Chapter 10: Elders
Let's talk about the business I received not long ago, here's the thing, a Hunan villager who is engaged in construction suddenly called in a very anxious tone, and the first sentence was: Something is wrong, this fellow Xinli, and I am in the same village. A few years older than me, he is a small bag foreman. I asked him what was going on, and he said that every day at three o'clock in the evening in their workshop there would be the sound of iron hammering, not a single sound, but a single piece. It's been going on for a week. At first they didn't care. Tonight, a worker's child yelled inexplicably before dinner and shook his head. It doesn't matter how you call it. Keep screaming and shaking your head. I said don't worry, I'll drive over now, you can take a picture of the child and show me. Then soak the rice in water and feed it to the child. Stuff it in your mouth too!
By the time I rushed over, the child had stopped resisting. Sitting on the small stool without saying a word, staring at a corner with empty eyes, I asked his grandfather if he had eaten, and his grandfather said that he would not shake his head after eating the blister rice, what should he do now?
I circled around the child and took out the compass to measure the spirit, but there was no supernatural reaction. This means that the thing has left, but the child's soul has not returned to the body and needs to be called back. In fact, this is very simple, just like sleepwalking, his body is unconscious, and the sounds around him cannot wake him up, the only way is to call his name, or pat him, and he will wake up naturally. But the child who has just been haunted is different and cannot be photographed. I asked his grandfather what the child's name was, and he said his name was Li **. I took a deep breath. Gently tap the index finger on the child's heavenly spirit cover. Shouted Li **. The child shuddered. There is no howling and crying as I imagined. Looking at me, he suddenly smiled and said, "Uncle, why don't you shave your beard." Looking at his innocent smile, I was speechless. I silently held a grudge in my heart. Pick up the kids. What's it?
The child's family lives at the end of the middle corridor, facing the corridor, and this room is called a gun brake in feng shui. Easy to summon. I called Brother Li to a quieter place and asked him, is the sound of iron hammering at night sure that it is in the middle of this house? Could it be that there are workers who work at night, he said no, they don't work at night, even if the construction will not have such a regular beating, I asked what the law is, he said it is like the kind of funeral in our hometown.
Suddenly, my heart tightened, the law of funerals in my hometown, that is the orthodox Taoist ritual procession. That kind of law is not learned by the living, is it the soul of the cultivator? After the death of a cultivator, the soul of the world does not care. Furthermore, I can be conscious. Now I hit hard goods. And according to my calculations, there are at least 4 of them, because the team of scientific instruments in our hometown is composed of four people.
I asked Brother Li again: Did you hear four voices, he said he didn't know, he didn't listen carefully... I said, listen carefully in the evening, and I'll come back tomorrow at noon!
As I was leaving, I hugged the child and secretly drew a charm behind his back. I patted him and said Uncle will come back tomorrow to play with you!
After practicing the Fa at about 7:30 in the morning, I calculated that this time should be the time after the master finished practicing the Fa and breakfast, so I couldn't wait to call the master's phone.
"Hey, Master, I'm going to borrow soldiers"
"Why does the little ghost cub remember to call the master, borrow the army as soon as he opens his mouth, and what happened?" The master's voice is still so kind and hard
"What did the old ghost say, didn't I just call you last week," I said
The master said that if there is a fart, release it quickly, I still have something to do here. I told the master about it. The master was silent for a while, and then said, "If it's a kung fu, you can't help it" I hurriedly said then what should I do? They're already going after the little ones!
The master said that you go and ask the address of the child, I think those spirits should be attached to something to follow them over, to cure the root of the disease, I will inquire about the affairs of their family in my hometown, if it is the spirit of the hometown and the past, I can call the soul from here to help you solve it, but you have to stabilize them, so as not to frighten them and hurt others when the spirit is summoned.
I understood what Master meant and asked Master what time it would begin. The master said that your skull is broken? Didn't teach you? Sure it starts at midnight (that is, twenty-three o'clock),
I was ashamed to say that I knew, hung up the phone in a hurry, and vaguely heard the master scolding, and the ghost cub knew to fill in the trouble for me.
My conversation with Master is like this, but I know that Master takes good care of me, and I respect him very much. Later, I will talk about why I got married to my master.
After breakfast, I set out to prepare the things I was going to use, and here I have to talk about what I need. My task is to trap them, and I don't need to call in soldiers to catch them, so what I need to do is simple. In fact, even if I ask soldiers and horses to catch them, I may not be able to beat them. At that time, I will not be able to escape punishment when the soldiers and horses are injured, so my mood suddenly relaxed, to be honest, this is the first time I have encountered such a fierce Dao spirit, with my ability, it is indeed as the master said, I can't do it. But just talking about trapping them is still within your reach!
