Chapter 10 Going to the funeral

Zhuang Fei smiled and answered Fei Gang: "I haven't learned anything! It's just that a friend of mine has been a Taoist priest for generations. I have experienced a lot with him, so I naturally know a lot about this aspect! My friend

His name is Zhang Zhangling, and his father’s name is Zhang Weidao.”

Fei Gang nodded in understanding and said, "So that's it!" Then he seemed to be listening: "Well! Yeah! Got it! Got it!" as if he was talking to someone.[]

Seeing this scene, Zhuang Fei couldn't help but feel strange. Who was Fei Gang talking to? Was he talking to himself?

Fei Gang said solemnly: "Okay! I understand! But I hope that with your help, I can avoid this disaster! Alas! I hope that everything I tell you will be kept secret. Don't

Let others talk about it, after all, these are the company’s absolute secrets!”

Zhuang Fei didn't understand why Fei Gang said something like this: "Help you avoid this disaster? Brother Fei, I wonder what you mean?" Fei Gang sighed and said, "If it is

Daochang Zhang’s words should be enough! Alas! Actually, do you know?

?The chairman has also been worried about something for a long time, but I don’t know what it is! I just know that we will all have a big disaster! That’s why my wife asked me to find a way to avoid this disaster. Who resigns?

If so, you will definitely bear the brunt of it!"

"Ah?" The more Fei Gang talked, the more Zhuang Fei was confused. Fei Gang seemed to know a lot, but the most mysterious thing was the woman behind him, who seemed to know everything.

After finishing the meal, Fei Gang stood up and said, "Okay! Zhuang Fei, thank you for your hospitality! Thank you very much! You have the opportunity to come to my house as a guest!" Zhuang Fei also stood up and said, "Okay!"

If you don’t ask for it, I won’t bother you then!” The two of them agreed.

Just after Fei Gang took a few steps, he asked the air: "Is this okay, my wife?" Then he saw Fei Gang nodding his head as if he had received an answer. Zhuang Fei was even more surprised, he couldn't do anything.

I didn’t see it. Fei Gang called his wife, where is his wife? It’s really weird!

"Alas!" Fei Gang sighed, and finally turned to look at Zhuang Fei and said to himself: "I hope Zhuang Fei can survive!" Yes! There are still two days! If Zhang Ling and Wei Dao can catch up in these two days,

Come back, no one can hurt Zhuang Fei!

But what Zhuang Fei wanted most now was to find Zhang Ling, so he called Zhang Ling again, but Zhang Ling's cell phone was still turned off. Zhuang Fei called Zhang Ling's home again, but no one answered. And Zhuang Fei called Zhang Ling again.

If you don’t know Zhang Ling’s parents’ phone number, of course you won’t be able to find Zhang Ling.

He called Manxiang to ask, but the most surprising thing was that Manxiang's phone was turned off, just like Zhang Ling. "Ah?" Zhuang Fei was surprised and said, "How come Zhang Ling and Manxiang are two different people?"

Are they all like this? Alas! I obviously have something important to ask them for! But they are not here!"

Zhuangfei was helpless. It seemed that he had to bite the bullet and continue to persevere. There was no other way!

Yes! Where did Zhang Ling go? Manxiang’s mobile phone was out of battery because she really forgot to charge it, but what about Zhang Ling’s? It turned out that Zhang Ling forgot to bring the charger when she went to Longfo Temple, and her mobile phone was not charged.

The electricity is gone, I can't bear it any longer! I can go home anyway! That's what Zhang Ling thought.

But one thing he didn't expect was that Wei Dao received a phone call. This phone call was from a relative. He came to Wei Dao to report his death: "Cousin, my family died without any illness. I will go to Yaochi for a banquet at 8 o'clock today. Please.

Remember to bring all the tools you need to do the work!”

When Wei Dao heard this, he had to go to the funeral all of a sudden. Unable to inform his wife Liyuan, he had to go to the funeral with Zhang Ling. No, Zhuang Fei's matter was left behind. Zhang Ling couldn't rush back, and Zhuang Fei had to go to the funeral together.

He has to wait! But can he wait for Zhang Ling to return? During this period of waiting, he still doesn’t know what is waiting for Zhuang Fei.

Wei Dao was very surprised: "You need to bring all the tools to perform rituals? Why is this? But it is not good to ask people during the mourning period! He will definitely make it clear when he gets to the funeral home! I hope nothing happened.

Only my cousin will die unfortunately!" Wei Dao's heart tightened, and he said: "Okay! I will go with my son immediately!" The other party also hung up the phone.

Without further ado, Wei Dao and Zhang Ling went to a relative's house in the evening and posted an elegiac couplet on the door: "Over ninety years of life, Ci Yun traveled to the west. Yi Fan will remain forever, and kindness will be remembered forever."

This elegiac couplet is affixed with red paper. Normally, when funerals are affixed with white paper, a red couplet is affixed.

Zhang Ling didn't understand, so of course he asked: "Dad, why is the red paper posted instead of white paper?" Wei Dao said: "This is because your cousin is over ninety years old and is said to live a long life.

Moreover, after a blessed person passes away, it must be held as a happy event, which is called a happy funeral. A happy funeral means a full blessing and a full life. Only when the deceased is over eight or ninety years old can it be held as a happy event. Therefore, the paper at the door cannot be white and must be red.

