To be honest, when I was tinkering with the paper, the movements on my hand were very light, for fear of breaking the paper, which was no choice, the paper paste was of this quality, and I couldn't expect it to be as casual as wood, right?

I first put all the paper on a flat in front of the hall door, and then asked Lao Wang and the others to find seven Eight Immortal Tables and arrange them according to the position of the Big Dipper. (The Big Dipper: Tianshu, Tianxuan, Tianji, Tianquan, Yuheng, Kaiyang, and Shaking Light.) ）

As soon as the table of the Eight Immortals was set up, the old Wang came over and asked me how to arrange the paper house, the paper people and the paper furniture.

I thought about it for a while, the table of eight immortals in the funeral has a special meaning, just like the tabletop, the above the table represents the sky, and the table below the table represents the earth, and the table is equivalent to distinguishing the heaven and the earth, which is a medium.

According to the rules of the funeral, all paper people must stand on the ground, that is, next to the table, but if the funeral bought a paper house, if the person is placed next to the table, the paper house will also stand on the ground, and there will be a room pressure paper man, resulting in those paper people to the underworld is inflexible, in fashionable terms, that is, the paper man will become a stunned person when he arrives in the underworld.

After thinking about it for a while, I decided to put the paper figure on the table, that is, let the paper figure stand on top of the house. In this way, pressing the house with a paper figure can bring some good luck to the deceased. To put it bluntly, when the deceased is reincarnated, the birth will be better.

Of course, these are rules, and I don't know if they are useful or not. After all, I've always lived in the underworld, and I've never been to the underworld, so God knows if it's useful.

However, since the ancestors said so, there must be a reason in it, and we, the descendants, will definitely not be wrong if we follow the rules.

However, if the paper figures are placed on the table of the eight immortals, the problem arises, and when the funeral begins, these paper figures need to be burned with fire, once they are burned, the table of the eight immortals will definitely burn, and the medium of burning the table of the eight immortals is small, and the medium of burning the heaven and earth of the funeral is a big matter.

I told Lao Wang about my worries.

After hearing this, he thought for a while, and then said, "Spread some mud and sand on the table, and you won't be able to burn the table of the eight immortals." ”

As soon as I heard this, I gave Lao Wang a thumbs up, worthy of being an old eight immortals, and he had more ideas than me, a newcomer.

Later, we picked up some mud and sand near the village and spread it on the tabletop, I was afraid that the thickness was not enough, so I was stunned after laying two centimeters on the tabletop.

The next thing is to put the paper man, this paper man does not mean that it can be placed on the table of the eight immortals, it must be placed according to certain rules, because the table of the eight immortals is placed according to the Big Dipper Seven Star Array, so the paper man must also follow the rules of the Big Dipper.

The Heavenly Pivot of the Big Dipper Array, in the eyes of our Eight Immortals, is the head of the array, that is, the meaning of the leading array, which plays a leading role. The table of the eight immortals in this position cannot put paper people, once the paper people are placed in this position, it will take away the aura of the funeral, and there is the meaning of taking the lead in it.

Some people will definitely ask, what was put in the pivot that day? It's very simple, there can only be one thing in the Tianshu position, the paper box, that is, the box I exchanged with Mr. Fan with a red envelope, and the box contains the key to the paper house.

Then, I put the paper box on the Tianshu position, and put the paper figures on the remaining six Eight Immortals tables, it is worth noting that two paper figures are placed on each table, one left and one right, and cannot be placed in the center of the table.

After putting the paper figures, I looked at the houses that were tied with paper, which were two-story small western-style buildings, about one meter and five meters high, about the same size as the real house, and reached out and touched them, those houses were very tight, about thirty pounds.

"Nine Guys, where are these houses?" Lao Wang on the side asked.

"Put a house on the left side of each Eight Immortal Table, and keep a distance of seven centimeters in the middle." I thought about it for a while, Lao Wang bought a total of fourteen paper figures, seven houses, two paper figures were placed at the door of the hall before, a total of twelve paper figures were placed in the six positions of Tianxuan, Tianji, Tianquan, Yuheng, Kaiyang, and Shaoguang, and now there are seven houses next to the seven tables, and they just put all those paper bundles in the Dharma field.

"Good!" Lao Wang answered, pulled the tall guy to carry the paper houses to the left side of the Eight Immortals table, measured the distance with a ruler, and then moved the paper houses, and finally put those houses one by one.

"What's next?" As soon as the house was set up, Lao Wang asked.

I was stunned for a moment, so I asked Lao Wang what time it was, and he said that it was almost 8 o'clock, and I said, start the funeral at eight o'clock, let them go to the coffin to guard first, and prepare gongs, firecrackers and some tools used in the funeral by the way.

They hummed and went back to the hall, and I was left alone in the whole flat area, I took a few deep breaths, looked up and looked up at the law field that had just been arranged, and I was quite satisfied. Since this funeral was somewhat important, I was afraid of a mistake, so I went to Mr. Fan to ask if the position of the paper was correct.

He didn't look at the paper directly, but stared at me for a while, and slowly said: "Chen Baxian, there must be this attitude in funerals, whether you understand it or not, only by asking a few more people can you ensure the absolute safety of the funeral, and there will be no accidents, don't be arrogant." ”

I snorted, I used to do funerals, it was indeed as Mr. Fan said, I thought I understood, everything is up to me alone, and sometimes I didn't even take Lao Wang's opinion to heart.

Just when I was stunned, Mr. Fan nodded with satisfaction and said, "This paper bundle is placed in a very correct position, but there is one thing you have forgotten. ”

"Which point?" I asked nervously.

"Furniture!" He said.

As soon as I heard this, I suddenly realized that I had always remembered the paper people and the paper house, and I actually forgot about the paper furniture.

Thinking of this, I immediately asked Mr. Fan: "In your opinion, how should those furniture be placed?" ”

He smiled and made a gesture asking for money at me.

When I saw this action, I really couldn't cry or laugh, I touched my trouser pocket, there was no money, so I asked Lao Wang for twelve yuan, found a red envelope, put the money in it, and handed it to Mr. Fan.

"Can you say that?" I asked angrily.

He smiled with satisfaction, stuffed the red envelope into his pocket, and said: "In the old man's opinion, furniture is the soul of the house, and an unfurnished house is like an empty land, burned to the underworld, and it is not very useful, so it's not very useful, so it's not very useful! ”

As he spoke, he glanced at me again and said in a deep voice, "Therefore, the furniture needs to be placed on the Eight Immortals Table in the Heavenly Pivot Position. ”

I don't understand what he means, according to my thoughts, furniture is the sundries in the room, and it should be piled up at the end of the Big Dipper Array, that is, at the position of 'shaking light', and it can be burned there.

There is a reason why I think so, those paper-tied furniture are just a formality, and the etiquette is on the line, the focus is on those houses and paper people, which is the most important thing.

This is like burning yellow paper, in some places you can tear the yellow paper one by one and burn it, and in some places you need to fold the yellow paper in half and burn it, and in our eight immortals, the focus of burning yellow paper is to burn, not in what shape to burn.

However, with Mr. Fan's meaning, putting the paper-tied furniture on the Eight Immortals Table in the Tianshu Seat is a bit of putting the cart before the horse. After all, the Heavenly Pivot is at the head of the Big Dipper Star Array, and the first position of Yin Qi is the Heavenly Pivot, that is to say, the things in that position are the first to burn to the underworld.
