Chapter 486: Halloween! The Fourth Game of Death

……

In the blink of an eye, seven days later.

The fourth death game of childlike innocence has begun again.

【Fourth Game of Death: Halloween】

【Location: Ancient Ghost Town of Dragon Kingdom】

[Rules of the game: Go to the ghost town during the Midyear Festival and rescue the yuan fetus for this life. The player guarantees that the original fetus does not die, and the game is considered successful, and there are only two days, and at least three of the ten children are retained.

[Participating players: 50 people]

July 15 represents Halloween.

The so-called Halloween Festival, as the name suggests, is a festival related to ghosts.

There are many Halloween festivals in this world, such as the seventh half of the month, the Qingming Festival, and the first day of the 30th month of March.

In the West, Halloween has holiday Halloween, Halloween, and so on.

And every year on July 15 of the lunar calendar, it is the Zhongyuan Festival that has three ghost festivals in the Dragon Kingdom once a year, and the Buddha calls it the Yuyuan Festival.

In this human world, there is also a dragon kingdom, and unlike the dragon kingdom that Tong Xin knows, the dragon kingdom in this world is more powerful, and it is one of the three major countries in the world today.

The location of this death game is the ghost town of the Dragon Kingdom [Xudu].

Legend has it that on this day, the king of the ghost world Yama will open the ghost gate of the earth branch gate, allowing the imprisoned ghosts to come out and move freely, and will not return to the underworld until the end of July.

Therefore, during this period of time, the folk are popular to worship and summon the souls of their deceased relatives, burn money, ingots paper, a candle, and put river lanterns, the practice is to pray for the blessing of the ancestors, eliminate disasters and increase blessings or exceed the soul of the dead, and resolve grievances.

Many people don't know the origin of Halloween in the Dragon Kingdom, but Childlike is very clear about this, and he specially searched for information about Halloween and Yudu in order to cope with this game.

In fact, Halloween originated from the Buddhist Church.

Legend has it that Venerable Shenlong, a disciple of the Great Buddha, has not received any money yet.

Both parents died, and he missed his mother very much.

When he was done, he used his Heavenly Eye to look for his mother, who had fallen into the path of evil spirits, and the food turned into a raging fire, making her miserable.

His Holiness was heartbroken and asked the Buddha for a way to liberate.

The Buddha reprimanded, because your mother was a great sin in her life, and she fell into the path of evil ghosts after death, and she will never recover.

So the Federation of Things went through all the hardships, and the monks and monks of Guangji did a grand *** on July 15, exceeding, resisting the dead souls, and finally freed the mother from the sea of suffering.

Obon is the meaning of the mother river Chinese language hanging upside down, originally this festival Dragon Country of the east soil has nothing to do with it.

But it just so happened that the day of the Eastern Tudi Guan pardon word of the local religion of the Dragon Kingdom was also on this day, so the Yu Dynasty and the original coincided, and the filial piety combined form incorporated into the Dragon Yuan had an edifying effect and spread in the Dragon Kingdom.

The Nakagen Ghost Festival is a festival with a long history of ghost culture in the Dragon Kingdom.

In the primitive society, human beings worship all things and have spirits, and the thought of ritual sacrifice is the law, and those who are born between heaven and earth are all things alive, and those who die die.

Later, the thoughts became more and more clearly separated from the animism, forming a unique system, constituting a huge ghost system.

Such as the Emperor of Hell, the King of the Ten Palaces and the Judges, the Black and White Impermanence, the Ox Head and Horse Face, the Meng Po, etc., and are reflected in folk customs, festivals and ghost stories.

There are generally two kinds of ghosts sacrificed on Halloween, one is evil ghosts, that is, ghosts that die abnormally, such as ghosts that kill, drown, burn, hang, etc., which are called dead ghosts in vain.

Evil spirits are a teaching concept that appears in the minds of ghosts, and it is a direct response to the fear of death in primitive humans.

Primitive people were quite afraid of the ghosts of the murderous and often performed different funeral rituals.

To this day, there is still a saying that the murderous dead are not allowed to reincarnate and turn into a lonely soul or a wild ghost, or enter the eighteenth layer of hell and never turn over.

This kind of ghost has the heaviest resentment and often comes out to charm the world.

After human beings entered the civilized society, they added the moral concept to the evil spirits, that is, if they created sins or did things in their hearts before death, they should also fight after death.

main

It is to transcend these evil spirits, so that they can alleviate their sins, dissolve their grievances, and thus alleviate their suffering.