There are no more than several kinds of folk Taoist ritual instruments: water bowls, ink buckets, bull horns, hexagrams, charms, red ropes, incense ashes, grave soil, copper coins, etc. As for the sleepy spirit, I only need the ink fountain line or red line, and the charm copper coin water bowl. In addition to the power of the spell itself, the power of the spell also needs to strengthen the yang power, and the blessed thing needs to use the rooster's comb blood, and the rooster's pure yang thing, the rooster's comb blood is even more.
In the vegetable market near my home, there is a stall, the hostess's surname is Sun, I call him Sister Sun, she is the boss who has been supplying me with chicken comb blood for a long time. I was able to get what I needed without any problems. Just prepare the charm and refining the ink fountain line at home, the method and principle I will talk about later, everything is ready, it is almost noon. When you have a bottom in your heart, you will feel comfortable. After lunch, I actually fell asleep.
As soon as I slept until one o'clock, I took a shower and went out. When I arrived at the construction site, it was almost half past two, and the workers inside basically went to work, and called Brother Li to say that I had arrived.
He hurried over, and before I could speak, he said to me, I listened carefully to the sound last night, and it should be three voices. I said it was a little bit better than I thought. In this way, you don't make a noise, and when nothing has happened, tell the workers to enter the room early at night and not come out.
He asked me if I needed help, and I said no, the ghost is scared. I'm afraid in case I get you. He said okay, when will it start, I said it's still early, you go ahead and get busy, I'll take a look around here.
I took out the compass and turned it around the outer circle for a long time, but I didn't find a trace of reaction, and the compass has a limited range of effect. So I guess they're attached to something in a room right now. It's normal that the day isn't the time for them to be active. Then I just need to wait until ten minutes before midnight, illuminate the exact location with a bowl of water, and then trap them with a copper coin and a charm with ink fountain wire, and my task is complete.
After sorting out my thoughts, I raised my hand and looked at my watch, it was almost 6 o'clock. Stomach began to growl. At this time, Brother Li's phone came just right and asked me to go to Cha Fan. I said that I am not familiar with this area, and there are no authentic Hunan restaurants here. He said that there is a drunken love for Hunan cuisine. Come and pick me up now.
Ten minutes later when they came, they brought a young man about my age, who said he was his nephew, and we nodded to each other. I got in the car and drove to the Hunan restaurant a few kilometers away. The secret steamed fish and poached eggs in that shop are delicious.
Brother Li took out two bottles of wine from his bag and said, We haven't seen each other for a long time, and we won't return home if we are not drunk. I said I had to run errands at night and drive home. You drink, and when you're done, I'll drive back. He said that's okay, since you brought it, let's drink it, it's going to annoy me to death these days.
Sure enough, after a few glasses of wine, he started asking me about the payment. I didn't give him a chance to bargain, and directly said that you have been working in engineering for so many years, and you must have encountered such a thing before. The fees in the industry are similar. You just look at it and give it. He understood. Of course, I didn't say that this time it was fierce, my master was helping. It might all seem the same to them, and I don't want to explain that much, and more importantly I don't want him to know that I can't handle it!!!
I have to admit that they are really good at talking about engineering, and they ate for nearly three hours at a meal. When I walked out of the hotel exhausted, I found that it was almost ten o'clock. I'll have to hurry over and get ready. Hurriedly came to the construction site, I told Brother Li that you should ask the workers to go to their rooms and come out after a while, and don't walk around outside at will, in fact, there is no need for this, but just in case, I don't know what level of Dao Ling's cultivation will go. If it is not controlled, it will be a great sin to hurt the innocent.
Brother Li called the leaders of each group and asked them to convey their meaning, his speech was clear, he didn't want to drink a bottle of liquor at all, and secretly admired it in his heart, how could this TM be so drinkable!
While thinking, he took out the phone and dialed the master's number. After a ring, the master picked it up, presumably waiting. The master said, "Okay, I'll wait for the time." I replied with a hard work, old ghost. Hang up the phone. and Brother Li and his nephew said, you should also go back to the room to sober up first. Okay, I'll call you.
They even hiccuped in unison! Then he turned around and left, which was a sign of respect for me. Speechlessly, I took out the water bowl and began to shine on the spirit. Following the instructions of the water bowl, the medium was indeed in the room where the child was last night. Since they saw me yesterday, they didn't have a chance to eat when they saw me, and asked me if I was ready to eat. This is the first sentence of greeting when we meet in our hometown.
