Although I can't guess at once why Wang Banxian did this.
But if the soul that was cultivated by Wang Banxian returned to his body, there must be a reason.
Because Wang Banxian always makes decisions before taking action.
Moreover, I now have a vague feeling that Wang Banxian did not show such indifference in front of me when he sent the word "death" twice earlier.
Now, I feel that it was Wang Banxian who deliberately acted like that in front of me.
I just feel that Wang Banxian's death this time is simply full of strangeness and weirdness.
Guan Ting still couldn't guess what it was that made her feel abnormal.
And I'm not going to say it out loud, because I also want to see what happens next.
Wang Banxian would rather give up his body, and even risk death as a inducement. He probably hid his soul earlier, but now that he has returned to his corpse, what are his plans?
Therefore, when faced with Guan Ting's doubts and speculations, I also ignored him and told a lie to let her leave the coffin in the mourning hall first.
And I have been staying here in the mourning hall, waiting for the time to carry the coffin.
At twelve o'clock in the evening, all the people attending the funeral gathered in the mourning hall.
Because according to the rules, women are not allowed to accompany us, so grandma, my mother, and Coffin Ting all have to stay at home and wait.
For them, this is also the last time they can see the remains of Wang Banxian.
On the other hand, those of us who conduct funerals and bury him will still be able to see him again because we have to help Wang Banxian bury him with his wife who has died many years ago.
The eight people carrying the coffin also arrived, and I toasted to them respectively to show my respect for them.
After going through the process of looking at the deceased, the coffin lid was also closed.
However, the nail in the coffin cannot be sealed now. It will have to wait until the joint burial is completed.
The reason why the funeral was held in the middle of the night was to take advantage of this time to bury Wang Banxian and his wife together.
After the eight people carrying the coffin were all carrying the dragon pole on their shoulders, the housekeeper who was specially invited to handle the funeral shouted, "Iori, the coffin-carrying gods, are lifting the coffin!"
After the butler finished speaking, the eight people carrying the coffin began to exert their strength.
As Wang Banxian's "godson", I held the very symbolic "Yin Yang Basin" in the countryside, and when the coffin was lifted, I smashed it.
There are many theories about breaking this thing. Some say that when a person is born, it is called "birth". Now after a person dies, the "pot" must be broken, which is regarded as completing this life with beginning and end.
There is also a saying that the purpose of throwing this basin is to let the deceased leave early, so that the soul can go to the underworld and cross the Naihe Bridge without wasting time.
And this basin is equivalent to the bowl used in Meng Po's soup. The purpose is to make her forget the past and leave without any regrets.
Anyway, the meaning of "breaking the mourning basin" is also a kind of respect for the deceased.
I also stood at the entrance of the courtyard, waiting for the coffin to be lifted up, and the head of the pole greeted me, and I could break the basin.
But after the butler said, "Lift the coffin," more than ten seconds passed, but I didn't hear any sound from behind me.
This made me feel "thumped" in my heart for a moment, because supposedly there were coffin bearers, Yagami, carrying the coffin together, so the coffin should have been lifted.
When I looked back, I found that the eight people carrying the coffin were struggling to lift the coffin that was placed on the dragon pole, but the coffin did not move at all.
Seeing this, I quickly walked over and came to the coffin.
"What happened?"
I asked immediately.
"I don't know! I just can't lift it! It's too heavy!"
The coffin bearer Lao Zhang said to me.
My heart sank when I heard that something went wrong as soon as I started carrying the coffin. It was more troublesome than I expected.
However, there must be some fishy reason for not being able to lift the coffin.
I immediately used my celestial vision to check the situation.
As a result, after looking at it, I discovered that there were actually seven more things sitting on the lid of Wang Banxian's coffin!
These seven things look like lions, but they are half smaller. The key is that the position where they sit on the coffin lid is exactly the same as the Big Dipper.
I immediately knew what these seven lion-like but small things were.
"Seven Star Coffin Evil!"
During the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Han Dynasty, when Zhuge Liang died in Wuzhangyuan, he was buried in the coffin. When he wanted to return to Hanzhong, he encountered something like this.
This is because Zhuge Liang once used "Seven Stars to Borrow Life" during his lifetime.
If he had been alive, this thing would never have come out.
But after Zhuge Liang dies, this "Seven Star Coffin Evil" will appear.
In order to extend his life, Wang Banxian also imitated Zhuge Liang and got himself a "seven stars to extend his life".
Therefore, when he was about to carry the coffin for the funeral, the "Seven Star Coffin Evil" also appeared.
I also know that if you want to make this "Seven Star Coffin Evil" disappear, you can't use force, you can only think of other ways.
I think when Zhuge Liang encountered this kind of thing after his death, Jiang Wei had someone light a purple lamp in front of the coffin.
The intention is to honor the Big Dipper and the crape myrtle, and the purple lamp symbolizes the crape myrtle star.
I immediately asked: "Is there any purple paper or cloth?"
After hearing my question, grandma immediately said, "Yes! I saw it in your Uncle Wang's house during the day, and there was some in the cabinet!"
"Grandma, take it out for me quickly! I'm useful!"
I said hastily.
After hearing this, grandma and my mother returned to the room to find what I wanted.
At this time, Guan Ting asked me: "What do you want purple paper and paper cloth for?"
Others who were guarding the coffin in the mourning hall, such as my grandfather and my father, as well as Uncle Chen, the head of Wang Banxian's village, also looked at me strangely, wanting to know the reason why I did this.
Naturally, I did not hide it, but told them about the "Seven Star Coffin Evil" that I saw on the lid of Wang Banxian's coffin, and at the same time told them why they should use what I said.
"Tianxiang! This is actually a purple lantern!"
At this time, my mother walked out of the room quickly and said to me.
