12 The coffin of the Ten Pavilions
Topic: When will Jinjiang come back!
Main Building: I'm afraid, why can't I log in after five days this time, I won't send it, right?
1L: You have a young crow's mouth, ahhhhhh
2L: I really smoked long enough, so I made a vague announcement saying that it was technical.
3L: Emmmm Jinjiang rented server is not in our city, I have a little connection, I heard that the server company locked the computer room, day and night have strong men guarding, I don't know what is wrong
4L: Why are you locked, you still use a strong man, why did the server captain beat people?
……
"Ahhh
On the fifth day of Jinjiang's pumping, Yu Zhenzhen, who had a calm face before, collapsed, mainly because it was Friday today, she was not like Lin Yang, and she usually finished reading the update at one time on the weekend.
But the website still can't be logged in, so she is so anxious that she searches everywhere why it collapsed.
Tan Xiao heard it in her ears, and glanced at Yu Zhenzhen thoughtfully, it seems that two more days have passed, and Mu Fei has not found it.
On the contrary, Lin Yang had adapted for a few days, and he had already passed the anxiety of the initial withdrawal, and said with half-closed eyes: "Donor, write a few more volumes and you can recuperate." ”
Yu Zhenzhen was about to turn around and pound on his desk, when she saw the head teacher Ji Huiming walk in, and quickly turned around and sat down.
"Next week, Monthly Kaoha." Ji Huiming nodded on the table, "Don't patronize and play on weekends, they are all sophomores in high school, time flies quickly, you have to have a sense of urgency, right?" ”
Tan Xiao immediately decided to brush up on more chemistry questions on the weekend.
He ranked 18th in his grade in chemistry in the last monthly exam, and he has a tendency to decline, so he must catch it.
Ji Huiming looked around, sighed when he landed on Kong Xuan, and then walked away with a touch of melancholy.
Ji Huiming's movements were not hidden, and many people found out and went to see Kong Xuan. Tan Xiao also glanced at Kong Xuan, thinking that Teacher Ji should be worried about the average score, it is really difficult.
Kong Xuan immediately keenly turned his head and looked at Tan Xiao, sneering in his heart.
Lin Yang slowly leaned back, out of the staggered range of their line of sight.
.
Qinglong Road.
This is the famous "dead man's street" in Nanchu, mainly the Nanchu funeral parlor on the street, surrounded by sacrificial and funeral goods stores. There is also a police station here, and the citizens are said to be the same as the road name "Qinglong", all for the town of the underworld, of course, the truth is unknown.
After Tan Xiao frantically brushed up on the questions, he took the bus to Qinglong Road, and took the sacrificial supplies he customized, which were also regarded as relaxation exercises, and Tan Chunying never advocated letting him bury his head in reading.
Mu Fei came over two days ago, and Tan Xiao gave Mu Fei all the spots, so he had to prepare some new goods. Although his house does not accept tourists now, there will always be other performances, and it is useless to be able to come.
Tan Xiao was familiar with the road, walked through the shops, and arrived at the location, but the boss was not there, and he didn't know where to go, and the phone didn't get through. In fact, the boss must not have gone far, the doors are open, and it is estimated that he is visiting a few shops next to him.
The problem is that Tan Xiao doesn't know his face, so he just stands at the door and looks, thinking that the boss will come over when he sees him.
It was this waiting effort that Tan Xiao saw a boy from the coffin shop next to her go in and ask the boss: "Boss, is the longevity material ordered by our family ready?" I've called you, so I'll pick it up in advance. ”
"Mmmm, get ready, I'm talking about finding someone to carry you to the funeral home." The boss pointed to a new coffin, "That's it, urgent, ten pavilions of fir longevity, you settle the final payment, four thousand eight hundred and eight." ”
"Okay." The boy bowed his head to scan the code.
Tan Xiao walked over and said, "I'm sorry, excuse me, Shige Fir Tree?" ”
Although it is said that the spiritual master lives and the heavenly master dies, this is obviously the various sects and factions refining their business in order to grab business, and everyone wants to cross the line. In addition, they are all in a circle, and the spiritual masters have also mastered the knowledge of white things.
