Chapter 6: The Return of the Soul

The origin of the spiritualist ritual is very early, according to legend, in ancient times, after a person died in a foreign land, the soul could not find a way to return home. At this time, as long as his relatives perform a spiritualization ceremony for him, take his clothes, and call his name from the place where he died, while scattering paper money and rice, they can take him back to his hometown. In this way, his ghost can not endure the misery of leaving his homeland, enjoy the offerings given to him by his relatives, and get the opportunity to enter the underworld and start reincarnation.

And Li Hao's father, Li Ming told him the method of conjuring spirits, which is not much different from this.

It's just that in addition to the clothes and rice that Lao Yu wears, an old hen and a woven scarecrow must be prepared for Lao Yu's soul to meet. Of course, incense wax money paper is indispensable. And more importantly, the time and place of the conjuring. If there is an error in the time and place......

Then it is very likely that the one who is recruited back is not Lao Yu's ghost, but other lonely ghosts.

On the road, on the side of the street.

Although people can't see it, it doesn't mean that those lonely ghosts don't exist.

Not only are they extremely numerous, but they are also extremely good at deception and trickery, and it is not surprising that they change into Lao Yu's appearance and voice to pretend to be Lao Yu. As the saying goes, it is easy to invite ghosts and difficult to send ghosts, once you invite the wrong ghosts, the consequences can be imagined......

Originally, the night of Lao Yu's first seven days was the best time to summon spirits.

On the night of the soul, the ghost of any dead person will come back on this day to see the place where they once lived.

But Li Hao didn't know the specific time of Lao Yu's death, so he could only try his luck and try to summon spirits at twelve o'clock in the middle of the night.

Twelve o'clock at night is the time of the turn of the day, today becomes yesterday, the time when the yin is prosperous and the yang is declining. Often at this time, the likelihood of success in the conjuring will be much greater. On the phone, Li Hao's father told him this very clearly......

As for the choice of location, Lao Yu died in his room on the first floor, so as long as the location of the soul is in the community, it will be done.

Rice, an old hen, and fragrant wax money paper and a scarecrow, these are not problems.

The only thing that is more difficult is to get the clothes that Lao Yu wore before his death, without it, the whole spiritualism ritual cannot be carried out.

After Lao Yu died for no reason a few days ago, the police cordoned off his house.

Even if Li Hao wanted to sneak in, but without the key, Li Hao couldn't open the door of Lao Yu's room.

But I don't know if it's because God is helping Li Hao...... Last night, the fat woman, after Lao Yu's landlord came to burn the paper money, even threw the key into it, although the key was stained with a lot of ashes of paper money, but fortunately, it was not deformed and damaged at all, and it can continue to be used. Or perhaps...... It was the fat woman's guilt that made her think of atonement for her sins in this way.

But what she absolutely didn't expect was that this key happened to be discovered and picked up by Li Hao by accident.

By mistake, Li Hao successfully entered Lao Yu's room and obtained one or two clothes from him.

One afternoon was enough for Li Hao to prepare other things...... Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed.

After everything was ready, Li Hao only needed to wait until twelve o'clock in the evening to start the soul conjuring ceremony.

The entire ritual must and can only be performed at night.

Although Lao Yu's soul can also appear during the day, in order not to disturb and frighten the residents in the community, Li Hao only dares to officially start this ceremony at night. Fortunately, this community is relatively dilapidated, there are no cameras installed, and there is not even a doorman at the door, so Li Hao dared to give it such a bold try.

As for whether the conjuring spirit can succeed, it depends on the will of God...... Conjuring also has a high failure rate, especially for a novice like Li Hao.

Li Hao is not like those masters who are proficient in Taoism, with a random spell, he can call back the ghosts of the dead.

All he can use is this kind of folk rumored way of conjuring spirits.

Moreover, this method was told to him by Li Hao's father, Li Ming, on the phone.

When he used to study, Li Hao always felt that his parents were a little chattering......

But now it seems that they are right.

The clock ticks by.

Li Hao sat quietly in a corner of the community, waiting for all the crowds to return to their respective residences before he started to act.

A table that had been brought from nowhere was tied to the old hen's feet with a piece of red thread and tied to a table leg.

On the table, there are only a few fruits, followed by a bowl of white rice and an incense burner the size of a palm.

In front of him was a broken pot burning incense wax paper money, and then there was the scarecrow in the old clothes.

According to Li Hao's father Li Ming said to Li Hao, when it was almost twelve o'clock, Li Hao had to start, burn those incense wax paper money, burn all the left, and inform the gods of the Quartet, as well as all the lonely souls and wild ghosts around, don't come over and make trouble.

When twelve o'clock passed......

Li Hao was able to grab the rice in the bowl and sprinkle it at the scarecrow who was wearing old clothes.

The full name of Lao Yu is called three times at the same time, usually repeated three times, and the ghost will come back after hearing the voice. Attached to the scarecrow's body, revealing his form and face, meeting the one who called. When the rice that had been stained with the old clothes fell to the ground, the old hen would start eating it when she saw it. Once it is the other ghosts who come back, the old hen will continue to eat rice.

It is not until the soul of the real old Yu returns that the old hen will stop eating rice.

The rooster with a colorful red crown belongs to the yang, and its blood can drive away evil spirits and suppress ghosts;

And the old hen that lays eggs all the year round is yin, which can attract ghosts.

Its function is to help Li Hao identify whether it is Lao Yu's soul that has returned......

In the middle of the night, at 11:45, Li Hao began to burn incense wax paper money and pray.

It only took 12 minutes to burn all the wax paper money. I had three minutes to calm myself down, so that I wouldn't be frightened when I saw the ghost later. Three minutes passed quickly, and with the first handful of white rice sprinkled, Li Hao's shouting voice also began to echo in the empty community:

"Yu Fugui, I have something to look for you, please show up and see ......."

"Yu Fugui, I have something to look for you, please show up and see ......."

"Yu Fugui, I have something to look for you, please show up and see ......."

Every time he shouted three words, Li Hao would sprinkle a handful of white rice at the scarecrow wearing Lao Yu's clothes.

After three handfuls of rice, the old hen ate happily on the ground......

A gust of wind blew out of thin air, and the temperature of the air seemed to drop a lot suddenly......

At this time, the scarecrow lying quietly on the ground also seemed to have undergone some kind of change...... Weirdly stood upright!!
