Behind the man in the robe was an old woman in cotton and linen clothes.

This old woman is a little familiar, but I haven't seen her before. Behind this old grandmother, followed by Grandma Yin and Yin Laosan, Yin Laosan was still holding the familiar strong son in his arms.

After that, I came out with a few relatives from Grandma Yin's house, not from our village, but when Grandma Yin's house was treated, they came, and I met a few times, so I recognized it. They were holding several tablets in their hands, one of which was made of black wood, very large, and it was a long time old when I looked at the years, and it said Yin Rengui's spiritual position.

Yin Rengui is Grandma Yin's wife, and I heard that not long after Grandma Yin gave birth to Yin Laosan, this Yin Rengui passed away.

I pulled Lingzheng's sleeve, "Lingzheng, what kind of ritual are they?" I also took out all the ancestral tablets, which is so strange. ”

Ling Zheng said lightly: "It's a ceremony to send grievances." ”

"Grievance ceremony?"

"Well, in some places, when someone hangs himself, he will think that the soul of this person will not be gone, and he will find a substitute for the dead ghost, and in order to prevent someone from hanging himself again, he will send the rope of the hanged person away, which is the ritual of sending grievances."

"What about the rope? I didn't see it. ”

"On the neck of the hadron."

Hearing Lingzheng say this, I looked carefully, and then I saw that there was really a hemp rope hanging around the neck of the hadson, and there was a long-life lock cut of white paper in the hemp rope.

Because I was curious about this ceremony, I pulled Ling Zheng to watch silently.

At this moment, four more middle-aged men came out of the room, and they carried a large table together, and there was a statue of a god on the face of the old Li Yan, as well as salt, rice, willow branches, peach branches, and other things, and a chicken and a duck were hanging from the front and back of the table. I asked Lingzheng what this was for? Lingzheng replied to me, this is called building a rooftop table, the four corners of this table are nailed with mahogany nails, this is called Zhen Sisha, this lifting the rooftop table to pass each intersection, will be pasted with a green bamboo talisman in advance, that is, a rune made of bamboo, with black and white lines on it, seven lines each, plus a bunch of gold paper, put at the intersection together.

We followed the procession of the ceremony and walked all the way forward.

Looking at the direction, it should be the Bund.

There are more and more people watching the excitement, after all, only my grandmother has done such a big ritual in Nanwu Village before, and it is the first time that this "master outside" has come to practice the law. When I looked back, I saw my grandmother standing at the gate of the yard and waving to me, my grandmother should have known for a long time, I waved to my grandmother and motioned for her to go with me, she didn't say anything to me, only smiled and nodded.

When I passed by a few forks in the road, I saw the green bamboo talisman that Lingzheng said, and it was exactly the same as what Lingzheng said.

The Taoist priest in the yellow robe waved the peachwood sword in his hand, kept turning around the strong son, and then walked around the people who carried the heavenly table a few times, stopped behind the table, picked up the brush on the table with his right hand, pinched the's comb with his left hand, and made a little blood, he dipped the chicken blood with the brush hair, and then walked to the strong son's side and drew a talisman on the strong son's forehead.

I don't understand this, so I ask Lingzheng what does this mean?

Lingzheng replied to me that this is a soul fixing talisman, and after the child falls asleep, the soul can easily leave the body, so he first sets the soul of the strong son, and then begins to perform the final ritual.

After doing this, the chief led everyone directly to the top of the Bund embankment.

I whispered Lingzheng what they were doing here? This hanged man is not a water ghost, what are you doing by coming to the water's edge?

Lingzheng said that to hang oneself is to die for fire, and fire and water are mutually reinforcing, so they will burn the hanging rope and throw it into the water.

Sure enough, the chief instructed Grandma Yin to take off the rope around Qiangzi's neck.

I asked Lingzheng how he could understand so much. Have you ever done such a ceremony before? Lingzheng nodded yes, but at that time, what he did was a little more complicated than this, at that time, he had to go through soul purification, driving back, secret imitation, sending evil, worshipping and scattering souls, etc., and finally turned the rope into a water evil.

When Grandma Yin took the rope, the old grandmother in cotton and linen clothes went over to grab the red rope in Grandma Yin's hand, Grandma Yin refused, the two pulled and pulled, and finally quarreled loudly, Qiangzi woke up and cried loudly, Yin Laosan was anxious to persuade the fight, and called the old grandmother in cotton and linen clothes to call Mom.

This mother woke me up, it turned out that this was Yin Laosan's mother-in-law, Xuemei's mother.

No wonder I felt very familiar when I saw her, she looked quite similar to Xuemei.

Several people quarreled, and the long sword slashed on the table, and the sound was so loud that the two grandmothers were immediately stopped. The Taoist elder shouted: "The ceremony of sending grievances cannot be completed smoothly, if someone hangs himself in the village, you come to me again, I don't care." ”

At this time, someone whispered: "Xuemei is not hanged in our village." ”

Xuemei's mother's eyes suddenly turned red: "What? If you didn't hang yourself in your village, your village is not responsible? If it weren't for the third child bullying our Xuemei, would she have been able to go back to her parents' house and hang herself? ”

Yin Laosan knelt on the ground with Qiangzi: "Mom, Mom, I was wrong, Mom, don't say it again." ”

Grandma Yin also secretly wiped away her tears: "In-laws, Xuemei is gone like this, and my wife is not happy, let me send this rope away, okay?" ”

Xuemei's grandmother also cried: "This is my daughter's rope, I must give it by hand." ”

At this time, someone in the crowd spoke again: "Isn't it over if you pull one head alone, save more trouble, and quarrel." ”

When the two grandmothers heard it, this person made sense, they didn't quarrel, they didn't cry, one of them held a hemp rope, slowly walked to the Taoist chief, and apologized to the Taoist chief, the Taoist chief was also a cheerful person, didn't say anything, held a peach wood sword and led the two grandmothers to the river, and the rest of the people were not allowed to pass.

