The word "soul calling" can be said to be well-known, and there are many names in the local area, such as summoning souls, summoning souls, collecting souls, catching souls, gun souls, jumping Maoshan Mountain, etc., many scholars believe that the soul should have originated after Buddhism was introduced into China, evolved from the theory of cause and effect reincarnation, but in fact, it is not.

Spiritualism, which was first seen in the literature in the Confucian classic "Book of Rites", in addition, the "Conjuring Spirit" made by Song Yu in the "Chu Ci" legend also mentions this, but tracing its primitive, it is even more ancient, it should be a primitive witchcraft, and it is also a kind of primitive medical technology, which is widely used in fainting, confusion, critical illness, first death and other occasions of the living.

The most common of these occasions was the collection of children's souls, which was quite common even in cities half a century ago. If the child has a fever and is unconscious, the easiest way to deal with it is for the mother to hold the child, stroke his head, call his milk name, and shout "baby come back" and something like that; If that doesn't work, some witchcraft methods will be used, such as rituals such as burning paper money and knocking on the basin.

In the second volume of the "Wing Barnyard Compilation" written by Qingren Tangyong, there is a record of "collecting the gods", which tells about the folk soul collection methods in Changzhou, Jiangsu:

"When the world encounters a child's fright, the night is restless, that is, the child's underwear is placed in the bucket, the incense burner is in front of the blessing, one person hugs the fight and calls his name to return, and one person should say, 'come'."

Hu Pu'an, a famous modern literary exegete and poet of Nanshe, also recorded this in the chapter "Jiangsu" under the "National Folklore of China":

"If a child occasionally has a disease, he is suspected of being frightened and sick in a certain place, and he has lost his soul somewhere. It is a person holding a child's clothes and shoes, wearing a weighing pole, and a person putting a lantern to the place, scattering rice and tea along the way, calling his name (one call and one response) and returning, which is called the soul. ”

Although there are some differences in the way of calling souls across the country, there are some similarities, such as basically using the personal objects of the lost soul, especially the clothes, which is a bit like a clothing mound, indicating that there is some connection between the personal objects of the person and the soul, or in other words, there is a residual breath of the soul on the clothes.

If Cui Jinyuan can successfully convince the family who is looking at the house today, the method to be used by Muyuan is generally similar, but because of the other party's non-cooperation, Muyuan will be a little difficult. Moreover, this is the first time that Muyuan has done this kind of thing, and he doesn't know if he can succeed, but he has no choice.

The three souls refer to "the soul of heaven, the soul of the earth, and the soul of man", and the ancient name is "fetal light, cool spirit, and ghost spirit". Among the three souls, the heavenly soul is the yang, and the main spirit is wise; The soul of the earth is yin, driving behavior; The soul is the yang and the foundation. When the three souls are combined, it will prompt fate; The three souls are jealous of each other, and the seven spirits are competing. That is to say, if you lose your heavenly soul, you will become stupid; If you lose the soul of the earth, you will die; If you lose your soul, you will lose your master, and you will die.

In Mu Yuan's view, the soul that the little girl lost is the heavenly soul, and now that the three souls are separated, there is something wrong with the fate mechanism of the little girl, so the seven spirits cannot be coordinated, so they show symptoms such as fever, if they can't be sent back to the heavenly soul in time, the little girl's life will be in danger.

A group of people came to the courtyard, and Mu Yuan asked Cui Jinyuan to settle the wages of the construction workers first, and sent them back first.

"Brother Song, Yin Hao, do you still want to follow?" Makihara asked, "It is estimated that it may be very late in the future!" ”

"Of course I did!" Yin Hao said anxiously, "If you can't watch the play, just watch half of it!" ”

Hearing Yin Hao's answer, Mu Yuan couldn't help but roll his eyes, feeling that this buddy regarded him as an eyebrow in a ghost movie, and ran here to watch the live broadcast.

"Mu Yuan, let's follow, in case something happens, we can still take care of it!" Yang Song also echoed, he knew that he couldn't help much, but with Mu Yuan's side, he could rest assured after all. Besides, when the things of his childhood happened again, he didn't want to give up halfway again and waste this great opportunity.

"Alright! Then you will stay with me, and we will get into the same car in a while! Makihara explained.

