Only then did Xie Lingya realize why they only tied his daughter’s hands with a rope. He winked at Zhang Daoting and followed the two out. Just now, the couple thought he was a volunteer or something, so they left it to Zhang Daoting to explain. He thought it might be more effective.
Xie Lingya picked a flower from a pot in the yard and placed it in Qi Xiaomei’s hand.
Qi Xiaomei glanced at him and took the flower timidly.
“Thank you, little brother.” Meng Siyu gave him a forced smile.
Xie Lingya formed the Spiritual Official Technique in his hand and patted Qi Xiaomei’s back a few times. The little girl felt as if the coolness on her body had been dispelled by a burst of warmth, and the fear lingering in her heart also faded away a lot.
Qi Xiaomei took the initiative to reach out and hug Xie Lingya’s arm.
Meng Siyu looked at Xie Lingya in surprise. Ever since her daughter encountered that incident, it had been difficult for them to get close to her.
“It’s okay.” Xie Lingya held Qi Xiaomei’s hand and looked at it again and took out some ointment. Hai Guanchao had made it himself. He slowly applied the ointment to Qi Xiaomei, and Qi Xiaomei’s expression became more and more relaxed.
Inside, Zhang Daoting and Qi Liang kept talking, but outside, Xie Lingya silently comforted Qi Xiaomei. He also took Qi Xiaomei’s pulse and calculated it using the Taisu Pulse Method.
When Qi Liang and the two came out of the hall, Qi Xiaomei was already being supported by Xie Lingya to play in the flower bed, with a long-lost smile on her face.
Qi Liang also looked surprised, and looked at Meng Siyu, “Daozhang Zhang said that he wanted to ask his senior brother to take action…”
Just now, it was just him and Zhang Daoting inside. As soon as he said it, Zhang Daoting trembled with fear, causing him to have a baffled look on his face. Before he could recall his fear, Zhang Daoting was afraid first.
Then Zhang Daoting quickly explained that there were specialties in the Taoist industry, and his senior brother specialized in this one, and the person was the one who went out just now.
Qi Liang just didn’t expect that the young man they mistakenly thought was the handyman would take effect so quickly. Qi Xiaomei felt much better immediately.
“This is it, this is my senior brother.” Zhang Daoting said quickly, extending his hand towards Xie Lingya.
Meng Siyu: “…”
She thought this guy was a handyman, but she didn’t expect that he was also a professional. She just didn’t know why he didn’t dress up as a Taoist priest. Meng Siyu felt that it was no wonder that after he said a few words to her daughter, her daughter immediately improved a lot.
“I was rude just now, Master, thank you.” Meng Siyu said hurriedly.
Xie Lingya shook his head, “It’s nothing.”
He didn’t talk about his ghost hunting everywhere. Those who knew, knew, so he avoided drawing talismans in front of them. Later, when he saw that Qi Xiaomei was frightened, he came out to comfort her. Zhang Daoting would explain anyway.
Zhang Daoting summarized it for Xie Lingya. After that night, Qi Xiaomei often encountered this kind of thing at night. As long as she was in a dark corner, it seemed that a cold hand would pull her at any time.
Under the bed, under the dining table, that hand seemed to be everywhere. The bruises on Qi Xiaomei’s hands were getting heavier and heavier.
Qi Liang and Meng Siyu didn’t dare to leave her alone anymore. They turned on all the lights at home at night, and then went everywhere to pray to gods and Buddhas. They had already asked a monk to do a ritual, and today they came to Baoyang Temple again.
Xie Lingya asked Qi Xiaomei’s birth date and speculated on it himself. Shi Changxuan was not here, so he tried to ask: “Is your house… a new one?”
“No, it’s an old house. “Qi Liang said, “My mother-in-law left it to my wife. Because the children had to go to school, she decorated it and moved back in.”
“Then it means the earth has been disturbed, so it’s a bungalow, right?” Xie Lingya was even more sure. He had calculated Qi Xiaomei’s fate and the variable should be related to the earth.
“Yes! We redid the patio!” Qi Liang almost broke his voice, “You mean there is something wrong with the house?”
Qi Xiaomei was taken to drink water by Zhang Daoting. Meng Siyu untied the rope and stood aside. At this time, she also said: “My grandma once told me that objects become refined when they grow old. Is it an old thing from our family? Is it my wooden basin or my rolling pin?”
She remembered these things for a long time. It was something that she had had since she was a kid.
“Old objects may have spirituality, but this one should be the bones awakening in the ground. Let me look at the photos of the patio.” Xie Lingya looked at the patio they had renovated and said, “The patio is too big and the area is too large. The wind and water make it uncomfortable to lie down.” He thought of something, “Yes, the hands dragging your daughter appeared from below.”
