it bluntly, Longhua Village is the gathering place of our family. The Fifth Old Master is both the clan leader and the village chief, so his appeal is naturally unquestionable. In the evening, a long table was set up in the yard of the Fifth Old Master's eldest son's house, and wine and food were placed on the table like flowing water.

Zhejiang cuisine has a light flavor and is not greasy, so it doesn't matter if you eat a few more bites. However, when I was drinking and chatting with relatives from the entire family, I became more cautious and secretly observed everyone's expressions and attitudes towards me, trying to find out who was secretly cursing our family.

But everyone I ate and drank with was so friendly and at ease that I was dazzled by the round of drinks and couldn't tell who was the "one with ulterior motives." After three rounds of drinks and five dishes, I was feeling flushed and drunk when Luo Tianbao came over to me and whispered, "Brother, the old master wants you to come over."

People in Zhejiang drink rice wine. If it was white wine, I would have fainted by now, but now I can still barely follow people and walk drunkenly into the room where the old man is. I saw that the old man had a very serious expression and was sitting on a chair in the main room with a frown.

After seeing me, the old man said to Luo Tianbao, "Go pour a cup of hangover soup for Xiao Zhen." Then he turned to me and said, "This is your first time here. Don't you feel that the villagers treat you poorly?"

When I drink too much, my behavior is out of control. I laughed and said, "It's okay, I'm fine. Don't worry about me."

The old man nodded and said, "I have a troubling matter to tell you. Your family's life base in the village has been destroyed. You must quickly contact the second brother and his wife and ask them to come over."

"The second old couple" refers to my parents, but I didn't understand what the old man said. "Grandpa, what did you say happened to my family?"

The old man said with a stern face: "Growing life base is not a good thing, next time you say this, don't make a mistake."

"Breed chickens?" I was getting more and more confused. I didn't understand why there was a "breeding chicken". Chickens are hatched from eggs, so how could they grow into breeds in Longhua Village?

The old man explained, "It seems your father never told you anything. Planting a Shengji is a form of living burial, which means building a cenotaph for a living person. The purpose is to borrow the blessings formed by the Feng Shui treasure land to bless your family with a safe life and a successful career."

I was stunned and said, "So the graves of my family of three in that forest were deliberately built?" I suddenly sobered up.

Luo Tianbao also brought some hangover soup, placed it next to me and said, "Second Uncle and Second Aunt's seed life base was built after they got married, while your seed life base was built after you turned eighteen. Your family has been living a stable life these years, which is related to the seed life base."

"My father has been diligent and law-abiding in his official duties for many years, and my business is also genuine. What does this have to do with cultivating a life base?"

As soon as these words came out, Luo Tianbao's face changed. The old man sighed and said, "This child has never been home. Don't bother with him." Then he said to me, "Since you came here, have you seen the three of your family's life bases with your own eyes?"

"This..." I said a little embarrassedly, "Grandpa, I really don't understand this. When I saw the grave where my family was buried, I thought it was cursed by someone, so I got angry and..."

"You've broken your way?" As he said this, the old man straightened up involuntarily.

"Yes, I was too reckless. I'm sorry."

"Hey, what's the use of saying sorry to me? You're the one who's hurting your own family." The old man sighed helplessly.

Seeing how worried they looked, I actually didn't care. I would never believe such words anyway. To be an official or to run a business, one has to rely on hard work to gain the reputation and appreciation of others. What does this have to do with cultivating a life base?

However, no matter how foolish I was, I wouldn't be so foolish as to refute this matter in front of them, so I pretended to be heartbroken and said, "Old Master, do we have any other way to make amends?"

"We need to get your parents here quickly. The broken grave requires the whole family to gather together to dispel the evil spirit. I hope there's still a chance to remedy this." The old man waved his hand and said, "No more talk. Contact your parents quickly."

I couldn't help laughing when I saw how serious he was talking, so I went out of the house, took out my cell phone and called my father. I couldn't refuse the old man, so I had to go through the motions.

But my father's call didn't go through, so I called home again . This time it was my third aunt who answered the phone. I said, "Third aunt, where's my mom?"

"Xiao Zhen, please come back quickly. Something happened at home."

My heart skipped a beat and I asked, "What's wrong?"

"I don't know which unscrupulous person reported your father for abusing his power, saying that he had given you a lot of decoration business. The people from the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection have already taken action against your father..." At this point, my third aunt lowered her voice and said, "Your father can no longer go home. You might even be in trouble." My legs went weak and I almost knelt down.

The retribution came too quickly, so quickly that it seemed unreal.

I slapped myself hard in the mouth and it hurt, which proved that I was not dreaming.

"Aunt, please take good care of my mother. I will be back as soon as possible."

"Your mother didn't tell you about this because she was afraid you'd worry too much about getting into trouble while driving. Don't rush back yet. Talk to your Fifth Grandfather about what to do."

It seems that except for me, my parents know about the abilities of the Fifth Old Master.

Thinking of this, I hung up the phone and was about to go into the house. When I turned around, I saw Luo Tianbao. He was standing behind me without saying a word.

I was startled by him, and then I heard Luo Tianbao say, "Second uncle, something happened?"

I was speechless and could only nod.

"Do you know now that planting a life base is no joke?"

"Brother, I, I really want to chop off my head." I said with great regret.

"Oh! Now that it has happened, don't think too much about it. We have to make up for it quickly," he said.

"But my dad can't come over anymore, what should I do?"

Luo Tianbao said, "There's a solution to any difficulty, it just depends on the cost. Your method has only damaged the Feng Shui of the base, but it hasn't broken the root, so there's a chance to remedy the situation, but you'll have to suffer a little."

"As long as my dad is fine, I can do anything." I said gritting my teeth.

Luo Tianbao thought for a moment and said, "Okay, let's do this right away. Take a shovel and dig up the graves of my second uncle and second aunt. Wrap the buried clothes in black cloth and send them to the ancestral hall. Then we'll take the next step."

I immediately opened two living graves as he requested, and sure enough, in the coffins inside the graves were the clothes worn by my parents. I wrapped them in black cloth and sent them to the ancestral hall.

The mourning hall had actually been set up in the ancestral hall . The most obvious thing was that there were photos of the parents placed on the mourning table. Although they were color photos, they still looked awkward.

Luo Tianbao said, "There are two paper figures in the inner room. Put the clothes on them according to their gender."

When I entered the inner room of the mourning hall, I saw two paper people. The one with a pair of red rouge on her face was a girl, and the one without rouge was a boy. Except for the wrong color of the facial features and limbs, the shapes of the paper people looked very much like real people. Under the dim light, it looked quite weird . I bravely took out my father's clothes and helped the "man" up. Just as I was about to put the clothes on it, I heard the paper man actually sigh slightly.
