Back in the hospital, it was getting dark, and Yue Long and Huanzi were giggling in the ward. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info When they saw me coming back, they asked unhurriedly, "How is it?" Got it? ”

I took out the statue full of charms from my pocket and put it on the table and said, "I've been looking for it for a long time, and I found it, this ghost thing looks so strange." ”

Yue Long looked at the statue that I wrapped into a zongzi with a charm and smiled: "Xiaotong, you... You're too careful, aren't you? Something like this can't hurt people at all, at most it will exude a little sinister aura. ”

As soon as I heard Yue Long say this, my face turned red, and then I hurriedly waved my hand and said, "It doesn't matter, it's better to be careful." But seriously, I've never seen this thing in my life..."

Yue Long picked up the statue, carefully removed the charm attached to it, and slowly the original appearance of the statue was displayed in front of his eyes, he looked at the statue and frowned: "Huan Gouzi, look at this kind of thing, I've never seen it before." Yue Long said as he handed the statue to Huanzi.

Huan Zi frowned as he took the statue while scolding Yue Long in his mouth, and then said slowly: "If my guess is correct, this thing should be the Five Rampant Gods!" ”

"Five Rampant Gods?!" Yue Long said in an incredible tone: "Is it the one that Lu Xun mentioned in the 'Five Rampant Meetings' in the morning flowers?" ”

Huan Zi nodded and said, "That's right, a long time ago, my master told me some stories about the Five Rampant Gods, and legend has it that there is a Five Manifestations Lingshun Temple on the mountain above the south of the Yangtze River. Legend has it that August 17 is the birthday of the five gods, that is, the five rampant gods. Every day around this day, there are many people from all over the country to borrow yin debts, it is said that as long as you borrow yin debts from the master of Wuxian, you can prosper financially and prosperously. The five Xian Lingshun temple enshrines the five Xian for Xian Cong, Xian Ming, Xian Zheng, Xian Zhi and Xian De, collectively called "Wu Xian", also called "Five Saints", "Five Tong God", "Five Road God", "Five Road God of Wealth". Legend has it that after Zhu Yuanzhang became the emperor, one day he suddenly dreamed that the fallen soldiers were covered in blood and came to beg for mercy. Suzhou people attached the "five manifests" to the "five gods", and equated the "five gods" with the god of wealth, so there was a custom of borrowing yin debts. ”

I frowned slightly and said, "No, then according to what you say, the five rampant gods should be the God of Wealth?" ”

Huan Zi smiled, looked at the statue in his hand and said, "Don't worry, listen to me." Didn't you just say that you borrowed yin debts? Do you know what it's like to borrow a debt? ”

I shook my head, and Yue Long muttered on the side: "I said can you stop doing this every time, halfway through the words, you know that it will hang people's appetites." ”

Huan Zi smiled, and then coughed lightly: "The ritual of borrowing yin debts is: at dusk, a witch burns incense and knocks on the gods, and is held hostage by two witches, galloping down the mountain, called "Running Horse". When she went to the place where the lamp and candle were lit at the bottom of the mountain, she yawned and stretched her waist, her eyelids rolled, and she pretended to be upset, and the old man Wutong went up. So he sprinkled insults, devoured blazing candles, showed his might, and solicited a wide audience. The borrower on the temple worships incense and candles "money and grain", "ingots", or offerings, and worships and prays silently at the top of the temple. If you find that the ingots have been deflated, it means that you have not borrowed them. Or use the method of asking for a lot, and those who get and win the lottery indicate that they have borrowed; Those who have been granted the visa will borrow but do not get it. After borrowing the yin debt, on the first day of the first month of each month, the first and a half months of the month, you have to burn incense and turn paper at home, and on August 17 every year, you must also go to the upper mountain to burn incense and relieve money and grain, so as to repay the principal and interest. If I die, my descendants must continue to "pay off", so there is a saying in Suzhou that 'the yin debts of the mountains above cannot be repaid'"

I was a little puzzled and asked, "Brother Huan, then according to what you say, the five rampant gods should not harm people, why is Zhang Bin still like that?" ”

