At that moment, I shouted into the hall, "Prepare for the corpse!" ”

As I spoke, I arranged He Yuemin and the other villagers on the left side of the hall, and told them that I did not signal them to sit at the table, and they must not touch the table of the Eight Immortals.

They mumbled and said yes, and all actions were under command.

Afterwards, I took some yellow paper and stood in front of the first table of eight immortals, Lang Gao stood at the door with a kitchen knife, and Chen Erbei stood at the door wearing a shroud.

In this way, we waited for a while, and soon, it was 2 o'clock.

I raised my voice and shouted, "Today is June 27, 2006, I am ordered by the Lord to hold a funeral for the deceased He Yaoguang. ”

After speaking, I lit a few pieces of yellow paper, shook it towards the table of the Eight Immortals, and then threw the yellow paper in my hand into the air.

After the yellow paper hit the ground, I gave Lang Gao a look, meaning to ask him to knock on the door with a knife.

He replied, banged, and knocked on the door. (Note: This time, it is a threat to the nearby lonely ghosts, so that they dare not live in the house.) ）

Immediately afterward, I immediately signaled to Chen Erbei and shouted in a long voice: "Please... Corpse... Enter... Hall. ”

Chen Erbei looked stunned, and immediately walked towards the door, and when I was about to cross the threshold, I began to shout in my mouth, "Wash it, wash away the injustices of the previous life." ”

As soon as the words fell, Chen Erbei put his hands into the basin on the threshold, and washed his hands symbolically, and I shouted again: "Second wash, wash away the past life." ”

He washed his hands symbolically again, and I shouted again: "Three washes, wash away the debts of the past life." ”

Na Chen Erbei put his hand into the basin for the third time, washed it, and stepped into the hall.

As soon as he stepped into the hall, I immediately gave Lang Gao a look.

Na Langgao and I had a good tacit understanding, and immediately picked up a firecracker, and lit it at the position standing at the door of the hall, and a crackling sound sounded. It is worth mentioning that this corpse is the most important part of the whole funeral, so this firecracker must be long and set off for a long time.

It took three minutes for the firecrackers to stop.

"Please... Corpse... Enter... Mat! I shouted again.

The second cup of Chen followed my shout, walked towards the Taishi chair, walked down slowly, and then put his hands on the table of the Eight Immortals.

After he sat down, I burned some yellow paper again, and inserted three pillars of incense under the table of the Eight Immortals, what puzzled me was that no matter from the 'corpse' entering the door to the table, during this period I felt like an ordinary person entering the table, and there was no sense of oppression like a corpse at all.

In other words, this ceremony is not like a ceremony at all, but more like inviting someone to dinner, but the etiquette is more orthodox.

With this doubt in mind, I lit a pair of candles and put them on the table of the Eight Immortals, and glanced into the hall again, to my disappointment, there was nothing dull in the hall except for a faint puff of smoke.

As we all know, there will be a very strange atmosphere in general funerals, and that atmosphere gives people an inexplicable sense of depression.

And now the atmosphere of the whole hall is exceptionally fresh, what is going on?

I was slightly stunned for a moment, and once again raised my voice and shouted, "The sky and the earth are vast and the moon is sad, and the grass is beautiful and frosty, in this heavy and painful day, on behalf of the main family, I would like to welcome all the villagers to the table. ”

As I spoke, I glanced at He Yuemin, meaning that I could sit down.

He Yuemin immediately nodded, and led some villagers from Tama Village to the table, and when he was seated, I asked Lang Gao to set off a firecracker, the intention of which was to welcome these people to the funeral.

When the firecrackers were over, I looked inside the hall again, and to my disappointment, there was still no atmosphere in the hall.

Mad, hell alive, it is said that the more unusual ritual of feasting corpses will happen more or less unusually, but now, all this is calm.

I don't know why, but I began to pray in my heart that something strange would happen when the villagers were seated, even if it was a stool that moved inexplicably.

However, I was very disappointed in the result, and the villagers were able to sit down smoothly and chatted with laughter.

Seeing this situation, I really didn't know what to say, so I had to suppress the doubts in my heart, found a bamboo basket and put it on the right side of Chen Er's cup, threw some yellow paper into it, and said: "When you can eat the internal organs, you can just take a symbolic bite, and the rest of the things are poured into the basket." ”

He nodded and gestured at me again, meaning he understood.

