Chapter 462 The Five Auspicious Beasts Come Down

Xuanwu was originally the god of the north in ancient mythology. It was the seven constellations of the northern part of Taoism, one of the four symbols. It is the seven constellations of the twenty-eight constellations. Its image is the turtle, also known as the turtle snake platform. It is located in the north and belongs to the water and color, and is collectively called "Xuanwu".

Xuanwu Star Lord is: "Dou Sushi Star Lord, Niu Sushi Star Lord, Female Sushi Star Lord, Xu Sushi Star Lord, Wei Sushi Star Lord, Wei Sushi Star Lord, Room Sushi Star Lord, and Wall Sushi Star Lord." As for his image, Volume 7 of "The Must-Use Collection of Taoist Education" says: "The northern Xuanwu, Taiyin is transformed into a new form, Vacuum dangerous surface, Turtle and Snake Platform, Pan Wan, Dominate All Spirits, Come to my right."

The four light columns represented by the Four Sacred Beasts lasted for more than a minute and then disappeared. The monks thought they had passed, but unexpectedly, at this moment, five light columns of different colors shot down from the sky, which happened to be located in five directions, southeast, west, north, and middle.

As for this movement, Shu He was also attracted by the attention, walked out of the living room and looked out into the sky.

"He'er, what's wrong? But what happened again." Everyone in the calligrapher also walked out and asked Shuhe.

"It's a good thing. The catastrophe in the Qiankun Realm has completely passed. Now the four saints are coming to the world, and the five auspicious beasts are actually auspicious. From now on, there will be no catastrophe in the Qiankun Realm for ten thousand years." Shu He said with a smile.

"He'er, we know the four sage beasts, but what are the five auspicious beasts?" Li Nan asked with a frown.

"Auspicious" means good, which means auspicious; auspicious beasts are auspicious divine beasts.

They have been around since ancient times to this day. The five auspicious beasts in ancient times are Pixiu, dragon, phoenix, qilin, and turtle.

According to legend, Pixiu is a ferocious auspicious beast, and this kind of beast is divided into females and males. The male is called "Pi" and the female is called "Xiu". But now it has not been divided into males and females. In ancient times, this kind of auspicious beast was divided into one horn and two horns. One horn was called "Tianlu" and the two horns were called "Vixiu". Later, there was no one horn or two horns, and it was mostly designed with one horn. In the south, most people like to call this kind of auspicious beast "Pixiu", but in the north, it is still called "Vixiu". As for Tianlu, few people use it to call this kind of auspicious beast, and some people call it "monster" or "Sibuxiang".

Pixiu is fierce and mighty. It is responsible for patroling in the sky, preventing demons, ghosts, plagues and diseases from disturbing the heaven. It is an ancient auspicious beast with a single horn and a double horn. The one with a one-horned one is called Tianlu, and the one with two horns is called evading evil. Pixiu is called evading evil. Its shape is short wings, curled tail, and mane.

Wuge Mountain has peach pulling, lions, and urinating cows in the country." Meng Kang's notes: "Peach pulling, one day's talisman is drawn, which looks like a deer's tail long. Those with one horns are called Tianlu, and those with two horns are called Pixiu." Violation pulling is Pixiu.

It can attract wealth from all directions, gather treasures, only in and out, and has special magical powers. It is said that because Pixiu violates the laws of heaven, the Jade Emperor punishes him to eat only and not pull. Therefore, Pixiu feeds on wealth, and takes food from all directions, and is a treasure collecting treasure, which also promotes official fortune.

