First Chapter 20 Mistakes
The moment I heard this, I felt a chill down my spine, and I couldn't help but glance at the girl again. I don't know if it was a psychological effect, but I thought she looked normal just now, but this time, I felt that she was uncomfortable in some way. I quickly found an excuse, pulled Qin Yiheng aside, and asked him what was going on. Qin Yiheng pouted and said that he didn't know now, and he was supervising all the steps, and there were no mistakes. He just felt that something was wrong with the girl.
Now, we are in a bit of a pickle because we can't explain this to this couple.
I also knew that if I told the truth now, it would be a huge blow to them. I was afraid that they would not be able to recover from the emotional gap, not to mention that we had no solution at the moment. If they turned hostile and started to blame us, we really couldn't handle it. I hurriedly asked Qin Yiheng in a low voice what to do, fearing that the couple would hear me.
Qin Yiheng thought about it briefly and said that this matter is really difficult to handle now. First of all, we don't know what the thing that was summoned is, how harmful it is and what its purpose is, for us, these are all unknowns; secondly, even if it is just a passing ghost who entered her body by chance, it is still difficult to deal with, because those who died in vain are extremely attached to life, and it is impossible for them to let go easily after finally catching a chance to return to the world, and most importantly, we can't use too extreme means, first of all, for fear of hurting the girl's body; secondly, if the other party commits suicide by jumping off a building, then it will be really over.
Qin Yiheng's analysis was quite reasonable, but we were really in a dilemma. We couldn't just leave the people here and leave, but there was no solution if we stayed for a while. Finally, Qin Yiheng quietly suggested to me that we should leave first, then go back and think about it to see if there was any method that could be used.
I saw that things had come to this point and there was no other way. Before leaving, we made up a reason and told the couple that they had to lock the girl in the bedroom tonight. Seeing that we really cured the girl, they naturally obeyed us. When I left, I was still panicking, thinking: "Qin Yiheng told me that my luck was low before, and he really wasn't fooling me."
Back at the hotel, Qin Yiheng recalled the process of summoning the spirit again and felt that there was nothing wrong. He thought the problem was not here. For a moment, we were both a little anxious. After a long time, Qin Yiheng suddenly realized and told me that it might be that the girl's birth date or name was written wrong!
I was excited to find the reason, but after thinking about it carefully, I felt that it was untenable. The birth date is very important for this ritual of summoning the spirit, so they must have confirmed it several times when writing it. Moreover, everyone will concentrate on such a critical matter, and the probability of writing it wrong should be very small. Not to mention the name, it's just two words, how could it be easily written wrong? However, based on the current situation, Qin Yiheng can only think of this one reason.
I was wondering, could it be that this little girl isn’t her parents’ biological daughter at all, so they don’t know her exact date of birth?
Qin Yiheng shook his head and said that he had actually been worried before the entire ceremony started, because the person who called back the soul had to be a close relative. He also explained the interests involved very clearly, and the couple would not dare to take the risk again.
After hearing what Qin Yiheng said, my heart was completely cold. I really didn't know how to face the couple, but we couldn't run away. Qin Yiheng's expression was also a little disappointed. The two of us lay in bed without saying a word. Finally, we simply tucked our heads into the quilt and fell asleep.
The next morning, Qin Yiheng woke me up and told me that he might have thought of a way. It was not clear whether he could find the real soul of the girl, but at least he could get the girl's current soul out.
I saw that his eyes were bloodshot, and it seemed that he had been thinking about it all night, so I quickly got dressed and went to a nearby funeral clothing store with him. Qin Yiheng carried a whole armful of white wax and asked me to help carry a bag, and the two of us went straight to the couple's home.
The couple was surprised at first by our sudden visit, and then they probably thought we had changed our minds and wanted to buy the house, so they were so kind as to take the initiative to draft a contract. I felt even more embarrassed, so I made up a reason for them, saying that the girl's soul was not stable yet, and we had to use magic to perform a simple ritual to help her stabilize her soul.
The couple had always regarded us as their saviors, so they naturally obeyed our orders. Qin Yiheng told them that they were not allowed to come in while we were in the room, and took me directly into the girl's bedroom. The girl could probably sense that Qin Yiheng was knowledgeable at this time. Although she did not show panic when she saw us coming in, she was still a little afraid. Qin Yiheng did not approach her, but silently began to take out the wax. I hurriedly followed suit, and soon, the wax was all over the floor.
I leaned over, and my sight was blocked by Qin Yiheng's body, but I couldn't help wanting to see the girl's expression. I wanted to turn my head, but Qin Yiheng reminded me not to talk to her and try to look at her as little as possible, because her body and soul were not in harmony. Listen to my command in a moment. After I light the candle, you help me press her to the floor. Remember to be quick and don't let her run away.
I didn't know what Qin Yiheng was trying to do, but it was always right to listen to him, so I nodded to show that I heard him. I was just surprised that the little girl knew we wanted to deal with her, but she didn't respond at all, and just sat by the bed and watched us. I kept restraining myself from looking up, but I could still feel the little girl's eyes on us. This feeling made me feel creepy, so I quickly shifted my attention to the work in my hands.
Although there were many candles, it was still easy to take them out. Qin Yiheng counted and selected a few candles from the pile, and tied the remaining candles into a bundle with red thread and put them aside. I was very nervous, afraid that I would not be able to react in time when Qin Yiheng suddenly asked me to hold the girl down. I was also a little scared. First, I was really a little scared, because although she was in the flesh now, I didn’t know what was inside her body after all; second, I was also worried that I would accidentally hurt her flesh. If I found her soul, but her flesh was in trouble, it would be a big problem.
