The Soul Returns! The East is not allowed to be trusted.

There are thousands of elders, but the soul is a few.

********

The idea of conjuring spirits originated very early in China, dating back to the Zhou Dynasty. In ancient China, there was no concept of the predecessor and the afterlife, nor the concept of heaven and hell, but only the concept of the immortality of the soul and the concept of gods and ghosts. The nature of the ancient Chinese secluded capital is different from that of hell, which refers to the realm of the world in the underground space, while hell is the place where the soul is judged, punished, and reincarnated.

It was only later that Buddhism was introduced to Middle-earth, and the theory of hell and heavenly palace with a concrete image of reality gradually spread.

In ancient Chinese philosophy and the view of the world, it is believed that people are born with a soul, and the soul is immortal after death, but exists independently from the body. In addition, not only people have souls, but also other natural objects, such as mountains have mountain gods, water has water gods, and all things in the world are as good as ever. Polytheism is a characteristic of primitive religions, but it does not have a good cohesion, so most of the religions that became popular in the world later are single masters, believing that there is a god in the world, but there is only one.

Let's not mention the above religious matters for the time being, let's talk about the recall of the earth soul to Duoduo.

Duoduo has been dead for a year or two, the heavenly soul has dissipated, and the human soul is nourished in the locust wood card on my chest, only the earth soul is free from the world. I don't know how to explain what the earth soul is, it is a memory, it is a kind of knowledge, it is an important place that marks the existence of the flowers in the world, with it, the flowers can avoid the yin wind washing on the fifteenth day of the first month of each month, without the help of external forces, they can practice by themselves, obtain peace, practice for a long time, and even speak the truth, walk in the sun, and fearless, just like a land fairy.

Of course, all of this requires chance.

The recall of the earth soul is simple and simple, as long as the earth soul and the current spirit body are mixed together during her birth sacrifice or on the night of the fifteenth day of the seventh month; However, when it is complicated, it is actually complicated, and there are more than 40 kinds of materials to be prepared, including ten kinds of soul reviving grass, Poria cocos, goldenrod, Yanhusuo, Coptis chinensis, Changshan, crow's gall, motherwort, aconitum, Chuanxiong, angelica and other more than 10 flavors of Chinese medicinal herbs, fish gallbladder, seahorse, centipede foot, amber, cantharid, coriander, ground urchin, mole cricket, indica rice and other sundries, cinnabar alum mercury and other minerals, as well as a baby tooth before Duoduo's death......

These things need to be carefully selected, and I need to boil them in proportion, according to the hour, and according to the heat, until they are the most refined, and then refined into a pill and nine turns of the soul rejuvenation pill.

After the refining was successful, on the night of the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, I needed to open the altar near her former home to summon spirits.

I never imagined that I, a guy who failed chemistry when I was studying, would one day get into the alchemy business. Fortunately, with the method, I also only have a hard head, the iron pot is unstable, easy to change with the medicine inside, I deliberately went to buy a large stainless steel pot, eat and live in my third uncle's house, first boiled a few large pots of boiling water to cool, and then according to the order of the method, put these drugs in turn, boil with cold boiled water, first boil with fire, a large pot, I add water, spread the medicinal materials but a finger, after boiling, simmer for three days without interruption, add all kinds of materials one by one, on the fourth day, I transferred several times, The freshly dug ten-year soul revival grass was chopped and chopped, and the baby teeth of Duoduo were ground into powder, and put into the pot to be tormented with all kinds of minerals.

And so it was another three days.

These days, Duoduo has been with me, maybe it's too hot in the kitchen, she doesn't seem to like this place, but she is also well-behaved, and often helps me wipe my sweat and beat my back. I have nothing to do, one is to read a book, the other is to play with her, and time flies. My third uncle's neighbor has a local dog, and since I moved in, it has been barking and annoying. One night Duoduo ran out of the house and scared it, and the dog never barked again, and when I went out during the day, I didn't dare to come from afar, but wagged its tail at me.

After boiling for eight days, I fished out and added others, and on the night of the eighth day, after I had cleared all the residues, I got a large piece of black paste like fermented flour, very sticky, semi-solid, more than two catties. I took it out, washed the pot, then put sesame seeds to stir the pot until fragrant, and then put the black paste in the pot and stir-fry. This is also strange, at the beginning, a big lump, stir-fried for half an hour, it was only the size of a fist, and the incense was fragrant. I stopped adding firewood to the stove, and when it was a little cooler, I took it to my hand, and rubbed it with sesame oil and kept rubbing, rubbing, kneading it round, and finally got a fist-sized black ball, which cooled down and became hard.

This is the so-called Nine Reincarnation Soul Rejuvenation Pill.

On the day of Dancheng, there was no lightning and thunder, the sky appeared a vision, when I was holding this fist-sized soul rejuvenation pill in a daze, someone came to knock on the door, it was my neighbor's child, and asked my uncle what was in the house, why was it so fragrant? He dragged his nose and looked longing. I said it was fried sesame seeds, and he asked for it, but of course I didn't dare to give him the sesame seeds containing mercury to eat, but fortunately there was some chocolate in the house, and he was fooled away. I closed the door and looked carefully at this thing that looked like the size of a tennis ball, black and mushy, and there was no bottom in my heart at all, just like after taking the college entrance examination, I always felt empty in my heart.

This kind of emotion makes me very uneasy, you must know that I failed the college entrance examination, and now I have it, is there something strange?

