Chapter 115: The Conjuring
The male ghost didn't seem to hear An Xin's question, he rolled his eyes again, and began to say in that stiff tone: "It's time for my wife to eat yao, I want to go home." γGalaxy the Great, no pop-up ads to read. It's time for my wife to eat, and I'm going home. It's time for my wife to eat yao, I want to go home......"
An Xiangyu couldn't help it, and said a little impatiently: "Wow, I thought the ghost would be so scary, for a long time, how could he be like a repeater, and only say such a sentence." β
Liu Ya also frowned, thought for a while and said: "It is estimated that he was too frightened when he died, one soul and one soul were scared away, and now he has three souls and seven souls are not complete, so he will become like this, only remember the most important things, but he doesn't remember anything else." Even if he goes to reincarnate like this, when he is born, he will be a mentally retarded child. β
Listening to Liu Ya's words, An Xin couldn't help but feel worried about the unlucky ghost in front of her, and she asked, "Then what can we do to help him?" β
Liu Ya smiled slightly and said, "Of course there is a way, we can summon spirits." β
"The Conjuring?" An Xin had never seen this wonderful spell before.
Folklore has three souls and seven souls, is the human life jing god, the human soul is usually attached to the human body, when the living person is frightened by the accident, its soul will be separated from the body, difficult to return, resulting in malaise, jing god trance, and even bedridden. And if the soul of the deceased is incomplete, his spiritual intelligence will be lost, and even if he is reincarnated, he will be born with a mental retardation. This is the 'soul dropping'. In the eyes of superstitious people, the only way to cure the 'soulless' is to summon the soul, also known as "soul calling" or "soul calling".
Some spiritualism rituals are very professional, such as the spiritualism of fishermen. They have a special set of memorial customs. After the fisherman was unfortunately buried in the sea, because the body could not be recovered, his family used rice people to replace the corpse, put on the clothes of the deceased, and set up a "mourning hall" at home. At the same time, on the seashore outside the village. Ask a Taoist priest to summon the spirits of the deceased.
The spiritualism is carried out at night when the sea is first rising, and the relatives of the deceased must go to the beach to shout, call back the "yin soul" that has been lost in the sea, and recruit them into the rice cao people. Then the burial is carried out, this spiritualist ritual. It's called "Tide Soul".
Relatives should first set up a small "dipping table" on the seaside, and then in the evening, they will light incense and candles in zhangpeng, and put a rice cao person in the middle, with the deceased's birthday on it. When the tide rises in the evening, the Taoist priest sits on the "dipping table", rings the soul bell in his hand, and recites a mantra in his mouth.
At this time, piles of bonfires will be lit before and after the "dipping platform", and someone is holding a bamboo with roots in his hand. There is a basket hanging on the top, which contains a rooster, facing the sea, and with the mantra of the Taoist priest, it keeps shaking the bamboo.
There are also families of the deceased who wear linen and filial piety. Carrying a lantern with words, he called the name of the deceased in a loud voice: "So-and-so is coming!" So-and-so is coming! "The voice was very bleak. Then, a child or a relative of the deceased answered: "Come on, come on!" "One call and one response, until the tide flattens, the Taoist priest leads the soul home. It was only the next day that the relatives put the rice cao people in the coffin. Sent to the mountains for burial.
Of course, this is a unique way of conjuring spirits for fishermen, and it is not applicable everywhere, but a common way of conjuring spirits in the countryside in the past is: before the funeral of the deceased, a relative of the deceased stands on the roof and shouts the name of the deceased, thinking that in this way he can summon his gone soul back, so as not to return home and become a wild ghost.
Of course, Liu Ya's so-called spiritualism is different from these. I saw that he began to rummage through his huge treasure bag again, and after a while, a bundle of white thread and a bag of 100 meters came out of it. "Wow, are you the treasure bag of the legendary Clank Bell." An Xiangyu said a little incredulously, and then he began to probe his brain into Liu Ya's bag curiously. Trying to see what else was inside, he muttered. "Will there be pots and shovels in there, then you can have a picnic at any time."
Liu Ya's hand rummaged in the bag for a while, and he didn't forget to retort in his mouth: "As soon as I heard that you were a foodie, did you still eat something when you looked at this pile of rotten meat?" β
An Xiangyu said puzzledly: "Then what are you carrying with you a bag of rice gan, isn't it used to cook rice?" β
Liu Ya finally found what he wanted from his bag, and he pulled out his hand, and he actually held a few small bamboo baskets in his hand. He took a long breath and didn't forget An Xiangyu's question, and replied, "Of course it's used for soul summoning." β
He found four slender bamboo poles, tied them firmly to the top of the bamboo poles, and then took out the underwear that had been stripped from the deceased's body, a vest, a short strip, and a set of cotton sweater underwear, and he tied these four things into the bamboo basket with white thread, and then cha a spirit flag on each bamboo basket.
