Chapter Eighty-Eight, Funeral Rites

After some discussion, the elders finally decided that this year's "ancestor worship ceremony" would end ahead of schedule and start to consider the issue of corpse disposal first. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Each village has its own way of remembering the deceased, although the village seems to be a little out of modern times, but there are clear requirements for funerals.

For the deceased, there are three types, namely young, middle, and old.

The young deceased is the younger one, generally under the age of eighteen are called the young deceased, because they have not yet gone through the coming-of-age ceremony, so relatively speaking, there is no funeral, most of them are accidental deaths, illnesses or accidents, so the body stays for a maximum of one day, that is, the day of death will be buried.

According to what is recorded in Yin and Yang, the young corpse is a spirit baby, because the life time is not long, so it is most likely to produce resentment and evil spirit, if it stays too long, it will have a great impact on the survivors, so even if the young corpse is the most sad, but at the same time it is the most taboo, and it must be dealt with as quickly as possible.

Middle-aged deceased, aged from adult to 60 years old, this kind of death is also mostly due to illness or accidental death, but after such a long time, unless suffering from an incurable disease, otherwise the general minor illness can not be good, so the vast majority of accidental deaths.

Accidental death is divided into internal death and external death, internal death is the death of a person who lives in the village at home, and external death is the death of someone who leaves the village because of some accident, for this kind of can not enter the house half a step, can only stay outside.

According to yin and yang, middle-aged people live for a while, but they don't go because of the end of their lives, and they will also be resentful, but the resentment will not be too deep, and even if it exists, it is a wandering soul, and there are those who are concerned about the reincarnation for a long time.

The middle-aged deceased stayed at home for a day or two, and waited for relatives from all over the world to see it before being buried, in order to remember him, of course, the scene was also very bleak.

The two young men in Xiangyue Village also belong to this category, but the funeral ceremony in Xiangyue Village is held outside the Baizong Nunnery, which can only be done with a unique family ceremony, and their relatives are from the village, so as long as they prepare how to bury them.

The elderly deceased, for the old and the dead people, relatively speaking, the young people are very happy, this atmosphere is different, in people's hearts this is the old man driving the crane to the west, becoming an immortal, so the young people will be happy for this, should eat and drink, but still have to help.

The old people generally die for a longer period of time, as little as seven days or more than half a month, and the last two days are the beginning of the real funeral, while the previous one has to chant a sutra to surpass the soul and light the night light for them.

The night light must be placed under the coffin and cannot be extinguished, according to the legend, this is the guiding light for the old man on the way to the underworld, and it must be turned on all the time, because the underworld is very dark, and they are afraid that they will not be able to see the light and be frightened, so it is like this, and it feels quite warm to say.

There is a saying that there is any chanting in a place like Xiangyue Village, and almost all corpses are treated equally, but the old are precious, and people will send a few bouquets of flowers when they are buried, and put some special favorite things of the deceased in the coffin.

The funeral in Zhuyue Village belongs to the vertical burial, and nothing else is difficult, just digging the grave is the most laborious, so to prepare for the funeral of the two, the villain first digs two vertical holes of about two meters.

Bai Zaha knew quite well about this, and when the other elders went out, leaving him and Bai Goona, he said to Bai Gona,

"Uncle, you can find someone to take a look at the hole where you are digging, and you have experience in the burial place, please show him a good place, so that I will feel at ease."

Bai Gouna nodded, he always thought that Bai Zaha was a patriarch who was righteous and knew etiquette, he had never doubted this, so he would also respect him very much, Bai Gouna said respectfully,

"I understand, but patriarch, this time you really want to go to the forbidden place in person, I just want to go by me, you don't have to worry about you, my old bones can still be tossed, if something happens I'm alone anyway, and you are a person with a wife and children, you still have to think about it."

Bai Zaha smiled, shook his head and said,

"Uncle, I have made up my mind, you don't have to stop me, I'm just like you, your own uncle, you want to be good, you don't have to fight with me, prepare for the aftermath of the two of them, I ......"

Bai Zaha exhaled a long breath, and then said with a feeling of loneliness,

"I'll talk to those three."

Bai Gona also shook his head and nodded with a sigh, and then said,

"Patriarch don't worry, without further ado, I'll make arrangements."

Bai Gouna staggered out of the house, Bai Zaha looked at his distant back, there was a lot of complexity in his eyes, he collected his emotions, and then went to Bai Gona's house, because Xiao An and they were there.

"It's noon now, and it stands to reason that Elder Bai is back, but why is there still no one?" Zhou Maoyin paced back and forth without the slightest problem, muttering in his mouth.

Xiao An replied,

"Mr. Zhou, don't worry, they must be discussing the matter of the deceased now, after all, two lives occurred in two days, in such a small village, this matter is extraordinary, you better wait patiently, maybe he will come back soon."

Zhou Maoyin is indeed in a hurry, because he is the first person to arrive at the scene, if they don't believe in any demonic theory, then he will definitely not be able to escape the involvement, although Zhou Maoyin is very confident, but it is inevitable that he is also a little worried, how to be good, whether to tell the truth, or .......

Zhou Maoyin shook his head, let himself not think nonsense, he was not afraid of the shadow, if it wasn't him, it wasn't him, and the dead were so tragic, how could he be suspicious of him!

Huang Bo looked at Zhou Maoyin's movements casually, he didn't want to think about these things, hurt his head, and take one step at a time.

The three of them each thought about what they were thinking, and suddenly looked up, only to see a figure in front of Bai Goona's house, this person was not Bai Goona, but Bai Zaha.

The three of them all got up, and as soon as Bai Zaha came, I am afraid that things will not be so simple, and the three of them are naturally thinking like this now.

Bai Zaha leaned over, looked up at the three, and then quickened his pace, his mouth was already panting, and some snow was already falling above his head.

In fact, Bai Zaha stopped and stopped along the way, and he didn't know how to talk to Xiao An about it, but since Xiao An said before that he was quite concerned about this kind of thing, he would naturally agree to go to the cave together, and as for the rest, I will talk about it later.

After all this struggle, he finally arrived, and then quickened his pace.

The three of them invited Bai Zaha to take a seat, Bai Zaha's expression was not particularly good, but he smiled a little embarrassedly, and the first thing he said was to Zhou Maoyin,

"Mr. Zhou, I heard that you were the first person to see it today, so can you tell me about it?"
