The Huai Shui God's Cave

Chapter 5

Liu Xiangu said that children have weak resistance, so they are easy to encounter dirty things; ordinary adults will not encounter this kind of situation. If adults encounter evil, they will be ghosts.Therefore, try not to take children on night walks at night, and do not take children to funerals or other things, as it is easy for children to recruit dirty things.Generally, when children lose their souls, they often have a high fever that does not subside. It gets better during the day and gets worse at night.Younger children are prone to lethargy. When sleeping, the eyes are usually not closed tightly, and the eyeballs move around.At this time, if you touch the palm of the child, you will feel the ghost pulse beating in the palm of the hand. This is the most accurate diagnosis method for diagnosing the child rushing to the negative object.

There are also children who are frightened by the sudden appearance of the sound, which is usually said to be frightened out of their souls.For example, being scared by a dog, such a child is normal during the day and can’t see anything. When sleeping at night, the eyes are not closed tightly, and the eyeballs sometimes move around. Such a reaction to some loud voice.Such children generally do not have a fever, but they will wake up suddenly after falling asleep, cry continuously, and show a very frightened look.

Liu Xiangu is best at not only collecting scriptures and calling souls, but also piercing ghost needles.When rural people are working, they accidentally slipped to the waist, or a joint is broken, and there is a snake around the waist, which can be cured.

The cure is to cut a paper figurine, prick the paper figurine with ghost needles, and recite mantras while piercing the diseased parts of the real person.The snake-wrapped loin is even more painful. It is said that if it is not cured, it will be the end of life when the waist is covered with a circle.

Hearing this, Yang Xiaoxie chuckled and said, "Then next time if I'm out of breath, I'll cut out a paper figurine and prick it with a needle. See if it's so magical?"

Liu Xiangu heard the sarcasm in his words, immediately became unhappy, and said with a straight face: "Young man, what do you know, paper figurines and silver needles can be found anywhere, the most important thing about my spell is the incantation, which is passed down from my family , passed on from daughter to son, my family’s ancestors were mages hundreds of years ago!”

Red Apple was also giving us winks, and after Liu Xiangu left, he whispered to us, "Don't believe me, many of us get angry and go to Liu Xiangu, and we'll be fine."

I wondered, "Snake loincloth is herpes zoster, isn't it? Go to the pharmacy and buy a box of alocivir ointment, and you'll be fine. Why are people so superstitious nowadays?"

Red Apple smiled and said, "I got snake loincloth last summer, and I couldn't even go to the hospital to get a bottle. The longer it grew, the more it grew. Liu Xiangu said that it was crawled by spiders while sleeping, the kind of spiders crawling over dead people. The coffin smelt of corpses, and the hospital couldn't cure it, but in the end she tied it up with paper figurines."

Yang Xiaoxie said disdainfully: "It must be that you are almost cured in the hospital, and with her psychological hint, you will put the credit on her."

Red Apple got a little anxious, he firmly believed that he was cured by Xiangu Liu, and wanted to argue, I quickly took over the conversation and said: "Since Xiangu Liu is so powerful, you don't need to go to the hospital to see a doctor."

Red Apple said disapprovingly: "Go to the hospital when you are sick, and only look for evil diseases that the hospital can't see well. Her hands and claws are too long (the price is too high), at least one hundred at a time, and the virtues are not enough. The first few days There was a person in the next door village who was blinded in one eye by her!"

Red apples tell a story.It was said that there was a man in the next door village with a ring of poisonous lumps on his neck. He was dizzy from the pain and rolled over in bed. His wife hurried to invite Liu Xiangu, but her family was not in good condition, so she only brought 20 yuan. One day, Xiangu Liu thought it was too hot and didn't want to go out, so she cut out a paper man, took out a silver needle, recited the spell three times, and then asked the woman to go home and prick the man herself.

The woman hurried home with the silver needle paper figurine, and fell halfway. When she got up, she saw that the silver needle had pierced the paper figurine's eyes, piercing through the paper.She didn't think much about it at the time, and ran home to check, only to find the man lying on the bed screaming like a pig being slaughtered.

