The third brother had been a jitong for many years and had fought many monsters and monsters. However, something happened that made him feel discouraged and he changed his profession to become a painter.
Shen Xing said that probably a few years ago, when the third brother was only 23 or 24 years old, he participated in a wandering spirit activity in the first lunar month.
This kind of activity in Fujian is usually very lively and very elaborate. People from the whole city gather together to watch the performance. When wandering around, the entire street is controlled, and any shops or pedestrians and vehicles along the way are all prohibited. We have to make way for the wandering team.
This year's event is quite special. It is a sea-rushing ceremony. According to tradition, several martial arts boys will rush into the sea every year, holding double axes or swords, knives and forks, which means fighting against sea monsters, driving away evil spirits, and protecting one party. Safety.
For this year's sea-watering ceremony, the third brother was invited.
The third brother has been destined to the gods since he was a child, and he can easily communicate with the gods. Especially the god in his body is the third prince Nezha, which is particularly suitable for this sea-going ceremony.
Because Nezha is causing trouble in the sea, and with the third prince taking action, no sea monster dares to cause trouble.
At the beginning of the ceremony, the third brother dressed up as the third prince of Nezha, wearing a Bagua apron and a Qiankun circle. He held a fire-pointed spear, majestic and powerful, and rushed towards the sea with a few people.
The surrounding people cheered, and firecrackers were blasting on the shore. The scene was extremely spectacular and shocking.
Of course, the third prince of Nezha only has his third brother. Although the others are also maidens, they are all the guardians of the third prince.
Several people rushed into the sea. The third brother waved the fire-pointed spear and the Qiankun Circle, which was majestic and beautiful. The fire-pointed spear allowed him to perform in an airtight manner, and his moves were all real kung fu. He looked like a real god coming down from heaven. It seems that he is fighting with the evil spirits in the sea.
The people on the shore cheered thunderously and drummed loudly, as if they were cheering for the third prince Nezha.
Soon, the ceremony came to an end. At this time, the wave receded, and the third brother walked out of the sea with a spear. The gongs and drums on the shore beat louder, and everyone cheered.
Generally speaking, after such a ceremony, it means that the coming year will be safe and there will be no evil spirits in the sea to cause trouble!
At this moment, something unexpected happened.
A group of people came from a distance. Those people were also holding gongs and drums. While beating, someone shouted loudly: "Emperor Baosheng patrols the world, sympathizes with all living beings, and saves the suffering!"
The scene was so grand that everyone's eyes were attracted to them.
Speaking of which, we have to talk about Emperor Baosheng.
This Emperor Baosheng, whose surname is Wu Mingkui, is a famous doctor in the Song Dynasty. He is also known as Wu Zhenren, Wu Gongzhenxian, Daggong, Fuhui Miaodao Zhenjun, Tzu Chi Medical Ling Miaohui Zhenjun, etc. His full name is Haotian Medical Ling Miaohui Zhenjun Wanshou Wuji Baosheng Emperor.
Emperor Baosheng is not only the local patron saint worshiped by compatriots of southern Fujian and Taiwan, but also a Taoist deity believed by the Chinese in southern Fujian, Chaoshan, Taiwan, and Southeast Asia.
Legend has it that since the age of 17, Wu Zhenren has been traveling around the world, becoming a disciple of famous doctors from all over the world, and studying medical skills diligently to become a spiritual doctor. During the reign of Emperor Renzong of the Song Dynasty, the medical emperor Hou recovered, made elixirs to save the world, and benefited everyone. On the second day of May in Jingyou Bingzi (1036), he chose a place to manifest on Zhangzhou Baijiao.
From the Song Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty, he was granted the title of Wuji Baosheng Emperor fifteen times.
According to folklore, Wu Zhen had superb medical skills and noble medical ethics during his lifetime. He rescued the sick regardless of high or low, and did not receive any money. He was deeply loved by the people at that time and was revered as a miracle doctor.
After his death, people built palaces, temples, and statues for him to worship. This gradually developed into a belief, and his title gradually evolved from a miracle doctor to a medical god.
History also records that from the Song Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty, Wu Kui was given no less than 10 titles. During the reign of Emperor Renzong of the Song and Ming Dynasties, he was named Emperor Baosheng. Taoism also included him in the divine system and respected him as a deity.
Among these many titles, the title of "Emperor Baosheng" is the highest, and its divine power is also to "protect this life, cure diseases and save diseases." This is also the noble spirit of Wu Zhenren. This spirit has been widely spread among the people, thus gaining the belief of countless good men and women. .
There are also many stories about Emperor Baosheng circulated among the people. It is said that there is also a story about the battle between the sea god Mazu and Emperor Baosheng. Later, it was also interpreted as the phenomenon of wind and rain in the third month of the lunar calendar in Fujian and Taiwan.
I won’t say much about Emperor Baosheng. If you are interested, you can check it out.
All in all, those who are qualified to be canonized as gods in China, as I said before, are basically those with noble conduct and great merits to the world, and can gain everyone's belief.
So, from this perspective, the culture of gods really cannot be summed up as feudal superstition. When he was alive, he saved countless people and benefited all people in the world. Why should he say that he is feudal superstition?
Closer to home, there was a boy of eighteen or nineteen years old in the parade of wandering gods at that time, sitting on a throne and being carried in the procession.
Logically speaking, it is normal for the Youshen team to include Emperor Baosheng, but this team came at the wrong time and place. It was obviously for the Third Prince Nezha.
Because they are holding a sea flushing ceremony here, why do you, Emperor Baosheng, come here to join in the fun?
And when the team came closer, they saw the boy possessed by the "Baosheng Emperor" jumping down, throwing off his coat, and slashing at his back with a machete.
After a few cuts, blood dripped, but the boy didn't notice it. He acted like nothing happened. At the same time, he took out something that looked like an herb, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it. Then he took another sip of wine and spat it out.
Someone nearby was holding a basin, collecting the mixture of wine and herbs he sprayed and smearing it on his back.
Then, a magical scene happened. All the blood and wounds on his back just disappeared, and his back was as smooth as ever, without even a knife mark!
Everyone couldn't help but be shocked when they saw this. Although this kind of show is also a common performance in You Shen, I don't know what kind of medicine this person used, but it was so magical that the knife wound healed instantly? ?
When the third brother saw this scene, he knew that the other party was here to fight, because that group of people had already blocked the road on his side! Bayi Chinese website
So at this time, the third brother put on a pose, raised a fire-tipped spear and shouted at the other party: "Hey! I am the third prince of Nezha. How dare you pretend to be Emperor Baosheng and come here to disturb the sea-watering ceremony?"
The boy on the other side put away the knife at this time. Hearing the words, he didn't say anything. He just waved his arms and came out in a posture.
The third brother understood as soon as he saw this posture that the other party was trying to gesticulate with him.
But at this time, the opponent put away the knife, and it was not easy for him to use the weapon, so he also put away the fire-pointed spear. With his luck concentrated, he held the Qiankun Circle with both hands and punched him through the air!
