When I was a child, my parents often taught me not to go out after dark, especially in relatively remote rural areas. The older generation believes that the child’s three souls and seven spirits have not yet been fully integrated with the body. Once he is frightened, he may lose his soul.
The way to deal with this situation is different in different places. The most common one is called soul, but there is also a relatively rare method called "burn the fetus".
In the 21st year of the Republic of China, there was a butcher named Luocheng in Jiangling. This man was born in a rank of ranks, strong and skilled in slaughtering skills. Anyone in the village who needed help would come to invite him.
When Luocheng was thirty-five years old, his wife finally gave birth to a daughter for her, called Xiaodie. Luo Cheng was very happy and loved his daughter very much, but every time he worked, he never let Xiaodie follow him. After all, it was too bloody and it would be bad to scare the child.
Xiaodie closed down every year when she was seven years old, and every household started slaughtering sheep and pigs, and Luocheng was too busy to stay at home every day. Xiaodie was very curious about her father's work, so she sneaked out of the house while her mother was not paying attention and followed her. Coincidentally, Luocheng happened to go to the town that day to kill sheep for a rich man's family.
Just as Xiaodie walked to the door of the rich man's house, she happened to see her father stabbed into the sheep's neck with a knife, and blood gushed out. Because she was too shocked, Xiaodie let out a burst of exclamation and then fainted. Seeing that his daughter was shocked, Luo Cheng was also panicked and hurriedly hugged Xiaodie to find a doctor.
Fortunately, everything is normal, Xiaodie wakes up quickly, and there is no big problem. But not long after, Luo Cheng discovered something was wrong.
From that day on, Xiaodie became taciturn, often locked herself in the room, and was very afraid of Luo Cheng, and would cry and make a fuss when she saw him. In addition, Xiaodie often does some strange movements, such as hudding around in the corner, or slipping out of the house and lying on the ground to eat grass.
Seeing that the situation became more and more serious, Luo Cheng realized that his daughter might have been scared to death. For this reason, he specially asked someone to find a Yin and Yang Mr. to help. The Yin and Yang Mr. Yin looked at Xiaodie and found a small ball of black at the center of his eyebrows. He frowned and said, "Tsk, this is not a simple soul loss, this is a fetus. If I guess correctly, it should be a sheep fetus."
The so-called fetus is actually a soul loss. However, after his own soul was lost, other people's souls drilled in and occupied part of the body's dominance. Mr. Yin and Yang said that it is very likely that Xiaodie was frightened that day, and the soul of the sheep fetus penetrated into his body. However, this matter is easy to solve. Just burn the fetus and burn the soul of the sheep fetus, and Xiaodie can return to normal. After
, Mr. Yin and Yang asked Luo Cheng to prepare incense and yellow paper, as well as an egg. However, this egg cannot be used for your own home. It must be requested from another home, and it must be the first egg born by the hen that day. There are many people raising chickens in the village. After learning that Xiaodie had an accident, they all wanted to help, and the eggs were ready soon.
The next morning, Mr. Yin and Yang came to Luocheng's home and prepared to help burn the tire. He first took out his scissors and cut Xiaodie's hands, toenails and some hair, then wrapped the things in yellow paper and tied them with black thread. The other end of the black thread was tied with eggs sent by the villagers.
After doing this, Mr. Yin and Yang brought two large bundles of dried thatch and placed the eggs and yellow paper in it to light them. At the same time, he inserted three incense sticks in front of the fire, pinched his hands, walked on a stance, muttering something in his mouth, not knowing what he was saying.
After about half of the incense stick, the fire was about to go out. Suddenly, a "bang" sound came. Luo Cheng leaned his head and saw that it was the egg shell in the fire that exploded.Mr. Yin and Yang smiled slightly, and quickly stepped forward to extinguish the fire: "Okay, it's burned away!"
Luo Cheng stepped forward and saw that the eggs had been burned. What's amazing is that the egg shells were all broken and the eggs were also divided into two. The egg yolks on both sides were printed with the pattern of the sheep's head and the other printed with the body of the sheep. At this moment, Xiaodie walked out of the room and called out "Dad" with a crisp voice, and it seemed that it was fine.
Mr. Yin and Yang said that this burning of the fetus is actually driving away the souls that accidentally penetrated into the body of others. However, these souls are about to be reincarnated. In fact, during the reincarnation process, the fetus is accidentally disembarked. Once the fetus burning is successful, these souls will be affected more or less, and it is basically impossible to live. Fortunately, this time it was a sheep fetus. If it was a human fetus, Mr. Yin and Yang would not help anything.
At that time, Luo Cheng still didn't understand his words. It was not until half a month later that the rich man who asked him to kill the sheep at the end of the year told him that he had a childbirth, but the one who gave birth to a stillbirth was born. Luo Cheng then understood what Mr. Yin and Yang meant. Since then, Luo Cheng put down his butcher knife and changed his career to start a business. No accident happened to his daughter Xiaodie.
