Chapter 17: Something is wrong
Later, when Ma Ming explained the matter of Fu Shui, he said that it was not a home remedy, but just a metaphysical remedy for the old man's life. The human body is like a sophisticated computer, the human body is the hardware, and the soul is the software. The composition of the complete soul of a person is the three souls plus the seven spirits, after the old man, the body is correspondingly decayed, just like the hardware aging of your home computer for a long time, the network disk software inside will also be lost due to hardware problems.
There are three souls: the heavenly soul, the earth soul, and the living soul; There are seven spirits: Tianchong, Linghui, Qi, Force, Center, Essence, and Ying. Among them, Linghui is in charge of the consciousness, but it is also the lightest and elegant, and the decaying body cannot close the spirit of Linghui, so it is free from the body, causing the consciousness to appear and disappear from time to time, which is what we often call Alzheimer's. The talisman water that Ma Ming fed to the old man A Jing has the effect of conjuring the soul and strengthening the spirit, although the effect is good, it can only cure a temporary emergency, and cannot be used for a long time.
After refusing to allow Uncle Cui to stay for dinner, Ma Ming and I came out of the village and walked to the main road to wait for the driver to pick them up. Along the way, I kept thinking about what the old man Ah Jing said before, why is the threshold of the monk's temple the most holy and filthy thing in the world? I can understand holiness, I once heard a strange story in ancient times, saying that the candle on the altar in front of the Buddha because of the perennial incense and worship, over time gave birth to spiritual wisdom, in the night into a graceful female form appeared in the world, some said that it listened to the Bible, and finally got the ascension to immortals, became a god and Buddha worshipped; It is also said that it turned into a charm, seduced the monks and passers-by in the temple, sucked yang energy, and was later destroyed by the Taoist. As for the rumors, I don't care about the authenticity first, and it is not surprising that this temple building listens to Sanskrit music all the year round, and it is not surprising that it has given birth to a bit of holy wisdom. The threshold in the temple, why is there a saying about suppressing evil spirits?
"That's understandable." Ma Ming said: "Think about it, what is that threshold used for?" β
I speculated, "Stop the zombies? "In the past, the sanitary conditions were inconvenient, and there were many corpses in the mountain villages that could not be disposed of, and the corpses had to be picked up at night. I watch Lin Zhengying's series of zombie Hong Kong films, and I often see the plot where zombies are stopped outside the threshold and can't get through.
There is also such a saying. However, there is a specific saying that the threshold to block zombies must be set at three feet and three inches, and we are talking about another situation. Ma Ming said: "Ordinary people must go through an action when they cross the threshold, what do you think it is?" β
I was so confused that I was so entangled in the correct explanation that I neglected the present. At this time, the taxi came to the front, and when I opened the door and got into the car, I suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "Cross? β
But isn't it, the action that everyone has to go through when crossing the threshold, isn't it just crossing?
Ma Ming sat in the co-pilot, pulled the door and said, "Guess half right, young man, more divergent thinking." β
The threshold is a metaphor for a group of people. I thought about it and thought about it, and chewed on the word straddle over and over again - straddle is the action of spreading your legs, and there is another action similar to it: riding.
The scenery outside the window illuminates a neon light, and the driver introduces the so-called red light district with a smile that even a man understands. It dawned on me. The most insidious way to scold is nothing more than scolding the other party's mother, thousands of people, riding thousands of people. What is it that is ridden thousands of times? Prostitutes.
βbingo.β I said my speculation, Ma Ming dragged a foreign sentence, snapped his fingers proudly and got out of the car.
Prostitutes are unclean in front of them, so they want to preserve their innocence after death. In ancient times, after the death of such women, they were generally wrapped in rotten grass mats and thrown into the mountains and grass to be buried, so there were many colorful ghosts in the mountains, and when the woodcutter and pedestrians were in a hurry at night, they would carry the threshold that they had removed from their own homes, so that when they met the female ghost, they would show the threshold. When the female ghost saw the threshold, she recalled what happened to her life, the pain was unbearable, it was difficult to get close, and pedestrians could take the opportunity to escape.
