Chapter 357: Selling Yourself to Bury Your Father (Asking for Points, Pushing and Receiving Rewards)

Don't fall asleep or not fall down?

How can it be?

The locust tree spirit glanced at Dong Gongyuan faintly.

Didn't say anything.

After all, the locust tree spirit still needs to be cultivated now.

Only then can the results of cultivation be consolidated.

In this way, Dong Gong Zhiyuan, accompanied by the locust tree spirit (of course this Dong Gong Zhiyuan did not know), kept vigil for the body of his father Dong Gong Zhishi under the big locust tree for one night.

The so-called vigil is a folk custom, just like the ancient bride had to sit in a sedan chair and share the New Year's money. Then, it is a kind of memorial for the living to the deceased loved ones. Because the living person thinks that although his relatives are dead, his soul remains in the world and does not go to the underworld (the underworld is our paradise in China, and people will go there after they die. )。 The soul is also very nostalgic for his living relatives, and it does not want to go to the underworld alone, so it will return to its original home before going to the underworld. The living are afraid that the soul will get lost on the way home, so they will light a lamp and place it next to the body of the deceased person (next to explain that ancient people would put the body of their deceased loved one in the living room of the home instead of the morgue of the funeral home; there was also the problem of the ancient people lighting oil lamps instead of electric lights). The living were afraid that the lights would go out and that their deceased relatives would not be able to find a home, so they sat all night in the room where the bodies were kept, making sure that the guiding lamp was always burning. Therefore, it is called "vigil", and the vigil is also called a vigil. The ancients believed that a person should return home for a visit within three days of death, so the children waited in the mourning hall for his soul to return. Friends and relatives are with you every night. Until the body is buried in the coffin. Until now, the wakes are relatives gathering together to mourn the deceased and express their feelings of remembrance. After death, the body should stay at home for a while, which is called "stopping the spirit". At night, the family members will guard them to fulfill their filial piety. Volume 13 of "The Surprise of the First Moment": "The two daughters-in-law are not vigilant. Shen Congwen's "Border City" 20: "The remaining few people have to stay in front of the coffin overnight according to the rules." "The vigil is basically limited to three days, and there are those who keep vigil in the mourning shed and mourning hall in the house, and there are also those who rent the hall in the funeral parlor to keep vigil. In the suburbs, there is still a move of 'shelving the three dynasties'. In "The Book of Rites: Asking for Funerals", there is a "three-day burial." In order to survive also. Three days without birth. Nor is it raw. The heart of filial piety has also declined. The plan of the family, the clothes and utensils have also been completed. Relatives can also be far away. Therefore, the saints made a decision for it, and the ritual system was made for three days'. Therefore, the three-night vigil is not entirely out of superstition. It's three days. All the preparations are complete. Relatives and friends from afar can also arrive, which is enough to do their best.

However, Dong Gong was accompanied by the acacia tree spirit...... When he kept a vigil for the body of his father, Dong Gong, under the big locust tree, for one night. There was no light.

After all, Dong Gong is not familiar with his life, and it is night again, so he really doesn't know where to find an oil lamp, right?

I don't know if it's a coincidence, there was a bright moon in the sky that night.

Therefore, Dong Gong Yuan was accompanied by the locust tree spirit (of course this Dong Gong Yuan didn't know...... When he kept a night vigil under the big locust tree for the body of his father, Dong Gong, there was no light and nothing.

After all, Dong Gong's body is not inside the house, but outside the house, isn't it?

On the second day, Dong Gong Yuan looked at the body of his father Dong Gong and was at a loss for a while.

After all, Dong Gongyuan is only a child of twelve or thirteen years old.

A child of twelve or thirteen years old may know a lot about the children of poor families. As the saying goes, "the children of poor families are in charge of the house early". Because children have been oppressed by the environment since childhood, they have a strong sense of responsibility in their hearts, and they know how to take responsibility for themselves, so they have to be sensible and naturally know how to help their parents.

