Volume 6 Paper Shop at the Crossroads Chapter 5 The Master Conjures
After dinner, Fang Ping followed the example of yesterday's Master Meng and put the bowl full of food on the side of the road, but today she is used to it, and she is not as afraid as yesterday. When she returned to the store again, there were already three people in the store, one of them was an old woman who was over half a hundred years old, her temples had already turned white, and the other two were about thirty years old, it seemed that they should be a couple.
The man spoke first: "Master Meng, I heard from an acquaintance that you can summon souls here, so I come here to beg you, a few days ago my old father left suddenly, and we were afraid that he would not finish speaking, so we would like to invite his old man up again to ask if there are any unfulfilled wishes." ”
As soon as the man finished speaking, the old woman burst into tears, and sobbed and continued: "My old man doesn't say much on weekdays, and he walks away like this, in case there is anything that can't be put down, how can this be good... ”
The words of the two really reached Fang Ping's ears! This incident once again made her stunned, this person can still summon a spirit back after he dies? This was unheard of for her, and although she was a little scared in her heart, she still unconsciously stood aside and listened carefully.
Master Meng snuffed out the cigarette in his hand and said slowly, "How did he die?" ”
The man replied, "Heart attack!" That night, I was sitting on the sofa watching TV, and suddenly there was no one left, and in the end I didn't leave a word, so my mother asked me to ask Master Meng for your help. ”
Master Meng suddenly frowned, and said with a serious face: "This matter must not be delayed, if there is something in your heart when you leave, you can't swallow your last breath, it is indeed unlucky!" The Wandering Spirit will not be reported by the underworld, and it will inevitably wander in the human world, and it will inevitably cause trouble to the family in the end. ”
As soon as Master Meng's words fell, the faces of the three of them suddenly changed, and the man took the lead in speaking: "Then I still bother Master Meng to help quickly." ”
Master Meng sighed and asked, "When is the old man not here?" ”
The man replied: "Last Wednesday at eight o'clock in the evening. ”
After hearing this, Master Meng hurriedly stretched out his fingers and began to calculate, with words in his mouth, and finally he spoke again: "Today is the ninth day!" Let me ask you, was there an unusual disappearance in your house the night before yesterday? ”
"Out-of-phase?" Lao Tzu looked puzzled, he turned his head to look at the other two, and the two of them were also confused, shaking their heads again and again.
Master Meng continued, "Amorphism is like the sound of other people's footprints in the room, and the sound of bowls and basins falling to the floor at night, but nothing is broken. ”
The man closed his eyes and thought about it carefully, and finally shook his head and replied, "Probably not." ”
Master Meng's face suddenly changed, and he said solemnly: "That's a big deal!" Let me ask you again, have you had a disaster or a sickness in your family recently? ”
After hearing this, the man hurriedly replied: "Master Meng, I can't hide it, since my father left, my three-year-old son has been having a high fever for several days, and I can't find any problems, so that's why... Coming to Master Meng, what the hell is this... What's going on? ”
Master Meng closed his eyes, sighed again, and said slowly: "The night before yesterday, it was the seventh day of your father's death, which is what we often call the first seven, if the ghost is willing to go to the underworld, then he will go to the place where he lived before his death, and then he left smoothly, but he didn't come back that night, it means... He is unwilling! Your child's high fever does not go away, I'm afraid it is... Your father is by his side! ”
As soon as Master Meng's words fell, the three of them had already changed from their doubts just now to great horror! The woman, who was in her thirties, had no idea for a moment, and began to cry uncontrollably, and the old woman began to cry immediately.
Finally, the man spoke: "Then please ask Master Meng to think of a way to help us!" ”
Master Meng slowly straightened up, opened the door of the back hall, and said to the three of them, "Come in with me." The three of them didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly got up and followed Master Meng into the back hall, and Master Meng immediately closed the wooden door, but Fang Ping couldn't stop being curious again, walked to the door softly, lay on the crack of the door, and looked into the house.
I saw Master Meng take out a piece of yellow paper, use cinnabar to draw a charm on the paper, and then ask: "The name, age, date of birth, date of death, who is the deceased?" ”
After hearing this, the old woman hurriedly answered them one by one, and Master Meng wrote them down one by one with a pen on the yellow paper.
Finally, Master Meng put down the pen in his hand and said in a heavy tone: "I will summon the ghost of your old man to my body in a while, if you have anything to say, you can ask quickly, once the ghost enters the body, it will have a great impact on people's yang life, even I can't support it for too long, you just pick important things and ask, understand?" The three of them nodded their heads again and again.
Master Meng continued, "Remember! Do not ask questions about the deceased's personal privacy, or provoke the deceased, otherwise he refuses to leave, and the consequences will become very serious! The trio nodded again.
