Seeing this scene, Mr. Li and his wife were stunned, followed by a sense of uneasiness and fear. Mr. Li grabbed my hand and said to me, little master, please save my daughter. As long as she gets better, I am willing to believe in Buddhism for the rest of my life.
I cursed in my heart, I’m a fucking Taoist, what’s the point of telling me to believe in Buddhism? But I still didn't show it, I just said that I would try my best.
Mr. Li's lover asked anxiously, what is the young master going to do now? I told her that a divination had just appeared in the palm of her hand. Although it was not auspicious, it was not particularly dangerous. The child would pass a test on the autumnal equinox. This test was originally determined by the child without any intervention from people like me. It comes from one's own tenacity. If it passes, it will be born but it will be destroyed.
Mr. Li's lover said with a trembling voice, "What does death mean? Does it mean death?" I told her that that was the worst possibility, and it couldn't get any worse, but even if she couldn't die, she might become a lunatic, and then you and your wife would have to serve her for the rest of your life. Life would be worse than death.
I didn't lie to them, it was just that given the current situation, I had to tell them some of the worst-case scenarios. If I couldn't handle the matter, it would be the fate of the little girl, and I might as well have a way out.
In my opinion, this matter needs to be carried out in several steps. The little girl's symptoms have lasted for several months. The most important thing now is not to find a way to remove the root cause, but to protect the little girl herself first. Let her condition continue to deteriorate. Only under this premise can I have time to find the root of the matter. To save my children, I can only rely on soldiers and horses. But before that, I went to the little girl's bed and put a red dot on the center of her forehead with cinnabar.
Cinnabar is, to a certain extent, something that can scare ghosts. I heard Master say that the cinnabar seen in the eyes of ghosts is shining with golden light. That kind of light is very dazzling to ghosts, so that they retreat and stay away from it. This is why many families put a small red dot in the middle of their forehead when dressing up their children. They think this is a long-standing habit and don't know why. In fact, this move was originally intended to ward off evil spirits for their children. But it has been forgotten for many years.
After dotting the cinnabar ink, I gently held the little girl's hand, and while writing golden seals on her palm, I rubbed my palm over her palm and murmured:
"Xuanzong, the root of all the qi in heaven and earth, has been cultivated for hundreds of millions of kalpas to prove my magical powers. The only one inside and outside the three realms is the Tao. The golden light covers my body. I can't see or hear it. It embraces the heaven and earth and nourishes all living beings. All the gods worship and serve with thunder, ghosts, demons, and ghosts become timid and die." In the shape, there is the Thunder God, the Hidden Name Cave, the Wisdom, and the Five Qi. The golden light appears quickly! It is as urgent as a law!"
This Golden Light Divine Mantra must be recited at the beginning of entry. Its purpose is to respectfully invite the gods to protect the body of the victim from being invaded by evil things by using lightning and electricity. It is a means of protecting children. Of course there are many other spells like this, but I remember this one more familiarly.
Then he grabbed the child's other hand and did the same thing, but this time it was a calming seal drawn and the calming mantra was recited:
"The divine soldiers in the world, the essence of the Eight Diagrams, captured the divine generals, and sat down to comfort me. When I heard the mantra, I arrived quickly. I can be psychic in all things. I will report everything without exception. I must not disobey the order. I serve the Supreme Lord as urgently as the law dictates!"
This is easier to understand. Laojun is one of the Three Pure Ones and can command the soldiers and horses of the three realms. The function of the Calming Mantra is to calm people's minds and not be affected. The trouble is that this mantra needs to be recited three times, which is relatively troublesome. . In this way, the golden light magic spell and the calming spell were cast at the same time, and the little girl was protected both internally and externally, and I had enough time to investigate the cause.
Next, it's time for me to unleash my troops. Since I learned the art of war and horsemanship from my master, I have made a little progress now, but I can still only control rampant soldiers, which is the lowest type. But when faced with the incident at Mr. Li's house, I asked the soldiers to divide into two groups, one to protect the people and the other to investigate the matter. The little girl was already very safe under the protection of the two spells, and with the addition of the soldiers and horses, It was even more foolproof, and when I lit three sticks of incense in my hand and asked the soldiers to show me the way, the incense was floating and took me directly into the little girl's room again, and lingered beside the closed wardrobe. , meaning that there is an answer, or the next clue, in the closet.
Although I had long expected that the problem was something in the wardrobe, Mr. Li, who was revealed in the circle light technique at first, also confirmed that he thought it was the belt he used in his early years in the army. So I asked Mr. Li and his wife to open the closet door, take out everything inside, and place them on the ground one by one. This must be done before my three incense sticks are burned out, so that I can give the incense according to the price. Trends to determine which thing is the problem.
