Chapter 667: The Might of the Realm (2)

The animal worship in the Hundred Beasts and Demon Domains of the Lingyun Continent is mainly reflected in the worship of the "Five Great Families", which is a kind of worship of the demon immortals, which also originates from the idea of animism. The five families are also called the "Five Great Immortals", including the fox fairy (fox), the yellow fairy (weasel), the white fairy (hedgehog), the willow fairy (snake), the gray fairy (mouse), and the folk commonly known as "fox yellow white willow gray" (or "gray yellow fox white willow").

The monks generally believed that the five families were long-term companions of human beings, belonging to the supernatural spirits of both demons and immortals, and that if they violated them and caused them to be damaged, they could take revenge on mankind with witchcraft, causing mankind to be punished with varying degrees of calamity, and if people worshiped them, they would be blessed.

Therefore, many large families worship the Five Great Families. There are two ways to worship: one is to offer the statue of the whole god next to the Buddha hall and the ancestral hall at home, and the statue of the whole god includes nine gods, namely the God of Wealth, Fu, Lu, Shou and the five masters, arranged in three rows. The image of the five families is a portrait, kind eyebrows and kind eyes, except for the white fairy who is attached to the image of the white old lady woman, the other four are male portraits, wearing official uniforms, with warm hats, the color is gray blue or stone blue, etc. The white fairy wears a skirt, the phoenix crown is very beautiful, and another way to worship is to build a fairy house in the corner of the courtyard to enshrine the tablets of the five families.

Xianjialou is a wooden model of a temple more than three feet wide and two feet high. The workmanship is almost the same as that of a real temple, with ridges, overflow corridors, etc., and four doors in front. The tablets of the five great families are offered inside, and the offerings are also placed in the Xianjia Building. People make a wooden tray under the Xianjia Building, about half a foot high, dig a round hole at the junction of the upper part of the support and the Xianjia Building, and also dig a round hole on the side of the support, the purpose is to facilitate the five families to enjoy the food offerings, and it is convenient to enter and exit.

In the worship of the five major families, the fox fairy, the yellow fairy and the white fairy are more in awe, and there are many legends about their miracles, and they are attached to the third master of Hu, the second master of Huang, and the old lady Bai.

The fox fairy is the fox Since ancient times, there has been a legend and inheritance of the nine-tailed white fox. For foxes to have spirituality, can be a demon, can also become an immortal. They are proficient in channel art, can repay virtue, can take revenge, fall in love with people, and can also play tricks on people. At the same time, it can also heal people's pain.

Many shamans often say that they are possessed by fox fairies when they perform witchcraft activities, and give orders to patients and answer questions in the name of fox fairies. There is a temple of the third prince in the Lingyun Continent, and there is also a statue of the third master Hu in the Tianhou Palace, and there are often believers who go to worship in the incense. People also give the fox a sensitive, witty and lovely character, and like to imagine it as a kind, amorous and romantic woman, and the "fox spirit" in folklore or literati is mostly a wonderful amorous girl. Of course, there are also those who disparage vixens as undecent women who seduce men.

Huang Xian, that is, weasel, is called Huang Er, and his statue is offered in the Tianhou Temple. It is worshipped for two reasons. One is that it is as beautiful as a fox and has a cunning temperament, which makes people feel mysterious, and another important reason is that it can influence the spiritual world of people, and it is related to a mental disease. This disorder of mental confusion is called hysteria, commonly known as Zhuangke.

It is believed that hysteria occurs once a weasel is possessed, and most of them are women or depressed. At the onset of this disease, he cried and cried, even rapped, and told some mysterious things or injustices in his life. Some of them also sing some beautiful verses. People with hysteria do not know their family and relatives at the time of onset, and the tone of speech is different from that of Hershey. It is also said that there is a rolling ball under the skin of the patient, and that the possessed weasel can be killed by pricking it with a needle, and that it can be treated by pricking the patient with a needle. There is also a peculiar phenomenon, legend has it that as soon as a doctor, wizard or person who has beaten a weasel coughs outside the door, the seizure immediately stops, just like a normal person. Although this hysteria does not leave sequelae, it is difficult to completely cure and is prone to multiple episodes. The white fairy, that is, the hedgehog, the worship of the white fairy, the saying is different, most people regard it as a mascot for wealth and disease prevention, and the white old lady in folklore is a god evolved by the hedgehog, mainly for people to cure diseases, and is proficient in witchcraft. The statue of the old lady Bai was once enshrined in the Tianhou Temple. Destroyed in ancient times, remodeled tens of thousands of years ago, the legend is even more bizarre.

