After saying that director Jin then followed out, he saw director Zhao is about to power on the car, director Jin stopped him, handed Wenbin Zha a red envelope: "please do dharma when you go back…"
Wenbin Zha refused: "The dharma I will do, the thing you need do is to take good care of that boy, and please go to Wangzhuang village this evening, we will go first now". Wenbin said and motioned to Director Zhao to drive the car.
Leaving the village head and director Jin to discuss the details, they three returned to the village first.
When they arrived at Wang Xin's house, Director Zhao said, "I admire you for speaking up today. "
Wenbin Zha said as he entered the room: "It's just to do something that I can do. "Director Zhao wanted to say something more, but Mr He pressed his shoulder and shook the head, indicating not to ask anymore. Director Zhao looked at the tall figure of Wenbin Zha, lost in deep thought.
That afternoon, Wenbin Zha slept in a bed, director Zhao and Mr He were bored, they played chess in the yard while talking about Wenbin Zha. Mr He explained the incident struck Wenbin Zha, so It's better not to bother him. However, director Zhao did not stop, kept asking about why Wenbin knew there was a problem with that car. Mr He helplessly said if I understand why then I will also be the living immortal.
Director Zhao was very admiring Wenbin Zha in his mind, and he came up with a thought in his mind: he even wishes he would quit the job in public office to learn Taoism with Wenbin Zha.
At about 4:00 p.m. the sound of firecrackers in the village woke up Wenbin, who was sleeping. When he went out, he saw that the hearse had returned. He changed his clothes and took Mr He and director Zhao with him. Many people had already gathered at the entrance of the village; the death of the family was so tragic that the 8-year-old boy was lying beside those dead (which were covered with white cloth) crying. The sound of crying shocked everyone's heart. Many people in the village also started to cry. Gradually, everyone cried together; the whole town was in a state of great sorrow. Many people could not accept this fact. This village has no more than 100 households; seven people died this month in a row. Who knows which one will die next.
Director Jin came along with the traffic police team and the village head. They helped carry the bodies into the courtyard. A long bench had been put up with the removed door planks. The four dead bodies filled up the already small hall. The following truck, loaded with wreaths from the county and four coffins, which were all carried out into the courtyard. Everyone knew that there was a Taoist priest in the village; everyone trusts and depends on him to instruct the funeral.
The traffic police captain asked the village head to gather all villagers together in that courtyard, where he announced the settlement—— to pay the compensation of 600,000 yuan, which was temporarily put into the village account until the child turned 18. The Guardian is made up of the village committee and several relatives of the child. Anyone who wants to move the money before the boy turned 18 needs to get unanimous approval from these people. The maintenance and tuition fees are to be borne by the director Jin. After the announcement, the captain of the traffic police made three bows to the four lyings dead, glanced at Wenbin in the crowd, and went back first.
Director Jin wants to follow along with the captain, but was stopped by Wenbin Zha: "You can't go, you need to stay this night". Looking at a row of corpses in the house, although the director Jin used to see corpses, today, his legs were trembling a lot. After he heard the words of Wenbin Zha, he had to stay even he did not want to.
The eight-year-old boy of Wang family was cried in all tears. He knew that the fat man with the gold-rimmed glasses in front was the one who had killed his parents and his sister. He bit director Jin tightly, made Jin painful, and no one could pull him down. The child relented only after a piece of flesh had been shed. Director Jin did not know what to do, he cannot go, and he doesn't want to stay either, the whole village looked at him, no one does not want to beat him. It looked at Wenbin Zha ice-cold eyes; he still did not dare to take a step out of the yard. After the simple bandaging, he took a stool and sat in the yard.
Wenbin Zha didn't care about him, thought of going to do small encoffin. He opened the white cloth and had a look, it was all bloody and stiff, how to do it, nobody dared to do it. A few relatives were invited for a discussion, forget it, straight out them into the coffin, this scene I am afraid no one will dare to stay here.
The young men from several villages carried the body out again. The coffin was an ordinary paper coffin. They found a few brave people, but they didn't even take off the cloth and put them into coffin directly. Soon, there were four coffins side by side in the hall.
Wenbin Zha was preparing to put his desk on the table; he heard the sound of ticking. Someone suddenly shouted: "Blood" and he looked down. As the coffin was made of paper, the bloodstains inside it had oozed out of the coffin. Soon, the ground was stained red, the bloody smell filled the whole yard, and many people began to vomit. Wenbin Zha frowned, such a tragic death, there must be resentful spirits.
