Chapter 22 The second merit, the coffin of the mourning hall
The official is brilliant and extravagant, this kind of physiognomy is either a rich party, or a high-ranking official, and he is very capable in some families.
"Li Xiang, 35 years old, a native of Changzhou, Hunan Province, has two old people in the family, a brother in the same generation, and a daughter who is upright and upright."
Li Xiang was quite shocked when he heard this, and he didn't even react after a passerby bumped into him.
"Heavenly Master can even calculate my name and household registration just by looking at my face!?"
"That's not true, it's just that I accidentally glanced at your ID card when it fell to the ground, and the rest can be counted out one or two."
I pointed to the ID card at his feet, and at the same time I was speculating that there was no evil spirit on this person's body, and there was no bad luck in his face.
Li Xiang picked up his ID card, patted the dust on it, put it in his jacket pocket, straightened his bow tie, and suddenly looked serious.
"Heavenly Master, are you out of the museum, my friend has encountered some evil things there, and I want to ask someone who knows how to take a look."
In this way, it makes sense why he came to my shop early in the morning to stand guard, as long as he didn't put me on purpose.
"Out, but just look at the good fate of the face."
"Good karma?"
Hearing this, Li Xiang was stunned, and kept repeating and chewing, and suddenly he suddenly became enlightened: "Oh, I understand, good karma...... Shanyuan! ”
I took the red envelope in his hand and put it into the counter of the store with peace of mind, after all, it was not easy for me to open it in front of him, and it would be embarrassing if he gave it less.
"Do you want to leave today?"
"Let's go now!"
The day after I came to the county seat, the second merit came to my door, and it seems that the forty-nine merits mentioned by my grandfather are not difficult.
Sitting in the leather seats, which were more comfortable than Sun Wenjun's car, I played with the objects on the co-pilot.
"Master Li, can you tell me about what kind of evil thing it is?"
Li Xiang turned his head to look at me, his sword eyebrows slightly raised.
"Zhao Tianshi, don't call me any bitter master, I see that you and your daughter are not much different in age, how about calling me Uncle Li if you can afford me?"
"It's better to be respectful, Uncle Li, then don't call me Tianshi, just call me Tianming."
For some reason, I always felt that he was approachable, without a fight, and not as hypocritical as the Sun family.
With just a few simple physiognomy words, he believes in my ability, and it is worth calling him Uncle Li.
"That's right, my friend's father passed away a week ago, and according to local customs, it took seven days and seven nights to build the hall, but when those gentlemen finished the dojo and prepared to build the hall yesterday, they found that the coffin lid could not be covered anyway."
"Every time I put the lid on, I was pushed open inexplicably, but there was no one around...... Especially in the second half of the night, when the people who were keeping vigil went to sleep, the mourning hall where the coffin was parked suddenly blew over all the things placed by the gentlemen. Terrible, several gentlemen claimed to have seen my friend's father greeting them with a bloody chicken in his hand and asking them if they would eat it. ”
"Those gentlemen can recite some scriptures and have no real skills, and they were so frightened by this scene that they all ran and begged, and my friend's coffin fell to the ground and no one cared!"
"In this way, none of those relatives and friends dared to stay in the house, at that time, a blind fortune teller passed by the door, and my friend entertained him with delicious food and drink to ask him what the matter was, which was just to take him close to the mourning hall and call it impossible to run away."
"My friend really can't help it, before dawn, please ask a few powerful gentlemen in the county to do a long thing."
"I inquired all the way, and many people said that there was really a great master in the Shixiang Pavilion that day, although I saw the shop change today, but after seeing your means, I still brought you over."
Listening carefully to the ins and outs of the whole thing, I already have eyebrows in my heart, probably because the bitter master still has a wish and refuses to leave, and those gentlemen have not exceeded the Dharma deeds, so it is normal for these situations to occur.
To sum up, this is a trivial matter, and it is not too evil.
So I can basically get this merit easily.
"I understand Uncle Li, this matter is not difficult."
Hearing my assurance, Li Xiang breathed a sigh of relief, after all, that person was his friend from birth to death, so he naturally wanted to give a satisfactory answer.
"By the way, Tianming, my friend gave you an honorarium of 50,000 yuan, but this time it may delay your business for a day or two, so how about I compensate you with an additional 20,000 yuan."
"And compensation?"
I have to say that Li Xiang's generosity really shocked me, not to mention that the shop is not small, I am a newcomer, and I am afraid that I will not be able to earn 20,000 yuan in a month or two.
"Is it less, then 30,000."
This time I nodded affirmatively, otherwise I don't know if I have to add tens of thousands, my grandfather said that you can't be too greedy.
At about a quarter past nine, we came to Pusu Town, and from afar we could see that the tents used for rural banquets occupied half of the road, stretching for hundreds of meters, and it seemed that this family had many relatives!
At the intersection, the soul-attracting banner supported by bamboo poles floats back and forth, and under the soul-attracting banner is countless wreaths and flower baskets, all of which are written with so-and-so.
This is the custom in most places, and when a loved one dies, he will send a wreath to pay tribute, which may be a good way to send a memory.
Walking further down, I still met a lot of guests who came to eat the banquet, not at all like Li Xiang said that no one dared to come.
"Lao Fei, are you busy, I invited a little heavenly master for you, and I can send my uncle away today."
Li Xiang dialed the phone, and a hoarse voice came from the other end of the phone, it seems that he has indeed not been busy in the past two days.
I didn't hear the specific content, but after Li Xiang hung up the phone, there was no smile on his face, but he was a little ...... Guilty?
"Tianming, my uncle is a little sorry for you, my friend said that his uncle invited a local famous duangong from the village, and now he is opening the altar to ask rice to seal the coffin."
"It's a good thing to be able to seal the coffin, which shows that Duan Gong is not a fraudster."
I know what he's guilty about, it's nothing more than that someone has taken my place at work, and his friends can't pay me.
"It's okay, just take it as if it's going around, can you go over and have a look?"
Actually, I'm still sorry for this merit......
Li Xiang didn't speak this time, and took me straight to the mourning hall.
Although the host repeatedly emphasized not to spread the news of last night, he was also afraid that some people would not be able to contain the fire, so he specially brought a black cloth to surround the mourning hall, and he could not be approached unless he was close to him.
Fortunately, Li Xiang had a strong relationship with Kong Fei, and he didn't waste too much tongue to allow me to go in.
Kong Fei took the first step to uncover the black cloth and step into the mourning hall, but suddenly stopped, and Li Xiang didn't stop hitting him for a while.
"Lao Fei, what did you see!"
