Chapter 211: The Octopus and the Bear's Paw Again Ask the Fox Again
Qingyun and Li Shenjun also got off their horses at this time, and they were about to go up to say hello and apologize.

Unexpectedly, the white-robed Sangmen star was really arrogant and unreasonable, without waiting for Qingyun to speak, he tore off a stick-like weapon from his horse, and stabbed at him.

The so-called layman watches the excitement, while the insider watches the way,

This poke may seem random in the eyes of others, but Qingyun frowned when he saw it.

The sword technique of Excalibur Villa?
Although this guy is not the ultimate martial artist like Thirteen Swords of Desperation, Qingyun is very familiar with the Xie family's sword intent after meeting Xie Fanjing, blocking Xie Aji, and fighting Xie Emei.

As soon as the white-robed man made a move, he recognized it.

Qingyun wanted to show off, he took a step back and stretched his left palm over the wooden stick, and then his right hand pointed like a sword, wantonly swaying the thirteen deadly swords that he had learned from the picture of a tiger and a cat.

"what?"

The white-robed man knew very well, he hurriedly dragged his filial stick backwards and jumped away.

The tip of the stick brushed the horse's leg, and the horse was in pain. Herod uttered a cry, turned around and walked away.

When the horse passed by the white-robed man, he tapped the stick on the ground, jumped up and jumped onto the horse's back.

"Don't go if you have the guts, grandpa will come when he goes."

Qingyun and Li Shenjun glanced at each other, it really was a coincidence that they met such a nagging creature.

By the time the two mounted their horses again, the white-clothed man had already disappeared without a trace, even if they chased him, he might not be able to catch up.

"I thought I'd have a chance to have a good fight, that's all?"

Li Shenjun curled his lips in disdain.

There was such a turmoil for no reason, the two always restrained a little, along the right side of the official road, slightly slowed down the speed of the horse, and galloped side by side.

The outline of Luoyang City in the distance gradually became clear, and Qingyun's mood also became joyful.

He was about to beat the horse with whips, but he saw two horsemen galloping out of the city gate.

Although the leader Yiqi still couldn't see his face clearly, the high white crown was really eye-catching.

Li Shenjun also saw it clearly, and snorted coldly,
"Is this asking for a helper to find us bad luck?"

"Come and come.

Just now I saw the sword that Sangmen Xing made at random,
Probably comparable to the Dizhi Sword Slave in the Sword Trial Villa.

The helper he called might be stronger, dare to fight? "

"A joke! My Longxi Li family will be afraid of trouble?

Walk!Beat him!

If anything goes wrong, my Li family has the bottom line! "

This is the first time that Qingyun has learned the benefits of making friends with a rich man, Kuo Shao.

Although his eldest brother is also from the royal family, but after all, he is a gangster.

When it comes to fighting, they naturally stand shoulder to shoulder, but they don't throw such bureaucratic hammers.

Qingyun and Li Shenjun looked at each other and smiled, they got off their horses together and crossed their arms to ride.

The two horses on the opposite side rushed forward, seeing that the other party had already set up a posture, they also threw their saddles off the horses one after the other.

The man who came with the white-clothed man was dressed in black and had black hats, and the two thick black broom eyebrows were the most eye-catching, almost covering up all the other facial features.

Hey, this funeral is really a funeral. It is also a miracle that this pair can get together.

"Old Ba? The master of the Excalibur Villa you mentioned is this one?"

The man in black saw Li Shenjun's extraordinary demeanor and had seen Guan Nian, who was at the age of full physical strength, so he thought that the man in white had suffered from him secretly.

"No, old seven, is it the kid next to him who used the thirteen deadly swords?"

Hearing what he said, the man in black gave an ooh, looked Qingyun up and down, clasped his fists and said,
"Fan Wujiu in Shunyang, this is my sworn brother Chenjun Xie Bi'an.

Dare I ask if this young man is the third son of Shenjian Villa? "

Although Qingyun still looks like a young man, obviously younger than the third young master in the rumors, but before Guannian, in Shenjian Villa, only the third young master was able to comprehend the superior martial art of killing thirteen swords in recent years. Thank you Aji alone.

Xie Bi'an is from the same lineage as Shenjian Villa, so when he joined hands with Qingyun, he knew that his opponent was not easy.

He had a relationship with Xie's family, and he knew that he was a formidable opponent, but he didn't want to give up, so he hurriedly called Fan Wuxuan to help him find a place.

Qingyun smiled lightly,
"Xie Aji? I have seen it.

