Lu Fei and I didn't have the ability to see ghosts, so we couldn't see what the ghost looked like, and we couldn't figure out what was going on. We grumbled for a while, and I asked Wang Zijun and Qu Mo to go back and greet their relatives and friends. All the newlyweds had run away, and it was not appropriate to leave them there. I asked him to go back and tell everyone that I was suddenly feeling unwell, and asked everyone to drink to their heart's content first, and we would go back later. I also specifically told Wang Zijun to let my mother not worry.
After waiting for about half an hour, the little white flag flew back, and San Ya, Lin Mengxi and Xia Muchun came out together. Lin Mengxi was older and more experienced than the other two, so she became the big sister of the little white flag. Lin Mengxi told me that they chased to a village more than ten miles away from the town, and the evil spirit came from a small courtyard at the south end of the village.
Through the window, I saw an old man in his sixties who had just entered the house and took out a bottle from his pocket, which contained a pair of ghost babies with scary shapes. Later, the old man looked up and found a small white flag in the air above the yard, so Lin Mengxi quickly pulled the flag back.
The ghost baby in the bottle looked premature, what kind of evil could it be? Suddenly, an idea flashed in my mind, and I thought of a kind of terrible evil ghost recorded in the ancient books of Maoshan - the human fetus ghost!
I told him what I had thought of. Old Yan frowned and thought about it, then nodded and said, "I've also heard of this kind of evil spirit. I always thought it was something that only existed during the Republic of China and had long been extinct. I didn't expect it to still exist."
Lu Fei seemed to understand, but Shen Bing was confused and asked anxiously, "What is a human fetus ghost? What kind of new species is that?"
Wow, you thought that breeding seedless watermelons was a new variety. But speaking of it, human fetus ghosts are not a new variety, but a kind of ghost-raising technique that has existed since ancient times. It is as evil as raising corpses, and both originated from Maoshan techniques, and were eventually abandoned by the Maoshan righteous way.
The evil thing about it is that to raise this kind of ghost, you have to use a fetus before birth, which is of course a premature baby. This is one of the categories of raising ghosts, and it is also the most vicious and evil ghost raising technique. What does it mean to raise a ghost? It is to raise a child who died in infancy, because when a child is just born, he has innate evil spirits and can communicate with the yin and yang worlds. They can see dirty things that adults cannot see. For example, a night cryer is a child who can see ghosts and cry in fear. Therefore, after raising a ghost, the evil spirit will be the heaviest, and no matter what evil things he does, he will be successful. There are many unscrupulous practitioners who secretly raise ghosts.
Generally, the ghost is a sorcerer who hears that there is a child who died prematurely. He will quietly run to the grave and insert a willow branch, a locust branch or a vine, which are all Yin wood. After offering the talisman, the branch will slowly grow. When the branches and leaves are lush, the ghost has been seduced out and trapped in the tree. Then take it out with the talisman and put it in a glass bottle. But it must be a pair of male and female ghost babies, otherwise the child is playful and only one of them will sneak away, or he will die of depression.
However, the human fetus ghost is extremely vicious, and is taken from the fetus in the belly of a pregnant woman who is about to give birth. After this kind of ghost is grown, it is the best among the ghosts, and is called a human fetus ghost.
However, it is true as Old Yan said, raising ghosts was a thing before the Republic of China. After the ten years of the revolution in our country, all the evil things were wiped out, and many kinds of evil things no longer exist. But some things cannot be completely eliminated. Wildfires cannot burn them all, and spring breezes will bring them back. Raising ghosts actually happened in the village near the ghost shop, which is really a slap in the face of the Xi family.
