Chapter 4 Subduing Demons and Eliminating Demons (3)
"Okay, aunt, go see your mother-in-law. She should be fine."
At this time, the child on the kang was still blue and blue just now, but now he is getting better. Although he is still a little pale, his eyes are bright and lively, and he will laugh when he sees people. At first glance, he is fine.
Li Gengfa put the mahogany stick on the table, making a crisp "knock" sound, poured a glass of water, shook the blood on his middle finger, said nothing, and waited for the Li family's wife to come back.
After a while, Li's daughter-in-law came back to the house with a face full of joy, "It's amazing. My mother-in-law was out of breath just now, and now she can actually move around. You are really a living god."
Li Reform shook his head, "Let me ask you, did you kill a whole brood of yellow fairy in the spring last year?"
Hearing this, the woman's face suddenly changed, and she suddenly showed a look of fear and regret, "Hey, this happened last year. Later, I heard from the villagers that Huang Xian should not be beaten when encountering him.
I regretted it endlessly, but this year was going well, nothing happened, and I thought it was over."
Folks have had five immortals since ancient times, which are called "Fox Yellow, White Willow Gray". Among them, fox refers to fox (fox); yellow refers to yellow immortal (weasel); white refers to white immortal (hedgehog); willow refers to Liuxian (snake).
); gray refers to the gray fairy (mouse).
Since the Xia Dynasty in China, there has been a folk legend that Dayu married the daughter of the Tushan clan, a nine-tailed white fox, when he was controlling floods, and gave birth to Qi, the first monarch of the Xia Dynasty. This has been passed down from generation to generation, so people believe that foxes have spirituality.
It can cause mischief, become a demon, and become an immortal. At the same time, it can also heal people's illnesses.
In the old days, Tianjin built the Temple of the Third Master in Hebei, and there was also a statue of the Third Master Hu in the Tianhou Palace. Believers often went there to offer incense and worship. Hu Xian was steady and solemn by nature, and he understood ethics. He was called a disciple of the Fox Fairy clan, and many of his disciples met him.
Pay attention to your own practice. No matter how you dress or talk or behave, you will be polite and beautiful. If you deceive your disciples and bring trouble to the immortal family and disciples, then don't think about it.
In the old days, I heard that when the fox fairy transformed into a human form for the first time, he had to hold a human head on his head and worship the moon before he could transform.
Huangxian, that is, the weasel, is called "Huang Er Taiye" by the people. In the old days, there was a statue of him in the Tianhou Palace. It is enshrined and worshiped for two reasons. One is because it is as beautiful as a fox.
It also has a cunning temperament, which makes people feel mysterious; another important reason is that it is believed to be able to influence people's spiritual world, and is related to a kind of mental disorder. This kind of mental disorder is called "hysteria", and is commonly known as "Zhuang Ke" among the people.
People believe that once a weasel possesses the body, hysteria will occur, and most of them will be women or people with mental depression. When this disease occurs, people will cry and sing, telling some mysterious things or injustices in their lives. Some people will cry and sing.
People can also sing some beautiful poems. People with hysteria do not recognize their family members and friends when they are sick, and their speaking tone is different from Hershey's. Some people say that there are small rolling balls under the skin of the patients, and they can be healed by pricking them with needles.
To kill the possessed weasel, the patient can usually be treated by pricking the patient's body with acupuncture.
This is because Huang Xian is charming for the first time. He must eat all the entrails of the dead and live in the belly of the corpse before he can control the charm.
There is also a strange phenomenon. Legend has it that as long as a doctor, wizard or someone who has fought a weasel coughs outside the door, the attack will stop immediately and become like a normal person. Although this kind of hysteria will not leave any sequelae, it is difficult to be completely cured.
It is easy to get sick multiple times.
Huang Xian is an agile spirit by nature and knows how to work around accidents. After being supported by Huang Xian, most of his disciples will be agile and energetic, especially in dealing with interpersonal relationships.
White Immortal is a hedgehog. There are different folk opinions about the worship of White Immortal. It heals people's diseases and is proficient in witchcraft. In the old days, the statue of the Black Old Lady was enshrined in Thean Hou Palace. In 1966, the "Cultural Revolution"
"It was destroyed during the period. It was rebuilt in 1995 with donations from pilgrims, and the legend is even more bizarre.
