Chapter 46: The Burial

Burial, burial after death, burial before the coffin, the overall instrument of the finishing. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info This is a ritual that is completed by Mr. Taoist priests who have recited the scriptures excessively. The process is very simple, but if you don't know the doorway, it is also very complicated.

The deceased will generally wear a shroud, which can be determined according to family conditions, with three yarns and three cloths, and five pieces inside and five outside. Of course, the more you wear, the more filial piety your children and grandchildren will be.

From ancient times to the present, the ceremony of burial has not changed, only due to different regions and different cultures, the way of burial is different. The burial is solemn, and it is not sloppy at all.

The time is generally from midnight to the time when the rooster crows, and the lights are blocked by sheets and cloths around the perimeter, and the filial son and grandson are responsible for sending the deceased into the coffin. At the same time, a filial son must be sent to patrol outside the mourning hall to prevent cats from sneaking into the mourning hall.

After death, the body quickly withers, and day by day it loses weight and bones. The mouth of the deceased is usually open, which requires a person to close the mouth of the deceased. Legend has it that when you go to hell, don't say what you can. Finally, the deceased's face is covered with straw paper.

It is necessary for the deceased to put money in his right hand and sugar in his left hand. There are many hungry ghosts and gluttonous ghosts in hell, if you meet them on the Huangquan Road, you can use sugar to kill them. As for money, the so-called 'Hades is good, but the little ghosts are difficult', and the money is used to bribe the ghosts in the underworld to facilitate the deceased to get on the road.

The rituals are many and complicated, and everything is decided by the Taoist priest. When everything is ready, the Taoist priest leaves, and the filial sons are left to guard the deceased who have not yet covered the coffin.

Folks say that rats like to gnaw dead people, if you don't guard against rats, this rat will climb into the coffin and gnaw the corpses of relatives to pieces. If this happens, it is the greatest disrespect to the deceased.

And now, Uncle Li wants to carry out King Nammer's body, and he needs to have a funeral ceremony, to put it bluntly, he is fooling King Nammer, saying that you have a hard time here, and you don't even have a shroud, I will take you to a good place. Where the wind doesn't blow or rain, you can still enjoy the worship of incense.

In my opinion, it's, but find some psychological comfort.

Uncle Li took out a gilded cat, the cat had three whiskers, placed aside, Uncle Li lit a stick of incense, respectfully and cautiously bowed to the civet. After three bows and nine bows, seeing that everything was normal, Uncle Li's face was happy, and he hurriedly put on incense and told Atai to hurry up and work.

Altai took out a shroud and climbed onto King Nammer's coffin. So he buried himself in the coffin and toiled hard, and in a short time he wrapped King Nammh like a mummy.

Artey waded down with his back to King Nammer's body, and a rope bound him together. King Nammer put his hands on Atay's shoulders, and I could clearly sense Atay's fear.

Tied up with a corpse, whoever changes this thing will be weak-hearted.

Uncle Li stood in front of the coffin, his mouth kept reading, burning incense and scattering paper money. In my opinion, is this formation too big? Isn't it just a funeral, just carry the corpse and leave, why bother so much.

"It's a pity that the corpse chasing faction, if there is still the skill of chasing corpses, it will not fall like this." Han Touqi, who was watching from the sidelines, shook his head, Xu is he also felt that this ceremony was too complicated and troublesome.

I have heard a lot of corpses, and there are many folk legends, but no one has ever witnessed them with their own eyes. So much so that many people think that this is just a rumor circulating in Xiangxi.

However, as a Taoist priest, he is convinced of driving out corpses. They believe that the current art of exterminating corpses is just a decline and the craft is lost.

There are seven major sects in the southern folk, but there is no one faction that chases out corpses. Uncle Li and they can also be regarded as the descendants of the corpse chaser, because they lack craftsmanship, they can't support a sect, so they can only carry corpses, which makes many people on the road look down on.

"Up!"

Uncle Li roared, and in the coffin, Atai stood upright, and on his back, the body of King Nammer was also picked up by him. Today's King Nammer is like an informant doll, and his every move is controlled by Atai.

looked at King Nammer, who was tied up like a mummy, behind Atay, and looked at Atay with sweat on his forehead. I couldn't help but be helpless, so I relied on Atai to carry out the mountain, and I don't know how much effort it would take.

