1.24 Dog and deer are in love with each other

There are many questions and I feel unwilling to accept it.

Liu Bei whispered Shi Huan, asking him to arrange personnel to monitor the inside and outside of Hu Ji's restaurant, and look for clues related to the An brother and sister.

Liu Bei stayed in the mourning hall, paying close attention to the people who came to pay their respects until the funeral was held.

The guards lasted for three days and three nights in total.

The An brothers and sisters had not many relatives and friends in the Han Dynasty. Most of the people who kept their souls were barbarians, regular customers, and monks who came from White Horse Temple.

Liu Bei is the Han clan relative with the highest status among all.

In addition to the Hu Ji who shed tears, there were also the low chanting of scriptures by the monks, and the mourning hall was silent. Liu Bei, accompanied by Jia Xu, sat upright in the corner, quietly watching the guests who entered the hall to pay their respects from time to time.

Jia Xu's ancestral home is Guzang, Liangzhou. It is a mixed place of Huhu. He is also very clear about the customs of the resting people.

Whispering to Liu Bei from time to time.

According to him, "Dogs and deer are in love with each other" is a unique ritual in the Zoroastrian burial ceremony.

At noon, Sister Wan'er delivered food to Liu Bei.

Sister Wan'er seems to have a natural disgust towards the decorations in the spirit body. Speaking of which, Sister Wan'er's appearance and hair color are similar to those of Anxi. I don't know if it is related to her origin.

Seeing that she could not bear it, Liu Bei persuaded him to reply with kind words. He also said that dinner could be sent to other sisters.

Sister Wan'er went there.

The effect of applying wax to the remains is obviously for anti-corrosion. Fortunately, the weather was cold at this time, and although it had not snowed, there were no flies and insects. The corpse would not rot for three days. Liu Bei was in the middle, Jia Xu and Shi Huan were on the side. The three of them relayed and searched for possible clues among the sparse and visiting guests from the mourning hall.

At dusk, Sister Bier came to deliver food. Sister Bier's hometown, Kushan, is a country of many faiths. Sister Bier, who grew up in Middle-earth since childhood, naturally did not believe in these things. For some reason, Liu Bei didn't want her to stay longer. After using the meal, he urged her to leave.

No words all night.

Apart from changing clothes, Liu Bei kept guarding the mourning hall. There was no abnormality.

The same goes for the second day.

It was very tired after sitting for a long time. It was really difficult to persist, so Liu Bei left the mourning hall and walked around the yard.

I persisted for three days and nights. Unfortunately, I couldn't wait for the clues of the third ivory board.

In a daze, my ears suddenly rang from far to near, and there were waves of calls.

"Junhou?Junhou?Junhou?"

After hearing it sincerely, Liu Bei slowly opened his eyes.

Unexpectedly, a long pale face suddenly came into view. Liu Bei's whole body was shocked and he was completely sleepy.

Just as he was about to take action, the long face slowly retreated. Then he covered his face with his sleeves and coughed several times. When he pulled his sleeves, he saw that the corners of his mouth painted bright red, and thin red marks had been painted by the long sleeves. It seemed that the blood marks that had not been wiped clean after the vampire had eaten.

"Old slave Cao Jie, I have met the king and marquis." After saying that, he leaned down on the ground to perform a great gift. The person who came was Cao Jie, the eunuch who was also the Minister of Shangshu!

"Sir, please get up quickly." Liu Bei hurriedly left the seat to help him.

Cao Jie's thin body was wrapped in the black gauze inner official uniform. It was as light as nothing. It seemed that except for the large official uniform on his body, there was no weight inside.

"I saw that you were sleepy, and I couldn't bear to disturb you. Unfortunately, today is the day of Shangling Li. Your Majesty, all officials are here in person. I am afraid that I will lose my big picture because of the small, so I spoke out. Don't blame me." Cao Jie said panting.

