In fact, this matter can be said to be complex, but it can also be said to be simple.
In general, it seems that the child's grandfather nailed a big snake and hurt others, and the big snake might be Baojiaxian, so he came to take revenge.
However, his family does not enshrine Baojiaxian, and he is not sure what the big snake is here for, so he has to do some research to find out.
In fact, there is a way, which is to invite the big snake down and ask and talk about it, but this is very difficult, because it is not easy to talk to the possessed person, and not everything can be invited down by the immortal.
With the idea of giving it a try, I said to them: "Do you want to invite the big snake down and ask?"
The man was a little confused: "Why are you inviting me here? Do you want to get naked?"
I nodded: "I definitely have to get on top, but it's too tough to ask me to come down, and I want to get on top of you... I have to ask for your permission first."
The couple quickly shook their heads: "No, no, no, it's too scary. We haven't experienced anything like this before. We just want to treat our children. Why do we have to do this?"
Seeing that their faces were pale with fright, I said helplessly: "Okay, then I won't invite you. In fact, you may not be able to invite me... In this case, I will teach you a way. Take the child back today and then sit in the yard." Set up a table with 100 eggs on it, as well as roasted chicken, cubed pork, pig heads, three kinds of fruits, and three sticks of incense. After lighting the incense, your whole family knelt down and kowtowed, and sincerely apologized and repented to the Snake Fairy. The child’s grandfather made a mistake unintentionally and did not mean to cause harm. I beg him to help the child’s symptoms disappear and return to normal.”
The man nodded repeatedly, and then said: "I'm afraid we won't be able to do this...otherwise, can you ask two masters to help? I'm afraid that if I make a mistake and offend the snake fairy again, then... Bad dish."
The woman kept echoing, saying that as long as the child gets better, money is not a problem.
Uncle Ma touched his chin and said: "This is not a matter of money. The main thing is to find out what the snake fairy wants to do, kowtow to apologize to others, and put out more offerings. If you need to make offerings, it will not be good for your family." You also have to protect the family immortals.”
The man said: "Okay, okay, these are not problems. Someone once said that my family should protect the family immortals, but my father didn't believe it. Now that he is gone, there is no one to stop him..."
The matter was settled like this. I asked them to go back and make preparations. We made an appointment to go there to worship the snake fairy tomorrow morning.
Of course, it's not just as simple as saying goodbye. I also need to prepare some things here to neutralize the enemies, including ingots, paper money, and some materials to eliminate disasters and atone for sins.
The day passed quickly. Uncle Ma and I took the magic weapon guy and another cart of materials and went to the other party's house according to the address, which was in Wanbao Town, north of the Yangtze River in Harbin.
Someone at this restaurant had been waiting outside to greet us early. When they saw us arriving, they hurriedly welcomed us in, handing us cigarettes and pouring water.
I forgot to mention that this family’s surname is Wang. I don’t remember the boy’s name, and I don’t even remember the girl’s name. Let’s call him Xiao Wang...
When I saw it, they had already bought the offerings, but they didn't dare to put them around. They were neatly stacked on the ground.
So after sitting down and chatting for a while, I directed them to arrange the offerings, while Uncle Ma walked around the house twice, and then asked them, where was the beam where the snake was nailed?
Xiao Wang took us to the middle of the house and said that this house was also an old house. When he gave birth to the child, his father said that there was a big snake coiled in the middle of the beam.
As he spoke, he pointed to the beams and indicated their positions.
More than a year later, the marks on the beams are still clearly visible. There are indeed three holes, and it looks like they were nailed quite deep.
Uncle Ma looked around below, and then asked: "Are the nails used to nail the snake still there?
Xiao Wang said: "It was gone long ago. When he finished nailing, we said he was messing around. Then I went to pull out the nails and threw them away. But I didn't expect that this matter would affect the children..."
Uncle Ma nodded and said nothing more.
Next, we went to the yard, lit incense, and asked the couple to hold their children, kneel on the ground, and begin to apologize devoutly.
There were several immediate family members nearby, and they all knelt down when they saw this.
On the side, Uncle Ma had already put on his Taoist robe, cleared his throat, and said loudly: "Today, the members of the Wang family kneel down to apologize sincerely for the elders of the family who accidentally collided, offended, and hurt the immortal in the past. We have specially prepared a table of various offerings and money. A few gold ingots can resolve grudges and transcend the afterlife. I pray that the next generation of the Wang family, a boy, will be healthy, all diseases will be eliminated, and everything will go smoothly and auspiciously."
After reciting this set of words, Uncle Ma said "thief 6", he knocked on the chime twice with a melodious voice. Then I quickly made gestures to the family. Xiao Wang understood and immediately began to kowtow to admit his mistake.
Next, Uncle Ma started singing sutras again.
This religious ceremony was considered very formal. Although Uncle Ma was the only one, he was able to hold up the scene. He was banging the chime, chanting sutras, and stepping on the Gang steps, making it very formal.
But at this time, the courtyard was quiet, nothing appeared, and nothing happened.
Xiao Wang's family kowtowed for a long time, and Uncle Ma's sutra was almost finished. Then I walked over, took a bottle of wine, opened it, poured three glasses in a row, and sprinkled it on the ground.
"With a glass of wine, I would like to invite the immortal to come to the altar in person."
"Two glasses of wine, let's confess our sins as a family and apologize sincerely."
"Three glasses of wine will eliminate all diseases and pray for peace."
After three glasses of wine in succession, the first two had no reaction, but when it came to the third glass, something strange happened.
As soon as the glass of wine was poured on the ground, a burst of white gas appeared and rose.
At the same time, the three incense sticks also changed. There was obviously no wind around, but the smoke seemed to be guided by something and kept hovering on the table.
It looks like something is enjoying the offering!
Uncle Ma's eyes lit up: "Quick, keep kowtowing."
This was obviously the snake fairy who agreed to reconcile. Xiao Wang was so happy that he kowtowed and kept mumbling.
The ingot materials next to me were already prepared. I took out the written inscription, bowed in front of the table, read the inscription once, and then burned it with the ingot materials.
To put it simply, you must first worship, kneel down, express your sincerity in apologizing, do these things well, and then burn things to send the Qiu Xian away.
And there is a small temple inside. Generally speaking, if Qiu Xian collects this thing, it is equivalent to having his own temple in the Dharma Realm, where he can live and practice.
Soon, all the things were burned, and the ritual was basically completed.
Xiao Wang's family just got up. They knelt for more than half an hour. Their legs were no longer working. They pulled me and Uncle Ma to thank us repeatedly.
Uncle Ma smiled and said, "Don't thank me in a hurry. The matter is done now, but the child still needs a recovery period, and it is impossible to recover immediately. In addition, it depends on the attitude of this snake fairy."
