Chapter 19 Burial with a Coffin

When the village chief heard this, he sighed, "Two updaters died in our village last night. We don't know why. We are afraid of causing any more trouble, so we want to trouble the three of us to help us get the coffin and bury us."

When we heard this, we were stunned and looked at each other. According to the rules, the burial of the coffin should have been completed by the family members of the deceased or relatives and friends.

We don’t know him before, so it’s probably a violation of the rules to hold a coffin and bury him.

But unexpectedly, Zhang Qiling looked at the village chief, and after hesitating for a moment, he nodded and agreed. I was puzzled, but if someone outsiders were there, I couldn't say much.

After chatting with the village chief for a few more words, we said goodbye and rushed back to our grandfather's house. At this time, our grandfather had not come back yet.

I looked at Zhang Qiling and was very confused about his promise if he didn't discuss it with me and Xiaodie.

"Hey." I said, "What happened just now? Why didn't you ask for our opinions? I just promised you to solve the bandit, why did you even bury the coffin? You can find a way to solve it yourself."

"Hehe, don't be angry first." Zhang Qiling licked his face and smiled, "It's really inappropriate to hold the coffin and bury it. But if the person who instructed the scene could be led out, wouldn't it be a killing two birds with one stone?"

"The mastermind behind the scenes? You couldn't have made it up to lie to me."

"How is that possible? I have a premonition. What we met before seemed to be designed by him. The damn person will die naturally, but he also had an extra piece. You don't think that the only demons are here."

"This is the truth."

I nodded.

Indeed, I have always felt this way, but I have experienced it a lot, and my vigilance makes me subconsciously unwilling to take care of it.

But now I think about it, since the other party has come to me, hiding is not a solution. It is better to take this opportunity to meet the other party and see what tricks he is playing.

Isn’t it just to hold a coffin? Although I have taboos in my career, to be honest, I really don’t take it as a big deal.

Burying a coffin is one of many burial methods. The customs and burial methods are different in each place.

Sichuan’s hanging coffin burial method, Yunnan’s scenic burial method, Tibet’s heavenly burial method, and Hunan’s water flow burial method. After all, there are basically different methods in each place.

Hanging coffins are a strange phenomenon. After a person dies, he puts them in the coffin for seven days and parks them at home for all worship.

After seven days, the soul returned to the first seven days. According to legend, the soul of the deceased returned, and he found a place for himself and sent a dream to his family.

On the eighth day, a special person will be asked to enter the mountain to dig and fix the pulley. Four hours after the funeral, he will be called the precursor of the soil. The coffin and the deceased will be placed alone in one place for four hours.

After the pre-hire is completed in the soil, the coffin and corpse will be sent to the cliff and fixed. According to legend, such a sacrificial method can ensure uncertain Feng Shui and abundant wealth.

The grand burial in Yunnan is not about making face, but about sacrifices to the mountain god and stopping the mountain coffin!

The deceased will be the first seven days after death. The corpse will be stored on ice to ensure that it will not grow and deform.

There is no need to worship this seven days, but the children must kneel down and not get up, sleep for three days, and eat for four days. The eighth day is the day of the funeral. The children of the deceased smile, and the big fish, meat, good meat, wine, and food to entertain guests, and do not neglect them.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, I carried the coffin up the mountain to worship the mountain god, and bought land to worship the deserted tombs in Sanliui Mountain.

After the offering is completed, the coffin and the deceased will be placed on the mountain for several months, or years.

The heavenly sacrifice in Tibet is actually not unfamiliar with people. People there believe that after death, people will have souls and souls will go to heaven.

Therefore, after a person dies, he has no coffin or filial piety. He wraps the body with a bundle of weeds and puts it on the top of the mountain to wait for the eagle to pick it up and eat it.

This burial of the coffin means that the relatives will hold the coffin and lie with the deceased for three days first. A funeral will be held after three days, and the deceased will be buried in peace.

The three of us are not from the village, so we should not complete the matter of holding the coffin. Moreover, this will inevitably lead to bad luck in the deceased for three days, and everything will be unhappy afterwards.

Fortunately, those who practice Taoism will not be too concerned about these things.

The village chief was also scared and thought about asking us to help the coffin. If this was not the case, there would be other tricks, which would be what we wanted.

Seeing that I no longer objected, Zhang Qiling grinned and stopped talking. I was too lazy to pay attention to him. I always felt that I was betrayed by being with him.

Xiaodie saw that I was a little unhappy and kept comforting me. I simply got up and left my grandfather's house and walked outside.

I heard that the two updaters died, but when we came yesterday, there was no movement. I searched for a long time before I found the home of the two updaters.

They are two brothers, the eldest is called Kuancai, and the second is called Kuanfu. Both brothers have married wives and their lives are ordinary.

I stood outside the door and listened to an old lady telling me about their affairs.

Then I entered the door and wanted to ask more details, but unexpectedly, as soon as I stepped into the door, the two women suddenly ran over crying, and without asking, they pointed at my nose and cursed.

If they weren't women, I wouldn't let them go.

I glanced at them, then pushed them away and walked towards the coffin.

The corpse's eyes were blue, his face turned black, his mouth was always open, his eyes were protruding and his eyes were wide open

The characteristics of the two corpses are similar. No scars are found on their bodies, but there are obvious signs of blood stasis on their chests, which should have been broken by the heart.

As soon as I was about to reach out to see the deceased's pulse, the two women drove me away with hoes.

They must be very sad when this husband dies, but there is no need to be so excited about me, a stranger.

The only thing that can be confirmed is that the two brothers are lying down, and the two sisters are living.

It’s not a family, but if you don’t enter the family, your temper is so bad, and it’s really retribution.

Just as he was about to speak, the village chief also walked in. He smiled and said respectfully to the two women, "What are you doing? This is the master who is here to hold the coffin for your man."

"Stop, I didn't promise you to hold the coffin for them. Since you have relatives, you have to complete it."

I had already decided to accept the matter of holding the coffin, but now seeing the attitudes of the two women, I felt disgusted for no reason in my heart and immediately refused.

As soon as I finished speaking, the two women immediately said, "You are still not a man. We are women. Who can bear it if you bury them in the ground for three days? Aren't you a master? You should have done this."

"I am a man, so I don't hit women. I have some skills, but I'm not a master. This person has nothing to do with me. Why should I help you with the coffin?"

"You are so petty. I think you are not a man at all. How uncomfortable it is for us to die. You don't know how to help."

"Did you give me money? Why should I hold the coffin?"

"Oh, it turns out that it's just for money, No, I'll give it to you, pick it up quickly, otherwise we'll regret it in a while."

One of the women took out fifty dollars from their pockets and threw them directly on the ground, looking arrogant.

I gritted my teeth and wanted to get angry, but at this moment, my hand was pulled. When I looked back, it was Xiaodie. She wanted to bow and apologize to the two women, but I stopped her.

I wanted to let it go, but another woman sneered, "It turns out that there are people who are helping me. No wonder I'm so arrogant. I'm so arrogant. What kind of masters do we pretend to be a master. If you want to cheat money, just say it. I can give it back to me."

When the village chief heard this, he still smiled and said, "No matter what, he is also a master. You men have to rely on their help when they die."

The more I thought about it, the more I felt aggrieved, but I didn't want to get angry in front of Xiaodie, for fear of scaring her.
