This method of framing pregnant women and children with nails is a small trick of carving insects, but it is often unaware.

In the Xuanhuang technique, this is called "changing the façade". This type of nail is called a "façade nail", and it is slightly different from ordinary nails. The top cap of the ordinary nail is flat, the nail cap of the façade is convex like a half drop of water droplets, the nail feet of the ordinary nails are four-sided cones, and the nail feet of the façade are eight-sided cones. The caster intends to affect the weak and young spirits of the house by modifying or destroying the aura of the house.

At that time, my father thought that he had offended so many souls, and if someone in his family was pregnant, would someone or ghost take revenge in this way.

"You also go and look inside and outside the wall, don't pull out the nails that are already there, and always pay attention to whether there are more nails in the places where you don't have. In addition, the drains, sewers, cat holes and other passages in front of and behind the house should be drained at all times without blockage. If there is a blockage, it may affect your child's intestines in the future. In addition, you accompany her when she goes out in the future, and be careful not to let strangers step on her shadow. "Grandpa thought of a little and said a little.

Yu Youyang nodded again and again.

"You take care of her here, I'll go find Xiaomi." Grandpa saw that Xiaomi hadn't come back yet, so he couldn't help but worry about her.

Grandpa went to the big pond and saw no trace of millet. Dad met people on the road and asked if he had seen millet, but no one knew.

I don't know what kind of psychology it is, as if I took my father to the old river.

Sure enough, Millet was sitting on the bank of the old river and watching the river flow into the distance. She was fascinated by it, and she didn't notice that her grandfather was already standing on the old river bridge looking at her.

Directly in front of the millet there is an unusual ripple rippling round and round, as if there is something like fish and shrimp tossing under the water. Every time the ripple became more violent, Xiaomi's little finger moved.

Grandpa saw that Xiaomi was here, and he relaxed a little. It's noon, and the sun is just right. Daddy raised his head to the sun and sucked gently, and the sunlight entered Daddy's mouth and blood like flowing water. As soon as the breeze blew, Grandpa felt that his armpits were windy, and he was almost going to go with the wind.

At this time, Grandpa felt that he was a tree next to the old river. He wants to stand here unmoving, watching all the changes in Thrush Village, watching the flowing water pass away, watching the red face grow old, and watching the morning like green silk turning into snow at dusk.

For a moment, my grandfather felt that the trees in the world were the real Buddhas.

Daddy stood for a long time, and finally stopped smoking the sun. He looked at Millet again, and his eyes were extremely sharp.

It turned out that Xiaomi's little finger was tied with an almost invisible silk thread, which was undoubtedly a silk thread. The other end of the silk hung down in the center of the ripple directly in front of her.

Grandpa looked underwater along the silk in the center of the ripples, and actually saw a child struggling in pain underwater! That kid was clearly not a normal child. It wore a bright red belly pocket, and its limbs were as fat as lotus roots, but its eyes were all black and white, and the nasal hair in its nostrils grew out like weeds in a hole, and at the same time as a bubble bubbled, the teeth that were as black as drinking ink were exposed.

The evil ghosts' teeth are as black as smoke and fire, because the resentment condenses into moisture in the mouth, causing the teeth to erode, just like the sores on the mouth and tongue when people have heat poison. For ghosts, resentment is the heat poison they need to remove.

Judging from the child's struggles, it is not a ghost of good water.

Except for a few types of ghosts, such as water ghosts, most of them are afraid of water.

My grandfather once told me that if you see a stranger at night at the water's edge, and the stranger begs you to carry him across the water, you must refuse. It's likely that you've encountered a ghost who wants to cross the water and doesn't dare.

Millet threw the child in the water, naturally intending to drown it.

Daddy's eyesight only improved for a while before returning to normal. The child faded away until it was gone. She couldn't see it. Grandpa could only see the ripples on the surface of the old river and the little fingers of millet moving.

Daddy walked over to her and sat down next to her.

"You have to take good care of Sister Zhao." Millet still looked at the flowing water in the distance.

"Of course." Daddy sighed softly.

"The soul in her belly is very weak."

Grandpa nodded and said, "I just knew." ”

"Some ghosts usually want to retaliate but can't retaliate against you. Now that there is an opportunity to take advantage of, it will definitely attract many ghosts. You have to be careful. Xiaomi's little finger gradually regained its composure and stopped flicking. The ripples in the old river gradually subsided.

"You just helped me kill one." Daddy pointed to the place where it had just rippled.

Millet smiled and said, "It seems that everything can't fool your eyes." ”

When Daddy saw the child in the water, he recognized it as a "ghost". It will forcibly take the soul of the pregnant woman from the womb and enter the womb itself. When the fetus is full in October, the pregnant woman will give birth to it, and it will be no different from an ordinary baby. Pregnant women feed it with milk, take care of it, and pay a lot of effort, sweat and emotion. But it will not appreciate it, and still leaves around the age of one, making the people who love it and raise it miserable. Whenever someone encounters this, the old man will comfort and say, "Don't be sad, it's here to trick people." But even so, how can the person concerned not grieve and be grieved?

Because the old man said comforting words like this, this ruthless imp got the nickname "ghost of the fool".