Seeing this, I hummed and glanced at the table of the eight immortals, and the things placed on it were, nine rice, three animals, wine glasses, internal organs, oil, salt and vinegar, and pictures of the deceased, and the things that should be prepared were all on it.

I exhaled heavily, my eyes swept over the hall, and I shouted in a long voice: "Gu Wenren, or from the corpse, rite... Rise! ”

As soon as these words came out, the villagers didn't seem to understand what they meant, and several pairs of eyes looked at me, and their eyes were full of doubt.

I'm in a bit of a hurry, Made, I forgot to tell them before, and now I'm doing the ritual, and I can't say anything else, so I have to look at Lang Gao for help.

Na Lang Gao is not a material who has been the director, and immediately reacted and shouted: "Everyone be quiet, the corpse is about to be eaten, don't touch the food on the table first, and after the 'corpse' eats, everyone can start eating." ”

As soon as I heard this, I nodded to Lang Gao with satisfaction, picked up the oil, salt and vinegar on the table of the Eight Immortals with both hands, shook it vigorously, and shouted: "Three foods are dipped in three sauces, one sauce is descended for thousands of generations, two sauces are rich and noble for thousands of years, and three sauces are gold and silver for ten thousand taels." ”

After shouting this, I put the oil, salt and vinegar on the table of the Eight Immortals, lifted a bottle of liquor from the side, poured a small amount of wine into the wine glass, and shouted: "Drink a glass of wine, show filial piety, and have a heart." ”

I said this to tell Chen Erbei, let him drink a glass of wine, and then choose one from the five internal organs, dip some three sauces, eat it raw, and then eat a mouthful of rice. (This is called a meal in the corpse, which means that there is a meal to go to annoyance.) ）

Na Chen Erbei quickly understood what I meant, drank all the wine in the cup, and then selected the chicken kidney from the five internal organs, dipped it in a little three sauce, took a symbolic bite, and finally threw the remaining chicken kidney on the side of the basket.

During this period, I kept staring at Chen Erbei, and what puzzled me was that his demeanor and expression did not change from normal people, even when he bit the chicken kidney, he just frowned, and there was nothing unusual at all.

Made, no, Yin Wei had already invited He Yaoguang's soul before, and it was said that it was impossible for the corpse to have no abnormalities, and these strange things would appear more or less.

But now, there are signs that the deceased is not in the hall at all, what is the matter?

Don't...

No way!

This thought flashed through my mind, and I lost the interest in continuing to do the corpse, so I immediately took out the yin and yang hexagram that I carried with me, muttered a few words softly, and threw the yin and yang hexagram to the ground.

Made, could it be that He Yaoguang's last words were true?

If that's the case, then...

Not good, dangerous.

I shouted involuntarily, and immediately walked towards Lang Gao, "Big brother, I need to go back to prison, and the next funeral needs to be handled by you." ”

He was stunned and surprised: "Why? Aren't you going back to prison tomorrow? Why did you change your mind all of a sudden? ”

I didn't know how to explain it to him, and I didn't care if he understood it, so I said, "The next ritual is that every time you drink a glass of wine, you let Chen Erbei eat a mouthful of five internal organs and six internal organs raw, and then eat one bite of rice, and when you take the last bite of food, you need to eat three mouthfuls of five internal organs and six internal organs at the same time." ”

As I spoke, I paused and continued: "After the internal organs are eaten, you light a firecracker and put it in the basket, and wait until five o'clock, you will light the basket again, and the remaining residue will be packed in a black box, find a dry place and bury it in the ground, and the corpse will be over." In addition, the yang disgust at night, roughly singing night songs, can be replaced by Chen Erbei. ”

Since I have been thinking about the deceased in my heart, where can I care if Lang Gao understands or not, I immediately ran to Chen Erbei, told him about Yege, and ran out towards the entrance of the village without stopping, and Lang Gao's shout came from behind, "Brother Jiu, what's wrong, what are you going to do!" ”

I kept running on my feet, and without looking back, I shouted, "Wait for me in this village for three months, and after three months, I will come back!" ”
