Chapter 5: The Conjuring
That day, my father and they found Qiu Zhige's body in the middle of the night, but it was very strange that Qiu Zhige's body was found in a place that was very far away from the place where he had sunk into the water, and there was a backwater pit in that place, and the body was found in that place.
When my father came back, he found that the light was still on in my room, and it was very late at that time, so he thought that I had forgotten to turn off the light when I was sleeping, so he pushed the door open and walked into my room.
My father was frightened by this appearance, and hurriedly walked to my side, touched my forehead, and found that my forehead was very hot, just at this time my mother and grandmother also came back from the fourth aunt's house, and my father hurriedly asked them to come and see me. Grandma immediately said anxiously: "Xiao Jiu must have a fever, you quickly carry him up and go to him Uncle Yi to see if he can cure Xiao Jiu!" ”
Saying that, my grandmother eagerly urged my father and mother to carry me to find Uncle Yi, and my father immediately picked me up without saying a word, and then rushed out of the house and ran towards Uncle Yi's house. At this time, Uncle Yi had just come home from the river and was about to sleep. When I saw my father rushing into his house with me in his arms, I immediately knew that something must have happened, so I quickly put on my clothes and greeted my parents.
My grandmother also followed behind, and when she saw Uncle Yi, she said with a crying voice: "Mr. Yi, take a look at my Xiaojiu, he looks like he is burning very badly!" Uncle Yi held his grandmother up: "Don't worry, I will definitely save Xiao Jiu, I'll take a look at Xiao Jiu's situation first!" ”
Then Uncle Yi reached out to my forehead and touched it, and then looked at my forehead again, and the expression on his face immediately became serious: "It seems that Xiao Jiu's illness is not so normal, I think he must be guilty of ghosts," Saying that, Uncle Yi hugged me from his father's arms, and after swiping his fingers in front of me a few times, he exclaimed: "Oops, Xiao Jiu's soul is gone!" ”
As soon as the mother heard this, she immediately became a little dispossessed, and the father was so anxious that he didn't even know where to put it, and the grandmother was even more shocked and knelt down on the ground to Uncle Yi, and said eagerly: "Mr. Yi, you must save my little Jiu, he is still so young, he can't just go!" ”
Mother was so panicked that she didn't know what to do, but when she saw her grandmother kneeling down directly to Uncle Yi, she also knelt down for Uncle Yi with a "poof", Uncle Yi hurriedly helped the two of them up, and then said to them: "It's not impossible to rescue Xiao Jiu, now I need to know Xiao Jiu's birthday, so that I can calculate the location of his soul." ”
"Tomorrow, I will summon the soul of Xiao Jiu, you need to prepare an offering table, a pair of incense candles, three tribute incense, four oil lamps, paper money, a bowl of chicken blood and a bowl of glutinous rice, and two paper people, so that I hope to be able to recall Xiao Jiu's soul. You go back and prepare first, I'll prepare, and then tomorrow, I'll help Xiao Jiu recall his soul! ”
After listening to Uncle Yi's words, his parents and grandmother immediately went home to prepare. Although there are a lot of these things, because this is in the countryside, these things are not very difficult to get, and generally every household will prepare some to worship the gods. When it was just polished that day, my father prepared everything, just waiting for Uncle Yi to come to the house to help me summon my spirit.
When the sun gradually rose, Uncle Yi came to my house with his fellow affairs. Originally, many people in the village were helping Zhang Luoqiu Zhige's funeral at the fourth aunt's house, and when I heard that Uncle Yi was going to help me summon my spirit, some village elders came to watch, but Uncle Yi didn't stop it, and the elders in the village also consciously stood aside and did not hinder Uncle Yi.
After Uncle Yi put things down, he took out a Taoist yellow robe and put it on his body, and then asked his father to remove the door panel at home, and his father immediately stepped forward to take down the door panel (the door panel in the countryside is movable and can be disassembled. Then there were two benches in the middle of the hall, and my father was asked to put the door panels on them.
After my father put the door panel, Uncle Yi asked my mother to put me on the door panel, and then he lit four oil lamps and put them on the four corners of the door panel, and then took out three talismans from the bag he carried, one on my head, one on my feet, and one on my chest.
Then he asked his father to help set up the offering table in front of the door, put an incense burner on it, light the pair of incense candles and three tribute incense, and put the chicken blood and glutinous rice on both sides. After his father finished these things, Uncle Yi drew a talisman on the paper figure, and after the painting was done, he asked his father to take it outside to burn it.
Uncle Yi then asked my parents to stand aside and told my father not to approach me until I woke up, or else he might lose his efforts, and he immediately stepped aside. Then Uncle Yi asked my grandmother and mother to lie on the door panel, calling out my name.
So my mother and grandmother shouted my name one by one, and Uncle Yi danced in front of the offering table with a peachwood sword, and then took the glutinous rice and threw it at me one by one, and shouted while sprinkling: "Xiao Jiu quickly return to itself, Xiao Jiu quickly return to itself!" ”
After sprinkling glutinous rice, Uncle Yi took out the pen he was carrying and the paper cut into long strips from his bag, picked up the pen and dipped it in chicken blood to draw the talisman on the strip, and drew three talismans in a row, the whole process was done in one go, and then Uncle Yi burned the three talismans. At this time, Uncle Yi instructed my father to take the paper money and burn it outside, and give some to the lonely souls and wild ghosts passing by, so that they would not hinder my soul.
When my father heard this, he immediately ran out with a bundle of paper money, set it all on fire outside, and then went back to the house when it was completely burned. At this time, Uncle Yi was still chanting the spell of conjuring spirits, but the vision also happened at this time, only to see the flames of the two incense candles constantly fluttering, the three tribute incense sticks were also bright and extinguished, and the offering table began to shake gently.
Grandma and Mother were a little shocked when they saw this situation, and they forgot to call my name for a while, Uncle Yi hurriedly said: "Don't stop, continue to call Xiao Jiu's name, otherwise Xiao Jiu may not be able to come back!" "Grandma and Mother hurriedly continued to call my name, while Uncle Yi also continued to perform the rituals.
When I heard this, I remembered that there was indeed a time when I was on that three-way road, and I didn't hear the call of my grandmother and mother, and I almost looked back at that time, and I felt a little hanging, if I really looked behind, I guess I wouldn't have been able to listen to this story at this time.
I know everything after that, I happened to come back at that time, and Uncle Yi let me return to myself after seeing it, so I am so alive and kicking now.
