Lady's Love Letter GL

Chapter 11 Set up a stage to sing

On the day of mother's funeral, most of the famous people in Chang'an City came to Jingfu to express their condolences.

My three elder brothers and I knelt in the main hall lined up. Behind us were Aunt Cao and other concubines and brothers and sisters of common people. We thanked the guests together with our father standing in front of the coffin.First the three princes, then Gao Taishi, Fan Guogong, General Cui, and then the six ministers, the doctor of the royal family, the servant of the door, the prince of the country offering wine, etc., up to the emperor's relatives, down to the wealthy households in the city and the wild, until I kneel down to my feet Stiff and numb, the family's thanks are over.

Nowadays, there are more than [-] Taoist temples around Chang'an city, and Taoism is so prosperous among the people that most of the funeral ceremonies need to invite such high-level people to do it in order to comply with the rules.Although my mother has always believed in Buddhism, my family still invited Daoist Meng who has emerged in Chang'an City in recent years.After the family members and guests were seated, Daoist Meng walked out slowly from behind his mother's coffin.His disciples quickly set up the altar in the hall.The deacons who serve scriptures, incense, lamps, chimes and bells are well-trained and take their positions.Bells, drums, and bells sounded. Meng Dao held the law enforcement sword in his hand, and the wind was blowing under his feet.

"Heavenly Venerable is merciful and quick to save the people, and all the ghosts of the Nine Nights have left." Meng Daochang chanted something, and every time he chanted a sentence, the rhythm of the drums changed according to his chanting, and his disciples also changed the phalanx in the hall , changed from the Liuhe formation to the Bagua Liangyi formation, and then became the Twelve Capitals Tianmen formation, which is dazzling.

The drumbeat became faster and faster, and the flames of the candles on the altar grew higher and higher. Originally, only Daoist Meng was chanting, but gradually the disciples in the square began to chant along.The sound of human voices urging the drums, and the sound of drums chasing human voices pushed this ceremony to a climax.

"The sensitivity of Nangong on the path, everyone will be inaction!" Daoist Meng jumped up from the spot and shouted.The flames suddenly turned into two human figures, burned straight to the roof, and cast a huge shadow in the lobby, the atmosphere was extremely strange for a while.The people present had never seen any rituals, big or small, and they all knew that such a situation was really unusual.At this moment, the sound of instrumental music also stopped, and his disciples stopped their movements.Everyone looked at the two figures in shock. Daoist Meng suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, covered his chest with his hands, and fell to his knees.He showed pain on his face, as if he was suppressing the discomfort, he tried to stand up again, and said, "Mrs. Jing doesn't want to walk alone like this."

The aunts from Cui’s family were commotion when they heard the sound, while General Cui looked at my father steadfastly. The rest of the people knew that it’s not good to meddle in other people’s family affairs, and those with high positions such as Gao Taishi and Fan Guogong only looked dignified and kept silent. Sound, the third prince is young and has not been deeply involved in the world, so when he sees that they are silent, he will do good.I turned my head and glanced around, and the Jing family who were still moving suddenly fell silent.

The atmosphere in the lobby was solemn, the elder brother and the second elder brother stood up, walked over with their father to hold Daoist Meng, and his father asked, "I don't know how to resolve it?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Yu and Mu Xue, who were sitting behind me, suddenly pushed down the chairs, making a few bangs to attract attention.They stood up like this, both of them closed their eyes tightly, and stretched their arms suddenly.He was chanting something similar to mantras indistinctly, and he could only vaguely distinguish the words "He who has a head will surpass, and the man without a head will survive, kill with a spear and sword, jump into the water and hang a rope."Aunt Cao was stunned and had no time to stop.When the servants were about to stop them, Dao Meng said loudly, "Don't stop them."

The father understood and waved his hand to signal.

I saw Mu Yu and Mu Xue walking towards the front of their mother's coffin in a strange and incomparable posture, and then they both knelt down, with a shrill voice, "Kneel in front of my stage, let the gossip shine, and go away from you, surpassing the other side..."

These are obviously not things that children can read.

Daoist Meng looked at them, and under his father's anxious gaze, he hesitated to say two words, "Surrender."

