Chapter 28: The Funeral of the Old Village Master (II)
"Stop!
At the crossroads, at the sound of the master of ceremonies, everyone stopped and stood still.
The heavy coffin was slowly placed on top of two logs.
Putting it on the ground means that it has been put into the ground, and the feng shui of the tomb loses its practical meaning, so the coffin cannot be placed directly on the ground after it is completely made and until it is loaded into the tomb of the dead. This is what Mr. Feng Shui said, and there is also a saying that the coffin is damaged and it is not conducive to the survival of the deceased in the underworld.
The soldiers quickly set up a mourning hall.
The filial sons lined up on both sides of the road.
The master of ceremonies said: "The memorial begins." Filial son to drink wine! One kowtow! Then kowtow! Three kowtows! Filial son burns incense ······"
Qi Hengxing personally poured wine, burned incense, burned paper, bowed, and led all filial sons to complete the simple memorial and continue to move forward.
With the sound of the rope creaking against the coffin, the coffin left the ground and began to move forward.
As soon as she moved, Mrs. Qi Hengxing, who had been standing at the crossroads and waiting, grabbed the five-colored grain in the bucket and threw it vigorously towards the coffin.
"Huh······ Who······"
This is "fighting evil", and it is also fighting the five ghosts.
said that the person is dead, but the evil spirit is still there, and if the evil spirit is not driven away, the Lord of Yama will refuse to accept it.
"Oops! ”
"Much easier!"
Only three handfuls of five-colored grain were scattered, and the people who carried the coffin felt it.
It can be seen that this heinous and sinful bad old man has already died too late!
"Bang!"
There was a crisp sound, and in the middle of the crossroads, Qi Xing smashed the clay pot.
The band also replaced the mournful repertoire with a melodious, light-hearted and melodious tune of the 800-mile Qinchuan folk song.
After the coffin arrived.
The soldiers of the Qi family and the plainclothes of the government set the people who came to see the excitement five zhang away from the tomb, and the people only obeyed, and no one dared to move.
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"
A wave of men in patrol uniforms wielded swords to clear the way.
Officials at all levels and local celebrities and gentlemen who came to the scene entered from the gap between the people, sat on the stools that had been placed in advance, and personally helped to watch the burial process of the Qi family, in order to show the strength and friendly concern of the Qi family.
Zhou Mengyuan, Qiao Shan Lao Wei and Lingzhi Qin'er stood together.
The old monster is ahead.
Zhou Mengyuan has Qin'er on one side and Ganoderma lucidum on the other.
Mu Mu put the hairy egg on his neck, happy to applaud his son, and scratched his father's ears, completely forgetting the smell of Mu Mu's body.
There are too many onlookers and the crowd is a little crowded, but it brings a rare opportunity for some people to naturally put their bodies against women.
Zhou Mengyuan tried to hold Qin'er's hand.
On the other side, Lingzhi held Zhou Mengyuan's hand tightly.
Zhou Mengyuan's eyes looked ahead, but his attention was scattered on both sides, he felt the smallness and softness of Qin'er's hand, and also felt the burning and power of Lingzhi's hand. Suddenly, thinking of Dou Ya'er, and remembering her frequent hugs not because of passion, but when they really needed it, Zhou Mengyuan's brows locked.
Three women, one of them is unwilling to give up, and one of them is unwilling to let them get hurt.
"You're shameless, stay away from me!"
Suddenly, a woman's voice shouted nearby.
The crowd immediately focused their gaze.
It may be that someone wants to take advantage of others and is angrily reprimanded.
Qin'er was startled, and hurriedly withdrew her little hand, put it behind her back, and grabbed the wrist of her other hand.
Zhou Mengyuan also wanted to withdraw his other hand, but he didn't pull it out, Lingzhi was really too tight and too tight.
Before the burial, there is a brief memorial service.
First of all, an uncle from Qi Hengxing simply recalled the life of Boss Qi.
