The next morning, a main hall in Wuliang Taoist Temple had been decorated as a mourning hall. A coffin was placed in the main hall. There were incense burners and tributes on the altar, as well as a black and white photo of Duan Wuyu. At the same time, Yang Jingyi and her daughter Duan Yingying also
Disciples Xu Lingwei, Qi Wu, and Li Zihang were kneeling aside in mourning, burning paper money...
Standing on the other side were Chang Wude and Wuweizi. The two elders also had sad faces. Wan Yunting, Kang Nolan and other disciples also stood beside them. As Mr. Gui was supported by a disciple, he walked in and looked at
In Duan Wuyu's coffin, the old man also showed pain on his face...
Yang Jingyi did not decide to announce Duan Wuyu's death to the public, nor did she invite people from other sects to come over to pay their respects, mainly because she did not want to trouble others.
Therefore, only the disciples of our sect are mourning for him...
At this time, Qu Guangrong came in with Lu Feiyue and the others. He received the news of his master's death in the morning. Qu Guangrong rushed over immediately. He came in and looked at the master's coffin and black and white photos. Qu Guangrong's eyes instantly turned red and he knelt down directly in front of his master.
He kowtowed three times in front of the coffin. Tears already fell from his eyes. He couldn't even believe that the master was gone like this.
Zhou Ruoxi and Jiang Tingxia stood outside the entrance of the Taoist temple with other disciples of the Taoist temple. The two women also informed the master about Duan Wuyu's death. The head of the Emei Sect also called Yang Jingyi and expressed his intention to come in person, but Yang Jingyi refused.
, so Zhou Ruoxi’s master could only comfort Yang Jingyi on the phone...
Until noon, with Master Gui leading the way, Wan Yunting, Li Zihang, Qi Wu and Qu Guangrong personally carried Duan Wuyu's coffin out of the hall and headed towards the back mountain of Wuliang Mountain...
It was still snowing heavily today, Wan Yunting and four others carried Duan Wuyu's coffin, and Master Gui took them away.
Mother and daughter Yang Jingyi and Duan Yingying were wearing linen and mourning. They had been watching last night and cried all night. Now their faces are haggard and they have no tears to cry.
Chang Wude and Wuweizi wore black cotton robes and white cloth belts around their waists, as did Qu Guangrong and other disciples who followed behind them.
The disciples in green robes had white cloth belts tied around their waists. Zhou Ruoxi and Jiang Tingxia were also walking at the back with several Taoist sisters and sisters. The group of people walked slowly along the passage with Duan Wuyu’s coffin.
Go to Wuliang Mountain and see the tombs where the ancestors of Wuliang Taoist temple are buried...
After walking for almost an hour, with two stops in the middle, Wan Yunting and Qu Guangrong finally carried Duan Wuyu's coffin and followed the ghost master to the cliff cave in Wuliang Mountain, in front of the mourning hall enshrining the ancestors of all generations.
"stop!"
Master Gui shouted, and Wan Yunting, Qi Wu, Li Zihang, and Qu Guangrong slowly placed the coffin on the ground.
The ghost master walked in front of the spiritual tablets enshrining the ancestors of all generations, and then began to burn incense and said: "Dear ancestors, the thirty-fourth generation disciple Duan Wuyu, whose Taoist name is Mu Qing, has come to find you now. You are under the underworld, but
You need to take more care of him..."
After hearing what Mr. Gui said, mother and daughter Yang Jingyi and Duan Yingying knelt on the futon on the ground and started sobbing again.
Chang Wude and Wuweizi's old faces were full of sadness, Wan Yunting's face was also full of sadness, and they stood aside silently...
In order to bid farewell to Duan Wuyu, Ghost Master began to perform rituals in front of all the ancestors...
Li Zihang, Qi Wu, Qu Guangrong and other disciples had already knelt down, especially Xu Lingwei, the disciples who were close to Duan Wuyu, were already in tears.
The other disciples were also kneeling on the ground with their heads lowered and their faces filled with sadness. Wan Yunting and Kang Nolan, as well as fellow apprentices Zhou Ruoxi and Jiang Tingxia, were waiting silently for Master Gui to finish performing Duan Wuyu's method.
He shouted: "Enter the grave!"
Suddenly, a disciple in charge of setting off firecrackers immediately lit firecrackers on the other side of the cliff. The sound of the firecrackers seemed to tell the ancestors of Wuliang Taoist Temple here to accept the arrival of Duan Wuyu's soul...
Immediately, Wan Yunting and Qu Guangrong, who were responsible for carrying the coffin, along with Qi Wu and Li Zihang, lifted Duan Wuyu's coffin. As Master Gui opened the stone door, the four of them carried the coffin into the dark stone chamber...
This is the space where Master Gui lives on weekdays. There is only an old wooden bed, a small table, and a wooden cabinet. There are many messy things piled in the corner. Wan Yunting has no time to look at these now.
