"Huaizuo boy..." Secretary Tan had just woken up, and his thinking and speaking speed were a bit slow. After a while, he asked slowly, "Are you from Yangzhou?"

Pei Miao nodded, "Yes."

In the Song Dynasty, Huainan East Road and Huainan West Road were established in northern Jiangsu and northern Anhui (Jianghuai and Huaihe River areas), and Huainan East Road was also called Huaizuo.Huainan West Road is called Huaiyou.There are many mountains on the right side of the Huai River, and many waters on the left side of the Huai River.

Huaizuo originally refers to the east of the Huaihe River, including Yangzhou.

But because of the opening line of Jiang Kui's "Yangzhou Man" in the Song Dynasty: the famous capital of Huaizuo, the best place in Zhuxi.

Therefore, when later generations mentioned Huaizuo, they first thought of Yangzhou. Gradually, Yangzhou exclusively enjoyed the name of Huaizuo.

Tan Yongming excitedly introduced to Secretary Tan: "Dad, Mr. Pei is an expert invited by Mr. Wang. He was the one who rescued you. You have been in a coma for four days."

Pei Miao warned: "Secretary Tan is very weak now and needs to rest and not be disturbed by others. Don't let those people outside come in. Mr. Tan, you can send them home and come to visit some other day. That's it."

"Okay." Tan Yongming nodded again. In his eyes, Pei Miao is no different from a god. He agrees with everything Pei Miao says.

Pei Miao continued: "We are going to the cemetery right now, but we have to leave someone here to take care of Secretary Tan, Mr. Wang, you call Chen Liang in later, and the two of you are here to take care of Secretary Tan, remember, Secretary Tan These talismans on your body cannot come off, if Secretary Tan messes around and loses the talisman, you can help him stick it on immediately, and just recite the song of righteousness when sticking it."

"Don't worry, leave it to me." Wang Song smiled and nodded in agreement.

Pei Miao walked to the bed, took out a cowhide pouch, and untied the rope that tied the pouch, and saw that it was full of acupuncture needles. This set of needles was given to Pei Miao by Huang Guowei. It is said that they are very precious. An eight-centimeter-long needle, walked to the bed, looked at Secretary Tan, and said, "Secretary Tan, I will give you a needle now, so that you can sleep peacefully for a while and cultivate your mind."

Secretary Tan didn't seem to want to be stabbed, so he hesitated and asked, "It hurts...does it hurt?"

Pei Miao didn't expect Secretary Tan to be afraid of the pain of needles at such an age, so she couldn't help laughing and said, "Don't worry, it's not very painful."

"Oh..." Even though Secretary Tan was reluctant to get the needle, he was a patient after all, so how could he refuse treatment, and could only cooperate obediently.

Pei Miao pricked the needle slightly above his neck, twisted the silver needle gently, and the silver needle penetrated slowly. After the needle was finished, Secretary Tan asked, "Is the needle finished?"

"Okay." Pei Miao straightened up.

Secretary Tan smiled and said, "It really doesn't hurt."

Tan Yongming asked Pei Miao: "Can this hypnotize you?"

Pei Miao said, "It's slower than medicine, but the benefits are obvious, and there are no side effects. Wait for a while."

Sure enough, within a few minutes, Secretary Tan became sleepy, his eyelids gradually closed, and there was a slight snoring sound.

Seeing this, Tan Yongming couldn't help but marvel: "It turns out that Mr. Pei is also proficient in Chinese medicine, and his acupuncture skills are so good?"

Pei Miao smiled lightly and did not answer. She cut off a small lock of Secretary Tan's hair with scissors, then walked to the table, wrapped the lock of hair in a piece of paper, packed it into a plastic bag with the things on the table, and carried it to the table. He picked up the plastic bag and said, "Let's go to the cemetery."

"En." Tan Yongming nodded excitedly, and walked out of the ward with Pei Miao.

The periphery of the ward was full of people. When they saw the two of them coming out, everyone asked how the situation was. Chen Liang was also in the crowd.

Tan Yongming waved his hand to signal them to be quiet, and then said: "Mr. Pei has rescued my dad, and now my dad needs to rest and cannot be disturbed. You go back first, and come to visit in two days; I want to go out with Mr. Pei now." , Chen Liang, you go in and take care of my dad with your uncle, it's troublesome."

"Mr. Tan, you are too polite, why bother? It's not trouble at all!" Chen Liang was so happy that he quickly opened the door and entered the ward.

The others were unhappy now, why Chen Liang could go in and they couldn't, they were all relatives of Secretary Tan, and even Secretary Tan's own brother was present.

Everyone expressed their dissatisfaction one by one, and had no intention of leaving at all. Tan Yongming frowned suddenly, and said coldly: "Xiao Zhang! Give me the car keys, and you stay to watch the door of the ward. Without my permission, anyone Can't even go in!"

"Yes!" The young driver who was running errands and shopping hurriedly handed over the car keys to Tan Yongming, and then stood in front of the door as if standing in a military posture, staring at everyone imposingly.