Knowing that time was tight, the couple quickly filled the floor. This wardrobe was used by the whole family. In addition to a small amount of children's clothes, most of them belonged to adults. I thought it was almost done, so I continued to let the soldiers and horses lead the way. I squatted down, held the incense in one hand, and placed the incense tree roughly in the middle of the many clothes, and then let the incense float freely.
After a few seconds, the originally scattered incense began to gather into a thin white line, and then fell down and landed on a plaid tie.
I picked up the tie and looked at Mr. Li. This tie is obviously his thing. It is a zipper tie, specially prepared for those who don't know how to tie a tie. They only need to put one on the neck and then zip it up. Although it is not the shape of a long rope that appeared in the bowl at first, if the knot is removed, it will still be a long rope.
Mr. Li was very surprised. Like me, he must have preconceived the problem that the problem should be with the military belt. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a tie. He stammered and told me, "There's a ghost in this tie?" I told him that there is nothing wrong with a tie, but the way your child is doing now has something to do with this tie. Now tell me, where did you get this tie?
Mr. Li’s lover said that this tie belonged to her father. His father passed away four years ago. After his death, the brothers and sisters in the family each selected some of the old man’s relics to keep as a memorial. Mr. Li chose this tie at that time and has kept it as a souvenir and has never worn it.
After hearing her say this, I had a vague guess in my mind. But it is still too early to draw conclusions at this moment. In the past few years of following Master, I have gradually learned to use guesses as arguments to prove, and these guesses all come from the accumulation of experience. Hearing Mr. Li's lover talk about a deceased family member made this suspicion much more likely.
So I asked them, do you worship on time every year? The old man liked you before he was alive. Did he like children? Mr. Li said that every year during the Qingming Festival and Spring Festival, he would definitely go to visit the tombs and pay homage. My father-in-law was a well-educated person and was happy to meet everyone. His children were also very filial and he was very happy in his old age, so he should He still likes us. However, the old man had never seen this child. He had passed away three months before she was born.
I thought to myself, if the old man's children are filial and happy in his old age, then he should accept his own death relatively smoothly, which means that he should take the initiative to die within 49 days after his death. This is inconsistent with the order in which this little girl was born.
At this time, Mr. Li's wife started crying. She said that she was more than six months pregnant at the time. After her father passed away, she had to hold a funeral for three days. The elderly in the family blocked her, saying that pregnant women should not attend. Even my own father can't do it at the funeral. Let Mr. Li perform his filial piety on his behalf. The old man will understand. At that time, I refused to say anything. After all, he was my father. However, my mother and mother-in-law advised me to be obedient. In ordinary situations, I have a strong Yin energy, which is prone to ghosts of happiness and mourning, and only targets the weak. For those who are in a bad mood, if you don’t think about yourself, you should also think about the child in your belly.
I nodded. In fact, what the old man said is right. No matter what stage of pregnancy you are in, it is not good to attend a funeral. At most, you can only worship on the spot, and you need to leave as soon as possible. The scope of the mourning hall is usually It is taboo for pregnant women to enter. After all, one is dying and the other is about to give birth. These two different states conflict with each other. However, this situation often goes against the Chinese ethics of loyalty and filial piety. When your father passes away, it is actually human nature to want to fulfill your filial piety before his death.
The happy and mourning ghosts mentioned by the old people are indeed one of the fierce ghosts. The so-called happiness mostly refers to marriage, birthday, etc. Mourning means funeral. On such occasions, relatives and friends are usually invited to gather together. Once there are too many people, it is impossible to know everyone. Even if everyone knows each other, they won’t know everyone’s family members. But if someone wears black and white plain clothes during a happy event, or someone wears floral clothes or red clothes during a funeral, and you don’t know this person, it is very likely to be a happy and mourning ghost. This kind of ghost will look for If you attack the person who is most easily influenced, you may become seriously ill or die.
So I asked Mr. Li’s lover, then you didn’t go in the end, right? She nodded and said that she kowtowed towards the mourning hall at home and asked Mr. Li to burn incense and worship on her behalf. Later, before giving birth, I had intermittent dreams for a while, in which I dreamed of my father, but when I woke up, I didn't pay much attention to it.
It suddenly occurred to me that dreams during pregnancy, especially dreams about dead people, would be somewhat of a reference, so I asked her, when your father passed away, you were more than six months pregnant. He knew that, right? Mr. Li's lover said that of course he knew. When his father was already ill, he had just become pregnant, so he immediately told his father the news, hoping to use it to cheer his father up. His father was very happy at the time and kept delaying. He died five or six months later. After his death, my mother said that if your father hadn't wanted to see his grandson in person, he probably wouldn't have been able to delay it for so long. Unexpectedly, he still couldn't wait.
At this point, the couple suddenly became quiet and looked at each other. I think they should be thinking of the same place as me.