Liuxian is a snake. People's worship of snakes also comes from ancient times. It is said that Fuxi and Nuwa are gods with human heads and snake bodies. Snakes are often considered to be the incarnation of dragons, so if you are a snake among the twelve zodiac signs,
If you are a human, you are said to be a little dragon. People believe that snakes have aura, and their shapes are strange. They can lie dormant, hide and shed their skins, and they can move secretly and sensitively. They have greater magic power than foxes. They can also take the form of humans and have the ability to capture objects from thousands of miles away.
The Chang Mang Immortal family is brave and upright by nature, and is good at hoarding and hoarding. After the Chang Mang Immortal, the disciples are neither humble nor arrogant, and they are generous. Their financial situation is also rich and abundant. The ghosts and immortals all come from the human body, and the Ding Gui Immortal Queen
, naturally understand the true meaning of life.
When Chang Mang, a ghost and immortal family, takes possession of the physical body for the first time, he must tightly bind all the acupuncture points and pulses to make the physical body unstable and walk without heels, so that he can approach the altar.
The gray fairy is the rat. The worship of the rat is because it is active in the dark day and night, making its tracks unpredictable. Therefore, it is considered to be highly intelligent and deified. Some people regard it as a warehouse.
It is a god that is worshiped during folk warehouse-filling festivals. It is also believed that the rat can predict the future, tell fortunes, and make people rich. Therefore, it is also regarded as the god of wealth, and it is hoped that it will bring wealth to the owner's house in the dark.
In the worship of the five great families, the people are more in awe of the Fox Fairy, Huang Fairy and White Fairy. There are also many miraculous legends about them. They are attached to the Third Master Hu, the Second Master Huang and the Black Old Lady. Among them are the
Hu Xian and Huang Xian like wine, cigarettes and poultry as offerings; Chang Xian and Python Xian like to twist their bodies, walk upside down on their shells, and drink raw eggs as offerings; ghost immortals like big bowls of tea and bitter tablets, etc.
support.
Most of the beliefs of the five major families disappeared after the founding of the People's Republic of China. The most important reason is that after the founding of the People's Republic of China, animals were not allowed to become spirits. Feng shui in many places was bulldozed and turned into skyscrapers rising from the ground.
After rural civilization, gradually no one believed in these things.
In the Song Dynasty, somewhere in Shanxi, there was a family who had been farmers for generations and was not rich. Their life was miserable. There were three people in the family. The couple lived with a young child. Although they were poor, they were still happy and content with the world.
Plow a few acres of thin land and raise some livestock.
One evening, the couple had just returned home from work and were resting in the back room. They heard the chickens outside the door crowing as if they were frightened. At the same time, there was a sound of dogs barking. The hostess hurriedly went out to check and saw a puddle on the ground.
There were blood stains, and a chicken not far away was still twitching. The hostess walked in search of the sound of a dog barking, and sure enough, she saw a weasel not far away. Its hind leg was bitten by the dog and there was blood.
The weasel looked at the hostess, as if there was a trace of pleading in his eyes. The owner couldn't bear it, and he had heard that weasels had spiritual energy and could not harm them, so he drove the dog away, and saw the weasel limping away.
Just as she was about to disappear before her eyes, the weasel bowed to her. The hostess was very surprised. Before she could react, the weasel had already disappeared.
Twenty years have passed.
The male owner has passed away and his son has grown up. The family is still impoverished. Fortunately, the female owner has gone through all kinds of hardships and found many matchmakers to find a daughter-in-law for her child. The other party's family is equally poor, and the woman is also poor.
It was because of their unique looks that they became a match.
I expected to enjoy happiness in the future, but I never imagined that the daughter-in-law would have a lot of troubles just a year after her marriage. First, she disliked the family for being poor, and then she disliked her mother-in-law for being old and useless. Every time the hostess thought about such an opportunity, she could only secretly shed tears.
, so as not to make it difficult for the son to be caught in the middle.
