Chapter 58: Exorcism
The lord of Su Zhai was frightened and asked the witch of the district: "What is going on?" ”
The witch looked at the words on the sand table and said solemnly: "Just now I have visited Yin Cao, reached the heavenly court, and communicated the two worlds of yin and yang. Taishang Laojun told me that the group of mountain ghosts on the opposite side of the mountain stayed in the open air, lacking clothes and blankets, and were beaten by wind and rain every day, and suffered from the cold. ”
Lord Su Zhai took a step forward and asked, "What about those mountain ghosts who are cold?" ”
The witch of the district stared at the lord of Su Zhai: "Let me ask you, what will you do outside the house when the weather is cold and the ground is freezing?" ”
The owner of Su Zhai replied without thinking: "Of course, I want to go into the house to avoid the cold." ”
"You're right," said the witch with a gloomy face, "so the mountain ghosts, big and small, will go into the house to take refuge from the cold and cling to your son." ”
The master of Su Zhai is an extremely superstitious person, and when he heard that his precious son's illness was due to the possession of a mountain ghost, he was suddenly frightened, his teeth bumped and his voice trembled: "Did you hear it wrong?" ”
The witch said, "How could I have misheard? I can hear what Taishang Laojun said clearly. Fortunately, you asked me to come in time, otherwise, in ten days, your son would have been dragged by the mountain ghosts to the Naihe Bridge and into the city of death. And ......"
The lord of Su Zhai couldn't wait to ask: "What else?" ”
The witch sighed: "I don't dare to say anything further here. ”
The more mysterious the witch is, the more uneasy it is for the owner of Su Zhai, and he asks vigorously: "This is my home, if there is any big deal, you can say it directly." ”
District Witch: "After your son dies, those mountain ghosts will not stop there, they will be transferred to your old man's body, and then you will ......"
"Ouch, so serious?" The owner of Su Zhai was so frightened that his feet were trembling, his hands were also trembling, and he pressed the table hard so as not to collapse to the ground, and asked tremblingly, "That...... So what should I do? ”
The witch's nose shrugged: "There is a way to be wealthy." As long as you are sincere, you can overcome this great problem. ”
The lord of Su Zhai cried with a sad face and pleaded: "How to get rid of it? I hope you will give me some guidance. ”
The witch held out two fingers: "It's not difficult, as long as you do two things." It depends on whether you are sincere in saving your son. ”
The master of Su Zhai was led around by this treacherous and slippery district witch, and drilled into it along the trap she set: "In order to save my precious son, don't say two points, even if it is twenty points, I am willing." ”
The witch of the district stretched out a finger and shook it in front of the eyes of the lord of Su Zhai: "First point, you have to give me another ten buckets of rice, and let me go back and ask you to exorcise ghosts every day." ”
"It's a trifle, okay! Yes! Yes! The master of Su Zhai nodded again and again, "Together with the cost of inviting you this time, a total of twenty buckets of rice, I will ask my family to send it back with you later." What about the second point? ”
The district witch stretched out her second finger: "The second point is that you have to find a way to make sure that the cold mountain ghost has clothes to wear and a quilt to cover. ”
Su Zhai's face showed embarrassment: "I can't see the mountain ghost, how can I let the mountain ghost have clothes to wear and a quilt to cover?" ”
The witch explained: "This is a very simple matter, as long as you buy back the silk and cover the mountain over there, so that those mountain ghosts will have clothes to wear and a sheet to cover, and they will no longer be cold and cold, that is, the mountain ghosts will no longer come to pester your precious son." ”
Hearing that the mountain ghost would no longer entangle his precious son, the master of Su Zhai agreed without thinking: "Okay!" Yes. Just do as you instruct. ”
The witch of the district stretched out her hand and pointed to the shrine: "Your promise to me is useless. Kneel before God and make a vow. ”
According to the instructions of the district witch, he knelt in front of the shrine, knocked his head three times, and made a vow loudly: "If my precious son can be cured of his stubborn illness and get out of the sea of suffering, I promise to buy back the silk and satin, and cover the mountain over there, so that the mountain ghosts will no longer suffer from the cold." May the gods bless, may the gods bless! ”
