Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Chinese Goddess
Habit is such a scary thing!
After a few days, I got used to the out-of-body phenomenon, and on some occasions I could turn around and see my body in bed, while in other cases I couldn't. Here's an example: when I'm asleep, I project to familiar people. There, you see them thinking about all sorts of different movements. When I looked at this more ethereal self, for a moment I became aware of a duality.
For example, in the first form of the body, I can look back and see the body. If I project from one form to the next in order to strengthen this experience, then from this second form I will not be able to see the body. I will be aware of it, and I may also experience some duality. In the third form, I will no longer be aware of the body and will not be able to see it.
I'm reminded of the SchrΓΆdinger wave equation, where the cat is in a dead/alive superposition? The point of not being able to accept this is that experience tells us that this bizarre duality seems unlikely to be felt by a macroscopic creature, such as a cat or ourselves. Again: If a cat could speak, would it describe this feeling of duality? If it survives, will it say, "Yes, I was a wave of probability, and I felt myself permeated in space, half of which was dead and the other half was still alive." It's a really eerie feeling, I'll try it too? "I'm afraid no one believes it.
So will there be a day when I communicate with this other self; On another day, my future self paid attention to what I said. Maybe now in the actual future, I am the one who hears the voice of a past self, whether in a dream or in a projection back to the past.
I told the Shiling people, who told me after much thought that they had heard of a similar phenomenon.
Do you know what a doppelganger is?
Doppelganger?

Once upon a time...... There was an ordinary couple, one morning, the wife got up and went out, and then the husband went out, and when the wife returned to the house, she thought that her husband was still sleeping, so she went into the dormitory, and saw that the husband was still in the bed. Then the boy servant of his house came in from outside and said, "The man asked me to get the key." When the wife saw that her husband was sleeping on the bed, she thought that the child servant was cheating, so she pointed to her husband on the bed and showed the child servant. The servant was astonished and said, "I have just come from my master!" Then he ran out to find the man. The husband was taken aback when he heard this, and hurried back to the house, and looked into the bed with his wife, only to see the person in the bed sleeping peacefully, exactly like the husband. The husband thought that the bed was probably his true soul, so he didn't dare to alarm, so he slowly stroked the person on the bed, and the man slowly entered the bed mat and disappeared. The couple was shocked and frightened when they saw this. Soon after, the husband suddenly fell ill, his temper became irritable and eccentric, and he was never cured for the rest of his life.
According to Western psychology, the so-called doppelganger is the other self that looks exactly like yourself?
This world is full of thoughts of wanting to die without a place for oneself, violating the law that everything in nature has life and death, and nature has created their doppelganger in order to find balance. In this way, before I knew it, "they" were born. β¦β¦ Shi Lingren sighed in frustration: "Sure enough, it still didn't scare you!" β
"Cut!"
Of course, Shi Lingren came to Yue's house again to scare me.
For safety reasons, Yu Zujia did not let him participate in the tracking, and only let him coordinate and command at home. Yu Zujia's reason is, "I can't afford to lose familiar people." β
Shi Lingren felt very depressed, "Even Yu Zujia's three-legged cat detective is out of the horse, and I feel like I'm doing nothing alone." β
I comforted him: "Actually, your work is also very important, not that you have to go out to track, sometimes it is also important to calm down and analyze from the perspective of Mr. Yin and Yang." I said.
"You seem to know a lot!" Shi Ling was happy: "But they now have a special analysis department. β
"Have you removed my surveillance?" I asked.
"Probably not, I guess the relevant departments haven't ordered it yet." Shi Lingren said with a smile.
"Why don't you quit yet? What a waste of manpower. β
"Safety first. It's not wasteful. "Shi Lingren seemed to want to hug me, but he didn't dare. Because he also knew that my surveillance had been changed from level one to level three. The personnel are no longer the colleagues we know Xiao Mo and Yu Zujia, but other departments. So you still have to pay attention to your behavior.
