Chapter 3: Passing the Spirit
It was getting dark, and Ah Qing lit the kerosene lamp and prepared to read at night.
The wary crowing of the crested rooster was heard in the courtyard, accompanied by the sound of hurried footsteps.
Ah Qing hurriedly hid the brocade scroll, walked out of the house, closed the door, and it was a middle-aged man with a bare face, beads of sweat falling from his forehead, and hurriedly greeted him.
I remembered that it was a middle-aged man who came to ask for help yesterday, and his child fainted in the cemetery.
"Master Chen asked me to come and pick up the medicine. The man gasped and said, holding a yellow paper note in his hand, which was the medicine list prescribed by his father.
"Why, haven't you woken up yet?" asked A-Qing.
"Alas, he just didn't wake up, and his belly was getting bigger and bigger, so he didn't dare to move him at all, let alone send him to the hospital. "The tears of the people who came were about to come out.
"Okay, you wait a minute. Ah Qing grabbed the things on the medicine list and opened the door.
"I'll go with you. Ah Qing was a little worried that his father's health would not be able to bear it, and he wanted to help.
The two left the yard in a hurry, leaving the crested rooster to watch the house.
There was a dirt road of three or four miles on this journey, although the woods were dense, fortunately, the moon and stars were sparse, and the dirt road was vaguely visible, and the man told him a rough idea of the situation along the way.
It was his son who fainted in the cemetery, seventeen or eighteen years old, who fainted on the ground at noon the day before yesterday when digging the old grave, and since then he has been unconscious, and he has not excreted, his belly is purple, and it is round, and as time goes by, it does not get better, which is very bad for the family.
In less than half an hour, they had arrived at the earthen and straw house, which was surrounded by a dark willow forest, and in the room there were oil lamps, and through the window they could see the figures swaying from time to time.
Crossing the threshold, Ah Qing saw his father half-squinting, tired and cowering on the rattan chair, seemingly aged a lot overnight.
"Dada. Looking at my father, I felt uncomfortable, and I was a little speechless for a while.
"Spirit. Father whispered.
"Huh?" A-Qing was shocked.
"The young man fainted in the cemetery, it must be the ghost qi entering the body, causing nervous disorders, the heart collapsed, and the ghost qi was condensed in the lower abdomen, gathering for a long time, as if to condense the spirit fetus, but this is not a girl, if it continues like this, I'm afraid ...... Alas, you go and boil the medicine first. Father sighed.
Guo Ling? A-Qing came to the stove and pondered while decocting the medicine.
The ghost energy of this cemetery is really powerful enough, it can suppress the yang energy at noon and come out to harm people, which is indeed a little scary, remembering that my father talked about the effect of yin house feng shui on human physiology before, this time it is really fulfilled.
Looking at the medicinal herbs tumbling in the medicine jar, are these ordinary positive medicinal herbs useful? According to my own observations, I am afraid that my father is not very sure.
Ah Qing was overjoyed in his heart, there is a method in the "Neijing" that has governed the spirit, why don't I give it a try? As soon as he thought of this, he closed his eyes and tried to recall the details of that method.
The method says that the ghost qi invades the body as a ghost, and the yin mud is used as a guide, which is the glue that adheres to the roots of the old locust tree, and there are two living dragons, crushed and mixed to take their juice, and they are taken with water and eradicated at one time.
Ah Qing stood up, picked up the flashlight on the table, secretly picked up a glass bottle, pinned a small shovel to his waist, and slipped out of the yard under the pretext of relieving his hands and came to the willow forest behind the house.
He thought that there must be locust trees far away from the yard, and the locust tree flowers in the countryside were a great delicacy at that time, and they were very delicious when fried with eggs, which village did not have a few old locust trees?
Earth dragon, scientific name earthworm, there are many in the field of yin tide, and it is very easy to catch a few.
Sure enough, not long after walking out of the willow forest, I saw a huge old locust, which could be hugged by two people, and the dense branches and leaves covered half of the sky.