The witch of the district had a gloomy face: "Making a wish in front of the gods is not a child's play, you want your teeth to be a golden envoy." ”
The lord of Su Zhai swore an oath: "Of course! Of course! If I break my promise, I will be struck by lightning and lightning! ”
The witch half-closed her eyes and muttered a spell to exorcise the demons:
"The horn is hyperactive,
The wall of the bullfighting woman's dangerous room,
Kui Lou Xuan Bi Shen Shen,
Well ghost Liu Xing Zhang Yizhen. ”
After reciting the incantation, the witch of the district danced like a madwoman dancing, and then said to the lord of Su Zhai in a matter-of-fact manner: "I have just asked the twenty-eight heavenly gods to drive away the little ghosts for your house. From tonight onwards, your son's illness will soon be better. ”
The lord of Su Zhai bowed down to the district witch and saluted: "Thank you!" Thank you! ”
District witch: "I ask the gods to exorcise ghosts for you, and I will die my life, you have to make some compensation for me!" ”
Master Su Zhai: "Excuse me, what kind of compensation do you want me to give you?" ”
The witch stretched out her two palms, spread out her ten fingers, shook it, and pretended to be generous: "I usually exorcise ghosts for others, and I want to collect fifty buckets of valleys, and when I see that you are sincere today, I will accept you less, and I will collect ten buckets of valleys." ”
"Okay, okay, just do as you say." The lord of Su Zhai agreed.
The witch counted on her fingers: "Together with the twenty buckets of valley just now, it is a total of thirty buckets." ”
"Yes, it's thirty buckets." The lord of Su Zhai immediately called a few family members, went to the granary to pick thirty buckets of grain, and followed the district witch to her home.
After asking the witch to do the method of exorcism, in the middle of the night, Su Yujia still talked loudly in her dreams, screaming that there were ghosts, which made the master of Su Zhai upset and couldn't sleep, so he lay on the bed and said to himself: "Didn't the master of the district say that he had invited the twenty-eight gods to drive the little ghosts away?" How can there be ghosts? ”。
A few days passed, and Su Yujia's condition not only did not improve, but became worse and worse.
Facing this cruel reality, the lord of Su Zhai knew that the spell cast by the witch in that district did not work. Later, he met Liang Er by chance in the mountains. After Liang Er found out, he took him to find Huineng to think of a way.
Liang Shirong listened to the story of the master of Su Zhai and said, "Ah, I see! ”
As Su Zhai spoke, he couldn't help but cry, and choked up: "I, Su Weixiong, don't know what I did in my previous life, and I suffered this retribution. The five generations of my Su family have only one seedling, Yujia, and it will depend on him to inherit the industry and reproduce in the future. Alas, I can't imagine that he is now haunted by illness and is deeply troubled. I am dying, and the cycle of life and death is a natural law, and no one can resist it. But the worst thing in life is that a white-haired person sends a black-haired person. Seeing my son's condition deteriorating day by day but not being able to treat him, this really made me hurt my liver and intestines! ”
After listening to the story of the owner of Su Zhai, Liang Shirong said to Liang Er: "So, you made a special trip to bring the master of Su Zhai to me?" ”
"Well, you have a good way of healing my snake wounds, and you have cured my daughter-in-law's skin disease, so I think you may have a way to help this desperate person." Liang Er pointed to the Su Zhai Lord beside him.
Lord Su Zhai pleaded: "I heard Ya Er say that you have wandered outside, and of course you have seen more than us in the mountains. Therefore I also come to beg thee to heal my son. ”
Liang Er was interceding with the owner of Su Zhai: "Brother Yarong, everyone is from Tianlu Mountain, you can try to help the master of Su Zhai." ”
Liang Shirong stretched out his hands towards Liang Er and said, "You also know that we are not a medical family, and I am not Langzhong, I treat you for your illness, but I just prescribe medicine according to my own experience." How dare I heal others casually? ”
Lord Su Zhai spoke his heartfelt words and pleaded: "My precious son has been ill for more than three years, and I have visited famous doctors, but nothing has worked. Brother Aaron, you may as well give it a try by your experience, and if you can heal my son, I will reward you heavily. If my son has any winter melon and tofu, I will never blame you. ”
