In the hour from nine o'clock to ten o'clock, a lot of things happened, first because of Granny Qiao's departure, there was no one on the Lu family's side to hold the funeral, and the Lu family's son quarreled with Lu Yaodong for a long time. Later, an unknown master of metaphysics was introduced to continue Joyce's work.

I know that master of metaphysics, a member of the Metaphysics Association, but that person is a person who has learned the Tao, and he knows nothing about funerals.

Time is always inadvertently flowing away at the fingertips, and soon it was ten o'clock, and a large number of firecrackers and fireworks were set off, and the first gong was finally sounded.

After the gong sounded, there was another strange thing, Luo Blind, who was doing the funeral for the second son of the Lu family, actually fell to the ground in response, and the strangest thing was that after falling to the ground, he foamed at the mouth and his limbs twitched, as if he had committed a crime.

This made the metaphysical masters present puzzled, Na Luo Blind is the best among the metaphysical masters, not to mention that his zodiac did not commit the four phases of taboo, even if he did, with his Taoism, this situation would definitely not occur.

However, such a person fainted.

Subsequently, Luo was taken away, saying that he was sent to the hospital for treatment.

After the blind man left, everyone was cast a shadow on their heads, saying that this funeral was not easy to handle, everyone was in danger, and many metaphysical masters began to retreat.

Fortunately, the ninth son of the Lu family promised to multiply the funeral expenses several times, coupled with the guarantee of Commander Yan, which calmed the hearts of those metaphysical masters and allowed the funeral to go smoothly.

After dealing with these things, the time was close to twelve o'clock at noon, and according to local customs, twelve o'clock was the meal, and it was not appropriate to continue the funeral, so the funeral was dragged down again.

In the next period of time, a group of people hurriedly picked up a few mouthfuls of food, and they all sat together to talk about the funeral of the old hero, and even Na Wanyang rarely showed a heavy look, made a phone call to Wang Muyang, and reported everything that happened at the funeral.

I don't know what Wang Muyang said on the phone, I know that after Wan Yang called Wang Muyang, his face was a lot more relaxed, presumably Wang Muyang gave him an idea.

When the hour hand pointed to 2 o'clock, the funeral finally began, and the metaphysical masters returned to their own coffins and began to busily mourn.

Of course, I am no exception to return to the seventh coffin and start the funeral, because of the venue, I plan to break the trouble, and then lead Lu Yaodong and his family to turn around the coffin 108 times, and then do some rituals, which can be regarded as the completion of the funeral.

Who knows, that Lu Yaodong said that he did not have enough respect for the old hero, and he wanted to use a funeral custom in the fifties to 'shine on the dead'.

In the fifties, Henan, Hebei, and Shanxi arose to 'shine and die', and then I don't know what happened, this custom was replaced, but there are also many people who follow this custom. After all, everyone believes differently.

It is said that this custom can be traced back to the Western Han Dynasty, when people believed that after death, people went to the underworld, and the darkness was boundless, and a bright light was needed to guide the way, so that the deceased could find the way to the underworld.

Later, various versions emerged in endlessly, some people said, there is no need to guide the way, just hold a piece of yellow [color] paper, go to the designated place, paste the yellow paper there, if the yellow paper can be pasted on the wall, the dead are there, you need to burn the yellow paper, burn incense, and recite the Sutra of the Past Life in that place.

Later, some people combined these two editions and built the 'Terra Temple of the Dead' between the villages.

This 'temple of the dead' is equivalent to the upper household registration in the yang world, for the deceased to have a household registration in the underworld, and before his body is buried, the spirit of the dead hovers on the wall of the 'temple of the dead'.

Because of the long period of time, and the fact that 'according to the death' is not a common funeral etiquette, many people do not know how to operate it until someone who is interested finds such a description in Cao Xueqin's "Dream of Red Mansions".

'This day is the fifth day of the fifth day, the Buddha monk is opening the square to break the prison, passing the lamp to shine on the death, participating in the Yan Jun, detaining the ghosts, feasting on the king of the earth, opening the golden bridge, leading the banner, the Taoist priests are lying on the Zhangshen table, the three Qing, knocking on the Jade Emperor, the Zen monks are incense, the flame mouth, worship the water confession, and there are thirteen nuns, wearing embroidered clothes, red shoes, chanting the mantras in front of the spirit, very lively. ’

It was this description that made 'Shine Dead' popular. However, there was a dispute over who would host the event. The Taoist priest said that this was a ritual done by the Taoist priest, while the Buddhist monks said that it was a ritual done by the monks.

The two sides fought for a long time, until the founding of New China, due to some special reasons, the vitality of the two Taoist and Buddhist families was greatly damaged, and this 'according to the death' was chosen by the funeral people, they simplified the ceremony a lot, and it was more popular with the people. It is still prosperous in Henan, Hebei and Shanxi, and even in a few places in Hunan, there is also the custom of 'lighting the dead'.

It is the dispute between the two sides of Taoism and Buddhism on the 'death of the Buddha' that causes the people who do funerals in some places to call themselves monks, and some places to call themselves Taoist priests, in fact, people know that the people who do funerals are neither real Taoist priests nor authentic monks, but just tacitly agreed.

It's a bit far, let's get down to business.

As soon as I heard Lu Yaodong say 'according to the death', I was stunned for a while, and then asked him: "If the ceremony of 'according to the death' is used, what will happen to the coffin?" Let it be cold here? ”

His face was overjoyed, and he said, "I'll go with you to do the 'Zhao Death', my daughter-in-law and children kneel in front of the coffin, do you think it's feasible?" ”

I thought about it for a while, this place is very crowded, and if I had done the funeral according to my previous plan, there would definitely be some places with poor etiquette, and some strange things would inevitably happen.

Immediately, I agreed, and asked him, "Are you prepared for the tools of 'death'?" ”

"It's been prepared for a long time!" He said.

Hearing this, I had some doubts in my heart, since this Lu Yaodong had already prepared the equipment for 'Zhao Dai', why didn't he say hello to me in advance, but only said it now?

I asked the doubts in my mind.

He said: "A few days ago, you have been in Taihang Mountain, I told Lao Luo, he said that the ceremony of death, he will not. Just last night, I mentioned 'Zhao Death' to Jiang Ye again, and he told me, you are quite virtuous in the funeral area, so let me ask if you understand, but I didn't expect me to ask casually, you really understand. ”

I nodded and said, "I don't know much about the ritual of 'Death', but you can try it." ”

Subsequently, I did some simple rituals in front of the coffin, burned some yellow paper, and then asked Luo Dajun to lead Lu Yaodong's family to guard in front of the coffin, and beckoned Luo Dajun not to cold the coffin.

After arranging these things, Lu Yaodong returned to the seventh coffin with some tools of 'Zhao Dai', and I began to prepare for the ceremony of 'Zhao Dai'.
