Yue'er is a full-time wife to a part-time husband. She has been in Xiamen for more than a year, but her husband has been away from Xiamen for half a year.
It rained for several days in a row, the north wind was blowing, the weather was unusually cold, and Yue'er went to bed early. As soon as she closed her eyes, a man suddenly broke through the wall, flew over her, and grabbed her neck. She screamed and struggled desperately. After a long time, she opened her eyes. She thought it was a dream, turned on the light, got up and drank a glass of water, and then went back to bed. But as soon as she closed her eyes, the man broke through the wall again, flew over her, and grabbed her neck again. She screamed and struggled desperately again. After a long time, she opened her eyes.
The same scene happened twice, and both times she was conscious. Could there really be a ghost? She got goose bumps all over her body. She immediately chanted a talisman her father had taught her, touched it on her forehead, and then closed her eyes. Sure enough, the man did not come again.
But she couldn't fall asleep anymore. She tried to recall the man's face, but she couldn't remember it. She opened the window, and a cold wind blew in her face, like a ghost. She quickly closed the window. She turned on the TV, but she couldn't see what was on the TV. Her mind was filled with the ghost stories her father had described many times.
Her father encountered it twice.
One time, during the summer wheat harvest, when it was getting dark, her father came back from work and walked to a bamboo shed in the backyard. He suddenly heard chicks calling, but he didn't see any chicks. He was on this side of the bamboo, and the chicks were calling on the other side of the bamboo. He ran to the other side, and the chicks were calling on this side of the bamboo. He turned around several times, but he didn't see any shadow. There were no chicks in their family, and it was not the season to hatch chicks. Her father immediately understood that it was Erwuzi, which is what we call a ghost. He immediately picked a piece of grass leaves from the earth wall, put it in a circle behind his back, closed his eyes, muttered something, and then pulled hard. The grass broke, and then he heard a clattering sound rising from the bamboo and quickly flying to the southwest sky. The sound was very scary , but it disappeared in an instant. The next day, a person died in a village in the direction of the sound. The village was about five miles away from their home. After that, her father was ill for a week.
The second time was when her father got up in the middle of the night to relieve himself. When he walked to the toilet, he saw a fat old woman squatting naked in the toilet, but he didn't see her face. When her father was about to leave, the old woman suddenly disappeared. He knew he had met Er Wuzi again, so he chanted a Taoist talisman and touched his forehead. He was sick for another week.
Yue'er's grandfather also encountered this once. It was a winter morning when he was carrying vegetables to sell. When he passed by a grave, he saw a fat old woman sitting naked on a straw mat. Her grandfather did not believe in ghosts. He just felt embarrassed to look at the old woman without clothes, so he lowered his head and walked past. But later he thought it was not right. What was an old woman doing sitting next to a grave in such a cold day and so early in the morning? Her grandfather fell ill after returning and passed away in less than a month.
Yue'er didn't believe in ghosts. If someone else told her, she might have taken it as a joke. But it happened to be her father who told her, and he told her about his own and his father's personal experiences. Although she had never seen her grandfather, she believed that her father would not lie to her. What's the point of lying to her? Her father also said that no matter what, it is better to believe than not to believe. We can not believe in good things, but for bad things, we would rather believe in them than not believe in them. It never hurts to be on guard. She was half-believing and half-doubting, so she also learned a few talismans from her father, and now they can come in handy.
Different talismans are used to deal with different ghosts. The ones with sound are different from the ones without sound. The ones you see with your eyes closed are different from the ones you see with your eyes open. The ones you can see the face of are different from the ones you can’t see the face of. The ones that appear in dreams are different from the ones that appear when you are awake. Generally speaking, you can ignore the ones that appear in dreams, but if they appear when you are awake, you must use talismans.
Ghosts usually appear when and where the yin energy is heavy. It has been raining these days, and the yin energy is rising. It seems that we need to invite people to our home to walk around and increase the yang energy. But she has no other friends. She is afraid that others will know that her husband is a part-time husband, so she rarely interacts with others. She is only relatively familiar with Aunt Wang next door.
