"Then what's the problem with my son?" My dad knew that the time of my birth was extremely gloomy, but he believed that there must be other people in China who were born at this time. How could his own son be haunted by a hundred ghosts
"It just so happens that your son was born as a boy, and he was born at this point. The soul of the boy is extremely powerful, and sometimes there will even be double horoscopes. That is, the soul of the boy in the body is not the same as the original soul of the reincarnation. Complete fusion forms the special phenomenon of two souls, so there are double horoscopes, that is, two horoscopes! Simply put, if the soul belongs to yin, then the body must belong to yang. If the soul is too strong, the whole person will be yin and yang. Bad. Being Yin is not a bad thing, at least the spiritual sense is very strong. The birthmark on the back of your son's head is that the spiritual sense has been strong enough to form eyes, and the soul is powerful, and it is easy to perceive the world!" Old Man Jiang explained carefully. Yes, my parents seemed to understand.
Even so, my parents also understood one thing, that is, their son’s destiny was Yin, and he was born during a Yin time. How could that be okay
"Then my son..." My mother was very anxious.
"The Yang body is weak, and the body is naturally weak. The boy's life is inherently doomed, and it is generally difficult to support him, but it is not unsolvable. In addition, your son has attracted all the ghosts nearby, and the boy's life is the first. It is easy to provoke these things, plus the time when he was born. The child's soul is unstable, plus it is a boy's destiny, the yin is strong and the yang is declining, just like the sky and the earth, the yang and the yin are the same, your son's body is extremely difficult to shut down His soul, all those lonely ghosts want to take its place, and being able to obtain a human body is a hundred times better than the situation of a lonely ghost wandering around without a trace!" My master explained all the issues clearly in a few words.
"Master Jiang, you said you can save my son, do you want to save him now?" My dad was very anxious.
"Don't be busy. Your son's situation needs to be solved by a ritual to drive away ghosts. I have eaten meat and wine now, so it is not suitable for him to do it. I will stay at your house tonight. I will go up the mountain to get some things tomorrow morning, and then I will do the ritual again. . Take this to your son and wear it first. The situation will be relieved." After saying that, my master took out something from his arms and handed it to my father.
My dad took it and took a look. It was three inches long, oily yellow, warm and pleasant, and the claw tips were extremely sharp. The other end was wrapped in yellow metal with patterns on it. There was a small mark on the yellow metal. hole, with a red rope passing through the middle.
"Master Jiang, what is this?" My dad really couldn't recognize this thing.
"Tiger Claw! The claw of a tiger that has matured for more than fifty years. Just put it on your son." Old Man Jiang said lightly, as if this thing was not worth mentioning in his eyes.
My parents are farmers and have no idea how precious tiger claws are, let alone tiger claws like this.
Only my mother, with her sharp eyes, saw the yellow metal at a glance and said hesitantly, "Master Jiang, is the thing wrapped in this gold?"
"Hehe." Old Man Jiang didn't want to say more. After laughing, he just said: "This is what I should do. Your son and I have a long-lasting bond, so let's put it on him first."
What my parents said was baffling, but it was hard to ask too many questions.
Folks only know that dogs ward off evil spirits, and evil things are most afraid of dog teeth. It is said that dog teeth can bite the soul. In fact, compared with dogs, cats are better at warding off evil spirits. It is just because cats are lazy, indifferent and unwilling to take care of themselves. That’s all.
Generally speaking, dogs are only afraid of evil things, but cats are really afraid of them, especially their claws.
The tiger is a big cat, and compared to the white tiger among the four elephants, its claws are truly the best thing to ward off evil spirits! Tigers have a short lifespan and become more mature with age. Big cats that are over fifty years old are extremely rare. Only my master can get them. Where can ordinary Taoist priests find such things
My dad took the tiger claw and put it on me directly. Strangely enough, my breathing became steady instantly, and I no longer had the usual feeling of being strangled by my neck when I hummed. It really felt like it. Wonderful effect!
