Chapter 208: Punishment (2) Cheer for "8888".
That night, I deliberately drove two hours to a large cemetery in Zhengguo Town, Zengcheng, and when I got there, it was already past ten o'clock in the evening.
It was a large cemetery with many gates. The spot was closed, but fortunately I knew a person in charge inside, and he called the security guard and let me in, because he had helped a few customers to choose their. I've been to that cemetery a few times, so I'm familiar with the layout inside. I knew which location was more soul-concentrating, so I drove the car directly to that neighborhood.
The cemetery at night is actually only calm on the surface, and many good friends will come out at that time, or wander, or wander, or come out to linger for the last days of staying in the sun, of course, it is not that all the yin houses have a spirit god, but it is just that the newly entered spirit god will linger in his burial place for a while, and when the time comes, the soul body will leave.
The cemetery is large, and there are naturally more new souls, and the intersection I am looking for is in the west, which belongs to the shade. If there is a geist who wants to leave the road, that location is the way to go.
I thought that there would be no one else in the cemetery at that time except for the grave keeper, but to my surprise, there were two other people burning paper in the destination I chose.
A young woman with a little girl about ten years old is standing at the intersection and burning paper. A small red car was parked not far away.
Cemeteries burn paper, and in order to prevent the burning paper money from flying around and causing fires, a large iron bucket is usually provided. Therefore, when burning paper, you can't burn it on your knees.
They stood next to the iron bucket one by one and threw the paper money into the iron bucket one by one, at first I thought I was dazzled, because this is not normal, it stands to reason that the general worship is in front of the tomb, not to mention that this is still a cemetery, there are many wandering spirits, it is not suitable to burn paper at the crossroads at all. And if you come here, you must have deceased relatives buried here.
They looked like a mother and daughter, and the red glow from burning paper money reflected on their sad faces, and the atmosphere was heavy.
I didn't bother them, but found a small clearing not far from them, and laid out the rice, incense, incense, and some meat offerings and fruits. In order to make it even better, I also brought a small spirit flag.
They looked at me quizzically, then whispered something, and I smiled politely at them and began to make soup kitchens.
Seven bowls of inverted rice, twenty-one incense sticks. This is the most suitable configuration for almsgiving, and the effect can be several times greater when placed in the order of a certain formation. Unlike other people who burn paper for worship, I will recite some excessive incantations when I burn paper, which will make it easier for the wandering spirits to enter the entrance of the place where they should go.
When I think of this, everyone must have a big question, every time I send my soul, where does it go? The capital city? Huangquan Road? The path of reincarnation? Or the local Land Temple entrance? Actually, no, I have asked Master this question before, and Master gave me the answer that he just sent them where they should go. Later, I met Liu Dagger, the spirit god who had walked through the underworld, and I knew exactly where the spirit gods I usually sent had gone. These things will be mentioned in the next book about Liu Dagger.
I carry a lot of paper money, and it burns slowly. The quality of the incense is also relatively good. And generally speaking, whether it is incense or incense to worship Buddha. It's better to wait until the incense is burned before leaving. It's like if you invite someone to dinner, and they leave before they finish eating, which is obviously impolite, although there are no serious consequences, but it is the least respect.
Speaking of incense, I'm going to talk a little bit here. Many of the incense on the market are inferior products, and the kind of incense sold outside many temples is best not to buy, because these incense are made of some inferior wood and some essences, although it looks no different, but the meaning is very different, the smoke burned by these inferior incense is black, which is actually no different from burning garbage.
Whether it is to worship the Buddha or to sacrifice, it is very bad to use this kind of incense. Good tribute incense should have sandalwood or agarwood in it. Whether it is a straight incense stick or a circle of incense towers, the materials used to make incense are very important. If it is a very inferior incense to worship the Buddha, it is tantamount to burning garbage in front of the Buddha or in front of the grave. The only effect of this incense is to smoke the eyes, so that the Buddha or the object of worship will not see you. This kind of incense not only does not achieve the desired worship effect, but also affects the sincerity of the worship. Imagine what would happen to you if someone burned the garbage in front of you?
Therefore, in the sacrificial tribute, especially the tribute incense, you can't be greedy for cheap and trouble-free, if you can use a good tribute incense, don't use inferior incense, and a good tribute incense is not much more expensive, everyone can afford it. This kind of incense can be bought on a certain treasure.
Speaking of which, I did it for about an hour, and the mother and daughter left once, and when I was almost done, they turned back to the same place, carrying a black plastic bag with a bag of paper money in it.
The mother and daughter's behavior made me very puzzled, and after I finished the almsgiving, I finally couldn't help the curiosity in my heart, and walked towards them, I don't understand why their mother and daughter have this behavior, which seems unusual to me, this is a cemetery after all, and it is okay to worship during the day, why choose this time, it is already midnight, the mother and daughter appear here, and there is no guarantee of safety, especially the little girl, her expression is a little trance, and her spirit is very bad. And when they burned the paper, they didn't say anything, they just burned the paper silently, who did they burn it to? Are you here to give food like me?
As I walked over, they looked at me suspiciously. I didn't say anything, I smiled awkwardly and said, "May I ask who you are worshipping here?" ”
The little girl looked at me and was about to answer, but then looked at her mother, then lowered her head and continued to burn the paper money.
Her mother looks like she is in her thirties, she is still young, she is well maintained, she looks average, and she has the temperament of a noblewoman.
She looked at me, then forced a smile and said, "Hehe, we're burning paper for my husband." Why, little brother, I saw that you were also worshipping just now, who are you worshipping? ”
When I heard this, I couldn't help but feel a little sad in my heart, this mother and daughter actually lost the pillars of the family, which is tantamount to a catastrophe. It's a pity in my heart. At the same time, I also found that this woman should be more talkative, otherwise she would not have taken the initiative to ask me what I was doing.
"Oh, I'm just in... Well, like you, I'm worshipping too. I said hehehe.
She sighed, and then continued: "You have also been instructed by others, have you come to worship your relatives at this time?" ”
"Huh? No, I'm just here to eliminate karma, and there are no relatives of mine here, so did you come here under the guidance of others, eldest sister? I asked, surprised. This shouldn't be, if it's to worship her husband, why is she here, why don't you go to her husband's grave to worship? Also, such a little girl brings this kind of place to burn paper at night, and she is not afraid of being possessed by some vicious spirit?
She squeezed out another smile and said: "Yes, I was instructed by a master to bring my daughter here to burn paper money for an hour every night for three days, today is the first day, it may be that we burned too fast, one bag is not enough, just now I went to pick up and take a bag." By the way, my surname is Li. ”
I nodded, oh and said, "Hello Sister Li, my surname is Liu." Are you saying that the master said that the money was burned to your husband? Then why burn in this place, and not in front of his grave? How long has it been since your husband died? How long has it been buried? ”
Sister Li's expression froze, she couldn't squeeze out a smile anymore, and said with a sad face: "It's only been six days since I died, and today is the fourth day for me to be buried here." ”
I was shocked, why did I start worshipping at the intersection before the first seven had passed???
(ps. for 8888 to add more, this time to assist the list of masters: five diamonds of "New Summer", three diamonds of "Amber Insects", and ten flowers of "Taste 2015".) Thank you"
