Chapter 102: Opening the Eyes
It's too late, I haven't worshiped God yet, upload it first, and wait until I'm done worshipping God to revise!
As soon as my grandfather's words fell, there were noisy voices and footsteps outside. The three of them hurriedly came to the door to take a look, it turned out that Ru Qingshan had brought a group of people over again, there were enough to have more than 20 people, from the age point of view, all of them were ten-year-old young people who were not afraid of tigers.
While they didn't come, my grandfather whispered a few words to Xin Yangzi. The three of them went from the room to the courtyard and bumped their heads with Ru Qingshan. Xin Yangzi pulled Ru Qingshan aside again and explained. After hearing this, Ru Qingshan didn't say a word, and immediately divided the people he brought into two groups, one to carry Chen Bald's body, and the other to the house to carry the villagers.
Those villagers belonged to Chen Hui, who was possessed by Wang Bajing, who was knocked unconscious by force, and had little to do with ghosts and gods.
A group of people were busy for a while, and the whole house was cleaned up. After Ru Qingshan left with the people, my grandfather and the three of them turned around the house again. My grandfather said that the location of the courtyard door and the door of this house is not good, and the women in the family are easy to get out of their minds, and they suffer from many ghosts, and their granddaughter Liu Guihua can have an affair with other men, which has a lot to do with the feng shui of this house.
My grandfather has learned a lot, in the eyes of my grandmother, there is nothing he can't know, there is nothing he doesn't understand, from childhood to adulthood, until the day my grandfather died, my grandfather was still a mystery to her.
The three of them turned around to make sure that nothing was missing, and the three of them left the house and returned all the way home.
At this time, it was almost three o'clock in the afternoon, and the three of them had not eaten lunch, and my grandmother had cooked for them at noon, but none of them came back to eat, and now the meal was already cold.
After eating, Xin Yangzi made a list of the objects used to open the Dharma Eye and handed it to my grandmother.
At this time, my grandfather had already gone to the old locust tree to boil water for training, and the items on the list were all up to my grandmother to search for them in and out of the village.
Because these objects are old, and the magic method for opening the magic eye is not ours, my grandmother basically can't remember what she prepared at that time. My grandmother said that there seemed to be more than a dozen, in addition to cinnabar brushes, incense candles, paper money, rooster blood, hen blood, etc., she remembered that there were also green cloth, bronze mirrors, cicadas (knowing the shell), live fish...... Wait, I'm sorry, I forgot, after all, this magic is not our family, I just want to complete them now, and I don't know what to make up for it, rather than adding things to fool people inside, it's better not to make it up.
By the time my grandmother had prepared all the things, it was already dark.
Do you know what the hardest thing to find is? It was actually the live fish, when it was in Sanwangzhuang, the least scarce thing was the fish, now it is good, it is difficult to find a fish, or my grandfather asked Wang Shicheng, the son of Wang Caoyu, to drive the donkey cart back and forth for more than ten miles to find it. This made my grandfather and Wang Caoyu sit together, looking at each other, and sighed for a while, two people have fished on the Yellow River for a lifetime, and it's good to be there, and you have to drive a donkey cart to run more than ten miles to find a fish......
Going back to the head and talking about Xinyangzi, he asked my grandmother to run around looking for those objects, he himself did something in this afternoon, in fact, he didn't do anything, drove my grandfather's carriage back to Huanghuadong, bathed and changed clothes, changed into a new robe, and drew an "eye-opening charm", when it was dark, he drove the carriage and came back with a pair of children and men. Xin Yangzi said that the pair of children and men were also used to open the eyes of their grandmothers.
At this time, my grandfather also played the old locust tree and went home after training. My grandmother asked him if he saw Chen Hui during training, and my grandfather said he did. My grandmother asked him if there was anything different. My grandfather shook his head, no, exactly the same as usual. This puzzled my grandmother.
In the evening, my grandfather's whole family, as well as Xinyangzi, and the two teenage boys and girls he brought with him, had dinner together.
After dinner, my grandmother took the two children to play in the back room, and my grandmother watched the two children like it very much.
My grandfather and a few of them were busy working in the courtyard, and the whole courtyard was brightly lit. Fortunately, there are no neighbors near my grandfather's house except for Wang Caoyu's house, otherwise there must be a lot of excitement, so Wang Caoyu's whole family will help to see the excitement.
A group of people set up incense tables and altars, and those who should be blistered with water, and those who should be burned with fire were burned with fire, and after a busy work, all were ready to stop, and at this time, the day was almost over.
At that time, although the war was in chaos, it was also an era of alternation of the old and the new, because of the influx of Western goods in large quantities, the village was not prosperous, and the rich households with conditions made a table clock to put at home, of course, a hundred households, not one, especially this closed small mountain village, that is, there was no watch, and there was no clock, and the whole village relied on listening to the rooster crow, watching the sun, and figuring out the time by themselves.
My grandfather and my grandfather, each of them has a pocket watch, which is not bad, take out the pocket watch to see that the hour is almost up, and my grandfather asked Xin Yangzi to start doing it.
Xinyangzi asked my grandmother to sit on a chair in front of the incense table, blindfolded my grandmother with a strip of green cloth, and asked my grandfather to go back to the house and lead out the two children, that is, the pair of virgins and boys, with the man and the woman standing beside my grandmother on the left and the woman on the right.
The two children may have explained to them before they came, they were very obedient, and they didn't move anymore after standing next to my grandmother, and they were well-behaved, just like the two fairies around the Bodhisattva.