Tan Yongming was too lazy to entangle with this group of people, so he pulled Pei Miao away quickly, and Chen Yao hurriedly followed, asking, "What about me? Stay here?"

Of course Pei Miao would not keep Chen Yao here, after all he didn't know these people well, so he said, "Come with us."

After going downstairs, Tan Yongming took Pei Miao and Chen Yao to the parking lot to pick up the car. Although Tan Yongming was young, he was already a big boss with strong assets, but his car was relatively simple. It was an Audi a8l. After the car, Tan Yongming drove the car himself, Chen Yao sat in the co-driver, and Pei Miao sat in the back row, and set off to the cemetery.

There is too much traffic in Luzhou, and there will be small congestions from time to time. They were blocked in a tunnel, and the three of them were bored in the car. Tan Yongming took out cigarettes and handed one to Pei Miao and Chen Yao each. The three opened the windows and smoked.

When men smoke together, they will naturally chat. Tan Yongming witnessed Pei Miao's miraculous methods today, and he is still in shock. He couldn't help but wonder, and asked, "Mr. Pei, is there really someone in this world? Ghost?"

Pei Miao said, "Who knows."

Tan Yongming said: "But when you were in the hospital just now, you said that my father lost his soul."

"A ghost is a ghost, and a living soul is a living soul." Pei Miao said, "It can't be confused. Ghosts are superstitious things, while human souls are condensed by spiritual power and vitality. Foreign scientists have done boring experiments. , at the moment of death, the body will become a little lighter, and this little weight is the weight of the person's soul."

"Oh, it's different..." Tan Yongming nodded frequently, wondering if he understood.

After a while, he asked again: "Why do people lose their souls? I haven't seen it before."

Pei Miao said: "Actually, your father's situation is not as simple as losing his soul. When he was in the cemetery, he was frightened and his soul temporarily left his body. When a person's body deviates, part of it deviates from the body, normal people will be like this when they are frightened, but as long as a second or two, or even shorter, the soul will return to its original position. After returning to its original position, the shaking of the soul will cause the body to appear Some adverse reactions, such as heart palpitations and palpitations, people who are physically weak may get sick, and children who are physically and mentally weak are prone to get sick after being frightened."

"Yes, yes, yes..." Chen Yao hurriedly echoed the words, "When I was a child, every time I was scared, I would have a high fever."

"So that's the case!" Tan Yongming also felt that what Pei Miao said could be confirmed by many things in his life, and he had seen Pei Miao's magical skills, so he naturally believed in Pei Miao's words, so he asked again, " Then my father's situation is..."

Pei Miao said: "Your father was frightened, and the moment his soul deviated from his body, he was attacked by an evil spirit, and the evil thing penetrated into his body, occupying the place that should belong to a soul, and the living soul Being squeezed out of the body, the evil spirits are in your father's body for the purpose of absorbing vitality. Naturally, your father will enter the illusion, that is, the illusion of dreams. Just now in the hospital, I have exorcised the evil spirits for your father. He has amulets all over his body, just to prevent other evil things from invading your father's body."

"Oh...that's it..." Tan Yongming had a look of enlightenment on his face. He originally wanted to ask Pei Miao what the use of those talismans pasted on his father was, but now there was no need to ask, Pei Miao took the initiative to say it.

Chen Yao suddenly asked: "Pei Miao, if a person loses a soul and cannot find it, what should he do? Will he die?"

Pei Miao said: "Under normal circumstances, the soul will not take the initiative to leave the body, because the body has a strong adsorption force on the soul. Without external help, the soul cannot completely leave the body. If a person lacks or incomplete soul, The body will naturally become weak, and there may be a serious illness. In short, it will seriously damage the vitality. If the lost soul cannot be found, it may not necessarily die, but it will suffer from some strange diseases, such as epilepsy, paralysis, etc. Crazy or something. Of course, there are some people who, after losing their souls, will not die or get sick. After careful nursing, they can regenerate the missing soul in their bodies, but such people are very few. "

Tan Yongming asked curiously after hearing the words: "What kind of person can do this?"

"People with a particularly strong spirit." Pei Miao said, "For example, some eminent monks with superb Buddhist teachings, Taoist priests with profound practice, or scholars who have read the books of sages and been educated by sages. , the spirit is strong, even if the soul is missing, it will not cause any great harm to them."

Hearing this, Chen Yao said depressedly, "Well, for mortals like us, once our souls are lost, we will die."

"Not all of them." Pei Miao said, "As long as you practice the way of a gentleman and have an upright heart, you will naturally have righteousness to protect your body. Even if you lose your soul, you won't be in too much danger. However, a serious illness is inevitable, old man. It’s a good saying, don’t do bad things in your life, don’t be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door in the middle of the night, this is actually the truth, once a person does too many bad things, he will have karma and demons.”

Tan Yongming listened very carefully, and nodded after listening, expressing that he was educated.