Both Qi Liang and Meng Siyu felt like fainting, especially Meng Siyu, who had lived there since she was a child, “Well, are there bones in the ground?”
“Don’t be afraid. Human beings have developed for so many years. There are bones in the ground in many places. It’s just a matter of whether they are buried deep or shallow. Your family may be just like others. The burial ground was opposite, and the feng shui was changed, which woke the deceased up. This… how should I put it, they might have lived there longer.” So Xie Lingya couldn’t say who was at fault, “And this should be the case. It’s just a reminder, otherwise you won’t be able to bring your daughter back.”
The child’s yang energy was weaker, so they chose Qi Xiaomei.
Qi Liang and Meng Siyu didn’t feel so good about Xie Lingya’s comfort. They looked at Xie Lingya bitterly: “Master, what should we do now? Change the house back?”
“Wait for me.” Xie Lingya said, then he turned his back and started checking his phone.
Qi Liang and Meng Siyu: “???”
Why did you suddenly start playing with your mobile phone?
Zhang Daoting quickly changed the topic: “Maybe someone is looking for him. My senior brother is very busy.”
Recently, he had been busy preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination reexamination… He would have to go to the reexamination in a few days.
After a while, Xie Lingya turned around confidently and said, “When I go to your house, I will find out where the bones are buried, dig them out and bury them, so that there will be no future trouble.”
Where Qi Liang and his wife couldn’t notice, Zhang Daoting wiped away his sweat.
….
Xie Lingya went to Qi Liang’s house and used the technique of spotting to find out the specific burial ground. It was in the corner of Qi Liang’s bedroom. He dug down four or five meters from this place and found some white bones, where the soil was very moist.
The foundation for the old house of Meng Siyu’s family was only one meter long. When they were building the house, they mustn’t even know there were bones underneath.
Xie Lingya wiped the bones clean one by one with white wine and yellow paper, then put them into a container, recited several death curses, and asked Qi Liang to find a cemetery for burial. These days, it cost money to buy a cemetery plot, but for Qi Liang and his family, spending money could eliminate disasters.
Including digging such a big hole in his bedroom, it had to be renovated after backfilling.
At this time, it was already past the time for the Shangyuan Dharma Assembly, but Xie Lingya had already written the words for them before, so they just had to ask the Taoist Priest to do it for them.
Seeing Qi Liang’s uneasiness, Xie Lingya knew in his heart, “Forget it, I’ll bring these bones first, and then you can come and get it when you want to bury it.”
Qi Liang was so grateful as he had to wait until dawn to find a cemetery. He really didn’t dare to share a room with this corpse.
“Actually, you used to live upstairs and downstairs, and you were always in peace.” Xie Lingya said with a smile.
Qi Liang: “…”Qi Liang said bravely: “Stop talking, I almost don’t dare to live here anymore.”
“They are going to move, don’t be afraid.” Xie Lingya said, “I still paid for your lamp today, tonight on the Lantern Festival, the Heavenly Official will bless you and your family will be safe and harmonious.”
“Thank you for your good wishes.” Qi Liang finally felt a little better.
Xie Lingya said goodbye to them, but Qi Xiaomei still held him reluctantly.
“Keep your hands well coated with medicine.” Xie Lingya touched Qi Xiaomei’s head.
….
When Xie Lingya returned to Baoyang Temple, it was already past eleven o’clock in the evening, and there were many lanterns hanging on the pedestrian street. This was a traditional custom.
On the Shangyuan Festival, the heavenly officials were happy and lit lanterns.
Red lanterns were hung in the streets, sharing the lingering joy of the New Year, while oil lamps were also placed in Taoist temples, which complemented each other with the stars in the sky. Offering lamps kept the lamp of wisdom shining brightly on you and brought you profound blessings.
Xie Lingya stepped through the door, but the door was only closed a bit. He opened the door and saw dots of stars on the table in the courtyard. These lamps had been lit for seven days and nights, and they would remain burning even after the ceremony.
At this time, the lights flickered on and off, vaguely illuminating a figure who was bowing his head and chanting sutras.
Xie Lingya vaguely recognized the person and coughed: “Is the little cutie and the owner of the cutie back?”
It was so late after the ritual. When he came back, he saw that the door was not closed and he was independent, but seeing there was actually someone waiting for him to go home, this feeling made him smile.
Shi Changxuan suddenly raised his head, and saw Xie Lingya standing there smiling at him, with a pair of silkworm-smiling eyes that were extremely vivid, and he didn’t know if what fell in his eyes was a sky full of stars or a courtyard of burning lanterns.
He didn’t know what to say for a moment.
….
A few years later, Phytolacca God recalled it, put his hands on his hips and said, “At that time, he was so cute that I read a poem!”
Looking back suddenly, the man stood in the dim light.
