It was precisely because of the unique structure of this house and the strong negative energy in the single room that Gu Zhisang was sure that the key reason why his 'always smiling' son was haunted by evil spirits was that he lived in such an environment.
After this inference was made, the comments in the live broadcast room refreshed faster.
[This is the real-life version of Walking with Ghosts...]
[The baby is so miserable. When sleeping at night, he won’t turn his head and see ghosts in the room or on the pillow next to him, right? ? ]
Many viewers who woke up in the morning and were still lying in bed watching the show suddenly felt a chill on their backs. They couldn't help but look up at their rooms and huddled deeper into their blankets.
Some viewers were skeptical and still thought that there was something wrong with Old Man Wang.
After all, it was really weird that the boy was led to the dead old man's house next door in the middle of the night.
In the underworld
Billions of ghosts watched the live broadcast of the "Spiritual Affairs" program with great interest.
When they saw 'Always Smiling' walking into the room holding a mobile phone, a small burst of comments broke out on the devices in the underworld. Of course, the comments were very different from those in the world of the living.
"!! Oh my god, this room looks perfect for ghosts to reside in. At night, the yin energy rushes in through the windows. It must be very comfortable."
"We can't be blamed entirely for this incident. This house is decorated like this and is located in the middle of the road. Any ghost would be curious and go in to take a look.
Suddenly there was a child lying in the room, weak and timid, who wouldn't want to pester him to eat some Yang Huo?"
"...I don't know what to say, this kid is simply a lamb delivered to my door."
After Gu Zhisang looked at the two old houses, she asked "Smiling" to return to the hotel where she lived and take a picture of her son's current situation for her to see.
'Smiling' was already at a loss as to what to do. He nodded repeatedly upon hearing this, turned off the camera and ran towards the hotel he rented.
She had a room card with her, and when she swiped the card to enter, her father-in-law and husband were sitting in the suite.
The husband kept an eye on his sleeping son, touching his face from time to time to see if it was hot and checking whether the talismans on his body were tightly attached, for fear that he would break free and bounce back and go crazy.
My father-in-law was wearing reading glasses, squinting his eyes as he held his mobile phone to read the words on the screen, and reading Buddhist scriptures word by word with an accent, as if this could purify the negative energy from his grandson.
Both were startled to see their wife/daughter-in-law rush through the door, breathless and sweaty.
"What's wrong with you? Why are you so anxious? Did something happen to the master?"
'Laughing' wiped the sweat off his face with his sleeve and said, "I don't have time to explain to you now."
She walked to her son's bed and took a picture of her son Xiao He's face with her mobile phone.
Just as the camera was pointed at the boy's face and she wanted to take two more pictures, Xiao He, who was unconscious on the bed, suddenly opened his eyes with a murderous look on his face.
He bared his teeth, struggled upwards, and opened his mouth to bite the base of his mother's palm.
'Always Smiling' was frightened by this sudden change and screamed. Her face and lips turned pale. She took two steps back and fell to the ground, dropping the phone in her hand.
"you……"
Seeing her fall, the boy seemed to have seen something strange and funny. He grinned and squinted his eyes and laughed.
Audience: !!
The laughter was shrill and strange, and it was transmitted into the device that was still connected to Gu Zhisang's live broadcast room. Millions of netizens on the other end felt creepy and broke out in cold sweats.
Fortunately, my family has gotten used to it in the past two days.
The middle-aged man, who was already skilled in the business, stood up, picked up another talisman and stuck it on his son's head, and helped his wife up from the ground:
"Why are you provoking 'it' for no reason? This is..."
When the man lowered his head, he saw the live broadcast on his wife’s mobile phone screen.
After seeing Gu Zhisang's face, his eyes widened, "Isn't this the female celebrity who is very popular on the Internet, the master of metaphysics? Are you contacting her and asking her for help?!"
'Laughing' nodded, briefly explained that he was selected to interact in the live broadcast room, and then privately sent the two photos he had just taken to Gu Zhisang:
"Master Gu, do you think this is okay?"
After receiving the photo, Gu Zhisang clicked on the enlarged picture. After just one glance, she looked up at the camera and said:
"I guessed correctly before. The ghost that squeezed out your son's soul and spirit and is now hiding in his body is not the deceased who lives next door to you."
With her eyes that could see through souls, she could see that the ghost in Xiao He's body was a ghost child about five or six years old, who looked stranger and fatter than ordinary children.
