Chapter 20 Chapter 18 Novel of Gods and Demons of Ming Dynasty (Part 2)

Chapter 18 Novel of Gods and Demons of Ming Dynasty (Part 2) There are one hundred chapters in "Fengshen Zhuan", but there is no title author in this edition.Liang Zhangju ("Wandering Continuation" VI) [1] said, "Mr. Lin Yueting (case name Qiao Yin) had a talk with Yu. The book "Fengshen Zhuan" was written by a famous scholar in the former Ming Dynasty. Occasionally read the "Shang Shu" and "Wu Cheng" chapters, "Only you have a god, but you can keep each other". This biography is derived. The deification of the gods is hidden in "Six Secret Teachings" (quoted in "Old Tang Book" and "Etiquette Records") [ 2] (quoted in Taiping Yulan) "Historical Records", "Feng Chan Shu", "Tang Shu", "Etiquette Records" and other books are extravagant and tricky, and they are not exhaustive." However, the name of the famous place is not mentioned.

The engraved version in the Ming dynasty in Japan is titled Xu Zhonglin (3) edited ("Catalogue of the Second Book of Hanshu in the Cabinet Library"). The preface has not been seen so far, so it is impossible to determine when it was written, but Zhang Wujiu wrote the preface to "Ping Yao Zhuan" , has reached "Fengshen", [4] was almost completed in the Wanli period of Longqing (the second half of the sixteenth century).The opening poem of the book says, "The ancient and modern biography of Shang and Zhou romances", which seems to be aimed at acting history, but talking about gods and monsters, even if it is fabricated, it is really just a fake Shang and Zhou dispute, and writing fantasies by myself is more empty than "Water Margin". , Fang's "Journey to the West" is inferior to its majesty, so so far no one has regarded it with a tripod.

"Historical Records" and "Feng Chan Shu" say, "Eight generals have been made since the Taigong." [5] "Six Secret Teachings" and "Golden Chamber. 〔6〕In the middle, there is also a record of Taigong's magical skills; Daji is a fox spirit, which is found in the note of Tang Lihan's "Mengqiu" [7], which is a talk about the gods and wonders of the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, and its origin is old.However, "Fengshen" is also the alley language of the Ming Dynasty. See "Zhenwu Zhuan", it may not necessarily be based on "Shangshu". "Fengshen Zhuan" begins with Xin Jinxiang Nuwa's palace, inscribing poems to imply the gods, and the gods ordered the three demons to confuse Zhou to help Zhou.The second to thirtieth chapters describe the tyranny of the Shang Dynasty, the hidden teeth, Xibo escaped disaster, Wucheng rebelled against the Shang Dynasty, and the war between Yin and Zhou was formed.Afterwards, there was more talk about wars, gods and Buddhas made mistakes, those who helped the Zhou were to explain the teachings, that is, Taoism, and those who helped the Yin were to cut off the teachings.I don’t know what it means to cut off the teaching, but Qian Jingfang ("Novel Congkao") [8] thinks that there is a saying in "Book of Zhou" and "Ke Yin Pian", "Wu Wang then conquered the four directions, and there are nine out of nine out of nine out of ten kingdoms, and there are hundreds of millions of demons." There are nine out of one hundred and seven thousand seven hundred and seventy, and there are two hundred and thirty out of three hundred million captives." (The text of this case is in "World Prisoners", which was misremembered by Qian Ou). This birth is a cut-off teaching.However, the Sanskrit language of "Moluo" has not been translated in the Zhou Dynasty, and the magic word in "Shichou Pian" may have been made into a mill, which should be a wrong word, and it is unknown.In the battle, each of them showed off their Taoism, causing casualties to each other, but the Jiejiao was defeated in the end.So King Zhou set himself on fire, Zhou Wu entered Yin, Ziya returned to the country to enshrine the gods, and King Wu divided the kingdoms to end.Confess the country to reward the meritorious officials, confer the gods to honor the ghosts, and the death of the gods and humans is entrusted to doom.During this period, the name of the Buddha was mentioned occasionally, and the famous teachings were occasionally mentioned, mixing the three religions, a little like "Journey to the West", but its root is just the opinion of alchemists.Among all the battles, only the leader of Tongtian, who cut off the teaching, set up the formation of ten thousand immortals, and explained and taught the group of immortals to break it together, which was the fiercest:

