Chapter 3 Shake the head

[The book continues from the above, the last book said that Mu Qingming and Mo Han chatted, talked about the origin of the dragon lock people, and when they were chatting, the courtyard door was knocked on, and the two went out and saw that the person who came turned out to be Lin Wanyin. led out Lin Wanyin to report the funeral, and Mu Qingming came to the door to offer condolences, but in fact, he secretly observed carefully, is Lin Shixuan's death related to the Dao of Eternal Life? After some investigation, he did not find out what the other party's death had to do with the Immortal Dao. 】

The night wind whistled and blew past the gate of the small courtyard of the Mu family, bringing a burst of sadness.

Mu Qingming and Mo Han were both stunned suddenly, and they were silent for a while; Not long ago, in order to ensure the smooth completion of the task, Wen Ji carried out a two-headed deception in the Lin Mansion, luring Mrs. Lin to drug Lin Wanyin, and coercing Lao Xu who pretended to be Lin Wanjin, and instigated Lin Shixuan to drug Lin Wanyin.

The consequence of this was that not long after Lin Wanyin was taken away, Mrs. Lin, who woke up and learned that Lin Wanyin had been taken away by the Immortal Dao, was heartbroken, and she couldn't think about it for a while, and she hanged herself with grief and despair.

Then Lin Wanjin naturally failed to save him, and Lin Shixuan was angry for a while, and he was so angry that he lay in bed for a long time and couldn't get up. During this period, Mu Qingming went to visit once, and after seeing Lin Shixuan's rapid aging at a speed visible to the human eye, he felt guilty.

Although Mu Qingming is a dragon locker, he has a heart disease, and even Mu Qingming is helpless, so he has to prescribe him some conditioning medicine, but he has to think of it himself to cure it.

Subsequently, the competitors of the Lin family learned of the great changes in the Lin family one after another, so they took people up the mountain and forcibly robbed the mine with weapons, giving the Lin family a robbery. All the mines of the Lin family, in less than three days, only ten tin mines in the old county were preserved.

Originally, all this was already worse for the Lin family, but I didn't expect Lin Shixuan to be angry again at this moment, and suddenly died.

Under the many griefs, I must say that there is nothing to be thankful about, that is, Lin Wanyin's body is getting better and better under the prescription prepared by Mu Qingming, not only can he walk without the help of others, but he no longer coughs for a long time, and his complexion has improved little by little.

But so what? It is no longer possible to get back the lives of Lin Wanjin and Lin Shixuan.

There were a few dog barks at the end of the alley, tearing the silence in the alley, and then a cool night breeze blew, blowing the grass and trees replanted in the small courtyard of the Mu family, as if crying sadly for the news of Lin Shixuan's death.

Mu Qingming, who was stunned in place, stared at Lin Wanyin, who was crying silently, with wide eyes, and guilt swelled in his heart. If he had moved faster at the beginning, the tragedy of the Lin family today might not have happened.

It's just that there is no if at all, and there is no possibility.

After relieving himself, Mu Qingming looked away first and foremost, he didn't dare to look directly at Lin Wanyin's eyes full of grief, as well as the crystal clear tears hanging in the corners of his eyes.

"Young Master Lin, please mourn." After another half an hour, Mu Qingming stretched out his hand and took the mourning sticker made of white paper.

"My father's mourning hall has also been set up, tomorrow is my father's welcome to the third day, and the funeral will begin after noon, and the coffin will go straight to my hometown and old county for burial." After another choked voice, Lin Wanyin held back his tears and whispered to Mu Qingming: "If Young Master Mu has time, he can come to the mansion before noon to worship his father." ”。

Ever since Mu Qingming intervened in his family affairs and rescued him, the two of them have become friends; Although Lin Wanyin's memory of falling for the evil spell had been erased, he still knew that Mu Qingming had rescued him from the people who had abducted him. and also prescribed him a prescription, so that his condition improved after taking a bath with those herbs, which also made Lin Wanyin grateful to Mu Qingming.

