Chapter 20: Have You Been to the Yin Temple?(1/2)
When we arrived at the entrance of the village, we were still familiar with the poker room, and the same familiar face came over to us.
"You are a good man, and a good man is here." The village guard started running around telling each other, which made me feel helpless.
Following Dalei, we walked slowly on the road and soon arrived home. Uncle Zhang greeted us at the door early, and many relatives came to the house.
"Hey, you guys are back. Come in quickly and have a drink of water. We'll have dinner later. You haven't slept well this night, okay?"
"My dad, this night was really thrilling. We met,,,, ah, why did you hit me?"
I originally wanted to remind Da Lei to stop talking, but I didn't expect that he would be too harsh.
"Ah hey, uncle, we didn't sleep much all night, nothing happened and we came back safely."
Uncle Zhang guessed that something was wrong when he saw the two of us like this, so he didn't ask any more questions, just invited us to drink water, and then sat down to prepare for the meal. I was considered their guest and sat at the main table. Everyone was laughing and joking.
Everyone started to sit down.
"Hey, Da Lei, I heard that the train you took back was not peaceful. Is it true? I heard today that someone saved everyone on the train."
"Ah, right, I don't know."
In fact, they all knew that this person was probably me, because we were the only two who took the bus back, and started eating without asking any questions. This time, Uncle Zhang specifically called Dalei to ask us to come back.
I didn’t say anything about it, I just said it was going to be lively and lively.
"Yutian, tomorrow is Grandma Lei's anniversary. Do you think you can arrange it appropriately?"
"Ah, uncle, it doesn't really matter. My family will burn paper and I will talk about it. It's nothing special."
"Okay, then I'll follow your arrangements."
While we were eating and chatting, someone at the door hurriedly ran over and said something in Uncle Zhang’s ear. I saw that Uncle Zhang didn’t look very good, so he put down his chopsticks and was about to go out. Uncle Zhang looked at me and didn’t say anything.
, but I understand in my heart.
"Uncle Zhang, wait for me and I will go with you."
Seeing that Uncle Zhang's eyes were a little moist, I understood that something was wrong, otherwise he wouldn't have called us. Uncle Zhang walked forward, followed by Dalei who was also puzzled. After passing through Qiancun, he came to an alley and turned.
When we got in, it was a little dark here, so I was a little worried, so I lit incense at the intersection and let everyone continue walking. When I walked to a house, I stopped. I looked at it, it was quite impressive, with a big red wooden door and two animal faces.
The ring, this is a jiao picture and a different jiao picture. It is the ninth son of the nine sons of the dragon. It has wavy hair and decorative patterns, which makes people think it is a very novel creature. Legend has it that it is a typical otaku with a gentle temperament.
They like to be secluded, and can ward off evil spirits and ward off disasters, so most of the houses that people have seen are decorated with pepper pictures, and they are also illuminated. There are two stone lions on both sides. The lions are also called Suanni, and they are the dragon and the nine.
One of them is one of the ancient mythical beasts together with Qilin, Pixiu, etc. The ancients believed that placing mythical beasts on both sides of the door can ward off evil spirits and eliminate disasters, protect the house and protect the courtyard. This gatehouse is tall and majestic, but this gatehouse
There is a Bagua mirror above. The Bagua mirror is a common magical tool in Feng Shui. It is sometimes used to block bad things, but it doesn't hang right.
There are two types of Bagua mirrors: concave mirrors and convex mirrors. The main function of the concave mirror is to control evil spirits, ward off evil spirits and eliminate disasters. The main function of the convex mirror is to attract wealth, bring luck, and pray for blessings. The traditional Tai Chi Bagua mirror can also play a role in turning things around.
, the function of adjusting Feng Shui. When there are Yin evil spirits, fire evil spirits, foot cutting evil spirits, and road rushing evil spirits near the house, you can hang a Bagua mirror to block these bad buildings. When there is a lucky mascot with strong aura opposite the house,
You can also hang a Bagua mirror to block the negative aura.
When Tai Chi moves, it generates Yang, and when it remains still, it generates Yin. One Yin and one Yang are two Yi. And the two Yi generate one Yin and one Yang, which are the Four Symbols (Shao Yang, Lao Yang, Shao Yin, Lao Yin). The Four Symbols are the Yin and Yang of heaven and earth.
