Shriya was shocked and realized that she had lost her composure. She was afraid that the secret in her heart would be known to others, and thus she would lose the few life-and-death friends she had recently felt that she had been reborn.

Shi Liya suppressed the pain in her heart, smiled slightly at Zhao Waner and said: "Wan'er, nothing's wrong! I'm just saying with emotion, together the few of us, the world will be extremely beautiful."

Zhao Waner handed Shi Liya a cup of freshly brewed coffee and said sweetly: "Sister Shi, don't be so sad! We are sisters, and we share life and death with the other three eldest brothers. The five of us are one body, everyone

Being together is the greatest happiness. Tomorrow when we visit the ghost town of Fengdu, sister Shi, you must always stay with me and be a free tour guide for me, hehe! Go to bed early today. After a day of riding in the car, my bones are going fast.

Falling apart."

The two looked at each other and smiled. After washing, they went to bed to rest.

Fengdu is an ancient city surrounded by mountains and rivers. It was called Bazibiedu in the Spring and Autumn Period. The mountains have towering ancient trees and numerous temples.

A group of five people went up Pingdu Mountain and couldn't help but be impressed by the beautiful scenery along the way. In this warm spring day, everyone felt very comfortable. There was no gloomy feeling like a ghost town in the original impression.

.

When I arrived at the Heng Ha Temple, I saw the two generals Heng Ha carved in the temple, who were extremely powerful. Shi Liya told Zhao Waner that these two generals Heng Ha were from "The Romance of the Gods".

Legend has it that General Heng, whose real name was Zheng Lun, was originally a general of King Zhou of Shang Dynasty. He studied under the master Du'e and learned unique skills.

Master Du'e taught him two qi in his orifice. When he encountered an enemy, he would snort like a bell and spit out two white lights, sucking people's souls. Zheng Lun relied on this trick to kill King Wu of Zhou. Later, he was killed by Jiang Ziya.

He subdued him, surrendered to the Western Zhou Dynasty, and assisted King Wu.

General Ha, whose real name was Chen Qi, was also a general of King Zhou of Shang Dynasty. He was taught by a stranger to refine a stream of yellow energy in his belly. When he opened his mouth, the yellow energy spurted out and his opponent's soul dispersed. Chen Qi once fought with Zheng Lun who surrendered to the Zhou Dynasty.

One hum and one haha, no matter who wins or loses.

Later, Chen Qi was stabbed to death by Huang Feihu. After King Wu of Zhou destroyed Zhou, Jiang Ziya set up an altar to confer gods on the order of Yuanshi Tianzun. Zheng Lun and Chen Qi were granted the title of guarding Liangshi Mountain Gate, announcing enlightenments, and protecting magic weapons. They were called the gods of the two generals of Hengha.

.

Zhao Waner suddenly said: "When we were in Qian County, didn't we see the two door gods posted on the door of the house? They were Qin Qiong and Yuchi Gong, the two generals of Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty? How come they became the second generals of Heng Ha again?"

Zhang Yuanshan on the side interjected: "Wan'er, that is what is described in "Journey to the West". Originally, the door god was the Second General Heng Ha. Later, Li Shimin dreamed of the Dragon King of Jinghe River and begged the Emperor Li Shimin for mercy. Only because the Dragon King of Jinghe River and the

Yuan Shoucheng, who set up a fortune-telling stall, bet on the number of rain points. Unexpectedly, Yuan Shoucheng was indeed a divine fortune teller, and he was exactly the same as the Jade Emperor's edict asking the Jinghe Dragon King to calculate the rain points. The Jinghe Dragon King was so competitive that he secretly deducted the rain points.

"

"In this way, the Dragon King of Jinghe River violated the laws of heaven and was ordered by the Jade Emperor to be tied to the Dragon Cutting Platform and ordered to be executed by his minister Wei Zheng. Then the Dragon King of Jinghe River asked Li Shimin in his dream to plead for mercy, and Li Shimin actually agreed in his dream.

River Dragon King. In order to prevent Wei Zheng from going to the Dragon Cutting Platform, he deliberately asked Wei Zheng to play chess with him."

