When the head catcher said this, my great-grandfather asked anxiously, "What happened next?" ”

The catcher glanced at my great-grandfather, with a look of trepidation, and said while recalling: "Later...... Later, the brothers outside the cave came in, and a dozen or so people went up together to hold him down...... Alas, I took a dozen brothers with me, one crazy, two seriously injured, three lightly injured, those things in the cave, we were also digging up, and then I took a look at the cave, and there were still six or seven jars in the cave to move out, at this time, all of them were broken, and the cave suddenly became gloomy......"

Hearing the head catcher say this, my great-grandfather's heart tightened, and he understood why the village chief and a few people could hear the child's crying at night.

My great-grandfather hurriedly asked again, "How many jars have been broken?" ”

The catcher thought for a moment and said, "We moved out seven, and there should be six left in the cave now." ”

"All in pieces?"

"It's all broken, maybe we were broken when we were fighting with my brother."

Speaking of this, my great-grandfather couldn't drink this wine anymore, and he broke six jars, what this meant, he knew very well in his heart, and these jars were probably broken by the possessed catcher, if they were broken by others, then there would be more than one possessed, and the scene would be even more tragic at that time.

At this time, my great-grandfather suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly asked the catcher again, "There are twelve new altars and an old altar in those jars, is the old jar broken?" ”

The head catcher thought about it again and said, "Old altar...... What a break, now in the county office, and then we transported the wounded and those items back to the county office, the county lord saw that we dug something and made it like this, and he was also afraid, so he no longer sent people to dig up, he personally went to Weihui Mansion to find the Lord of Futai to report, and he has not come back until now. ”

These words behind the head catcher were directly ignored by my great-grandfather, as soon as he heard what the head catcher said before, the old altar was not broken, and he breathed a long sigh, and the new altar was sealed with the souls of some children, which can also be said to be some new ghosts, and it was much easier to deal with. In that old jar, my great-grandfather estimated that it was an old ghost, looking at the old appearance of the jar, at least fifty years onwards, if the ghosts in the old jar ran out, plus a group of little ghosts now, I am afraid that his master Wang Shoudao was resurrected, and the master and apprentice may not be able to control them.

At this time, the head catcher looked remorseful, took a sip of wine and said: "Mr. Liu, you asked us not to touch the jar before, I was still strange at the time, what is the inside of the tank, why can't you touch it?" Later, I grabbed those Taoist priests for a trial, and they said that there were ghosts inside, but I didn't believe it at the time, and said to those Taoist priests that there are no ghosts in this world at all, and I don't have to confuse the public with evil words...... Yes, yes...... Mr. Liu, my brother is a ghost, right? ”

"Yes." My great-grandfather nodded, and then asked him, "How is your brother now?" ”

The head catcher said: "After a few of us got him out of the hole, he fainted, and he is still awake, today I came to you, one is to say please reward that thing, and the other is to ask Mr. Liu to go to my brother to see, to see if it is a ghost, to exorcise the ......ghost for him."

My great-grandfather heard the head catcher say this, and sighed in his heart, judging from the fact that the head catcher first said to himself to ask for a reward, and then said that his brother was ghosted, such an upright head catcher, but he regarded his own mission as more important than the lives of his subordinates, this may be officialdom.

After that, the head catcher took advantage of the drunkenness and babbled about something else, which was nothing more than some officialdom darkness, unsatisfactory affairs, intrigue and the like, and my great-grandfather was not interested in them.

In the afternoon, my great-grandfather borrowed a carriage from the village, and the catcher sat on the carriage and pointed the way, and the two of them came to the house of the ghost-hunting fast.

He also lives on the south bank of the Yellow River, in a small village east of Sanwangzhuang. This arrester usually doesn't go home, they all live in the county office, and now they are unconscious, so they were arrested and sent home.

After arriving at the house, the mother was at home, wiping her tears by the bedside, looking very desperate, pitiful for the world's parents.

After the catcher took my great-grandfather into the door, after being introduced by the catcher, the old mother was extremely excited when she heard that it was Liu Yi, the apprentice of Wang Banxian, and she was about to kneel down to my great-grandfather. My great-grandfather hugged her in fear and comforted her.

This old mother has long heard of the names of my great-grandfather and Wang Shoudao, after all, this village is not far from Sanwangzhuang, and her son has become like this, so this old mother thought of my great-grandfather, but the catcher told her that she could find someone to save her son, and this old mother didn't think about anything else.

This ghost-caught fast, probably in his early twenties, may not have married because of his poor family background. When my great-grandfather came to his bed, he saw that his face was pale and his eyes were closed, and he first probed his breath under his nose with his hand, and then grabbed one of his hands, pressed his thumb and forefinger on the end knuckle of his middle finger, and put it on the finger of his middle finger, as if he were checking his pulse.

