Chapter 16: Wine from a Thousand Years Ago

Welcome to Guanshu Network:

In a private room on the outer floor of the building in Hangzhou, a spirited old man was toasting to a middle-aged man in white, and a fat man with large tortoiseshell eyes was sitting next to him

This old man is an expert in ancient characters: He Lao, the man in white is naturally Cha Wenbin, and the fat man is Lao Wang.

"I've heard Lao Wang talk about your magical powers a long time ago, Lao Yu has always wanted to see the real person's demeanor, and when I see it today, it is really a fairy Dao bone, worthy of being a god, I respect a real person" After saying that, He Lao took a sip of the cup of Moutai brought by himself, and looked at Cha Wenbin opposite with a smile, indicating that he had finished drinking

Cha Wenbin made a gesture, and smiled at Lao Wang, "He Lao has won the award, the entrance to the trail is still shallow, I dare not show off in front of my seniors, this cup should be my respect for my predecessors" is also a mouthful of the wine in the cup, and wiped his mouth, shouting: "Good wine!" ”

He Lao smiled and went on, beckoning everyone to eat

Lao Wang took a sip of lettuce, stared at the cup with a smile and said, "Wen Bin, I really took advantage of you today, do you know the origin of this wine?" ”

Cha Wenbin looked at the smiling two, shook his head, and said, "Isn't this wine ordinary?" ”

Lao Wang laughed, put down his chopsticks, and told Cha Wenbin about an archaeological activity that year

It is said that He Lao was stolen from a Western Han Dynasty tomb in Guizhou, He Lao led a team to carry out rescue excavations, which has been scattered, fortunately a lot of jars were found in the ear chamber next to it, the altar mouth was sealed well, and it has been completely covered by the soil, they moved out more than 100 large jars in total, these jars were originally to be sent to the museum for cleaning, in the process of handling, accidentally broke one of them, a smell of wine overflowed, and there were a few people who were not very drunk on the spot

He Lao dipped his fingers in a little taste, and found that this was wine, there was actually wine in this jar, and returned to the museum that night, and carefully opened a seal, and immediately a smell of wine filled the whole room, not to mention a sip, smelling it makes people flutter, this is the wine of 2000 years ago, through technical identification, most of these jars only have less than one-third of the liquid left, which is so pure that it can no longer be pure

Later, these wines were collected by the state, maybe some top people were fortunate to drink, He Lao is also a person who loves wine, and he secretly hid a jar, and when he clicked it, he found one less on it, and he also checked, but he couldn't find out, so he Lao was charged with dereliction of duty, and he was demoted to Zhejiang, which was still poor back then, and became a museum administrator

This wine more than 2,000 years ago, He Lao himself was not willing to take a sip, and he was afraid that the upper authorities would find out, but today Cha Wenbin came, which can be regarded as a free go, and took out this national treasure-level to entertain, which shows his respect for Cha Wenbin

After listening to Cha Wenbin, he also looked at the cup in his hand in surprise, He Lao wanted to pour him another cup, Cha Wenbin couldn't refuse, two cups of wine went down to the stomach, three people who usually had a good amount of alcohol, actually got drunk on the table, and the hotel waiter closed only to find that the guests at this table were drunk, which shows the fierceness of this wine

It wasn't until noon the next day that the three of them woke up from the hotel room one after another, reminiscing about last night's banquet and admiring the strength of the wine

This He Lao is not only an archaeologist, but also a metaphysician, when he arrived at He's hometown, Cha Wenbin found that the placements in his house were designed according to the I Ching Feng Shui, and he couldn't help but have more recognition of He Lao

The topic of the three of them still shifted to that text, He Lao took out the hand-drawn book of the text, pointed to the symbol on it and said, this should be the text of ancient Miao Jiang, and it is recorded where is a strange book, and there is no writing on this text

Cha Wenbin asked He Lao and Lao Wang if they had found more special Taoist relics in other places, He Lao shook his head and said, this kind of thing, laymen can't understand it, even if it is found, it is very likely to be treated as an ordinary cultural relic, first, China's religion is more complicated, second, during the Cultural Revolution, there are too many things destroyed, many ancestors have been passed on to our generation and have been broken, if you want to find this book, I am afraid you still have to rely on fate

