Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Floating Soul Lamp

Time passed to the evening, Jinpen Township closed its doors early, and even no one could be seen when it was dark. Many people have pasted the door god on the door, and all kinds of gods and Buddhas are worshiped at home, and the most unfortunate ones also have to hang a handful of mugwort leaves on the doors and windows, looking like they are facing a great enemy.

The three old people "died" at the same time, which not only caused the fear of the villagers to be infected and fermented, but some of them were timid, and they had already dragged their families out to take refuge during the day.

Even the third uncle told me to be careful recently after getting off work. Don't go out at night, I'm afraid that something dirty will come to the township. I promised on my lips, but I was smiling bitterly in my heart, I poured three at once, or is it appropriate to hide at home by myself because of my grandfather's relationship?

I asked Hu Lai, and Hu said that according to my intuition, I should hide in the store to avoid all those messy things, but the reason is that what should be faced must be faced, otherwise the more you hide, the more troublesome it will be.

There is a saying for this in the practice of the Dharma, which is called karma.

Everything that happens to you belongs to the catastrophe, which seems to be the safest to hide at first glance, but in fact, the more you hide, the more troublesome and dangerous it becomes. The best way is to face the catastrophe, take the initiative to resolve it, and escape when encountering danger, but there is no way to avoid the doomed catastrophe.

If you can hide for a while, you can't hide for a lifetime.

I don't really understand the mystery of these so-called calamities, what I want is to unravel this calamity as soon as possible and live a peaceful life.

At about eleven o'clock in the evening, Huang Mao took us to the largest intersection in the township. According to Huang Mao, crossroads lead to all directions, and it is easiest to sense the soul that has been hooked, and the soul is the easiest to succeed.

I thought the conjuring ritual was supposed to be complicated, like in a TV movie, singing and dancing, setting up tables, bathing in incense, and adding spells, burning charms, and so on.

As a result, Huang Mao simply carried three lanterns in his hand, and there was nothing else, the lanterns were not known to be made of, gray and gray, and looked dirty, a little like a Kong Ming lantern.

"Is this the lantern used for the conjuring?" I asked strangely, thinking that Huang Mao would definitely be able to lend a lot of things when he went to Xiaohonglou.

Hu Lai nodded and explained: "Actually, it is more accurate to say that the soul is conjured, because it is actually difficult to recruit the soul when it is detained; Conjuring is for frightening, not hooking. The biggest difference between the two is that the soul of the former is free. And the latter is very likely to be trapped, so the method of conjuring spirits is also different. ”

I didn't understand what I heard, and said, "Then how to find the soul?" ”

Hu Lai said: "The human body and soul are mutually sensitive, which you can understand as magnetism. Assuming that there is no obstacle between man and soul, then the body and soul will automatically approach and finally merge into one. Spiritualism is to use this inductive power, and if the soul can move freely, then call the soul back. If the soul is detained, then use the direction of the sensing force to find the soul. ”

"You mean, use this lantern to find?" I kind of get it.

"Yes, this lantern is covered with human skin, framed with human bones, and burned with human oil, as long as you burn a little hair on the top of the head of the soulless, you can replace the person and the soul to induce." Hu Laidao.

"Human skin, human oil, human bones?!" My scalp tingled when I heard it, and it was horrible that this lantern was made of human parts.

"Scared?" Yellow Fur gave me a disdainful look.

"Get out." I didn't have a good breath to see him standing still. Then he asked, "It's almost midnight, what are you still rubbing?" ”

Huang Mao looked at the dark night sky, and said a little profoundly: "Wait for the wind to stop!" ”

I felt it, and there was indeed wind, blowing slowly on people, cool.

After that, I don't know how Huang Mao was sure that the night wind would stop, but after a while, it really stopped, and I looked at the time, it was exactly twelve o'clock.

Huang Mao immediately squatted down. The human skin lanterns were lined up on the ground, took out a small bottle, poured a little black, yellow, black and yellow grease into the oil pot of the lantern, it was human oil, picked the wick and lit it. Then the three locks of hair cut out during the day are put into the human skin lantern and burned.