"Meng Daochang, you have to make this clear." Grand Master Gao finally spoke, and the third prince also followed suit.General Cui wanted to say something, but he seemed to be held back by the people from the Cui family. My mother passed away suddenly. The reason of sudden illness has long made them dissatisfied. How to dispose of it.

Meng Daochang sighed, and said, "Mrs. Jing still has nostalgia for the world. Only by burying a living person can she go on the road with peace of mind. The two figures in the flames just now are the two daughters of Master Jing's family. They were killed by Mrs. Jing." Chosen, and now has lost his mind."

Without waiting for others to refute, Daoist Meng continued, "You don't have to believe it, but please don't be offended. The poor Taoist could stand by and watch, but he is willing to take a huge risk to say these words."

Daoist Meng had just finished speaking when the young servant Siqi who was standing in the hall suddenly became dazed and fell limp on the ground, muttering, "Ms. , making a fuss and refusing to leave." Before he finished speaking, he was dragged away by other servants. Aunt Cao was so anxious to rush forward, I saw my father glanced at her with a strong warning in his eyes It meant that Aunt Cao had no choice but to hold back and dare not move easily.

After a moment of panic, there was another moment of silence.Everyone was waiting for my father and General Cui to speak. General Cui did not speak. He was looking at my father's sincerity for my mother's death, while my father was hesitating whether to openly offend the Cui family.

I got up slowly, approached the two younger sisters, and knelt down in front of the crowd, "As the legitimate daughter of the Jing family, my mother's own flesh and blood, if my mother is really in trouble, then I should and am willing to replace the two younger sisters." Go to accompany mother." Every word and every sentence resounded loudly.

The third brother was the first to get anxious, rushing over to pull me up.

"It's ridiculous!" Father's voice was several times higher.

The people below couldn't sit still anymore, the hall was noisy for a while, and there was no lack of dissatisfaction with Daoist Meng and the Cui family in their words.

I listened to the whispers of the people around me, and looked at my father who was still hesitant, and thought it was really ridiculous.

it's time.

I raised my head and looked out of the main hall, a white figure came from the main entrance, as if it came from the nine heavens.

It's so beautiful, as expected, the person I like.

Her arrival attracted everyone's attention. I leaned close to the third brother's ear and whispered, "That person's surname is Bai, and he has a deep knowledge. She and I are friends." Tong Tong hurriedly greeted him, and introduced, "This is Mr. Bai, a master Taoist who lives in seclusion in the mountains. My sister and I were fortunate to have been favored by Mr. Bai." stand up.

Bai Xuan made a slight bow, and said in a clear voice, "Nowadays, His Majesty is kind and generous, and the funerals regulated by the royal family seldom die. You and I should follow suit. What Taoist Meng said is by no means deceitful, but this matter is unnecessary. in this way."

After she finished speaking, she raised her left hand and moved her fingertips slightly.I looked in the direction she was pointing at, and the two little paper figures placed next to my mother's altar suddenly seemed to come to life, and their limbs moved rhythmically.After careful observation, the two paper figurines were actually saluting the spirit card, just like two real children.

Everyone present, including Daoist Meng, was dumbfounded when they saw this scene.

After the whole set of ceremony was finished, she waved her hand lightly and read, "The world is full of bitterness and suffering all night long, and the three troubles are in the middle of it. The fire comes out of the throat, and the hunger and thirst are often hung. The willow nectar water dispels the heat and cools down. The method of purifying the bottle, The soul god gave birth to Daluo." Her voice, her appearance, made people unable to tell whether she was a mortal or a universal god.As if with a force as warm as water, the soaring flames on the altar gradually extinguished, and I felt a sense of peace in my heart.

"Compassion crosses all waters and moistens everything. The nectar sprinkled on the world will relieve the suffering of a lifetime. Go." The voice lingered, and the two paper figurines slowly floated out of the lobby and into the sky. My two younger sisters also Their faces cleared up, they stood up, and ran to Aunt Cao's side in small steps, holding Aunt Cao's hand with wide eyes, acting coquettishly, no different from usual.

"Okay, okay, okay." Grand Master Gao got up from his seat, "Mr. Bai is really a master with paper figurines instead of living people." Fan Guogong snorted coldly and said, "I don't know what advice General Cui has?" The general didn't want to talk about anything else, so he also praised Bai Xuanwei.Bai Xuan nodded with a smile, and calmly helped me up who was kneeling on the ground.
