Trick 16 "Possessed"
People say that the three souls and seven spirits, the three souls are: the light of the heavenly fetus, the five elements of the cool spirit, the earth spirit, the seven spirits are: the happy corpse dog, the angry arrow, the mourning bird yin, the fear of swallowing the thief, the love is not poisonous, the evil is defiled, and the lungs are smelly.
The three souls are commonly known as the three souls of heaven, destiny, and earth, and they are generally damaged by evil or possessed, and they are basically slight, and a master who has a bit of Taoism can handle it.
When I was young, I was tricked once, how can I express my feelings, as if I am not me, but I can know what I am doing, what I am going through, but when people talk to me, I can't say anything, like a dumb person. I can also clearly see that I can't say what I hear, just like the elder brother in Journey to the West looking at his own body out of his body.
As I told in the previous story, I have been naughty since I was a child, where to drill in the middle of nowhere, every time I go out to play, I will lose track of time, and then eat a meal of fried shredded pork with bamboo shoots. Once I went out to play with an older child in the village as usual, his name was Xiaojin, and he was 3 years older than me, and every time we played, we liked to pick up small stones of the same size and color on the ground, and then draw houses and castles on the ground, and put different stones in different camps, and make up one attack and defense battle after another. Every time I have a lot of fun, it's like I really manipulated and witnessed a big battle, which indirectly contributes to my habit of wanting to pick up stones when I see them.
Because we need to pick up different stones, we are wandering around the whole village every time, and the small stones on the side of the road have been almost consumed by us, so we can only pick up small clods of soil, but they are very unsturdy, Xiaojin scratches his head and looks around.
"Hmm... By the way, I'll go to the grove behind my house to have a look~"
I said to Xiao Jin, and without waiting for him to answer, I ran to the grove, and the grove behind my house was planted with a poplar tree, about the size of three basketball courts, rectangular, one side was behind my house, and on the other side there was a large grave. It is said that it is an old man of my grandmother's generation, and it is a bit of a family anyway, but this tomb is the only one in the village that is built between houses. There were people living around the grave, that is, around the grove, and everyone was a little related. At that time, there were no adults with me during the day, and I never dared to come alone, even though I knew that it was the elders of the family who were buried, but I was still afraid.
I first stood at the edge of the grove, leaned against the wall of my house and looked into the woods, and saw that the grave was hidden in it, and although it was sunny in broad daylight, it looked gloomy in the shade of a large poplar tree more than ten meters high. There are also a lot of weeds in it, and annoying plants such as sloppy seedlings and lazy hairs abound, either giving you a cut in your arms and legs, or sticking all over your body. Children are playful and scared for a while, and I was quickly attracted by the small stones in the grass, and before I knew it, I was bored and looked for it.
I can't remember how long I looked for it, but I thought there were a lot of small rocks in the grove, and I didn't stop until I realized that I was on the edge of the grave. I looked around, and the trees around me were chaotic, but the sun's light was still shining in, so I wasn't so afraid. Suddenly, a colored stone on the side of the mound caught my eye, I walked over in two steps, bent down to pick it up, held it in the palm of my hand and looked at it carefully, I couldn't help but laugh out loud, and then I looked down again...
"What are you doing?"
A sudden voice came, and I saw my mother walking towards me angrily with a stick, and I had already run away before, but I didn't know what was going on, so I stood there and didn't make a sound.
"What are you looking for around the grave? What time is it, I can't find you everywhere, Xiaojin has already gone home! ”
My mother didn't notice my abnormality, walked closer, grabbed me by the ear, and dragged me home. Maybe my mother was really angry, and she didn't realize that I didn't beg for mercy and resist, and she didn't even make a sound, so she was pulled by her ears.
To be honest, I didn't feel any pain or anything at the time, it was like I was a bystander. I don't know when or when I got it, but I didn't feel it at all, and it became like this.
My mother took me home and scolded me and told me to wash my hands and eat. I still stood still, probably sensing my unusual reaction this time, and my mother immediately came over and looked at me, then frowned, and put the back of her hand on my forehead.
"Huh? Why is this kid so hot! ”
My mother was surprised, and then asked my sister to stay at home, and took me straight to the village health center.
When I arrived at the health center, an old doctor first asked me to take my temperature, and after 5 minutes, the old doctor picked up the thermometer and shook it to look at it carefully, and then shook it again and looked at it carefully.
"This kid has a normal body temperature and doesn't have a fever."
The old doctor said suspiciously.
"You see his forehead is hot, he doesn't look like he doesn't have a fever."
Mom asked anxiously.
The old doctor raised his hand and touched my forehead, his furrowed eyebrows still hadn't opened, he opened the drawer and took another thermometer and put it under my armpit. After a while, he picked it up again and looked at it carefully.
"It's still normal, no, I'll prescribe you some cold powder first, go back and eat, and if it's still like this tomorrow, I'll go to the hospital in the town to have a look."
It was already dark, and my mother had to take me home with the medicine until I drank the cold powder and went to sleep. During this time, I seemed to be watching everything coldly, with no mood swings, no touch, no sound.
