After Mr. Xu left, Wen Cai grinned, came to Li Yan's side, and said, "Uncle Shi, it's really interesting for you to say that this person is really interesting, I will see you for the first time when you come to someone's funeral to ask for debts." ”

When Li Yan heard this, he was stunned for a moment, as if he suddenly noticed something.

At this end, I only heard Uncle Nine slap his thigh and shouted: "Oh, it's not good, I missed the time." ”

"Uncle Nine, what's going on?"

When everyone heard Uncle Nine shouting like this, they were immediately shocked.

Uncle Nine looked at the compass in his hand, raised his head again, looked at the sky, and said, "It's been delayed for half a quarter of an hour, it's ...... Hurry up and bury ......"

Mrs. Jia exclaimed: "Uncle Jiu, if this hour is delayed, will there be a problem?" ”

Uncle Nine took a deep breath and said, "It stands to reason that there is no big problem in delaying half a quarter of an hour, after all, this place is still a treasure of feng shui, but it is just ...... It's a bit bad to delay after all, it's okay...... Hurry up and bury it! ”

"Good, good, buried, buried......"

The butler shouted loudly and instructed the bearer to place the coffin in the grave.

Everyone was busy and sweating profusely.

Li Yan frowned, asked Wencai on the side, and said, "Why do you have to be buried on time?" ”

Wen Cai smiled "hehe" and said: "I heard the master say that the time of burial is calculated according to the birth date of the deceased, if you are buried on time and on time, the descendants will not say that they will be rich and noble, at least they will be healthy and healthy, and they will be safe and sound for a lifetime. ”

"So scary?" Li Yan was taken aback.

Wen Cai nodded and said, "However, since the master said that there is no problem, then it is estimated that there should be no problem!" ”

Li Yan sneered and said, "It seems that Mr. Xu is here not just to collect debts!" ”

Wen Cai was stunned for a moment, and suddenly seemed to understand something, his eyes narrowed, and he said: "Uncle Shi, do you mean that he came here on purpose to delay the time of burial?" ”

"Quite possibly." Li Yan said.

Wen Cai paused for a moment and said, "Uncle Shi, don't think too much, all in all, with Master here, I'm not afraid of what they can do." ”

The coffin was placed in the grave, and the people brandished shovels and began to bury them.

Not long after, the burial of Master Jia was completed.

By this time, the sun had risen three shots, and the weather had become much hotter.

After setting up the inscription and briefly cleaning the grave, I saw Uncle Nine holding a rattle, going around the grave, turning around three times, chanting words in his mouth, and then grabbing a handful of paper money with the other hand and throwing it out in the air.

"Relatives offer incense and bow down to ......"

The butler stood aside and shouted.

According to the order of generation, generally speaking, a few Mrs. Fang first offered incense, followed by Young Master Jia, and finally other relatives, and then came to the accompanying guests.

Master Jia had a great prestige in Ganling Town during his lifetime, and he was kind to many people, so there were many people who came to see him off.

Uncle Nine looked at Wencai and shouted, "Wencai, soak orange leaves in water." ”

"Howler!"

Wen Cai opened his pocket, took out the orange leaves he had prepared, and soaked them in water.

All those who have been incense and kowtow must wash their hands in water soaked in orange leaves before they can descend the mountain.

When everything was done, it was almost noon.

The sun was hot, and everyone was sweating profusely, only to feel slimy and uncomfortable, and wished it was over sooner.

On the way back to the city, Young Master Jia walked ahead with the incense burner.

Uncle Nine commanded: "Young Master Jia, you go straight home, remember, no matter who you hear calling you on the road, you must not turn back, you know?" ”

"Got it." Young Master Jia nodded.

It is said that after the person is buried, on the way back, if the relatives look back and have the idea of reluctance, then it is very likely that the dead ghost will not want to stay on this mountain.

Human beings have three souls and seven souls, and the three souls are divided into three souls: heaven, earth, and man.

After death, the soul of heaven returns to heaven.

The human soul, that is, the soul of life, is generally led by the ghost to hell, or to be punished, or reincarnated.

There is also a soul, the so-called earth soul, which stays next to the corpse, turns into a wisp of energy, and gradually dies as the days go by.

If the relatives turn back, the earth spirit will follow the relatives back to their homes again.

And the family is popular, and the earth soul is vulnerable, affecting the fortune of future generations or family members.

There is also a saying that when the relatives of the deceased are on their way home, the spirits of the earth will feel reluctant, and they will shout at them, and if the relatives turn back, they can follow the relatives back to their homes again.

Therefore, the mourners can only go all the way forward, and cannot look back.

Li Yan walked up to Uncle Nine and said, "Senior brother, Mr. Xu is here today, I'm afraid he has bad intentions. ”

Uncle Jiu's face became solemn, nodded, lowered his voice, and said, "I think so too, he deliberately messed up the burial, so that we could stagger the best time for the burial, but ......"

"But what?"

"But for a while, I couldn't figure out what he was going to do."

"Could it be that he wants to do something to Master Jia's corpse?" Li Yan asked.

Uncle Jiu's expression changed and said, "It's not that this is impossible, but it's ...... I can't tell the people of the Jia family, Master Jia don't bury him, just burn it, right? What if that's what I said...... The people of the Jia family have to fight hard with me. ”

The people of that era were not as open-minded as modern people like Li Yan.

In ancient times, only lowly people were cremated, but where there were some conditions, burial was chosen.

Of course, this refers to the fact that in the Central Plains, if it is Tibet, it is different.

Tibetans believe in Buddhism, and generally speaking, there are three ways to bury, water burial, cremation, and sky burial, but there is no burial.

The three are carried out according to their status, and only those with high status can enjoy the treatment of sky burial, and the general master or rich and noble person is at most cremated, and water burial is the burial method of the poor.

With Uncle Nine's IQ, how could he not know what Mr. Xu wanted to do?

But even if you do, what?

If he was worried about Mr. Xu's actions and feet, and opposed Master Jia's burial, he was afraid that the family members and guests present would beat him to death.

You can't be angry with someone because of something that hasn't happened yet, right?

Li Yan said: "Then should we remind the Jia family?" ”

"No need, wait until something happens, let's take one step at a time!" Uncle Nine said: "You and Wencai and Qiusheng pay attention, pay more attention to the Jia family these days, if something happens, help in time, by the way, let Qiusheng follow Mr. Xu and see where he lives." ”

"Okay." Li Yan nodded.
