Chapter 16 Peak Loop Transformation Bureau
At this moment, whether it was Ning Xiaoxiang in the crowd, the Taoist of Chongxuan, or the prince Yimo who was close to the window, they all cast their eyes.
A group of people wearing white linen hats, white linen clothes, and thick hemp ropes tied around their waists carried a black willow coffin, crying and singing.
Around the coffin, they lined up a huge guard of honor, holding up all kinds of paper-tied colored houses, chariots and horses, mountains of gold and silver, boys and girls...... On both sides of the procession are the music troupes of funeral recitals, blowing the sad and piercing suona flute, playing deafening gongs, drums and cymbals, and singing the funeral song of filial piety: "Burn paper money on the gate, and go westward on the surging road." The filial son was sad and wept and worshipped, and the gates of hell were open to good people. The ancients ...... on the second gate"
A Tianluo Wei was surprised and said, "My lord, I am in a hurry to go out of the funeral." ”
"Good means. Ning Xiaoxiang smiled slightly, "This group of rangers is quite a set, and we can make a difference now." ”
The funeral procession kept coming, planting road flags along the way, and throwing paper money in the air.
"Dad, my hard-working father! You died when you were three years old, and my grandmother pulled you up with a handful of and urine, and you were sick since you were a child, blind in a pair of eyes, and you had to feed six younger siblings...... My poor father, you didn't even eat a bite of sweetness, so you left your children and grandchildren and left, how can you live if you call me grandma!" A dark-skinned, linen-clad man with filial piety held a mourning stick in one hand and the cable of the coffin in the other, and howled and shouted at the top of his voice.
A bunch of women in the back were supporting an old mother-in-law, whose eyes were sunk in wrinkles, and they couldn't open them, and their hands and feet were trembling all the time, as if they would fall down at any time.
"Let one go, let one go!" "Bad luck, how can someone pick this time to go out of the funeral!" "What is this going on! Get out of the way, let's go first!" The crowd in the street pointed fingers and shouts. The two sides collided head-on on the Qingxi Bridge, and the scene suddenly became a little chaotic.
The funeral procession ignored each other, and the snowflake-like paper money was spilled out without any scruples, falling on the crowd on the street, causing a lot of abuse.
Neither side refused to give in, and pushed each other, and the people carrying the coffin were also squeezed around, and the coffin swayed back and forth.
"Xiuqing, hurry up. Come and see, is this made by those scoundrels?" Yimo had already stood up and beckoned Sun Xiu to hurry up and speak.
"Your Highness, that's exactly the case. Sun Xiu got up and said respectfully: "Although this group of rangers has not read any books, they have some unpredictable market methods, and their loyalty to His Royal Highness and the imperial court is beyond doubt. ”
"Wonderful, wonderful! Filial piety comes first, even if it is a Taoist sect, you must obediently abide by the filial piety of the famous religion, how can you conflict with the people who go out for funerals?" Yi Mo stroked his palms and laughed, feeling extremely comfortable. In recent years, although the Taoism is powerful and the famous religion is declining, the "loyalty" and "filial piety" advocated by the famous religion have long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and are regarded as the benchmark of the world.
The flow of people on both sides was staggered together, scolding and pushing, and it was difficult to solve. The Taoist priests of the Chongxuan Department looked at each other, and they didn't know what to do for a while.
"Bang!" There was a loud bang, and the person carrying the coffin was knocked down, and the black wooden coffin fell to the ground with a bang, and the thin coffin board was immediately torn apart, and the body of the blind man wearing a shroud rolled out.
"Daddy!" a group of filial sons and grandsons rushed up, letting out heart-rending cries, and others shouted and cursed, and the scene became more and more chaotic.
"You don't even let go of the dead!" A lady in filial piety quickly grabbed a son of a family, and screamed with red ears and red ears, "You want to wear filial piety for my father, kowtow and make amends!"
"My father! The sky is above, pity you for your old and miserable life, and you will be trampled on after you die!" The funeral cadres fell to the ground crying, rolling one after another, sprinkling, shouting grievances, and calling officials, the scene was so noisy that the flow of people in the street was completely blocked, and they could no longer move forward.
