As the saying goes, people have to bow their heads under the eaves, and if they want to understand the meaning of those words, they can only ask Mr. Fan for advice, and in desperation, I wrapped twelve yuan for him, and said angrily: "You don't do business all the time, it's really a waste of talent." ”

He smiled and said, "What's so good about doing business, it's good to do what we do. ”

As he spoke, he took the red envelope, put it in his pocket with satisfaction, and said, "When I first entered the village, the old man had already told you that you need to follow the steps to print seven, seven seals, are you in too much of a hurry?" ”

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"Huh!" He sneered and said sharply: "Have you measured the auspicious position? Have you tried auspicious things? This seal seven is a great mourning, have you invited the ancestors and ancestors of the Horse Walking Village? ”

As soon as I heard this, I was stunned, I was the first time to print seven, many etiquette did not know at all, according to the funeral scriptures on the words and began to print seven, where do you know that you also need to measure the auspicious position, try auspicious things, as for the ancestors of the village of the horse, I remember that the old king said, said that the ancestors and the ancestors should be a certain way, otherwise, please come, can not be sent away, the village will have a big event.

I know my ability very well, if I want to say that I want to do a funeral or something, I am still relatively good, but I can't do it at all, even if I invite it, I don't have the ability to ask it to leave.

"I... I..."I said: "The Liuding Liujia Funeral Sutra does not mention measuring auspicious positions and trying auspicious things, but only records a passage. The law of the view branch, faintly rumbling, subtle mystery, seven in it, faintly, there are seven in the seven, rumbling, seven in the clouds, the field to the Beidou, angry in the meantime, paper in the Beidou, the head and the tail, with the hand of the difference, the trial of its abolition, seven days of truth is not lost, take it, that is, know its stop. ”

When Mr. Fan heard my words, he sneered and said: "Xiao Jiu, Xiao Jiu, the six Ding Liujia in your mouth first appeared in Shang, and then it was the Three Kingdoms period, say later, from the Three Kingdoms period to the present, there has been a gap of more than 1,000 years, and the funerals of each dynasty and each generation have their own differences. ”

"What's wrong with holding a funeral according to the etiquette handed down by our ancestors?" I was a little depressed, the Liuding Liujia funeral scriptures are the foundation of my funeral, and it can even be said that without the Liuding Liujia funeral scriptures, I am at most an ordinary eight immortals, selling my strength to carry the coffin, and don't want to get involved in the funeral at all.

"The old man is still the same sentence, it is a rite, not an immutable rite, you must keep pace with the times, take this seal seven as an example, the original seal seven is indeed as Liuding Liujia said. However, there were a lot of strange things later, and the contemporary ancestors added something on the basis of that etiquette, and added it from generation to generation. ”

Speaking of this, he stared at me and said, "Xiao Jiu, tell the old man, what is the etiquette handed down by the ancestors?" The predecessors of a thousand years ago can be called the ancestors, and the predecessors of five hundred years ago, can they be called the ancestors? ”

I nodded and said, "Naturally." ”

"Since we are both ancestors, do you think the etiquette of a thousand years ago was more perfect, or was the etiquette of five hundred years ago more perfect?" He asked.

I thought about it for a moment and said, "Five hundred years ago!" ”

"Why?" He asked again.

"Accumulation from generation to generation!" I sighed.

"Since you know that the etiquette accumulated from generation to generation is relatively perfect, why do you keep holding on to Liuding Liujia. As the saying goes, the past is the present, and the present is the ancient, have you ever thought that a hundred years later, a thousand years later, or even thousands of years later, in the eyes of those descendants, we are also our ancestors. If we keep those rituals to the death today, when will the funeral be perfected? When will it be truly achieved, the dead can walk with peace of mind, and the living can do it with peace of mind, and there is no need to worry about the so-called 'haunting'. ”

After saying this, he was a little emotional, grabbed me by the shoulder, and said, "Today, the old man will tell you what a coffin bearer is and what a funeral is. The original intention of lifting a line is to send people into the earth for peace, to resolve the deceased's nostalgia for the yang world, and the funeral is to comfort the soul of the deceased, one is to atone for the sins of the deceased in life, in order to have a good background in the next life, and the other is to appease the emotions of the deceased. ”

Listening to his words, I was speechless, I didn't know what to say at all, I used to do funerals, carry coffins, and only know the peace of mind of letting the deceased go, and I didn't think about making some changes in the funeral, I all relied on Liuding Liujia.

And what Mr. Fan means is to let me keep pace with the times, to put it bluntly, it is to let me innovate and add some things to the original funeral etiquette to make the funeral more perfect. This, this is different from the belief that I have always adhered to.

When I think of innovation, I immediately think of Wang Muyang, what he promotes is cremation, which is something I resist in my heart.

Thinking of this, my face sank and I said, "What do you mean that I should welcome this era and cremate the body?" ”

"No, no, no," he stopped, said three nos in a row, and slowly spoke: "The old man is quite disgusted with the cremation, but he just warns you that this era is changing, and the previous set of funeral etiquette must change with it, as for how to change, it depends on how you do it, which can not offend the deceased, nor can the living feel tired." ”

After saying this, he sighed deeply a few times, and said helplessly: "Xiao Jiu, you are shouldering your master's high expectations for you, don't let his old man down." ”

I nodded cautiously, and was about to speak, when the old Wang on the side spoke, he looked a little anxious, and said: "I'll drop two old men, this funeral is about to become a mess, you are still in the mood to talk about the future, the most important thing in front of you is to do a good job of this Yin Qi, otherwise it will be a sin!" ”

As soon as these words came out, I think Lao Wang is quite right, people are living in the moment, why do you talk so far, besides, I am only 19 years old this year, how can I think so much about Mr. Fan, so I said to Mr. Fan: "Mr. Fan, since you know everything about Yin Qi, why didn't you bring it up when you were preparing to Yin Qi before?" ”

He looked at me strangely and said, "The old man is just a paper maker, and he was invited by you to make up all kinds of thirteen people. ”

Made, if it weren't for the fact that he was old, I really wanted to beat him, that feeling was particularly strong, and I said angrily: "Didn't you educate Xiao Jiu just now and let Xiao Jiu do something for the funeral?" How about yourself? ”

He glared at me and said, "That's educating you, not on behalf of the old man, the old man just wants to keep the paper shop and spend the rest of his life in peace, if it weren't for your master's face, the old man wouldn't bother to tell you what he said just now." ”

With that, he put his hands behind his back and walked towards the hall.

Seeing this situation, I was a little anxious, now he understands the whole process of Yin Qi, if he doesn't care about this funeral, it really can't continue, I grabbed him, and said, "Please always look at the deceased's sake, and give me some advice." ”

He stopped, shook his head, and said, "What should be said, the old man has already said it, and what should not be said, the old man doesn't say a word." The rest depends on how you do it, and I remind you again that the old man is a paper maker and does not do funerals. ”
