Chapter 16 Calling the soul, sending the soul, three fires and no turning back(1/3)

I saw my grandpa telling me what happened this time. Grandpa told me that it was surprisingly smooth. He also taught me some things that need to be paid attention to. I discussed it with grandpa all morning. Grandpa thought he was wrong.

Everyone told me to pay more attention next time. After all, this was the first time I did it by myself, and there were still many shortcomings. While eating, a car stopped at the door, a black Land Rover, and a middle-aged man got out, stumbling.

As he walked into the house, Grandpa Sun knew he was looking for grandpa without stopping him. After saying a few words, he let people in.

"This house is a bit old and quite quaint," said a woman following me.

"Hello, who are you looking for?"

"I'm looking for Master Cheng"

"Oh, there are two Master Chengs, which one are you looking for?"

"two?"

Grandpa jokingly said to this man

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

"Oh, sir, it's like this. My child always has a sister standing by the window at night asking him to play with him. This has happened for several days, and we can't stop him from having a fever during the day. I heard someone said

Come and ask about your situation.”

The woman who followed me told the specific story. One night, she and her child had just finished taking a bath. They were lying on the bed and playing. After a while, the child came to the window and kept looking outside. I asked him

Why? He said he had a sister, so I walked to the bed and looked out, but found nothing. When I turned back to look for the child, I found that the child was gone, but I felt something moving under the bed, so I lay down to look for it.

But before I looked up, I found this child sitting directly on the edge of the bed looking at me, which scared me so much. I was already tired from playing today, so I didn’t think much about coaxing him. But these 3

It has been like this every day. The child had a fever during the day and has not been to school for several days. Until this morning we found that no matter how we screamed, he could not wake up. We went to the hospital and found nothing. We came to see grandpa when we had no choice.

Having a general understanding of the situation,

"Grandson, do you know what the problem is?" Grandpa looked at me and asked

"Well, this is fascinating. You can only tell the situation when you see the child, grandpa."

"Yeah, that's right. Can this gentleman bring the child?"

"Okay, okay, Xiaoli, go to the car and call Feng'er in."

Seeing this boy, I was even more sure that this was a ghost seduced by someone else, so the kid would not wake up no matter how he screamed. As for who seduced him and why, I can only ask. Grandpa told them the situation, Duan

They asked me to do something for them. The two of them were a little hesitant because they were worried that I was too young to handle it. After my grandfather told me my identity, they no longer worried about it and cooperated with me throughout the process. The first thing I wanted to determine was why the child was taken away. I have a general understanding.

The place where they live is relatively remote, it is a single-family villa. I heard that a murder occurred there and a child died. It was basically the fault of the child's ghost. The only way to save the child is to call the ghost first.

There are sayings about summoning souls in various places, and there are roughly the following ones. In the "Calling Souls" chapter in "Chu Ci", it is related to this custom. If babies and children in future generations are frightened and lose their souls, they must summon their souls to stop the fright.

, to bring the soul back, to eliminate diseases and eliminate disasters. The methods vary from place to place. In modern times, it is a custom in Dongguan, Guangdong, to burn a few incense and paper under the eaves, beside the bed or in a frightened place, and swing the children's clothes back and forth over the flames with their hands

Take a kitchen knife or scissors, slap it on the ground, and then scatter the rice grains in all directions, shouting: "Eastern rice grain, western rice grain, southern rice grain, northern rice grain, four big and five square rice grains. Such and such a certain day in a certain month

(Child’s name) is coming back from his childhood! Please invite the Nine Heavens Mysterious Girl to pick up the boy, and bring back the courageous so-and-so!” and so on.

In the Zhujiajiao area of ​​Shanghai, the child's birth date (eight characters) is written on red paper, placed on the stove, a bowl of water is placed on the paper, and incense and candles are lit to kowtow. Then a bucket is taken, covered with baggage, lit and searched for at the foot of the community.

spiders, and shouted "A certain official (the eldest is the senior official, the second is the second official) is back!" until he found two or three spiders, put them in the bucket, held them to the child's pillow, shouted as he walked, and put down the mosquito net

After a few minutes, you can open the tent.