Lao Wang suggested going to the museum to check the archives to see if there were any similar texts, and He Lao nodded

In those days, Cha Wenbin lived in He's hometown, this He Lao was also anxious, there was an old wife at home, and his sons and daughters had already started a family outside, so when Cha Wenbin came, the family was also a lot of lively, he followed Cha Wenbin to study Taoist history every night, Lao Wang also got off work on time every day to report to He's hometown, the three of them chatted very happily, He Lao's wife gave them a few fried hometown dishes, and the three of them drank and chatted

Such relaxing days lasted until a week later

This Mrs. He's surname is Wang, Mrs. Wang has 7 brothers and sisters, ranking fifth, and she is also sixty-five years old this year, she is in good health on weekdays, and she can't see anything wrong

This Mrs. Wang's father is already ninety years old, and it stands to reason that it is normal to die, after all, when the age is reached, it is considered a normal death, so He Lao took Mrs. Wang back to his hometown for the funeral, this Cha Wenbin lived in someone's house for a week, and he greeted him with good wine and meat every day, and he was embarrassed, so he thought about going over to see it together, and making a small excess for the old man could be regarded as repaying He Lao

Lao Wang Nianzai was friends with He Lao, so he naturally followed, and the four of them set off on the same day and went to that small town in western Zhejiang

Mrs. Wang's hometown is also in the mountains, a small village with a population of no more than 100 households, and when she arrived at Mr. Wang's house, Mrs. Wang was about to cry and faint, holding the body of Mr. Wang and crying, the old man in this countryside passed away, and the more the children cried, the more filial piety it was, and Mrs. Wang cried heartbreakingly, and naturally the people around her also cried

After this He Lao put on a stick of incense, after burning the paper money, he introduced the two people he brought to his nephew, saying that this is a Taoist chief, come here to see, the nephew is called Wang Xin, Wang Xin heard that it was a Taoist priest, thinking that the family was preparing someone to invite a Taoist priest, this uncle-in-law will find one, naturally he is also polite to Cha Wenbin, and he handed cigarettes and tribute tea, please Cha Wenbin to be a little mage, Cha Wenbin nodded, turned his head and went to the wing, changed his clothes and came out

The people who came to visit looked at it, digging, good guy, such a Taoist priest with a fairy Taoist bone appeared, and naturally his eyes shifted to it, there is a dead man in the village on weekdays, and they all invite Taoist priests, basically some old men, this young Taoist priest, do you really understand?

Cha Wenbin didn't make a sound, asked for the birthday of Master Wang, listed some of the zodiac signs, warned these people not to stay here, for fear of backlash, and asked for common yellow paper, incense and candles, and made a ritual for Lord Wang

The ** of this ritual is naturally the aforementioned crossing of the fairy bridge, which is the top priority, the fairy bridge that Cha Wenbin has crossed, naturally it is a pass, and there is no accident, and I went to see the treasure hole that Mr. Wang dug for himself before his death, and felt that everything was fine, and opened a list for Wang Xin.

What is this list? It is the hour of fasting seven, this person does seven after death, also called fasting seven, that is, after the death of a person (or after the funeral), a spiritual seat is set up from the "first seven" for the wood master, crying and worshipping every day, offering sacrifices in the morning and evening, doing rituals every seven days, setting up fasting and memorial, and removing the spirit on the 49th day of "seven seven".

This tribute to seven must be an even number, because the single is yang, and the double is yin, so we have always invited guests to order, and it is best to order singular numbers.

Cha Wenbin calculated a good day, put the time of fasting for seven days, and the names of the people who needed to do it were pasted on the living room wall of Mr. Wang's house, and after finishing these, after Mr. Wang was buried, the group returned to the provincial capital in Wang Xin's thanks, and made an appointment, and they came back together in the first seven

The seventh day after the death of this person, commonly known as the first seven, is also called the night of the soul, that is to say, if the deceased has something unfinished, he will be escorted back by the ghost to meet his relatives in the yang world; Or bring a group of new friends who have just met in the underworld back to the yang world, and the relatives in the yang world will set up a banquet for the deceased to entertain the friends. But there is one thing that everything with a yellow color must be put away, because yellow is the color of God, and if you see it, the deceased will naturally not dare to return to the door.
