The few fellows felt extremely sour as they followed behind with looks of helplessness and resentment.
Niu Lang chuckled. "She deserves it!
You made her stay because of your gluttony.
You shot yourself in the foot, didn't you? "
Everyone ignored him …
Cui Jue said, "Forget it. No matter what, we are considered peers with Xiao Yu. It's only right for us to kneel and bow to his grandfather.
It's not embarrassing … "
Black and White Wuchang nodded as well. What else could they say at this point?
Yu Hui-fei had already prepared paper money and other things. When they went to the front yard, Liu Xin had also prepared all sorts of paper flowers and some cotton-padded jackets.
Yu Hui-fei looked at the beautiful clothes and clicked his tongue. "Not bad. They're beautiful."
Liu Xin blushed slightly. "It's too rushed. I don't think Old Master will mind these things, right?"
Yu Hui-fei smiled. "The most important thing is the thought. Let's go to the grave."
On the way, Liu Xin asked curiously, "Winter Clothes Day? What kind of Winter Clothes Day is it?"
Yu Hui-fei said, "Ah … It's very simple. It's winter.
Everyone will usually change into winter clothes. People are afraid that the deceased will be cold down there, so they have to give them warm clothes.
That's why it's called winter clothes.
In history, Meng Jiangnu went to the Great Wall to deliver winter clothes to her husband, but when she arrived, she found that her husband was already dead.
She was so sad that she burned the clothes and cried …
In the end, she cried until the Great Wall collapsed. "
Liu Xin said, "I know that Meng Jiangnu cried at the Great Wall, but I really didn't know that winter clothes were delivered.
But, what's the difference between delivering winter clothes and visiting graves? "
Yu Hui-fei shook his head. "There are differences, but there are also similarities.
The ancients said, 'It takes time to cut paper to make clothes. Burn them in the early morning and turn them to ashes.
Can you use the spring to ward off the cold?
But the sound of sorrow is pleasing to the ear! '
It means that there must be paper clothes and that they must be burned before dawn … "
As they spoke, they arrived at Old Master Yu's grave.
Yu Hui-fei followed the customs of his ancestors. He burned incense and lit candles, then arranged the dumplings and other offerings neatly. He also placed a box of tobacco leaves and a bottle of sorghum liquor.
This was what Old Man Yu loved the most …
Yu Hui-fei knelt down and kowtowed to the grave, muttering, "Grandpa, Grandma, I've come to see you.
Grandpa, it's winter. Although my grandma will take care of you over there, I'll still prepare winter clothes for you.
I didn't make it, nor did I buy it. It was made by the pretty girl beside me.
This craftsmanship is priceless, so after you wear it, you can do whatever you want in the King of Hell's palace! "
When he heard the first part, he was still very serious. Liu Xin's little face was also tense and solemn.
However, she realized that the more he talked, the more he went astray. In the end, Liu Xin couldn't help but want to laugh.
In the end, Yu Hui-fei raised his head and said, "Are you … bowing?"
Yu Hui-fei's grandfather wasn't Liu Xin's grandfather, and the two of them weren't in a relationship. Therefore, it was up to the person whether they bowed or not.
Liu Xin nodded and said, "Since we're here, it's only right for us to kowtow to the elderly."
Liu Xin didn't avoid it. She knelt down and kowtowed, muttering, "Old Master, it's winter. I made some clothes for you and Grandma. I hope you like them."
After kowtowing, Yu Hui-fei drew a huge circle on the grave. Then, he threw the colorful paper and underworld money into the circle and lit it up.
Liu Xin said, "In our world, we have to say something when we burn money.
Aren't you going to say anything? "
Yu Hui-fei shook his head and said, "What can I say?
Originally, we have a set of polite words here. Grandpa, you worked hard when you were alive, so you should enjoy your life in death. You should live in a mansion, drive a BMW, and be glamorous. You should piss off the King of Hell.
But I think these words are asking for a beating … "
Upon hearing this, Liu Xin couldn't help but laugh. "Did you really say that?"
Yu Hui-fei nodded. "Yes, that's what I said."
Then, Yu Hui-fei called out to Black, White Wuchang, and the rest. "Stop staring. Hurry up. It's your turn."
Black Abby, Wuchang, and the rest felt awkward when they heard that.
Only Cui Jue generously went forward and kowtowed. "Brother, don't worry. We will take good care of Xiao Yu.
Don't be bullied over there. If there's nothing you can do, say our names. It's useful. "
Pfft …
Liu Xin laughed. "All of you are fake. Why would you say your names … You are funny."
Yu Hui-fei rubbed his nose and thought to himself, You are the funny one!
It's been so long. Can't you tell that they are real?
However, he said, "That's right. How funny."
Black, White Wuchang went forward and kowtowed. "What should we say?
Anyway, we didn't let you suffer along the way. Let's drink later! "
Liu Xin was already beginning to roll her eyes. She finally understood that none of them were serious.
Cowherd came and kowtowed. "Little Brother …"
Yu Hui-fei hurriedly coughed dryly to remind Cowherd that he had said something wrong.
Cowherd blushed, but he continued. "Little Brother, I'll kowtow to you. When we reach there, feel free to wear beautiful clothes and jump around in Yama's palace!
