_ Hey you two, come here
She raised her hand to call for both husband and wife to understand and then step into the living room that was used as a place for enlightenment for hundreds of families and also to worship the gods. Waiting for Phong to sit down on the short foot opposite him, the teacher then turned around and said to the people there:
_ Today I only take care of these two guys. What's going on tomorrow you two come later.
When the two people sitting on the porch heard that, their hearts felt a bit depressed, but they also knew that if this teacher was specifically enlightening someone, that person must have had a very important spirituality. And there's no one who dares to stay, who knows, maybe while they're having fun, a ghost or demon will enter their body and make them half-dead like Quynh last month. Thinking so, the two quickly left the fortune teller's house, and this time after seeing the gate of their house closed. She did not let Phong speak up and explain the situation clearly, but she spoke first:
_ Did you just encounter something strange under a tree in your new house?
Phong was slightly surprised and replied:
_Yes that's true, how do you know?
_ Strange question, if I don't know how to become a teacher, there I feel there is an enchantment holding a ghost. I don't understand why that map is missing a corner.
The teacher said, pouring out a cup of tea and pushing it towards Phong, then poured another cup for Nhi.
_Drink it to dispel the negative energy in your body.
Phong and his wife took the cup of tea and drank it in one gulp. At this moment, he felt the cold air around him from last night until now being chased away by the heat of that liquid.
_ Yesterday while gardening, I pulled out an iron stake buried under a star apple tree, I don't know if it was that.
Phong said, the fortune teller nodded slightly.
_ I think it must be it, now we have to do a ritual to calm it down. But I keep getting the feeling there's something inside this story.
Nhi sat quietly listening to the two talk. When she saw the teacher mention that the ghost at her house had something wrong, she spoke up:
_ Yesterday in a dream, both husband and I heard the woman calling for her unjust death.
_ Really ?
The fortune teller frowned slightly, a gloomy look on her face.
_ So we can't pacify that demon, we have to find a way to untie this chain of resentment.
After saying that, she immediately went into the house to get a small backpack and then came out and told Phong to take her home to perform the ritual this afternoon. After walking around for a while to buy some more offerings, it was almost evening when the three of them arrived in front of Phong's house. The teacher looked around and then turned around and said to Phong:
_ The resentment in this house is very strong right now, I'm afraid that staying here for a long time will not be good for your health. His wife just got pregnant, so she found an acquaintance's house to sleep over tonight.
_ nervous…
Phong stammered both worried and happy. Nhi looked at her husband and then turned back to the teacher.
_ I was late for a few days and was about to try today?
The teacher waved her hand to indicate that it was not something worth worrying about right now, Phong also quickly took Nhi to the motel and rented a room for her to stay the night. Before leaving, the fortune teller also gave the couple two talismans and told them to always keep them with them in case the demon escaped its seal and would attack.
After arranging a place to sleep for his wife, Phong returned home. At this time, the shaman had set up a ceremony table right in front of the star apple tree.
_ You brought the hoe here.
Phong asked what he was doing, but then he didn't have time to do it because the teacher had already started whispering the steps in a very flexible intonation. The darkness began to cover everything, and under the flickering candlelight, the teacher's figure became even more magical.
_ come here.
The fortune teller suddenly stopped and pointed to a corner and called Phong over. Before he could understand what was going on, she continued:
_ dig this place up.
Phong quickly used the hoe to hit the exact spot the teacher pointed at. After a few hoe strokes, the head of an iron stake was revealed under the light from inside the house and dozens of candles around the tree. Then the second and third time the teacher continued like that, only Phong kept swinging the hoe to dig up a total of three iron stakes arranged in different corners. Not to mention the stake that the couple pulled out yesterday. The fortune teller observed these pile heads, then tied a few talismans on them and set them on fire.