But you can talk more openly. "In fact, there are many strange things recorded in ancient books, some of which are very similar to doppelgangers, and there is a "Soul Leaving Story" in the opera that is very famous, which is about the third year of Tang Tianzhu, and Zhang Yi, a native of Qinghe, moved his family to Hengzhou because he was an official in Hengzhou. Zhang Yi has a quiet temperament, does not like to make friends, has no sons, and has two daughters. The eldest daughter has died a long time ago, and the second daughter is called Qianniang, who was born dignified and beautiful. Zhang Yi's nephew Wang Zhou has been very smart and handsome since he was a child, Zhang Yi also attaches great importance to this nephew, and often says, "When you grow up in the future, I will promise Qianniang to you as a daughter-in-law." "
My simple and clear assessment: "Arranged marriages are shameful!" β
Shi Lingren rolled his eyes: "Later, Qianniang and Wang Zhou grew up, and the two of them also had affection, often missed each other, and couldn't sleep at night, but none of these things were known to the family." Later, one of Zhang Yi's colleagues went to the official election to ask to marry Qianniang, and Zhang Yi agreed. After Qianniang heard about it, she was very painful, Wang Zhou was also very resentful after she knew it, and went to the capital on the grounds of transferring officials, Zhang Yi dissuaded her, Wang Zhou did not listen, Zhang Yi had to give Wang Zhou a very generous gift money and send him to Beijing.
Wang Zhou held back tears and got on the boat with hatred, at this time, it was getting late, the boat went to a place a few miles away from a mountain city, it was the middle of the night, Wang Zhou couldn't sleep, suddenly heard a person on the shore hurrying to come, a moment came to the boat, Wang Zhou asked, it was Qianniang, it turned out that she ran out of the house barefoot. Wang Zhou was pleasantly surprised, took Qiannu's hand and asked her how she ran out, Qianniang cried and said, "I am deeply moved by your deep affection for me. Now that I put aside all my worries, I know that Lang Jun's deep affection for me is unswerving, and I am determined to risk my life to repay Lang Jun, so I eloped from home. Wang Zhou was overjoyed, so he hid Qianniang in the boat and fled overnight. Wang Zhou took Qianniang day and night, and arrived in Sichuan a few months later. Five years later, they gave birth to two sons and cut off news from Zhang Yi. However, Qianniang missed her parents more and more, and once cried and said to Wang Zhou, "In order to live up to Lang Jun's true feelings, I left home and eloped with you, and now it has been five years. The upbringing of my parents is like the sky covering me and carrying me, how can I have the face to survive alone regardless of my parents? Wang Zhou also said sadly, "Don't be sad, let's go back together." "
After returning to his hometown of Hengzhou, Wang Zhou first came to Zhang Yi's house, and after seeing Zhang Yi, he first apologized and said that he should not lead Qianniang to escape to Sichuan. Zhang Yi was shocked and said, "Qianniang has been sick in the boudoir for several years, what are you talking nonsense?" Wang Zhou said, "Qianniang is on the boat now." Zhang Yi was even more surprised, so he sent a servant to the boat to see, and when he saw that Qianniang was really on the boat, he looked very surprised, and asked the servant, "Is my second elder in good health?" The servant was very surprised, and hurried home to report to Zhang Yi. When the sick daughter in the boudoir heard about it, she immediately got up happily, dressed and changed, and only smiled without speaking. After combing Ru, she went out to greet Qianniang who was coming home, and the two Qianniang suddenly merged into one, only the clothes were two sets overlapped together. The family thought it was too evil, and kept it a secret, and only relatives knew about it. Forty years later, Wang Zhou and his wife died, and their two sons were promoted to filial piety and official ranks. This incident has been circulated in the world, and there are many others, but there are many similarities and differences, and I used to think that this incident was false. But because the opera is very detailed, I wrote it down. Now it seems...... It's really nothing new in ancient and modern China and abroad! β
I agreed and said: "Yes, the marriage of a son is really nothing new in ancient and modern China and abroad!" β
We talked about strange things for a while, because of the big golden tooth, I was also very interested in these tomb robbers in Jielingmen during this time, I mentioned Yu Zujia's abnormal reaction before and asked Shi Ling if anyone knew?
"Yes!" Yu Zujia actually told Shi Ling about the miners. He was surprised that Zujia had a strong sense of trust in me.
