305 The Rotten Face of Zhong Kui (3)
Following my eyes, Liu Asheng sent the candle forward.
When I looked up, I saw a large gray shadow like stains on the wall behind the door, which was less than two feet wide.
"I'm going, I'm really brave enough to be worshipped!"
While I was frightened, I was about to climb up the long table when I stepped on my legs.
Liu Asheng hurriedly said, "Will you offend the gods like this?"
I said, why don’t you squat down and I will step on your shoulder?
Some words can be explained later, but when you go to the temple to worship gods, you must first find out which gods are worshipped.
I turned over the long case and asked Liu Asheng to hand me the candle.
As the light got closer, I could see clearly that it was not a stain, but a place surrounded by evil fog and evil spirits.
I pursed my lips hard, stood up straight and took a small step forward, while the candle was raised up.
The candlelight finally penetrated the blinding fog, and as soon as I saw the situation clearly, I suddenly widened my eyes.
This is indeed a niche that is recessed into the wall, but it is not a clay statue of a god, but a paper man less than a foot tall!
The paper man wore a square crown on his head, a green robe, and a ring-eyed and curly temple. Although he was not that delicate, his expression was very majestic.
This is not an ordinary god, monster, immortal family, it is clearly the King of Hell in the underworld!
There are not only those who worship the King of Hell in the world of the world, but there are only a few temples with the "Ten Kings Halls".
This is not difficult to understand.
Worship the Bodhisattva for health, worship the God of Wealth for wealth, and what should we ask the King of Hell?
As the saying goes, the King of Hell wants people to die in the third update and never leave them until the fifth update. Living people worship the King of Hell for longevity?
How can the fate of the person in the Book of Life and Death be changed by just a prayer?
It is even more difficult to understand that the treasure trove is dedicated to the King of Hell in the Bafeng Temple.
It was a business that was a disparate family and lost virtue. He was gambled under the nose of the King of Hell. Wasn’t that waiting for the next life to reincarnate into the animal realm?
I really couldn't understand the meaning of this offering. I wanted to go down first. When I turned my face, I accidentally saw that there seemed to be something under the niche.
I turned around again, lowered the candle, and came forward to watch.
It was actually another niche. The black gas at the bottom was thicker, so I didn't notice it as soon as possible.
This niche located below is smaller. The one worshipped inside is not a paper man, but a gilded statue that looks very glamorous.
He is also a leopard head and a ring-eyed figure, dressed in a red robe. Compared to the image of the King of Hell, he is more ferocious.
The strangest thing is that a piece of the forehead of the statue has been concave!
I was thinking about it all the time and suddenly I smelled a burnt smell.
Liu Asheng below said anxiously: "What did you lit up?"
When I looked up, I realized that because I was too focused on the sculpture below just now, I accidentally ignited the paper king of Hell in the niche above!
The paper man didn't know how long he had been here, and the texture had become thin and crispy. The fire leader came together and almost burned out before I could react.
I thought to myself, "It's OK. I actually ordered the King of Hell. If I really meet one day, he will ask about this. Will my apology work?"
Seeing that the paper king of Hell was burned to ashes, he no longer had any more trouble.
After jumping off the long case, Liu Asheng asked me again what was on it? Why did the fire catch on the wall for no reason?
I said that the above is the "yetai" worshipped in the Bafeng Temple. The one I ordered was the paper-made King of Hell.
Liu Asheng also looked puzzled, "Where is there a treasure bureau that offers the King of Hell?"
"Of course, the treasure bureau will not offer the King of Hell. There are two niches above and below. The King of Hell is built with paper on the upper part, and the one in the lower part is the main niche."
At this time, I had some clues in my heart, and asked Liu Asheng not to say more, I would like to verify some details before discussing it.
Of course, my desk was not touched at all, but the big belly incense burner did not move at all.
I put the wax head to the bottom of the incense burner, looked carefully, and finally I fully realized my thoughts.
Liu Asheng also came over and after seeing it, he whispered: "The three feet of the incense burner seem to be the image of three little ghosts."
"It doesn't seem like, it's just three little kids."
If only Xu Bichan’s memory was left, I would not have figured out the situation in such a short time.
Fortunately, in addition to Xu Bichan, there is also a blind man who followed his master to travel around the world when he was a teenager, knowledgeable, and usually likes to show off.
Xu Bichan was unruly in the early days and was a regular visitor to the Baoju; Liu Xiaozi was a powerful feng shui situation.
Based on the information obtained from both, I have already determined that the Fengyuan treasure name is used for the town bureau - Zhong Kui!
Liu Asheng looked suspicious and said that it was unreasonable to offer sacrifices to the King of Hell in the casino, but it was not right to worship Zhong Kui?
It is true that I said it was Zhong Kui, but don’t ignore the word “rotten noodles”.
Legend has it that during the Wude period of the Tang Dynasty, Zhong Kui, a native of Zhongnan, went to Beijing to take the exam, but after high school, he was angry and hit the palace stairs because of his ugly appearance. When the emperor heard about it, he gave him a red robe to be buried. During the Tianbao period, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, Li Longji, was entangled in the dream of Mount Li, and was sick. An ugly monster, the big man from the red robe came and caught the troubled ghost and opened his mouth to swallow it. After waking up from the dream, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang recovered and ordered Wu Daozi to draw "Zhong Kui's Ghost Catching" according to the scene in his dream, and hung it in the palace to ward off evil spirits and suppress demons.
This is the origin of the Holy Lord Zhong Kui.
However, the Holy Lord Zhong Kui was also a mortal before, and he also had greed, anger, love and desire. Because he was ugly, he was forced to death, and his resentment was even deeper.
But the palace was protected by Ziwei, so Zhong Kui was killed in the palace, and his soul that condensed his resentment was expelled from the court.
Because he was buried with the red robe given by the emperor, the later Holy Lord Zhong Kui was found.
But the soul and spirit that were expelled were separated from the Holy Lord from then on. Due to deep resentment and unable to stop, he maintained the appearance of a broken head and face when he died. Moreover, because he was originally a saint and had the same cultivation level, he later had the evil spirit of the Holy Lord, the rotten face Zhong Kui.
Although Liu Asheng was old, he was like a mountain. He was stunned when he heard it and asked me if I was talking nonsense.
I say that the legend is true or false cannot be verified, but facts are better than words.
The one worshipped in this Bafeng Temple is Zhong Kui.
Also, the Holy Lord Zhong Kui later subdued the five ghosts, but the rotten face Zhong Kui only accepted three little ghosts.
The three feet of the incense burner are the image of three little ghosts, which is another symbol of the rotten face Zhong Kui.
I said that only by deeming that it is a rotten Zhong Kui, the paper King of Hell in the niche above can make sense.
Zhong Kui is an evil god and evil spirit. It is true that he can make money by offering sacrifices, but if he is vicious and opens up, the worshipper will suffer the consequences.
The paper-made Hell has the shape and shape of the Hell, but it does not have the true spirit of the Hell.
Put it on it in order to shock the rotten face Zhong Kui with the momentum of the King of Hell.
Liu Asheng asked: "You burned the Paper Hell with fire, won't the evil god be suppressed?"
