308.Chapter 308: The Coffin of the Nine Sons (28)
I was afraid of an accident, so I deliberately leaned on the old hero's chest and listened, but there was no heartbeat.
"What's going on?" The son of the Lu family walked up to me and asked softly.
I shook my head, didn't speak, reached out and touched the old hero's abdomen, the first feeling was cold, the second feeling was hard, and then the feeling was that it was a scar, it should be touching the scar on the old hero's body.
Looking at the old hero's face again, his eyes were closed, there was a satisfied smile on the corner of his mouth, and his face was that kind of vegetable leaf green, which belonged to the normal appearance of a dead man.
Seeing this, I didn't rush to wrap it, but found some yellow paper, handed it to the Lu family's son, and said, "As the eldest son, burn some inverted paper first, and I'll go find something." ”
He took the yellow paper and asked me, "What are you looking for?" ”
I glanced at him, and I didn't feel very good about this person, so the tone of my voice was not very good, "Knock the gate, make a spiritual bed, you just kneel in front of the bed and pour less paper." ”
The so-called inverted head paper is the name of Quyang's side, which is similar to our Hengyang's guide paper, and it is also eighteen catties and eight taels, but our Hengyang's guide paper is burned by the deceased's filial son and grandson, and Quyang's side is burned by the eldest son.
When he heard me say this, his face flashed with a hint of displeasure, and he didn't say anything, but knelt down in front of the bed with the yellow paper, and burned the head paper.
Then, I came to the door, and after a lot of effort, I saw a lot of people standing outside the door, the old lady standing in the middle, and the other eight sons of the Lu family stood on either side of her, and dozens of metaphysical masters behind her.
I ignored those people, and was about to leave with the door on my shoulder, when Lu Yaodong stopped me and said, "Chen Baxian, can I go in and burn some inverted paper for my father?" ”
As soon as these words came out, several other members of the Lu family chimed in: "Yes, we also want to go in and burn the hair paper for our father." ”
"No way!" I directly refused their request, I remember Lao Wang told me that on Quyang's side, the burning of the head paper must be burned by the eldest son, if others burn it, one of the dead will not receive it, and the other will let the nearby lonely ghosts come to grab the yellow paper.
"Boy, why do you say no!" This was said by Lu Qiusheng, his face was calm, and his tone was very threatening.
I ignored him, for me, the funeral must be in accordance with the rules of the funeral, who cares what your identity is, let alone a businessman, even if it is the governor of a certain province, as long as I am invited to do the funeral, it must be done in accordance with the rules.
"Boy, you dare to take another step, be careful that Quyang's train can't run Hengyang." Then Lu Qiusheng spoke again.
I stopped, turned my head, glanced at him, and said lightly: "Before the old hero dies, let me wrap up his old man, and the old hero is lying there, you want to go against his old man's will?" ”
"You..." Lu Qiusheng was angry, and was about to get angry, when he saw the old lady beside him speak, "Qiusheng, this is what your father meant, you are powerful outside, I can't control you!" When you get to my earthen house, you'd better be honest with me. ”
"Mother, don't get me wrong, the son has no other meaning, he just wants to go in and burn some inverted paper for his father, so that the father can know his son's filial piety." Lu Qiusheng hurriedly explained.
"Don't pretend, who here doesn't know that you Lu Qiusheng came to the aura on the old hero, and who doesn't know that you Lu Qiusheng wants to inherit the priority of the old hero?" I was also so angry that I directly said what I wanted to say.
"Boy, you'd better not get an inch!" Lu Qiusheng yelled at me.
"Smack!" The old lady was very angry, raised her hand and slapped Lu Qiusheng's face, and said angrily: "What are you roaring, your father is just getting angry, is he going to start arguing?" ”
"Mother, son doesn't dare!" Lu Qiusheng rubbed his face, and returned to his usual smile.
However, the eyes he looked at me were extremely vicious, which made me shudder, Made, after wrapping, the funeral will be handed over to someone else, what do you do with nine sons and nine mournings, then Lu Qiusheng will definitely not let me go.
Thinking of this, I smiled wryly, didn't stay any longer, and walked in front of the old hero with the door behind my back.
I first found some yellow paper, wiped the door clean on both sides, and then made a gesture towards the door, and said, "Door, door!" Before the burial, you need a spiritual bed, you can only grieve your two elders, and I hope that the two door gods, the old hero will go all the way! ”
My behavior is called moving the body, which is the funeral custom of Quyang, and the custom here is not to wrap it directly, but to put the deceased on the funeral bed first, and then wipe the body of the deceased on the funeral bed.
I used to hear Lao Wang say that people here believe in a saying, move the body early, get rich early, so, after death, you need to move the body as soon as possible, not put it on the bed for a long time, one will affect the wealth of future generations, and the other is that people will be in bed for a long time after death, which means that the deceased will be hunched in the next life.
As for why you want to use the door, it is because there are two door gods in the door: Qin Qiong and Yu Chigong. It is said that these two door gods can suppress the lonely spirits and wild ghosts around them, let the deceased lie on them, and can protect the soul of the deceased from being violated.
Of course, these are customs, and I don't know exactly what is going on, and I am not interested in knowing, so I know to do it according to custom.
After reading those words, I found a red cloth and spread it on the door, this red cloth is called the happy cloth, the old hero is a longevity immortal, there is a meaning of joy and mourning in it.
After laying out the red cloth, I burned some yellow paper at the door of the room and made a few more folds. Then tie a slipknot in the lower left corner of the red cloth (the deceased is a woman, tie a slipknot in the lower right corner), this slipknot has two meanings in it, one is that the grievances and grievances of the deceased in this life will end, and the other is to wish the deceased an easy life in the next life.
After getting this done, I asked the Lu family to take the hand to move the old hero's body to the door, he was a little reluctant, and said: "Young man, my father left a will, let you wrap it, isn't it up to you to get it alone?" ”
As soon as I heard this, I was also very drunk, so I stared at him for a while, and said, "Are you sure you won't help?" ”
"No, I've been timid since I was a child, and I'm most afraid of seeing corpses, so I can't do it, so let those metaphysical masters help!" He was stunned for a moment and said this.
I finally understood the meaning of this, and after a long time, the son of the Lu family was afraid, and I didn't embarrass him, muttering: "It is said that the descendants who move the body of the deceased will have better luck." ”
"Really?" The son of the Lu family looked happy and grabbed my arm.
I nodded, didn't speak, and despised this Lu family very much in my heart, Made, when I heard that it was beneficial, I immediately stopped being afraid, I was really mercenary. think, how majestic the old hero is on the battlefield, how many Japanese devils he killed, how did he give birth to a son, so pustuated and snobbish, he is really a tiger father and a dog.
