After that, my mother felt that something was wrong, because my body was a little weak since I was a child, in the words of the old man, it is weak yang energy, easy to touch dirty things, I don't know how many times I have had a fever since I was a child, every time I either sleep and get better, or I can't be cured by going to the hospital like now, and I need to call the soul.

The southern saying is different from that in the north, our ritual of calling souls is relatively simple, go to a gentleman's house, (all those who do this there are called sir, and only those with eye disabilities are called blind) that gentleman will use a jar from a basin full of rice to scoop a full jar of rice, which is a completely full jar, and the jar should be filled at the same level as the mouth of the jar but not exceeded. Then he will cover it with a cloth and wrap it in it, and then he will start to call the soul, and when he will call the soul, he will sit on a high stool and close his eyes, and the gentleman will take the bag wrapped in the cloth and face you with the mouth side, touch your head lightly and recite the mantra.

You could hear him saying the mantra as he recited it, but strangely, I couldn't understand what was being said in this mantra at all, as if it wasn't a language I knew, not Mandarin, not a dialect, not even English.

The jar will be placed in different places on your head during the mantra, on your shoulder, or next to your ear.

If you really lose your soul, there will be less rice in the jar, if not, the rice in the jar will not change, many people may not believe it, but this thing is really amazing. Because the rice is glutinous rice, and it is compacted, it will be loaded several times when the rice is loaded to ensure that the rice is solid, and when the rice is less, it is also missing a corner, just at the edge of the jar, the rice is missing a mouth, so there is no such thing as a trick.

The most important thing is to go back and sleep for an hour or two after each soul call, and the fever will be cured.

This time my mom took me to a temple in the town, which I didn't know very well because I had never been there before.

It was a temple that was some years old, the house was old, there were some murals on the walls, but a lot had fallen off, and the tiles on the temple had been renovated.

Walking into the door, there is a large incense burner in the center of the courtyard, the temple is filled with a smell of incense, which is emitted from the inside, looking up, there is a big Buddha there, the Buddha statue is lit with sandalwood in front of it, and there is an ancient breath from the Buddha statue.

Originally, I was struggling to stand, my body was very uncomfortable, my brain was a little confused with fever in the past two days, my body was very weak, and I don't know why, it may be psychological comfort, or it may be the effect of sandalwood, my dizziness has disappeared, my body temperature seems to have returned to normal, and the whole person has recovered some spirits.

An old woman came out of it and saw us, "You are coming." ”

"Sir, Mu Xuan has not been feeling well for the past two days, and he has not been well when he goes to the hospital, you see?" (We call both men and women Mr. there)

"Mu Xuan, your mother came to me last night, come and let me have a look." The old woman said.

As I said, I don't like to be near strange old people, but I still walked over to it, just not too closely.

She touched my forehead, and instead of summoning me with rice like everyone else, she just chanted something and closed her eyes.

After about a minute, she opened her eyes, "Did you come home late recently?" ”

I said yes, I went to Shepan Mountain two days ago.

The old woman said, "You've come across something unclean." Then he turned around and went back to the temple and took a talisman and told me to go home and burn it, and then take ash and soak it in water and drink it.

After that, I went home with my mother, I didn't get dizzy all the way, and I was more energetic, I didn't eat much in the past two days, and I had an appetite at this moment.

At this time, I naively thought that I was completely well, so I didn't pay much attention to the talisman, and I didn't drink it after the talisman burned, so the ashes were blown away with the wind.

Paper is made of plant fibers, but when burned, it produces some toxic gases like carbon monoxide, and I really didn't dare to drink it when I looked at the pile of black ash.

As a result, at seven o'clock that night, my body began to feel uncomfortable again, dizzy and nauseous, and vomited for a long time, regretting eating so much at noon.

I didn't take my temperature, because I didn't have the strength to go downstairs to get the thermometer anymore, and I was lying straight on the bed, so uncomfortable, I felt that my body was rolling, my mind was confused, and I couldn't remember what I was thinking about anymore.

I fell asleep in a daze and sat down in that dream, which was one of the most bizarre dreams I have ever had, but the most dangerous, and I had no doubt that if it had not been for that little girl, I might not have come back.

There is always something in this world that is unbelievable but real, there was a time when I forgot everything that had happened before, but after that, those things came like a tidal wave, and I had to believe it, I often said to the people around me, you can not believe it, but you must maintain a sense of awe, if you don't do it, you will not die.

There are basically two groups of people there, one group believes in Buddhism, the other group believes in Christ, and some people believe in nothing and believe that science can explain everything.

But generally speaking, we still believe in the majority of Buddhism, there are many temples in the town, and there is a more famous Foshan, there are many people who go to the temple to incense every year, especially when Guanyin Bodhisattva is born every year, the 19th day of June in the lunar calendar, the mountain is crowded with people, almost this Foshan is crowded, there are local, there are foreign, there are people who believe in Buddhism, there are people who believe in Christ, people who believe in Buddhism will basically go to worship, incense, and most of the people who believe in Christ who will go there are young people, Purely because of the excitement.

The town's respect for Buddhism can be seen from this, I was weak and sick since I was a child, my mother took me to Foshan to be a lay disciple, in order to bless me, how was my health later, I forgot how many years I entered the lay disciple, but then my mother told me about my birth, these things have always been fresh in my memory.

I was born with a second child, and there was an older sister on it, and my mother was very surprised when she was pregnant with me, because she didn't think about having another child at all, and her first reaction after knowing that she was pregnant with me was to beat me off.

It was only at the persuasion of my grandfather that I did not go to the hospital immediately, but discussed with my father for a few days.

The result of the discussion was to knock me out.

My mother immediately went to the hospital, but the doctor said that the time was too early, so I asked my mother to go to the fetus later, and the second time I went, it was just the right time, and when I entered the hospital, my mother saw the bloody appearance of the fetuses that were beaten down, and heard the screams of those women, afraid of pain, afraid of blood, and went home again.
