Chapter 13: The Light at the Celestial Cover
Gao Fei went home this time to make the family very happy, and I felt that the sadness that pervaded the family had also diluted a lot. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info accompanied his parents for more than an hour, and Gao Fei proposed the idea of going to see the third uncle.
There is a rule in the countryside that within 7 days after the death of a family member, if a relative comes to pay respects, he can open the coffin and take a look. But after 7 days, it won't work, the coffin will be nailed to death, and no one can look at it anymore.
The ancestral hall of the Gao family is very large, after all, it was built by hundreds of Gao families. It enshrines the ancestors of the Gao family, although Gao Fei has not heard of any big figures of the Gao family in history, but this does not prevent the Gao family from revering their ancestors.
After arriving at the Gao family ancestral hall, Gao Fei obviously saw that the ancestral hall had been renovated again, and it was different from the last time he came. The ancestral hall will be renovated every few years, and the money will be raised by each Gao family, which has become a law, and no Gao family has ever objected.
There were several uncles and uncles in the ancestral hall at this time. I was obviously happy to see Gao Fei's appearance, and warmed up with a warm greeting, which made Gao Fei feel the sincerity and affection in the family again. For wandering wanderers, what could be more touching than this.
"Second uncle, I want to see the third uncle. Goofy said to the eldest relative.
The second uncle nodded and led Goofy into the innermost part of the ancestral hall.
At this time, the ancestral hall was covered with white silk and wreaths. There is a small Dharma table in the middle, on which is placed the spiritual seat of the third uncle, as well as incense burners, fruits and so on.
There was a large white cloth hanging behind the altar, and Gao Fei knew that the coffin of the third uncle was placed behind the white cloth, and Gao Fei had seen a similar scene when he was a child.
At that time, I was ignorant and didn't know anything, and I once took advantage of people's absences to steal the fruit on it. Of course, after being caught in the end, he was beaten very badly by his family.
The coffin is a very ordinary kind, long and square. But the color on the coffin puzzled Goofy. The coffins I have seen before are basically black, and the special ones have also seen ripe brown. But the coffin of the third uncle was red, the color of blood.
Regarding Gao Fei's question, the second uncle also shook his head and said that he didn't know. only said that it was instructed by the third uncle before his death, and as for why, the family did not dare to ask.
The second uncle pushed the coffin out a little, just revealing the position of a head.
The old man lying inside no longer had the blood of a living person, his hair was dry and withered, his eyes were tightly closed, his dark lips were slightly open, and his sallow and sallow face was covered with a skull, as if there was no trace of flesh and blood in it. At this time, the third uncle had already lost his previous prestige.
After all, it was the first time to see the deceased elder so closely, and even Gao Fei, who had already seen ghosts, was a little uncomfortable.
Signaling Erbo to take the coffin, he exchanged a few words with the elders, and then Gao Fei got up and left the ancestral hall.
Gao Fei, who was walking on the road, suddenly stopped, and then said silently:
"I knew that the third uncle was not an ordinary person. ”
It turned out that after the second uncle opened the coffin of the third uncle, Gao Fei not only saw the face of the third uncle, but also saw the yellow light emitted from his heavenly spirit cover.
The light was dim, as if it would dissipate after a while. But what it represents matters.
Since Gao Fei was promoted to level 2, he has been able to see things that ordinary people can't see. For example, the light emitted from the cover of the human heavenly spirit is one of them.
After Gao Fei's research, it was found that this light seemed to represent a person's luck and status.
For example, the light above most ordinary people's heads is basically white light. The white light is very rich when mixed well, and the white light is very dim if it is mixed badly.
And with a bit of status, the light overhead will turn blue. Goofy saw that the top of the head of the highest position was dark blue, and the man was the chief of a police station.
And the third uncle, who had been dead for several days, still had a yellow glow on the top of his head, a color he had never seen before. You can think of how powerful he must have been when he was alive.
At this time, Gao Fei became more and more interested in the life of this third uncle.