It is said that Lao Tzu and Yuan Shi rushed into the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation and enveloped the leader of Tongtian.The Holy Mother of the Golden Spirit was surrounded by the three great men... After using Yu Ruyi to parry the three men for a long time, she unconsciously dropped the golden crown on the top of her head to the dust and let her hair loose.During the battle, the Holy Mother met the Taoist who burned the lamp, sacrificed Dinghaizhu, and hit the door.Pitiful!exactly: Fengshen is the head of the star, and Beique cigarettes have been kept for thousands of years. The lamp-burning general Ding Haizhu beat the Holy Mother of Jinling to death.Guangchengzi sacrificed the Immortal Execution Sword, Chi Jingzi sacrificed the Immortal Slaughter Sword, Daoxing Tianzun sacrificed the Immortal Trapping Sword, Immortal Yuding sacrificed the Immortal Absolute Sword, and several black air burst into the air, covering the array of ten thousand immortals.All famous people on the Conferred God Stage were killed like chopping melons and vegetables.Ziya sacrificed to beat the magic whip, and did whatever he wanted.In the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation, Yang Ren used five fire fans to fan the flames thousands of feet, and the black smoke was lost in the sky. ... Nezha now has three heads and eight arms, coming and going in conflict. ...

Seeing that Wanxian was slaughtered, the leader of Tongtian religion was very angry in his heart, and shouted anxiously, "The long-eared Dingguang immortal quickly fetches the six soul banners!" Disciple Xuandu's disciples all have golden lanterns in necklaces and radiance covering their bodies, knowing that their backgrounds are upright, and it is wrong to stop teaching after all.He put away the Six Soul Banner, walked out of the Ten Thousand Immortal Formation gently, and went to hide under the reed canopy.exactly: The deep root was originally a guest from the west, hiding in the reed canopy to offer treasure banners.

It is said that the leader of the Tongtian sect...has no intention of fighting,...he wants to retreat, but is afraid of making his disciples laugh, so he has no choice but to hold on.Being beaten again by Lao Tzu, the leader of Tongtian sect got anxious and sacrificed a purple electric hammer to beat Lao Tzu.Laozi laughed and said, "How can this thing get close to me?" I saw an exquisite pagoda on the top; how could this hammer come down? ... I saw that the star officials of the twenty-eight constellations had killed them all; Zhiqiu introduced that the situation was not good, so he took advantage of the soil to flee.Seen by Lu Ya, fearing that he would not be able to catch up, he rushed into the air, opened the gourd, released a white light, and something flew out of it; Lu Ya bowed and ordered "Baby turn around", poor Qiu Yin, his head fell to the ground. ...Let's say that the Taoist guide opened the Qiankun bag in the Ten Thousand Immortal Formation, and received all the three thousand red-qi guests.Those who are destined to go to the land of ultimate bliss will be included in this bag.Zhunti and Peacock King Ming appeared in the formation with twenty-four heads and eighteen hands, holding the necklace, canopy, flower string, fish intestines, golden bow, silver halberd, white axe, flag, pillar, and divine pestle for blessing, Treasure file, silver bottle and other things, come to fight the master of Tongtian.Seeing Zhunti, the leader of Tongtian sect immediately lit up the samadhi, and cursed, "How dare you bully me too much, and come to disturb my battle again!" The Qibao Miaoshu is set up.exactly:

The method of infinite bliss in the West is the embodiment of the lotus flower. (Chapter 84) "Popular Romance of the Western Records of the Sanbao Eunuch" also has one hundred chapters, titled "Edition by Ernanli People".In the past, there was a narration by Luo Maodeng, Ji Luo Maodeng of Juqiu in Dingyou (1597) of Wanli (1597), and Luo was the author.The book describes the eunuch Zheng He and Wang Jinghong (10) in Yongle who served thirty-nine foreign countries and paid tribute to the salty envoys.Zheng He, "Ming History" (344 "Eunuch Biography") says, "Yunnan people, the so-called Sanbao eunuchs in the world. In the third year of Yongle, Minghe and his companion Wang Jinghong were sent to the West, and there were 27,000 soldiers and soldiers. More than 800 people spent a lot of gold and silk to build large ships...

