The carved thing on the coffin was indeed a bit like a pixiu and a lion, and I thought about it for a long time, but I didn't speak.

The father was a little anxious, and said, "Look at the carved mouth, if it is slightly open, it is Pixiu, if it is particularly open, it is gluttonous, and if it is moderate, it is a lion." ”

I thought back and said, "The thing's mouth was wide open, and its head was slightly upward, as if it was devouring something. ”

The father said: "That should be gluttonous, it seems that Guo Fatzi's relatives should be frustrated in the business, otherwise they will not use gluttony, if I guess correctly, there should be a small hole behind the carving, and the position of the small hole will be stuffed with the birthday of the living." ”

I asked him why.

My father said: "Gluttony is a fierce beast, insatiable, and delicious by nature, but you can't gather wealth if you eat as much as you want." Therefore, when some carpenters make carved gluttonous coffins, they will leave a small hole in the position of gluttonous assholes, which means that gluttony goes to gather wealth, and then pulls wealth to the birthday of the living, plus the coffin is covered in pure gold, so that the speed of the living to gather wealth is very fast. This method is more extreme, Guo Fatzi's relatives are okay, right? ”

"No problem, he's just making a coffin like this. By the way, did the coffin carving gluttony have any effect on the deceased? I asked.

"It depends on whether the deceased's breath before death is good or evil, if it is a good thought, this method of accumulating wealth will be much slower, and the impact on the deceased is not very great. If it is an evil thought, the accumulation of wealth will be much faster, and the rapid accumulation of wealth will make the deceased bear the sin, so that he will suffer and fall into the eighteen layers of hell, and there will be no possibility of reincarnation. Jiu Yanzi, a relative like Guo Fatzi, you'd better stay away from him, it's too vicious, in order to accumulate wealth, you must not have a deep relationship with him. Father greeted.

"yes, I see."

After hanging up the phone, I froze in place, my father's words were ambiguous, and I suddenly lost my senses. Some people use their hands and feet on the coffins of their ancestors in order to make a fortune, this kind of thing is a blind spot in etiquette, you are not allowed to carve things, a little unreasonable, you say you can carve things, and a little offend the deceased.

Later, coffin carving became the patent of the wealthy. Of course, it doesn't mean that carving things in coffins will definitely make a fortune, this is just a legend, what will happen specifically, or depending on how future generations develop, and can't rely too much on this kind of thing.

After staying for a while, I bought some burial things in the town, returned to the mourning hall, and looked at the height of the mourning hall, I felt very uncomfortable, and I wanted to go to the mourning hall immediately.

When Boss Yu saw me coming, he said with a displeased face: "Young man, who will dare to invite you in the future to hold a funeral like you?" ”

I didn't feel very happy, but, for the sake of money, I still smiled awkwardly at him, explained, and said, "Get ready to be buried!" ”

At this moment, a person walked in at the door of the mourning hall, I raised my eyes and saw that it was Sun Ming, he was wearing very energetic today, a light blue coat, a pair of worn-out sneakers under his feet, and his hair seemed to have been specially tidied up.

I was too busy with the work of the burial, but I didn't expect him to appear at this time. I beckoned to him and said, "Xiao Ming, come here." ”

"Good!" He answered, walked up to me, and said, "Brother Jiu, can you not call me Xiao Ming, I like people to call me stammer." ”

I was stunned and asked him why. He said: "Only when others tell me to stutter can I feel that I am different from ordinary people, so that I can put more energy into doing one thing well than ordinary people." ”

After speaking, he asked me lightly, "Brother Jiu, what do I need to do?" ”

I was so shocked by those words that I couldn't speak, there is a saying, 'Don't slap people in the face, don't scold people's shortcomings', what has Sun Ming experienced, he actually used other people's sarcasm to stimulate his own efforts.

I was stunned for a while, since he said so, I could only respect him, stretched out my finger and pointed to the dead man on the ground, and said, "Stammer, you go and lift the quilt to see the deceased, if you are not afraid, follow me in the future." ”

Although I promised to accept him yesterday, but I still need to test him, to do our business, the first point is to be bold, if you are as timid as a mouse, let alone carry the coffin, you are very afraid when you see the coffin, and mention other things, isn't that nonsense?

After stammering and saying only one good word, he walked up to the deceased, bent down, lifted the golden silk quilt, stared at the deceased with his eyes, for about three minutes, covered the quilt, walked in front of me, and said without changing his face: "Brother Jiu, am I qualified?" ”

I glanced at him, his hands clenched into fists, obviously a little scared in his heart just to be suppressed by him.

However, it is not easy to do this as an ordinary person, so I nodded and said, "Follow me in the future!" With a bite to eat with me, you will never go hungry. ”

After that, I wasn't in the mood to talk about these things anymore, so I was ready to be buried. Because this coffin is larger than the usual coffin, I don't have a carpenter's eye, so I can only use tools to determine the center of the coffin, and I am willing to wait for the coffin to be put into the coffin before moving the body, and strive to put it away at one time. (Note: The deceased must be placed in the middle of the coffin.) ）

I took out a red thread, a square sticker, and four three-inch-long wooden nails, riveted the wooden nails into the coffin gang of the coffin, then used the red thread to pass through the square copper coin, and then tied one end of the red thread to the wooden nails.

Then three wooden nails were riveted into the other three coffins of the coffin, and a circle was made around them with red threads, and the square copper coin must be left behind the wooden nails in the process, and the square copper coin would be used to determine the center of the coffin.

With this done, I pulled the red thread from the head to the tail of the coffin, and let the square copper coin slide along the red thread, and where it slid was the center. From a physical point of view, this method may not find the central location of authenticity.

However, in funerals, this method is generally used to find the central location, and even if there is a better method, it has never been changed.

As for this method of finding a position, I asked Lao Wang before, but he couldn't say why, so he said that the method passed down by the ancestors could not be changed indiscriminately.

When the copper coin stopped, I blackened it with ink and tied the red thread to the wooden nail at the end of the coffin. Afterwards, I sprinkled some grain ash and yellow paper into the coffin.

After getting these things, I deliberately glanced at the position that my father said, and sure enough, there was a small hole in the internal test of the head of the coffin, about the size of a little thumb, and a yellow [colored] thing was stuffed in it, which should be Boss Yu's birthday.