"Unexpectedly, when the time to kill the Dragon King of Jinghe was approaching, Wei Zheng actually fell asleep. Li Shimin was secretly happy, thinking that he had saved the old dragon's life. But he did not expect that Wei Zheng actually dreamed of killing the Dragon King of Jinghe. Jinghe

After the Dragon King died, he was resentful of Li Shimin for breaking his promise, so he carried his own dragon head and caused trouble in the palace of Chang'an City."

"Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty was so frightened by the old dragon that he became seriously ill and could not sleep at night. Two of his ministers, Qin Shubao and Yuchi Jingde, stood on both sides of the palace gate with maces and whips in each hand. The ghost of the Dragon King saw the two generals being so powerful.

I was so incomparable that I never dared to enter the palace again."

"Li Shijian had just recovered from his illness. Seeing that his two beloved generals were working too hard to guard him day and night, he ordered a painter to draw images of the two of them and post them on the palace gate to replace them on guard duty. Later, everything turned out to be peaceful.

As soon as word spread, people rushed to paint their images and put them on their doors to drive away ghosts and ward off evil spirits. Therefore, Qin Qiong and Yuchi Gong replaced General Heng Ha as the door gods of many families."

Zhao Waner teased: "Oh, when we talked about allusions earlier, Brother Zhang didn't say a word. When it comes to folk legends about ghosts and gods, that's our master's specialty!"

Several people couldn't help but laugh, and continued to play all the way up the mountain.

As soon as they entered the Hall of Repaying Grace, there were statues of the Bodhisattva Mulian and his two disciples, Min Gong and Min Zhi. Shi Liya knelt down, kowtowed a few times, and said softly to Zhao Waner: "This Bodhisattva Mulian is a Buddhist figure. Regarding him,

You have to ask Li Bing to tell you the allusion."

Li Bing also knelt down and worshiped Mulian Bodhisattva devoutly, without replying, and turned around to leave the Repaying Grace Hall.

Several people followed immediately, and Zhao Waner said angrily: "Li Bing, what do you mean? You ignored us and walked out alone."

Li Bing said with a solemn expression: "I have learned a lot since I consulted Zen Master Kongming about Buddhism. Talking about Bodhisattva in the Bodhisattva Hall is a great disrespect to Bodhisattva. So, I came out now and can tell you about the subject.

It’s about Lotus Bodhisattva.”

Li Bing clasped his hands together, recited the Buddha's name, and then said: "It is said that Mulian Bodhisattva is one of the ten disciples of the Buddha Sakyamuni, and is known as the number one in supernatural powers. Mulian's parents had a son in old age. After Mulian was born,

, on the seventh day, his father passed away unexpectedly."

"As soon as Mulian was born, he behaved like his father, respecting the three treasures of Buddhism: Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha. When Mulian grew up, he went out to do business. Before leaving, he said to his mother: 'My child goes out to seek wealth, and my mother should accumulate good deeds at home.

Accumulate virtue and treat monks well.'"

"Mulien's mother agreed to her son's request, but as soon as her son left, she continued to go her own way, beating and scolding the monks. After Mulian returned home, she heard comments from her neighbors, saying that his mother was extremely unfriendly to the monks and Taoists.

So he questioned her mother. Mu Lian's mother swore, 'If I treat a monk badly, I will not die within seven days.'"

"Sure enough, within seven days, Mulian's mother suddenly fell ill and died. After his mother's death, Mulian scattered the family's belongings to his neighbors and continued to practice alone in the mortal world."

"Later, Mulian achieved enlightenment and became a Buddhist venerable. After Mulian attained enlightenment, he opened his eyes and saw that his late father was enjoying the glory and wealth in the pure land of heaven, but his mother was not seen, so he asked the Buddha for advice.

.

"Buddha told Mulian: Because your mother disrespected Buddhism, she has been cast down to the eighteenth level of hell, suffered the pain of hanging upside down, and turned into a hungry ghost. If you want to save your mother, you must prepare all the necessary materials on the fifteenth day of the seventh lunar month.

By offering various kinds of food and drink to monks from the ten directions, your mother will be saved."
