Chapter 122: The New Eight Immortals
When I said this, not only Wu Sanquan's face was full of astonishment, but even the Eight Immortals, who had screamed the loudest just now, suddenly lost their voices.
After a while, the eight immortals hesitated and said to me: "Little coffin master, this guy has offended you, you can punish it a little." Cover the coffin and let him go! As for carrying the coffin, this is not something that anyone can carry! It's like that ...... a while ago."
He wanted to talk about Jiang Yifeng, but after hesitating, he still didn't say it.
Although there was Jiang Yifeng's reason for that incident, it was only because of him, and to tell the truth, the relationship with him was actually not big. After all, that incident was originally a bit strange.
But I can understand what he is worried about, he is not worried that Wu Sanquan will not be able to lift, but is worried that Wu Sanquan does not understand the rules and will offend the deceased, causing everyone to be implicated.
However, it is clear that at this time, my heart is clearly not on this.
I always feel that there are still many things in the Wu family that have not been clarified, and Wu Sanjin's death, looking at the current situation, still has a lot to do with Wu Sanquan.
His refusal to touch the coffin shows that he is ashamed of the deceased in his heart, or is he afraid, in short, with an open heart, he will not be afraid of his brother's soul. Since he is afraid, it means that his heart is not open.
And if you want to figure out everything, or in other words, even if you don't understand the truth of the matter, in order to let Wu Sanjin eliminate his hatred as soon as possible, let Wu Sanquan help him carry the coffin, it is not a bad way.
Of course, when I said this, I had already considered that Wu Sanquan might reject my proposal.
But it doesn't matter, I've made up my mind this time. If he doesn't agree with my approach today, then I really won't care about their family's affairs anymore.
If compassion is too overflowing, it will be tasteless, and it is simply blasphemy to this kind of person who doesn't even care about his own life and doesn't have much friendship with his family.
"This matter is settled." Ignoring the obstruction of the Eight Immortals, I said, "Wu Sanquan, you can choose." You promised that you could go out of the funeral now, and you must be buried before midnight; If you don't agree, I'll go back with the Eight Immortals now. Whoever likes to take care of your family's affairs, and who is not afraid of death, then you can go to whom! ”
Wu Sanquan's face was red for a while, white for a while, and his expression changed back and forth. Obviously, his heart was swaying and hesitating violently.
Seeing that he was hesitant, I was tired of waiting, and I called the Eight Immortals to leave.
Wu Sanquan finally made up his mind at this time, he caught up, grabbed me, and said again and again: "Okay, okay, I promise, can't I promise?" Little coffin, I'm afraid of you. Shall I help you cover the coffin? I'll carry it for you, okay? Why do you have to force me? ”
"Hey, what do you mean I forced you?" I glared at him and sneered, "I just said that I don't want to take on your family's work at all." As for forcing you, I didn't. If you think I'm forcing you, then you can be smarter. ”
"Don't don't, don't go!" Wu Sanquan grabbed me again, and he hurriedly admitted his mistake to me, "Okay, okay, little coffin master, count me in...... No, am I wrong, am I wrong? Please, you can help me. Our family really can't afford to toss! ”
Wu Sanquan finally relented, which was reasonable and expected.
He helped me cover Wu Sanjin's coffin and nail it.
In order to prevent bad things from happening, I also specially asked people to find a black dog and a rooster, killed the rooster, pressed the coffin with a faucet, and then injected the ink fountain with cinnabar mixed with black dog blood, and then used the ink fountain line to bounce the entire coffin.
After all these things were arranged, in order to prevent accidents, I pulled Wu Sanquan aside and told him about several of the more important taboos for carrying the coffin.
After explaining everything clearly, he ordered a Eight Immortals and asked him to give Wu Sanquan the place to be lifted.
Of course, I didn't actually mean to let Wu Sanquan lift from beginning to end.
After all, Wu Sanquan is the master, if he hadn't been hiding something from me, it stands to reason that even if there was really a missing position among the Eight Immortals, I wouldn't let him help carry the coffin. What's more, the eight immortals are neat, and there is no place for restraint with Wu Sanjin's eight characters and zodiac.
In addition, Wu Sanquan is carrying the coffin for the first time, and his own physique is not able to be considered strong.
Because the Wu family is different from other families, there are no guests to help see them off today, and even the people from their own family are not complete, so the steps that should be taken are much simplified. I didn't bother to say any nice words, so I directly ordered the eight immortals to 'lift the coffin'.
The coffin swayed and lifted up, and Wu Sanquan's face turned red, obviously feeling very difficult.
Even if he doesn't have a strong physique, he doesn't have a lot of work in that place, so he shouldn't be so heavy as soon as he gets started, right? I was startled and quickly looked at the others.
But what made me even more puzzled was that the other seven Eight Immortals didn't have any abnormal reactions. Seeing that I didn't speak, I looked a little puzzled.
I don't understand the reasoning behind this, but it's good that nothing happened.
I commanded the coffin to be carried out of the room, someone helped to carry the bench, and the replaced Eight Immortals followed the team. There were no gongs and drummers, no suona, and firecrackers, so quietly went up the mountain.
I instructed each of the people who followed me to take a handful of guiding incense and stick it on the side of the road along the way, so that no ghost would come forward to harass Wu Sanjin's soul and prevent him from entering the ground safely.
Carrying the coffin all the way to the entrance of the village, Wu Sanquan suddenly gasped loudly, his throat was snoring, his face was red, and even a little purple.
Looking at the way he looked, I couldn't help but get a little nervous. Especially the coffin was crumbling and about to fall to the ground, which made me panic even more.
According to the rules, if the coffin lands halfway, Wu Sanjin will probably not be able to reincarnate for three years.
In a hurry, I hurriedly ordered someone to bring the bench over and place it so that the eight immortals who carried the coffin could rest.
Seven of the eight immortals actually thought it was okay, but Wu Sanquan really looked unbearable. Even when the coffin was removed from his shoulder, he gasped for breath for a while before he finally regained some color on his face.
He gasped and looked around at the people around him, perhaps seeing that the others were not tired like him, and his eyes couldn't help but be puzzled. I watched it for a while, just as I was about to give the order to change someone and re-raise the coffin. But he suddenly asked, "...... you Aren't you tired? ”
One of the Eight Immortals replied to him, "Tired, but really tired, but it seems that you are extremely tired." How? Pampered? No, aren't you also a farmer? Why don't you even have the strength to do this? Usually you're just lazy, aren't you? ”
"Nope! No! That's absolutely nothing! Wu Sanquan hurriedly explained, "I usually work very diligently, where is there laziness?" Besides, usually, I ...... I don't think I'm supposed to be so ineffective. As soon as I lifted the coffin today, I felt that I had no strength on my shoulders, and the coffin was ......"
At this point, he paused, and looked at me.
I told him that the coffin must not be carried with the word 'heavy', otherwise it would be a great disrespect to the deceased. Instead of solving the problem, it will only make the coffin heavier and heavier! Even in the end, maybe even the dragon rope will be broken.
Therefore, he did not dare to say that word at this time, but I already knew what he wanted to say.
I looked at him, thought about it, and couldn't help but wonder.
Everyone doesn't think it's heavy, he's the only one who thinks so. Is this a psychological reason, or does Wu Sanjin in the coffin really have any grudge against him? I'm more inclined to the latter.
