Chapter 16: Water Ghosts
I believe that most friends know more or less in their minds that there is one or several places where people will drown bizarrely, even if they don't know, they have heard of others, and even if they haven't heard of others, they know about water ghosts. Maybe you will say, what bullshit is a water ghost, it is a sloth. Water monkeys only. Science has reported it all.
I say to you, NONONO! Did the science report show you the photos? Why is it so coincidental that there are water monkeys in the place where people drowned! According to this, the number of water monkeys is so small, why is it not a protected animal? Of course, I'm not questioning the science, and I don't intend to lead people to overturn the idea that water monkeys exist, so we should believe in the existence of water monkeys, even if I haven't seen them.
After all, this is an era of believing in science, although many things are far-fetched, but science will still explain to us, in order to keep pace with the times, I do things that go against science, but I support science with all my heart, I don't know if this is a psychopath. Okay, let's talk about the water ghost tonight。。。。。。。
The formation of water ghosts is a very magical thing. There are two conditions: one is accidental drowning death, and the other is expected drowning death. In short, it is drowned in water.
Friends who have read the previous content should know that people have three souls: heaven, earth and man. After a person dies, the heavenly soul returns to the heavens, the earthly soul goes to the underworld, and the human soul wanders the cemetery. If there is no obsession or resentment, it will usually slowly dissipate on the 7749th. If you are obsessed and refuse to leave and escape the pursuit of the shadows, then you will stay in the world! To be a spirit that I often come into contact with, I need to lead the way before I can leave.
After three years, the three souls can converge and enter reincarnation, as for what the next life is, it really depends on Yin De. People who have done all the bad things will undoubtedly fall into the infernal hell or even the animal path, so it is said that people live for a lifetime and are frank and open, and only then can they have a humane reincarnation. Karma is a cliché.
Some friends always ask me, why do bad people live so well, where is the retribution? If I tell you that the lame stray dog you saw on the side of the street last night was a puppet army traitor in your last life, would you believe it? There are countless living beings in the world, and people who can cultivate themselves to the top of the food chain are already great yin virtues. We should be positive, grateful and cherishing, because we humans are the masters of the world
Oops, it's far away again. Is it because I'm too excited about today's holiday?
Speaking of the formation of water ghosts, when the drowning person's body functions completely fade, it is not when he is struggling on the surface of the water, nor when he sinks to the bottom, but slowly choking on water due to lack of oxygen and dies in the water. At the moment of death, the soul of the earth does not touch the ground, the soul of heaven does not look at the sky, and the soul of man naturally cannot come out, so after drowning, most of them will sink to the bottom of the water first, the soul of the earth will leave the body, and then surface the soul of the soul will be freed at this time.
Water is the source of all things and also has a purifying effect. When the body is struggling, those memories will be slowly purified, and then all memories will be washed away before sinking and floating. Those who drowned did not have the first seven, nor did they dissipate. Moreover, it is useless to do the rituals at home, but to do them by the river. Wandering around the place of death all day long, with only one purpose, to find the right person to replace him at the right time, and then with the help of the victim's memory, find his own place and enter reincarnation. And those who are killed by water ghosts will also enter the same cycle if they are not specifically treated. Looking for a stand-in, entering reincarnation, and finding a stand-in again, so the disgusting cycle continues, so there are always places where one or several people drown every year or every other year.
After all that, you should have picked up the watermelon knife in your hand and couldn't wait to cut me. Well, since you want to cut me, don't put up with it, come on! Forgive me for being naughtySince I have said so much foreshadowing, it is time to talk about the experience.
In fact, to be honest, I have never dealt with water ghosts alone, and I still don't dare to take on the work of water ghosts. One is because it's not safe, and the other is because I have a bad impression of the water ghost, and I'm afraid that my unicorn arm can't help but have a seizure. When it tried to find me as a stand-in, I forcibly broke it up. In this way, it is creating karma. Although I haven't dealt with it, I have worked with Master as a water ghost, so I can still take it out and say it.
Specifically, I forgot that year, and it was also a summer vacation in high school, and I also forgot which day. I just remember that after breakfast in the morning, when I was preparing for the morning class, the master said, don't do it yet, little cub, I will take you to meet the water ghost today.
I immediately shook my pen excitedly, just like the excitement I had just finished the college entrance examination. The water ghost is our name over there, we call the water ghost the water ghost over there, the hanged one is called the hanging ghost, the baby spirit is called the bean ghost, of course, sometimes adults scold children, and they will also say the bean ghost!
Speaking of which, I threw the pen and threw it on top of a stack of uncut yellow paper, and I was beaten up by Master because of this incident.
The victim is a family in the next town, I forgot what the surname is, a family of five, but the eldest son and eldest daughter have gone out to work, leaving the male and female hostess and the younger son at home, the younger son is a few years older than me, and he has reached the age of going out to work.
Here's the thing, three days ago on the night, the man and the hostess quarreled at home, and the quarrel was very fierce. I don't know what the quarrel is, anyway, the hostess I observed is the kind of submissive character, but after the man beat her, she couldn't figure it out for a while, and in the middle of the night, she went out of the house, and the man was also angry, and he didn't care so much, and he didn't chase it out. But the youngest son of the family suddenly stopped when he heard the quarrel, and at first he didn't care, and after a few minutes, he realized that the atmosphere was not right, and walked out of the room.
