Feng Shui Stories and Folk Tales (I)
Cocoon in the TombMany years ago, I worked for an industrial group in my hometown and heard a Feng Shui story about the chairman. The narrator is the chairman’s brother-in-law, who was an eyewitness to the incident.The chairman was born in a rural area in another province and his education level is not particularly high. When he was sixteen or seventeen years old, in order to make a living, he left his hometown and came to Guangxi with his relatives. He went to the city and worked as a furniture carpenter, struggling at the bottom of society to earn some hard-earned money. Two years later, the chairman's father passed away and was buried on a small mound not far from the village. The small mound is like a carp with both form and spirit, with a head and a tail. It swims vividly out from the green hills and plays in the clear and vast paddy fields in front of the village. The chairman's father was buried at Liyuzui, with a slow-moving river flowing in front of it. Many years later, the chairman became rich, and some Feng Shui masters came to inspect this place and said that it was a "golden basin that breeds carp". Not long after that, the chairman had the opportunity to make furniture for the city leaders. Because of his good craftsmanship and interpersonal skills, he was quite popular among the leaders. Later, with the help of his leader, he was successfully recruited into a state-owned enterprise and gradually rose to prominence. In his forties, he became the chairman of a group company. He also made the group's business flourish and became a prominent figure in the city. The chairman is a strong and confident man and does not really believe in Feng Shui. When he was at the peak of his career, he brought all his family members out and arranged for them to work and live in the city. As a result, every year during the Qingming Festival, people have to travel more than a thousand kilometers back and forth to visit their father’s grave. The chairman found it troublesome, so he went against the majority opinion and decided to move his father's remains from his hometown to the cemetery in the city. The ones who went back to handle the relocation of the graves during the Double Ninth Festival that year were the chairman's brother-in-law and younger brother. When they led several relatives to dig up their father's grave, a thin mist suddenly came out from it, which made people feel puzzled. However, something even more unexpected happened later. Next, they opened the coffin, which was not completely rotten, and were stunned - there was a large white cocoon inside! My brother-in-law was quite brave and took a careful look. He found that his father's skeleton should be wrapped in this "cocoon". The thing that forms the "cocoon" shell is like a fishing net, wrapped layer by layer. It is neither a plant root nor a plastic fishing net. It is very tough and cannot be torn apart by hand. It is really woven from silk as thick as a matchstick. At that time, some relatives said that there were strange phenomena at the tomb and that it might be a Feng Shui treasure land, so they advised not to move it but to restore it on the spot. The younger brother hurriedly called the chairman's cell phone to report the strange thing that had happened. The chairman still insisted on moving the grave, so everyone went back to the village, got sickles, and slowly cut the "cocoon" layer by layer. My father's bones inside were very clean, white and bright. After being placed in a golden urn, they were taken to Guangxi and buried in a cemetery. After the grave was moved, the chairman was in constant legal trouble and the group's business went into a slump. When I heard the chairman's brother-in-law tell this story, the group was going downhill and employee salaries were being reduced again and again. Half a year later, I left for another company. Within a few years, such a large group company was wiped out. |
