Later, my grandfather got an ancient book called "Hundred Techniques", and I learned that the frozen ghost is also called "frozen bones", which is taken from the famous poet Du Fu's "Zhumen wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road". Not all people who freeze to death will become frozen ghosts, only those who can't look down on other people's good small belly chicken intestines will become frozen ghosts after freezing to death. Because they froze to death, they felt unbalanced when they saw that others still had body temperatures, and they had to take away other people's body temperatures.

Frozen ghosts are not the same as water ghosts who pull people into the water. The water ghost pulls people into the water to find a stand-in, and after finding a stand-in, he can leave the water. From this point of view, the water ghost is harmful to others and self-interested. And the frozen ghosts lure others to roast the fire not to find a substitute, they can't let themselves be exceeded because they freeze to death others, they are just because their hearts are unbalanced and they can't see the good of others, so they are harming others and not benefiting themselves.

So my grandfather has always taught my grandfather to stay away from people who can't see the good of others. Even if someone freezes to death, they will be the first to think of pulling you over to the fire. And you may think that the fire is really for warmth, and you are murdered in gratitude, and you still don't know how you died after you die.

What the locals of Ba'an said is not much different from what is recorded in the "Hundred Techniques Exorcism".

When Grandpa heard this, he suddenly felt like he was going to be in the aftermath of the catastrophe. But he wasn't too happy about it, and he was still worried about the outsider who joined after him.

"There's another guy like me out there, I'm going to get him out!" Grandpa said anxiously.

The man hurriedly grabbed him and persuaded him, "Since you have come out, do not go back!" We locals don't dare to expose their tricks in front of others, so wouldn't you be caught in the net if you go? ”

Grandpa looked back frequently, and he couldn't bear it.

The man said, "It's impossible to save him tonight." You've just left, and now you're going back with someone else, and you're sure to arouse the suspicion of the Frozen Ghost. When the time comes, not only will you not be able to save him, but you will not be able to escape yourself. If you want to save him, you can talk about it tomorrow night. ”

Grandpa heard that there was still hope in the words, and asked, "Tomorrow night?" Will you be able to save him tomorrow night? ”

The man said, "Then it depends on his life." Have you noticed, the eyes of those five frozen ghosts who roasted the fire are not the same as those of the living. When they bake the fire, there is no light reflected from the flame in their eyes. ”

This sentence immediately touched my father. Grandpa had already noticed that something was wrong with them, but he didn't know what was wrong, and now that he thinks about it, there is indeed no jumping fire in their eyes! Their eyes are set in their faces like bottomless dry wells!

When the man saw his father, he knew that his father had found out, so he continued: "If you are not afraid of taking risks and really want to save that person, then come here again tomorrow night and pretend that something suddenly left tonight, or that you got lost and didn't find it." Tomorrow night you continue to pretend to borrow a fire from them to see if there is a fire in the eyes of the person you are trying to save. If there is, it means that although he is about to freeze to death, he still has some hope of saving. If not, it means that he has no calories at all, and there is no hope of coming back to life. ”

"Will that man still have a fire with them tomorrow night?" Daddy asked.

"As long as he doesn't find out the true colors of those five frozen ghosts tonight, he can't do without that fire, and he will roast until he freezes to death. Fortunately, the fire absorbs heat quickly and slowly, and you can only try your luck. ”

Daddy decided to go back to the village with the locals to rest, and then come back the next night to save the poor man.

Along the way, the two persuaded Daddy not to come back.

Dad said, "I promised him that we would go together after a night's rest." I can't break my promise. ”

When he arrived at the locals' house to make a fire, Grandpa immediately felt warm. The kind-hearted locals wanted to invite someone from their village who knew a little magic to exorcise evil spirits for Grandpa, after all, Grandpa had been roasting there for a while, and some of the yang energy on his body had been absorbed.

Grandpa insisted on refusing.

The locals asked, "The loss of yang energy is harmful to the body, why don't you?" ”

Grandpa said, "I appreciate your kindness." You know, I'm going to that place tomorrow night to rescue my companions, and if I exorcise the evil now, won't those five frozen ghosts see through my intentions when I go back tomorrow night? If I still pass with this lack of yang energy, maybe they will believe me a little more because they think that I have not discovered their flaws, and I can bring that companion out. ”

The locals felt that Grandpa was right, so they had to give up. But the person who could exorcise evil spirits still took the initiative to come to see his father and talked to him for more than an hour.