As soon as he saw that his mother was not at home, he asked his father where his mother had gone! His father said, if she wants to die, let her die! As soon as he thought about the youngest son, something was wrong, how could he die? In the countryside, I couldn't figure out three ways to end my life, one jumped into the river, the other hanged myself, and the third drank pesticides.
After excluding the two, the youngest son chased out, there is a pond 200 meters away from their house, which is contracted by a villager to raise fish, and it is the only pond in the village, which is smaller than the reservoir but not big, and the water is not deep, it is estimated that it is less than 1.8 meters. He picked up the flashlight and hurried to the pond to look for it, and before he could reach the pond, he found his mother's figure standing on the edge of the pond, looking hesitant to jump off.
He called out a few times, "Mother Laozi", his mother cried and said to her a lot of things that she didn't want to live, and the mother and son talked for a long time by the river, and finally his mother was moved by him and promised not to do stupid things. Just when the youngest son felt that he had persuaded his mother, and when his mother had turned back and took a step back to go home, he walked over to support his mother, and when there were still a few steps away, her mother suddenly took a step forward and jumped directly! As he jumped, he made an "ahh When he fell into the water, he was still saying, "Save me, just me!"
I don't know how many people have seen the kind of fish pond in the countryside, which is different from the pool, not all places are the same deep, but the same as the pot for stir-frying, the surrounding is very shallow, the deepest is in the middle, the pond is not big, and according to the description of the younger son, the deepest place in the pond is less than 1.8 meters.
By the time he jumped down, his mother had already reached the middle of the pond, not calmly walking, but being dragged in. As you could tell from the splash on the water, he had swam in haste to swim in, and while his mother was screaming for help, his father had already reached the pond. When he saw his wife jumping, he pulled out the big plug at the outlet and began to release the water, and then jumped without hesitation.
Fortunately, the pond is not large, and it soon swam to the middle, and the previous flashlight was the kind of battery discharge, not only did not light up, but also could not get wet, so the pond was dark, and they could only be identified by the faint moonlight and sound. When he came to their mother and son, he found that the younger son's hand was holding his mother's hand, and his mother's whole body was submerged in the water because of her short stature, and the younger son seemed to poke his head out from time to time to breathe.
The man was very watery, and when he saw this scene, he dived into the water. He wanted to pick up his wife and push her up, at least so that her head was above the water and she could breathe. But it stands to reason that people in the water will become very light due to the buoyancy of the water, but this is not the case, his wife's body is not only not lighter, but heavier than on land, and at this time his wife is struggling frantically in the water, and her youngest son is also pulling on it, how can it be so heavy?
But he couldn't think so much, so he kept hugging hard, the bottom of the pond is silt, not cement, some ponds will become very deep after a long time, his feet slowly sink into the silt with his strength, still can't hold his wife, he let go of his hand and groped on his feet, but he touched a lot of algae, densely wrapped around his wife's feet, and the other end of the algae seems to have a force pulling, algae tight. He quickly untied his wife's shoelaces and dragged them on... Then he pulled his wife's feet out with great difficulty. The moment he pulled out his wife's foot, his youngest son pulled her up, and the water was discharged quickly, and at this time his youngest son did not need to swim, and he could not drown his mouth and nose when he was standing, so he slowly walked to the shore with his mother in his arms.
The man also pulled his feet out of the mud and stood up again, and the water was not deep enough to drown him, and just as he was about to go to the shore, there was a touch of a hand that grabbed his foot, and he didn't know if it was algae or a real hand. He panicked, too, but as the water level got lower and lower. He knew that as long as he stepped his foot into the mud and didn't get pulled down, when the water was just up to his chest, the hand was gone, and he quickly climbed to the shore, and when he climbed onto the shore, he saw his youngest son and wife slumped on the shore. It seemed exhaustive, and he himself was tired enough. But he didn't dare to delay, so he hurriedly told them to get up and hurry home! However, when he returned home, his wife began to have a high fever and was talking nonsense, to the point of delirium.
He didn't take it too seriously, and put his wife on the bed after taking a shower and changing clothes. When he took off his trousers, a black handprint on the ankle of his left foot clearly appeared in his eyes, black and blue, the handprint was red all around, and the palm of his hand was white! People who live in the countryside generally know what's going on. Then early the next morning, I asked my youngest son to call a goddess to come to the house to exorcise evil spirits!
After the goddess came to the house, she may not have reached the conditions for going down to the yin (this is my guess), and she couldn't call the water ghost, so she had to prescribe some methods to exorcise evil spirits and left. However, those methods didn't work much, and after another day, the doctor was also called to see them. Aside from the fact that his wife's high fever had subsided a little, and the black handprints on his own feet had faded a little, there was no noticeable improvement.
So after many inquiries from his youngest son, he found out that my master might be able to do this kung fu, and then the master took me to their house with a shy and young man.
