Chapter 20: The Strangeness of the Funeral
After Master's persuasion, Fang Yuan had a hint of an epiphany about human death, and felt that there was originally a chaotic place in his brain, but gradually there was a bright light, which was an indescribable feeling, very magical. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The Li family in Xicheng District, J City, has a small family business, but in recent days, they have fallen into a sad but busy atmosphere.
Today is the third day of the death of Li Ming, the only son of the Li family, so he is extremely busy, Li's father and mother are preparing to hold a decent funeral for their son.
However, Li's mother fainted a few times, and she couldn't help, and Li's father's heart was even more uncomfortable.
Refrigerating the body, discussing with relatives and friends, treating funeral matters, arranging the mourning hall, publishing obituaries, and condolence gifts, all of which require Li's father's own participation, make more and more gray hairs on his head these days, and suddenly look like he is ten years old.
Li's mother collapsed several times during this period, her eyes were red and swollen, and Li's father was distressed and couldn't count on it, so he endured his grief and arranged for his son's funeral.
Fang Yuan also met with a few brothers in the dormitory for the first time today after graduation, saying that there were few, but in fact, there were only two of them now, and the three of them met and hugged each other, just lightly talking about everyone's recent situation.
Due to the death of the fourth child, the four of them did not show the joy of reuniting for the first time, but a sad mood.
Fang Yuan looked at the two carefully, the eldest Zhao Taining was still so strong, he didn't use this muscle to hook up with the little girl when he was in college, and the third Han Fei was still so polite.
When the three of them were talking, Zhao Taining and Han Fei felt that Fang Yuan had changed a little bit, he was more handsome than before, and he was more sunny when he took off his glasses, Han Fei said that if he was a little girl, he would have to chase Fang Yuan, but he didn't attract the same laughter as when he was in college.
Fang Yuan and the three of them entered the Li family, and saw that the arrangement was a simple and grand Western-style funeral, the solemn arrangement of the mourning hall, the yellow flower plaque hung on the wall directly behind, the flower plaque was arranged in front of the spiritual table, and the black and white portrait of the fourth child was hung in Zhuohou, and there were some tributes on the spiritual table, incense candles, incense burners, etc., and some wreaths were placed on both sides of the spiritual table.
Looking at Li Ming in the portrait, Fang Yuan and the others sighed, and their eyes were a little teary-eyed.
After registering their names, several people received a paper flower and pinned it to their clothes, and wreaths were placed in the hall one after another.
After the three of them finished registering, they stood in the side hall and waited, Fang Yuan looked around a few times, but did not see other college classmates, it seemed that Father Li only invited a few people from the dormitory to come.
After waiting in the side hall for a while, the crowd entered the hall, where a person who looked like a host announced the beginning of the funeral, followed by mourning music to pay tribute to the statue for three minutes.
It's just that Fang Yuan seemed to have seen something amazing, and there was a "person" who seemed to be Li Ming's coffin in front of him who stood up.
Fang Yuan was shocked and wanted to greet everyone, but none of the people seemed to notice anything abnormal, looking at the people who were mourning at this time, Fang Yuan suddenly thought, could it be related to his Heavenly Eye.
Fang Yuan heard his master say that people have three souls, and after a person dies, the three souls will leave the body one after another, and the three souls will leave completely, so that people can be regarded as truly dead, and if the three souls do not gather, and the soul of a person is incomplete, he cannot be reincarnated.
Due to all kinds of accidents that leave the human body, the three souls who cannot be gathered will become lonely souls and wild ghosts, and those who still have three souls in the corpse will become zombies.
Fang Yuan always thought that it was the master bragging, how could there be any soul, it was just a little trick that the master used to scare himself, but now he saw the third soul of the fourth child.
The third soul of the fourth child slowly floated up from the coffin, gradually drifting away from the coffin, then looked at the coffin, turned his head and disappeared into Fang Yuan's field of vision.
Fang Yuan wanted to call Li Ming, and he also wanted to chase Li Ming's soul, but he was helpless, he was afraid that no one would believe him, and he would be disrespectful to the deceased.
The moment Li Ming's soul turned his face just now, Fang Yuan and that soul looked at each other, and this moment made Fang Yuan feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave, making Fang Yuan feel cold.
What kind of look was that, with a hint of resentment in despair, this look made Fang Yuan have a thought, the death of the fourth child was not ordinary.
As the mourning music was played, the host began to read the eulogy, Zhao Taining and Han Fei looked at Fang Yuan with dull eyes, and pulled Fang Yuan with their hands: "Fang Yuan, what's wrong with you?"