Ah Qing walked over quickly, and instantly felt a chill around the shade of the tree, and couldn't help but shiver.
didn't have time to think about anything else, Ah Qing bent down and found the thickest locust root and dug it down, digging four or five shovels, and then dug out a few black mud blocks, with a faint fishy smell, with the pinching of different shapes, not scattered, this is the cement. Ah Qing took two pieces, which should be enough, and the next thing is to grasp the dragon.
Ah Qing walked back and forth in the field, digging several shovels, and didn't even see the shadow of the earth dragon, the earth dragon itself lives underground, without any sound, unlike crickets and grasshoppers, it can also be called, it can only rely on luck, shovel by shovel digging.
The strange thing is that there should have been a lot of earth dragons, but today I didn't see a single one, Ah Qing gradually walked into the distance, and unconsciously walked back again.
Suddenly, Ah Qing saw something moving on a dirt slope in front of him, not far behind Lao Huai, which looked like earth dragons were wriggling.
Ah Qing trotted over, squeezing away the faint dampness.
When I walked to the front, I saw that this dirt slope was obviously an old tomb that had just been dug up, and a half-person high bluestone tablet was obliquely inserted next to it, and the handwriting on it was no longer legible.
There were clods of earth scattered all around, and there was a black and red coffin at the bottom of the pit, revealing half of the coffin lid, and it looked like it was some years old, and there was a crack on it, which should have been accidentally cut with a shovel.
Where the coffin lid and the dirt touched, dense earth dragons were wriggling, and from time to time there were a few stout earth dragons outcropping on the dirt slopeγγγγγγ
Ah Qing was overjoyed, tiptoed closer, saw a few stout earth dragons, and was about to start, when suddenly his heart moved, he felt that something was not quite right, he looked around, and suddenly found that this place was directly north of the old locust tree.
The locust tree, also known as the ghost tree, the wood ghost, condenses the spirit of the yin ghost, must not be planted in the cemetery, not only will make the soul of the grave owner unable to be born, but also has the effect of calming the soul, always suffering, after a long time, it will form a fierce place, according to local customs, if it is not a deep hatred, no one does this, and look at this old locust also has some years, it is estimated that this place has become a fierce place.
I'm afraid this is where the man fainted, the place where the ghost qi entered the body and formed a spiritual place. Although Ah Qing has not seen a doctor alone, he still understands some general yin house feng shui, usually the ghost qi makes people uncomfortable at most, and the body's defense mechanism is still very strong, unless there are some graveyards with great resentment, that is the real place to kill people.
All things are born and restrained, where poisonous, there must be restraint within a few zhang, the young man was injured here, the most ideal solution is to find restraint nearby, thousands of years of feng shui metaphysical medicine, is not the five elements of mutual restraint, yin and yang balance?
Ah Qing suddenly figured it out, wondering if this group of earth dragons was the restraint of that ghostly spirit?
At this moment, in the gap of the bare coffin lid, a black gas slowly penetrated the ground and surrounded Ah Qing.
In the grass room, my father was walking around the room, and he had already fed the herbs, and now it was up to him to see what the results were. This Ah Qing has not come back for so long, and he threw away the medicine, and he doesn't know where he went, it seems that this kid does not have this quality, and he has no successor.
Just as he was thinking about it, a shout came from the house: "Master Chen, come and see." It was the anxious shout of a middle-aged man.
My father rushed into the inner room, and was surprised to see that the bulging belly of the big pillar was squirming and twitching rapidly, and the cyan blood vessels on the belly began to turn purple, and purple-black ecchymosis appeared, which was broken, and it was a rupture of the subcutaneous blood vessels.
In a hurry, his father pulled out dozens of silver needles, and at the same time stabbed the five major acupoints of the three yin, footjob, zhiyang, laogong and yanglingquan of the big pillar, and twisted the needles with his hands to cooperate with the patting. After a while, the peristaltic convulsions of the big pillar gradually stopped, but the belly was still growing, looking at a thin layer of skin, under the flickering light, even the intestines were faintly visible, the bleeding points were still increasing, and the father began to sweat.
The black gas surrounded Ah Qing and was constantly inhaled, but Ah Qing was unaware of it, and was only concerned about catching the fat earth dragon, and in the blink of an eye, there were two or three in the glass bottle.
