Hearing Xiaoqing's words, Meng Yifan and I turned a little pale.
"Master Xiaoqing, how do you say this..."
"You have the aura of more than one ghost in you."
Xiao Qing said bluntly: "These two spirits have grievances against each other. I will invite one of the ghosts up later. If she smells this grievance, she may lose control. Can you understand what I mean?"
We both nodded quickly.
What this means is that the girl who knocked on the door has a grudge against Li Xiumei, and Li Xiumei has a grudge against the girl who knocked on the door.
If Li Xiumei is invited up later and smells the scent of the girl knocking on the door, she may lose control and do something detrimental to Meng Yifan and me.
"These two jade tokens are not valuable, but I soaked them in menstrual blood. The breath of the maiden can block those two resentments." Xiao Qing added.
Menstrual blood…
Isn't that the blood that a woman bleeds when she comes to visit her aunt...
Although we were a little embarrassed, we couldn't care less, so we quickly put it in our pockets and expressed our thanks to Xiaoqing again.
This is really a good person to meet.
I hope God can bless Xiao Qing, a miserable person, to live a few more years.
Next, Master Qi told us some precautions for supporting the Qi. He warned us that we must abide by these regulations and not violate any of them. If we do, the Fu Qi will fail at best, or serious trouble may occur.
Meng Yifan and I are both mature people, so we are naturally obedient and will not mess around.
After talking about the precautions, we entered the community together.
While waiting for the elevator downstairs in the third unit, I noticed an old lady from a distance.
I had met that old lady before, and it was she who told me that the house had been sold once before.
The old lady also saw us. She seemed to be walking downstairs. As soon as she saw us, she hurried away as if she thought we were the plague.
I was in a hurry to get down to business and didn't go over to say hello to her.
But I think the old lady may know something about that house, but she doesn’t want to say it.
When I have time, I must visit her and ask her about it.
After a while the elevator came and we got on the elevator and went straight to the fifth floor.
Meng Yifan and I were very nervous when we returned to this house again.
The house has been temporarily sealed. We were not supposed to come in, so we didn't dare to make any noise. After entering the house, we closed all the doors and windows first.
Since Li Xiumei died in the master bedroom, according to Master Qi, we should perform the supporting ceremony in the master bedroom.
But the space of the master bedroom is too small, so we can only do the rest in the living room, but we need to open the door of the master bedroom.
After finishing the preparations, Qi Ye put down his backpack and began to arrange the formation.
This formation has no name. Master Qi said that this formation was not included in the original support ceremony. It was inherited by the people and improved by ancestors based on experience to ensure safety during the support process.
Some modern rituals such as inviting the Brush Immortal and inviting the Dish Immortal are actually evolved from the ancient rituals. They are simplified versions of the rituals. The success rate is relatively low, and the accident rate after success is relatively high.
Meng Yifan and I couldn't understand these doorways, so we saw Master Qi take out eight command flags of different colors from his backpack, stand them in eight directions, and then use a red rope to connect the eight command flags together.
Xiaoqing explained that the position of the eight flags represents the position of the Eight Diagrams of the day after tomorrow.
And Bagua occupies an extremely important position in metaphysics.
In addition, Master Qi also lit sixty-four white candles around the flags, eight of which were right next to the eight flags.
It is said that these sixty-four white candles represent the sixty-four hexagrams of King Wen, and these sixty-four hexagrams represent the sum of the images of all things.
Therefore, the composition of this formation can be regarded as a small holographic universe, which isolates the inside and outside of the formation to prevent any accidents from happening after the ghosts are invited, thereby harming innocent people.
To put it simply, you can invite us back just as you invited them here. This formation serves as a guarantee and can also help us communicate with the ghosts.
The formation was quickly set up, and Meng Yifan, Xiao Qing, and I all sat cross-legged inside the formation.
The position where we sit is also very particular. Xiaoqing is sitting in the 'Kun' position in the Bagua, which is the southwest direction.
In the Bagua, 'Kun' is mother and Yin, and Xiaoqing is woman and Yin.
Meng Yifan and I were sitting in the 'Li' position, facing south. Li is fire, and it is also Yin in the Houtian Bagua.
Both are yin and are not mutually exclusive.
Moreover, the five-element attribute of 'Li' belongs to fire, and the five-element attribute of Kun belongs to earth.
Among the Five Elements, fire generates earth, which means I vent my anger on him. Translated, it means I want to please you, which has shown my sincerity.
After everything was ready, Master Qi held a copper bell and walked around outside the formation, shaking it constantly.
The copper bell is called Sanqing Bell, and the sound it makes is clear and pleasant to the ears. Although the sound is loud, it does not make people feel noisy at all.
Master Qi said that the ringtone was to prevent ghosts from confusing us and to keep us sane.
In addition to the ringtones, Qi Ye was also singing scriptures that we couldn’t understand, and we didn’t know which religion they were from.
Meng Yifan and I were sitting in the formation with a brazier in front of us.
Inside the brazier are yellow papers that we keep throwing in.
According to what Master Qi said, we have to keep burning these yellow papers until the ghosts invited are sent away, so we cannot interrupt in the middle.
Next, we have to start the formal soul calling process.
"There are evil spirits on earth. The flower girl Li Xiumei was twenty-three years old. She died unexpectedly on the twenty-threeth year. She entered the City of Wasted Death and begged the light to lead her back..."
The two of us read the soul-calling documents taught to us by Master Qi.
If everything goes well, Li Xiumei's ghost will soon possess Ji Tong.
But the strange thing is that Meng Yifan and I read it several times in succession, but Xiaoqing, as a child, never responded at all.
She sat there with her head lowered and her long hair disheveled. Although the ghost had not yet appeared on her body, she looked like a female ghost under the candlelight...
Seeing that Meng Yifan and I didn't succeed, we quickly looked at Qi Ye.
Originally, I was about to say the word 'Seventh Master', but suddenly I remembered his previous instructions and quickly changed my words: "Yanzu, it didn't work..."
Master Qi was also stunned, stopped reciting the scriptures, thought for a while and asked us: "How many names does she have?"
I was stunned for a moment and suddenly remembered that Li Xiumei's original name was Li Yujiao. She changed her name to Li Xiumei after she committed a crime. However, the name Li Xiumei did not last long before she died.
So Meng Yifan and I read the soul-calling documents again and changed Li Xiumei's name to Li Yujiao.
This time we only read it once, but the whole living room suddenly changed.
I was horrified to find the shadows of Meng Yifan and me. It seems to have disappeared...
