Chapter 21 The Red Burial Sea
After it was done, the person who carried the coffin was found, and everything was ready, and Tianning shouted there: "Fang Da is good for mourning, and the door is good for trouble." A hundred years of death, never less death. The coffin went out. ”
Then the coffin was carried out of the door, and in an open space under the shade of a tree outside the door, the logs supporting the coffin were laid to prevent the coffin from continuing to breathe. In fact, when it turns from wood to coffin, it becomes eerie and terrifying, symbolizing death. The coffin is mysterious, there used to be a custom of making a longevity coffin, the old man will buy a coffin before he dies, and he wants to see his longevity, and he is also blind when he is looking at death. If it is a wealthy person, the younger generation will personally pick up high-quality wood, invite skilled craftsmen to make longevity, and place it at home to add blessings and longevity to the elderly, so as to show filial piety.
This coffin has to pay attention to every step, the carpenter's first axe is very important in the past, indicating the fate of the owner of the coffin, the sawdust of the first axe, if it flies far, it indicates that the owner of the coffin will live a long life, if it flies very close, it indicates that the fate of the owner of the coffin has come to an end.
After the coffin becomes a burial person, it becomes extremely important, the countryside pays attention to the coffin of the dead, and must not be grounded, some people say that it will become a zombie when it is grounded, causing a terrible corpse change, in fact, it is not the case, after the coffin is grounded, the soul in the coffin will be directly drilled into the ground and trapped, where the soul will stay, and can not live smoothly in the house, so there used to be such a rule, where the coffin landed, where it was buried. However, in that era when there was no cremation, it happened from time to time that the broken reins of the coffin touched the ground, and the broken reins were cut by a knife, and they were all broken together.
We Chinese have always practiced thick burials, rich people, coffins weigh more than a thousand pounds, so carrying the coffin is a strength work, if you encounter a dead body with resentment, is pressed and vomits blood, that is a frequent thing, so the people who carry the coffin, generally knowing, they prepare wooden sticks and saucers in advance, if they are tired, put the dishes on the ground and fill them with water, and then put the sticks on the plates, and finally hold up the coffin, it is said that if you do this, the people in the coffin, even if the grievances are great, it is useless, His resentment will disappear when it meets the water,
Zhao Sihai found the people who carried the coffin, they were all elderly people in the village, fortunately there was no body in our coffin, only a long shirt, the coffin was much lighter, they wanted to use a wooden stick to prop up the coffin, I didn't let the support, directly put it on the paved log, after putting it away, I asked Zhao Sihai to buy a lantern and yellow paper, and then made a bowl of white rice.
This lantern must be there, a small wooden bench in front of the coffin, an oil lamp on it, and an incense burner in front of the lamp. The ever-bright lantern is also a member of the lamp family, but it is rarely used. Unlike kerosene lamps, ever-bright lamps emit clear oil (vegetable oil). Its use is an old tradition, the old man is old, from the moment he lights the inverted fire paper, he lights a lamp in front of his willow bed, and this lamp is the everlasting lamp. The lamp emitted a dim and muddy red light---- which fluttered on the deceased lying on the willow bed, reflecting a mysterious blue light! Subsequently, there was a strong fragrance of vegetable oil, which made the whole mourning shed permeate with a special atmosphere.
During the period, don't let the lights go out, you have to keep adding oil, this needs to be done by the descendants of the deceased, this is also said, we have said before, we are afraid that those ghosts and ghosts will come to harm the family. It was not until the third day of the funeral that the next of kin of the deceased broke the lamp, the lights went out, and a native left the village completely. This has two meanings, one is that the oil runs out and the lamp is dry, and the other is that if it is broken, it can no longer be rounded, so that the deceased can give up the idea of coming back and live in the underworld with peace of mind.
Put a bowl of upside down rice next to the lamp. Put a clay pot in front of the lamp, this clay pot is generally kneeling there by the grandchildren of the deceased and keep burning paper, Hai Lihong has no relatives and children, the junior brother and sister do the work, help burn some paper there, this is a kind of reward for Hai Lihong to save us. Since this is an unfortunate thing, Zhao Sihai was afraid that he would stay at home, so I asked Zhao Sihai to find five-colored grain, and then I scattered beans to get rid of it.
