Chapter 22: The Soul of the Transcendent Sings the Funeral Lyrics
The carriage walked on the road, and the guins on both sides of the road were fluttering in the wind, and these shops sold meat, wine, restaurants, and grandmothers, and those who were hungry for the smell at that time, and they remembered this. The carriage creaked forward, and stopped at the door of a house, a very large courtyard, with a white flower tied with a white cloth at the door, and the walls on both sides said that it was a big deal, and it was not well advised, these two sentences are to say that the dead are great, and now it is a big thing, please forgive us for not informing you in time, the matter is not well thought out, and the meaning of more care.
In and out of the house, some wear filial piety clothes, some only wear filial piety hats, those who wear filial piety clothes are close to the family, and those who wear filial piety hats are far away, we get off at the door, we can't go directly into the house, just knock on the magic weapon at the door, we can't go directly into the house, we have to be filial piety to welcome out, and offer the deceased's eight characters, so that we can go in, so it is so excessive. After a while, a person came out crying, and as soon as this person came out, we were taken aback, only to see that the face of this life was terrible, big eyes, big mouth, big nose, a pair of attractive ears, black face, and a beard, really like a fierce Zhang Fei, he wore linen and filial piety, and the hemp rope in his waist was dragged to the ground, and he held a willow tree in his hand, and when he came to us, he lifted the willow tree to the top of his head, slowly bowed down and bowed, and then offered the age of the deceased.
Master took the piece of paper and looked at it, so he asked us to knock on the Dharma weapon and walk directly towards the deceased's spiritual shed, which is a large courtyard, and there is a spiritual shed in the courtyard, and in the spiritual shed is a coffin, and there are some people kneeling or sitting in front of the coffin, but there is not much crying, Zhang Rentu must be lying in the coffin, the dark coffin is a bit gloomy, but we are doing this, so we are not very afraid.
When we arrived at the spiritual shed, the master asked us to beat the Dharma weapon, and the master sang with the wooden fish there, and he sang in a very depressed tone: "Impermanence sighs and is sick, sleeping in bed and the moon is deep, taking medicine is ineffective, praying to God is always not working, but the three souls go, who knows the star, occasionally a pillow of Nanke dreams, children howl and can't wake up."
Impermanence sighed and was sorrowful, the judge checked the book, the underworld sent a ghost, the pursuit did not stop, the property was abandoned, everything was rested, and he returned to the underworld, but he would be accompanied by the mound.
Impermanence sighed so sadly, in vain he was busy day and night, his eyes were bloody and tearful, his children were in pain and his liver and intestines, he couldn't take the gold and silver, he saw the king of Hades empty-handed, he created a thousand kinds of sins in his life, and he couldn't escape being alone after he died.
Impermanence sighs as anxious as the wind, Wanguan's family wealth is always empty, the cow's head and the horse's face, hooked into the yin, rich and poor, old and young, gone forever, Rao Jun has exhausted all kinds of tricks, and the limit is not tolerated.
The five sighs of impermanence are as anxious as a shuttle, and the blood is monstrous. Swords, guns, swords, halberds, arrows, trees, copper snakes, coiled food, iron dogs dragged back and forth, thousands of sufferings without rest, how to miss the ...... in front of the mirror stage"
This is the song of impermanence sung by our faction of Huodwelling, the master knocked on the wooden fish while singing and dancing, after we finished singing this scene, the son of the main family Zhang Rentu invited us to eat, and when we arrived at the dinner table, the meal was ready, and Zhang Rentu's son accompanied us to eat. While eating, my master asked Zhang Rentu's son, "Why did your father die?" I remember that he was quite strong, and the other day he was slashed, or your father's knife. ”
Zhang Rentu's son sighed and said: "Dao Ye is dissatisfied with you, my father's death is very strange, my father was fine yesterday morning, I happened to go out, when I came back, I found that my father was not at home, in fact, these days my father said that he killed too many people, damaged Yin morality, often borrowed wine to kill sorrows, I thought where to go and drank again, so I didn't take it to heart, this morning someone said that my father was lying in the execution ground, I went to take a look, and found that my father had no breath, so I had to buy a coffin to bury my father's body, Daoye, you also know that my father was on a red business trip and killed a lot of people, some of them were deserving of death, and some of them were not deserving of death, and I suspect that my father was strangled to death by a ghost. ”
