Chapter 15: Breaking the tiles and putting them in the ground
I stretched out a lot and felt comfortable this night. Nothing happened. They were all preparing step by step. They started eating here at 5 o'clock. People coming and going outside were all relatives and friends who came to pay their respects. I looked at the table below. It was 6 o'clock in the morning. I went out and said hello to them. I took my things and asked Uncle Zhang to take me to the cemetery to collect the bones. I walked through the village to the back mountain and saw a large empty field, large and small. They were all cemeteries. I asked them to light incense and continue walking. After a while, they came to the old man’s grave, put incense and made offerings. I asked them to put incense on each grave to show respect, and looked at the compass. The problem with the astronomical phenomenon is not big. Before starting to break the earth and raise the tomb, Yuan Shi settled the town and informed all the spirits. Yue Du was the true official, and the land was only spiritual. Left the society and the right Ji, do not be alarmed. Return to the right path, clarify the inside and outside. Each one is in position and on guard. Family. The Supreme Being has an order to search for evil spirits. Become the king of gods and protect and recite sutras. Convert to the great road, Yuan Henry Zhen. Begin to dig up the land here, the most spiritual spirit of the gods. It can reach the sky and the earth, go in and out of the netherworld. Open the summons for me, No one is allowed to stay. On the day of meritorious deeds, the memorial will be given to the emperor. After all these polite things have been done, we can start picking up the bones.
Cover the sun with a red cloth before starting to pick up the bones. Some local customs use red, white and yellow cloth to cover the light at the same time, depending on the customs of different places. When picking the bones from the prepared longevity materials, the deceased is a man, and the son wears red gloves to pick up the bones. ; The deceased is a woman, and the daughter wears red gloves to pick it up. After picking up the bones, a carrot is thrown into a pit, several graves are dug, and a few carrots are thrown in. Then the eldest son adds the soil that was dug out first back into the pit. , sprinkle it on the radish. Sprinkle a few handfuls of sorghum. After filling the hole, the spirit can be raised. Whenever you cross a bridge or a fork in the road, you must throw away paper money. When you reach the cemetery, you must throw away all the paper money. Some bridges use pressed yellow paper. .
Uncle Zhang held the bones and prepared the coffin when he got home. After placing the old man's ashes, he waited for the auspicious day to be buried together. This was considered the fulfillment of the old man's wish. It was also considered the double position of the dragon's lair. It was a blessing and a great virtue. The sunset It was officially the day of Xishan's burial. I asked Da Lei to help me build the altar, prepared the offerings, and prepared the ceremony for opening the altar in the yard. I was wearing a yellow robe, holding a seven-star sword in my hand, and stood in front of the altar with the soul bell in my hand. Beginning to pray for incense and divine incantations, learn from the heart, pass on fake incense, burn incense and burn the jade furnace in front of the emperor. The true spirit is waiting for the immortal to come to the Xuan. Today, the minister will tell you that it will reach nine days. Light 9 big incense sticks, and hold the seven-star sword in your left hand. Prick the yellow paper, burn it in front of the candle, throw out a handful of rice with your right hand, recite the mind-purifying mantra Taishangtaixing, constantly adapt to the situation, exorcise evil spirits, bind evil spirits, protect life and protect the body, wisdom, clarity, peace of mind, three souls, eternal soul, no loss and pouring out. The Enemy Mantra: There are many grievances among living beings, and they are deep and difficult to untie. The grievances formed in one life will not stop in three lives. I am passing on the wonderful method to relieve all the grievances. Listen to it, recite it, listen to it with your heart, and let the enemies disperse.
