Chapter 283: The Colorful Coffin (120)
As soon as I heard Wang Muyang's words, I stopped, turned my head and glanced at him, this guy has a lot of ambitions, and it is obviously impossible to establish a system of coffin bearers, so I asked him: "What kind of grace method?" Is burning the corpse a blessing to the world? ”
That Wang Muyang didn't seem to expect me to be like this, and smiled awkwardly, "I won't discuss the issue of customs today, I came with sincerity this time, I just want to invite you to establish a system of coffin bearers with me, as for the issue of customs, we will discuss it in detail later." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
I gave up, I didn't have any interest in establishing a coffin bearer system, I just wanted to do my job well.
That Wang Muyang didn't seem to give up, and grabbed me, "Chen Jiu, let's do it!" As long as you agree, I will marry my sister Wen Xue Xu to you! ”
"No need!"
I walked towards Shanghe Village without looking back, and Wang Muyang shouted a few times from behind, but I ignored it.
Soon, I returned to Shanghe Village, the time was close to nine o'clock, that Song Guangliang's funeral has begun, due to the suona craftsmen more, the whole scene seems to be very lively, the strange thing is that those villagers in Shanghe Village did not come to watch, there are just our group of funeral eight immortals and suona craftsmen, no outsiders.
Seeing this, I couldn't help but speed up a little, and when I came to the hall, You Tianming was leading the team to play suona, and when he saw me coming, he frowned and said softly: "Brother Jiu, what's going on in Shanghe Village?" ”
I understand what he meant, what he said was that no one came to watch, you must know that a lively funeral pays attention to the number of people, this person does not mean that there are many people who do the funeral, but there are many people who come to watch, but the deceased does not know what he did, the whole Shanghe Village was stunned that no one came, even the nearby villages did not come to watch, what made me most angry was that Song Guangming's brothers did not come.
Made, the deceased was their own brother, and now he is doing funerals, but he is hiding at home, and the door is not opened.
I wanted to knock on the door and pull them out.
It is said that the funeral is the last time the deceased is in the yang world, if it is so 'cold' to do the funeral, where can I be worthy of Song Qianxi, she repeatedly explained before her death, she must have a lively funeral.
And I asked You Tian to call so many suona craftsmen, the purpose of which was to make the funeral lively, but all this in front of me made me a little confused.
Seeing that I didn't speak, You Tianming asked me again, "Brother Jiu, what should I do now?" ”
I thought about it for a while, there are only two ways for people to come and watch a funeral, one is that there are many people doing the funeral, and the other is that the funeral process must be observable!
The first way to find a way, it is no longer possible, after all, there are enough people doing funerals now, the forty-nine suona craftsmen brought by You Tianming and the eight immortals of our Eight Immortal Palace, there are more than seventy people in total, in terms of numbers, it can already be regarded as a top-level funeral.
Then there is only the second way, the funeral process must be observable, only in this way can people come and watch.
In this way, the problem comes, the deceased Song Guangliang is very angry because of the colorful coffin, if it is done according to observability, there will inevitably be many flashy funeral ceremonies in the funeral process, which is not what I want. For me, the function of mourning is to eliminate the evil spirit and resentment of the deceased, and to accumulate blessings for the deceased in the next life, and there is no need to make those flashy things.
However, in this situation, we must get those flashy things.
What to do?
For a while, I was in a dilemma, and I was in a dilemma, and You Tianming spoke again, "Brother Jiu, why don't I play a hundred birds and a phoenix?" ”
"A hundred birds and a phoenix?" I felt a little familiar, as if I had heard You Tianming say this word.
He hummed and explained: "The master is famous for this song, I have learned a lot from following the master over the years, although the blowing is not as effective as the master, but it should be able to calm the current scene, and it can also attract many people to come." ”
"Really?" I wondered.
He nodded and said: "Our suona craftsmen have our own set of rules, and the general situation is mainly round songs, such as the song of a hundred birds and a phoenix, which can only be heard by big people doing red and white ceremonies. ”
Listening to his explanation, I vaguely remembered that Lao Wang seemed to have mentioned this, saying that "Hundred Birds and Phoenix" red and white ceremonies are universal, especially in funerals, if you can ask the suona craftsman to play a song of a hundred birds and a phoenix, it is better than inviting a dozen long dragons to have face.
The reason is that "Hundred Birds and Phoenix" is too scarce, and suona craftsmen who know how to play "Hundred Birds and Phoenix" are even rarer, plus "Hundred Birds and Phoenix" is popular in Shandong, Henan, Hebei and other northern, and it is really difficult for the south to listen to "Hundred Birds and Phoenix".
"Good!" I immediately agreed with You Tianming's opinion, so I asked him, "Are you sure you can do it?" ”
He thought for a moment, nodded, and said, "No problem." ”
Subsequently, You Tianming began to arrange the accompaniment of the suona craftsman, and he himself moved a bamboo rattan chair and placed it on the threshold, holding the suona in one hand, the strange thing is that the suona he took this time was a little different from the musical instruments held by other suona craftsmen, as if it was shorter, especially the leaves of the suona, which were quite round.
I remember someone said that the so-called "Hundred Birds and Phoenix" is to use a simple suona to play the whistle of a hundred kinds of birds, its melody is grand and powerful, the timbre is high-pitched and bright, and it has a strong local color.
"Wait!" I saw that You Tianming was ready, and immediately stopped him, mainly because I remembered one thing, that is, the coffin of the deceased was a colorful coffin, and if I wanted to blow "A Hundred Birds and a Phoenix", I am afraid that it would clash with the colorful coffin, the reason is that "A Hundred Birds and a Phoenix" is suitable for a warm, jubilant atmosphere and a majestic, magnificent scene.
The colorful coffin is gloomy, not like to be lively, the two rush to each other, plus the age of the deceased is not a happy mourning, if you suddenly use such a festive tune, I am afraid that it will annoy the deceased, I must first ask the deceased what he meant.
So, I immediately walked towards the hall, first burned some yellow paper towards the coffin, and then glanced at the deceased in the coffin, and found that the deceased was lying in the coffin very peacefully, and there was no strange face before, which made me breathe a sigh of relief, bent down to the deceased, roughly said what happened, and said to the deceased that Song Qianxi hoped that the funeral would be lively.
After saying this, I took out the yin and yang hexagram and threw it to the ground, disappointed that the hexagram showed the yang hexagram, which meant that the deceased was still thinking about something in the yang world.
I thought about it for a while, all the things that should be prepared for this funeral have been prepared, and the things that should be explained have been explained clearly, what is there to dissatisfaction with the deceased?
Suddenly, I remembered an incident, and I wanted to slap myself a few times, Made, how did I forget about it. (To be continued.) )
