Chapter 20: The Conjuring
I nodded and said yes.
If I were Gao Lin, rest there. Suddenly broke into the person, buddy, your dead mother and children didn't go to reincarnation, they turned into ghosts and wandered in the wilderness for four years. Moreover, they are evil spirits that take a living girl to the underworld to gouge out her eyes.
Seriously, if someone says this about my mother and my child, in addition to not believing it, I will also be anxious. Gao Lin asked us to summon Wang Fang's soul to verify, I can understand his approach!
Brother Guo looked at the time and said, "Let's go, let's go get the paper man." ”
We packed everything we needed for the night, got in the car and set off. We first came to the "paper man" in the side street, and I was stunned as soon as I entered the door. The five paper figures hanging on the wall during the day and the three sitting on the chairs in the aisle with their facial features drawn are all gone.
I saw the boss old man Zhang with a ruddy face, sitting behind the glass counter with a smile eating peanuts and drinking a small beer.
"Lao Zhang, is the business good? All those paper figures were sold during the day? Brother Guo walked to the counter and said.
Damn, Brother Guo's words shocked me. During the day, there were three painted and five unpainted in this small shop, making a total of eight paper figures. The shopkeeper sold us a good piece of paper, one hundred and seventy-one. Even if those eight paper figures use paper, even if one only sells for 100 yuan. Relying only on paper sellers all day long, this humble little old man made a net profit of 1,000 yuan.
I'm a mother, it's much better than when I go to work. Thinking about myself and Lao Wu's overtime work, and only having that pitiful salary in a month, my heart is dripping blood.
"Whatever you earn, it's all spent on wine." Old man Zhang stood up with peanut beans in his mouth, made a gesture for us to wait, and turned around and went to the back room.
Soon, with the sound of "bang, bang, bang" paper, he came back with a half-human-tall paper figure lightly.
"Look, how's that!" He handed over the tied paper figure to Brother Guo.
I hurried over to take a look, oh my God, this paper figure is not only well-tied, but even the eyebrows, eyes and nose painted on the face are so good-looking. Moreover, our paper figures are different from those that are sold to others during the day.
Although the eight paper figures also have eyes and noses painted on their faces, their mouths are drawn with red brushes and red strokes. And our paper figures, the mouths are just like real living people, the middle is empty, and there are upper and lower lips that can be moved.
Brother Guo nodded violently and said Okay, he wants this. After paying the balance we went back to the car, and I gently put the paper figure in the back seat.
"When I get to Gao Lin's house later, I'll put it on the sofa. Brother, believe it or not, I summoned Wang Fang's soul back and let it be attached to the paper man. And then, hey, hey......"
I asked him what he wanted to say, don't sell it. If Lao Wu didn't work overtime and couldn't get out, you would definitely be anxious with you if you held him back like this.
"Hehe, I can't say it now, I'll let you and Gao Lin see the terrifying scene later!" Brother Guo continued to sell his guanzi, turned his head to look out the window and ignored me.
The paper figure was lying in the back seat, and I drove cautiously so as not to break it.
At night, there was little traffic on the road, and we quickly drove to the happy community. Come to the bottom of Building 9 in District 3 and park your car. I took the paper figure off the back seat and gently carried it on my shoulder and went upstairs.
Brother Guo knocked on the door a few times, the door opened, and Gao Lin, whose eyes were red, let us in. Brother Guo introduced me and told him that I was the victim of my cousin being taken to the underworld.
Gao Lin just snorted and didn't have any other communication with me. I know he won't believe us until we summon the ghost of his daughter-in-law, Wang Fang.
Gao Lin walked in front with Brother Guo, and I followed behind with the white paper figure "Bang Bang Bang". Gao Lin didn't see what it was at first, and the "bang" of the paper caught his attention.
"Oh, what is this!" He turned around and saw what I was carrying, and his feet slipped and he almost sat on the ground.
Brother Guo hurriedly explained to him that this was a paper man, a paper man. When he summons spirits, he casts spells and recites spells, using the relics of the deceased as a guide, leading the ghosts of the deceased to his home and attaching them to it.
After the initial panic, Gao Lin listened to Brother Guo's explanation expressionlessly like a pool of calm water.
He led us to a living room of more than 20 square meters. A large black and white statue was placed on the table, and in front of the statue were three burning incense sticks inserted in the incense burner, and the smoke released from the burning rose straight upward.
Brother Guo and I walked over and bowed, picked up the incense on the table and lit it to worship Wang Fang's statue.
Perhaps it was our spontaneous actions that moved Gao Lin, who had just lost his wife and was in grief when he took out two bottles of mineral water from under the table and handed them to the two of us.
"Put the paper figure there, put it up gently." Brother Guo pointed to a single-seater sofa and said to me.
I went over and gently put the paper figure on it, so that its head was tilted up, and the paper on the back of its head rested against its seat. Place your two paper hands on the armrests on the left and right sides of the sofa. Place the two legs, which have been separated by scissors, under the couch.
I'll go, if you turn off the lights at night and you sleep in the bedroom and sit on the couch in the living room. That feels......
Pose the paper figurine. I asked if there was anything else I needed to do. Brother Guo said that he would recruit Wang Fang's soul first for a while, and it would not involve fighting, so let me watch honestly and not make a noise at will.
It's too simple for me, just be a spectator and let Brother Guo operate everything.
"Excuse me, are you telling the truth?" Gao Lin, who was sitting on the sofa, asked with a dull gaze.
