Chapter 79. [Case Thirteen] Duke Duan, surnamed Deng
"Bang Lao Er" is generally called in southwest China, such as Sichuan, Chongqing, Guizhou, Yunnan and other places. It originally meant a person who blocks the road and robs people and robs people and money in a violent way. In a broad sense, it means a bandit. With the times,
With the development of the world, there are no longer bandits or bandits, but in the world of ghosts and gods, stick dicks have always existed.
Banglaoer is actually a kind of lonely ghost, and the name Banglaoer is just a title given by people in the industry based on their behavior. Most of them are people who have no place to die, or who were killed during their lifetime.
They have done so many evil deeds that they have no name or status after death. They cannot go to heaven or collect anything in the earth. They can only wander aimlessly in the world. However, it is very miserable if no one pays tribute to them, so they go to rob others.
Sacrifice. I once said a long time ago that when a person dies, a slightly more refined family will burn a pile of money paper when he dies, which is called "lucky money". This money is not used for memorial.
, but to collect the money and paper ashes and put them into the small pouch of the deceased's shroud. This money cannot be used by the deceased himself, but is used to pass on the "travel money" of the robbers on the road. The robbers here
Imps refer to Bang Lao Er. But Bang Lao Er does not only appear when the deceased dies. It can be said that they are almost everywhere.
We usually blow up firecrackers when visiting graves. There is a big misunderstanding in this. Many people think that blowing up firecrackers when visiting graves is to tell the deceased relatives that we are here to visit your graves. In fact, in traditional
In funeral customs, going to graves to explode firecrackers is similar to exploding firecrackers during the Chinese New Year. During the Chinese New Year, the sound of firecrackers is to scare away the New Year beast, while visiting the grave is to scare away the thieves who are robbing wealth around you. There may be many.
The person who was entrusted with the dream had a similar experience. One night, he dreamed of a deceased relative at home, saying that he had no money, no clothes, or was short of this or that. Often after waking up from the dream, he would regard him as an ordinary person.
In my dream, in fact, if you think back carefully, you will realize that the last time you visited the grave, you did not explode the firecrackers. Of course, this is not absolute, but at least I have encountered many similar situations. After finding me afterwards,
Looking back, they will tell me that I didn't explode the firecrackers.
So this means that when you think you are giving money and incense to your ancestors, in fact, your ancestors may not have received it and were robbed by the gangsters on the road. Judging from the symptoms of Aunt Deng’s daughter, it is a typical sign of a ghost.
Sick, this is a rural area, and there are no other graves next to this grave, so it is more likely that the second son is a lonely ghost nearby. Judging from the current situation of Aunt Deng's daughter, it is really likely that she was killed by that man.
I was right, I was entangled by a sinister person, and this sinister person is the second best guy.
But a new problem comes again. Sticky dicks and lingering people will not be around, because they neither belong to the human world nor strictly speaking to another world, but wander between the two, fighting here and there.
A guy who shoots in the west. So it is quite difficult to find the specific "it". I can't even determine whether it is "it" or "them" that is pestering the girl. At this time, Hu Zongren suddenly asked Deng
The aunt said, aunt, please give me your daughter's birth date and horoscope, and I will ask someone to help me take a look. Aunt Deng said this thing can still be read? Is it for fortune telling? Hu Zongren said it is not fortune telling, but taking it.
Go check out your daughter's horoscope.
I think it might be difficult for Aunt Deng to understand for a while. Hu Zongren did not explain it in detail to her, but just told her that your daughter's situation is more complicated at present. If we just rely on guessing, it will waste a lot of time.
, and may still take many detours. Time is very precious now. The sooner you figure it out, the less your daughter will suffer. Listening to Hu Zongren’s sincere words, Aunt Deng told us her daughter’s birth date,
After Hu Zongren typed and recorded it on his mobile phone, he used my mobile phone to call Granny Huang.
After picking up the phone, Hu Zongren started to pretend to be pitiful and said, Godmother, please do me a favor. Lao Li and I are encountering something right now, and we can't find the reason. I need your help to find out. I
Give you your date of birth and name. After Hu Zongren explained for a while, Granny Huang said that Fu Yunni is at her place now and will call us back when she gets the answer. After hanging up the phone, Hu Zongren said to Aunt Deng, then let’s
Let's go back to your house first. This walk is very labor-intensive and you need to wait for a while. Aunt Deng said, will there be an extra charge? I couldn't help laughing. This aunt is really honest. Hu Zongren said
, this can be regarded as a gift. Making money is one thing, but you can’t make up recipes to make money. The main purpose is to save your daughter.
It was about 11 o'clock, and Granny Huang still didn't call back. Hu Zongren got a little anxious after waiting, so he sent a text message to Fu Yunni to ask if Granny Huang had done it, but Fu Yunni scolded her in the text message, saying that you were panicking.
Mao, did you eat chicken shit? Hu Zongren could only continue to wait and dare not say anything. So I said that Hu Zongren is really a bitch, and he would not feel comfortable unless he was scolded. At about 11:30, Aunt Deng
He brought out some dishes from the kitchen and said that with so many things going on at home recently, he didn't have the time to prepare anything delicious. You two little brothers, just eat some to satisfy your hunger. Hu Zongren and I were also polite.