Ah Qing didn't know that when he was in a coma last night, the golden yang red sandalwood and yin poison had completely dissolved into his body, and the supreme yang to yin was the nemesis of all poisons in the world, and this black qi could not help Ah Qing even if it was the most poisonous yin qi, I am afraid that Ah Qing would never be afraid of any yin qi and ghost qi in the future.
Ah Qing grabbed the bottle in his hand and returned the same way with great interest, and after a while, he saw three earthen and grass houses.
There was no one in the stove, there was an empty medicine jar on the pot, probably the medicine had been boiled and served, Ah Qing found a bowl, poured the earth dragon and yin mud in the glass bottle into the bowl, took the mallet and twisted it, and after a while, it became a paste, hid it in a hidden place and rested, and took the juice from it.
Ah Qing walked into the inner room complacently, and saw that it was already busy, and it turned out that Dazhu had spit out all the medicine he had just drunk and sprinkled it on the bed.
"Ah Qing, go and boil another bowl. When his father caught a glimpse of Ah Qing, he didn't care about reproach, and hurriedly ordered.
"Okay, got it. Ah Qing stretched out his head to take a look, and retreated to the stove to look at the liquid medicine that was standing.
The cemetery is a little strange, how can there be such a big locust tree, the collapsed bluestone tablet, it doesn't look like a tombstone, what is it, look at the digging soil, it should have been flat before, how did they dig the big pillar, how did they know where there is a cemetery, or a hundreds of years old grave, it is estimated that it is not his family's ancestral graveγγγγγ
"Ah Qing, is the medicine boiled, hurry up and bring it. His father's shouts interrupted A-Qing's reverie.
Ah Qing poured the clear liquid into the bowl, added some hot water to it, and carefully brought it into the house.
Dazhu's belly was swollen even bigger, and there were ecchymoses everywhere, purple and black, and there was already some outgassing more than inhaling. The middle-aged man covered his face, squatted in the corner, and whimpered.
The father opened Dazhu's mouth, Ah Qing picked up the soup spoon, slowly poured it in, and after feeding the bowl of medicine, Ah Qing retreated to the stove and skimmed the remnants of the earth dragon out of the yard.
"Neijing", I hope you can save this person, Ah Qing prayed silently.
After a while, my father was surprised to find that Dazhu's swollen belly gradually subsidedγγγγγγ
Ah Qing stood in the courtyard, looking up at the starry sky, grinning, and couldn't help but smile.
The miracle doctor Ge Hong was probably so satisfied after saving people, maybe he couldn't bear to lose his hard work, so he had the "Neijing" in Ah Qing's hand.
"Ahem, ahem. β
"Wow" there was a vomiting sound in the room.
This voice reached Ah Qing's ears like fairy music, and he flew into the room.
Looking at his father's relieved face, the middle-aged man and his wife cried with joy, Ah Qing couldn't help but have a little moist eyes.
"It's good to vomit. Father said.
Dazhu leaned against the head of the bed and looked at his father gratefully.
"Thank you, Master Chen, you saved our family. The middle-aged man grabbed his father's hand and refused to let go.
My father sat at the table, holding his tea, and a smile gradually appeared on his face.
Seeing his father's happy appearance, Ah Qing was also very happy in his heart.
"Neijing", you really can.
"Ah Qing, what are you laughing at?" the father looked at Ah Qing a little strangely.
"It's nothing, Dada, I suddenly feel that after saving people, there will be an indescribable joy in my heart. A-Qing couldn't stop sighing.
"Yes, so the doctor wants to hang the pot to help the world, and the feng shui master must have excellent character, but it's a pity that you don't have the talent, alas, I think my little thing is over with me. Father sighed.
Not necessarily, maybe the blue is better than the blue. Ah Qing thought to herself.
That night, Ah Qing and his son rushed back home.
My father was tired from two days of exertion, and he was so tired that he began to snore soon after he got into bed.
The bright moonlight scattered in from the window, and Ah Qing opened his eyes, but he didn't feel sleepy.
In the future, his fate will be changed because of the Neijing.
