Chapter 587: Wearing linen and filial piety to get out of the funeral
Saying that, when the pine and cypress were chatting, suddenly a gong sounded outside the shop, and then they ran out of the house, only to see a man in black, flying up to the roof, jumping three times and disappearing in front of him.
After instructing the disciples of the Liuye Sect, Songbai turned around and left the wing of the west courtyard and walked towards the front of the shop.
I saw that the night was dark, lanterns were hung everywhere on the street, and Xu Banxian was dozing on his stomach on the counter, as if nothing had happened just now.
The pine and cypress walked out of this door, only to see the Taoist priests chanting the scriptures and beating the gong, and the guy next to him may also be tired, and he has long been lying on the table, even if the cold wind blows, he doesn't notice it at all!
"What's wrong? Didn't you see something just now? Why is this all as calm as ever, could it be that you stayed up too long and your eyes were dazzled just now?" Liu Meiyan's voice came from behind him, standing beside him and saying.
"Maybe! Maybe it's too grassy and woody, let's go back first! This Qinwang's army entered the city, but the inner city was shrouded in a shadow, maybe it was just my illusion?" Songbai rubbed his eyes, and indeed a little sleepy attacked, so he turned around and went back to the west courtyard wing.
In the early morning three days later, a burst of "crackling" firecrackers woke the pine and cypress from their sleep, only to hear the knocking outside, so it was not lively!
"Why is this so lively? Shouldn't this Zheng butcher's old man be buried? Let's go out and have a look?" Liu Meiyan patted Songbai's shoulder and walked towards the shop in front of him.
Songbai turned his head and saw Liu Xiangbei, who was lying on this bed, and his face had recovered his blood color, so he was very relieved in his heart, nodded and motioned to this Liuyemen disciple, and walked towards the outside of the store to see the excitement.
I saw that this Zheng butcher was Zhang Luo, selling herself to bury her father, and the woman was crying for a while, and the guy next to him hurriedly came forward and helped him up, with a wicked smile on his face.
"Go, go, go, get out of the way, this is Lao Tzu's woman, if you dare to make a bad idea, be careful that I pick your skin?"
"Lady don't have to be too sad, no one has died in this life since ancient times, don't be angry with your body and bones, I will be heartbroken when the time comes!" Butcher Zheng supported the woman and walked towards the front of the spirit.
Songbai followed behind Liu Meiyan, and saw that in the crowd, a young man wearing a hat withdrew from the crowd and went to the remote alley behind.
I saw this young man with a hat, looking left and right at no one, so he came behind the man in black, bent down and clenched his fists, and said: "My lord, according to your orders, it has been going smoothly now, and I believe that when the three branches are in the afternoon, they will definitely arrive as scheduled!"
"This matter is very important, and the old man has no choice but to do it, you go down first! Send people along the way to protect you all the way, and you must not make any mistakes! Do you know?" The man in black waved his right hand, and the young man bowed his head and bent back, then turned and left.
The funeral procession, I don't know when it started, slowly grew, and the women who sold themselves to bury their fathers were introduced one by one, and it turned out that they were all relatives in the countryside, and they rushed to see them off.
"I said Niangzi! I don't look like ordinary people with these relatives, since you are so rich and powerful, why do you want to sell yourself to bury your father like this?" Zheng Butcher looked stunned, this woman's relatives are either big families with brocade clothes and jade belts, or chivalrous disciples with knives, and they are full of doubts in their hearts!
"Hurry up and show my father the way! When the time comes, the little girl will not break her promise and get fat, so you can relax! As for these relatives, they are all old friends who owe my father, and if I had come to help earlier, why would I have ended up in such a field and cheapened your black donkey?" the woman looked down and thought for a moment, then slowly sobbed and replied.
"That's right, that's right, it's a good thing they didn't come to help earlier, otherwise where did I come from, don't cry, come back later, let me take care of you!" said Butcher Zheng as he took the woman into his arms and stroked her head.
I saw this group of people and horses, blowing and blowing out of the east gate of the inner city, this went around half of the city, and Zheng Butcher was also a fog, I don't know why it is!
"This is the arrangement of the Taoist chief, saying that it is to avoid the door god of the West City, and when the time comes, he will not be able to enter the Yin Cao Underworld, and the sun is rising in the East City, and it is said that it is an auspicious picture!" The woman looked at the puzzled look on Butcher Zheng's face, and then explained.
"It's okay, it's okay! I'm a big old man, I don't understand these doorways, as long as the lady likes it, even if I go around at all the city gates, then I don't have an opinion!" Butcher Zheng scratched his head and looked at the woman with a smile.
"Then thank you for your understanding! Another day, we will get married, and the little girl will naturally serve you as much as possible!" The woman's face flushed, and she lowered her head shyly.
Then thank you to the lady, and when the old man is gone, I will spend money to put on the banquet, and then I will carry the sedan chair to marry the lady through the door, so that the people in the inner city can see, Lao Tzu has been in the capital for 20 years, and he is also a person who pleases handouts and speaks. Zheng Butcher's face was arrogant, looking forward to a better future.
"Miss!" The Taoist chief said that there was a tiger guard in front of the east gate, and said that he was in a bad spirit, and he wanted to change the route to the north gate, so please make a decision with your uncle!" the man ran over, bent down and clenched his fists.
"Well, why is this so troublesome! Isn't this just a funeral? Why do you make so many articles, you go and tell that Dao Ye, just say that I am familiar with this east gate, and many people who guard the city know me Zheng Ye, go ahead!" This Zheng butcher was a little unhappy, and hurriedly waved his hand and ordered this guy to go.
"Xiang Gong really knows the guards of the eastern city? The guards of the capital have long been replaced, and when the city was broken, they had already been defeated and fled, what happened? You also know this newcomer?
"This Dongcheng is not the Ministry of War, I used to go to Hu Ye, this time I came and went, basically knew a few, this time King Qin's division came back, it was those old brothers, don't worry! With me here, they will definitely give me a little thin noodles, and they won't embarrass us!" Zheng Butcher patted his chest and boasted.
"So very good! So very good! That little woman will thank you, and when you go to the cave room another day, you will definitely accompany you not to get drunk or sleep!" the woman looked left and right, and kept nodding her head.
I saw this group of people, blowing and blowing to come to the city gate, and was immediately stopped by the officers and soldiers guarding the city, everyone looked at each other, and bowed their heads and was silent for a while.
"Who are you? But knowing that the city gate has been closed, and only allowed to come in and not let out, open it all to see what is hidden in this coffin?"
"Driving" only heard the sound of horses' hooves, and saw a group of men in black riding fast horses, drawing their swords at their waists, and slashing at the heads of the officers and soldiers defending the city......
