Chapter 635: Wake the Spirit

After coming out of the deacon's room.

Zhang Rong and I went back to the dormitory to pack up, and went down the mountain with our bags on our backs.

Zhang Rong didn't have a car, so he could only ride the motorcycle in the Taoist temple.

Luckily, it's summer, and if it's winter, we'll be frozen all the way.

After riding for almost an hour, we arrived at the deceased's house.

The deceased's name is Shen Gongquan, 74 years old this year, he has five sons, and his wife passed away ten years ago.

When he was young, this old man was a waste collector and opened a scrap station.

Don't look at it as a waste collection, but this line of work is very profitable, plus the old man has worked for most of his life, saved a lot of money, not only renovated the family house, rebuilt the former two-story bungalow into a four-story bungalow, but also built a bungalow for the eldest son, and bought a car for the second son.

When the previous sons got married, it was all the money from the old man.

Now that the old man has passed away, and his sons are also filial, they have all put down their work and are ready to finish the last few days of their father, but they didn't expect this strange thing to happen.

The mourning hall is located in the four-storey bungalow where the elderly live, the first floor is a hall, and there is a large space next to the hall, which is usually used for parking, and now it is used to park the remains of the elderly, as a mourning hall.

When he goes out, the junior brother has to listen to the senior brother, so Zhang Rong is communicating with the family throughout the whole process.

When we came, there were many relatives and friends who came to mourn, and these relatives and friends were basically in a township or a nearby village, so there were a lot of people at the scene.

But we never saw Mr. Yin and Yang who did things on the scene.

When the elders of the family pass away, they will generally do things, one is to guide the deceased to reincarnate and open the way for him, and the other is that the longer the Dharma is done, the more there will be a row, and the main family also has face, and what stands out is a filial piety.

And the old man's family is not poor, and he can be regarded as a well-off person in the township, so it is impossible not to do things.

"Didn't you invite Mr. Yin and Yang?"

Zhang Rong asked the old man's eldest son, Shen Jun.

Shen Jun said embarrassedly: "My dad had a stroke for half a year, and there were signs of leaving before he passed away. ”

"He is a person who saves, saves a lifetime, and he doesn't want to spend this money, so we also respect his intentions, so we don't give him practical things."

Zhang Rong nodded: "The old man is still too frugal, so you have someone to keep a vigil at night, right?" Didn't you hear anything at night? ”

Shen Jun was embarrassed again: "I...... The heart wasn't so good and the doctor said I couldn't stay up late. ”

Zhang Rong looked at the second child of the Shen family again.

The second child said: "I have high blood pressure, and I can't stay up all night." ”

The third child: "My rheumatism is ......"

Fourth: "My head hurts a little lately......"

The fifth child is the most direct: "I'm sleepy ......"

I couldn't help but laugh when I stood on the sidelines, thinking that this old man had given birth to five Lin Daiyu, and he was weak and sickly.

Zhang Rong didn't know what to say, so he was stunned for a moment and asked, "That's it...... There's just no one to keep a watch, right? ”

"No, no! How is that possible! ”

Lao Wu hurriedly said: "I guarded, and the others kept the day, but I ...... You said that I was also in my thirties, unlike young people, and it was impossible to go without sleeping all night, and then I was sleepy, and I took a nap in the second half of the night......"

Shen Jun took over and asked us: "Two masters, what kind of situation do you see here, what is wrong with my father, will there be anything...... More serious consequences? How should this be handled? ”

Zhang Rong couldn't answer him for a while, after all, he didn't know anything about the situation.

He glanced at the coffin, and the old man's face had been re-covered with a white cloth, and because the weather was relatively hot, he did not put the 'shou quilt' on his body.

"Well, we've been here for the past two days."

Zhang Rong said to them: "You arrange a place for us to sleep, and we will help you keep the spirit at night, and you will keep watch during the day until we have buried the deceased before leaving." ”

The brothers exchanged heads and discussed, and said that there was no problem with Zhang Rong's proposal.

But Shen Jun still asked again worriedly: "Master, we mean, my dad is in this situation, is he ...... What are your unfulfilled wishes? We have heard that if the elderly are not restless, it may cause some problems for future generations. ”

Zhang Rong sighed: "I don't know how to explain it to you, because the specific situation needs to be analyzed specifically, but we don't know what the situation is now, so for the rest of the night, we will stay here and take a look first." ”

"Then after the old man's funeral, we will also overtake him, as long as he goes where he should go, no strange things will happen again. As for the follow-up impact you mentioned, now it's all cremation, and you have also chosen the cemetery, as long as the cemetery is okay, it won't have any impact, and then we will go to the cemetery to show you feng shui. ”

The brothers said that there was no problem, and they were mainly worried about the follow-up problems.

The next step is to discuss how much the honorarium should be paid, and after finalizing the honorarium, give a deposit.

In the end, the remuneration was set at 20,000 yuan.

After all, it's not for a rich boss, and it's a more reasonable price for ordinary people to charge 20,000 yuan.

Originally, these five brothers only wanted to give 15,000, but Zhang Rong talked about 20,000, because he had to go to see feng shui in the future.

After receiving the deposit, Zhang Rong and I sat in the mourning hall and read the Sutra of Relief and Removal of Grievances to the old man.

The old man must have cheated the corpse, because he had something in his stomach.

If the chanting can be recited to him, the 20,000 yuan will not be troublesome.

In the evening, after we had finished eating, we began to hold a vigil.

Before the wake, for the sake of safety, Zhang Rong took out the red rope and pasted it on the head and tail of the coffin with adhesive tape, and a bell was tied to the red rope.

After pasting the red rope, Zhang Rong also persuaded the old man.

"Old man, people die like lights going out, so don't make trouble for future generations."

"We're here to keep you for two nights, if you have any unfulfilled wishes, just come with your soul, and we won't get up with this body, okay?"