As soon as the boss saw Tan Xiao, his face stiffened, and he recognized that this was Tan Chunying's son, an insider. And when you listen to the tone, it's not good.
He wasn't sure how much Tan Xiao saw, so he said hesitantly: "Well, it's been a long time ago......"
"Are they the ten pavilion fir planks that you custom-ordered?" Tan Xiao emphasized, "Why do I look like this is like the Eighteen Pavilions? ”
The boss scolded wildly in his heart, what eyes, how can you see this?! It's so far away that you can even see how many of them he pretended to be?
The boy immediately noticed that something was wrong: "Boss, are you cheating, let me tell you, my relatives are playing gongs and drums, why don't you think I can see it?" Be careful I'm going to call someone! ”
As soon as the boss heard that the buyer's family also ate food from the underworld, he immediately knew that he was indeed planted, and the other party looked young and strong, so he immediately admitted: "It's a mistake, it's in the backyard!" Really, really, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I don't know if you're together. ”
They are all houses in the village before, and many of the small shops are former and backward workers, and of course, there are also special cooperation with factories.
"If you're not a peer, you can't trick me!" The boy was indignant, urging the boss to go to the backyard to move the longevity materials, and then put his arm on Tan Xiao's shoulder, and said familiarly, "God, thanks to you, if I didn't happen to meet you, my mother would have scolded me to death." ”
Tan Xiao was stunned.
He stared at the other party for a few seconds, thought for a while, and said, "Lin Yang, is your second uncle going to be buried?" "There's no way, it's okay to talk at school, you can tell if you say a few words, and he has to think about it for a long time if it's a relative outside......
"Yes, yes." Sure enough, it was Lin Yang on the other side, "I was called over to help, you just said that I was confused, but why did the boss take what eighteen pavilions to charge me with ten pavilions, isn't it good to have more?" ”
Tan Xiao saw that he guessed correctly, and secretly rejoiced in his heart, and explained: "Ten pieces of wood make a pair of boards, called ten pavilions, twelve roots are called twelve yuan, and eighteen roots are eighteen pavilions." But this is not Han Xin's more soldiers, the better, the number of wood roots is small, it means that the wood is large, strong, and there are few gaps. But your second uncle, why did he still come to order urgent work, he should have prepared the Millennium House a long time ago, right? ”
The old people of Nanchu have the old custom of preparing coffins for themselves early in their lifetimes, and they call this the "Millennium House". Tan Xiao knew that Lin Yang's second uncle had also done nothing before, so how could he not prepare for himself. Those who pay attention to this, from the cemetery, the coffin to the shroud, all prepared by themselves first.
"This," Lin Yang scratched his head, "I also knew that my second uncle had designed a full set of funeral procedures for himself before, and I had thought about who to contact for each procedure." ”
When he went to the second uncle's house, he also heard the second uncle talk about his plan, what Mr. Yin and Yang can't find so-and-so, so-and-so is not in good health, maybe he will go before me, who is good at craftsmanship and rules......
The problem is that the plan can't catch up with the changes, and he thinks too carefully, when he ordered the longevity material, thinking that it would be cremated and then buried, he pondered that the longevity material didn't have to be so big. But now, my aunt and they quarreled with the funeral home, saying that if they don't cremate and bury them directly, the longevity material can't fit - my second uncle is very big. ”
Lin Yang looked helplessly at the Nanchu Funeral Parlor not far away, "Isn't my uncle's family always queuing up for cremation, you should know the refrigerated room before cremation, two hundred yuan a day." Later, because it was not arranged, it was frozen.
"Then because I have been queuing up and not waiting for cremation, and our family is not dreaming a few days ago, I heard that my aunt told the apprentice of the second uncle before, he seems to have done something ritual, divination came out and said that the second uncle may not want to be cremated, and I don't know how to discuss, saying that then go and pull people.