Or maybe it's my first time doing it, and it's too much of a loss, right?

I couldn't help but comfort myself like this, on the fourth day of the first lunar month, there were no more days, and the arrow was on the bow, and I had to send it.

I stayed in the third uncle's house for nearly ten days, living by eating instant noodles every day, and my mouth faded out of a bird. She was so happy that she clapped her hands and flew around the room. She is a spirit body, the attribute is yin, she doesn't like to stay in the hot environment, these days I soak in the kitchen every day, the fat insects are hibernating, there is no such little thing, I am busy with alchemy, in fact, she is still quite lonely.

I locked the door and walked more than ten miles back to my home in Dadunzi Town.

As soon as I got home, I had to help take care of the business, selling New Year's paintings, couplets, firecrackers and some New Year's goods. They didn't ask me what I was doing every day, my mother knew that I had inherited my grandmother's mantle, and that I had some things to do, but I only occasionally nagged me to accumulate virtue and do good, and not to fight in vain.

I said yes to them all.

On the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, the New Year's fair (also called the New Year's fair), people from all over the village crowded into the town, which was quite lively. At noon, Lan Xiaodong from Shengtun (the fellow mentioned before) came to visit my house, saying that his fast food restaurant in Jiangcheng had also gone out of the country, and he was going to Hongshan in the south for the New Year, and he would do business in a bigger shop. I said yes, the economic structure there is very good, there are many prosperous people, and you can't afford to build a restaurant. He was also busy, and left after lunch. In the afternoon, one of my father's distant relatives came over to buy couplets, and my parents left them for dinner.

This relative is called Lu Yuanshan, and he has a son named Lu Yan, who can be regarded as my cousin.

This cousin works in Jiangcheng, Southern Province, and the last time I went to Jiangcheng, I was going to play with him, but then I had no phone but to give up. Lu Yuanshan, I call him Sanbo, he also has a son, three years older than me, a very smart and powerful person, last year or the year before last, he participated in the labor dispatch to an island country in the South Pacific, and then disappeared, and now there is no news, it is a pity.

The conditions of their family are not very good, when they had dinner, my mother fried some lettuce bacon, half a chicken and a pot of pig's trotters, and then mixed a cold dish to fold the ear root, and took two bottles of green wine from the counter, my third uncle actually ate half a pot of pig's trotters in one go, and drank too much wine, hugged my father and cried. I couldn't go back at night, so I let him sleep in the guest room, and Lu Yan slept with me.

There were strangers there, and I didn't dare to let the flowers out, so I chatted with Lu Yan.

He is a person who doesn't like to talk much, but he is very measured in his words and deeds. Talking about the experience of working in Jiangcheng, he said that he went there mainly to find his brother Lu Mo (his brother went out of Jiangcheng). It's a pity that it's too difficult to find abroad, and I don't know if it's alive or dead. We chatted for a while, and I thought he was a good person, with good knowledge and personality, and it would be nice if I could introduce him to Dongguan to help Agen.

But as soon as I mentioned it, he shook his head and said no, he still wanted to find his brother now, so as not to worry about his parents.

The next day he was gone, and I hadn't seen him again for a long time, and I didn't remember it. The reason why I deliberately mentioned it is because I didn't expect that this cousin, who was poor in his family and worked in Jiangcheng, would actually grow into a figure of the year in the future, which affected the minds of many people...... The wonder of life lies in the word "unexpected".

Of course, this is a later story, so I won't mention it for the time being.

Approaching the end of the year, the atmosphere of the New Year began to be lively, I was often called by friends to drink, a piece of five farmhouse home-brewed rice wine, often poured a table of people, others called me a barrel. I stayed with my parents and helped with things. Business was very busy, and it was not until the Chinese New Year that I was idle for a few days. Although I went home, Ah Gen and several brothers in Dongguan called to pay New Year's greetings, and Boss Gu also called, the strangest thing is that I also received a call from the United States, it was a girl named Xue Rui, she said that she was treating her eyes in the United States, and she hung up without saying a few words.

Ma Haibo, Yang Yu, Huang Fei and others all called me to pay New Year's greetings and asked me to go down to the county seat to drink after the New Year - Dadunzi Town is on the mountain and has a high altitude, so it is called Xia County - Huang Fei has sent me messages when she has nothing to do recently, jokes, jokes, and parents. I could vaguely guess that she had a crush on me, and I was inexplicably looking forward to and excited.

Of course, I also like the feeling of chatting with beautiful women.

On the morning of the fourth year of junior high school, I took a minibus to the county seat, and went to the house of several relatives, including my uncle, to pay New Year's greetings, and the lunch was originally eaten at my uncle's house, but my cousin Xiaohua, who had just become a freshman in college, was very ignorant, and I was a little unpleasant to look at, and my little aunt was also a little cold, so I sat for a while and left, and then came to my distant aunt's house to eat at a distant aunt's house who was a stir-fry master in the kitchen of the county No. 1 middle school.

The situation is cold, the people are warm and cold, I don't care very much, if it weren't for the uncle, I wouldn't bother to pay attention to my little sister-in-law and their narrow-minded aunts.

After eating with Ma Haibo, Yang Yu and Huang Fei in the afternoon, I said goodbye early.

They tried to keep it, but I still insisted because I had something to do that I had been looking forward to for a long time.

That is, to recall the souls of the earth.