There is also the so-called good ghosts, mainly dead ancestors and relatives.

This type of ghost sacrifice is a manifestation of ancestor worship.

In primitive societies, the concept of good ghosts appeared almost simultaneously with evil ghosts, and people believed that ghosts related to them would not only not harm themselves, but would also become a protective force for their own clan or future generations.

This kind of thinking has a profound influence on the sacrificial and funeral customs of the ghost culture of the Dragon Kingdom.

For example, in the Ming and Qing dynasties and the Ghost Festival, the ancestors were worshipped through the ghosts of their deceased relatives in the first dynasty, and the ghosts were prayed for blessings.

Halloween in Dragon Kingdom is different from Halloween in the West.

Modern Halloween has almost become a special carnival, and it does not have the function of remembering the ancestors.

The Zhongyuan Ghost Festival in the Dragon Kingdom is more serious and filial, and produces many taboos.

【Contraindications】

For example, you can't go to the river alone during Halloween, so as not to be dragged into the water by the drowned ghost and become his substitute ghost.

You can't start work on this day of work, and you don't choose this day as the opening day, and so on.

The activities and customs of the Central Plains Ghost Festival, people are most familiar with the three phases of conjuring spirits, worshipping ancestors, practicing practitioners, dojos and releasing river lanterns.

The conjuring here is different from the summoning of a person who has just died, and it is a remembrance of a deceased loved one.

Ancestor worship generally begins after the conjuring spirit, and the customs are different in various places, but most of them involve four leeks, lighting incense, lighting candles, burning paper money and other rituals, and the whole family can eat them only after the sacrifice is complete.

Sacrificial used leeks, the practice is the dojo Buddhism, this super event is the specific display of the Buddha's Pudu sentient beings' thoughts, often held very grandly, the monks gathered, the scene is so big.

During this period, the troupe is invited to stage a great joy about the stories of gods and ghosts in the underworld.

The third item is to release river lanterns.

This ancient custom originated around the ancient times of the Dragon Kingdom.

At that time, it was only monks who put river lanterns in the release pond, but later it spread to the people, and became a beautiful custom for people to express their thoughts about their dead relatives and blessings to the living.

On the night of the Midyear Festival, people use paper to tie lotus lanterns, goldfish lanterns, small ghost lanterns, Guanyin lanterns, ingots lanterns and other special lanterns, go down the river, the stars are dotted, twinkling, and the whole river is dressed up beautifully like poetry.

It's a pity that up to now, except for a few towns with quaint folk customs, it is difficult for people to see the activities of putting river lanterns, and these beautiful pictures can only remain in memory.

[The second is the natural fetus, also known as the ghost fetus]

The midyear festival is a festival where people remember the dead, and the folk like to call it the Ghost Festival.

Legend has it that on this day, all kinds of ghosts will come to the yang world, and many people will avoid the day of the 15th day of the seventh month when giving birth.

It is said that people born on Halloween are called natural fetuses.

Because the white ghost wanders at night, it is likely to be reincarnated in the human world.

So, what will be the fate of the natural fetus born on Halloween?

Does the natural fetus really have the special function of the eye of the sky?

Halloween is a festival in China with an ancient year.

Halloween has a very old legend.

On Halloween, many people will not go out, especially pregnant women, many pregnant women will be pulled by the elderly and not allowed to go out.

If it weren't for so many things, Childlike would definitely not believe this statement.

Many people say that faith is spiritual, and unbelief is not spiritual.

Is it okay to have a child born on Halloween?

Many people say that children born on Halloween are ghosts left behind in the world and have not returned to the underworld at the most accurate time.

Therefore, the baby born on Halloween has the title of natural ghost boy.

When the ghost boy hears it, he feels like a ghost child.

Halloween is the 14th and 15th of July, and many people go home early these days and don't wander the streets.

The gates of Hades are opened on the 14th of July, and all the ghosts

They all began to come to the yang world, where they could see their former relatives and walk in the streets.

And July 15 is the last time for the white ghost to go back to the underworld, if he doesn't go back on July 15.

The ghost can't go back, and there will be a natural ghost baby in the underworld.

Of course, this is a superstitious view for everyone.

There are many people who say that babies born on Halloween are born with a certain talent or bad luck.

According to the Yin-Yang family, Halloween is the heaviest yin, and what living people need in life is yang, and too much yin will not help the baby's growth, so many people say that the baby born on Halloween is very bad.

