Chapter 8 The Unliftable Coffin
Cao Zhenzhen followed Cao Yusen immediately because when he was on that ghost road, Cao Yusen's performance made Cao Zhenzhen feel that this brother was too trustworthy.
"Aunt, aunt, float in the air! She is still smiling at me!" Cao Zhenzhen said, and immediately flashed behind Cao Yusen, shaking all over.
Cao Yusen looked up and saw a figure floating in the sky. It was so familiar, but it flashed away in a while! Cao Yusen couldn't help but remembered that people had psychic eyes when they were born, that is, they could see ghosts and monsters. However, as they grew older, the psychic ability gradually disappeared.
Especially when children under three years old are more likely to see incredible things. Often when they hold funerals or when they see piles of graves at night, the child cries constantly, and even says that the deceased is floating on it and laughs at him.
But Cao Zhenzhen is already twelve years old. She is said to be over this age, but why can she still see it? Cao Yusen also felt strange, would she see it?
People not far away heard what Cao Zhenzhen said. When they looked up, there was no one! How could people float in the air?
However, the three brothers of the Cao family saw all this. The three brothers looked at each other, and the three of them had solemn expressions. It was very bad for Cao Yusen to see things he shouldn't have seen, and it was really bad.
After Cao Yusen burned incense with his family, he burned incense in them. As the mother's family, he had to cry. Even if he couldn't cry, he had to cry a few times. He even had children. Usually, his daughter would cry at the coffin: "Mom! Someone from my uncle's family is here to see you! All the cousins are here!"
According to custom, the people from my uncle's family must let the children of the deceased, especially the daughter, cry at the coffin, and tell the deceased that your family has come to see you!
After the Cao family burned incense, someone specialized to entertain them. After all, this was also my mother's family. This had to be solemnly treated differently from other guests who came to mourn.
According to local customs, the deceased's son and others should be personally entertained. Although the uncle is gone, the cousin is present, which means that the mother's family can be received with high etiquette.
Therefore, when entering Taiwan for dinner, the deceased children would come to the table where Cao Yusen and others were sitting, and would first kneel down to Cao Wenhao and other mothers' family members, crying and telling them that they were unfilial and failed to let their mother live long, so that they could not bear the clichés like Yunyun.
My uncle's family naturally had to help the children of the deceased one by one and say a word of comfort. Of course, the meaning of the words is that they cannot be blamed. People have life and death, and the natural laws are natural, and no one can control them. Please read it and be mournful and follow the changes.
After all, the children of the deceased invited their cousins to dinner. They said goodbye and left, and they stood in front of the coffin to have dinner.
All the procedures are completed, so the funeral will naturally be held, and everyone is waiting for the funeral.
But when the Taoist priest holding the peach wood sword muttered something, then pointed at the coffin and shouted: "Get up!" All the people carrying the coffin came in one after another, and they wanted to carry the coffin to the place where they were buried.
Since this is a remote mountain village, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, no one will pay attention to it when burying it. At worst, it’s just a fine. Now it’s different from the past that I have to dig it out. After all, it’s hard to get rid of the public, and the master is also afraid!
There are usually 8 to 16 people carrying coffins. Since the deceased is already in his 90s, it is for longevity. Funerals are also called joys and funerals. The couplets posted are all red, so naturally there are 16 people carrying coffins.
The 16 burly men are all in their place. There is a saying that anyone who carries a coffin must be carried by a married person. There are also some places that in this village, anyone who has been married must carry a coffin at least once. Therefore, once there is a funeral in the village, the coffin carrying people must take turns. Of course, there are also those who often carry coffin with this profession.
"Hey!" With a shout, the 16 people exerted their strength together, but a strange thing happened! 16 people couldn't lift the coffin! 16 people looked at each other and couldn't believe all this! Try again! 16 people still couldn't lift the coffin!
This caused shock! People couldn't help but watch this scene! This is an extremely unlucky thing.
Some people say that the living person has a small figure and is not very heavy. Even if he is a person, what can't lift these 16 burly men? But the fact is that 16 people really can't lift this coffin!
Seeing 16 people grinning their teeth, looking very painful and unable to lift them even if they tried their best, they knew that it was definitely not a fake.
There is only one explanation like this, that is, being possessed by evil spirits! Perhaps the deceased has some wishes that have not yet been fulfilled and are unwilling to leave. If the deceased's wishes cannot be fulfilled, the deceased will continue to worship.
It is not surprising that some people have this statement: "Is the deceased unwilling to leave? For example, what offended her and made her very resentful? It's said that the old lady is so good! It shouldn't be like this!"
The Taoist priest first went over and took a good look at the Soul-Spiritting Chicken, but the Soul-Spiritting Chicken shook her head and looked listless.
The so-called soul-guiding chicken is to guide the dead soul to the underworld, and it will beat the chicken to make the chicken crow, thus guiding the dead soul to the underworld. There is also a saying that how many times the crow sounds will be like.
But now? The Taoist priest had a dozen roosters, and the rooster was still hanging his head, not moving at all, and he didn't even know how to scream. This is so abnormal!
The Taoist priest understood that it would be useless to hit a rooster again, he had to cast a spell. The Taoist priest cast a spell again and wanted to lift a coffin, but this time it failed. The 16 people carrying the coffin also stopped. They knew that something must have happened, and they could not carry the coffin. Seeing this, Cao Yusen said, "Will something happen?" He looked at the elders and asked the elders to come out to help.
Cao Wuhao was calm and said, "It's okay! I think the master on the stage will find out the reason soon!"
Cao Yusen asked, "What's the reason? Why can't my aunt's coffin be opened?" Cao Wuhao smiled and said, "Wait patiently! The result will come out soon!"
The master was called and the family had discussed it. Not long after, I saw my aunt's second wife crying. She was holding a bracelet in her hand. She kept kowtowing in front of the spirit: "Woooo! Mother-in-law! My wife is sorry for you! My wife is sorry for you! I shouldn't have thought of wealth, so I took the bracelet you dowry!"
