Master bone

The funeral industry in China has a history of thousands of years. From ancient times to modern cremation, everything is simple. It seems that it is not as troublesome as the ancients, and there are not so many rules. However, in Hong Kong, where land is precious, every inch of land is used. But for death, many people are cremated, but some people are willing to carry out burial, but burial involves the lack of land area in Hong Kong, so it is found in Hong Kong and Macao.

Hong Kong and Macao cemeteries stipulate a burial period of six to seven years in the coffin burial stage. That is to say, after six or seven years, the bodies of ancestors have rotted and turned into bones. At this time, they came to open the coffin, pick up the bones of their ancestors, which is commonly known as holding bones, and then put them in a jar for burial, thus ensuring the recycling of coffin burial sites.

It is precisely because of this that the industry of holding bone masters has emerged. For our mainland, this profession is also a new thing, which also makes the funeral industry in Hong Kong very prosperous.

Generally, the master of holding bones specially completes the last journey of life for the deceased, so as to carry out burial methods such as burial, clean up the bones and pick up the bones. However, this kind of work is generally done by bone-holding masters. The master said that, like the embalming of corpses in the past, needles and drugs were generally injected to ensure that they would not rot for ten or twenty years.

But from the perspective of geomantic omen, dust belongs to dust, soil belongs to soil, and it is better to return to loess after death. Generally speaking, there are three kinds of bones: white, yellow and black, of which the white one is the most corrupt and has its own set for the owner of the bone.

A corpse is opened with bones, so it is up to the bone-holding master here, that is, 67 years after the ancestors were buried, they picked up bones in the open coffin, but there are tricks here, not just picking them up.

First pick up the three treasures, also called three bones, which refer to the pelvis, femur and sternum. And when picking up bones, avoid the collision of the zodiac and the integrity of the bones. Generally speaking, people have 206 bones. 1967 is very rare to open coffins and collect bones.

Your coffin is buried in the ground, and it will definitely collapse after 67 years. It mainly takes two or three hours to find bones in the soil, and the project is very huge.

It's also because people nowadays don't want to be cremated. In other words, burial is the best, and metaphysics also likes burial and has its own set of opinions.

Ancestors are like transmitting stations, and descendants are receiving stations. He put the hidden wind and gas in the gas distribution station, and later generations collected the prosperous gas from their ancestors. Therefore, the spiritual power of burial is relatively strong, and the spiritual power of burial is 90%. Cremation urn, spiritual power is only 40% to 30%. It is precisely because of the particularity of Hong Kong that 1978 requires bone boxes or boxes to hold the bones. The order of loading the bones is as follows

"Wang Cai, you have been learning from the teacher for three years. Starting today, you will start your career, and it will be easy for you to be a teacher, haha ~ "

Master Zhang with a bone patted his apprentice on the shoulder and said.

"Master, don't worry about not going back to your hometown. I am here, no problem. "

Master Zhang hasn't returned to his hometown for a long time. He felt happy at the thought of his daughter-in-law and son in his hometown. After telling his apprentice Awang, he went home happily.

After the master left, Awang began to work hard, but the work of holding bones was really boring, which made Awang inevitably pick up his mobile phone and play WeChat. Awang shook it and asked him to shake it to a beautiful woman. After the two exchanged WeChat, they began to have a hot chat. Awang also explained his occupation, but the other party was actually very curious about this occupation and actually asked to meet. This place is where Wang works.

At this time, Awang suddenly got up. To know this profession, most people will feel unlucky, but some girls don't dislike it. They also said that they would come to see Wang holding the bone with his own hands, so that Wang felt that his spring had finally come.

An hour later, a girl with a short white skirt and long hair shawl came to the funeral factory. At this time, in the evening, when Awang saw the graceful figure of the girl, he was full of dreams, greeted the girl happily, and then took her to his place of work.

It was also because it was too late. At that time, it was noon. Awang was chatting with the girl, holding the bones. After putting all the bones in the bone box, he smiled and said, "OK ~"

The girl frowned and said, "This is so boring. Why don't we go down to the grave and open the coffin? "

Hearing this, Wang's face changed. "Tomorrow, not now ~" he said.

The girl was unhappy and said angrily, "I think you are afraid."

Awang patted his chest and said, "I'm afraid I won't do this business." It's just a rule in our business that I can't go to the cemetery after eleven o'clock in the evening, let alone open the coffin. Before leaving, the master told me that we must abide by the rules and not violate the rules. "

"Master, master, your master has gone. Besides, you are so afraid of your master. Oh, come on, it's boring. I'm leaving ~ "

The girl patted * * * and said she was leaving. Awang anxiously shouted, "Okay, okay, whatever you say."

Going to the cemetery at night is really scary. The whole cemetery is full of cemeteries and tombstones. The tomb loomed in the moonlight. Although Awang works in a funeral factory, it's just the two of them this evening, and he's still afraid.

Awang even wondered if a ghost would suddenly appear, but the reality was not the plot in the novel after all, but that a damn sparrow suddenly flashed in the sky.

But it scared Wang.

It's fine here during the day, but at night, combined with the combination of night and owls that often appear in ghost films, the whole cemetery looks even more horrible, which can't help but make Awang shudder. It seems that you can smell the rotting dead body in the air, and his nerves are tense.

Looks like Cerberus will be here any minute.

Kill him and walk through here.

I am most afraid of meeting people.

Shortly after he left, Awang pointed to a rectangular mound, a very luxurious grave. There are gold paper, flowers and wreaths beside the tomb. The tombstone is marble, tall and big, and the words engraved on it are also gold. There is a circle of marble guardrail in front of the tombstone, which makes the tomb look like the owner's private courtyard. Even the ground is paved with marble slabs, which is clean and tidy.

"That's it. It was supposed to be a coffin. "

Awang frowned, but saw the girl's excitement again and said, "OK, let's start now."

Midnight is silent, Wang is afraid. He opened the marble slab and froze when he saw the body. A * * * sat on the ground, scared as white as a piece of paper, just like the paper in a wreath shop, and the girl on the side was shivering with fear behind Awang.

Because after opening the marble slab, the five senses of the body inside are vivid and lifelike, as if asleep. You know, after being buried for seven or eight years, the body has already rotted into a pile of bones, but this body is so fresh that it seems to be asleep, so don't mention infiltrating people on such a night.

Finally, Awang and the girl actually saw the corners of the mouth of the body slightly upturned, and they fled the cemetery in fear.

As for later, they had nightmares for several nights in a row, dreaming of the dead man. Later, Master Zhang came back to know about it and severely scolded Awang. Then he went to the cemetery to burn some paper money and went to be buried three days later. He found that the previously intact body had turned into a pile of bones.

In short, things in this world are so strange. For the dead, it is better to keep respect. Since the rules laid down by predecessors naturally have their reasons.

Graves, rotting corpses, cats.