Ghost calling usually occurs when children are frightened and cannot eat, sleep well, and are in panic all day long. Then the parents take the children to find local people who can call ghosts to call ghosts. People who can call ghosts are generally older.

Mainly women. When calling the soul, the person calling the spirit will draw a cross on the ground. The person who has lost the spirit will stand on the cross, and the parents of the person who has lost the spirit will stand aside. The person calling the spirit will first read a sentence in his mouth, and then

One hand is stretched out to the sky as if grabbing something, shouting "XX is back", and then reaching out to the person who has lost his soul, and the parents of the person who has lost his soul respond by saying "I'm here". Repeat this seven times.

On that day, those who lost their souls will be cured.

Soul calling is mostly done at night. One person calls for another person to answer, and the person being called must stay at home. The specific method is: an adult plays the role of the soul caller, and needs to put a piece of the soul-loser on the shoulder.

The first choice is red clothing, and red dates should be placed in the pockets of the clothes. The caller chooses a location, usually not far from home, and first faces the west and calls three times: "So-and-so is back!", and the person who responds replies: "He's back!"

!", called three times, turned around and walked towards home, calling once for each step, and the responder answered immediately. He kept walking until he was in front of the person who lost his soul, and then asked the person to take off the clothes on his shoulders.

He would circle the head of the person who had lost his soul and mutter something, and then take out the red dates from his pocket and let the person who had lost his soul eat them, thus calling the soul back and attaching it to the body of its owner.

Soul-calling is mostly for people who are sick, but on the night of New Year's Eve, most people will call for ghosts, whether they are sick or not, especially parents for their children. The location of soul-calling is also slightly different. Generally, it is the father holding his child on his shoulder.

She holds the door latch with her left hand, her left foot is outside the threshold, and her right foot is inside the threshold. Facing the door, she first calls the child's name three times. Of course, the mother at home must respond each time: "I'm back" and then turn around.

Take one step and call out to the child who is being called. The next ritual is the same as the above. These are folk methods, but Maoshan has its own Maoshan method.

At midnight, I asked them to bring their children to the altar. A red rope was tied to the child's crow, and the other end was tied to a rooster's crow. First, I explored the path to see what happened, and then I opened the door.

"When the soul returns home, the rooster leads the way." I shouted loudly and let the rooster fly out.

This is Maoshan's soul-chasing technique, which uses a red rope as a bridge and a rooster as a lure to chase the child's soul back. Seeing that the lamps and candles in the altar began to flicker, the wind suddenly blew. This was the soul's return, and the door opened on its own.

A little boy stood at the door calling his parents.

"Hurry up and call the child's name and ask him to come back," I shouted anxiously.

"My son, Feng'er, come back soon, my son"

"Son," the couple cried and shouted.

"Mom, Dad, I can't go back. My sister won't let me go and said she wanted me to accompany her." As soon as I finished speaking, the child's body began to twitch and his facial features were a little distorted. Not long after, the child's soul also disappeared into the night. I grabbed the red rope and left.

I pulled him back, but in the end it was all in vain. I ran to the door to chase him.

"Grandson, please stop. If you can't call me back, then leave. This is because you have been seduced. Find another way." After listening to my grandfather's words, I also stopped.

"Master, master, please save me Feng'er. This is our only son. Please save my child."

"Master, please save my child. We, husband and wife, are willing to work together as cows and horses."

Grandpa and I looked back at them at the same time. Since we couldn't call them back, we had to be polite first and then fight. We had to do something tough.

"There is only one way. You go to the ruined temple outside the village, cover the face of the Buddha statue with a yellow cloth, light a candle in the southeast corner, place an incense burner and light a black incense on it. When the candle goes out

When your child’s spirit arrives, call the child’s name immediately and leave the rest alone.”

"Good master, let's go today"

"Well, you go to the east room to rest first. You can go there in the evening."

When the three of us returned to the house, I asked my grandpa whether it was because the ghost that seduced the soul had some power. It was because the ghost died in an unknown way. He couldn't find anyone and could only find a substitute to reincarnate himself.

