Brother is a bit bored

At twelve o'clock in the night, there are two small rituals. The first one is for the Dao Gong to recite scriptures, and a pair of virgins and boys are required to be sent by relatives of the deceased to deliver sacrifices.

According to Dao Gong's request, everyone set up two offering tables in the open space in front of the house. The distance between the two tables was about five or six meters, and there were several dishes of offerings on the tables.These offerings are made of raw animal internal organs and toothpicks that look like small animals, some like mice, some like dogs, and there is also a piece of fruit, peanuts, rice and white wine.

The so-called transfer of sacrifices is to let the selected virgins and boys move the mutual offerings on the two altars back and forth four times according to Dao Gong's instructions.

This small ceremony of sending sacrifices to each other actually means sending the best wishes of the deceased old people to their descendants.

After delivering the offerings, there will be a ceremony of "stepping on the lantern".

"Stepping on the lanterns" is to place four or seven lanterns in front of the hall of the deceased's home, and then all the Taoists hold their magic tools and shuttle back and forth between the lanterns regularly while chanting scriptures.

The implication of stepping on lanterns is to light the lamps and open the way for the dead on Huangquan Road.

********

The next day is the funeral.

Before the funeral, the filial man knelt down and let the coffin pass by. The eldest son led the flags, followed by other relatives and friends. He also asked his family to "block the road sacrifice" on the road, set off firecrackers and scattered banknotes along the way.

Lu Jingyang and Meng San led the funeral procession to the cemetery for burial. At the bridge and fork, Lu Jingyang signaled his relatives to drop the white cloth and coins.

This is to be used as road money for the deceased.

The cemetery was at the foot of the mountain, and everything was going well at first, but when everyone was passing by a corn field, a person who was carrying the coffin accidentally sprained his foot, and the coffin was bumped and tilted to the side.

Lu Jingyang and Meng San rushed to help adjust the coffin.

"Let's go." Lu Jingyang said and signaled Meng San to ring the bell, and continued on the road.

"Oh, it's so heavy, I can't lift it..."

"Me too... I can't do it!"

Before everyone had gone far, the four people carrying the coffin immediately let out a low cry.

Apparently the sprained ankle just now startled the person inside the coffin, and now it's causing trouble for everyone.

Before Lu Jingyang and Meng San could express anything, an older person in the team cursed, "What's the trouble, if you make trouble again, I'll leave you here!"

Everyone rested for a while, and soon the shoulders of the coffin bearers felt lighter again. It seemed that the elder was quite experienced in this kind of thing, and he really frightened the old lady.

Just as they were about to reach the cemetery, another funeral procession descended from a distant mountain.

Lu Jingyang looked at the cemetery that had been selected for the old man before, and saw that there was a new pit near the cemetery.

It is indeed a coincidence that the cemetery is so close and they are buried in the same day. I hope that they will not affect each other when they are buried later.

Lu Jingyang ordered someone to put the coffin into the pit, and asked a filial man to hold the mud in his mouth and put it on top of the coffin.

Lu Jingyang and Meng Sanming's relatives arranged the offerings, and then began to chant scriptures.

Another funeral procession soon arrived at their cemetery.

However, just as they were about to put the coffin into the pit, a wild dog suddenly sprang out from nowhere in the distance, and rushed towards the crowd aggressively.

"Ah, everyone, be careful of wild dogs biting people."

"Throw a stone at it and drive it away."

"Keep it near the coffin!"

Because of the sudden appearance of wild dogs, there has been chaos over there.

"Wild dogs blocking the way, it's so fierce!" Meng San murmured.

Seeing that Mengsan was still watching the fun, Lu Jingyang said, "Stop beeping, save people!"

Meng San reacted, took the wat from Lu Jingyang's hand and threw it towards the wild dog in the distance.

Lu Jingyang, "!!!"

"boom!"

"Wow - woo!"

The sound of the wild dog being hit and its screaming and falling to the ground sounded at the same time.

The expression on Lu Jingyang's face was indescribable.

Meng San felt that it was because of his calm and indifferent personality, if someone else could decide to go up, he would rush up and punch and kick him to relieve his hatred, after all, the magic weapon is the guy who eats for the Taoists!

Everyone, "..."

There was a lot of fuss over there, screaming everywhere, knocking over all the offerings, who knew that Meng San would just smash something and get it done.

"The magic weapon that has been turned on is different. Such a big wild dog will faint immediately." Facing Lu Jingyang's inexplicable expression, Meng San was able to joke around leisurely, as if challenging the limit of his patience.

Lu Jingyang came back to his senses, and said in a voice that only each other could hear, "Can't you throw stones?"

Meng San has no sense of doing anything wrong, "How can a stone be as easy as your wat?"

Lu Jingyang was speechless, but he didn't intend to pick up the wat by himself. He didn't know whether he felt it was disrespectful or... disrespectful.

Meng San also followed him to pretend to be profound, but his mouth was not serious, "Grandpa left a lot of things, if it really breaks, I will accompany you with someone who is more convenient."

Lu Jingyang said solemnly, "Back then, Master told me a lot that you were a prodigal. I didn't believe it then, but now I do."

If Meng Qi knew that Meng San took his magic weapon and promised to give it away casually like this, he would probably be so angry that he wanted to jump up from the coffin and kick him!

Meng San was about to reply, when a young man in white linen in the funeral procession had already picked up the wat on the ground and brought it to Meng San, "Master... Senior brother, you are so powerful, you can still kill wild dogs from such a distance. Knocked out!"

Everyone here respects Daogong as Shigong. Although Meng San is 25, but because of his hairstyle and appearance, he looks like he is in his early twenties, so the young man choked in the middle of his sentence and changed his name to "Senior Brother".

Meng San didn't care about this, and pointed to Lu Jingyang with a smile and said, "It's my senior brother's magic weapon. It has been activated, and it can kill your head with one blow with your eyes closed."

Lu Jingyang, "..."

It’s probably Meng San’s kind of thing to talk about getting cheap and being nice.

But Lu Jingyang didn't seem to have a temper with him.

The Daoist fellow on the other side saw the young man go to make a relationship with Meng San and the others, he obviously felt embarrassed and his face was gloomy.

But before he had time to attack, he was attacked by the family members of the deceased, and everyone gathered around him to ask for an explanation.

"Wild dogs blocked the way during the burial. It's obviously not a good day. You took the money but didn't give us a good job. It's too much!" A slightly older filial man said, pointing at the old man.

Lu Jingyang and Meng San have almost finished their work here, they just need to wait for everyone to pile up the grave and they will chant the scriptures again, but seeing the Dao Gong on the opposite side being surrounded, Meng San's heart that likes to watch the excitement begins It's messed up.

Lu Jingyang saw that his eyes were always looking there, and reminded him again, "Take it easy."

"I'll just see if he will be beaten." Meng San didn't think it was a big deal to watch the excitement.He even grabbed Xiao Nan who was at the side and asked, "Do you know that Taoist?"