He lost a trick last time.

But a few days ago, I defeated a man named Xie Emei,

It's like getting the place back. "

Fan Wuzui frowned those two bushy brows, and asked in disbelief,
"You defeated Xie Emei?
she is still alive?where is she? "

"That's right! Xie Emei is currently living in Zhan Snake Villa, and she is one of the four fierce slaves, Taotie."

Qingyun replied lightly.

Xie Bi'an had already heard that Qingyun was not from Shenjian Villa, and when he saw that he mentioned Zhan Snake Villa, he suddenly became alert and said,
"Are you, Qingyun, the new Tangun of the Tanzong who singled out the Snake Villa a few days ago?"

"It's right down.

This is the Li family of Longxi, Li Shenjun. "

Qingyun reported his name in due course, with a full posture, understood that he didn't want to say more, and was ready to tear it apart.

The two people on the opposite side also went up the road, Fan Wujiu cupped his fists and saluted,
"That would be preposterous!
My eighth brother was expelled from Shenjian Villa for a minor fault, and he had some problems with that side.

Sooner or later we have to blame them.

Since Sect Master Qing and the two top masters of Excalibur Villa have fought against each other,

Then we might as well borrow the two brothers to test their quality and confirm the tricks our two brothers have figured out recently. "

Qingyun probably already knew Xie Bi'an's skills, and guessed that Fan Wujiu would not be too strong, so he waved his hand, pretending to be grand,

"You don't need to bother Brother Li, I will discuss with the two of you by myself."

Fan Wujiu frowned again, twisted the two thick threads like mourning sticks,
"So that Sect Master Qing has an idea in mind.

My brother knows that you are skilled and courageous, but we are not taking it easy.

Although my eighth brother and I are really poor in fighting alone, in recent years we have worshiped under the sect of Zhang Zhenren in Longhu Mountain, and devoted ourselves to studying the method of Chengfu,
With this, a set of martial arts has been jointly created, and when used in combination, the momentum will be multiplied.

Sect Master Qing is still cautious. "

When Qingyun heard the words Zhang Tianshi, he just wanted to ask.

How did you know Fan, Xie, these two people who are neither human nor ghost, are really bachelors, and they can fight whenever they want.

In Fan Wujiu's hand is a pitch black flat stick, which matches the white mourning stick that Xie Bi'an sent.

As soon as the two of them made a move, the white python and black flood dragon rolled together, the top was covered by dark clouds, and the white waves beat their roots.

Compared with Xie Bi'an's innocuous stick just now, it's like a world of difference.

The image reflected in Qingyun's pupils has been divided into black and white,

He couldn't help but gasped, he was really exaggerating what he said just now.

With just this move, the black and white ghosts and the third young master of the Xie family in front of me might really have a fight!

But now he has no time to worry about Xie Aji, how to escape from this black and white grating is the top priority.

Jingshui is clear, Weishui is turbid, and the two rivers meet. Although the momentum has increased, there is still a clear distinction between Weishui and Weishui.

This black and white has not been mixed into one color, so it cannot be regarded as invulnerable after all.

Between the dark clouds and the white waves, there is a faint emptiness,
As long as your sword is faster than the opponent's stick, then the outcome is a fight!
"""""Knock on the blackboard time"""""

The previous chapter on ancient music has been finished, but the author found that there is still a tail missing.Mai Shiranui's selected dance songs Yuzao Qiantinghua and Huatonghua in the fighting dance are actually fabricated songs that are opposite to Yushu Houtinghua.Mai Shiranui was bestowed the hereditary title of Yuzaoqian by King Wei.Tamamo, in Japan, is the incarnation of the nine-tailed fox.The so-called Yuzao refers to the pendant in front of the emperor's crown. Yuzaoqian actually means the woman in front of the emperor's eyes, and it is used to refer to the enchantress who brings disaster to the country.

In Japanese culture, the image of Tamamo-mae is basically constructed according to Daji.It was rumored that Yuzao came from India before, which is pure nonsense.The origin of this set of reincarnation theory is in Japan. They say that the nine-tailed fox was originally born in China, and was Daji during the Shang Dynasty.Daji was defeated and died, and was reincarnated as the princess Huayangtian of Magadha during the period of the Sixteen Heroic Kingdoms in India.After Shenmie, he sneaked back to China, and in the Tang Dynasty followed the ship that sent the Tang envoy Jibei Zhenbei to Japan.This Nine-Tails story is original in Japan.In the story, the Shang Dynasty was hundreds of years earlier than the Sixteen Kingdoms of India, and it naturally originated in China.Moreover, the earliest origin of China's Nine Tails was not in the Shang Dynasty, but the Qingqiu tribe during the period of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors.The theory of Nine Tails originating in India can be stopped.

