Ancient Xiangxi, here are people often mention the witchcraft of the trick, the corpse spell, but I Lin Yi disagreed, I was a tour guide in those years, traveled north and south, saw all kinds of strange things, and later I became a blogger who told supernatural stories, horror and thriller, suspense and brain-burning, feng shui strange door, chat about the strange, and listen to me tell you about it......

My name is Lin Yi, I am a blogger who tells supernatural stories, and I am also a tour guide, I was born in Xiangxi, grew up in Xiangxi, grew up in the story of mountain spirits and ghosts, not to mention that I myself have a yin character, I can strongly perceive it since I was a child, and occasionally meet those "things" in a narrow way. Later, he worked as a tour guide for more than ten years, and also encountered various exotic "situations" all over the world.

Some people say, I envy you, isn't it exciting. Timid as a mouse, I don't want this kind of envy and excitement at all, even if I encounter countless times and encounter too terrible situations, I will still be scared and soft like noodles.

First of all, many people know that I am from Xiangxi, and they will ask, ah, then will you release Gu, is it true to drive out corpses? In fact, it's true, there are people in our family who can release Gu, and I have also witnessed with my own eyes that my father was Gu by others when he was young. It is said that in the old society, there were more people in the village who would release Gu, and when the Japanese army invaded China, we killed a lot of Japanese people by releasing Gu.

Some Gu will not kill immediately, but people who are in Gu will become more and more sluggish, with yellow faces and thin muscles, go to the hospital for examination, Western medicine will only check that the organ function is weakening and aging, and the person will be gone in two to three years. Now that society has progressed, there are fewer and fewer older generations who can release Gu.

I haven't seen the corpse chase, but when I was a child, I heard my grandmother who was born in the Qing Dynasty and my grandparents who were born in the 20s say that if there was a corpse driving around the village, the chief (equivalent to the current village head) would notify everyone to close the door early and take care of the family's livestock, especially chickens, ducks and dogs. Then, while the sun was still in the sky, the families closed their gates and closed their livestock, and did not dare to come out. The wife said that sometimes at night she would even hear the rattle of the Taoist priest, as well as the loud reminder of the living avoiding and the dead returning to their hometown.

I have been a tour guide for many years, and I have basically been to every province in China, and I have also been to dozens of countries and regions abroad. Among them, there are countless mysterious places, the most typical in China are Tibet, Yunnan, Hunan and Xiangxi, and the minority cultures in these areas are particularly mysterious.

In my hometown of Xiangxi, witchcraft and Zhu Youshu are still very popular, worshipping ancient wells, ancient trees, ancient stones, and believing in animism. I grew up in this environment, which also caused me to have a sense of reverence for everything. The more mysterious ones abroad are Southeast Asia, especially Thailand. The vicinity of Mount Fuji in Japan is also quite confusing, and my colleagues and I often get caught there. Too many, too much, and so on.

Today I would like to talk about an incident that happened in our village.

Our village is a small mountain village in Xiangxi with beautiful mountains and clear waters, surrounded by mountains, a crooked river in front of the village, the entrance of the village is surrounded by dozens of towering ancient trees that are hundreds of years old, and there are wind and rain bridge land temples, about fifty or sixty households in the village, calm and peaceful, and have their own belief in the god of worship for many years - Shilang God.

It is said that he used to be a robber, and he got the opportunity to become an immortal, and later he formed a fate with the ancestors of our village, and has always blessed the peace of the party, which is probably the reason why our people in Xiangxi are strong, and even the god of faith can be born as a robber. Every three years, the whole village pools money and asks the master to hold a witch ceremony, called Qing Bodhisattva, which is similar to a ritual, so that the gods can get incense and our gratitude.

(Our Village)

Seven years ago, when my children were about 2 years old, I took them back to their hometown during the Chinese New Year, when two young adults under the age of 50 passed away in the village, only two days before and after. Within half a year before that, two elderly people had passed away in the village. This situation is not normal, after all, in the past, in the village, there were one or two old people who died in a year or two.

The people in the village were terrified, and every family went out to help with the white work, and the whole village fell into a panic, because the old people in our village recalled the exact same situation that happened in the Republic of China decades ago. During the Republic of China, there was a year when people died one after another in the village, and more than a dozen died within half a year. Later, I went to the guidance of the god and the goddess (our local name for people who know how to see things and know witchcraft) to get peace.