We were all stunned when we heard this, and the executioner was not afraid of those ghosts, because the executioner had a bad aura on his body, and ordinary ghosts did not dare to approach, and the master said, "Strangled to death by ghosts?" What evidence do you have? ”
Zhang Rentu's son said: "Yes, when my father died, I asked the county to check it, and he said that the scar on my father's neck was not caused by manpower, and there were no external injuries in other parts of his body. I asked him how he died, and he only said one sentence about the place where his father died, there were too many unjust ghosts, and he left after speaking, and his father didn't stand up, and the body of a living person was almost the same, in this case, there was only one possibility, that is, he was strangled to death by a ghost. ”
After Zhang Rentu's son finished speaking, his face was full of sadness, and my master said, "In this way, after we have eaten, go over and see what the situation is." ”
After we finished eating, Zhang Rentu's son led us to the funeral shed, the coffin in the funeral shed was opened, and the coffin could not be covered before the funeral. Three lanes are tied in the horizontal direction, and two lanes are tied in the vertical direction. The horizontal direction of the plank is long, the longitudinal direction of the plank is short, and the three long and two short are derived from this. Later, coffin nails were used, and when it was time to go out of the funeral, the coffin lid had to be nailed. Seven nails are used for the town nails, commonly known as the children and grandchildren nails, which are said to make the children and grandchildren prosperous. When the nails were nailed, the relatives shouted to the deceased to hide the nails, and then sprinkled five-colored grain on the lid of the coffin, and the funeral was completed.
The coffin lid in the mourning shed was put aside, and we looked into the coffin, only to see a person lying in the coffin, wearing a shroud, with a yellow paper covering his face, and he couldn't see the scar on Zhang Rentu's neck. ”
As he spoke, he was about to open the yellow paper, when the master said, "Wait, the dead can't touch the living popularity, and the corpse of the burial can't be touched indiscriminately." ”
Zhang Rentu's son said, "Master Dao, why can't you touch it indiscriminately? ”
Master said: "Although the deceased is dead, but at this time, there is still the last breath left in the chest, and it does not come out, especially the person who has been strangled to death, this breath is even more powerful. ”
Zhang Rentu's son said, "What should I do then? Wouldn't you lose sight of the scar on your neck? ”
Master said, "This is not difficult, you can bring my cinnabar pen and yellow paper." ”
As soon as I heard this, I quickly took the cinnabar pen and yellow paper, and the master lifted the pen, recited a mantra in his mouth, wrote a coffin talisman, and then said to me, "Be bold and stick this talisman on the coffin, this talisman is specially used to calm the coffin, and you can be safeguarded with this talisman." ”
When I heard Master say this, I quickly took the coffin charm and pasted it on the head of the coffin, and Master walked to the coffin and read a few sentences on the four corners of a red paper, on which it was written that the deceased was in the center; There is such a thing in front of the spirit, how can you see the dead taste it. There are two lamps in front of the dead, one dim and one bright; One shines on the road to heaven, and the other shines through the gates of hell. The sun and the moon are like two boats, supporting and setting in the east and setting in the west......
After the master finished reading, let us not get too close, and then stretched out his hand, clamped the yellow paper with two fingers, and then gently pulled it away, and when the master opened the yellow paper on the cover, we couldn't help but take a breath of cool air, only to see that the coffin was an extremely ugly and ugly face, the executioner Zhang Rentu I have seen, and the face in the coffin is the same, but Zhang Rentu's current appearance is more ugly than when he was alive. The whole face is like a pig's liver, it is the color of purple and red and black, and the eyes are closed, and we look towards the neck, and the whole neck has become black, no wonder it is said that the neck is not a man-made scar, even if I am a layman's child, I can see that it is not human.
At this moment, there was a sudden gust of wind, this wind came very strangely, it seemed to be the wind from the flat ground, the whirlwind blowing brought up the leaves on the ground, fluttering everywhere, suddenly there was a piece of chicken feathers blown by the wind, swirling and falling into the coffin, impartial, just fell in the nasal groove under Zhang Rentu's nose, I seemed to see the feather trembling gently, at this time the master stared at the feather, his face was surprised at first, and then it became more and more ugly, I don't know why the master was like that.
