Chapter 210 It’s Snowing
Lu Heyu nodded gently: "Much better."
"Go back and rest early. Ziqi and I will watch the snow." After saying that, Su Nuobai jumped onto the peach tree, but after she got up, she closed the barrier in the yard.
The temperature in the yard gradually became comfortable spring and it didn't feel cold at all.
Lu Heyu smiled at the person sitting on the tree and swinging his legs: "You should also rest early."
Su Nuobai lowered her head and nodded at him.
Ziqi watched Lu Heyu return to the room, turned his head to look at Su Nuobai, and said nothing.
A night of snow covered the entire Shengjing city in white, giving it a unique beauty.
When Su Nuobai was about to go out, he ran into Lu Heyu who was also going out.
"Are you going out?" Lu Heyu looked at her and asked.
"Yes, I need to help the Yao family find a grave." Su Nuobai nodded.
"Hu Lili, where is your young lady's cloak?" Lu Heyu looked at the people in the yard.
Hu Lili looked depressed. How could a cultivator like her be afraid of the cold?
However, she still resigned herself to her fate and went to get her a sky-blue cloak, which unexpectedly clashed with the color of Lu Heyu's cloak.
She hesitated whether to change into another one.
Su Nuobai grabbed it and put it on: "Okay, let's go out!"
Lu Heyu looked at the cloak on her, and the corners of his lips curled up: "Should I give it to you?"
"No need, I'll just wait for Yao Zhen at the stall, you go and do your work!" Su Nuobai said and walked towards the street.
Feng Zhi bowed to him and chased after him. Xiao Jiang and Mo Bao were reluctant to go out today.
On very cold days, they prefer to stay in the yard.
Lu Heyu looked at her back with some regret. It would have been great if he could go out with her today.
Su Nuobai stood in front of his stall but didn't set up his stall, which surprised Zhou Xiaoge: "Master Su, you're not setting up your stall today?"
"I'm going to look at a grave for someone today, so I probably won't be setting up a stall." She said, looking at the stall next to her: "Uncle Jia isn't coming today?"
"It's probably not going to snow this heavily," said Brother Zhou.
Yao Zhen's carriage arrived soon. He lifted the curtain and looked over: "Master Su, I'm so sorry to have you come here in such heavy snow."
"It's okay, it's just snowing now. It might be difficult for you to bury the body before it freezes." Su Nuobai looked at the snow outside.
"I'm also worried about this and don't know what to do. My custom coffin won't be finished anytime soon, so I'm afraid it's too late."
"Can you tell our ancestors to wait until spring to bury them?" Yao Zhen was really afraid that his ancestors were still angry.
Su Nuobai: "You should burn more paper money for them and explain the reason. Just try to choose a shady place to place their remains."
"Okay, okay, these are all small things. I will buy them and cook them for them when I come back." Yao Zhen said with a smile.
It was snowing today, so the carriage moved much slower than usual. It wasn't until the afternoon that it arrived at the first shady spot that Yao Zhen had chosen.
Su Nuobai looked at Feng Zhi and said, "You can take the compass and follow me to see it."
Feng Zhi nodded, took out the compass from his bag, and followed her.
Yao Zhen pointed to a piece of land and said, "This is one, and there are two more nearby. The place we chose for our ancestral grave was far away and remote, so we didn't even know when something happened."
"This time I want to choose a place that's not too far away, so if anything happens I can be the first to know."
Su Nuobai didn't say anything and began to check the grave.
He raised his hand and swept away the fallen snow on the ground, revealing the original appearance of the land underneath.
He squatted down, reached out and picked up some soil and rubbed it gently with his fingertips. The soil was wet like mud and had gravel in it. It contained moisture and was exposed to rain outside. It was not a good place to bury the dead.
"This land is not suitable. It's too damp."
Feng Zhi squatted down and rubbed some soil, which corresponded to the internal moisture mentioned in the tomb.
Yao Zhen didn't say much. He took the two of them into the carriage and asked the coachman to head towards another cemetery.
Su Nuobai got off the carriage and looked at the surrounding mountains.
The mountain on the right looks like a tiger crouching with its head raised, which is called "carrying a corpse". This alone indicates that it is not a good place for a burial site.
"Next."
Yao Zhen felt a little unsure. These three graves were the best in the surrounding area. If the third one was not suitable, he would need to look for another one.
"Master Su, is there something wrong with the Yinzhai just now?"
"There's something wrong with the mountain. The mountain on the right side of the cemetery is called the White Tiger. If the White Tiger is docile and the mountain is submissive, it will be a relatively good cemetery."
"But on the right side of the mountain range, there is a white tiger squatting with its head held high. This is called a corpse-carrying tomb. It is an evil tomb." Su Nuobai explained to him.
Yao Zhen took a breath and said, "If you don't know how to look at it, you would really think this grave is pretty good."
"There is one last place, but you don't seem to be very satisfied with it?" Su Nuobai saw that he originally liked the second grave.
Yao Zhen nodded. "The last area has too many rocks and no grass grows, but they told me it was a good place. I don't even know what's so good about it."
Su Nuobai: "There are five types of mountains that are not suitable for burial sites. One type is a barren mountain, which means a mountain without vegetation. Only when vegetation is lush and the soil is lustrous can the five elements be harmoniously balanced."
"But Tongshan is just the opposite. It cannot produce the five elements. If used as a grave, disasters will occur and blessings will be eliminated."
"Ah! Then let's not go! I feel that the mountain ahead is just as you described." Yao Zhen was really unsure.
"Since we're here, it's probably okay to go and take a look. There's another thing going on here. The rock has a soft texture, as smooth as an eggshell."
"Although no grass grows here, you can still dig out five-colored soil, which makes it a very good burial site." Su Nuobai comforted.
Yao Zhen: "Now that you mention it, I remember that this stone is indeed very smooth. As for whether it can be smoothed, I'd like you to take a look at it."
The carriage stopped at the foot of a hill.
After they got off the carriage, Yao Zhen pointed to the mountain ahead and said, "The last piece is on this mountain. Please come up with me."
After he finished speaking, he led the way. After walking for about a cup of tea, they finally arrived at the place Yao Zhen mentioned.
This place is not barren, it just happens that there is no grass growing in this cemetery.
Su Nuobai was not in a hurry to look at the surrounding mountains, but asked Feng Zhi to use a palm to lift the soil to take a look.
Feng Zhi slapped his palm hard, and a piece of land was turned over.
Su Nuobai looked at the color of the soil inside and shook his head helplessly: "Master Yao, this piece of land is not suitable unless it has five-colored soil."
Yao Zhendao did not feel any regrets. If it really didn't work, he would tell his ancestors and ask them to wait a little longer.
Coming down from the mountain, Su Nuobai sat in the carriage, opened the curtain and looked out, and accidentally saw a place: "Stop."
