When the music on the loudspeaker stopped again, Uncle Xu, who led the crowd around, also stopped.
"The east gate of Fengdu has arrived!"
The cooperating person next to him spoke in dialect.
"Is Mrs. Hu here?"
"I didn't see anyone at the east gate."
"Then go to the west city gate and have a look..."
"Let's go now?"
"Go now!"
After the words fell, the cheerful soundtrack played again, and Uncle Xu led the crowd around the yard again.
……
Beside the yard, Lian Ge watched the scene, shook his head and smiled, then looked away and continued to draw symbols.
Time passes slowly,
From the beginning of the night to the darkening of the night.
Finally, Uncle Xu led a group of people from the "East City Gate" to the "West City Gate", and from the "West City Gate" to the "North City Gate" and "South City Gate", and finally laid down the "Eighteen Levels of Hell",
Lian Ge finally finished making all the talismans and stopped.
"Patta." Throwing down the pen in his hand, moving his pantothenic hand, feeling the nearly exhausted mana, Lian Ge raised his head again,
While gathering up the talisman papers and superseding scriptures on the table, Lian Ge looked towards the middle of the courtyard, where the crowd had been tossing all night.
At this moment, the traditional funeral ceremony presided over by Uncle Xu is almost the same.
After breaking a few tiles with the end of his Zen stick, Uncle Xu motioned for the crowd to gather around a branch full of incense and paper money.
Beside the courtyard, Lian Ge, who put away the scriptures in seal script, watched with great interest,
This branch with wax paper hanging on it is also called the money tree, and it will appear at the end of almost every funeral ceremony.
in the yard,
Under Uncle Xu's signal, a group of people held the branch and shook it violently. As the paper money and incense wax fell from it, the whole branch was also pushed into the burning money paper pile next to it, and was burned.
at last,
After the ceremony was over, the courtyard became quiet again.
Lian Ge then got up and walked towards Uncle Xu,
"Uncle Xu, you are very skilled, you are much more like a mage than me." Lian Ge smiled and said to Uncle Xu,
"It's just an empty air, and it can bluff people. There is no comparison with you, Master Lian." Uncle Xu took off his robe, shook his head and said,
"According to what Master Lian said before, these farts are useless. If they can really be saved, one scripture will be enough to save them. These are all superfluous airs."
Hearing this, Lian Ge smiled and didn't answer, but instead asked,
"Uncle Xu, has the person who went to dig the grave come back?"
"Not yet, let me call and ask."
With that said, Uncle Xu took out his cell phone, went to the side and made a call.
After a very short time, Uncle Xu came back and said to Lian Ge,
"It's said that the ground is a little hard and I haven't dug it yet, but it's coming soon, and I'll be back in another hour."
Hearing this, Lian Ge nodded,
"Since there is no problem, let's go to the burial tomorrow morning according to the previous plan."
"Then I ask the master to issue a death certificate now, so that it can be cremated tomorrow morning?"
"Trouble, Uncle Xu."
Chapter 43
Seeing the back of Uncle Xu walking away, Lian Ge slightly shook his head,
If he was really allowed to come to this funeral ceremony alone, he really couldn't handle so many things, so he could only cast a spell and leave.
But funeral ceremonies are never for the dead to see.
Withdrawing his gaze, Lian Ge walked towards the main room with strides.
On the side, Hu Xianshou and his wife, who had been paying attention to Lian Ge, immediately came up to him when they saw this,
"Master Lian, you've been busy all night. We just cooked some glutinous rice balls here. Would you like to eat some?" Hu Xianshou asked.
Hearing this, Lian Ge stopped in his tracks, then shook his head at the two of them,
"No, I'm not hungry yet."
"Master Lian, shall I take you to your room to rest?"
"No need, your old lady will have a funeral tomorrow morning, and now I have to make some preparations."
"Master Lian, do you need our help?"
"Go ahead and do your work, I will greet you directly if there is anything to do."
After speaking, Lian Ge continued walking towards the main room.
Hu Xianshou and his wife paused in place and got busy again.
……
Stepping into the main room, it suddenly seemed a little quiet.
The old lady of the Hu family was still lying on the door panel, but there were a few sticks of wax, a few piles of paper money ashes, and a few sticks of incense in front of her.
After scanning the quiet main room, Lian Ge walked to the direction where the old lady of the Hu family was facing, and squatted down again.
Looking at the waxed paper money in front of him, Lian Ge took out the scriptures on saving people from the pocket of his robe.
Holding this scripture, after glancing at it again, Lian Ge rolled it up slightly and put it on the candlelight.
moment,
The flickering flame spread from the candle to the scripture paper,
Watching the flame burn from the edge to the first line, and then continue to spread downward,
In the beating and spreading flames, the engraved scriptures seemed to faintly emit milky white light.
