Wandao long distance

Chapter 74
As for the reason why most of the ghosts will become muddled, it is also very simple.

There is a clear record in the "Human and Ghost" chapter of "Zhu": "If the dead are ghosts, you don't know it. How to test it? You don't know when you are not born. People are not born, they are in the vitality; Death, return to the original energy. The original energy is desolate, and the vitality is in it. People are ignorant before they are born, and their death is the root of ignorance. Therefore, in human beings, the five possessions are in the form. If the five possessions are not harmed, people will be wise and beneficial; Trust me, the one who used to store wisdom has already been defeated, and the one who used to be wise has gone. Form must be formed by qi, and qi must be known by form. There is no fire that burns alone in the world, how can the world be safe without a body that knows the essence?"

It means that if a dead person becomes a ghost, then there is nothing intellectually concerned, so what is used to verify this sentence?

It's very simple. When a person is not born, he exists in the vitality of heaven and earth. After death, he returns to the vitality.

The vital qi is vague, and the qi that constitutes a person exists in it. Therefore, before a person is born, he has no consciousness. After death, he will return to the original state of no consciousness. How can ghosts have consciousness?
The so-called reincarnation is just like this. There is no such thing as Mengpo soup. The underworld just recycles the qi of everything, and then washes it and puts it back into the heaven and earth to complete a big cycle.

The reason why people are smart and intelligent is because they contain the qi of the five constants. The reason why the qi of the five constants can exist in the human body is because the five internal organs are in the human body. If you are clear, you will be ignorant and demented if you are unconscious.

When a person dies, the five internal organs will rot. If the five internal organs are rotten, then the five permanent qi will have no sustenance.

The organs used to store wisdom have decayed, and the five constant qi used to produce wisdom have left the human body. Form depends on qi to form, and qi depends on form to produce perception.There is no fire in the world that burns independently of objects. How can there be spirit in the world that separates from the body and produces consciousness alone?
This is also the reason why the ghost will be detained within seven days. Within seven days, the five internal organs have not rotted. Although his five constant qi is already rootless water and sourceless fire, it still exists and can maintain short-term consciousness. After the corpse rots, it will be completely muddled.

The death of a person is like the extinguishing of a fire.When the fire is extinguished, the light ceases to shine, and when a person dies, consciousness also loses function.

Therefore, ordinary ghosts cannot harm people.

Just like the character Wei of chicken eggs, it dissolves in the pot, and when it collapses, it looks like the shape of water; when a good female lays down, the body will be formed, and after it is formed, it can be pecked.Madam's death is like the time of Yi Rong, how can the Qi of Rong Rong harm others?
When the eggs are not hatched, they exist in a chaotic state inside the egg shell. Only after the hen conceives and the body is formed can it be pecked or kicked with its mouth. After death, a person returns to the chaotic state. Such a chaotic state How can Qi hurt people?
And why can other ghosts harm people?
Because they used tools, it is the so-called drowning in water and fire.Anything that can harm people is a thing of the Five Elements.Gold hurts people, wood beats people, earth crushes people, water drowns people, and fire burns people.To make people die, the spirit is a thing of the five elements, which harms people; if it doesn't matter, it cannot harm people.If it is not a thing, it is gas.

It means that water and fire can drown and burn people to death, and all things that can harm people are made of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth.Gold kills people, wood kills people, earth crushes people to death, water drowns people, and fire burns people to death.

Therefore, if a person's spirit becomes the "thing of the five elements" after death, it can harm people, but if it does not become the "thing of the five elements", it cannot harm people. As long as it can resist the things of the five elements, it can resist the attack of ghosts.

These are all the knowledge Li Qi got from reading the book last night and asking Shen Shuibi.

Based on this knowledge, Li Qi can judge that the ghost he is facing now can not only harm people, but also curse. It can be seen that it should have preserved a part of its power, that is to say, his body is still there, there is no Totally spoiled.

In this case, the method of offering sacrifices to the "dead" should be used to sacrifice.

Because, for Zhu Ren, "dead" and "ghost" are two completely different concepts.

Li Qi muttered to himself: "There are also good and bad times in the calendar of sacrifices. If the blood taboo and the day of the moon are inauspicious, if you sacrifice animals for sacrifices, there will be disasters. The husband sacrifices are also offering food to ghosts; ghosts The spirit of the dead also deduces life from death, deduces people from ghosts, sees that living people have food and drink, and after death becomes a ghost, they can eat and drink again. , the etiquette of the matter is the same as that of the dead—"

This is the record of the method of offering sacrifices to the dead in the book "Zhu".

The explanation is that the practice of offering sacrifices to the living is analogized to offering sacrifices to the dead, and the dead are treated with the same etiquette as the living.

But the first sentence indicates that special seasons such as blood taboos and moon kills need to be paid attention to. At this time, sacrifices cannot be made, otherwise disasters will be caused.

Through knowledge, the season of sacrifice is determined, and there is no problem today.

So, let's get started.

According to the records in the "Zhu" book, the etiquette that should be used at this time is the food offering ceremony, which means the etiquette for offering cooked food.

The etiquette process is very complicated. First, wish people to enter, and then offer two beans, one bean for sunflower, one bean for worm sauce, and the bean for worm sauce is placed in the north.

Use a dagger to lift the body of the sacrificial animal from the container and put it on the zu, and set up a zu for worshiping the corpse, and put the zu on the west of the east step, and cover the zu with a power scarf. (Note: zu zu, an utensil for holding meat in ancient sacrificial offerings.)
Li Qi had already prepared these things for the Wang family yesterday.

Then, take the fish in, and set it on the east side of the pork, and the lamb is especially set on the north side of the pork and fish.

Set the two bowls containing millet and millet on the south side of Zu, with the west as the top.

The two pots for meat soup and vegetable soup were also placed on the south side of the beans, and they were placed in the south according to the beans.

At this time, the wisher should clean the wine jug and the wine cup, pour the wine, put it on the south side of the cup, then remove the Dun cover, and place it on the south side of the bowl.

Then, Zhuren stood up, stood on the right side of the altar, and began to speak.

"The spirit of the earth, Li Qi worships and welcomes you in the suburbs, the child is ignorant, disturbed and peaceful."

"Today, prepare enough sacrificial offerings, and invite them to rest... I beg your forgiveness, and eat them. If you are alive, can you sue me?"

This is asking for forgiveness.

Li Qi became nervous.

Because, the next step is: "Zhu Ying's corpse is outside the door. The master descends and stands on the east side of the steps."

What does it mean?
Technology, I wish people to invite the "corpse" to go up to the hall, and the owner to go down the hall, standing on the east side of the east steps, waiting quietly.

If the Lord has heard, it is time to come.

(The main body of this set of etiquette comes from the feeding ceremony in "Yi Li" of the Zhou Dynasty. I combined a part of the "Lunheng" of the Eastern Han Dynasty and some original rituals after ancient folk customs. If there are any similarities, please don't ask me.)
