Chapter 267: The so-called "evil sect" in "Xuanmen Taoism"
Last time, I said that the baby and her mother were forcibly arranged by the "Kunlun Secret Realm Spirit" to challenge the masters of the "Maoshan faction" and the "Lushan faction", so they had to humbly ask for advice.
"Lushan", the legend is at the bottom of the Minjiang River, but mortals can't see it, only the Taoist priests who are proficient in the "Lushan Dharma" and the Taoist who are profound, and the people with good hearts who "have the fate" can see it. This shows that the mountain gate of the "Lushan Sect" is protected by the "magic circle enchantment", and non-"fellow Daoists" can only enter after being allowed to enter, otherwise it will be considered an invasion.
"Lushan School", also known as "Lushan Road", "Lushan Sect", etc., first originated from the "Xu Xun Faith" of the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, and belonged to the primitive religion of the hometown of Minyue.
Later, the "Lushan School" continued to absorb and integrate the religious forms of the "Jingming Dao" and "Lingbao School" in the Taoist faction, and gradually formed a faction with Fujian as the center and developed outward, which was an important school of Taoism in China, and was called the "Hejian School" in some fantasy novels in the mortal world in later generations.
The early "Xu Xun faith" was actually the "Minyue Witch Law" in the "Jiangnan Witch System", which worshiped the so-called "gods" such as "Lushan Jiulang", "Linshui Three Ladies" (Chen Jinggu, Lin Jiuniang, Li Sanniang), and Zhang Miniang. The "Lushan School" teaching form still retains many of the characteristics of primitive witchcraft in the hometown of Minyue.
The "Lushan School" and the "Jingming Loyalty and Filial Piety" believe in the same "gods", and both Taoist schools respect "Xu Zhenjun" (Xu Xun) as the "ancestor". The only difference is that "loyalty and filial piety" is based on morality and ethics and belongs to "Confucianism"; The "Lushan School" is mainly based on charms and spells, and belongs to the "evil way".
The "Lushan School" Taoist priests are scattered Taoist priests, and each Taoist priest has his own "altar". The origin of the name "Dharma Altar" is divided into two kinds: one is the "Dharma Altar" of the "hereditary system", such as "Tianwei Dharma Altar", "Welling Dharma Altar", "Tongying Dharma Altar" and so on. The other is the "self-legal altar", that is, the apprenticeship is complete, and the "altar number" is sealed through the "transmission ceremony", and the "Dharma altar" is set up independently. The Taoist priests of the "Lushan School" are divided into "red-headed mages" and "black-headed mages", and in some places they are also called "aconite mages".
The "red-headed mage" mainly worships the three goddesses such as the "Lady Linshui" as the ancestor, and uses the red turban as a mark, called the "Three Milk Sect", also known as the "red-headed mage". The "red-headed mage" mainly takes auspicious rituals such as exorcism and evil spirits, disaster and misfortune as the daily activities.
The "black-headed mage", that is, the "black-haired master", takes the ritual of transcending the dead as the main activity content, mainly worships the "Dharma Master", and uses the black turban as the symbol of the faction, and is known for funeral rituals and exorcising evil spirits, etc., and is known as the "Dharma Master Gong faction" among the people.
In addition, the "Lushan School" also has a full-time small method, which is dedicated to the Buddhist "Linji Sect High Monk Pu'an", so it is also called the "Pu'an School".
The situation of the "legal uniform" of the "Lushan Sect" Taoist altar is very special. The most prominent feature of the "Dharma Dress" (Dharma Robe) is that the head is tied with a "Dharma scarf", that is, "red cloth", which can also be draped on the back of the neck, and the "god forehead" (leather or god forehead), the upper body wears a green jacket (or plain clothes), the lower body wears a long skirt or short skirt (purple skirt, red or blue), and the feet are tied or straw shoes and cloth shoes, which is a kind of witch attire.
In the "Lushan School", male mages mostly do not wear shoes, but appear as "wizards", and only female mages can wear shoes. In contrast, the "martial arts teacher" of the "Pu'an Sect", which is its full-time Xiaofa school, is accustomed to wearing opera vests and battle skirts, rather than monks' robes and robes.
The spells of the "Lushan faction" are usually based on tough and domineering spells, and in the spirit of fighting the law, it is either you die or I die, in principle, whether it is for demons, ghosts or fellow opponents, it is a very lethal mode, and its toughness is more than that of the "Maoshan faction".
Judging from the way the "Lushan faction" practiced the law, almost all of the "tricks" and "spells" used were aggressive, and the "gangbu" they took also reflected the domineering methods of the "Lushan faction". The domineering methods of the "Lushan faction", such as: go up the knife mountain, go down to the sea of fire, and climb the cloud tower (with three, five, seven, nine, or even more eight immortal tables, without any reinforcement, and the Taoist priest dances on the top floor, and performs the Gangbu method. ), oil pot, etc., are unique to the "Lushan School".
The "Lushan Dharma" has a long history, which can be traced back to the "Primitive Witch Cult", and every "Lushan Mage" with an "official position" has "Portable Soldiers and Horses" and "Zhentan Soldiers and Horses". These so-called "Terracotta Mages" can be summoned by themselves, or they can be given by the master, and of course, they can also ask the "Tiancao Division" to allocate troops.
