Chapter 390: Walking the Coffin
The directness of Zhao Shengdong and Zhao Mingshuang's father and son reminded me of what it means to be unreasonable, a dead daughter and a dead sister, in this case, I still want Li Chong to make the funeral all over the city, is this a good face or are there other factors?
I don't want to pay attention to it so much, so I don't get angry even when I face foul language, I just do what I have to do. Just like Li Chong told me, as long as I do what I do in accordance with the rules and reasonably, then he will support me no matter what.
It's hard to think that a person going to the funeral with a dead wife has to be interfered with by the people of his mother-in-law's family, it is not a good thing to die young and early, I can't figure out why Zhao Shengdong and they have to do this. Do you want to make a show? Or is it deliberately difficult for Li Chong...... All kinds of confusion prove one thing, that is, Zhao Mingli's death was not respected by her mother's family!
Speaking of which, Zhao Mingli's ghost has not come out since she entered the house, even if it was because of the trouble here, Li Chong didn't see her come out. Maybe he wanted to see his daughter quietly, but dying was difficult for the Yin to accept at first. I don't think there's anything special about her arrogant look at first, after all, having arrogance on her face is also a kind of self-confidence, and it's hard to change it after getting used to it.
After Li Chong came out, he was not treated well by the people on the Zhao family's side, and he seemed to be accustomed to it, so he cleared his throat and looked at me and said, "Daoist Chen, you tell them about your plan, and if there is anything to be improved, you can also have a discussion as soon as possible." ”
I nodded at this, but the dozen or so people from the Zhao family and the eight people who carried the coffin didn't care much, and many men and women still didn't stingy with their contempt, and they didn't give me and Li Chong face at all.
Anyway, I don't believe they can hear it here, so I stood up and said solemnly: "The funeral emphasizes the word 'shun', from here to Jiukailing is ten kilometers up and down, we can't stop in the middle, as long as we stop the ghost of the deceased will be disturbed, but the dead are uneasy, and the living are difficult to be well, so we have to take the road without traffic lights." There were eight people carrying the coffin present, and what I advocated was the 'Feng Array' carrying the coffin, with a total of eight ends in the middle, and relatives to say goodbye from behind. ”
As I spoke, I motioned for Xiao Xiao to take out a stick of incense that had been prepared a long time ago, and continued to show it to everyone: "This stick of incense is called 'Ding Long Xiang', and it has always had the effect of attracting souls with the fragrance of Long Ding in ancient times. My junior brother will hold Dinglong incense in front, such a big stick of incense to go out, presumably the face will not be worse than scattering paper money and setting off firecrackers, and it is not easy for the relevant departments to keep an eye on it. ”
After speaking, I looked at Li Chong and Li Wei, both of them thought that it was good for me to say this, at least it also reduced the number of people at the funeral.
The "Fengzi Array Carrying the Coffin" and "Dinglong Xiang" in my words are all fictional, in order to say a reason. I also know that my hairy boy, others may not be able to listen to these words, so I said the pomp and related departments at the end.
"I think what Chen Daochang said is reasonable, with Ding Longxiang in front, eight people carrying the coffin, this pomp is big enough. If there is no objection, the matter will be decided. "Li Chong was the first to agree with my point of view, after all, he didn't want to make the funeral cause a storm in the city.
"I'm for it too!" Li Wei also said on the side, looking at Zhao Shengdong, who was a little unhappy, and continued, "Old man Zhao, there are a lot of hard stubbles in the relevant departments, if it makes a big fuss, what kind of environmental protection department, transportation department or something like that can arrest you, a leading bird." Besides, Little Brother Chen also said, you can think about whether the pomp is big enough? If you don't think it's big enough, let more people follow. ”
The words are not coarse, even if Zhao Shengdong thinks that he is the head snake of Tai'an County, there are some things that he is not afraid of. Besides, he is not as powerful as the head snake, at most he is a somewhat angry old man, who thinks he is invincible in the world with his ruthlessness, but he is not a fool, Li Wei's words are worth considering.
Zhao Mingshuang was a little dissatisfied with this, but his eyes turned inexplicably, and he didn't know what he was thinking about, so he smiled and said: "Dad, I think this method is feasible, so it's settled." Think about it, how decent it is for a dozen of us to follow behind the funeral procession. ”
I don't know what this guy is thinking, maybe he figured it out.
Because of Zhao Mingshuang's words, after Zhao Shengdong agreed, everyone else also agreed. Judging from the looks of other people, these people listened to Zhao Mingshuang's words, not Zhao Shengdong's words, it seems that this Zhao Mingshuang is a hard stubble, otherwise why would those relatives listen to him so much?
Whatever, in any case, my proposal has been approved by everyone, and it cannot be denied that my reflections yesterday have borne fruit.
All I hope is that this time the matter can be resolved in good condition, and I don't want to cause trouble. However, in this society under the rule of law, as long as there is no participation of powerful ghosts, man-made disasters can be avoided as much as possible.
We have all seen Zhao Mingli's ghost, but it is just a little more powerful than ordinary yin. Because the ghost thing is not long, so I don't understand the ghost thing and the things of our Taoist priest, which can be seen from the fact that she didn't feel the aura of her fear in us when she followed Li Wei before.