However, the memories of that life really can't be reconciled with the scale of this spectacular funeral.
just said how to respect the old and love the young, and did not mention what he did in his life and the impact on society.
Next, the prefectural order gave a eulogy.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the sky is low and the clouds are falling, Qiao Shan is mourning, on the day of the burial of the old man······"
Vague and didn't say anything strange.
The third item is to thank all the guests and those who have contributed to this matter, and all the visitors are included in the words.
The master of ceremonies said: "Finally, I am specially invited to speak, Lord Inspector!"
The provincial capital inspector Mi sat there without moving, waved his hand, and turned his gaze away.
After the master of ceremonies asked Qi Hengxing to "shake his head in denial" with his eyes, he walked to the top of the main kiln room of the tomb and said loudly: "The auspicious time has come!
"One, two, three, hi!"
In a strong friction between the squeaky rope and the coffin, the coffin rose and was slowly transported to the burial position of the tomb.
"Slow down in the west······ The people behind work harder, and the rope must be rhythmic······"
According to the master of ceremonies, the soldiers lined up in four columns on both sides, like a tug-of-war, and each grabbed eight thick ropes to firmly fall the bundled coffin into the grave.
More than a dozen craftsmen and small workers went down with tools.
After that, how did the coffin enter the kiln room, how did the various burial goods be placed, and how did the kiln door be sealed······
Everything below is invisible to onlookers from afar.
About an hour and a half later.
It's two o'clock in the morning.
For such a long time, it is estimated that the following things are almost settled.
The people who were working in the grave began to come up one after another.
The next step is to backfill the earth.
Backfilling the earthwork is a hard and intense job.
The tomb palace, which was built in half a year, should be filled in in the shortest possible time, and even a waterproof and anti-theft earthen bag should be piled up! Therefore, the relatives of the deceased should open the good wine at this time and hand it to everyone to drink to relieve fatigue.
The soldiers had already taken their shovels and stood around the tomb, waiting for the master of ceremonies to give orders.
At this time, two sweaty men came to the tomb with a wheelbarrow, each containing a rectangular wooden box.
With everything in place, the arrival of the wheelbarrow was a sight to behold.
Officials at all levels and celebrities and gentlemen also looked at it with curiosity.
The wooden box has a plain appearance, and there is no special decoration, but it is painted with ordinary tung oil, and it shines brightly in the sunlight.
Several soldiers quickly came and wanted to tie them up with ropes and hang them into the tomb.
"Wait!"
A soprano shouted angrily at an octave high, like a thunderbolt, which shook the entire Xiguan Mountain.
Who is so bold? How dare to go wild in the Qi Family Cemetery!
The roar of rage, which was higher than the octave higher, startled the officials and local celebrities and gentlemen as if a nail had suddenly poked out from under their buttocks, and they jumped up at the same time.
Qi Hengxing, who was talking to the officials, also looked back urgently, and couldn't come back to his senses for a while, and he couldn't react to what happened.
The crowd was in an uproar. They were all dumbfounded.
The soldier with the rope was so frightened that he threw it away and was at a loss for what to do.
Heroes are coming!
Old Monster Qiao took a sharp breath, ready to help in the battle.
Shouts came from the air.
When everyone saw it, the masked man had landed in front of the wooden box from the sky.
"Smack!"
The masked man waved his arms and palms together.
These powerful palms, like two sharp machetes exploding in an instant, continued to slash down.
"Bang!
The two wooden boxes were divided into two halves.
The masked man did not say a word or linger, his body was as light as a flying fairy and as fast as a whirlwind, and the coming and going was only an instant, that is, when a "and slow" voice fell, followed by two clicks and the wooden box broke, everyone had quickly drifted away before they came to their senses.
By the time Qi Hengxing figured it out, it was too late.
Seeing this, the birdman was unwilling to give up.
Jumping up, the flyfly stepped on the top of the head of the lively person and chased away, and quickly used a nameless palm move in the air.
