The five people looked at the statue with a bull head and a horse face in front of them, and their hearts were terrified. The two statues of pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info are really scary. Who carved these two statues? It's hard to imagine.

"Shall we take a break here, or should we leave here and continue walking below!" Miao Weiqiang questioned.

"A few of us haven't rested since we entered Heizhugou, I think let's take a rest here first, and when we have enough spirits, let's go inside, how do you feel about my proposal!" Zhou Tianyi said.

"Well, okay, that's a good idea, I'm a little hungry now, and it would be better if I had some more to eat!" The little beggar said with a foodie look.

"Don't talk about eating, we haven't eaten since we came in, and we haven't brought anything on the way, we are committing suicide!" Dong Tinghua said with a dissatisfied face, since he practiced the occult arts, he likes to do nothing without food, this time he feels a little hanging, if he is trapped in the underworld, will he be starved to death.

"Brother God, I suddenly thought of a question, since we have come in, how should we get out if we are going out when the time comes? There doesn't seem to be a gate in here! The little beggar suddenly realized.

"Don't worry, since we can come in, we will definitely be able to get out, don't worry about this matter, I will definitely take you out when the time comes to go out, the main thing for us now is to find the soul of Zhantian, if we can't find the soul of Zhantian, we want to leave here, I think it should be a very difficult thing, because if you want to leave, I won't take you out!" Zhou Tianyi said with a smile on his face.

"Don't talk about those useless things, everyone take turns to sentry, hurry up and rest, keep up our spirits, let's continue to walk inside, see what else is in it, this is the underworld, everyone should be careful, don't talk so much!" The twin-tailed scorpion said with a dissatisfied face, when is it now, and I am in the mood to talk and laugh here.

Zhou Tianyi couldn't sleep a little, so he took the initiative to ask to be sentry first, and the others were lying on the cold ground and falling asleep.

Zhou Tianyi, who was on guard, turned his head to look at the two statues with bull heads and horses, and remembered the legend about these two Yin Masters.

The bull head and horse face are in the underworld, but there is quite a lot of weight.

The bull-headed horse noodles are based on the image of the soul messenger in the traditional Chinese Han culture.

According to the "Iron City Mud Plough Sutra", when Ah Pang was a man, because he was not filial to his parents, he became a bull-headed human body in the underworld after his death, serving as a patrol and a servant to search for escaped sinners. There is a source that Buddhism originally had only the head of a bull.

When it was introduced to China, because the Han people were most symmetrical and in pairs, they were equipped with horse noodles.

However, there is also information that the horse face is also called the horse face rakshasa and also comes from Buddhism.

However, in my research, I did not find that there is a horse face in Hindu mythology as a servant of the underworld. In Tantra, there is the image of a "horse-faced king".

But it was a great god in Tantric Buddhism, and according to legend, he was the incarnation of Guanyin Bodhisattva, and he was far from the underworld.

The theory of the ox head and horse face was spread among the Han people, and was later absorbed by Taoism, and served as a subordinate of the king of Yama and the judges.

It is rare to see bull heads and horse noodles in Buddhist temples, but it is common in the Chenghuang Temple, Dongyue Temple, and Yama Temple, which belong to Taoism.

Niu Tou Ma Mian was originally in charge of real power in the underworld, why did he later become a catcher under the king of Hades? Speaking of which, there is also an interesting story.

A long, long time ago, there was a member surnamed Ma in Fengdu City, who was a giant with both wealth and power in the city. Supposedly, he should be satisfied.

But there is one thing that is always lingering, because he is sixty years old, and he has married eleven "partial houses", and there is only one single ding.

No matter how much you ask God to make a wish, you can't get it.

Needless to say, Ma Yuanwai regarded his only son Ma Yichun as a pearl in his palm. But he was very worried that if something unfortunate happened, not only would the Ma family's incense be broken.

And there is no successor to the Wanguan family business. For this reason, he was sorrowful day and night, and he was at a loss for what to do.

Which material leaked the house and encountered overnight rain. One day, the horseman had breakfast outside, and was ready to go out to prepare wine and food, and to make a wedding wine for his son who will turn 18 tomorrow.

Coincidentally, at this moment, a Mr. Bazi passed by the door, and his mouth was full of words: "Fortune teller, fortune teller!" ”

When the horsemen heard the shouting, they were overjoyed, and they forgot all about going out.

So he took the long shirt in his hand, walked down the steps quickly, and respectfully invited Mr. Bazi to come into the house and sit, and after the tea, the horse clerk said sincerely: "Sir, please tell my child's fortune, okay?" ”

Mr. Bazi nodded and said, "Yes, yes." ”

Ma Yuanwai immediately reported the birth time to his son. Mr. Bazi counted on his fingers, couldn't help but be shocked, and blurted out: "Oops, it's not good! ”

The horseman became more and more flustered in his heart, but in order to find out in a hurry, he begged: "Please don't worry, sir, and say that you can't take precautions." ”

Mr. Bazi hesitated for a moment and said, "Your young master Yilu is good, but it's a pity that Yangshou is too short, only eighteen years!" ”

The horseman said "Mom", fainted to the ground, and woke up after a long time, his face was as pale as dirt.

