Mythology: Erlang Shen begins to show his divine power in the heavens

Chapter 12, Zhao Erlang and Li Erlang
In Guanjiangkou, I spent a few days of ordinary daily life with my parents, elder brother and three sisters.

Lin Yuan was ready to work hard for the remaining 20% ​​of his acting skills.

However, the Peach Festival will not take place until nine days in heaven.

He had nine full years on earth, so he didn't need to rush.

So, looking at the virtual panel in front of him, his mind immediately thought of other things.

"Speaking of which, what kind of Erlang Shen is the Erlang Shen of the Sui Dynasty?"

Lin Yuan had an idea.

Straight back to the real world.

Going back to reality.

However, the time in the world of Precious Lotus Lantern is completely still.

In this way, he won't have to worry too much, and he can even go to the Mountain and Sea World to take a look at his current strength and what level he is at in the Mountain and Sea World.

But he still planned to check what kind of Erlang Shen this Sui Dynasty was.

He knew that there were many versions of Erlang Shen.

The Erlang Shen that people are familiar with is actually a combination of various versions.

But Lin Yuan had not studied the specific versions in detail before.

real world.

In a simple and clean house, Lin Yuan stretched and looked out the window.

After spending so much time in the ancient world, returning to reality and looking at the tall buildings and the hustle and bustle of life outside, it felt like a lifetime ago.

It made him feel unreal.

in reality.

Although he was originally a small-time actor who played supporting roles everywhere, he actually had a good income and always had work to do, for a few years during school and two or three years after graduation.

However, he did save some money, and then with his parents' inheritance, he bought a house in this remote little city.

Not much, just a few hundred thousand.

He only has more than 10,000 yuan left in his hand now, but he doesn't need to eat, drink, or have fun. How can it be as interesting as traveling through the world directly?
But it can't be spent at all.

Those cats and dogs that he brought from the real world to the Shanhai World and the Baolian Lantern World were all stray cats and dogs that he caught directly, without spending any money.

"Let me find out what Erlang Shen of the Sui Dynasty is."

Turn on the computer and search on Baidu directly!

Get the answer quickly.

"Zhao Yu. Zhao Erlang? The governor of Meishan during the Sui Dynasty, which is now Leshan in Sichuan Province? He once killed an evil dragon and flew to heaven in broad daylight on a white horse. He is commonly known as Erlang Shen."

"Zhao Erlang?"

Lin Yuan was stunned.

"Zhao Erlang is the main Erlang God promoted by Taoism, also known as Qingyuan Miaodao Zhenjun. He once lived in seclusion in Qingcheng Mountain and studied Taoism with Taoist Li Yu."

The Complete Collection of Three Religions’ Gods states:
Qingyuan Miaodao Zhenjun, whose surname was Zhao and name was Yu, followed the Taoist Li Jue to hide in Qingcheng Mountain. Emperor Yang of Sui knew of his virtue and appointed him as the prefect of Jiazhou.

There are two rivers, Lingyuan and Yuanyuan, on the left side of the county. Old dragons are causing harm in the rivers. In spring and summer, the water level rises and floods the river, injuring people.

Yu was furious, so he set up boats and led the warriors and residents to make noise on both sides of the river. Yu jumped into the water with a knife in his hand. In a short while, the water turned red and the roars on the cliffs were like thunder.

Yu held the blade in his right hand and the dragon's head in his left hand, and rushed out of the waves.

At that time, there were seven people who joined Zuo Yu in jumping into the water. They were the Seven Saints.

During the chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty, he resigned from his official position and disappeared, his whereabouts unknown.

Later, the river overflowed and the people of Shu saw Yu in the green mist. Moved by his virtue, they built a temple at the mouth of Guanjiang River to worship him.

Emperor Taizong of Tang conferred the title of Divine and Brave General on him, Emperor Minghuang conferred the title of King of Chicheng on him, and Emperor Zhenzong of Song conferred the title of True Lord of Qingyuan Miaodao on him.

"Something interesting."

Lin Yuan read a lot and roughly understood the experience of Zhao Erlang, and had some idea of ​​his future role.

after that.

After reading Zhao Erlang's information.

Lin Yuan simply browsed through some other versions of Erlang Shen.

soon.

Except for Erlang Shen, who is promoted by Taoism.

He also found an Erlang Shen who was promoted by Confucianism and was also the Erlang Shen worshipped by the imperial courts of all dynasties.