It turned out that just a few minutes ago, his man fell asleep on the bed, and a fly flew over to bite him. When he waved his hand to repel the fly, he accidentally swept the sewing basket on the bedside table, and a pair of scissors fell out. , right into his eye.

Her wife looked down at the paper figurine in her hand. The pierced eye was the same as her husband's.She hurriedly called for someone to take her husband to the hospital.Later, the man's poison bag was cured, but he was blind in one eye.

To be honest, we don't believe in the magic of these incredible folk warlocks, but it is really interesting to listen to it as a story.Seeing how reverent Red Apple is to Xiangu Liu, we can't take off his face, and for the time being we can't figure out the secret of this approach, so we can't see through Xiangu Liu's trick.After Liu Xiangu left, Red Apple took us to his house for dinner.He said there were many things about Liu Xiangu catching ghosts and exorcising evil spirits, so he wanted to stay with us overnight and tell us slowly.

We didn't believe this in our hearts, so we declined his kindness, told him that we still had something to do, gave his son a gift of [-] yuan as a meeting gift, and drove away.

When we drove to Xianling Mountain, it was almost ten o'clock at night. We turned on the headlights and saw a figure in the distance, lighting a bamboo pole.When I drove past him, I realized that the man was blind Yuan.Yang Xiaoxie also saw it, and he said, "Dude, isn't this old man living in seclusion? Why did he go down the mountain? Could it be that he came out to buy daily necessities?"

I told him not to talk, parked the car far away on the side of the road, turned off the engine, and found Yuan Xiazi walking quickly.He didn't notice us, so we followed him quietly.He was very familiar with the terrain, and he tapped here and there with a bamboo pole, and finally turned to the narrow path next to the troops.

He listened to his surroundings, leaning on a bamboo pole, and suddenly walked like flying.If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I couldn't believe how a blind man could run faster than a normal person.In order not to startle the snake, Yang Xiaoxie and I quickly abandoned the car and followed him.

Yuan Xiazi's destination was actually the back wall of the 803XX troops, which is the place where Chen Daudao robbed the tomb and descended the cliff.By the time we arrived panting and hiding aside, blind Yuan was already standing on the edge of the cliff.It seems that he is very familiar with this place and found it easily.

I saw Yuan Xiazi probing the edge of the cliff with a bamboo pole, and walked back and forth along that area for half an hour. It was almost twelve o'clock at this time, because Yuan Xiazi kept pressing the piece on his wrist to tell the time. It is a watch specially designed for the blind.

When the watch indicated twelve o'clock, Yuan Xiazi stood in a semicircular depression on the edge of the cliff, took a deep breath, and then jumped down.

I was taken aback and didn't have time to stop it. When I ran to the edge of the cliff with Yang Xiaoxie, Yuan Xiazi was nowhere to be seen.He jumped off a cliff!

Yang Xiaoxie shook his head and sighed, "You don't need to run so far to commit suicide, and you won't say anything about your last words!"

I looked under the cliff carefully, but still couldn't see anything. I waved my hand at him to tell him to shut up, and listened for a while, but there was no sound.

Yang Xiaoxie said: "Could it be that this old man knows how to do light work and walk over walls? He couldn't have walked out of Jin Yong's novels, could he?"

I sneered and said, "He still came from an alien planet. It's definitely not that simple. I don't believe he came here to commit suicide. We'll wait here for him to come up."

Yang Xiaoxie and I waited there all night, bitten by mosquitoes, anxious and hungry, exhausted, until dawn, Yuan blind man came up.

When it was past [-]:[-] in the morning, there was no movement under the cliff. It seemed that we were waiting in vain.Since we had to go back to work, we had to leave first.Yang Xiaoxie said: "The old man didn't really fall and drown, did he? Or he climbed into the ancient tomb and was bitten to death by poisonous insects."

I kept silent and didn't answer, feeling that things must not be that simple, Yuan Xiazi is not the kind of master who can die easily.