He asked, "Sir, please think of all means to save my poor son." ”

Mr. Bazi thought for a while and said: "How can mortals have a way, there is only one, I don't know if the staff is reluctant to break the bank?" ”

Ma Yuanwai heard that there was still a way to think about it, so he hurriedly said: "As long as I can save my son, even if the family is bankrupt, I will not hesitate to do it!" ”

Only then did Mr. Bazi tell him: In the middle of the night tomorrow night, you will make a table of the most sumptuous wine and food, put it in a food box, bring it to the twelve steps in front of the "Ghost Gate Pass", and give the wine and food to the two people who play chess.

However, you have to ask them three times in a row, be patient, and don't be impatient. The horses and horses are remembered one by one.

The next day, when he arrived at the designated place, he saw two people concentrating on playing chess there.

。 These two are none other than Niu Tou and Ma Mian.

The horsemen did not dare to alarm them, so they had to kneel quietly to the side, put the food box on their heads and watch silently. When the two of them finished playing a game of chess, he cautiously asked, "Two gods, please eat and play again!" The two of them seemed to be listening, and they did not answer, as if they were three times.

The bull head and the horse couldn't help but salivate when they saw this person's sincerity, and saw that the delicacies in the box were so rich. Ma Mian whispered to Niu Tou: "Brother Niu, we haven't eaten yet, so let's have a full meal."

It's hard to have a heart for this person, what do you think? The bull head also had this intention for a long time, but it was inconvenient to say it, so he nodded and said, "It's not too late to eat and go down the mountain." ”

After that, like the wind sweeping the leaves, he ate the food and was about to leave, when he saw that the person who delivered the food was still kneeling on the ground, so he asked: "You must have something to ask for for me?" ”

The horseman hurriedly kowtowed and said, "The villain is in trouble, ask the two gods for help." As he spoke, he burned a string of money papers.

The bull head and the horse face couldn't help it, so he had to say, "What's the matter with you, tell me quickly!" I've got some important things to do. ”

"Two gods, I have only one life, Yang Shou is about to end, ask the two gods to raise their noble hands."

"What's your name?"

"Ma Yichun."

Niu Tou flipped through the "Soul Hooking Order" given to him by Judge Cui, and said in shock: "Brother Ma, the two of us are going to arrest no one else, it is his son, but the time has not yet come, I didn't expect it...... This ......"

The horse crew kowtowed repeatedly: "If the two gods can prolong his yang life, the villain will be grateful, and he will be grateful!" The bull head said: "The laws of Yin Cao are strict, and it is not easy to do!" ”

The horse member was secretly anxious, and with an idea, he turned to the horse and said, "I have a brother surnamed Ma who is also in charge of the Netherworld, and if you don't do it, I have to go to him." ”

Ma Mian listened to it and thought to himself, I know everything from the king to the ghost in this underworld, and there is no one else with the surname Ma except me. If this relative was me, but I had never seen him, I asked tentatively, "I also have the surname Ma, I don't know who your brother is?" ”

Ma Yuanwai said in surprise: "The villain has eyes and no beads, and it is difficult to write two 'horse' words in one stroke, and there is Brother Lao." ”

Ma Mian said: "You said you are my brother, why don't I remember?" ”

"You drank ecstasy tea after you arrived in the underworld, and you forgot everything about the underworld, where do you remember?" Ma Mian thought about it, what he said was true, and now that he has eaten his things, this thing is not good, so he exchanged a look.

The bull head will understand, since this is the case, just make a personal favor, and also want him to spend a few changes. So, while he was drunk, he went back to Cao.

This matter was known to the Son of Yama, and Bai Wuchang was sent to find out in person, and it was indeed true.

The Son of Heaven of Yama was immediately furious, and immediately ordered the head of the ox and the face of the horse to be brought to the temple.

In order to kill a hundred people, he in front of the ministers, he gave them forty boards each, and then blew two more yin winds, and suddenly, the cow's head and horse face were returned to their original shape. When the Emperor of Yama saw that they were really repentant, he reduced them to servitude and stayed in the underworld as a deserter.

Zhou Tianyi looked at the two statues and thought about the legends about the two Yin Differences, which are recorded in Taoist classics.

I don't know how long it took, the little beggar suddenly sat up, looked at Zhou Tianyi and said, "Brother God, are you sleepy, do you want to sleep for a while, I've almost slept already!" ”

"No, you've just been lying down for a short time, why aren't you sleepy!" Zhou Tianyi asked.

"I don't know, I always feel that I can't sleep, my heart is weird, it's so uncomfortable!" The little beggar said.

At this moment, the other three people also sat up, as if they could not sleep, but they looked very sleepy.

Zhou Tianyi looked at the other four people, and always felt that something was wrong here, but he couldn't see what was going on.

This is the legendary underworld, and when the living come here, they will inevitably be corroded by the yin energy!

Thinking of this, Zhou Tianyi suddenly understood that the reason why everyone looked very sleepy should be related to the erosion of yin qi.

"Are you all feeling very tired, but you can't sleep!" Zhou Tianyi said with a questioning face.

"That's right, I'm so sleepy but I can't sleep!" Dong Tinghua said.

"If I'm okay, we should be eroded by Yin Qi, let's try our best to protect our bodies with True Qi!" Zhou Tianyi said. (To be continued.) )