Its
The King who protects the country with wisdom and wisdom.

He was also the governor of Shu County in Qin State during the Warring States Period and the son of hydraulic expert Li Bing, Li Erlang.

Legend has it that Dujiangyan was built with the help of Li Erlang and his father.

"Dujiangyan? Li Erlang?"

Keep reading.

The Monument of the Creation of the Two Gods' Spiritual Temple in Baiyun Palace records:
"The young man's name is Yu, and he is the second son of Li Bing, the governor of Shu. He assisted his father in eliminating floods and was given food in the temple. The people of Sichuan called him the Protector of the Country, the Spiritual Response King.

In the seventh year of Kaibao, he was given the title of King. In the eighth year of Jiayou, he was given the title of Duke Linghui. In the second year of Yuanyou, he was changed to Duke Ganying.

At the beginning of Chongning, he was promoted to King Zhaohui Lingxian. "

Although Lin Yuan has not yet obtained the "Zhaohui Lingxianwang" version of Erlang Shen template, it does not prevent him from learning about it in advance.

Maybe you’ll get it in the future?

Having roughly known the experience of Li Bing's second son, Li Erlang, Lin Yuan continued his search.

But apart from these two, they are more famous.

others.

The most famous one is Yang Erlang, who was introduced based on Journey to the West and Investiture of the Gods.

In the Investiture of the Gods, it is clearly stated that Yang Erlang's real name is Yang Jian, which is not mentioned in Journey to the West.

Journey to the West and Investiture of the Gods are vernacular novels and are the most widely circulated. Therefore, although the Yang Erlang they introduced is a later version, it is the most widely known today.

The rest are less famous.

What is Dujian and Dujilang.

This Du Erlang is also related to Buddhism, and can be seen as the Erlang Shen introduced by Buddhism.

After all, Taoism introduced the True Lord of Qingyuan Miaodao, and Confucianism introduced the King of Zhaohui Lingxian. As one of the three religions, Buddhism must compete for this Erlang Shen.

But obviously Buddhism did not win the fight.

This Du Erlang is not very famous and has no special title. All we know is that he is the son of Vaisravana and that he once helped Emperor Xuanzong of Tang to resolve a crisis.

but.

What aroused Lin Yuan's interest was.

The third brother of Du Jian and Du Erlang is actually Nezha, who is the prototype of Nezha.

In other words.

In some versions, Erlang Shen and Nezha are brothers?
Lin Yuan felt that these myths and legends were really confusing.

After reading the information.

Lin Yuan just lay on the bed, emptying his mind and thoughts.

It doesn't seem to make any sense.

But he quite likes this feeling.

Shortly after.

His figure disappeared right on the spot.

The world of mountains and seas.

A corner of the vast wilderness, a vast wilderness.

The very center of Duguangye.

A huge tree that reaches the sky stands tall.

That is Jianmu, which leads directly to the sky. It is the only way for gods to descend to the earth and for mortals to ascend to heaven.

Lin Yuan is at the edge of this Duguang Wilderness.

As soon as he appeared, he was surrounded by a group of cats, dogs and monkeys.

Even though Lin Yuan stayed in the Lotus Lantern world for a while, these cats and dogs are still the same as yesterday.

He squatted down, touched the cats and dogs, and his mood immediately became much happier.

"When we return to the Lotus Lantern World, it's time to find Roaring Sky Dog. As Erlang Shen, how can I be without Roaring Sky Dog?"

I think if I raise a Roaring Sky Dog, the degree of role-playing can be greatly increased.

As for the Roaring Sky Dog in this mountain and sea world.
He looked in one direction.

The Sky Eye emits a faint light, and can see through countless distances in an instant.

With the third eye, he now has more protection in this world of mountains and seas.

At least, you won't rashly enter the territory of some terrifying beast and get eaten for no reason.

The direction he was looking.

A huge, wild and ferocious beast, almost as tall as the sky, was walking on the ground as if taking a walk.

It is snow-white all over and shaped like a thin dog, but its size is extremely terrifying.

That is Tengu.

According to normal legends, he should have subdued the Heavenly Dog and made it his Roaring Heavenly Dog, but now he
"Forget it, forget it. The Tengu could probably kill me with one breath now!"

But that's it.

His divine eye suddenly saw.

The dog suddenly took a step forward, soared into the air, and headed straight for the sun in the sky!
