Chapter 6: Seals
Since I had a ghost father, my body has gradually improved, although there are also small colds and the like, but I have never had a high fever anymore. Since then, I can always feel that there are people around me, and once I asked the old man, who couldn't stand my grinding, so he told me that it was my ghost father.
I was scared at first, but over time I got used to it. How else to say that children are forgetful!
In fact, every kind of trauma is a kind of maturity. At that time, I didn't know what maturity was, but I also understood that the protection and dedication of the ghost father was a gift from God. There is nothing in this world that you can take for free and still have peace of mind.
However, since that time, Xiao Yige and his family no longer dare to go to the haunted house, and the big banyan tree in the village has become a paradise for children.
However, the old man has become a frequent visitor to the haunted house, and as long as he is at home, he will always stay in the haunted house. I say this because since then, the old man has been going out a lot, and whenever he goes out, I will feel that my ghost father has also left.
The old man went out sometimes for a day or two, sometimes for ten days and half a month. Every time he came back, he was exhausted, the wolf was very bรจi, and the family was worried about him, but he didn't mention anything.
In fact, at that time, he took my ghost father to sweep away all the ghosts within a hundred miles of Gejia Village. In order to prevent me from gathering yin, this also directly caused no ghosts to appear in the Gejia Village area, even if it was a person who had just died, the old man had a way to send the soul directly, so that they could return to the underworld as soon as possible to reincarnate.
It can be said that he went out of his way to create a "clean" environment for me. Not only that, but he also personally went to his former friend and asked for a seal to seal my Yin Gathering Physique.
Of course, I only knew these things when I grew up, and the old man paid a lot for me, but what was left to me was the regret that my son wanted to support but his relatives were not there.
That seal only lasted a few years, and by the time I was ten years old, the seal could no longer seal my Yin Gathering Body.
When I was ten years old, I had a high fever again, and this time the high fever directly made me unconscious. At that time, my father was the only person in the village who had attended a secondary school, which was not easy at that time, and was equivalent to today's college students. After graduating, he returned to the village to become a teacher, and he was the only teacher in the primary school in the village, after all, our village is in the middle of nowhere, and college students in the city do not want to come to us.
It is worth mentioning that he is also the only person who does not believe in the old man's set of things, with his many years of influence in Marxist materialism, the old man is a cow, a ghost, a snake and a god. If it is replaced by the dilapidated four, it will have to be pulled out for criticism.
Fortunately, at that time, the wind of reform and opening up had just blown in the city, and the old man only treated people in the village in the name of medicine, and rarely touched on things like white things, so he put more effort into me.
When I became ill, my mother went directly to my father, who was still teaching in elementary school, and when he heard that I was burning fast, he didn't realize it, so he put down his book and ran home. Only the village chief's family had a dilapidated bicycle, which was called a "classic car" at that time. My father asked Brother Xiaoyi to beg the village chief, borrowed the classic car, and sent me to the city overnight with my uncle.
The city I'm talking about is just a slightly larger county town than Xiaojia Village, dozens of miles away from our village, and there is a small hospital there.
We went and saddened my mother, who was only paid five dollars a month at that time, and had to support a large family member. There was no money left at home, so my mother had no choice but to borrow 50 yuan from me for medical expenses, and asked Xiaoyi to send it to my father.
Brother Xiao Yi was only a teenager at that time, and when he entered the city for the first time, he was attracted by the brand-new buildings and colorful billboards in the city.
When he finally found the small hospital where I was staying and met my father and uncle, the fifty dollars he had with him were long gone. He cried on the spot, and that was the life-saving money for me. This also caused him to love me in all kinds of ways in the future, which is a later story.
My father couldn't, so he borrowed money from his old classmates in the city and paid the hospitalization bill. However, my high fever did not improve for a week, and the doctor simply issued a critical illness notice, telling my father that he could go home and prepare for the future.
As the saying goes, when I was sick and rushed to the doctor, there was also my uncle who was with my father at that time, and when he saw that the hospital was gone, he advocated taking me back for the old man to see. My father had no choice but to be a dead horse as a live horse doctor, and carried me back to the village, who was already angry.
The old man had just returned, and as soon as he entered the village, he heard that I was ill, so he hurried home. He carried me straight into his room, and as soon as he closed the door, he shut my father and mother out.
At this time, my ghost father also appeared, and when he saw my appearance, he shook his head, "Daddy, the seal on Lei Yatou's body has lost its effect, and the yin qi on her body is about to explode." โ
"Well, if I hadn't put Chaoyang wood on her body and dispersed a little bit of the yin qi on her body, I'm afraid she would have entered the underworld a long time ago."
The so-called Chaoyang wood is generally a branch on the top of the crown of an old tree that can be exposed to the sun from time to time. Chaoyang wood is good for toon wood, jujube tree, and peach wood, and these trees also have the effect of warding off evil spirits.
The old man took out the small wooden sign made of Chaoyang wood that was placed on my body, only to see that the sign had been shattered, and when he touched it, it turned into pieces and scattered.
"Daddy, hurry up and save Lei girl, if she doesn't save her, I'm afraid she's really going to explode." Ghost daddy is floating around me in a hurry.
The old man looked at me on the bed, was at a loss, hesitated for a while, stomped his feet, and finally seemed to have made up his mind.
"Let's get ready!"
As he spoke, he put a talisman on my forehead, and he pulled out the Soul Bell, pulled out a bunch of things, and began to set up a circle around me.
I felt like I had been pressed with a block of ice on my forehead, which made me feel a little conscious, but I couldn't open my eyes, and my eyelids felt as if they were glued together.
I heard the sound of the old man "sighing and sparse" beside me, and the ghost father urging anxiously from time to time. I felt like I was lying in boiling water for a while, and I felt like I was in an ice cellar for a while, and I started to struggle violently from cold to hot and cold.
"Hold her down!" The old man shouted.
Even though a pair of cold hands were holding my body hard, I knew it was the ghost father, and it turned out that he had access to my body.
I once heard the old man say that ghosts with deep ghost power can transform into bodies and touch real things. It seems that the ghost father has been by the old man's side in the past few years, and the ghost power has increased a lot.
I thought to myself, and I don't know how long it took before I felt more comfortable.
Ghost Daddy's hand also left my body, "Daddy, did Lei girl survive this?" โ
There was a hint of relaxation in the ghost father's voice.
"Not yet, I've only temporarily alleviated her symptoms, and it seems that it will take some effort to keep her safe," the old man's voice sounded much older, and he let out a long sigh.
"You mean, do you really need to do that?" The ghost father's voice became anxious: "Daddy, no, you didn't say that the twisted melon is not sweet, the Tao is natural, we should go with the flow." It is difficult for a doctor to heal a person who is dying, and it is difficult for a Buddha to cross the sentient beings who have no chance. โ
"Alas, a sentence of Taoism is natural, and it is so simple to say. However, in the face of life and death, people are selfish. Lan Yatou is my life's obsession, these years, I forcibly left Lan Yatou in the world, it has long been against the sky, the cycle of cause and effect, the cause planted should always be returned! โ
"Daddy......"
"Forget it, let my old bones do something meaningful at the end, I hope to keep the girl safe for a while!"
The old man's hand touched my forehead, and I could feel the warmth of his big rough hand, and I was like a wandering spirit, I could clearly see, hear, and feel what was happening around me, but I couldn't move.
I don't quite understand the meaning of the old man's conversation with the ghost father, but I vaguely feel that the old man is going to sacrifice something for me.