Its nose and facial features were fleshy and blunt, and it clearly looked simple and honest, but its face was filled with resentment and its smile was cunning, making it look even more hideous.
Since the appearance of a ghost is mostly frozen at the moment before death, this ghost child's skin is bluish purple and his eyeballs are slightly bulging.
Not like a normal death.
It seems more like he died suddenly or was murdered for some reason during his lifetime.
It was precisely because it had so much resentment in it that it caused Xiao He to have such a strong reaction after it entangled him.
Gu Zhisang described the appearance of the ghost child he saw and asked:
"Have any children died unexpectedly in your village? They must have suffocated to death due to unnatural causes. They were probably about five or six years old before they died, and they might have had some disease."
“Children who died young will become more vicious ghosts than adult ghosts;
In addition, ghost children are naughty and often more homesick than other ghosts. They will always linger near their former family members, so it can be basically confirmed that it was a person from your village in its former life."
'Always smiling' The couple looked confused and said they had never heard of such a child in the village.
The old man wearing reading glasses felt that it sounded more and more familiar. He suddenly thought of something and shouted:
"I know who he is! The old man I told you to call Second Uncle when we visited before, his eldest son died when he was about six years old, and he looked exactly like what Master Gu described!
You weren’t born yet at that time, so you naturally didn’t know.”
The husband who always smiles frowned slightly and asked, "Doesn't my second uncle only have a pair of children? I haven't heard that he had children before?"
The old man sighed and said, "Alas, this matter is also a mess. Why would I tell you young people that the child is your second uncle's ex-wife's!"
"Speaking of that child, he was pitiful. When he was born, the hospital said he had a disease. It was called something, some disease... Anyway, he was born a fool!"
"Down syndrome?"
"I really forgot about that. Anyway, I just remember that the child had a sunken face and mouth, his eyes were a little slanted, and he couldn't learn to talk or walk even when he was three or four years old. At that time, people in the village said that your second uncle's family must have done something wrong, otherwise how could such a smart family give birth to a child like this? They would have to support him for the rest of his life."
The old man recalled and said, "Your second uncle had an old lady who was thin, short, and half paralyzed due to illness. She had a terrible temper. I remember that she was the most violent tempered among women since I was a child.
Because the daughter-in-law gave birth to such a stupid child, their family cried and quarreled every day, and the relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was particularly strained. "
"As a result, when my second uncle's mother was seriously ill, she didn't know what she was thinking. She smothered her own grandson to death with a pillow when my second uncle and his wife were out doing farm work..."
This incident caused a sensation in the whole village at that time.
No one expected that the old lady could be so cruel!
When my second uncle's wife returned home, she found that the child's body was all purple.
She held the child and cried loudly, but the sick and half-dead old lady did not regret it at all. She wiped her tears and said:
"Don't blame me for being cruel. I can't let this fool grandson drag down my son for the rest of his life! He's such a fool that he can't even pass on the family line. You guys can't bear to let me, a dying old woman, commit this sin! You two are still young and can have two healthy children."
Behind her, my second uncle's wife was about to smash her cruel mother-in-law to death with a shovel, but was quickly stopped by the villagers nearby.
Then she wanted to report to the police and have her mother-in-law go to jail. Her second uncle even mobilized all the aunts and uncles to beg her, saying that her mother was in her seventies and eighties, and if she went to jail, wouldn't that be the same as killing her?
Other distant relatives and neighbors also advised her, saying that her mother-in-law was actually cutting the Gordian knot for the sake of the couple's future.
But the angry second aunt insisted on calling the police and asked the local police to arrest her dying mother-in-law.
Within two months, the old woman passed away, and my second uncle divorced my second aunt.
The two families had a huge quarrel and became enemies.
This incident was a hot topic of discussion and after-dinner chat for more than half a year.
My father-in-law, who always smiles, was in his forties at the time and witnessed the whole incident in the village.
When the child who was born with a mental retardation was carried out of the yard by his mother, he looked at him from a distance. The child's hands were indeed black and purple, which was quite scary.
In the following year or two, some people in the village said that they could hear children crying and laughing at night.
Then he left the village and went out to do business, and forgot about the matter.
When I returned home, I found out that my second uncle had remarried and had a pair of children.
