"Losing the soul" is really a strange thing. Some people say it is superstition, but modern medicine has not solved it. People who have lost their souls usually look like they are in a state of despair. They can't keep their spirits up even if they eat seafood. They feel like they are seriously ill. Medicines and injections are in vain. They will never be able to recover. They can only "call out their souls".
Soul calling - that is, there are many ways to get the soul back. I have heard of no less than ten methods, but most of them have not been seen with my own eyes and I cannot describe them in detail. I remember when I was a child, my cousin lived in my house. She lost her soul in the hut at night. My mother brought a bowl of soup and called my cousin's name several times in the hut into the sunset, asking her to go home for dinner. My cousin agreed, and the soul disappeared. Called. If this was just hearsay, it would be really weird.
It is said that the person who loses his soul is related to his birth date. The horoscope determines a person's "fate". Those with a weak life like my cousin will easily lose their souls; those with a strong life like this hall master, monsters and monsters will hide from me, but as long as they still have breath, their souls will not lose no matter what. I think this loss of soul might be hereditary. My aunt has a history of losing her soul.
So is Xiaoli’s loss of soul due to bad luck or genetics? She really didn't find a blind man to help study her horoscope. As for heredity, Lihua cannot lose her soul, but Xiaoli's uncle has had the experience of losing her soul. When she was a child, her uncle often lost his soul while passing by the cemetery in the east of the village. The symptoms were fever, confusion, and just wanted to sleep and touch his palms. , the pulse is no longer the heartbeat in the hand, but has gone to both sides (this is what Lihua said, she said that the soul is the heartbeat in the hand, I think it is inappropriate, so I changed it to pulse). Get a bowl of water, cover it with burning paper, and shake it in front of the Stove Lord, and something like fish eyes will gradually appear on the paper. Her uncle caught the "fish eye" in his hand, and after taking a nap, he immediately became active again, climbing the house and the tree.
It seems that Xiaoli doesn’t follow me, but follows her uncle. This child jumps up and down all day, and has no quiet time except when sleeping. But on the fifteenth day, I was frightened by the firecrackers on the street. I quickly asked my mother to hug me, and then started crying. I had a slight fever the next day. After the fever subsided, I lost all energy, my eyes were blurred, I didn't like to eat, I was drowsy all day, and I even vomited after getting up once. After taking medicine for several days without any effect, her grandma asked, "Have you lost your soul?"
My neighbor, Aunt Wang, said she was very energetic, so her grandma took Xiaoli there. Aunt Wang lit up the incense, made a cross on the ground, and taught Xiaoli to stand on it. Then two cups were placed in front of her, one empty and one full. The empty cups were covered with burning paper, while they murmured something. Then she taught her grandma to call Xiaoli's name, scoop out a spoonful of water from the full cup and pour it into the empty cup. After about seven calls, there were water drops on the paper - the water droplets were on the front. Lihua said "fish eyes", some people say this is "soul". Put the paper holding the water droplets on the little pear's head, and the soul will come back. Her grandmother was still afraid that it wouldn't work, so she repeated it again, and the soul-calling ceremony officially ended.
When Xiaoli left the cross, the first thing she said was: "Grandma, I want to eat grilled sausages!" - She immediately had an appetite. Aunt Wang's ability is really incredible!
Our ancestors created a lot of idioms with souls, such as out of the body, out of mind, out of breath, in fear, in dreams, in a daze, and in a state of despair. So I think we Chinese people have souls. The soul is a kind of spiritual support for people. It is something that can only be experienced but cannot be touched. It will not disappear when the body disappears. When I was a child, my soul was not well integrated with the human body and body. When I was frightened, my soul would leave the body and wander around the universe. As you grow older and become more adaptable to the environment, your soul will be firmly attached to your human body, and "soul loss" will be rare.
