Chapter 22: Caught

Chapter 122 Catched

After the relatives cried, Xiao Yu found a bowl of noodles from the kitchen, then bowed to the coffin, and then picked up the noodles with a pair of chopsticks, and then placed them on the altar on the brazier.

The noodles are called "沪河间". Noodles and rice can be used. Change them once a day. It is also the last food that the deceased receives in the world, so it is called "沪沪河间". After the "沪沪沪", the Fang Dou is used to measure rice at home. Each family has it. Most of them are fine sand. However, newly dead people do not have a fixed yin ground, so they must be consecrated for Fang Sheng so that the dead people can receive the incense, otherwise they will not be able to receive it.

After Fang Sheng was consecrated, it was a brazier, which was a common mud and clay pot, which could be bought in an incense shop. The name of the deceased must be written on the basin, otherwise the deceased would not be able to receive it. After doing these, you should open your eyes and ears to the boys and girls, let them listen and read more.

Xiao Yu and his grandfather have been in many places, so they are already familiar with these processes. He knows what time to do, so it is easier to do. It is just that the Taoist performs rituals. At dawn, he has to perform a ritual to invite the gods. This process is more complicated, and it must be in the second half of the night, at dawn.

So this ritual is a very hard thing. Some Taoists live far away and have to stay here for a day or two, so the fees will be higher. Fortunately, Xiao Yu's family is close to Grandma Wang's house, so he doesn't have to wait here for a night.

After a woman dies, her family will usually buy a sedan chair and a sedan chair husband. After a man dies, he will mostly have tall horses, as well as gold and silver mountains. These things must be consecrated, otherwise it will be useless.

Everyone stood in the distance, watching Xiao Yu holding the paper man, muttering words in his mouth, holding three incense sticks in his other hand, constantly gestured on the ears, noses and mouths of the paper man, and his hands, feet, etc. He took all the paper man's steps. After understanding his facial features, Xiao Yu came to the half-human-high sedan chair.

He took out the cinnabar pen, Xiao Yu put a little on the top of Jiaozi, then drew a few talismans on all sides of the sedan chair, and then he missed it. Then there was a house. The houses of this paper man were basically the same. The two-story building looked pretty, but it was hard to say whether it looked like this after going to the underworld.

After a lot of work, it was already past eleven o'clock, and then the filial piety began to sing, and some children had already been taken home by adults, leaving behind either the elderly or some young people playing cards.

Xiao Qiang waited until Xiao Yu finished it before he hurriedly met him and said, "How is it? Is it okay? If I had known that it was so troublesome, I would ask Master Bai to help me. The two of them would get it faster."

"Dad, it's okay. It's done right away. You go home and sleep. Just leave the door behind." Xiao Yu looked at his masterpiece and nodded with satisfaction.

At this moment, Xiao Xue came out from somewhere and grabbed Xiao Yu, then raised her hand and went to hit Xiao Yu. Fortunately, Xiao Yu was not that weak, so she avoided the other party sideways, but her clothes were still caught by Xiao Xue.

All this came too suddenly. Xiao Qiang didn't understand what was going on. He saw Xiao Yu want to hit Xiao Yu, so he hurriedly went up to stop him and said, "Xiao Xue, what's wrong? Xiao Yu is doing things, so he has something to say."

"Uncle, it's not that I want to hit him, it's that he scolded me today, and I have to take revenge."

"A gentleman doesn't act. Why are you a girl like a shrew every day? Whoever you see is beaten?" Xiao Yu said angrily.

"Uncle, listen, what he said, I..."

When Xiao Qiang heard this, he immediately glared at Xiao Yu and said, "How do you speak? Xiao Xue is your sister. How can you speak casually? Apologize quickly."

Xiao Yu glared at Xiao Xue and saw that the other party was so angry that he was like a little hen, he was immediately happy, but on the surface he still pretended to say, "Sister Xiao Xue, I said the wrong thing to me."

"Oh, Xiao Yu, have you peeked at something again? Otherwise, why would Xiao Xue hit you?" A group of young people around him started to cheer.

"That's right, but Xiao Xue hasn't seen her for half a year and is getting angry. If this continues, who dares to marry you?"

"Shut up, no one will marry you, so I'll meddle in other people's business." Xiao Xue grabbed Xiao Yu with one hand and pointed at the man who was talking with the other hand, and said with an unkind look on his face.

Grandma Wang's son heard that it seemed like a quarrel outside, and immediately ran out. Then he saw Xiao Xue grabbing Xiao Yu and frowned and said, "Xiao Xue, Xiao Yu is a mage. Do you want your Grandma Wang to rest when you make trouble like this?"

This sentence immediately scared Xiao Xue to let go of her hand, but her face was still unkind and said, "Uncle, he is just a liar, don't be deceived by him."

When the people around him heard this, they were immediately happy. Someone couldn't help but joked, "Xiao Xue, why did you say this? Could it be that Xiao Yu is lying to you?"

"You..." Xiao Xue was speechless, then glared at Xiao Yu and said, "Wait for me, I'm not finished with you." After leaving a sentence, Xiao Xue came to Grandma Wang's spirit, knelt wherever she kowtowed three times, and then left angrily.

Seeing Xiao Xue leaving, Xiao Qiang turned around and said, "Xiao Yu, what's going on? When did you provoke her?"

"It's not about the cornfield. He heard her scolding her today!"

"Okay, hurry up and go back to bed..." Xiao Qiang urged.

Next, Xiao Yu pressed some yellow paper on the coffin and added some oil to the oil lamp. Then he went home to sleep. However, he greeted Grandma Wang's son and asked him to call him at dawn, so he still had to do the things to invite God.

Xiao Yu had just taken a nap when Grandma Wang's son came to knock on the door. Xiao Yu then went to Grandma Wang's house. At this time, at Grandma Wang's house, there were some elderly people and Grandma Wang's family members. After all, the guards were a waste of energy, so many people stayed until the middle of the night and then went home to rest.

Xiao Yu wore a Taoist robe, took a handful of incense and candle, inserted it on all sides of the yard, then went home to get a roll of paper money, lit it on the incense, and then stood at the door and said, "One requests the gods from all directions to protect the people from all directions, two requests the gods from all directions to the land of the mountain gods, three invites Guanyin from the South China Sea to save all sentient beings and accompany the souls of the dead..."

There are many gods to invite. You must basically invite all the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, gods, generals and immortals all over the sky. This is just something left by the older generation's rituals. Xiao Yu actually doesn't believe it. Not to mention the gods from all directions, it is probably the black and white Yin Shi in the underworld, and people don't have time to come, let alone Guanyin. If Guanyin is so busy, then he has time to accompany a small mortal.

After I finished the work of asking God, I was half done. Before I could produce the spirit, I still needed to send God to God, so this is not over yet, but today I can rest well.

After finishing, Xiao Yu ate something at Grandma Wang's house. He originally wanted to continue taking a nap, but in the end he still didn't sleep. Instead, he went up the mountain, asking the mountain god how they practiced, and where there were more spiritual energy in the mountains.
