Hearing my question, Na Lang Gao nodded, and said, "According to your previous instructions, I have prepared all the incense, invitations, paper packets, white cloths, and stoves needed for the Moon Cave. ”

I hummed and told him, "It's enough to leave one person for me in the Huiyue Cave, you go to the door of the mourning hall to set off firecrackers, and then let some middle-aged men go to the Millennium Song." ”

"Millennium pine?" He was stunned for a moment and asked me, "What are you doing over there?" ”

"Mengke's tomb is chosen there, you ask those middle-aged men to help fix the tomb, and at seven o'clock in the evening, let's carry the coffin and set off from here." I explained to him that I was afraid that he would ask again, so I asked him to hurry up, and I entered the mourning hall and began to prepare for the moon cave.

The so-called moon cave, is a relatively rare ritual on the funeral, it is a step of scattering the spirit, but also a single whole, some funerals, if the deceased again and again for the living, many Taoist priests will choose to use the moon cave way to mourn, one can appease the dead, so that the deceased eliminate grievances, the other can make the living more than a layer of shield, a bit similar to the Shaolin kung fu iron cloth shirt, so that the grievances are difficult to get close to the living. Of course, these are folk legends, and as for whether the living can be given an extra layer of so-called shields, it is impossible to tell with the naked eye, whether it is true or false, and it is also an ambiguous question.

What the Moon Cave needs to prepare is just like what Lang Gao said, seventeen pillars of incense, an invitation, a five-pound paper bag, a seven-foot white cloth, and a stove, this invitation is no different from the invitation used in reality, mainly to write the honorific names of some heavenly gods, and invite them to the mourning hall, just like Wang Lingguan and Marshal Ma. The paper bag is to wrap some yellow paper with white paper, and then write the deceased's birthday on the white paper, the relationship with the person who burned the bag, and then write the time when the bag was burned.

After I entered the mourning hall, I first checked the things that Lang Gao had prepared, they were all there, and then I broke up the previous scattered spirit dojo, and then stacked those wooden benches, this stack of wooden benches is exquisite, not like ordinary stacked stools, one by one, but in a way that falls three times and does not fall.

These three falls and one does not fall is that the second stool is placed on the first stool, three of the stool legs are placed on the stool surface of the first stool, and the other stool leg needs to be overhead and cannot be placed on the stool surface, to explain in the old saying, this is to bless the deceased, bless the deceased in the next life, and be safe and secure in the three stages of life, one is when he is born, the second is when he gets married, and the third is when he dies.

When I folded these wooden benches into seven stories high, it was already 2:20 in the afternoon, during this period, Lang Gao arranged for more than a dozen middle-aged men to go to the Millennium Pine, and the entire mourning hall was left with me, Lang Gao, and the little mosquito who followed Lang Gao before, as for Su Xiaolin and some villagers of the Ten Thousand Towers, they were all driven out by me, after all, the Moon Cave is a ritual, the fewer people alive, the better.

"Chen Jiu, everything is ready, can we officially start?" Seeing that everything was ready, Na Lang Gao walked up to me and said, "By the way, the time has exceeded two o'clock, will it be disrespectful to the deceased?" ”

I stopped and said, "From the moment you enter the mourning hall, even if you enter the funeral, it is not disrespectful to the deceased. ”

After saying this, I looked at the seven-story wooden bench in front of me, crooked, as long as there was a breeze, it could be blown down, not to mention the series of ceremonies waiting for it, frankly, it was the first time I held such a difficult ceremony, and I didn't have any bottom in my heart.

"Whew!" I exhaled heavily and gave Lang Gao a look, meaning, to let him prepare the firecrackers. I asked the little mosquito to tie a seven-foot white cloth around his waist, and stood on the right side of the seven-layer wooden bench with the stove in both hands, and I took the fragrance, invitations, and paper bags and stood on the left side of the seven-layer wooden bench, and then put these things at my feet.

After doing all this, I gave Lang Gao another look and motioned for him to set off firecrackers.

Soon, Na Lang Gao lit a firecracker, and there was a crackling sound, and I don't know why, this time there was a lot of smoke from the firecrackers, and it all drifted into the mourning hall, and the entire mourning hall was filled with smoke.

Seeing this situation, I frowned, and secretly said in my heart, no, if the moon cave is not done well this time, something will happen.

At the moment, I didn't dare to be careless, and without waiting for the sound of firecrackers to stop, I shouted in the direction of the coffin, "There is a living law, there are dead people rules, the moon is on the hole, and the grievances in the previous life are clear." ”

After shouting this, I stomped heavily on the ground with my right foot, and gave Lang Gao another look, signaling him to continue setting off firecrackers.

In less than three seconds, the sound of firecrackers sounded again, this time the smoke from the firecrackers burned, half of it drifted into the mourning hall, and the other half drifted towards the outside of the mourning hall.

At the same time, there was an extremely strong rancid smell coming from the coffin, which scared me so much that I didn't care about continuing to shout, so I hurriedly ran in the direction of the coffin, and looked down to see that Wang Chuyao's whole face showed a particularly strange color, and the color had an indescribable feeling, saying that it was black, it was a little blue, and it was blue, and it was a little red.

As soon as I saw this situation, I reached out and touched Wang Chuyao's face, the feeling in my hand was unusually cold, and the breath at my nose was getting weaker and weaker, what was going on, how could it be like this, could it be that Mengke didn't want to use the ritual of the Moon Cave and insisted that Wang Chuyao accompany him to the funeral?

This thought flashed through my mind, and I probed the position of Wang Chuyao's chest again, and my heartbeat was extremely weak, beating once every two seconds.

I was a little anxious, and immediately withdrew my hand, and prepared to burn some yellow paper for the deceased.

Suddenly, I saw a crack in the clothes on Wang Chuyao's right chest, and I could vaguely see a large patch of white flowery skin. In an instant, the white flower's skin was gradually swallowed by black, slowly, slowly, the black became more and more, and in less than a minute, the original white flower's skin had become black.

Seeing this, I was stunned, this TM is too mysterious, how is it a bit like the plot of a novel, I don't care about whether men and women give or not kiss, so I tore a hole in her right breast, and I saw an incredible scene.

I saw that her entire right chest was wrapped in black, and Dingqing saw that the black was a bit like a swallow, and the tail showed a kind of swallowtail butterfly, the swallow's head was close to the pink dot on her right/chest, and the swallow's mouth was slightly open, as if to devour the pink dot.

Seeing this, I thought I was hallucinating, and rubbed my eyes vigorously, yes, there was indeed a black swallow on Wang Chuyao's right chest.
