Chapter 4: Conquering Demons and Eliminating Demons (3)

"Okay, auntie, go see your mother-in-law, it should be fine."

At this time, the child on the kang was still blue, but now he is getting better, although there is still a trace of white misery, but his eyes are bright and bright, and he will laugh when he sees people, and he will be fine at a glance.

Li Gengai put the peachwood cane on the table, made a crisp "knock" sound, poured a glass of water, shook the blood stains on his middle finger, and stopped speaking, waiting for the daughter-in-law of the Li family to come back.

After a while, the daughter-in-law of the Li family really returned to the house with a happy face, "It's really a god, my mother-in-law was still out of breath, and now she can actually go to the ground to move, you are really a living immortal." ”

Li Gai shook his head, "Let me ask you, did you kill a litter of yellow immortals in the spring last year?" ”

Hearing this, the woman's face changed suddenly, and she suddenly showed a look of fear and regret, "Hey, this is all last year, and then I heard from the people in the village that Huang Xian couldn't fight when he encountered it, so I regretted it, but this year is good, nothing happened, I thought it was over." ”

There are five immortals in the folk since ancient times, called "fox yellow and white willow gray", in which the fox refers to the fox fairy (fox); Huang, which refers to the yellow fairy (weasel); white, referring to the white fairy (hedgehog); willow finger willow fairy (snake); Ash, refers to the gray fairy (mouse).

At the beginning of the Xia Dynasty in China, the folk had the legend that Dayu had married the nine-tailed white fox - the daughter of the Tu Shan clan as his wife and gave birth to the first generation of the Xia Dynasty, which has been passed down from generation to generation, so people believe that the fox has spirituality, can be a demon, can also become an immortal, and can also heal people.

In the old days, Tianjin built a temple of the three masters in Hebei, and there were also statues of the three masters of Hu in the Tianhou Palace, and believers often went to worship in the incense. Hu Xian is steady and solemn by nature, understands the ethics of the outline, and after being called a disciple of the fox fairy clan, the disciples will pay more attention to their own practice, whether it is wearing clothes and hats, or talking and behaving, they will be polite and beautiful. If you deceive your disciples, and if you don't have a good time finding the immortals and your disciples, then you don't want to be happy.

In the old days, I heard that the fox fairy transformed into a human form for the first time, and he had to worship the moon with a human head on his head, so that he could transform into a human being.

Huang Xian, that is, weasel, was called "Huang Ertaiye" by the people, and in the old days there was a statue of him in the Tianhou Temple. It is worshipped and worshipped for two reasons. One is that it is as beautiful as a fox and has a cunning temperament, which makes people feel mysterious; Another important reason is the belief that it can influence the spiritual world of people, and is related to a mental disorder. This kind of mental disorder is called "hysteria", and it is commonly known as "Zhuangke".

It is believed that hysteria occurs once a weasel is possessed, and most of them are women or depressed. At the onset of this disease, he cried and cried, even rapped, and told some mysterious things or injustices in his life. Some of them also sing some beautiful verses. People with hysteria do not know their family and relatives at the time of onset, and the tone of speech is different from that of Hershey. It is also said that there is a rolling ball under the skin of the patient, and that the possessed weasel can be killed by pricking it with a needle, and that it can be treated by pricking the patient with a needle.

This is because Huang Xian is charming for the first time, and he must eat up the internal organs of the dead and live in the belly of the corpse before he can control the fascination.

There is also a peculiar phenomenon, legend has it that as soon as a doctor, wizard or person who has beaten a weasel coughs outside the door, the seizure immediately stops, just like a normal person. Although this hysteria does not leave sequelae, it is difficult to completely cure and is prone to multiple episodes.

Huang Xian is agile by nature, knows how to adapt accidents, after topping Huang Xian, the disciples will be more neat and energetic, especially in the handling of interpersonal relationships, extremely appropriate.

