Chapter 158: Possessed by Evil Spirits
According to the Shouwang Zen Master, the method adopted by the belly is not actually a seizure...... As the name suggests, he gave up his body and occupied his body, after all, Director Xia is still alive.
The method he uses is similar to possession.
According to the Shouwang Zen master, Buddhism believes in the six reincarnations, ghosts belong to one of the six realms of hell, must be washed away from sin, in order to be reincarnated and reborn, but there is no invulnerable prison in the world, all dynasties, there is always a half of the wandering soul evil spirit escaped from prison, over time, the accumulation of hundreds of evil spirits wandering around the world, they are greedy for the past, hate the living, often possess the human body, poison the living soul.
For this reason, the ancient people also invented various methods to fight, such as through the door god peach charm, Fu Qi Dan water to drive away ghosts, all kinds of things, various, legend has a kind of ghost killing medicine, similar to the current "intestinal worm clear", if someone is possessed by ghosts, take this medicine can basically solve the problem. For example, during the Tianbao period of the Tang Dynasty, there was a Confucian student surnamed Gao in the Bohai area, who had been suffering from chest pain and could not be cured, so he invited a famous doctor to diagnose and treat him. The doctor took a closer look and said that there was a ghost hiding in his chest and prescribed a medicine for him to eat. Gao Rusheng soon felt something stirring in his chest, and then spit out a small figure, which was only a little bigger at first, and soon grew to a few feet tall. Gao Rusheng wanted to catch this ghost and question him, but he immediately escaped. Gao Rusheng's illness was so cured.
In ancient times, witch doctors were not separated, but doctors were not professionals in dealing with ghosts after all, and there were not many people with the skills of this famous doctor, so a more practical way was to ask professional wizards to exorcise and kill ghosts. Asking sorcerers to hunt ghosts has been around since at least the Shang Dynasty, and there is an introduction to the ritual of exorcism in the inscription of the Western Zhou bronze "Bird Gui". Of all the wizards, the most famous is the hereditary royal hereditary wizard of the Zhou Dynasty, Fang Xiang. Han Fuli introduced the whole process of Fang Xiang's exorcism in the palace. The exorcism is carried out in winter, and cattle and sheep are sacrificed at the palace gate and city gate to ward off the yin energy. Select one hundred and twenty Xiaohuangmen who are over ten years old and under twelve years old, and then ask a wizard to be the leading brother, this wizard has been called Fang Xiangshi since ancient times.
Since the beginning of the Dayu family, Fang Xiang's family has also been passed down from generation to generation. They wore bearskins and masks on their heads. This mask is also elaborate, it is made of gold and has four eyes. Fang Xiangshi was wearing a black dress and a red skirt, holding a Ge in one hand and a shield in the other, leading the one hundred and twenty small yellow doors to exorcise ghosts in the palace. While making all kinds of slashing and slashing movements, they also chanted: All kinds of ghosts, listen, we have invited your natural enemies, there are twelve heavenly gods, to deal with you. If you are caught, you must open your stomach and cut it piecemeal, and those who know each other should get out of here quickly, otherwise it will become the rations of the gods, which is very inappropriate.
In this way, shouting and chopping in the palace, back and forth three times, Fang Xiangshi came out with the torch, and there were guards outside the door to follow the torch and send it out of the palace gate, and then it was like holding a torch relay ceremony, all the way to the river, and the torch was thrown into the water, symbolizing that the ghosts were also thrown into the water and flowed away. In case of some special circumstances, such as the death of the monarch, it is also necessary to exorcise ghosts, and Fang Xiang's clan will open the way in front of the funeral coffin and expel evil ghosts along the way. When they arrived at the cemetery, Fang Xiang's clan had to enter the tomb and attack all kinds of ghosts in the tomb.
As far as ordinary people are concerned, it is impossible to afford such a grand event. Besides, under the conditions of ordinary people, it is impossible for there to be so many ghosts that need to be exorcized. What's more, a national chief wizard like Fang Xiang, who has a rank and title, can't be invited even if he has money. Therefore, the exorcism activities of ordinary families are all condensed and popularized, and the barefoot wizards in the village are invited to deal with them. If you encounter a few ghosts with no mana, you can clean up the ghosts without working for a wizard.
Shi Ling people know that Buddhism is actually very xenophobic, depending on the Dan Tao and the outside way, not to mention the flow of witches, Shouwang Zen Master is not an ancient person, there is no praise or disparagement in the words, he even mentioned that there is also this kind of magic in foreign countries, 20 years ago, the country just opened, he read a book published in 1951 "The Science of Survival" in an old man's house, this book is also to promote the existence of the soul. However, unlike the Nestorian religion, the Tendon Sect, and the Tianfang Sect, the book says that man is neither spiritual nor material, but a kind of soul body, called Saitan, which is probably derived from the Greek letter theta, which means mind and life.
