My master is invincible

Chapter 1837 Yin Yang Rice (41)

But I saw that there was a black bag inside the wooden box, a human head was exposed at the mouth of the bag, and a thin piece of red paper was covered on top of the head.

Of course, that's it, it certainly won't scare me.

The crux of the problem is that there are some messy things drawn on the red paper, which looks like some kind of beast or a human face.

I subconsciously moved the phone towards the red paper.

With the help of the weak light, I suddenly discovered that what was painted on it was neither a beast nor a human face, but a word.

That's right, just one word.

Strictly speaking, it is a compound character, (due to the restriction of the income law, this character cannot be typed.) It consists of four characters, which are Lucky Fortune and Treasure.

To be honest, these four words are quite common in the countryside, and they are usually posted on the front of the door as a horizontal batch during the Spring Festival.

But, now it is actually stuck on top of the human head.

Ma De, this is a terrible crime!

I cursed secretly, my scalp went numb, and a legend suddenly came to my mind. This legend is about covering the face of a dead person with paper.

This kind of covering paper is commonly known as face covering paper. According to rumors, after a person dies, a face covering paper needs to be used to cover the face.

The reason is that people believe that the face covering paper is a paper that separates yin and yang. If the face paper is not used to separate yin and yang after death, the deceased will not be able to enter the underworld. Lonely ghost.

There is also a saying that using face coverings can judge whether the deceased is in suspended animation, and if the death is suspended, the breath can be released to move the paper, and it can be rescued and revived.

Of course, in addition to this, there is another saying, which originated from the Ming Dynasty. It is said that after the Ming Dynasty perished, the elders of the Ming Dynasty felt that they had no face to face their ancestors after death, so they ordered the descendants to cover their faces with a piece of paper. Over time, this practice has become a custom.

However, to be honest, the statement about this face paper may be due to his background as a coffin bearer. I personally believe in the first one.

And when we coffin bearers do funerals, we usually follow the first method.

But, in this way, a problem arises.

As for the face covering, what kind of paper to cover, where to cover, and what to cover have become mysteries.

According to the custom of our coffin bearers, we usually choose white paper. The length of the white paper is about [-] centimeters and the width is [-] centimeters. With the nose of the deceased as the midpoint, the white paper is covered on the nose so that the ears of the deceased exposed. (The reason is to let the dead hear the voice of the descendants.)
In terms of paper selection, the best choice is coated paper, which has a smooth surface, high whiteness, uniform distribution of paper fibers, and uniform thickness. It is used to cover the face of the deceased, which means blessing.

However, since this kind of coated paper is not often used in daily life, the most convenient writing paper is generally used for paper selection.

To put it bluntly, the current custom is to treat face coverings as a process, and rarely pay attention to details.

Honestly speaking, I have been a coffin bearer for so many years, and I rarely pay attention to this detail.

I didn't think of these things until I saw the four characters on the face paper.

I took a deep breath, held the phone, and looked at the paper for about a minute, only to find that the face covering not only had four characters, but also a symbol drawn at the four corners, which was *.

Seeing this, my brows became more and more wrinkled.

It's strange, how could such a strange thing be covered, ordinarily, the face coverings are usually white or yellow, something like this is definitely a big murderer.

Why would the child's father build such a vicious thing on his child.

For a while, I really couldn't figure it out, but I do know a little about this kind of face covering with pictures.

According to rumors, there can only be two kinds of people when there are images on the face covering paper, one is the Ninth Five Supreme. Signaled to the sky, to put it bluntly, I hope that I can still be the Ninth Five-Year Lord in my next life.

There is also a kind of vicious person. After this kind of person dies, it may be considered shameless to face their ancestors, and they cover their faces with pictures, which can be regarded as a shame.

Of course, then again, after such vicious people cover their faces with pictures, they basically have no hope in their next life and can only be lonely ghosts.

However, the problem now is that the deceased was a child, and it was extremely inappropriate for his parents to cover him with such a face covering no matter from which point of view.

At that moment, I took a deep breath. I really couldn't understand the reason, so I looked under the car. The driver was standing in the car, smoking a cigarette.

Seeing my eyes, he quickly asked: "Little brother, what's the matter, did you find it?"

I frowned and didn't say a word, mainly because I was afraid that speaking out would only increase my troubles. Besides, Zheng Xiguan and the others were still watching from the sidelines. Once I said it, I was worried that they would be afraid and cause extra problems.

Considering this, I just stared at the driver meaningfully, and said softly, "Are you sure you want to take this box back?"

He hummed and said, "Little brother, I told you the reason earlier, I hope you can see it..."

Before he finished speaking, my tone sank, and I said, "That's fine, but I'm afraid the box can't be left here, it has to be hung up with a red rope, otherwise, I'm worried that the car might not be able to drive."

When the driver heard this, he quickly said: "Okay, little brother has the final say, just let me take this box away, and you can take care of the rest."

Seeing that he agreed, I didn't say much. I closed the box first, and then zipped it up.

To be honest, I thought about taking off the face covering on the kid's face, but I gave up on that idea because I couldn't get into trouble.

After finishing the box, I bent down and tentatively pushed the box. It didn’t sink, and it weighed about forty catties. fragrance.

I stared at the box for a while and jumped out of the car without saying anything.

According to my idea, the box should be completely tied up with a red rope, and then a hemp rope should be found to hang the box on the left side of the truck compartment. Together, something will definitely happen.

Considering this, I first asked Zheng Xiguan and others to guard the corpse of Old Madam Yuan, and then I pulled the driver to the side, and basically greeted him, telling him not to tell Zheng Xiguan and others about the corpse.

After greeting all this, I went straight back to Mrs. Yuan's house.

When I got back to the house, I didn't dare to stay long at all. I found some red and hemp ropes, as well as some yellow paper, candles, and ingots, and went straight back to the truck.

Back beside the truck, I didn't dare to hesitate, and immediately said to the driver: "Come on, get in the car, and give me a hand."

When the driver heard it, he squeaked for a long time, but didn't hold back a word.