Seeing this scene, Lian Ge smiled slightly,
When the flame was about to spread to his hand, he let go of his hand, allowing the burning scriptures to fall to the ground with flames and ashes.
at last,
In the last line of the scripture, the seal drawn by Singer Lian also returned to ashes.
Standing up again, he glanced at the old lady of the Hu family who was lying quietly on the bed,
Without staying any longer, Lian Ge turned around and stepped out of the main room.
If it's just an extension, then this step has been completed.
……
at the same time,
Under the prefecture, Fengdu City Exit-Entry Management Office has a Temporary Entry Quarantine Office,
Like an apartment, each floor of the temporary isolation area is a corridor straight to the head, with temporary isolation rooms on both sides, used to isolate ghosts who are in a state of confusion and who have not harmed anyone.
At the moment when Lian Ge burned the scriptures, the area of Sichuan and Shu's native place suddenly changed in the temporary quarantine area for immigration.
A melodious music sounded from nowhere, and all the ghosts, ghosts, and even officials of the underworld who heard the sound couldn't help but stop in place, as if attracted by this fairy music, and couldn't help but immerse themselves in it.
The entire Sichuan and Shu native area suddenly became extremely quiet, only the melodious music resounded.
Immediately afterwards, in the isolation room where the old lady of the Hu family was staying, there was a solemn and clear sound of chanting,
"Yuanshi Dongxuan, this chapter of Lingbao. The top grade wonderful head, ten times to save people. The hidden rhyme of a hundred demons, the separation and reunion are natural. The red text in the cave is unsurpassed. The ancestor of the Yuan Dynasty robbed and transformed into the heavens..."
As the words and sentences of this chapter of the Lingbao of the Sutra of Saving People are read out, the soul of the old lady of the Hu family who is still immersed in the melodious music, the lingering resentment and hostility dissipate like a cloud of smoke, and her soul body become more pure.
Outside the isolation room, in the corridor, the officials of the underworld who were immersed in fairy music woke up one after another with the passage of time.
And they also noticed other visions besides the music and music.
Above their heads, over the entire area, there is still a picture of Tai Chi Yin and Yang hovering, it seems that the fairy music that makes them immersed is also coming from it, and in the distance, the sound of chanting sutras can be faintly heard.
"Boss, what's the situation?" A government official who had just started working in the underworld asked his boss with some doubts.
"Someone is superseding ghosts." The somewhat steady official from the underworld replied,
"You go to inform the director, you guys, come with me to have a look."
"Yes."
The slightly steady underworld civil servant led the people, and rushed towards the direction where the scriptures were faintly transmitted.
With little effort, they found the isolation room where the old lady of the Hu family was staying.
"The nine phoenixes whistling in the front sing together, and the eight phoenixes sing in unison at the back. The lion and the white crane sing and sing Yongyong. The five elders start the way..."
Hearing the sound of chanting sutras from the isolation room, all the civil servants of the underworld stopped in their tracks again,
"Boss, it seems to be the scriptures for saving people?"
Hearing the sound, the leader of the civil servants in the underworld didn't speak, but just raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet,
He didn't bring anyone in, but stood outside the door, waiting quietly.
After a very short time,
Before the sound of chanting sutras in the isolation room disappeared, the person in charge of the Temporary Entry Isolation Office suddenly appeared outside the isolation room.
"Director!" All the officials of the underworld who were waiting reacted instantly and bowed in salute.
The person in charge of the Temporary Entry Quarantine waved his hand and asked,
"Someone is superseding the souls of the underworld?"
"Yes, director, it should be the chapter of Lingbao, the scripture for saving people, and I'm almost finished reading it."
Hearing this, the person in charge of the isolation office nodded and didn't speak any more, just like the rest of the people, quietly waiting for the completion of the recovery in the isolation room.
at last,
After another moment,
The chanting sound subsided again, and the person in charge of the isolation office paused outside the isolation room for a while, and after confirming that there was no sound again, he signaled the person beside him to open the isolation room.
In the isolation room,
The old lady of the Hu family finally came back to her senses at this moment, looking at a scripture that appeared out of thin air in her hand with some doubts, not knowing what happened,
However, she felt that her soul and body were healthy at this moment, and the gloom in her heart was swept away, and she felt extremely comfortable all over her body.
Especially when holding this scripture in my hand, there is still a warm feeling,
"Old lady, can you show me the scripture in your hand?"
The person in charge of the isolation department who opened the door and walked into the isolation room asked kindly.
Hearing the sound, the old lady of the Hu family turned around,
Looking at the person who was surrounded by the crowd and looked like a high official from the underworld, he hesitated and handed it over.
The person in charge of the isolation department stretched out his hands, and took the scripture that exuded spiritual light with some care,
After quickly skimming the content of the scriptures on it, I looked at the inscription on the last line of the scriptures,
"Twenty generations of descendants of the Lian family, Lian Ge."
"Master?"
The person in charge of the isolation office immediately realized what the name meant, so he handed the scripture back to the old lady of the Hu family even more kindly.
