27, ghost woman
Taiping Dao is one of the earliest folk religions in ancient China, Zhang Jiao, who is respected as a great sage and good teacher, takes the Yellow Sky as the supreme god, and believes that the Yellow God is the earliest god that appeared between heaven and earth. This is a bit like the ability of the Pangu god in later generations, but in the Eastern Han Dynasty, "Pangu" was still a god believed in by some ethnic minorities, and it was not popular among the Han people.
Charms, also known as talismans, are known as "Three Mountains Talismans" and are an important part of Taoist practice, and their mantras originated from the greetings of ancient shamans when they sacrificed to the gods. As the foundation of the five arts, mantras, such as mountain, medicine, divination, life, and physiognomy, are the medium and channel for the cultivator to communicate with the heavens.
In the Eastern Han Dynasty, he was full of respect for the gods, and the charms did not drive the gods, but borrowed the law from the gods he believed in, much like the divine skills of the priests in the Western Illusion, which were given by the true gods.
The Taiping Dao people believe in the Yellow Heavenly God, and the deity they ask for in their talisman is naturally the Yellow Heavenly God.
Bai Ziyun was very interested in the talismans of the Taiping Dao, but those talismans were very awe-struck by the spirit talismans, and he didn't show them lightly, and he didn't get a chance to get them.
At noon that day, he wandered around Julu City again, the weather was getting colder and colder, and the people on the street were wearing thick clothes, although the people of this era were more resistant to cold than later generations, but they did not wear only a thin robe like Bai Ziyun. Those who passed by looked at him with awe.
In ancient times, fools and fools had a very narrow vision, and when they saw things they could not understand, they often thought about the supernatural or the ghostly. Fortunately, Julu is a prosperous place in Taiping Road, and those fools and fools who want to come to the mountains and monsters do not dare to run to the city in broad daylight, and this aspect is ruled out, so Bai Ziyun is a stranger in their eyes.
This is the simple logic of the ancient fools and fools, either positive or negative, and many people summarize their thinking as simple. But simplicity is not kindness, if Bai Ziyun appears among the mountains and wilderness, these simple people have a great chance of treating him as a mountain spirit, and in order not to let it be a disaster, they will summon great courage to burn the "spirit".
Of course, this is just an example, and it is a little inappropriate to take Bai Ziyun as an example. Bai Ziyun's image is decent, like an immortal in the painting, even if he walks between the mountains and fields, it is estimated that most of the villagers will treat him as an immortal.
Burning people to death as "spirits", this kind of thing has happened in ancient and modern times, Bai Ziyun has been in this world for more than half a year, and he has heard many times, at the beginning, he was shocked, thinking that there was really such a thing as ghosts, but as he gradually gained a deeper understanding of the fairy way, he realized that there is no such thing as zĂ i in this world, and the so-called "spirits" who were burned to death were naturally people.
Bai Ziyun walked through the rich area and entered the slum, this is the place he likes to come to these days, with the medical skills he learned from the system to treat many people in the slum, the deeds have spread, and there are more people who know him, this will see him coming, and many people greet him.
"Doctor Bai!" "Hello, Doctor Bai!" "The kid has seen Doctor Bai!"
"Hmm." Bai Ziyun nodded in response, with a smile on his face, like a spring breeze.
"Ah, Sister Sanniang is here." "I want to eat, Sister Sanniang."
With a bang, a group of little children ran out and surrounded Sanniang again and again.
The children in the slums always like to stick to Sanniang, because every time they come here, Sanniang will bring some food.
When Bai Ziyun saw these children, he hurriedly avoided them, he didn't like these little children very much, because they were too dirty, smelly, full of snot, and their clothes were dirty as soon as they stuck to them.
Sanniang didn't care, with a bright smile on her face, she finished the food in the basket one by one, like a happy angel, if a few pigeons could fly by her side at this time, there was a great chance to seduce a few talents. (For details, see Tang Bohu's autumn fragrance)
"Help!" Suddenly, a terrible scream rang out.
Bai Ziyun was slightly surprised, and when he looked back and forth, several Taiping Daoists with a young woman walking towards him, and at the forefront was a middle-aged Taoist in his thirties, with a righteous face, followed by a group of people with panicked expressions.
"Ah, the ghost woman is here, run!"
When those little children saw the young woman shouting, they all fled in a panic, and they didn't even dare to ask for the food distributed by Sanniang.
Sanniang looked at the young woman curiously, and saw that the woman was about twenty years old, with a disheveled hair, but it was difficult to hide her gorgeous appearance. At this moment, the woman's face was pale, and her mouth kept crying for help, but no one responded to her.
"Ghost woman?"
Bai Ziyun frowned, he knew that the ghost woman was called a psychic medium in some places, and she had the ability to be psychic, that is, to have the ability to communicate with the soul.
"What are these Taiping Dao people doing with this ghost woman?" Thinking in his heart, the curious Bai Ziyun followed, and Yan Liang and Sanniang naturally guarded him.
"This old man, may I ask why the Taoist wants to arrest that woman?" Bai Ziyun said to an old man.
The old man knew Bai Ziyun, and hurriedly said: "Doctor Bai, that woman Yan is originally a concubine of the first family, she has a son, and her life is also satisfactory, I don't want to offend the housewife a few months ago, her son was killed alive, and she was also driven out." Since then, she has been crazy and has behaved strangely, often talking to herself, crying loudly, saying that her son's ghost often comes to meet her, sometimes bloody, sometimes laughing and laughing, at the beginning, the neighbors saw that she could be psychic, so they gave food and clothing in exchange for her fortune calculation, not wanting to recently, she often said that the neighbors wanted to kill her and hurt her, instigating the neighbors to beat each other, and hurt many people. The Taiping Taoist said that she rashly communicated with ghosts, did not know the method, and thought that she was blinded by evil spirits, but was driven by evil spirits, and she had fallen into demons and was hopeless. â
As he spoke, the old man sighed again and again, full of sympathy for the Yan clan.
"Huh?" Bai Ziyun's heart was shocked, and he hurriedly asked, "What will those Daoists do with the Yan clan?" â
"In the company of demons and evil spirits, the Taiping Dao people have always been to burn them at the intersection at three o'clock in the afternoon." The old man's face was gloomy and there was a sense of evil.
Although Sanniang and Yan Liang had unbearable looks on their faces, they didn't say anything, and they both felt that there was nothing wrong with the Taiping Dao people's approach.
Bai Ziyun had a strange face, listening to this old man's description just now, he could basically conclude that poor Yan should be suffering from schizophrenia. A typical symptom of schizophrenia is hallucinations and delusions. The most common hallucinations are auditory and visual hallucinations, in which people can hear voices talking even though no one is talking around them. No one can see certain people, including the dead. That Yan's heart aches when she loses her son, and it is normal to see and hear about her son.
The most common delusion is the delusion of victimization, in which patients often feel threatened and unfounded belief that someone is trying to frame, destroy, or murder them, and follow and monitor them. That Yan clan was like that.
