Chapter 97: The Black Cat Jumps into the Coffin

When I heard this, I chuckled in my heart. Dressed in red clothes and red shoes, this is definitely not the way ordinary people die!

In folklore, happy events such as marriage are called "red events", while funerals are called "white events".

Those who get married must wear red, and the picture is a festive picture, and the shroud and filial piety clothes are all black and white, so that black and white can be distinguished from impermanence, and lead the way to the underworld.

Is there any impermanence in black and white? Master didn't talk about it.

However, in the parchment scroll "Records of the Boundary", it is recorded that "all those who die in red will be powerful, and they will not enter the yin gate for the yang." It is to the effect that anyone who dies in red clothes will become a treacherous.

Red is yang and fire, and the ghost is yin and water, as I have introduced before, the three souls are red and the seven spirits are blue, and the seven spirits of the dead are scattered and only the remnant soul is left, and the remnant soul is the color of black and white, so the tricky spirit is mostly black.

If the treacherous soul wears a red coat, it will create the illusion that it is still a living soul, so that it will not be able to enter the treacherous world and be a haunt in the world. After the death of the deceased in red, he was the most vicious, the most resentful, and the most difficult to exceed.

Forcibly exceeding it will consume a lot of Dao cultivation and will leave cause and effect, so no one in the ordinary path will want to wade into this troubled water unless they are forced to do so.

The severity of the consequences of the tragic death of a pregnant woman was introduced when I fought the dead boy in the underground garage with the fat man before, and I will not repeat it.

This Feng Qianqian herself is a pregnant woman, although she has unloaded and given birth to a daughter, but the resentment accumulated in her heart can be imagined, and she committed suicide in red, and it is inevitable that she will become a trick.

My former classmates fell into such a field, and I felt uncomfortable, and I felt sorry for the little girl who had just been born, alas...... O iniquity!

This is not the end of the story, but it has just begun.

The daughter raised by the Feng family for more than 20 years is gone, and the white-haired person sends the black-haired person, the sadness can be imagined, Feng Qianqian's father and brother even went straight to the county party committee compound with kitchen knives, trying to find the Zhang family desperately, and the security guards couldn't pull it.

Our county is already small, the so-called gossip crushes people, justice is in the hearts of the people, the Zhang family is a civil servant with a head and a face, and they know that they are at a loss, and they have lost a lot of money, and the trouble is only over when the city is full of wind and rain.

After such a fuss, the newlywed bride naturally couldn't hold it on her face, and she went back to her parents' house the day after the wedding and started a cold war with her in-laws. was originally a good marriage, but it was a lose-lose situation.

People can't be resurrected after death, and Feng Qianqian's funeral began to be prepared as scheduled. According to our local custom, the body of the deceased is cremated after the "first seven".

What is the "first seven"? The customs may be more or less different from place to place, but I will only introduce the customs of my hometown.

According to the legend of the homeland, the souls of the dead will wander the world, and on the seventh day, they will return home to see their loved ones for the last time, and then enter the underworld.

Therefore, after the burial, the body should be parked in the mourning hall of the house for seven days, and then cremated on the eighth day.

The coffin is parked at home for seven days, and it is necessary to arrange for someone to keep the spirit, which is also particular.

First of all, the wake cannot be a parent.

This is for fear that the white-haired person will send the black-haired person, and the feelings will be difficult to control themselves, which will attract evil things, and it is appropriate to take brothers and sisters, cousins, and cousins; The second is not to cry, this is for fear that the crying will disturb the body in the coffin and cause inexplicable changes.

On the seventh day, the watchman needs to burn a "ladder", which is a small ladder tied with paper, and he has to chant it in his mouth.

"So-and-so, don't remember, let's go to the Western Road...... in order to guide the undead to the underworld.

The most important thing is that cats, dogs and other animals should never be kept in the house during the wake, and it is necessary to resolutely avoid weasels, foxes, hedgehogs, etc.

Because these things are spiritual, jumping out of the coffin will cause the corpse to mutate, so that the corpse will turn into a zombie.

This is the custom of my hometown, and I can't believe it all, and there are many elements that have changed and interpreted over the past thousands of years.

But when it comes to the fact that animals are not allowed to approach the coffin, it is not all rumors, and Master has told me many times before.

In fact, it is not that all animals cannot be near the coffin, such as chickens, dogs, and even weasels and foxes are not a big problem, but cats, especially black cats, are absolutely not.

In the eyes of cultivators, cats are the most spiritual animals in addition to ancient beasts such as dragons, phoenixes, unicorns, etc., since ancient times, there is a saying that "the white fox cultivates nine tails and attains the Tao, and the black cat gives birth to nine lives and becomes evil".

If you go to a temple or a Taoist temple often, you will find that there may be dogs, but there are absolutely no cats, because cats are too spiritual creatures to become demons.

It should be noted that the cat mentioned here is not a domestic cat raised by everyone, let alone an artificially bred pet breed such as: British short, Garfield, Ragdoll cat, but a raccoon cat, also known as a wild civet cat.

For the cat demon who has cultivated, its strength can be described as "evil". A fox can be cultivated into a white fox in a hundred years, while a cat can be cultivated into a black cat in a hundred years.

The nine lives are not that the cat demon can die nine times, but it represents the nine energy bodies that the cat demon is born with. According to the Buddhist scriptures "Quotations", they are: Tong, Spirit, Quiet, Zheng, Enlightenment, Light, Essence, Qi, and God.

The word energy body is my understanding, and Master called it "life", and its meaning can be simply summarized as: a spirit body similar to but different from the three souls and seven spirits of human beings.

After death, the three souls and seven spirits are scattered, and the corpse is like a shell, in a completely blank state, waiting to decay.

At this time, if there is an evil sect or a cat demon who injects the remnants or the nine spiritual bodies (lives) introduced above into the corpse, then the corpse will "live" again and become a zombie.

Master refers to zombies as "spirits" and believes that they are caused by corpses contaminated with remnants, just as objects are contaminated with remnants to become spirits and black dogs.

Although there are many of them frequently recorded in the book, such as the ancient masters who are thundering with the pen of the ox, most of them are afraid of the sun and move slowly, but they are just thirsty for pulp, blood and infinite strength.

The more you are afraid of something, the more you will come.

It is said that it is her brother Feng Jianwei who is guarding Feng Qianqian's spirit, this thing is originally timid, although it is his own sister lying in the coffin, but Feng Jianwei has been standing far away, and he doesn't even dare to open his eyes at night, trembling non-stop.

On the night of the first seven, Feng Jianwei was even more scared.

When the time was approaching, he took out the "ladder" tremblingly, and before he could light the lighter and recite the eulogy, he felt that there was a flower in front of him......

Like a bolt of lightning, a huge black shadow tumbled down from the courtyard wall and landed on the coffin parked in the mourning hall with unmistakable accuracy.

Feng Jianwei was instantly frightened and bloodless, and through the dim light emanating from the mourning hall, he clearly saw that the one who jumped on Feng Qianqian's coffin turned out to be a huge black cat!

It stared at itself viciously with a pair of green eyes and a whining and growling......