The snake fairy, the worship of the snake fairy also comes from ancient times, and legend has it that Fuxi and Nuwa are both gods with human heads and snake bodies. Snakes are often considered to be the embodiment of dragons, hence the nicknames of small dragons. It is believed that the snake has an aura, its shape is strange, it can lurk and mutt, and its actions are mysterious and sensitive, its mana is greater than that of a fox, it can also form a human form, and it has the spell of a thousand miles of objects.

The rat fairy worshipped the rat because it was nocturnal and moved in the dark, making its traces unpredictable, so it was believed to have a high level of wisdom and was deified. Others regard it as a warehouse god, while others believe that the rat can predict the future, can tell fortunes, and can also make people rich, so they regard it as the god of wealth, hoping that it will bring treasure to the master's house in the dark.

Taoism inherited the spells of the primitive witchcraft, purified and Taoistized them, and became Taoist spells. The basic principle of sorcery, called sympathetic witchcraft, is based on the law of similarity or symbolism, which holds that anything similar or symbolic can affect each other in the dark. Therefore, the principle of the same kind of rule is to use the Taoist magic weapon to cure evil with evil, and to restrain supernatural spirits, objects and other evil things through supernatural magic power.

The theory of the unity of man and nature is still the most advanced and scientific. Heaven and earth are a big universe, and the human body is a small universe. The balance of yin and yang between heaven and earth can regulate the wind and rain, and the balance of yin and yang in the human body can prolong the body. The balance between heaven, earth and man, yin and yang, this is the realm pursued by the ancients. Yin and Yang here are not a specific reference, where all kinds of contradictions, balance is the unity of contradictions. Therefore, all beasts and immortals are honored with the ability to transform into human form, because human beings are the spirits of all things, and there are also eight meridians and twelve meridians in the human body to form a complete meridian universe diagram.

The Ten Realms, also known as the Ten Dharma Realms or the Ten Realms as Fruits, is a Buddhist term that divides Buddhas and sentient beings into ten categories. The Ten Worlds are: Hell, Hungry Ghosts, Beasts, Asuras, Humans, Heavens, Shravakas, Enlightenment, Bodhisattvas, and Buddhas. The first six items are called the Six Mortals, and the last four items are called the Four Saints, collectively known as the Six Mortals and the Four Saints.

In this context, the hell realm refers to the underground prison of eight cold and eight heats, in which those who commit the five rebellions and ten evils of the highest grade are born and suffer infinitely. The animal realm refers to the four-legged creatures that are clothed in fur, horned armor, feathers, and multi-legged, and the five rebellious and ten evil people who are born in it, devour each other, and suffer endlessly. The realm of hungry ghosts is five hundred years underground, and the five rebellious and ten evil people who create the next product are born in it, and they are not allowed to eat or drink, and they suffer endlessly.

The Shura Realm is known as the Asura Realm, located at the bottom of the Great Sea, and those who have suspicion and jealousy are born in it and cultivate the ten good qualities of the lower grades, and often struggle with the heavens and are distressed and persecuted. The human world is in the four continents of Sumeru, holding the five precepts, and those who have the ten virtues of cultivation are born in it, often greedy for themselves and in love with their dependents, and bitterness and happiness are intertwined. The heavenly realm is the place of retribution for those who cultivate the ten virtues and also practice meditation, and there is a difference between the three realms and the twenty-eight heavens; although this is a wonderful retribution, but the blessings are exhausted, and it cannot avoid the five decays of heaven and man. The above are collectively referred to as the Six Paths.