The changes in nature also represent the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter. The four phenomena then give birth to yin and yang, forming the Bagua. The Bagua represents heaven, earth, wind, thunder, water, fire, mountains, and lakes, and represents health.
, smooth, dynamic, human, trapped, beautiful, stopped, said, etc. The Bagua Mirror has been a mascot that deters evil spirits since ancient times. In order to conform to the ancient celestial phenomena, it is made into a size of about 4 to 10 centimeters. It is said that "The Queen Mother of the Emperor met in
In the Wangwu, twelve mirrors were cast, and they were used according to the moon, which is the beginning of this mirror." In ancient times, bronze mirrors also had the magical function of driving away evil and warding off evil spirits. Ge Hong said in "Baopuzi": "The old man of all things.
, its essence system can remember the shape of a person and confuse people, but it cannot change the true shape in the mirror." Taoist priests often carry bronze mirrors on their backs when they go into the mountains. "Evil spirits dare not get close to them. If they see their own shape, they will turn around." Tang Dynasty
Li Shangyin, a great poet of the Ming Dynasty, once wrote a poem: "I heard that the mirror that shines on a demon is as sharp as the edge of a divine sword." Li Shizhen, a great medical scientist of the Ming Dynasty, pointed out in "Compendium of Materia Medica": "Mirrors are the essence of gold and water, bright inside and dark outside. Ancient mirrors are like ancient swords."
If it is a god, it can ward off evil spirits and disobedience...". The popular Tai Chi Bagua bronze mirrors, glass mirrors, plastic mirrors, iron mirrors - have high folk appreciation value, especially the bronze mirrors with radiant surfaces and exquisite carvings.
The Chinese Tenglong, the protruding spherical surface implies the yin and yang fish, carrying the yin and embracing the yang, embracing each other, and running forever.
King Wen's Bagua mirror can be divided into Bagua concave mirror and Bagua convex mirror. Generally, the Bagua mirror is surrounded by heavenly stems and earthly branches, innate Bagua, Heluo nine stars, and twenty-four solar terms. On the back is painted "Bagua Patriarch - Noble Man from Four Directions - Five Ways of Wealth God"
", but it must be used in conjunction with the stone tablet amulet or seal. The stone tablet amulet must be made of "dharma salt, gold, red scales, and xulun". The seals are added according to different birthdays:

effect.
I was curious about why there was a concave bagua, so I lit incense on both sides of the lion. When I entered the room, I saw a man standing in the middle. This was not the man I was asked to talk about last time. Why did something happen to him this time?
"Uncle Zhang, isn't he the person I mentioned last time?"
"Well, he's right."
“What’s going on?”
"Hey, I heard that the business lost money recently, and then suddenly got better again for some reason. But in the past few days, he just stood there without eating or drinking, and ignored anyone. It was useless even if we asked the people in the village to see him.
So I’m asking you to come and take a look this time, and I’m going to trouble you again.”
"Oh, it's okay, tell me what's wrong."
The aunt told us that it turned out that he was in the lumber business. But then suddenly, the lumber business was not as good as before and he owed a lot of debt. He went out to hide from the debt and came back not long after.
He said that he could make a fortune, not to mention that the factory was indeed much better when he came back and soon paid off the foreign debt. However, this year has not been going well. He has been talking about it all day long, especially in the past two days. In the past few days,
Tian just stood here motionless, and I don’t know why. After listening to what this aunt said, I was also confused. I didn’t know what went wrong, so I had to find a way to ask the person involved. I walked over and looked at him.
My eyes were black and motionless. I poked and poked them but they didn't move. This state was considered to be the birth of the soul. I took out the yellow paper and wrote the soul-fixing curse on it. I also found some chicken blood, put it in my mouth and sprayed it out.
In the past, the rooster crowed at dawn, which is a thing of the sun. I was afraid that it would not work, so I also gave myself a little blood. After this spray, the man immediately collapsed. As soon as he lay down, he started to say that I was wrong and I would never do it again.
, and so on.
