Haunted Houses’ Chronicles

Chapter 19: Lost soul

Views:

After more than a month, I went to bask in the sun every day according to Qin Yiheng's instructions, and finally got a lot darker. During this time, Yuan Zhen actually contacted me. Although I was very interested, I didn't dare to leave rashly. Because Qin Yiheng told me that when I saw those things with my own eyes, I should watch them quietly for a few days. The so-called quiet eyes refer to try not to look at red things for a period of time, because red has the ability to ward off evil spirits, and after seeing it, it will counteract one's luck because of righteousness. mean. However, this is the same as many of the truths that Qin Yiheng said. I don't know whether it is true or not, so I would rather believe it than believe it. However, because of quiet eyes, I have developed the habit of wearing sunglasses. Later, when I went out with Qin Yiheng, at first glance, I was even more unpredictable.

Such a carefree life is beautiful, but the stagnation of life will make people more and more boring. Coincidentally, at this time Yuan Zhen contacted me again, saying that there was a family whose house was to be sold. However, according to his description, this house does not seem to be a haunted house, because the people living in it are still alive.

I was a little disappointed after hearing his narration, but I still wanted to take a look, because the price Yuan Zhen reported to us was quite high in profit, and, I thought, maybe what happened to their family was just a trivial matter , There is no need for the method of alchemy at all, so maybe I can get a big deal. I talked to Qin Yiheng, and he disagreed at first, saying that our current luck is very low, and we may lose money in business, so we should stay calm and be careful not to be caught in any bloody disasters. But he couldn't stand me being soft and hard, and finally he decided to go and have a look first.

This house is not far from the city we are in. If you take the high speed, it is only a little over three hours by car. Besides, I think I drive very fast. If I drive by myself, it saves a lot of time in taxis and walking, so we simply Drive straight on the road. Yuan Zhen happened to be in this city, and it happened to be lunch time when we arrived there, so we invited Yuan Zhen to have a meal. During the dinner, he briefly talked about the house.

Yuan Zhen said that this family has lived here for several years. The male owner is a middle school teacher, and the female owner runs a small supermarket in their own community. The two have a daughter aged 16 or 17, and the family of three lives comfortably. Still very happy.

Because the male host is a teacher, he has winter and summer vacations every year, and he himself likes to travel, so he basically travels on his own every year during the holidays, or a family of three reported to a travel agency to go to some domestic tourist attractions. The strange thing happened after a summer trip of their family of three. At that time, they went to an undeveloped mountain in the Northeast Forest Farm. Although it was undeveloped, but because there was not much artificial carving and pollution, the scenery was very pleasant, and the family had a great time. When going up the mountain, the host specially bought a big watermelon from the local area and took it up the mountain, and put it in the river, hoping to wait for the watermelon to cool completely before eating. But when they came back from playing around, they found that the watermelon in the river was gone. Because it was not sure whether there were locals or other tourists on the mountain at that time, although the family was disappointed, they had no choice but to curse the person who stole the watermelon secretly, and finally went down the mountain angrily. Later, on the way back after the tour, their daughter complained that she was very sleepy and said she needed to sleep for a while. Anyway, the journey was far away, so the two adults simply fell asleep. Unexpectedly, when they got home, their daughter was still lethargic and sleepy. The couple thought it was due to the exhaustion of the car and horses, and the play took a lot of energy, so they didn't take it seriously.

But after that, it was difficult for the daughter to wake up again, and she basically slept for a few days. The two adults started to get scared and rushed to the hospital. However, all the examinations were completely normal. In the end, they had nothing to do, so they found a local knowledgeable person to look at it. The knowledgeable people said that they must have messed with something on the mountain, and now that the daughter is being raped, they have to go back to the place where they played to worship. The couple did so, bought a lot of tribute melons and fruits and returned to the mountain, knelt and kowtowed for a long time to beg for mercy, but it didn't work, so they returned helplessly. I found many people to look at it through my relationship, but they all said it was caused by disrespect to the things on the mountain, but they couldn't come up with a feasible solution. Later, the two couples inadvertently heard the news that the two of us had been buying a haunted house through Yuan Zhen. They thought that we were also somewhat virtuous, so they hoped that we would come and have a look. They also knew that we were real estate speculators, so we would definitely not be in vain. Come on, as soon as you gritted your teeth, you gave us a price much lower than the market price. As long as we cure their daughter, they will sell the house to us.

After listening to what Yuan Zhen said about the house, I was still a little hesitant in my heart. Although I had done such a thing of taking advantage of others before, it was the first time that I was so blatant.

But people are already here, so let’s go and have a look. If you really can’t bear the condemnation of your conscience, you can just charge a nominal fee and go back. After dinner, we went straight to the couple's house.

