There are many unexplained things in this world, and Dr. Karen says that Yuan Xiaobai is very much like a patient he met in Africa when he was younger, and she is also a young girl, who seems to be helpless but three adult men can't stop her. Photophobia, confusion, delusions, and violent tendencies. In the end, the girl was saved by a local witch doctor, saying that she was possessed by the devil and that there was no problem in driving out the evil spirit.

At that time, Karen brought the case back to the United States to do research, but in the end, it was not solved because there was an essential faith gap between theology and science.

"Miss Yuan is much more serious than the case I encountered, her organs are already failing, and I suggest that she be sedated immediately and forcibly infused with nutrient solution and oxygen."

Yuan Xiaobai's father asked, "Is there anything else?" ”

"I'm sorry sir, your daughter's organ failure is very serious, maybe a month or so, unless God himself intervenes, I really can't do anything."

"Didn't you say that a witch doctor had ever saved such a patient? Where is he? I'm going to invite it. ”

"Mr. Yuan, I understand what you mean, but that was a long time ago, and I can't find a tribe in Africa, so I'm really sorry. Don, I'm leaving, you can fax me this patient's information every day, and I'll read it. ”

"Okay teacher, I'll arrange for someone to take you to the airport."

The fat man and I walked out of the hospital, not because we didn't want to stay, but because we couldn't bear it, a man who had just endured ten years of injustice fell down in front of his daughter again, and he felt that he owed her too much.

"What should I do?" The fat man asked me.

"I don't know, why don't I go back first, the foreign doctors said that she only has a month, and Wen Bin has to be notified of this. It's been two years since I left home last time, and I don't know if he came back, and Shanghai is close to me, two days away. ”

"Okay, then we'll go find him first."

The train, the destination of the provincial capital, I and the fat man live in a small hotel next to the train station, and it will take half a day to get from here to my hometown. That**, neither of us closed their eyes, time was so rich for us when we were young, but what was left for her was so stingy.

In the northwest of Zhejiang, Hongcun, we passed through the bus, minibus, tricycle all the way bumpy, when I saw the archway at the entrance of Hongcun again, it happened that all the way to wear linen and filial piety team from the village came out of the mighty way. Gongs and drums, suona, firecrackers, yellow and white paper money blown all over the ground by the wind, and I saw my father in the long funeral procession.

The person who died was Li Erye, Gao Shou, because he was a five-guarantee household without a queen, and he was the oldest person in the village at that time, so the village decided to come forward to give him a funeral, and I met Cha Wenbin at that funeral.

It's still the opening sentence, there are some things that you can't tell and can't explain.

This Second Master Li has a very good relationship with my grandfather, and he also knows Cha Wenbin's master Ma Sufeng, who is a well-known "superstitious leader" in our local area. My grandfather was the first to go, Ma Sufeng took Cha Wenbin with him after he was released from the cowshed two years earlier, and no one knows why he left or where he went.

It is said that Ma Sufeng had a dream half a month ago, in which Li Erye was wearing a shroud and told him that he was going to die, and wanted Ma Sufeng to go back and help him do a ritual. He said that he had robbed a lot of tombs and destroyed a lot of corpses in the first half of his life, and he was afraid that those people would not let him go. In this way, Ma Sufeng took Cha Wenbin to set off from Shaanxi, and finally rushed back to Hongcun the day before, and Li Erye also saved that breath until Ma Sufeng came.

According to the rules of the village, I am also the younger generation of Second Master Li, and Hong Village has such a population, so he also joined the team. The tomb mountain was found by Li Erye a few years ago, and it was not bad, lying there to see the whole picture of the village.

In the evening, the three of us met at my house.

Cha Wenbin is taller and thinner than two years ago, he has matured, surpassing me and the fat man, especially his eyes, which are clear and clear.

Ma Sufeng found a Taoist temple, in Zhongnan Mountain, deep in the mountains of the Qinling Mountains, there are countless hermits left behind, in history, there have been too many cultivators here. Kunlun is the first blessed land in the world, and its extraordinary features can be read from the name alone: also known as Taiyi Mountain.

