Hearing what Brother said, we didn't ask any more, so we had to sit at the door and watch him hit the coffin honestly. The brother entered the house and did not walk straight forward. Instead, he stopped for a while in front of the coffin, muttered a few words softly in his mouth, and then picked up a bamboo basket from the side.
In the bamboo basket there is a big rooster, a pound of yellow paper, a pair of red candles, and a few colorful clothes. These things are all prepared by my brother.
Rooster, yellow paper, and red candles are nothing special, but those paper clothes are very particular. There are seven paper clothes in total, which are black, red, green, blue, purple, orange, and yellow. , The black ones are for adults, and the other colors are for children.
And on the back of the clothes, I wrote the words with a brush. The black paper clothes are the birthdates of the man who died of the woman, and the other six small clothes are the birthdates of the six dying children.
At that time, I didn't quite understand these intentions. Later I learned that the senior brother also said in doing this. Generally, when the coffin is finished, the lonely souls and ghosts nearby will definitely be worried. Because the lonely wild ghost is called the lonely wild ghost, to put it bluntly, that is, there is no place to live, and generally the newly-made coffins belong to no owner until nothing is done.
In the eyes of lonely wild ghosts, the unowned is sweet and delicious. The senior brother stopped in front of the coffin, and the muttering in his mouth was persuading the lonely wild ghost to leave. He took the paper clothes to promise those lonely wild ghosts, meaning Yes, when the coffin is finished, burn some clothes for them to avoid suffering from hunger and cold.
This practice originated from the traditional Chinese virtues. The elder brother had a good luck at that time. With just a few benefits, he dismissed the lone soul and wild ghost in the coffin. If the lone soul and wild ghost in the coffin is unwilling to leave, he wants Dove occupying the magpie's nest, that can only be invited to the ancestor Lu Ban to play.
Inviting Patriarch Luban to appear on the stage is a deterrent method. It is well known that Luban is the Patriarch of the carpenter's line. As long as he can be called Patriarch, the idols are only able to gain a bit of immortality through special craftsmanship, and can suppress lonely ghosts. Once matched with the carpenter's spell, its power will be great, and it can disperse the souls of those lonely and wild ghosts.
However, God has the virtue of being good, like
No matter the Taoists or the Buddhists are unwilling to do this kind of things like soul flying, because it is too heavy to kill evil, damages the yin virtue, and easily breaks the circuit of one's own reincarnation. Therefore, we ghosts are not willing to do this kind of thing, unless it is unavoidable.
My brother stopped in front of the coffin for a while, then put his hand under his feet, and began to sit on the ground with his eyes closed and rested. It was strange to say that the cock was originally happily jumping on the ground, and he closed his eyes. For an instant, the dick seemed to be intimidated by something, and immediately fell silent, crawling under the feet of the senior, and motionless.
My senior stayed with his eyes closed for a few minutes, and then suddenly opened his eyes suddenly. At that moment, his whole spirit seemed to have become another person, his eyes piercing, like a fairy spirit.
He glanced at us profoundly, then bowed to the altar of the hall three times, finally turned around and knelt down towards the door of the hall.
We were at the door and looked at the brother secretly. The brother knelt on the ground very religiously, with the backs of both hands and hands on the ground, palms facing up, and muttering words in his mouth. After he finished reading, he slowly got up again, and bowed to the east three times again, before the ceremony was finished.
This practice of my brother is also based on the source. It stands to reason that he should first worship the ancestor, but China has always paid attention to worshipping the gods before getting started. Therefore, the brothers bowed to the altar in the hall first, but when worshiping the ancestor, they used kneeling and bowing. The importance of Chinese etiquette is obvious at first sight.
When the senior brother got up, he held the kitchen knife in his right hand and wiped it against the male chicken's neck. When the senior brother killed the male chicken, the male chicken seemed unconscious and let the senior brother's kitchen knife wipe his neck.
When the chicken blood came out, the brother first dripped three points of chicken blood in the coffin, and then he walked around the hall with the chicken male. He walked and sprinkled the blood on every corner of the hall, and finally walked out of the hall and took the chicken. The blood was scattered on the stairs in front of the hall.
At this moment, I don’t know if I’m dazzled or what’s going on. I vaguely feel that the coffin seems to have changed, but I can’t tell why it has changed. If I really want to say something has changed, I can only say , There seems to be an invisible side around the coffin
The air wall gives people a mysterious and mysterious feeling.
Watching my senior brother ran out of chicken blood, he directly threw the male chicken in his hand into the coffin, and then heard the "cuckling" cock, but soon, the male chicken suddenly lost his voice.
My senior brother was very satisfied with this situation. After putting the rooster in the coffin for a few minutes, he lifted the rooster out of the coffin, and then began to burn yellow paper in front of the coffin, and lighted a pair of red candles under the coffin.
Seeing this, I exhaled. Although I didn't understand it at the time, I felt that my brother was very powerful. My brother turned his head and looked at us, saying that if the red wax does not go out within an hour, it means that this ritual is complete.
Jia Sidao asked subconsciously, what should I do if the candle goes out. My senior's face suddenly sank, and he gave Jia Si a vicious look, calling him a crow's mouth, saying that now the master’s man and six children are already sleeping in the coffin, the candle is absolutely impossible to go out, and Jia Si Dao quickly incited his three big mouths to apologize.
Jia Sidao hurriedly slapped himself three times in accordance with my brother's words. My senior brother put the paper clothes in the coffin and started to talk nicely to the coffin, saying that the child is ignorant and talking nonsense. I also hope that your adult will have a lot of things to refrain from worrying about with the child.
While Jia Sidao was rubbing his face, my senior came over with a calm face, and took Jia Sidao's arm into the room. Jia Sidao hurriedly asked my senior brother what he wanted to do. My senior glared at him and told him not to speak.
The two of them entered the house. The senior brother pulled Jia Sidao to the coffin and raised his hand to incite three loud slaps on his face. He used a lot of strength, and Jia Sidao's face was immediately swollen. Get up, and then my brother made Jia Sidao kneel down very seriously.
Jia Sidao was both frightened and aggrieved, covering his face and kneeling in front of the coffin. My senior asked him to knock his head three times. Jia Sidao gave a cry, and then kowtowed three heads reluctantly. Just when Jia Sidao was about to stand up, my brother held his shoulder again and said that he could stand up only when the candles were all burned out.
I saw all this in my eyes and was shocked in my heart. Although I didn't know what happened, it was obvious that Jia Sidao was a misfortune and caused a big trouble.
