    Leaving aside the rituals that Taoist Duoling performed for his beloved disciple, Taoist Martial Arts, let¡¯s just talk about the few strong men who left.  After Taoist Duoling finished his ritual, these simple fishermen dragged a brand new boat to Taoist Martial Arts.  The village chief said at the right time: "We follow the local customs. Since this little Taoist priest died here, according to local customs, we have to hold a water burial for him. Please forgive Taoist Duoling." Taoist Duoling hesitated again and again before nodding in agreement.  .  The Taoist man standing aside said with a displeased look on his face: "Master, don't you always say: All living things must die, and after death they must return to the earth. Why do you have to bury your junior brother in water when you get here?" "Alas!"  The spiritual Taoist sighed heavily again, "Logically speaking, your junior brother should be buried in the ground, but you just heard what the village chief said, do as the Romans do. What's more, your junior brother died in the water, so let his soul return to the sea and be reincarnated as soon as possible.  "The scholar wanted to argue a few words, but he saw that the master seemed to have aged a lot overnight, so he swallowed his words hard.  In fact, there is God's will in the dark. Fortunately, he was buried in water, otherwise the martial artist really would not have survived.  Okay, here I will briefly tell you about the funeral rituals in Chinese studies, which can be regarded as popularizing the knowledge of Chinese studies. In the future, when I encounter places related to Chinese studies, I will also briefly describe them to you, which should be used to increase readers' knowledge.  Face.  Funeral ceremony refers to the way of burying the deceased.  Because China is a multi-ethnic country, different ethnic groups often have their own unique burial methods. Therefore, there are many funeral rituals in China such as burial, cremation, water burial, and bird burial.  Take the martial arts practitioners in this article as an example. Because they are Han nationality, they practice burial.  This is directly related to the fact that the Han people, as a farming nation, value land.  In the eyes of the ancient Han people, human beings are nurtured by the land, so returning to the soil after death is equivalent to returning home.  Cremation first appeared in Yiqu State, a country established by the Xiqiang (pronounced: "qiang") people in the west of Qin State. "When a relative dies, gather firewood and burn it." It is called "Dengya", which means ascending to heaven.  .  Later, Buddhism was introduced to China. After the death of Buddhist monks, they were generally cremated. Therefore, cremation was once popular among Han Buddhists. It was not until Emperor Taizu of the Song Dynasty explicitly banned it that cremation was forced to be buried.  Later, during the Southern Song Dynasty, because it was in a corner, with many people and little land, cremation became popular again, and this continued until the Ming and Qing Dynasties and even the Republic of China.  In fact, the biggest advantage of cremation is that it will not cause corpse transformation, which is what the common people call zombies.  Water burial is generally a popular custom among people who live in rivers, lakes or seaside. They usually put the deceased on a raft or boat (the highest treatment is a boat) and let it drift. This is because they feed on water and often regard water as themselves.  final destination.  Bird burials are mostly popular among herders and hunter-gatherers. They often place corpses in the countryside or on top of mountains and let birds peck at them, believing that this can make the soul of the deceased ascend to heaven.  (In Chapter 120 of this book, Farewell to Xiaodanli, Taoges¡¯ master used this kind of burial ceremony, but it should be called a sky burial.) There are also hanging coffin burials, tree burials, jade burials, etc.  Yi exists among other ethnic minorities in the country, and everyone knows about it.  When everything was ready, the Taoist scholar put on his clothes and personally carried his junior brother into the boat. The people in the fishing village put the most distinctive things in their homes into the boat to express their memory of the Taoist martial artist.  After seeing the fishermen's actions, Taoist Duoling felt particularly uncomfortable.  It has been a long time since I came out this time, and some of the valuable magical instruments I brought with me have been used up to the point where there is nothing left.  After groping for a long time in the treasure bag, Taoist Duoling took out two beads the size of pigeon eggs. These were exactly what he had picked out from the turtle demon's eyes.  Taoist Duoling weighed the two beads in his hand, feeling so uncomfortable.  No matter how valuable this bead is, it cannot exchange for his disciple's life.  Thinking of this, Taoist Duoling put these two beads into the boat.  But the moment he let go of his hand, Taoist Duoling picked up the beads again and put them into his beloved disciple's mouth.  In fact, the main purpose of doing this is to prevent greedy people from stealing it.  But it was the fisherman's unintentional act of giving something that led Taoist Duoling to stuff the beads into his disciple's mouth, which triggered a series of chain reactions that followed.  After pushing the boat into the sea, Taoist Duoling took Taoist Wen back to rest.  It was said to be a rest, but in fact it was just to avoid the crowd. The master and the apprentice took a good moment to calm down and sort out their sad moods.  But before dawn, some villagers rushed into the room and shouted to the master and apprentice: "Come back, come back!" "Don't worry, tell me if you have anything to do." Although the literary man was extremely sad, he was  This kind of character that does not panic when encountering difficulties enables him to face others calmly.  "Could it be that the water ghosts have not been cleared away, and another water ghost has come to the village to cause trouble?" Now as long as the two water ghosts and turtle monsters are mentioned,Taoist Duoling hates growing things so much that his teeth itch.  He immediately picked up the whisk from the table and waited for the fisherman's answer.  "Nono!" The fisherman was so anxious that he slapped himself hard, then rubbed his face and said, "It's Taoist Guangwu who is back. Go and have a look!" "What?" "Really!"  The first reaction of the master and the disciple was surprise, and what followed was surprise, "Hurry up and take us both to see." Just in case, Taoist Duoling still held the fly whisk firmly in his hand, and then asked the fishermen  Under the leadership of the martial artist, he ran towards the shore where the martial artist was.  Sure enough, from a distance, I saw the martial arts master standing next to the boat that was pushed into the water yesterday. The whole village's men, women, old and children gathered around him. The more courageous ones were touching the martial arts master's body, while the timid ones were hiding behind the boat.  On the side, he looked to see if the martial artist had faked the corpse.  "Guangwu, is it you?" Taoist Duoling tightened his grip on the whisk in his hand. As long as the other party made a mistake in answering a sentence, the fate that awaited him would be torn apart.  "Master, it'sit's me, don't Guang!" The originally eloquent martial artist suddenly turned into a stutterer, but he still patted his chest and replied to Taoist Duoling and Wen Daoist.  "The master asked you, where were our three masters and disciples on the seventh day of last month?" Taoist Duoling began to test the martial arts master and asked.  ¡°¡­ I¡¯m at Fang Yuan¡¯s house, exorcising evil spirits for¡­ his child.¡± Although his words were unclear, the martial artist still answered without thinking.  "Junior brother, how did your parents die?" The literary Taoist was worried, fearing that the other party had stolen the martial arts man's recent memories, so he verified it again.  "My mother Mom died of the plague, and my father died of the war. You both of your parents both died of illness while fleeing from famine." When the martial artist talked about his parents, his tone was slightly sad.  .  "Then how did you come back to life?" Although Taoist Duoling was well-informed, it was the first time in his life that a dead person could miraculously come back to life.  "II don't know either!" The martial artist shook his head, thinking that he really didn't know.  "It will be good if you live, it will be good if you live." In the past few days, the literary people have experienced fear, loss of brothers and resurrection, which can be described as great sadness and joy.  But the ending is still very happy, which is good.     to be continued