If it is really a ghost, the end knuckle of the middle finger will be like a pulse, jumping up and down, and then you can determine that the person belongs to the external evil invasion body, that is, it is the upper body. If it's not a ghost, the knuckles are like a normal person, without any beating. At this time, it can be determined that the person concerned has a seizure such as epilepsy, which has nothing to do with ghosts and evil spirits, and it is necessary to persuade their family members to seek medical attention immediately.

Generally, exorcists who know a little common sense will first make judgments and then draw conclusions when they encounter this situation. But if someone is talking nonsense, convulsions, running around, or insulting and beating people, etc., in the treatment of the first can not be rashly concluded, if the person is only symptomatic, you use the method of warding off evil spirits and exorcism to treat, not only can not be cured, but also delay the patient's medical treatment time, then you are not saving people, but creating evil, affecting their own reputation is small, delaying the party's medical treatment time is big.

After knuckling his middle finger, my great-grandfather let out a long breath, and then opened his eyelids and looked at each eye.

This is another examination method, if the person is ghosted, there will be a red blood in the black eye, and a black blood in the white eye, and the blood will run through the entire eyeball from left to right, one in one eye, and one in one eye. Of course, the bloodshot on the eyeball is so small that it is difficult for people without deep experience to see it.

After the examination, my great-grandfather said to the old mother and the head catcher: "What's the matter, that thing has long been gone, and this brother will wake up at most in the evening tomorrow." "Evening, that is, evening. My great-grandfather meant that the catcher would wake up by tomorrow evening at most.

"Mr. Liu, this ghost is on the body, can the ghost go away by itself?" The headcatcher asked.

My great-grandfather explained, "Yes, that's a new ghost, this brother has a lot of yang energy, that ghost can't stay in this brother for a long time, I guess when you carry him out of the hole, as soon as the sun shines, that thing can't stand it, and runs back to the cave." ”

The old mother thanked my great-grandfather so much, and she had to keep my great-grandfather and the catcher for dinner, because it was still early at this time, and my great-grandfather and the catcher had poured a stomach full of wine, where did they still have the mind to eat.

My great-grandfather told the old mother to find some wormwood leaves to soak in water, and then dip the branches and leaves in the water and sprinkle them all over her body.

Wormwood is a perennial herb distributed in Asia and Europe, which has the effect of removing dampness and cold, and removing internal evil. In ancient China, wormwood was used for acupuncture, the so-called acupuncture, in fact, divided into two parts, "needle" is to take the puncture points, and "moxibustion" is to use the ignited wormwood to burn the acupuncture points. When folk cupping, wormwood is mostly used as fuel, and it is much more effective than other fuels. At the same time, wormwood is also a kind of thing to drive away ghosts and evil spirits in the eyes of our people, and during the Dragon Boat Festival, the people mostly use wormwood to insert it on the door to ward off evil spirits and drive away ghosts.

At this time, my great-grandfather asked my mother to soak in wormwood and sprinkle it all over his body, which was also to ward off evil spirits for him, because his body was very weak at this time, and it was easy to get caught in other things.

After saying goodbye to the head catcher and the old mother, my great-grandfather drove back in a carriage without stopping, and he did not return to the village, but went directly to the barren slope southeast of Sanwangzhuang Village.

When he arrived at the barren slope, he couldn't help frowning. The previous earth hole was indeed dug up, although it still looked like a vertical hole, but the hole was several times larger than the original, and the whole thing was slope-shaped, even if you didn't need a ladder, you could go down the slope to the hole.

At the bottom of the slope, my great-grandfather saw a broken jar, which was accidentally broken by the catcher when he was carrying the jar uphill, and it is estimated that after the jar broke, the ghost inside ran out and went directly to him.

At this time, the cave was gloomy, and my great-grandfather stood at the entrance of the cave for only a short time, and felt cold in his sweaty pores, although he was still standing in the sun, which made him discourage the idea of going into the cave to check.

After returning to Sanwangzhuang, my great-grandfather did not go home, because the situation was urgent, he went directly to the village chief's house to find the village chief, and told him to immediately find someone to notify from door to door, before the second and a half watch in the evening, each family sealed the window with chicken blood strips, and then put a basin of well water at the door, and put a mirror in the water, copper mirror, glass mirror, size is not limited, as long as the mirror can be put into the basin.

Glass mirrors have been introduced into China at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and have been popular among the people during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, but at this time there are still copper mirrors in many ordinary families, and the price of glass mirrors is a little more expensive than copper mirrors at this time. Of course, there are more families without mirrors
