Chapter 10 Breaking the coffin and worshipping God

Hearing what my senior brother said, I didn't dare to ask any more, so I had to stand at the door. The senior brother was probably afraid that I would be sleepy, so he stuffed me with a pack of cigarettes when he entered the door, while he carried a big rooster, three catties of yellow paper, a pair of red wax, and a few colorful paper clothes.

Speaking of this paper clothes, there is a story worth mentioning, when the three of us were having dinner before, the senior brother suddenly made a request to Wei Dezhen, saying that Wei Dezhen was asked to find black, red, green, blue, purple, orange, yellow seven colors of colored paper, and asked Wei Dezhen to cut these colored paper into the appearance of clothes, of which the black colored paper was cut into the appearance of adult clothes, and the remaining six colors were cut into children's clothes.

To say that Wei Dezhen's hands are also very dexterous, in less than a moment I found some colored paper, according to the senior brother's opinion, cut the colored paper into the appearance of clothes, and the senior brother wrote some words on the back of those paper clothes, I wanted to see what he wrote, but the senior brother didn't show me.

However, I heard my brother ask Wei Dezhen a few questions, probably asking Wei Dezhen about the man's birth date and the death time of several children who died in her womb.

Therefore, I guess that the eight characters of those people's birthdays should be written on the back of those paper clothes.

Soon, the senior brother carried those things into the hall, and what I couldn't understand was that the senior brother had just entered the hall, and he did not go straight forward, but stopped in front of the coffin for a while, muttered a few words softly, and then picked up the paper clothes and thought for a while, and then raised the paper clothes in front of the coffin, and finally put the paper clothes away.

After doing all this, the senior brother sighed deeply, shook his head, and continued to walk forward.

I didn't really understand what my brother meant at that time, but I realized later that my brother did this for a reason, and when the coffin was finished, those lonely souls and wild ghosts in the vicinity would definitely have to be worried. After all, the reason why lonely souls and wild ghosts are called lonely souls and wild ghosts is, to put it bluntly, that is, there is no place to live, and generally newly made coffins belong to ownerless things before they do something.

This kind of ownerless thing is fragrant in the eyes of the lonely soul and wild ghosts, and the senior brother stopped in front of the coffin, seemingly doing nothing, but in fact he was there to persuade the lonely souls and wild ghosts to leave, and he took the paper clothes to make a promise to those lonely souls and wild ghosts, which means that when the coffins are ready, burn some clothes for them, so that they will not suffer from hunger and cold.

Of course, this practice is derived from the traditional Chinese virtues, first salute and then soldier, the senior brother was lucky that time, just a little benefit to send away the lonely soul and wild ghost in the coffin, if the lonely soul and wild ghost in the coffin are unwilling to leave, want to occupy the magpie's nest, can only ask the ancestor Lu Ban to appear.

As we all know, Lu Ban is the ancestor of the carpenter's lineage, but anyone who can be called the ancestor of the ancestor of the ancestor can occupy a little immortal energy through special craftsmanship, and can suppress the lonely souls and wild ghosts.

However, God has the virtue of a good life, such as the soul scattering, whether it is Taoism or Buddhism, they are extremely reluctant to do this, because this thing is too heavy, it damages yin morality, and it is easy to break their own reincarnation. Therefore, we ghost craftsmen are not willing to do this, unless it is a last resort.

After stopping in front of the coffin for a while, the senior brother put the things in his hand on his feet, and he began to close his eyes to recuperate, which is also very strange to say, the chicken boy was originally jumping on the ground very happily, and at the moment when the senior brother closed his eyes, the chicken boy seemed to be intimidated by something, and immediately calmed down, prostrate at the feet of the senior brother, and did not move at all.

The senior brother closed his eyes for about thirty seconds, suddenly, he opened his eyes suddenly, and the spirit of the whole person seemed to have become another person at this moment, looking like the Taishang Laojun descended to earth, he first glanced at me with deep meaning, and then bowed three times to the altar of the hall house, and finally turned around and knelt down towards the door of the hall house.

I was at the door at the time, so frightened that I quickly shrank to the edge of the gate, and secretly looked at the senior brother, and found that the senior brother was kneeling on the ground, extremely pious, lying on the ground with both hands and backs of his hands, palms facing up, and his mouth was vibrating, reading: "Disciple Wang Qingshan knocked on the grace of the ancestor master, the second knocked on the grace of the ancestor and the blessing of the grandfather, and the third knock on the ancestor and gave me immortal magic to shock all evils." ”

After reading this, the senior brother slowly got up and bowed three more times to the east before straightening up.

It stands to reason that he should worship the ancestor first, but China has always paid attention to worshipping God at the beginning, so the senior brother bowed to the altar in the hall first, but when worshipping the ancestor and master, he used kneeling and bowing, and the etiquette was severe, and he knew it at first sight.

When the senior brother got up, he held the kitchen knife in his right hand, and the chicken in his left hand made three strokes towards the altar, the door of the hall and the front of the coffin, and then stood in front of the coffin, and wiped the neck of the chicken with a knife.

After the chicken blood came out, the senior brother first dripped three points of chicken blood in the coffin, and then walked around the hall with the chicken father, scattering the chicken blood in every corner of the hall as he walked, and finally after walking out of the hall, the chicken blood was sprinkled on the steps in front of the hall.

I wanted to follow, but I was stopped by a look from my brother, so I had to continue to stand at the door, watching my brother walk into the hall.

But see, after the senior brother entered the hall, he took the chicken in his hand and circled around the coffin a few times, suddenly, his mouth began to read the words, the words he read out were profound and difficult to understand, and they were extremely irregular four-character phrases, at the same time, the senior brother's expression was very solemn, and the whole stood on the edge of the coffin, like an old monk in a trance.

After reading for nearly ten minutes, the senior brother stopped, and I don't know if I was dazzled, or what was going on, just the moment I stopped, I vaguely felt that the coffin seemed to have changed, but I couldn't say why, if I really wanted to say anything, I can only say that there seemed to be an invisible wall of qi around the coffin, giving people a mysterious and mysterious feeling.

However, the senior brother did not stop, but threw the in his hand into the coffin suddenly, and heard three clucking cocks, and the suddenly lost his breath.

The senior brother seemed to be quite satisfied, and took the out of the coffin, and then burned some yellow paper in front of the coffin, at the altar, and outside the hall, and lit a pair of red candles under the coffin.

Seeing this, I exhaled, although I didn't understand it at that time, but I felt that the senior brother was very powerful, so I was ready to enter the hall, after all, everything that should be done has been done, there should be nothing wrong, where do you know, the senior brother took a deep breath in the hall, and said, "Within an hour, this pair of red wax has not been extinguished, which means that this time the Dharma is okay." ”

I subconsciously replied, "What if it's extinguished?" ”