The "Rite of Shangling" takes the story of Shangling in the Western Han Dynasty. It combines the Yuan Dynasty, the drinking ceremony, and some ancestral temple sacrificial rituals. It is the only ceremonial activity that must be visited by the emperor in person. The Shangling ceremony, founded by Emperor Ming, originated from the "Shangling Ceremony". The Shangling custom, which has been popular among the powerful clans, has been moved to the emperor's magnificent garden for a long time, and is used as a means of winning over the officials, officials, local officials, and relatives of the clan. It is also used by the emperor as an important means to reward meritorious officials. Such as giving meritorious officials "to return home and go up to the tomb" or "to go up to the tomb".

Only then did Liu Bei remember the sacrifice: "I have a hard time reminding you that you have forgotten the big thing."

When he looked up, he saw that the funeral procession had entered the mourning hall, and asked, "I wonder if the elders can recognize the An brother and sister?"

"How can I not recognize the prince, princess, and old slaves before?" Cao Jie coughed several times, and his breath became weaker: "I remember that during the reign of the late emperor, Princess An went to Central China. The late emperor discussed the truth with him all night and regarded him as his confidant. Now the late emperor, Prince An and Princess have all gone west. Old slaves, old slaves, and old slaves have not had much time. The past scenes are like yesterday. Being able to send their old friends on the last journey can be regarded as the late emperor's loyalty."

Seeing that An's body was carried into an iron coffin together, Liu Bei nodded slightly: "Should you wait. Can you allow me to send you the last journey?"

"The king and the king have a beginning and an end, and the love and friendship are unparalleled. How dare I stop me? Let's accompany you for a trip." He was about to die, and he showed his kindness and kindness.

"Thank you." Liu Bei bowed.

"Don't dare." Cao Jie sideways to avoid it.

Half an hour before the burial, the coffin made of pure iron was carried into the mourning hall. After the coffin carrying the coffin entered, the coffin was placed next to the dead body and recited the "Gasa" scripture. It also encouraged the relatives and friends of the deceased to bear the pain and mourn. After the chanting of the scriptures, they worked together to carry the body into the coffin. A pair of priests faced the iron coffin and continued to recite the "Gasa". After the chanting of "Gasa", they would take another dog look as usual, and let the relatives and friends of the deceased look at each other for the last time, and then they could be buried for funeral.

After the iron coffin was carried out of the mourning hall, it was handed over to the cemetery by another group of coffin carryers. Once the body was moved out, the hall was disinfected with cow urine and washed several times with clean water. The funeral team followed the coffin at least thirty steps away. The mourners were all wearing white funeral robes, and two people were in a row, led by the priest, and silently walked towards the "rest tower".

The "Sabbath Tower" is also known as the "Silent Tower". The structure is "the top layer is concave, with steps around it, and the center is a well hole; the top of the tower is divided into three layers to place corpses (the outer layer is placed in female corpses, the middle layer is placed in child corpses)," and "there are people who specialize in this matter to move the corpses on it, all naked, and let the eagles and falcons peck at all the flesh, and the bones are thriving into the well hole."

In other words, the corpse will be placed on the towering "Silent Tower", and the deceased's flesh and blood will be gnawed by the eagle. Then throw the bones into the well hole in the tower and weather. It is said that there is a mysterious potion. If it is poured into the well hole, the bones will disappear. Liu Bei secretly guessed that the water of corpse dissolving is probably the strong acid used by Taoist Taoist Taiping to dissolve rats when he was young.

If there is no condition to build a resting tower, you can place the body in the wilderness, sleep on a blanket, and pillow. Let the deceased wear the light of the sky and look at the sun. Then let the eagles eat it. Therefore, the body of the Zodiac scholars cannot face north.

"Avista" also stipulates that one person cannot carry a corpse alone. Zoroastrians treat funerals, and even numbers are auspicious. Watching, funerals, chanting scriptures, etc., all the numbers are even numbers, and there must be no single ones.

Taking even numbers means sympathy and mutual assistance. If the deceased is two people, the priest should have two pairs, the dog should have four dogs, and the corpse should also have four people.

Is there a resting tower in Luoyang?

No.
