Chapter 36 Dharma and Exorcism
Aunt Liu swallowed and continued, "It was only after dawn the next morning that the cold gradually faded. My mother-in-law found two old men from our village who knew some Yin and Yang to come and see what was going on. After the two old men asked about the situation, they all said that I must be possessed by those unclean things and had to find a Mr. Yin and Yang to do rituals for me. They would not do these rituals. When I asked about it, it was very expensive to ask Mr. Yin and Yang. At least five dou of rice would be willing to come. I couldn't take it out, so I thought of Mr. Gongsun. So, early this morning, I brought the child to ask you. Please do rituals for me."
After saying that, Aunt Liu pulled the child to knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Gongsun He again.
Gongsun He was originally full of the voice, appearance, smile and appearance of the Apricot Flower Girl last night, and his soft and delicate body. After hearing the bad news, his head was filled with the tragic sign of the Apricot Flower Girl being killed, and his whole heart was filled with these things. So when Aunt Liu came in and kowtowed to thank him just now, he didn't even know what happened. When Aunt Liu talked about the incident, he gradually understood that it was the divination that his apprentice Yi Xingchen calculated for Aunt Liu the night before.
He remembered that Aunt Liu asked him to calculate for him at that time. When he didn't want to, Aunt Liu asked his disciple Yi Xingchen to calculate. The hexagram was actually auspicious and there was no evil sign at all. However, his disciple Yi Xingchen told the other party that this hexagram was very bad and that he would inevitably encounter unclean things on the way. At that time, he thought that his disciple was deliberately scaring Aunt Liu. After asking his disciple, his disciple explained that he did think so. When he was angry, he scolded his disciple a few words and said that he randomly explained the hexagram.
However, what Aunt Liu said just now proved that the apprentice verified it. Aunt Liu really encountered something unclean on the road and almost died. Fortunately, the apprentice taught Aunt Liu the way to resolve the danger, and it actually took effect, which made Gongsun He stunned.
At the end, I saw Aunt Liu kneeling beside the bed with two children, looking up at him with her head and eyes full of pleading, but she didn't react for a moment: "You, what did you ask me to do for you?"
"Please do a ritual for me to drive away unclean things on my body. Last night, I was like soaking in ice water all night. The old man said that he passed by the cemetery the night before yesterday and leaned over when he encountered dirty things. Please help me do a ritual for me."
"Practice rituals? I'm not a Taoist priest, how can I do it? I can't do anything except fortune-telling. If you want to do it, go to the Taoist temple to find a Taoist priest. I can't help you."
Aunt Liu suddenly became anxious and said, "Mr. Gongsun, please, I know you have the ability. Although the hexagram that day was not yours, but yours, he was your apprentice, and his skills were taught by you. He was so powerful, let alone you. In the past, I always asked you to tell fortunes, saying that you were not sure, and I really had no eyes and I apologize to you. The way you taught me and the hexagram made me escape from the cemetery, and I lived my life. I will never forget this kindness in my life. My family was poor, and my old man died early, so I left two children for me, as well as my mother-in-law, who was also a seventy-year-old. I have old subordinates and young people in my family, and I have all depended on me. My family was poor and I really had no money. I can only ask you to do everything well and help me do rituals. I will remember your goodness for the rest of my life."
Yi Xingchen, who was beside him, hurriedly said, "Aunt Liu, get up first, get up and sit up and talk. What does it look like when you kneel like this?" After that, he reached out and pulled the two children up. Aunt Liu then got up and sat on the stool, wiped her tears, and said to Gongsun He: "I know I can't afford the money, you are just afraid you won't want to help me. This is enough, as long as you help me do rituals and remove the evil spirits on my body, I will pack all the dirty clothes for you and your disciple Guaer from now on. Every time I come to sell vegetables, I will take your dirty clothes back to wash them. After washing, I will bring them to you next time I sell vegetables, okay?"
Gongsun He smiled bitterly: "I didn't lie. I really don't know how to do rituals. If you want to find someone to do rituals, you have to go to Taoist temples. It's useless for me. If I can do it, I will definitely help you if you beg me like this. But, I don't know how can I help you?"