White fairy, i.e. hedgehog. The worship of the white immortal, according to different folk accounts, is to heal people, and is proficient in witchcraft. In the old days, the statue of the old black lady was enshrined in the Tianhou Temple. It was destroyed during the Cultural Revolution in 1966. Remodeled in 1995 with donations from pilgrims, the legend is even more bizarre.

Liu Xian, that is, the snake. People's worship of snake fairies also comes from ancient times, and legend has it that Fuxi and Nuwa are both gods with human heads and snake bodies. Snakes are often considered to be the embodiment of dragons, so if a person is a snake in the zodiac, he is said to be a small dragon. It is believed that the snake has an aura, its shape is strange, it can lurk and mutt, and its actions are mysterious and sensitive, its mana is greater than that of a fox, it can also form a human form, and it has the spell of a thousand miles of objects.

Chang Python Immortal Family, brave and upright by nature, good at hoarding, after the top Python Immortal, the disciples are neither humble nor arrogant, they are generous, and their money and family are also rich. The ghosts and immortals all come from the human body, and after the ghosts and immortals, they naturally understand the true meaning of life.

And the first time the python ghost fairy family possesses the body, he must tightly bind the acupuncture points and pulses of all the tricks, so that the body is unstable, and there is no hind heel when he walks, so that he can come to the altar.

Gray fairy, i.e. rat. The worship of the rat is deified because it is known as a high level of intelligence because it is diurnal and moves in the darkness and is unpredictable. Others regard it as a warehouse god and worship it during the folk warehouse filling festival. Others believe that the rat can predict the future, can tell fortunes, and can also make people rich, so they regard it as the god of wealth, hoping that it will bring treasure to the master's house in the dark.

In the worship of the five major families, the people are more in awe of the fox fairy, the yellow fairy and the white fairy, and there are many legends about their miracles, and they are attached to the third master of Hu, the second master of Huang, and the old lady of the black. Among them, Hu Xian and Huang Xian like to offer wine, tobacco and poultry; Chang Xian and Python Immortal like to twist their bodies, walk upside down with their backs, drink raw eggs and other offerings; The ghosts and immortals like to make offerings such as large bowls of tea and bitter slices.

Most of the beliefs of the five major families died out after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the most important thing is that after the founding of the People's Republic of China, animals were not allowed to become sperm, and the feng shui in many places was pushed away by bulldozers and became skyscrapers rising from the ground, and urban civilization overshadowed rural civilization, and gradually, no one believed in these things.

In a certain place in Shanxi during the Song Dynasty, there was a family, for generations, not rich, life was miserable, there were three people in the family, two husbands and wives with a child to live, although it was poor, but it was still plain and happy with the world, ploughing a few acres of thin land, raising some livestock.

One evening, the husband and wife had just returned home from farming, resting in the back room, only to hear the chicken raised outside the door as if frightened, constantly crying, and at the same time there was a dog barking, the hostess hurriedly went out to check, only to see a pool of blood on the ground, not far away a chicken was still twitching, the hostess looked for the dog barking and walked, sure enough, not far away saw a weasel, the hind legs were bitten by the dog and oozing blood.

The weasel looked at the hostess, it seemed that there was a trace of pleading in his eyes, the owner could not bear it, and had heard that weasels have aura, can not do harm, so he drove away the dog, only to see the weasel limp away, about to disappear in front of him, the weasel actually bowed to her, the hostess was very surprised, before she could react, the weasel has disappeared.

Twenty years have passed.

The man has passed away, the son has grown up, and the family is still poor, but fortunately, the hostess has gone through a lot of hardships, found many matchmakers, and asked for a daughter-in-law for the child.

Expecting to enjoy happiness in the future, I never thought that the daughter-in-law had only been in the door for a year, and there were many incidents, first disgusted with the poor family, and then disgusted with the mother-in-law who was old and useless, and the hostess had to secretly cry when she thought of such an opportunity, so as not to make it difficult for her son to be caught in the middle.

