    Later, the underworld slowly appeared. The earliest ones were gods of mountains and rivers, each in charge of their own place and protecting the ghosts and gods under their rule.  So in the earliest times, the mountain god was also the god of the underworld.  The places where souls are sheltered under their rule are called blessed lands, which belong to different places and are not connected to each other.  Therefore, ancient alchemists called it the Blessed Land of Cave Heaven!  Later, Buddhism was introduced to China, and the world was in chaos at the end of the Han Dynasty.  Many knowledgeable people were stimulated by this.  Decided to recreate the world and reorganize the order between humans, gods and ghosts.  Then came the emergence of Taiping Dao and Wu Dou Mi Dao. Taiping Dao focused on treating people and wanted to reorganize the order of humanity.  But Wu Dou Mi Dao turned his attention to the ghost path of the underworld!  At that time, Zhang Daoling taught the Five Pecks of Rice Tao in Qingcheng Mountain, Sichuan, also called the Tianshi Tao.  However, in early historical records, the Taoist sect he inherited was called Ghost Tao.  Taoist disciples are called "ghost soldiers" and "ghost soldiers", and Taoist leaders are called "ghost officials".  The Celestial Masters of later generations were of the same sect, and they were best at catching ghosts and exorcising evil spirits.  This is not without reason!  Whether it is the land of Bashu or the Central Plains of Xia, Shang and Zhou, in ancient times.  The most popular thing is ghost witches.  As the Central Plains dynasty slowly evolved, only the land of Bashu, a remote place at that time, still retained the witchcraft and ghost skills of ancient times.  According to legend, Zhang Daoling preached the gospel, cut down mountains and destroyed temples, and killed all kinds of ghosts and gods at that time.  Not even ancestral beliefs are allowed.  There are also legendary battles with eight ghost commanders and six ghost kings.  These are actually the corporate forces of primitive witchcraft.  Later, foreign monks were fond of chanting sutras, and Zhang Daoling defeated the power of those primitive witchcraft religions.  Either they were killed, or they were suppressed and surrendered.  After the eight ghost commanders and the six demon kings of the witchcraft failed in the battle, they were transformed and assimilated by Tianshi Tao. Today's "Demon Subduing Stone", "Pen Throwing Tank", "Heart Washing Pond", etc. on Qingcheng Mountain are the legends after the battle at that time.  And this Taoist at that time inherited the early ghost Taoism.  The emphasis is on controlling millions of ghosts, slaying gods and ghosts, and recreating humans and heaven.  It¡¯s more similar to when Taiping Dao Cang Tian was dead and Huang Tian should do this!  Therefore, he was the first to propose the idea of ??equalizing wealth and poverty.  He wants to recreate the three realms of heaven, earth, and human beings, and completely drive him out of Buddhism.  Let the world be peaceful and all people live and work in peace and contentment.  Established the Taomen Dynasty which combined politics and religion.  I don't know if this Taoist priest's idea is greator ridiculous!  Ignore him, Wen Fei is a common man.  Don't worry about these things at all. Anyway, the world is still peaceful now.  Although there are still various problems that make those angry young people very dissatisfied, their life is not too bad at least Wen Fei has a muddle-headed temperament and does not dwell on these things.  I just want to find the method of cultivation from this Taoist's memory.  Speaking of which, this Taoist has worshiped in quite a few sects. He even learned some spells from the Tianxin Sect, which had not yet been formally established as a sect at that time.  However, his main practice at first was the Taoism of Beidi Sect.  The most important thing about the Beidi Sect seems to be the Canopy Curse. It is said that reciting the Canopy Mantra can invite the generals of the Canopy to descend to earth to eliminate demons and evil spirits.  Of course, this General Tianpeng was a great god who sat down under Beidi, and he was very dignified.  At that time, his status was somewhat similar to that of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, who had the great ability to follow the sound and rush to rescue people in distress.  