All Chapters_Chapter 10 Funeral
When the people in the village heard that the master was going to go out of the funeral early, the doors and windows of every house were closed, for fear of causing evil.
At nightfall, the village was eerily quiet.
I followed the blind man to the shore of the famous flowers.
The river is not wide, only seven or eight meters, and the bridge is a bluestone bridge.
I took four red candles and placed them at the four corners of the bridge, and then drew firewood and lit them.
The candle flame shone in the night, like four strange ghost fires trembling in the night.
This is the real guiding light.
The blind man advised, "It's a red candle, don't take it wrong." ”
Red and white are reversed.
I said, "That's right, it's a red candle." ”
I then took a small copper tripod and put it in the center of the bridge, burned a pillar of incense, and then respectfully inserted the incense into the small copper tripod.
I muttered a spell that the blind man had taught me.
I forgot what I had read when I finished reading it.
I was worried that I would not be able to pronounce it correctly, so I asked the blind man, "Am I reading it correctly?" ”
The blind man's blue face showed a rare smile and said, "Do you remember what you read just now?" ”
I shook my head, I really don't remember.
The blind man said, "I forgot everything." ”
I tried to recall that I still remember clearly when the blind man first taught me, and I read it just now, and I still vaguely remember that it would be completely forgotten.
Hell, I can't even remember a word or a sound.
I exclaimed, "How so. ”
The blind man said, "Say it again." ”
I said that I had forgotten all about it, and the blind man said that I would read it.
It's strange to say that he blurted out a spell to the incense burner.
When I recite the mantra, my mind is calm, I forget about things, and my mind is clear.
Before I knew it, the mantra was finished again.
When the spell fell, I couldn't believe it, "I, I just read it again?" ”
The blind man nodded and said, "You are indeed psychic." ”
"Psychic?"
The blind man said: "Every line of work requires talent, singing requires a voice, athletes need physique, and we have better be able to be psychic in this industry, and we will talk to you in detail when we have the opportunity to work." ”
You want to say I don't want to hear it.
If it weren't for the unclean things I've been provoking lately, I'd bother to ask, as if I wanted to know.
The blind man originally asked me to prepare a roast pig, but I had that money, so I replaced it with a chicken, and the rooster was not good, saying that the rooster had too much yang energy on it and had to be an old hen.
The old hen is a baby for laying eggs, and it is not cheap.
In the end, I sneaked out my old hen so that my mother didn't know what to teach me.
Put the shiny old hen on a plate and place it in front of the small copper tripod.
After all this I ran back to the blind man.
The blind man said, "All right, let's start shouting." ”
I asked, "How do you shout?" ”
The blind man said, "Haven't you heard someone shout for souls?" Those who drowned in the river and could not find their bodies, or who died in a foreign land, cried out for their souls. ”
As soon as the blind man said this, I seemed to have heard someone shout, so I learned to shout: "Come back, master, come back......
The blind man said: "You have to call your name, who knows who the master is calling?" ”
My master's surname is Chen Mingjian.
I shouted, "Come back, Chen Jian......"
"Come back......"
"Chen Jian......"
The shouting echoed in the dark night, and although I knew that it was I shouting, the echoing sound still made me feel panicked.
"Come back......"
"Chen Jian......"
The wind was blowing in gusts, and the candlelight on the bridge kept swaying.
The blind man said, "Sprinkle some ingots and paper money." ”
I grabbed a handful of paper money from the plastic bag, threw it high into the sky, and shouted as I threw the paper money: "Chen Jian come back, Chen Jian come back......
These are just paper money for us, but in the eyes of the master, they are real money spent in vain.
"Come back......"
"Chen Jian......"
It takes a quarter of an hour to shout the soul, and it is useless to pass this time, but I have been shouting for ten or twenty minutes without seeing any trace of the master.
The blind man said, "I'm afraid your master won't come back, or he won't come back." ”
Thinking of the fact that my master was going to become a lonely ghost and suffer from the sun and rain, my heart was very uncomfortable: "How can this be, why doesn't my master come back?" ”
The blind man said, "He may not be able to come back." ”
At this time, there was a sound of suona blowing in the village, accompanied by bursts of crying with the sound of suona.
It's going to be a funeral.
