Master asked Doctor Huang, is the doctor's office on this floor also closed during this period? Doctor Huang said yes. Ever since the accident happened to the old man in the ward, he had asked the doctors to temporarily work at the nurse's side during this period. The reason given was maintenance. Master asked again, that is to say, if I want to check a patient's information, I can find it in the doctor's office, right?
Dr. Huang said that this is theoretically true, but it is difficult to determine when the patient who died before this ghost was alive, and it may take a lot of time to find it. The master said that there was nothing to worry about. Rumors of being haunted began to appear in the hospital almost a month ago. In other words, this person died a month ago. And there have been no haunting incidents before. This proves that the day when this ghost appeared was not long ago, most likely around the forty-nine day, so I searched for this date and found the matching conditions. , and the range of people who have lived in Ward No. 209 is even smaller, so it is actually not difficult.
Then Master told me to stay in the nurse's station and take a good rest, while he followed Dr. Huang to open the door of the doctor's office on the second floor and search for relevant information. The nurses on duty at the nursing station kept looking at me with a strange look. They must have guessed something. I was worried that someone would get curious and ask about this or that, so I simply closed my eyes and started pretending to sleep. I was so busy just now. After a while, I was indeed tired, so I took the opportunity to take a rest.
I don’t remember exactly how long it took, but Master and Dr. Huang came over with several patient treatment records. Master pointed to the names on them and said, these people were all people who died in this hospital during that period. Their What they have in common is that they have all lived in Ward 209, and they are all elderly women.
Master handed me the information and asked me to compare it to see which one was closer to the ghost I had fought with before. But there was no photo on the treatment sheet, only a name. Although the height and weight were written, it seemed that all the elderly people of this age were about the same. So I told Master that I couldn't tell the difference. Master thought for a while and then left the nurse's station. Not long after, he came back with a stick of incense in his hand. Only then did I know that he had gone to that room to light the incense of soldiers and horses and asked the soldiers and horses to help him find it. Master asked me to lay out the pages of information on the table. As soon as I laid them out, Bing Ma Xiang went straight towards one of the pages.
Master picked up the page, looked at it, and then handed it to me. This was an old lady named Du, who was born in 1919 and died exactly forty-nine days before the first haunting. The error rate of finding people by soldiers and horses is very low, but I don’t know where the master found the clues to let the soldiers and horses lead the way. Master told me that you just fought so hard in that room, and that room was full of ghosts. The clues were easily found. Now that the three most important things including name, birth date, and death taboo are ready, all we need to do next is to lure out this ghost.
The so-called "art masters are bold" is probably referring to people like Master. Generally speaking, we normal people can't hide when we encounter ghosts, but he insists on trying to lure them out. So I asked Master, are you trying to summon spirits? The master shook his head and said that it is impossible to summon the spirit now, because it has suffered losses and will not cooperate so obediently. We have to think of other ways, but before that, we have to make a trap for it so that it can't get in or get out.
Master said that judging from past events, the location where it appeared was only the stairs between Ward 209 and the second and third floors, and the people it possessed were all weak. Possession still has a certain degree of chance and randomness, but we cannot ignore this possibility, so I want to find someone to be a bait, a weak person, so as to give it a chance to possess. I asked Master, everyone on the whole floor is probably talking about this matter now, who will volunteer to come forward and cooperate with you to possess the ghost?
After finishing speaking, everyone was quiet. Doctor Huang and Master looked at me with their eyes, which seemed to say, "Aren't you just a ready-made person?" I thought to myself, right? I just suffered a big loss, and now you want me to go? But I think this is probably the only way. Now the master can control and cooperate, and the body is relatively weak. Looking at it, I am afraid that I am the only one.
The master said, don't worry, I just need you to be a bait, and I won't let it really possess you. As soon as it enters the range of the trap, you can escape immediately, and this trap cannot trap you. . I asked the master what you were going to do. The master said, you seem to be fine, or you can come with me to set up the formation.
So I got up and followed the master and walked towards 209, but the master did not enter the ward. Instead, he took me directly along the stairs to the third floor. I took the key from Dr. Huang and locked the door on the third floor. Then Master spread a layer of incense ash under the door cracks on the first step of the stairs going up to the third floor and the corridor door on the third floor.
