Chapter 26. Chamber of Secrets (Thanks @Edwardxylem for the crown)
While Hu Zongren went to the toilet, I continued to chat with Mr. Liu’s wife for a while. From her words, I felt that her daughter’s symptoms were similar to those of most people with ghost possession, and the biggest difference was
The problem was that she had her own request, which was to go home. So when Hu Zongren came out from the toilet, I told Mr. Liu that I hoped he could take us to see his daughter now.
Mr. Liu took us there. His daughter’s room was at the end of the second floor. Outside the room, near the window, stood two middle-aged women chatting. Mr. Liu introduced that these two were his daughter’s aunts. When they
Knowing that Hu Zongren and I were here specifically to ward off ghosts, Mr. Liu made a way for us. Mr. Liu opened the door of his daughter's room. There was no light in the room, but there was a window. There was a white gauze on the window.
The curtains are made of texture, so although the room is not bright, you can still distinguish the location clearly. Mr. Liu whispered to me in my ear that he did not dare to turn on the light. His daughter would get angry when the light was turned on. No one knew why.
Following the direction that Mr. Liu pointed, I saw a big bed. On the edge of the bed far away from us, there was a girl sitting with her back to us. The girl had long hair, and her hair reached almost the level of her vest.
.Looking from the back, perhaps because she is wearing cool pajamas, it looks like the girl has a very slender figure. Looking at the photos before, the girl is indeed pretty. It would be really undesirable for such a girl to be possessed by a ghost.
So I touched Hu Zongren and whispered to him, recite some of your Yaoshan Taoist mantras in your heart, and then gently walk around to the front of this girl to see if she can notice you.
Hu Zongren responded. He first walked around the bed, pretending that nothing was wrong, put his hands in his trouser pockets, then looked sideways at the girl on the edge of the bed, and then walked over casually. From my perspective, Hu Zongren
I had already walked in front of the girl, probably chanting a curse, but the girl remained motionless. I couldn't see the girl's expression, so I could only guess that she was expressionless at that time. So I made a gesture to Hu Zongren,
That means that the sound of your chanting is slightly louder, loud enough for her to hear. Hu Zongren understood, nodded at me, and the sound of your chanting became louder, so loud that even I stood on the other side of the room.
Everybody can hear it.
At this moment, the girl who was sitting quietly on the bed suddenly trembled. She began to shrug her shoulders, as if a cat suddenly became alert. Hu Zongren was startled by her sudden movement.
, he subconsciously took a few steps back, holding his hands on the wall, and then looked at me. I said to Hu Zongren, continue reading and see what she can do further. This time my voice was a little louder, if
If that girl wasn't possessed by a ghost, she could have heard what I said.
So Hu Zongren continued to read, and his voice was much louder than before. At this time, the girl with hunched shoulders and weird posture suddenly jumped up from the bed and rushed towards Hu Zongren. Hu Zongren was caught off guard.
, he was pushed to the ground immediately, and with a muffled "thud", I knew that his head must have hit the ground. Seeing this, I ran over quickly, grabbed Hu Zongren with all his strength, threw me on him, and screamed.
The girl in front of me was very strong. It took a lot of effort for me to pull her hand away from Hu Zongren. At the same time, I also saw this girl’s face for the first time.
expression.
The girl's expression was very ferocious, her eyebrows and the bridge of her nose were tightly intertwined, her eyes were bloodshot, there were deep dark circles, and her lips were white. This originally haggard look should have given people a feeling of weakness.
However, she seemed very fierce. This seemed to me very contradictory, and I also knew in my heart that anyone who encounters a ghost-possessed person usually has the following situations, which are very different from my personality.
The big one is precisely the most obvious feature.
I finally caught the girl. Mr. Liu saw this and came to help. He and I worked together to push the girl down on the bed. Hu Zongren coughed a few times and struggled to stand up. I started to put my mouth in.
Close to the girl's ear, and then whisper a soothing spell. This is what my master taught me in the early years. He said that when you encounter some ghosts who are very angry in their hearts, if it can be healed by one of our soothing spells,
If she relaxed a lot, it showed that her obsession was not unsolvable. Fortunately, although I pressed her hard with my hand, she soon calmed down due to the chanting of the mantra, and her struggling reaction became weaker and weaker.
, in the end, he rolled his eyes and completely stopped.
Mr. Liu saw his daughter rolling her eyes. Maybe he thought rolling her eyes almost meant that she was about to die. He asked me anxiously, why did this happen? I told him, don't worry, she hasn't been well for so long.
I rested, I just fell asleep. I saw Mr. Liu couldn’t believe it, so I said, okay, it can’t be counted as falling asleep, more like fainting.
I moved my hand away from the girl and asked Mr. Liu to cover her with a quilt. Then I turned to Hu Zongren and said, have you seen the girl's eyes? He said that he did. This time, they must be a bit fierce.
But I think we can still deal with it. The reason why I asked Hu Zongren if he saw her eyes is because I noticed that when I pulled her up, this girl’s eyes, especially those that should have been black with pupils, were
Part of the body is completely foggy. It looks like cataracts in the elderly, with a layer of something like egg white covering the eyes. This shows that the reason why this girl was possessed by a ghost was not because of her physical constitution.
