Chapter Ninety-Four: Wong Tai Sin

Maybe for many people, when they hear the name weasel, the image of the meerkat will appear in their minds, that is, the kind of meerkat that will stand up and look at it whenever there is any trouble, so the name of the weasel seems to be extremely unfamiliar, but as long as the common name of the weasel is mentioned, no one should not know it, and the weasel is a weasel.

Weasel, as if it was a name with its own magical glow, appears frequently in various folk tales.

The earliest Chinese record of a weasel becoming a fine is a novel from the Ming Dynasty called Geng Si Bian.

The story is probably like this, a long, long time ago, there was a person in Suzhou, one day, his family suddenly gathered a group of weasels, and also wreaked havoc on the items in the house, forced to helpless this person went to find the Taoist temple of immortal cultivators, wanted to ask what can be done to prevent the appearance of the weasel, the Taoist priest of the Taoist temple immediately drew a charm to give to the people, and when the people returned home to post the charm on the door, the weasel never entered the house again.

But the strange thing is that one morning, a creature with a weasel's head and a human body came to the Taoist temple in an attempt to confuse the Taoist chief into asking him not to help the people anymore, but the Taoist chief was not fooled, and used a charm to drive away the weasel that had become a spirit in time.

In the Qing Dynasty, Pu Songling, who was good at writing novels about gods and ghosts, wrote this kind of weasel with a sense of mystery into his famous book "Strange Tales from Liao Zhai", so it gradually left a stereotype in people's hearts that the weasel is the kind of vengeful and terrifying creature.

In addition, weasel has even incarnated into the "Five Folk Immortals" in some places, and the "Five Great Immortals" refer to those animals that have gained demonic power through cultivation, namely foxes, weasels, snakes, hedgehogs and mice. In the traditional story, these five immortals and humans have coexisted for a long time, and they are also immortals and demons, so there is a folk worship of Wong Tai Sin.

The reason why Wong Tai Sin appeared was because in the last years of the Qing Dynasty, shamanism (a folk belief of ethnic minorities) appeared in the northeast, this sect used witchcraft to cure people's diseases, and the most important sign of shamanism is that everything in the world has a spirit, so they regard weasels as gods who will protect them and worship them, so the name Wong Tai Sin has gradually become known.

Of course, Wong Tai Sin here is different from the Wong Tai Sin of Taoism.

Taoism also has a Huang Tai Sin, surnamed Huang Chuping, a native of the Jin Dynasty, and his name is Chi Songzi.

This Wong Tai Sin was originally only a deity in the southeast coastal area, but he was later revered by Taoism, so he became a Taoist deity.

"Okay, you can leave on your own, I won't kill you." He Weitong put away the long sword and said.

He Weitong didn't see karma in these weasels, so maybe it was really as he said, it didn't hurt anyone.

"Thank you for your kindness, thank you for your kindness!" The adult weasel kept saying goodbye.

"Okay, let's go, if you wait for my fellow Daoist to come back, you won't be able to leave." He Weitong waved his hand.

"Can a real person ......?"

"You want to intercede for the weasel who escaped, I can't do anything about this, that Qiushan Dao Changping hates the demon clan the most, and you are making trouble under his nose this time, how can he be resigned, if that weasel falls into his hands, it must be dead or alive, don't say that I can't persuade him, even if I can, I'm afraid there is no such opportunity, he will never come back alive with it."

"Alright, let's go." He Weitong said.

Seeing that He Weitong's words had already been said here, the weasel knew that there would be no result if he continued to ask for it, so the weasel bowed to He Weitong again, and then left with the weasel behind him.

He Weitong watched the weasel jump on the viewing wall and run out, not stopping, just watching.

He Weitong has no prejudice against the demon clan, as long as he doesn't provoke him, he generally won't care, after all, they are all swimmers, so why bother each other.

"You're not like Qiu Shan, you're a good person." A child's voice suddenly came from behind He Weitong.

He Weitong turned around and found that he didn't know when, the little Sitou in the courtyard had come to his side.

Hearing Xiao Sito's praise, He Weitong smiled, not knowing what to say.

Is he a good guy? Maybe yes or maybe not, anyway, He Weitong feels that he is not a good person, and he doesn't want to be a good person.

He doesn't want to be bound by the meaning of the word "good person", he doesn't look good or bad in doing things, he does what he wants, and only depends on the will at that time.

"Alright, you go play."

After saying that, he sat down again and delved into the rejuvenation technique.

Seeing that He Weitong didn't talk to him, Si Tou finally showed a smile, and immediately took it back, lowered his head and slowly turned around and went to be his own again.

He Weitong slowly emptied his head and no longer thought about the weasel.

………………

About an hour later, Qiu Shan walked into the gate.

Seeing He Weitong meditating in front of the altar, Qiu Shan reacted at this time, and there was still a guest in the view.

"Baicao Daoyou, Qiu Shan is rude, and he has been away for a while, Daoist friends are not strange." Qiu Shan hurried over to apologize.

On the futon, He Weitong slowly opened his eyes, looked at the hills and mountains in front of him, smiled and said: "It's not necessary to make amends, but I want to hear what is the matter that can make Daoist friends chase them out regardless of it." ”

"It's a weasel." Qiu Shan replied.

"How can Taoist friends meet monsters in the view."

"It's annoying, that monster took advantage of my absence and occupied my Star Pavilion, if I hadn't investigated carefully, maybe I would have been kept in the dark, and let that beast gain enlightenment with the help of the incense power of the idol." Qiu Shan's face was full of indignation.

"Daoist friends can catch up with that monster."

"This is natural, although the monster ran fast, but the path was too shallow, and I had whipped it to death." Qiu Shan replied.

He Weitong nodded, and then stopped talking, but he couldn't help but feel sorry for the weasel who died at the hands of Qiu Shan.

Monsters like weasels are very easy to attain if they can stick to their hearts and not harm others, that is, they transform into Wong Tai Sin.

Although He Weitong felt sorry for the innocent weasel, it was only for a moment, because everything in the world has its own fate.

"Fellow Daoist, please wait a while, I'll go wash up first, and then come out to talk to Daoyou." Qiu Shan glanced at the dirt on his body and said.

"Daoist friends go by themselves."

He Weitong looked at the direction of Qiu Shan's departure, but he was thinking in his heart about what might happen in the middle of the watch tonight.

The weasel has a strong sense of revenge, and maybe, the few he let go will come back tonight to take revenge.

"Hey!" He Weitong sighed, he sighed both the innocence of the weasel and the stubbornness of Qiu Shan.

When the weasel encounters Qiu Shan, it can only be said that there should be this catastrophe in his fate.
