At the same time that Jiang Bing was driving towards the Chengnan District, the happy community, Lin Mu was also telling the story.

"Shiying, do you know what the old saying goes: Hu Liu, white, gray and yellow?"

Mother Lin didn't talk directly, but asked Lin Shiying a question first.

"I know that Hu is a fox, Liu is a snake, White is a hedgehog, Ash is a mouse, and Huang is a yellow skin, which is commonly known as a weasel."

Lin Shiying saw Lin's mother ask him, although he didn't know what to do, he still honestly said what he knew.

"Yes, do you know anything about this?"

"I don't know, Uncle Ying didn't tell me this at the beginning. I know this from the old people in our community. ”

Lin Shiying didn't know why, Uncle Ying didn't tell him anything about this, nor did he tell him some things about Hu Liu's gray and yellow. Therefore, when Mother Lin asked, Lin Shiying could only shake her head helplessly and said that she didn't know.

"Actually, Hu Liu is gray and yellow, and there is also a general name. That is the Five Great Immortals of the Northeast. ”

Seeing that Lin Shiying didn't know, Lin Mu explained.

"The Five Great Immortals of the Northeast?"

Hearing Mother Lin's words, Lin Shiying and Xuanyuan asked in unison.

"That's right, the Five Great Immortals of the Northeast."

"What's that? Auntie, tell us about it."

Before Lin Shiying could speak this time, Xuanyuan Qi hurriedly asked Mother Lin and asked Mother Lin to continue.

"Don't worry, I'll tell you what's going on with these five immortals, so that you won't know it in the future and cause trouble for yourself."

"Just now Shiying also said that the gray and white yellow of Hu Liu corresponds to foxes, snakes, hedgehogs, mice, and yellow skins, and Hu Liu Bai and Huang are just a general term for these wild things, they are also known as the Five Great Immortals of the Northeast, so the white and gray yellow of Hu Liu refers to the Five Great Immortals of the Northeast."

"The folk generally believe that the five immortals are long-term companions with human beings, belonging to the supernatural spirit of both demons and immortals, if they offend them and make them hurt, they can retaliate against human beings with witchcraft, so that human beings are punished to varying degrees; If people fear them, they will be blessed as gods. This is also the reason why the older generation said, 'Hu Liu is gray and yellow, and whoever provokes it suffers'. ”

"It's all a legend from the past, shouldn't it be true?"

Hearing Mother Lin say this, Xuanyuan Qi said uncertainly.

"You think it's a legend? How does that little sister Huang upstairs explain? Also, as the young master of the Xuanyuan family, you should know some things more clearly, right? ”

As soon as Xuanyuan Qi's words fell, he was reprimanded by Lin Mu with a blank look.

"In that case, then they should all have their own gods and sayings, right?"

Lin Shiying ignored Xuanyuan Qi, but continued to ask Lin Mu, because for him, these things belonged to Uncle Ying that he did not leave him, and he had to master as many things as possible. Maybe you'll be able to use it in the future.

"Of course."

"Hu: To put it bluntly, it's a vixen. Since the Xia Dynasty, there has been a legend that Dayu married a nine-tailed white fox - the daughter of the Tushan clan as his wife and gave birth to the first monarch of the Xia Dynasty, which shows that as early as 5,000 years ago, the Chinese had regarded the fox as an auspicious animal and worshipped it.

And now the folk generally believe that the fox has spirituality, can be a demon, and can also become an immortal. They are proficient in channel art, can repay virtue, can take revenge, fall in love with people, and can also play tricks on people. At the same time, it can also heal people's pain.

Many shamans often say that they are possessed by fox fairies when they perform witchcraft activities, and give orders to patients and answer questions in the name of fox fairies. ”

"Boss, isn't that one upstairs a vixen? If you bring her back, will she promise her? ”

As he spoke, Xuanyuan Qi began his cynical and foolish appearance again.

"If you don't speak, no one will sell you like a dumb person. You shut up. Mom, you go on. ”

Mother Lin smiled and watched Lin Shiying and Xuanyuan Qi fighting, and when she heard Lin Shiying ask her to continue, she adjusted her thoughts and continued.

"Liu: That is, the snake fairy. 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. The snake is often considered to be the embodiment of the dragon, so if the person who belongs to the snake in the zodiac is said to be a small dragon.

It is believed that the snake has aura, its shape is strange, it can lurk and mutt, and it is fast 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.

It is said that snakes are cold-blooded and ruthless, but snakes can also repay virtue and revenge, but the difference is that snakes cannot fall in love with people, and if they fall in love with people, people will have different bodies. ”

"That's not right, Auntie, didn't Bai Suzhen and Xu Xian fall in love and give birth to a son in the TV series?"

