My master is invincible

Chapter 334 Nine Coffins (57)

Thinking of this, I glanced at He Jianhua. He lowered his head and said nothing, as if he was thinking about something. Seeing me looking at him, he smiled awkwardly.

When Master Jiang saw this situation, he seemed afraid that I would lose his temper. He patted me on the shoulder and said, "Junior brother, the funeral of the old hero is the most important thing now. Please let go of personal grievances first."

I nodded, glared at He Jianhua, then changed the topic to the funeral of the old hero, pointed to the coffins around me, and asked Master Jiang suspiciously: "So many coffins are placed outside the ancestral hall, no one stopped them?"

Master Jiang was stunned for a moment, before he had time to speak, Luo Dajun beside him spoke, speaking a lot of words in a Hebei accent.

He spoke Hebei dialect, which I couldn't understand at all, so I looked at Luo Dajun suspiciously, then at Master Jiang, and said, "Brother, I'm going to trouble you again."

Master Jiang came over knowingly, and he told me that what Luo Dajun meant was that he had stopped it, but eight of the nine sons of the Lu family agreed to place the coffin at the entrance of the ancestral hall, and outsiders were also powerless and could not stop it.

Hearing this, I thought for a while, what Luo Dajun said was not unreasonable, the nine sons of the Lu family, rich and powerful, would definitely not be so particular about funeral etiquette.What's more, what they care about is not the funeral, but the priority of the old hero.

Later, Luo Dajun also told me that the funeral of the old hero is normal these days, but there is only one thing, even now, the opinions still cannot be unified.

I asked him what was the matter, and he said that before opening the road, he needed to write an 'open letter', and the nine sons of the Lu family were arguing over this matter.

When I heard this, I knew very clearly that the so-called Kaishu is a name here in Hebei, and it is called "祭白" (壮: fu) in our side, commonly known as "责首" or "Sangbang". It is an annals describing the date of birth and death of the deceased.

This kind of "open book" is usually written on quarto or octavo white paper, and then "Four Signs of Avoidance" is marked on it, and the four signs of taboo are the four zodiac signs that conflict with the deceased. On the left side of the gate of the ancestral hall, the deceased is posted on the right side if the woman is a female.

Of course, the nine sons of the Lu family were definitely not arguing about this, but because a person's name needs to be signed at the end of the "open book". According to traditional customs, this name should be the eldest son of the deceased. To put it bluntly, it is Funeral home.

The reason why the nine sons of the Lu family fought for this thing was probably because they were afraid that the name on the "open book" would make people mistakenly think that person was the master, and thus pass on the aura of the old hero to that person.

Sometimes, I have to say, people's hearts are really unpredictable.If it weren't for the aura of the old hero, I believe that this "opening book" would definitely not have so many people fighting for it, and maybe no one would care about it.

"Isn't there an old lady in charge of the old hero's funeral? She doesn't care?" I said doubtfully.

Luo Dajun sighed and said: "In our Hebei side, there is a saying that the eldest son is in charge of the family when the father is absent. Therefore, Mrs. Lu has no right or control over the matter of 'opening the book'. But, Lu Qiusheng, the ninth son of the Lu family, is the richest in the Lu family, and he is not convinced by the eldest son, so the brothers hold their own words." (Note: These words are all translated by Master Jiang)
I nodded, it was exactly the same as when I was fighting for the host of the funeral.However, "opening the book" is different from competing for the host of the funeral. It is very particular about the ceremony. The name should be written, and the name should be written. It must not be fooled. Once the wrong name is written, the whole funeral will be wasted.

I suddenly thought of Lu Yaodong, the seventh son of the Lu family. He seemed to be very filial to the old hero. Could it be that he also wanted to write his name in the "open book"?

I asked out the doubts in my heart.

Luo Dajun smiled, and said, "Boss Lu has withdrawn from the competition, and he is dedicated to staying by Mrs. Lu's side, and he doesn't care about this matter."

I was taken aback, Lu Yaodong has withdrawn from the competition of 'opening the book'?This was unexpected. I remember hearing Master Jiang say that Lu Yaodong was very filial to the old hero when he first came to Quyang.

However, they are also very interested in competing for the host of the funeral.Unexpectedly, this time they would voluntarily withdraw from the 'open book' dispute.

So, I asked him why.

Luo Dajun glanced at me, took out a cigarette, gave me one, and said, "I heard that it has something to do with Mrs. Lu, but I don't know the specific reason."

Hearing what he said, I didn't ask further questions.After all, he is only in charge of the funeral, and many things are unclear. If you want to know the specific things, you can only ask the old lady.

Afterwards, we chatted for a while. As for who wrote the "open book", we couldn't get involved, so we could only wait for news.

Chatting, chatting, Luo Dajun inadvertently mentioned the remains of the old hero.

I immediately asked him, "Which coffin is the body of the old hero?"

He shook his head and said, "After you left with Mr. Jiang, Mrs. Lu invited a platoon of soldiers to surround the house where the old hero died. Nine coffins were carried in and carried out in turn. The old hero's It is not known where the remains were placed."

"You didn't open the coffin to see?" I asked suspiciously.

He didn't speak, and pointed to the coffin beside him.

I followed his fingers to see that the coffin had already been riveted with life nails, and I couldn't see what was going on inside. I exclaimed and said, "Rivet the life nails in advance?"

He nodded and said: "Those masters of metaphysics did a Taoist deed, saying that they can rivet the longevity nails in advance."

Hearing this, I didn't say anything, just asked him what I planned to do for tomorrow's funeral.

He said that after the person who 'opened the book' is determined, the nine funerals may be held at the same time, and the nine sons of the Lu family will each receive relatives and friends who come to the funeral.

Hearing this, I felt a little angry. The old hero was famous for his life, but he didn't expect the funeral to be such a nonsense.Since the beginning of Pangu, it has never been heard that one person held several funerals. The nine sons of the Lu family really did everything they could for the so-called priority.

What makes me depressed is why they didn't come forward to stop this farce, but let the nine sons of the Lu family mess around here instead.

"Xiao Jiu, just finish the funeral. Don't think about other things. Some things are beyond our control." Master Jiang, who has been acting as an interpreter, patted me on the shoulder and said aloud.

I suppressed the anger in my heart, nodded, and looked up at the other coffins. Those coffins were nailed to death in the same way. There were some people standing in front of each coffin, discussing matters.

Among those people, I saw Master Shuiyun standing beside the second coffin, talking to a blind man.

I focused on the ninth coffin. In front of that coffin, there were several young people around. What made me angry was that You Shusong was among them.

ps: It will be added tomorrow, and the daily update time will be changed to ten o'clock in the evening.
