The five people looked at Wangxiangtai, missed their hometown for a while, and their relatives in their hometown, stayed next to Wangxiangtai for a while, and continued to walk inside. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

The further they went, the heavier the yin qi inside became, which made the five of them frightened.

When the five of them walked not far inside, a large hall suddenly appeared, this hall was very similar to the legendary Yama Palace, which made the five people look frightened, and there were many torture instruments inside.

At the entrance of the main hall there are three large characters Yama Hall.

Seeing this, the five people were shocked, could it be that they had entered the legendary Yama Palace?

The five of them couldn't imagine in their hearts that there was such a mysterious place hidden in this black bamboo ditch.

"Brother God, is this the legendary Yama Palace? It looks eerie and scary! The little beggar said in shock, he never thought that he would see the legendary Yama Hall in the world, and he was shocked in his heart.

"You just don't know the three big characters on it, you can guess just by looking at the furnishings and statues inside, this should be the legendary Yama Palace!" Dong Tinghua said with an unhappy face.

The cry of the monster that the five people had just come to the Yama Hall came again, and they wondered what kind of monster this was that they seemed to have been following him.

This should be the end of the Yama Temple, and the rest of the time should be spent looking for the legendary ghost city of the Hell Capital.

Although it is said that it is like walking into the underworld, there is no trace of the ghost city of Hell and Xudu, what is going on here? How can I find the legendary ghost town of Hell and Hell? Zhou Tianyi walked around in the Yama Palace, looking at the nearly 100 statues in the Yama Palace, frowning slightly.

"We seem to have reached the end, where should we go next to find the legendary ghost city of Hell and Hell, and where should we go to find the soul of Zhantian!" Dong Tinghua said with an unhappy face, he finally reached the end, but there was nothing valuable to find at the end.

Zhou Tianyi circled around in the Yama Palace, thinking about the things recorded in the Taoist classics about the Yama Palace, this Yama Hall could not be built here for no reason, what is its purpose!

"Brother God, hurry up and see who this statue is, why is it so terrifying!" The little beggar stood in front of a statue and said in horror.

The little beggar's words interrupted Zhou Tianyi's thoughts, and Zhou Tianyi turned his head to look in the direction of the little beggar and saw a vivid statue.

"This... This should be the legendary Zhong Kui! Zhou Tianyi said.

"This is the legendary Zhong Kui? Isn't he too ugly to look so scary! The little beggar said with a shocked face.

"Little Hua, I really doubt that you have ever gone to school, and you don't even know that Zhong Kui is a very ugly person in the first place!" Dong Tinghua said with a disdainful face.

"I really haven't been to school much, tell me what the hell is going on!" The little beggar said anxiously.

Dong Tinghua told the legend about Zhong Kui.

Zhong Kui, a god in Chinese mythology, is called Yisheng Thunder in Taoism to exorcise demons and ward off evil spirits, and the town house blesses the emperor, referred to as "the town house Zhenjun", "exorcism Zhenjun", "exorcism emperor".

He is a native of Happy Valley, Zhongnan Mountain, Chang'an. The other theory is that it comes from the ghost chasing magic weapon "Kui Suni". "The end of the sun" is a thing to chase away ghosts, and it is taken as a human name for the purpose of warding off evil spirits.

The Taoist belief in the south of the Yangtze River in our country, the Emperor Guan Sheng, the Emperor of the Demon Sect, the Emperor of the Demon Tianzun Zhenwu, and the Emperor Zhong Kui, the true monarch of the exorcism, are collectively known as the Three Demon Emperors, which are the three major gods of subduing demons and subduing demons.

According to legend, during the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Tang Xuanzong suddenly fell seriously ill after a cruise, and he was not cured by many methods, and the emperor was very anxious.

One night he dreamed that a little imp dressed in red had stolen his treasure, and the emperor angrily rebuked the imp.

At this time, a big ghost wearing a broken hat suddenly appeared, caught the little ghost and ate it in the stomach. The emperor asked him who he was.

The big ghost replied: "The minister was originally a Jinshi of Zhongnan Mountain, named Zhong Kui, because the emperor disliked my ugly appearance and decided not to admit me, and in a fit of anger I crashed to death on the steps of the palace, and after my death I engaged in ghost hunting." ”

After Tang Xuanzong woke up from his dream, he was cured. So he ordered Wu Daozi, the most famous painter at the time, to paint the image of Zhong Kui in his dream.

Since the emperor himself was a fanatical Taoist believer, with his strong support, Zhong Kui's status as a ghost-hunting god was gradually established after that.

In addition to ghost hunting, there are many stories about Zhong Kui, such as "Zhong Kui marries his sister" and so on.

Among the people, people use his image to make various works of art and place them in their homes or gates, hoping to drive away evil and gain peace.

It has been nearly 80 years since the abolition of Zhongnan County to the accession of Tang Xuanzong.

Imagine, when Zhong Kui treated Tang Xuanzong, he called him "Zhongnan Jinshi", and this "Zhongnan" can only refer to the old city of Zhongnan.

If he refers to other places in Qianzhongnan County outside the ancient city of Zhongnan, Zhong Kui can only call himself "Qianzhongnan Jinshi" or "Qianzhongnan Jinshi". For example, in the early Qing Dynasty, many Ming Dynasty officials called themselves "Former Ming Jinshi" or "Former Ming Officials".

However, since the Tang Dynasty, there is no such thing as "the former end of the Southern Jinshi". As for individual scholars, they have searched all the official materials of the Tang Dynasty, and there is no Zhong Kui or his own affairs.

In the so-called official histories they checked, only some so-called national events were published, and Zhong Kui Xiaomin was one.

There is also the so-called "ridicule for those in power", there is no foolish historian who risked his head for a little-known little Zhong Kui,

Only those enthusiastic people in the people came to complain for Zhong Kui.

Many historical truths have been preserved in the country history or in the notes of celebrities. As the old saying goes: there is no wind and no waves, everything has a certain cause.

Anything that can be passed down for thousands of years must have a reasonable factor in its circulation. If there is no evidence, then why have countless smart people in all dynasties been deceived for thousands of years?

The above expounds this ancient mystery from the aspect of literature, and now it explains this problem from the aspect of cultural relics research.

In 1958, due to the construction of Zhongnan Middle School and Da Lian Steel, the Jade Emperor Temple and Xueying Palace were demolished, which were the remnants of the "Shangqing Taiping Palace" in Zhongnan. According to the "Chang'an Taoism and Taoism" edited by Zha Fan Guangchun, the "Taiping Palace of the Shangqing Dynasty" in the south of the country was brilliant in the Song, Jin and Yuan dynasties.

Due to the destruction of a large number of cultural relics, this has caused certain difficulties in the study of Zhongnan, a special religious and cultural zone in Shaanxi's history.

"This emperor is really good, looking at the ugliness of others, he doesn't let people who are admitted to the Jinshi to be officials, this is really a bit unreasonable!" The little beggar said in shock.

"Alright, don't talk about those useless ones, let's quickly find the entrance to the underworld!" Zhou Tianyi said. (To be continued.) )