"Oh my God! Does that mean he's exposed? β
"Yes." Shi Ling was very heavy, and said to himself a little: "Sister Xiao Mo took a few days off, she should have been very hit. After all, I have known him since he entered the first city bureau, and his ability is also very strong. For the position of captain of the serious crime detachment, the two of them have been secretly clamoring, admiring and unconvinced each other. Until Yu Zujia was airborne. It is said that the bureau had ordered him to come back last week to take over the work of others. Who knew that something like this would happen before leaving......"
"Why do you want to bring him back?" I don't understand.
Shi Lingren is like a few treasures: "Because the bureau is already very clear that the so-called Xieling Gate in the three eastern provinces is actually just a bunch of swindlers, cheating and deceiving food, drink and money; The core members are still in the capital, and they are real dangers. β
"Is the belly the owner of their altar?" I remembered the fat man's words.
"If I'm right: he's just a puppet. I guess he doesn't even know about those core members. But he may well have access to those people. Shi Lingren paused and said, "I guess that Xiao Mo's colleague is probably the one who did it over there." Otherwise, with his ability, it will be more than enough to deal with the belly and the like. β
"How do those core members over there know about him?"
"I don't know, but from my Yin and Yang point of view, those people are really terrifying, beyond my imagination. It's really like there are ghosts and gods. β
"Actually, it's very easy to deal with ghosts." He was afraid that I would be afraid, and comforted me: "It's just an electromagnetic wave, and if you don't believe it, it can't do anything about it." Because your will is also a shock wave of resistance. β
"Shiling people, I know." I blurted out, "But in this case, that's not the case." As soon as the words came out, my heart skipped a beat.
Shi Ling also realized my subtext, and the two of them fell silent. I broke the silence and said, "Shiling people, I recently studied the rules of the seized Xieling Gate, and found it very interesting!" β
"How?" The Shiling people have also returned to nature.
"The door rules say: In ancient times, it was the world of fairies and jade girls, and people lived happily. Later, he stole the national demon Dao, and instigated the Son of Heaven to use magic to plunder the Heavenly Immortal Jade Maiden and seal him with a sea of ice. Since then, the world has been dark. Therefore, the highest goal of the Jieling Gate is to rescue the Heavenly Immortal Jade Maiden and regain the Datong world. For this reason, the disciples must not hesitate to sacrifice themselves - to save the Heavenly Fairy and Jade Maiden. β
"Well, I know that, but what does this legend say?" Shi Ling was puzzled. "These tomb robbers are very dirty, and in history, gravediggers and tomb robbers have to humiliate corpses in addition to looting jewelry. From Liu Bang's wife Lu Pheasant's corpse being ravaged by the Red Mei Army, to the Tanglin thieves who dealt with the corpse of the Empress Dowager Cixi, they are all the extremes of moral corruption. These tomb robbers are ignorant and cruel, and it is reasonable for them to use religious means to win people's hearts. β
"It's actually worth looking into. Ever since I saw the name Fairy Jade Girl, I always felt that I had heard it somewhere. Later, I suddenly remembered: When the elective course teacher in the university talked about Taoism, a reference paper seemed to say: There is a kind of god in Taoism, called Jade Girl and Yuanjun, born from the goddess of Qiongtai in nature worship...... That means: "The Kundao Immortals who live on a high platform (high mountain) built by beautiful jade." For thousands of years, the people of Li who have lived in darkness and suffering, in the face of the cruel reality, have become increasingly strong in the long-term spiritual suppression, and especially need some powerful idols as spiritual support. The role of the mother god was born, and it gained widespread belief among the people. Therefore, in the history of the cultural inheritance of the ancient peoples, there are many mythological records and fairy legends about the social life system and the matriarchal society. One is in the "vast North American world" of the East, such as the elven gods. One in the West of the "vast European world" such as the gods of nature. One in the south of the "vast Antarctic world" like the gods of old. One in the south of the "vast African world" is the totemic god. One is the silent "vast Oceania world" in the south is the goddess of death. One is the "vast Asian world" in the north, with the Yangtze River Basin and the Yellow River Basin as the cultural core areas, and the Chinese cultural circle world in Asia. One of them is known as Bixia Yuanjun, the full name is "Tianxian Jade Girl Bixia Yuanjun", also known as "Taishan Jade Girl", commonly known as "Taishan Old Mother", and the folk affectionately call it "Taishan Old Grandma". Familiar? "I searched for a record on my phone and showed it to the Shiling people.