(Our village is holding a Bodhisattva celebration ceremony)

When I got home, I really noticed that something was wrong. A normal rooster generally crows twice at night, once at about 3 o'clock, and again at five or six o'clock when it is almost dawn, and the voice is clear and spirited. And during that time, around 11:30 to 12 o'clock in the evening, the roosters in the village began to crow violently, one after another. Every hour or so it started to chirp again, mixed with screams like they were about to be killed.

The dogs in the whole village also began to bark, the dogs barked earlier, the people in the village went to bed early at night, basically after the lights in the village were extinguished, the dogs began to bark at about half past 10 o'clock, endlessly, people who have raised dogs know that the dog barking can also hear the emotion, there is fear, excitement, shock. At that time, the barking of dogs was the kind of strong outside, scared barking, and even a few dog crying.

I don't know if I've heard a dog crying, it's a bit similar to the sound of a person crying, and it's especially creepy at night. There are also all kinds of bird calls on the ancient trees at the entrance of the village, and the whole village is like a symphony, one after another, which lasts for half a year.

The people in the village felt that it would not work like this, so the village chief took a few more quick people to find several goddesses and masters to see. The conclusion is the same, the dragon veins in the mountains behind our village have been dug up, and there are powerful ghosts running out, making waves in the village, and only 6 people will die, and our Shiro God, the god is not strong, and the original god is no longer peaceful in this town.

Later, everyone found out that there was a lack of morality in the village, who violated the rules of the village since ancient times, and secretly used an excavator to dig up the soil in the back mountain to do business. This immoral person usually does not live well, and his children and grandchildren and family are also not happy. At this point, everyone in the village was in danger, so they hurriedly pooled money in unprecedented unity and invited the master to come back to do the work. People who can't come back from working outside are also very active in contributing money, and asking people to open the door to cooperate.

After the day of the good practice, those who came to the village to visit relatives and do errands were "scared" away by the master early that day. Shigong said that that night, the ghosts would definitely be rushed around, and they would find a substitute if they were angry. Although I have been frightened since I was a child, I am a cheap person, and I am always suspicious until the next time I am scared. So at that time, I felt that my master was just playing tricks, but I was deeply slapped in the face by what happened later.

In the afternoon of the same day, several masters drew super complicated and cumbersome patterns in the hall house (we are all Miao people in the local area, and the hall house is a place to worship the ancestors of heaven and earth), and guided us to put wine, glutinous rice, incense, candles, paper money, etc. The specific amount of wine, the number of several paper money, and the order of placement are strictly particular.

Each family sent a few young adults, distributed gongs, drums, and sticks, and as soon as it was dark, they started from the highest house in the village under the leadership of Shigong to drive away evil spirits. The teachers sang and sang all the way, and every time they arrived at a house, the young men began to drive away, and the teachers were dazzled by the operation, and finally the family set off firecrackers and burned paper money, which meant that the evil spirits were driven away. Finally, they gathered at the Fengyuqiao Land Temple at the entrance of the village, and carried out a ceremony for nearly 2 hours.

(At that time, the master made the pattern, and the grandmother was placing things, and the placement of the things inside could not be wrong at all)

Finally, by the river, a bamboo basket was used to hold a big rooster covered with incense, candles, and paper money, with no stray hair on its snow-white body, only a red cockscomb, and put it into the water to let the ghost lean over and flow away with the water. It turned out that everything went well, and at the last step, something happened, and the big rooster was alive and kicking, but before he was finally ready to enter the water, he died quietly.

At that time, the village chief was so anxious that he turned around and asked what was going on, and the older master also said solemnly that since he had been learning art, he had met it for the first time in decades, and he had only heard about it before, which meant that this ghost was unwillingly driven away and refused to let go, or he had to make waves even if he was sent away.

There was a small episode that night, an old man from a neighboring village, a man about 80 years old, suddenly appeared when the exorcism activities in our village were in full swing. No one knows when he came, but the neighboring village is about 1 kilometer away, with wide and flat cement roads and field paths. As soon as he appeared, he complained: Your village is really not interesting enough, such a lively Qing Bodhisattva did not notify our village to come and walk around.

