In Zhaojia Village, when doing white things, there is another custom, an important custom, which is commonly known as "crossing the Yin Bridge" locally.

Listening to the mouthy mother-in-law in the village, this crossing the Yin Bridge is very interesting, and at night, the whole village will come to see the excitement.

Although Zhou Xiaolong is a disciple of Xuanmen, he doesn't know what the custom of "crossing the Yin Bridge" is?

It's weird to hear this name, it seems to be sending the spirits of the yang world to the spirit world, which is probably what it means!

Because he felt that the death of the Zhao family's grandmother was a little strange, Zhou Xiaolong kept standing in the Zhao family's ancestral house, looking at it, there were many people busy inside and out, and no one cared about him.

The Huoju Taoist priest was also quite busy, directing the Zhao family to do this and that like a general, probably preparing to cross the Yin Bridge at night.

Ouyang Lei, the little fat man, couldn't stand his hunger and thirst, so he secretly went to the kitchen to forage for food, Xue Gang also went to follow the Zhao family to be busy, and Zhou Xiaolong had been secretly observing the middle-aged Taoist priest.

I saw that the Huoju Taoist priest tied a person's head with paper and straw, and asked people to bring a wooden chair with a backrest, and on the chair was covered with a piece of clothing that the grandmother of the Zhao family often wore, and then fixed the paper on the back of the chair.

The eyes, nose and mouth were also painted on the head of the paper man, and then a black cloth was tied to the paper head, which looked very much like the shape of the wolf grandmother, but it was much more terrifying than the wolf grandmother.

Zhou Xiaolong guessed that this was actually a prop, and this chair probably represented the dead grandmother of the Zhao family.

The Huoju Taoist priest asked people to bring four rectangular desks, which looked like the long desks of a small school.

The tables were put together to form a rectangular plan, and wooden planks were placed on both sides to create the shape of a bridge.

After basically preparing this, it was completely dark, and someone set off a cannon battle at the door, as if the crossing of the Yin Bridge was about to begin.

When crossing the Yin Bridge, the filial son needs to kneel on the ground with the tablet to welcome the dead, and the Huoju Taoist priest begins to chant, and the relatives and friends support the dead, in fact, the dead is the chair that refers to.

With the help of relatives and friends, the filial son carried the prop chair on his back and walked over the small bridge built by the table, which is called crossing the Yin Bridge.

It's easy to say, but if you watch it live, the atmosphere is really eerie!!

The most promising filial son of the Zhao family is naturally Zhao Zengxi.

Crossing the Yin Bridge officially began, Zhao Zengxi walked at the back with the spiritual seat in his hand, there were two relatives in front, and the Taoist priest led the way in the front.

The Huoju Taoist priest was quite like that, with his eyes closed, ringing the bell as he walked, and sprinkling paper money in his hand.

The bridge, which was made of tables and planks, was arched, and it was unsafe to walk on it for the first time, so the Taoist priest of Huoju was familiar with the road and quickly walked over, and two relatives also walked over.

Just when everyone was waiting for Zhao Zengxi to pass over with a chair on his back, he fell in the center of the bridge and fell on his knees on the table.

At first, everyone thought that the table was slippery, but the Taoist priest saw it, he was also experienced, and he hurriedly said: "The grandmother of the Zhao family doesn't want to leave yet, it's nostalgia for everyone, so let the filial son go again!" ”

The people in the village are all in the mood to watch the excitement, and it doesn't matter if you go a few more times.

However, when Zhao Zengxi crossed the bridge for the second time with a chair on his back, he still walked to the same position and knelt down again.

The Huoju Taoist priest couldn't stand it anymore, and found three relatives to help Zhao Zengxi walk in the chair together, but this third time, strange things happened again, and Zhao Zengxi still fell in the same position......

If you can't cross the Yin Bridge, according to superstition, it means that people's souls can't go to the secluded mansion, that is, they can't be reincarnated.

Therefore, this can be a big deal for everyone in the Zhao family.

Some people may ask, since Zhao Zengxi always wrestles with a chair on his back, why not change someone to cross the bridge with a chair on his back?

It's not impossible to change people, but if you change someone else at this time, it means that the filial son who carries the chair is not filial enough.

Zhao Zengxi is a big man with a head and a face in Zhaojia Village, and he can't even do such a small thing, wouldn't it be a shame to be thrown into his hometown, not just a very embarrassing problem.

This scene may also be the first time that the Huoju Taoist priest has encountered it in his life, and he was also panicked, so he came over to discuss with Zhao Zengxi, and had to use a special method.

The Huoju Taoist priest tied the chair to Zhao Zengxi's body with a rope, so that it was finally firm.

Moreover, in order to be foolproof, the Huoju Taoist priest also asked four relatives to stand one on one side of each of the four directions, holding Zhao Zengxi and the chair together.

Even if five people are tied together, crossing the bridge together like this, they shouldn't be able to wrestle, right?

The villagers of Zhaojia Village can be regarded as having seen the excitement tonight, and they have never seen such a large formation of crossing the Yin Bridge, but strange things have happened again, and this time it is still an irreparable failure.

On the small bridge set up by the table, perhaps there were too many people standing on it, but there were six people in total.

When crossing the bridge for the fourth time, the table finally couldn't bear so much weight, and the whole bridge fell down with a "bang", and everyone on it, including the Taoist priest, fell to the ground, and even the chair was broken.

The relatives who were standing below and watching hurriedly went over to help Zhao Zengxi, except for the chair, everyone was fine, but the Taoist priest fell to the corner of the table and shed a lot of blood.

As a result, the scene was a mess......

Today, Zhou Xiaolong originally came to Zhaojia Village with the mentality of coming to see the lively banquet, but he didn't expect that there would be such a mess? !

Ouyang Lei didn't know when he had run back, and quietly walked to Zhou Xiaolong's side, his mouth was full of oil, and he didn't know what good things he had stolen.

Although he was full, Ouyang Lei didn't see the strange things that crossed the Yin Bridge, so he missed a lot of interesting things.

"Master, apprentice, I'm back," Ouyang Lei said happily, "Hey, Master, why do you feel that the atmosphere here is a little wrong?!" ”

"Da Lei, what are you doing, why are you oily?" Zhou Xiaolong glanced at Ouyang Lei and asked.

"I went to the back kitchen, opened a big bowl, hey, there was a steamed big fat chicken in it, I pulled off the two chicken thighs and ate it, but it was fragrant, Master, how about I take you to eat it now?"

"I don't have an appetite now......"

"Master, why is this so weird here, is there something wrong?!"

At this time, Xue Gang squeezed over from behind the crowd, and he said to Zhou Xiaolong: "Xiaolong, you saw it just now across the Yin Bridge, it doesn't feel right?!! ”

Ouyang Lei asked Xue Gang: "What, what's wrong?!" ”

Xue Gang didn't pay attention to Ouyang Lei at all, and said to Zhou Xiaolong: "Come with me to see Mr. Zhao, it is estimated that he fell not lightly ......"

Ouyang Lei stood behind and bragged to Xue Gang: "With my master here, what else do you have to worry about?!" ”
