I thought back to the pot of burnt stuff I had just seen, and combed through the information contained in it.

After that, I told Momiji, "That brazier should be a 'bon'." The so-called Yin Collision Banquet is actually a human being, and he bumped into the evil ghost who was holding the 'Bon Gong'. ”

Momiji twisted his eyebrows and said suspiciously: "Is it a bon?" But isn't that the magic weapon of the Buddhists when they transcend the dead and accumulate merits? What's at stake? Every year on July 15, the temple also holds a Bon (harmony) meeting. ”

I nodded slightly, and at the same time corrected her: "This Bon sounds like a 'magic weapon', but it is actually a 'food bowl', but the rice in this pot is not for people to eat, but for hungry ghosts." ”

"Huh?!" Momiji was stunned at the time, and she palpitated: "You mean, that thing is a ghost's food bowl?" Isn't that Brother Roar...... Smash the ghost's job?! ”

I smiled and told him that it was not that simple, it was not even easy to find a figure on this highway, how could such a magic weapon suddenly come out? And isn't the person who puts the magic weapon afraid of being hit by a car and killed? What can you do if you bring in "ghosts"? Maintain traffic?

As Xian Hongye said, this Bon was actually originally a Buddhist magic weapon, and it is a Buddhist monk blessing magic weapon, it is said to be able to surpass the hungry ghosts, provide for the ancestors, increase mana, accumulate virtue and do good, in short, in the mouths of those religious people, it is a bullish coaxing, golden existence.

However, if we remove all these dazzling halos, we will be very stunned to find that this bon is actually just a food bowl for hungry ghosts.

I don't know if there are hungry ghosts in this world, but this thing is not good, it is certain, the most uneven, and it is also a yin and unlucky existence.

According to folk superstition, if people who don't have any "Taoism" use it and put food in it indiscriminately, not only will they not become ghosts, but they will also attract things that are not clean and unclean, which will harm themselves.

Such a sinister "magic weapon", I can't say it well, it is a double-edged sword-like existence! If you play well, the whole family will be exceeded, and if you don't play well, the whole family will suffer.

Because the Bon is too dangerous, the people only hold the "Bon Festival" in July every year, relying on the blessing of the temple monks to lead the collective strength of the monks to come, surpass the dead, pray for blessings and increase merit.

One of the reasons why everyone does this is that they think that the process of overtaking the Obon is very dangerous and even vicious, and it is not possible to do it without great virtue and power, and there are many monks, and the average risk will become smaller.

When I said this, I changed the conversation and told everyone that because the "side effect" of Obon's "ghost summoning" was too great, some folk "masters" carried out "reverse thinking".

They "creatively" turned a magic weapon that surpassed the undead into a tool to "find a substitute for the dead ghost" for the undead. It is used to harm people's lives on roads, rivers, and even homesteads in order to make profits.

In short, they turned the Bon into a veritable, smoky miasma of "Ghost Trapping" and "Substitute Death Basin".

And what Wang Roar met just now was such a ghost-summoning food bowl.

When he said this, Momiji looked very hurried and uncomfortable, with a chill on his face.

To be honest, I'm not saying this to scare anyone or cause trouble to anyone, I must be in the car, and it won't do me any good to say these unlucky things.

That's just the way it is. Believe it or not, at least in my judgment, we are likely to be on the way.

At this time, Momiji asked me again, "Why do you want to burn the rice and butter in the bowl?" ”

I didn't answer her immediately, but asked Momiji: "I'm curious, you didn't see it, how did you know that the pot was burning pine nuts?" ”

Momiji replied to me: "It's not difficult, when Brother Roar came back, he had the unique smell of pine nut shells, and it was mixed with the fragrance of butter...... In short, don't underestimate women. ”

"Your sense of smell ...... That's amazing. I applauded her and explained why:

Pine nuts are the homonym of "sending children", burning pine nuts in a basin, which means "sending away sons".

As for the butter that is stirred with pine nuts...... It is a necessary thing for any "Yin Banquet", "Ghost Food" or "Coffin Feast".

"Why does it have to be butter for the feast?" Momiji is puzzled.

I shook my head and told her, "It's not just butter, it's any meat from the cow." Because people in the past believed that cows were psychic creatures and that eating their meat was unlucky. ”

I further explained that the reason why the ancients thought this way was that they believed that among the six animals, the ox contributed the most energy, and they worked in the ground every day and breathed the earth's qi for a long time, so it should be the animal with the heaviest yin qi.

For the unique yin qi of this cow, there are many records and applications in history, and some Taoist schools even use cow tears to open the "yin eye" and see the magic of ghosts. What I borrowed is the unique yin qi of the cow.

Maybe because of this, in the underworld, there is even a seat for them. Finally, with the passage of time, the bull god in the underworld gradually transformed into the image of a ghost with a bull head and a horse face.

In short, cattle is a very yin "ingredient", and in the past, ordinary people rarely ate this thing.

If we put this information together, we can guess the meaning of the method of burning the yin-heavy beef products and pine nuts (sending seeds) together.

In my head, this chain of questions adds up to a single explanation...... The woman who kept staring at us where we had an accident.

