Chapter 127: Long Po

They don't have particularly far-reaching considerations, and they don't have particularly mature thinking logic, if you are good to it, it will be good to you, therefore, there are a lot of people who support this kind of thing in Southeast Asia, which is the same as the doll in the Niangniang Temple, which has a great connection with the regional culture.

But I always feel that no matter how kind Kuman Tong is, he is also a ghost, and it is inevitable to keep a little ghost at home and keep it all kinds of awkward

Of course, it must also be admitted that these little things do help their masters in some things, and from the perspective of heavenly reincarnation, adopting these homeless children is a merit in itself.

Thinking of this, I looked at the statue of Kuman Thong, and when I saw that the little doll had a charitable face, I told Xin'er some basic knowledge about Kuman Thong.

As far as I know, the founder of Kuman Thong was a man named "Kun Ping".

This person is a Thai general, very smart, it is said that he began to learn art from a very young monk, and when he became an adult, he was already very famous, according to legend, he was not only brave and good at fighting and quite powerful, and what is more rare is that this person is not only powerful but also a handsome and dashing girl killer, up to the princess down to the people, all of them made him fascinated by the magic stick upside down.

Because of this, until after his death, there were people who used his image to make Buddhist cards to bless themselves with a good woman. Those who have the conditions can pay attention to the fact that in Southeast Asia, General Kunping is often named "Kunping Buddha", which is similar to Guanyin Bodhisattva, and is very common in the circle of male classmates.

In fact, General Kunping's spells are far greater than his ability to fight with a girl, and because of this, this legendary general is also known as the "Magician General".

It is said that in a war, he occupied a city, and the leader of the city gave his daughter as a gift to Kun Ping in order to please him, and General Kun Ping saw that the woman was very beautiful, so he agreed, and in this way, the famous Kun Ping got married, and lived in this city until his wife was pregnant with Rokka.

However, as time passed, the relationship between General Kunping and the leader of the city deteriorated, and even gradually came to the brink of confrontation, and in the end, the leader asked his daughter to poison Kunping's food and put Kunping to death.

For some reason, the matter was exposed, and when Kun Ping learned of the plan, he stabbed his wife to death first as a sign of revenge. After his wife's death, Kun Ping cut open his wife's belly, cut open his clothes, took out his son, and took him with him to a very secret temple.

He closed the door and opened the barrier around him to make sure that no one could see what he was doing, and then he started the practice, which was mysterious and no one could tell, but, according to the current legend, the general process was to first raise a fire, then wrap the baby's upper body in a red cloth with scriptures written on it, and roast the baby's body on the fire like a roast duck, until the baby's body was getting smaller and smaller, and it was completely dry.

Throughout the process, Kun Ping had been chanting the scriptures, and by the time the ritual was over, the dried baby had become a living soul with whom he could talk.

Khun Ping loved it so much that he put its remains in a bottle and took it with him, and named his child, who died young, "Kuman Thong". There are also differences in Thailand about the production of Kuman Thong, some people believe that Kuman Thong was deliberately made by General Kun Binh, and some people say that the birth of Kuman Thong stems from General Kun Ping's unintentional act of missing his son, and even, there are differences in the tone of the prototype of Kuman Thong, some people believe that the earliest Kuman Thong is the dried corpse of the child, and some people believe that the first Kuman Thong is actually a bone in a bottle, of course, in addition to these two arguments, It is also said that Kuman Tong is a fetus soaked in Buddha oil and so on, no matter what, the result is the same, what people see is that in the war after this, every critical moment, "Kuman Tong" will come out to help Kun Ping, tell him how to resolve the danger, how to win, and even in the face of many natural disasters, this child can also show some incredible abilities, in that era when you can only use weapons to fight with your hands, Kun Ping, who can use soul spells to fight, is naturally victorious and invincible.

Because of this, he is revered as the "God of War" by the people, and his stories, his legends, and even some anecdotes made up out of thin air have spread with the rumors of this inseparable "Kuman Thong".

This little guy who can avoid evil makes everyone feel very envious, so many people follow his behavior to refine the little ghosts to support at home, and they are bent on letting these refined children bring peace and wealth to themselves, but on the issue of refining methods, different schools use different methods, and even the main body of Gu Man Tong's refining has quietly changed.

From the present point of view, according to the different refiners, Kuman Tong is roughly divided into two categories, one is refined by the monks in the temple, and this type of Kuman Tong is usually called "Luang Po Kuman Tong".

In fact, this view is wrong, in many countries in Southeast Asia, monks with cultivation will be called Long Po, which is an honorific title, and the title of master, mage, and Zen master in the mainland is the same.

And another kind of Guman Tong, called "Azan Guman Tong", this kind of Gu Man Tong is refined by some of the same miraculous Fang Shi tributaries, these people, may be mages, may also be head lowering masters, they lack constraints, and there are no guidelines, many times, they are typical, in order to achieve a certain goal, often all-encompassing sinister existence, ordinary people mention it, they have to be afraid of three points.

Because of the huge difference between the two, there is also a certain difference between the two kinds of Kuman Tong that they refined, generally speaking, the Kuman Tong refined in the temple are relatively mild, these children are willing to accept offerings, and have been persuaded by the Dharma, basically they all pursue the principle of being kind to others, even if they run out to be naughty, there is no malice.

As for those Azan Guman Tong, it is not necessarily, because of the restrictions of various conditions, not all the undead are willing to become Guman, the monks in the temple, the ones who choose are those who are willing to accept offerings, but some other people may not follow such guidelines, in the group of head descenders, there are many people who forcibly refine Guman Tong, in a certain sense, this is a kind of slavery, which is very close to the nature of refining ghosts in the mainland.
