Xuan Chu hurriedly said: "By the way, Master, I remember Xiao Tianshu, that guy, it seems that he is a disciple of Heming Mountain?" ”

Lu Dongbin smiled: "Yes, I seem to have heard of it, it is indeed a disciple of Heming Mountain, what's wrong?" ”

Xuan Chu said: "Speaking of Zhang Tianshi just now, I remembered that Xiao Tianshu told me that Zhang Tianshi seems to have also cultivated immortals in Heming Mountain? ”

Lu Dongbin said with a smile: "People call him the ancestor Zhang Daoling, Taoism is a traditional religion that originated in our country, the Yellow Emperor asked Guangchengzi to mark the formal formation of Taoist culture, which has a history of more than 4,000 years. In the middle of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhang Daoling Tianshi did cultivate Taoism in Heming Mountain and officially founded Taoism. Taoism was formed on the basis of the Taoist Huang Lao thought, combined with the primitive worship of ghosts and gods, and Taoism takes "Tao" as the highest belief. Belief in immortals is its core belief, Taoism is a polytheistic worship of religion, from the Taoist Jiao ceremony can be seen, Taoism held Luo Tian Jiao ceremony, will worship 1,200 gods. ”

Xuan Chu said: "Hehe, it seems that Xiao Tianshu's guy is still a little immortal!" It's actually run to the birthplace! Master continues to tell stories? How's it going with mana? ”

Zhong Liquan said with a smile: "The demon king and the ghost handsome begged in unison, and they were all convinced, saying that they would no longer dare to abuse the people. Zhang Daoling collected eight ghosts and gods, subdued the six heavenly demon kings, and the demons were extinct. In the first month of the first year of Yongshou, it is said that Taishang Laojun and Zhongzhen surrendered again, and said for Zhang Daoling: "Beidou Yansheng True Scripture" and "Thirty-eight Thanksgiving Law Confession". In the spring of the second year of Yongshou, the gods of the three realms will be under the altar of the Yellow Emperor in Qingcheng Mountain, and the alliance will be five mountains and four blasphemy, and twenty-four rules will be established, and the ghost prison of Futing will be frightened. ”

Chu Chu exclaimed: "Ah! So many demon kings, the Six Heavens Demon King ......"

Lu Dongbin said with a smile: "Dingthirty will be the real altar and sixty Tongzhen Jing, seventy-two blessed lands, and order people to deal with Mingyang, ghosts and ghosts, and each rule will set up sacrificial wine and male and female officials to praise Xuanhua." At that time, Taoism began to have a formal religious organization. Zhang Daoling led his disciples to travel back to various places, slashing demons and alleys, seizing salt ponds, making meritorious contributions, and benefiting the people of Shu. It is said that after the success, Meng Taishang Laojun was canonized as a master of the first day. In the seventh year of Xuanzong Tianbao of the Tang Dynasty (748 years), Zhang Daoling was given as "Taishi" because of Lao Tzu. In the fourth year of Xizong Zhonghe (884), he was awarded the title of "Three Days of Supporting the Great Master". In the second year of Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty (1108), he was given the title of "Zhengyi Jing Ying Zhenjun", and Li Zong was crowned with "Three Days of Supporting the Great Master of Fuyuan, and Zheng Yijing should show blessings to Zhenjun". Yuan Chengzong added the title of "Zhengyi Chong Xuan Shenhua Jing should show the blessing of the true monarch". Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty gave the "Liuhe Infinite Wisdom God". The Zhengyi faction is called the Ancestor Heavenly Master, the Taixuan Prime Minister, and the Great Sage Demon Protector Tianzun. ”

Xuan Chu said: "It's amazing, by the way, I once saw my grandfather when I was a child and said that he saw a few dwarfs, all of them were ancient people's robes, is this the land lord?" ”

Lu Dongbin said with a smile: "There is only one land lord in each place, it is impossible to gather several, it is estimated that your grandfather has fallen into the path of demons, and what he sees is really not a normal immortal......

