The method of summoning the soul of Zhao Laosan is the same as the method of summoning the soul of Zhao Laosan, Granny Zhao shouted a few times in the center of the crossroads with her clothes, and then my great-grandfather walked in front with a soul-attracting lamp, and Granny Zhao walked behind with her clothes, shouting all the way, and when she arrived at the door, Granny Zhao shouted, San'er is back? The daughter inside hurriedly responded and came back, and then put the soul-attracting lamp on the head of the bed, and the clothes covered Zhao Laosan's body.

Every step is exactly the same as when summoning the soul of Boss Zhao, there is no deviation and no mistakes.

However, when Zhao Laosan woke up the next day, he still looked stupid, that is to say, the soul was not recruited and failed.

Looking at Zhao Laosan, who was still stupid, my great-grandfather frowned, at this time he couldn't figure out what was wrong, it was unprecedented for him.

The mother and daughter of the Zhao family panicked, Granny Zhao sat directly on the ground and cried, the two daughters persuaded while accompanying Granny Zhao to sob, and Zhao Laosan looked at Hehe and smirked, and the family was in a mess.

Just when I was at a loss, my great-grandfather suddenly thought of a possibility, in the past, Wang Shoudao said that some lost souls are conscious, and the soul will find a place to hide if they are afraid.

If you want to talk about the places where these souls hide, you can say that there are all kinds of strange things, under big stones, in jars, in wells, or in tree hollows, and even in umbrellas, in the buttons of clothes, and in the jewelry they wear.

I heard my grandmother say that there are people hiding in the cigarette pouch rod, after the soul hides in, the tobacco in the cigarette pouch pot will not smoke after it is lit, and the smoker will not be able to smoke no matter how hard he is, so the soul will be blocked.

In this case, you must first find the soul, and then summon the soul.

How can I find this soul? I don't know about others, according to our family's methods, it will be to burn "ask the gods", just like when there was a murder in Cai's mansion, when my great-grandfather was looking for Zhang Jiang's ghost.

No further ado. After the third watch in the evening, my great-grandfather asked Granny Zhao to prepare an incense burner and incense, and no one followed.

Starting from the door of Zhao Laosan's house, he inserted a stick of incense straight into the incense burner, and then lit it, and recited the divine words in his mouth, that is, mantras, or formulas.

This question is similar to what I read when I was looking for Zhang Jiang's ghost before, "The sky is round, the nine chapters of the law, the disciple offers incense, ask where the ghost is, today Zhao Xiaoshan has lost his soul, where to find it, and please ask the gods to make it clear, I serve the people of Zhongnan Mountain, and I am as anxious as the law, edict!" (In order to prevent anyone from having anything to do with our ghost-hunting skills and Taoism, I replaced the words "I Feng Taishang Laojun" with "I Feng Zhongnanshan people", and I need something else to use this method of "asking the gods", that is, I have written the "ask the gods" all and wrote them accurately, and others took them to do it, but it still didn't work.) )

It was still those procedures, and when I saw the intersection, I ordered five or six sticks repeatedly, and my great-grandfather followed the direction of the incense ash overturning and came to the entrance of the robbery cave of the general's tomb, that is, the grass slope.

Asking Shenxiang to point to the general's tomb was basically what my great-grandfather expected.

At this time, my great-grandfather lit another incense stick at the entrance of the thief's cave, and after reciting the prayer, the incense head flickered and dimmed, and burned little by little. With the passage of time, the incense burns a piece of incense ash, at this time, the incense ash slowly tilts towards the thief hole, a little bit, and when the tilt reaches a certain level, the "bang" falls from the incense head, at the same time, the whole incense "click" from the middle of the break, and the incense ash, straight to the mouth of the thief hole, my great-grandfather hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to thank God.

In this way, it is already certain that Zhao Laosan's lost soul is hiding in this general's tomb.

However, my great-grandfather frowned at the dark cave at this time, he never dreamed that he was a ghost catcher, and he wanted to dig into the grave to find the soul of others, and he knew that he was going to help people find the soul, but he didn't know, and thought that he was going to steal the grave and dig the grave.

My great-grandfather hesitated for a long time at the entrance of the thief cave, took out the cigarette pouch left by Wang Shoudao and smoked a few puffs, and finally gritted his teeth, tucked the cigarette pouch back into his waist, pinched his nose and went down the thief hole into the tomb.

As mentioned earlier, my great-grandfather had vaguely guessed that Zhao Laosan's soul was hiding in the ancient tomb before using the "Ask Shenxiang", and before going out, my great-grandfather prepared a torch in advance just in case, and at this time, the torch really came in handy.

After climbing down the cave into the tomb, my great-grandfather lit the torch and held it up to the tomb. This burial chamber is not big, it is only half the size of a room, four walls, vaulted domes, the whole burial chamber is built with a stone barrier, on both sides of the back of the burial chamber, there are two smaller ear chambers, in the middle of the two ear chambers, there is a square passage that is more than one person high and one person is more wide, like a coffin burial with a tomb road.