My parents were even more convinced by Old Man Jiang, and they really treated him respectfully. However, Old Man Jiang did not accept my parents’ attitude this time. He just said: "You guys treat me as usual, and we will be related from now on." This attitude is inappropriate, otherwise I would leave."
This old man Jiang is talking more and more strangely, and he doesn't explain why. My parents are in the dark, but it's not easy to ask more questions. But they were really afraid that Old Man Jiang would turn around and leave, so they could only pretend to be natural.
Old Man Jiang stayed at my house, but he was not interested in anything else. He only ate some vegetarian dishes for dinner, unlike his usual gourmet self. At other times, he liked to hold me and caress me. He looked around and smiled silly from time to time, which made my parents tremble.
It wasn't until he was about to go to sleep that Old Man Jiang snorted coldly: "We still get together and don't break up. It's really shameless. We will all be suppressed tomorrow."
My parents woke up early the next morning, but when they woke up, they found that Old Man Jiang was not there. He had said yesterday that he was going to the mountains to get something, and he thought he was going to the mountains, but there was no one there. Knowing how early he left, I just felt that I, who had not been sleeping well since birth, didn't make any noise last night. I slept very soundly until they woke up.
My parents were happy, and they didn’t think that Old Man Jiang had run away on his own. My mother took a close look at my tiger tooth pendant yesterday and determined that it was wrapped in gold. The most precious thing in my mother’s dowry was My grandma gave her a gold ring, so she recognizes gold.
Since something as valuable as gold was given to me casually, and the thing given was so effective, how could he run away
Sure enough, at dawn, Old Man Jiang came to my house. He was different from usual. He was carrying a cloth bag and a bucket, and the bucket was filled with water.
After putting down his things, Old Man Jiang said to my mother: "Boil some water. I want to take a shower and change clothes."
"Shower and change clothes?" My mother couldn't react at the moment.
"Just taking a shower and changing clothes." Old Man Jiang said casually.
At Old Man Jiang's request, my mother boiled hot water for about an hour, because Old Man Jiang asked my mother to prepare three things to hold water. One of them was for scrubbing his body, and one of them was for bathing me. Finally, it is a big bucket for bathing in my house. Old Man Jiang wants to use it for bathing.
This was complicated enough. My mother could not imagine that there were so many rules for Old Man Jiang to take a bath. Moreover, while my mother was boiling water, Old Man Jiang had been cooking something mysteriously.
The water used to cook things is the water that Old Man Jiang brought himself. My dad asked him: "Master Jiang, what kind of water is that? Can't you use my water?"
"No, this is water without roots. It doesn't take up space. The water used to make fragrant soup requires special water." Old Man Jiang still had the same style and answered directly without explaining.
Old Man Jiang boiled two small pots of water and added a lot of bits and pieces during the cooking process. He stayed on the stove and adjusted the heat from time to time.
After my mother mixed the water that Old Man Jiang asked for, Old Man Jiang pointed to one of the bowls of water he had brewed and said, "The main ingredient in this bowl is Angelica dahurica. You mix it into the basin. This is for the three boys." .”
"The main ingredient in this pot is peach skin, which I use. Just mix it into the big wooden barrel."
My mother did as Old Man Jiang said, and then asked doubtfully: "Master Jiang, is it appropriate for such a young child to soak in water?"
"You hold him and soak your whole body with this water. You can soak for a while and rest for a while. Just add some hot water. I will never fail to do my best to you, the third boy. I can't easily enjoy this fragrant soup. I know how to cook it, because it takes too much effort, and the Angelica dahuricae soup is the best to ward off evil spirits and remove the three corpses. Just follow it." As soon as he mentioned me, Old Man Jiang gave more explanations.
The main ingredient of the peach peel fragrant soup he used was made from the bark of peach trees after removing the cork. It was the most refreshing and refreshing. This was to prepare for what he had to do later.
Fragrant soup is not easy to make. The ingredients and the heat are all strictly required. The water must also be matched with special water, plus bath beans and matching honey soup. Old Man Jiang is indeed something I put a lot of effort into.
It is also because I attach great importance to this matter that I even make fragrant soup myself to ensure that nothing goes wrong.
