As for the reason why most ghosts become confused, it is also very simple.

There is a clear record in the "Human and Ghost" chapter of the book "Zhu": "If the deceased is a ghost, then there is no knowledge. How to test it? There is no knowledge before being born. Before a person is born, he is in the vitality.

After death, the vitality returns. The vitality is desolate, and the human energy is in it. People are ignorant before they are born, and their death is due to ignorance. How can there be knowledge? The reason why people are smart and wise is that they contain the energy of the five constants;

The reason why normal Qi exists in people is because the five treasures are in the form. If the five treasures are not injured, the person will be wise and beneficial; if the five treasures are sick, the person will be desolate. If the five treasures are desolate, the person will be stupid. When a person dies, the five treasures will decay, and if they decay

five

There is always no support, the person who used to hide wisdom has been defeated, and the person who used to be wise has gone. Form must be formed by Qi, and Qi must be known by form. There is no single-burning fire in the world, how can there be an essence that has no body and only knows in the world?"

It means that if a dead person turns into a ghost, then there is no intelligence left. How can we verify this statement?

It's very simple. When a person is not born, he exists in the vitality of heaven and earth. After a person dies, he returns to the vitality.

The vitality is unclear, and the qi that makes up a person exists in it. Therefore, before a person is born, he has no consciousness. After a person dies, he will return to his original state of no consciousness. How can ghosts have consciousness?

The so-called reincarnation is just like that. There is no such thing as Meng Po Tang. The underworld just recovers the energy of all things, then washes it and puts it back into the heaven and earth to complete a big cycle.

The reason why people are smart and wise is because they contain the Qi of the Five Constant Beings. The reason why the Qi of the Five Constant Beings can exist in the human body is because the five internal organs are in the human body. If the five internal organs are not harmed, people will be wise. If the five internal organs are sick, the person will not be conscious.

If you are not clear, you will be ignorant and demented.

When a person dies, the five internal organs will rot. When the five internal organs are rotten, there will be no place for the Wuchang Qi to rest.

The organs used to store wisdom have decayed, and the five constant qi used to produce wisdom have left the human body. The body must rely on qi to generate, and the qi must rely on the body to produce consciousness. There is no fire in the world that burns alone without leaving objects. How can the world be like this?

Can there be essence that separates from the body and produces consciousness on its own?

This is also the reason why the ghost will be detained within seven days. Within seven days, the five internal organs have not decayed. Although his Wuchang Qi has become rootless water and sourceless fire, it still exists and can maintain short-term consciousness.

After the body decomposes, it will become completely hazy.

The death of a person is like the extinguishing of a fire. When the fire is extinguished, the light will no longer shine. When a person dies, his consciousness will lose its function.

Therefore, ordinary ghosts cannot harm people.

Just like the uncharacterized words of a chicken egg, it dissolves in the egg. When you look at it when it collapses, it looks like water. A good female lies down and her body is ready. After it is ready, she can peck it. The death of the lady is still dissolved.

At this time, can the surging Qi harm people?

When the egg has not hatched, it exists in a chaotic state inside the eggshell. It must wait for the hen to gestate and form a body before it can be pecked with its mouth and kicked with its feet. After death, a person returns to a state of chaos. Such a chaotic state

How can anger hurt someone?

And why can other evil spirits harm people?

Because they used tools, as the saying goes, water and fire burn and drown. Anything that can harm people is the five elements. Metal hurts people, wood beats people, earth presses people, water drowns people, and fire burns people. When people die, the spirit is the five elements.

If it is a thing, it will harm people; if it is not a thing, it cannot harm people. If it is not a thing, it will be Qi.

It means that water and fire can drown or burn people to death. Everything that can hurt people is composed of gold, wood, water, fire and earth. Metal kills people, wood kills people, and earth crushes people. Water drowns people and fire burns people.

Therefore, if a person's spirit turns into a "Five Elements thing" after death, it can harm people. If it does not turn into a "Five Elements thing", it cannot harm people. As long as it can resist the Five Elements things, it can resist the attacks of evil spirits.

These are the knowledge Li Qi got from reading books and asking Shen Shuibi last night.

Based on this knowledge, Li Qi can determine that the ghost he is facing now can not only harm people, but also curse, which shows that it should have retained part of its power. In other words, his body is still there, and there is no Completely rotten.

In this case, the method of offering sacrifices to "dead people" should be used.

Because, for Zhuren, "dead people" and "ghosts" are two completely different concepts.

Li Qi murmured to himself: "The calendar of sacrifices also has good and bad luck. If the blood is forbidden, the day of the month of killing is unlucky. If you kill an animal as a sacrifice, there will be disaster. Husbands offering sacrifices are feeding ghosts; ghosts It is the essence of the dead. It promotes life and death, humans and ghosts. Seeing living people have food and drink, dead ghosts should be able to eat and drink again. They feel for things and their relatives, so they offer sacrifices. It is also a temple for other gods and ghosts, although it is not a dead person. , the etiquette of doing things is also the same as that of a dead person——"

This is the record of the method of worshiping the dead in the book "Zhu".

To explain, we can analogize the practice of making offerings to living people to making offerings to dead people, and treat the dead with the same etiquette as we would treat living people.

But the first sentence indicates that we need to pay attention to special seasons such as blood taboos and monthly killings. At this time, sacrifices cannot be made, otherwise it will bring disaster.

Through knowledge, the time for sacrifice has been determined, and there is no problem today.

So, let’s get started.

According to the records in the "Zhu" book, the etiquette that should be used at this time is the food-giving ceremony, which means the etiquette of offering cooked food.

The etiquette process is very complicated. First, people are invited to enter, and then two beans are offered, one bean contains sunflower seeds, and the other bean contains snail sauce. The beans containing the snail sauce are placed in the north.

Use a dagger to lift the body of the sacrificial animal out of the container, place it on the altar, serve it with food and set up a altar to worship the corpse. The altar is placed to the west of the east staircase, and the altar is covered with a power scarf. (Note: Zuzu was popular during ancient sacrifices. Meat utensils.)

Li Qi had already asked the Wang family to prepare these things yesterday.

Then, bring in the fish and place it to the east of the pork, and place the mutton to the north of the pork and fish.

Place the two bowls containing millet and millet on the south side of Zu, with the west side on top.

He also placed the two pots for holding the meat soup and vegetable soup on the south side of the beans, and placed them facing the south according to the beans.

At this time of congratulations, the wine should be cleaned, the wine goblet should be poured, and the wine should be placed on the south side of the bowl. Then the lid should be opened and placed on the south side of the bowl.

Then, the consecrator stood up, stood on the right side of the altar, and began to speak.

"The spirit of the earth, Li Qiqi worships in the suburbs. The child is ignorant and disturbs the peace."

"Now, prepare enough sacrificial offerings and prepare them...I beg your pardon and eat them. If you are alive, can you sue me?"

This is asking for forgiveness.

Li Qi became nervous.

Because, the next step is: "I wish to welcome the corpse outside the door. The master surrenders and stands on the east side of the stairs."

What does it mean?

The technique is to invite the "corpse" to go up the steps to the hall, and the host will go down to the hall, stand on the east side of the east steps, and wait quietly.

If the Lord has heard this, he should come.
