Chen Daji was always curious, so he couldn't help scratching his messy hair and asked.
"Hu...Uncle Hu, what the hell is a cow ghost?"
"Can I still keep it?!"
Hu Qingshan wanted to test Hua Jiu's insights, so he didn't answer.
Just smile.
Hua Jiunan put down his bowl and chopsticks and began to tell the origin of the term "cow ghost and snake spirit".
The term "ox ghosts and snake gods" is originally a Buddhist term, referring to ghosts, gods, and men in the underworld.
Later it slowly evolved into the current idiom.
The legend of Niugui is the Niu-headed ghost pawn in hell, also known as A Pong and A Fang.
According to the "Tiecheng Mud Plow Sutra":
Bull ghosts "are unfilial to their parents when they are humans in the world, and after death they become ghost soldiers with the body of a bull head."
In some Buddhist scriptures, Niugui is also called "defender", which means patrolling, visiting and arresting escaped prisoners.
The "Iron City Mud Plow Sutra" is a sutra that describes the conditions of hell.
There are always people here who misunderstand the meaning of the text.
The original meaning of the scripture is that Niutou Abong, as the jailer, brought the sinners to the Emperor Yama and reported the sinners' crimes to the Emperor Yama.
Those who are unfilial to their parents are sinners, not jailers or ghosts.
The "Snake God" is the great python god Mahuluojia, one of the "Eight Dragons" in Buddhism.
According to legend, it is the god of music with a human body and a snake head, protecting Buddhism.
The statue of Mahallaka in Puji Temple is a nobleman with several snakes on his head.
Or it has a snake face, holding a sheng or a flower drum tied around the waist, and holding a drumstick.
Volume 2 of the "Vimalakirti Sutra" says that it is called an earth dragon, a walking god without any legs or belly.
Receive the wine and meat provided by the worldly temple (this is not a typo, what is recorded in the scriptures is the wine and meat, no need to spray it).
Those who break the precepts and indulge in evil deeds, have too much anger and give little, are greedy for alcohol and meat, are slow to abstain and fall into the trap of ghosts and gods, and have many angry insects entering their bodies and eating them.
At this point, Hua Jiunan added.
"The 'cow-raising ghost' that Senior Hu saw was certainly not raising servants from the underworld."
"It's a unique method of harming people in Southeast Asia."
"Similar to raising a brat."
After listening to Hua Jiunan's explanation, Hu Qingshan couldn't help but clasp his hands and laugh with joy.
"Okay, okay, Nine Difficulties deserves to be learned from my family. I was born to know it!"
Chen Daji looked at Hua Jiunan, his eyes filled with little stars of admiration.
He even made up his mind:
It seems that I can’t be satisfied with just looking up the dictionary, I have to read a few more books!
But all the textbooks were used up by that guy Huwa, so I have to ask my dad to buy me another set of textbooks...
After thinking about it, Chen Daji had a new problem.
"Since Xu Fangcao's soul has been sent back by the young monk, why does she still have amnesia?"
The deaf mother-in-law picked up a piece of meat, put it in Chen Daji's bowl, and said with a smile.
"You silly boy, grandma told you."
"Mortal souls leave the body and are swept away by the evil wind and yin energy, and they will suffer some damage."
"After a few days, when the three souls and seven souls are stabilized again, it will naturally be fine."
Hu Feier was very smart and had already vaguely guessed what happened.
"It seems that the owner of the ski resort has offended some people."
"These people want to harm him in a 'cattle devil' way."
"And Xu Fangcao...Miss Xu just met..."
When Hu Feier said this, the deaf mother-in-law suddenly slapped the table and snorted coldly.
"Whether he does it intentionally or not, anyone who dares to offend my eldest grandson or the people around him will be severely punished!"
Hua Jiunan and Chen Daji were stunned when they heard this.
They don't understand:
Why did grandma, who had always been compassionate, strict with herself, and lenient towards others, get so angry?
But the ancestors and grandsons of the Hu family all bowed their heads in deep thought.
The deaf mother-in-law saw the confusion in Hua Jiunan's eyes and calmed down before speaking warmly.
"The eldest grandson, the second grandson, as well as Brother Hu and Fei'er, come to the side room with the old lady."
"The rest of them eat slowly and go to bed after eating."
At this moment, Chang Huaiyuan and Hui Laoliu came hand in hand.
"Hahaha, it seems we came at the right time."
When Master Chang Ba saw his eldest brother arriving, he was frightened at first.
Then with a flattering look on his face, he picked up a pot of instant noodles he had just cooked with his tail and brought it to Chang Huaiyuan.
"Brother, try it while it's hot, it's so delicious!"
Chang Huaiyuan wanted to scold him.
But seeing Master Chang Ba's appearance, especially his fawning expression, I still couldn't bear it.
"Why!"
"Badi, if you like, eat more."
"Brother is no longer interested in food and drink."
After Chang Huaiyuan finished speaking, he patted Master Chang Ba's head gently to show his closeness.
"Eighth brother, you... remember to practice well after eating..."
Seeing the back of Chang Huaiyuan entering the house, Chang Baye's heart turned upside down!
How long?
a hundred years? Two hundred years? Three hundred years?
Chang Baye couldn't remember how long it had been since his eldest brother spoke to him in such a friendly tone.
The last time the brothers were this close was after he was beaten by a wild boar.
Mr. Chang Ba was seriously injured that time. He was covered in bruises and was dying.
After finally crawling back to the clan, he was laughed at by the other six brothers.
Only the eldest brother Chang Huaiyuan was furious!
Not only did he scold the other six brothers, he also immediately captured the wild boar.
In front of all the animals that have turned on their intelligence, chop them into pieces with one knife!
Then, let Mr. Chang Ba slowly swallow it one bite at a time.
This is the Chang family's uncle trying to establish authority for his younger brother!
Also a warning to everyone:
Whoever dares to bully Mr. Chang Ba, this is the only outcome! ! !
That time, with tears in his eyes, Chang Huaiyuan applied medicine to the dying Chang Baye.
At the same time, he warned softly:
"Baby, if you fight with others in the future, remember to run away if you can't beat them, you know?"
"Don't be stupid and fight with others."
"Run home and tell big brother that if anyone dares to bully you, big brother will tear him alive!"
From that time on, Chang Baye always hoped that he could run faster and faster.
In his mind: As long as he runs fast enough, he won't get hurt;
As long as he is not hurt, the eldest brother will not cry because of his sadness...