以前的事情早就没有人提了。
顾之桑刚刚的形容，才又一下子把他记忆中关于二叔公家里的那桩事挖出来。
听完老爷子的讲述，摩擦着通宝钱币的顾之桑点点头道：
“应该就是那个孩子死后化为的怨鬼童子，它心中有对生前被捂死之事的怨恨和不甘，但却因为魂魄有损——否则它上辈子也不会生下来就是痴傻、就带有疾病，再加上它的神智只有三到五岁，它根本不知道怎么发泄心中的怨气，也不明白什么叫做被抛弃；
所以一直以来它只是在村里逗留。”
顾之桑推测，这个鬼童本是要去报复自己的奶奶。
可那个老太太本来身体就不好，自己下手捂死孩子这件事，也让她受到了诸多人的指责。
还不等鬼童报复，她自己就去了。
失去了报复对象的鬼童很茫然，固执地在村里变成野鬼游**。
'笑口常开’初听这个小孩儿的遭遇时还心有很怜惜，但一想到它那么折磨自己的儿子，又有些愤怒：
“那小贺也没招惹它吧？它为何要害我的儿子？！”
顾之桑无奈道：“我之前说过，风水中‘横宅’本就容易聚集阴煞吸引鬼魂，这间屋子又挡在路中，对鬼魂来说更是惹眼，吸引来一些阴魂不是什么奇怪的事情。”
“巧就巧在这间屋子是比着儿童房建造的，屋里还有许多玩具摆设，又常年无人居住，所以这鬼童被吸引过来后应该对此处非常满意，就在这间屋子里寄居了，估计有两三年甚至更久了。”
在鬼童的心里，这里就是它的地盘。
结果今年‘笑口常开’的儿子住了进来。
入夜之后，重新钻回房间的鬼童便发现自己的小窝被一个‘外人’占了的，这无异于坟冢被人刨了、那人还大咧咧睡在自己的棺材里。
这样的画面怎能不让鬼童生气？
于是它就报复了男孩儿小贺，让他频频噩梦、晚上沉沉压在他胸口上让他喘不过气来。
在报复的过程中，曾经它横死而积压的怨念被勾起，手段便越来越凶恶。
这样被折腾了一两天晚上，男孩儿小贺的阳火就弱了，身体内的生气阳气都丝丝缕缕地往外泄。
这更让其他被吸引到附近的孤魂野鬼食指大动，吸附在他的周围吞噬阳火。
待小贺每天白天都蔫头蔫脑、觉得浑身提不起劲儿，也没有胃口昏昏沉沉时，他体内的阳气已外泄太多了。
趁着这个时候，对他身体虎视眈眈的鬼童很轻易地就把他的一魂一魄挤了出去，鸠占鹊巢。
原本只是想报复、欺负小贺的鬼童一进入身体，发现自己能够像活人一样感受到温度、味道，能沐浴在阳光下；
尽管它的神智低下，但作为鬼的本能还是让它不愿意离开了。
它想抢夺小贺的身体。
小贺这两天又哭又笑、形似疯癫，其实都是鬼童在操控他的身体。
稍稍解释了一下小贺体内的鬼童由来后，顾之桑话锋一转：
“我之所以在没见到你们家的‘横宅’、没看到你儿子的时候，就说你儿子遭遇的事和你们对门的死者关系不大，是因为我看了死者生前的面相。”
“老实、敦厚、性格温吞，尽管这些都不算什么值得称赞的特点，但从根基上奠定了它死后也不是个会作恶多端的鬼。”
顾之桑语气顿了一下，有些复杂说道：
“根据我的推测和演算，这个老鬼意外猝死之后也因为淡淡的不甘，变成了一个能力不强的鬼。”
'笑口常开’拍王老头的遗像，这个行为本身虽然不太礼貌，但却让顾之桑的推演更加方便、更为精准。
因为遗像是一个人生前和死后的连接，要比普通照片能够搭建的联系更紧密，感应到的能量更多。
顾之桑几乎是刚将手掌贴上黑白遗像上，便看到了王老头那佝偻消瘦的魂魄。
她共感时最深的感觉，是麻木、苦涩。
以及被掩盖得极深的淡淡不甘——对人生的。
从王老头的视角来看，他无疑是羡慕‘笑口常开’的公公的。
对方比自己有胆量，有能力，还有幸福的后半生和家庭；
同时他拿着那些来自隔壁的接济，心里也是感激的。
一年前的时候王老头还能拄着拐在外面溜达溜达。
那时他就见过隔壁家那个可爱乖巧的小孙子，也听到‘笑口常开’夫妻俩闲谈时说，要给隔壁的老伙计办80大寿。
他掐指头算算，自己明年也要80了，却无儿无女没人在意，一时间心中无比艳羡。