Dragon has the meaning of the emperor. In ancient times, those with double horns on the head were called dragons, and those with single horns were called dragons; those without horns were called dragons. In ancient times, jade pendants often had two dragons of big and small, called mother and son Chi. Legend has it that dragons gave birth to ninth ranks, which were distinguished as: the clan son was vigilant of niu, the second son was Yazi, and the third son was ridiculed of wind and risky; the fourth son was bullied and carried heavy burdens; the fifth son was bullied and flirted with lawsuits; the sixth son was kidding and swallowing; the seventh son was Taotie and feasted with gold and fireworks; the nineth son was Pulao and feasted with pussy. Among the nine dragons, only the fourth son was bullied with

Its weight-bearing appearance looks like a dragon, and is called a stele beast. It is known as a god-like turtle. It is mostly called a dragon turtle among the people. Legend has it that Nuwa used her four feet to support the sky that was knocked down by Gonggong. Because the dragon turtle is good at carrying weight, it means that it can block disasters and reduce disasters for people, and it has the effect of conserving houses and developing families, and blessings and protecting sentient beings. Among the people, dragons are like men, and have now become the representative of the most noble mascot in the minds of Chinese people. Women have new standards, such as magical martial arts, strength, excellence, and a symbol of wealth control.

The phoenix is ​​the "king of birds" and is also the most famous auspicious bird in ancient times. The prototype of the rooster among the twelve zodiac signs is the phoenix. The phoenix is ​​originally a male, also known as the sun bird. It also has the characteristics of heavy body from fire. Like the non-death bird in the West, it is also called the fire phoenix. The dragon is originally negative, and it is the representative of water-active objects.

For thousands of years, the phoenix has been regarded as a symbol of beauty, auspiciousness, kindness, quietness, virtue, nature, following the way of heaven, advocating humanities, achieving peace, and towards light.

Most of the time, couples love each other or wish people a perfect marriage. In the records of ancient books, the phoenix is ​​a pretty bird, and its singing and demeanor are the king of birds. It can bring good fortune to the world, and it also has the special spirituality of "not dwelling on the paulownia tree, not eating without bamboo, not drinking without sweet spring". Because it is the length of "feather insect", the dragon with the long "scale insect" gradually becomes a pair in legend, one becomes more and more, and the other has a beautiful virtue, which becomes a pair in folk customs. Moreover, because the dragon symbolizes the ultimate yang, and the phoenix (the phoenix is ​​the male, the female is the phoenix), which is originally divided into yin and yang, gradually becomes a representative of pure yin after facing the dragon. Legend has it that the phoenix gave birth to a male eagle, the eagle gave birth to a peacock, and the peacock gave birth to a turtle dove. It makes people sigh that one generation is worse than the other.

The texture of the turtle is secret. The ancients have always believed that the turtle hides the secrets of the world, so it has become a mysterious and rich cultural connotation. At the same time, because the turtle has a very long lifespan, it has become a symbol of longevity. People often use "turtle age" to describe people's longevity or jointly with "cruciate age" to call "turtle age and crane life" and "turtle age and crane equality". Since ancient times, people have trusted it to bring auspicious energy. Turtle has become a spiritual object for the pioneers. Placing jade turtles can transform yin and replenish yang, regulate the balance of yin and yang and natural magnetic field in the room, and can replenish luck and wealth. Using jade turtles to maintain a house can be safe and safe, auspicious and wealthy.

Qilin, Pixiu, phoenix, dragon and turtle, are called "Five Spirits", and Qilin is "Five Spirits". As early as the Zhou Dynasty, there was a legend of Qilin in our country. The most specific record is that in the book "Mao Shi Zhengyi" says: "The unicorn, a moose body, a horse's foot, an ox tail, yellow hair, round hooves, and meat at the end of the horns". Legend has it that Qilin is gentle in nature, does not walk on insects, does not break grass, has horns on its head, and has meat on its horns. It is a virtuous beast. Therefore, emperors of all dynasties have loved Lin and regard its presentation as a national cherry to show their outstanding imperial power and the imperial edict shows Qingming.

People regard Qilin as a mascot. According to legend, any place where Qilin stepped on will bring good luck to the people there, so there is "Qilin auspiciousness". In traditional culture, Qilin is a symbol of auspiciousness. There has been a saying that "Qilin comes out of a prosperous era". At the same time, the people also believe that Qilin is a lucky beast that eliminates disasters and solves problems, drives away evil spirits, protects houses and avoids evil spirits, and promotes wealth and promotion.
