I carefully identified the painting. Although it looked unknown, its newness was much newer than the calendar on it. And I took a closer look. Our folk paintings
New Year painting techniques are not reflected in this painting, such as printing and dyeing. The imprints of this painting are clear, the edges are sharp, and the paper is white, but the white part does not retain the yellowing after years.
.So I concluded that this painting was posted recently.
If Uncle Liang posted it himself, he obviously had no reason to cover the painting with a calendar on top of it. And I compared it carefully and found that the size of the painting and the calendar are exactly the same.
Yes, the calendar has been there for a long time. Judging from the date on the calendar, Uncle Liang has not flipped through this calendar for at least a long time, and has not taken it down after the time has passed. It is very likely that he has forgotten its existence at all.
.How could such a person post a brand new portrait underneath? Not to mention, the most direct victim of this incident is Uncle Liang himself. No one would be stupid enough to punish himself, right?
At this time, Hu Zongren also saw this portrait, but he showed a surprised expression. So I asked Hu Zongren, what's wrong? Do you understand anything? Hu Zongren said, the person in this portrait looks like us Taoists
Puhua Tianzun! I retorted to Hu Zongren and said, what nonsense are you talking about? My ancestors have all been forgotten. How could Puhua Tianzun look like this?
I'm not lying. Although I'm not a Taoist, after all, the two families of Taoism and witchcraft have a great connection. Many places are even connected. It's just that some things are understood from different angles. Universal Tianzun is a Taoist.
The reason why a deity in China is called Tianzun is because the word "Tianzun" is the highest and the highest in Taoism. The full name of Puhua Tianzun is "Nine Heavens Yingyuan Thunder and Universal Transformation Tianzun".
It is also commonly known as "Thor" among the people. Many people may laugh when they see this, saying that Thor is not the big blond man, wearing a suit of armor, and a movie character with a red cape? In fact, Thor has always existed in various cultures.
It took thousands of years of accumulation to formulate the current image. But Hu Zongren said that this is the Universal Heavenly Lord. I can't agree with anything. A year ago, in Fu Qiang's cabin on the 18th ladder, Fu Qiang awarded me and
Hu Zongren has two pointing talismans, a Nine Phoenix Lord talisman and a thunder talisman. When the thunder talisman here is summoned, it is the summoned Universal Heavenly Lord. So in this view, I think I am not wrong.
.
Hu Zongren said to me, this is true. The portraits of the Nine Heavens Yingyuan Thunder Universalization Heavenly Lord that you saw before were largely humanized in Taoist legends and myths, because people who believe in Taoism
Most people believe that if they practice hard, they will achieve enlightenment and become immortals one day. However, immortals live in the sky and people on the earth cannot see them. Therefore, they use their own appearance and the descriptions of immortals by their predecessors to create the immortals.
Each one of them has become a human being, but they have some very distinctive features in distinguishing them.
Hu Zongren went on to say, do you know the birthday boy? I said of course I know. Hu Zongren said that in the folk impression, the birthday boy is a person with a cane in his hand, a smile on his face, and a long beard, but he
He has a big forehead, right? I said yes. The first time I saw the birthday boy was in Journey to the West. I was still amazed at that time and said how hard it was to hang such a big lump of flour on my forehead.
Ah. Hu Zongren knew that talking nonsense to me would usually end in a disastrous defeat for him, so he skipped my answer and went on to say, then you also know Erlang Shen, right? I said you have so many Taoist gods, how can I remember them?
Not complete, but I am still very familiar with this. Isn’t it the best to let a dog bite people? Hu Zongren clapped his hands and said, isn’t this the end? We distinguish some gods, but in fact it has little to do with their appearance, but
It lies in their other characteristics. For example, Erlang Shenjun, his most striking feature is the eyes on his forehead and the roaring dog next to him. If you have these two things, do you think it matters what he looks like?
Hu Zongren is usually very silly. When it comes to some Taoist things, he is indeed much better than me. Although I don’t want to admit it, I was convinced by him at that moment. But I still said a little unconvinced, even if
You are right. The portrait in this portrait has a human face with a bird's beak. There is neither a whip in the hand nor a unicorn riding on the hip. Why do you say that this person is the Nine Heavens Ying Yuan Thunder Universal Transformation God? Hu Zongren laughed out loud.
Now, having said this, you are really not as good as me. The Nine Heavens Yingyuan Thunder Universal Transformation God we talk about often specifically refers to the god responsible for making thunder. Many people among the people do not believe in Taoism, so naturally they don’t know that the Nine Heavens Yingyuan is universal.