From Liujiahe in Suzhou to Fujian, sailed from Wuhumen in Fujian, first arrived at Champa, then traversed the other countries, proclaimed the emperor's edict, and gave it to the emperor, and if he refused, he would be deterred by force. Seven envoys have been envoys successively, and the unnamed treasures taken from more than 30 countries in the history are incomparable, and the cost of China is also insignificant.After the Zihe period, all those who commanded orders overseas all praised the foreign countries for peace, so it is said that "the eunuch of Sanbao went to the West" was a grand event in the early Ming Dynasty. "Gai Zheng Hezhi had a great reputation in the Ming Dynasty and was loved by the world. After Jiajing, the Japanese plague was very serious, and the people were hurt by the weakness of the present, and they were trapped by stories, so they didn't think of generals but Huangmen, collecting vulgar rumors. In order to complete this work, the preface says, "Nowadays, things in the east are awkward. How can Xirong have a preface? It can't be compared with Xirong's preface. How can the king and Zheng Ergong see it?" But the book talks about weirdness and absurdity, which is quite similar to the preface The generosity does not correspond, the first to seventh chapters are about Elder Bifeng's birth, renunciation and conquest of demons; the eighth to fourteenth chapters are about Bifeng's fight with Zhang Tianshi; the fifteenth and following chapters are about Zheng He's seal, Recruiting troops to the west, with the help of Tianshi and Bifeng, killing evil spirits, paying tribute from various countries, Zheng He built a temple. There are quite a few legends in the alley, such as the stories of "five ghosts haunting judgment" and "five rats haunting Tokyo", all of which can be found here, so it is also its director. The story of the five rats seems to have been born out of a dispute between two hearts; After the war between the Yi and the Ming Dynasty, Guoshang was deceived in the dark, and received a lot of bad rewards, so he coaxed and attacked the judges. His reciprocal arguments are as follows:

... Five ghosts said, "Even if it's not subject to the smuggling law, it's Charlie who doesn't know." King Yama said, "Which one Charlie doesn't know? Listen to me." It was Jiang Laoxing who said at the beginning, "The little one is A general of the Golden Lotus Elephant Kingdom, who forgot his family and served as a minister for the country, why did he say that I should be sent to the Division of Punishment and Evil? From this point of view, isn’t it wrong to contribute to the country?” Judge Cui said, “The country How can it be called contributing to the country without suffering?" Jiang Laoxing said, "The southerners have thousands of treasure ships, thousands of generals, and millions of soldiers. They are in danger like a pile of eggs, and they say that the country is in no serious trouble?"

Judge Cui said, "How did the southerners ever destroy people's communities, devour people's land, and greedy people's wealth and goods? How can they be in danger like a pile of eggs?" Jiang Laoxing said, "Since the country is not in danger, how can I kill people endlessly?" He said, "The arrival of the southerners is just a letter of surrender, which is enough. He has never been intimidating to others, but you are all willing to fight. Isn't this killing people endlessly?" Bite the sea and said, "The judge is wrong .The 500 fish-eye soldiers from my country of Java make one sword and two sections, and 3,000 infantry cook one pot. Is this also our strong battle?" The judge said, "You all took it yourself." Yuanyan Timur said , "We split into four fights alone, is this also our forced battle?" The judge said, "You also took it yourself." The third prince of Panlong said, "I raise my knife to kill myself, isn't it his threat?" The judge asked. Said, "You also took it yourself." Baili Yan said, "Isn't it his threat that we burn to be a firewood ghost?"

