Chapter 200. [Case 22] Puhua Tianzun

I carefully identified this painting, although it looks incomprehensible, but its degree of newness is much newer than the wall calendar on its face, and I took a closer look, our folk New Year's painting techniques are not reflected in this painting, such as printing and dyeing, etc. The imprints of the painting are clear, the edges are sharp, and the paper is white, but the white part does not leave the yellowing that has passed over time. So I concluded that the painting had been pasted recently.

If Uncle Liang pasted it himself, he obviously had no reason to put a wall calendar on top of this painting he had specially pasted. And I carefully compared, the size of the portrait and the size of the wall calendar happen to be the same, the wall calendar has been staying for a long time, judging from the date on the wall calendar, Uncle Liang has not turned this wall calendar for at least a long time, and he has not taken it off after a while, it is very likely that he has forgotten its existence at all. How could such a person put a brand new portrait on the bottom? Not to mention, the most direct victim of this incident is Uncle Liang himself, no one will be stupid enough to fix himself, right?

At this time, Hu Zongren also saw this portrait, but he showed a surprised expression. So I asked Hu Zongren, what's wrong, do you understand something? Hu Zongren said that the person on this portrait looks like our Taoist Puhua Tianzun! I refuted Hu Zongren and said, what nonsense are you talking about, your ancestors have forgotten it, how can Puhua Tianzun look like this.

I'm not lying, although I am not a Taoist family, but after all, the two Dao and Wu families have a great relationship, and many places are even similar, but some things have different angles at the level of understanding. Puhua Tianzun is an immortal of Taoism, and the reason why it is called Tianzun is because the word "Tianzun" belongs to the supreme and top in Taoism. The full name of Puhua Tianzun is "Nine Heavens Yingyuan Thunder Puhua Tianzun", which is commonly known as "Thunder God". Seeing this, many people may laugh and say that Thor is not the movie character with big blond hair, wearing a suit of armor and a red cape? In fact, Thor has always existed in various cultures, and the accumulation of thousands of years has drawn up today's image. But Hu Zongren said that this is Puhua Tianzun, which I can't agree with anything, a year ago in Fu Qiang's hut of the Eighteen Ladders, Fu Qiang granted me and Hu Zongren two finger charms, a Nine Phoenix Jun Talisman, a thunder talisman, and the thunder talisman here is the summoned Puhua Tianzun, so in this opinion, I think I will not be wrong.

Hu Zongren said to me, this is true, the portraits of the Nine Heavens Ying Yuan Thunder Puhua Tianzun that you saw before are in Taoist legends and myths, and a large part of the humanization has been carried out, because most of the people who believe in Taoism believe that if they practice hard, they will become immortals one day, but the immortals live in the sky, and the people on the earth can't see them, so according to their own appearance, plus the depictions of the immortals by the predecessors, they have all turned into human appearances, but in terms of distinction, there are some very significant characteristics.

Hu Zongren continued, you know the birthday star, right? I said of course I do. Hu Zongren said that in the impression of the people, Shou Xinggong is just a man with a cane in his hand, smiling, and a long beard, but he has a big forehead, right? I said yes, the first time I saw Shou Xinggong was in Journey to the West, and I was still amazed at the time, saying how hard it was to hang such a big piece of flour on my head. Hu Zongren knew that nonsense with me usually ended in his fiasco, so he skipped my answer directly, and continued, Then you also know Erlang God, right? I said that there are so many Taoist immortals, I can't remember everything, but I'm still very familiar with this, isn't it the best at letting dogs bite people? Hu Zongren slapped his face and said, isn't this the end? When we distinguish some immortals, it has little to do with their own appearance, but with their other characteristics. For example, this Erlang Shenjun, his most notable feature is the eyes on his forehead, and the roaring dog beside him, if you have these two things, then do you think it matters what he looks like?

Hu Zongren is usually stupid, when it comes to some things in Taoism, he is indeed much more proficient than me, although he doesn't want to admit it, but I was still persuaded by him at that moment. But I'm still a little unconvinced, even if you're right, this portrait is a bird's beak and human face, neither holding a whip in his hand, nor riding a unicorn on his crotch, why do you say that people are Nine Heavens Ying Yuan Thunder Puhua Tianzun? Hu Zongren laughed and said, Speaking of this, you are really not as good as me. We say that the Nine Heavens Ying Yuan Thunder Puhua Tianzun often refers to the immortal who is responsible for the thunder, many people do not believe in Taoism, and naturally they don't know what the Nine Heavens Ying Yuan Thunder Puhua Tianzun looks like, for them, our thunder god, in fact, and the Lei Gong in their mouths, is basically the same thing.