Master carries some incense ash, rice, salt and other things with him in his bag, because these things can block ghost marriages and can be used to set up formations. Then the master took out a separate stick of incense, and instead of lighting it, he stood it on the ashes. Because the incense ash was only a thin layer, there was no way to insert it, so I leaned it against the stairs and the door. Then Master went downstairs again, sprinkled incense ashes on the stairs from the second floor to the first floor, and placed an incense stick as usual. Then he walked towards the second floor. This time, starting from the entrance to the corridor, he used incense ash to draw a small arc on the ground, just like the edge of a runway, connecting the corridor door on the second floor and the door of Ward 209. He got up, then walked into the ward again, and built a layer on the edge of the open window in the same way, but this time he deliberately left a hole unclosed. I knew that it was to leave an entrance for the ghost. So that it can enter the formation laid down.
In this way, the area from the window of 209 to the third floor is surrounded by a large circle of incense ash. As long as the ghost appears again, within this range, it will be able to catch it. Master told me that the reason why the scope of the stairs was included was because the ghost had appeared in that place before and had been witnessed twice, so this clue could not be let go. At the same time, after the scope became larger, it was also left to the ghost. There is room to escape, so that you will not fight to the death with us when you are cornered.
Then Master placed seven candles in the center of the ward to form the shape of the Big Dipper and lit the candles. This is a seven-star lamp with many uses. One of its functions is to guide ghosts and attract them to come. Master pointed to the bed in the inner ward, which was the bed where the old man possessed me in the first place, and said to me, you can sit on the bed later, and as soon as you see me closing the formation with incense ash, you can immediately open the door and face me. Run outside the formation.
I nodded in agreement, but I didn't understand. Although I understood these things, how could Master attract this ghost out? The master smiled and said, you still remember that when we just started investigating, you performed the water bowl round light technique once, do you remember? I said I remembered it, but the image didn't look like this old lady. It didn't even look like a woman, but a man. Master took out the treatment record with this ghost on it and told me, look at the bottom, the family column, whether the name looks like a man's name or a woman's.
I looked carefully and saw three words written on it: Hu Shengli.
It's obviously a man's name. Since they are family members, this Hu Shengli is probably either her husband or her son. The old lady was born in 1919. Since that year, China has been devastated by war. The real victory occurred at the end of the Anti-Japanese War in 1945. People of this era would like to name people with words that reflect the current situation. That is to say, this Hu Shengli should not be her husband, but her child. In 1945, this ghost was already 26 years old. Women in the old society generally gave birth relatively early, and 26 years old was considered relatively old. There is only one name in the family column, which means that this is his only son.
Master said that with your level of round light technique, what you can find is often the root cause of this matter. This root is very likely to be the main reason for the ghost to remain. If the mind is calm, then that's fine, we just need to solve the problem, but as today's ghost is full of hostility and violence, it is not difficult to guess that when it died, it was filled with resentment. If the man in your round light technique is Hu Shengli, if he is the condition that caused the existence of this ghost and caused its roughness, it means that the relationship between this ghost and Hu Shengli is actually very bad.
The master added, and then made a bold guess that when it was dying, its only relative did something to hurt it. This should be the main reason why it turned into an evil ghost. The ghosts always appear with cries, and the reason why they cry is because they are sad, so I basically conclude that this Hu Shengli is the person that the ghost cares about the most, but he is not a filial son!
I nodded secretly. Master's calculation ability has always been beyond my reach. If I were a terminally ill dying person, and my only son ignored me before he died, or even refused to let me die, I think I would be full of resentment. It’s just that this injustice has its owner. Even if it wants revenge, it should seek revenge from its son. Why did it attack me out of nowhere?
Master said that the few times it appeared before, it didn't really hurt people. She might be trying to attract attention and make people aware of her existence. And we came here to take it away. This is to make it feel a sense of crisis. This is probably why it attacks you.
I nodded and asked Master what should I do now? Master opened his palm to me and said, please give me back the Luban ruler I gave you before. I am going to make amulets.
