Chapter 36: Rituals and Exorcism
Aunt Liu swallowed her saliva and continued, "It wasn't until after dawn the next morning that the cold gradually subsided. My mother-in-law asked two old people from our village who knew a little bit of yin and yang to come over and help see what was going on. After the two old men asked about the situation, they both said that I must have been possessed by those unclean things, and that I had to find a Mr. Yin and Yang to do the rituals for me to exorcise ghosts, and they would not do these rituals. As soon as I inquired, Mr. Yin Yang is very expensive, at least five buckets of rice before others are willing to come, I can't take it out, so I thought of Mr. Gongsun. So, early this morning, I took the child and begged you. Do well, and do it for me. ”
After that, Aunt Liu pulled the child to kneel on the ground, and kowtowed to Gongsun He.
Gongsun He's mind was full of the voice and smile of the Xinghua girl last night, as well as the soft and boneless delicate body, after hearing the bad news, his head was full of the tragic image of the Xinghua girl being killed, and the whole heart was filled with these things, so when Aunt Liu came in and kowtowed to thank him just now, he didn't even know what was going on, and when Aunt Liu chattered about what had happened, he gradually understood that it was the hexagram that the apprentice Yi Xingchen calculated for Aunt Liu the night before.
He remembered that when Aunt Liu asked him to calculate it, he didn't want to, so Aunt Liu asked her apprentice Yi Xingchen to calculate it. The hexagram looks like it is actually auspicious, there is no bad omen at all, but the apprentice Yi Xingchen told the other party that this hexagram is a big murderer, and he will inevitably encounter unclean things on the road, and he thought that the apprentice was deliberately scaring Aunt Liu, and after asking the apprentice, the apprentice explained that he did think so, and he was angry, and reprimanded the apprentice a few words, saying that he was indiscriminately interpreting the hexagram.
However, what Aunt Liu said just now proved that the apprentice had verified it. Aunt Liu really encountered something unclean on the road and almost died, but fortunately, the apprentice taught Aunt Liu the method to resolve the danger, and it actually took effect, which made Gongsun He stunned.
In the end, I saw Aunt Liu kneeling beside the bed with her two children, looking up at him with her head full of pleading, and she didn't react for a while: "You, what do you want me to do for you?" ”
"Please do a ritual for me, to get rid of the unclean things on my body, last night, I was like soaking in ice water. The old man said that he was passing by the cemetery the night before yesterday and leaned over when he encountered something dirty, so please help me do a ritual. ”
"Doing something? I'm not a Taoist priest, how can I do things? I don't know anything else except fortune telling, you have to do things, go to the Taoist temple and find a Taoist priest to do it, I can't help you. ”
Aunt Liu suddenly became anxious, and hurriedly said: "Mr. Gongsun, please, I know that you have the ability, although the hexagram that day was not calculated by you, but by the hexagram, but he is your apprentice, and his ability is taught by you, he is so powerful, let alone you." In the past, I always asked you to tell the fortune teller, saying that you were not accurate, and if you really had no eyes, I would apologize to you. The method you and the hexagram taught me escaped from the cemetery, and I survived. I will never forget this kindness in my life. My family was poor, and my old man died early, so he left two children to me, and my mother-in-law, who was also in her seventies. My family is old and young, all rely on me alone, my family is poor, I really have no money, I can only beg you to do well, help me do a Fa deed, I will remember your good for the rest of my life. ”
Yi Xingchen on the side hurriedly said, "Aunt Liu, you get up first, get up and sit and talk." You keep kneeling like this, what does that look like? After that, she stretched out her hand and pulled the two children up, and then Aunt Liu got up and sat on the stool, wiped her tears, and said to Gongsun He: "I also know that I can't get the money, but you're afraid that you won't want to help me." That's good, as long as you help me do things and get rid of the evil in my body, then I will wrap the dirty clothes of you and your apprentice Hexagram, every time I come to sell vegetables, I will take your dirty clothes back to wash, and after washing them, I will send them to you next time I sell vegetables, okay? ”
Gongsun He smiled bitterly: "I'm not lying, I really don't know how to do things, if you want to find someone to do things, you have to go to the Taoist temple, it's useless for me." I want to be able to do it, and I will definitely help you if you ask me so. But I won't, how can I help you? ”
Aunt Liu didn't believe it, insisting that if they could calculate the dirty things by telling the hexagrams, and they could teach her how to break through the dirty ghosts hitting the wall, there must be a way to help her get rid of the dirty things on her body. So he begged bitterly, and pulled the two children to kneel.
