Chapter 4 Inquiry
After the old man left the house, he hurried to the haunted house on the hillside. When he stepped into the right wing, he saw that the tablet on the small offering table had been overturned, and the glass of the black-and-white picture frame had shattered to the ground.
The old man secretly said, "Not good! β
Hurriedly walked over, straightened the tablet, and swept the broken glass on the photo frame.
He took out three pillars of incense from the cloth bag he had brought with him, lit them with a match, and inserted them in the stove. He also took out two raw eggs and a bowl of poured rice that had been prepared in advance, and set them on the small offering table.
began to murmur: "Baby, Dad hasn't come to see you for a long time, you're hungry, come, eat!" β
As he spoke, he took out two more white candles and lit them.
"You've been gone for more than 20 years, and my father has been thinking about you all these years! You went in this house, and your father kept this house for you, even if your brothers came to tear it down and build a new one, I stopped it.
If you go early, your father always thinks that he can not live with you, so he will protect you everywhere, even if he moves, he still comes to give you an offering from time to time, for fear that you will be wronged underground. However, with your mother with you underground, you shouldn't be lonely all these years. β
As he spoke, the old man sat down on the futon in front of the offering table, took out the wine jug and wine glass, and said as he poured the wine, Xu remembered the past, and the corners of his eyes were filled with faint tears.
It turned out that the boy in the black-and-white photo was his eldest son, and the boy died young. The old man has a total of six sons, and the others have already started a family. This wooden building is also their ancestral business, but they moved out of here for some reason.
"Baby, your nephews came to you this afternoon to mess around, don't mind, they are just ignorant bear children, you are also their elders, just let your niece go!
She's still young, I brought it back from the grave, thinking about being a daughter to your second brother's family, if she offends you somewhere, Dad will compensate you here, you don't have to toss her a little baby, okay? β
It turned out that the old man came to this haunted house in the dark but came to apologize for me and Brother Xiaoyi, if I knew at the time that this was where my uncle who died early lived, I would not dare to come in.
We broke in and got into trouble with my uncle. That's why they came to me that day.
Why didn't he look for the other kids, just me? It's because my body is originally a gathering of yin, and the yin ghost likes yin, and he is possessed by me, and he also asks for something.
The old man said a lot of good things, that is, he hoped that the eldest son would let me go, although he had many means to get rid of the uncle who was attached to me, but after all, he felt guilty about the eldest son who died early, and he didn't want the father and son to fight each other, thinking that he could discuss and solve it peacefully.
But he underestimated the uncle's persistence, the uncle is an old ghost who has been dead for many years, where can he be so easy to deal with.
"Baby, if you have any requirements, just ask your father for your dreams at night, and your father will do it for you, Lei Yatou's body is already weak, you better leave quickly!"
The old man is also wronged, he doesn't want me to have an accident, and he doesn't want to do anything to the eldest son, so he has to come and ask the uncle to let go quickly. He said this in the middle of the night, and he also wanted to wait to see how the three pillars of incense burned. This incense, incense burning process dΓΉ is also said.
It is generally believed that there are twenty kinds, and some of the more complete ones think that there are twenty-four. They are peace incense, Lu incense, large and small innocence, large and small lotus, evil incense, forest incense, disaster incense and so on.
Each incense represents a certain meaning, in which the left side is the highest, the right side is lower than the left side (less than one-third of the left), and the middle is the lowest, which is called the evil incense, commonly known as the evil incense. It means that someone will come to stir up trouble within seven days.
And the incense that the old man ordered for the uncle to burn became an evil incense in the end. The old man knew that the eldest son was afraid that he was going to make trouble, and it seemed that this matter could not be discussed properly. He was about to find out what he was doing from the cloth bag, but he saw that the eyes of the person in the black and white photo seemed to roll, and the handsome face showed a look of fear.
It seems that the old man's prestige in the uncle's life is still there, and seeing the old man about to do it, the uncle's ghost is also afraid, only to see a wisp of green smoke coming out of the black and white photo, and quickly drifting towards the outside of the house.
Although the old man is old, his eyes are still very good, and when he sees that the uncle's ghost is about to escape, he raises his feet and chases after him. But when he chased out, his feet were tied to the threshold, and his body staggered and was about to fall forward, so he hurriedly held on to the door frame.
To say that this threshold is also very evil today, it is all the threshold to ensure the safety of the house, but at this time it has become a roadblock.
This threshold is also said, it originally refers to the horizontal wood under the door, there must be a threshold at the entrance of the door of traditional Chinese houses, and people must cross the threshold when entering and exiting the gate, which plays the role of buffering the pace and blocking external forces.
The threshold has a certain effect on blocking external adverse factors and preventing the leakage of wealth, which is very important for residential feng shui.
To say that this threshold was originally placed by the old man himself, he is also very good at Feng Shui, originally with his design, the threshold of our home can block disasters and drive away evil spirits, but I don't want to tie myself up at a critical moment.
When he steadied himself and chased out, he saw the green smoke burrowing into the body of a small green snake that had just crawled out of the grass. The little green snake squeaked, turned its head and burrowed into the grass.
The old man saw the little green snake burrowing into the grass, and took a few steps forward to reach out to grab it, but when his hand was just about to touch, he was avoided by the little green snake slipperyly, and the little thing got into the grass in the blink of an eye. The old man hurriedly stomped his feet and went into the grass to look for it, but at this time it was dark, and no matter how good his eyes were, he couldn't do night vision.
He had no choice but to turn back and take a candle and look for it in the grass, knowing that he would come out of the house with a flashlight.
So he searched in the grass all night, and when the day was getting brighter, he returned home.
At this time, I had nightmares and a high fever all night, and my mother kept watch over me all night. As soon as the old man returned, my mother greeted him and told him how I was doing that night, and the old man dragged his tired body to check on my condition. His brows furrowed, and he didn't care about resting, so he hurriedly prescribed medicine, prepared it, and called his father again, and asked him to fry it and let my mother take it for me.
He told his mother that I was haunted by my uncle's ghost, and that if I wanted to be safe, it was up to him to ask for something, and that he could only leave my body if he met his conditions. Now it's daytime, and when the evening comes, he will open the altar again and ask about it, so that my mother can take good care of me, and he himself will go to rest, and when he prepares the altar for him in the evening, he will do it, and after explaining it, he will go to his house.