Hu Zongren continued, this has led to some people who have special ways of worshiping, thinking that they are worshipping Lei Gong, but in fact, they are still worshipping our Thunder God. As soon as Hu Zongren said this, I suddenly remembered that the portrait of this person's face and bird's beak seemed to be really the appearance of Lei Gong.

It won't be wrong, the person in the portrait, if in terms of appearance, is indeed our folk depiction of Lei Gong. And the prototype of this Lei Gong is actually just as Hu Zongren said, although it is not the Nine Heavens Ying Yuan Thunder Puhua Tianzun Buddha, but on the way to worship, it can be regarded as borrowing flowers to offer Tianzun. Hu Zongren then said to me, the one on this portrait is actually Lei Zhenzi, Lei Zhenzi you know, right? I said that of course I know that in the list of gods, he is the 100th child of Zhou Wen Wang Jichang, and he is also the apprentice of Yun Zhongzi. Hu Zongren said, that's right, in mythology, the reason why Lei Zhenzi is what he is now is also due to Yun Zhongzi. After speaking, Hu Zongren stretched out his finger and pointed to the portrait on the door.

This legend, thousands of years later, in this dilapidated house, Hu Zongren and I naturally don't have time to discuss it in detail, since Hu Zongren and I have recognized the person in the portrait, in fact, it is Lei Zhenzi, we can be regarded as agreeing on this issue. But soon Hu Zongren looked at the portrait and frowned and said, But if you say it is Lei Zhenzi, but there is something wrong. I asked Hu Zongren, what's wrong again, where did you get so many wrong? Hu Zongren said, first of all, this Lei Zhenzi does not wear shoes, and his feet are also bird claws, and secondly, Lei Zhenzi can fly, and he should have wings behind him. I didn't answer, because I really didn't have the right to speak, and I wanted to slap my swollen face and become fat, but I thought that if I leaked my mouth, I would have to be laughed at by Hu Zongren, what a humiliating thing it was. Hu Zongren continued, and the appearance of the folk Lei Gong, the weapon in his hand is also different from this portrait, Lei Gong should be holding a mountain hammer in one hand and a big iron chisel in the other, how did it become a small stick and a pen here?

Hu Zongren reached out to the four words "Nengwen Nengwu" and picked it out, then looked at his fingernails, and said to me with a puzzled look, strange, this painting is printed, but these four words are handwritten. It's over, I really don't know what's wrong with this painting.

There must be something strange, but we haven't noticed it yet. And this painting is obviously related to religion, but we can't tell if it is related to the strange things in the whole room, and the legendary White Lotus Cult. We heard Uncle Liang's long and short breathing through the door, so I reminded Hu Zongren that let's not stay here for too long, let's get out of the door first. Hu Zongren nodded, then suddenly tore off the wall calendar hanging on the door and had been picked up by my hand, and then tore off the portrait of the suspected thunder shock, rolled it up, and then exited the room with me one after the other.

After going out, Sister Liang asked us what happened, she probably knew on our expressions that we were in a big trouble, she naturally didn't have to worry about the two of us, it was not related to each other, she was worried about her father. Hu Zongren and I didn't answer her, I just took out a piggy bank and put it in front of Sister Liang, saying that I found this thing in the closet next to your father's bed, you take a closer look, do you know the origin of this thing?

When she saw the piggy bank, Sister Liang was suddenly surprised, and then asked me, why did you go through my father's wardrobe, and why did you just take out this piggy bank? I felt a little aggrieved and said, that's because I am responsible for you, I want to find out why your father was haunted by ghosts and got sick with ghosts, and fortunately I looked through it, the supernatural reaction on this piggy bank is likely to be directly related to your father's current symptoms, you either tell me everything you can afford, or you can find someone else to help you!

After speaking, I slapped the compass on the side of the piggy bank, and then pointed to the finger on the compass and said to Sister Liang, take a good look at it yourself, normal jar, will this pointer turn so badly? The hands on the compass still rotated violently, but I quickly noticed that even then, it was spinning much less than it had been at the bedside. Could it be that if this piggy bank and Uncle Liang himself are together, will they still echo each other?

Sister Liang saw that I was a little angry, and she looked a little embarrassed. So she picked up the piggy bank and told me and Hu Zongren that this piggy bank was a birthday gift that her father bought for her when she was a child. I always thought that I couldn't find it a long time ago, but who knew that my father would still keep it.