王老头想，到时候隔壁的老邻居肯定会邀请自己，在酒席上自己跟着蹭蹭光，也算是体验了过大寿是什么滋味了。
可他连蹭席的时候都没等到，就突发疾病猝死在了**。
变成鬼魂的王老头坐在炕上，静静地看着自己面目扭曲的尸体变僵、变臭，心中很是悲哀。
一天两天过去了，直到最后也是邻居的老伙计发现它已死了，替它收了尸。
它心中苦涩异常，觉得自己这辈子怎么就活成了这个样子？
临去地府前它最后一个愿望，就是等等老伙计办80大寿的酒席，它还是想去席上看一看寿宴的风光热闹。
这是它留在阳间最后的执念了。
谁知道寿宴还没办起来，老伙计家里的小孙子就遭了殃，被一群大鬼小鬼缠着吸阳气。
才一两天的时间那孩子脸都发青了。
老鬼看着小贺那么乖巧又可怜，心生不忍。
但它不知道怎么通知老伙计一家，心里又感念之前的恩情，最后只能用自己的方法保护一下小贺。
之所以那些孤魂野鬼都能缠上小贺，就是因为小贺睡的屋子横在路中，路过的野鬼都能感受到他身上的阳气，并且他们家的房子本身就有问题。
要想把小贺从困境解救出来，就得让他离开那屋子，身上的阳火气儿还不能泄露、不能被那些野鬼发现。
于是老鬼就把他招到自己的屋来。
虽然死过人的被窝对阳间的人来说，确实有点晦气、骇人，但床榻里的死气恰巧能够掩盖住小贺身上的活人生气，让外面那些孤魂野鬼找不到他。
'笑口常开’一家人觉得恐怖，可对于小贺来说，他在王老头屋子里住的那一晚，才是他这一个多星期真真正正睡过的一天好觉。
不明所以、不懂风水的‘笑口常开’一家人并不知道，王老头的此举是在保护他们的孩子，反而视它为豺狼虎豹，还要请灵媒来降了它。
殊不知真正需要降服、驱逐的根本就不是王老头。
他们白费一番功夫，不仅仅会把有良善的好鬼除掉，染上不必要的孽力，还会耽搁儿子小贺的最佳抢救时间。
根据小贺原来的命格线，他在灵媒和父母亲人忙着对付王老头的时候，虚弱的身体同那丢失的一魂一魄之间的联系会彻底断掉。
他身体里的鬼童子会趁机不断侵蚀他的魂魄。
等到‘笑口常开’和灵媒们灭了王老头，发现孩子的情况非但没有好转，反而更加严重了，才终于反应过来。
等‘笑口常开’带着孩子重新找到能力强大的玄师，又费时费力把孩子体内逞凶的鬼童子赶出去时，小贺丢失的魂魄已超半数，好几条都找不回来了。
他后半生因此而痴痴呆呆，被毁了一辈子。
可怜的王老头生前过得苦，死后做了好事，还惨遭魂飞魄散的下场。
听完这一切反转，无论是‘笑口常开’一家人还是直播间内的观众都久久不能回神。
【怪不得……这样一切都说得通了，那个老大爷是想用自己屋子里的死气，帮助小男孩儿躲鬼！】
【儿子实惨，天降横祸啊。】
【所以说确实有厉鬼做恶，但也有好鬼在帮忙。】
【求助人之前是不是说，她找的灵媒今天中午就要在那个老人家的坟头做法？！现在十点过了啊，是不是要开始了？】
【卧槽这个老爷爷太苦了，真的太苦了，可千万不能让好鬼没有好报啊！】
【快去阻止那个灵媒！】
看到刷新的弹幕，‘笑口常开’也意识到了这一点，连忙让丈夫给灵媒打电话。
可打了三四遍，电话都没人接听。
老爷子在屋里急得直拍大腿，连声‘哎哟’：“咱们错怪王老哥了，它是小贺的恩人！你们快过去让那个大师停手，快去啊！”
'笑口常开’的丈夫连连点头，“我现在就过去！”
一直躺在**发出怪叫的鬼童虽然不太能听懂这些人类说的话，但它作为灵体，对福祸和危险感知非常敏锐。
察觉到这些人对自己不怀好意，它用着小贺的身体发出阵阵尖锐叫声。
声音沿着‘笑口常开’的手机，清晰地传到了直播间里，弹幕满屏的感叹号和各种‘富强民主’、佛家六字真言、驱邪咒……
Gu Zhisang crossed his fingers and lowered his eyes, feeling a little annoyed by the cries that were getting louder and louder, like a baby's cry.