Yi Xingchen hurriedly stopped and said: "Don't worry, let's first determine whether you are possessed by unclean things, and we can give you a hexagram to know, if it is really possessed by evil spirits, then we can go to ask someone to do something." If not, you will waste money in doing things, and you will not be able to cure your problems. ”
"But the old people in the village all said that they had fallen into evil spirits, and they could only be driven away by doing things."
"Those old men are not Taoist priests, how can they be counted? My master didn't tell a lie, he really doesn't know how to do things, if you insist on doing things, then you can go to the Taoist temple and find a Taoist priest. If you just want to get rid of your problems, then you need to find out whether it is evil or not, and then you can figure out how to do it. ”
Aunt Liu nodded and said, "What you said is also somewhat reasonable, so can you trouble me to calculate a hexagram to see if I am evil?" However, I don't have any money, so next time I'll pick a little more food and give you half of the money to offset it, okay? ”
Gongsun He's head is all about Xinghua Girl's business at the moment, and he is not interested in Aunt Liu's facts, so he just wants to send him away as soon as possible, saying: "It's all from the villagers, and you don't have much money, so I'll give you a hexagram for free." ”
Aunt Liu said thank you repeatedly.
Yi Xingchen hurriedly brought a small bag of rice for fortune telling, as well as bowls and plates, and brought it to Aunt Liu. Aunt Liu was arrested three times. Gongsun He looked at the number, looked out the window and estimated the time, and then came up with the hexagram, and said: "If you want to ask whether it is evil, the key is to see how many yin lines are in the hexagram of this hexagram. Your hexagram, the upper hexagram and the lower hexagram are all Xunmu hexagrams, and only two of the hexagrams in this hexagram are yin, and it can be concluded that you are not evil from the hexagram. Therefore, your fear of cold is not evil, but for another reason. ”
Aunt Liu looked at Gongsun He with wide eyes: "I didn't fall into the evil, so how could I freeze people like that?" ”
Fenggong Sun He just wanted to finish explaining the hexagram as soon as possible so that he could send her away, so he didn't sell it, and said bluntly: "This has been the way the hexagram has been explained since ancient times." As for why you are afraid of the cold, this is easy to explain: it becomes the fifth. The hexagram that represents your body and the hexagram that represents the things you ask are all Xunmu hexagrams, and if the divination is about disease, the Xunmu hexagram represents wind disease, that is, cold and evil qi disease. Judging from the hexagram, you were not possessed by dirty things last night, but were hit by cold and evil, and you were sick, what you are looking for is not a Taoist priest, it should be Langzhong, go and see Langzhong. ”
Aunt Liu didn't believe Gongsun He's interpretation of the hexagram, and turned her head to look at Yi Xingchen, who smiled slightly and nodded
When the master calculated this hexagram, Yi Xingchen did not have a three-dimensional hexagram in his mind, which proved that the master's calculation of the hexagram was accurate, and the interpretation of the hexagram was also in line with the hexagram, so Yi Xingchen nodded in agreement. At the same time, he helped her analyze and said: "Didn't you just say, the night before yesterday, you encountered a ghost hitting the wall, and you kept running, and your whole body was so tired that you were about to collapse, and you must have sweated profusely, and you took off your pants again, and when you were blown by the mountain wind, you must have been sick with cold and evil spirits, so you will feel cold all over your body." ”
"But why don't I feel cold after dawn? I don't think it now, but I have a hunch that I will definitely feel very cold again at night, so I'm afraid that it's not the cold evil that has entered the body and I have typhoid fever, but I am really evil. Mr. Gongsun, hexagram, you better do it for me. ”
Gongsun He was a little annoyed, waved his hand, and said to Yi Xingchen: "I'm tired, you send Aunt Liu out, I want to sleep for a while." "Anyway, I don't care about Aunt Liu, I have been lying down and sleeping on my side since ancient times.
Yi Xingchen hurriedly whispered to Aunt Liu: "Aunt Liu, you come out first, I have something to tell you." ”
