It wasn't until many years later, when I remembered that stormy night, that I still didn't feel a cold war, and I felt scared of what happened at that time.

I was still young that year, after all. It didn't take long to walk on the road of carrying the coffin, and many times, I didn't trust myself very much. And sometimes, there is some blind self-confidence. And this time, it was caused by blind self-confidence.

Since it was a temporary idea, it took Jiang Yifeng a few hours to look for what I wanted everywhere, and when he came back, it was already close to the hour.

At this time, the sky was overcast and dark, and the moon was blocked by clouds, and the shadow was gone.

It was only at this time that he could see a frightened look on Jiang Yifeng's face, "Jiujiao, you summon a spirit, nothing will happen, right?" ”

"Of course not!" Although I myself can't be sure whether it is useful or useless, Jiang Yifeng's sentence 'a dead horse is a live horse doctor' speaks to my heart. At this point, I can only believe that I can do it.

"Since you're so confident, then you can do it. But I finally got these things after I found the village chief of Shanhou Village, and now almost the whole village knows about them, and if you can't handle it, it's not just a matter of losing face. ”

At this point, I can't say I can't do it, right? I smiled at him and responded, "It's up to people." ”

I walked to the old man's bedside, pulled his fingers, and took a drop of essence blood in a white porcelain bowl. He also dripped pure yang and pure yin blood into it, mixed it with yin and yang water, dipped it in the liquid, and wrote the eight characters of Niu Laohan's birthday on a yellow table paper.

Afterwards, I lit the soul-attracting lamp at the head of the bed, lit the yellow table paper, put it in a white porcelain bowl, buckled it upside down on a blue brick, and then placed it at the head of the old man's bed.

After all this, I tied a rooster to the old man's wrist with a red rope. Sprinkle the loess evenly between the old man's bed and the old man.

"That's okay?" Jiang Yifeng asked me with some doubts.

"That's it." That's how I remember the process, but the notes my grandfather took at the time didn't record all this very clearly. There must have been something going on in between, but I don't know.

This method is specifically used to summon spirits, not to call souls.

The so-called soul is the soul of the living person who has fallen, and the soul is called to the upper body, and the three souls and seven spirits are supplemented.

And the so-called spiritualism is to summon the souls of the dead back.

Since it is impossible to make the soul of the old man return to the body by calling the soul, then I can only try this method of using it on the dead. After all, the soul of Old Man Niu is now in Old Man Sun's body. Hooking the soul from the body of the dead should also be regarded as a conjuring spirit.

The core point of this method is to use a rooster to summon spirits.

Because it is the soul of the old man who recruits, the essence and blood of the old man must be used as an introduction. And what I mean by pure yang blood, that is, rooster blood; Pure yin blood is the blood of a woman's pregnancy. Jiang Yifeng said that he asked the village chief for help, and eighty percent of it was for these two kinds of blood. After mixing it with yin and yang water, write it on yellow paper to ensure that you will not attract the wrong soul.

What followed was a long wait.

In order to prevent accidents, Jiang Yifeng and I stared intently at the white porcelain bowl on the head of Niu Laohan's bed. The bowl must wait until the first rooster crows before it can be revealed. If the white porcelain bowl is unveiled in less time, then no one can imagine what will happen.

The night was long, and neither of us dared to stare at it wrongly, only feeling that every second passed very long. I don't know how long it took, but the sound of a rooster finally sounded next to the bed.

"Whew, it's all right, right?" Jiang Yifeng breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, my tense heart was relaxed a little.

According to the record in the grandfather's notebook, when the rooster crowed for the first time, the soul had already traveled all the way along the paved loess and hid in the white porcelain bowl. I opened the white porcelain bowl and poured the burnt ashes mixed with yin and yang water for the old man Niu.

And at this moment, the soul-attracting lamp flickered and suddenly went out.

Jiang Yifeng was startled by the sudden darkness, grabbed me and shouted, "Jiujiao, this is ...... What's going on? It's not like you're failing again, are you? ”

"No!" Seeing that the soul-attracting lamp went out naturally without wind, my heart finally let go. It seems that this time it was a success. stepped forward and touched the old man Niu, his body temperature had returned to normal, and his face slowly became ruddy, "Now as long as you wait until dawn and the rooster crows three times, the soul will really return to the body." It seems that this method is really useful. ”

"So what do we do now?"

"It shouldn't be a big deal, go to sleep." I said, but then, I remembered my grandfather's notes again, and immediately changed my words, "Yifeng, remember, no matter what happens tonight, what sound you hear, or even what you touch, don't open your eyes." Otherwise, there may be unforeseen consequences. ”

"Hmm, what are the consequences of saying it so mysteriously?"

Although Jiang Yifeng was stubborn, I knew that he was not so calm at all at this time. Moreover, it was already this time, and I had not slept all night, and both he and I were already very tired.

Neither of us said anything more, but leaned on the edge of the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

But what I can't imagine is that until this time, the real danger has just crept in. I thought of Jiang Yifeng and myself, but I only ignored the old man Niu who had just returned to his soul.

In the middle of the night, I can't tell what time it was, probably shortly after I heard the second rooster crow? But I don't remember it really. I only knew that I was asleep, but I was suddenly awakened by a terrible scream.

Although I told Jiang Yifeng not to open my eyes at will, I was still asleep just now, but I was suddenly awakened, and my brain didn't have time to react at this time, and I had already opened my eyes.

However, speaking of which, I would also like to thank this instinctive action at that time that saved my life.

When I opened my eyes, the first thing that caught my eye was an old face covered with black hair. That face was about a fist away from me at this time, and out of self-defense instinct, I didn't think about it, grabbed the peachwood sword that was placed next to me and stabbed him violently.

Because it was a frightened shot, it was infused with great strength in his hands. I pushed the hairy face back a step, and then it was firmly bound by the silk thread thrown behind me.

Only then did I notice that the moonlight that came in through the door of the hall was a blood-red patch.

I didn't have to be stunned for a while, but I saw that the hairy-faced guy's body shook suddenly, and the silk thread thrown out of the ink fountain made a soft 'snap' sound, and broke on the spot. Jiang Yifeng, who was holding an ink bucket in his hand, was thrown out vigorously and slammed into the wall.