When Grandpa saw the "ghost", he understood that Zhao Xianyun must have been attacked by this kind of ghost just now, and Xiaomi happened to see it, so she tied the little ghost with silk and threw it into the old river and drowned.

This type of imp usually only appears on rainy days or at night. But sometimes it hides in the shadows of houses or trees, waiting for a frail pregnant woman to pass by. Therefore, if you see a pregnant woman in the shadow and suddenly feel a pain in her stomach, the person next to you should be careful and can stomp her feet and scold or spit to intimidate. This kind of little ghost is still shallow, and for fear of being scolded or spurned, he will immediately let go of the pregnant woman and run away.

Xiaomi didn't scold or spit on it, and killed it directly.

"No, my eyes are still easily deceived." Grandpa said, "When I was sending people out, I saw you standing by the big pond with a stranger wearing a hat, and when you came back, you didn't see that person. Who is that person? ”

Millet smiled: "It's a water monkey, but its current body belongs to its owner." ”

"Water monkeys?"

"yes. I was afraid that its human monkey head would scare the villagers, so I gave it a big hat to wear so that people could not see its head. Of course, the hat can also shield it from the sun, so that it will not burn it. ”

"How can it listen to you? You cut off both its head and its owner, and it's too late for it to hate you. Daddy asked.

"I know you told me to stop because they were afraid they would take revenge on me even more. That's what you call a standing by. There was still dissatisfaction in Xiaomi's tone.

"I also taught you not long ago that compassion can subdue demons, sorrow can soothe disasters, joy and love, and sacrifice to accumulate blessings. There are many ways to get rid of the evil spirit's resentment, why would you use this most cruel way? ”

Grandpa has long been worried about the appearance of millet's anger, so he deliberately instilled the concept of "four immeasurable hearts" in millet. Studying the "Four Immeasurable Minds" is the best way to cleanse people's anger. These "four immeasurable minds" are the four minds of compassion, compassion, joy, and giving. It is for the sake of great mercy to remove no benefit for all sentient beings; The desire to be immeasurably happy with all sentient beings is for the sake of great compassion; To rejoice in the hearts of all living beings is to rejoice greatly; Self-denial and generosity to others is a great sacrifice. Buddhism has clouds: compassion can subdue demons, compassion can subdue demons and external demons, bad temper, suspicion, and jealousy all belong to demons; Compassion is commonly said to be compassion and compassion, and if others suffer and empathize, they can generate the idea of benefiting and benefiting, and if they do it, they will be able to gain happiness and eliminate disasters; Joy respects, joy is also called "with joy", seeing that others can be happy from suffering, suddenly born a mood of infinite joy, happy people will be good, in case of trouble can get more help from others; This is a portrayal of the ancients' "suffering is a blessing", and those who can give up must be those who can sacrifice their own interests to fulfill others.

Daddy hoped that Millet would be able to develop the four immeasurable minds of compassion, compassion, joy, and renunciation, or enter the four meditation concepts of compassion, compassion, joy, and renunciation, so as to eliminate the innate anger.

Maybe it's because the time is too short, and Xiaomi doesn't listen to these at all.

"I remember your words. But that's something you can only do. I can't. Or rather, I can't do it for the time being. Millet shook her hand, and she picked up a string of water droplets. The droplets of water flew up and landed on the old river. "The water monkey listened to me because I promised to return the monkey's body and human head to it in the future."

The underwater "ghost" did not come up with the silk. A puff of black smoke rose in the water, some dissipated in the air, and some were carried away by the river. A "ghost" disappeared from the world.

If someone smells black smoke in the air, or happens to be downstream to drink water, it will also have a stomachache for a day or two.

"What about the water guests? Did you give her any similar promises? Daddy asked.

Millet shook her head and said, "No." ”

"Then how could she surrender to you?"

Mi asked her father, half-jokingly and half-seriously: "Do you know how to quickly make a person who is in pain and despair feel that he is not so painful and desperate?" ”

Daddy opened his mouth, and was about to answer but stopped it. After a while, Daddy said, "I don't know. ”

At this time, Grandpa already knew how Xiaomi persuaded the water guest.

Without waiting for Xiaomi to speak, Grandpa stood up and changed the topic: "Xiaomi, do you know? The situation where you sat by the water and drowned the little ghost reminds me of when I met Luo Buzhai many years ago. ”

Millet scoffed and said, "I'm different from him!" ”

Only when she is like this, does her father feel that she is still a childish child.

Daddy patted his clothes and said, "You can sit here a little longer." I'll go back to cooking. You'll come back when you think my meal is almost ready. ”

Xiaomi hugged her legs and nodded.

After returning home, his father saw that Yu Youyang was wiping Zhao Xianyun's face with a warm towel, so he took the towel over and wiped Zhao Xianyun's face himself.

Grandpa wiped Zhao Xianyun's face and asked Yu Youyang, who was standing aside, "Yu Youyang, do you know how to quickly make a person who is in pain and despair feel that he is not so painful and desperate?" ”

Yu Youyang shook his head and asked rhetorically, "You know?" ”

Grandpa smiled and said, "Let him find someone who is even more painful and desperate than him." ”

"Ah......" Yu Youyang didn't comprehend for a while.

Daddy threw the towel into the warm water in the basin and said, "Pour it out." I'll cook. ”
