Covered Grave Severance

阴宅风水

Feng Shui masters first identify the corpse when examining graves. The distinction between male and female graves is not difficult to know. Male graves have white roots at the base, while female graves only have mud at the roots. Male grave roots go straight to the bottom, whereas female grave roots are curved and float in the mud. Hard grass grows on graves of those who die of old age, while tender branches grow on graves of those who die young. Curved vines on a grave indicate hanging or drowning. Flowers on a grave suggest promiscuity. Straight trees in the grave indicate officials, while slanted trees indicate thieves. Trees shading the grave prevent grass from growing, indicating the deceased was a prisoner. Slanted trees indicate unjust death. Leaning left indicates a reversed grave, while leaning right indicates a grave of those who died of injury or disaster. Hanging deaths and diseases are certainly true. Graves with the left foot pulled out belong to servants, while those with the right foot pulled out belong to maids. How to identify red, black, and white coffins? Teach you to carefully observe the grass and mud. Red coffins have messy hair and black feet; white coffins originally have sparse vegetation all over. If there is no coffin, what does it look like? Messy grass like hemp threads, black and gray soil. Looking across the mountain at a forest of graves, I will tell you one by one from the beginning. Black graves on top are ancestral graves, only this one brings prosperity to descendants. A mound of yellow graves brings great wealth, white graves bring initial wealth followed by poverty. A mound that is half yellow and half green is not good, children and grandchildren leave without any trace. A mound that is half green and half blue can be viewed, peaceful in front and prosperous in the back. A white mound indicates widows and widows, see who has children and grandchildren. Grass heads facing east are male graves, grass heads facing west are female graves. East grass without west means men prosper alone, west grass without east means women prosper alone. Grass in front without back means no prosperity, grass in back without front means young people prosper. Green grass on the grave means no poverty, red and withered grass means no poverty. No grass on the altar in front of the grave means death when buried. If not dead, then legal disputes, or loss of livestock and wealth, or illness. Grass hanging outside on the grave head indicates residence away from home, yellow soil on the grave indicates disease and plague. Insects and ants coming out of the grave indicate epilepsy and sudden illness. Moisture and tightness on the grave without a coffin, dead grass on the grave means poverty to the end. Collapsing grave head means sparse descendants, no grass on the grave means extinction of family wealth. If vines缠绕 in front of the grave, family disputes can certainly be known. Throw a steamed bun with sticky rice scattered, this grave will certainly benefit descendants. Concave grave head indicates family decline, crumbling grave feet bring sorrow to descendants. If the grave looks like an ash heap or cow dung color, it is certain that the coffin is full of water-soaked corpses. If insects pushing eggs are seen in front of the grave, the body is covered in soil like being dipped in sauce. Pulling up the grass roots smells like medicine, snakes and insects inside the coffin are unbearable to mention. Do not be surprised by the color of rotten mud, blind loaches accompany the cement. Only on graves of the rich and noble, the grass is dignified, elegant, and neat. In spring, love green; in summer, love green; in autumn, love grass seeds forming branches. In winter, yellow like gold color, this grave will certainly prosper descendants. In spring, avoid yellow; in summer, avoid black; in autumn, if not auspicious, see tender branches. In winter, if green and blue are seen, family decline and death, disasters follow. Feng Shui masters first recognize the mountain before the grave, looking at the dragon, the vein, and the facing mountain. Recognize the water, the dragon, and the site, what difficulty is there in three feet of soil? First, the incoming dragon must form the site truly; second, the facing mountain must have affection; third, the city walls must contain the six beauties; fourth, the dragon and tiger must be balanced. If one of the four is missing, the formation is incomplete, tell the contemporary masters to evaluate carefully. The Green Dragon embraces but is not high, children and grandchildren produce heroes generation after generation. The White Tiger and Green Dragon are even, children and grandchildren wear brocade clothes generation after generation. Bamboo roots in front of the grave flow straight, the deceased cries day and night. It certainly means water roots penetrate to the bottom, children and grandchildren lose all good fields and cattle. Having a dragon but no tiger, the water does not bend, certainly knowing moss fills the coffin. Must recognize single extraction, do not use intention, the middle son leaves home far away. Having a tiger but no dragon is generally irrelevant, this grave has floral patterns on the bones. The eldest branch certainly knows leaving home and extinction, the deceased in the tomb cries to heaven. The facing mountain is higher than the grave, this grave certainly has few descendants. Those who bury people should know the home is extinct, overturning the coffin and coffin lid, water floods deep. If the facing mountain sees a sheep hoof shape, judge them as rebellious and disrupting human ethics. The deceased cries in sorrow day and night, rebellious wind sounds are heard everywhere. If ponds are seen connected in front of the grave, the deceased suffers torment day and night. Bones rot, head tilts, overturning coffin boards, widows pass down empty rooms generation after generation. Pits in front and pits in back, the deceased inside cannot open their mouth. Bones and remains covered in mud, descendants certainly die young. Deep pits in front of the grave are hardest to bear, rats and snakes hide in the coffin inside. Bones incomplete, feet inverted, women promiscuous, throwing themselves to other men. Side and protruding head in front of the grave, White Tiger holds a fishing hook, water夹洲. Mountains go away without looking back, the deceased inverted, feet flipped to head. Stealing without end, home broken, day as a military thief, night stealing cows. Water should not reverse body in front of the grave, source without water lacks wealth stars. Deceased's soil and mud fill the coffin wet, certainly meaning children and grandchildren are poor generation after generation. Water dripping on the head in front of the grave is strictly forbidden, loaches are inside the grave. Boards rot, soil collapses, bones like powder, certainly knowing yellow swelling and extinction of roots. Left shooting in front of the grave is hardest for the eldest, right shooting means the second son definitely leaves home. Shooting from the middle means the third son extinct, thieves and plagues outside the door. And know that roots penetrate all over, already become powder piled with dung beetles. Immortals looking at graves have their secrets, the compass shines on the dead corpse. Po Jun arrives at the position, entangled by vines, the entangled tree is certainly on the south side. Metal bureau west light, water bureau epidemic, throw into river or hang oneself to enter the yellow springs. Water arrives at east facing, black ants gather, south winding certainly moves epidemic. West arrives piercing waist and back, north arrives rotting into mud balls. Wen Qu star's water arrives at the grave, the deceased freely in wet mud. In Shen, Zi, Chen years, the middle son dies, eldest son and eldest grandson both see凶. Descendants long see chronic illness, hunched backs and mute children emerge from among them. Lian Zhen white ants enter the coffin, eating all the deceased's bones. Good soil, hall gathers sand and is bright, three reasons for external protection coming from afar. Carefully look at the mountain and also at the water, judging people's fortune and misfortune is as spiritual as ghosts. Thousands of scriptures and volumes are all profound, reading this scripture thoroughly achieves the function.