"Bixia Yuanjun (note), Kundao immortal (note), the jade girl invited by the Yellow Emperor (note), and the righteous sister of the god of Mount Tai. Bixia Yuanjun is also known as "Taishan Jade Girl", the full name is "Dongyue Taishan Tianxian Jade Girl Bixia Yuanjun", and the folk are commonly known as "Taishan Grandma". One of the Immortal Venerables of the Chinese Cultural Zone. "Taiping Yulan" quoted "The Yellow Emperor's Xuannu Tactics": The Yellow Emperor and Chiyou were invincible in nine battles, and the Yellow Emperor returned to Mount Tai, and the fog was dark for three days and three nights. There is a woman, the head of the bird, the head of the Yellow Emperor, the head of the Yellow Emperor, bow again, dare not rise. The woman said, "My daughter, what do you want?" The Yellow Emperor said: The kid wants to win all battles. Then the method of war was obtained. "The Jade Girl Examination" and "The Legend of Yao Chi" record: The Yellow Emperor built the Dai Yue Temple, and invited the Xikun Zhenren and the Jade Girl to Mount Tai to serve as the goddess of Mount Tai and rely on the spirit of Taidai. The jade girl crowned with cloud feather clothes and the jade girl of Huashan is a cultivator who has become a god. Ming and Wang Zhigang's "The Legend of the Jade Girl" contains: "The jade girl of Mount Tai is also a fairy goddess." I will see you when the Yellow Emperor is here, and I will see you again when I am the Emperor of the Han Ming Dynasty."
"A goddess in the shape of a human-headed bird?" Shi Ling muttered to himself, as if he had thought of something, and began to search with voice:
"Keyword: Tarzan...... Bird-shaped human head! β
The voice of the mobile phone rang: "In the Dongyue area, the myth of the shape of a human head and a bird can be traced back to the primitive society. Modern archaeological research and a large number of unearthed cultural relics prove that in the Paleolithic Age, 40,000 or 50,000 years ago, human beings who had developed to the stage of Homo sapiens lived and multiplied in the Taishan area. The Beixin culture, which dates back to about 7,500 years ago, as well as the later Dawenkou culture and Longshan culture, mark the continuity and extensive distribution of culture in this region. This is the birthplace of the Dongyi clan in the primitive society. The ancient Dongyi people are said to be the descendants of Emperor Yan, and their totem is a bird. The clans and tribes around Mount Tai, which used birds as totems, formed an alliance, and Shun was the leader of the Dongyi tribal alliance. To the west of the Taihang Mountains, the inhabitants of the middle reaches of the Yellow River are said to be descendants of the Yellow Emperor. After the Xia, Shang, and Three generations, it finally became one. The collection totem of the tribes in the middle and upper reaches of the Yellow River is the dragon, which is combined with the phoenix (bird) in the middle and lower reaches, so the dragon and the phoenix are auspicious, forming the Huaxia tribe. And its totem "bird", according to scholars' research, later evolved into the Queen Mother of the West, the word "West" does not refer to the direction here, the ancient "West" is the same as "perch", is the meaning of the bird perched on the tree. Later, although the name is constantly changing, but has never left Mount Tai, when Song Zhenzong sealed Mount Tai, because he had pulled out the Yellow Emperor to be the ancestor of the Zhao family, and this goddess of Mount Tai had helped the Yellow Emperor defeat Chi You, after the Song Dynasty, the title of Bixia Yuanjun gradually fixed.
