My master is invincible

Chapter 997 Colorful Coffin (120)

When I heard Wang Muyang's words, I stopped and turned my head to glance at him. This guy has a lot of ambitions. It is obviously impossible to establish a coffin-bearer system, so I asked him: "What kind of grace? Put the corpse Burning it will be a blessing to the world?"

Wang Muyang didn't seem to expect me to be like this, so he smiled awkwardly, "I'm not discussing customs today, I came here with sincerity this time, and I just want to invite you to join me in establishing the coffin-bearer system. As for customs, Let's talk about it later."

I'm not interested in building a coffin-bearer system, I just want to do my job well.

That Wang Muyang didn't seem to give up, he held me back, "Chen Jiu, let's do it! As long as you agree, I will marry my sister Wen Xue to you!"

"no need!"

I walked towards Shanghe Village without looking back, and Wang Muyang yelled a few times from behind, but I ignored him.

Soon, I returned to Shanghe Village. It was close to nine o’clock. Song Guangliang’s funeral had already begun. Because there were many suona craftsmen, the whole scene was extremely lively. The strange thing was that the villagers in Shanghe Village didn’t come to watch. We, the Eight Immortals and suona craftsmen who are doing funerals, have no outsiders.

Seeing this, I couldn't help speeding up my steps a little bit, and when I came to the main room, You Tianming was leading the team playing the suona. When he saw me coming, he frowned and said softly, "Brother Nine, what's going on here in Shanghe Village?"

I understand what he means, what he said is that no one will come to watch. You must know that a lively funeral requires a large number of people. The large number of people does not mean that there are many people attending the funeral, but that there are many people who come to watch. , The deceased didn't know what he did, no one came from the whole Shanghe Village, even the nearby villages didn't come to watch, what made me most angry was that Song Guangming's brothers didn't come.

Ma De, the deceased was their own brother, and now they are going to attend the funeral, but they are actually hiding at home without opening the door.

I really want to knock on the door and pull them out.

It is said that the funeral is the last time the deceased will meet in the world. If the funeral is held in such a 'cold' manner, how can I feel sorry for Song Qianxi. Before she died, she repeatedly confessed that there must be a lively funeral.

And I asked You Tian to call so many suona craftsmen, the purpose is to make the funeral lively, but all this makes me a little confused.

Seeing that I didn't speak, You Tianming asked me again: "Brother Jiu, what should we do now?"

I thought about it, there are only two ways to get people to watch a funeral, one is that there are many people attending the funeral, and the other is that the funeral process must be impressive!
The first thing to think about is that it’s not enough anymore. After all, there are enough people doing funerals now. The 49 suona craftsmen brought by You Tianming and the Eight Immortals of our Eight Immortals Palace add up to seventy people. It was a top-notch funeral.

Then there is only the second way, the funeral process must be impressive, only in this way can attract people to come and watch.

In this way, the problem arises. The deceased Song Guangliang was quite evil because of the colorful coffin. If it is done according to the observability, there will inevitably be many flashy funeral ceremonies during the funeral process. This is not what I want.For me, the function of funerals is to eliminate the evil spirit and resentment of the deceased, and accumulate blessings for the deceased's next life. There is no need to use those flashy things.

However, in the current situation, it is necessary to get those flashy things.

What?

For a moment, I fell into a dilemma, caught in a dilemma, and You Tianming said again, "Ninth brother, how about I play a hundred birds facing the phoenix?"

"Hundred birds facing the phoenix?" I feel a little familiar, as if I heard You Tianming say this word.

He hummed and explained: "The master is famous for this piece. I have learned a lot from the master these years. Although the effect of playing it is not as good as the master, it should be able to calm down the current scene and attract people. A lot of people came over."

"Really?" I wondered.

He nodded and said: "We suona craftsmen have our own set of rules. Generally speaking, round songs are the main ones. Songs like Bai Niao Chao Feng can only be heard by important people when they have weddings and funerals. , among the folks, Bai Niao Chao Feng is highly evaluated, and they all say that it is the treatment of rich and noble families."

Listening to his explanation, I vaguely remembered that Lao Wang seemed to have mentioned this too, saying that "Hundred Birds Facing the Phoenix" can be used for red and white weddings, especially for funerals. There is still face in a long queue.

The reason is that "Hundred Birds Facing the Phoenix" is really scarce, and suona makers who know how to play "Hundred Birds Facing the Phoenix" are even rarer. In addition, "Hundred Birds Facing the Phoenix" is popular in Shandong, Henan, Hebei and other northern and southern regions. It is really difficult to listen to "Hundred Birds Facing the Phoenix".

"Okay!" I immediately agreed with You Tianming's opinion, and asked him, "Are you sure you can do it?"

He thought for a moment, nodded and said, "No problem."

Afterwards, You Tianming began to arrange the accompaniment of the suona craftsman, and he himself moved a bamboo and rattan chair to the threshold, holding a suona in one hand. The strange thing is that the suona he held this time is different from the instruments held by other suona craftsmen, it seems to be shorter. Some, especially the suona blades, are quite round.

I remember someone said that the so-called "Hundred Birds Facing the Phoenix" is to use a simple suona to play the whistle of a hundred kinds of birds. The tune is grand and powerful, the tone is high and bright, and it has a strong local color.

"Wait!" Seeing that You Tianming was ready, I stopped him immediately. The main reason was that I remembered one thing, that is, the coffin of the deceased was a colorful coffin. The reason is that "Hundred Birds Facing the Phoenix" is suitable for warm and jubilant atmosphere and majestic and magnificent scenes.

But the colorful coffin is gloomy and doesn't like to be lively. The two conflict with each other. In addition, the age of the deceased is not considered a happy funeral. If such a festive tune is suddenly used, I am afraid that it will annoy the deceased. I must first ask the deceased what he means.

So, I immediately walked into the main room, first burned some yellow paper towards the coffin, and then glanced at the deceased in the coffin, and found that the deceased was lying in the coffin very peacefully, without the weird expression before. This made me heave a sigh of relief, bent over to the deceased, roughly explained what had happened, and told the deceased that Song Qianxi hoped that the funeral would be lively.

After saying this, I took out the Yin-Yang hexagram and threw it towards the ground. To my disappointment, the hexagram image showed the Yang hexagram. This hexagram image meant that the deceased was still thinking about certain things in the yang world.

I thought about it, all the things that should be prepared for this funeral have been prepared, and the things that should be explained have also been explained clearly. What is there for the deceased to be dissatisfied with?

Suddenly, I remembered something, wishing I could slap myself a few times, Ma De, how could I forget about that.