If anyone dares to say anything about you, say my name. It's useful! "
Yu Hui-fei rubbed his glabella, feeling a headache …
Liu Xin asked curiously, "They are acting as Black, White Wuchang, and Judge Cui Jue. But who is Brother Cowherd acting as?"
Yu Hui-fei looked up at the sky and said, "Cowherd, the one who married the Weaver Maiden.
He should be considered the son-in-law of the Jade Emperor's family, the Golden Knife Emperor's son-in-law. "
Liu Xin covered her mouth and said, "You guys really dare to give random names!
Aren't you afraid that the heavens will blame you? "
At this moment, Hei Wuchang snorted. "If they don't blame us, would we still be here?"
Yu Hui-fei was afraid that Liu Xin would overthink it, so he nodded and added, "That's right. This mortal world is a great purgatory!"
Liu Xin rolled her eyes at him, "You only know how to talk nonsense!"
Seeing that he had managed to fool her, Yu Hui-fei secretly heaved a sigh of relief …
Yu Hui-fei hurriedly took out some paper money and burned it before scattering it outside the circle …
Liu Xin asked curiously, "What are you doing?"
Yu Hui-fei said, "This is for those lonely souls and wild ghosts. It's to prevent them from being too ferocious and going down to bully our elders."
White Wuchang said, "Don't worry. That's our territory."
Yu Hui-fei ignored him …
The fire was still burning brightly. White Wuchang said, "Is this enough?
Do you want to go inside and burn some more? "
Yu Huifei shook his head and said, "That won't do. The clothes and money for the dead have to be burned completely.
Otherwise, it's said that these things can't be delivered. "
White Wuchang rolled his eyes and said, "You make it sound like you can deliver it to the place if you burn it clean."
Yu Hui-fei was taken aback. "Can't it be delivered?"
White Wuchang shook his head. "It can't be delivered. Actually, what the ancestors received was not the burned paper. The money they received was actually the thoughts, gratitude, respect, and other emotions of their descendants.
When people die, they are gone …
Their only existence in this world is to live in the memories of their descendants.
If one day, their descendants don't remember them anymore, then they will have no connection with this world.
Those who can reincarnate will be reincarnated, and those who can't meet the standards of reincarnation will disappear. "
Yu Hui-fei was stunned. "There's such a thing?"
Hei Wuchang said, "Of course …
In human science, it's called the law of conservation of energy.
The existence of ghosts is actually a form of energy.
How do they maintain it?
One relies on the absorption of Yin energy, and the other relies on the thoughts of the people of the Yang Realm.
When they lose this energy, they will dissipate if they can't reincarnate.
Of course, there are some exceptions, such as those famous historical figures and those great heroes. They live in the memories of the people around them.
As long as their race is not destroyed and their history is still there, they can continue to live.
That's why many people say that they can't be famous for thousands of years because they're afraid that they'll be forgotten. "
Yu Hui-fei was speechless …
Liu Xin, who was listening by the side, was even more stunned.
White Wuchang said, "That's why all of you are wasting your efforts by burning paper money."
Liu Xin nodded subconsciously and mumbled, "Doesn't that mean that what we're doing is meaningless?"
"Yes!"
Yu Hui-fei suddenly said, "We burn paper money to pay respects to our ancestors. It's a way to express our longing for our ancestors.
Without a ritual, our emotions can't be released or expressed.
But with a ritual, we can express it and let our ancestors feel it.
At the same time, it can also influence future generations to remember their ancestors and convey filial piety.
In addition, don't you think that with a ritual, you will miss them even more? "
Liu Xin said, "That's right …"
Yu Hui-fei smiled and said, "That's why, in the five thousand years of China, many things have been lost, but the matter of paying respects to our ancestors has never been lost.
This is because the core of our culture is filial piety. This ritual inherits our culture and is also filial piety. It is also the great wisdom of our Chinese ancestors.
Therefore, this ritual can't be skipped. On the contrary, it has to be strictly followed. "
Liu Xin kept nodding … She looked at Yu Hui-fei with stars in her eyes.
Although to her, Black and White Wuchang was a human and not a ghost, the way they spoke just now was from the perspective of a ghost.
However, the way they spoke just now was from the perspective of a ghost. They said that everything humans did was useless, and it made her feel suffocated.
As for Yu Hui-fei's words, it was equivalent to turning the tables for humanity. That felt great.
This girl did not see that Black and White Wuchang was secretly giving Cui Jue a victory sign!
Clearly, this was a perfect assist!
Yu Hui-fei also understood. His eyes were filled with gratitude.
Then, Yu Hui-fei continued, "Let's take the rule that everything must be burned clean as an example.
In fact, even the ancients knew that burning paper money on graves could easily cause a fire.
Therefore, by setting up such a rule, people can guard the fire until it is burned clean and the fire is extinguished.
This is to prevent fire! "
Liu Xin continued nodding and said, "That makes sense, that makes sense … Our ancestors really hid their wisdom in these rules."
Yu Huifei was very pleased with himself …
After the fire was over, Yu Hui-fei used snow to bury the ashes. Then, he led everyone to the graves of the martyrs. They burned paper money and delivered clothes.
The only pity was that although there were many martyrs here, they did not know the names of the others apart from Zhang Shun.
