Chapter 168: An Unusual Scene
Li Wei, who was already sweating profusely, had to follow Miss Li's instructions and carefully put a piece of shiny and fresh jade cicada from the tray and put it in the old man's mouth, calling it Fenhan. Then he took gold ingots from the tray and put it on the old man's right hand, took some jewelry, and put the gems on the old man's left hand.
After doing this, Li Wei's body shaking and his face was pale. Chen Jiangtao went up to support him. Miss Li took another red and white quilt in her hand. According to Master Ruan's instructions, Li Wei strongly supported himself to put the white side as the inside, and the red side as the watch on the old man's body.
Master Ruan walked to the coffin, walked around the coffin, muttering something, and after stopping, he said to the servant beside him: "Fighting the tail!"
After hearing the instructions of Master Ruan, everyone removed all the items that had been placed in front of the old man's feet, such as the tail plate, the tail paper and the eternal light. Then another group of people stepped forward and began to quickly arrange the mourning hall.
These people were divided into two groups, one of which closed the curtains that had just been opened to the east and the opened windows. Then the four of them supported a square white cloth, and at the same time, nine bamboo poles were inserted around the coffin, so that the entire white cloth could separate the coffin from the outside.
Another group of people were busy setting up some spiritual positions, portraits, spirit tables, offering soul silk and soul banners for a series of worship purposes.
After the spirit table and incense table were arranged, Master Ruan took the lead in front of the incense burner and lit three incense sticks at the spiritual position. He bowed three times at the same time. Then Li Wei, who was instead of the filial son, raising incense and worshiping, and then Miss Li and others came over to worship one after another.
At this time, Master Ruan walked to Chen Jiangtao and the other two with three incense sticks in his hand and handed them to Yu Xu first. Yu Xu was about to come forward to worship, but when Chen Jiangtao stopped him with one hand, he glanced at Yu Xu, then stared at Master Ruan and said, "We are just assistants, and we are not obliged to burn incense."
Chen Jiangtao knew very well that when Li Xiang was alive, he heard from his master that everything has its own spirituality, just like a statue of gods. Once it is contaminated with a certain amount of incense, spirituality will appear. But it does not mean that only the statue of gods can appear spirituality. Some bad "things" will also appear spirituality when they are incense, and these spirituality will react to those who worship it.
A good spiritual effect is a good thing, and a bad spiritual effect is a bad thing. In short, don’t worship something with incense.
Master Ruan glanced at Chen Jiangtao, turned his head and said coldly: "Are you believers?"
"What believers? We are members of Feng Shui Club, this is our president." Miao Li stepped forward and answered.
Miao Li saw that Master Ruan’s aggressive intentions were a little dissatisfied. Everyone had things that were willing or unwilling to do. As long as they did not involve rigid regulations, they had the right to choose. Although the "believers" he said did not know what it was, it must be related to the things that were just gods and ghosts.
After hearing Miao Li's answer, Master Ruan did not say much, turned around and inserted three incense sticks into the incense burner. At this time, he looked up and saw Li Wei coming towards the opposite side. He smiled on his face and said to Li Wei: "Mr. Li, do you want to take a break? Now there is nearly an hour and a half before the official funeral."
Li Wei looked at his watch and it was now 8:30. According to Master Ruan, the official funeral should be 10:00. After some tossing and causing trouble just now, Professor Li Wei was obviously exhausted and kept yawning.
Seeing this, Chen Jiangtao hurriedly walked to Li Wei's side and said carelessly: "Professor Li, do you want to go back to the room to rest for a while and come back until ten o'clock?"
Chen Jiangtao was calm on the surface, but he showed only normal concern, but in fact he was afraid that Li Wei would have an accident. Chen Jiangtao saw some clues. Li Wei had fallen asleep early yesterday, but after just after the burial ceremony, he was in a bad mood, which made Chen Jiangtao think of some folk taboos.
Li Wei nodded, and Chen Jiangtao helped him leave.
Master Ruan became sinister and he just politely made a move. Unexpectedly, Chen Jiangtao would take Li Wei away; Miss Li on the other side also had an ugly expression, but it was not easy to stop him, so he could only watch Chen Jiangtao help Li Wei away.
When he came to Li Wei's room, Chen Jiangtao asked in a low voice: "Professor Li, do you feel uncomfortable?"
"It's okay at the moment..." Li Wei was stunned when he said this, and his heart seemed to be a little furious when Chen Jiangtao asked. He stared at Chen Jiangtao with wide eyes and asked, "Why did you ask like this?"
Chen Jiangtao was afraid that Li Wei would think too much, so he did not answer him directly. He handed Professor Li Wei a glass of warm water with concern and said, "That's good." While handing over the water, Chen Jiangtao leaned against Li Wei and looked at him, and found a faint gray black spot on Li Wei's seal hall...
"Well, I hope to finish these things as soon as possible." Li Wei sighed, exhausted, and did not expect it to be so cumbersome. He said to Chen Jiangtao apologetically: "Hey, maybe I shouldn't bother you with me this time. The funeral customs here are really troublesome. At the same time, I think the person who hosted the funeral is not very friendly to you."
"Yes, I also felt the unfriendly what the professor said, but I really don't understand why they did this? We didn't know each other at all."
Chen Jiangtao was very confused about this, especially Master Ruan. This man was not only unfriendly to Chen Jiangtao and others, but could even feel a little hostile.
In Shen Jiangtao's view, he is in Qing'an City, northern China, and Master Ruan is in Vietnam. The two have never seen each other before. They are thousands of miles apart, so there is no possibility of any connection.
He pondered in his heart, and felt something pressing on his shoulder. Looking over, he found Professor Li Wei leaning on his shoulder drowsyly. Chen Jiangtao shouted in surprise: "Professor Li!" At the same time, he raised his hand and pushed him.
Looking at Li Wei's spirit, he became even more depressed. The faint gray and black on the seal hall had turned into dark black, and the dark black area was still expanding and deepening.
Li Wei shook his head, then opened his eyes again, yawning constantly, turned his head and saw Chen Jiangtao staring at him, and immediately said uneasy: "Did you see something wrong with me?" He said while grabbing Chen Jiangtao's hand. In his opinion, if there are any strange and evil symptoms, Chen Jiangtao is his life-saving straw.