The rental stops at the destination, but it is not Qingtong Manor, but a luxurious small villa. The countryside is open to the sky, and such a villa stands alone in the center, very abrupt. Entering the villa through the atrium, a polite-looking man with gold-rimmed glasses greeted him excitedly. Ma Ming's hand was halfway stretched out and he took the lead in grabbing it: "Immortal Master, Immortal Master, please come inside." β
This man is the developer who asked Ma Ming to take over the manor, and I think his diligent attitude is not right, and he must be so diligent because of big trouble. I followed them into the living room, and there was a woman sitting on the sofa in the middle, looking very beautiful and a little familiar. I take a closer look, isn't this a little star on a local TV station recently, and as far as I know, this developer has a wife. I walked around the house and spat in my heart like a dog.
"I don't know what evil happened, but it's like this when I came out of Qingtong Manor." The developer was puzzled. Ma Ming asked, "Didn't I say try not to go in until the problem is solved?" β
His tone was not very good, and the developer hurriedly smiled: "Hey, this little woman insisted that her earrings fell inside, and I said to buy them again, but she refused, so she had to go in and find them herself." As a result, it fell into the fish pond, and when it was fished out, it became like this. β
My heart fluttered, interrupting the conversation and asking, "Yuchi?" Isn't it the pool with a lot of dead fish in it? β
"Yes, yes, that's it."
I muttered a few words and turned away. This turn happened to meet the little mistress's gaze. She sat listlessly in place, maintaining this position for at least twenty minutes since we entered the room, and she hadn't moved. Her expression inexplicably reminded me of a dead fish in a pond. Infiltrating people panicked.
Ma Ming frowned and walked over, opened her eyelids and mouth to observe, but didn't see anything wrong, it was a normal person's ruddy face. It's just that she doesn't react, and seems indifferent to the stimuli of the outside world, like a ragdoll who has lost her soul.
The developer hurriedly said: "She has maintained this posture all night, and I don't pay attention to me when I talk to her, master, you can take a look, what is going on?" β
Ma Ming groaned for a moment, and suddenly reached out and pinched the back of her neck. The little mistress suddenly bounced all over, like a doll that had been pressed on a switch, her back stiffened, and her hands and feet were tense. As soon as Ma Ming let go, she seemed to have no power again, and her eyes fell blankly. I happened to be next to me, and when I saw this situation, I subconsciously picked it up. After picking it up, I found that the owner of the family was present, and I was immediately embarrassed. But the developer seems to have been caught up in this strange strange thing now, and he doesn't have time to dwell on the little thing of me taking advantage of his mistress.
Ma Ming seemed to want to make a move, and when he saw me clubbing beside me, he instead shouted at me to pull away the hair on the back of the little mistress's head and show the back of her neck. He himself returned to the table and pulled out a small black jar from his backpack.
The woman's hair was thick and permed into big waves, draped over the back of her head like seaweed. I brushed her hair away, and immediately gasped, and in an instant a tingling chill rushed through my body, and I almost threw the person out of my hands.
"What do you see?" When the developer saw my reaction, he couldn't help but be very curious, and he also stepped forward to check the situation. I said, "Don't look at it!" "I'm afraid that he will have a psychological shadow after reading it, and he won't be able to stand up for such a beautiful little mistress.
However, it was too late, the woman's white neck, dense black bite marks had already caught his eyes, the developer screamed, took a few steps back, and slammed his butt on the ground in horror: 'What is this?!' β
Although the bite marks are dense, each one is only the size of a coin, oval-shaped, and the tooth marks are fine, a little pus on a hot day, and a faint fishy smell. At this moment, I am sincerely glad that I am not an intensive phobia, otherwise I would have been able to ascend to heaven on the spot when I saw this.
The woman wore a red dress. The wound extended from the back of the neck to the inside of the skirt. I faintly saw the lead-gray scales, and after thinking about it, I should not be nosy, so I hurriedly looked away. But the tragic picture of the wound kept coming back to my mind.
Fine, fishy-smelling...... A startling guess popped into my head, the developer said that something was wrong with the starlet when he fell into the pool, and that the wound could not have been a dead fish's bite, right?
I had a vivid picture before my eyes, a school of belly-up fish in the pond suddenly rolled their eyes the moment the woman fell, and their rotting fins scrambled to rush up, cunning and dark, leaving their mark on the intimate parts of the sun that could not be seen...... It's like a curse sign, which means that sooner or later the person will have to come back. Her final destination is the bottom of the pool.
