Brother Zhang said that it was a thin-necked porcelain bottle as high as a palm, with white porcelain depictions, in the center of the bottle, and four dragon carved handles, which looked like they didn't know what to do.

At this time, the old grandmother said, you go to the garbage by the firewood pile at the back to find how much, and bring it to the little master to see. I said no, I'll go with you and find it. So the old lady continued to sit on the threshold and rub the corduroy, and I followed Brother Zhang around to the back of the house. Began to rummage through the garbage heap next to the pyre.

This garbage pile doesn't smell bad, it's not big, it's just some broken debris, usual household garbage, leftovers or something, Brother Zhang, they are all directly poured into the farmland as fertilizer. So soon, we found the broken porcelain bottle in the garbage. I picked up as many pieces as I could, and slowly tried to put them together, the more I put them together, the more surprised I became, and at the same time, I finally understood why the family suddenly encountered "heavenly evil".

It is a vase-like bottle, similar to the one that Guanyin holds in his hand. The difference is that the thin part of the bottle and the belly part are welded with four dragon carvings, with the dragon head facing up and the dragon tail facing down, making it look like a bottle has four handles that can be grasped by hand. On the white porcelain bottle, there is a blue painting, and the content of the pattern is the water of waves. If the bottle hadn't been broken, it would have looked like four dragons leaping out of the water. The mouth of the bottle is sealed, and a layer of paraffin wax is plugged, and the seams are polished, which means that the bottle has no mouth when viewed alone. In fact, he opened his mouth again, but it was blocked.

This is well proven, because the bottle is broken and there is room for the inner tank. So I said to Brother Zhang, big brother, do you know what you used the bottle you took home to sell for money? He shook his head blankly and said he didn't know. I said, this is a soul bottle that is buried with the dead.

In ancient times, many people of status and status would visit nine bottles in the coffin when they were buried, which contained the three souls of the dead and six of them. Maybe you have to ask, isn't it three souls and seven spirits, why are there only six souls here? In metaphysics, the soul is separated, and when a person dies as a ghost, the ghost is composed purely of the soul, so the soul has to leave, sooner or later, and the soul has to leave the same, but the place where he walks is different from the soul. The rest of the soul is within the corpse itself. And the bottle with three souls and six spirits around it is called a soul bottle. There are nine in total, and the soul bottles in many places will be carved with nine dragons on them, and the nine bottles represent the protection of nine dragons. The reason why the bottle is sealed is the soul, and I bet that on the bottle in front of me, there should have been a seal similar to a charm when it was buried back then. It's just that it may gradually become corrupted over time.

I asked Brother Zhang, what you just said was that this bottle was placed on your mother's bedside cabinet, right? He said yes, put it with that pendulum clock, my mother loves this bottle. I thought to myself, too, that ignorance is to blame. After doing it for a long time, it was because the old grandmother accidentally broke the soul bottle, and the blind soul or spirit here, after breaking out of the shell, quickly gathered the surrounding grievances and caused peace, and became a "heavenly evil", and this guy who was buried deep in the soil and hungry for hundreds of years, when he had a form, the first thing he did was to eat like crazy. In this way, the mother and son become its food.

I told Brother Zhang my opinion, and he looked a little anxious, pacing and stomping his feet. I told him that it wasn't that hard, that it would be fine as long as he put a door god on the door of the house, and I would clean the house for you. This kind of ghost is instinctive survival, and although it is very harmful, it is not difficult to control. In the future, if you get something from outside that is not of unknown origin, it is best to offer it to purify it and then put it at home. Especially the things that are made up by ground rats are the most likely to get into these things.

The so-called "ground mouse" is the name of tomb robbers in Sichuan, which is a very immoral profession.

Maybe it's because I said it quite easily, and Brother Zhang gradually felt a lot more relieved. So I'm going to take a bunch of soul bottle dregs from the ground, and I'll use them later when I do the purification rituals. Looking at the sky, it was almost noon, and maybe I could have a meal in the family's house. In this way, I will go back to the village with Captain Li in the afternoon, and I should be there in the evening.

There are a lot of fragments, and I still can't take it alone. So I asked Brother Zhang to help me get it together, he walked in front, and I followed behind. We were originally at the back of the house, which meant that if we wanted to go around the front of the house, we had to go through at least two corners of the wall. Just around the second corner, I turned around and reached the door of the hall, when I heard a bang, which I knew was the sound of the porcelain piece in Brother Zhang's hand falling to the ground. I was about to blame him for being so careless and not walking well when I suddenly heard his anxious shout.