Then we started to eat. Although the food was simple, the authentic farm food was still enough. Halfway through the meal, Aunt Deng answered the phone. After hanging up the phone, she told us that Mr. Duan had come back from town and would be here later.
When he arrived, he came back by himself on a motorcycle.
This Duan Gong is considered the main family. In many places, the occupations of Duan Gong are not very clear. They often classify people in the countryside who use witchcraft to pray for children and rain, and people who use Taoism to subjugate and eliminate demons.
Those who perform funeral arrangements for the deceased are collectively called Duan Gong. In fact, these three types belong to three different religious sects. Witchcraft is from Zhu You, which is my family. Taoism is from Hu Zongren’s family, and
On the other hand, most of the Yin and Yang masters have very complex studies, and they know some Taoism, but they mostly lead the way for the souls of the dead. They still rely on the Buddhist Ksitigarbha Sutra, so they are more Buddhist. The authentic Duan Gong actually refers to
My main family member Zhu Youke is the most common master dancer in the countryside. Duan Gong usually does divination, and the tools for divination are often tortoise shells. For Buddhists, they are mostly bamboo sticks or horn cards, and for Taoists, even more so.
There are many, but they generally don’t use horns, because cows’ noses can’t kill each other. So in my eyes, the image of Duan Gong is basically the same as those of masters wearing robes, and they don’t dress differently.
It's different, how can you make trouble and pretend to be a ghost? However, when Aunt Deng told me that Duan Gong was about to come back on his motorcycle, that picture appeared in my mind, and I found it a bit funny.
I had just smoked a cigarette after finishing my meal when I heard a screeching sound like a fart from a motorcycle in the distance. Then a motorcycle stopped behind my car, and a man who looked about 50 years old got out of the car.
, short in stature, with messy hair, wearing a beige suit. The suit looks like the kind of cheap goods found on street stalls, but it is very uncoordinated to wear a pair of blue and white polka dot sleeves. There is a stick in his mouth.
Yan walked towards us, and he didn't seem to have any sense of immortality at all. If I didn't say that this was the gentleman, I would have thought that he was just an ordinary farmer.
He walked up to us, looked at me and Hu Zongren for a while, and then passed us directly to say hello to Aunt Deng. Aunt Deng introduced us to Mr. Duan, and we also stood up and saluted politely. Judging from his age, he must be
Elders, I just don’t know whether this skill is just a name or a real skill. Aunt Deng told us that Master Duangong is also named Deng. Deng is the main surname in the village. When something happens to any family in the village, it is usually...
I don’t charge much for asking Master Deng for help. I just want to get some eggs or something, but I never give it for free. So I asked Master Deng with a smile, and I said that I am also a Wu family. I don’t know what Master Deng is, what are you mainly doing?
There is something going on in the village.
Because I know that experts are often among the people. After Aunt Deng's family had an accident, she must have sought out Master Deng immediately. And I think Master Deng also encountered the same problem as Hu Zongren and I, so he did not continue to rescue. This
Only then did I tell Aunt Deng that the girl was entangled by a sinister person, but she guessed the reason wrongly. She did not step on someone else's grave, but fell into the trick of a stickman. Master Deng told us that when he was young, he was better than
Now it’s much more powerful. There is basically no problem in the village that cannot be solved by yourself. For example, if an elder is dead and can’t sleep, or wild animals come from the mountains, or it doesn’t rain for a long time, the crops are not harvested.
I can solve everything by myself. I was immediately in awe. Although these may not sound like a big deal, in rural areas, this is a matter of great virtue. My master did the same thing as Master Deng in the early years before he started to specialize in catching ghosts.
Pretty much the same, but my master’s main job was to see the crops and see the doctor, or if a child had hiccups, fish sting, or was frightened at night, etc. It was not until later that he slowly started to go further and further on the ghost path, and finally became a master.
.
After I told Master Deng about the situation that Hu Zongren and I had investigated before, he said that he only guessed that it was a Yin person, but he didn't expect it to be Banglao Er. This little girl has always been very kind to people at home and in the village.
Everyone likes her, but something like this suddenly happened. I don’t know if it’s a fate that is destined to happen, or if it’s really bad luck. It’s a good thing that you two young people can come to help. I’m getting older and there are things I can’t do, so please give me a lot of help.
You guys.
Master Deng seemed to have lost a lot of teeth, and his speech was a bit rough. It was originally a funny tone, but when he said it so earnestly, I was a little touched. Hu Zongren and I continued to talk with Master Deng about our previous discoveries.
I began to respect this master more and more, not because of his identity or current living conditions, but because of his mentality of returning to his original nature and having nothing to do with the world. As we got chatting, he even decided to stay and follow us.
Together, there are multiple people and multiple helpers, although we all may not be able to help at all.
After a while, Hu Zongren's phone rang, and I knew it was Granny Huang who woke up and answered. Hu Zongren picked up the phone and said, Godmother, what do you think of what you saw?
