From Jiu Shu's world

Chapter 125 Chapter 120 Five

The Liu family's funeral is coming to an end. Because Liu Jingxuan's funeral is fierce, and the three members of Liu's family don't want the news of her daughter's death, causing the city to be full of wind and rain, the time for the funeral is set in the early morning, quietly going at night, and returning quietly at dawn.

The funeral etiquette varies from place to place, some are complicated and some are simple, but generally speaking, it actually means the same thing, send them to welcome you back, and put them in peace.

It is easy to understand that sending to is to send the dead away to their burial place.

This welcome has two meanings, one is to pass the ceremony, so that the dead soul can remember the way home, so that the first seven and the Zhongyuan Festival can return home, and they will not be wandering ghosts.

Second, for the mourners, keep in mind the taboo of mourning, and don't offend the dead, so as not to be taken by the dead for burial, or to bring back any unclean things in this cemetery.

The funeral ceremony in Qinglin Town is not complicated, so Huai Bailiu's handling is also simple.

Huai Bailiu stood in front of the coffin, wearing a robe, and chanted scriptures for salvation.Before him, there were two servants of the Liu family, one on the left, who was responsible for throwing paper money to bribe the wandering ghosts along the way, and the other was throwing a firecracker every once in a while, shaking the whole field as a warning When it comes to funerals, people from the sun should never get close, and people from the yin should not mess with it.

And following Huaibailiu were the three members of the Liu family who helped the spirit. On the way to the funeral, the immediate family members would help the spirit in front of this coffin.

But this is not out of Qinglin Town. To be precise, only Liu Zhengyang and his wife are helping the spirit, and Liu Jingya, as the only junior, needs to send the spirit.

The so-called sending off the spirit means that on the way out of the funeral, the younger generation takes the head and worships, and the coffin is carried over her body three times from home to outside the town, and the deceased is sent to the dead with a big gift.

Generally speaking, the sending of spirits should be done by the younger generation, but Liu Jingxuan has not yet left the court, and she is still young, so where did the younger generation come from, her sister is also willing to be the sender of the spirit.

On the side of the funeral road, incense and lamps for attracting souls have already been placed, and incense and lamps are placed every seven steps until they reach the cemetery, in order to lead the way for the dead.

All the preparations continued, Huai Bailiu looked at the time, and said loudly: "It's time, see off the second lady!"

The eight middle-aged men who were carrying the coffin put their hands on the wood that carried the coffin. The leading man said loudly, "Go up."

The eight people worked hard together, the coffin was lifted on the shoulders, and the funeral procession began to move like this.

The suona sounded, and the coffin-carrying team left Liu's house.Huai Bailiu said in a loud voice: "A buckle."

Liu Jingya hugged her head with her hands, then knelt down on her knees, bowed her whole body, and cried out in grief.

The eight people who carried the coffin carried the coffin and let the white coffin pass over Liu Jingya's body, and paper money all over the sky floated across the sky accompanied by the sound of suona.

It was almost half an hour since the Liu family's funeral procession came out of Qinglin Town, and the three prayers for sending the spirit to the soul had also passed. A group of more than 20 people walked slowly from Qinglin Town to the mountain like this.

Qinglin Town was built on Qinglin Mountain. This place with excellent geomantic omen is naturally located on this mountain, so the people of Qinglin Town naturally chose the place of burial in this treasured land of geomantic omen in the middle of the mountain. A member is no exception.

The road into the mountain is not easy, and it is very strenuous, and it is still early in the morning and night, and the eight middle-aged men carrying coffins are not weak, but they are also very tired. Fortunately, there are another eight to replace them. The coffin bearer, otherwise he would not be able to make it to the cemetery.

Among the people, the people who carry the coffin have different names in different places. In some places, they are called generals, and in others they are called Daxian.The men who carry the coffin are generally bold and bold married men, especially the leader who is in charge of the coffin is even more bold and cautious.

The beloved daughter of the Liu family passed away. Naturally, they invited the best coffin-carrying immortal in the local area, so the journey was uneventful until they reached the rugged place at the foot of the mountain. , just to be on the safe side, before going up the mountain, you have to change people first, so he said: "Change people to climb the mountain."

The other eight pallbearers who had been waiting for a long time came over to prepare for the replacement when they heard the order.As soon as they took over the coffin-carrying wood, a cloudy wind blew all around immediately.The wind was not strong, and the coffin-carriers were all brave people, so naturally they would not be frightened, they just thought it was the mountain wind.

But one of them inadvertently glanced in the direction of the bleak wind, and suddenly his back felt cold, and he was so frightened that his soul was about to die, only to see a woman's face appeared in the bushes.He was so frightened that his feet went limp, but he still managed not to drop the coffin, and he shouted: "There is something in the bushes."

Everyone looked over in unison, and saw a beautiful woman in white clothes standing in the bushes not far away, looking straight at them, and then smiled, which made everyone feel scared.

The man carrying the coffin on the left said tremblingly, "She seems to be the daughter of Old Man Li's family."

As soon as he said this, those who knew it felt like, the daughter of Lao Li's family, hasn't she been missing for almost a year?How could it appear here, and a girl's house is so clean in this forest.Everyone is not a fool, and the uneasiness in their hearts is getting stronger.Especially Huai Bailiu, he knew that the thing in front of him was not a living person.

He was about to make a move, but he didn't think of the coffin bearer who found the woman, because he felt uneasy, he looked around, this time he was really scared and left the coffin and ran: "There is a ghost!"

What do you think he saw?The trees around this mountain path are actually covered with white-clothed women like just now. They have empty eyes and smiles at the corners of their mouths. They just hang on the trees like this, following the swaying and swaying branches, but their eyes are still staring straight at the tree. watching them.

As soon as the coffin fell to the ground with a bang, Huai Bailiu secretly thought something was wrong, but it was too late. Even though the coffin bearer was bold, he didn't dare to deal with this "female ghost" who was full of trees. Sixteen people gathered together Even the two people who were carrying the paper money ran away, leaving only the three members of the Liu family and the old guy Huai Bailiu.

Huai Bailiu was anxious, it is said that the coffin weighs a thousand catties when it falls to the ground, and one of the general taboos in coffin lifting is that it cannot be landed on the way.It is unlucky to land one on the way, and the second is to make things inside unhappy.

Once it lands, the master who is in charge of the ritual needs to do it. First, ask if the dead person intends to be buried here. If not, then he has to make great efforts to lift the coffin and send it to the cemetery.

But at this time, lifting the coffin is not easy. If you drop someone’s coffin, they will naturally be unhappy. How can it be so easy for you to lift it? At this time, the coffin will become very heavy, and there are no more than a dozen immortals. Don’t even think about lifting it Woke up.

But this situation is not bad for now. You must know that the second young lady Huai Bailiu is going to bury has been skinned, and she is full of resentment. Originally, Huai Bailiu made a coffin for her to calm down , Slowly dispel the resentment.It's good now, I don't know what happened when the coffin fell.

And what's more serious is that all the white-clothed female corpses in this forest floated to one side, making way for them. "Tat Tat Tat" footsteps sounded, and a person came out from the shadow behind the tree, he said with a smile, "Old Huaitou, you are actually getting old."