Momiji's guess was right, the woman she was keenly aware of should have moved in the brazier, but it didn't attract enough attention from me.

"Oh! I understand. Hongye suddenly realized: "The principle of this Yin Feast is very similar to the Taoist priest's 'Disgusting Method', that is, to use specific ingredients to lure specific dead ghosts over, but this process is artificially interrupted in the middle of the Yin Banquet. In this way, the ghost will haunt the person who interrupted the process. It's also called a substitute for the dead. ”

To be honest, I appreciate her reasoning skills.

It stands to reason that at this point, everyone's opinion is also very clear, although Momiji and I have directly provoked the reason for King Ming's roar "evil spirit", but I suggest that everyone change the means of transportation for the sake of insurance, because it is very likely that some of us will be "killed by the ghost".

Later, I simply said directly: "In this case, I don't think you can expect this broken car, go out and find a rental to go to my squad leader's house, although it is not very convenient, but it is much more insured." ”

Moreover, Wang Roar's car is really broken, and I have long wanted to change to a "mount".

Otherwise, before I arrived in Lunan, I guess I would have to be shocked to death by this broken car, and what else would I talk about to solve the white food Gu.

But at this time, we only got out, and there was a person who didn't believe in evil, and Ah Si, who had not spoken for a long time, raised a series of questions about me.

To be honest, I admire this dwarf kid.

Because next, he, a dwarf in the new era, actually didn't react to my question for a while, let alone refute it.

Ah Si questioned me and said, there are no ghosts in this world! Even if there is, it is in people's hearts. And I only saw one basin, how could I have deduced so many. He used to see paper-burning people on the roadside when he was asking for food, and he often ate the offerings after burning the paper, but nothing happened......

In the end, Ah Si summarized my "advice" to me, asking me to study more law and business, and not to always engage in these gods and ghosts, which is not conducive to integrating into this era.

His words left me completely speechless at the time. For a long time, I was not even embarrassed to refute anything. It must be that these words are full of "positive energy!" "Even if it's not touching, I admire his fearless courage for the ignorant.

But just when I was a little speechless, Momiji suddenly relieved me and said:

"Ah Si! Maybe there are really no ghosts in this world, but even normal people will go crazy when they encounter this kind of brazier of the 'Yin Feast', because in this kind of 'food' prepared for ghosts, there may be other things......"

Ah Si and I were curious at the same time: "What? ”

Momiji didn't answer me directly, but asked us instead, "What if we can't attract ghosts?" Or what if the ghost's 'mana' is not enough? Or, what if someone who gives someone someone an idea to find a replacement for the dead ghost doesn't understand the doorway at all, and just wants to make black money? ”

We shook our heads, naturally not knowing.

At this time, Momiji asked himself and replied: "So, these two things alone are not enough, those 'folk masters' also added another thing to it, with that kind of thing, you have to die even if you don't die, and you have to hit the evil if you don't hit the evil." ”

"What the hell?"

When he said this, Momiji's face fluctuated, and then he squeezed out three words from between his teeth: "It is likely to be a (harmony) hallucinogenic agent!" ”

"Hallucinogens? Isn't it ...... a person who absorbs the smoke of hallucinogens?"

Momiji nodded, and glanced at the humming Wang Roar from the rearview mirror again.

Everything is revealed.

I concluded with great regret: "In other words, these 'warlocks' who use Obon to find ghosts are not so much able to summon spirits as they can use medicine." Anyway, if people die, they can't be found. I have also heard that in the countryside, some 'underground religions' pretend to be gods and ghosts, and often use hallucinogens and drugs to kill people and instigate crimes. ”

I was silent at the same time as Momiji. Faintly, I seem to see a sad mother, after her son died on the highway, her mother's love was quickly exploited by a charlatan who only knew how to cheat money, and that person said that the ghost on the highway could not be reincarnated, and could only transcend and ascend to heaven after finding a substitute.

And this warlock will always say that he happens to know such a "Yin Banquet" recipe to find a substitute for the dead ghost.

The mother, who was anxious to detach her son, spared no expense and spent a lot of money to buy a way to detach her son. But in fact, she didn't know that all this was fake, and it was not his son who really made Wang roar, but the hallucinatory mixed between the pine nuts.

Money...... Just buy a peace of mind.

While I was thinking about it, Momiji suddenly asked me, "Lao Tian, why do you know about all this mess?" I remember that you were not a monk or Taoist, but ...... A cook, right? ”

I was slightly stunned, and did not directly tell her my relationship with these "yin food", but indirectly replied to Momiji: "This butter pine nut is also a dish!" Merely...... It's for the dead. ”

In the midst of the soft words between me and Momiji, our car finally drove into the high-speed service station.

When we arrived at the service station, we got out of the van like a plague, and everyone was full of discomfort with the car, let alone sitting on it.

As soon as I got out of the broken van, I suddenly felt a sense of relief. The stagnation in his chest before had dissipated too much.

I turned around and patted Wang Roar's broken shell, and solemnly waved at this thing: "Farewell! Stuart! Don't! The ...... of Youth"

Just as I was talking, I suddenly felt a pair of unwilling eyes flashing in the rearview mirror of the van.