She looked at the camera and said solemnly, "Shut up."
For some reason, the ghost child on the other side of the camera was very obedient, like a cat with its neck pinched, and its meowing suddenly stopped.
This is because Gu Zhisang just used the Taoist "Mantra", which has a similar effect to the Word Spirit and can convey power and deterrence through sound.
The ghost child on the other end felt the powerful force contained in Gu Zhisang's voice and became scared.
After waiting for a while, the 'smiling' husband finally called and said he had stopped the psychic.
He was terrified when he arrived at Old Man Wang's grave.
Because the psychic had already pasted many talismans around the grave mound and was also sprinkling talisman water on the grave, the killing formation had already been set up.
Fortunately, the time had not yet reached the peak of Yang energy, and the psychic had not had time to use the peach wood to kill the soul.
After being stopped, he was a little confused and even a little angry.
But after the 'always smiling' husband explained everything to him, the medium's expression changed from displeasure to hesitation and finally to a drastic change of expression.
His face turned pale and he smiled bitterly, "I'm really not very familiar with Feng Shui. I almost made a big mistake!"
"Who is the master who gave you this advice? She also helped me resolve a bad force, so I want to thank her in person."
After learning about Gu Zhisang's identity, the psychic who rarely goes online was quite shocked. With the help of her "always smiling" husband, she registered and entered Gu Zhisang's live broadcast room and sincerely thanked Gu Zhisang.
Seeing the psychic coming in, Gu Zhisang took the opportunity to tell him the method of exorcising the ghost child, as well as the things that needed to be prepared and the rituals to be performed.
Xiao He's situation still needs to be resolved as soon as possible, and although this psychic has some skills, he has not received any formal training, so his vision is not good enough.
In addition, the method that Gu Zhisang taught him, although also forcibly exorcising evil spirits, was slightly milder than the method used by ordinary masters to scare away ghosts.
If the ghost child refuses to leave and continues to commit evil, we will have to take ruthless action.
After her suggestion, the psychic suddenly got an epiphany and wanted to worship her as his master right there in the live broadcast room.
In the end, the program team did not close the backstage private message channel of "Always Smiling", so that the psychic could consult Gu Zhisang if he encountered any difficult problems in the subsequent exorcism of the child ghost.
When they came off the stage, the 'Smiling' family once again expressed their sincere gratitude to Gu Zhisang.
At the same time, they also made it clear in the live broadcast room that after Xiao He's body returns to normal and his soul is recovered, they will invest again to repair Old Man Wang's grave.
The old man said that he would let his son ask Old Man Wang to be his godfather, so that Old Man Wang would not be so lonely. He also reserved a special place for Old Man Wang on his 80th birthday this year.
From now on, when burning incense and paper during festivals, they will also bring a portion for Old Man Wang to express their family’s gratitude.
After the family expressed their gratitude profusely and got off the microphone, the audience in the live broadcast room noticed a prompt at the top and bottom of the screen, which allowed them to rate the interaction.
The 'Always Smiling' family scored full marks, but their score only accounted for half of the total.
After the two-minute scoring time was over, Gu Zhisang saw that the score column on the right side of his screen, which was originally blank, had changed to 97.7.
She actually thinks that this score is already too high, because she has always had a lot of black fans, and there are many nitpickers on the show, and it is not ruled out that these people will deliberately give her a low score.
However, passers-by and fans who watched the entire process in the live broadcast room were somewhat dissatisfied and felt that the request for help was impeccable.
Gu Zhisang said: "Okay, then let's pick out the next interactive audience member."
She thought for a moment and said, "If I see someone asking for help in a more urgent and real way in the comment section next time, but no one has been selected to participate, next time I will directly select from them like I did in the previous show."
The second round of drawing people was over quickly.
Gu Zhisang glanced at the backstage push and asked, "Is the viewer nicknamed 'Jasmine' in the live broadcast room?"
Jasmine: [I am the anchor! Was I really chosen?! ]
Gu Zhisang said 'hmm' and asked, "How would you like to interact?"