Everyone told him that he was not a Qing Bodhisattva, but a practical thing, and asked him to go back quickly, but he didn't do it, and he couldn't explain it clearly. So the old man happily followed everyone to roast the fire and eat a meal in the middle of the night (the custom of eating a meal in the middle of the night after doing the rituals). After everything was over, at about half past one in the morning, the village chief asked the villagers to ride a motorcycle to send the old man home, but he insisted on refusing and wanted to walk home by himself, so he had to send him to the entrance of the village, and a cement road went directly to the kind of road where there was no fork in his house. Watching him go away, the talent who sent him home went home.

The next day, the old man's children came to the door and said that the old man did not go back. The children of the elderly are also reasonable and continue to add more people to search. At the beginning of the first two or three days, everyone was not very anxious, thinking that the old man was old and went to play at an old friend's house.

Later, everyone became more and more anxious, and the whole village went out to search for the hounds all over the mountain, and on the eleventh day, the body was found not far from the river where the rooster had entered the water that night, face down, half of his body in the water. Maybe at this point, you think that the old man should be old and confused and go the wrong way. But the place where the body was found, and the road from which it had left that night, were completely opposite directions, and the distance was very long, with large terraced fields in the middle, and a ridged path that was difficult to walk.

On the third day after the old man's body was found, I got up at about 12 o'clock in the evening to nurse the child, and suddenly the child cried, the kind of frightened crying, and the dog downstairs suddenly screamed violently, and then the dogs in the vicinity all barked violently.

There were no curtains in the living room of the old house in the country, and I felt a chill on my back, and the hair on the back of my head was hairy, and I felt that someone was staring at me outside the window, and I knew that something was wrong, and there was something nearby, and my problem was that every time I encountered those things, I was very sensitive.

The next day, one of my clan uncles was "recruited". This uncle has always been in poor health, he is sick all the year round, and he is often put on the body, he is also my father (that is, the meaning of godfather), it can be said that our father and daughter are also "difficult brothers" in this regard. He chatted with people well, and suddenly fell on his back, and after everyone woke him up, his demeanor and voice had completely changed to that old man.

"He" was very unwilling and angry and said: I died too unjustly, I died for the people of your village. I could have been immortal, but that night there was a fog as I walked, and I walked to the water's edge and was pushed into the water. A bold man asked him, "What do you want us to do?"

Qi Ye made the old man's voice again: I want the people in your village to go to the temple for me to do a ritual to surpass me, and I will burn paper money for seven days. Everyone discussed and agreed, and when everyone discussed, Qi Ye's throat let out a terrible snoring sound that was usually not at all, and it looked like he was not lightly angered. Soon after agreeing, Qi Ye recovered, as if he was awake from a big dream, and he didn't know what he said or did at all. (Our village dances the mask of the witch, and the witch show is all changed into ancient costumes and masks)

After our village did the Fa, the village gradually returned to normal, and there were no more chickens and dogs, and no more people died. Later, I asked my master to come and see it again, saying that this old man was indeed taken away by a ghost, so he was unwilling. The people in our village sighed, and the time was also fate, this old man appeared in our village inexplicably in the eyes of the exorcism, and when he went back, he suddenly lost his temper and refused to send us off, and in the dark providence made people.

This old man has several sons, and when he was young, he was full of poisons, and he was not kind, beating his wife, clashing with others, and harming his neighbors. When you are old, your body is obviously healthy, and your ears and eyes are clear, but you are all kinds of things. Torture children, scolding people everywhere with crutches and touching porcelain, several villages within a radius are famous. So we also feel in private that why it is him, not someone else, is that his selfish virtue is at fault, and karma is just a matter of karma. Therefore, to be a person and do things, we must still be kind and compassionate and accumulate blessings for ourselves.

After I lost my job at the beginning of the epidemic, I squatted in my hometown in Xiangxi, often went to the goddess to work as a little assistant, and saw many strange things: because the feng shui of the house was not good, the whole family died; There are ancestors who do not accumulate virtue and whose descendants suffer, and even have no children; There are also those who come to reincarnate with memories of their previous lives, and they go back to find their parents in their previous lives; and those who change their lives because of good deeds; There are even more people who do not repay their debts before their deaths and rely on their dreams to become cattle to pay off their debts; It also witnessed the magic of Miao witchcraft and Zhu Youshu; All this makes me more in awe of the gods of heaven and earth.

[Everyone in the world is curious, whether Xiangxi really has the art of witchcraft to drive away corpses, and there really is a technique of witchcraft in the world,]