They carried Duan Wuyu's coffin and followed the ghost master. Yang Jingyi, Duan Yingying, Xu Lingwei, Chang Wude and Wuweizi also followed, but the other disciples could only wait outside.
I saw Master Gui opening another big stone door, and this was the official entrance to the tomb space where the founders of the Wuliang Taoist Temple were buried. It was very large and dark inside. As Master Gui asked Chang Wude and Wuweizi to light the fire
The oil lamp in the tomb...
Immediately, they saw more than eighty coffins of various sizes, made of different styles and materials, neatly placed inside. Wan Yunting, Qi Wu, Li Zihang and Feng Yuxiu's eyes widened.
Give them a creepy feeling.
Moreover, there was a special magnetic field in this huge tomb, but it was not a gloomy feeling. Instead, there was a kind of awe-inspiring righteousness, which made Wan Yunting feel weird and had an indescribable feeling.
"This is Wuyu's position, put it here."
Master Gui was carrying an oil lamp, and Wan Yunting and the others were carrying Duan Wuyu's coffin. He pointed to an empty seat on the right side of the stone door. There was a specially built base for the coffin on the ground. There were holes in the stone slabs below, which seemed to be
For drainage.
As for this position, in fact, after Duan Wuyu became the master of the temple, it was already determined that his future coffin would be placed in this position!
The reason why there are more than 80 coffins in this tomb is that not only the masters of Wuliang Taoist Temple are qualified to be buried here, but other Taoist ancestors such as uncles and uncles are also qualified to be buried here.
inside.
Among them, right next to Duan Wuyu, the coffin above is Master Gui’s senior fellow apprentice Ren Taoist!
"put."
As Master Gui finished speaking, Wan Yunting and Li Zihang, who were carrying Duan Wuyu's coffin, slowly lowered the coffin according to the position of the base. The coffin was also suspended ten centimeters from the ground to prevent the wood from getting close to the ground.
And cause moisture or termites or something.
Apparently, the ancestor had already designed it when he started building the tomb.
"Woo, daddy..."
Watching her father's coffin being lowered, Duan Yingying ran over and lay on it, crying bitterly...
"well…"
The ghost master shook his head, bent his thin body, turned around and walked out, saying: "Come out, don't stay too long, lest you disturb the ancestors."
Chang Wude and Wuweizi nodded, waved to Wan Yunting, Qu Guangrong and the others, asking them to go out quickly...
"Sister-in-law, Yingying, let's go out too."
Wuweizi went over and pulled Duan Yingying back, who was lying on her father's coffin. Chang Wude also reminded Yang Jingyi. Her old red eyes looked at her husband's coffin reluctantly, and then she supported her crying daughter and left the tomb together.
…
As they came out, Master Gui called Wan Yunting and slowly closed the heavy stone door.
Seeing Yang Jingyi and Duan Yingying crying, Master Gui said: "Okay, you all can go down and come back after three days."
"Yes, Grandmaster Uncle..."
Chang Wude and Wuweizi, together with Wan Yunting, Qu Guangrong and other disciples, bowed respectfully to Master Gui, then took Yang Jingyi and Duan Yingying out of the stone room and greeted the disciples outside to go down the mountain in an orderly manner...
The ceremony of burying Duan Wuyu came to an end...
Returning to the teacher's gate at the foot of the mountain, Yang Jingyi was supporting her daughter and heading back to her residence. She immediately asked Xu Lingwei to take Yingying away first, and she looked back at Chang Wude, Wuweizi, Wan Yunting and the others, and said in a hoarse voice: "Chang
Junior Brother, Junior Brother Wuwei, I would like to ask you to take care of the Taoist temple affairs these days."
"Don't worry, sister-in-law, we will take care of the Taoist temple affairs. You can go back and rest first, but you are overworked."
Chang Wude nodded and said.
"Well, that's troublesome."
Yang Jingyi bowed slightly, Chang Wude and Wuweizi nodded, then she turned and followed Xu Lingwei and her daughter...
"well…"
Wuweizi sighed when he saw his sister-in-law going back alone, and then turned around and waved to the disciples behind him: "Everyone, please go back and tidy up."
"It's Uncle Master..."
The disciples went back one after another to pack up the unnecessary things arranged in the hall...
"Senior Brother Chang, where should our Wuliang Taoist Temple go from here?"
Wu Weizi followed Chang Wude back to his residence. Wan Yunting, Kang Nolan, Qu Guangrong and Lu Feiyue also followed...
Immediately, Wan Yunting thought of something and turned around to look at Zhou Ruoxi and Jiang Tingxia who were following in the distance, so he trotted over and said, "Senior Sister Zhou, Senior Sister Jiang, you should go back and rest first. I will come find you later."
"Okay, Junior Brother Wan, then Senior Sister Zhou and I will go back."
As Jiang listened to Xia's words, Zhou Ruoxi glanced at Wan Yunting with gleaming eyes, nodded slightly, and without saying anything, she and her junior sister turned around and headed back to their residence.
Wan Yunting watched them turn and leave, then turned back and chased Chang Wude and the others...
