Listening to Lang Gao's question, I didn't answer his question directly, but thought about it for a while, he said that Bang Zhang should be a kind of funeral supplies on the funeral, there are Bang Zhang, Bang Shaft, Pull Forehead, usually with four characters as more, most of the cases are written straight, written horizontally called Bang Zhang, written vertically called Bang Zhang, and written on the sleeve becomes a pull shaft.

The reason is that the Bang Zhang is a little evil, unless the kind of person who is blind to death, will use the Bang Zhang, one to comfort the deceased, and the other is because the Bang Zhang is evil, so that the deceased can say their grievances at a constant time.

Of course, the 'saying' here does not come from the deceased, but through some changes in the mourning hall, to guess the meaning of the deceased.

Seeing that I didn't speak, Na Lang Gao asked me again, "Brother Jiu, do you want to buy Bang Zhang?" ”

I thought about it for a moment, and then I asked him, "What does the Lord say?" ”

He took a deep breath and explained: "The situation of the deceased's family, as you know, is that it is said that his nephew Zhengyue shaved his head and killed his uncle, and they wanted to hang a banner at the funeral, in order to let the deceased 'tell' the truth. ”

I sneered, if the Lord means, what can we Eight Immortals say? Can only agree. Moreover, Song Guangliang's death was strange, and using Bang Zhang to know the cause of the deceased's death was a way to satisfy the deceased's wishes.

At this point, I nodded and said, "Okay, buy some Bang Zhang, and by the way, buy some flowers." ”

"Flowers?" Lang Gao didn't seem to understand what I meant, and wondered.

I didn't hide it, so I told him that the funeral here in Hubei, unlike our Hengyang side, most of them are mainly sent to chase down flowers, and this kind of flower is mainly yellow / color and white, and there are four main flowers that can appear on the funeral, one is yellow chrysanthemum and white chrysanthemum tied together to express serious mourning, the second is simple white chrysanthemum to express true mourning, the third is aster to express remembrance and mourning, and the fourth is yellow / color and white carnation to express the meaning of remembrance, may the deceased go all the way.

After hearing this, he asked me, "Brother Jiu, what flowers should we buy?" ”

"White calla lilie!" I thought for a moment and said, "This kind of flower expresses sincere condolences, we eight immortals are not related to the deceased, we can't send flowers such as white chrysanthemum, just send white calla lilies to express our hearts." ”

Speaking, I suddenly remembered that I would open the road early tomorrow morning, and now I don't even know the birthday of the deceased, the time is very urgent, I didn't let Lang Gao stay for a long time, so I asked him to buy Bang Zhang and flowers as soon as possible, as for the words on Bang Zhang, I asked Lang Gao not to write first, and wait until I went to Shanghe Village.

Na Lang Gao nodded, and immediately walked towards the town.

After he left, I wanted to ask him if he could buy flowers in the evening. However, thinking that Lang Gao has been here for more than half a year, he is very familiar with the merchants in the town, and as long as he knocks on the door, he should be able to buy these things.

So, I exhaled heavily, didn't think much about it, turned around and walked towards the hotel, because the time was a little urgent, I simply said a few words, and let Yang Yan Chen two cups, go to the town to find Lang Gao, and I sat in the hotel with the old man.

"You always said before, there is something to discuss, and now you and I are left in the whole hotel, I don't know, can you talk about it now?" I asked him without humility or arrogance.

The old man glanced up at the hotel, stood up, and said with a smile: "The hotel is a crowded place after all, so be it!" The old man goes for a walk outside with you, which is a walk after dinner! ”

As he spoke, the old man walked straight to the door, and I didn't want to keep up, but my intuition told me that the old man should have something important to tell me.

Out of the hotel, the white moonlight sprinkled on the ground, a trace of cool breeze blew on the face, and a few rays of light shone on the ground in the houses, making the street extraordinarily bright, as if it was daytime, and there were occasionally a few pedestrians on the road who looked hurried and walked towards the outside of the town, if they guessed correctly, these people should be going to Shanghe Village.

I walked on the street with the old man, no one spoke, and after walking for about two or three hundred meters, the old man suddenly stopped and said, "Xiao Jiu, let's sit in this pavilion!" ”

With that, he walked straight into the pavilion.

I looked up and saw a small pavilion in front of me, three meters in shape, four pillars towering on the ground, covered with glazed tiles, two long cement benches in the pavilion were placed on the left and right, and the old man was sitting on the cement bench on the left.

I walked in, sat down next to the old man, perhaps because I was not very good at dealing with strangers, and did not speak, took out my cigarette, and handed it to the old man.

"The old man doesn't smoke!" He smiled, his eyes glancing at me, and then looked around as if to see if there was anyone.

It made me wonder, what the hell did he have to say?

The old man seemed to see through my thoughts, and said with a smile: "Xiao Jiu, there are no outsiders here, the old man will tell you straight to the point!" I hope you forgot about Fuxian Lake. ”

I was stunned, what do you mean? Forgot about Fuxian Lake? How did he know about Fuxian Lake?

I looked at him suspiciously, didn't speak, and waited for the old man to follow.

He smiled and said: "Xiao Jiu, some things are not as simple as they seem, the old man will give you an analogy, you and I are sitting in this pavilion, and people passing by only need to glance at us, preconceived that we are the two ancestors and grandchildren, and is this really the case?" ”

I didn't understand what he meant, so I asked him, "What do you want to say?" ”

He smiled, raised his eyes to look at the sky, and said in a deep voice: "Everything cannot be observed with the naked eye, you need to go deep into it to understand its true meaning, the old man still said that, forget about Fuxian Lake, when I have never been there in my life!" ”

I was depressed by what he said, people live, there are some things that can be forgotten, this is not difficult for strong people, besides, so many things happened in Fuxian Lake, how could I forget, so I said to him: "I'm afraid this thing is a little difficult!" ”

He didn't speak, he took something out of his arms and shook it in front of my eyes.

With his flicker, my eyes were immediately attracted, he took out a white/clean lotus, maybe because of time, the lotus has completely wilted, even so, the lotus is already beautiful, the reason is that the petals of this lotus have countless insects, the insect is extremely small, less than half of the ant, incredibly, the insect is attached to the petals, so that the whole lotus flower exudes a dazzling light.

"What is this?" I asked, confused.

"The white lotus blooms, the king of Ming is born, and Maitreya is born, urging the rich to benefit the poor." When he said this, the old man's tone was particularly light. (To be continued.) )
