Chapter 272: Yin Si Zhengshen
When we got closer, we realized that it was a man and a woman.
The man has a bearded face, wears a thief-sized crown hat, has five big limbs and three thick limbs, and has a face full of meat, which is not easy to mess with at first glance.
The fat man cautiously leaned over to me and whispered:
"Brother, is this big black man beating up the ghost eater-Zhong Kui?"
I was stunned for a moment, then narrowed my eyes and breathed a bad breath.
The evil anger passed through his eyes, and he saw that the black man was surrounded by ghosts, and the yin qi was all over the sky.
In addition, there was a black pillar of air like an antenna at the heavenly spirit above his head, pointing towards the sky!
It's strange, I wondered
Some of the officials in the underworld have more or less resentment on their bodies because of their perennial relationship with the dead souls, but the black air column rising above the black man's head is different from ordinary resentment, more like-
Suddenly, the little monk beside him praised:
"The young name is shocking, and the poems and books are useless and crazy. I want to borrow my sword, and the earth is dark and the sky is dark. It was an eye-opener to be lucky enough to meet the legendary Zhong Kui in this life!"
The fat man was overjoyed, he didn't even bother with my answer, he rushed forward a few steps, and saluted the big black man and said loudly:
"Taishan Shi dares to be a clansman - Shi Shuangquan has seen the 'ghost eating god'! Hehehehe, our Shi family's legacy, if you are lucky enough to see Zhong Kui, you must bow your head as a salute, please 'ghost eating god' to be worshiped by me!"
Saying that, the fat man actually knelt down on his knees, snapped and fell to the ground, kowtowing more than once!
The little monk and I were puzzled, and the heart said that this Shi family is really strange, and you have to kowtow after the salute, what kind of rule is this?
You must know that since ancient times, the Daomen has paid attention to the Tao of nature, and everything is based on the Heavenly Dao!
Except for Sanqing and some Daozun, the descendants of the Daomen basically make a Taoist salute when they meet anyone, and at most they bow down.
But this kid is good, and he kowtows to the post of the Wuzi Prefecture, is it-
Sure enough, when the big black man saw the fat man kowtowing to him, he immediately smiled heartily:
"Wha! Shi Dangdang is really a man! I think back then, he made a bet with me in the western suburbs of Chang'an, using exorcism as a technique to see which one drove away the ghosts faster and more! This gentleman is not talented, and he defeated him by overcharging two 'ghouls'! I didn't expect him to be true and have faith, thousands of years later, he still remembers this gambling game hahaha! Sure enough, the believer is also!"
The little monk and I looked at each other, and we both wanted to laugh.
Okay, if you lose a bet, you actually want to let the juniors kowtow when they see each other, this is too much, too idiotic!
But the fat man didn't think so, he still kowtowed and replied:
"The testament of the clan, the words of the 'ghost eater god' the will of heaven and the will of the ghost eater, since the Middle Ages, he has contributed a lot to the human world, and he is really a hero among the people and a model among the ghosts!
I listened in the back and grinned.
This fat man, there is definitely a conspiracy!
Even if he dared to have this kind of training, it would never be possible to kowtow nine heads, this is simply traceable!
But then, it dawned on me.
I saw that the big black man was patted by the fat man's sycophants as if he was extremely comfortable, he crossed his hands on his hips, and laughed:
"Hahaha, that's good, then I'll be ashamed! Taishan Shi dares to be a good man, and this gentleman will not accept you in vain——"
At this point, he suddenly flipped his hand, and a crystal clear stone appeared in his hand.
"This is a rare 'Heavenly Thunder Stone' in the Three Realms, which is quite useful for Taoist priests who practice the Five Thunder Righteous Method, this time I am happy to see you, come-take it!hahaha!"
The fat man almost jumped up with joy, and hurriedly raised his hands above his head to pull the "Heavenly Thunder Stone", and thanked him lovingly:
"Thank you Great God, thank you Great God! I will definitely cultivate hard and never let down the great god's love!"