"Mother! Mother! What's wrong with you, mother! ”

It seemed that something was wrong with the old grandmother, so I was also a little anxious, and quickly turned the corner, and saw that the old grandmother had straight legs and was still holding corduroy in her hands, but her body was leaning obliquely against the door frame of the threshold, her head was also leaning against the door, and there were beads of sweat on her forehead. The old woman's eyes were half closed, and through the slit in her eyes, I could see her eyes turned up, her mouth slightly open, and her lips still had a feeling of weakness, as if she was saying something, and the amplitude was so small that I couldn't see it without looking closely. And the grandmother's whole head was shaking slightly in the left and right directions.

There was some white saliva hanging on the corner of the old grandmother's mouth, and the whole person looked like she had had a stroke. I was taken aback, so I quickly put down the fragment of the soul bottle in my hand and ran to the grandmother's side.

Brother Zhang shook at the grandmother for a long time, but the grandmother still showed no signs of waking up, so she looked at me anxiously. I reached out and held the upper body of the old woman so that her head was lying in the crook of my left arm, and I stretched out the index finger and thumb of my right hand, spread it as wide as possible, and pressed the thumb against the middle of the grandmother's person, and the index finger pressed the center of the old woman's eyebrows. These two acupuncture points are actually able to restore people's consciousness. While kneading, I muttered in my mouth:

"Burn money and burn the rivers and lakes. Millilight found that the sky opened. The Soul Collector descends the Golden Rank. The immortal soldiers will descend into the clouds. Haste as a law! Haste as a law! Haste as a law! ”

This mantra is one of the passages of the "Golden Body Breaking Mantra", and I recite it purely because it is relatively short, so that it is convenient to recite it in a short time. Ghosts haunting innocent people are usually not well understood, so this spell is relatively simple, but it is repeated three times to use "haste as a law". It is used to accentuate the tone, so that the ghost who hears this spell knows the determination to drive it away.

At the same time, every time I recited "Hurry as a Command", I reached out and lifted my grandmother's jaw slightly, asking her to make a "knock" movement.

This is a very useful technique for situations where you don't know why, but you are fascinated. Human hearing is often from the outside in, that is, when you speak in my ear, the sound needs to be transmitted through the air and the ear canal in order for me to be heard.

"Knocking" is different, it can transmit the sound of teeth colliding directly to the brain from the inside. Teeth are also the most sensitive of bone sound. Under the urging of the incantation, combined with the action of percussion, as long as the soul is still in the body and is fascinated in the initial state, it is easy to wake up.

Sure enough, after three knocks, the old woman woke up and turned around, looking at me with a somewhat sluggish look. Since she fell in the crook of my arm, I also wanted her to understand that I was saving her and not think otherwise.

She looked at me a little confused, and then asked me, what happened to me just now? Before I could answer him, Brother Zhang hurriedly said, Mother, you fainted just now. Fortunately, this little master woke you up. I asked my grandmother, "How did you faint just now, and how much can you remember now?"

The old lady pondered for a while and said, I don't remember the specifics, but I was rubbing the corduroy well, and suddenly I felt that it was dark in front of me, and then many people appeared in front of me, just like before. No matter how I opened my eyes, I couldn't help it. Then, I heard three sounds, and my body suddenly relaxed, and I woke up.

After calculating the time, in fact, it only took seven or eight minutes for me and Brother Zhang to go around the back of the house, that is to say, it is very likely that our grandmother encountered this situation as soon as we walked on the front foot. This also means that this "heavenly evil" only violated the grandmother after seeing us leave. Could it be that when Brother Zhang and I were fiddling with the soul bottle, we inspired this guy again? Because before today, whether it was grandma or Brother Zhang, they would only meet it at night when they were sleeping, and it was noon, and the yang energy was booming, why did they encounter it at this time.

At this moment, there is no need to use the water method, I already know the ins and outs of the matter, I originally planned to end this matter quickly, but at this moment, it seems that this "heavenly evil" is not hiding because of my arrival, but has some provocation in person.

So I snorted coldly in my heart, put my bag down, took out the bell and incense, and began to summon my soldiers and horses. Only this time, my soldiers and horses are no longer there to help me find the root, but to help me dispel this ghost!