Xuan Chu said: "Eh, what's so great about the land lord, and you still need a demon to play it?" ”

Zhong Liquan said with a smile: "Hahaha, don't underestimate the land lord, according to the "Seven Signatures of the Cloud Pipe" volume 13: "Under it, it is called the altar of praying for Gu Fushi, where the star position is 1,200, it is Luo Tiandajiao, the law and the etiquette, and the first class of the altar." "And Zhou Tian Da Jiao will worship 2,400 gods, and Putian Da Jiao should worship 3,600 gods, which shows that there are many Taoist gods. After the development of history, Taoism has gradually formed a system of immortals with the three Qing Tianzun, the Jade Emperor, and the four imperial gods as the main gods, and the internal is divided into multiple gods according to the different priesthoods, such as the star gods including the Ziwei Emperor and the Big Dipper; The thunder god system with the Nine Heavens of Lei Zu Ying Yuan Thunder Puhua Tianzun as the main god; The underworld god system with Emperor Xudu as the main god and so on. The "immortals" we usually talk about are actually divided into two different systems: "gods" and "immortals", and the simplest difference between them is that "gods" generally have a priesthood in the gods, each with a different position, while the "immortals" are not priesthoods and are at ease. ”

Xuan Chu said: "Well, there are so many gods, but I don't see the land lord......"

Zhong Liquan said with a smile: "In the Taoist immortal system, the status of Sanqing Tianzun is the highest, and the lowest status is the land god, there is a saying called "Don't take the land for the immortals", which means that although the official position of the land god is very small, he is also an immortal, and he cannot be underestimated. ”

Chu said: "Why can't you underestimate it? ”

Lu Dongbin said with a smile: "The land god is basically the lowest official among the many immortals, but he is also the one closest to the people, he protects the people, and almost every village has a small land temple. The land god originated from the ancient belief that the land can give birth to all things, and it is also the foundation of people's survival. When people describe a country, they often use "Jiangshan Sheji" to denote that "Sheji" originally refers to the land god and the grain god sacrificed by the ancient emperors and princes, where "Ji" refers to the god of the five grains, and "She" refers to the land god. "The Legend of the Ram" notes: "The social owner is also the lord of the land." It is also written in the "Deed of Filial Piety and Aid to God": "The society is the chief god of the five earths." The land is vast and cannot be respected, so the land is enshrined for the society to repay the merits. ”

Chu Chu said: "Why sacrifice the land? No other immortal has ever seen such a ......."

Lu Dongbin said with a smile: "In ancient times, sacrificing to the land god was a very grand ceremony, from the emperor to the people, they would sacrifice the land god. Although the official position of the land god was relatively small, the number of temples built for him was the largest of all the gods, and almost every village in ancient society had a land temple. The image of the land lord is generally a six-foot-tall man with a treasure belt tied around his waist, stepping on treasure shoes, holding a wooden staff in his hand, and an amiable old grandfather image. ”

Xuan Chu asked, "Who is qualified to be the lord of the land?" Are they all long and short, and have palaces underground? I've been curious about this since I was a child, hehe......"

Lu Dongbin said with a smile: "Regarding the origin of the land lord, there are many different versions of the folk, and with the development of history, the origin of the land lord is also changing. According to legend, the prototype of the land lord is a person named Zhang Fude, he was born on February 2 of the second year of King Wu of Zhou, he was gifted and intelligent since he was a child, when he was Chinese New Year's Eve six years old, he became the chief tax officer of the imperial court, and was fair and honest during the official period, Zhang Fu lived until the third year of King Mu of Zhou before he died. Zhang Fude's appearance remained unchanged for a few days after his death, which was very amazing, a poor family decided to use large stones to build a stone house to worship him, and after a while, the family became rich, and the surrounding people thought that Zhang Fude turned into a god to bless him, so they followed suit and shaped a golden body to worship. ”
