After listening to his son's words, the man hurriedly stepped forward, stretched out his hand to shake it with me, and said very kindly: "Master Fang is really young, it is really rare to have such a ability at such a young age." I've heard Dachang talk about you many times, and I've wanted to get acquainted with you for a long time, and it's really a blessing to meet Master Fang today. ”

This man is really good at talking, and I am fluttering.

Since the people were polite, I naturally wanted to be easy-going, so I said a few words to the man at the door.

This person's name is Rong Zhong, his name is ordinary, but his speech and demeanor are decent, which makes people feel ironed, he is definitely an outstanding character, he is rich but can treat people without a fight, this is not something that ordinary people can do, no wonder he is the head of the Rong family's generation.

He is the second in line, the one above is the one who died, and there are three sisters and two brothers below, all of whom are married and married, such as Rong Dachang, there are more than 20 juniors, and the older ones have children.

This Rong family is really a big family.

His old father is still there, he is the one who created a large company from scratch, his mother has been gone for many years, and in the family, the old man is the largest and speaks the most effectively, of course, it refers to the affairs of the family, and the affairs of the company listen to Rong Zhong.

While talking, let me in, and the four gentlemen walked out, gathered behind Rong Dachang, and followed Rong Zhong and me.

These four boys have a very close relationship with the Rong family, no, when something happens, they are brought here by the elders to help.

The villa is registered in the name of Rong Dachang's aunt, so the mourning hall is opened here.

Listening to Rong Zhong, after his eldest sister died, the body was miserable, and he had already found someone to sew it up completely, and changed into a 'wrap', that is, a shroud, and opened a mourning hall, parked the body, and waited for the masters to come and do the rituals, and completed the ceremony step by step according to the established rules.

Rong Zhong whispered to me, when I entered the door, I had already seen the 'money paper' hanging outside the door, which is commonly known as the "flag".

When I walked into the lobby, I saw a lot of people.

Rong Zhong whispered to me, I glanced at the middle-aged man with a sad face at the front, and learned that this person was Rong Zhong's eldest brother-in-law, that is, the husband of the deceased, named Dong Cheng, and also a successful businessman, however, he was attached to the Rong family's property to live, and he came to the Rong family in his early years, so the children born must follow the surname 'Rong'.

The two men and two women who followed Dong Cheng were not very old, the eldest was twenty-one or twelve, and the youngest girl was only fifteen or sixteen years old.

In the early years, Dong Cheng went to the Rong family upside down, and there was such a follow-up, and the children could not follow their surnames, which was the biggest unfilial piety in the hearts of more traditional people.

Of course, people who don't have old ideas don't care about this.

The three children are all outstanding in appearance, and the young man is tall and magnificent, a hundred times stronger than Rong Dachang. The two girls were beautiful and moving, and they were both sad and pitiful at this time.

I glanced at it and withdrew it.

Looking at the location of the mortuary, he nodded slightly.

It's all according to the rules, and there's nothing taboo about.

The coffin covered with a white cloth is naturally the deceased, he jumped to his death, it is estimated that the appearance can not bear to witness, after the body is stitched up by the master who is in charge of this link, it is covered tightly, and the visitors are deeply frightened.

The position of the corpse's head facing the door of the hall was placed very formally. In front of you is a special offering table, where the boiling lamp is lit, and the fruits are arranged, as well as offerings such as cereals and pastries.

The 'inverted rice' filled with food and placed on the chopsticks is also ready, and it is placed horizontally on the incense table, and the 'inverted incense' lit at both ends curls up with smoke, which looks normal, and the smoke goes straight up, and there is no sign of demonism.

Paper money ingots were burned in the clay pot placed in front of the table, and the Rong family hoped that the deceased could live a prosperous life in the underworld.

I looked back at the scorched black marks on the snow outside the door, and knew that they had burned the 'inverted sedan chair', and the Rong family desperately hoped that the deceased would take the sedan chair to report to Yin Si as soon as possible.

The best coffins are placed and waiting to be buried.

The funeral hall is arranged to meet the specifications, and items such as glass mirrors are covered with white cloths, which is to prevent the soul of the deceased from being ingested by mirrors and other things and not leaving the house.

There is a hole in the window frame, which is a passage for the souls of the deceased to go to the underworld.

During the mortuary period, it is most taboo to avoid animals such as cats and dogs, and strictly prevent these animals from approaching the deceased, so as not to defraud the corpse.

The Rong family itself understands this, and they haven't invited a master, they have already arranged the head of the mourning hall is the Tao, it seems that the most important job of the masters is to transcend the death soul, and the rest, people themselves understand better than ordinary masters.

At the foreground is an oversized black-and-white photograph of the deceased.

I looked at it, frowning.

This is a very beautiful woman, although she is in her forties, but she is well maintained, and she looks like a woman in her thirties, the kind with great taste.