The tomb was facing a large coffin in the center of the burial chamber, which looked like it was wooden, probably decaying because of age, and the whole thing was earthy gray, as if it was about to be petrified, and the coffin lid had been pried open, and it was miserably shattered beside it.

My great-grandfather walked to the coffin and looked inside with a torch, there was a tall dry corpse lying inside, the clothes on the body were basically rotten, and the age could not be seen, but this dried corpse had obvious traces of being turned over, especially the mouth, which was opened very large, my great-grandfather estimated that the "Soul Warming Jade" had been in the mouth of this dry corpse before, and when Zhao Laosan took out the "Soul Warming Jade", he opened his mouth stiffly.

Looking at the tragic situation of the dried corpse being tossed upside down, my great-grandfather couldn't help but sigh.

Of course, my great-grandfather didn't come here to sigh when he was in the tomb. Then he walked around the chamber with a torch and found that the chamber had been stolen except for the rotting coffin and the dried corpse, and not a single broken tile had been left. In other words, Zhao Laosan's soul is not in this main tomb, because there are no items in the main tomb for him to hide.

Then my great-grandfather went into one of the chambers and shone it with a torch, which was empty except for a stone horse about the size of a real horse, and was probably looted.

Then my great-grandfather took a closer look at the stone horse with a torch and shook his head, he didn't think that Zhao Laosan's soul would be attached to this stone horse, because the appearance of this stone horse looked very vicious, as if he was sprinting on the battlefield to kill the enemy. The soul is very timid, and such a fierce and hideous object will never be attached to it.

My great-grandfather left this chamber and went to another, and as soon as he reached the door of the chamber, he smelled a pungent stench, and the stench was extremely unpleasant, like the smell of a decomposing corpse, which was disgusting.

This kind of smell was smelled by my great-grandfather when he was outside, and after he got into the ancient tomb, the smell became stronger, and he thought it was a unique smell in the ancient tomb, so he didn't pay much attention to it. At this time, it was discovered that the source of the stench was in this ear chamber.

My great-grandfather walked into the ear chamber with his breath closed, and as soon as he entered, before he could see what was inside, he suddenly tripped over something under his feet, and my great-grandfather panicked, and hurriedly used a torch to shine, and a corpse that was mostly decomposed was lying at the feet of my great-grandfather, and my great-grandfather just kicked him in a rotten thigh that exposed his bones, and he was so disgusting that he almost didn't vomit.

Then, my great-grandfather took a picture of the entire ear chamber with nausea, and there were three corpses in it, lying on the ground indiscriminately, and the entire ear chamber floor was covered with dried and blackened blood. In the innermost part of the three corpses, there was a dilapidated weapon shelf, and there were no weapons on the shelf, and it was estimated that those weapons had long since rotted into rotten soil.

Of the three corpses, two of them were seriously decomposed, and the other had just been decomposed, as if it had just died.

Looking at these three corpses, my great-grandfather immediately thought of the cause of death of these three corpses, those two bodies were more seriously decomposed, and they should have been hacked to death by Zhao Laosan, and they died more than a month or nearly two months ago. This corpse that had just been released should have been hacked to death by Boss Zhao, probably half a month ago. Of course, this date of death is not accurate, after all, my great-grandfather was not a puppet and did not know how to identify corpses. 仵作, that is, ancient forensic medicine.

My great-grandfather found that in the whole burial chamber, only this little chamber had blood stains, and there were no other places. What does this mean, it shows that the three people were forced into this ear chamber and were hacked to death with sharp weapons, and the methods were quite cruel.

Of course, what I said above is my great-grandfather's unilateral speculation, and no one can verify what the facts look like now. However, the three who died, to be sure, were all tomb robbers who came here to rob the tomb, and they were innocent. To use a popular saying nowadays, if you don't die, you won't die, and it's all done.

According to the laws of the Qing Dynasty at that time, those who steal graves and dig graves will be killed. My great-grandfather felt that these three had nothing to sympathize with, and that they deserved it.

At this time, my great-grandfather thought in his heart, this ear chamber is so murderous, and there is no object in it that can be attached to the soul, and Zhao Xiaoshan's soul cannot be in this ear chamber.

After coming out of the ear chamber, my great-grandfather walked to the entrance of the robbery cave and took a few breaths of fresh air, turned his head to look into the tomb, a little unwilling, and then took a torch around the whole tomb, but still could not find a place for the soul to attach, the entire tomb of the general, was ransacked, except for a rotten coffin, a dried corpse, a stone horse and a broken weapon shelf, and the bodies of the three tomb robbers, there was nothing else.

These things are either bad luck or evil spirits, and the out-of-body souls belong to pure spirits, and it is impossible to attach themselves to these filthy things.

At this time, my great-grandfather was a little puzzled, but he didn't dare to stay in the ancient tomb for a long time, firstly, this place was too bad, and it would affect his yang qi if he stayed for a long time
