Liu Yuanxing, a native of Daliuzhuang, is 64 years old and the same generation as Liu Daye's father Liu Yuanqi.
In fact, it's like living in a village in the human world. They are all basically from the same origin.
For example, Liu Yuanxing's great-great-grandfather and Liu Yuanqi's great-great-grandfather were brothers, but they separated their families during his grandfather's generation, so they became two-bedroom people.
Everyone who lives in a village is more or less related to each other by blood, although after several generations, the blood relationship has become very weak.
Today Liu Yuanxing went to graze cattle on the north hillside early in the morning. In the afternoon, as the sun set, Liu Yuanxing drove his cattle down the north hillside and went home.
Halfway through, Liu Yuanxing met Liu Dazhi who had come to herd cattle again. Liu Dazhi was a generation younger than Liu Yuanxing, but there was not much age difference between them.
Liu Dazhi is sixty-two years old this year, only two years younger than Liu Yuanxing. However, Liu Dazhi, who looks only sixty-two years old, looks older than Liu Yuanxing.
When Liu Yuanxing saw the vicissitudes of Liu Dazhi's face, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. This Liu Dazhi was an honest man, and he was also an honest man after giving birth to a son.
So the result is that this honest father and son are tightly controlled by the woman at home.
This woman is Liu Dazhi's daughter-in-law, Mrs. Hu. Ever since she married into Liu Dazhi's family, she has tightly controlled the entire family.
Moreover, this woman was very unfilial. She disliked her father-in-law Liu Dazhi for being old and would not let him serve at the table. She only allowed Liu Dazhi to eat half a bowl at each meal. Moreover, Liu Dazhi did not work and was not even given a meal.
If there is work to do at home, Liu Dazhi has to do 70% of it. If there is no work to do at home, he will go to herd cattle and cut grass. Anyway, he cannot be idle. If he is idle for a day, he will have nothing to eat.
Liu Dazhi's son was also an honest man and could not control the Hu family at all. Even the people in Daliuzhuang often couldn't stand it and kept gossiping behind his back.
Mr. Hu is also very arrogant. If he hears anyone gossiping about him, he will definitely block your door and scold you all day long.
The only person in the village who is not afraid of the Hu family is Liu Yuanqi. Liu Yuanqi often calls Liu Dazhi to his home for dinner. Liu Yuanxing sometimes does the same, otherwise Liu Dazhi would have starved to death.
"Uncle Yuanxing." Although they were about the same age, they still had seniority, so Liu Dazhi immediately rushed over and shouted when he saw Liu Yuanxing.
Liu Yuanxing responded with a smile, then drove the cow aside, sat down on the spot and said, "Come, sit down and have a rest."
"Okay." Liu Dazhi nodded, drove the cow aside to graze, then put a stone on the ground and sat down.
Liu Yuanxing took out half a piece of cake from his cloth bag, handed it to Liu Dazhi and said, "I haven't finished the cake baked by Huiying yet. I'm too lazy to carry it back when I take it back. Come on, let's eat it."
Huiying was Liu Yuanxing's daughter-in-law, and she was filial and gentle. Liu Dazhi was not polite and took most of the pancakes that Liu Yuanxing had broken for him and ate them.
While eating pancakes, the two chatted about where the grass was good and where the land was fertile. Finally, they talked about Liu Daye's encounter with wild animals when he went into the mountains.
"I had known something was wrong with Daye. Daben and Huiying had already visited the house. I haven't seen it yet. If I can go tomorrow, I will go and have a sit." Liu Yuanxing said.
Liu Dazhi smiled and said: "I went to see it. Daye is fine. He is already running around."
Liu Yuanxing nodded and said: "That's good, that's good."
While talking, Liu Yuanxing raised his head and looked down on the path halfway up the north hillside. He saw the fields below were stacked like ladders. The setting sun shone red on the north hillside. The mountains were as green as emeralds, and insects and birds were chirping softly in the fields.
Looking further down, we can see the village of Daliuzhuang. At this moment, the village is filled with smoke and quiet.
Liu Yuanxing picked a piece of thatch and picked his teeth, then said leisurely: "I have lived enough in this life. My children are filial and my grandchildren are smart. I have nothing to regret."
When Liu Dazhi heard this, an extremely simple smile appeared on his face. The smile squeezed out the traces of time on his face and piled up ravines, "Uncle Yuanxing is so lucky." Liu Dazhi said sincerely.
Liu Yuanxing laughed, and then looked in all directions on the northern hillside again. Then he suddenly felt excited, raised his hand and patted the land under him and said: "This place is good, this place is good!"
Afterwards, Liu Yuanxing and Liu Dazhi got up and hurried down the mountain. On the way down the mountain, Liu Yuanxing was in a very good state of mind for some reason. He even sang country songs with great energy.
The two separated at the entrance of the village and drove their cattle back home.
Liu Yuanxing put the cow into the pen and then walked into the house. His daughter-in-law was wearing an apron. When she saw Liu Yuanxing coming in, she said, "Dad, please rest for a while. We will eat soon."
"Okay." Liu Yuanxing nodded, and then walked into his room. He suddenly felt a little tired, so he took off his shoes and lay on the bed to rest for a while.
Liu Dazhi returned home after keeping the cow. When his daughter-in-law, Mrs. Hu, saw him coming back, she gave him a cold face and said, "The rice is on the stove."
