I'm really not a magician

I don't know. I was startled. My face became almost the same as yesterday. Although it wasn't so white, it was abnormal.

Even the red and swollen face on the right side is only swollen but not red, while the place where Zhao ruoxian kissed yesterday on the left face is slightly bloody.

"Hurry up, don't miss the hour." the master urged with a small Gong in his hand. After that, he knocked directly.

I didn't have time to think too much. I picked up a trumpet and a guide flag, walked to the front of the team and shouted, "light the gun, let's go ~ ~"

The crackling sound of firecrackers sounded, and a group of people walked towards the earth temple. Master and martial uncle followed me, one beating gongs and the other beating drums.

In the back are Du Zeming and his brother carrying a basket of offerings. Du Yi follows behind, holding her mother's portrait in his hand. The relatives and friends behind follow in mourning, holding a sponge cushion in their hands.

The Du family is not far from the local temple at the entrance of the village, so we can start at 7:30.

After playing a mourning trumpet, I turned around, waved the guide flag in my hand and shouted, "send sorrow ~ ~"

Except master and martial uncle, all the relatives and friends behind knelt down and cried loudly.

Mourning is an important part of funeral etiquette. Confucian etiquette, derived from Zhou rites, rose in the Han and Jin Dynasties and became more popular in the northern and Southern Dynasties. It has been inherited for more than 1000 years. It is a major feature of funeral customs in the Confucian cultural circle of China and even East Asia.

Mourning is to place the mourning for the death of relatives in the form of crying and commemorate the life deeds of the deceased in the form of singing. When going to funeral or worship the temple, someone must cry, especially future generations, otherwise it will be regarded as disrespectful.

The sound of mourning is also very important. It is said that if the dead are not accompanied by the cry that resounds through the heaven and earth on the huangquan Road, it will be a laughing stock in dozens of miles around, and their future generations will also be regarded as unfilial and rebellious.

The louder you cry at the funeral, the greater the sadness and the more prosperous future generations will be. Therefore, generally rich families will invite professional mourners to help cry together. Lao Du's family also invited three professional mourners.

The voice of professional mourning is very loud, and it can also interpret sadness, and the income is not poor. It takes less than an hour to get 100 yuan.

Worshipping the temple is a complicated process. Every 50 meters, you have to do sacrificial rituals when you go to the earth temple. All your immediate relatives have to make divination one by one. Finally, you have to make a public sacrifice and beg the earth father-in-law to bless the people in the village for peace and a long life.

Although I presided over the temple worship for the first time, I didn't make any mistakes during the period, because I saw my grandfather preside over it too many times and was familiar with it for a long time.

Because the temple was near, we rushed back to Du's house at 8:30, and the meals were ready. Because it was buried in the afternoon, we didn't have to eat together with the whole village for breakfast.

After dinner, I specially went to the mourning hall to see the body, turned my hand out of my sleeve, and my nails had completely blackened and become very sharp.

This time, without turning your lips, you can vaguely see two sharp teeth sticking to your lower lips.

The tusks are an inch and a half, and the black armor is an inch and a half long.

This is about to reach the condition of corpse change, but it will be fake only when the Yin is strong after dark.

I picked up a piece of white cloth next to the coffin and covered it on the body. Then I sorted the white cloth a little to make sure it was completely wrapped. Only then did I tell the people around me that the coffin can be covered.

The two men lifted the coffin and covered it. Master and martial uncle picked up the coffin nail and hammer and prepared to nail the coffin.

I quickly said, "don't nail it yet."

"Why? Master Qin just said to fill the earth in three days." master asked suspiciously.

I shook my head and said, "seal the coffin when filling the earth. In addition, only direct descendants can be kept in the mourning hall. Others can't enter the mourning hall before burial."

"What has the final say?" said master, who had no doubt about the way to collect his tools.

They don't understand this kind of corpse change. If the coffin is sealed now, the corpse after the corpse change will flush the coffin at the first time. The corpse can strengthen its body by flushing the coffin, which is equivalent to a process of breaking the cocoon into a butterfly and rebirth. Once the coffin is flushed out, it is more difficult to pay.

If you let it change naturally and do not experience the complex and difficult coffin flushing, its strength will not be strengthened. As long as it is fast enough, it will be well subdued.

However, there is no need to make these things so clear to them so as not to cause unnecessary panic. Naturally, the fewer people know, the better.

Although they are professional scientists and Taoist priests, they usually don't have an accident, but once there is an accident, they have to kill master Gong to solve it privately. They can't help.

