Ding Li went to save people, but the old man stopped him and said: "This is the cave god marrying his bride. It is a great event. How can you ruin it?"
When this guy Ding Li gets angry, he doesn't care about you. What's more, Ding Li really doesn't like Mr. Miao's abilities: "It's a happy event, why don't you marry your daughter?"
"
Mr. Miao was so angry that he started shouting loudly. Although Ding Li didn't understand what he was talking about, he could think of it and would definitely say that these things were brought in by foreigners like them.
Ding Li was furious and went up to take action without saying a word. Unexpectedly, Miao Laosi was also a practitioner, so the two of them tried several moves but failed to restrain each other.
At this time, Jiang Yang put on a serious face and reprimanded loudly. Yes, it was a reprimand. Mr. Miao's face turned red but he stopped unwillingly.
Ding Li didn't think much about it at all. Wang Yajun kept telling him to respect local customs along the way. But Ding Li didn't think such customs were worth abiding by.
Ding Li and Huang Yue also discussed what Mayang ghosts were along the way, which were different from the ghosts in Han Dynasty. Although Mayang ghosts are called ghosts, the concept of natural spirits can be used.
This is a thing that only appears in places where ancestors and all things are animistic, and it can only be seen in relatively primitive areas. For example, it is an extinct thing in Han Dynasty. Huang Yue has seen it in some places in Southeast Asia.
, it is said that the largest number are now in Africa.
Even most practitioners of magic cannot explain exactly what happens after death. But what is absolutely certain is that there will be no such things as the underworld and the bull-headed horse face. There are people who can be reincarnated, but the number is extremely small.
In relatively primitive places like these, people believe that all things are animistic, and the soul after death is often attached to things such as vegetation, mountains, and rocks. Because human souls are easily lost, most natural spirits have little wisdom and are evil.
Mostly.
These principles are similar to those of zombies, in that the soul can fly easily and the soul can easily stay. These natural spirits are often born from the combination of soul and natural things. These are the so-called Mayang ghosts.
Of course, this is all said by Huang Yue, who is old and mature and has experienced a lot. He has traveled all over the earth in his life and has never seen anything. He has a broad vision and has also learned some Western supernatural things.
Correspondingly, some powerful natural spirits become more and more powerful when they are worshiped by these local people. They become so-called tree gods, mountain gods, etc.
Although these are claimed to be gods, they are actually called "mountain spirits and tree ghosts" in Taoism.
Of course, some of these things are quite good and can help people.
For example, something like this happened in the small county town of Ding Li's hometown. It was said that a sacred tree appeared in a certain countryside, and praying to gods to make wishes was quite effective.
Since that small county town was swept by that fanatical storm, all the Taoist temples were blown up. Since then, almost no one has any faith, of course in religion.
But that "sacred tree" gathered a lot of faith in a short period of time, and people burned incense every day. In a short period of time, the strong incense burned the tree black.
It is said that the sacred tree is quite efficacious. Those who ask for cures sincerely will be given a packet of medicinal powder. It is said that several cancer patients have been cured. Some people have taken the medicine for testing.
Yes, they are just some common medicinal materials, such as licorice and so on. But they can cure diseases.
Later, the police said it was due to feudal superstition, and someone dug up the sacred tree. When the tree was cut down, a lot of blood-like liquid flowed from the tree. The people who cut down the tree were so frightened that they knelt down and kowtowed. Later, it was still mandatory.
The trees were dug up and burned...
However, the few policemen who took action had accidents in a short period of time. They either got cancer or died in the line of duty. In any case, they all had bad endings. At that time, Wan Cripple was invited to see them.
Wan Laizi turned around and left without saying a word, not daring to intervene inside. Maybe even he would not end well.
This incident only happened after Ding Li went to school, and Ding Li only heard about it through Wan Zizi's phone call. Wan Zizi couldn't explain why he came, he only said that the tree had become a spirit.
Ding Li didn't quite believe it at first, because Wan Zizi also said that the tree used to be ordinary, and it was not an ancient tree that had grown for hundreds or thousands of years, but a very ordinary locust tree that had been around for decades.
.Ding Li felt that the book would not become a spirit so quickly!
Later, when we were chatting, I told Zhang Lianjiang that Zhang Lianjiang was more knowledgeable than Ding Li. When I mentioned this matter, I just said that there were many such things all over the country.
Especially in the south, places like Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Jiangxi still retain many ancient traditions. Not only do most places have ancestral halls, but many villages have Taoist temples. Many small roadside temples worship gods that are inexplicable and have no meaning at all.
I have heard that Yang Sanniangniang, King Chen, etc. are all objects of belief only in a small area, and some even only believe in the village. Even the oldest old man in the village cannot explain the ins and outs. But this kind of temple
It is often quite effective.
Don't look at the fact that most of these temples are very simple. They are just a toilet-sized room made of cement. People who don't know it might think it is a roadside toilet. But this kind of temple is quite "evil". No matter how inconspicuous it is,
No one dares to touch these temples.
Even the Han Dynasty, especially the richest place in the south, which is also the place with the most prosperous culture in the past dynasties, is not immune to so many strange things. Not to mention the high mountains and dense forests in western Hunan, which are full of strange and strange things.
Generally speaking, even people from serious Taoist sects will not conflict with these "evil sects". Everyone has nothing to do with them. After all, Taoism is also a polytheistic religion and believes in animism. There is absolutely no such thing as fighting against heretics.
teachings or something.
But Ding Li was young and energetic, not to mention a little girl who served him the honey water with her own hands. Huang Yue wanted to persuade him, but he didn't say anything. He didn't think much of this kind of thing, but Huang Yue also knew that this kind of thing
Things are most likely to cause big trouble.
It doesn’t matter how powerful those “evil sects” are, but it’s a matter of local customs. If you help people, they often won’t be rewarded. Some even more ignorant people will blame you.
But this time, the woman's family asked them for help, and Huang Yue's heart softened and he didn't stop him.
When Ding Li saw Tian Di again, Tian Di was sleeping on the bed. She was already breathless and on the verge of death. Her face was as bright as a peach blossom, and her body exuded a pleasant fragrance. It was so beautiful that it made people's hearts beat.
It’s endless. Just like a sleeping beauty, so beautiful that there is no place for it.