Cui Laibao walked over, holding a thick stack of Kong Ming lanterns in his hand, there were dozens of them, and there was more than one kind of packaging.

"Muyuan, I don't know which one you use, so I bought some of the styles in the store!" Cui Laibao said that he didn't have the sincere and fearful demeanor of his father and uncle at all, and his attitude towards Mu Yuan was very casual, but there was a little excitement between his eyebrows.

"Any one will do!"

Mu Yuan reached out and picked up the top one, carefully unwrapped the wrapping paper, and slowly unfolded the Kong Ming lantern. Cui Laibao was obviously prepared, he took out his lighter and prepared to light it.

"No need, you can't use the fire of search for this matter today!" Makihara said.

The fire belongs to the yang, and if an ordinary fire is used to light the Kong Ming lantern, the little girl's earth soul will not be able to attach to it. Mu Yuan carried the Kong Ming lantern in one hand, and spread out the other hand, and the fire gathered from the palm of his hand and slowly floated into the Kong Ming lantern. As the temperature of the flame increased, the Kong Ming lantern began to slowly rise into the air, but it only rose three or four meters before hovering in mid-air.

Just when everyone was wondering if there was something wrong with Kong Minglantern, Mu Yuan's body suddenly trembled, and a shadow walked out of his body and walked all the way to the bottom of Kong Minglantern. Everyone was shocked, and looked at it, but found that the figure was exactly the same as Mu Yuan, and it was the second Mu Yuan, but this figure was a little illusory.

The illusory Mu Yuan nodded at Mu Yuan, Mu Yuan understood, he picked up the jade pendant around his neck, and with a gentle stroke, the figure of a little girl appeared beside him.

"Come on! Let's go home! The illusory Makihara smiled at the little girl.

The little girl nodded, walked slowly to the Kong Ming lantern, and took the illusory Mu Yuan's hand. Immediately after, the two figures began to float up slowly and disappeared into the Kong Ming lantern.

"Get in the car!" Mu Yuan commanded, and led straight to Cui Jinyuan's BMW parked at the door.

A group of people hurriedly climbed into the car and ran away under the traction of Kong Ming lanterns. It is also strange to say that the Kong Ming lantern is actually going against the wind, and it will stop whenever it flies away, and it seems to be waiting for Muyuan and his party between walking and stopping. At first, Mu Yuan was worried that the Kong Ming lantern would fly to the city, not to mention that the high-rise buildings in the city would block the view, even such a strange Kong Ming lantern would attract the attention of many people. However, Kong Mingdeng flew all the way to the more remote suburbs, and after thinking about it carefully, Mu Yuan understood that the people who can buy a house next to Cui Jinyuan's house must have very favorable family conditions, maybe there is a mansion on the edge of the city.

Just when Mu Yuan and the others were driving to chase Kong Mingdeng, in a farmhouse in the suburbs, an old man with white hair was sitting in the courtyard drinking tea alone, suddenly, he looked up at the distant sky, slightly stunned, between his fingers, his brows furrowed even tighter.

"What day is today, and it's not after the sub-hour, how can there be a Yin at this hour?" The old man muttered to himself.

After more than half an hour of trekking, Kong Ming's lantern finally hovered high above a residence, and Mu Yuan and others rushed over.

"Sure enough, it's a villa!" Mu Yuan thought to himself, "Alas, there are so many rich people these days! ”

"Muyuan, is this the one? Then I'm going to knock on the door! Jansson asked.

"Hmm!" Mu Yuan nodded, walked over to control the whereabouts of Kong Minglan, and took back the fire and the two souls.

"Makihara, are you alright?" Yin Hao saw that Mu Yuan's face was pale, sweat was dripping down his forehead and neck, and even the place on the chest and back of his T-shirt was wet, so he couldn't help but ask.

"It's fine!" Mu Yuan shook his head, but his voice revealed weakness, he wiped his sweat and sat directly on the flower stand next to him.

"Makihara, drink some water!" Cui Laibao was quite clever, and handed over a bottle of mineral water as soon as possible.

"Thank you!" Makihara did not refuse, he took the water and poured it violently.

After a doorbell, the door to the villa finally opened.
