The godfather picked up the startling wood and smashed the altar table, took a step back, held the horn hexagram in his left hand, and held the master knife in his right hand.

The master knife is a kind of magic weapon commonly used in the Meishan area, and there is a ring at the handle of the knife, and five copper coins are on the ring, which will produce a light and brittle impact sound when shaken.

The godmaster shook the sword, and the horn hexagram in his left hand made a collision sound in the release of the godfather's hand, and the sound of the knife reflected each other. The godfather chanted a dialect spell like a mountain song in his mouth, and the second gangster godmaster knocked on the cymbals.

The godfather threw out the horn hexagram and played a yin hexagram, the godfather stood in place and bent over, took the master knife upside down in his right hand and used the ring of the handle of the knife to hook the horn hexagram back, picked it up and recited the incantation, shook the master knife, and threw it out to play a yang hexagram. The godfather took back the horn hexagram like last time, and then threw it out to make a winning hexagram.

In the ritual of inviting the saint to descend, it is necessary to play the yin and yang trigrams to indicate that the gods have come down. The godfather made a joke, got up and put the master knife and the horn hexagram back in front of the altar, pinched it with his left hand, picked up the shocking wood with his right hand and knocked on the altar table again.

The godfather picked up the egg tied with peach wood talisman and leaves on the altar table, and whispered the incantation in the direction of Old Man Zhao's house. After a while, he suddenly shouted out the female name in the dialect loudly, and then pinched the forehead of the woman pattern on the mahogany card.

Erhei explained to me in a whisper: "This represents the daughter-in-law of the Zhao family, and that egg represents the little girl's birth." Originally, if you didn't leave the human womb, you didn't need leaves, so you just put eggs and charms into the thatched fire to simmer. Just call back the little girl's soul. ”

I was very shocked when I listened to it, and it was not what Erhei said, but what Erhei did. He usually beats cymbals and occasionally gongs and drums, but in this case, he can do two things, no... Triple-purpose, usually playing music while talking to me. It's really a person who can't look good.,Usually Erhei looks a little woody.,I didn't expect it to be a very capable person.。

On the other side, he erected a small iron frame, with a handful of thatch underneath. The godfather put the peach wood talisman with the leaves and eggs tied to the shelf, and then recited the spell and lit the handful of thatch with a match. The hot smoke from the thatch smoked upward, and the fire did not directly burn the eggs.

Then the godfather carried a plate with three leaves and eggs on it, lit the gold paper, and recited a spell to ask General Sanyuan to come here and retrieve the soul of the little girl.

The traditional folk witch culture believes that the human soul is composed of three souls, so the three eggs represent the three souls of the little girl, and now the three souls must be recovered.

The fire is roasting eggs, and now the little girl's soul must feel hot and uncomfortable, let General Sanyuan send soldiers and horses out to collect it, and the little girl's soul will be willing to come back.

After the godfather burned the gold paper, he stepped on his left foot, held an egg in his right hand and lifted it, at this time I quickly blew a horn, Erhei sounded a gong and drum, and the godmaster recited the incantation. After the curse, he shouted the name of the little girl loudly, picked up the horn hexagram and threw it out, and saw that the hexagram was correct, so he picked up another one.

I thought it would end so smoothly, but I never thought that when the third egg was born, the hexagram was always wrong. Sweat particles appeared on the godfather's forehead.

The godfather came again, and just threw the hexagram out, when there was a sound on the other side.

Everyone was shocked and looked over together, but found that the shelf was broken, and the eggs were smashed to the ground, and the egg liquid flowed to the thatch, extinguishing the fire. At this critical moment, the shelf suddenly broke, and everyone stopped at once, and the scene became unusually quiet.

The godfather swallowed his saliva and looked at Luo Tai, his eyes seemed to ask what was going on? Luo Tai looked at the godfather and shook his head slightly to indicate that he didn't know. For a while, the two looked at each other, and everyone didn't know what to do.

The godfather thought for a few seconds, and suddenly roared, stomping his feet in anger. I was a little scared and asked my godfather, "Godmaster, what's going on?" Do you have anything in mind? Out of fear, his tone became respectful.

The godfather was so angry that the green tendons on his forehead and arms came out and said, "That old man Zhao made a tent of sea water for labor and management to block my law." ”

He roared at Luo Xi again: "Didn't you say that damn guy is just doing chores in the temple and doesn't know any spells?" ”

Luo Dai looked at Lin Dongjia, who had a very bad face, and hurriedly comforted the godmaster, and after the godfather calmed down a little, he said: "He really doesn't know how to spell, Penghaihai, I remember that this is the nearby Meishan Yuan Emperor." I think he may have invited someone from the same sect as you, so don't be angry and calm down. You have a very high rank in the Dharma Sect nearby, not to mention the same sect as you, as long as we find someone to do this spell for him, you go and talk about it, and it is estimated that the Fa will be put away. ”

The godmaster also calmed down, glanced at Lin Dongjia and said to Luo Dai, "What do you want to say over there?" ”

Luo Tai coaxed the godmaster and said: "It's okay, it's okay, I'm in charge of this old man, don't be angry with you, you haven't slept for a long time, hurry up and go to sleep." ”

After hearing this, the godfather also agreed, and was about to go into the house to sleep, and when I saw the godfather lose his temper, I could only stand aside, weak and helpless and pitiful.