Said to be a Taoist temple, in fact, it is two grass sheds, the master and apprentice depend on each other here, Ma Sufeng just told him that this place is a good place for enlightenment, and nothing else has to say. But judging from the red line bells that the master arranged outside the house every night, he seemed to be guarding against something, and the master didn't speak, and the apprentice didn't ask much.

I told Cha Wenbin about Yuan Xiaobai, and he was silent for a while and said that he would go back and ask the master.

Early the next morning, Cha Wenbin came to knock on the door, the genius was bright, he was wearing a gray sermon robe I almost didn't recognize, carrying a Qiankun bag on his back, and a long sword hanging obliquely, it looked like acting in a movie, as soon as I opened the door, he asked me: "Xiaoyi, my master said that your grandfather had a compass back then, is it still there?" ”

"I really don't know this, I'll have to ask Dad."

Actually, my father's relationship with my grandfather made me guess that he wouldn't have any interest in that thing at all, so I had to figure it out on my own.

I remember when my grandfather sat on his lap and said that the compass would be left to me in the future, and that my grandfather did give my father a small box before he died, and that was the only property he shared.

I seemed to have seen the box somewhere, so I went to my father to verify it, and sure enough, after his old man got the box, he didn't look at it at all and threw it in the corner of the second floor, and when I got it, the layer of ash on it was a finger thick.

There was a padlock on the box, and I didn't have time to find the key, so I used an iron rod to pry it open, and the compass was lying inside, with only the words "life" and "death" on it.

Taking the compass, Cha Wenbin's eyes obviously lit up, and he said: "My master said that this thing is a treasure, borrow it from me for a few days, maybe Xiaobai can use it, let's go to Shanghai now." ”

"You? Right now? "The fat man and I were a little dumbfounded, and I could imagine what kind of scene we would be watching as we walked through the bustling streets of Shanghai dressed like this.

He also looked around at his clothes and said, "yes, what's wrong?" ”

The fat man couldn't help but said, "Zha Ye, you better go back and change your outfit, we'll wait for you." ”

On the way, Cha Wenbin told us that after listening to Yuan Xiaobai's symptoms, Ma Sufeng said that eighty percent of them were evil. In the past two years, Cha Wenbin's ability has improved by leaps and bounds, and he knows a lot, Ma Sufeng decided to let him go out to practice.

"What is the use of evil to cure evil?" I asked.

"It is not possible to use medicine, and the evil person is not because of the body at all, but because of the soul. I figured she'd either run into something unclean or something else and wait until she got there. ”

Shanghai, Yuan's Mansion, Yuan Xiaobai's father happened to be at home, he was very surprised by our intention, but now at this juncture, it is a dead horse as a live horse doctor. He thought about it for a moment and then called the hospital, and after some arrangement, the car took us to the hospital.

It was a five-story hospital, the fifth floor was the morgue, and at the end of the morgue there was an empty room, and the hospital promised to arrange an absolutely quiet place, and there it was. Because this kind of thing is still in the hospital, if it is spread in those days, it is extremely risky, science and superstition, these are two opposites.

The person has been tied to a wheelchair, and Yuan Xiaobai's mouth has been wrapped with strips of cloth. Through her eyes, I saw her sweep over everyone with disgust, I had never seen a woman's eyes so fierce, so terrible, her mouth was "whining" and crying out non-stop, and her body was covered with thick bandages like a mummy.

The iron door between the fourth and fifth floors has been opened, and the head of the hospital said that we will be left with three hours, during which time no one else will appear on the entire fifth floor.

The fat man couldn't go in with him, because Cha Wenbin said that he had committed a rush that day, and Yuan Xiaobai's father couldn't, and only me and him went.

Everything was still normal when the mountain tower was in the middle of the building, there was a passage in the middle, the white corridor was a little dim, and a long line led to the innermost, when the doctor who led the way took us directly, Cha Wenbin found that there was something forgotten in the car: a basket containing food.

I said, "I'll go get it, you wait for me, it should be soon." ”

"Okay, go and get back."