This is where the work begins. My grandfather and Wang Caoyu each had a chair, and the others stood in the courtyard, not daring to breathe, staring at them with wide eyes.
Xin Yangzi first walked to the incense table with incense burner offerings and wine and food, raised his hand to pick up three incense sticks, lit them at the candle, and inserted them into the incense burner.
Behind the incense burner, there is a Taoist Sanqing tablet, Xin Yangzi pinched the Taoist recipe with both hands, closed his eyes slightly, and under the green smoke, he silently recited it to the tablet.
When he had finished reading, he opened his eyes and raised his hand, picked up the whisk on the table, plucked two long manes from the dust, burned the candle to ashes, and threw it into the basin under the table with the live fish, and at this time, the live fish in the basin were still swimming in the water, and then he caught the live rooster, pricked the blood on the cockscomb with a needle, and dripped a few drops into the basin, and the rooster was handed over to the boy beside my grandmother to hold it. Then he grabbed the hen, pricked the blood under the wings of the hen, dripped it into the basin, and the hen was handed over to the virgin to hold on. Of course, both chickens are tied up in advance, otherwise they wouldn't be so honest.
Two pieces of yellow paper, clamping the "eye-opening charm", lit the candle again, while burning, Xin Yangzi pinched a corner, around the top of my grandmother's head, and silently recited the prayer in her mouth, around seven times, the yellow paper was burned, and the prayer was finished.
As soon as you turn around, pinch a trick, first bow to the Sanqing tablet, and then kneel down, spread your hands, palms up, flat on the ground, respectfully bow three times and knock nine times.
After getting up, pinch the Tao again, close your eyes, meditate on the tablet for a while, exhale slowly out of your mouth, and spit out a few times.
After opening his eyes, pick up the brush on the table with his right hand, pick up the copper mirror on the table with his left hand, put the copper mirror behind the candle, reflect the candlelight, shake the copper mirror, quickly shine three times on the brush, then put down the copper mirror, dip the brush in the basin under the table, lift the brush, hang it on the basin, wait for the water droplets on the tip of the pen to be clean and dry, get up and dip the tip of the pen in cinnabar, hold the pen with both hands, the tip of the pen is facing up, around the incense burner on the table, turn three times counterclockwise, and then recite the prayer silently.
After reading the prayer, take a deep breath, gently exhale on the tip of the pen, and say a word, and the three clearings come.
Turning around and coming to my grandmother, through the green cloth on my grandmother's eyes, I picked up the pen and pointed to my left eye, and read in my mouth: "Open your left eye to see the sun and the moon", and then point to your right eye, and read in my mouth: "Open your right eye to see yin and yang." ”
Then, the boy holding the rooster took a breath in my grandmother's left eye and said, "I am a golden boy who has descended to earth, and your left eye is open." The girl exhaled in my grandmother's right eye and said, "I am a jade girl who has come to the world, and I call your right eye clear." ”
After doing this, Xin Yangzi turned around, dipped it in the basin again, and after getting up, the brush turned clockwise around the incense burner three times again, dipped in cinnabar, turned around, put the tip of the pen on the center of my grandmother's eyebrows an inch away, and read in his mouth: "The heavens are clear, give me the gods, open your eyes, distinguish the clear, urgent as the law!" When I finished reading, the tip of the pen touched my grandmother's eyebrows.
According to my grandmother, she felt that her two eyebrows seemed to be on fire at that moment, and there was a burning sensation in an instant, and her eyes seemed to be smoky, not painful, but that astringent and spicy feeling, and she wanted to cry. However, this is all a matter of an instant, and it is not so painful to open the Dharma Eyes.
This sentence is finished, and then look at Xin Yangzi, he is already sweating profusely, and after a long breath, he took a few breaths on the table with his upper hand, and looked very tired.
After a pause, as soon as Xinyangzi turned around, he was about to remove the green cloth on my grandmother's eyes, and my grandfather hurriedly said, "Don't reveal it now, wait until you get to the place." "And explain to my grandmother, "Zhi'er, you just close your eyes and don't open them, when Dad tells you to open them, you open them again." ”
Everyone was puzzled, and my grandfather didn't say much, and motioned to my grandfather, "Lie down in the room for a while, and when the hour comes, I'll call you again." ”
My grandfather lifted my grandmother out of the chair and into the bedroom. Wang Caoyu's family said goodbye to my grandfather and Xinyangzi, and went back to their own house, and the two children were led into the house to sleep by my grandmother.
However, Wang Caoyu was stopped by my grandfather, and with my grandfather and Xinyangzi, I brought a few vegetarian dishes on the table into the house, and my grandfather took out a jar of old wine, and the three of them drank it.
The book is short, and when the second watch was almost over, my grandfather shouted at the door of my grandmother and my grandfather's bedroom, and at this time, Wang Caoyu had already gone home to sleep.
After a pause, my grandfather helped my grandmother out of the back room. My grandfather asked my grandfather, "Dad, when will this cloth on Zhi'er's eyes be next?" ”
My grandfather glanced at him, "Go and put the carriage on." ”
My grandfather was very helpless, whispered a few words to my grandmother, couldn't see the eyes, don't move, be careful to bump, and then went to the carriage with crutches.
It didn't take much effort, the carriage was set, my grandfather supported my grandmother, my grandfather supported Xinyangzi, and the four of them drove the carriage towards Chen Baldzi's house.
On the way, my grandmother also asked my grandfather why he didn't let the green cloth be removed. My grandfather still didn't answer.
However, after arriving at Chen Bald's house, my grandmother understood why my grandfather didn't let her open her eyes and uncover the green cloth