As a Taoist priest, you will have Dao Qi, which is difficult to hide, and it is very common to release a little. However, if ordinary ghosts don't know some things about Taoist priests, it is difficult for them to know what we are carrying something different from ordinary people, and they don't know that they can hurt them without touching them. This is like a child who is recognizing something new when faced with something that can hurt people, such as a pistol, as long as he does not know that there is danger, he will not be afraid, and only when he knows will he be afraid and avoid.
And Dao Qi is similar to Dao weapons, but Dao weapons will choose to hide in the hands of our Taoist priests, so they can't know that we have something that threatens them in front of ghosts who don't have strong perception.
Speaking of which, it doesn't matter to us whether Zhao Mingli knows that we can deal with the Yin Soul or not, the reason is very simple, she is just a Yin Soul born without euthanasia. As long as she doesn't do anything bad, we won't care about her, and how she survives is her business. If she knew that we were Taoist priests, it would be okay if there was anything she wanted us to help us make a deal when the time came.
Because it seems to me that this is a very normal death, and there is nothing unclean in it. I'm more concerned about people than about the dead. After all, ghosts can only make trouble if they have ability, and people can make trouble as long as they are not vegetative, even if they are so disabled that they can't move, a mouth is enough to make trouble......
At noon, we ate the dishes delivered by the hotel at Li Chong's house, and three o'clock in the afternoon came soon.
The whole coffin had been put on a rope and carried the coffin, and when Li Chong's daughter Li Ziyue was about to leave, she also came down from the stairs, the whole person was a little haggard, wearing a black dress, and holding a photo frame with a black and white photo of Zhao Mingli in her arms. She doesn't look outstanding, but overall she looks like a neat and quiet girl.
The others weren't very particular about dressing, and if I had taken over earlier, I might have made them wear the same black or white clothes. I thought that Zhao Shengdong would change into uniform clothes at Li Chong's house, but it didn't, only Li Chong and Li Ziyue wore the same black clothes. This makes me a little curious about Zhao Shengdong, what is the matter with Zhao Shengdong and they don't pay attention to their dress for the sake of pomp, have they forgotten? But how could they, who are so concerned about pomp and circumstance, forget these things?
And what was even more unexpected to me was that Zhao Shengdong and they did not follow the past, but only eight people who carried the coffin, as well as Li Chong's father and daughter and me, Xiao, Yin Wushen, a total of thirteen people, and even Li Wei did not go over.
"Sir, as long as the immediate family members of the family can pass." Li Wei knew our question, and there was nothing he could do about it.
Seeing what he meant, he seemed to feel quite satisfied, and looked at Zhao Shengdong and them slightly, presumably thinking that it was a good thing that those people from the Zhao family didn't go over. At least I won't wait until I get to Jiukailing and make some trouble, or make some trouble on the road.
"Dust to dust, coffin, go!"
Seeing that it was 10:10 a.m., I didn't talk so much nonsense, and asked those people to carry the coffin with me in the easiest way.
In fact, I haven't heard with my own ears what those "god sticks" said at the funeral, and I'm afraid that if I talk too much, I will be easily dissatisfied by the people of the Zhao family. Anyway, there are not so many politeness in our funeral itself, and it is good that there are fewer cumbersome things.
The coffin was lifted, and when I was young, I was holding a long incense stick in front of me, and the coffin bearer carried the coffin in the middle with a "Fengzi array", and I and Yin Wushen and Li Chong's father and daughter were behind.
It is a tiring job to go from Anhe Road to Jiukailing, and it is inevitable that passers-by will watch along the way, and there are even a lot of people who take photos and videos, and they have received a lot of criticism. In addition to people, there were also many ghosts who came to see us, but the ghost of Zhao Mingli, who was sent by us, did not follow.
I thought she was at least following Li Ziyue, at least her own daughter. Now it seems that she didn't go home to see her husband and daughter before, and this kind of big day of funeral is obviously a little strange.
Although it is strange, but every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, maybe other people's families themselves are not harmonious? After death, the ghost should only go home to see what he missed before he died.
As I said before, we are not involved in family affairs, so even if we have questions, we will not ask them. If I ask Li Chong, I will be an outsider to ask him about his family affairs, and he will not pay attention to me. Even if it's because you're polite to me, you won't tell me the truth in the end.
We were not stopped by the relevant departments in the county, which was related to the fact that we did not take the main road and set off firecrackers to scatter paper money, and after about 20 minutes, we finally left the county and entered the suburban road.
Although Xiao is not a native of Tai'an County, I have already checked the location of Jiukailing with him yesterday. We've already planned the route, so he won't go astray.
Speaking of which, I, a person from Tai'an County, don't know about Jiukailing, after all, there are too many names of mountains outside the entire county, and locals who are not mountains with good scenery don't know. Moreover, the mountain is not a mountain, it can be said to be a relatively large hill, like a wavy line on a place at a higher altitude than the horizontal line, and every small wave on it can be said to be a mountain.
It is precisely because the undulations of the mountains are neither large nor high that they have been the best place for graves since ancient times.
