Chapter 295: The Sorrow of the Soul Chicken
This soul-attracting chicken is our local custom, that is, to get a big rooster, and then call the soul, let the soul of the deceased lie on the body of the big rooster, you can guide his soul to the cemetery in the future, that is, the Yin house, this soul-attracting chicken to the cemetery, will stand there without moving, until the burial of the deceased, it will be there three screams, so that the deceased has been buried in the ground, the soul of the deceased has also followed the soul-attracting chicken to the Huangquan Road, and then the soul-attracting chicken can be released.
At that time, although poor, but this rule can not be less, so in the mass grave, you can often see a rooster standing on the grave, bursts of sorrow, very miserable, the soul chicken is also called the ghost chicken, is the Yin people's things, so in the cemetery is no one to catch, let it fend for itself, but most of the soul chickens are lost in the mouth of wild things, basically no soul chicken can live past five or seven (one month after death).
I finished reciting the soul mantra, put the big cock on the ground, and saw a yin wind blowing at this time, I knew that it was the soul of the two fools, I could see it when I opened the eyes of the sky, but I couldn't bear to open the eyes of the sky, because it would be very sad, the two fools are also my younger brothers, now the yin and yang are separated, I will cry when I think about it, if I see it, I will definitely not be able to control myself. At this time, the big rooster on the ground, as if he could see the soul of the second fool, jumped up in fright, clucked, and flapped his wings, trying to escape.
The yin wind went straight to the rooster, and then I saw the rooster, suddenly pressed by the weight, and the body turned in a circle on the ground, as if drunk, dizzy and running around, running for a while, slowly stopped, at this time, the soul chicken, became weird, eyes did not blink, standing there straight, not moving.
I knew that the second fool was already riding on the rooster, so I said to Baoguo: "Baoguo, our brother is already on the soul-attracting chicken, you go over and hold the soul-attracting chicken and send our brother on the road." ”
Baoguo listened, wiped his tears and nodded, and walked towards the soul-attracting chicken, at this time, the soul-attracting chicken was not afraid of Baoguo at all, but a little close, Baoguo walked over, held the soul-attracting chicken in his arms and said: "Brother, let's go home, let's go home." ”
After saying that, he cried while holding the big rooster, and the people behind him cried together, sadness will always be infected, in that case, the stone man will also cry, I feel uncomfortable, and then wipe my tears, at this time some of the elderly on the village, organized to fish for the corpse, and the corpse was done by the elderly, everyone went into the water to fish up the corpse, and the people on the shore had already prepared a straw mat, and shoveled off the four corners of the straw mat, which means that the world is impermanent, the moon is full and lacking, and people have clutch, and everyone puts people on the mat with all hands and feet, At this time, the second fool did not have the swelling of other drowned people, it was almost the same as usual, and there was a smile at the corner of his mouth, Baoguo's parents were crying there, their relatives were also crying there, Baoguo's mother was crying and wanted to come forward to take a look, but was stopped by the old man in the village.
I stood there and felt a blank in my mind, it was the death of Baoguo before, but the soul of Baoguo was chased back by us, and now the two fools are like this, Baoguo can be chased back, but the two fools are no longer able to return to the sky, the old man on the village is busy there in an orderly manner, a few older people who don't let crying come forward, and they will get the mat bun right, tie it with hemp rope, and tie it into a mat bun, the two fools belong to the young death, according to the rules of the countryside at that time, the young death can not build a mourning hall at home, and must be buried on the same day, So the old men were deliberating about where to bury the two fools.
After finishing it, Shun Ye came over on crutches, trembling all over, two cloudy tears flowed from the corners of his eyes, and shouted, "It's not early, there is no inn on Huangquan Road, let's go." ”
After finishing speaking, leading the way in front, those people lifted the body of the two fools, separated the crowd and walked out, we have local rules, the child's mother is not allowed to go with him, I am afraid that the child's mother knows the place, and goes up to cry every day, so the mother of the two fools wants to follow, but was directly stopped by others. In this way, we followed, Baoguo held the soul-attracting chicken, found a secluded place, buried the two fools there, raised the grave, Baoguo put the soul-attracting chicken on the grave, the chicken screamed three times, and then it was motionless.