The person who seduces the soul will take her place and seize the next one. This is the reincarnation of cause and effect. Following my grandfather’s instructions, I prepared everything, went to the ruined temple in advance, and arranged the surrounding area into a star town, that is,

The slope of the Ghost Exorcist Array is not much like that of a house in the countryside. Directly opposite the gate is the main hall, with Jialan and Arhats enshrined on both sides. Because it has been neglected for many years, it has become overgrown with weeds and the Buddha statues are also dilapidated. The main Buddha in the main hall is

It was all dusty, so I found a place to put all the magic weapons that could be used and then I went home.

It was late at night. I looked at my watch and it was already past 11 o'clock. I told them that the couple could go and gave some instructions. When they arrived, my grandfather and I would follow them from a distance. We went in from the back of the ruined temple and waited.

They directly lit candles, covered the Buddha statue with a cloth, and worshiped the Buddha respectfully. After placing the child next to them, they lit incense. As soon as the alarm clock on their mobile phone rang, the couple started calling the child's name while shouting

We were still crying. Just when we thought it would last for a while, there was a sudden gust of wind and the candles went out. They were a little frightened. Seeing the man's sweat dripping down, the woman was even trembling with fear.

"Feng'er, Feng'er is back home."

"Mom, Dad" has been called weirdly all my life, with a bit of a shrill voice, and you can vaguely hear a girl laughing "Giggle".

When the two of them heard this, their bodies trembled.

"Mom and dad, please look back at me. I'm back." The couple was shaking with fear.

"Don't look back," Grandpa whispered. There are three fires on the top of the head and on the sides of the shoulders. This is where the Yang Qi is. The stronger the three fires are, the ghosts and spirits will not dare to approach. When a person's fortune is low or always

When you are unlucky, the three fires are relatively weak, allowing some evil spirits to get close to you.

First, the fire on the head: As the saying goes, there is a god three feet above the head. This fire also means the protection of the gods. There is no such thing as the protection of the gods for evil things, so you generally don’t wear a hat when you go out at night, as the fire will

Hold it down. The older generation said that if you are scared, just scratch your scalp a few times, and the fire will become even bigger.

Second, the fire on the right shoulder

Some people say that this fire is called the nameless fire. The nameless fire on the right shoulder illuminates the entire right side of a person's body. There is no turning back when walking at night. Some say that when you turn around, don't turn back hard all at once, as this will also extinguish the nameless fire on the shoulder.

.

Third, the fire on the left shoulder

Symmetrical with the nameless fire on the right shoulder, it illuminates the left side of the person's body, and the torch on the right shoulder of the head illuminates the whole body. Some old people say that this is the person's yang energy. Generally, people who suffer from hysteria have too weak yang energy. Because

When a person is frightened, his heart energy is weak, his Yang energy is fluctuated, and he is prone to evil spirits. As a result, he does not go well in anything he does, and his luck is particularly low. Generally speaking, there are only a few possibilities for extinguishing these three fires. The first is that the person is about to leave, and the second is walking at night.

If you suddenly turn around when someone calls your name, it must be an evil spirit. The third thing is the situation now. If you suddenly turn around during the summoning, grandpa has specifically told them not to look back no matter who calls, but these two beloved children are so eager to let the child call.

I couldn't help but turn around, something was wrong with the situation inside. My grandfather and my colleagues saw a little girl whose body was completely gone, but her whole body was black, and the facial features on her face could not be seen clearly. Grandpa said she was burned to death, this

The little girl was getting closer and closer to them.

"It's your turn to have a grandchild."

Grandpa gave the order and I jumped up from behind the Buddha statue. "Where are the evil spirits coming from? Kneel down for me." Maybe it was because Da Lei's family affairs gave me courage. I dared to say anything and there was nothing to fear. Grandpa was here. I held my hand in my hand.

The Taomu Sword was thrown over with a talisman. The girl didn't even try to hide when she saw it, so she pressed towards her. She spread her black hands to grab her. We were about 2 meters apart, so I quickly ducked and got out of the way.

Bit dodged

"You two, go and wait with your children in your arms. If you are not successful enough, you will be ruined. Who told you to look back? Remember, don't say anything when you see something. Do you hear me?" Grandpa said angrily.