But China likes to attribute many ancient legends to India, not just one.Today we are going to talk about the cause and effect of King Yama.Where did Yan Luo culture come from?In this section, Black and White Wuchang appear. Fan Wujiu (black) and Xie Bi'an (white) are the real names of the two Wuchang. These two are Chinese original gods, there should be no doubt.

But for King Yama and the bull-headed horse face, the controversy is huge, and we need to talk about it slowly.

First of all, the model of Shan Yanluo, the Lord of Hell, comes from "Journey to the West".This belongs to the Journey to the West culture, not a native Chinese belief.As we all know, the original intention of Journey to the West was to welcome the Buddha, so some local beliefs were integrated with Buddhist IDs.The Lord of the Underworld in local beliefs was first the Lord of Taishan Prefecture. This is recorded from Tao Hongjing’s "True Spirit Position and Industry Map" to Song "Yunji Seven Signs".Even though later there was the saying of the ten halls of Yama, King Yama was only the fifth hall among them - the most dirty and shining king of the five halls of the Tianzunhua Hades in the northeast.Whether the Ten Temples of Yama and King Yama have anything to do with Indian culture, then we always have to look for Indian culture to find out if there is a suitable prototype, right?

As for King Yama, people in Kazakhstan have always believed that its origin is Yamaraja, which is transliterated as Yamaraja.Is it true?This deity comes from the Hindu Vedas and is only mentioned in the Rig Veda.This is a god, the master of Yan Motian, the third day of Liuyutian.And his body is a pair of twins, with a younger sister Yan Mi.What is the relationship between this god and the Lord of the Underworld?No.

The Indian Buddhist classics also recognize the Six Desire Heavens. In the "Chang'an Sutra", the king of Yan Motian once helped Di Shitian to fight against Asura.But also in the "Long Agama Sutra", there is another underworld ghost with the same name, also named Yama.Juan 19 "There was a big prison guard who caught King Yama lying on a hot iron, opened his mouth with an iron hook, poured it with foreign copper, burned his lips and tongue, and passed through from throat to abdomen, all of which were scorched. Let's have fun with all the girls." This is a punished villain, and there is no evidence that he has ever entered or will enter the underworld.

The two Yama concepts of Indian origin have nothing to do with Yama of the Underworld.The Lord of the Underworld in Indian native culture is Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, and this concept is also used in Chinese Buddhism, so it is absurd to use a thin term Yama as the cultural source of the Lord of the Underworld in the Central Plains.

At this time, someone will come up with the statement in the "Ask the Hell Sutra": King Yama, it is said that he was originally the king of the Vaisha Kingdom.However, there is no complete version of this scripture so far, and there is no Sanskrit traceability. Only fragments of its secondary quotation can be found in various scriptures.We have talked about the ins and outs of some Buddhist classics before, and many scriptures are native to China.This scripture, which is unknown in age and has no fragments, is an isolated case for Yan Luoxi.

Perhaps it is not an isolated case, after all, there is a "Ten Kings Sutra" that introduces the ten halls of Yama in detail.King Yama suddenly turned one into ten. Who borrowed whose culture?As for the corresponding identity of Yama, some say that it is Yama, the fifth hall, while others think that it is the incarnation of King Equality in the annotations.This self-consistent statement just proves that there is no cultural mapping between the Ten Kings and Yama.The theory of ten kings is a new theory hatched in China.

Someone must have asked at this time, you will only say that Yan Luo has nothing to do with India, but then you can talk about whether the name Yan Luo has a classic in Chinese local culture?If there is no local source, then you have no position to refute the "Ten Kings Sutra".Yes, it makes sense, let's talk about the relationship between the Lord of the Underworld and local culture.

Yan, you will find this word in ancient calligraphy books. It used to be a place name.Published "Zuo Zhuan Zhaogong 20 Years" to fight against ghosts and Yan. [Note] There is Yan Pavilion in the northwest of Changting County, Yingchuan. "Ji Yun", ghost Yan, place name, in Yingchuan.