Uncle Li's so-called funeral ceremony is finally completed, and we can also pack up and rush back.

Walking in front, I looked back at Atay from time to time, and I really wanted to run over and ask him how it was like to carry an ancient corpse on his back. In the end, I still held back, people may be depressed to death now, why bother to squeeze him again.

To my surprise, it was not so much that Atai was carrying the corpse, but that he was controlling the corpse to walk automatically. King Nammer's body was tied to Atay with his hands and feet, and was propped up with wooden poles, and at first glance, it looked like a mummy imitating Atay, following behind him.

We soon walked out of the mausoleum, and in the outer burial hall, the seventeen zombies were gone, and the coffins were covered again, all sealed with rune paper. It seems that this external trouble has long been solved, but I don't know where the leptic girl is.

Listening to Han Touqi, the whereabouts of the leatic girl have been unknown and she has never appeared again.

As for the grandfather, they have already left, and his task is mainly to be responsible for the safety of the archaeological team, and it is impossible to enter the mausoleum.

"Uncle Li, you see that there are more than a dozen ancient corpses here, why don't you guide and guide, and I will carry one out?" The monk pointed to the coffin and said with a flattering smile: "Master Dao, I finally came here, took such a big risk, and went back empty-handed, I always feel a little at a loss." ”

Uncle Li hurriedly waved his hands and said, "No, no, this is a living corpse, it can't be carried on its back, and the risk is too great, and I don't have the ability to control them." ”

The monk pursed his lips and snorted coldly, very unwillingly, staring at the coffin next to him, not knowing what he was thinking.

Looking at the monk's appearance, I was speechless for a while, if he really dared to carry the ancient corpse back, I was afraid that my grandfather would really break his legs. Besides, I don't know how many ancient corpses Atai has carried on his back, and now he is struggling to do it, even if you monk give you an ancient corpse, can you carry it?

Thinking of this, I looked at Atay behind me. It's okay not to look at it, but it scares my soul when I see it.

The king of Nammer behind Atay was originally tied up in a sturdy knot, and he didn't even have a gap between his eyes. Now, King Nammer had a pair of eyes, like a pair of black holes, staring coldly at Artay.

The worst thing is that King Nammer actually opened his mouth and bit down on Atai's neck.

I screamed, but unfortunately it was too late. King Nammer was faster than me, and he bit Atay first, and Atay let out a scream of pain.

I watched as Atai fell to the ground, blood spilling down in a puddle of blood, and his body was still twitching. After a while, there will be no movement at all, and it seems that I am afraid that I will not be saved.

It all came so fast that we couldn't react to it. Moreover, no one thought that King Nammer's decomposing corpse with only bones would suddenly come back to life.

Didn't Uncle Li do the funeral ceremony? Moreover, he also used their ancestral corpse carrying technique to control the corpse early. Why is this still the case?

All of us looked at Uncle Li, hoping that he would give an answer.

It's a pity that at this moment, Uncle Li looked at Atai on the ground who didn't know whether he was alive or dead, as if he had lost his soul, and he was afraid that there was no hope. We hurriedly stepped back and distanced ourselves from King Nammer.

King Nammer was tasting the flesh of Atay, the shroud red with blood, and his hands were constantly tearing at the shroud that bound him, occasionally making a rat-like sound, creaking and harsh.

"Damn Master Qin, he calculated too ruthlessly, and even King Nammer performed a spell." Han Touqi frowned, wanting to dig out something from his backpack, but except for a bell and a piece of rune paper, it was difficult to turn out other objects.

"What technique? Don't fuck it again. The monk asked.

"Who knows, if Lao Tzu had that ability, he would be as embarrassed as he is now." Han Touqi replied angrily.

Zhao Sizhi also panicked, and quickly flipped up his backpack.

According to what they said, the things they were carrying had already been consumed by the dozen or so zombies in the coffin, and there were almost no left. Now that King Nammer has undergone another corpse mutiny, it will be difficult to deal with it, so let's prepare to escape.

Zhao Sizhi was even more pitiful, after turning over for a long time, he turned out a broken wooden sword, looked at it for a long time, and threw it on the ground in a fit of anger. He took out a pistol from his waist and said very unconfidently: "This King Nammer can only fight hard, and I don't know if he is afraid of bullets." ”
