About Chifeng folk tales: Horse King Temple monk
Chifeng was originally a commercial port, quite prosperous, the three religions and nine streams are gathered here, beliefs are mixed, what the God of Wealth Temple, the Dragon King Temple, nine temples, the Temple of the Immortals, the mosque, the Evangelical Church, the Luban Temple, the Lama Temple, the Temple of the Old Masters, what is for all of them.
Chifeng has a local hysteria, called Ma Wang Temple monk? Eat monks. Before the liberation of the two streets have a horse king temple. When this temple was built, no one knows, but there are three oddities: First, although the name is called Horse King Temple, which is for the Buddha, the left and right side of the temple were for the spirit of the horse Marshal and the landlord, the three gods live in one place, do not interfere with each other. Secondly, the structure of this temple and unusual temples are different, a door is a wall? Not a wall, but a block of brick wall sealing the sky and cut off the ground tightly, can only turn right and straight line, only to the main hall, the axis and the temple door into a ninety-degree angle; the third oddity, is that this temple lived in three, four monks, these monks are a little lame legs, they do not share what the abbot know the guest, but also never do morning and evening classes, and does not take the rituals, and even the clock is too lazy to ring. They open the temple door every morning on time, from the next door to the folder store to buy a few pairs of folder skin child? Pair of folder is Chifeng snacks, shortcrust pastry with bacon, the pastry itself is very fragrant, so some people only buy the skin to eat? Right as a vegetarian, and then pull out a table and stools, sitting there to sell incense, the evening darkness will close the stalls closed. The temple relies on this incense money to live.
Don't look at this temple small monk lazy, incense is not bad. The temple's three halls have no incense burner, only in the small square resting on a large copper square mouth incense burner. There are customers want to come to incense, go to the monk to buy a stick of incense, want to worship which side of the God, on the side of the temple door to worship, worship and then inserted into the corresponding side of the incense burner to go. The three gods were divided into three sides, among which the incense burned the most vigorously for Master Tu Di, and the incense burner on that side was always particularly full, like a hedgehog with an arched back. According to the old generation, the land master is not a general immortal, called the okapi Da Xian, okapi is Chifeng dialect, pronounced Lai (a) dai (soft), meaning wolf on the steppe. Mongolians have a special worship of wolves, Chifeng is a mixture of Chinese and Mongolian, this belief has been passed over, and the Central Plains of the weasel Huang Daxian Legends mixed together into the Chifeng local land master? Daxian in the temple is still the traditional clay statue of the landlord, clay molded in color a kind old man, eyes gleaming. The only difference is that there is an extra hatha around his neck. So the locals sometimes call the Temple of the Horse King the temple of the okapi.
Relying on the temple of these incense, these Horse King Temple monks live a very nourishing, every now and then can go out to a pavilion, to go to Chifeng was the most famous hotel Lu Mingchun, meat and fish are not taboo, wine can also drink. Over time, the people have a saying: ? Mawang Temple monk? Eat monks?
These monks are the ones who have the most important job in the world, and they are the ones who have the most important job in the world.
These monks were initially invited from where, no one said clearly. There are foreign leather merchants passing by, said listening to the monk accent like Guanwai, may be fleeing over the beard. However, these monks in addition to laziness, but never cause trouble, one of them will also be a bit of medicine, can help the neighbors to see a headache and brain fever Wood, the neighborhood residents did not think y.
Worshipping God is similar to opening a restaurant, the more people you have here, the more people come to you here. The incense of the okapi is getting more and more prosperous, far more than the other two, a square incense burner is almost impossible to insert. There are local gentry proposed, why not simply invite the big fairy out of a single temple, so as not to be in this small temple with the people blindly crowded. Horse King Temple monks heard, not to do, they all rely on the immortal life it, move away from them can all have to drink the northwest wind.
Jinyin gentry are powerful people in the local area, said you all worship Buddha, this fairy and you do not relate to, must be moved. As a result, in a few days, one morning, the monks opened the door of the temple to see, the clay statue of the Great Immortal half-hanging in the air, hanging from the beam, the eyes are bulging out, the neck is still bolted to the white Haddad.
The monks said that this is the great immortal is unwilling to leave, to die clear will. Everyone is happy, which has the immortal hanged, must be the monks deliberately ghost. The red gentry are not polite, directly reported to Chifeng County, the county governor sent the police, to the charge of bewitching the public a ancient brain to arrest them all.
It is strange, the next morning, there are strange things happen. The first day the monks were arrested, incense burner incense no one to clean up, but to the next day, the original leaning against the side of the big fairy inserted full of incense, less than two thirds, all run to the Buddha and the horse king side to go. Some people said that this was pulled out by Da Xian himself, meaning that he didn't want to leave and would rather share the incense with the other two. Others said, "No matter how powerful he is, he is only a land god, how can he be more powerful than the Buddha? Usually he repeatedly take up incense, upset the Buddha, this is to make amends. The first thing you need to do is to get your hands on a new one, and you'll be able to do that.