The two characters Yan and ghost have been linked as early as 500 BC.Why is there such a place in Yingchuan?The answer lies in a well-known allusion. "Zuo Zhuan" states that during Yin Gong's period, that is, more than 700 BC, Zheng Boke Duan and Yan arrested his own younger brother, so he had a stalemate with his mother.Zheng Bo (Zhuang Gong) was so angry that he wanted to break justice with his mother. He vowed not to see each other until he came to Huangquan, and put his mother under house arrest in Yingchuan.Later, Zheng Bo regretted it and wanted to see his mother, but he didn't want to break his promise, so he dug the ground in Yingchuan to see the spring at the suggestion of Yingshu Kao, the lord of Yingdi, and met his mother for the purpose of meeting his mother in Huangquan.This place later became Gui Yan (Yan Zhe, the door also).The belief in the underworld has long existed in China. When you dig up the underworld, you will see the ghost Yan. So under the underworld, the king of all ghosts should be called the king of hell? (Refer to Yan Pavilion) So it makes sense to say that the emperor of Mount Tai is the king of Hades.From the perspective of Buddhism, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is also worthy, but what is Yama's identity, how can he be called Hades at will?
After the Song Dynasty, the ten kings have been concluded. The first king, Qin Guangwang, has introduced his origin in this work. Later, Bao Zheng, Lu Dai, and Lu You also each led a palace.This is Huaxia's own belief, respecting heaven, earth, kings, relatives and virtuous people.One king developed into ten kings, it was Yama (Luo, Chen Ye, Lie Ye).

All place names have meanings or historical backgrounds. No names have ever been given by God, they are all endowed by man.The textual research on the place name Guiyan has lasted for 5000 years, and no one deciphered it in the first 500 years, and many people will copy this book in the next 500 years.This is the value of the existence of this book, and such original formulations abound.

After talking about Hades, let’s mention the bull’s head and horse noodles.Digging through Indian classics to find those bull-headed and horse-headed ones is the same as forcing Hanuman on Monkey King's head. There is no basis at all.There are only two sayings about the cow-headed horse coming out of India.One is the lost "Inquiring Hell Sutra" mentioned above, we will not expand further.Another place is the Shurangama Sutra.

The Shurangama Sutra is said to have been dictated in the Tang Dynasty by a recluse Pramiti (Infinite) from the Tianzhu Kingdom, interpreted by the recluse Mijia Shuoqan from the Wuchang Kingdom, and then dictated by the recluse Huaidi of the Tang Dynasty (probably because of the accent problem). Four-hand scriptures transcribed by layman Fang Rong.Whether this scripture is apocrypha has been debated in academic circles, but there is no dispute that there is no Sanskrit original of this scripture handed down.Another solitary scripture that is only in Chinese.Moreover, it is a very authentic and fair Sinology article: the spiritual consciousness of the dead.See Grand Iron City.Fire snake fire dog.Tiger wolf lion.Bull Jailer.Horse head Rakshasa.Holding a gun.Drive into the city gate.To the endless prison.

The bull's head and horse's head here is obviously not intended to refer to it. It is called the same place as the fire snake, fire dog, tiger, wolf and lion, and has no logical relationship with the current bull's head and horse's face.However, in Chinese culture, the bull's head and horse face has long had its meaning, and this scripture probably borrowed this meaning to transcribe into the text.

Bull head, a symbol of justice; horse face, a symbol of insight.

These are all cultural symbols that existed in the Han Dynasty or even before.Here is the evidence:
Niu Tau: "Three Kingdoms·Shu·Jiang Wan Biography" After Wan saw the push, there was a Niu Tau in front of the door in Yemeng, bleeding profusely, with a very evil meaning, and asked Zhanmeng Zhao Zhi.Zhi said: "When the husband sees the blood, the matter is clear. The horns and the nose, the image of the word 'gong', the monarch must be the highest prince, and it is also a sign of great auspiciousness."

The bull's head is shaped like a public character, so it symbolizes justice.

Horse face: Take the horse prince.The worship of Lord Ma was first seen in the early Zhou Dynasty, corresponding to the stars in the sky.It has three eyes that can see all the truth.This belief split into two characters Erlang and Ma Mian in the later period, and the original source, Xingguan Xingri Ma also gradually canceled the three-eyed setting, and the existence of the former three-eyed horse king can only be found in proverbs.

Buddhism, especially the culture of Chinese Buddhism, must not be equated with Indian culture.We have mature characters, but others only have language and phonetic writing.However, the written records sorted out by my heavenly state still have to be traced back to the transcription and dictation of Sanskrit?absurd!
If someone says that the bull-headed and horse-faced King Yama comes from Indian culture, then you can ask him to recite an original Sanskrit text to listen to, so that the horse prince can see it.