The realm of shravaka is the realm of Hinayana realm, and those who belong to this realm hear the sound teachings of the Buddha and the Dharma of the Four Noble Truths and prove emptiness, and finally enter nirvana and destroy their wisdom in ashes. The realm of dependent consciousness is also the realm of Hinayana realm, and those who belong to this realm view the 12 causes and conditions to prove emptiness, and then they also enter nirvana with no restless happiness. The bodhisattva realm is the realm of Mahayana, and those who belong to this realm make four vows and practice the six degrees in order to become a Buddha. The Buddha realm is the ultimate realm of Mahayana, which is achieved by action and the ultimate position of the perfection of the two virtues.

Ghost immortals are also known as spirit ghosts, ghosts and immortals, and one of the five immortals. The yin is detached, the gods and images are unknown, the ghosts have no surname, and the three mountains have no name. Although it is not reincarnated, it is difficult to return to Pengying. In the end, there is no return, just reincarnation. It is one of the five immortals of Taoism, which is divided into five levels: ghost immortals, human immortals, earth immortals, gods and heavenly immortals

Divine Realm: Immortal cultivators, demon cultivators, demon cultivators, ghost cultivators and Shura clans in the domain above the divine realm!

Human Realm: The human realm is the origin of all things, the beginning of chaotic beings, the source of the Seven Realms, the place where Tianzun was born, and the beginning of the Tao!

Immortal Realm: Ascended by cultivators to the land of gathering!

Demon Realm: This is the elves between heaven and earth, psychic beasts, and the place where they practice!

Ghost Realm: It is also the home of all the ghosts in the Seven Realms.

Demon Realm: The underworld here is very heavy, and refining becomes a demon,

The three rooms are the three rooms of heaven, man, and domain

The heavens are divided into: the Nine Heavens Void Realm, the Cloud Heaven Law Realm, and the Heavenly Rain Capital.

The human world is the human world.

The domain is divided into: Ghost Domain, Demon Domain, and Beast Demon Domain

Hundred Beasts and Demon Domain: Beasts, plants, and trees can become demons by cultivating, and they survive on the surface of the earth, the ghost world, the fairy world, and the demon world. In fact, the real demon world seems to be hidden in the holy mountain!

The ignorant beasts and plants and trees have been transformed into demons due to a flash of inspiration or accidental chance, and they can be evil and righteous like humans, and those who have gone through the three tribulations of heaven, earth and man have turned into human form, and they may be able to achieve positive results if they are tested. However, because it is always an outlier, it is not easy to be accepted by the original kind, nor is it a person, and the result of being kind to others is always tragic, so it is an enemy of people and will experience extraordinary pain, so there is Shushan, there is a lock demon tower, and there is the legend of the fox spirit flower demon that is indestructible in the mouth of ordinary people.

A race with abundant demon energy and strong combat effectiveness.

There is no order between demons and demons, and there are few groups. Although they are in the same place with others, there are few examples of people who can get along with them. On the contrary, because communication hinders old hatreds, it is incompatible with others. Demons with simple ideas know that there is revenge and revenge, and they want to repay it. Although he is aggressive, he can't fight the collective efforts of the human immortal cultivators. There are those who have been killed, those who have been thrown into the Demon Lock Tower, and those who are still waiting for an opportunity to take revenge in the world. The sacred mountain seems to have become a place where demons live.

Gu is a mysterious witchcraft passed down in ancient times, and only circulated among Miao women, the world is not passed on to women, and other ethnic groups have not, even if it is similar, but it is far from being comparable with this thing. It has long been used by the ancestors of the three seedlings for the love oath, and the two are right, also known as the love Gu. In case of betrayal, one party commits suicide, and the Gu flies out of its body, causing the other emotion to fly out of the Gu broken body, causing it to die of great pain after seven days.

Later, a foreign man entered Miao Xinjiang, saw that the Miao girl was amorous, so he lived down, and after two or three months, he left under the pretext of leaving, and did not return for a long time.