Knocking on the door of the house, it seemed that the couple had been waiting for a long time, and they were very enthusiastic. They served tea, handed cigarettes, and peeled fruit. I didn't answer, and followed Qin Yiheng to the bedroom to see their daughter.

The little girl was still awake at this time, and when she saw someone coming in, she only moved her eyeballs reluctantly. Qin Yiheng stepped forward, looked at it briefly, then turned around and asked me to go to their kitchen to get a kitchen knife and a chopping board. He took out a few dead branches from his bag, chopped them up with a knife, wrapped them in red paper and pressed them on the girl's cap, then asked us to come out of the back room and discuss countermeasures in the living room.

Qin Yiheng said that the current situation is very bad, but it is indeed the same as what those people have seen before, the girl's soul has lost a lot inexplicably.

I was still very confused when I heard it, and I couldn't figure out what he meant by losing a lot.

Qin Yiheng explained it, which can be regarded as an analysis of the little girl's current situation for the couple. The so-called three souls and seven souls must have been heard by many people, but few people really understand what the three souls and seven souls are. According to Taoism, there are three souls, one is the soul of heaven, the other is the soul of earth, and the third is the soul of fate. There are seven souls, one is heavenly, the second is spiritual, the third is qi, the fourth is strength, the fifth is the center, the sixth is essence, and the seventh is heroism.

Among them, the soul, to put it simply, is similar to the brain of a living being, and the soul can be compared to our nervous system. These two things together dominate our body and cooperate with each other. In this theory, among the three souls, only the soul of life will always stay in the human body. To put it bluntly, if both the heavenly soul and the earthly soul can also return to the human body, then it is the so-called attainment of Taoism and immortality. Those monsters in myths and legends who have practiced for thousands of years but have not attained the Tao are basically just enlightened earth souls.

It is based on this concept that among the people, children in many places have the custom of hanging small locks around their necks, which is actually to lock the soul and prevent it from slipping away. Because in childhood, the soul of the human body is not stable, and it is easy to leave the body due to various reasons. This is actually very easy to solve. If the situation is not serious, find a close relative to call a few times, and it will naturally be easily found in the body. In layman's terms, the soul at this time is easy to disassemble, so it is relatively easy to install. And after a person becomes an adult or grows up, the soul tends to be stable, but it is not unshakable. Let alone the occurrence of things like being seduced by the soul, we can get a glimpse of one or two of them simply in our common sayings, for example, I was scared out of my wits and so on.

When Qin Yiheng said this, he tapped the top of his head with his hand, and signaled, when we went in just now, in order to prevent the little girl's body from being taken advantage of by things, I specially chopped jujube wood with lightning and wrapped it in red paper. , Seal the little girl's spiritual gate. The jujube wood that has been struck by lightning not only has the effect of warding off evil spirits and cultivating righteousness, but also has the effect of begging for a child after being crushed and mixed with dewdrops and applied to the left hand for a long time. The reason why I do this is because the passage for the soul to enter and exit the human body is the Tianling Gai. Those who use magic to take people's souls for their own use also work on their victims' celestial caps. This theory has been developing with our culture for thousands of years, even in the mythical novel "Journey to the West", we can see it. The golden hoop is locked on Monkey King's forehead, which actually locks Monkey King's soul so that he cannot escape. Therefore, even when Monkey King's soul is out of his body, he will still have a golden hoop on his head. To put it bluntly , no matter how far he ran, the dog chain was tied around his neck all the time, it was nothing more than the length of the line.

The series of metaphysical knowledge that Qin Yiheng talked about did not sound obscure. The couple obviously understood the seriousness of the situation, their eyes were red, and they kept begging us to save their daughter.

Qin Yiheng said that this is not impossible, but it will be more cumbersome to implement, but as long as they have patience, I believe their daughter will be able to recover.

When the couple heard Qin Yiheng say that they were saved, they thanked Qin Yiheng so much that they nearly knelt down. I also felt very sad when I saw it, so I asked Qin Yiheng what was going on with that little girl now.

Qin Yiheng said that now it seems that only three souls and seven souls have been lost, but it is not clear whether they were hooked away by something or ran away by themselves for some reason. According to their previous experience on the mountain, he personally prefers that her soul be taken away by something, but this is really tricky, because first of all, he doesn't know what kind of thing the other party is; secondly, They also went to worship devoutly, but it didn't work. It can be seen that the thing is not broad-minded, and it must be a difficult character to deal with.

Before she finished speaking, the girl's mother started to cry in fright. Qin Yiheng felt a little helpless when he saw this, and he comforted him. This kind of situation actually happened from time to time when the urbanization process was not so rapid in the past. Even in some remote areas now, some animals often appear on people. So don't be too pessimistic now, solving the problem is the key.