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Liu Tong and Yu Yizheng "Emperor Jing Wu Luo", said that Song Zhenzong sealed Mount Tai in the east, "ordered to have Si Jianshan Temple Anfeng (goddess), the daughter of the Holy Emperor, and the fairy and jade girl Bixia Yuanjun." Qing Dynasty Foge's "Listening to the Rain Cong Talk" said: "Those who worship Dai pray in the temple of Mount Tai Niangniang, and the god of Fu Lu Yue has been there for a long time." Zhang Dai, a famous essayist and well-traveled essayist in the late Ming Dynasty, said: "The statue of Yuanjun is less than three feet, and the prosperity of incense is not found in the four continents" ("Langya Anthology 61 Dai Zhi"). In the twenty-second year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty (1593 AD), Wang Xijue said in the "Dongyue Bixia Palace Tablet": "In the Qilu Dao, the people who fasted and fasted the Buddha heard thousands of miles, and they were still cocooned and endless, and asked, saying: 'There is something to do in Bixia. 'Asking the reason, he said: 'Yuan Jun can benefit all living beings as he wishes.'" "The poor wish to be rich, the sick to be safe, the cultivator to be old, the poor to rest, the one who prays for life, and the heir to the childless; The son is a family wish, the brother is a brother, relatives are kind, but not willing to make wishes, and God is also sincere and fulfilling. There is also a well-known folklore in the Taishan area: Taishan old mother and Lafayette compete for Mount Tai, agreed to win with the first arrival, the old mother is a woman, of course, can not run the Buddha, but she has become the winner of her wisdom. Lafayette was unwilling to fail and was so angry that he uprooted the tree on the top of the mountain. The superficial meaning of this story is to explain why there are no trees on the top of Mount Tai, but the deeper meaning expresses the people's faith and love for Taishan's mother. β
"I don't know what to say!" Shi Lingren shook his head, "Although there have been since ancient times, it is unknown when it was called "Heavenly Fairy Jade Girl Bixia Yuanjun". The history books of the Song Dynasty "History of the Song Dynasty", "Literature General Examination", etc., describe the Song Zhenzong Feng Zen in detail, but none of them mention the title of "Bixia" to the goddess of Mount Tai: there is only one anecdote that Song Zhenzong was enshrined in Mount Tai, the jade girl pool, and the stone man surfaced, which was the jade girl. Song Zhenzong ordered the dredging of the soup pond, the white jade re-carved jade goddess statue, and ordered the Si Jian Temple and changed its name: "Zhaozhen Temple", sent an envoy to sacrifice, and gave the elegant title of "Tianxian Jade Maiden Bixia Yuanjun" and "Holy Emperor Girl". In various works of the Ming Dynasty, there are many mentions of the goddess of Mount Tai, but it is not stated when it was sealed. He changed a few more keywords, and his tone became solemn: "Keywords, goddess, Yuanjun, Chiyou......"
"The Yellow Emperor is especially savage, salty and unforbidden, on the Taishan Mountain, the Queen Mother of Taizhen West sent a messenger to grant a wide three inches, one foot long, green as jade, Dansha is the true charm of the text, cut its secret secret: "Taiyi in front, Tianyi in the back", the winner wins the battle, and the law is restrained. Then ask the Nine Heavens Xuannu to grant the Yellow Emperor the article of "Three Palaces and Five Meanings, Yin and Yang Strategy, Taiyi Dunjia Six Ren Step Fighting Techniques, Yin Fu Machine, Yang Gong Meeting, Lingbao Five Fu and Five Victories." The Yellow Emperor carefully studied the art of Xuanzi, and then he used the law to overcome the Chi in the Central Plains. β
"Taiyi God, Lingbao Sutra, West Queen Mother Clan, so that's it!" Shi Lingren looked excited, obviously eager to share his discovery with others: "Shui Yue, do you still know the Taoist priest of Laoshan Mountain?" β
"Cartoons?" I was stunned.
"Of course not, it's the Laoshan Taoist priest who governs the "Lingbao Sutra" and worships the Han people Zhang Lianfu, not the current Laoshan branch of the Quanzhen Sect and the Laoshan Taoist Institute of Wudang Mountain."
"I've read a lot of books when I investigated the case of Guanzilou, and I even came into contact with a lot of religious people, why haven't I heard much of this branch of Taoism?"
"Hehe, it is said that after a certain change of dynasty, it was not confirmed by the imperial court and disappeared on its own. Because they don't seem to like setting up a temple abbot, they like to travel, be good at Taoism, and take it as their responsibility to kill demons and eliminate demons. And there are very few people who believe in it. β
"So, how about we go visit your teacher?" Shi Ling proposed.
"This ......," I said, "the teacher is also reading from the book!" β
Shi Lingren really has great powers, he called Zuo Bosheng, and there was a reply after a while, saying that the professor who wrote the paper was also called Yu Wanli from Capital University, but he was expelled because of immorality. It's still notorious, so I haven't been back to school for a long time! β
"Oh, then I'd like to find him even more." Shi Ling said.