One day, the daughter-in-law scolded for no reason, saying that her mother-in-law was lazy. In the evening, the hostess thought of her deceased husband and what had happened to her in the field, and she couldn't help but cry and secretly feel sad.

The old man's eyes were weeping, and when he was confused, he saw a woman coming.

There was a light smile between the red lips of the woman who came out, and she was elegant and beautiful in the light and elegant place, like a white moon and jade. Dressed in yellow, with goose yellow shirt, loose silk and green silk, as soft as satin, hairpin is tied with crystal hairpin, light makeup, soft and soothing, like a jade jewelry plate, eyes suddenly appeared, black and bright, bright red lips, like a new cherry, ruddy people. frowned slightly, and the delicate pity was even more pleasing than Xizi's heart.

The woman asked very politely, "Old man, why are you sad to cry here alone?" ”

The hostess didn't want to talk about the family, but she had an unspeakable affection for the woman. I just think she is very kind. So he told what had happened to him. After hearing this, the woman couldn't help but empathize, and said emotionally, "I see, from now on, you should also enjoy pure blessings." ”

The hostess sighed, "What kind of blessing can be enjoyed." ”

I saw the woman take two steps back and bow to the ground and say, "Benefactor remembers that the two of you stole your chicken ten years ago, and the dog took the weasel that almost died." ”

The hostess stood up suddenly, looking at the woman in yellow in front of her in disbelief, "Could it be?" ”

"Yes, I am the weasel back then, and you saved my life with kindness back then, so that I can be where I am today."

The hostess took two steps back after hearing this, inexplicably a little frightened, and the woman said, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, you go home, I have my own way to help you." With that, he walked away.

After the hostess went home, she suddenly went crazy, and said, "I am a fairy descending to earth," and asked her daughter-in-law loudly why she was rude to her mother-in-law, and then she should take her life, and the daughter-in-law thought that her mother-in-law was a ghost, and she was so frightened that her soul did not possess her body and trembled, and she did so for three days in a row, and the doctors who invited her were scolded away, and the villagers all came to see it, only that the ghost was on the body, and asked the master's son to invite the Taoist priest to come and see it tomorrow.

The next day, the hostess did not cry or make trouble, and like a normal person, few words and stern face, the daughter-in-law was more afraid, there were many onlookers outside the door, the hostess shouted in the house, so-and-so, so-and-so, enter to meet, everyone felt strange that the hostess knew the name of the person outside the door, everyone said some lost items, asked where it was, said it accurately, everyone was surprised, for a time countless people came to the door to tell fortunes, ask for money, look at marriage.

The deeds became more and more divine, the hostess became more and more famous, and even many outsiders came all the way to ask him for fortune telling, only one year, there was silver to build a house in the same place, and bought countless fields, rented to others to cultivate, the daughter-in-law was more intimate to her, really a love and fear, the days are getting more and more prosperous.

One night, as soon as the hostess was lying on the bed, she saw the weasel woman come to her again and said, "Now that the benefactor's family is living in harmony and worry-free, I should also go, I don't know if we can see each other in the future, please take care." ”

The hostess could not hold back tears, and the woman turned and left in tears. On the second day, the hostess put out a notice that she would no longer look after others.

Weasels know how to repay kindness, which is really admirable, and it also shows that good people think they have good rewards.

The five folk immortals have a long history, most of them are reasonable and keep a certain distance from people, and it is rare to take the initiative to provoke here today, but after Li Reform knew the ins and outs of this matter, he could no longer be angry.

"In the spring of that year, the cold and the freezing was not over, even if the spring came, the cold wind outside was also a fluttering filling of people's intestines, freezing people's feet and necks, I wanted to go to my husband to boil some bath water, open the firewood to see, but saw a litter of little weasels sleeping in the firewood, screaming to be fed, but not big, I was very scared, so I was killed with firewood sticks, and even the corpses were thrown away, but I didn't expect such a thing to happen later.