Lin Mu's voice fell, and Xuanyuan Qi's inopportune voice sounded again.

"That's just a mythical story in the TV series, but don't forget, Bai Suzhen played in the TV series can only fall in love with mortals after taking the antidote pill."

"yes, I forgot about that."

"I said Xuanyuan, I'm begging you, can you ask after listening to my mother?"

Lin Shiying was really laughing and crying by this living treasure.

"Hehe, listen to the boss, don't ask, Auntie, go on."

"You two, then I'll go on."

"Ash: It's our common rat. The worship of the rat is due to its nocturnal movement in the darkness and its unpredictable movements, so it is believed to have a high level of intelligence and is deified.

In other places, it is regarded as a warehouse god, and it is sacrificed during the folk warehouse filling festival to make a good harvest in the coming year. In addition, there are people who 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. This is also the origin of some folk stories about the fortune of rats.

WHITE: It's what we usually call a hedgehog. The worship of the white fairy, the folk saying is different, the vast majority of people regard it as a mascot for wealth and disease prevention, and the old lady of the white legend is a god evolved by a hedgehog, mainly for people to cure diseases, and is proficient in witchcraft.

Huang: That is, the weasel, called "Huang Er" by the people, there is a statue in the Tianhou Temple in the old days. It is 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 'collision family'. However, this symptom does not refer to this exactly, and the folk also call people who are possessed by ghosts 'collision family'. Once possessed by a weasel, hysteria can occur, and most of them are women or depressed.

However, the title of 'Second Uncle Huang' can only be regarded as a general term, in fact, Wong Tai Sin is respected by his mother. Therefore, there are also a lot of Huang Xiangu among the people, and as far as I know, the current head of the Huang family is the mother yellow skin called Huang Xiangu. ”

"I see."

After listening to Mother Lin's introduction, Lin Shiying and Xuanyuan Qi both felt that they had gained knowledge again, and at the same time, they also knew that it was better not to mess with these things. Thinking of this, Lin Shiying unconsciously looked upstairs.

"Boss, worried? Don't worry, she won't retaliate against you, I think, she will still make a promise. After all, you've seen other people's bodies, haven't you? ”

Seeing Lin Shiying looking upstairs, Xuanyuan Qi poked his head and said to Lin Shiying.

"Your uncle, Xuanyuan Qi, you wait."

As if he knew that Lin Shiying was going to beat him, when Lin Shiying just raised his hand, he slipped away with oil on the soles of his feet.

"Mom, according to what you say, it seems that there should be many people worshipping these five immortals in the Northeast?"

Seeing that Xuanyuan Qi ran away, Lin Shiying sat down again and asked, he wanted to ask everything about this, if he met in the future but didn't know, how embarrassing it would be.

However, in many folk families, the five immortals are worshipped. In general, there are two main ways to make offerings:

One is to worship the statues of all the gods next to the Buddha hall and the ancestral hall at home, including nine gods, namely the God of Wealth, Fu, Lu, Shou and the Five Great Immortals, arranged in three rows.

Another way to worship is to build a "fairy house" in the corner of the courtyard to enshrine the five immortal tablets. Xianjialou is a wooden model of a temple more than three feet wide and two feet high. The workmanship is similar to that of a real temple, with ridges, overflow corridors, etc., and four doors in front.

The tablets of the five immortals are enshrined in it, and the offerings are also placed in the immortal building. People make a wooden tray under the Xianjia Building, about half a foot high, dig a round hole at the junction of the upper part of the support and the Xianjia Building, and also dig a round hole on the side of the support, the purpose is to facilitate the five immortals to enjoy food offerings, easy to enter and exit.

Among them, they are especially in awe of fox fairies and yellow immortals, and there are many legends about them, and they are basically these two immortals on TV. However, under the movement of eliminating the four olds and defeating all cows, ghosts, snakes and gods at that time, many of the beliefs of the five immortals have dissipated, and there are not many places left so far. Mother Lin said with a sigh

"That's right, I remember, thank you, Mom, I feel like I've learned a lot again."

"You kid, why are you so polite with me?"

Mother Lin looked at Lin Shiying lovingly and said.

"Well, Mom, can you tell me the truth, are you like Uncle Ying can see those ghosts and stuff like that?"

Lin Shiying's question shocked Lin's mother, but she didn't show it.

"Why do you suddenly ask this?"

"Well, if you can, can you help me go upstairs to see Huang Xiaomei?"

After Lin Shiying said this, Lin's mother was relieved.

"That's it? Okay, call me your mother, I'll take a look. ”

With that, Mother Lin got up and walked upstairs.

"Thank you, Mom."

Lin Shiying happily picked up the fruit on the coffee table and ate it.

"Ding Dong"

"Ding Dong"

At that moment, the doorbell rang.