When the yin qi is heavy, the ghost is easy to get on the body of a living person, especially the soul, and the spiritual power is not as strong as that of an adult.

There is a folk saying that a baby born on Halloween is called a natural fetus, and it will have a rough fate in life.

Therefore, some pregnant women will avoid giving birth on July 15 and have a caesarean section in advance if the due date is July 15.

July 15 is Halloween, and on this day, white ghosts have a holiday, and they can relax in the sun.

The ghost door is opened in the middle of the night on the fourteenth day, and until the middle of the night on the fifteenth, all the ghosts must go to the perish world before the north gate closes, otherwise they will stay in the yang world and become lonely ghosts.

At the same time, the entire lunar calendar in July is also the heaviest month of the year, the number of wandering spirits increases, and you can't cry or whistle at night, otherwise it is easy to cause white ghosts.

Children born on Halloween are called ghost boys, that is, children born on Halloween are turned into wandering ghosts.

It is said that people with heavy yin qi are prone to qi deficiency, are prone to chills, have cold limbs, and can easily attract evil spirits.

Therefore, the fate of people born on Halloween is as follows,

Fifteenth.

On this day, Shen Ren and his wife, respect their children and grandchildren, fight and fight, persecute the past, and after the third or fifth day, the wind comes to celebrate.

When a man leaves his family and develops a woman, he will be matched and will be safe.

It is said that friends born in the middle of the year will see some unclean things, some say that the fate of people born in the middle of the year will be more bumpy, and some say that most of the people born around Halloween are related to Jizo Bodhisattva.

And the childlike heart, their identity is a Taoist priest.

That's right!

It's still the kind of high-strength Dharma Protector Taoist.

In order to protect the safety of the people, in order to protect the safety of the people, the ancient dragon kingdom specially arranged Taoist priests to give each household a practice to avoid more wandering ghosts from appearing in the world.

The most important thing is not this.

Rather, the game of death truly endowed them with the ability of Taoism, and their abilities came from the ancient gods of the Dragon Kingdom.

It is said that in ancient times, before civilization, the human race drank blood like hair, dressed night and day, and was often attacked by wild beasts.

At this time, there was a sage named Li Qing who taught the people to build tombs for the dynasty and founded the Kingdom of Chaoshen, which was later known as the Dragon Kingdom.

Since then, the human race has entered the period of pilgrimage.

Tens of thousands of years later, the power of the gods appeared to fight the emperor, and the human race entered a new era.

In thousands of years, several Dao masters founded the Dragon Kingdom, and the Three Daoists ruled, and the human race entered the Dao God Period.

The Three Daoists and the Three Ancient Divine Kingdoms, together with other Shi clans, established the rudimentary clan alliance of the later countries, and designated the human race of the Dragon Kingdom as the god clan in the name of Li Qing, which was the regime of the Three Daoists.

The Three Daoists became the co-masters of the human race, known as the Dao Emperor, and then the Heavenly God Bing Xuannu took over the position of the Dao Emperor, and later generations crusaded against the demons and declined.

Then the Tao was lonely.

After the Demon War, it was all over the wilderness, and over time, a country where all ghosts gathered was formed in the western land, which was a ghost country, also known as the ghost party, and its country name was called the ghost clan.

It is recorded in the Mountains and Seas through the North Classic of the Sea that your country is sad in the loss of the second father, and only the face of the wicked is lost, and your country is vicious and ruthless.

Since the Three Paths, the war between the Dragon Kingdom and the Ghost Kingdom has not stopped, but the more wars, the more people will be killed and wounded.

The strength of the ghost country is getting stronger and stronger.

Faced with such a difficult situation.

Taishang Daojun, who served as one of the three realms, is now a god, with compassion and curtains, refining the golden pill, being created by heaven, separating the monkey, and leading everyone to take the ghost out of the netherworld, in view of the land of the dragon road in the world, establish a ghost city, and open up a ghost city and an underworld. Chinese Net

Since ancient times, the land of the dragon road is a depression, and the capital city gathers the nobles in this way, and its role is to serve as a transit base between the world and the dead, and the ghost gate pass that everyone in the world is said to be located here.

At the same time, the successive Dao Emperors took the mission of exterminating the ghost side as their mission, and gradually descended to the southwest, which was expelled to the capital of Guang no Ye, that is, the Dragon Dao Ghost Fang merged with the eight tribes around the local ghost mountain, and established another country, which was regarded as the Seven Kingdoms.

