This seven-star Beidou array is used more frequently in funerals, with three tables for small funerals, five tables for one funeral, and seven tables for big funerals.

Of course, the so-called Seven Stars Beidou Array does not necessarily have to use seven tables, to put it bluntly, it is the idea of playing with seven stars, such as three tables, it is convex in shape, one is facing the coffin, and the remaining two are placed in the position of the left and right back, like this arrangement, suitable for poor families, and there are no descendants.

Speaking of this funeral, I have to mention that this society is to put it bluntly, it is still money in charge, if you have money, you will do it big, and if you don't have money, you will do it small, anyway, the funeral is almost the same, but the difference is just the liveliness. However, the excitement does not mean that the deceased will go smoothly, what can be represented is that the descendants have face on their faces, saying how filial so-and-so is.

In some places, I don't know if people's hearts have changed, or what has happened to society, many rich people take the funeral as a face, and feel that the more lively the funeral, the more face they have, one can show their financial resources, and the other can show their filial piety to the people nearby.

However, before the deceased was alive, the descendants did not care about the deceased, for no other reason than because others could not see it. I have to say that treating the elderly well is more important than mourning. If the old man is unwilling to go, no matter how luxurious and grand the funeral is, it will not be able to offset the old man's resentment.

There is an old saying on our side, 'A sigh at the end of death is ten years of incense', which means that the deceased sighs before dying, and burning incense and worshiping the Buddha for ten years can't withstand that sigh, which is a bit far, back to the point. (Digression: Please be kind to the elderly, it is better to hold a funeral while the old man is alive, respect filial piety more, and do not have a situation where the son wants to support but does not wait, let alone under the guise of a funeral, to increase the so-called face.) ）

Three, five, and seven tables seem to be just two more tables, but in fact, there are a lot of doorways in it, representing how many circles the descendants of the deceased will turn, how many descendants are needed, what kind of Taoist priests are used to lead the way, and what clothes are needed to match, plus the zodiac and the guard, the guard of honor, and so on, there are too many doorways inside.

The seven tables I used this time were just a simple transition, and there was no other meaning in them, so the process was not as complicated and difficult as other funerals.

The placement of these seven tables, the first one is placed on the left side of the mourning hall, corresponding to the Tianshu Star in the sky, and the following six tables, respectively, according to Tianxuan, Tianji, Tianquan, Yuheng, Kaiyang, and Shaoguang, a total of seven star positions, enclose the Nai He Bridge in the middle, put a wooden card on each table, and write the names of the seven stars respectively, (in some places it is written the southeast Zhaoming Luoguo Divine Position,) a pillar of fragrance is inserted under each table, and then a palm-sized tile is placed next to it.

After setting the table, I asked the villagers to knock a gong, light a firecracker, and then burn some yellow paper on the left side of the bridge, insert three pillars of incense, and make three candles, which is considered to have completed the bridge.

After building the Nai He Bridge, it is necessary to give the deceased 'shadow', which is commonly known as the shadow, this shadow over the Nai He Bridge is quite particular, there is a saying since ancient times, women do not make shadows to cross the bridge, men do not make shadows to cross the river. Therefore, the shadow of the female deceased cannot cross the bridge, and I just saved a step, as long as I create a shadow for Liu Jianping.

The so-called 'shadow' is actually a kind of symbol, take some straw and tie it into a scarecrow, and then put the scarecrow in the clothes worn by the deceased before his death, and then write the deceased's birth date on the clothes with a cinnabar pen.

The imaging process is very simple, it took about 30 minutes to get it done, and I put it on Liu Jianping's clothes before his death, at first glance, it really doesn't matter, it's a little like that.

Next, you need to give the shadow psychic, which is commonly known as inviting ghosts to come up, but, because of the relationship of time, I plan to save the psychic until after lunch, so that you can directly start a series of funerals across the Nai He Bridge. After all, it was now close to noon, and everyone was a little hungry, not to mention that Guo Fatzi had not come back since they went to bury the little girl's body.

I put the shadow on the left side of the coffin, took out my mobile phone and made a call to Guo Fatzi, the other end of the phone was quickly connected, and before I could speak, Guo Fatzi shouted angrily, "Brother Jiu, come over quickly, Yang Yan refused to let the little girl be buried, saying that the body would be buried only after studying it thoroughly." ”

Ma De, I knew that Yang Yan's long-haired doctor was unreliable, I scolded angrily in my heart, and asked Guo Fatzi which mountain he was on, and he said, not far away, it is a small hillside diagonally opposite Lotus Village, which is dedicated to burying children.

I raised my eyes and looked around, about 200 meters away from me, there was a small hill, the hillside didn't feel anything, it looked flat, it was a good place to bury children, and it would not attract ominous things and interfere with the peace of children.

I said hello to Liu Ji, asked him to arrange lunch and some things to cross the Naihe Bridge in the afternoon, and then hurried towards the small hillside.

Along the way, I was afraid of delaying time, so I used to run all the time, but fortunately, the anesthetic effect of lidocaine was very good, and there was no pain on my body.

When he arrived at the small hillside, Guo Fatzi was angrily scolding Yang Yan: "Changmao, are you so nervous, the little girl died at such a young age, and you still have to dissect her body like this, I really regret knowing you, it's too embarrassing." ”

Chen Tiannan persuaded on the side: "Forget it, little fat man, everyone's profession is different, and the psychological thoughts are naturally different, for us, the little girl is a corpse, and to him, she is a guinea pig, after all, the doctor's profession is more or less psychologically perverted." ”

That Yang Yan kept his head down and was tinkering with something, and he didn't pay attention to the two of them, and from time to time there were one or two laughs, saying: "The corpse has been in the wild for a few days, and some organs of her body have not died, which is incredible." ”

Hearing this, I couldn't stand it anymore, Chen Tiannan was right, each line looks at things differently. However, for the coffin bearer, wantonly dissecting the body of the deceased is disrespectful to the deceased and can easily cause trouble.

The anger in my heart burned, I strode over, raised my hand and smashed a fist on Yang Yan's back, and then kicked him to the ground again, scolding: "You are so neurotic, be respectful of the dead, doing so will cause trouble, and you will be unlucky." ”

Guo Fatzi and the two of them obviously didn't expect me to be so angry, so they desperately grabbed my hand and said, "Brother Jiu, Brother Jiu, don't be angry, he is just curious to study it." ”