Seeing that he had already explained clearly, Master Meng took out an earthen bowl, took out a black bottle from the cabinet on the side, and said, "This is black dog blood, psychic." After that, he poured the black dog's blood into the earthen bowl, and then burned the yellow paper just now and put the paper ashes into the earthen bowl, the whole process was done in one go, but there was a trace of weirdness.
Master Meng motioned for a few people to sit down, then took out an egg from his arms, a chopstick, rubbed the egg with one hand, and hit the table with the other hand, muttering in his mouth: "The ghost door is open, the lonely soul is coming, the ancestor asked me to summon you... Chattering, Fang Ping in the back didn't hear it too clearly, several people in the room looked at each other, and they didn't dare to say much for a while, the whole room was filled with a terrifying atmosphere, as if ghosts would come here at any time.
The big concept lasted for five minutes and suddenly !! The chopsticks in Master Meng's hand snapped and broke, and the sudden change really startled a few people, and the two women hurriedly covered their mouths, afraid that the screams would affect Master Meng. As the broken chopsticks fell to the ground, Master Meng immediately picked up the earthen bowl on the table, took the blood in the bowl into his mouth, and then "banged", his head slammed on the table, and there was no movement.
When several people saw this, they couldn't help but be shocked, not knowing what was going on here. The man was about to stretch out his hand to push Master Meng, but Master Meng suddenly straightened up, sat up straight, his eyes were half-open and half-closed, his expression changed greatly, as if he had changed a person, and said in a low voice: "Are you here?" ”
The three of them were suddenly shocked, Master Meng's tone and tone were very similar to the old man who had just passed away in his family, and the three of them couldn't help but start to be a little afraid, and finally the man mustered up his courage and shouted in a trembling voice: "Dad... Dad, is that you? ”
"Master Meng" nodded slightly, without squeaking. The man immediately burst into tears and sobbed, "Dad, do you have any unfulfilled wishes?" Why are you pestering your grandson? ”
"Master Meng" stared at the man with half-open and half-closed eyes, and after a long time, he finally said slowly: "I want to... Home... Burial! Because he was shouting blood in his mouth, his speech was a little slurred, but the man still understood what he meant, nodded quickly, and replied, "Dad... I know, I'll do it! ”
As soon as the man finished speaking, the old woman, who had been shocked for a long time, finally came back to her senses and said in a trembling voice: "Old man, do you have anything else you haven't explained?" You're not afraid, I'll be in two years... I'll go with you! In the middle of his words, he began to cry again.
"Master Meng" shook his head gently, and at the same time, his whole body suddenly began to twitch non-stop, the whole person seemed to be crazy, and the three of them were shocked and frightened, and finally "Master Meng" sprayed the blood in his mouth to the ground, and the whole body was loosened, and he slammed on the table with a "bang" again, and no longer moved. After about a minute, Master Meng finally coughed, slowly straightened up, he slowly took out the handkerchief in his arms, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said, "Have you all asked clearly?" ”
The three of them looked at Master Meng in unison, he regained his previous expression, it seemed that his father's ghost had left, and the man replied, "Ask... Ask clearly, thank you, Master Meng! ”
Master Meng waved his hand lightly and replied, "Master doesn't dare to be a master, but this time it will damage my longevity for a few days!" After that, he coughed lightly and continued: "Go after asking clearly, and do as he instructs, and the calamity in the family will be eliminated." ”
The man hurriedly got up, made a fuss of money, and at the same time took out a wad of banknotes from his arms, stuffed them into Master Meng's hand, and said gratefully: "Master Xie Meng, let's do it, thank you!" ”
Master Meng took the banknote and replied, "Then I won't send it far away!" ”
The man hurriedly helped the two women up, and it seemed that the two were already frightened by the scene in front of them, and the three of them went out of the back hall one after the other, and left without saying anything more.
This matter was seen in Fang Ping's eyes from beginning to end, she had changed from the initial fear to the final shock, all of this was really beyond the scope of her cognition, from last night's ghost summoning to tonight's ghost summoning, at this time she couldn't tell whether she admired or feared Master Meng! She couldn't help but think of the incident of catching the door last night, if there are really ghosts in the world, then what was outside the door last night... If she were a rat, she wouldn't believe it!
Fang Ping was thinking about it, Master Meng had already sent a few people away, closed the door of the shop, he returned to Fang Ping's side, glanced at it, and then said: "You should rest early, you should not look at these things in the future, the yin qi is too much, it will hurt your body!" ”
Fang Pingmu nodded, a thought suddenly flashed through her mind, so she asked in a trembling voice: "Master Meng, shouldn't it be outside my door last night... Rats, right? Could it be ... ”
Master Meng was also a little surprised by her sudden question, and was silent for a long time, and finally replied: "It's a mouse, don't think about it." After that, he stopped answering and went straight into the back hall.