Liu Dazhi didn't say anything, walked to the kitchen silently, and opened the sieve on the stove. Under the sieve was a bowl of leftover rice, half a bowl of rice, half a bowl of vegetables, that's all, whether you like it or not.
Liu Dazhi picked up the bowl, took out his chopsticks and walked out. He squatted in the yard and started eating.
When he was about to finish his bowl of rice, he suddenly saw a white figure appearing at the door of the courtyard. Upon closer inspection, he found that it was Liu Yuanxing's son Liu Daben.
Liu Dazhi was stunned for a moment, because Liu Daben was wearing white linen clothes and a filial piety hat on his head. Liu Daben knelt down at the door of Liu Dazhi courtyard with a plop, kowtowed three times, and then said sadly: "Big brother, My dad...my dad has gone, big brother, if everyone in your family is at home, go to my house and give him a ride."
After saying that, Liu Daben kowtowed three more times, then got up and went to the next house to report the funeral.
Liu Dazhi stared blankly at the entrance of the hospital, forgetting to swallow the food in his mouth.
Why? He was obviously fine when he came down the mountain. He could eat cakes, talk, and sing. Why did he suddenly...
However, Liu Dazhi didn't think too much. He quickly got up and went back to the kitchen to put down the dishes. Then he walked to the main room and said the first words of the day to his daughter-in-law, Mrs. Hu: "Uncle Yuanxing is gone, Hong Jing When you come back, you all go over and help.”
After saying that, Liu Dazhi ran out of the house. When he came to Liu Yuanxing's house, he found that Liu Yuanxing's house had been hung with white cloth and everyone was wearing sackcloth and mourning. Liu Yuanqi's family had come over early and were wiping Liu Yuanxing's body in the house. , change the shroud.
...
"When your life is over, no matter how good your health and spirit are, you have to die." Fang Jian stood at the door of Liu Yuanxing's house and said to himself.
So many people in the world practice and seek immortality, isn’t it just to escape reincarnation and live forever?
However, Liu Yuanxing's death is what countless people have dreamed of. No illness, no disaster, no pain, just lie down on the bed at home, close your eyes, and leave peacefully. This is also a blessing.
As a foreign guest, Fang Jian did not enter Liu Yuanxing's house rashly, but stood outside and waited.
At this time, people from Daliuzhuang had already rushed over one after another. When Liu Yuanxing's son Liu Daben finished reporting his funeral, he also hurried back home.
When Liu Daben saw Fang Jian outside, he immediately stepped forward and said, "Master Fang."
Fang Jian looked at Liu Daben and said, "I heard that your father has passed away. It just so happens that I am staying in Daliuzhuang temporarily, so I wanted to come over to see your father off, but I didn't dare to go in presumptuously. Brother Daben, my condolences."
Liu Daben's eyes were slightly red, and he choked up when he heard this: "Thank you, Mr. Fang."
Then Liu Daben took a step back, knelt down towards Fang Jian, and kowtowed three times seriously.
This is a folk custom. When an elder in the family dies, the younger ones will go to the homes of relatives and friends in the same village to report the funeral. When they meet, they will first kowtow three times and then explain who in their family has left. Please come to my house to help or sit down.
If others don't 'invite' you like this, you can't go. If they don't invite you, why would you go?
Therefore, after Liu Daben kowtowed to Fang Jian, he formally invited Fang Jian to his home to see Liu Yuanxing off.
After Fang Jian entered Liu Yuanxing's house, the next step was for a group of old people from Daliuzhuang to sit together and talk, deciding on some funeral matters and choosing an auspicious date for the funeral and burial.
Fang Jian could not participate in this process. In the end, Liu Yuanxing's auspicious date was chosen three days later, which meant that he had to stay at home for three days.
Fang Jian stood in the yard. Behind him were two people wearing ghost robes with extremely strong Yin energy. They were the ghosts responsible for seducing souls here.
After hearing the auspicious date for Liu Yuanxing's burial, the ghost messenger on the left said: "Three days from now, it will be seventeen today, that is, the funeral will be held on the twentieth day, and the ghost will be enchanted on the night of the nineteenth."
This is the rule of the underworld. After a mortal dies, if the world has chosen an auspicious date for his funeral and burial, then his soul is allowed to temporarily stay in the body and wait until the night before the funeral to enter the underworld. This is to allow the deceased to accept the fact that he has died in these days. Secondly, it is also the mercy of the underworld, allowing the deceased to take a good look at his family and acquaintances during his lifetime.
Hearing this, another ghost officer nodded and said, "Okay, let's get on the soul-binding rope first."
After saying that, the ghost servant raised his hand, and a soul-binding rope immediately flew down to Liu Yuanxing's body, firmly fixing his soul on the body to prevent it from leaving the body during the suspension period, otherwise when the time comes, It would be troublesome to come back and find the soul.
After doing all this, the two ghost messengers glanced at Fang Jian, then turned around and turned into two ghost auras and flew out of Liu Yuanxing's house and headed towards the Tutu Temple.
After Fang Jian saw the two ghosts leaving, he immediately raised his hand and shot out a fairy light, which fell into Liu Yuanxing's soul. It was his divine thought. With this divine thought mark, when the ghosts were arrested, When taking Liu Yuanxing's soul, he will use
The magical power of "Ruyi Transformation" turned into a soul aura and fell on Liu Yuanxing, and he made a journey to the underworld from the perspective of an ordinary ghost.
This was the focus of his inspection of the lower realm and could not be ignored, so he used his spiritual thoughts to mark Liu Yuanxing's soul in advance.
