After drawing the well water, my great-great-grandfather went home and put the basin of water at the door. He took out the bronze mirror and put it into the basin.
At this point, some of my friends might be confused. Aren't you guys catching ghosts? Do you still need to guard against ghosts? How should I put this? We ghost hunters are also humans. Sometimes, we will accidentally fall into the trap. Just like the saying here, those who drown will drown, and those who are bitten by snakes will catch snakes.
After settling these matters at home, my great-great-grandfather returned to the row of willow trees by the river bank and smoked again, waiting for the time.
Time slowly passed. Around midnight, my great-great-grandfather stood up from under the willow tree. He carried the willow branch on his shoulder and walked towards the village.
After arriving at the entrance of the village, he did not enter the village. Instead, he carried a tree branch and walked around a small road outside the village until he reached the southeast end of the village.
The south of the village is the only way for the child ghosts. Because we don't see ghosts in our family's craftsmanship, we can only rely on our accumulated experience and our own feelings to exorcise evil spirits and catch ghosts. At this time, my great-great-grandfather can only wait for the rabbit.
He waited at the southern end of the village for about an incense stick's time. He estimated that it was about time. He found a suitable place and stuck the willow branch into the ground. The soil was semi-sandy, so it was very easy to insert.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the village was obviously different from usual. It was gloomy and suffocating. The temperature was very low and it was extremely quiet. There was not even a dog barking. The village seemed to have been abandoned for many years, and the entire place looked lifeless.
Ever since my great-great-grandfather left the riverbank, he had been guessing that at this moment, those child ghosts should be at the entrance of these villagers. They might be crying or thinking of a way to enter the house. As for the purpose of them entering the house, there might be a variety of reasons, which was impossible to verify. However, this was also the time to test the endurance of the villagers of Sanwang Village.
People with strong Yang Qi might not feel anything. At most, they would be upset. They would always feel that Moxuli was blowing cold wind from somewhere. Those with weak Yang Qi would hear footsteps, crying, or knocking on the window. They could even see someone standing in the courtyard through the crack in the door. This was not a big deal. At this time, the most dangerous children under the age of ten were very likely to be disturbed by the Yin Qi and resentment of the ghost children. They would cry endlessly, and some would even fall unconscious, have a fever, and talk nonsense.
When the ghost children saw the mirror in the basin at the door of a villager's house, they would be frightened to the next house. After the other house saw it, they would be scared away to the next house. It could be said that every family in Sanwang Village was not spared. When these ghost children had enough trouble, they would return to the cave on the barren slope.
My great-great-grandfather planted the willow branch in the south of the village at this time, waiting for them to return and wait for the rabbit.
The Soul Guiding Banner and the willow branch have the same nature and use here. They are both used during the funeral of the undead. If you use the willow branch, you don't have to use the Soul Guiding Banner. When the deceased was buried, the willow branches or the soul-guiding banner would be carried by the filial son. When they reached the cemetery, if the soul-guiding banner was used, it would be burned along with the paper, which was the paper man and paper horse, at the grave. If a willow branch was used, it would be inserted into the grave and poured with a bucket of swill. The willow branch inserted into the ground could not live. If it lived, it meant that the soul of the deceased attached to the branch had not left, which was not good for the family of the deceased.
I said so much mainly to say that my great-great-grandfather hung the Soul Guiding Banner on the willow branch at this time. He did this mainly because the resentment of these children who died in vain was very strong. Just the Soul Guiding Banner or the willow branch alone probably wouldn't be able to keep them.