The county magistrate did not believe that there must be a leakage of monks hiding in the temple, and searched inside and outside, nothing was found. The county magistrate had no choice but to move the incense burner, the temple door with a large seal. Not two days later, the county magistrate because of the handling of flag affairs offended a Mongolian prince, was a paper to the Monastery, removed from office. Everyone said that this is the immortal sins, but in the end is the horse king manifestation, the Buddha manifestation or the great immortal manifestation, no one can say. So another saying was passed down, called "Pluck the incense and remove the stove". "I don't know what kind of gods I've offended, but I'm not sure. I don't know what kind of gods have been offended?
The newly appointed governor of the county has stayed in the ocean, do not believe in these things. He interrogated the monks about their origins, the monks could not get the ultimatum, and did not speak. The county governor had to use some means, beat them screaming, even the street can be heard. From that day onwards, the temple began to haunt the demon, often in the middle of the night out of the crying and screaming, open the door to check, no one, the idol of the Horse King is missing a few pieces, as if by what animals gnawed down like. The county governor does not believe in evil, from the Chaoyang invited a few monks into the temple, did not stay for two days, the monks were scared away, said nothing to stay, said that the temple is too evil, a few statues at night with the living as if they were staring straight at people. This guy, scared the residents of the neighborhood do not dare to stay at home, have asked for the release of the monks. The county governor had no choice but to put the monks back to the temple, the strange things immediately all gone. The county magistrate said that because of the investigation of no evidence, to be released, behind the scenes secretly went several times to the three streets of the Evangelical Church, and soon converted to God.
After this, the reputation of Mawangmiao's Da Xian became more obvious. The first time I saw this was when I was a student at the University of California, Berkeley, and I was a student at the University of California, Berkeley, and I was a student at the University of California, Berkeley. Once in the temple door, he told his companion that the temple strange. The company was happy to say that you do not sheep to become a Mr. Feng Shui?
The first time I saw this, I was able to see a lot of people in the neighborhood. He heard the herdsman muttering, and went over to show his papers and asked him what was going on. The herdsman told the police chief that the structure of the temple was somewhat like a wolf's den. Grassland wolves such animals, especially cunning, their nest is not a big hole, nest entrance is especially narrow, once inside, there must be a big corner. This way, the outside world does not know the reality inside, guns and bows and arrows can not hit in a straight line, the smoke is also not good to go, who wants to climb in, the wolf is guarding the corner, whimpering is a mouthful. There is an old saying that the wolf can't be trapped by a child, and this is the case. The wolf's den is too narrow for adults to get in, so they can only let the children climb in, and once the children have climbed over the corner, the people outside will not be able to see, and life and death depend on the children's luck.
The prairie is full of wolves, and this Ximeng herdsmen have played a lot of wolves, and are familiar with their habits, so when they look at this Horse Temple, they actually turn a big corner, and the wolf's den is like that, and they immediately feel familiar with it. The police chief heard this and hurriedly reported this to his superiors. The police station chief of Chifeng at that time was appointed by the county governor, he heard, and immediately called a few jinshi, so this arrangement.
The local jinshi stepped in and said that the great immortal protects the party, and since they do not want to move, they intend to donate money to rebuild the golden body. Monks refused to do, said the jinshi not molded gold body also line, donate a gold seat can. This time the monks have no choice but to agree. In a few days, the gold seat to do, is a lotus flower in the shape of the platform, outside a layer of gold plating, is very delicate.
On the day of the ceremony, the county governor and a group of red gentry elders went. Craftsmen put the lotus platform, and then the statue of the immortal to lift up. This lift is not good, something happened. This lotus gold seat looks like a flat bottom, in fact, the edge of the lotus petals of different sizes, easy to sway, plus the top of the clay like so heavy things, a center of gravity is not stable, clatter fell to the ground.
In full view of the public, Da Xian's clay tires were crushed by the fall, from which actually fell out of an old wolf's dry body. The wolf's head was split open and spread out flat, with the wolf's eyes on both sides facing the statue's two eyes. The scene was in an uproar, the county governor immediately ordered the monks to be arrested. The monks want to run, but they are limping, which is as good as the officials like wolves and tigers.
The clay statues of Lord Ma and Lord Buddha were also smashed. The Buddha's statue hides the dried body of a fox, also the head is cut open flat, eyes on the Buddha's eyes. The horse king is innocent, there is nothing inside. Officials quickly posted a notice, saying that these monks are the Northeast ran over the beard, the body of the back of human life, so in Chifeng anonymity. Now has been returned to the case, the day will be clear punishment clouds. But Chifeng ground also circulated another legend, said the temple of the okapi that a few monks are lame change, so the front legs lame. Liao is not born and bred, is a wolf and fox mating hybrid to give birth to, so these monks to their parents to offer up, crowded the place of the horse king.