Therefore, after his father passed away, he took care of everything in the family, and insisted on coming to report Mu Qingming's funeral in person, and he must send the obituary and funeral notes to Mu Qingming in person.

"I'll go and incense Master Lin early tomorrow morning." Mu Qingming nodded without thinking. Whether it is out of the friendship between the two parties, or for the sake of the face of the dead Lin Wanjin, it is reasonable that he should also go to put incense on Master Lin and pay his condolences to express his sorrow.

"My father will be very happy if he knows about it." A few traces of warmth appeared in Lin Wanyin's heart, and he looked at Mu Qing with gratitude; After saying this, he took his subordinates and left.

In the back, there is still a sadness and pain shrouded in it, which makes people feel a little worried; But it also made Mu Qingming admire.

This young man has undergone several great changes in just a few days, although he is sad, he has not fallen, but at the last moment, he provoked the great good of the Lin family.

is also worthy of Mu Qingming's admiration for him.

As Lin Wanyin and the others left, the sound of dogs barking sounded at the end of the alley again.

"This Lin family is really ill-fated." After watching them disappear into the night, Mo Han frowned and couldn't help but sigh leisurely.

The faint look of shame and sympathy in Mu Qingming's eyes slowly faded, until there was no trace left, and then his gaze became deeper again, looking at the direction of Lin Wanyin's departure, and said leisurely: "What I'm more curious about is whether the Immortal Dao is involved in it?" Is Lin Shixuan's death related to the Immortal Dao that disappeared for a while? ”。

His whisper, as if he was talking to himself, slowly drifted away in the night with the cold night wind......

Early the next morning, Mu Qingming, who hastily ate something, went to Rong Bao Zhai, and after taking a day off, he went around to the area of Xiaoximen Main Street (that is, the middle road of the people), and after turning around on this lively and noisy street, he walked into a funeral parlor, and bought condolence supplies such as a couplet and incense candles, as well as a blue slip written on the middle of the "folded sacrifice × yuan", which was specially used to hold gifts.

After paying, Mu Qing loaded five oceans into it. According to the rules, the gift money given for condolence can only be singular. Then I borrowed a pen and paper from the store and wrote the word "Wu" on the blue stick.

Then he asked the shop guys to help him return home with condolence supplies such as coupling banners and incense candles. After changing into plain clothes, he took the same black robe and Mo Han Miaoyu, as well as Miaotian, with condolence supplies such as a couplet and incense candles, out of the Mu family's small courtyard and headed towards the Lin family.

According to the rules, it is not allowed to wear bright clothes to participate in the mourning, which is also a sign of respect for the deceased.

And Mu Qingming deliberately brought Mo Han, Miaotian and Miaoyu, just to ask them to secretly observe the Lin Mansion and see if this Lin Shixuan's death had anything to do with the Immortal Dao?

When I arrived at the Lin Mansion, I saw that the mansion under the morning light was filled with sadness. All the eaves and doors are hung with mourning flags and white flags. All the lanterns and couplets were replaced with white paper. The sadness that envelops this once quiet mansion is depressing.

When the people of the Lin Mansion saw Mu Qingming coming to the door, they shouted: "Young Master Mu Mansion has arrived!" ”。 Then a group of Ma Xia people strode out, leading Mu Qingming and them towards the courtyard.

Just after passing the weeping flower gate, I saw that in front of the main hall in the courtyard, which was more sad, a spiritual shed had been erected; Because the corpse and coffin are taboo to be parked in broad daylight, for fear of being affected by the sun and the moon, and even more afraid of offending the gods of the heavens, the main hall behind the funeral shed has also been changed into a mourning hall. Looking around, I saw that in the middle of the mourning hall was a "four-cornered" longevity vessel made of four whole wood squares (that is, cover plate longevity material).