We went back to the parking place and were about to go back when we suddenly found Yuan Xiazi appearing on the road not far behind us. He was leaning on a bamboo pole and running wildly with the black cat in his arms. Like a debt collector.

As if discovering a new continent, Yang Xiaoxie nudged me hard and said, "Dude, hell, isn't that Yuan Blind?"

I took a closer look, and it was indeed Blind Yuan, but I clearly remembered that he didn't bring a cat with him last night, that is to say, he should have come down from the mountain where he lived just now.I said, "Xiaoxie, didn't this old man jump off a cliff? Could it be that he'd deceived himself and came up from under our noses, and then went back to his hut on the mountain to take the cat out for a morning walk?"

Yang Xiaoxie said: "He can't be a ghost, I don't believe in this evil!" I thought so, and said to him: "Go, it doesn't matter if he is a human or a ghost, you will know after the first trial!"

We were about to go up to catch him, when suddenly a figure flashed out behind him, it turned out to be a middle-aged Taoist priest with a long sword in his hand, I dare say he was chased by this Taoist priest.

The Taoist priest was quick in his hands and feet, and he was about to catch up with him.Although Blind Yuan is blind, his hearing is extremely sensitive, and he obviously sensed it. He stumbled in a hurry, fell on Yang Xiaoxie's lap, and subconsciously shouted: "Help, help, someone is here!" I want to kill Blind Yuan!"

Yang Xiaoxie pulled him up and questioned, "Old Man Yuan, are you a human or a ghost? The two of us saw you jump off a cliff last night!"

Blind Yuan was taken aback for a moment, obviously recognizing who it was.At this time, the Taoist priest from behind chased him out of breath. He pointed at Yuan Xiazi with his sword and said, "You monster, do you still want to run away? Today I will kill you to pay for those wronged souls!"

I heard the Taoist's words, he seemed to know something, so I asked him: "Master Taoist, why do you say he is a monster, and what is the entanglement between you?"

The old Taoist said very bluntly: "The two children step aside, I have been looking for this Yuan blind man for more than 20 years, this account must be settled!"

Blind Yuan pulled me back timidly, and said, "Son of the Wu family, since I saved your grandfather's life back then, you can't just let it go. This old Taoist priest is a lunatic. You can't believe his words."

I saw that the old Taoist was dressed in rags, with a messy beard, cunning eyes, and a strange ancient sword in his hand. He really looked like a madman.But I'm not that stupid, I know there must be a story in it, but when Blind Yuan mentioned my grandfather, I think it is necessary to save him first.

I said to the old Taoist priest, "Master Daoist, I am from the Public Security Bureau. Now I have a case to take Mr. Yuan back for questioning. No matter what personal grievances you have, you have to wait until our investigation is over before solving it."

The old Taoist naturally refused to give up, so I took out the pistol from my body politely, shook it in front of his eyes, and said, "The gun doesn't have eyes, so don't force it, and be careful not to fire!"

The old Taoist was furious, but he had no choice but to stamp his feet and said harshly, "Yuan Xiazi, I, Taoist Qingfeng of the Maoshan School, will not let it go."

Because we were in a hurry to get back to the game, we decided to simply take Yuan Xiazi with us and ask him how he got out of the cliff.

On the way, I asked Yuan Xiazi: "We saw you jump off the cliff with our own eyes, why did you appear on the road again? Why did the old Taoist call you a monster? He wants to pay for your life. Is there a murder case between you?"

After getting rid of the Taoist priest, Yuan Xiazi no longer flinched. Not only did he not answer my question, but he also said very unhappy: "Son of the Wu family, didn't you leave yesterday? You arrived at the small stone bridge at the south gate in a while. , you just let me go down."

Yang Xiaoxie said coldly: "Old man, we saved you, and you don't need to thank you, at least tell us where you went and where you came back from!"

Blind Yuan laughed dryly and said, "Blind Yuan, I don't have anything, so I can only thank you verbally. The old Taoist priest had some misunderstandings with me in the past. If I fell into his hands, I would die. You two children are good people. I will definitely not let my life go in vain.”
