Mantra

Chapter 85

What Gui Yuxiu saw on the coffin of my old squad leader was a mouse.A gray rat eating my old squad leader's tribute.

The mouse is not big, but cute and stupid, and it is crawling on the tribute table in front of the coffin of my old squad leader to eat melon seeds. For some reason, it seems not afraid of people at all. The small sesame-like eyes kept eating.

False alarm.

Women naturally like some small animals and are afraid of some small animals, but this sister-in-law Gui Yuxiu seems to be afraid of mice.

Seeing the mouse on the altar, we immediately understood what was going on with the howling just now.

Xian Hongye looked at the squirrel, and said to me with a little hairiness: "So it's a mouse. I thought your old squad leader had a dead body."

"Don't talk nonsense! Don't scare the mouse." I said in a low voice, "This mouse eats tribute, but it is very learned."

At this time, the little Ah Si who didn't know what was going on turned to me and asked, "Is this also learned?"

I nodded, and was about to speak, but was snatched away by Lei Ren in advance:
"Of course! How do you ordinary people know about Taoism in our Five Viscera Temple! This rat eats tribute, but it is a great opportunity given to us by God!"

What Lei Ren said was abrupt and inexplicable, I guess no one could understand it except me and Zhao Haikun.

But to my surprise, when we were staring at each other, waiting for Lei Ren to explain further, he didn't speak, but Zhao Shuihe, the little grandma of the Zhao family beside him, spoke.

Zhao Shuihe said with a chuckle: "I know everyone doesn't understand, but it's okay. Think about it, what are the tributes for? Who is the tribute for?"

Her words woke up most people, and made me realize that she is also a character who knows a lot of "hidden rules".

Tribute Tribute, as the name suggests, is something that is offered to ghosts to eat.During the sacrifice, only the soul can eat the tribute.

According to superstition, the mouse that ate my old squad leader's tribute was not an ordinary mouse, but a mouse possessed by the old squad leader's soul.

Whether this omen is good or bad is unknown.

At this moment, I turned my head, looked at the proud Mr. Lei Renlei behind me, and said respectfully, "You know how to move mountains?"

The old man Lei nodded and smiled with a smug expression on his face.

Looking at his expression, I felt a surge of excitement, because of Lei Ren's ability, but also because of my own luck.

I understand that it seems that the strangeness of the death of the old squad leader may be glimpsed from the mouse that ate the tribute.

Although this idea is very superstitious, it is also very helpless. Who made the old squad leader so ignorant?
At this time, Zhao Hong and Ah Si, who didn't know what to do, spoke almost at the same time, asking what is "five sons moving mountains" and what's the use?And why is it a great opportunity.

Lei Ren didn't answer right away, but waited for the mouse to eat and drink enough and run down the tribute platform slowly, then he smiled slightly and explained to everyone the mystery of "five sons moving mountains" in Wuling Temple.

The Cantonese cuisine of "Wuling Temple" is the most regional cuisine in China.His birth is the farthest from the origin of Chinese cuisine "Zhou Li".And the development is the fastest.

In its rapid development, it has absorbed a lot of foreign cultural systems, and formed the characteristics of Lingnan regional culture, integrated into Southeast Asian food, and even Taoist food and Buddhist food.

Naturally, their "secret rules" are quite different from those of the Confucius Temple.

Lei Ren told everyone that in some Hakka Han settlements in Guangxi, some people would make a kind of "rice soup" specially used for fortune-telling of the dead. Three Mountain Dou".That thing is said to be able to call back a newly dead person, a wisp of wronged soul left in the world, and ask for further divination.

Of course, this kind of move is very evil, and it cannot be used indiscriminately.

Only people who have suffered a great injustice can use this method of divination inquiry, and the content of the divination inquiry can only be about the deceased. It mainly asks what wishes the person has unfulfilled, what grievances are unknown, and what money is not reported.