Pat the horse, slip the whiskers, this dead fat man is really holding back!
I hate to say in my heart, I actually got a gift from him like this, it seems that this Zhong Kui has a particularly bold temperament!
And just as I was thinking about whether I should also kneel on the ground and howl, the woman standing next to the big black man suddenly spoke:
"Is the person who came really Chen Yida of the human world?"
This woman has a delicate face, a goose egg face and peach blossom eyes, fair skin and outstanding temperament, and a particularly crisp and beautiful voice, which is completely incompatible with the legendary Meng Po.
But everyone asked out loud, and if I didn't reply, I didn't agree with the courtesy, so I quickly bowed down and said:
"Yes, Xiaodao is Chen Yida in the human world! Dare to ask you, but you are the god of Meng Po - Yi Qi?"
The delicate woman bowed slightly, and replied:
"Exactly! I can't imagine that Chen Dada, who is famous and famous all over the world, is really a young man, and he has admired him for a long time!"
I was about to be proud, but I saw the little monk come forward and salute with his palms together:
"Amitabha, the little monk Tomohiro of the White Horse Temple, has seen the god of Yin Si!"
When Meng Po God heard the White Horse Temple, he was stunned, and then said:
"It's the old man, please—come into the inner room and talk!"
I was stunned again, what, even the little monk has an old man?!!
First the Heavenly Master Zhang, then the little monk and the fat man!
Dare to love me, I am the one who has the least sense of existence......
Heavenly Master Zhang walked up to me with a smile, pulled my arm and said, "Let's write and write."
"See you, this is the benefit of having a heritage and a background! There are also Shi Dangdang in the White Horse Temple, which one is more famous than yours, right? Hahaha!"
Seeing her laughing, the fire in my heart did not come to a place, and complained:
"Then it's no wonder that others! Didn't Venerable Xuanwu still have Duan Gong's case involving the predecessors of Xuanmen just now, why didn't these old guys choose some people with noble conduct to be the leaders! It hurt me to carry the black pot for them everywhere, you see, from what led the Qing army into Xinjiang from Miao Jiang to Venerable Xuanwu just now...... Phew!"
Seeing that I was really angry, Heavenly Master Zhang immediately persuaded:
"This is also human nature, after all, they are human beings, not gods. In the thousands of years of your Dao Sect inheritance, this Heavenly Master doesn't believe that there are not a few selfish villains! Forget it, don't be angry, you really can't wait to return to the human world in the future, and clean them up one by one!"
My eyes lit up, Heavenly Master Zhang's idea was brilliant.
The current Daomen is simply in name only, and the folk Taoist world is even more mixed.
What kind of association, that organization, as long as you have money to give, people will still issue you a Taoist license, and the name is "Taoist people", which is really laughing off!
They were swaggering and deceiving outside in bright clothes, and some dry old men in Dingmen stayed in the mountain gate and meditated lifelessly, without any money in the account, and they wanted Lao Tzu and me to work hard......
I don't feel comfortable thinking about it.
Wait, when Lao Tzu goes back to the human world, he must stir up the water of the Taoist world to see who has the hard platform behind him!
......
God Meng Po led us into the palace, until everyone sat on a circle of chairs, and then said to the little monk:
"Is the White Horse Temple in the human realm good?hey, I haven't been in the mortal world for a long time, especially after the new emperor succeeds to the throne, I can't leave the underworld an inch, and I really don't care about the inheritance of the old people!"
The little monk was quite polite, and when she mentioned the White Horse Temple, she bowed again and replied respectfully:
It's just that a few days ago, the little monk master, Master Zhicheng, passed away, and there is no need to worry about the rest of the things!"
Meng Po looked at him and sighed:
"I think back then, my mortal heart was blazing in the mortal world, and the 'Yuanwu' of the circle character generation of the White Horse Temple walked the rivers and lakes, driving away demons and catching monsters, subduing ghosts and eliminating demons, I was really the same age as you, and my heart was arrogant!"