One day, the daughter-in-law there scolded her mother-in-law for no reason, saying that her mother-in-law was lazy. But the hostess had no choice but to go up to the mountain to work with farm tools. In the evening, the hostess was in the fields thinking of her husband who passed away and what she was going through now, and she couldn't help but cry and feel sad secretly.
old man's eyes
When I was weeping and confused, I saw a woman walking towards me.
The woman who came gracefully had a light smile on her red lips. She was as elegant and beautiful as the white moon and jade. She was dressed in yellow clothes, paired with a goose-yellow shirt, pine and blue silk, as soft as satin, and a crystal hairpin.
, lightly made up, soft and soothing, like a jade jewelery plate, the eyes suddenly appear, black and shiny, the bright red lips, like newborn cherries, ruddy and human. The slightly frowning brows, the tenderness and compassion are even more heartwarming to Xizi.
The woman asked very politely, "Old man, why are you sad and crying here alone?"
The hostess didn't want to tell what was going on at home, but she had an indescribable affection for this woman. She felt that she was very kind, so she told her story. After hearing this, the woman couldn't help but empathize with her, and said emotionally, "
That’s it, you should enjoy peace and happiness from now on.”
The hostess sighed, "How can I enjoy such happiness?"
The woman took two steps back and prostrated herself on the ground and said, "My benefactor, do you remember the weasel who stole your chicken ten years ago and almost died after being taken away by a dog?"
The hostess stood suddenly and looked at the woman in yellow clothes in front of her in surprise, "Is it possible?"
"Yes, I am that weasel back then. You saved my life out of kindness and that's why I am where I am today."
After hearing this, the hostess took two steps back, feeling inexplicably scared. The woman said, "Don't be afraid, my benefactor. You can go home and I will find a way to help you." After that, she walked away.
After the hostess came home, she suddenly went crazy and said, "I am a god who has descended to earth." She also loudly asked her daughter-in-law why she was rude to her mother-in-law. If she did so again, she would be killed. The daughter-in-law thought that her mother-in-law was possessed by a ghost, and she was so frightened that she shivered for three days in a row.
All the doctors he invited were scolded and sent away, and the villagers all came to see it, saying that it was a ghost. They asked the owner's son to invite a Taoist priest to come and have a look tomorrow.
The next day, the hostess did not cry or make trouble, and acted like a normal person. She spoke little and looked stern. Her daughter-in-law was even more frightened. There were many villagers watching outside the door. The hostess shouted in the house,
So-and-so, so-and-so, met each other inside. Everyone found it strange that the hostess knew the name of the person outside the door. Everyone then mentioned some lost items and asked where they were. The answer was accurate. Everyone was surprised.
, countless people came to the door at one time to ask for fortune telling, wealth, and luck in marriage.
The deeds spread more and more, and the hostess became more and more famous. Many people from out of town came all the way to ask him to tell their fortunes. In just one year, they had enough money to build a house on the same site, buy countless fields, and rent them.
While others were farming, her daughter-in-law was even more considerate to her. She was both loved and feared, and her life became more and more prosperous.
One night, as soon as the hostess lay down in bed, the woman who had transformed into a weasel came to her again and said, "Now that my benefactor's family is harmonious and life is worry-free, it's time for me to leave. I don't know if we can see each other again in the future. Please take care of yourself."
"
The hostess couldn't help crying, and the woman turned around and left with tears in her eyes. The next day, the hostess put up a notice that she would no longer watch the fate of others.
Weasels know how to repay kindness, which is really admirable and also shows that good people believe that they will be rewarded.
The origin of the Five Immortals in the folk has a long history. Most of them are reasonable and keep a certain distance from others. It is rare to take the initiative to provoke people here today. But after Li Gengfa knew the ins and outs of this matter, he could no longer be angry.
.
"In the spring of that year, the cold weather was not over yet. Even if spring came, the cold wind outside was still blowing into my intestines, making my ankles tremble with cold. I originally wanted to boil some bath water for my husband and stir it up.
When I turned on the firewood, I saw a nest of little weasels sleeping in the pile of firewood, crying for food, but there was no big one. I was very frightened at the time, so I beat them all to death with firewood and sticks, and threw away all the bodies with them.
When I thought about it, something like this happened later. Hey——"
