From the World of Uncle Nine, The Heavens Summon Gods to Refining Generals

Chapter 152 Dang

"No need to be polite, everyone, please get up quickly."

Shen Lipu quickly helped his dutiful son up. Seeing this, the others also stood up one after another.

"Thank you, Taoist Priest, otherwise I would have been in trouble today."

"Yes, yes, we were all helpless, Taoist Master, you just handled it casually, that's amazing!"

Everyone praised Shen Lipu with every word. Anyway, good words cost no money, so it doesn't matter if you say a few more words.

After they had been bragging for two or three minutes, they had basically lost their words, and the room gradually became quiet. At this time, Xiaozi walked up to the front and asked: "Taoist Priest, what do you think is going on?"

"No problem!"

Shen Lipu first waved his hands to everyone to signal them not to mess up. Then he walked quietly to the unconscious woman, opened her eyelids and took a look. Then he took out a talisman and handed it to the person next to him and said:
"You took the talisman and burned it, then put the talisman ashes in a bowl of water and gave her a drink and she would wake up."

"Ah, good Taoist priest."

Upon hearing this, a woman next to her quickly took the talisman from Shen Lipu's hand and hurriedly walked aside.

"What is the relationship between this person and the deceased?"

Shen Lipu pointed at the woman on the ground and asked the filial son.

"Oh, this is my niece."

"Niece..."

Shen Lipu pondered for a moment after hearing the words. He remembered a thing he had heard before. It was probably a person who died, and then inexplicably passed through the Yin Qi and possessed his granddaughter. His mouth was crooked and his eyes were squinting, scaring the people next to him to run away. .

Although this symptom is more serious, the key points are similar. First of all, it is the granddaughter. Since this person is the niece of the filial son, she must be the granddaughter of the deceased. Secondly, the Yin Qi has passed when she is about to be buried, and she is possessed and makes a fuss. mourning hall.

This official name is "Bumping", which usually happens when the old lady dies and bumps into her granddaughter. Oh, it's so unreasonable. It only bumps into the granddaughter. You can't say the other sons, daughters, daughters-in-law, grandsons, and granddaughters. Not at all, basically one in a million.

The reason why they like to bump into granddaughters is actually well-founded, because if the ghost of a newly deceased person does not die unjustly, the soul will actually be very ignorant, confused, and stupid at the beginning.

At this time, it is very easy to regard the granddaughter as the daughter when she was a child, and then want to see her again. When combined with other factors such as time of day, fate, horoscope, zodiac, etc., it will cause trouble.

But this is not possessed by a ghost, but a special state. Under normal circumstances, people cannot die. Rolling of eyes, crooked mouth, squinting, etc. are more common. It is the first time that Shen Lipu has seen such a violent commotion today. Previously, Never even heard of it.

"Taoist Master, is this okay..."

Seeing that Shen Lipu was silent, the dutiful son immediately asked anxiously.

Although this was just his niece, she was here to pay her respects. It would be too damned if she really left any sequelae, so he had no reason not to be anxious about this.

"Well, don't worry, your niece will be fine."

Shen Lipu came to his senses and quickly explained to his dutiful son.

"Here comes the water... Give way, give way!"

At this time, the woman just walked in with a bowl of water, walked directly to the unconscious woman, and then glanced at Shen Lipu with her eyes, which meant that she was asking him what should be done more correctly.

"Just open her mouth and drink it. She will wake up after drinking it." Shen Lipu explained to them again.

"Cough cough cough..."

Sure enough, as soon as the Fu Shui was poured in, a coughing sound came from the woman's mouth.

"Hey, hey, wake up, wake up."

When the onlookers saw that the woman had woken up, they seemed to have seen nothing strange, and they called on the people nearby to come and watch.

After the woman woke up, after being reminded by the people next to her, she quickly came over to thank Shen Lipu.

After this little episode, Shen Lipu let them continue with the coffin while she was still waiting to recite sutras.

At this time, a group of people who had just ran out also came back here. They were just scared just now, but this was just a scary person. To put it bluntly, three people became a tiger.

Most people didn't see what was going on at all. They just heard other people say that they were haunted or fake corpses. Seeing that they were running fast, they followed them outside.

There are also some people who are simply dragged out. In short, people are just like animals. In this kind of group environment, if one person runs away, the rest will follow. Everyone doesn’t ask why they are running, they just run away first. Say it again.

But humans are not animals after all. They hid for a while and then came to their senses. What are they afraid of?

They didn't see clearly what there was to be afraid of.

To be honest these days, there are still more courageous people, and they have seen more. Although it is impossible for everyone to have seen famous scenes like Renjia Town, they usually see some semi-supernatural events more or less, and then listen to them A true or false ghost story, or someone hearing about a ghost breaking into a wall, etc. These are actually quite common nowadays.

And because of famine and war, dead bodies are seen all year round in these places. Just like in Shili Town before, it is also very common for dead people to sleep in coffins in broken houses.

So after they came to their senses, they asked each other a few questions and got some air, and found that they didn't know what the strange thing was. They just heard about something minor, so they came back together.

After arriving in the courtyard, seeing that nothing happened, I sighed again. When I heard the steward's greeting, the enclosing ceremony continued, and everyone continued to be busy.

After the deceased was put into the coffin, pillows, stepping stones, and some simple burial objects were placed inside, the coffin was closed and nails were driven in.

In an instant, the Lin family courtyard was filled with mourning again.

When he was done crying, the dutiful son came again to invite Shen Lipu to go out and recite sutras.

There is also something special about this invitation. It is not the kind of shouting outside, nor is it the kind of asking him to come out politely.

Instead, under the guidance of others, he walked to the door, knelt down and kowtowed. Even though it was only these two steps, and it was inside and outside the house, there were still people shouting loudly inside and outside.

"A filial son kowtows politely and asks for mercy from his master."

"Clang, clang, clang."

Three "dang" sounds, this is the magic weapon borrowed by the people next to Shen Lipu, and its name is "dang".

"History of the Yuan Dynasty" says: The Yundang is made of copper in the shape of a small gong, with an outer frame and a long handle. It is held in the left hand and struck with a small bamboo root inlaid with ivory beads in the right hand, beating in accordance with the rhythm of chanting sutras.

After the sound of the clang, Shen Lipu walked out the door directly with the clang in his hand. Unlike Buddhist chanting, Taoism's salvation and other matters are more about "singing" rather than "reading", so when it comes to musical instruments, more emphasis is placed on using them. "Dang" instead of wooden fish.