Where the palm of the palm was facing, that is, behind the masked man, "Boom!" The stone and sand rose like a long dragon, and the rapid launch was like a raindrop and threw it at the masked man.
The masked man harrier turned over, avoiding the incoming stone rain and pushed it back with one palm.
The powerful palm wind caused the stone and sand to turn back urgently, and some of them struck each other into ashes, and a bowl-sized turnback stone smashed straight into the birdman.
The birdman didn't expect the masked man to have this trick, and before he could dodge, the two stones that returned in succession hit him in the chest.
With a "Ahh
By the time the reinforcements arrived, the masked man was gone.
If you don't have the courage to capture the dragon alive, how dare you break into the "dragon and phoenix cave"?
Without the effort to force the Yellow River to flow backwards, how dare he come to the funeral site of the heavily guarded Lord Qi, and split a secret that defies the sky and causes an uproar in the world-
The bodies of a pair of boys and girls were suddenly revealed, appearing in everyone's sight.
The people present were shocked and dumbfounded.
Officials at all levels also stirred.
The Inspector Mi sitting in the center pointed his finger at the head of Zhuge County Order, and he was so angry that he couldn't speak, shaking his head and brushing his sleeves away.
Behind him, there were immediately bodyguards who brought their own bodyguards to follow.
"Inspector!
The county lord chased after him for a few steps, and when he saw that there was no response, he hurriedly turned around and said, "How can there be such a thing?" ”
Qi was angry and rampant, staring at the leopard's eyes that were almost about to pop out, and said loudly and angrily: "Lao Tzu doesn't care what level his mother is, my surname Qi is just a thief! As long as Lao Tzu is happy, he can do what he wants, see which grandson can help me?"
As soon as he heard this, the county order immediately softened, and whispered: "I just want to remind you, next time you should pay attention." ”
"Watch out for a bird! Do you want Lao Tzu's whole family to die?"
"That'······ We're going first. Farewell!"
The county order is gone.
"Get out! Get out of here! Soldiers, show your guys, get rid of these poor ghosts who eat our food for nothing and watch us be lively! Violators, all of them will be beheaded!"
Qi Hengxing roared and trembled, and was already crazy to the point of collapse.
The famous murderous devil Qi Jiazhai owner spoke, and who dared to stay in the crowd to see the excitement?
The crowd fled like a river bursting its banks, like a raging torrent.
Shouting, shouting, crying, scolding······ The hodgepodge has become an indescribable horror noise...
A stampede is raging...
The old monster of Qiao Shan protected their group, knowing that Mu Mu was incapable of taking the hairy eggs, he grabbed them and held them under his armpits.
Zhou Mengyuan held Qin'er and Lingzhi tightly with both hands, lest there be a mistake.
Mu Mu, as well as Qin'er's parents, all fled with everyone.
In less than half a moment, almost all the people who had nothing to do with the funeral fled the scene, leaving more than 20 people lying on their stomachs, trampled so that none of them could stand up on their own.
Some have already lost their breath.
Some are dying.
Yes, baring their teeth and screaming.
Shoes, bags, luggage, and food left at the scene were everywhere.
Honest and poor Mumu has no shadow.
Together with other waiting family members, Zhou Mengyuan and them have been waiting on the path outside the cemetery.
Until he heard a soldier come to pass the word, and during the trampling, Lingzhi, who sprained his ankle, shed tears.
Mao Dan cried to his father, saying that he would never think he stinks anymore.
The messenger said, "Don't wait. Get out of here. The dead and wounded were all buried in the graves. The owner of the village said that anyone who was unwilling to leave would be pulled over to make funeral offerings for Mr. Qi. ”
Qiao Shan thought strangely, this place in the Qi family village is simply strange, stealing a horse and meeting a "strange horse", and the funeral flew to the "strange fairy", which way of the gods is the obstacle? Or how many unjust souls are waiting for the opportunity to take revenge?
You can't live if you do your own evil!
