This is the life of the world
Jin Shicheng, a native of Changshan County, Shandong Province, has always been unruly. Suddenly, he became a foot-walking monk, like a madman, eating the unclean things as delicious. The dog and the sheep were pulling in front of him, and he was lying on the ground and eating it. Call yourself a Buddha. Ignorant civilians and women were amazed by his strange behavior, and thousands of people were willing to worship him as a teacher. Jin Shicheng drank and ordered his disciples to eat, and did not dare to disobey it. It cost a lot of money to build the Temple Pavilion. People who are superstitious about him are happy to donate money. Changshan County, disgusted by Jin Shicheng's grotesqueness, arrested him and beat him up, ordering him to build a Confucius Temple. His disciples cried out, "The Buddha is in trouble! "Scrambling to raise money to rescue him." The palace of the Confucius Temple was completed in just a few months, and the collection of funds was faster than the pursuit and expropriation of the cool officials.
The Yishi clan said: I have heard that the Jindao people are called "Buddhas in this world" according to the harmonic pronunciation of his name. As for the character of eating filth, it has reached the bottom. Whipping him is not a humiliation, punishing him is just a little effective, how good is the punishment method of the county order Nangong! However, the collapse of the Xuegong would bother the demon, and it was also the shame of the scholar.
Editor: Jin Shicheng is a short story written by Qing Dynasty novelist Pu Songling. The text describes a man named Jin Shicheng, who behaved inappropriately, but after becoming the headmaster, he gathered tens of millions of people to build palaces and temples, and there were obvious signs of rebellion. The county commander was furious that he had deceived the people, and after arresting him, he ordered the temple to be repaired, but it was repaired by his followers in a short time. This is probably the real superstition!
Snake fetish
Lü Fengning, a servant of the township king Pu Ling, was born with a love of snakes. Every time he got a small snake, he swallowed it whole in his mouth, as if eating a green onion; the big snake cut it off inch by inch with a knife, and then picked it up and ate it. When chewing, there was a loud sound, and blood stained the chin. Moreover, the smell of Theling, who had smelled snakes across the wall, rushed outside the wall and grabbed a snake more than a foot long. He didn't have a saber on his body at the time, he first nibbled on the snake's head, and the snake's tail was still swinging back and forth around his mouth.
