"Uncle Xia, do you know what our taboo is?"

When Xia Qian heard this, he seemed to be instantly energetic: "Oh, these are the crematoriums that were set up when they were just established. At that time, it was also stipulated in the document sent from above, and we were also puzzled at that time. At that time, there were not many cremators, and it was almost the end of the morning. Occasionally, it was delivered in the afternoon, but it was not done. Later, we asked some monks who had come over. Originally, there was a saying that the yang energy began to weaken after noon. ”

It sounded pretty new, so I quickly asked him to say more. Xia Qian saw that I was so interested, and he was even more energetic. In fact, he can show up and talk to living people, but it's more of a "safety tip"; It's not a chat at all. Wandering alone in the funeral parlor is also quite lonely.

He said many taboos, most of which were superstitions; But others are quite well-founded. For example, no matter how the architectural style of all funeral parlors and crematoriums changes, the feng shui pattern is almost the same...... The door is opened in the northwest, the birth gate is placed in the northeast, and the yang people enter by the door and go out from the birth door. If you lay it out in this way, even if the yang people enter the yin land, they will not be contaminated with filth. The crematorium should be located in the southwest, the southwest is the door of death, and at the same time it is also the Kun hexagram in the gossip. As for the two gates of Du and Jing, they are hidden and blocked places, and they will not easily accommodate the yin matter. The two gates of shock, that is, the east and west directions are the underworld, and the yin cha comes from the west, and the ghost walks from the east, and these two parties cannot set up a town that has any effect on the ghost. In this way, the crematorium is conducive to the safety of the Yang people and their staff, and is conducive to the death of the deceased.

After listening to it, I called out the long insight. If I want to put it aside, I will definitely scoff at it; As a result, a ghost is now telling me the door...... Seeing my unproductive face, Xia Qian smiled awkwardly:

"Actually, I only learned about these things after I passed by, and I only heard about them when I was alive before. But I don't know the real reason. ”

Seeing that I didn't speak, he said again: "It's been a long time since I've chatted like this, and those bad leaders don't chat." Occasionally, two capable men came, though they could see me; But they would never talk to me like that. I also came out to remind the living...... Before his death, he was the curator, and to be honest, he didn't have much contact with specific affairs; After his death, he continued to be the director of the ......" There was a hint of loneliness in his words.

"Uncle Xia, isn't this good? At least you don't have to be familiar with the environment. Look at this brick by brick, and then look at this new day. Isn't it very gratifying? I lit another cigarette. It's really hard to talk to ghosts, and I used to have only a pack of cigarettes on me. Ever since I became a ghost, I've always had a few extra packs on me.

Later, Xia Qian and I said a lot of taboos, such as: don't shout the names of other living people when you enter the funeral home, the shouter is unintentional, but the people who listen are not only the living; There was once a ghost who heard a name in a daze, thinking it was his own name, and it took a long time to put the matter over. Don't even look in the mirror, which will add unnecessary hallucinations. If a lady wants to go to the bathroom, don't ask the "dressing room" elegantly, because there really is a dressing room in the funeral home; That's where Mia works...... But in the meantime, he also told me some interesting facts, and this ghost curator is a bit interesting. Even though I am a ghost, the person who told me these things interpreted it from a scientific point of view.

For example, people say, "People sit up and sometimes scream during cremation." But Xia Qian said seriously: "This is not the sound of people, we know that when people are talking or shouting, it is because the air in the lungs moves in and out to push the airflow to drive the vocal cords to vibrate the vocal cords." When people are cremated, the body is made of a certain amount of air (especially in the lungs), when the fire is heated, the air in the body will expand rapidly due to the principle of cold contraction of heat and viscera, and it will be eliminated from the body through the mouth.

"Uncle, I don't know if I should say something?" I flicked the cigarette ash at hand.

"Little brother, but it doesn't hurt to say it." Xia Qian is also open-minded. As soon as he finished speaking, I said:

"You're a ghost, and your speech is so materialistic? Someone told me that, of course, it's fine. From your point of view, if you say that you are nostalgic for the voice of the world, I can accept it a little. ”

"Hehehe, now the leader of Yin Si is very funny." He smiled and continued: "I was also an atheist before, and a lot of special phenomena happened later. For example, there is a sound during cremation, and sometimes people will get up; I don't believe in ghosts and gods anymore, and it's quite hairy to see this. Later, I went to study the reasons carefully, consulted skilled workers, and also consulted some masters. There are indeed some things that are unthinkable and unexplainable; But there are also many that can be traced back to the cause and can be explained by physical imagination. Huh? By the way, since the little brother has this leisure, why don't I take you to the stove to have a look? ”
