Chapter Ninety-Eight: Asking Rice (II)
In fact, the process of asking rice is very simple, specifically the goddess and the person asking rice sit at a table, put a bowl of white rice in front of the goddess and the person asking for rice on the table, put an incense burner in the middle, light two white candles, and insert three pillars of incense in the incense burner.
Before asking rice, the goddess first grabbed a handful of white rice and sprinkled it on the table, then folded her hands and recited the incantation, at this time the goddess took out the yellow paper talisman drawn in advance, circled the incense burner three times, placed it on top of the white candle, lit the yellow paper talisman, and the spell in the mouth of the goddess could not be stopped during this process.
After doing all this, the goddess no longer recited the incantation, but recited the name of the deceased, "Yin person so-and-so, born in what year, month, day, and when, and died in what year, month, day, and when", so that her soul went out of her body and entered the underworld.
The goddess is not a ghost, so if you want to travel to the underworld, you must use white rice, which can open the yin and yang road, so at this time, the goddess will sprinkle a handful of white rice again, and while sprinkling rice, she will slap the table hard, in order to open the ghost door.
The goddess is actually a kind of person who walks in the underworld and eats food in the underworld, so the yin difference in the underworld will not embarrass the goddess, and she basically responds to her needs.
The goddess entered the ghost gate, passed through Huangquan Road, Wangxiangtai, etc., and went straight to the Yin Cao Difu Xudu City, the goddess was not allowed to enter the Xudu City, there were Yin soldiers outside the city, the goddess reported her identity, and then informed the information of the deceased, and reported the name of the deceased, the date of birth and the date of death, this information must be accurate, you must know that there are thousands of ghosts in the ghost world fort, and there are not even people who were born in the same year and the same month and died in the same year and month, once the wrong person is taken, the consequences will be unimaginable.
After that, the Yin Soldier will go to the Hades to go to the Ghost Castle to bring the ghost of the deceased to the goddess, and the goddess will lead her back to the yang world, possess the god woman, and talk to her relatives in the yang world.
Before the three incense sticks are burned, the ghost must leave the body of the goddess and return to the underworld, otherwise Lord Yama will blame and shorten the ghost's lifespan.
The purpose of asking the rice people is actually to understand the life of the deceased relatives in the underworld, to inquire about the cause of death of the deceased's relatives, and even to inquire about the whereabouts of the missing family members, to find inspiration to solve the case, to avenge the deceased, to untie the murder bell and so on.
Of course, the later investigation of the real murderer, solving the case or something, it is only superstitious in ancient times, and the truth is unknown, but modern high-tech is so developed, JC does not need to ask rice to solve the case.
My old man said that asking rice is the heart of the people of the yang world who are concerned about the deceased, through dialogue with the deceased, seeking psychological comfort, mourning the deceased, and the deceased also need to occasionally go back to the yang to reunite with their relatives, and then see their relatives, asking rice is a matter of accumulating virtue and virtue, so the real asking rice is not to collect money, otherwise asking rice will be lifeless, very damaging to yin virtue. If you take your money, it means that you are a charlatan.
But this kind of spiritism, since its birth, because the suspicion of fraud is too heavy, the process of asking rice is too simple, once the procedure of asking rice is mastered, then anyone can be a goddess, anyone can master this kind of spiritism, so few people believe it.
After all, if the goddess already knew the information of the deceased and happened to know the deceased, she could pretend to be the deceased's upper body in order to deceive the person who asked the rice.
After my old man told me, I don't believe in asking rice at all, I think this asking rice is actually pretending to be a ghost, so it's just a mystery, if it's true, then the goddess is equivalent to a mobile phone that communicates yin and yang, then isn't it going to blow up the sky.
Just because I didn't believe it, my old man was so angry at the beginning that he couldn't do it, not to say that I was rebellious, with long hair and short knowledge, and finally solemnly said to me, I don't believe it, it doesn't mean that there is no one in this world.
But although I didn't believe it, I still took advantage of the time when I sneaked out to surf the Internet in high school, and I looked up the matter of asking rice, and it really allowed me to find some clues.
It is said that the most famous goddess of asking rice at that time seems to be a second aunt called a psychic medium in Hong Kong, who has been engaged in asking rice for decades and has rich experience, and has summoned countless dead relatives and friends for many people to ask questions or miss old friends.
One of them I am more interested in is that she once successfully invited one of my favorite bands in Hong Kong, HJJ, from the prefecture, and I was immediately attracted to this article (sorry, in order to respect the deceased, I will not say the real name, replace it with the initial letter of pinyin, if you are interested, you can go to the Internet to look it up).
HJJ, that was the singer I admired the most at the time, my generation, almost all of us grew up listening to his songs, every song of his was spread all over the streets, I remember when I first heard the news of his accidental death, I was sad for a month, and I also sacrificed him to the east.
There is also a special article on the Internet about the process of asking Mi HJJ, roughly for the so-called psychic second aunt first prepared HJJ's favorite things as sacrifices, including cigarettes, beer, plums, etc., and invited a mage who thought that the Tao was advanced to protect the Dharma for her and do a way-opening ceremony, but the second aunt of the psychic medium tried twice without success.
But the second aunt of the psychic medium refused to give up, rested for a while, put incense again, and told everyone present to pray together in good faith, and asked HJJ to come up, and the second aunt began to secretarial again, and there were words in her mouth: "Yin man HJJ, born on June 10, 1962......" and then everyone followed the instructions of the second aunt of the medium, and concentrated on thinking about the appearance of HJJ in their hearts, but the second aunt of the medium, who was originally lying on the altar, raised her head again, and HJJ's soul was already attached to her.
The body of the second aunt of the psychic medium continued to shake and began to pant non-stop, and the reporter who had good things immediately identified himself and asked HJJ about his current situation, that is, about his life in the underworld, HJJ said through the mouth of the second aunt: "I'm good, I like to play the guitar, I'm so happy, and my girlfriend is good to me." ”
The reporter was puzzled when he heard that HJJ had a girlfriend with him, HJJ explained that he was a girlfriend in the underworld, and finally the reporter asked HJJ if he had any unfulfilled wishes, and HJJ said that he wanted a new guitar, and left after speaking.
The whole process of questioning did not take more than ten minutes, and after the end, the second aunt of the psychic told everyone that HJJ came up with the same woman, the woman was very beautiful, with long hair, looking like a Japanese girl, and HJJ was inseparable, and it seemed that the relationship was good.
When I saw this, I was so excited that I almost jumped.
HJJ was my favorite singer, and I was so obsessed with him that I couldn't help myself.
So I immediately decided to hurry home and ask my old man if he knew the goddess, since the second aunt of the psychic can be moved, then other goddesses can also do it, if I can invite HJJ to come up and talk to me, it will definitely be an unforgettable experience for me.
But when I continued to read the article, I felt more and more unreliable, and said later in the article that this psychic second aunt has great powers, not only invited HJJ to open, but also invited the international superstar Leslie Cheung who committed suicide, Cantonese opera socialite Ren Jianhui, four-time Asian actress Lin Dai, a generation of sweet singer Teresa Teng, etc., so that fans and fans can understand their living conditions after death.
This second aunt of the psychic medium is too powerful, if what the media reported is true, then why didn't he invite Lord Yama, it's just an insult to people's IQ.
After reading it, I dismissed the matter of going back and asking my grandfather to help me introduce the goddess.
So I don't believe in asking rice anymore.
