"The Salesperson of the Shroud Shop"

Chapter 5 The Rules of the Funeral

Wu Yu suddenly had a feeling of getting on the thief ship and helping the thief count the money, and pointed to the 'explosive bag' in his hand: "Brother, don't make this joke with your brother-in-law, your brother-in-law is too timid to stand your fear." It's illegal for you to keep this thing in your possession, and if the police know about it, they'll arrest you. ”

Yu Chen smiled and lit a cigarette, and the frightened Wu Yu hurriedly moved the 'explosive bag' in his hand to the side: "Be careful, if this is lit, you Sister Xiaoxi will really become a widow." ”

Yu Chen handed over a cigarette: "Brother-in-law, you think too highly of me, where can I get you a real explosives bag!" This is the black powder that Xue Hao and I pulled out of the firecrackers, and it was full of lime powder and peach sawdust. If you encounter a situation and throw this thing on fire, this thing will produce a large amount of yang energy when it burns, which is my improved Yang Gathering Array, although it is different from the real Yang Qi, but it can also have a deterrent effect. ”

Wu Yu nodded: "I'm scared to death, it turned out to be not an explosives bag!" The lighter will be returned to you, I have my own lighter. ”

Yu Chen shook his head: "This lighter is not for you to order it, this lighter is corpse oil in it, the heavier the yin qi, the more vigorous it burns, and the burning of this thing will not alarm the things with yin qi, and the living will see a ball of light in the sky." ”

Wu Yu let out an 'oh': "Okay! So what are we going to do now? Yu Chen pointed down the mountain: "Go down the mountain to that old man Zhao's house, I have to see the situation of their family, I always feel that something is not quite right in their house." ”

When the two of them went down the mountain, it was already more than 5 o'clock in the afternoon, Zhao Lianjun was sitting on a stone at the bottom of the mountain and waiting, and when he saw the two people coming down, he quickly took out a pack of good cigarettes from his pocket and handed it over: "The two immortals have worked hard, and our pine trees have been done?" ”

Yu Chen smiled and took the cigarette: "What about the tree!" We have temporarily controlled it with a spell, and I have also measured the exact location of your old lady's burial, let's hurry back to your house to see if Xiao Song has come, if they come, we will hurry up and prepare for the funeral. According to the rules of the elders, the corpse should be left for three days before it can be buried, and because of the special situation of your family, I decided to give your old lady a burial ceremony in your family's cemetery tonight. ”

Zhao Lianjun was a little confused, he knew that the corpse that Yu Chen said earlier had been kept at home for three days, and the countryside had this custom, but the later one was a little confused about what kind of ceremony he had to go to the cemetery: "Great Immortal!" You're going to the cemetery in the middle of the night, or you're going to go during the day! ”

Yu Chen said with a mysterious face: "This is not good, your old lady may have fallen into the Tao before her death, I must hold this ceremony for your old lady in your cemetery, otherwise the direct burial will have an impact on your family." ”

Zhao Lianjun nodded, and said embarrassedly: "That great immortal, you have the money for this ceremony... You see, my family can't come up with extra money now. ”

Yu Chen nodded: "Don't worry, since I promised to hold a funeral for your family, I will be responsible for special circumstances, and I will not accept your money for this part." It's just that my assistant and I are going to your graveyard in the evening, and you have to prepare some dry food and flashlights for us, which will require us to spend the night in the mountains! ”

When Zhao Lianjun heard that he didn't want money, he was relieved, and nodded again and again: "It's no problem, Daxian, you can rest assured, I will definitely prepare everything for you if you need." ”

The three of them gossiped while walking towards Zhao Lianjun's house, and when they arrived at Zhao Lianjun's house, Xiao Song was already busy building a spiritual shed with the Zhao family.

Wu Yu also attended the funeral for the first time, so he was a little curious about the funeral shed, and hurriedly handed Xiao Song a cigarette: "Dude, what do you need to do for this funeral, this is the first time I have come out with my brother-in-law, and I don't understand your procedure yet." ”

Xiao Song smiled, took Wu Yu's cigarette and said, "You are Brother Chen's brother-in-law!" Then I'll follow Brother Chen and call you, brother-in-law, can you see it? ”

Wu Yu saw that this Xiao Song was also very polite, and nodded hurriedly: "Of course it's no problem, they're all buddies, you can call them whatever you want." ”

Xiao Song nodded: "Brother-in-law, this funeral is too much." First of all, it is the spirit shed, the size is so that there are no special requirements, and the opening direction of the spirit shed is said. The first must not face the door of any living dwelling, the second must not face the wind, and the third must be lower than the mourning shed within five steps of the opening. ”

Wu Yu nodded as if he didn't understand: "So much to say!" Tell me, buddy, what do these three points mean? ”

Xiao Song smiled: "Actually, there is no special meaning, the first point is that I am afraid of bad luck, how unlucky it is for the door of the dead to follow the door of the living!" The second point is that I am afraid that the wind will pour into the spiritual shed, which will affect the burning of the immortal candle and the wax of Shoutai. The third point is actually the simplest, that is, when the descendants kneel outside the funeral tent, they must be in a low place, and the deceased is large, so the deceased must be in the highest position. ”

Wu Yu felt very reasonable when he heard it, so he said, "Dude, you go on, I'm here to be a little interested." ”

Xiao Song nodded: "In addition to the location of the spirit shed, we have to talk about the construction inside the spirit shed." First of all, the spiritual platform must be placed in the innermost part of the spiritual shed, one is to avoid the wind, and the other is that position is the main seat of the entire spiritual shed. If it is cremated, the urn needs to be placed under the spirit tablet, and if it is cremated, it must be placed in front of the spirit tablet. ”

