Northeast Chinese Shamanism: Zhao Tiezhu 东北出马仙之赵铁柱
A folk tale featuring spirit-medium rituals on a heated kang, reading fortunes with millet soaked in sorghum liquor, summoning spirits with a red cloth over the eyes, and offerings of raw eggs streaked with blood and Guandong tobacco.

To deal with a possession, you must first untie the hair cord knotted around a roof beam.
