Chapter 46: The Second Tiger Returns His Father
Zhao Erhu continued: "In fact, my father's line of doing the top god is famous there, and the people around him went to my father to see a doctor, so my father boasted nonsense, making people spend more incense and money, so my family built two courtyards before and after, and became a rich family in the village." But three years ago, my mother had to fall ill and left, and after another year, my eldest brother also died, and then my mother gave me a dream, I dreamed that my mother was in tattered clothes, and was covered with scars, and after seeing me, she hugged her head and cried, saying that my father deceived people by God, and she and my eldest brother paid off my father's debts in the underworld, so that my father quickly stopped, and if this continues, it will be a big disaster. I was so shocked that I cried in my dream, and when I woke up, I found myself having a nightmare.
At first, I didn't take it seriously, as the saying goes, I think about it every day and dream at night, but then I had such dreams several times in a row, and I knew that this was my mother's dream for me, so I persuaded my father not to continue. So I talked to my dad. Unexpectedly, my father jumped like thunder, saying that this family was earned by him as a god, how could there be such a big family business without a god, let me not believe in that dream, and said that the great immortal said that when the practice is enough, he will take him to the sky to be a god, and I will break my dog's leg if I don't let the god in the future.
Since my father is in charge of the house, he has everything to say, so I don't dare to talk about it in front of my father in the future. Two months ago, my father was drunk, and when he went out, he tripped over the threshold, and as a result, his head hit the stone platform outside the door, and he died at once. After the knock to death, we asked Mr. Yin and Yang to look at feng shui, set the day and time of the burial, and write clearly when my father returned to the seedlings and where he came from.
We buried my father according to Mr. Feng Shui's words, and Mr. Feng Shui wrote on the paper that it was a nine-day return to the seedlings, pressed by the chicken foot god, coming from the west, entering the house at the right time, and leaving after three quarters. Let's hide the chickens and dogs at home, and don't call them to shine. ”
This return to the seedlings is also called the seedling sha, out of the evil, back to the sun, that is, a certain day between the ninth day and the eighteenth day after the death of the person, the soul of the deceased will return to the house at a certain time under the escort of the chicken foot god to make the last memorial and farewell. Once upon a time, with the family laughing in the morning and dusk, taking care of each other, enjoying each other, all kinds of past events, as if as yesterday, as if in front of the present. And today, at this time, things have changed, things are wrong, the past has been dusted, and life has been buried; The old appearance is still familiar, the voice is not graceful, and then looking back, the soul has become a guest, suddenly like a dream, and has been separated from the world! The scenery does not move, the shadow does not move, the cold pool is shadowed, if it is dead, it is real. Waving his hand, Yin and Yang are separated, this life will never be seen, and the love will be extinguished! After the soul is gone, after drinking Meng Po soup that is the water of forgetfulness, he will completely forget everything in the world, and the old relatives are like strangers, just waiting for the next reincarnation.
Zhao Erhu continued: "On that day, according to Mr. Yin and Yang's words, we hid the chickens and dogs early, and then sprinkled green ash at the door and in the yard, and the family did not speak, sleeping with their heads covered, and on the second day, we found that there were a string of human footprints on the ground, and a string of chicken footprints. It seems that my father has come back to see, after reading it, according to the old man, he should go to the underworld, so it has nothing to do with Yangshi, he asked me to continue to worship the immortal in his house before his death, but I was angry when I looked at the mud fetus in my heart.
So I ran to my father's house to see if the clay fetus was God, and went to my father's house. Before my father's death, he enshrined a Taoist with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks, and that Taoist had a pair of small eyes and a few beards, which made people feel that he was not a righteous god at a glance. Tell me that it is the omnipotent immortal from heaven to earth, and let us worship it from generation to generation.
