Chapter 33: The Disciple of the Horse
Brother Peng poured a full glass of liquor for each of us, and then filled his own wine glass, and said, "We just need to drink, this wine is my home-brewed vegetarian wine, and it doesn't hurt to drink two glasses." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Later, I learned that the vegetarian wine mentioned is the low-alcohol wine that has not been distilled, and the word "vegetarian wine" is mentioned many times in "Journey to the West", which is a wine that monks and nuns can drink. Wine and rice wine are all vegetarian wines. Tang Seng in "Journey to the West" has also drunk vegetarian wine many times.
The two times that I remember the most are the first time when Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, brought a glass of wine to the Tang monk who embarked on the road of learning scriptures. Tang Seng had no choice but to take it, but he still struggled: "Your Majesty, wine is the first precept of the monk's family, and the poor monk is self-contained and can't drink." Li Shimin insisted that he drink, saying: "Today's trip is different from others." This is a vegetarian wine, only drink this glass, in order to fulfill the meaning of the cannibal. Moreover, he also picked up a pinch of dust from the ground and bounced it into the wine very unhygienically, and warned Tang Seng to "rather miss a twist of soil in his hometown than love ten thousand taels of gold in other countries." Under such heavy emotional pressure, Tang Seng had no choice but to drink this cup.
This second time, it was Tang Seng who was drinking with the rat spirit in the bottomless pit of Trap Mountain, and Sun Wukong watched from the side of the wine handed over by the goblin: "He knows that the master usually eats vegetarian wine made of grapes, and teaches him to eat it." The master had no choice but to eat it. At this time, Tang Seng and Sun Wukong have been masters and apprentices for a long time, and they have known each other day and night. Since Sun Wukong knows that Tang Seng "usually eats vegetarian wine made of grapes", it can be seen that on weekdays on the way to learn scriptures, under the company and witness of Sun Wukong, Tang Seng does not always eat white rice hungry and full, I am afraid, and he does not drink less wine.
Brother Peng raised his glass and continued: "Brother He worships the master as an apprentice!" After speaking, he raised his neck, and a glass of wine was gone.
At that time, I was at the age when the newborn calf was not afraid of tigers, how could I bow to the wind? I also said "Thank you, Brother Peng", and then raised my glass and left.
I looked at Liu Yu, although he hesitated, he was absolutely not ambiguous, and he just did it.
When we ate next, Brother Peng told us about an incident he encountered when he went back to his hometown to visit relatives.
Brother Peng's home is in a small county not far from Harbin, although the development is not as good as a provincial capital city like Harbin, but it is not as backward as my hometown, and it is also a relatively good small town, which is basically a high-rise building.
If you want to talk about Brother Peng, you must first talk about the identity of the disciple of the horse, and the horse is called moving the pole, putting incense on the head, and leading the troops in the north. In the south, it is called out of the shell, sitting, putting the table, etc. It refers to a human being who has an organic relationship with the immortal family.
At present, there must be tens of thousands of people in the country. In the original, most of the immortals were in the northeast, especially in Heilongjiang, Jilin, and Liaoning provinces. This Ma Xian and Bao Jia Xian are not the same, Bao Jia Xian according to the name, is to protect the family, and most of the Ma Xian will be enlightened, and the contact of the immortal family to practice together, sometimes do the "mouth" of the fairy family to say something, but in the end it is all a purpose, there is a disciple, also called the younger brother, to lead a fairy family's hall, for people to see things and check the disease.
In ancient times, people believed in gods and ghosts, so there was a wizard industry, which continues to this day.
According to legend, a sorcerer is a person who can communicate and convey information with ghosts and gods, and is a profession based on the exchange of information between mortals and gods, and its responsibility is to upload and distribute, bring the will of the gods to mortals, and then convey the requirements of mortals to the gods. This culture has been passed down to this day and has evolved into a form of horseback.
"Out of the horse" refers to some animal immortals, who have cultivated for hundreds of years, and then come to the mortal world to accumulate merit for their own cultivation or accept the task of the heavenly gods, so as to achieve the goal of ranking in the immortal class and becoming immortal gods. Among the animal immortals, Hu Huang Chang python is the most common, the highest Tao, so it is called the four major families by the world, according to legend, the family is also Hu Santaiye, Hu Santai is the most famous, responsible for leading and supervising the world's immortal family.
In order to practice, or because they have accepted the task, the immortals who want to open a hall want to accumulate merits, cultivate positive results, and purify the world, but it is not convenient to directly transform into a human, or to cure people in a direct form, so they choose human beings with immortal fate and understanding as Xiangtong, and people are also called disciples of the horse, to cooperate with each other to transform the world in the form of possession.
The fate of the disciple and the immortal family is generally divided into two kinds, one is the fate of the previous life, the disciple was a child of the righteous god or a bodhisattva in his previous life, or a member of the elf family, and the immortal family and his previous life were father and son, brother, or master and apprentice, the relationship of the same door. The disciples themselves have a certain amount of mana, but they can't use it after experiencing reincarnation, and some of these disciples have passed through the lower realm, and some of them have taken over the task of saving people in the next life, so since they were born, they have been tied together with the immortals, saving people together, accumulating merits, and achieving positive results together.
There is also a type of disciple who is the fate of the continuation of the family, that is, the ancestors of the family once worshiped the immortal family, and later the ancestors passed away, and the merits of the immortal family have not yet been accumulated, and they still stay in the world, so they must continue to find disciples to help continue the incense and help people. In this way, they chose a descendant with more wisdom from among the descendants of the original disciples to inherit the great responsibility of the church.
Those disciples, because of reincarnation, have forgotten who they are, their responsibilities and their powers. In addition, I was born in this era of reality and science, and I can only be skeptical of these things. Therefore, the immortal family uses some means, such as the inability to find out the uncaused illness and various sufferings in life, to tell the disciples to enlighten the disciples, so that the disciples can believe in the things of the immortal path and understand their tasks and responsibilities. At the same time, the relevant knots of the disciples are opened, so as to facilitate the transmission of information between the immortal family and the disciples in the future and the use of the disciples' bodies more conveniently.
This is also called the tribulation of things and sickness, and through these tribulations, the disciples are also made aware of the sufferings and hardships of life, and they express their willingness to help sentient beings. When the disciples have completed their understanding, and have known their tasks and responsibilities, understood the purpose of their coming to the world in this life, and understood that they should take over the hall and sincerely go to the world, these tribulations will end one after another, and the immortal masters will become one with them, and they will cultivate and accept the test together. When everything is ready, you will stand up and get married.
Brother Peng told us that the entrance of his house, that is, the python fairy is the leader of the palm hall, this big python, called the python Tianba, has three magic weapons around it, it holds the Fang Tian painting halberd in its left hand, and fights the gods and spirits on the top, and the ghosts and gods on the bottom. In his right hand, he holds the Yin and Yang Bagua Qiankun Circle. Carrying a Soul Gathering Bottle on his back. When the chaos first opened, he lived in Pansnake Mountain in Hezhou, and then lived in Nantianmen of Tiesha Mountain, and was the master of the python family. The god above the throne was enthroned by Mrs. Jiang. Wearing golden helmets and golden armor, the gods are famous. It was named one of the 74 stars. He has protected many dynasties, and saved King Wen of Zhou and King Wu of Zhou before becoming a god. Follow Mrs. Jiang to crusade against the Northern Expedition. saved Genghis Khan of the Great Yuan Dynasty and died out of the customs. Brother Peng's family has worshipped this python for generations, and he is the seventeenth generation of his younger brothers and horses who follow him.
