The search of the soul between Pumi de Lanping

Pumi de Lanping thinks that there are two types of spirits, that thing about the alive ones and those of the dead persons. Those of the alive ones covet the meal and the clothes of a person, and sometimes, it is enough to cross with a person whose spirit covets to feel sick later. For it in story one comes back home a wooden tablita is cut, there puts itself to the fire and done on her a little of bonemeal and clothes already sewed in role, leaving that the patient sighs to the sky, praying later: "What you want to eat and want to dress, we give it to you. Please it liberates this person of the illness and veto.", After burning these things, they are placed on the table and take to a crossing out of the village, where they are left and it turns without looking behind.

Other times think that the soul has left the person while he was sleeping, then they realize the following ceremony. In half of the night, when one listens to the first singing of the rooster, his mother or another relative goes out at the edge of the house with the cap or hairdo of the patient. He rings at the doorbell three times, opens it, and murmurs the name of the patient, says the following prayer:

"So-and-so, returns rapidly
Do not hide under the big tree
The tigers and leopards might eat you
Do not hide next to the way
Wolves and jackals can come running to eat up
If you continue out it is very dangerous
It is sure that you are spending famine
At home the meal is already warm
They all wait for you to eat and to drink
It returns rapidly, returns rapidly."

If calling him thus during three nights the patient does not recover they will go in search of a fortune teller so that it foresees. The fortune teller will study the places where the patient moved. After foreseeing, in the tree where it sees lowering an ara�ita it will be said that it is the soul of the patient who approaches him.
