Song Siyuan understood that since the woman who had been in contact with Tian Liumei randomly developed nightmare symptoms due to studying Nvshu, this meant that she must have been targeted by the remnants of the Taiping Army. If not, she would not have only appeared in On the Nvwazi who is learning Nvshu.
Although Tian Liumei didn't know her role clearly, at least she had something the Taiping Army wanted. Wanting to understand this, she looked at Tian Liumei: "Mother Tian, we also want you to go to Hu's house. Mrs. Hu's granddaughter, Miss Shu, seems to be having nightmares now."
"Oh, it's her, I remembered it." Tian Liumei put down her needlework: "Not long ago, this girl asked me to learn female calligraphy and took away several volumes of female red books. I was wondering how old she was. At her age, she had already gone to a girls' school to study nüshu. However, since she was willing to learn, I simply taught her some pronunciation. I was still wondering why she didn't come? Still in trouble, you guys When I finish getting my things, I will take you down immediately." The old concubine walked into the main room where she lived, and took out a small box made of bamboo and wood from it: "Let's go." After saying this, Yue Guanchao took the old lady out. Shan, when they returned to Hu's house, the old servant was already waiting for them at the door.
"Oh, you are back. The old lady said why you haven't come back in the evening. We have already planned to go up the mountain to find you. Miss Shu has started to have nightmares again."
"Just in time, we have invited Granny Tian here." Without further ado, Yue Guanchao and the others took Tian Liumei to the backyard. The eldest daughter of the Hu family had been tied to a chair by them. This time, she thought she was better than before. What's worse, even if his wrists are tied, he can still see his fingernails scratching the seat, and the white jade-like nails have left bloody marks.
"Mrs. Hu." Tian Liumei saluted and said to her: "Tell everyone else to leave. Only some strong old ladies will be left in the young lady's room so that I can treat her."
"Taoist Master Jin, you have all worked hard. Go outside and have a sip of tea to moisten your throat." Everyone understood and gradually pushed out of the courtyard. When Song Siyuan was about to leave, Tian Liumei quickly stopped her: "Yao Meier, you stay here. , these old ladies are useless, Miss Shu is young, you are here to help her." After that, after everyone walked out of the room, several old ladies closed the door completely.
Tian Liumei put the bamboo box on the table. After opening it, there were gold chisels and silver needles, medicine bottles and pills, and many other things they didn't know about.
She took out a white porcelain bottle and poured out a few black pills from it: "This is the mandala pill. It can make Miss Shu less uncomfortable when she loses consciousness." Tian Liumei picked up the teacup and asked the old lady to open her mouth and use Warm tea was given to the pills. After Miss Shu swallowed the pills, her frenzied body gradually subsided, and finally she closed her eyes.
"Let go." These old ladies let go of Miss Shu, and Tian Liumei took out a bundle of rope as thin as chopsticks from her pocket.
This rope is completely red, with a round and shiny surface, and different weaving patterns. Every half finger is tied with a copper bell the size of a fingernail, about 108 bells from beginning to end.
"Yaomei'er, help me hold the rope and tie her up." Song Siyuan took the rope and followed Tian Liumei to Miss Shu. The old concubine picked up the rope and wrapped it around her neck a few times. The roll then moved from the neck to the shoulders, elbows, heart, intestines, thighs and other parts. I don’t know what they are used for.
After being tied up from head to toe, Miss Shu's body had been tied up so that there was no room for movement. She was like a tied up rice dumpling. At Tian Liumei's signal, the old woman carried Miss Shu and put her into the bed curtain. Then, She took out the cinnabar and said, "Are there any gold foils or gold leaves that can be crushed into powder?"
"Yes, I remember that Shu girl folded the gold ingots for me to worship the Buddha, and some of the gold foil has not been used up." After saying that, a maid searched the study table and took out a pile of golden leaves. Tian Sixth Sister picked up the gold foil and put it into a small bowl made of black stone. She took out a bottle from the box and poured in the clear oil. She used a medicine pestle to crush the cinnabar, gold foil and clear oil into a rich liquid.
Then, she picked up a fine pen, dipped it in bright red gold foil oil, and began to write strange symbols on Miss Shu's face, neck and body. These symbols were divided by ropes and evenly distributed on her face. On the body, Bai Xueshayi seemed to be soaked in blood and covered with strange red symbols.
Then, according to her prior instructions, these old women picked up the copper basin of the third brother and burned countless ingots and paper money inside. When the fire burned completely, they covered the copper basin with a copper cage. Under the lick of the flames, the copper cage It quickly became hot, steaming the surrounding air like a summer afternoon, flowing with a rustle.
"Bring the bronze mirrors over here, and aim the three bronze mirrors at Miss Shu." The old woman picked up the bronze mirrors from the study, stood behind the fire cage, and lined them up to form a curved arc. These bronze mirrors were polished and used for dressing. It is extremely smooth and the mirror surface is clear and clear. Standing behind the fire cage, the firelight passes directly through the bronze mirror and is all concentrated on the bed.
In an instant, the bed curtains were shrouded in golden light, and the brightness increased greatly, as if they were illuminated by hundreds of candles. Even the runes on the body became bright and shiny in this brightness, the red of cinnabar and the red of gold. The brightness of yellow and clear oil are completely mixed together, as if the runes are emitting some spiritual light, which makes people's eyes blurry.
Tian Liumei took out a gong from her backpack, with a small hammer wrapped in red satin velvet. She raised her arms and started beating it, muttering: "If your heart is as clear as ice, you will not be surprised when the sky falls. You will remain calm in all changes, and you will feel happy." Quiet, untouched by dirt, untainted by the common world, peaceful in the void, mixed with nothing, nothing comes into being, difficulty and ease complement each other, parts and things are forgotten, it is the same as nirvana, the sky and the earth are boundless, all things are one, flying flowers and falling leaves, as open-minded as a valley , all kinds of worries, before I put my mind to it, I raise my brows, the spiritual platform is clear, my heart is clear, my mind is unobsessed, my heart is clear and my mind is free, there is no soul, the water is flowing without being surprised, I don’t care about the clouds late, I am unobtrusive Things are free from the past and present." When reciting the incantation, Tian Liumei spoke in Huxiang dialect, with a lot of strange sounds and vibrato. Although she could hear the words clearly, if she didn't feel it carefully, she would just feel that it was some mysterious and mysterious incantation. , noisy and noisy, it makes people’s ears and eyes hurt, and makes people can’t help but stay away.
The old concubine was noisy until the end. She threw up a handful of yellow paper talisman coins, held the seal in her hand and muttered: "My little sister, you are young and beautiful. Don't be anxious, don't panic, don't be tired, or have evil spirits in your body. Listen to me and sing the incantation." , demons, monsters, mountain spirits and ghosts, don’t love the world, leave quickly, Laojun Buddha, the true king of heaven, my disciples are not talented, pray for the spirit to punish the evil, moo evil and moo Luo are as urgent as the order!" Just wait for her second time! Throwing up the yellow paper talisman money, Miss Shu, who had her eyes closed at first, opened them at some point. However, she seemed to be unconscious, and kept her eyes open. Under the golden light, even the color in her pupils had faded, and they were bloodshot. Flowing, eyes turning frequently.
"Ah~"
