"This thing can even get on the body of an earth immortal?" Duan Yufeng pulled me up in horror and ran, rushing directly to the big hole in the stone gate.

The priests called the immortals who lived in the world. Jin Gehong's "Hugging Puzi and Discussing Immortals": "According to the cloud of the "Book of Immortals": 'The sergeant lifts the form and ascends to the void, which is called the heavenly immortal; The sergeant swims in the famous mountain, which is called the land immortal; The corporal dies first and then sheds, which is called the autopsy immortal. "Yun Ji Seven Signatures" volume 114: "What this flying immortal serves, not what the earth immortal hears." Qing Xue Fucheng's "Yongxi Notes" volume 3: "There are zodiac people in Luofu Mountain, according to legend, during the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Ge Hong refined the Dan Immortal, and the Taoist fished out the Yu Dan in the Ding to swallow it, so he became the earth immortal. Always put on a coat and travel in the mountains. ”

The earth immortal is also known as the omniscient real person, both the yang god is, the three flowers gather at the top, the five qi are the yuan, a little true yang dots the yin of the whole body, but the iQue is under the sun, and the fugue is able to know, so it is known as the omniscient real person.

In the Taoist "Zhonglu Preaching Collection".

Lu said: "The so-called earth immortals, what is it? ”

Zhong said: "The immortals of the earth, half of the heaven and the earth, the talents of the immortals." If you don't understand the avenue, you will stop at the law of small success. There is no visible work, only those who live in the world with eternal life, and do not die in the world. ”

Lu said: "How do the earth immortals start? ”

Zhong said: "The beginning is also the principle of the rise and fall of heaven and earth, and the number of the sun and moon is taken. The body uses the years and months, and the day uses the time. First of all, we must know the dragon and tiger, and secondly, we must be separated from the difficulties. The water source is turbid, and the climate is divided into morning and evening. Collect the true one, check the two instruments, list the three talents, divide the four elephants, don't have five luck, set six qi, gather seven treasures, preface gossip, and line nine continents. The five elements are reversed, and the qi is transmitted to the mother and the liquid couple. Santian repeatedly, burned into an elixir, forever suppressed the lower field, refining the form and living in the world and immortal, in order to be a land immortal, so it is called an earth immortal. ”

Introduced in The Secret of Immortals

The earth immortals, for the immortals in the middle of the vehicle, have the talent of the immortals, there is no distinction between the immortals, do not understand the avenue, stop at the Hinayana or the method of the middle vehicle, do not restrain the right, do not see the work, but live forever and do not die in the world, the so-called people who do not leave the earth, this also.

In ancient and modern times, those who have cultivated immortals and attained the Tao have taken this kind as the most number, and the beginning of their cultivation is also, the principle of the rise and fall of the law and the earth, the number of the sun and the moon, the years and months in the body, and the time in the day.

So the true one, the two instruments, the three talents, the four elephants, the five fortunes, the six seven, the seven treasures, the eight trigrams, the nine continents, the five elements upside down, the air to the son and the mother and the liquid line couple.

Santian repeatedly, burned into pills, Yongzhen Xiatian, refining the form to live in the world, and get immortality, in order to be the land of the idle immortals, so called the earth immortals.

The earth immortal is very powerful, the ancestor of the earth immortal in Journey to the West, mixed Yuanzi, is the ancestor of the earth immortal, and even Sun Wukong is obediently tied up, you can imagine how terrifying the power of the earth immortal is.

Culturally speaking, in ancient Chinese legends, the snake was often a symbol of supernatural magic. In ancient Chinese mythology, the arms, ears or some other parts of the gods were often coiled in some kind of serpentine shape, which is probably also a common feature of Eastern cultures. For example, the mount of Brahma, the highest creator god in India, is a giant python; In addition, some other Hindu gods are also associated with snakes.

The Book of Changes says: "The bend of the inchworm is to seek faith (God), and the sting of the dragon and snake is to survive." "For our ancestors, the snake was an awe-inspiring and mystical charm. Ancient documents such as "Classic of Mountains and Seas", "Book of Songs", "Bamboo Book Chronicle", "Zhou Yi", "Shangshu", "Zuo Chuan", "Chu Ci", "Historical Records", etc., all have descriptions of snakes. According to the description of "The Classic of Mountains and Seas": Jiang Liang holds a snake in his mouth, retracts the snake in his left ear, plays with a snake in the hands of Master Yu'er, wraps two snakes around his body, and puts a snake on the head of the Dongting monster god, etc. Many of the famous gods in ancient legends were a mixture of man and snake. In the Han Dynasty artworks, Fu Xi and Nuwa are human-headed snake bodies, Gonggong is a red-haired human-faced snake body, and his subordinate Xiang Liu is also a nine-headed human-faced snake body. In addition, there are many gods who also have human heads and snake bodies. "Overseas Western Longitude" says: "The country of Xuanyuan has a human face and a snake body." "The Yellow Emperor, who educated all the people to unify China, came from the country of Xuanyuan, which has a human face and a snake body. Shennong Fuxi and Nuwa, who smelted stones to mend the sky and fight for soil, are both human-faced snake bodies; "Pseudo-Liezi Yellow Emperor Chapter" said: "Ku Kang's family, Nu Yan's family, Shennong's family, Xia Hou's family, snake body and human face, bull head and tiger nose. Later, people also said that Fuxi and Nuwa were the ancestors of mankind. "The Classic of Mountains and Seas: The Great Wilderness North Classic" mentions: "In the north of Chishui, there is a tail mountain, and there is a god with a snake face and a red body, which is called a candle dragon." "It shows that the totem of the Candle Dragon Clan is a red human-faced snake body.

The snake usually gives people a cold and ruthless feeling, strange eyes and a tongue that frequently spits letters, most people think that it is only ugly and terrible, but there is no cute and beautiful place, but once the snake becomes a spirit, it becomes a beauty like a fairy descending from the earth, so that all mortal men worship it, which is a great irony to reflect the inconsistency of the world. A common saying expresses this great irony, and there is a so-called "femme fatale".

Snake spirit is interpreted in Chinese words as a goblin transformed from a snake. In addition, the quality of goblins depends on their behavior. The Snake Essence is a popular Chinese folklore story. Some snake spirits, like many goblins that can incarnate, also like to confuse men with their beauty, in order to absorb their yang essence to strengthen their mana and increase their Taoism. Ancient Chinese literature involving snake spirits includes "Liezi", "Classic of Mountains and Seas", "The Legend of the White Snake", and "Journey to the West";
