Master once taught me that the temperature behind a person's ears and between the cracks of the head should be the same as the temperature of a person's forehead. And if you touch the back of the ear a little closely, you can feel the person's pulse. As the saying goes, there are nine doctors out of ten, and our medicine has four diagnoses, so some basic skills for judging vital signs, Master has been teaching me since the beginning. And right now, this little girl is very hot behind the root of her ear, and her pulse rate is chaotic, and it is relatively fast. What really surprised me is that generally speaking, people's breathing and pulse rhythm are related, people with fast heartbeats will breathe relatively fast, but this little girl's heartbeat is very fast, and the breathing is very long, so long that it is not like the breathing speed that a child of this age should have.

At this time, I realized what Master meant when he told me the other day that this child was frightened, but it was not just frightened.

Mr. Li's lover told me that in recent days, the child's crying has begun to be day and night, and the schedule is also a mess, and there is no pattern to follow. When I went to the doctor, I said that the child had an ordinary seasonal fever, and the injections and medicines did not work. I asked her if there was anything unusual about the child's mental condition. Mr. Li's lover said that he had just become very sensitive, clingy, and always listless, and his mood must be very bad, but in terms of body, except for fever and crying, there was no other abnormality for the time being.

I took a closer look at the child's facial features, it was a very cute little girl, but perhaps because of the long fuss, the child still looked very haggard. The lips are a little chapped, and there is a little red rash at the corner of the mouth, which is caused by lack of nutrition, and it can be seen that the child has not eaten much during this time. The little girl had very severe bruising on her lower eyelids, usually caused by lack of rest, as confirmed by her parents. But the little girl's eyes were tightly closed, but the eyelids trembled with the trembling of the body, and through the eyelids, you could vaguely see the eyes inside turning from time to time. The trembling of the child's body may be due to the fever and chills, or it is possible that she is having a nightmare at the moment, although she seems to be asleep now, but it should only be a state that has just fallen asleep, maybe any unfamiliar sound may cause her to wake up, and then start hysterical.

I gently reached out and examined the child's eyes, and the lower eyelids were dark red, slightly darker than normal, and the upper eyelids were white. I began to hesitate and worry a little, because if the child's upper eyelid is the only part of the skin on the eye that can move with consciousness, the more white it is, the more unsmooth the blood veins, and such a person always has the desire to close his eyes and doze off. The degree of whitishness directly determines the condition and how long it lasts.

Judging from the little girl's eyelids, this whiteness is a little terrifying. And his father said that she started to have this situation during the Chinese New Year, and it seems to me that it will be at least earlier.

We exited the little girl's room, and I told the couple what I had seen here, and I confessed that I didn't know what caused it, but the child's condition and apparently more than just frightened, she was probably corrupted by evil spirits.

In the Chinese theory of yin and yang and the five elements, any illness is caused by evil qi, so there is an exorcism and righteousness, and the balance of yin and yang in this is artificially adjusted to achieve the effect of curing diseases. In most cases, there will be a significant improvement after treatment, but before I came, the family had taken the child to see a doctor, but it never improved, which had to make me consider this question from another angle, whether the child had hit an evil spirit, because Mr. Li's initial description mentioned that the child woke up at night, screamed and pointed to the wardrobe and said that she was afraid, what was she afraid of, did she see something?

All speculation is just speculation, and the child is still too young to know how to express himself, so I can only use occult magic to answer. I asked Mr. Li to tell me the child's birth time, name, etc., simply in the palm of the left hand lined up a nine-square grid hexagram, after the hexagram fell, stopped at the exchange of seven, two hexagrams, this hexagram belongs to gold, and the main family girl, there is a white tiger in the palace fell at the door of death, according to the meaning of this hexagram, the child is a fierce and auspicious situation, if this situation continues to drag on, if lucky, after the autumn equinox solar terms of this year, the child is likely to get better, but the greater possibility is that the child can not be dragged at that time, will be dragged crazy, or dragged to death.

I didn't dare to tell Mr. Li and his wife the conclusion of the hexagram directly, I found that if I said it, the two of them would definitely be frightened, I came to solve the problem, not to add to the blockage, even if I wanted to say it, I would wait until this matter passed. So I took the bowl out of my bag, poured water and boiled the talisman, and began to ask questions. But from the development, I saw that the rune paper ash became long and thin, looking like a snake and a rope.

Seeing the development of my water method, the couple was a little surprised. I asked them if they had ever encountered a snake or a long rope or anything like that in the days before and after this happened to the child, and you could think of it. My water method is not as advanced as Master's, and I can only further elaborate on the basis of the clues in the development, and Master is said to have a relatively high level of cultivation in the Yuanguang Technique, and he can directly see the words from the development, which makes his analysis of the clues more specific and accurate. The couple thought about it and said, where did the snake come from in this winter. The rope child used to play with it, and she bought her a jump rope, and she sometimes played with the ball of yarn that her mother used to knit a sweater. But that hand is just a game, and the child also has a lot of tricks to play with, not just the rope.

At this time, Mr. Li's lover suddenly said, could it be the relationship between watching the dragon dance with the child at that time, you look at the one that is often in the bowl, could it be a dragon?

As a person who learns the Tao, I believe in the existence of dragons, and we regard every mountain and river as the vein of a giant dragon, so as to judge the good fortune of a place. But at the moment she said that there was a dragon in the bowl, but I didn't think so, first of all, there were no dragon claws, not a single one, and secondly, I had never heard of anyone being frightened by watching the dragon and lion dance. The most important thing is that my skills are limited, and I am not yet sophisticated enough to see dragons directly in the development.

I told Mr. Li's lover that this was unlikely, and that the child's current state, although he was not in good spirits, was not insane. So what she saw was probably what scared her the most. I paused and said, this child slept until the middle of the night and woke up, pointed to the wardrobe and said that he was afraid, please take the liberty of asking, did you open the wardrobe and check it at that time? Mr. Li said that he turned on the light to check at that time, in order to coax his daughter to let her not be afraid, there was nothing in the wardrobe except clothes, but after he opened the wardrobe door, the child kicked his legs frantically, covered his eyes, screamed and cried.

I interrupted him and asked, why do children cover their eyes? Mr. Li and his lover looked at each other and replied to me because she said she was afraid. I thought about it and suddenly thought of something, so I asked Mr. Li, do you have any long, rope-like things in your closet? Mr. Li thought about it and said yes, the military belt he used to be a soldier was hanging inside. But that thing has been hanging there for a long time, and I have seen it, and I have never been afraid, so how can I be afraid now? Little master, why don't you go and check it yourself?

I said not to be busy, because I can't be sure what the cause of the child's fright is at the moment, and it is almost certain that the child's condition is not an ordinary fright, and I am more worried at the moment that it is caused by ghosts. If I want to prove it, I can only use the water method to prove it. So I took out seven grains of rice, threw them into the bowl, and started asking questions, probably saying that if the thing was caused by a ghost, sink four, float three, sink four and then float again. If it's for other reasons, it's all sinking.

After a few seconds, four of the rice in the bowl sank and three floated. This is only the first step, as it could also be a coincidence. Immediately after that, a sinking rice staggered and floated up again, and the probability of this was very small, so there was no doubt that this was a ghost thing.