The next day, as soon as I opened my eyes, I saw my grandmother sitting on the edge of the bed, staring at me.
"This kid is probably scared, and I don't think he has a fever."
"Last night, when I fell asleep, I dreamed that his uncle's mother was behind me, and I stood at the gate with a cane."
My mother replied to my grandmother's words and pulled the blanket for me.
"Wait a little later, I'll take the child to Qiaotou to his second master's house to have a look, his second master just took a good look at a person in the neighboring village some time ago."
Grandma got up and went out and talked to my mother at the same time, and I didn't hear the rest clearly, and fell asleep again in a daze.
As soon as it was dark, I was woken up by my mother, and when I got up and got out of bed, my grandmother grabbed me by the arm and walked out quickly. As if I was afraid that something would run away in the dark, I walked very fast along the way, and I felt like a walking corpse, and I followed my grandmother forward. After crossing the village bridge and turning a few more alleys, my grandmother pulled me straight to a red-painted gate.
"His second master, his second master, I am the eldest sister in the back, open the door."
Soon I heard the sound of walking in the door, and the door was opened by an old man under 60 years old, very tall, with all white hair, and after his grandmother greeted him, he went into the house.
"Second master, you can take a look, this kid may be scared, and that's it after he went to the forest where his grandmother was buried yesterday afternoon."
Grandma didn't wait to enter the house, so she said anxiously, and pushed me in front of the second master.
"Is it~ I'll take a look."
The second master replied calmly, looked down at me, and reached out to touch my forehead. Then I grabbed my arm and came to another room next to the hall, and my grandmother followed closely step by step, and the first thing that caught my eye when I entered the room was a portrait of Taishang Laojun, two mahogany couches on both sides, and a table of eight immortals under the portrait, and a small incense burner burning incense on the table, two cabinets on both sides, and no other furnishings in the whole room.
Grandma was stopped at the door by the second master, let me sit on the sofa on the left, then turned around and took out three sticks of incense from the cabinet, lit it and circled it clockwise three times on my head, and then bowed three times in the direction of the incense burner, and inserted the incense in the incense burner. Turning to look at me without saying a word, the second master got up and went out after observing for a while, and told me to stay and not move for a while, and then called my grandmother to the hall.
I didn't hear the results and treatments, and I waited for 20 minutes before my grandmother came and took me away. As soon as I got home, my mother came up to inquire about the results, and my grandmother first asked me to sit in the back room, and then talked to my mother in the yard, and before they could make the next move, I fell asleep again in a daze.
Soon, I was woken up again, looked up at the clock, and at 10:35, my grandmother told me to get up and follow her, so I got up and got out of bed and walked forward, and I vaguely heard what my grandmother was talking about, and I listened carefully.
"He is too milky, the child is ignorant and disturbs you, they are all in the neighborhood, burn some money to honor you, and buy whatever you want~"
…
I followed my grandmother to the door of the hall, and saw a blue and white porcelain bowl in the middle of the door, containing half a bowl of water and three soybeans.
"Step over the bowl and continue following me."
Grandma looked back a little and said to me.
I still didn't speak, but my body did as I was obedient, and after stepping over the water bowl, I continued to follow my grandmother. We walked past the courtyard, walked past the gate, circled the door three times, and then returned to the bed in the back room.
"Lie down on the bed and lie flat."
Grandma pointed to the bed and motioned for me to hurry up, but I hesitated for a moment, and after seeing my grandmother's eyes again, I obediently went to bed. After lying down as instructed, my grandmother brought out another bowl of water, sprinkled it on me with a little dip in her hand, and took out a leafy willow branch and gently whipped it on me, muttering what she had just said. I didn't feel anything at first, but then it started to hurt more and more, and the beating lasted for 5 minutes in my memory, and then I was unconscious.
When I woke up in the morning, I was hungry, and my mother made me a bowl of noodles with two eggs, and I quickly ate them. It felt like I had been hungry for days, and when I was alive again, my mother's brow gradually relaxed.
On the night of my recruitment, my mother dreamed of my grandmother in the grave behind the house, and the grandmother in the dream stood at the gate of my house, without speaking or leaving, until my mother woke up. After seeing my symptoms, the second master concluded that he was possessed by a ghost, but he was not a wandering ghost, and he could just burn some paper money after a little exorcism. So I told my grandmother to open all the doors of the house after 10:30 p.m., put half a bowl of water and three soybeans in the water under the door of the main hall, and then one person in front of me led the way and shouted, I followed, went out and went around three times and came back, and then beat it with a willow stick. After that, I burned some paper money in front of my bed, in front of the hall, and at the gate, and waited until 12 o'clock and burned the paper money again.
Later, my grandmother's grave was moved behind my house, and the process of summoning my soul was only found out after asking my mother and my grandmother afterwards, which is really amazing! It's completely beyond the scope of my scientific understanding, but like in rural areas, this kind of thing is not uncommon, and it is not a big anecdote to happen. It's something that happened to me when I was a kid, and I still remember it vividly, and it's a wonderful feeling, but it's never good, because no one wants two people in your body.
The world is so big that there are no surprises, and I hope everyone will have a heart of awe.