It is said that those monks escorted to the penal colony halfway, was Chahar's beard to save, and re-fall into the grass as bandits; some people say. Save the monk is not a beard, but a large group of wolves, those wolves halfway to the execution team to the group surrounded, dead and alive do not go. Until the captain released, they only flocked to the monk left. When they left, some people saw with their own eyes, those monks are the upper body lying on the wolf, slowly leave. After a few years, the prairie wolf plague is particularly fierce.
After this, the okapi was banned on the face, but privately the people believe in more, said that the wolf wolf spirit, can be transformed into a human form, it has to be more powerful. The government does not allow them to secretly worship. To this day, on the east side of Xinglong Elementary School on Tou Dao Street, there is another hutong called Da Xian Temple Hutong, which used to be the place where the okapi were sacrificed. The hutong was so narrow that two people had to walk side by side. At the end of the hutong was a brick wall with no door, but a large door frame. This was a simple and crude example of the wolf's den system of the Ma Wang Temple, which was designed to make it more comfortable for Da Xian to live in. In the door frame written on the three words of the immortal shrine, of course, the okapi is not dare to write.
The people who believe in this are here on the incense and set up sacrifices, the more the more the spirit, and then I do not know who added a small plaque to the door frame, on the book: there will be a response to the request. Over time there is another Chifeng local hysteria: Da Xian Temple plaque? The first time I saw this, it was a very good idea to have a good time.

Weng Niu Te Banner Fanzong Temple from Tibet to invite the first living Buddha thing in folklore is circulating a magical legend.
The thirteenth year of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty (1674), the third generation of Wengniuet left-wing flag Zasak Prince Bile stick Dalai went to Beijing on duty. At that time, the Xicheng Hui people cult rebellion, the court sent the army to calm the rebellion failed, blood stained the Zangzhou River (borrowed word). When the court sent troops for the second time, Emperor Kangxi asked Prince Bileljang Dalai of Zasak, the left-wing flag of Wengnute, to lead an army to quell the cult rebellion. After bringing his troops into Tibet, Prince Bilbang Dalai paid a visit to the Fifth Dalai Lama, Laobu Monk Zamus, and asked him for advice on how to quell the rebellion. The Dalai Lama strategized on how to quell the cult rebellion, and recited a mantra to give Prince Bilalai a brocade brimmed hat, and gave the soldiers protective knots. They used the troops according to the instructions of the Fifth Dalai Lama and put down the cult rebellion in one fell swoop. The Emperor promoted Prince Bilalai to the rank of County King after he was successful in quelling the rebellion. Billet stick Dalai County King after the completion of duty, back to Wengniu Te Banner Wang Fu, set up a shrine to pay homage to the Fifth Dalai Lama Enth given the brocade tour cap.
A few years later, the king died. The most beloved thing when the king was alive was the brocade hat, so in order to commemorate his merits, princes and officials put the brocade hat on his head to be buried.
Another few years later, I do not know where the demons to the king's house, a night, from the north to a group of dark honor guards, demon teeth and claws, sitting in a car, a group of bull-headed and horse-faced demons surrounded by the car, front and back, drove into the king's house. Demon wind rise, the king's gate and the main courtyard of the doors and windows of the split automatically open, demons gathered in the lobby, ghosts and monsters harassment of the king's mansion, making a mess. The king and his family, the House bureaucrats and servants are hiding into the cross courtyard (compartment), closed to pray for divine protection
blessing. At that time, the fourth generation of Wengqi Zasak Prince please Yin and Yang Xian went to the House to break the bloom, but also did not subdue the demons. So he sent ambassadors to the capital to ask Zhangjia Ge Gen to subdue the demons. Zhangjia Ge Gen from the capital came to Wengqi four ditch beams, he stayed on the top of the beams with a discerning eye remote vision to recognize the demon. Zhang Jia Ge Gen pointed to the northeast direction from the seam of his robe and said: ? Please see, one of the demon's legs is on the top of Yima Tushan Mountain, and the other leg is on the top of Duck Chicken Mountain. This demon is extraordinary, I can't subdue the ground, to subdue him I have to invite my master to do so. To ask my master to find me another day, I give you ideas. Said Zhangjia Ge root return to the capital.