At this time, Shun Ye shouted: "Return, don't go back to the yang people, don't look back to the yin people." ”
When we heard Shun Ye say this, we turned around and bowed our heads and went home, we were in a heavy mood all the way, Tianning and I returned to the Three Treasures Temple, and Baoguo returned to our own home. We stayed in the meditation for three days, and on this day we were practicing, and a man came, dressed in black, with his arms open, and inside was a white shirt similar to the black clothes, and on his head was a top hat. When I saw it, it was none other than Mao Qinglian's little follower Dandan, and when I saw Dandan, I was a little happy in my heart, knowing that Dandan's must have come with news.
So I walked over and asked Dandan, "Dandan, why are you here?" ”
At this time, Dandan took off his top hat and fanned the wind, wiped the sweat on his face with the sleeves of his bright gown, and said, "Brother Yang, I came to tell you, the third master is not light, he wants to see you." ”
When I heard this, I was anxious, and I dragged Dandan and said, "Dandan, how is my Senior Brother Zheng?" ”
Dandan said: "Since the three masters came back from the yin, there is an invisible cold in the body, didn't the two masters lead the three masters to find a famous doctor last time?" After finding the famous doctor, he recuperated there, but he never got better, and in the end the famous doctor had no choice, saying that the three masters had hurt their vitality and needed a very precious medicine primer to cure the three masters' diseases, otherwise there would be no hope. ”
I said, "Let's go, let's go now." ”
Dandan said, "Brother Yang, where are you going?" ”
I said, "Go to Qingfeng Village." ”
Dandan said, "Brother Yang, I haven't eaten yet." ”
I said, "Don't be in a hurry to eat, go to Qingfeng Village to eat well, now it's important to get down to business." ”
After speaking, I said to Tianning, and then dragged Dan Dan out, Dan Dan said while walking: "Brother Yang, you are not righteous, I came to deliver news to you in such a hurry, I didn't even eat, I didn't expect to come to you, you were even more ruthless, and you drove me out directly." ”
I said, "Dandan, I'm not chasing you, I'm really anxious, okay, okay, let's go to the market, can I buy you roast chicken to eat?" ”
Dan Dan wiped his big nose and said, "Okay, it's better to be brother, I want to eat that kind of little rooster, the little rooster is charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and it is very delicious." ”
I was in the mood to think about what kind of chicken was delicious, so I said perfunctorily: "Okay, okay, any chicken." ”
After saying that, I pulled the eggs and left, there was a carriage at the door, after getting into the carriage, I went straight to Qingfeng Village, on the way to Dan Dan bought a roast chicken, Dan Dan gnawed there, but I was not in the mood to see the roast chicken, all the way to the sentry post of Qingfeng Village, the people standing guard saw that it was Dandan, and immediately let go, we arrived at Qingfeng Village, got off the carriage and let Dan Dan take me to see my senior brother Zheng Tianbao, to Zheng Tianbao, I happened to see the big village master and the second village master, I went up to say hello to them, and went directly to Zheng Tianbao's house, When I went to the house and saw Zheng Tianbao, it was like a different person, his eye sockets were deep, his face was pale, his lips were bloodless, his body was a little shaky, covered with a thick quilt, and then he looked at Zheng Tianbao's body, wearing a thick cotton coat, if I didn't see that I was not cold in thin clothes, I really thought it was winter.
Seeing Zheng Tianbao like this, my heart couldn't help but feel uncomfortable, and when I arrived at Zheng Tianbao, I shouted: "Senior brother, what's wrong with you?" ”
Zheng Tianbao was stunned when he saw me, and then said, "Senior brother, why are you here?" I've been missing you all these days. ”
I said, "It was Dan Dan who sent me a letter saying that you were sick, and I came to see you." ”
Zheng Tianbao said: "You say that I am so sick, is it worth it?" It's okay, I'm just a little cold, I'll be fine in a few days. ”
I said, "Senior brother, I have caused you to suffer from this injury, and I don't know what medicine can treat it?" I heard Dan Dan say that this disease needs a precious medicine primer, doesn't it? ”
Zheng Tianbao said: "Senior brother, I said that there is nothing wrong, what medicine is not the introduction of medicine, there is no such thing." ”
What else do I have to say, at this time Dandan came to call me, and Dandan said to me: "Brother Yang, the eldest lady and the second miss are looking for you and have something to tell you." ”
As soon as I heard that something was looking for me, I said goodbye to Zheng Tianbao, and then asked Dandan to lead me to find Mao Qinglian and Luo Xihan, and when I arrived in a hall, I saw two rich young masters standing there, and I saw that both of them were wearing dresses and top hats.