"As a result, I came to collect the body, only to find out that ......" Lin Yang's expression became strange, a little unsure of how to say, and his voice became quieter, "People are all smelly, rotten." ”
Tan Xiao said in surprise: "Refrigerated and frozen, how can it be?" ”
The refrigerator room is above zero, and the freezer room is below zero.
"yes, isn't it a quarrel, who knows what is wrong with their management."
Lin Yang himself didn't understand this, he heard it, but he was also quite indignant, and when he thought of his old dreams, he felt that goosebumps were about to rise.
This is too mysterious!
"It must be because there are too many people, so I cut the queue for someone who has a relationship!" The boss had already asked the workers to carry the coffin out, and pouted beside him.
"You don't know this, every funeral home has this kind of thing in the peak season, especially in winter, when the elderly walk a lot. But it's summer, and it hasn't been cremated, tsk, it's not a big smell. Oops, this kind of money from cheating dead people is also earned, it's damned. ”
Tan Xiao and Lin Yang looked at him together.
The boss bowed his head in shame: "Me too, I should be damned." ”
Tan Xiao: "......"
"The smell is so big, can't the funeral home staff smell it?" Tan Xiao said to herself, Huaxia pays attention to death as life and respects the deceased. In fact, he had heard of the situation like the boss said, but it was a long time ago, and the management was not so strict. Anyway, in terms of the connections of the Xiao family, I haven't heard of such a problem in Nanchu in recent years.
However, no matter what the problem is, the family is already devastated by the loss of their loved ones, and it is a great blow to know that the remains of their loved ones are treated like this.
"If their family hadn't changed their minds, they wouldn't have known. But now that it has been discovered, it is completely possible to claim it. The boss chirped, opening a store here, he has seen a lot, "I tell you, this is their responsibility not to run, tell them to pay." ”
"Besides, now I have to finish the funeral quickly, my uncle and his entire team came before, and there is a Mr. Yin and Yang who is also old and faints." Lin Yang smiled bitterly, "Either how to call me to receive Shoucai, I'm all busy, and I have to contact someone to replace Mr. Yin Yang." ”
Tan Xiao heard this and looked at the time, "If you don't find anyone, I'll take a look." ”
Lin Yang said in surprise: "Really? ”
"Really, my mom said she worked with your uncle twice when she was younger." Tan Xiao now wants to give her classmates a hand, but on the other hand, she always feels that something is strange in her heart, and she can't think of it.
Lin Yang's second uncle was previously in the Yin Gong and Drum Class, as the name suggests, the Yin Gong and Drum correspond to Yang, and it is a kind of gong and drum team that handles white affairs and sacrifices to the dead, also called "singing funeral songs", with strong Chu characteristics.
There is usually a character in their team who communicates with ghosts and gods, such as Mr. Yin and Yang, Xianniang, and spirit masters are also okay, and when Tan Chunying was not fully transferred to the cultural tourism track in his early years, he also worked with them a few times to earn money together.
Tan Xiao and Lin Yang, together with the workers of the coffin shop, moved the coffin to the rented car and entered the funeral home.
……
Lin Yang's aunt and his party have been invited to the office, and as soon as they finished talking, after Tan Xiao and Lin Yang arrived, they happened to see Aunt Lin walking out with a gloomy face, and the person in charge of the funeral home was still bowing in the back.
There was a young man next to him who whispered: "It's really checked every day, it's obviously fine, how can there be a problem with the temperature......"
"Say no more!" The person in charge saw Aunt Lin's eyebrows raised, and hurriedly stopped the young man, "This must be our problem, and I would like to sincerely apologize to the family again." ”
Saying that, he kept bowing, at this time, how can you fight with your family, not to mention that you didn't pay attention to it.
