Folklore simulation, starting with the mortician

The stakes that had been erected were suddenly turned upside down. Not only were the other carpenters baffled, but even Mr. Lin and Lu Junyi couldn't understand how this had happened so suddenly.

Li Feng remained calm on the surface, but inwardly he felt relieved, knowing that the matter had been settled.

Originally, I had planned to use the Green Cicada Coin to buy luck. It was a side method I obtained from the bone-reading and back-pushing techniques. There are all sorts of strange things in the world, especially strange things that carry luck, which are also imbued with some spirituality.

Although these strange objects possess a kind of spirituality, they cannot escape the pursuit of fame and fortune. Therefore, once the Qingfu coin is used, the mother and child will inevitably be reversed.

Now it's done!

Seeing the many people looking at him with suspicion, Li Feng didn't want to explain further. There was too much information involved, and it wasn't appropriate to say more.

That is, the girl in the rain stared at Li Feng for a long time, perhaps guessing something.

Mr. Lin and Lu Junyi exchanged a few words and then said nothing more. As for the monkey, it stayed in the backyard and dared not go anywhere. It dared not say anything absurd now.

Once the stake was erected, they began to press the birth chart. Naturally, the birth chart had to be pressed against the master's birth chart, and there was no one else but Li Feng.

Without much hesitation, Li Feng wrote down the eight characters and filled them under the stake, thus completing the task.

In his spare time, the master craftsman began to make preparations for expanding the courtyard by two sections.

The current temple is just a gate leading to the main hall. There are no buildings behind the main hall, only a tall room where Li Feng lives.

There was a small courtyard in the middle, with two side rooms on the left and right. The west side room, needless to say, was a large communal bed for all the corpses to lie on. The east side room was a bit too hasty, with three rooms simply divided by wooden planks.

Mr. Lin, Lu Junyi, and Yu Yatou lived there, along with the monkey.

I had thought that now that there are more people, we should expand the courtyard and build a hall in the back to enshrine a deity.

As for who the deity should be invited, Li Feng hasn't made any arrangements yet. He plans to ask Mr. Lin first and wait for Mr. Lin to make a decision.

Upon hearing Li Feng's words that he needed to invite another deity, the master craftsman hesitated. He took a puff of his old pipe, choked a few times, and then said, "This isn't difficult, but we'll need to prepare quite a few materials."

Li Feng nodded. He was not stingy and had accumulated quite a bit of savings, including his own and what his master had left him.

Don't be fooled by the fact that this cheap master didn't pass on any skills; his possessions were truly substantial. If Li Feng hadn't seen his master's biography, he probably wouldn't have been able to find his master's hidden stash of wealth.

This time, he simply brought everything out, which laid the foundation for the mortician profession in Beiding Prefecture. It was a great achievement. Although that's what he said, Li Feng still respectfully offered incense and kowtowed to his master, hoping that his cheap master would at least bless him.

Judging from the fate of that grand master, it's clear that the world is about to descend into chaos; it's just a matter of when it will affect their small town.

Once the price was agreed upon, the master craftsman said goodbye and left to prepare the necessary materials, with the project expected to take about a month.

During this time, Li Feng was also thinking about discussing with Mr. Lin which deity should be invited into the shrine. This deity should naturally be of a higher rank than the Earth God, so that it can provide support in the future.

Thinking about this, Li Feng pulled Mr. Lin and Lu Junyi aside to discuss which deity should be invited here.

Mr. Lin seemed to have already thought about it, so he picked up the conversation and said, "Originally, there was only you in this temple, but now there is a new person. Yesterday, we also had a divination done based on the feng shui, and it turned out to be this Li Huo Ming Tang. It seems that we should invite a righteous god related to the fire element."

After listening to Mr. Lin's words, Li Feng thought about it for a long time, but relying on his limited knowledge, he couldn't come up with any insights. Even the gods of this world couldn't explain it clearly.

Lu Junyi, standing nearby, chimed in, "What if we hadn't invited Zhurong, the fire god of the south?"

Lu Junyi's words made Li Feng's eyes light up. The name of the God of Fire, Zhu Rong, was indeed impressive, but upon closer inspection, his rank was a bit too high.

Mr. Lin's next words confirmed Li Feng's thoughts: "You're being far too bold. You dare to invite them, but do you think they'll actually come? It's a temple with a single deity; do you think someone like us can persuade such an ancient god?"

"I'm thinking we should invite the Kitchen God. He's someone who can bring peace and stability to the home, which would suit you and your spouse well. He could help you build a home and also harmonize with the auspicious energy of the temple."

Upon hearing Mr. Lin's words, Li Feng couldn't help but nod in agreement. That made sense, and inviting the Kitchen God was perfectly reasonable.

Then Li Feng asked, "But I wonder what the proper procedures are for inviting the Kitchen God?"

Mr. Lin waved his hand, "There's no rush. We need to wait for the craftsman to come tomorrow, and then we can discuss with him how to arrange things to satisfy the Kitchen God!"

Lu Junyi also stepped forward and nodded, "That makes sense. People in the business know these rules. I can find a clue for you."

After saying that, Lu Junyi whistled, and in no time, the monkey came running towards them with its butt sticking out. When Lu Junyi saw it, he scolded, "You greedy good-for-nothing, you'll have to remember to watch your mouth in the future. And don't just sit there, go and do me a errand. Here's a drink for you."

Seeing Lu Junyi bring him a gourd of wine, the monkey was overjoyed and gulped down several mouthfuls. His face turned bright red, and he ran out in a flash.

"Hehe, I'll see the letter tomorrow!"

Lu Junyi smiled.

Seeing that the matter was settled, Li Feng felt a weight lifted from his heart. He then gave the instructions to everyone, "Now that the matter is settled, the master craftsman has given his reply, and it should be completed in about a month. We need to ask Mr. Lin to do a feng shui consultation, Brother Lu to supervise the construction, and Yu'er is meticulous, so she can help keep an eye on the purchasing work."

Hearing Li Feng's words, the others nodded in agreement.

After everyone else had left, Li Feng sat alone in the courtyard, gazing at the somewhat mottled corner of the wall. He sighed, realizing that he had been in this world for many years and only now felt that he had a foothold.

As Mr. Lin said, only with deep roots can one go far!

Li Feng hadn't looked far when he felt a pair of cold hands on his shoulders, which startled him!