The author sees human beings as the reincarnation and evolution of the powerful God Setan, and after entering the multidimensional world of matter-energy-space-time on the earth, man forgets his past status as a god, and in the process of reincarnation, attaches to other souls, hindering the movement of his own soul...... Sounds like an evil spirit.
The spiritism taught in the book will help people remove mental disorders, allow people to recover from the mental trauma of their previous lives, and re-realize their true identity as Setan, transcending the limitations of matter and time and space, and entering a higher level than "purification". The term ascension also started when it was imported from the west and the east.
Yu Zujia was amazed when he heard it, and the Zen master also mentioned that some clever half-immortals may choose another soul to replace when they can't recruit all souls but want to save face, but people have three souls and seven souls, and this soul is easy to conflict with other souls - in this case, the rescued person often has a great change in personality, is more obedient, it is difficult to control his subconscious, and it is easy to provoke other wandering spirits to take away. Some people are always taken away, in fact, this is the truth. ”
"Why can't you recruit them all? Will they not be able to recruit them, so that people will only have to die? Shi Lingren, who went to visit the Zen Master with Yu Zujia this time, listened with relish and couldn't help but interject and ask.
"I think it's like this: when everyone dies, their soul naturally flies out of their body, and either they are recycled by the six realms of reincarnation – of course you don't believe it – if there are six realms of reincarnation that specialize in recovering the soul.
Either they drift away naturally - Zhuangzi believes that the soul is spiritual, and it belongs to nature.
Returning to nature is also the choice that souls should choose, they will not guard the dead.
However, if the spirits are accidentally exorcized, such as the Takeaway, then they will generally gather around the body at any time, waiting for a chance to return to their positions.
But it is not excluded that some accidents - some souls have run away and cannot find themselves.
When I was younger...... Before liberation, he and his mentor summoned the soul of a young master who had a big benefactor, but he couldn't find it.
Later, the teacher was ready to find a random substitute, and a servant of his family provided that the young master once had a crush on a woman, and because the woman was higher than him, he did not dare to violate ethics, but he often secretly thought about it...... Later, the teacher went to the woman's room, and sure enough, he found his soul. ”
The Shouwang Zen Master was immersed in the memories and smiled: "This person is also a lover, and his legend is comparable to that of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty...... It's just that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is to see one and love one, and the long-term affection is even weaker, from the perspective of economics, such as exorcism and ghost hunting are just inferior, and cannot be sustainable, and the more high-end atmosphere is to attract ghosts. For example, there are people in the middle of the Fang Immortal Dao beside Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty who are proficient in this technique. Emperor Wu has loved beauties the most all his life, and men and women can't help it, but they like the new and hate the old. Lady Hook is only his new favorite in the final stage, and there have been countless pioneers before. Not to mention Jinwu Zangjiao, followed by Wei Zifu, Mrs. Wang, and Mrs. Li's brothers and sisters.
Li was born in a civilian family, his parents and brothers are both musical, and they are both artists who take music and dance as their profession. Later, Princess Pingyang recommended it to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and was awarded the title of wife, and won the favor of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and was good at fixing favors, and gave birth to a son of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Ji, the king of Changyi. It's a pity that the face is thin.
After Mrs. Li died of illness, Emperor Wu missed her and buried her with the gift of the queen. It happened that the Fang Shi Li Shaoweng was good at serving ghosts and spirits, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty asked him to set up an altar in the palace to summon spirits, so that he could meet Mrs. Li again. So Li Shaoweng spent ten years to find a strange stone that could make the soul cling, carved into the appearance of Mrs. Li and placed it in the light gauze curtain, and lit the lamp and candle at night, and invited Emperor Wu to watch in the tent. Emperor Wu looked at the figure that looked like Mrs. Li stupidly, and wrote sadly: "Is it evil? Non-evil? Looking at it immediately, it is too late. ”
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, who was obsessed with the way of immortality, was very happy and wanted to get close to "Mrs. Li", but Li Shaojun said that there was a strange poison on the stone, not to mention that the soul was not a living person, so he could only look at it from a distance and could not get close. In order to prevent Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty from touching it by mistake, Li Shaojun quickly smashed the stone statue into powder and made it into a pill for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to take, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty never dreamed of Mrs. Li again. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty then built the Mengling Terrace, which was used to worship Mrs. Li, and even took the line of the King of Changyi where Mrs. Li was, and also came out with a deposed emperor Liu He, who ascended the throne after the death of Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty, and was deposed for 27 days in the reign, and the emperor was addicted.