Tears rolled in the young man's eyes, and he bowed, "I'm sorry." ”
Aunt Lin's eyes were also red, she wiped the corners of her eyes, looked at them hatefully, turned her head to her father's apprentice and said, "Brother Ning, let's go." ”
She took a deep breath to control her emotions and asked, "Did you find the gentleman?" ”
Uncle Lin Yang's apprentice was actually more than ten years younger than him, and he was quite old, so he frowned at this time and said, "Not yet." ”
"That, auntie, this is my classmate." Lin Yang hurriedly interjected, "His name is Tan Xiao, I was almost deceived by the coffin shop owner outside just now, he helped me see it, and said to come and help." ”
The custom of China is that relatives and friends come to help with red and white ceremonies, and it is not surprising that they have come to help with the handle, they are in chaos here.
Brother Ning looked at Tan Xiao, but he said "ah" and recognized it, "Talk about Chunying's son, right?" ”
Tan Xiao nodded and said hello, and then called: "Brother Ning." ”
The members of their team, regardless of their age, are all called the team leaders by their brothers. Tan Xiao followed by this call, everyone will not feel rude, but will only understand that he knows the rules.
"Oh, your family is fine now." Brother Ning squeezed out the first laugh today, "Ask your mother for me, you don't know, I used to have difficulties at home, Tan Chunying signed a performance contract with the scenic spot, and she said that she wanted to add me and my brothers and asked us to accompany her." Are you in high school now? ”
Tan Xiao nodded, "In the second year of high school, Lin Yang and I are classmates. ”
"Okay, okay, learn from your mother, you have learned this craft, and your job will be more stable than ours in the future." Brother Ning also knows that Tanjia is now the business card of Nanchu's folk culture, and there are many official invitations.
"Grandpa Ning," Lin Yang is not in this business, he usually calls grandpa, but when he shouts it today, he always feels that he is a few generations shorter than Tan Xiao, and he wonders, "Tan Xiao just said that if there are not enough people, he can help." ”
Tan Xiao said "um", "If there is less spiritualism, I can go on." ”
Aunt Lin wiped her tears: "Really? ”
Their original plan was to take it back and operate it for three days, but now they found that the corpse was stinking, and they were in a hurry to enter the earth after divination.
Although Aunt Lin didn't recognize Tan Xiao, she heard that Brother Ning praised Tan Xiao's mother, and he was Lin Yang's classmate, so she knew that she was reliable.
"Yes, my mother is not in Nanchu now, it stands to reason that she must be willing to help in this matter." Tan Xiao explained, "I have seen these processes since I was a child, if Brother Ning thinks it is okay, I will give you a hand." ”
"Yes, why not." Brother Ning nodded immediately, "Then it's hard for you, you will escort the car with us and the filial daughter later." ”
Tan Xiao nodded and walked with Lin Yang.
The people of the Yin Gong and Drum Class got together, and some people raised objections to Brother Ning: "Brother Ning, talking about Chunying's old mascot, do you really call his little mascot to take the class?" ”
Brother Ning has accepted Tan Chunying's love, but some people think that Tan Chunying is not very good, and it is more appropriate to be a mascot.
Old Man Lin asked everyone to get him out for burial in his own dream, maybe he has a grudge.
"Why don't you find someone who can summon spirits now? Who is responsible for the long delay? Brother Ning's face was blank, "The Mr. Yin and Yang in front of him has already set the place, what can be wrong with him following the ceremony." ”
In the ceremony, Mr. Yin and Yang or the spiritual master are mainly responsible for three things, dividing the gold and looking at the land, sealing the coffin and clearing the road, and settling down the gods.
The first item was to see that the old man had already completed it himself, and the cemetery was personally chosen by him. An family god means that when the funeral noise arrives, the family god will be appeased with rituals, but they are now buried urgently, and they will not be mourned at all.
In fact, there is only a clear way to seal the coffin, which is really not difficult in comparison.
"Although this is the reason, he is a young ......" The man knew that this was the best choice, and he couldn't help but say a few words, "I can't get started." ”
The so-called talent learns yin and yang, and it doesn't take half a day.
Brother Ning said disdainfully: "Tan Xiao and Lin Yangyi school, that is a key high school, and you will be designated to go to a famous university in the future, you dropped out of junior high school, and you still talk about others, get started?" You do one show a day, and people give seventeen or eighteen shows to tourists a day, can you compare! ”