When I got closer, I saw that on both sides of this longevity material were painted two golden dragons that were driving the clouds and mist, chasing and teasing the orbs, and the dragon's surroundings were painted with the weapons of the eight immortals of the famous dark eight immortals. In addition, there are many exquisite guqin ancient paintings, plum orchids, chrysanthemums, bamboos and peach pomegranate longevity fruits, as well as "Shoushan Fuhai". All the pictures on the coffin are made of standing powder and gilding techniques, the lines are elegant and smooth, and the color layers are clear and gorgeous and orderly, making the whole coffin solemn and generous.

A table was placed in front of the spirit, white table clothes were hung, and a bowl full of rice, a pair of chopsticks were inserted on it, as well as offerings such as fresh fruits, incense burners, wax tables, and lanterns with long green rays.

Before Lin Shixuan collected the burial, this everlasting lamp must not be extinguished.

When Mo Han handed the couplet in his hand to his subordinates, he curiously tiptoed to take a look, but saw Lin Shixuan lying quietly in the coffin, covered with yellow silk and covered with a white silk scarf. The buttons on the garment had all been cut off and the garment had been tied with a cloth band, but the knot was not broken.

And Lin Shixuan's left hand holds a gold ingot, and his right hand holds a chopstick, commonly known as a dog stick. The corpses were also tied with red thread, mainly hands and feet.

Mo Han had never participated in a human funeral, and this was the first time, so he couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart: "The funeral of human beings is like this." ”。

Just when he wanted to get into his mind, the people under the Lin Mansion who knelt on the left and right of the mourning hall followed Lin Wanyin and wept bitterly. In the blink of an eye, the sound of mournful cries filled the entire mourning hall, and the crows that had just landed on the roof screamed and fluttered their wings.

And the subordinate standing next to the spirit case also knocked on the bronze chime on the case every once in a while.

Under the clanging sound, those subordinates and Lin Wanyin cried even more poignantly, and they felt heartbreaking.

In the midst of mourning and weeping, the salute standing at the entrance of the mourning hall raised his voice and sang: "A bow! Two bows! Three bows! ”。

Mu Qingming and the others followed the rhythm of his singing and singing, slowly bent down to Lin Shixuan's coffin, and began to bow and salute. When all three of them had bowed, the salute sang again, "The family returned the salute." ”。

Then Mu Qingming took the people he brought, facing Lin Wanyin; Lin Wanyin, who was kneeling on the ground, bowed forward slightly and gave them a salute back.

Then someone sent Mu Qingming three lit incense, and he held it in his hand and inserted it into the incense burner on the spirit table.

"Young Master Mu, please use tea outside, Wan Yin will talk to you in a while." Lin Wanyin then said; After Mu Qingming nodded, someone led them to the table set up in the courtyard and sat down, then served tea and pastries and retreated.

Mu Qingming and the others sat down, and Mo Han said happily: "This is the funeral of a human being?" It's a lot of fun! ”。

It was the first time she had participated in a human funeral, so she was naturally curious about everything, and she opened her mouth when she was curious; But it was never intentional.

"Shh Mu Qingming hurriedly raised her index finger and leaned against her lips to signal her to be quiet. Then he looked around, and saw that everyone else around him was busy howling and mourning, and he didn't pay attention to this side, so he said to Mo Han in a deep voice: "Don't be so happy, it's rude to have a hippie smile at the funeral." ”。

"That's right." After nodding thoughtfully, Mo Han put away his smile and kept this in mind.

Mu Qingming then gave everyone he brought a look, motioning for them to tell him, did Lin Shixuan's death have anything to do with the end of the Immortal Dao?

Mo Han and the others, who understood his eyes in a blink of an eye, all shook their heads silently one after another.

What does Lin Wanyin want to talk about with Mu Qingming? Is there any new action in the Immortal Dao? Find out what happens next, and listen to the next breakdown.

[The process of the traditional funeral is also called picking up three or sending three. Folklore holds that on the third day of a person's death, his soul will officially go to the underworld, or be greeted by a god or a Buddha or a messenger of a god or a Buddha. 】
