Chapter 115: Soul Calling
On the way, Liu Jianjun and Liu Yuanming asked Su Yi something about dreams, and Su Yi prevaricated in a few words.
Liu Jianjun was thinking that Su Yi was talking about a dream, but such a real dream was like she really saw something happening. How similar is this to the symptoms of a child's soul, thinking in his heart, he secretly called the goddess to call Su Yi's soul at night. What if the soul doesn't come back after leaving the body next time, so that Xiao Su becomes stupid and stupid?
In rural areas, sometimes the child is frightened, crying so much that he or she can't stop, or the whole person is dumbfounded, no matter how he (she) talks to him/her, there is no response, go to the health center to check the doctor and say that he is not sick, he is in good health, but the child just can't stop crying, stupid, can't coax him, can't listen.
This situation is what everyone calls soul separation.
The child is weak and timid, and the soul is frightened, so he will cry and shout. At this time, it is necessary to find the goddess to do the work and call the soul back. I also have to let people close to my parents and grandparents go to the place where the child's soul is scared away, light a candle and call the child's name, and repeatedly shout "Come back, come back".
It is said that this will bring back the child's soul. There are also those who have succeeded in calling souls.
Of course, this kind of superstitious local method cannot see the light, and everyone secretly does it at night. The people on the team know it, they can understand it, and they won't say anything.
However, it is not certain that the soul is really useful, and it is the goddess who called the child's soul back. It could just be a coincidence.
Maybe the child happened to be in a bad mood for a while and just wanted to cry, but then he was coaxed and stopped crying. Or sometimes they happen to be so caught up in their own thoughts that they are so engrossed that they ignore people for a while, and just look dumbfounded.
Who knows?
There are also some adults who have been stimulated or demented, and they can't find out the problem when they go to the health center or hospital, and relatives will also use the method of calling souls to become a live horse doctor. Not to mention, sometimes it can really call the soul back and restore people's senses.
However, this is only a rare exception. It is not excluded that the patient suddenly does not drill the tip of the horns, and he does not get crazy when he figures it out. I also hope that the stupid patient was pretending to be crazy and stupid, escaping from reality, and only then did he take the initiative to face the reality soberly when he saw his family working hard for him.
You know, most of the time, it's useless to call the soul.
But people who have suffered and are sad and sorrowful must always have some spiritual sustenance. Looking for a goddess to call the soul, looking for a Taoist priest to tell fortunes is the same as going to the temple to pray to the gods and worship the Buddha, all of them are to seek spiritual comfort, to create a safe haven for themselves, and to give themselves a little hope.
Superstitious people have this thought: who can say for sure, what if there is a miracle? Maybe it's like the goddess (Taoist priest) said, my life was born very good/very bad, which is why I am so happy/unlucky.
Even if you are happy, if you are unlucky, of course, you have to spend money to find someone to change your life and eliminate disasters.
At this time, in the countryside, most people have limited education, and whoever has a high school student in the family has to celebrate with wine. Many are illiterate and cannot even write their own names. People have a poor spiritual life, they are monotonous and tired from doing farm work day after day, they accidentally get sick, they have no money to get medicine, and their condition can be fatal if they deteriorate for a long time.
In this way, people always have to find some fun and hope for themselves, and in many cases, it is much cheaper to find someone to do than to see a doctor. This has led to a larger market for superstition and praying to God and worshiping Buddha. The goddess and the Taoist priest made a lot of money.
Even if after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the state leaders completely banned superstitious activities and encouraged everyone to advocate knowledge and science and technology, this situation could not be changed.
If you don't let me do it on the surface, I can't do it secretly in private. Our family has believed in this for generations, so how can we say that if we don't let it, we won't let it? I myself believe in my own, and I won't hinder anyone! Others say that he (she) is very accurate, so I will go to him (her) to calculate......
- Many people are like this, or old-fashioned, or stubborn, or curious, or blindly obedient.
Until now, the goddesses of the whole country, like superstitious activities, are still repeatedly banned, and they are still very popular and profitable industries.
Take Liu Ping and the Hongqi production team next door as examples, the goddesses of these two production teams have built brick houses for their own families, and there is basically no shortage of rice, flour, grain, vegetables, meat, tobacco, alcohol, and candy at home.
Because there are always believers to give it to them.
And these believers are not only from the production team. Other production teams, communes, and even towns and cities have people who have come from afar to ask for help.
It's just that now the strange people and strange people are "doing things" in a low-key manner, most of them are just fortune telling, putting up hexagrams, making dojos for the dead, calling people souls, and the price also depends on the person, which is more reasonable and will not be ridiculously expensive.
The most important thing is that nowadays, basically no one claims to be the reincarnation of immortals, cures all diseases, and sells talismans at a high price for patients to take home to soak in water and drink for treatment.
Like Liu Ping and the goddesses and Taoist priests of the Red Flag Production Team, if someone is sick and comes to ask for a charm, they will not give it, and will directly return the money to the patient, persuading people to go to the hospital to see a doctor immediately. bluntly said that they don't have the ability to heal and drive away obscurity.
From this point of view, the state's ban on superstitious activities has achieved certain results. It is also quite beneficial to the broad masses of the people.
……
That night, Su Yi was helped into the hall by Yingzi and the eldest girl, and heard that Liu Jianjun specially brought a goddess to call her soul, looking at the plainly dressed old lady, she was dumbfounded, and she didn't know what to react to.
Liu Jianjun glanced at Su Yi, "Xiao Su, what are you doing in a daze, call someone." This is Meizi's aunt, and you also call your aunt to it. ”
"Auntie, aunt......" Su Yi pursed her lips: "You are welcome to be a guest." It's just that you can see it too, I'm sane, I'm completely fine, I don't need ......"
The aunt smiled: "I don't think you are like a soulless person, either." It's just that Jianjun said that you left your soul in a dream last night, and I was afraid that your soul would be unstable, so I asked me to call your soul. ”
Liu Jianjun glanced at Su Yi with his eyebrows: "You are young and don't know the seriousness of this matter." Don't say anything, just sit there, and you don't need to do anything to call the soul. ”
Yingzi and the eldest girl said at this time: "Uncle is right. Sister, just sit and don't talk, we will cooperate with my aunt in a while to help you call your soul back. ”
Juanzi and Chunhua also nodded on the side: "That's right." ”
Su Yi was pressed on the chair like this, her eyes widened throughout the whole process, watching her aunt give her a practice, watching Yingzi four seriously protect the lit candles, cooperating with her aunt's movements, shouting "Sister Yi, come back" everywhere in the house and yard, watching Liu Jianjun burn paper money for Yin Cha and lonely ghosts, "bribe" them, and let them escort her soul back to her body.
For all this, Su Yi was as confused and speechless as the interstellar audience. Completely don't know what's the point of doing that?
What's more, it will definitely not work, because she didn't leave her soul at all, she just saw a little farther through the live broadcaster.
Su Yi thought that all this was for her, Liu Jianjun and their intentions were precious, even if she didn't believe it, she should respect their beliefs, and it was not good to comment.