Looking at the ground full of blood, everyone didn't know whether to go or stay. Wenbin call over the village head, let him collect some unused shed membrane and called relatives of Wang family to buy more yellow papers.
After a while, those things were sent to Wenbin. He spread out the shed membrane on the ground, and those who carried the body before were called over again. He asked them to wear gloves and take out the dead body from the coffin and put them on the membrane. People surrounded those guys, did not dare to start. At the same time, the blood has almost dyed red cloth; the body was frozen body at first, now all thawed, you can imagine how terrible.
Wenbin Zha also didn't know how to do——he discussed with a few relatives and saying that they will pay everyone 500 yuan later, but still, no one dared to move. At this time, the boy, who was crying, immediately knelt for the crowd and kowtowed several times, each one hit the ground heavily. They looked at this sensible boy and were affected. People worked together and carried out the body; when they looked down, the coffin has been full of blood.
Wenbin Zha shook his head, laid a thick layer of yellow paper in the coffin, and then covered a coating on the surface of the dead body. He then called people to bundle up the plastic film, the airtight, and then re-coffin.
In fact, after death, once the body is put into the coffin cannot take out again. Otherwise, it would be regarded as the disturbance of the soul. Those who take the dead body out from the coffin tonight will have back luck the next day. However, At the moment, Wenbin Zha looks at this mess, he doesn't have time to care so much. Let's get on with it, later help them one by one to retreat the lousy luck.
And then Wenbin asked others to clean up the ground, after finish cleaning, it is already dark. The chief outside sent in the upside-down rice, chicken and duck tributes. Wenbin Zha saw everything is almost ready; he passed the first stick of incense to the little boy, the boy kneeling in front of the memorial tablet didn't get up. Wenbin picked him up, inserted the scent and motioned the adults to take this boy away.
After the count was finished, Wenbin Zha asked everyone to go for dinner first. They had been busy all day. There was still work to do in the evening. Because of a succession of deaths, fortunately, the pots and pans, the tables and stools were all good to borrow. Outside, an open-air terrace was built, and three firecrackers were lit. The crowd began to eat, director Jin is also being tortured enough, Wenbin Zha motioned him to sit together with himself, next to director Zhao and Mr He, director Jin trembling ate a little of it and stopped eating.
Today's dinner, the atmosphere was quite depressing, and no one was drinking. It was quiet; there were no other sounds except the sound of bowls and chopsticks. It was lifeless. The smell of incense mixed with the bloody smell in the courtyard, it made people lose their appetite. Everyone ate only a few mouthfuls and started to tidy up.
After dinner, everyone is waiting to see that Taoist, Wenbin Zha calculated with his fingers, told them to take all elderly and children home, turn off the light when they go to sleep and keep the door closed. Others can stay, can also go home if they want.
A few of them left, a few timid people also left. Laohan Zhang couldn't wait to brag about what Wenbin did for his mother that night. Director Zhao was listening and was shocked. He couldn't wait to shove his neck to the front to see clearly. Many of the people who left behind had seen the first two dharma Wenbin did, knowing that something was going to happen on this special night.
For people who died unnaturally, Wenbin naturally understands it is such a big evil, according to the information he obtained, that seven people will die this month. But he cannot guarantee next month and the month after…
In our daily life, the most vicious name-calling is nothing more than that: only the eight-year-old boy was left this time, which is considered whole family death. If we cannot release souls from purgatory today, Wangzhuang village will indeed have great harm in the future. Those who died unnaturally are not in the list of reincarnation. They can only wait for their life to expire naturally, then can enter the reincarnation. However, during this time, they will unavoidably become a wild ghost.
Generally speaking, ghosts have no consciousness; the soul is out of the main body; in a short period, they have consciousness, but will lose memory in an extended period. If there is strong thought during a lifetime, they may remember after death, this kind of study must be a strong stimulus, for example, this kind of family car accident. The deceased cannot quickly put aside their grief and anger, and their body is not intact, which may eventually have turned into the evil ghost. The probability for this to happen is relatively high, which may harm the neighbourhood in the future.
Wenbin Zha knew what was at stake, and it was much easier to kill them when they didn't have a strong grudge at the beginning. But the family had no great fault; they brought about such a catastrophe. He also had a heart of kindness, with the release souls from purgatory in mind, he wanted to send them into Samsara as early as possible. Hence the dharma tonight isn't about the repression, but about the releasing.