Luo Tai also came over to comfort me and said: "Don't be afraid, he usually doesn't have such a violent temper, the main reason is that he has lived so long, and he is a very senior person in Meishan, no matter how you say it, he is a little decent." This time, Old Man Zhao directly beat him with a broom in front of everyone, which was already considered to have smashed his face, and this time he used Peng Haihai to block his law, or when he deliberately asked the victim to deal with things in the middle of the night, his old face couldn't hang up. After all, he hadn't missed a crack in nearly fifteen years. If you can't control your emotions at once, you should take care of it more. ”

Listening to Luo Tao's explanation, I also settled down a little, and after getting along with the godfather for a few months, I also know that the godmaster is a good person and a true person. Being lost face one after another by a hated person, it is inevitable that your mind will explode and your emotions will be out of control.

Thinking of this, I replied to Luo Da, "I understand, I don't care about anything? But Lin Dongjia doesn't matter. ”

Luo Yi smiled kindly and said, "It's okay, it's okay, I'll come to Lin Dong's house, you and Erhei go to sleep, I'll clean up here." After speaking, he went to explain to Lin Dongjia.

Erhei and I looked at each other, and then at the mess, and felt that we couldn't leave it to Luo Tai to clean up alone, but these were the results of the failure of the approach. It's not good to move around, so the two of them stand stiffly.

At this time, the godmaster in the back room hurriedly ran out in his clothes again, looked at me and Erhei and said, "I was angry just now, you two haven't slept just yet, come and help me ask the saint to return." ”

Since there is a ritual of "please return to the saint" to invite the god to the altar, there is naturally also a ritual of "please return to the saint" to send the god away, and this ritual is generally divided into two parts. The first is to sing celebrations, which are to sing the historical stories of the gods and to promote his divine power, and then the ceremony of thanking the teacher is held, but this time the ritual was not successful, so it is only necessary to make a simple celebration.

The godfather picked up the startling wood and patted it, I blew the horn of the cow, and the second black struck the gong again. The godfather took the master knife and began to move around, as if he was singing, singing a spell for sending the gods, and Erhei occasionally used cymbals to beat it as an accompaniment.

After the godfather finished singing, he picked up a stack of gold paper, pinched it and bowed, and then lit the pile of gold paper. I went back to the altar and knocked on the shocking wood, Erhei tapped the gong, I blew the horns three times, the horns were not as high as they began, but low and long, representing the return of the saint, the return of the soldiers and horses, and the removal of the altar.

After that, the godfather took out a piece of red cloth, picked up the peach wood card, put it on top of the red cloth, picked up the incense and blew it out, put it on the red cloth together, and wrapped it. Picked up the two incense burners, handed the red cloth wrap and the incense burner to Erhei, and explained: "Find a place to put it away and keep it for next time." ”

After the godmaster finished asking the saint to send him off, he took off the five old crowns and tags on his body, stretched his waist and pointed to the eggs and said to Erhei: "You take off the leaves and keep them, and the eggs will be boiled and sent to Lin Dong's family as an apology." And he went into the back room.

And over there, although Lin Dongjia was comforted by Luo Tao, his face was still not too good-looking, which made me a little worried, and asked Erhei who was cleaning up the rotten pond together: "This thing can't be done, the owner won't sue us, right?" ”

Erhei was cleaning up with his head stuffy, and suddenly I asked him like this, and he was stunned for a while and said: "Don't worry, the thief will fool, I've been doing this business for so long, and nothing has happened." ”

Seeing that Erhei was so confident, I also felt that my worries might be superfluous, and asked Erhei again, "Do you know what Penghai Hai is?" ”

After hearing this, Erhei stopped what he was doing, frowned and began to think, as if I had asked a big problem. I was a little embarrassed, so I said, "It's okay if I don't know, I'll just go back and ask the godmaster." ”

Erhei didn't pay attention to me, but continued to stand frowning and thinking, and said in his mouth: "I seem to have a memory of knowing this, but suddenly I forgot it, wait a while, I will remember it immediately." ”

Seeing this, I could only silently clean up the mess by myself, sweep the paper money and ashes into my pocket little by little, and pour them into the bucket. Erhei suddenly patted his head at this time and said to me: "I remembered my ears!"

After that, Erhei explained to me and let me understand the spell of Peng Haihai. This spell is not a common simple spell, and it is related to the folk culture of the Meishan area.

In the Meishan area, families with religious beliefs and more knowledgeable practices will invite a Meishan or Yuan Emperor's mage to come to their home when a woman is pregnant. In one corner of the bedroom, place a basin, pour water from the well, draw a charm, and cover it with a white cloth. This kind of spell is called connecting to the sea, which means that let this basin of water connect to the sea, as if the house is surrounded by a circle of sea, and when there is any evil or bad thing to come in, it will flow into the sea and disappear, which is a kind of protection method.

The word "Penghai" refers to the sea area around Penglai Xiandao in the three islands of the ten continents. Penglai Immortal Island is surrounded by weak water, and it cannot be crossed without flying immortals. The method of "Peng Haihai" means that what surrounds this house is not ordinary sea water, but weak water in the sky, and all spells will be invalid when they see it. This is the meaning of the name "Penghai Sea" for this method.

Although the meaning of the name will be a little exaggerated, but this spell is still quite powerful, "Peng Haihai" is often used to prevent one's four-eyed woman from being framed by others or burning the fetus, which can lead to miscarriage.

After learning about the method of Peng Haihai, I can only sigh that the luck of the godmaster is really bad, because it is said that ordinary mages will only "receive seawater", and only a small number will use "Penghai sea", so it was so coincidental that the godmaster ran into it.
