Chapter 63: Types of Ghost Feeders
"Raising a little ghost?" Brother Cao first dropped the bowl in his hand, and then directly explained the principle of Gu Man Tong. Mr. Li didn't speak, nodded silently, I also felt very puzzled, after all, I through the talisman, Brother Cao through Feng Shui, has directly adjusted the magnetic field of Mrs. Li's body, as long as she can persevere, I believe that in a few years, the relationship between husband and wife can be improved, but she has to find another way to raise a little ghost, which is difficult for me to understand.
"Did you beat Sister Ma because she told the truth?" I looked at Mr. Li and asked. Mr. Li still didn't speak, and nodded silently again, "Then you have lived with Sister Gao for so long, haven't you noticed her abnormal behavior recently?" I pressed on, "Yes, but I don't care. Mr. Li was finally willing to speak, "What are some of the unusual things lately?" I pressed on.
When eating, she would put a lot of dishes and chopsticks, and she always explained that she was afraid of guests coming to the house; I also bought a lot of children's toys at home, and after dismantling them, I put them in the corner; Sometimes she would talk to herself; And she started to be a vegetarian, I thought she was a Buddhist. "Mr. Li said a lot of unusual things one after another." That's right, it's Kuman Thong. "Through Mr. Li's answer, I was sure that Mrs. Li did raise Kuman Thong.
Speaking of Kuman Thong, I need to popularize science here. Originally, raising little ghosts was called Liusheng Secret Refining Tong by Taoism, and the original purpose was to let those children who died before they could complete their merits and ascend to heaven or reincarnation as soon as possible, and adopted a way of practicing good deeds and accumulating virtues. Later, many people who knew a little about this spell crossed the ocean, went to Southeast Asia and other places, and combined with the local local culture, and finally formed what we now call Kuman Thong or Kuman Li.
In Taoism, the most famous one for raising little ghosts is the Maoshan faction. In order to achieve personal goals, the heavenly master of the Maoshan School has experimented several times to raise little ghosts from the initial good deeds and accumulate virtues, and become a personal auxiliary tool, there are many methods, here I will briefly list a few: the first is the Liusheng secret refining method, which does not violate the harmony of heaven and belongs to the type of doing good deeds and accumulating virtues. The specific operation method is as follows: it is necessary to find the cemetery of two deceased children, a man and a woman, write a memorial in front of the grave, and burn it. Those who have mana recite mantras without having to take the bones, those who cannot recite the incantation, and then take the bones and put them in the silk belt, and write the birth date of the deceased on the silk belt, insert willow branches and peach branches on the grave respectively, generally insert willow branches on the grave of boys, and peach branches on the grave of girls, willow branches should be three feet six inches in the northwest, and two feet four inches in the southeast of the peach branches, whether peach branches or willow branches, both ends need to be tied with red cloth strips, and then open the altar for seven days, collect peach branches and willow branches on the altar, and stay until the day of fate, Sending the soul that has been attached to the peach branch and willow branch to reincarnation is an act of immeasurable merit and a good deed.
The second type belongs to the fairy child secret reporting method, which if both parties abide by the contract, it still does not violate the harmony of heaven, but it is not regarded as doing good deeds and accumulating virtues, and belongs to the type of mutual assistance and mutual benefit. The specific operation method is: the same needs a cemetery for two children, it doesn't matter if you don't pass the first seven days, write a sacrifice in front of the grave and burn it. However, it is necessary to pick up the bones and put them in the silk belt, and write the birth dates of the two children, and insert willow branches and peach branches in the southeast position on the grave. After opening the altar, reciting the immortal mantra seven times, and burning a talisman, lasting seven hundred and forty-nine days, the willow branch and the peach branch are collected under the altar, and the willow branch and the peach branch are struck forty-nine times with the talisman staff, and the sound of the child sobbing is heard in the ear, and it is stopped. Then burn the ear charm, recite the ear mantra seven times, and can clearly hear the sound of the child sobbing, then it is successful; If the sound is not clear, burn the ear charm and recite the ear mantra seven times, until the voice is like a baby, but do not know what the other party is saying, burn the note and recite the mantra seven times, and then the child can really know when he speaks in his ear. At this point, the two children privately established a covenant on yellow paper, and the things of the covenant were written in cinnabar, and they were buried under the Liujia altar according to the handprints, until the children were reincarnated, the world's major events, the past and the future, the rise and fall of fortunes and misfortunes, and the children told each other everything, and followed each other step by step, never abandoned. This behavior is considered to be mutually beneficial, and it is especially helpful for those children who cannot be reincarnated for a long time and are prone to becoming lonely ghosts, but it does not belong to the accumulation of virtue.
There are many kinds of names in the third, the good one is called stealing the dragon and turning the phoenix, and the ugly one is called Li Dai Taozhuang, no matter which name it is, it is a forbidden spell, I only briefly introduce it, not to say the law, so as to avoid people with ill intentions learning to harm others and themselves. First of all, the date of a pregnant woman's birth is calculated, and then a kohlrabi plant is planted in a certain place, and the required talismans are incinerated in water every day, and then the water is used to water the vegetables, and on the day of the pregnant woman's birth, when the child lands, the kohlrabi is harvested with a magic instrument, and the child will die. After death, the child's soul can be used for two purposes: one is to make a fairy child's secret report, and there is no covenant oath, and obedience is enough, and disobedience can make the child's soul be tortured, and even the soul is scattered; Second, the child's soul can be possessed by the enemy, sucking its essence, rotting its longevity, less than a few days, no more than six months, the enemy will die, and the child's soul will never be able to be reborn. This method is too vicious, but because it has a quick effect and the method is easy to master, there have always been some ill-intentioned young people who have come to learn this method one after another. The retribution of those who cast such spells is extremely tragic, such as the loss of children and grandchildren, or the misfortune of future generations, or the pitiful old age of the caster, etc. Therefore, this spell is against the peace of heaven and harms oneself and one's descendants, so do not use it.
The fourth is the evil ghost entourage, which can no longer be calculated, strictly speaking, it is already a kind of evil art, which is more harmful to others and oneself than taboos. I will still only make a brief introduction, not the Famen, just a simple understanding of the officials. There are two ways to retrieve the soul, one is the masked paper of a dying child, and the other is the bones of a baby in the first seven graveyards, the boy is third on the left and the girl is fourth on the right. Whether it is masked paper or bones, they are all used to refine 7749 days, according to different needs, as well as children's five elements and eight characters, gilded, poured silver, inlaid with copper, cast iron, and hung lead. Then you need to carry it with you, and according to the different ways of refining, it can be used for various purposes such as early warning, alarm, avoiding misfortune, unpredictable prophets, changing the appearance of ghosts, tracking and supervising, fame and fortune, and smooth sailing. This method should be regarded as the origin of the head-lowering technique, and the head-lowering technique and the Gu technique in Yunnan are called the two major evil arts in Asia, and the events about these two evil arts will be mentioned in future articles.
