Liu Ji saw that I was not very interested in his words, and he said a little angrily: "Boy, Chen Papi dares to come today, Lao Tzu will let you see my Liu Ji's ability." ”

I didn't get along with him for long, but I was used to his bragging, so I didn't pay attention to him anymore, and shouted to the villagers who came to help: "Everyone come and help build the Nai He Bridge." ”

Because I had injuries on my body, those Eight Immortals Table couldn't move, so I stood on the opposite side of the mourning hall, put a thumbs up in front of my eyes, looked at Liu Jianping's coffin a few times, and used the principle of two points and a straight line, adjusted the position several times, and finally found an accurate position, so I asked the villagers to move a Eight Immortals Table and put it in this position.

Subsequently, in front of and behind this table of eight immortals, two tables of eight immortals were placed, and the three tables of eight immortals formed a straight line with the coffin.

Then, put two Eight Immortal Tables on top, these two Eight Immortal Tables need to be separated by six centimeters, and finally put another table on top of these two Eight Immortal Tables.

After setting up the table, I asked the villagers to tie two dustpans on the table on the third floor, and the rope for the dustpan needs to be made of coarse linen, which has the meaning of filial piety in it, which is helpful for crossing the bridge.

After doing all this, Liu Ji came over with a roll of white cloth and said: "The village thinks that Liu Jianping has no descendants and has not prepared so many white cloths, and this white cloth is borrowed from someone else's house, does it matter?" ”

I was stunned for a moment, according to customs, the white cloth used in the funeral cannot be borrowed, and whoever borrows the white cloth will be unlucky for a while. Of course, it's not that there is no way to crack it, I asked Liu Ji to tell the family that when crossing the Nai He Bridge, you need to stick a red thing on your forehead, don't come out to watch.

He nodded, dropped the white cloth and left, I asked the villagers to spread the white cloth, knead it into a fist of white thread, and then tie one end to the end of the coffin, and then close the coffin lid to expose the head of the deceased.

It is worth mentioning that the corner of the coffin lid should be next to a white cloth, and I was afraid that something would happen, so I glued the white cloth to the coffin lid.

"Chen Baxian, why did you pull this white cloth and pull it out of the mourning hall directly, or how to get it?" A thinner villager next to me asked me.

I took a look at the mourning hall, and this person was very correct in what he asked, the white cloth used to build the mourning hall generally needs to be torn out from the entrance of the hall, which means that the deceased will become an official in the next life, and he will rise step by step.

But the mourning hall in front of me was built temporarily, not to mention that there was not even a door at the door, but a room was surrounded by wooden boards, and the entrance was very empty.

I thought for a while, and then I asked the man to find two stout paulownia trees and put them up at the entrance to act as the doorway.

The man nodded, and soon carried two paulownia trees on his back, dug two 50-centimeter-deep holes at the entrance of the mourning hall, and then buried one end of the paulownia tree, accompanied by a stone, at first glance, it felt like a door.

I stretched out my hand and shook the paulownia tree, which was quite strong, so I asked the man to find a ladder, take a white cloth and circle around the paulownia tree, and then pull it to the position of the bridge.

A white cloth to wrap the entire Nai He Bridge is a technical job, and ordinary people can't complete it. I didn't care about the pain in my body, so I took the white cloth from the man's hand, first circled the side leg of the first Eight Immortals table, and then found a small wooden stool, put it on the ground, and climbed to the second floor.

As soon as I climbed to the second floor, I was in such pain that sweat was pouring out of my forehead. However, I don't feel at ease to let others build it, after all, it is my job to cross the bridge with the 'shadow' of the deceased on my back, in case it is not strong and I fall from it.

Let's not talk about the bridge, but I fell from it with an injury, and my feet will be broken if I keep breaking my hands, so I have to do it myself.

I stretched out my hand to wipe the sweat on my forehead, and circled the table leg on the side of the Eight Immortals Table on the second floor, afraid that it was not strong enough, I put one foot against the table leg and pulled hard until I couldn't pull it.

Then I had someone hand me the wooden stool and climb up to the third floor. This third layer is an important task, because it is the top layer, and the shaking force is greater than the bottom, and another important reason is that this layer needs to wrap the edge of the top half of the dustpan with a white cloth.

Climbing up to the third floor, I circled the legs as before, firmly, and then parted the white cloth a little and placed it over the edge of the dustpan.

Originally, the white cloth could have been used to hold it in place, but when the edge of the dustpan was covered, that advantage was lost.

I thought about removing the dustpan, but since then, the Nai He Bridge is no longer called the Nai He Bridge, how can there be a bridge without guardrails? This dustpan plays the role of a guardrail, and has the meaning of the finishing touch in it.

After making the dustpan, I crawled to the second layer behind and tied the white cloth according to the previous method, but because of the dustpan, I didn't dare to tie it too tightly, mainly for fear that the tension would be too strong, and the dustpan would be crushed.

After tying one side of the Nai He Bridge, I pulled the white cloth on the other side and tinkered for a while, and I was busy for more than an hour, the whole Nai He Bridge was presented in front of me, and it looked like a bit of the momentum of the bridge in it, but this bridge was mostly white, as if this Nai He Bridge was a shadow projected from the direction of the coffin, which made people feel timid.

"Fellow, please put a small wooden bench in front of the Eight Immortals Table on each floor and use it as a bridge ladder." After building the bridge, I said to the man beside me, who nodded and went to find a stool.

I was about to arrange the placement of the other seven Eight Immortal Tables, when a sharp pain suddenly came from my body, I took out my mobile phone and looked at it, it was half past nine, two hours had passed, and the effect of lidocaine had passed, so before Yang Yan left, put the medicine and needle on me.

I didn't care about any medical care, so I took out the medicine bottle and smashed it, took a syringe and sucked some potions, and stabbed it in my arm.

With just such a stab, the pain in the body is much relieved, and some things are really good in medicine, such as this lidocaine.

After waiting for a few minutes, smoking a cigarette, and after the pain in my body had subsided, I began to arrange for the villagers to set up seven more tables of eight immortals.

These seven tables of eight immortals are used for transition, and the so-called transition is the same as the land route to be taken before crossing the bridge. If you directly carry the 'shadow' of the deceased across the Nai He Bridge, the deceased's resentment will be too heavy, and it is easy for the Nai He Bridge to have an accident or even collapse.

Therefore, before crossing the Nai He Bridge, it is necessary to offset part of the grievances of the deceased, and to offset the grievances of the deceased, it is necessary to use these seven tables to set up a 'Seven Star Beidou Array' for the transition of the deceased.

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.
