The woman nodded repeatedly and said to me: "Yes, yes, there was a person in our family who died wearing a red cheongsam. I heard my grandma say this, but strictly speaking, that person is not from my family, she is only my grandfather's." An aunt, considered a concubine..."
It seems that my calculation was good. Her ancestors were indeed wealthy, and she even had a concubine.
"How did your concubine die?"
"I heard that she died of an acute illness. She was in her early thirties when she died. My grandma was a very kind-hearted person. She was always very kind to her. She even had a grand funeral for her, as expected of a wife. It’s done.”
"In this case, it stands to reason that she should thank your family."
"Yeah, but in fact...she has come to us several times over the years, so if you said she fell into the water and died, I don't know who it was, but if she died wearing a cheongsam during the Republic of China, it should be her."
The woman was a little excited as she spoke, and she must have been tortured.
But I shouldn’t be mistaken. The female ghost was all wet. If she didn’t fall into the water and die, then it means that her tomb may have been filled with water.
After thinking about it, I asked her again, where is the concubine's grave? Can it still be found?
She shook her head and said that her ancestral home was in the countryside, but they had moved to the city for many years, and the graves of her grandfather and ancestors had also been moved to the cemetery.
Only the concubine's grave was left in the countryside due to identity issues. No one has taken care of it over the years, and it is estimated that it can no longer be found.
I told her that the problem now lies with the concubine. If she didn't fall into the water and died, then there was water in the grave. The cause must be found and solved.
Otherwise, the concubine will keep pestering her.
She was speechless and asked me why the concubine was only pestering her?
I smiled. This kind of thing is actually easy to explain. Although some people have good horoscopes, but their fate is weak and their yin energy is strong, they are more likely to be entangled.
Another reason is that the person being haunted is more superstitious, so ghosts like to look for people like this.
You know, most ghosts haunt people for a reason. At the very least, they have to burn some paper ingots.
So if a person is not superstitious, doesn’t believe in ghosts, carries on even when sick, is not afraid of ghosts, and is completely stubborn, then why are the ghosts looking for her?
This is one of the theoretical bases of "Believe it or not believe it".
Of course, if the ghost is here for revenge, or that ghost is also a gangster... then that's a different story.
After listening to my explanation, she finally understood a little bit, so she told me that when she went back, she would ask her family to see if they could find the grave of the concubine, and she would give me the news in a day or two.
If there is water in the grave as I said, you must come to me to solve it.
The implication is that if there is no water, it means I am talking nonsense.
I didn't say anything more to her, collected 30 yuan of hexagram money, and sent her away.
I'm not sure whether there was water in the concubine's grave, and the fairy family didn't give any warning, but the image I saw was unmistakable.
Anyway, I have finished reading this hexagram. As for the rest, it is not my business.
Not long after the woman left, Uncle Ma came back. I pointed to the thirty yuan on the table and briefly told him what had just happened.
When Uncle Ma heard that I had gone to the incense to investigate, his expression was a little subtle, and he asked me cheerfully, did the female ghost die unjustly?
I said, I don’t know whether she was wronged or not, but she definitely had resentment. Her face was as straight as Changbai Mountain, and she looked at people with anger in her eyes.
Uncle Ma said that this is not possible. Next time you investigate something, you have to ask clearly how the female ghost died and what she was wronged about. Ask her to tell her everything. Even if she does not avenge her, she will still have to ask. Only by resolving her grievances can the matter be considered finished.
Otherwise, this hexagram is in vain.
I widened my eyes and said, "Uncle Ma, what do you mean, do I still have to settle a lawsuit for her? She has been dead for at least seventy or eighty years, where can I avenge her? Let's just say it. The hexagram is only thirty yuan, why should I care about her?"
Uncle Ma looked at me with an expression of hatred, and said: "Are you a tiger? One fortune is thirty, and you will pay another price if you resolve your grievances for her. Don't you see that Hu Ma is doing things for others? Thousands or tens of thousands?"
I spread my hands: "I can do fortune-telling, but I can't resolve grudges. Besides, I have told her the reason. I will wait for her to investigate the matter of the concubine. If she is right, she will come back." , then you can fool her again."
Uncle Ma said: "Do you believe it, if she could check it, I would write the character "horse" backwards?"
I didn't believe it, so I shook my head and said, "She is haunted by ghosts. Why not check it out?"
Uncle Ma said: "You look too young at first glance. If she had that kind of intention, she would have investigated it all these years. Let me tell you, most people are actually half-convinced about these things, even if you are right. , she can delay it as long as she can, and if she doesn’t do it, she won’t do it. If you don’t push it to a certain level, she won’t come to you again.”
Uncle Ma is very experienced and what he said should be correct.
But I still don't believe it. Is that woman really not going to investigate?
Facts have proved that Uncle Ma is right.
About a week later, the woman didn't come to the door, and there was no news at all.
I couldn't help but give Uncle Ma a thumbs up. I asked Uncle Ma, why didn't the woman want to solve it even though she knew that there was a ghost haunting her? What kind of psychology is this?
Uncle Ma chuckled and said: "There is a kind of person in this world who never wants to go to the hospital. He carries himself when he is sick and is unwilling to have a physical examination for fear of being diagnosed with illness. What do you think the mentality of this kind of person is?"
I understand what Uncle Ma means. That woman is probably sick and refuses to be treated. She hides her illness and avoids medical treatment.
Of course, it may also be because you are afraid of spending money.
So I didn't think about it.
But many things in the world are so strange. The more you pay attention to it, the less it will come to your door. If you ignore it, it will come by itself.
The next morning, the woman came.
Uncle Ma happened to be there too, and the woman was a little embarrassed when she mentioned the divination thing she had done a few days ago. She said that she had asked the elders in her family after returning home, but she didn't get any news.
I just heard that in the past few years, some graves were pushed away due to road construction in the countryside. Compensation was given to the graves with owners, but no one took care of the graves without owners.
Therefore, her family has been thinking about it for the past two days and wants to take time to go back to the old house to find out if the concubine's grave is still there.
As soon as I heard it, I understood that this was not about investigating my aunt's affairs, but that I was going there for the compensation...
But the woman quickly said that she came here today for another reason.
Last night, when her grandma was sleeping, she somehow held her breath and almost died. Thanks to family members who heard the noise and rushed over, they saved the old lady.
Afterwards, the old lady said that she was not holding her breath, but had a nightmare.
In the dream, the concubine was wearing a red cheongsam, with a ferocious look on her face, and she was strangling her neck.
So, she came here today because she wanted to invite us to her home to see what was going on and to perform an exorcism ritual.