My hands trembled, and I almost couldn't catch anyone. Ma Ming was struggling with the lid of the small jar, and kicked me when he saw this: "Why are you stunned?" People are going to fall! β
I came back to my senses and quickly straightened the little star, but the ominous omen hovered in my heart like a haze. Am I also unknowingly becoming someone else's prey? The ghost who called me young master, what the hell is in mind?
Ma Ming finally opened the twisted cap, and a foul smell suddenly broke through the sense of smell that forbade rape me, I retched and asked, "What is this?" β
Ma Ming: "Are you sure you want to know?" β
"......," I shook my head slowly.
"Then don't move to ask Xiwen, help me up! Otherwise, if something happens, I'll pay you a debt. Ma Ming kicked me again, I was busy with a serious attitude and straightened the little star. Naturally, the developer didn't need to count on him for help, as early as the moment he saw the curse mark, he ran behind the cabinet and hid, poking his head out to pay attention to this side from time to time, with an undisguised disgust. When I saw this scene, I couldn't help but sigh for these little girls, relying on the fact that they sold their hue capital at a young age, and gave a cheating scumbag who only had money and no heart as a little lover, why bother?
Soon, don't explain to Ma Ming, I also know what this foul-smelling little jar is in. I'm not as good as I don't know. I saw Ma Ming reach in, dig out a big lump and pat it on the back of the star's neck, and then spread it evenly. I saw half of the thing that had not been completely crushed into pulp fell out from between Ma Ming's fingers, and when I looked closely, it turned out to be a dead leech.
"......" I was speechless again, choking on his strange magic props. The leech slurry is pale yellow when it is spread, and the biochemical level of the smell is comparable to the fishy smell, Ma Ming wiped his hands clean, picked out a needle from the cloth bag, his eyes were concentrated, and he pierced into the back of the woman's neck with a loud sound.
In an instant, black plasma shot out, the little star's eyes widened, and he suddenly struggled wildly, the needle in Ma Ming's hand was pushed into the flesh by herself, and cold sweat broke out in an instant, and she turned her head and shouted at me: "Quick, hold her!" β
I was stunned for a short moment, and then I reacted immediately, and hurriedly held the person down. Ma Ming's hand picked up the needle and fell, and quickly pierced the silver needle into several key acupuncture points at the back of her neck to expel the black blood. The soft and delicate body under the palm suddenly twitched violently, I couldn't hold her back, and the little star suddenly pushed me away and vomited black blood on the tiles shopping in front of me.
Poof. Something seemed to be spit out, wriggling from side to side in a puddle of blood on the ground. When I looked closely, I found that it was full of wriggling maggots, which immediately made me choke with nausea.
After the little star spit out this mouthful of black blood, the whole person's spirit was obviously much better, and his eyes also regained their brightness. Ma Ming took out a handkerchief to wipe off the silver needles and cherished them back into the cloth bag. I asked, "What is this?" Is it also a type of mantra? β
"The curse seal is also participatory, this is the seal under the livestock, the official name is the Shura seal, only places with heavy yin qi will be easy to raise this kind of thing." After a pause, Ma Ming said again: "This is all pediatrics, I have seen the Fox Fairy Seal before, that is ...... Ooh. He grimaced with a toothache, as if he had thought of some memory he didn't want to remember.
Seeing that this side had calmed down, the developer walked out from behind the cabinet, pointed to the little star, and asked reluctantly, "Is this a successful exorcism?" β
Ma Ming didn't look down on this kind of person, so he responded very perfunctorily. The developer exhaled and walked over, and was about to give Xiao Qing'er a cold greeting to save his image, but the next moment his face suddenly froze. I also stiffened, because I could clearly feel my arms being hugged. Looking down, the sobered little star was looking at me affectionately, and called affectionately: "Husband." β
I was like a lightning strike, the developer was stunned, and Ma Ming was obviously stunned. In this almost petrified atmosphere of the audience, for a long time, he slowly asked: "When did you hook up?" β
"......" I said angrily: "You shake your fart, hurry up and find a way, this woman is wrong!" β
The developer stiffly walked over and said, "Xiaoxiao, what's wrong with you, I'm your husband." β
Xiao Xiaoyu turned his head to look at him, his eyes were cold, let alone looking at the living, he didn't have such a deep hatred when he looked at the dead, which scared the developer to take a step back. I'm afraid that this is because the evil on the other party has not been driven away, and it will affect itself, so I am busy and hide away.