I said that Cha Gua is tired (after eating), I want to get something in your room, you go to Brother Li's room to play first, okay, I'll call you. The grandfather nodded, hugged his grandson, called his wife, and walked out, looking at the child's innocent smile. I think it's worth it. Take out the compass, find the specific location of the medium, and feel guilty. It's actually a couple of SpongeBob SquarePants dolls! I remember that I thought I was taking pictures.
Measured with a compass, the pointer shakes gently. It doesn't seem to be overbearing. Light three sticks of incense and insert them to the side. While chanting the requiem, he took out the ink fountain wire, passed through the charm and copper coins, and surrounded the corner. Observing that the compass shaking began to get more and more intense, I picked up speed. After securing the ink fountain line. I knelt down in front of the incense and began to fold my hands with my hands, and began to whisper an offensive incantation,
Actually, I don't have to kneel because they're trapped by me. It's just that the master said that everything should be respected. The same goes for the spirits. It doesn't matter what it does, whatever the motives. They need to be treated well as a last resort. Because they used to be just like us.
As soon as I arrived at 11 o'clock, I sent a message to the master: It's okay.
Half an hour later, the compass didn't respond, and I knew that the master was over. sent a message to the master: Thank you, thank you! The master didn't reply to me, I knew that he was busy sending them away now, I packed up my things and walked to Brother Li's room, they were watching TV, and the child was the first to find out about me and shouted Uncle, I said are you sleepy. Ask Grandpa to take you to bed.
Then he turned to his grandfather and said that he was fine. His grandfather said gratefully, "Thank you, I want a lot of money." I said no money, this is Brother Li's business. He smiled and turned around to leave, and suddenly remembered one thing I asked again, who gave you those SpongeBob SquarePants doll pillows in your house, and his grandfather's eyes were red and he said to me that it was the child's uncle's house, and his uncle died of lung cancer in the first half of the year. The child brought it and played with it.
I nodded and said you should go back and rest early. I have to go to work tomorrow.
After they left, I nodded thoughtfully, so it was。。。。。。
When I raised my hand and saw that it was almost 12 o'clock, I was about to go out when I raised my feet, and suddenly remembered that my remuneration had not been confiscated. I turned back to the house and found that Brother Li was actually lying on the bed and falling asleep. I also kicked him in the shoe. I didn't wake up. Kick him hard and he wakes up. Said in a daze. Mother sells more than a dog, she wants to die! I said it's me, and it's done.
He came back to his senses and said, oh, oh, how fine, I'll send you back. I said give me a fart, give me the money. I'm going back. He found the bag, took out an envelope from it and handed it to me, and then fell asleep, estimating that the stamina had come. For the sake of the envelope, it is relatively thick. I don't blame him either. said that you are trapped to death, Habao.
It was at this time that I received a message from my master. Said that the kung fu was done. I hurriedly replied: Thank you, master, go home to see you on May Day, and rest early. Good night! The master also ignored me.
I felt guilty in my heart. After leaving the teacher, the master will still trouble the master from time to time. And the master did his best to help me without complaint, without seeking any benefits. But I can't always be with my master. I can't even call the master from time to time to say goodbye. As the only apprentice, what I did at this point was extremely unqualified. I need to introspect and I urgently need to improve. The master is very old. Although he often says: Don't keep running this way when you're out of school. Whenever he said this, he could see the helplessness in his eyes. Can also bring me to choke! So once I have more than 3 days to spare, I will go back to my hometown and go to the mountains to see the master. Drink tea with him, practice the Fa, take a walk in the bamboo forest and chat!
Stride out the door. When I saw the kid, the light in their room was still on, and I turned back again. Seeing that the child is already asleep. I called him Grandpa. Pull out three of them from the inside of the envelope. Hand it to him and said, "Buy a few more SpongeBob SquarePants for that kid, those are too dirty, I'll help you throw them away." After that, I went over to get the doll. His grandfather was stunned for a moment, as if he was a little reluctant, saying that it was a pity to throw it away, just wash it.
I said, "I'll buy it." You get to rest early. Striding over to where I parked with the doll. I don't want him to know about it, the so-called seeing things and thinking about people, and the past is over. There's no need to add to them. This block. I'll take it!
Since then, this matter has been dealt with, and the layman looks at the excitement, and the insider looks at the doorway. It's not easy to say it's simple, and it's not complicated to say it's complicated. I called the master just now to ask for confusion, which of the other two spirits besides the child's uncle are they? The master said that it was also a new person who died nearby, and it was a ritual made by the child's uncle.
The master has been sent away, the soul has returned to the right path, and after forty-nine days, the three souls will converge, I hope there will be a good reincarnation!