The capital of the Seven Kingdoms is the capital, and so far, they are all called the Seven Sons Bedu. The capital is divided into two parts, yin and yang, with the ghost gate pass as the boundary, and the ghost gate pass outside the yang world, which is the ghost city that is important in the world.

The pass is the underworld, and the first thing to bear the brunt of is a mountain, two or six miles high.

The 30,000-mile Netherworld Mountain is the Ghost Peak Mountain, and if it is only calculated in terms of direction, the ghost town is located on the Ghost Peak Mountain.

However, although it is located in the underworld, Ghost Peak Mountain belongs to the blessed land of the cave.

The so-called Cave Heaven Blessed Land is the location of time and space independent of the Three Realms, and the inner stones and spaces are all self-contained, and there is no Cave Heaven.

This Ghost Peak Mountain is the lock-making dojo of the capital.

There are six heavenly palaces on the mountain, each heavenly palace is 1000 miles around, there is a heavenly monarch, and there are hundreds of immortal officials, divine monarchs, messengers, and spiritual officials, and they have jurisdiction over 240 dark rooms in Fengdu Prefecture.

And there were twenty-four hells in the mountains, and twenty-four judges were in charge.

Since then, the gathering of the ghost kingdom, the role of the ghosts has been infinitely weakened by the capital.

After the death of a person, they must be escorted to the ghost city by the land city god, and the 240 divisions of the six heavenly palaces and twenty-four hells under the command of Monkey King will hear the verdict.

When the dead are handed over to the Netherworld by the Ghost Gate, the vain death is temporarily shelved in the Vain Death City next to the Ghost Gate.

There are a lot of ghosts in the dead city, and the backlog is long, and they can't be reborn for a long time.

Therefore, in ancient times, people had to buy a hidden copy first for the sake of deep things.

This hidden is unusual, the full name is hidden, it is a pass with a length of three feet and a width of two feet.

After mortals die, if they want to reincarnate in the netherworld, they must hold the passport issued by this ghost town.

After passing the ghost inspection of the ghost gate, you can enter the netherworld.

In this way, even if you are betrayed into the city of vain death after death, you can be reborn early.

Therefore, over time, an industrial chain of selling passes has gradually formed around the ghost town, commonly known as the ghost market.

The ghost market is full of charm, and there is no etiquette at all, unlike the capital, which has thousands of magical governance, and ordinary people have no way to enter.

So a special kind of talent came into being.

Most of these talents are well-versed in witchcraft, and they often peddle various goods such as Fengduying in the ghost market to earn benefits.

At the time of the Later Dynasty, Zhang Tianshi was awarded the title of Heavenly Master by Taishang Daojun, and founded the Heavenly Master Dao in the ghost city of Longzhong.

The Heavenly Master Dao is a combination of primitive witchcraft, ghost cults, and immortal techniques.

If you become the master of it, you will be able to obtain the power of the Dao God.

Soon, the Heavenly Masters of the Witch Dao in the Dragon subdued demons and subdued demons, eliminated ghosts and exorcised evil spirits, and established great authority in the ghost market.

After Zhang Tianshi ascended into the immortal realm.

He was succeeded by his son Zhang Heng.

The position of the Heavenly Master, becoming the second generation of Heavenly Master.

Zhang Heng went one step further and set up a Heavenly Master Governance Office on Guifeng Mountain.

It just so happened that at that time, the Emperor Du had been established for 3,000 years since the inauguration of the three great courtiers, and it was time for a rotation.

Therefore, under the strategy of Zhang Tianshi, the Heavenly Realm decreed that Zhang Heng was the second ghost city emperor with a term of office of 3,000 years.

After that, under the leadership of Zhang Heng, the ghost city and the underworld gradually got rid of the influence of the ancient three realms and switched to the power camp of the immortal path.

And with the Buddha's Yin Cao Difu, the immortal Dao Taishan Difu to form a three-legged situation.

The three major underworlds jointly rule the Netherworld and are in charge of the life and death of all spirits in the human world.

The five players who went here were the strongest mages in the Heavenly Master Dao.

Likewise, they are also the managers of ghost towns......

The Heavenly Master, the Ghost City, the Three Paths, the Immortal World, the Yuan Fetus, the Monkey King, and the ancestor of the Dragon Kingdom, Li Qing, seem to be telling Tong Xin that he is getting closer and closer to the truth of the death game.