While I was thinking about it, Qin Yiheng had almost finished. I wanted to remind him to keep his voice down when he called me so as not to scare the girl's parents, but Qin Yiheng suddenly shouted, "Go!"
I stood up completely relying on conditioned reflex, but it happened so suddenly that I didn't pay attention to my feet and stepped on a wax tree. I slipped and fell to the ground.
The little girl didn't seem to expect us to make such a sudden noise, and she was also startled. I heard her scream "Ah" and she jumped directly from the bed to the window and opened it casually.
I saw it and thought, "It's all over now. If she jumps, I will lose everything and maybe even go to jail." I was confused at the time and even shouted, "Calm down."
Before I finished speaking, Qin Yiheng stepped over me and reached out to grab the little girl's arm. Seeing this, the little girl wanted to jump out of the window without hesitation. Fortunately, Qin Yiheng was quicker and grabbed her in advance. I quickly got up and wanted to help hold her down, but unexpectedly, the little girl did not resist at all and let Qin Yiheng push her directly to the floor.
Qin Yiheng pried open the little girl's hands and quickly asked me to light the white candle and use the fire to burn her palms from a distance of a fist. Although I felt very sorry, I couldn't show any mercy in this situation. I put the flame under the little girl's palm, and within two seconds, the candle went out.
Qin Yiheng told me to throw away the extinguished candle, light a new one, and continue to burn, but this candle also went out after a short while. After a while, the extinguished candles piled up, and each one went out inexplicably. However, each candle burned a little longer than the previous one.
The little girl never cried out in pain, not even making a sound. This continued for a long time, and then I heard her groan, and she collapsed directly into Qin Yiheng's arms. This time the candle was not extinguished. Qin Yiheng put the little girl down, and hurried over to hold the candle, walked around the room, and when he saw that the flame was normal, he let out a long sigh.
I saw his expression and it seemed that he was not so nervous anymore, so I asked him if he was okay. He nodded and told me that he was basically fine now, but we were back to the starting point.
Fortunately, the monster that possessed the girl this time was not some ferocious monster. Judging from her reaction, it was most likely a ghost that had not yet grown up. Although this kind of ghost would be unwilling to die, it would not make much noise.
Legend has it that children who die before the age of eight cannot be reincarnated successfully. Because girls have heavier yin energy, there is a time difference between them and boys. Even if they enter the underworld, they can only wander along the banks of the Nai River. This is why in ancient times there was a strict limit on the age at which children could tie their hair (basically starting at the age of eight).
This actually means that the child's spirit and body have basically been united, and he or she will be able to enter the reincarnation path smoothly after death. It is for this reason that although we often hear rumors of evil spirits, we rarely hear of children who have turned into evil spirits and harmed people everywhere, because they just exist in the world with a kind of nostalgia and reluctance to life, and do not bear much resentment. Even if you experience it in person, it is just a prank, and the minor illnesses and disasters that follow are not deliberately imposed on you by it, but if you have had relevant contact, your fortune will be affected, and you will naturally have bad luck.
I was naturally relieved to hear Qin Yiheng say that it was just a little devil who would not harm anyone. What he said sounded quite fresh to me, so I asked him to tell me more.
Seeing that the little girl was fine now, Qin Yiheng felt relieved and continued to talk: "This little ghost not only includes children who have not yet reached the age of hair binding, but also unborn babies. Many books on alchemy record that abortion will be resented by the child because it strangles the child's life.
But this is not inevitable, because there are two types of aborted fetuses. One is that the fetus is strangled before it has lived out its life span. This type of fetus does have resentment, which usually affects the fortune or health of its parents. However, it does not necessarily come true soon, because it depends on the specific situation. For example, if the parents' yang energy is strong enough, or their horoscope is extremely yang, it will have a certain relief effect.
The other type is actually destined to be so. This type of fetus is destined to die, so even if they are unwilling, it will not bring much impact to the parents. Since we are talking about babies, we will naturally talk about the issue of birth characters. As the core of numerology, the birth characters can be used to calculate various information.
If there is a master who can calculate, although it cannot be said that everything is in great detail, at least it will be roughly consistent. This has basically become a consensus in today's society. However, there is another saying in metaphysics, called Yin Ba Zi. What we call birth date and time is the year, month, day and time of our birth, which is calculated according to the moment of birth; while Yin Ba Zi is calculated based on the year, month, day and time of the moment when the so-called ghost is reincarnated, and is used to calculate the previous life, that is, the things before reincarnation. "
Qin Yiheng gave me another lecture, which was also a popularization of metaphysical knowledge. I thought to myself: "If I continue to be influenced by him every day, maybe one day I can become a master or something, at least I can cheat people." But then I thought again, what else can I learn? We have made a mess of the white wax, and we have only achieved a temporary victory. We still don't know where the little girl's soul has gone.
Seeing the white wax, I remembered to ask Qin Yiheng what the white wax roasting method was. Qin Yiheng explained that, apart from the physical properties of white wax, from a metaphysical point of view, it is actually something that can sense the Yin energy. This is why we choose to use white wax in funerals. For example, when movies and TV dramas want to show the Yin energy approaching, they always give a close-up shot of the white wax and then watch it extinguish. This actually has a certain basis.
Use the fire of white wax to roast the palm of the little girl, that is, use the fire of candle to burn the Yin Qi on the little girl. Whenever the Yin Qi extinguishes the fire of candle, it is necessary to replace a new candle, because the candle has been invaded by Yin Qi, and the effect will be greatly reduced if it is lit again.