I hurriedly asked him to lie down, pointed one hand directly to the center of his eyebrows, chanted the mantra, pinched the middle finger with both hands, and pushed it up his arm. Slowly, I could see a small bulge moving up, pushing it directly to the chest, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
It came out, and it was black and smelly. I asked my family to get his mouth level down again, after all, he had been standing there for several days.
"Master, save me, save me"
"Don't worry, I'm here to tell you what's going on."
"Master, have you ever heard of the Yin Temple? I was dizzy. I owed too much debt and was desperate. I heard from a friend that I could try the Yin Temple, so I believed it and went. After worshiping, I really didn't take it seriously.
Some people in the Yin Temple said that you need to take an oath, so I casually said, "Take away 10 years of my life. Later, I met someone in a dream who pointed me a way. I was dubious and gave it a try, but I didn't expect that I would actually make money."
I had enough money, I had paid off my foreign debt, and I still had a lot of money left in my hands. But what happened next made me almost collapse. There were always people who said they would give me my life back, and tortured me every day, saying that I must let myself speak.
You just have to come out and be willing, I’m really going crazy.”
"Oh, I understand, you brought it upon yourself."
"Isn't it better to just give it?" I did the math. This man still has 25 years to live. What should I be afraid of if I give it to him and he still has 15 years?
"I'll find someone to forget about it. I still have 20 years left. I don't want to die early. I haven't married yet and have children."
"Haha, you are really,,,,"
The people believe that people become ghosts after they die, so ancestor worship has always been an important activity. It is also a manifestation of being cautious about the past and remembering the ancestors. As for the undestined ghosts who have no one to worship, based on humane care, they feel sorry for them because they have no one to worship, so they build temples for them.
To make it belong to something, it is called "Yin Temple". There are also some temples built by people in the Yang world who are good at Taoism, which can be regarded as Yin Yinggong. The Yin temple has "Baixing Gong", "Jin Dougong", "Wanshan"
"Lord", "Grand Tomb Gong" and other types. Usually there is Ying Gong Temple. A red shawl is hung in front of the temple with the four words "requests will be answered", so it is called Ying Gong Temple. It is believed that the first day of July is the day when the gate of hell opens.
All ancestral temples dedicated to ghosts will symbolically open the door where the bones are placed in the early morning of this day to release the ghosts to come out to the world and enjoy the sacrifices of the people. If you see a small temple in a cemetery, if it does not say
Fude Zhengshen, then this one is similar to the mountain god. He is not a Zhengshen, but a demon god. He is one level higher than the ghost and is responsible for management.
It is said that because it answers all requests, there are many believers, especially gamblers, who are the main believers of Ying Gong Temple.
The similarities between Dazhong Ye and You Ying Gong are that they worship ownerless ghosts. The difference is that Dazhong Ye is the most powerful ghost among ghosts, while You Ying Gong enshrines ownerless bones.
Yin temples dedicated to these lonely ghosts usually have a bone tower at the back of the temple, and ownerless bones are placed between the bones. The door of the bone place is usually locked, and the door is only opened in the seventh month of the lunar calendar.
"I'll ask you again, where are you going to the Yin Temple?"
"I don't know where it is anymore"
"Hey, I can only give it a try. I have no idea whether it will work or not. But if you agree, you have to give it, otherwise your family will be implicated. Are you willing?"
"I am willing, I am willing, as long as this problem can be solved, I am willing"
I asked him to lie down and placed candles on his head and feet. At midnight, I lit the candles, placed paper figures on both sides of his head, lit incense, and wrote charms on his head, hands, and soles of his feet.
, all that's left is to wait and see who comes. At 2:10, a gust of wind blows, and there is a Huang Laodao at the door.
"Ahem, kid, it's time for Shouyuan to arrive."
"This old man, I'm sorry to bother you, can I talk to you?"
"Hey Maoshan people, do you want to make the decision for him?"
"No, no, I don't dare. I just want to chat with you and negotiate a business."
"Okay"
"You want him for 15 years, but the total is only 25 years. There is no work and he is not that big. Do you think this is feasible? Five years. Do you think it will be okay to support you for 10 years?"
This is a lonely soul who wants longevity in order to be reincarnated early. It is also an ownerless lonely soul. It has certain abilities. It is definitely good for someone to worship him. It can not only improve his cultivation but also allow him to eat. In fact, it is already very good. I
