The night, once again ruled the world.

The soul-calling ceremony officially began with the Taoist priest striking the gong!

Soul calling is very common in various cultures in China, and I don't know how to explain it. Because before I was ten years old, I had the same thing. When I was a child, I was said to be frail and sickly, and I often saw things that were not very good, and I often fell into a coma for several days. At one point, there was no heartbeat, and the hospital was helpless. At that time, my father and I had just left my hometown, and I was displaced. In the end, it was the soul of an elderly relative of the night family who called for me, and it is said that I was hovering on the line of life and death, and I came back that night.

The doctor was surprised that I had suddenly recovered.

However, there are risks associated with improper soul calling.

Although Tuxue Village is not far from Spring City, in fact, the ritual of calling the soul is very different. Here, soul calling is very particular. Especially when Su Qing, the main body of the soul, is not there. It's not just the soul that her parents want to call back, it's her whole person.

After preparing a lot of excessively long, at half past eight in the evening, after the Taoist priests arranged the whole pig and chicken, they densely inserted a lot of fragrant wax on it and lit it. Then he motioned for the band to play. Two Taoist priests wearing yellow Taoist robes jumped onto the platform, one holding a peachwood sword and the other holding floating dust, and danced the great god.

This jump is more than three hours.

When it was almost twelve o'clock, one of the Taoist priests jumped down and shouted, "Tsk! ”

With a flick of his foot, he kicked the mat tied to the ground and spread it on the cold ground of the yard. One of Su Qing's pregnant relatives acted as she disappeared and lay down on the mat.

Then a group of female elders gathered around.

I watched it with relish. Su Qing's father came over and spread his hand like me: "Mr. Night Silence, you said there is something we need?" Isn't it time to give it to me! ”

"No problem." I nodded and handed over a bag containing Su Qing's hair. I found the hair from the girl's bathroom and wanted to throw it away for testing. Now it has become a stepping stone to participate in the soul-calling ceremony.

The uncle was satisfied and handed the hair to the old man not far away.

"Hey, you're a friend of Sister Su Qing?" Suddenly, a crisp voice rang in my ears. I was watching carefully, not noticing the voice.

"Hey, I'm talking to you. Why are you so rude? The girl simply stretched out her hand and shook it in front of my eyes. I blinked and looked away.

The girl in front of her was about 1.6 meters tall and about 18 years old. The long and neat short hair with a delicate face gives a pleasing feeling to the eye.

"Hello." I nodded at her and prepared to continue to follow the ceremony.

The girl suddenly got angry and slammed it on my hand: "I'm asking if you're Sister Su Qing's friend!" ”

I reluctantly lowered my head and replied, "It should be." ”

"What should it be, it's so tiring to talk to you." She fluttered her eyes and asked, "Boyfriend?" ”

"Not really." I scratched my head: "You family like to ask this kind of question." ”

"Because Sister Su Qing has never had a good male friend, and now suddenly a man comes to **** and says he wants to help. Now the entire Su family has spread the word. The girl pursed her lips and stretched out her hand to me: "My name is Su Qin, Sister Su Qing's cousin." ”

"Su Qin? Good lyrical name. My name is ......"

Before I could finish speaking, the girl had already interrupted me: "I know your name is Ye Buyu, I said it just now, and your name has spread throughout the Su family." ”

I touched the wings of my nose and was extremely powerless for their gossip.

"You seem to be interested in the ritual of soul calling?" Seeing that I didn't speak, she moved away.

"Yes, folk customs are usually interesting." I admitted: "The customs of each place carry the local culture, and there are some things that cannot even be explained by modern science. ”

"I think customs are harmful things." Su Qin snorted coldly: "Feudal superstition is the most harmful." ”

The girl's face revealed indescribable complicated feelings, and my heart moved slightly, and I asked, "What, do you have an opinion on the soul calling method?" ”

"I don't think so, but I really don't have much affection." Su Qin pouted.

I was immediately intrigued: "It's strange that usually a person has an aversion to something, all because that thing has hit her, or has a negative impression. Have you experienced anything? ”

"No, that's not my experience." Su Qin shook his head.

"If you don't mind, tell me." I said again.

"Of course I mind, why should I tell you?" The girl turned her gaze and looked uncertainly at the spirit-calling ritual that was in full swing.

"Maybe, it can lead to finding your cousin." I said slowly.

"Idiot, you're embarrassed to say this kind of bad excuse, it's just that you're curious." Su Qin completely saw through my purpose and snorted.

This girl is so young, why is her personality so unpleasant. Thanks to her good looks, it is estimated that her popularity in school is not good. I complained to myself and didn't talk to her again. The girl waited for me to answer, but she didn't see me open her mouth for a long time, and she didn't even pay attention to her, so she couldn't help it: "Hey, why don't you speak?" ”

"Since you won't tell me, then I, a curious person, have no choice but to continue looking at what interests me." I crossed my hands over my chest.

Su Qin stomped his foot and said fiercely: "Just say it, it's not a big deal anyway." ”

I turned my head back and listened to her slowly recount: "It was a strange thing that happened to a sister of my friend when I was in high school. It is said that her sister works in the suburbs and rides her bicycle from the factory in the suburbs back to the city every night shift. It's not far, but it's just more than ten kilometers. But the road conditions are not good, and it takes more than an hour to ride.

One day, on the way back to the city, her sister was in the field because of the urgency to urinate, but when she returned home, she was not in a normal mood. Not to mention madness, he often sleepwalks and runs far away. Her house is an old house, with only one gate for several houses, and it is firmly enclosed by a three-meter-high fence.

But every time her sister sleepwalked, no one knew how she left home. In the end, the family took turns keeping vigil every night, and when it was her turn, she finally saw with her own eyes how her sister walked out of the yard.

It was a dark and windy night, and the courtyard was as dark as ink, and the wind was blowing bitterly.