After listening to their descriptions, the master said, "It was the water ghost who found a substitute and was escaped by you, but the resentment and yin qi remained in your body, although this kind of thing does not lead to death, but it is also difficult to cure, unless you take in the water ghost, it will be difficult to heal."
They nodded in agreement. Master turned to look at me, and I nodded confidently.
The master said, "You nod your head, don't you take out the things that dispel yin qi first."
I hurriedly opened my backpack and handed it to my master. After the master expelled the yin qi, he wrote a prescription of traditional Chinese medicine, which can help drive away evil spirits and dispel yin, I know, but I don't know the prescription. I also once asked the master, and the master said that it was very simple, that is, silk thatch combined with some medicine to nourish blood and qi.
After doing all this, Master said, "Let's go, let's go to that pond and have a look!"
The man hesitated, but then led us to the pond. It was daytime, but it was also evening, and it was getting darker. It took us a short time to get to the pond, but the water in the pond was almost drained, and when the master asked what was going on, the man said that since he had released a lot of water that night, and there were a lot of fish in it, the person who contracted the pond simply fished out all the fish in it, and the water was basically drained!
Master nodded and said, "Then go back and finish eating first, and only come back when you wait." I understood what Master meant, because there was no more water to catch souls, and he was going to wait until the time to forcibly call out the souls.
Dinner is sumptuous, the duck fried in tea oil is particularly delicious, but the time to enjoy it is also short, and after all kinds of boredom wait for the child, the exciting moment is coming. The master also stopped talking with the man, got up and said, it's time to go to business, and then asked the man if he wanted to go together, the man gritted his teeth and said righteously, then I'll go with me, his youngest son also wanted to follow, but he stopped him. In this way, the three of us set off to the pond with two flashlights, and when we arrived at our destination, Master first took a water bowl and found the approximate location of the water ghost.
It was a place with dense weeds, under a date tree, with the sun on its back. Then the Master told us to step back, and He himself began to shout the soul. I won't disclose the steps and techniques, in short, in my opinion, it is extremely skillful and smooth.
The man was also in a lively posture, because he couldn't understand it, so he just stared at it, and it took about a few minutes. Master's body trembled a little, as if he was physically exhausted, and just as I was about to go and help him, Master suddenly stopped moving, and then pointed to the pile of weeds with his right hand. I took a flashlight and shone it over. I saw a humanoid figure lying in the weeds, but with unusually thick limbs, and its skin was blue, and its head was facing us, but its face was pale. It's the kind of white that has been soaked in water for a long time.
To be honest, the first time I saw a water ghost, it really looked beyond my cognition, although I wasn't scared, but my stomach was still rolling... I don't know if all the water ghosts are called out in this form, but the spirit spirit in that state is unacceptable to me, so I never take the work of the water ghosts, even though I am very good at water, and I am called the little white dragon in the waves. I know you're about to pick up the watermelon knife in your hand when you see this, but put it down, you can't cut me at all.
To get back to the point, at the same time that I saw the water ghost, the man also saw it. Sure enough, Jiang was still old and spicy, he was not very scared, but walked over with the master, and I also forced my tumbling stomach to walk around.
Master asked, take a closer look, and then think about it carefully, is he the person you just said four years ago after plowing the field and fell into the pond and drowned. The man stared at it carefully and said, "Well, that's right, except for the hands and feet are a little bigger, the appearance still hasn't changed much." That's it."
Master nodded, and then I asked Master why it looked so weak.
Master said that if you leave the water first, it will be very weak, and I also hit the charm to freeze it.
Then I said, "Is it time to send a soul?"
Master nodded. Then he asked the man about the location of the tomb of the spirit god. After obtaining the direction, the master stood behind the spirit god and began to send the soul towards the direction of the tomb. The technique is very strange, and it is very different from the usual method of sending souls. However, I didn't want to go to the field to learn. The first is that I can't remember Master's method so quickly, the second is that I have secretly made up my mind not to touch the work of water ghosts, and the third is that that method is really complicated and difficult.
After sending the soul, the master took three algae that originally belonged to the water under the water ghost, handed them to the man and said that they would be fried with Chinese medicine, and they would be almost fine within 7 days after drinking the medicine. Then he told the man that after he got well, the whole family went to the grave to burn some incense and burn some paper money, and thanked it for not killing. Then they went back to the man's house together. The man took out the reward and a basket of duck eggs. The master accepted the payment, rejected the duck egg, and said that he should give the duck egg to the water ghost's family. I have to go to worship!
After that, we went back. On the way, I asked Master, where did that water ghost go?
Master said that it did not find a substitute, so it could not be reincarnated, so that he would not harm others again. It can only be scattered!
I said, "Then why do you want people to worship?"
Master said that was what they should do. To pick up two lives, you should know how to be grateful!
I said again, Master, aren't you afraid of carrying karma when you break it up?
Master said, I'm afraid, but I can't help it, in the future, you and I will continue to do more good deeds to eliminate karma. Then he didn't say anything all the way, looking at the thin back of the master. I thought to myself, Master is so powerful, and he also has his own helplessness. The others are not!