At this time, something strange happened, and the fever came out of it instead of black smoke, but something like a mist, which condensed but did not disperse, and slowly wrapped the lantern.

Suddenly. The flames, which were originally only the size of soybeans, became dense, exuding a milky white halo, getting brighter and brighter.

"This lantern has another name, it's called the Floating Soul Lamp!" Hu Lai explained to me in a whisper, "Human skin, human oil, human bones, and human hair are composed of a complete human body. It now takes the place of the bodies of the three, sensed by the soul, to find the soul. ”

I nodded, this technique was unbelievable, but when I heard the explanation, I felt that it made sense.

His hair gradually burned out, and Huang Mao chanted words in his mouth, and suddenly waved his hand and shouted: "Floating soul leads the way, get up!" ”

The strength of his hand rose with the wind on the ground, and suddenly the three floating soul lamps were really like Kong Ming and the others, slowly floating, suspended in a place three zhang high, and slowly drifted in one direction.

I was amazed to see that, according to common sense, the heat generated by a flame the size of a bean was not enough to lift the lantern up, but this one was okay, and it could be suspended in mid-air, and it would not float up all the time.

"Chase, three souls are detained in one place!" Huang Mao immediately took the lead in chasing down.

We hurried to keep up. Chasing the Floating Soul Lantern has been running, the direction is eastward, and the more troublesome thing is that although the Floating Soul Lantern is unhurried, it walks in a straight line, and will not stop and wait for us because of any obstacles on the ground.

We were at a crossroads, and after a short walk down the road, we jumped into the rice paddies and went up a slope through the rice fields, down to a grove and then a river. Luckily, the water level in the river is shallow, otherwise we would have had to swim through.

Across the river, there is a large rice field.

Cao Nan and I were tired and out of breath for half an hour, sweating profusely, both legs were covered with mud, and Cao Nan also lost a shoe.

The yellow hair is not bad, but there is faint sweat on the forehead; Hu Lai is the most relaxed, walking like flying in the rice field, and if you listen carefully, you will find that when he is running, he twists and twists, and he can hardly hear the sound of hitting the rice seedlings, unlike me and Cao Nan, who is like a cow rampage in the field.

By the time we reached the edge of the rice paddies, the Soul Lamp stopped in the distance, suspended quietly in mid-air, constantly spinning.

"Found it!" Huang Mao Road.

I took a closer look, and I couldn't help but feel a beat in my heart, under the floating soul lamp, there was the deserted house of the three brothers of the Tu family.

My first reaction was, could it be that the tomb robbers did it?

Huang Mao was also a little surprised, and said, "Be careful! ”

We tried our best to hook our waists, leaned over with our hands and feet, and leaned against the wall of the deserted house after going up to the paddy field.

"How could it be the home of three mad dogs?" Cao Nan asked in a low voice.

"This house is ominous." Hu Lai muttered.

My heart was beating darkly, this deserted house was a sturdy murderous house; The father of the three brothers of the Tu family tortured and killed their mother, and then he was divided into five horses, and his bones were all broken.

The case caused a sensation at the time, but there was no exact statement, it was widely spread that the father of the three brothers of the Tu family hung their mother and cut them to death with a knife, and the three brothers of the Tu family avenged their mother and used a hammer and hoe to split the bodies of their father's five horses, and their heads were broken.

Since then, the house has been abandoned, and the three Tujia brothers did not live in the main house after they came out of the labor camp, but lived in the cowshed next to it. Rumors of hauntings often spread. Now that it's settled, the people who spread it in the first few years were panicked.

"The soul should be inside, let's go inside, be careful!" Huang Mao glanced at the floating soul lamp that was constantly rotating in the sky and said.

We have a peachwood sword for self-defense. Step by step, I walked inside. The old house was a standard two-story adobe house, the roof tiles were falling everywhere, weeds had even grown into the house, and only one of the two doors remained, which was tattered and crumbling by insects and ants.

Walking into the house, the green moss crawled everywhere, leaving large green spots on the walls, mold growing on the tables, chairs and furniture, most of them rotting only a little wreckage, and the strong smell of rot came to the nose.

I tightened the peachwood sword in my hand, and for some reason, a very strange feeling welled up in my heart.