It¡¯s definitely not that Marshal Tianpeng from Journey to the West!  However, with the decline of the Beidi Sect after the mid-Song Dynasty, few people recited the Canopy Mantra.  Few people worship General Tianpeng anymore, and his status cannot be compared with the status of Guanyin Bodhisattva in the future.  Wen Fei wondered if it was related to this Taoist, which prompted the Northern Song Dynasty court to vigorously crack down on the Beidi Sect, causing this Taoist sect, which was extremely popular at the time, to be almost wiped out in the long river of history.  Of course, this matter had nothing to do with Wen Fei. He just sighed casually and threw it aside.  Although the Canopy Curse is powerful, no one has worshiped this great god for thousands of years. It seems that even if it still exists now, the power of the god is probably very low.  Let¡¯s look at other spells!  In fact, Wen Fei is most interested in ghost magic. I remember that back then, Wen Fei was short of money, so he wanted to practice the Five Ghosts' method of bringing money, and asked the Five Ghosts to move some money for him from the bank and spend it But he had to practice  To achieve this spell, you need to sacrifice and refine a Ghost Emperor Seal.  Represents the power of the Ghost Emperor and commands all ghosts.  The most important magical weapons of Taoism are the sword, seal, mirror, and bell.  These four magical instruments are indispensable in many places, but there are no strict regulations on the materials used to carve them. Wood, stone, jade, and metal will all work.  Of course, the better the material, the better.  Wen Fei remembered that there was an ancestral Yang Pingzhi Du Gong Seal, which was made of jade and was seven cents thick, one and a half inches long in width and square in shape.  One is called the Dayang Pingzhi Du Gong Seal, seven cents thick, two and a half inches long each, made of jade and gold.  There is also a seal given by the imperial court in the fifth year of Jiajing reign of the Ming Dynasty to Yang Pingzhi Du Gong. It is engraved in silver and has double lines. It is seven cents thick and five cents long each. It is a Ganoderma lucidum button.  It can be seen that even the style has no certain rules!    Wen Fei thought about it for a long time and suddenly remembered that he still had a piece of good jade in his hand.  It took a few days to find a skilled craftsman to carve this piece of mutton-fat jade into the jade seal of the Ghost Emperor.  After it is carved, it will be crystal clear with almost no flaws.  If other people saw this piece of beautiful jade, their eyes would probably pop out.  It turns out that Wen Fei had such a bad taste that he actually made this jade seal to look like the national jade seal.  You ask about the jade seal passed down from the country?  Nonsense, it is naturally the one carved by Heshi Bi.  The first emperor of Qin ordered Li Si to write in the seal script "If you are ordered by heaven, you will live long and prosperous", with the words "Kowloon hub" written on it.  The famous treasure in history, passed down from the Qin and Han Dynasties to the Five Dynasties before mysteriously disappearing!  Of course, these are just some of Wen Fei's little bad tastes.  Of course, the seal below will not be "Ordered by God, you will live forever".  It was an ancient seal script that was even more difficult to recognize than Yun seal script. Wen Fei didn't know what the content was.  " This jade seal is really priceless now, but in Wen Fei's hands, it really doesn't cost much.  Don¡¯t forget, he, a time and space dealer, sold a lot of Hetian jade ore back.  In later generations, Hetian jade is almost gone, so the price is naturally rising all the way, making it extremely expensive.  The Song Dynasty was blocked by Xixia, and the Hotan jade from Xinjiang was naturally extremely valuable.  But in Xixia, the price of Hetian jade is average The territory of the Xixia people is in today's northwest Gansu, northeast Qinghai, Inner Mongolia and northern Shaanxi.  It stretches to the Yellow River in the east, Yumen in the west, Xiaoguan (now Tongxinnan, Ningxia) in the south, and the desert in the north. It covers an area of ??more than 20,000 miles and even extends to Xinjiang.  This Hetian jade is also an important export material of Xixia.  Wen Fei made several transactions, and apart from the medicinal materials, Tibetan antelope fur and horns, this jade was the most valuable.
