After his relatives finished crying, Xiao Yu found a bowl of noodles from the kitchen, then bowed to the coffin, then picked up the noodles with a pair of chopsticks, and then placed them on the altar table above the brazier.
Noodles are called tau-tou rice. Noodles and rice can be used. They are changed once a day. It is also the last food for the deceased in the mortal world, so it is called tau-tou rice. After the tau-tou rice, the square dou for placing incense and candles must be consecrated. The square dou is used to measure rice at home.
Every household has the necessary things, and most of them are fine sand. However, there is no fixed netherworld for newly deceased people, so they need to be consecrated so that the deceased can receive the incense, otherwise they would not be able to receive it.
After Fang Sheng's consecration, there is a brazier, which is an ordinary clay pot that can be bought in incense shops. The name of the deceased must be written under the pot, otherwise the deceased will not receive it. After doing this, give
Open the eyes and ears of boys and girls, let them hear more and see more.
Xiao Yu and his grandfather have been on many occasions, so they are already familiar with these processes. He knows what to do at what time, so it is relatively easy to do it. It's just that when Taoists do things, they have to do it at dawn.
The process of doing the ritual of inviting gods is relatively complicated, and it takes place in the middle of the night and at dawn.
So this practice is a very hard work. Some Taoists live far away and have to stay here for a day or two, so the fees charged will be higher. Fortunately, Xiao Yu’s house and Grandma Wang’s house are relatively close, so
He doesn't have to wait here all night.
After a woman dies, her family usually buys a sedan chair and bearers. After a man dies, he usually buys a tall horse, gold and silver mountains, etc. These things must be consecrated, otherwise they will be of no use.
Everyone stood in the distance, watching where Xiao Yu was holding the paper man, mumbling words, holding three incense sticks in his other hand, and kept making gestures on the ears, nose, and mouth of the paper man, as well as his hands, feet, etc.
After moving all the paper figures and understanding their facial features, Xiao Yu came to the sedan chair that was half a person tall.
Taking out the cinnabar pen, Xiao Yu put a little on Jiaozi's head, and then drew a few talismans on the four sides of the sedan chair. Then he came to the house. The paper houses are basically the same. The two-story buildings look like
It's quite beautiful, but it's hard to say whether it will look like this after going to the underworld.
After a lot of work, it was already past eleven o'clock, and then those who sang filial piety began to sing, and some children had already been taken home by their adults. The ones left behind were either old people or some young people playing cards.
.
Xiao Qiang waited for Xiao Yu to finish, then hurriedly approached him and said, "What's up, are you okay? If I had known it would be such a troublesome thing, I would have asked Taoist Master Bai to help. The two of us can do it faster."
"Dad, it's okay. It will be finished soon. You can go home and sleep. Just leave the door open." Xiao Yu looked at his masterpiece and nodded with satisfaction.
At this moment, Xiao Xue came out from nowhere, grabbed Xiao Yu, and then raised her hand to hit Xiao Yu. Fortunately, Xiao Yu was not that weak and avoided the opponent sideways.
, but the clothes were still grabbed by Xiao Xue.
All this happened so suddenly, Xiao Qiang didn't even understand what was going on. When he saw Xiao Yu was about to hit Xiao Yu, he rushed to stop him and said, "Xiao Xue, what's going on? Xiao Yu is doing something, please talk to me if you have anything to say."
”.
"Uncle, it wasn't me who wanted to hit him, it was him who scolded me today. I must take revenge."
"A gentleman talks but doesn't use his hands. Why do you, a girl, act like a shrew all day long, hitting anyone you see?" Xiao Yu said angrily.
"Uncle, listen to what he said, I...".
When Xiao Qiang heard this, he immediately glared at Xiao Yu and said, "Why are you talking? Xiao Xue is your sister. How can you talk casually? Please apologize quickly."
Xiao Yu glared at Xiao Xue, and when he saw that the other party was as angry as a little hen, he suddenly felt happy, but on the surface he still pretended to say, "Sister Xiao Xue, I said the wrong thing to you."
"Hey, Xiao Yu, did you peek at something again? Otherwise, why would Xiao Xue hit you?" A group of young people around him shouted.
"That's right, but I haven't seen Xiao Xue in the past six months, and my temper is getting bigger and bigger. If this continues, who would dare to marry you?"
"Shut up, no one will marry you and will not marry you, mind your own business." Xiao Xue grabbed Xiao Yu with one hand and pointed at the man who was speaking, with an unkind expression on her face.
Grandma Wang's son heard what seemed like a quarrel outside and ran out immediately. Then he saw Xiao Xue grabbing Xiao Yu and couldn't help but frowned and said, "Xiao Xue, Xiao Yu is practicing magic. You are making such a fuss because I don't want you to
Will Grandma Wang have a rest?"
As soon as these words came out, Xiao Xue was so frightened that she let go of her hand, but her face was still unkind and she said, "Uncle, he is a liar. Don't let him fool you."
When the people around him heard this, they immediately became happy. Some people couldn't help but joked, "Xiao Xue, why did you say that? Could it be that Xiao Yu lied to you?"
"You guys..." Xiao Xue was speechless for a moment, and then she glared at Xiao Yu and said, "Just wait, I'm not done with you." After saying that, Xiao Xue came to Grandma Wang's soul and knelt there for three times.
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, finish it quickly 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 before going home to sleep. However, he greeted Grandma Wang's son and told him to call him at dawn. It was still a matter of asking God.
to be done.
Xiao Yu had just taken a nap after returning home when Grandma Wang's son knocked on the door. Xiao Yu then went to Grandma Wang's house. At this time, there were some old people and Grandma Wang's family members sitting in Grandma Wang's house, keeping a vigil after all.
It is a demanding job, so many people stay until late at night and then go home to rest.
Xiao Yu wore a Taoist robe, took a handful of incense candles, and put them on all sides of the yard. Then he went home and took a roll of banknotes, lit them on the incense, then stood at the door and said, "First, please invite the gods of the four directions to protect the people of the four directions. Second, please invite the mountain gods to land."
, invite Guanshiyin from the South China Sea three times to save all living beings and accompany the souls of the dead………….”
There are many gods to invite. Basically, you have to invite all the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, gods, and immortals in the sky. These are just things left by the older generation's rituals. Xiao Yu actually doesn't believe it. Let alone the gods from all directions, they are probably Yincao.
The black and white handsome man has no time to come, let alone Guanyin. Guanyin is so busy, so she has no time to accompany a little mortal.
After finishing the work of inviting the gods, this ritual is half done. Before the spirit is released, the gods still need to be sent, so this is not over yet, but today I can take a good rest.
After finishing the work, Xiao Yu had something to eat at Grandma Wang's house. He originally wanted to take a nap, but in the end he didn't sleep. Instead, he went straight up the mountain, asking the mountain gods how they practiced and what they had in the mountains.
The local spiritual energy is relatively abundant.