What does Yuan Lei Sheng Puhua Tianzun look like? To them, our God of Thunder is actually basically the same thing as the God of Thunder in their mouth.
Hu Zongren continued to say that this has led to some people who have special worship methods to think that they are worshiping the God of Thunder, but in fact, they are still enshrining our God of Thunder. When Hu Zongren said this, I suddenly remembered, this face
The portrait of the bird's beak really seems to be that of a thunder god.
It’s unmistakable. In terms of appearance, the person in the portrait is indeed our folk depiction of Thunder God. And the prototype of Thunder God is actually as Hu Zongren said, although it is not the original deity of the Nine Heavens Yingyuan Thunder Universal Transformation God.
, but on the way to worship, it can be regarded as borrowing flowers to offer to the gods. Hu Zongren then said to me, the person in this portrait is actually Lei Zhenzi, do you know Lei Zhenzi? I said of course I know, in the list of gods, it is Zhou Wen
Wang Jichang’s 100th child is also Yun Zhongzi’s apprentice. Hu Zongren said, yes, in mythology, the reason why Lei Zhenzi is what he is now is because of Yun Zhongzi. After speaking, Hu Zongren stretched out his hand
Pointing to the portrait on the door.
Naturally, Hu Zongren and I did not have time to discuss this legend in this dilapidated house thousands of years later. Since Hu Zongren and I both recognized that the person in the portrait was actually Empress Lei Zhenzi.
, we can be considered to have reached an agreement on this issue. But soon Hu Zongren looked at the portrait and frowned again and said, but if you say it is Lei Zhenzi, there seems to be something wrong. I asked Hu Zongren, why is it wrong again?
Why are there so many things wrong with you all day long? Hu Zongren said, first of all, Lei Zhenzi doesn’t wear shoes, and his feet are like bird claws. Furthermore, Lei Zhenzi can fly, so he should have wings on his back. I didn’t take it.
Because I really have no right to speak, I wanted to make a fool of myself, but I thought that if I spilled the beans, I would have to be laughed at by Hu Zongren. That would be such a humiliating thing. Hu Zongren went on to say, and the folk thunder
The appearance and the weapons in his hands are also different from those in this portrait. Lei Gong should be holding a machete in one hand and a large iron chisel in the other. Why is it turned into a small stick and a pen here?
Hu Zongren reached out to pick out the four words "able in literature and martial arts" again, then looked at his fingernails, and said to me in confusion, "It's strange, this painting is a print, but this
But the four words were written by hand. Damn it, I really don’t know what’s wrong with this painting.
There must be something strange, but we haven't discovered it yet. And this painting is obviously related to religion, but we can't know whether it is related to the strange things in this whole room and the legendary White Lotus Sect. We are separated from each other.
When I opened the door, I heard Uncle Liang's breathing coming and going, so I reminded Hu Zongren that we should not stay here for too long and exit the door first. Hu Zongren nodded, and then pulled off the hanging
I had been holding up the calendar on the door with my hands, then tore off the painting that looked suspiciously like Lei Zhenzi's, rolled it up, and then exited the room one after the other with me.
After we went out, Sister Liang asked us what happened. She probably knew from our expressions that we were in big trouble. Naturally, she didn't have to worry about us. We were not relatives. She was worried about her father inside.
Hu Zongren and I didn’t answer her. I just took out a piggy bank and put it in front of Sister Liang, saying that I found this thing in the closet next to your father’s bed. If you look carefully, you know this thing.
The origin of?
When she saw the piggy bank, Sister Liang was suddenly surprised, and then asked me, why did you go through my father's closet, and why did you just take out this piggy bank? I felt a little aggrieved and said, then
It's because I have to be responsible for you. I want to find out why your father was haunted by ghosts and got ghost disease. Fortunately, I looked through it and found that the supernatural reaction on this piggy bank is probably related to your father's current situation.
If the symptoms are directly related, you can either tell me everything you can remember, or you can find someone else to help you!
After saying that, I slapped the compass on the side of the piggy bank, then pointed to the pointer on the compass and said to Sister Liang, take a good look at it for yourself, would the pointer of a normal jar rotate so sharply?
The pointer on the compass was still rotating violently, but I quickly noticed that even so, the range of its rotation was much smaller than when I was beside the bed just now. Could it be that this piggy bank has nothing to do with Uncle Liang?
If they were together, would they still echo each other?
Sister Liang saw that I was a little angry and seemed a little embarrassed. So she picked up the piggy bank and told Hu Zongren and me that this piggy bank was a birthday gift bought by her father when she was a child. She has always
I thought I couldn't find it a long time ago, but who knew my father still kept it.