After doing this, Liu Ya went against his usual indecency, and said with a serious face: "If you want to bring his soul back, you need the four of us to work together, and I can't do it alone." β
Ma Chao just pouted and didn't say anything, because he had worked with Liu Ya countless times, and he had a tacit understanding for a long time, and of course he knew what he wanted to do. An Xin didn't know anything, but she still said firmly: "If you tell me what to do, I will do it." β
An Xiangyu was dumbfounded, he pointed to his nose and asked, "And my business?" β
Liu Ya nodded and said, "Of course it's your business, plus you, we just have four people who can see his soul." Because his soul didn't know where to go for a long time, the four of us needed to divide into four directions, southeast, northwest, and go to find him, and whoever found him could lead him here. I can combine his three souls and seven spirits at the same time. β
"Do you want me to go alone to find a ghost? Didn't I light a lantern and go into the latrineβlooking for to die? I'm not going, I'm not going to die. An Xiangyu almost jumped up, and Ji Lie resisted. In fact, his heart is really crying without tears, people just want to come and see the excitement, whether it is good to have a long experience, and he doesn't want to have close contact with these ghosts at all, woo woo, mom I want to go home, it's terrible outside.
Liu Ya refused to give him a chance to retreat, and threatened with bad intentions: "If you don't cooperate with me today, I won't give you the effect of relieving the tears of the cow, so that you can see ghosts in your life." β
An Xiangyu's tears really burst out this time, and he desperately tried to make the last struggle: "As a people's policeman, how can you act as a bandit, I don't accept it." β
"Saving a person's life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, so think about how much merit it it is to save a ghost's life." Liu Ya is both soft and hard at this time, like a big bad wolf with a lollipop who wants to kidnap Little Red Riding Hood.
At this time, An Xin also comforted: "Xiao Yu, let's help him, in this way, you put on my string of small leaf Venus Rosewood Buddha beads." As she spoke, she planned to take off the Buddhist beads in her hand and put them on An Xiangyu.
Liu Ya broke and said: "Miss An's Buddha beads are indeed a rare Buddhist magic weapon, even I don't have anything comparable to it, after wearing it, any evil thing can't get close." But we are going to summon spirits today, you are wearing this string of Buddha beads, Yin Soul will not dare to approach you, how can he come with you. So, Miss An, you can't wear it yourself. An Xin heard him say this, and without saying a word, she took off the string of small leaf Venus rosewood Buddha beads, Liu Ya handed her a small black cloth bag, saying that it was used to block the Buddha's light, An Xin carefully put the Buddha beads in, and then put them in her pocket.
However, in order to appease An Xiangyu's Qing Xu, Liu Ya still gave him a "Jiawu Yuqing amulet" talisman. In the end, forced by Liu Ya's prestige, An Xiangyu had to obediently pick up one of the bamboo poles. The remaining three were held by An Xin, Ma Chao, and Liu Ya respectively.
Liu Ya also instructed: "Because we are not his relatives, he may not necessarily follow us, so now we each bring a bag of 100 meters, if any of you see him, go back quickly, sprinkle white rice as you go, and he will come back with you." Remember, you must see him and sprinkle it again, not indiscriminately, otherwise in this barren mountain and wilderness, you won't know who you brought back. β
An Xin also told An Xiangyu to listen clearly and do so, and not to mess around, this time An Xiangyu still honestly agreed.
In the end, Ma Chao chose the east, An Xin chose the south, An Xiangyu chose the west, and Liu Ya had no choice, only the north, Liu Ya was still not at ease and instructed: "His soul and soul will not be too far away from his body, if you haven't seen his soul and soul after walking out of Wulidi, it proves that he is not in that direction, you have to return the same way immediately, and you can't delay on the road." β
An Xiangyu innocently asked why, Ma Chao said angrily: "Because after walking out of Wulidi, it will be a mass grave, you will be sprayed with cow tears by him, and if you go down, you will see many things that you have not seen before, and it is guaranteed to be colorful." β
An Xiangyu was startled, and hurriedly asked, "Where is it five miles away, and what do I rely on to judge?" β
After Liu Ya pondered for a moment, he took out a special extra-long incense stick from his treasure bag, handed one to everyone and said, "When we set off, light the incense, and when the incense is finished, it will be about five miles, and then you can go back." β
Finally ready, the four of them made all preparations to embark on this unknown journey, at this time An Xiangyu raised his hand again, and Liu Ya said impatiently: "Do you want to gan again?" β
An Xiangyu Zhenzhen said: "I only have one last question now, we don't know what the name of this person is, how to call it?" β
