Chapter 7: The Conjuring
Although the evil god was killed, everyone was not happy. A normal child has become a fool since then, who can be happy.
The fat man squatted at the doorway, a decadent color.
I stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, comforting: "Fatty, you don't have to be too sad, whether we kill him or not, Xiaoyu's life and soul have been eaten by him, and the result will not change." When we beheaded him, we were only doing harm to the people. ”
"Alas......" The fat man sighed decadently and sat for a long time.
Aunt Mei and Aunt Ming hugged Xiaoyu and cried bitterly, and the whole room was filled with a sad atmosphere.
When I saw this scene twice, I felt very uncomfortable. Staying here didn't help much, so I got up and prepared to take my leave.
"Brother Haisheng, Brother Qiang, it's raining, you take the umbrella, don't get wet." Mengxue took out an umbrella and handed it to the two of us.
I don't know when, it rained outside the house, and it seemed that I was also sad for the light rain.
However, when I received Mengxue's umbrella, I was stunned, because according to my judgment, there was something hidden in this umbrella.
When I explored carefully, I was even more surprised, because inside this umbrella was actually a soul head.
Yes, it is a soul head, the umbrella can hide the yin, as long as anyone who has heard the story of the female ghost making trouble in Guangchanglong knows that the umbrella is the shelter of the soul, if the umbrella is opened in some places with heavy bad luck, it is very likely to provoke dirty things back.
Could it be that this Aunt Mei is still outside and provokes dirty things back. I opened the umbrella and looked at it, completely stunned, but then I was pleasantly surprised, because the soul in the umbrella actually looked the same as Xiaoyu. Frightened, I quickly closed the umbrella and put Xiaoyu back into the umbrella.
"Fatty, fatty, look, guess who I saw when I opened the umbrella......"
The fat man pushed my hand away angrily, and said weakly, "How do I know who you see." ”
I grabbed his shoulder and shook it vigorously twice, and said with great joy: "I just saw a soul head in the umbrella that is exactly the same as Xiaoyu. ”
"Damn, you're not serious, are you?" The fat man was excited, snatched the umbrella and opened it. When he opened it, he was also stunned, because the soul in the umbrella was indeed the same as Xiaoyu's appearance, and there was no doubt that it was Xiaoyu's lost soul.
"Hurry up and close it, in case the soul head drifts away, we won't be able to find it." Because the soul is out of the body, it is unconscious, and once it is far away, it may not be able to come back, so I hurriedly reminded the fat man.
The fat man quickly closed the umbrella and hugged me happily.
However, I also wondered in my heart, wasn't Xiaoyu's soul eaten by the rat spirit? How could it be hidden in an umbrella. It only took me a moment to figure it out.
The rat Jingtuomeng said that he had fallen in love with Xiaoyu, and what he wanted was Xiaoyu's complete soul, not just a life soul. Therefore, after it hooked out Xiaoyu's life soul, it hid the life soul in the umbrella, just wait for Xiaoyu to die, the three souls gather, then it can have a complete Xiaoyu, thinking of this, I can't help but marvel at the cunning of this mouse spirit, although this mouse spirit has not been open for a long time, but this IQ has far exceeded ...... Fatty.
The fat man is always a stunned young man, an optimist, and he doesn't care why Xiaoyu's soul is still hidden in this umbrella. In short, the soul is still there, just know that Xiaoyu can still be saved.
Aunt Mei's family saw us jumping and jumping, although they didn't say anything, but they all had a little displeasure on their faces. Speaking of which, someone's daughter was killed by a spirit, and you were still so happy as if you were going to celebrate your birthday, so ordinary people would have swept you out with a broom.
Seeing that their faces were getting stranger and stranger, I didn't dare to hesitate, and quickly told them the truth. When they heard that Xiaoyu was still saved, they grabbed my hand and said nervously: "Xiaodao Chief, what you said is true, is my Xiaoyu still saved?" ”
I nodded, said yes, and then I said to them, "As long as we summon Xiaoyu's soul and let Xiaoyu's soul return to his body, then Xiaoyu will return to nature." However, you'll have to prepare a few things for us before we can summon spirits. ”
Aunt Mei and Aunt Ming agreed repeatedly: "As long as you can save my daughter, you can ask for anything." ”
I made a list of all the things I needed: "yellow paper, cinnabar, brushes, white cloth, bamboo poles, and rice for directions." ”
In less than ten minutes, the two of them prepared their things, after all, their daughter's life was at stake, and the two parents were also very anxious.
After the things were brought, the fat man asked Aunt Mei and Uncle Mei to close all the doors, and then the fat man couldn't wait to start drawing the talisman, and pasted the talisman on the door and window. The purpose of this is to prevent the soul from getting lost and out of our sight.
I set the umbrella on the table, carried Xiaoyu to the bed, and then divided the rice into two ways until the umbrella was placed.
Asking for directions is usually used by the goddess to open the ghost door and lure the ghost up. But at the same time, it can also be used to summon spirits, because asking for directions is used to attract spirits.
I asked Mengxue to make a spiritualist flag out of white cloth and bamboo poles, and instructed Aunt Mei and my uncle to call Xiaoyu's name when Mengxue shook the spiritualist flag for a while.
