After speaking, I threw the yin and yang hexagram into the air, stared at the yin and yang hexagram with both eyes, and after the yin and yang hexagram landed, I jumped a few times on the ground.

Just these few beats, affecting the hearts of several of us, if this yin and yang hexagram is a treasure hexagram, it means that the deceased did not care about what happened in the mourning hall, and agreed to continue to open the road today. If it's a yang hexagram or a yin and yang, not only does she not agree to open the way, but there is another meaning in it, the deceased is conveying a message to us, and she is very mindful of what happens in the mourning hall.

In this way, this funeral will become very difficult, and many ceremonial things need to be done again.

The yin and yang hexagram jumped on the ground seven or eight times in a row, and finally, one side of the single hexagram stopped, it was yang. (Note: The single hexagram is one of the sides of the yin and yang hexagram, and the two sides of the single hexagram together are the complete yin and yang hexagram.) ）

We held our breath and stared at the other side of the single hexagram, not even daring to blink our eyes, and the other side of the single hexagram did not know what was going on, as if there was a mysterious force in control, and jumped several times in a row.

One, two, three, four.

It wasn't until the fifth time that the single hexagram stopped, and to our disappointment, this single hexagram also showed yang, plus the previous single hexagram, two sides of the rising sun, belonged to the yang hexagram, which is not a good sign.

"What to do?" Ah Da stood up and asked me.

At the moment when Ah Da stood up, something happened that I will never forget, the single hexagram obviously stopped, but as if someone picked it up, it jumped again inexplicably and turned yin.

As soon as I saw this, I looked at the single hexagram in disbelief, and said in a trembling voice: "The hexagram has changed, it is a treasure hexagram." ”

They looked into my eyes, breathed a sigh of relief, kowtowed to the coffin, and shouted, "Manifestation, grandmother." ”

"Auntie has appeared."

"Mother-in-law has appeared."

Although it is a good thing that the treasure hexagram appears, I am vaguely uneasy in my heart. Since 2005, I have participated in more than 20 funerals, and I have never seen such a strange thing in the mourning hall.

I deeply understand this, and I don't dare to be careless, so I stretched my voice and shouted, "After the ceremony, the descendants please get up." ”

After they stood up, I bent down and picked up the yin and yang hexagram, just touched the yin and yang hexagram, the feeling of starting was very cold, and the temperature of the other side of the single hexagram was just moderate, Made, what's the matter, the two sides of the single hexagram, put in the same place, why is the temperature difference so big?

I was full of doubts, picked up the single hexagram and looked at it carefully, reached out and touched it, it was a little damp and slimy, as if someone had poured a small amount of honey on it, it was very weird.

"Brother Jiu, why are you stunned? The deceased had promised to open the way, was it time to prepare. Guo Fatzi walked over and stretched out his hand to push me.

"Do you have a problem with this single hexagram?" I handed the hexagram to Guo Fatzi.

"Seems a little sticky!" Guo Fatzi wondered.

Hearing him say this, I waved to the stammerer again, handed him the single hexagram over there, and said, "Do you see if there is a problem?" ”

He walked over, took the single hexagram and touched it, frowned, and said, "It's a little sticky." ”

Made, it's a dog, when I threw the yin and yang hexagram just now, the two sides of the single hexagram obviously felt the same way, why did it become like this now, is the deceased unwilling to open the way?

As soon as this thought arose in my mind, seven Taoist priests came to the door of the mourning hall, and the leader was an eight immortals, this person I knew, in his forties, had been following Liu Kai.

After he came in, he walked straight to me, bent down at me, and said, "Chen Baxian, you rescued Boss Liu from the coffin earlier, and in return, these seven Taoist priests lent you to open the way, and the salary was as usual." I hope you finish this funeral, at 12 noon on the sixth day of the new year, go to the auditorium in front of the town government, our eight immortals in Dongxing Town need to hold a meeting of the eight immortals, set up some rules, fighting will only offend the dead, I don't know how many strange things will happen. ”

"Liu Kai's idea?" I glared at his face, a little puzzled.

"The hospital said that Boss Liu had lost his mind and went crazy, he was a madman in this life, this idea is our group of eight immortals spontaneously organized, and when the time comes, we will invite some Taoist priests, merchants, town government leaders and other towns in Dongxing Town to do funerals, you are the most famous eight immortals in our Dongxing Town, please lead your group of eight immortals to participate on the sixth day of the new year, and you also need to give a reasonable explanation for the matter of sticking red paper on the coffin." He spoke in a respectful tone.

"Okay, I will definitely take Lao Wang and them on the sixth day of the new year." I agreed, and suddenly thought that it would take sixteen eight immortals to carry the coffin, and there were not so many eight immortals around me, so I said to him: "I don't know if you can lend me some eight immortals, this coffin is a bit heavy, and the eight eight immortals will definitely not be able to lift it, I want to use sixteen eight immortals, eight to carry and eight supports, to send the deceased up the mountain for burial." ”

"Eight lifts and eight supports?" He was stunned for a moment and said, "It's worthy of Chen Eight Immortals, this idea has also come up with it, how many Eight Immortals do you need?" ”

I calculated, now there are people around me who can carry the coffin, Guo Fatzi, stammering, thin monkey and five other eight immortals, the tall guy has a leg injury, he must not be able to carry the coffin, and there are still eight eight immortals.

So, I made an eight gesture to him and said, "Eight Eight Immortals are needed." ”

"Okay, arrange for eight powerful Eight Immortals to come over at night." As he spoke, the man bowed to me again, left the seven Taoist priests behind, and withdrew.

After the man left, I took a few steps forward and gave each of the seven Taoist priests a red envelope and a pack of white sand cigarettes, and said, "I'm bothering you in the Great New Year." ”

The seven Taoist priests smiled slightly and said, "What's the trouble here, we all rely on the dead to eat, we belong to the same root, why do we need to see the outside like this." ”

After a few casual conversations with them, let them sit on the left side of the mourning hall first, determine the specific matters of opening the way, and then ask them to recite the scriptures, and they agreed.

After arranging the seven Taoist priests, he stammered and walked up to me, pulled me, and said in his ear: "Ninth brother, Liu Kai's gang of eight immortals, why did their attitude change so much all of a sudden, could there be a conspiracy?" ”

Hearing this, I was stunned for a moment, stammering is not unreasonable, the attitude of the eight immortals has changed too quickly, they used to shout and kill, but now they are borrowing Taoist priests and borrowing eight immortals, as if they have changed a person, and there is really a conspiracy.

However, I have another idea in my heart, the Eight Immortals mentioned that the Eight Immortals Conference would be held on the sixth day of the first month, and if there were really Eight Immortals from other towns to participate, the Eight Immortals might be sincere and lend someone to me.

After all, the eight immortals that our town can take, except for Liu Kai, is me, and now Liu Kai is crazy, and the whole town belongs to me.