Aunt Liu didn't believe it, insisting that they could figure out dirty things when they could tell fortunes and teach her how to break through the dirty ghosts and hit the walls, so she would definitely have a way to help her drive away the dirty things that were leaning over. So she begged and wanted to pull the two children to kneel down.
Yi Xingchen quickly stopped him and said, "Don't worry, let's first determine whether you are possessed by something unclean. You can tell me if you are really possessed by evil spirits. If you are possessed by evil spirits, then you can just go and ask someone to do rituals. If not, you waste money on rituals in vain, and you will not cure your problems."
"But the elderly in the village say they are possessed by evil spirits and can only be driven away by doing rituals."
"Those old men are not Taoist priests, how can they count what they say? My master did not tell lies. He really can't do rituals. If you insist on doing rituals, then you can go to the Taoist temple to find Taoist priests. If you just want to get rid of your problems, then you can figure out whether you are possessed by evil spirits first, and then you can find a way."
Aunt Liu nodded and said, "What you said is reasonable. Can you please tell me a fortune again and see if I am possessed by evil spirits? However, I don't have money, so why don't I pick more vegetables next time and divide half of them to offset the money for you? Is it okay?"
Gongsun He was in his mind at this moment about the business of Miss Xinghua. He was not interested in Aunt Liu's facts. He just wanted to send him away earlier and said, "It's all from the villagers. You don't have much money, so I'll tell you a fortune for free."
Aunt Liu said thank you repeatedly.
Yi Xingchen quickly brought a small bag of rice, bowls and plates for fortune-telling, and brought it to Aunt Liu. Aunt Liu grabbed it three times. Gongsun He looked at the number and then looked out the window and estimated the time. Then he got the hexagram and said, "If you want to ask if you are infected with evil, the key is to see how many yin lines there are in the hexagram. Generally speaking, at least five yin lines indicate that it is possible to be infected with evil. If all six yin lines are yin lines, then you can determine that you are infected with evil. In this hexagram, the upper and lower hexagrams are all Xunmu hexagrams. There are only two yin lines in this hexagram that are yin lines. From the hexagram, you can tell that you are not infected with evil. Therefore, your fear of cold is not caused by evil, but another reason."
Aunt Liu stared at Gongsun He with wide eyes: "I'm not possessed by evil spirits, so how could I feel like I'm freezing?"
Feng Gongsun He just wanted to explain the hexagram quickly so that she could send her away, so he didn't care and said bluntly: "Since ancient times, this has been interpreted by the hexagram in this way. As for the reason why you are afraid of cold, this is also easy to explain: the changing line is in the fifth line. The hexagram representing your body hexagram and the hexagram representing the things you ask are Xun Wood hexagram. If the divination is a disease, the Xun hexagram represents wind disease, that is, cold evil and qi disease. Judging from the hexagram, you were not possessed by dirty things last night, but were infected with cold evil and got sick. What you were looking for is not a Taoist priest, but a doctor, go and find a doctor."
Aunt Liu was a little disbelief of Gongsun He's explanation, and turned his head to look at Yi Xingchen. Yi Xingchen smiled slightly and nodded.
When the master was calculating this hexagram, there was no three-dimensional hexagram in Yi Xingchen's mind, proving that the master's hexagram was accurate, and the interpretation of the hexagram was also in line with the hexagram theory. Therefore, Yi Xingchen nodded to agree. At the same time, he analyzed it for her: "Didn't you just say that the night before yesterday that you encountered a ghost hitting a wall and kept running. Your whole body was so tired that you were almost exhausted. You must have sweated heavily. You took off your pants and got blown by the mountain wind. You must have gotten cold into your body and become sick, so you feel chills all over your body."
"But, why don't I feel cold after dawn? I don't think so now, but I have a premonition that I will definitely feel very cold again at night. So, I'm afraid that it's not because of the cold evil entering the body and getting typhoid fever, I'm really caught in evil. Mr. Gongsun, Gua, you should do it and help me do rituals."
Gongsun He was a little annoyed, waved his hand and said to Yi Xingchen: "I'm tired, you send Aunt Liu out, I want to sleep for a while." After that, he ignored Aunt Liu and has been lying down and sleeping inward since ancient times.