The judge said, "You also took it yourself." The five ghosts yelled together and said, "What are you talking about taking it yourself? There is an ancient saying that 'the murderer pays with his life, and the debtor pays back the money'. He killed us in vain, how do you Make judgments for them?" The judge said, "I enforce the law selflessly here, how can it be called a false judgment?" The five ghosts said, "Since the law is selfless, why does he keep giving back our lives?" The judge said, "It shouldn't be for you!" The five ghosts said, "But just the word 'should not' is a private abuse." These five ghosts talk a lot, yelling and shouting, shouting and making a fuss.Seeing them coming fiercely, the judge had no choice but to stand up and shout, "Hey, who dares to talk nonsense here! I have selfishness, and my pen can be private?" The five ghosts walked forward together, snatched the pen, and said, "The iron pen is selfless. You have selfishness (silk) in the teeth of your spider-bearded pen, dare to say Can't be selfish?"... (Chapter 90 "The Five Ghosts of Lingyao Mansion Are Prosecuted") Sixteen chapters, Tianmu Shanqiao [11] preface Yunnan Qianzuo; Nanqian, Wu Chengdong said the Dharma name after becoming a monk.Shuozi Ruoyu, born in Wanli Gengshen (1620), enlightened at an early age, voluntarily recited the "Yuanjue Sutra" first, and then read the Four Books and Five Classics. He was able to write at the age of ten, entered Pan at the age of thirteen, and caught the bandits in the Central Plains After the chaos, he decided to make progress.At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Fa was sent to Lingyan, named Nanqian, named Yuehan, and other characters were very different. He did not live in the city for more than 30 years, but he was a friend of fishing and woodcutters. He was recommended as a Buddhist venerable. Quotations" [12] (Jiang Baoyangsheng's "Jiashen Chaoshi Xiaoji" in Niu Xiu's "Gu Remains Continuation"), and several volumes of ten kinds of poems and essays in "Fengcao'an Miscellaneous".After Yun Yi entered the "Three Tune Banana Fan", he talked about Konghuazhai, was fascinated by mackerel essence, and gradually fell into a dream, planning to find Qin Shihuang by driving Shanduo, driving Huoyan Mountain, wandering between, entering the Wanjing Tower, it was a big reversal, Either seeing the past, or looking for the future, suddenly turning into a beauty, suddenly turning into Yama, and getting the call of the master of the void, and then leaving the dreamland, knowing that the mackerel was born at the same time as Wukong, lived in the "Phantom Department", called himself "Qingqing World", everything The realm is all created by him, but there is nothing there, that is, the "emotion of the traveler". Therefore, "to understand the Dao, you must first break through the root of emotion, and to break the root of emotion, you must first enter into emotion. When you enter emotion, you can see the root of emotion in the world. Then go out of the situation and recognize the reality of the root of Dao" ("Question and Answer" at the beginning of this book).Its cloud mackerel essence, cloud green world, cloud little moon king; that is to say, love.Perhaps there are such words as "killing the great general" and "reversing the calendar" because it is said to be after the Ding Revolution, but the whole book actually has a lot of meaning to ridicule the world style of the Ming Dynasty, and there are few traces of the pain of the clan. Because it is suspected that the date of writing the book should be before the end of the Ming Dynasty (13), so there are worries about border affairs, and it has not yet entered the mystery of the Buddhist family. The second is Tang Seng, and the third is Mu Wang (Yue Fei): "Together the whole body of the three religions" (Chapter 9).However, his creation and speech are rich and colorful, suddenly and illusory, and the strange and sudden places are amazing at times, and they are always harmonious, and they are often brilliant, which is not what the writers dare to expect at the same time. Xingzhe (Shihua turned into Yu Meiren and resigned after the banquet with Lu Zhu's generation) immediately appeared in his original body, looked up, and it turned out to be in front of Nuwa's gate.The walker said happily, "The sky of my house was smashed open by a group of