Chapter 25: The Hyena (9)

I covered my face and didn't want to look at the face that was really underbeaten, so I said quite helplessly: "Sister-in-law, look at him!"

The sister-in-law, who was standing outside the mourning hall with the magic weapon and waiting for Brother Xu to finish wiping the mud on me, heard the voice and said, "Da Xu, don't make trouble, hurry up."

Brother Xu may listen to a little sister-in-law in this life, sister-in-law speaks better than his parents, a simple handful of mud on my second brother, I feel cold, Brother Xu also said, not spectacular enough.

You're magnificent, your thing is as spectacular as the Three Gorges Waterfall!

The last bit of stinky mud was smeared on my thighs and soles of my feet, and Brother Xu clapped his hands: "The work is done, can you try the old clothes on the spiritual bed."

"How do you wipe the mud off?" After I finished speaking, I ran to the funeral bed and ran naked in the funeral home, which was really disrespectful to the deceased.

Brother Xu took out a cigarette from his trouser pocket, and the fingers that were originally smoking and pinching cigarettes were pinched in front of the cigarette holder at most. He was so good, his fingers were about to pinch the cigarette butts, and he lit them with matches on the table, whether the smell of urine smelled good or not, and he smoked two puffs of tinder in front of his fingers, and said to me calmly: "It's okay, you have already salted it."

Indeed, I was accustomed to the smell of urine mixed with the smell of earth, and I took the old clothes on the spiritual bed, which were the clothes for the dead, and put them on myself.

The longevity clothes are exquisite, generally they are odd numbers, and the upper body clothes are two more than those worn on the lower body, such as seven up and five down, nine up and seven down, up to eleven and nine.

I'm not really dead, I don't pay much attention to it, the shroud is similar to a tunic suit, put on the pants first, after all, the second brother has been exposed to the outside, put on the shirt and button it. Not to mention, it fits the well!

"Let's go, follow me to the incense." Brother Xu threw away the cigarette after being burned by the cigarette, grabbed three coarse incense sticks between his arms, and walked out with three incense burners in his hands.

I walked with him to the outside of the room, and after Brother Xu handed me the incense, he placed three incense burners on the ground, and the spacing between the three incense burners was regular, all of them were twenty centimeters.

Put the incense burner, Brother Xu took the first incense from my arms first, the coarse incense is difficult to ignite, so he dug out a little incense, took out a windproof lighter and roasted the incense noodles that leaked out to ignite, and after a while, it was lit, and the remaining two were lit in the same way. Three sticks of incense are inserted on the three incense burners.

Brother Xu stood in front of the incense burner, with his back to me, and shouted to the empty small playground of the funeral home: "Poor ......"

"Aren't you supposed to be Na?" I forked the road, and it became more and more unreliable, and I forgot what I was cultivating.

"Ahem, ahem...... Don't get in the way, get down to business. Brother Xu turned his head and glared at me, and then said in the tone of a leader inspecting the countryside and giving a speech: "Poor Dao takes advantage of this practice to feast on the lonely souls outside the ten methods to enjoy incense, and the blessing of immeasurable heavenly dignity."

As soon as the words fell, when I was smearing the mud just now, my glasses had been taken off and placed on the table, there was nothing to cover my eyes, and I looked into the distance with a little concentration, and countless black shadows rushed towards the incense, as if I hadn't eaten for several days.

Brother Xu waited for another three seconds before turning around and pulling me back.

I didn't understand: "Why are you recruiting these ghosts, won't they disturb our errands?"

"No, leave after eating incense, and before every method, you have to give alms to the lonely souls outside the ten methods, which can be regarded as accumulating virtue for yourself, and it is still early before the appearance of the hyena, so you don't delay the right thing." Brother Xu and I returned to the No. 1 Mourning Hall.

The sister-in-law was also in the house and put the three ritual utensils on the table.

I looked at the table and there were a few things that didn't work: "What's next?"

Brother Xu first picked up the garland on the table and put it on top of my head, before I could react to what was going on, he held up the red cloth again and shook it, the red cloth unfolded, hung on my shoulders and fell behind me, like a cloak.

When the red cloth was put on, he took up the green cloth, and the green cloth was tied to me, seven feet long enough, and it came down from my left shoulder, and tied it under my right arm, and also fixed the cloak-like red cloth.

"Wear red and green, in our industry, only when you go to the yin, you need to wear red and green, holding a dog stick, five grains of grain, the passing ghost sees you wearing red and green and a wreath on your head to know that you are the "messenger" of the yang and the underworld, do not hook your soul, the dog stick is used to beat the evil dog when passing the evil dog pass, and do not let it eat your soul body. The five grains are used to pass through the Golden Rooster Ridge to catch the golden rooster, so as not to let it peck your soul. We won't go to the yin, but after a while, I will turn off your heavenly fire, so that you will become a state of death in the eyes of evil creatures, so in case that dirty thing that doesn't have long eyes comes to seduce your soul, and it won't be boring to see such a battle on you. Brother Xu was afraid that I would be afraid, so he patiently explained.

I nodded, "What else do you need to do?"

"Are you hungry now? Thirsty? When you're hungry and thirsty, tell me. You won't be able to move for a while. "My sister-in-law is more concerned about me than Brother Xu, and she asks me if I am hungry and thirsty.

I shook my head, "Give me a cigarette."

Dinner was not too early, and I drank a bottle of mineral water in the car before, so I didn't get hungry and thirsty.

"Okay." Brother Xu lit a cigarette, took it off his mouth and handed it to me.

I took the cigarette and took the cigarette in a similar posture to Brother Xu, after all, the mud on my hand was still there, and I took a sharp puff and said, "Why don't you let Li Jia stay, many people are more sure."

"First, each industry has its own rules, I take the work, I take the money, I must be responsible to the end, unless I die or I go to ask for help from others, outsiders can help." Brother Xu is very disciplined at the moment, and he seems very old-fashioned.

"But Li Jia is not an outsider."

"You don't understand this, you just look at those four paper figures and you'll know." I looked in the direction that Brother Xu pointed.

When the two boys and girls felt my gaze, they looked up at me together, smiled at me, and then lowered their heads to return to their original expressions.

Brother Xu said incomprehensibly: "The father and son of the old Li family have extremely high talents in paper, but unfortunately his father died early, otherwise I wouldn't need to start the formation for a while." In ancient times, there was a legend of immortals sprinkling beans into soldiers, and sprinkling beans into soldiers did exist, which belonged to the yang method in the book Qimen Dunjia of Qimen Dunjia, and Li Jia practiced paper-binding adults, which belonged to the yin art in Qimen, and he was also a small success. Don't look at his big lump, ordinary people can fight five of them in front of him, but if he deals with yin and evil, his little melee ability is not as good as letting him control the paper people in his magic hall. To put it in a modern way, this kid looks rough and thick like a warrior, but he is actually a mage. ”

"To put it in a modern way, what kind of profession are you?"

Brother Xu thought for a long time and said, "I am a warrior of the double cultivation of mathematics and martial arts, I can give you a leg with one kick like you."
