"Are you sure? I taught you this. Now tell me the process." Liu Ruxiang turned to me and asked.
I went through the entire process of making oil pancakes in my mind, and then I said, "When the altar is set up, the oil pan, fire and other props are all ready, and let the recipient of the spell lie down beside it. After putting on the master's clothes, After putting on masks and robes, worship the gods and ancestors first, then start the process of undressing the filthy mother and issuing talismans to the officials.
Then put the incense on the weight, tie it with a string and pick it up, then twist a few grains of rice and put it on the weight. At this time, the incense is lit and the mantras are chanted. After chanting the mantras, the names of the evil gods and ghosts are called. Whichever one is clicked, there will be a reaction..."
I dictated the entire process, and the people around me felt confused as they listened.
"This kid, can he really perform rituals well?" Wang Jinhai, a wealthy businessman, turned to glance at me.
Seeing a worried look on Jiang Lishan's face, Liu Ruxiang smiled: "My apprentice is outstanding. Everyone believes in my ability to train him. He will have no problem. This ritual is not difficult, plus I am here." Just give me some guidance and there won’t be any problems.”
My palms were sweating slightly. To be honest, this was my first time doing this ritual, and I wasn't sure whether it would succeed.
"However," Liu Ruxiang paused for a moment, turned to me and said, "When you first place the incense, you should light it first and then put it on, and you must control the time of the entire spell to allow the incense to burn out. Before. It was too slow. If you haven’t finished it after the incense is burned, it won’t work.”
I listened patiently to the cook's instructions and took them all to heart.
"Don't worry, everyone, I practiced it many times at home."
You Guo Lun can be performed indoors or outdoors. I asked Liu Ruxiang and decided to place the ritual venue downstairs in the hall on the first floor. If something happens, it will be easier to deal with it if it is empty.
We prepared a list of materials needed for the ritual and handed it to Jiang Lishan.
He had just listened to my speech and was familiar with the entire spell process.
"Mr. Jiang, can you cooperate with the entire ritual process?" I asked him gently.
Jiang Lishan nodded: "Young man, I'm optimistic about you. If you work hard, it all depends on you whether I, an old man like me, can survive."
When he said this, I suddenly felt like there was a very heavy burden on my shoulders.
You must not fail, you must succeed.
For me, this is not only a merit, but also a living life.
I nodded and took him and my master downstairs.
The Jiang family has abundant reserves of various supplies and moves very quickly. All kinds of equipment were delivered within a few minutes.
A large bucket of rapeseed oil, an iron pot, a fire pit stand, and some other magic supplies.
"We can start preparations." Liu Ruxiang took a banner and some white silk ribbons and started to help me decorate the execution ground.
In less than ten minutes, everything was ready, including the altar.
I put on the Master's robe and a Literary Master's mask. I held a copper bell in my left hand and shook it, and held a short sword in my other hand. After a while of Master's dance and singing, I performed the steps of removing the filthy mother, issuing talismans, and so on. Last night, I began to formally search for ghosts and gods.
"The founders of Tang, Ge, and Zhou Yuan...the gods from all walks of life are here. Liu Wenshan, a descendant of the Yumen Liu family, is opening an altar here. There are many collisions. Today, all walks of life are being questioned..."
The above things are all kind words to all kinds of ghosts and gods. People are very insignificant in front of such supernatural things. As teachers, we are actually using the magic power of the ancestors and ghosts and gods. So in the face of these things, there should be no less respect.
After saying the polite words, he started looking for ghosts and gods.
"Wu Aying, the dead ghost with tuberculosis, are you there?"
"Hang Niang Jiao Dao San, are you there?"
"Two Hearts of Wool and Five Mountains, are you there?"
Asking this question one after another, the names of these ghosts and gods are all very strange.
Liu Ruxiang explained to me before that the names of these ghosts and gods are preceded by the name of the ghost and their breed, and the latter is their name. For example, "Two Hearts of Wool, Five Mountains, Two Hearts of Sheep, what is this thing?" Mao Wushan is the name of this ghost and god."
They shouted one after another, but there was no response for a long time.
But I wasn’t done shouting yet. I flipped through the book and continued to shout the names of ghosts and gods.
Finally, he shouted, "Xue Piao Zhan Zhongyu, are you there?"
As soon as these words came out, there was an immediate response.
The weight in my hand was very stable just now, burning slowly and motionless. Now when I read this name, it immediately started spinning.
Finally found it, I breathed a sigh of relief and shouted: "Don't make trouble, kid!"
Having said that, I immediately grabbed the swinging weight, picked up a few grains of rice on it, and immediately threw it into the fire.
"Heat the oil in the pan!"
After getting my instructions, Liu Ruxiang, who was next to me, immediately lifted a large bucket of oil and poured it into the big iron pot.
The aroma of rapeseed oil filled the air, and then the servant began to add firewood to the stove below.
The flames burned bigger and bigger, and the rapeseed oil soon started to bubble.
Seeing that it was almost burning, I put my hand on top of the pot and gently felt the temperature.
It was very hot, but not to the point of being scalding, and the fire was still a bit low.
After waiting for another minute, the fire was finally heated up by the oil pan.
I twisted two green willow leaves and began to recite Master's scripture in my mouth: "The Dragon King gave me rootless water, Hua Po gave me evergreen willows, and invited the two gods to help me, and the evil nine pounds of demons and ghosts appeared quickly."
After that, I dipped the willow leaves into the water in the bowl and immediately sprinkled it on the oil pan.
"Pap-ta-ta-ta-"
There was an explosion on the oil pan, and a mist of water immediately rose.
This noisy scene made many onlookers widen their eyes.
At this moment, the crystal chandelier above his head suddenly flashed twice, and a manic evil wind blew open the window next to him.
"Bang, bang, bang -" The windows and doors hit the walls heavily, and the biting cold wind penetrated people's collars hard.
This situation was really weird, and Liu Ruxiang didn't expect that this practice would have such a big reaction.
"Keep doing this, don't stop." The cook turned to me and said.
The cold wind blew the hair on my head into a mess, and I gritted my teeth and nodded in agreement.
I squeezed the willow leaves in my hand tightly - these were the dried willow leaves that Liu Ruxiang saved last year.
After all, it is impossible to have willow leaves all year round. In autumn and winter, willow trees become bare.
Dried leaves soaked in water can also be used.