Huan Zi took a sip of water from the cup, and then said: "The reason why you think so is that I guess you don't know the origin of these five gods, that is, the five rampant gods." ”

I nodded, motioned for Huan Zi to continue, he glanced at the statue of the five rampant gods in his hand again and said slowly: "What I said before is only the official record that has been beautified, but the wild history or legend of the five gods, also known as the five god of five thieves, is the demon and ghost who runs rampant in the countryside in the Han folklore and lewd wives and daughters. The origin is complicated, one refers to the ghost of Liuzhou in the Tang Dynasty; One said that Zhu Yuanzhang paid tribute to the war dead, with five people as a team; One is said to be the Yuan and Ming dynasties that harassed Jiangnan and burned and plundered the Japanese invaders. In short, the gods of the five links are a group of wild ghosts who do evil. People sacrificed to him to avoid troubles and to be blessed, and to be blessed and to make money. That's why he worships as the god of wealth. Wutong God is widely worshipped in the form of idols in the south of the Yangtze River. But I don't know if it can be blessed, but if it offends them, it is certain. If you make a good offering, you may also have some blessings, and it will come more quickly than the worship of regular gods and Buddhas - there is actually a truth in this, when the evil path can accumulate wealth faster than the right path, such as bribery and so on. ”

I nodded, thinking that this was indeed the case, but there were still a lot of questions in my heart, but Yue Long preemptively expressed the confusion in my stomach: "Huanzi, then why do you say that these five rampant gods did not bring good luck to Zhang Bin, but instead made him haunted by evil ghosts?" ”

Huan Zi smiled and said meaningfully: "Zhang Bin doesn't know what this thing is at all, let alone worship, thank God for not throwing it away and burning the fire." It's been a few years since I looked at this thing, and I have to say that this person who wanted to kill Zhang Bin was really smart, and he could actually think of such a shady trick. ”

Yue Long nodded and said, "Hey, it's true, only now do I understand the saying 'shopping malls are like battlefields'." It's better to be a market. ”

As soon as these words came out, I couldn't help laughing, Huanzi also smiled, and then handed me the statue of the five rampant gods and said, "This thing is also a treasure, you can take it." ”

I hurriedly waved my hand and said, "I don't want it, this ghost thing seeps into people when it looks at it, and it has a lot of yin energy." I don't want to be haunted by ghosts..."

Before I finished speaking, there was a scolding voice from the sachet on my waist: "Hey! What to say? Am I not a ghost? All right! So you don't want me anymore! I saved you last time, and I helped you just now! Hum! The surname Tong is ruthless! ”

I hurriedly shook my head and said helplessly: "Yang Ling, I didn't mean that, what I said meant was that I didn't want that statue..."

"Yo, how is the little girl?" Yue Long smiled lewdly at me.

"Well, you also saw it, this little temper is playing, if it's not good, can it be so lively?" I said helplessly.

At this time, Huanzi looked at me and smiled: "Look, even that little girl asked you to accept this treasure, you just keep it, you are saying, can you still harm you as a teacher?" The reason why the yin qi on this is heavier is because he has not been worshiped for too long, and Zhang Bin is haunted by ghosts is also this reason, although these five rampant gods are evil gods, but as long as they are worshiped every day, it is still good for themselves. ”

I was speechless in my heart, Huanzi's posture was to force this ghost thing into me, and then I said: "Brother Huan, since this thing is so good, how good it is for you to keep it..."

Huan Zi smiled, then glanced at Yue Long and said helplessly: "We are also masters anyway, and it is necessary to give the apprentice a greeting gift, but you have also seen that my ink bucket, his copper coin dagger capital is scrapped, there is nothing to get hold of, I told Yue Long about this just now..."

At this time, Yue Long also nodded, and said with a smile: "Yes, you can accept it, just when the two of us borrow flowers to offer Buddha, and besides, this thing was originally brought back by you, as the saying goes, isn't it good to say, 'It's easy to please God, it's hard to send God'." Just take it. ”

Although I was very resistant to this thing in my heart, but Yue Long and Huan Zi had said this, and I couldn't refuse anymore, so I had to nod and take the statue of the five rampant gods in Huan Zi's hand.