The fat man sat down cross-legged, ready to recite the conjuring spell, and when everyone was ready, I snapped and opened the umbrella. Xiaoyu's life spirit appeared in the house, and no one could see it except me and the fat man.
At this moment, she looked confused and wandered around the room.
Under my nod, Mengxue slowly shook the spirit flag, while Aunt Mei and Aunt Ming cried Xiaoyu's name over and over again.
This is the Taoist ritual of conjuring spirits, rice is used to guide the way, flags are used to summon souls, and relatives shout souls in order to call the confused soul back to the body of the master by means of that trace of blood relationship.
If it is the soul conjuring of my Yinshan faction, it will be much more convenient directly, go directly to the temple to borrow the general, and ask the soldier to bring the soul back. But for a while, I didn't know where to find the temple, and Xiaoyu's soul was in the house, so I couldn't find it at all. But the soul is not like bread, and it can't be stuffed directly into it, so we chose this way of conjuring spirits.
At first, Xiaoyu was still confused and circled around the room, with the shouts of the two closest relatives, he walked into the range of asking for directions, step by step towards his own body, seeing her getting closer and closer to the body, me and the fat man were a little excited.
In the end, she returned to her body unharmed. At this time, I quickly picked up a brush and dipped it in cinnabar and put it on her forehead.
Cinnabar has the effect of calming the nerves, and I did this precisely to calm Xiaoyu's soul that had just returned to the body, and prevent the soul from leaving the body again.
When the soul first entered the body, Xiaoyu's whole body trembled twice, and after half a sound, she slowly calmed down. I saw that she seemed to be stable, so I let go of the cinnabar pen in my hand.
"Okay, it's okay......" I breathed a sigh of relief and said to Aunt Mei and Aunt Ming
The two of them asked me suspiciously, "Are you really okay?" ”
I just wanted to say that it was okay, but Xiao Yuwa, who was lying on the bed, cried loudly, opened her eyes, and cried and called out to her mother a few times.
This frightened Aunt Mei and hurriedly took Xiaoyu into her arms. But at the same time, I know that their hearts are at peace and they will cry, which means that they are fine
It's just that after a child loses his soul, he usually gets seriously ill. So Xiaoyu's body is still very weak now, and the fat man wrote two more prescriptions to calm his nerves, and asked Aunt Mei to give Xiaoyu to drink according to the medicine.
After a long time, Xiaoyu gradually regained her look. Aunt Mei and Uncle Mei went into the house and took out two big red envelopes, and insisted on giving them to us.
Originally, we didn't want it, but as soon as we thought that it was karma money, we took out fifty of them and returned the rest to Aunt Mei.
Those who do what we do are most afraid of being contaminated with cause and effect, whether they owe others cause and effect, or others owe you cause and effect, it is not what we are willing to see. So every time we do something for someone else or do divination, they will give us some sesame oil money, and we are willing to accept it. It's not that we're greedy, it's because the money is karma. After receiving the money, the cause and effect are clear, and no one owes anyone. We don't want the poor to give more, and we don't want the rich to give less.
The rain outside the house was getting heavier and heavier, and it was just a little rain at first, and it didn't take long for it to pour down. We couldn't leave for a while, and at this time, Aunt Mei insisted that we stay for dinner, saying that it was to thank us.
In desperation, we agreed to disturb Aunt Mei for the night and leave tomorrow. But when Aunt Mei was about to cook the suckling pig and other things on the god table, our faces turned blue and we almost wanted to throw up.
Why? Because the rat spirit had eaten all these things just now. Although the rat spirit eats the essence of the meat, it does not really bite it. But the two of us felt strange at the thought that the meat had been eaten by the rats, and we couldn't eat it anyway.
Later, when Aunt Mei asked the two of us why we didn't eat, we told the reason. Aunt Ming laughed, braved the rain to go to the village to pack a few side dishes and came back.
When Uncle Ming opened these dishes, the fat man was almost crying without tears. These dishes include duck, beef, dog, yellow eel, and fish soup.
Because Emperor Wuxian Huaguang was rescued by ducks and cows, the disciples of Huaguang respected both of these things very much and did not eat these two things. And after learning the martial arts, you can't eat scaleless fish and turtles, and if you eat them, you will break the martial arts, and the scaleless fish refers to fish without scale armor, such as yellow eels and loaches. As for dog meat, it is almost not eaten by monks.
I could still take two bites of the duck's leg and eat some duck meat, but the fat man was bitter, and he was obviously hungry and growling, but there was nothing on the table to eat except for the suckling pig that had been bitten by the rat. But in front of Aunt Mei and Aunt Ming, the fat man can't be as casual as at home. I can only cry my face and pick up the rice hard. When Aunt Mei and Uncle Ming asked about the two of us, we were afraid that Aunt Ming would go out to buy things in the rain again, so we didn't dare to tell the truth.
I grinned and said I just like duck and have no appetite for anything else. And the fat man squeezed out a smile between his teeth: "What, I've been losing weight recently." ”
I almost couldn't hold it back, and the duck meat I swallowed almost squirted out...... Ha ha.