messengers sent by King Xiaoyue, and the crime was blamed on me yesterday.... I heard that Nuwa has been used to mending the sky for a long time, so I asked Nuwa to replace it today." I made it up, I cried to Lingxiao just now, after I understand it, this opportunity is very good." Going closer to the door and looking carefully, I saw two black lacquered doors closed tightly, and a piece of paper was pasted on the door, which read, "I went to Xuanyuan's house to gossip on the 20th, and I will return in the 10th. If there is a respected guest, I will punish you first." .After seeing it, the traveler turned around and left. He could only hear the rooster singing three times in his ears. It was almost dawn, and after traveling for millions of miles, Qin Shihuang just disappeared. (fifth round) Suddenly seeing a black man sitting on a high pavilion, the traveler smiled and said, "There were also thieves in the ancient world, and their faces were smeared with black coal to show the public here." After walking a few steps, he said, "It's not a traitor. It turned out to be Zhang Feimiao. Thinking about it again, "Since it is Zhang Fei Temple, you should wear a scarf...with an emperor's hat and a dark face, this person must be Dayu Xuandi. I went to see him and asked for some I don’t need to look for Qin Shihuang for the secret of controlling demons and killing demons.” Looking forward, I saw a stone pole standing under the stage, and a flying white flag was inserted on the pole, and six purple words were written on the flag: "Xiang Yu, a famous scholar in the early Han Dynasty." After seeing it, the traveler laughed, and said, "It's really 'don't think about the future, it's not as good as you think about it'. The old sun is suspicious,... whoever thinks something is wrong, but I am from the Luzhu upstairs. Husband Yao." At that time, he changed his mind and said, "Oh, my old grandson borrowed a Qushan Duozi for him to find Qin Shihuang, so he entered the world of the ancients. King Chu Bo was behind him, and now he has seen him. But why not? I have a reason: I went to the stage to meet Xiang Yu, and asked him the news of the first emperor, which is a good letter." Immediately, the traveler jumped up to take a closer look, and saw that under the high pavilion,... a beautiful woman was sitting , I only hear the name "Poppy Poppy" in my ears. ... Immediately, Xingzhe shook his body, still turned into a beautiful woman, and went up to the high pavilion, took out a foot of ice from his sleeve, kept covering his tears, only half of his face was exposed, and looked at Xiang Yu with resentment and anger.Xiang Yu was shocked and knelt down in a hurry, the traveler turned his back, Xiang Yu flew to kneel in front of the traveler again, and called, "beauty, I have pity on the person on the mat, let's have a smile."Xing Zhe didn't make a sound; Xiang Yu had no choice but to cry with him.Just now Xingzhe blushed, pointed at Xiang Yu and said, "Stubborn! You are a great general, and you can't protect a woman. What face do you have sitting on this high platform?" Xiang Yu just cried, but he didn't dare to agree.Walker showed a little unbearable attitude, and raised his hands and said, "As the saying goes, 'A man has gold on his knees. You must not kneel indiscriminately from now on!"...

"Old Tang Book·Etiquette Records" quotes "Six Secret Teachings" as saying: "Wu Wang defeated Zhou, the snow was more than ten feet deep, five chariots and two horses, and there were no tracks, and he went to the camp to ask for greetings. Wu Wang was strange and asked, and the Taigong said: 'This must be the gods of the five directions, come to take care of things.' So they were called in by their names, and each was appointed according to their duties. Since then, Yin has been conquered, and the weather has been smooth."

The preface he wrote said: "As far as "Continuing the History of the Three Kingdoms", etc., it is like a patient talking nonsense." 〔5〕Here, the phrase "eight generals have been created since Taigong", the original text of "Historical Records Fengchanshu" is "eight generals have existed since ancient times, or they have been created since Taigong".This is quoted from Volume 7 of Liang Zhangju's "Returning to the Field". 〔6〕The "Golden Chamber" is said to be written by Lu Shang in the Zhou Dynasty, an ancient military book.
