Chapter 166: The Ritual of Washing

Master Ruan instructed on the side, Li Wei first wiped Li Dahong's right head, then the left head, and then put the towel into the basin, and after a few gentle rubs, he continued to wipe the right side of the body, hands and feet, and finally wiped the left body hands and feet, this process was repeated three times, and after three times, one person came to Li Wei with a dry towel.

He picked up a towel, wiped all the water on Li Dahong's body, took the nail clippers from Miss Li, cut the nails of the body's hands and feet, and then put the cut nails into a white burlap bag, tied them tightly with hemp rope, and then handed them over to Miss Li.

At the same time, Miss Li handed Li Wei a wooden comb and asked him to comb the deceased's hair, comb it three times and then four times, and then according to Master Ruan's instructions, the wooden comb was broken, half of which was thrown to the ground, and the other half was given to Miss Li.

After doing all this, with the assistance of several people, he put on linen and cotton pants for the old man, and finally covered the outermost with the blue-navy color shroud that had been prepared long ago.

Li Dahong has a bowl of rice in the shape of a sharp pile in front of his feet, on which is placed a duck egg, two chopsticks are inserted vertically, and a candle is placed on the left side of the rice bowl, which means that it is an everlasting lamp.

Miss Li handed Li Wei three sticks of incense, after taking the incense, Li Wei walked to the location of the everlasting lamp and lit it, bowed lightly to the coffin, and then inserted the incense on a board in front of him, and after the incense, the two knelt together in front of the heel of Li Dahong's body, and continued to burn paper money against the body.

"Farewell ceremony!" Master Ruan suddenly raised his voice, and his voice at this time made people sound yin and yang, like the voice of a eunuch in ancient times.

As soon as the words fell, twelve men and women walked into the hall with various chicken, duck and fish dishes in their hands, at this time, Master Ruan picked up a pair of chopsticks and walked to the first man holding vegetables, picked up some dishes from the plate and put them on Li Dahong's mouth, and at the same time, the yin and yang strange voice sounded in the hall again.

"Jin Yi Lei Stone!"

As soon as the words fell, Master Ruan came to the second lady holding the vegetables again, took some vegetables out of it, and still put them in front of Li Dahong's mouth, and said again: "Tim Ding is rich!" ”

This process has been done twelve times, and for each dish he will recite a yin and yang strange word: filial piety is complete, and blessings fall from heaven...... Ternary & ...... The results are complete, the high-kicking paradise, and the immortal class. After all the twelve sentences were "eaten" by Li Dahong, the entire twelve sentences were also read.

"Begging for money!" Master Ruan stood in front of Li Dahong's head and said to Li Wei and Miss Li.

As soon as the words fell, Li Wei and Miss Li stepped forward, and Master Ruan took out the money that had been prepared from Li Dahong's pocket, and then handed it to the two, and then they took two strips of blue cloth, passed through the money in their hands, and then tied them to their hands.

Immediately afterwards, Master Ruan sprinkled some black sesame oil in a basin of water next to him, and motioned for the two to come, and the two tapped their fingers in the basin according to the instructions, and then applied it to the corners of their eyes to indicate "washing".

After this cleansing ceremony, today's ritual is basically over.

Master Ruan walked in front of Shen Jiangtao and the five people, his eyes skimmed over Shen Jiangtao and Yu Xu, and finally fell on the three girls such as star fruit, and said in a weird manner: "The three of you don't have Mr. Li's girlfriend, but now Mr. Li appears as a filial son, and he is not allowed to have sex together, this rule should be known in your China." ”

Hearing this, Miao Li's ten thousand anger suddenly appeared on her face: "What do I know? Who do you think of us as? ”

Master Ruan didn't say much, and after laughing evilly, he turned to leave.

Miao Li looked at Master Ruan angrily, but out of consideration for her respect for the deceased, she didn't continue to be angry.

I didn't expect the funeral in Vietnam to be so cumbersome, and Li Wei was already sweating profusely.

Li Wei found an opportunity to go to the five of them and asked Shen Jiangtao in a low voice: "There's nothing wrong here, right?" ”

Shen Jiangtao shook his head slightly, frowned slightly, and said: "At present, there is no doubt in my opinion, it may be that I have too little experience about these things, even if there is, unless it is particularly obvious, I can't see it, but preliminarily, except for the fact that the mage with a strange yin and yang spirit is a little special, there is basically nothing." ”

"Mage?" Li Wei turned his head and quietly glanced at Master Ruan, and then whispered, "What's wrong with Master Ruan?" Is there a problem? ”

Shen Jiangtao shook his head again, based on Master Ruan's current performance alone, he was not sure, after all, Master Ruan might be thinking about the Li family, afraid that they would break the rules here.

"What's wrong? Look at him talking like that, the whole eunuch is ...... alive" Miao Li scolded angrily.

"Miao Li is not allowed to talk nonsense." Shen Jiangtao hurriedly stopped.

"Let's talk over there......" Li Wei's face changed, and he took Shen Jiangtao and the five of them to the Li family's restaurant.

The whole restaurant is dominated by square elements, all the perimeter is transparent glass, the glass is all square, the whole restaurant supports a transparent square, the whole transparent square is surrounded by bamboo, it looks like dining in the bamboo forest, the tables in the restaurant are all polished with fine marble, and each table top is inlaid with a gold edge, which looks quite aristocratic.

There were a lot of people in the restaurant, and these people seemed to come to see the deceased, but they were all brought here to entertain them.

There are many people, and the noise is loud in the case of many people, even if they say something that should not be said, others may not be able to hear what they are saying, and it is already noon, but everyone who comes here to pay tribute has to come to the restaurant to eat, so there is no need to worry about being heard by others.

Along the way, Shen Jiangtao and the others didn't even have time to take a sip of water, Professor Li Wei worked even harder, and in less than five minutes after he came in, he was dragged by the Miss Li to do some unknown funeral ceremonies.

"Professor Li, why does your father have to let you be this filial son who is far away from home and has no relatives? Aren't you afraid that something unlucky will happen in the midst of this? Yu Xu took a mouthful of the green Vietnamese vegetables that he didn't know what the name was and put them in his mouth and asked.

Li Wei chewed his mouth, smiled bitterly, and showed helplessness: "My father said that Old Man Li once saved his life, and since then, my father has promised that as long as Old Man Li has something, he will do it if he speaks, so I will ......"