It's because she once saw the upper body ghost with her own eyes, and maybe she was possessed before she had time to react.
There is a theorem circulating in our industry. Whether it is Buddhism, Taoism, Wuism, or even more sects scattered among the people that deal with ghosts, we all know that we must never look at ghosts. Ghosts affect the final outcome of living people.
The purpose is possession. Whether intentional or not, this principle remains unchanged. Because when you look at it, it is very likely that it will be "ghosted", that is, it can use your eyes to see things.
, until I can borrow your hands and feet to do my own thing, that means I have been possessed. And the white thing in the girl's eyes can be said to be ironclad evidence that she has been changed by a ghost, because that white thing
, is a part of this ghost's body.
I asked Hu Zongren, what do you think we should do now? The way Hu Zongren treats ghosts is different. I use scaring methods to scare the ghosts out, but it also depends on the situation. Some stubborn people won't do it at all.
Take care of me. Hu Zongren's Taoism directly exorcises ghosts. Not only does the girl have to cooperate with Hu Zongren in this process, but she will also suffer a lot of pain. In addition, Hu Zongren and I promised Granny Huang to do this.
Ghosts are sent home, so this extreme method cannot be used.
After thinking for a while, Hu Zongren said to me, how about this? While she is asleep now, you can check the room first to see if the ghost is in her body or outside. If it is still in the body,
, just formed a formation in this room, trying to force the ghost out of the body. After hearing Hu Zongren say this, I started to look around the environment in this room. There is a disc-shaped ceiling lamp on the ceiling.
, white lampshade. Behind the place where Hu Zongren was thrown was the window. I walked to the window and tried to calculate the angle. I found that if the light was turned on, my position at the head of the bed would be able to pass through the refraction of the window glass.
The ceiling lamp is directly visible. Next to the window is a door. Mr. Liu told me before that outside this door is the living balcony of his daughter’s room. The air conditioner case and sundries are also placed inside. And facing the
On one side of the foot of the bed is a solid wood desk. This desk is quite long. There is a back-mounted TV on the wall. There is an olive-shaped rotating mirror on the desk. In other words, if I lie flat on the
On the bed, I can also adjust the angle of the mirror to see the ceiling lamp on the ceiling. The girl's bed is a floor-standing type, which means that people cannot get directly under the bed, which means that when I
After turning on the lights in the room, the only thing in the room that could not be directly illuminated by the lights, apart from the living balcony, was the only one under the desk.
Thinking of this, I suddenly felt that this matter can be done, but it will still take some risks. Although we have appeased the ghost at the moment, how can we catch it without damaging it, and whether it is willing to surrender, this is
No one can guarantee it. So I said to Hu Zongren, you can help draw some talisman now, the thunder talisman will be fine, but not a particularly powerful one. I don’t want you to chop it into pieces in one go. Hu Zongren asked
I said, is it the kind that just needs a little power? I said yes. He asked me how many dishes I wanted. I pointed my finger back and forth across the room a few times, and after calculation, I said 7 dishes were almost enough.
After saying that, I looked at the time. It was quite early, and there were still more than 2 hours until dark. Although the method I thought of may not be able to be done only when it is dark, it would indeed be more effective after dark.
Before that, I started to make preparations. I told Mr. Liu and the others, please exit the room and wait outside, because later I will find a way to force the ghost out of your daughter's body. Mr. Liu nodded and stood at the door.
Outside. Hu Zongren and I did not close the door, but deliberately let Mr. Liu see what we were doing.
I took out the grave soil from my bag, closed the door of the living balcony, and then evenly spread the grave soil on the crack of the door to block the way to the living balcony. Then I opened the curtains and opened the two windows.
, and drew the dressings respectively. Then I stepped on the stool, took off the lampshade of the ceiling lamp, used a black pen to draw a dressing on the inside of the lampshade, and then adjusted the direction of the mirror on the table so that the light could
Shine directly through the mirror to the position of the pillow on the bed. This is so that when the light is turned on later, the light can cover the entire room, except under the desk.
When I was ready for all this, Hu Zongren’s talisman was almost finished. Taoist painting of talismans consumes a lot of money, so if you see a consecration and blessing talisman selling a lot of monthly sales on an e-commerce store, please remember that there are not many.
I am kidding you that a Taoist priest can do this in such batches. Then I asked Mr. Liu for some transparent tape, spread all the red strings on my body on the ground, and stretched the red strings horizontally and vertically in several diagonal corners of the room.
This is not a formation, but all over the top of the bed. In other words, if you look down at the bed from the lamp position, you can see that these red lines divide the entire room into many small parts.
The red rope I chose this time is for binding spirits, and it is much more powerful than the ones I usually use. I asked Hu Zongren to stick the charms on these threads, and there was one on each thread. Finally, I took out the last one
The rope was tied to the handle of the living balcony door, and the other end was extended to where Mr. Liu was currently standing, outside the door.
I asked Mr. Liu to fetch a bowl, suspended the bowl halfway without falling, and placed it on the stool under the desk. Then I asked Hu Zongren to open his bag of gossip and place it flatly on the mouth of the bowl. I waited for everyone in the room to
After finishing the work, the last step is to sprinkle grave soil on the door, just like the door of the living balcony. This will make the room a completely sealed space for the ghosts.