Brother Guo thought for a while and asked, "What are you talking about, what do you mean?" Your mother took my brothers and sisters to Hades, or can I get your deceased wife......"
"All, all...... Woo woo...... "Suddenly, Gao Lin began to cry.
From watching the lively aunt, we heard that his father was gone many years ago, and his mother and daughter Gao Xiaoxin fell into the river and died four years ago, and now, Wang Fang, the only wife in the world who can rely on Gao Lin for her life, is gone, and she is still so miserable.
If it weren't for me and Brother Guo going to his house today, tonight, Gao Lin would be alone at home.
"Yes, yes. Please trust me. One, I can summon the soul of your deceased wife in a moment, and if there is anything to say, you can take this opportunity to tell her quickly. ”
"Two, that's what we're here for. My brother," Brother Guo pointed at me, "his sister was indeed taken away by your mother. To tell you the truth, my brother is also an innocent victim. ”
Gao Lin sat on the long sofa and looked dizzy, I walked over to help him, and I said, "Brother Lin, my eldest brother is a ghost catcher, and he will cast a spell to bring my sister-in-law back in a while." If you have anything, you must hurry up and say it. ”
I didn't mention my sister Liu Xin, I know that in Gao Lin's heart, his family is the person he cares about the most.
"Okay, I got it. I love Wang Fang, I love her. As long as you let me see her again, I will believe in you. There are still some relics of my mother in the house, and I will keep my promise to help you persuade my mother. ”
There's a play!
I couldn't be happier to hear him say that. The current joint lies in whether Brother Guo can successfully summon Wang Fang's ghost back for a while.
It was just after ten o'clock, and there was still some time before the early hours of the morning. The fragile Gao Lin needs the care and support of others now. From the conversation just now, he was much less wary of us.
We sat down and chatted together, and he told us a lot about the family. Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was half past one in the morning of the next day.
This time is the best time to conjure spirits, the yang energy is light, and the yin energy is the heaviest. Oni love to come out and wander around during this time.
"Are you going to start?" Gao Lin's face tensed.
Even if he conjures his dearest relatives, but when he thinks of it, he is a ghost......
"Yes, I'll be casting a spell to conjure spirits right away. Before I do that, I would like to mention a few caveats! ”
Brother Guo took out the things he needed to summon his soul one by one from his bag. While swinging on the ground, he told us what to pay attention to for a while.
First of all, when the ghost comes, the wind will rise, and the older the ghost, the more the ghost who was cruelly abused and tortured during his lifetime, and the colder and stronger the wind will be. But don't be afraid of this, it's a unique manifestation before the ghost comes.
Secondly, no matter how good a person's temper and personality are in life, if he dies and becomes a ghost, you can't treat him as a human being. The so-called nonsense, you have to think deeply about what it says, don't be deceived by its nonsense, but become its substitute ghost.
Third, don't lie to ghosts. It can fool you, but you can't fool it.
"Mr. Gao Lin, if your deceased wife comes in a while, and it asks you if you have any private money outside, you must tell the truth honestly. It's dead, and it doesn't need the money of the world anymore. If you don't answer truthfully, it will give it an excuse to pester you. It comes to you every day, and after a long time, it will suck away your yang energy little by little. ”
These three points must be kept in mind.
I nodded with Gao Lin. Brother Guo was depressed when he saw it, and I knew from the way he looked at me that he wanted to say, it will be Gao Lin talking to his daughter-in-law for a while, what are you doing.
"Mr. Gao, Qiangzi, the time is just right, I'm about to summon spirits." After that, Brother Guo picked up a bowl, filled the prepared white rice into the bowl and smoothed it with his hands, and inserted three soul-conjuring incense sticks straight on the white rice.
"Hadron, turn off the lights. Mr. Gao, give me what I asked you to prepare during the day. Brother Guo stretched out his hand to him.
"Oh, wait a minute!" Gao Lin walked to the bookcase in the living room, opened the drawer and took out a glass bottle containing medicine.
"This is Wang Fang's hair and fingernails that I collected at home."
Brother Guo took the vial and opened the cap. Inside Wang Fang's nails and hair were poured into a vial of purple liquid that he carried.
Soon, the nails and hair were melted by the purple liquid and turned into a bottle of black liquid. Brother Guo walked over to the bowl he had set and poured a bottle of black liquid onto the white rice grains. In an instant, all the white grains of rice were blackened.
He took out several yellow paper talismans with the words "Ghost Attraction Order" written on them from his arms, each with a few black rice grains glued, and placed the talismans on the floor at intervals of half a meter. Seven or eight of them stretched past and lined up to the bottom of Wang Fang's posthumous portrait.
"Mani roar, Rata ......" Brother Guo quickly muttered a spell that I didn't understand.
A minute passed, and there was no movement in the room. Two minutes passed, and it still didn't. I suddenly chuckled in my heart. Oh no, isn't Wang Fang's ghost not around here now?
If we can't summon Wang Fang's soul, Gao Lin will not believe us, and even regard us as liars with bad intentions against him. If we can't summon Wang Fang's soul, Gao Lin won't hand over the relics of the old ghost Liu Guifen to us.
What can I do?
I was anxious.
Looking up at the clock, Brother Guo stood there for three minutes, but ...... I was in a hurry to stomp my feet.
"Whew...... ......Suddenly, a cold wind blew.
"Mr. Gao, Qiangzi, don't make a sound!"
Wang Fang...... Here it comes! ”