I saw them walking downhill, but I couldn't see it, so I wanted to comfort Qiangzi, but I didn't expect Qiangzi to fall asleep in Yin Laosan's arms again.

This kid, he can sleep a few times on such a noisy occasion, it seems that he is tired these days.

This grievance ceremony is almost over, I pulled Lingzheng and was about to go home, and Yu Guang suddenly glanced at the tablet in the hands of the few people who followed behind Yin Laosan, and there was one written on it: Yin Jie's spiritual seat, the second son of the Yin family.

Yin Jie?

I thought to myself, I said it wasn't so coincidental, right?

I hurriedly called Lingzheng to go and see it, Lingzheng said that he had already seen it, and I asked him: "Then you said that this Yin Jie, could it be the owner of the corpse oil makeup factory in Jiangxin Town?" ”

Lingzheng's eyes narrowed, then he raised his hand and began to count.

After a while, Ling Zhengcai said: "When I was investigating this case back then, I found out that Yin Jie was dead, but Yin Si didn't have his soul, it turned out to be like this, it turned out to be like this." ”

I hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Yin Jie is cheating to death."

"Death?"

"Hmm...... He was indeed dead, and the Yin family held a funeral and set up a spiritual seat for him, but later his soul was put in another body and brought back to life. ”

I was shocked: "This is ridiculous, if everyone is like this, won't they never be able to 'die'?" ”

"No, the caster of this resurrection spell will die in place of the recipient."

"Huh? So who would be so stupid? used his life to save Yin Jie, but he died? ”

Ling Zheng turned around and looked into the distance: "If my guess is correct, the caster of the resurrection technique is the last person in charge of the Yu family. ”

I thought about it and exclaimed, "Definitely!" ”

That way, everything goes smoothly. The Yu family is also in the Yin Hall, and they have this ability, and we have proved it before, Zhao Tianming and Yin Jie have dealings. Now there is only one doubt, that is, why did the person in charge use his life to exchange Yin Jie's rebirth?

Ling and I were going home, and Shen Yan asked why we went? also said that when he heard Grandma Yin's gong and drum announcing the sky, was there any happy event?

While serving the meal, I talked to Shen Yan.

"Shen Yan, why aren't your curiosity heavy at all?"

Shen Yan replied to me: "People with a lot of curiosity generally don't live long, and my sister still wants to live a few more years." ”

"Cut...... People who don't have curiosity are people who have lost their childlike innocence, people who don't have childlike innocence, they age fast, be careful that you will be old in a few years, and you won't be able to get married. ”

"Really? Do I look that old? ”

I froze: "Old, the corners of my eyes are wrinkled." ”

Shen Yan hurriedly put down the bowl and ran to the bathroom to look in the mirror, I looked at her like this, and slowly felt that she was becoming more and more like a normal girl. I think when I first met her, she grabbed the snake with one hand and held the knife in the other, and when the knife fell, the snake was split in half. And now Shen Yan is worried that she won't be able to marry for a few wrinkles, haha.

My grandmother asked me if there was a meat dumpling ceremony at Grandma Yin's house just now, and I said no, it was a ceremony to send grievances.

Ling Zheng smiled softly.

I wondered, what's so funny about this.

My grandmother told me, on the first day of junior high school, this meat dumpling ceremony is a ceremony to send grievances. Sending meat dumplings, this meat dumplings are not real meat dumplings, but used as a metaphor for hanging people, sending meat dumplings is to send the rope used for hanging out of the water, where there is water, where there is sea, it is such a ritual. When performing this ritual, not only must a mage or Taoist priest be invited to suppress the evil spirits, but the villagers must also avoid rushing into bad evil spirits.

As soon as my grandmother finished speaking, King Ling's tomb also laughed at me.

I muttered, "I haven't seen it again, I don't know if it's normal, don't laugh, don't laugh." ”

Moreover, there are so many villagers watching the excitement today, everyone must not know that there is such a thing as chongsha.

King Ling Tomb drank all the porridge in the bowl in one go, and put the bowl on the table, "Woman, you are so stupid and cute. He didn't wait for me to reply, he turned his head to look at Lingzheng, "Senior brother, I'll go to Yujiatangkou to take a look." ”

Lingzheng took a piece of radish and raised his head, "Stay at home and don't cause trouble for me." ”

"But ......"

"Go back to the room and copy the Heart Sutra ten times."

"Huh?" King Ling's eyes widened as long as the bronze bell.

I was stunned, and then laughed: "Hahahaha...... Ouch, hahahaha, it's too 666, who was still laughing at me just now, hahahahahaha...... Heart Sutra, ten times, don't copy it wrong. Ah, hey, King Ling's tomb, little junior brother, don't go so fast, do you have enough paper? I've got a lot of them over there, so why don't I lend you some......"

"The first year of junior high school." Lingzheng took a pair of chopsticks and shredded potatoes and put them in my bowl.

My heart was sweet, "Huh? "Be shy.

Ling Zheng said lightly: "I asked you to copy the Great Compassion Mantra a hundred times that day, but I forgot to check it, have you copied it?" ”

“……”

Grandma chimed in and said, "Oh yes! And a hundred times on my side, the first day of junior high school, you have been so idle in the past two days, you must have copied everything, right? ”

“…… Hehe. ”
