Chapter 4: Lost Souls
Looking at Brother Ma with a desperate face, I forced myself not to show fear, took a deep breath, and quickly thought about what was going on.
Entangled in dirt? Coming to ask for your life? Is this a trick or a demon?! The more I thought about it, the more confused I became, and I vaguely felt that something was wrong......
The already muggy air grew duller, and soon sweat broke out on my forehead.
In order to cover up, I began to pace back and forth in the corridor, and went back and forth three more times about Brother Ma's story, and suddenly I was enlightened: I was fine during the day, but at night I had a fever, convulsions, talking nonsense, and I was a child, this ...... Isn't it just a lost soul!
To explain what is going on with "falling souls", we must first introduce the so-called concept of the original god and the yin body, which is commonly known as the "three souls and seven spirits".
According to Master's explanation, the soul is a spirit that can exist without the human body, and the soul after leaving the human body is also called the remnant soul (Yuan Shen); Spirit, on the other hand, refers to the consciousness that appears by attaching itself to the body (yin body).
The three souls refer to the fetal light, the cool spirit, and the ghostly spirit; The seven spirits are the corpse dog, the arrow, the bird's yin, the thief swallower, the non-poisonous, the defilement, and the stinky lung.
I won't explain them one by one here, in fact, I don't really understand them. To put it simply, the soul belongs to the inherent consciousness, and the soul belongs to the form of manifestation, or understood as emotion.
And the so-called "lost soul" refers to the loss of one or two of the three souls in a special situation.
This is a soul drop, how to summon a soul? It's not difficult to conjure spirits, especially for children.
People are small, and the three souls also belong to the juvenile stage, so even if they are separated from the body, they will be driven by curiosity, just like a kitten and a puppy.
It only needs to be attracted back to the body with a sound or a shiny object, which is why there has always been a saying of "shouting souls" among the people.
In fact, these are all taught by the master, how does he teach me how to listen, as for believing it or not? Hey...... These three souls and seven spirits can't be seen or touched, if you want to say that I believe it, I really don't believe it.
But if you don't believe it, it's commonplace for Master to summon spirits, and countless people have cured them, even if I'm a pig, I've learned it after watching it for three years, and it's not a high-tech one.
After clearing my head, I came to the spirit. Quietly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and soon put an unfathomable smile on his face.
I patted Brother Ma on the shoulder in a master's demeanor and said that he should not worry, this is haunted by evil, if others are afraid that there is nothing to do, but you find me to find the right person, with my mana, it will be done in minutes.
Some people say that you didn't say that you just lost your soul, why did you come to be haunted by evil?
Nonsense! Losing souls is something that ordinary gods and goddesses can do, how low it sounds! We tell our customers that the more serious the statement, the better, which can show our ability!
Hehe, these are all taught by the master, industry skills, industry skills......
Sure enough, as soon as the words "haunted by evil" came out, Brother Ma gasped, and his whole body trembled.
But when I heard my confident boasting later, my originally tense body gradually relaxed, and a sense of pious worship appeared on my face, and I was about to go downstairs.
I signaled him not to panic, the so-called sharpening knives do not mistake the woodcutter, and it is not too late for me to go back to the store to get the magic weapon first.
Not to mention Brother Ma, even the fat man was confused by me, a pair of small eyes were dripping and rolling, and he wanted to open his mouth to ask but it was difficult to say because outsiders were present, so he choked up.
In fact, I have a bullshit magic weapon, which is nothing more than making a show to make the customer feel very professional.
Opening the door, I was pretending to pinch my fingers and clench my thoughts, and I searched around with great pain, thinking about what to bring.
Spiritualism isn't high-tech, it's basically just a sound. I remember that in the countryside of Huainan, I watched Master knock on a broken basin with my own eyes.
But this is my first business, in order to make the play more like, I first hung a string of five emperor coins left by the master for my practice on my waist, this is the main prop, and I rely on it to make the sound, and I also brought most of the bottles of agarwood left by the master.
Agarwood does not refer to the water that has been soaked in agarwood, but is burned with agarwood as raw material, and its black grease is mixed with boiling rootless water to stir and fuse, which can be described as agarwood.
Agarwood is black and semi-viscous, mainly used to catch tricks, because it has a strong lethality to the spirit of resentment condensation, but it has nothing to do with the conjuring spirit, here I am just to pretend.
While I was looking for something, the fat man came up and whispered to me what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd, whether it would work or not, and don't drop the chain at the critical moment.
I bit his ear and said look, okay.
Then he deliberately shouted loudly: "Second junior brother, bring the three pillars of high incense, incense burner, and rootless water, so that senior brother and I can open the altar to practice......"
To make a statement of the master's demeanor, my voice sounded a little ...... g(a)y in g(a)y.
The incense burner and the fat man of Gao Xiang were clear, but this rootless water made him dumbfounded, and he looked at me blankly. I pouted at him and poured his mouth into the cabinet, this product is also smart, and I took a bottle of pure bottled water that I had torn off the label long ago.
Everything was ready, and the fat man and I followed Brother Ma downstairs, bypassed the black and hemp streets, and went straight to his "Shanxian Sheep Soup".
As soon as I opened the door, I felt as if the temperature had dropped by several degrees in an instant. Originally, the air on the street was stuffy, but when you enter the store, it feels cold, and I don't know if it's because the air conditioning is on in the store or what's going on.
Ma Ge's shop is a small business, with a storefront facing the street and a small simple bedroom in the back. When I walked in, I saw Brother Ma's daughter-in-law with a haggard face, and Ma Yubao lying on the bed.
At this moment, Ma Yubao has lost his naughty energy on weekdays, breathing heavily, and his whole body is red, like a crab that has been put into a steamer.
He had a towel quilt on his body and a wet towel over his forehead. But even with a wet towel covered, I could still see that there was a layer of black gas between his eyebrows, which appeared and disappeared......
I rubbed my eyes, thinking I was dazzled. At the same time, the wooden sign on his chest also seemed to vibrate, as if it had been electrified. But the shock was so slight that it was impossible to tell whether it was true or false.
This little wooden plaque on my chest was given by Master. It was tied with a thick thread, a dull yellow color, and a lot of weight, like a stone to the touch.
Master said that this was a talisman made for me, and asked me to keep it on my body. That's why I grew up with this wooden sign, and I didn't even take it off every time I took a shower.
Brother Ma's daughter-in-law opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, but Brother Ma waved her hand to stop her and lowered her voice: "Shhh Don't affect the master's practice......"
Hehe, in just half an hour, I became a master from Xiao Su, which feels so cool!
I looked at Ma Yubao lying on the bed, and I couldn't see anything else, it was nothing more than a child with a fever and a sick child.
He frowned, clenched his teeth, and seemed to be holding a breath in his body, and his whole body was red.
Thinking back to the scene of watching the master's soul summoning again, I felt more and more that my judgment was correct, this child had lost his soul.
I stood up and let the fat man bring the pure ...... Wrong! He cleaned his hands without roots, and then pretended to move a chair, put the end of the incense burner on it, lit three high incense sticks, and bowed three times.
As soon as the smoke rose, the atmosphere of the whole room instantly became weird, and the bodies of Brother Ma and his daughter-in-law began to tremble involuntarily.
I laughed at them for their cowardice, and at the same time I was proud of my routine.