Wu Yu nodded: "This distribution is more reasonable, it seems that this is nothing special!" ”

Xiao Song smiled and shook his head: "Brother-in-law, you don't know, the most important thing in the entire spiritual shed is the spiritual platform. A statue of the deceased must be placed on a mourning platform, and the wax of Shoutai that will not be extinguished for three days must be lit on both sides, and the immortal candle must be the soybean oil eaten at home as fuel. The incense burner must be placed in front of the statue, and the rice two-thirds of the depth of the incense burner must be placed inside, and then a thin layer of fine soil in front of the door must be pressed on the surface. The longevity candle and Shoutai wax must be burned for three full days and cannot be extinguished, once extinguished in advance, they must be killed at the gate of their house as soon as possible, and the deceased will be buried immediately. There's a lot of attention to here. ”

Wu Yu looked at the spirit shed that had been erected: "So many requirements!" So what happens if one of these things is missing? ”

Xiao Song shook his head: "I don't know about this, I haven't seen it yet." But my dad told me that he accidentally extinguished someone's candle of immortality. At that time, I didn't pay much attention to this industry, and after the burial, the family died one by one within three months, and my father later lost one eye because of this incident. Fortunately, I met someone who knew how to do it, otherwise my dad would have hung up. ”

Wu Yu looked at Xiao Song with a serious look and didn't look like he was lying to him, and muttered a little in his heart: "Is it really so evil?" ”

Xiao Song nodded again and again, and pointed to a van he drove not far away: "Brother-in-law, have you seen the live chickens brought in the car?" Since my dad had an accident, as long as he was holding someone else's funeral, he always had a live rooster in the car, and he was afraid that something would happen. The last time I held someone's funeral, I drank some wine on the first day, but when I built the funeral shed, I accidentally broke someone's incense burner. After bringing the incense burner to replace it that night, the lit incense was inserted into it and extinguished, if it weren't for Brother Xue Hao's presence at the time, what method was used to help me survive such a catastrophe, I guess I would have to be like my father. ”

Wu Yu listened to it with suspense, and then thought about Xue Hao's unreliable appearance, and couldn't help but shake his head. At this time, Yu Chen walked over with a sack: "What are you talking about!" Is it Xue Hao helping you again? ”

Xiao Song smiled: "Brother, you guessed accurately!" ”

Yu Chen glanced at him: "How many times have I told you, it's because the location of your spiritual shed is wrong, the wind blows inside, and it has nothing to do with Xue Hao." Hurry up and get your hands dirty! Your family is responsible for the funeral, and if you don't give me a penny, I have to go out with my brother-in-law! ”

Xiao Song nodded: "Brother Chen, I still have no bottom in my heart." Why don't you and your brother-in-law stay here with me! I'm afraid that if something happens to me again, what will I do? ”

Yu Chen pointed to Xiao Song's car: "Isn't there a rooster in your car, just wipe your neck and bleed a little when you encounter something." If that's not good, you can go up to their house and pick some dirt on your face to make sure you're okay. I'll tell you, my brother-in-law and I have to go to this graveyard tonight, and if there's any movement over there, you'll have to appease the people who attend the funeral here. You can make up the reasons yourself. ”

Xiao Song nodded: "Brother Chen, you can rest assured of these, what are you doing in the cemetery!" ”

Yu Chen lit a cigarette: "You don't need to know what to do, didn't you listen to such a sentence?" The more you know, the faster you die. ”

Xiao Song looked at the sack in Yu Chen's hand: "Brother, the shed here is finished, and the rest is for their own relatives to take care of the shed." My brother-in-law's car didn't come up, so I'll drive you there! You see, it's getting dark this day, and the roads in the countryside are not easy to walk. ”

Yu Chen looked at Xiao Song carefully: "Take care of yourself, if I need you over there, I will send you a signal." After speaking, he smiled at Wu Yu: "Brother-in-law, let's go!" ”

Wu Yu nodded, although he was a little stunned in his heart, but he was a little tempted by what Yu Chen said in the afternoon, and he still wanted to see what was going on in the Zhao family's cemetery.

As soon as the two of them left the gate of the Zhao family, Wu Yu couldn't help but ask: "Brother, I'm learning the funeral procedures with Xiao Song here!" He just told me a lot, is that true? ”

Yu Chen smiled: "Half-truths and half-truths, brother-in-law, you have to remember, those who do our job don't tell the truth, they are all half true and half false." ”

Wu Yu looked at Yu Chen: "Then what did you tell him to let him kill chickens and bleed blood, as well as pick the eaves of the house?" ”

Yu Chen sighed: "The most taboo thing in the land of death and mourning is to see blood, and it is not allowed to fight, let alone kill chickens and bleed blood." That's really no way, when you encounter something that is not easy to solve, the heaviest chicken blood and yang qi can temporarily suppress some things, and the way to treat the symptoms but not the root cause. Because the general funeral accident is the person who is going to be buried has resentment, but the resentment will not be too heavy, the eaves soil on the face will make the deceased mistakenly think that it is his own family, and the person who has just died is not resentful, and generally will not rush to the body of his family. ”

Wu Yu let out an 'oh' sound: "That's the case!" Wouldn't it be nice for us to go to the cemetery now! I read in the novel that 12 o'clock at midnight is the heaviest yin, should we go back at 10 o'clock? ”

Yu Chen looked at Wu Yu, and suddenly smiled evilly: "Brother-in-law, I'm taking you to see a beautiful woman!" It's too late to be seen. ”