The next night, Grandpa returned alone to the place where the fire had been held last night.

When he saw the fire last night, Daddy was shocked!

At this time, there were nine people around the fire! The extra few people must have joined later, maybe after Daddy left last night, or maybe before Daddy came tonight. Grandpa saw at a glance the person he met last night.

When he saw that person, my grandfather's heart was cold. There was no leaping fire in the man's eyes, and the hollow was as black as two holes that could not be penetrated.

Locals have said that if there is no jumping fire in the person's eyes, it means that the person is hopeless.

But Grandpa was still unwilling. He still walked towards the fire∵ and when he got to the fire, he flicked his sleeve and said, "Oh, I went to pee in the little forest last night, but when I came back, I got lost, and I went to a nearby house and spent the night. I didn't expect to meet you here tonight, it's really fate! ”

The nine of them did not speak, silently reaching out to bake the fire, as if they could not hear their grandfather's words.

Grandpa stepped closer and saw more clearly. It turned out that the eyes of these nine people were hollow, without a single flicker. In other words, the five frozen ghosts last night have become nine today.

Grandpa pretended not to notice that the man had become a frozen ghost, and shouted at the man, "Hey, Zhuo No, didn't you say that you would come with me after a night's rest?" "Grandpa had heard that some people who had fallen into the nightmare would wake up when they heard familiar words, so he deliberately chose last night's words to wake him up.

Sure enough, the man actually raised his head and glanced at his father, his cold expression melted on his face, and the corners of his mouth twitched. For a moment, Grandpa saw the fire in his eyes flash out, like a match struck in the night wind, just burning but immediately blown out.

The five frozen ghosts last night obviously heard Grandpa's words, and they all turned their heads to look at Grandpa, their faces gloomy.

Grandpa hurriedly added: "Anyway, it's so late today, you can't see anything clearly on the road, why don't I rest here with you for one more night, and wait until tomorrow morning to go on the road." "Grandpa said this deliberately to confuse the frozen ghost. After Daddy said this, the Frozen Ghost not only didn't worry about him escaping tonight, but also looked forward to freezing Daddy to death by this fire tonight.

People often fall into greed, and so do ghosts.

When the frozen ghost saw his grandfather sitting down by the fire, he stretched out his palms above the flame and baked it, and immediately put his mind at ease, thinking that there was another ghost who could absorb yang energy.

Grandpa was cooking the fire while thinking about how to take the person he met last night away from this place, and the exorcist taught Grandpa how to save the frozen ghost. Grandpa recalled it in his heart.

"This fire is not strong enough, and it is still not warm enough after roasting for so long, but it is a little chilly. I'll go pick up some firewood and add it up. Daddy said.

The five frozen ghosts immediately aimed their hole-like eyes at Grandpa at the same time. Their firewood is a ghost fire, and it cannot be added to the real firewood. When firewood is pressed against the fire, it will not ignite, but it will extinguish it. The frozen ghost saw that his father was going to collect firewood, how could he not be in a hurry?

As the exorcist explained, this sentence can attract the attention of the new frozen ghosts, and make them feel the fact that their bodies are gradually getting cold during the roasting process, which makes them feel unusual. Ghosts deceive people, and use more methods of confusion. If the method of deception is revealed by others, or if the deceived person discovers it, then it is difficult for the ghost to do it. This sentence can warn the frozen ghost, so that the frozen ghost thinks that his father has suddenly come to his senses, and in turn puts psychological pressure on the frozen ghost.

The eldest-looking freezer finally broke the silence, he picked up a few sticks of wood from his hand and put them on the fire, and said in a dull and hoarse voice, "There is still firewood here, so you don't have to bother to pick it up." His voice was like that of a man who had a severe cold, and it was so cold that one was afraid that if he said anything more, he would catch the cold and have to stay away.

When the wood was added to the fire, the flames rose two feet high. It looked like the flames were getting stronger, but Daddy felt his body get colder faster.