I looked at the mud fetus that day, I felt that the eyes of the Taoist seemed to be staring at me, I thought about my mother's suffering in the ground, and my father's obsessive appearance, the more I thought about it, the more angry I became, so I lifted the hoe, smashed the mud fetus, and said while smashing: Cheng Xian, Cheng Xian, I will smash you, see how you become an immortal.
My daughter-in-law persuaded me, but I didn't listen, and I kept smashing the mud fetus to pieces, and then I was relieved of my anger, thinking that I would not worship in my life, and see what I could do. But I didn't expect something terrible to happen in the middle of the night. In the middle of the night, my daughter-in-law woke me up and said in a panic: "The second and second tigers seem to be back from our father." ”
I said, "How is it possible, it's been ten days since my father died, and he's all gone, how can he come back?" ”
My daughter-in-law said, "Erhu, you can just listen to it." ”
At this time, someone suddenly scolded outside: "Erhu, you little bastard, I have only been dead for a few days, and you can't make your home look like this?" Let me, the dead, not be able to live in peace in the grave. You little bastard, you don't have a clean day at home? ”
When I heard this, I felt a pang in my heart, the person talking outside was none other than my father, how did I come back? My frightened hairs stood on end, and my daughter-in-law was so frightened that she didn't dare to continue listening under the covers. At this time, there was the sound of sweeping the floor in the yard, and the big broom sneered on the ground. My dad had a problem before he died, that is, he liked to sweep the floor, and he cleaned the yard cleanly, and he didn't leave a straw stick.
So my daughter-in-law and I ran to the window in fear to look, and on the big moon, I clearly saw that my father was wearing the longevity clothes he wore when he died, and he was sweeping the floor there, and the dust was flying. When I saw that it was really my father, I was a little happy at the time, my father was still yang.
So I was about to open the door and want to go out to talk to my father, when my daughter-in-law grabbed me and said, "Don't, don't go out, look at our father's eyes, those eyes are not human eyes." ”
When I heard my daughter-in-law say this, I quickly looked into my father's eyes, and saw that his eyes were shining with a faint green light, and those eyes were like beasts, and they were like the eyes of a ghost. The daughter-in-law whispered: "Our father must have been unwilling when he died, and you smashed the statue of the gods he worshipped again, and now you have become a ghost and come back to you." ”
My daughter-in-law and I hurriedly plugged in the doors and windows, and then ran to the bed, covered with the quilt and did not dare to make a sound, so tossed until the middle of the night, when the rooster crowed, my father left, I asked someone to calculate, saying that it was because my wish was not fulfilled, and after death, I became a ghost, so I must not go out, and after 7749 days, I will not come back. ”
So we had to move to the backyard to live, as far as the front yard let my father make a fuss every night, first in the middle of the night, and then as soon as he arrived, the people in our area, were scared, and at night, they closed their doors one after another, no one dared to come out, we asked for a charm, and it was useless, and we came every night. I really had no way to be tossed by my father, so I came to invite Zhang Daoye. ”
I said, "The human soul is tangible and insubstantial, that is to say, it is not substantial, although it can make shapes and make sounds, but it cannot change the actual things, I heard you say that your father's ghost sweeps the yard for you every day, is there any trace of sweeping in the yard?" ”
Zhao Erhu hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, there are things that are swept every day." ”
I said, "That proves that your father has indeed swept the floor, isn't your father dead?" ”
Zhao Erhu shook his head and said: "This is impossible, at that time, my father let it go for three days before sending the funeral, if he didn't die, he would have moved in three days." ”
I said, "Since your father is dead, the man who came to your house must be something else." ”
Zhao Erhu hurriedly said: "Little Daoist, what do you say it will be?" ”
I said, "I can't say for sure, I'll have to see it, but if it doesn't work, we'll go and see it." ”
Zhao Erhu said: "Okay, it's great to be able to go and see." ”
In this way, Zhao Erhu found a carriage and took us to Zhaojiazhuang, Zhaojiazhuang is a village in the mountains, and behind it is the mountains and mountains.