The ambassadors returned to the king's residence, reported to the king Zhangjiagang Ge Gegan's instructions. The king chose two shrewd and capable ambassadors to ride steeds to invite Zhangjia Gegan's master. The two ambassadors went to the capital to pay a visit to Zhangjia Ge Ge Gen and asked for advice. Zhangjia Gegegen said to them? You go to Tibet, inquire about so-and-so place, there is a small temple there, there is a hotel in front of the temple, there is a donkey-riding lama often come to the hotel to drink, you invite him and you will be able to achieve great success! The two ambassadors according to the Zhangjiajiagen's instructions westward, trekking through the mountains, through the dangers of the sky, walking for several months, one day inquired about the small temple. They dismounted and went into the hotel to eat while waiting for the lama, not long after, a lama riding a donkey, holding two leather wine pots, came to the hotel. The two ambassadors carefully looked the man up and down, and as the lama resembled the Shishu Tu of Zhangjia Gegen, they approached him and sat down around the table, and invited the lama, saying: ? We in order to invite the Venerable Master, specially from the eastern land of Wengniu Te Banner to come here, Qing Venerable Master subdued the devil, universalizing all sentient beings!!!? The Lama listened to this and nodded his head in agreement with a slight smile. The two ambassadors were very happy and toasted the lama and filled two leather wine pots with wine. After the meal the lama said: ? Time is short, the journey is long, we will leave tonight! By then, it was already very late in the day. Traveling west for several months, the two envoys are exhausted, intend to live a night to rest for a while, tomorrow morning, I did not expect the venerable master tonight, the two envoys do not dare to disobey, had to immediately set off.
The lama rode a donkey, and the two ambassadors rode a horse and set off east. Rushed to the middle of the road, the lama let the two envoys walk in front, he took out the back of the leather wine bottle frequently drinking, drunken need to the two envoys shouted:? Quickly! Quickly! Quickly hurry! In this way, the fast horse and whip all night to rush I do not know how many roads, the more you go the lama urging the tighter, the louder the shouts. The two ambassadors were exhausted, but did not dare to slow down, suddenly the lama asked:? Is it close to your hometown? The two ambassadors thought of several months of travel, which can not be completed in one night, in any case, first promised to rest is important, so quickly said:? We are close to our hometown! The lama also said: ? I think so! Dismount and rest! Not long after, the dawn of the two ambassadors took a close look, they have come to the Baorihot west side of the north slope of the mountain Yima soil, they both feel very surprised, the lama asked:? This is your hometown? The two ambassadors said:? Yes! Yes! The lama said: ? You two quickly back to the King's Palace, reported to the King, to prepare a Hao Gu Bao, a table and offerings, ready to send in a hurry!
The two ambassadors back to the Royal Palace to report to the King, in accordance with the Lama's instructions, ready for all the necessary supplies and offerings. Delivered, the lama has come to the Chagan Bure Ula (now Chang Hanbushan) on the east side of the hillock waiting for Hou. The royal family people hurriedly set up yurts in this place, set up offerings and offerings, and lit three lamps, all the arrangements are ready. Lama said: you all go back to the king's house to avoid a, can not stay here, after a while will be a gust of wind, the wind stops all of you to come back to this place to receive me.
The king's ambassadors back to the house, the lama began to do magic, see him put on the robe, cross-legged and pick up, mouth recitation. In an instant the clouds rolled, the sky is dark, windy, flying sand and stones, wind rolled with flying stones like claws to the yurt:? The yurt was blown away by the wind and the sand and stones. A sound, the yurt scraped away, but the three lamps shine brightly, divine light protection, demons and monsters can not get close to the lama. Lama stretched out his right hand with a snap of his fingers to retrieve the fifth Dalai Lama gave the County King Bilal stick Dalai brocade Shu brimmed cap, subdued the demons.
At noon, when the wind stopped and the sky cleared, the king and his officials, led by two ambassadors, came to greet the lama. Lama wearing a robe, eyes slightly closed, left hand holding the burial of County King Bile stick Dalai's brocade brimmed hat, right hand raised in front of the chest chanting cross-legged meditation, calm and natural look. Offerings on the three lamps, still shining, the king went to bow to the lama with palms together, and invited: ? Venerable master to subdue the devil's merits are infinite, I am the left banner of the Wengniu Te Banner Zasak Prince, waiting for the Venerable Master's presence to give advice! The Lama reprimanded the Prince: ? You filial piety ancestors, why accompany the burial of this brocade Shu brim hat, while the demon out of the occasion I just subdue it, otherwise it is difficult to predict! The king and officials heard the lama's admonition, all kneel down and kowtow, praying for blessings. A grand welcoming ceremony was held to invite the lama back to the next not for the sake of the king's residence, honored as Hitugan Lama (revered lama).
After a few days, the lama himself went to inspect the grave of the county king Bilbong Dalai. The Lama commanded: ? Although the demon has been subdued, in order to eliminate the danger, the king's grave must be moved out and buried in another place with good feng shui. So the county king's grave moved to the northeast of the Chagan Burei mountain, Huanghuagang mountain south foothills. In the grave set up Saqi, so called this place for Sachin Tara (now the three-star Tara).