Rural people are superstitious, thinking that going out for the funeral in advance will invite bad luck, and many relatives and friends dare not come.
There are fewer funeral mourners.
The team set off from the master's house and walked towards the back mountain.
The blind man said, "Let us also hurry over." ”
At the front of the procession was the funeral team, throwing paper money into the sky as they walked, shouting: "The newlyweds are out of the funeral, and the living are avoided." ”
Then it was Qianqian holding the master's posthumous photo.
Then came the coffin.
Yiye was also in the ranks, and he was wearing an earthy yellow Taoist robe, with a conspicuous gossip pattern on the back.
I followed the line with the blind man.
The hunchback said to the blind man: "I didn't put money in my mouth, my children and grandchildren didn't tie the red rope, and the coffin didn't add fir wood." ”
I've seen all these things that the hunchback said in the book that the blind man gave me.
If you don't put it down, you will be dumb in the next life, but if you don't take it out, your wealth will be taken away.
And the descendant nail is the nail in the middle of the seven town nails, and a red line must be bolted, and it is pulled with filial piety, and the carpenter will knock it lightly to finish the matter, which means 'stay behind'.
The coffin must be made of cedar wood, and the coffin made entirely of cypress wood will lead to thunder, and you may see lightning strikes the cemetery during a thunderstorm.
The blind man's face changed greatly when he heard this: "What kind of heart is this Yiye on?" ”
As the words fell, a fierce night wind blew.
Paper money was scraped all over the sky.
A black cloud obscured the moonlight, and the night darkened suddenly.
The atmosphere is eerie and eerie.
Someone shuddered and said, "Is it going to rain?" ”
Yiye shouted: "Everyone, hurry up, let's hurry up the mountain." ”
The eerie atmosphere made the mourners can't help but speed up their pace.
I hurried to keep up with everyone, but before I could take a few steps, I felt someone tugging at my clothes behind my back.
I looked back and there was no one behind me.
What you see is a path that leads to the school grove.
In an instant, the hairs all over my body exploded.
Mom.
I hurriedly ran forward, and a strange female voice sounded in my ears: "Don't go up the mountain......"
"Don't ......"
There are many taboos when entering the mountains late at night.
Be careful what you say, you may inadvertently say something that will provoke bad luck.
Be careful in the walkway, especially when passing by someone's grave, and remember to say sorry if you step on or touch something.
From time to time, there was a strange sound of cooing in the mountains.
The mountain road was originally difficult to walk, and the dark clouds covered the bright moon, making the funeral even more difficult and weird.
The four people carrying the coffin were tired and panting.
But after the coffin leaves the ground, it can't be put down again, unless it is delivered to the destination, so they can only grit their teeth and hold on.
A shadow sprang out.
Everyone was taken aback, and the coffin almost fell to the ground.
Yiye said loudly: "It's a lynx, everyone surround the coffin, don't let it get close." ”
The shadow fell on the branch of a large tree opposite, black, and it was really a bobcat in form, with a pair of green eyes shining fiercely.
Meow!
Suddenly there was a roar, a powerful flick of the limbs, the branches shook, the black shadow flashed, and rushed towards the yin coffin.
All of a sudden, it was a mess.
The lynx pounced on the door of one of the coffin-bearers, who screamed and danced his hands, his sharp claws scratching his arms.
The lynx took the opportunity to jump into the coffin.
A person from the funeral team hurriedly picked up the branch to catch the bobcat, but before the branch in his hand hit the bobcat, the bobcat's body suddenly shook, as if it had been pointed, and slipped off the back of the coffin.
Fell to the ground motionless.
The scene suddenly fell silent again, and everyone's eyes widened, and their eyes were full of horror.
He's dead?
It's not that so many people are scared by a wild lynx, there is a reason why everyone is so scared.
Cats are yin spirit animals, and if you jump on the yin coffin, the yang energy on the cat's body may be transmitted to the dead body inside through the yin coffin.
The dead corpse has regained yang energy, which will inevitably cause the corpse to change.
That's why seeing a cat in a cemetery is a bad omen.
"It's not really going to die."
The bobcat fell to the ground on all fours, motionless.
If the lynx dies like this, it means that the bobcat's yang energy has really passed over to the dead body in the yin coffin.