However, there is a sense of intimidation on her face, such a woman is extremely strong, and her heart is very narrow-minded and intolerable, and she is very egoistic.

It must be very hard to be married to such a woman.

glanced at Dong Cheng, who seemed to be very sad, without a trace, and suddenly found that his eyebrows seemed to be beating with a relieved look, although it was well hidden, I still observed it, and I couldn't help but feel a shock in my heart.

There is no harmony between these two!

continued to observe the three children, one man, two women, and found that they were the same as Dong Cheng, they all looked relieved, this is the feeling brought out by body language, only people like me who are used to observing can find it, and the relatives and friends of the Rong family can't find it.

Quietly retracting his gaze, his heart was curious, but he knew that this was not the time to listen.

There is no formal condolence yet, so naturally there is no need to go to the incense, just passing through the mourning hall, he was taken by Rong Zhong to the side of the reception room, and here, there are already several 'masters' leading the apprentices to sit and wait.

Seeing Rong Zhong come in, the masters all nodded politely, but instead of standing up to greet them, their apprentices stepped forward to say a few words.

Rong Zhong's respectful return salute was not angry because the masters 'took the big', which shows that he is very self-contained.

I nodded to the 'masters'.

They nodded perfunctorily, and then turned their faces away from me in arrogance.

Seeing my half-white hair, they naturally knew that I was a white-haired ghost master, but what the Tao pays attention to is my background and qualifications, I am a casual apprentice, and I have not been in the industry for a long time, although I am a little famous, but in the eyes of these masters, there is still not much weight, at least, there is no formal sect background, it is enough for them to criticize, so, people can nod perfunctorily, it has already given me face, what else is not satisfied?

Of course, I won't be angry about this, the world is cold and warm, and the competition between peers is normal, so it's normal to be excluded and looked down upon.

Silently walked to the empty seat on the side and sat down, and the waiter in charge of tea brought fragrant tea and fruits.

"The five masters have arrived, please drink tea and chat here, and I will go and invite the old man to meet the masters."

"Amitayus, donor, please." An old Taoist priest who is over half a hundred years old made a joke and dealt with it casually.

"Amitabha, the old man has not seen Rong Tanyue for a while, if I remember correctly, he is eighty-eight years old, it is really blessed, good, good, this is the blessing of the Buddha."

An old monk with a shiny scar on his head, a white beard, and a robe came up with his hands folded.

"Yes, yes, I haven't seen Mr. Rong for a long time, but I miss it so much."

The middle-aged man in a Tang costume should make peace.

His long thief eyebrows, this dignity is very famous in the Tao, it must be the 'Mr. Fengxiang' of Xiangyun Pavilion.

The Xiangyun Pavilion opened by this person and the store opened by Qin Huaran are one, both of which sell some blessing supplies and mascot items, called 'Mr. Fengxiang', and Qin Huaran's 'Mr. Longjing' are right, and those who don't know think that Wolong and Phoenix Chicks are reborn.

Of course, he is a time-honored brand, very qualified, and his master is also very good, it is said that he is a disciple of 'Daizong', and he is very good.

The only ones who didn't speak were me and the other master.

The rest of the master let me take a few more looks, because this is a woman in her thirties, a woman in a Tang costume.

Her hair was tied up, and her posture was ordinary, but she sat there with a bit of a sense of calming the scene, and she didn't talk to the other three 'masters', she tasted tea by herself, and closed her eyes when she put down the tea cup.

The onmyoji industry has always been dominated by men, but it is not an absolute man's world.

With just one look, I knew who this woman was.

This is a very famous female master, the reason why she is so famous, mainly because she was born in'Maoshan Fumen', it stands to reason that this should be my senior sister, but unfortunately, people will not recognize my identity, Maoshan Sanzong does not recognize Maoshan Ghost Gate, my current identity is a loose cultivation.

This woman's name is Luo Ying, she is very famous in the city, and the signboard of Maoshan Fumen is extremely loud.

I sighed deeply and withdrew my gaze.

It was supposed to be a senior sister, but ......? Forget it, don't think about it, it's not beneficial.

"Chang He Daoist ...... politely, Hongji presided, my father often mentions you...... Mr. Fengxiang, my father was clamoring for me to go to you to purchase a batch of items a few days ago.......

Master Luo, Master Fang, use some casually, and the hospitality is not thoughtful and forgiving....... ”

Rong Zhong responded smoothly, and retreated politely while talking, and the door was closed, but he didn't neglect any of the five.

I looked at the five gentlemen sitting beside me, and whispered to Rong Dachang: "Your father is really a master of dealing with people, you are far behind, they all say that the tiger father has no dogs, but you ......, alas." ”

I shook my head, disdain.

Rong Dachang's face turned red in an instant.