But Dong Gong is a son of a scholarly family. The so-called scholarly family refers to the family where the elders have studied and achieved fame. The ancients comprehended the elegance of books to readers, so they called it "scholarly fragrance". The so-called scholarly fragrance - in ancient times, there were generally more books. In order to effectively prevent books from mildew, insect moths and other problems, the ancients used common camphor wood to make bookcases to store books, or used to make furniture and put the remaining camphor wood chips in the gap between a large number of books, and there is also a moth-proof method, which is to put a kind of traditional Chinese medicine called rue herb. Whether it's rue herbs or camphor chips, the purpose of putting these is to keep the moths away when they smell it, and it will make the book very well protected. After placing rue herbs and camphor wood chips, with the accumulation of time, when the owner of the book opens the bookcase and flips through the books, there is a smell of aroma, which also forms the nerd concept of "bookish".

Moreover, in ancient times, the scholarly sect was still a part-time shaman. A priest, also called a priest, is a person who presides over a ritual in order to worship or revere the god he believes in, and serves as an auxiliary or chief priest on the altar during religious or sacrificial activities. Depending on the faith, priests were considered to have different degrees of sacredness. Priesthood is of irreplaceable importance, both in practical social functions and on a mystical religious level. Sacrifice is a part of the Chinese rituals, is the main part of the Confucian rituals, the rites have five classics, no more important than the sacrifice, is to serve the gods to bless. The objects of worship are divided into three categories: gods, earthly gods, and human ghosts. The gods are worshipped, the earth is sacrificed, and the temple is enjoyed. The concept of sacrifice records the Confucianism "Zhou Li", "Book of Rites" and "Book of Rites, Justice", "University Yanyi Supplement" and other books to explain. In ancient China, "the gods are not of the same kind, and the people are not of the same race", and there was a strict hierarchy of sacrifices. The gods and the earth are sacrificed by the Son of Heaven. The princes and doctors sacrifice to the mountains and rivers. Shishu can only sacrifice to their ancestors and the god of the stove. Qingming Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, and Double Ninth Festival are ancestral worship days.

Therefore, as long as it is an era of war and chaos, the income of the scholarly family is relatively rich. Of course, it cannot be compared with the rich businessmen, but it can be divided into a rich family.

Dong Gong was sad when he looked at the body of his father Dong Gong.

The body of Dong Gong must be buried in the ground. Burial in the earth means burial in the old days, and when a person is buried in the soil after death, the deceased will have his place, and the family will feel at ease.

However, Dong Gong is not familiar with the place of life, so where is the body of Dong Gong buried in the matter?

casually bury the body of Dong Gong's affair, in case the owner of the land does not agree, the body of Dong Gong's affair can be completely dug up.

Let Dong Gong's body be exposed in the wild, Dong Gong's fate is not only not a filial son, but a rebel.

Can Dong Gong Yan Yuan casually bury the body of Dong Gong Yan?

Of course not.

And even if the owner of the land is kind and does not let the body of Dong Gong hide the body in the wild, but burying the body of Dong Gong always needs to dig a pit, right?

Dig a pit to bury people, how can you do it without tools.

But where are the tools for digging a pit in which a man is buried?

What's more, even if there is a tool given to Dong Gong to dig a pit to bury people, it still can't make Dong Gong's body complete.

After all, Dong Gong Yuan is a person who has not worked, and if he completely asks Dong Gong Yuan to dig a pit to bury people, he doesn't know that it will be the Year of the Monkey.

When waiting to dig the pit to bury the person, the body of Dong Gong was already unable to be buried in the ground.

The remains of Dong Gong's affairs have been completely corrupted, how can they be buried in peace?

All in all, relying on Dong Gong's fate, it is difficult to ...... Dong Gong's body Hard!

What to do?

Dong Gong Yuan looked at the body of his father Dong Gong and began to be in a daze.

After a while, Dong Gong stopped being in a daze.

Dong Gongyuan took out a white dress from the package.

Then, Dong Gong bit his finger.

Next, Dong Gong used the blood of his fingers to find the white dress in the package, and the four bloody characters "Sell yourself to bury your father" were written on it.

After the white dress found in the package was written with the four bloody characters "Selling Yourself to Bury Your Father", Dong Gongyuan broke off a small branch from the big locust tree.

Dong Gong Yuan hung the white veil with the four bloody characters of "Selling Himself to Bury His Father" on it on the branch of the locust tree, and Dong Gong Yuan was holding the branch of the white locust tree with the four bloody characters of "Selling His Body to Bury His Father" on it, and knelt under the big locust tree, waiting for a well-wisher to put the body of Dong Gong into the ground.

As for Dong Gong's secrets, Dong Gong thinks that if you enter the soil for peace, you will enter the soil for peace......, right?