"Big thunder red rope tied to two coffins"
"OK"
Look at the big thunder and finish tying the red string, recite the mantra of eating nectar, eat the cold nectar, eat the infinite Qian and Liuqizhen, why is it hindered by this method, eat and drink, ascend to the sky, ascend to the purple micro sky, have high merit, and offer food to purify everything. Something promising
, I have ordered you to pull out the three kinds of hardships and give them to Jiu Xuanqing. When you are about to eat, all the heavens praise the cold court for its sorrow. I look back to the empress of the Yuan Dynasty, Qingling Baofu, Zhongshan Zhendi's book. Once I think of it, I will ascend to the Taiqing Dynasty and then I will take refuge. Under the nine ghosts of emptiness and virtue, purple microscopic light swirled around. The soul shook, wrote down the spell, hung up the Eight Diagrams Ball, and heard a loud roar, and the ball moved. The ball began to slide along the red rope, hit the coffin, and fell to the ground. And burn, as it burns and rolls over and over again, it forms a 7. After finishing, tell Uncle Zhang that the funeral will be held before 7 o'clock tomorrow. Everything went smoothly. The tiles were broken before the coffin was lifted, proving that the deceased was also reincarnated. Maoshan gave During the funeral, mahogany swords were used to touch tiles, and the coffin was carried across the bridge. In some places, earthen basins were broken, and the basins had eyes. There is also a story. Once upon a time, there was a scholar who married a wife and gave birth to a boy. Soon after, he died of illness. Not long after, the scholar married another wife. This daughter-in-law treated the scholar's child like her own son, hugging him during the day and at night. Unexpectedly, when the child was three years old, the scholar fell ill and died, leaving him alone. Orphans and widowed mothers depended on each other. The family was not well off when there was a man, and life became even more difficult when the man died. But even so, this woman never lacked a bite of food for her children.
There is a basin on the top of his bedside table, and the food bought by the woman is placed in it for the children to eat at will. As time goes by, the children get used to it, and they eat in the basin when they are hungry. As the children grow,
When I grew up, I also won the title of Juren in my studies and became a famous figure. I still often went to the basin on the top of the cabinet to get something to eat.
Later, the woman worked too hard and fell ill, and died within a month. The scholar cried so hard that when he saw the empty basin with food on the top of the cabinet, he thought of his mother and couldn't stop crying. The people present discussed it
, wanted to throw the basin to save him from seeing the injury. On the third day, Jin Sheng, holding the basin on his head, knelt in front of the coffin and cried: "Mom, you are so miserable!" He fainted while crying. People
I took this opportunity and dropped the basin.
From then on, when a parent died in a family, the son would buy an earthen basin to show his filial piety and burn foil paper in it. On the day of the funeral, he would throw the basin in public in the street, which was called basin-breaking. Also, the son would throw it on the head of the filial son when he threw it.
All of a sudden, so it is also called "top basin". This is also the content of folklore, but in Taoism, the soul of a person after death walks on the road to the underworld, passes by a Naihe Bridge, and crosses the bridge to Wangxiang Terrace, where the deceased will meet for the last time.
Looking back at the human world, the endless love, hatred and hatred in the rolling world will turn into fleeting smoke in an instant. Thinking of this, sadness comes from it, and I feel unwilling, but there is nothing I can do. After arriving in the underworld, the ghosts accept the nine palaces in turn.
Yama's interrogation and interrogation will ultimately lead to them either falling into hell or being reincarnated as a human being based on their good and evil deeds during their lifetime.
After leaving the Yama Hall, we came to a place called Meng Po Village. Meng Po specializes in the matter of "turning from yin to yang". Before reincarnation, each soul is asked to take a bowl of Meng Po soup, also called ecstasy soup, so that the soul can be transformed.
He has completely forgotten everything that happened in his life... At this point, you may understand: The reason for preparing a clay pot with holes in the bottom is to leak the ecstasy soup, so as to prevent the deceased from drinking it by mistake and forgetting his relatives in the world. Breaking the tiles is equivalent to
Cross the bridge, and from now on, humans and ghosts will take a different path, don't miss the human world, and be reincarnated as soon as possible.
After everything was successfully carried out and buried, I asked Uncle Zhang to take more care of the village guards in the future. I also went to the woman's house to see if the boy was okay. After saying goodbye to his house, Dalei and I were going back to school. On the way