Aunt Wang and Yue'er are from the same hometown. They have been in Xiamen for many years. She lives with her son and daughter-in-law, doing housework and picking up her grandson. Her son Wu Shen is a psychologist, her daughter-in-law runs a company, and her grandson goes to kindergarten. They all go out early and come back late. She doesn't have much to do on weekdays, so Yue'er comes to chat with her, which of course she is more than happy to do. When she hears Yue'er telling ghost stories, she has more topics to talk about.
She had heard people say that the building they lived in used to be a mountain pass with piles of graves. One morning, a taxi driver was driving a girl home. The girl gave him a 100-yuan note and told him not to change it. After the girl entered the gate of the building and disappeared, the note suddenly turned into paper money used in the underworld. The driver never dared to drive again.
Aunt Wang also told a lot of ghost stories, which made Yue'er shudder. She originally wanted to ask Aunt Wang to walk around to increase the Yang energy, but her stories made the Yin energy even stronger, and her mind was full of ghosts. Aunt Wang didn't mean to scare Yue'er, but when she talked about this topic, she opened up. However, Yue'er thought of the talisman her father taught her, so she was not very scared.
In the middle of the night, a black cat suddenly came and circled around Yue'er's quilt, faster and faster, like a whirlwind, with green eyes, staring at Yue'er without blinking. The black cat's circle shrank smaller and smaller, and soon came to her chest. Just as it stretched out its claws and dug into Yue'er's eyes, Yue'er woke up. It turned out to be a dream, no, it was Erwuzi who came into her dream. She gasped and quickly chanted a talisman. At this time, a cat-like cry came from downstairs. It was indeed Erwuzi! Yue'er got goose bumps again.
After chanting the talisman, she lay down to sleep again, but just after a while, the black cat came again, and brought a skull with it, pressing the skull against her chest. The skull smiled at her horribly, and its eyes were also glowing green. The black cat jumped violently on the skull, crying miserably, one louder than the other.
Yue'er cried out desperately for a long time before she opened her eyes. The cat was still crying miserably downstairs.
She chanted another spell. After chanting the spell, she lay down to sleep again. However, the black cat came again, crying miserably.
This happened several times, and when she fell asleep, the black cat would appear in her dreams, either with a tangle of snakes or with some strange ghosts with heads but no faces or heads but no bodies. She chanted several spells in a row, but the ghosts still appeared in her dreams alternately.
Yue'er felt that she had encountered an evil spirit, and her talisman might not be able to suppress it.
Aunt Wang's son Wu Shen also knows how to exorcise ghosts. After learning about Yue'er's situation, he said to Yue'er, "Your Yin Qi is too heavy. You must expel it. If you don't expel it, ghosts won't come out. Yin Qi is where ghosts come from. The heavier the Yin Qi, the more ghosts there are, just like the more water there is in a pond, the more fish there are. When the water dries up, the fish are gone. After expelling the Yin Qi, you still need to collect the Yang Qi. But you can only expel the Yin Qi by yourself, and you can only collect the Yang Qi by yourself."
"what do I do?"
"It's actually very simple, but I'm afraid it's difficult for you."
"Tell me about it."
"Sweat. The more you sweat, the faster the Yin Qi will be expelled."
"How do you collect Yang energy?"
"Yang energy gathers in the human body. It is like seeing more sunlight and getting more sun exposure." Wu Shen took a sip of water and continued, "In fact, there are no ghosts in the world. Your father has never really seen a ghost, but he would rather believe it than really exist. Hasn't he revealed it himself? He said it so realistically, just to make you believe it and be on guard. If there is a ghost, the ghost is you, your own inner demon. If you hide in the shadows, the ghost will come to you with poppy flowers, making you unconsciously indulge in its toxins."
In order to expel the negative energy, Yue'er ran desperately, morning and night, until she was very tired, her back and waist ached, and she sweated a lot.
But how to collect Yang Qi? How to interact with people for no reason? So Yue Er went to find a job and found her full-time husband among her colleagues.
Yue'er quit her job as a full-time wife to her part-time husband, and she did not become a part-time wife. She was devoted to being a full-time wife to her full-time husband. She had walked out of the shadows, no longer had to hide, and she could walk with her head held high. She slept very soundly now, and no longer dreamed of ghosts, because the ghosts had been driven away.