When the two of them touched Fang Yuan's arm, they felt very cold, like ice cubes, and they didn't know what happened to Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan came back to his senses and said, "I'm fine. ā
After the eulogy was read, Father Li began to speak, choked up several times, it was sad, after the speech, everyone began to look at the body, Fang Yuan did not go, he was a little afraid to look, just walked towards the parents of the fourth child.
"Uncle and aunt, mourning. Fang Yuan said to the two.
Since he had been to Li Ming's house in college before, Li's father and mother naturally recognized Fang Yuan and expressed their gratitude for Fang Yuan's arrival.
Fang Yuan directly asked what he was thinking, and asked how Li Ming died?
Li's father and mother said that they were not very clear, the specific legal process is still in progress, and the police station said that they were beaten to death by the crowd, but no one admitted it.
The law does not blame the public, and seeing that the people in the police station are about to be released, Li's father said that he will investigate to the end and will not let his son's murderer go unpunished.
Fang Yuan asked Li Ming what he was doing, he had asked Li Ming before, but he didn't get an answer, and he was a little curious. Father Li was a little embarrassed, but he still said it under Fang Yuan's questioning, saying that he was engaged in some usury work, and they didn't know the specifics, and asked Fang Yuan not to say it, after all, it was not a bright profession.
Fang Yuan nodded in agreement, and he wouldn't talk nonsense.
Fang Yuan returned to Zhao Taining and Han Fei's side, and the two asked Fang Yuan what he had talked about with his uncle and aunt, and Fang Yuan just replied that he had comforted his uncle and aunt.
Thinking about it carefully, this was not the first time Fang Yuan had heard the word "usury", Lin Xue was threatened on the street because he had borrowed usury, so Fang Yuan bumped into it, and Fang Yuan faintly felt that there was a connection between the two.
Then Li Ming's coffin was stapled, someone pushed it out, and sent it to the hearse to be cremated, and the funeral ended.
Zhao Taining and Han Fei both wanted to get together with Fang Yuan, and the three of them finally met, but helplessly, Zhao Taining received a call from the company saying that he was in a hurry, and he had no choice but to go back, leaving only Han Fei and Fang Yuan who also lost their interest in the party, and the two said that they would get together again in the future, and they would leave separately.
When he arrived at the foot of Baishi Mountain, Fang Yuan called his master, and he called several times to get through, asking his master to come to the foot of the mountain to pick him up, and now Fang Yuan thought about it, he quickly broke the master's maze array, and also saved the trouble of going back and forth to the mountain.
That's right, the master also bought a mobile phone, which was still a very good banana brand mobile phone, which made Fang Yuan very envious, looking at the rice brand mobile phone in his hand, thinking that when the master paid his salary, he would also change it.
It's just that the master, who changed his mobile phone, began to annoy Fang Yuan all day long, asking him to teach him how to use it, but the master is really stupid, he can't learn it even if he learns to write well, Fang Yuan is okay to mock the master.
"Good apprentice, you're back. After a while, Master's voice came.
Xuanxu Lao Dao looked at Fang Yuan and felt that something was wrong, and quickly touched Fang Yuan's hand, feeling cold.
Fang Yuan hurriedly withdrew his hand and looked at the master with a strange look, he had suspected that the master was gay earlier.
"Apprentice, did you see anything unclean?" asked Xuanxu Laodao quickly.
Fang Yuan told Master about attending the funeral.
"It's strange, after death, although the time for the three souls to leave the human body is not the same, but they will not leave so late, I'm afraid that your friend has a grudge before he dies. ā
After Xuanxu Lao Dao finished speaking, his hands rubbed together a few times, and he slapped the palm of his right hand against Fang Yuan's head.
Fang Yuan immediately felt that his body was much colder, and he thought of something: "Master, you won't wipe my heavenly eye, right?" ā
"That's not true, it's just that except for the filth in your body, it stands to reason that the effect of your heavenly eye should have disappeared long ago, how can it still exist, it's really weird. ā
Xuanxu Lao Dao felt that there was something abnormal, but when he thought of something abnormal about his abnormal apprentice, he didn't feel abnormal.
"That's fine. Fang Yuan stroked his forehead.
I still have to rely on this heavenly eye to break through the maze array, but it can't disappear so quickly.
"Apprentice, the master has set up an exorcism formation at your Mud Pill Palace, and you won't be afraid of that filthy thing for a while. Xuanxu Lao Dao explained that he also hoped that the apprentice could plant the Dao root as soon as possible, so that he could resist these filthy things, and he would not have to be so troublesome.
"Let's go, follow the apprentice, and continue to take you to make money tomorrow for the teacher. ā