I was slightly shocked when I heard this, good guy, it turns out that these gods of the underworld can still sneak into the human world to play?
Could it be that the Emperor of the Netherworld at that time didn't care about this?
Meng Po God suddenly turned his eyes to me, smiled and said:
"At that time, the emperor was easy-going by nature, uninhibited by the old rules, and even encouraged us to travel through the red dust and see the prosperity and customs of the world, so that we could truly understand the suffering of living beings and clear the source of the Three Realms and the Heavenly Dao!"
I listened with awe.
It turns out that this is the case, no wonder all the Yin Si Zhengshen in the underworld are dissatisfied with the current heavenly evil, and they are much more clever than him.
But—
I wondered:
"Can the gods also read minds? Xiao Dao has seen the Western Ghost Emperor Zhao Zhenjun, and he has guessed what Xiao Dao thinks in his heart!"
Meng Po smiled skillfully and replied:
"This god can indeed spy on the mind of the soul, but you used a secret method to cover the yang soul, but you can only glimpse a little!"
We looked at each other and were all amazed!
Unexpectedly, the "Yin Qing Dan", which even the ghost emperor couldn't see, was actually seen through by the Meng Po God in front of him.
But after thinking about it, I understand a little.
Meng Po, one of the gods of the Yin Division, the right-hand man of the legendary Son of the Yin and the Underworld.
Legend has it that Meng Po was originally the god of wind in the world, her original name was Nuying, her surname was Yiqi, and her family was the daughter of Emperor Yao and the wife of Emperor Shun.
"The Classic of Mountains and Seas" contains: the second daughter of Di Yao, swimming in the river, will follow the wind and rain in and out, so it is called Meng Po.
Moreover, in the "Shangshu Yaodian", it is also recorded that Emperor Shun's southern tour was unfortunately killed in Cangwu, and when he learned that Emperor Shun was dead, Emperor E and his sister Nuying went to Cangwu to claim the body.
When they walked to the bank of Xiangshui (one said that they were swept away by the flood in Xiaoxiang Tower), the grief-stricken Empress E and Nuying sisters jumped into Xiangshui in anger and disappeared from then on.
Later generations are grateful for the loyalty of the two women, worship them as the goddess of Xiangjiang, and enjoy the fireworks for eternity.
Later, legend has it that Nuying is not only one of the kind-hearted goddesses, but also has the responsibility of managing the wind and rain in the world.
In mythological stories, the gods of heaven and earth have to enter the red dust every 500 years or 1,000 years to experience or rotate, and Taoism calls this a tribulation.
Meng Po's previous life was Nuying, after Nuying escaped into Xiangshui, seeing that the world (the lonely soul and wild ghost in the Lechuan River) was obsessed with grievances and hatred, and she couldn't let go of the past and couldn't enter the reincarnation, she made a grand vow to ask heaven and earth to open a line to cross the reincarnation of the world.
As a price, Meng Po had to enter the Netherworld Ghost Mansion to be a bridge keeper, and each deceased person must take the Meng Po soup made by Meng Po herself before reincarnation.
The legend about Meng Po soup is even more amazing:
It is said that Meng Po Tang has eight tears as a guide:
One tear, two old tears, three bitter tears, four cups of regret tears, five inches of lovesick tears, six cups of sick tears, seven feet of parting tears.
And the eighth taste is a Meng Po's sad tears.
Meng Po soup eight tears as a guide, to remove its bitterness, to leave its sweetness, so tormented for a lifetime, boiled into a pot of good soup.
Therefore, in myths and legends, the god Meng Po not only has the magical ability of Yin Si Zhengshen, but even her own body is a rare divine object.
She has the ability to glimpse what people's hearts think, which is not so special compared to these magical powers.
You must know that there are so many souls who have crossed the Nai He Bridge, and in order not to make mistakes, Meng Po God uses mind reading to watch the minds of all souls, which is not against the way of heaven.