"Lushan Soldiers and Horses" can be divided into three types: "Heavenly Immortal Soldiers and Horses", "Earth Immortal Soldiers and Horses", and "Human Immortal Soldiers and Horses". "Lushan" can control the soldiers and horses of the Three Realms in terms of function, so it is called "the soldiers and horses of the five battalions of the Three Realms". There is a inheritance of the "Lushan Altar", and there are also several other battalions of soldiers and horses, but it involves sect secrets and cannot be publicly disclosed.
When "Master Lushan" is "practicing the Dharma and doing Jiao", depending on different things, he will send different "soldiers and horses" to help the "Master practice the Dharma" to ensure that the "Dharma is comprehensive" and follow-up protection. In some places, it is called "snake and ghost fasting", that is, the practice of "ghost priests" (mages) burning incense and burning paper, pinching and reciting mantras.
"Tianxian Soldiers and Horses", as the name suggests, is from the "Soldiers and Horses" allocated by the "Tiancao Academy", that is, "Fu Soldiers" and "Paper Horses", which can be obtained through the "Lushan Performance"; "Earth Immortal Soldiers and Horses", also known as "Spirit Soldiers and Horses" and "Netherworld Soldiers and Horses", that is, the common means used by "ghost masters" (mages) to recruit ghosts and resist ghosts.
The "Yin Soldier" is easy to summon and vulnerable, easy to act as cannon fodder, as long as a cultivator (cultivator) with a little ability (mana) can be summoned if he does a certain "ritual" (ritual) at night. This is similar to the "Yin-Yang Dao", "Yin-Yang Liao", "Ninja" or "Hermit" in the cultivation realm of the Oriental Island Country, which controls the "Shikami".
However, there is a risk in summoning the "Yin Soldier", if you summon the "little ghost", it is easy to do, but if you summon the "ghost king", and your own cultivation is not enough and you can't control it, there will be a serious backlash: there will be problems in all aspects such as body, complexion, health, fortune, etc., and if the offering is improper, the problem will be even more serious.
"Human Immortal Soldiers and Horses" are the soldiers and horses handed down from the "altar system", including the "soldiers and horses" given by the master. There is also a rampant soldier that can also be counted as a soldier in the spirit world.
There are at least 33 categories of known "rampant soldiers", including elves (spirits, monsters) that are bred by the convergence of mountains and rivers and aura, and spirits that have not taken the wrong path and achieved positive results. These "rampant soldiers" may not have been sealed into the rune paper by soul refining like the "Shikami", but were summoned temporarily.
The "rampant soldiers" mentioned in Taoism are the "assistants" such as demons, ghosts, and elves recruited by some Taoist priests, who are willing to practice Taoism with Taoist priests after being surrendered.
The soldiers and horses of the three realms of heaven, earth, and man are not separate systems, and they can be subdivided according to their functions. For example, when practicing the law, there are those who attack cities, sweep away demons, detect things, scout the terrain, and so on. This division of functions is very similar to the military institutions in ancient China, so it is called "soldiers and horses".
At the beginning of the year, the "Lushan Dharma Altar" will hold a "collection section", that is, let the "soldiers return to the camp" and arrange the camp. In addition, at the end of the year, it is necessary to carry out the "year-round section", that is, "reward the soldiers and generals", reward the three armies and five battalions, and give the soldiers and horses a holiday. In fact, this is very similar to the "Fuso Shinto" disciples who "sacrifice" the "Shikijin" and worship it as a "worship god".
Every year, at the end of the official business, in order to thank the "soldiers and horses of the Three Realms" who have worked hard for a year, the "gods", "protectors", "mystical masters", and the "ancestors" on the altar must express themselves. At the end of the year, the "Master Lushan" will use different "rituals" and "spells" to "reward the soldiers" and distribute "military expenses" (incense burning) to the soldiers and horses.
Regarding the "reward" of "soldiers and horses", due to the different customs in different places, the tribute is also different. There are "rice", there are also "forage", as well as the most common fruits, cakes, flowers, pearls, etc., but the most important thing is to prepare "armor horses", that is, special "rune paper", which is the collective name of "armor soldiers" and "horses".
However, the "armor horse" is not an actual thing, but only a special "paper-cut" or simply a "rune paper". According to the "Qing Barnyard Banknotes and Articles", "Jiama", also called "paper horse", is a kind of "paper" painted with "god statues" and used to worship gods, also known as "paper horse" or "Jiama paper", similar to "paper money".
At the end of the year, the "soldiers and horses" who took the "military salaries" distributed by the "military camp" went to visit their relatives who were still alive, and some went back to the "heavenly court" to visit friends, or traveled around to enhance their cultivation. This is equivalent to the "fellow practitioners" of other sects or the "loose cultivators" of some families who can cultivate their own "spiritual pets".
The "Lushan School" monks often recite the mantra when doing "rituals" (rituals): "Excerpts are" This wine is turned into the sea of the Yangjiang River, this fruit is turned into Mount Meru, this meat is turned into Yangzhou City, and vegetables are turned into stacked like plates...... Money is turned into seven big money mountains, military rations are turned into 10 million quintals, and horse feed is turned into 10 million stones......"