The sign of a violent death is that during the mourning period, there are small animals such as mice eating the tribute of the deceased.

In the eyes of superstitious people, this is a hint from heaven.

After asking the questions about these dead people, the family members will understand the grievances in the hearts of the wronged souls, and the wronged dead ghosts will no longer haunt their relatives and friends. If you are lucky, they can turn around from time to time afterwards, which has the effect of transshipment.

To put it bluntly, this is a kind of "spiritualism".

I know a thing or two about this content, but I don't know the specific method of divination, because that is the way in Wuling Temple.

However, I think Lei Ren looks confident and doesn't seem to be lying.

Moreover, I heard from the old squad leader that this "five sons move mountains" has rarely been used since the founding of the People's Republic of China.Although the reason is inseparable from the general political environment, there is another deep-seated reason.

Because of the deterioration of China's ecological environment after the founding of the People's Republic of China, there were fewer animals and plants, and it was difficult to find the blindly important main ingredients that the five sons needed to move mountains.

And this is the root cause of the disappearance of this "curse-eating psychic method".

What I didn't expect was that the "food technique" that had disappeared in Wuling Temple for decades, Lei Ren could actually know it, and according to what he said, he could also make the "Sanshandou" rice that the five sons must use to move mountains!
There are people outside!

After hearing Lei Ren's words, all the laymen present felt a sense of excitement. Among them, Xian Hongye, who had done research in this field, became even more interested and asked, "Why is what you said only used in horizontal fields?" On the dead ghost!"

Lei Ren chuckled, and still said kindly: "Human! There is a time to rush to reincarnate after death. If you summon the soul indiscriminately, won't you delay the time for reincarnation? There are many things that you have to read to understand. ,but."

Lei Ren changed the subject, and suddenly looked at Zhao Haikun with a gloomy expression.

I know, this old guy is going to raise conditions.

At that time, Lei Ren walked up to Zhao Haikun lightly, and said to the coffin of the old squad leader:
"Hey! Brother Akun, you saw it just now! That mouse is clearly Apengzai's soul! Apengzai died for no apparent reason. As an older brother, don't you want to know why you came back? Don’t want to ask him if he has any unfulfilled wishes?”

As he spoke, Lei Ren stroked his white beard stained with chicken blood, and lamented again: "Hey! Instead of using chicken blood to shatter Ah Peng's soul, it's better to let him express his wish earlier, so that he can be reincarnated! Amitabha .”

Although Lei Ren's words were somewhat cunning, I could tell that every word of those words pierced into Zhao Haikun's heart.

Certainly, the person who died was his own brother, and who doesn't want the deceased to go on the road with peace of mind.

Moreover, the old squad leader's death was too strange, no one knew what happened before his death, why he kept running to Zhao's ancestor's grave, and what was the meaning of the unnamed letter he received.

In short, Zhao Haikun, like me, wants to know the truth.

Lei Ren's words finally moved Zhao Haikun.

After Zhao Haikun coughed, he reconfirmed and asked: "You really know how to move mountains with five sons? Can you help the second son fulfill his wish?"

"Why not!" Lei Ren nodded at the time and said, "If my 'curse-eating' doesn't work, I will personally bury Ah Peng!"

When Zhao Haikun heard the words, he smiled coldly and said, "You're not so kind to help, are you? If you have any additional requirements, please tell me."

Zhao Haikun's words did not surprise me at all.

Lei Ren, who owns a black shop by profession, must want to get something from the Zhao family, otherwise, he wouldn't have spent so much time to come here.He asked Zhao Shuihe to make a match, and he got me to speak for him.I look tired.

Sure enough, after Zhao Haipeng finished speaking, Lei Ren suddenly smiled. He smiled very awkwardly, as if he was demonstrating some kind of excitement in his heart.

Finally, he said, "I just want to see the relic left by Zhao Haipeng!"

Did he come all the way here just to see the relic?