After the coffin was covered, I didn't take care of it anymore, because I was too tired. I had to deal with the corpse change at night. It would be difficult if I didn't rest well during the day, and I also needed to prepare something to fight the corpse.

When I got home, I was ready to rest and refresh myself. I set the alarm clock at 2 p.m. and fell asleep in less than a minute.

I don't know how long I slept. I was awakened by the cry of rhubarb. I quickly got up and looked at it. It was only 11 o'clock. I had some doubts. Rhubarb generally didn't cry during the day. It would only call a few words unless someone with bad intentions wanted to come home. The purpose of the call was not to bite people, but to remind me and grandpa.

"Lao Qin, Lao Qin, open the door." a familiar voice came. I thought a little. It seemed to be my best high school classmate Zheng Kangkang.

"Zheng Kangkang?" I shouted quickly. This guy is my only good friend in high school. He is 1.87 meters old and weighs 0.1 tons.

He is the largest person in our school. He is very righteous and careless, but he is also very noble. He doesn't like the people who grind and chirp, but he plays well with me. In high school, I was often teased by Du Yi and his gang. Zheng Kangkang came out for me.

Zheng Kangkang once liked Du Yi. After being rejected by Du Yi, he also fell in love with Zhao ruoxian like me.

I haven't seen him for more than a year after graduation. I'm very happy that he can come. I suddenly feel sleepless.

"Yes, yes, it's me. Hahaha, open the door quickly." Zheng Kangkang said in a loud voice.

Seeing me talking, rhubarb didn't call again. I quickly got up and opened the door. Only then did I see two male students from outside besides Zheng Kangkang.

One of them is Qian Liexian, a rich childe in the county. He is Du Yi's boyfriend in high school. I don't know if he is still together now.

Another is Chen Liang. He is a pure bastard. He knows to pick up girls and fight all day. People who love learning a little are not willing to play with him, but he has a good relationship with Du Yi. He is called Du Yi's boyfriend.

The relationship between these two people and me is very general. They haven't played much together, especially Zhang Liang. We also fought a war. In high school, I was teased by them. Once they slandered me for stealing money and almost expelled from school.

I can understand that Zheng Kangkang came to me, but I don't know why they came.

"Why? Not welcome?" Qian Liexian asked with a smile.

I smiled and said, "no, the old classmates are coming. It's too late to be happy. Come on, come in and do it."

I quickly opened the door and invited them in. Zhang Liang said, "Qin yihun, your dog is good. Do you sell it? I'll pay 500."

"Don't sell it. I've been raised for several years and have deep feelings." I replied with a smile.

Zheng Kangkang cut and said, "don't talk to Chen Liang, Lao Qin. After graduating from high school, he went to his father's dog meat shop. You have to give him the dog and it will soon become dog meat."

Hearing Zheng Kangkang's words, I immediately understood why rhubarb wanted to bark. It turned out that he was a dog butcher. He was very angry. I frowned and said, "Chen Liang, don't think about rhubarb, or I won't finish with you."

The reason why I say this is because dog thieves often appear in rural areas, and those who steal dogs cooperate with Chen Liang and his gang who open dog meat shops. It's hateful.

Chen Liang hurriedly said: "no, no, I can't do that. We all buy at a reasonable price and will never force buying and selling."

I smiled, took out some melon seed candy and said, "three old classmates, I haven't seen you for a long time. There's nothing delicious in this family, just a lot of these things."

"Understand, your family cheated the dead for money. Your family can't eat all these white things." Qian Liexian said with a smile.

As soon as I said this, my face suddenly cooled down. Zheng Kangkang patted the table and said, "if you two want to make a sarcastic remark here, you should get out of here. It's been more than a year since your mother graduated, but the dog can't change to eat shit."

"How the fuck did you talk?" Zhang Liang turned and looked at Zheng Kangkang.

Zheng Kangkang directly stood up and said, "I just talk like this. It's OK to joke in front of me. I make such a funny joke here in Lao Qin. I just look unhappy. What's the matter?"

"If the girls over there didn't get together and take us to play, the devil wouldn't bother to come here." Zhang Liang said directly.

Qian Liexian gave a dry smile and said, "all right, all students. Why? By the way, yihun, I heard you have become a divine stick now?"

Hearing the word "divine stick", I was a little upset, but I nodded: "yes, it can be regarded as inheriting my ancestral heritage."

"Oh ~ ~" Qian Liexian nodded thoughtfully and asked, "that must be a lot of money? The magic stick can cheat people most. I'm a little short of money recently. Lend me some money?"