"The front guard, the back guard, the gossip is fixed. There is the Jade Emperor Zhong Kui standing, and there is a black god...... "I first recited the talisman spell loudly, in fact, the red ghost in the sea will not stay in the Zhao family, I read this completely for Zhao Sihai, and those who watched the excitement, first bluffed them, let them know, I am not fooling them, I will really get rid of them."
After I finished reading, I stamped my feet vigorously, and then with the five-colored grain in my hand, I read aloud: "The sky is round and the place is round, and the law is nine chapters; Big consumption and small consumption, too cloudy and sun; Gou Chen hangs the god, the door god guards, and the king of the land stove; Search carefully, do not hide; The prince is here, and he is not allowed to mourn; Yuan Shi Tianzun, extinguish and slash; I take a step, how dare God be; I take two steps, the sea drifts in the ocean; I take three steps, and I will perish; I take four steps, and God avoids ghosts; I walked five steps, ambushed the corpse and ghosts, and fled far away. I am as anxious as the law. ”
While reading while scattering the five-color grain in his hand, the corners of the home are scattered all over, after getting it, we will go to the sea red to find a yin house, here is a good place, backed by the mountain, the mountain peaks are wonderful, facing the sea, extremely wide, we finally found a good feng shui land on a ground, this land is backed by the mountain peaks, left and right to protect each other, dozens of zhang away, is a big cemetery, I asked Zhao Sihai, Zhao Sihai said that this is an ownerless wilderness, don't discuss with anyone, but for unnecessary trouble, I still give Zhao Sihai two oceans, let Zhao Sihai put them first, if someone comes to the door, I will use those two oceans to buy land, of course, in order to prevent some people from seeing wealth, I secretly gave it to Zhao Sihai.
Although I don't have a compass, I can't find the specific direction, but there is an eye into the ground, according to the size of the feng shui, after determining the direction, I took out the prepared willow nails, I took the hammer, according to the direction of the sun, found the direction, nailed and pulled the red rope, I picked up the shovel, and said in my mouth: "The four major states are pressed by the four directions, and the earth and the earth mother gather in the center." There is a Laojun furnace above, and a bin shovel is created. It doesn't hurt to open the mountains and open the soil to open the yin and yang, and it doesn't hurt to crack the yellow spring. Liuding Liujia stands here, and the strong gods avoid the distance. Chop the grass and point the dragon to open the real hole, and the dragon and the crouching tiger are long. Today, the ground is broken, and the golden shovel is auspicious. Here, unusually, there is a lotus flower fragrance on the hole......"
After I finished digging the soil, I told them to dig a pit that could be buried in the coffin, this one does not need to repair the tomb, just dig a big pit, just bury the coffin, they dig a pit here, we go back, let people carry the coffin, bury it early. Back in the village, we didn't know those people, so we had to ask Zhao Sihai to help, carrying the coffin, we held the luggage in the back, ready to bury Zhao Sihai, we started on the road, to Fusong Zhong Dabiao's hometown, and then from there to Changbai Mountain to find ginseng.
When I arrived at the cemetery, I put the things I brought with the underworld to install the hole, this hole is nothing more than some copper coin clay pots and the like, but the main thing to install the hole is the formula, this formula is to know the real burial few people know, the four library treasure is the most strange. Seven copper coins step Beidou, and the seven-star Beidou is divided into east and west. The four golden toads are put in the four corners, and the dragon turtle is blessed with longevity. The five-color spiritual soil is sprinkled in five directions, and the financial official Fu Shouwang is inscribed. There is no disadvantage in burying the point, and it is really gratifying to avoid the evil and welcome the auspicious. If it is a funeral of a pair of chopsticks, the yin and yang are not separated. The red cloth is placed in the middle of the bridge, which is called the near-shift of the lintel. Xunwei crystal Wenchang Tower, prosperous wealth and prosperous official performance, Jin Dingyu burial by the earth, descendants of Fushou than Tianqi. Granary on the left and tank on the right. The golden jade clothes are not separated, the left front shines a street lamp, and the unicorn guards the door.
In order to prevent tomb robbery, we did not put valuable things in it, and buried the coffin in the red sea, we asked Zhao Sihai to take good care of it, and burn some paper money during the New Year's holidays, Zhao Sihai agreed, we were relieved, packed up and took the luggage, with a spear wrapped in cloth, and embarked on the road to Fusong County, what the trip to the Northeast will look like, we have no way of knowing.