Paper, treat it like a happy event!"

Zhang Ling seemed to understand and said, "So that's it!" Zhang Ling looked at the white flag and said, "What a big soul-calling flag! This is used to call in the soul of the deceased and guide the soul.

From the paradise world!"

Wei Dao nodded and said: "Yes! That's right! What you said is absolutely right! Another point is that since he is a blessed old man, according to the saying, he is blessed. People who come to attend funerals will give bowls in exchange for the bowls of the bereaved family.

, I also hope that my family can be blessed with happiness and longevity. Moreover, the clothes of the blessed old man will be used to cover the pig shed or chicken shed, so as to protect the interest of livestock. This in itself is a kind of wish that is placed on people.

!”

"Oh! That's it!" Zhang Ling seemed to understand, "Then I think the bowls at my cousin's house have to be replaced at once!" Wei Dao laughed: "Haha! Even so, it's a blessing.

"A good deed is a good thing!" Zhang Ling nodded understandingly.

Wei Dao said: "Let's go in and worship!" Wei Dao and Zhang Ling, father and son, went in. They worshiped again and again, kneeling on a rotten mat to worship the deceased. The bereaved families all knelt on both sides.

They lay on the rotten mat and then prayed to the worshipers. From time to time, the cries of the bereaved family could still be heard.

After the worship ceremony, Wei Dao and Zhang Ling went to get the money to show good luck and everything would go well.

When Wei Dao and his son arrived outside, an old man in charge called out: "Cousin Wei Dao!" Wei Dao saw that it was Brother Ming, the bereaved cousin. Because the bereaved family was not allowed to go out for activities, they had to keep a vigil inside, so the activities were arranged

It has to be left to a supervisor to handle it. Generally, the person in charge is someone trusted by close relatives who can handle things efficiently.

Wei Dao then called out: "Brother Ming! Hello!" and greeted him. Brother Ming's people also came and said: "You are finally here! I look forward to you like the stars and the moon! But Pan Pan

I've been waiting for you for a long time!" At this moment, there was a woman standing next to him, this woman had a sad face.

Wei Dao didn't know what was going on. He must be asking for something, not just a funeral. Brother Ming said, "This is one of my cousins. He is asking you for something!"

Wei Dao then asked, "What's the matter? I'll do my best if I can help!" Brother Ming said, "Oh! Do you know? I don't know what happened to my niece Huiling's family! Something happened to her family suddenly.

A great disaster. Within two years, first my mother died, and then my eldest brother

He passed away, his sister-in-law ran away, and even his nephew drowned inexplicably. Now his younger brother is bedridden! But the marriage of niece Huiling, who was originally engaged, fell through. No matter how many times we talked about it, it was of no use and nothing could be done.

!And look at what she looks like now!"

Wei Dao took a look and saw that this woman looked a little crazy. Brother Ming said: "Huiling seems to be mentally disturbed. I'm afraid that no one in his family can survive! How could this happen in just two years?"

What happened to these things? My starling just passed away three years ago! Alas!"

As soon as Wei Dao understood it, he said: "Okay! Don't worry about it! I will definitely help her check it out! But now..." Of course Ming Ge knew it clearly and said: "Okay! You can check it out when you have time.

Look!" Wei Dao nodded and smiled.

Then the Taoist priests are constantly chanting sutras and salvation, so that the souls of the dead can go to heaven. As long as someone comes, they will naturally play the flute and the gongs and drums will make a non-stop sound. Of course, someone will come to offer sacrifices.

After bowing, the bereaved family inside cannot wander around, but must continue to kneel on the broken mats on both sides of the coffin, and then say goodbye.

Until late at night, no one came, and we were waiting for more people to come tomorrow, including my uncle. If my uncle came, it would be really serious, and I would have to apologize to my uncle!

Late at night, I would continue to recite sutras to achieve salvation, rest for a while and then recite for a while again, and so on. It can be said that the whole night passed like this.

However, there is another way to light up the road to death, and that is to help the souls of the dead find a smooth journey and find the road to heaven without getting lost, and avoid becoming lonely ghosts.

The process of lighting up the road to the underworld and seeing the blind started. It was also composed of selected relatives and friends. Under the guidance of Taoist priests who chanted sutras, they walked all the way to the waterside and then put out water lanterns. This was considered to be the completion of lighting up the road to the underworld.

The procedure for delivering blinds. Of course, if there is no water, they should be placed on the roadside. This should be adapted to local conditions.

Of course, immediate family members have to set off in person. Filial sons and grandsons must gather together and wait until the Taoist priests think it is time to set off. That will be fine. After all, the sutras must be chanted again, and this must be done.

Zhang Ling was selected. He took a mineral water bottle, filled it with wood chaff powder, and poured it with fuel or other combustion aids such as gasoline or diesel. These tasks had to be done by relatives and friends, and the bereaved family did not have to do it. Wei Dao arranged

Waving his hand, he said: "Go!"

Brother Ming couldn't help laughing when he saw this, and asked: "Aren't you afraid of burning? It's a joke for such a big man!" Wei Dao said: "It's nothing, I'm just afraid that my son will be nervous if he does it for the first time!"

Brother Ming asked again: "Has he learned Taoism from you? Will he inherit your Taoism in the future?"