Although Qin Yiheng's words were consoling, they were indeed reasonable. I remember listening to my grandma tell a true story that happened in their village when I was very young. A local woman went into the mountain once, and because of her inner urgency, she took a convenience under a tree. This is actually a very taboo thing, because you might spray your excrement on the head of something you can't see. The woman became enlightened because of this, and after returning home, she lost her humanity and bit anyone she saw. Seeing that there was nothing wrong with her, the family tied her up with a rope, put her on the bed, and then found a person who was reasonably knowledgeable from all over the world to come and see. Seeing this, the man asserted that he was possessed by a fairy, but there was no direct way, he could only drive it away with evil spirits, but it didn't work. Later, it was a butcher nearby who saw this and yelled and asked the woman where she was. Unexpectedly, the fairy was really shocked by the butcher's hostility, and obediently reported an address called Wutong Mountain Boot Cave. Seeing this, the knowledgeable people immediately took the whole village to look for them, and finally found a pair of weasels in a hole of a big sycamore tree in the mountain. The most amazing thing is that the weasel may also be greedy for comfort, so he brought a cowhide boot from somewhere to sleep on the bed. Everyone hurriedly killed the weasel, and when they went back to see, the woman had returned to normal. Although this is just a story passed down by word of mouth, and I don't know whether it is true or not, but according to what Qin Yiheng said, there must be some truth.

Now that the matter has roughly been sorted out, it depends on how Qin Yiheng will operate later. I asked him with my eyes, and when he saw this, he leaned into my ear and told me that if it was really such a fairy upper body, it would not be difficult to deal with, but the most troublesome thing now is that that thing is so powerful that it can directly kill me. If the soul is drawn away, the trouble will be big. It's like your computer is poisoned, as long as you use better anti-virus software to clear it, it will be solved, but if your computer loses hardware for no reason, it is simply unimaginable.

Hearing his analysis, I feel a little heavy, and based on what he said just now, I still estimate in an optimistic direction. But now I really want to help the couple. I am also an only child, so I can better understand the importance of an only child to parents. Seeing how pitiful this couple is, Qin Yiheng also seemed to be moved with compassion. After thinking about it, he decided to try the usual method first, which is what the folks call "calling the soul".

This way of calling the soul is very cumbersome, and it takes a lot of energy to implement. First of all, in several fixed time periods, at Zishi, Choushi, Yinshi, and Maoshi, turn off all the lights in the house, and light only one oil lamp to guide the soul; then, open the window, stand in front of the window, and face the front door respectively. The four directions of south, true north, true east, and true west kept calling the little girl's name; finally, lit a piece of yellow paper with the little girl's birthday written on it, and fed the little girl to drink.

In addition, during the four time periods of the day: Chen, Si, Noon, and Wei, we must face the four directions of northeast, southeast, southwest, and northwest to worship and make offerings. The girl's soul gives way. After feeding the little girl and drinking the yellow paper ashes with the birth date written on it, you cannot call the little girl by her name at night for seven days, because the little girl's soul is not stable yet. The method used to hook out the little girl's soul again.

We also implemented it step by step according to this step. Although I don’t need to participate as an outsider, even so, I feel very tired just watching them do these things, and the most abnormal thing is that the whole step is done for the first time. After that, it didn't work. Qin Yiheng said that it might be because the soul was lost too far, so he repeated it again. This time it really had an obvious effect. The little girl sat up by herself after drinking the ashes on the yellow paper with her birthday written on it at night. At first, it seemed that it was due to the long-term inactivity, and the body movements were not under control, but after a short period of adaptation, I was able to walk around on the ground.

The couple was very moved and thanked the two of us non-stop, probably saying all the good things they both knew in their lives. The male owner wanted to draw up a contract at that time and sell the house to me according to the original promise. Frankly speaking, I am also very happy, thinking in my heart that I have done a good deed, and the money is nothing. I showed my attitude and said that I didn't want to make this money. The male host was very firm, and I also firmly refused, and several people were polite for a long time because of this.

However, just when everyone thought everyone was happy, so you come and I go back and forth, Qin Yiheng gently tugged at the corner of my clothes beside me. I thought he had changed his mind temporarily and wanted to take the house, so I wanted to turn around and persuade him. Who knew that when I looked at him, he kept winking at me. I followed his eyes and found that he was referring to the little girl. The little girl was sitting on the edge of the bed at this time, very quiet, but she didn't see anything unusual. I tilted my head and asked Qin Yiheng what he meant with my eyes. He pulled me to his side and whispered to me, we have to be careful, it doesn't seem like the little girl's soul is being summoned.