As for Li Shaoweng, the general of Wencheng, he also died in the end, but the magic of this ghost trick was finally handed down. Before the liberation, people in the world were ignorant, where they had a stroke, fell off a cliff, were frightened, cried at night, and had nightmares, they thought that they had "lost their souls", and their families begged bitterly, asking the half-immortals to call the soul back, generally calling it for three consecutive nights, and the soul returned to the body. When a child of the Han family is sick, he often thinks that his soul is lost outside the village, and the mother will take the child's clothes and go outside the village to call the child's name and summon his spirit.
Even in the backwoods, in the wilderness, it is not limited to people themselves, but also applies to animals and plants. For example, the Kino people summon the soul of the god of ceres, the Miao people summon the soul of the cow, and the Yi people also have the custom of summoning the soul of their elders who have been away for many years or have died in a foreign land. Presided over by a shaman, he often stands on a high mountain, looking in the direction of the deceased, calling the name of the deceased, while using twine to occupy the spirit of the deceased. Zhuang, Maonan and other ethnic groups also have witchcraft to summon the spirits of the dead and lovers. Usually young men invite witches, the wizard covers his head with a sheet, and asks the god to possess the body, and soon she enters a coma and announces that the soul has been possessed, so the witch represents the man's lover, singing to the man, and pouring out her heartfelt feelings.
Even at the feet of the Son of Heaven in the old days, there was often a place where people were surging. The walls behind the crowd were covered with yellow cloth plaques. The old capital knows that this is a "dancing god" and "top real fire". Believers call these people "half-immortals." The "fax words" must be strictly adhered to and not passed on to parents and wives, but in fact, they are afraid of being exposed.
These god-jumping people said that they could attract the possession of the gods, preach on behalf of the gods, and were good at setting up altars to worship the gods, recruiting believers, collecting money, solving problems for everyone, healing diseases, and even using witchcraft to summon the lost spirits back. It is often said that the half-immortals, "witches" and "witches", many villagers have colds, headaches and fevers, and are regarded as evil diseases. The family invited them, made the patient lie on the bed, covered his head and face, filled a bowl of water on the ground in front of the patient's bed, dipped three chopsticks in the water, and went back and forth on the patient's body, chanting words in his mouth, channeling ghosts, if the chopsticks stood on the water bowl, that is, he thought that the evil spirits were cured, gave rice noodles, burned paper, beat the chopsticks out of the door with a broom, and splashed the water outside the door, saying that the ghost was sent away. To this day, this wind is still seen in remote mountain villages.
Such people may have secret skills but no Taoism, so they are often unsightly in the shady corners of the city. The yellow cloth plaques are mostly the reward of believers, rewarding them for their good results, but in fact, they are a means of propaganda and ostentation. Often the devout and frustrated, or the unlucky poor, the difficult and seriously ill go to the door alone, and some go bankrupt. The poor are enslaved by them, and even the women are bullied by them, but in fact these people are unscrupulous, acting according to the situation, and also deceiving others with tricks, and harming others a lot. More people claim to be possessed by gods, with boundless divine power, able to drive away evil spirits and ghosts, and turn evil into good fortune, but in fact, they are confused to cheat money and collect money.
Many people in the world do not seek medical treatment when they are sick, listen to the nonsense of gods and witches, and are cheated of money and goods at the least, and lose their lives by delay. In addition, this generation did not know the general trend, and cooperated with the rule of the previous dynasty to form a Taoist sect, but it encountered a humanitarian tide, and the vast soup soup was devastated, and later disappeared in the capital, and other places also converged. It was only a few years ago that there was a resurgence.
However, even if the half-immortal does have real talent and learning, because of all kinds of accidents, sometimes the result of the soul conjuring is worse, although the original soul of the person is recovered, but sometimes a soul is damaged, and this person's personality has to change......"
Yu Zujia actually listened very carefully, he didn't expect that the theory of evil spirits would actually have its own set of rules. Shi Lingren suddenly asked, "That young master, it won't be surnamed Yue, right?"
The Shouwang Zen Master was shocked and said in a low voice: "Amitabha, the dead are gone, why ruin people's reputation." ”
Seeing that he couldn't ask anything, Yu Zujia was not discouraged,
"If a man is taken away, what will he behave like?" After seeing Shi Lingren's consultation, he hurriedly asked. "His state should be visible: such as dull eyes, cold or something.
You think, for the ghost, it's using a body that doesn't belong to him, as if wearing an exoskeleton, he must be awkward to use.
By the way, the most important thing is that some of the behaviors are similar to those of ghosts - such as not being able to see sunlight and so on.