The Taoist priest of the Chongxuan Department saw that something was wrong, and quietly pinched the magic trick and secretly cast the ecstasy spell in an attempt to disperse the funeral procession. But a group of filial sons and grandsons all secretly hide the talismans of their minds and minds, crying when they should cry, and making trouble when they should make trouble, and they are not swayed by ecstasy.
"Oh, the old lady can't do it! At some point, the old mother-in-law had fallen to the ground, her limbs twitched slightly, and the mourners let out a ghostly cry and wolf howl, and the boiling noise resounded through the street.
Seeing the chaos below, Yimo couldn't help but feel overjoyed, and patted Sun Xiu's shoulder: "Xiuqing, you really have a heart." Those - rangers, are quite clever. ”
Sun Xiu bowed and said: "It's all thanks to His Highness's wisdom and sages, magnanimity, and the rangers admire it, and they are willing to go to the soup for the Ming Lord, and they will not give up." ”
Yimo glanced at Sun Xiu appreciatively: "I know in my heart that these are all your credits. Sit down, drink tea with Gu, and taste the bitterness of Qin Huai's children's lovesickness, hahaha!"
"Thank you, Your Highness, for your seat. Sun Xiu first knelt down to thank him, and then Shi Shiran sat down, and said gratefully: "Xiu was born from a humble background, and I don't know which life is the blessing that I have cultivated, and I am fortunate to sit with His Royal Highness and glorify my ancestors." Even if Xiu dies today, he will not live up to this life. He couldn't help but have red eyes and tears.
"Xiuqing, Lone knows your loyalty. Yi Mo felt more and more pity in his heart, and felt a little sorry for beating Sun Xiu before. He took out a dragon and phoenix incense towel from his sleeve and handed it to Sun Xiu, "Don't be sad, wait until this matter is completely resolved, and you will definitely be rewarded by Lone!"
Sun Xiu hurriedly left his seat to thank him, and reported: "Your Highness, except for the Qingxi Bridge section, the rest of the main roads are also well arranged. Today, a total of four households went out for funerals and two families married their wives to welcome their relatives, which will definitely block Jiankang City tightly, so that those people who are parading the streets and the bulls of the Chongxuan Department have nothing to do. ”
Yi Mo laughed loudly: "Great, come, let's see the liveliness of Jiankang City!" He took off the blue and purple unicorn jade pendant tied around his waist, the jade pendant was inlaid with gold and beads, and the dense and mysterious patterns were carved.
He turned the night pearl in the unicorn's eyes, and a beam of strange light spat out of the unicorn's mouth and cast it on the snow-white wall. The light and shadow floated, the colors jumped layer by layer, Yimo shook the blue and purple unicorn jade pendant, and the various scenes of Jiankang City were gradually revealed, which were clearly reflected on the wall one by one.
On the East Gate Bridge, a group of blowing and beating send-off processions and the crowd on the street were in a lot of trouble, and the bride sat on the ground with a red hijab, hugging and crying with the groom......
In front of the Ximing Gate, the funeral procession fought with the people on the street, and the soldiers under the captain of Sili took the opportunity to dispatch......
In the following days, the red and white things in Jiankang City continued one after another.
And some people who are parading the streets, or the door is full of smelly dung, or the elderly at home have broken their legs inexplicably, and the baby is lost...... After a few days of such commotion, the craze for street parades gradually subsided.
Later, a rich man celebrated the birthday of his 80-year-old mother, and invited the most famous opera troupe in Kyoto, "Hanamantang", to perform for free for eight days at the Sanqiao Fence Gate in the east of the city, attracting people to rush to watch. There is also a woman in a family who made peace with the fox spirit in the middle of the night while her husband was out looking for pleasure, but was broken by an old widower who secretly came to find her mother-in-law, and was forced to have a foursome, which became the hottest topic in the teahouse and wine shop......
Except for Ji Kang, Xie Xuan and others who are still supporting, most people no longer pay attention to Yuan An in the edict.
