Wang Xizhen, a 23-year-old female Taoist priest, announced that she would become a naturalized immortal, and nearly 100,000 onlookers watched, with an unpredictable ending
Many people chase fame and fortune all their lives, but in their old age, they also want to live a long and healthy life. Some people even choose to become a monk in order to pursue the so-called Tao, and this kind of cultivation is a good choice for individuals. However, in the process of cultivation, there is a legend of Taoist monks who have succeeded in cultivation and ascended to become immortals, which is of course nonsense, but it is just a lie to deceive the world and steal his name!Besides, no one has ever seen anyone soar into an immortal!
During the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, the 23-year-old female Taoist priest Wang Xizhen claimed that she was about to become an immortal, and after people heard the news, about 100,000 people gathered**, what is her fate?
Wang Xizhen was born in a good family, smart since childhood, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and is the hostess of the family. However, she is sentimental, soft-spoken, and has several older brothers at home, and the girl's presence feels severely restricted.
When she reached the marriageable age, the family promised to find her a sister-in-law, and it stands to reason that Wang Xizhen would live a stable life like other women, but fate was not good, and a series of changes completely shattered this illusion.
When she and her husband were ready to get married the day before, her fiancé died suddenly and the wedding was canceled, but due to the influence of feudal thinking, the matter did not end, people thought that Wang Xizhen was destined to resent her husband, so she did not get married, and her husband died early, such rumors spread among the neighbors, Wang Xizhen was affected by these rumors, depressed, and even really!He believes that the early death of his fiancée is his fault.
Later, by chance, he met a Taoist priest, and also began to read some Taoist books, influenced by ideological concepts, Wang Xizhen decided to become a Taoist priest, anyway, it is not good to stay in the world, for a woman, her relatives do not take care of themselves, because of such a marriage, everyone blames her husband, and there will be no man willing to marry him in the future, return to the mountains and forests, be a quiet and inactive Taoist, return to the mountains and forests, and be a quiet and inactive Taoist.
Although her secular life did not bring her happiness, under the deep inspiration of the Taoist priest Wang Xizhen, she had a deep understanding of the Taoist school and its related theories, so much so that she later became a woman admired by Taoists, and even the door of the literary scholar Feng Menglong to study Taoism was opened to her, which shows how great her influence is.
After Wang Xizhen stayed for a few years, one day she suddenly announced that she had cultivated to the realm of consummation of merit and was about to ascend to immortality, after the news was leaked, it immediately attracted the attention of many local believers, but there were also many ordinary people who rushed to **, after all, they had never seen such a gathering, as more and more people heard the news, the number of people gathered reached nearly 100,000. What does this mean?
It is said that Wang Xizhen predicted that he would climb the mountain on the ninth day of the first month of September, everyone wanted to come, only to see him sitting motionless on a stone, and everyone did not see anything unique, so he waited for more than half an hour, just when everyone suspected that this was not a lie, Wang Xizhen suddenly had a soft foot, and the whole person fell to the ground, and the little Taoist priest and his party came forward to see that he was no longer breathing, and when everyone called him back, Wang Xizhen was already dead.
This can confuse the people who couldn't see clearly in the past, and the person really has no signs of life, does this really mean that he has become an immortal?Is it that ordinary people can't see clearly, or is this just an oolong incident, is Wang Xizhi really deceiving everyone, what kind of emotions are behind this?
In fact, the so-called Feihua is not what Wang Xizhi said, what he wants is to fly to the fairy world, he can feel his limit in the future, due to the rapid deterioration of his physical condition, he has reached the point where his life is in balance, and his face is black, and his face is also dead, and the facial features of ordinary people are completely different from ordinary people, which can not help but confuse people, why did he die in such a way??
This reason is also very simple, that is, Wang Xizin usually takes too much elixir, and the toxins in the elixir are not discharged from the body in time, accumulate in the body, and eventually lead to poisoning and death, and taking the elixir is also this reason, because since ancient times, Taoist priests seek immortality, destroy the essence of heaven and earth, and increase their own cultivation, not only can they prolong their lives, even if they are immortal, they can also go to the immortal class.
Such a statement makes people obsessed with alchemy, from the Qin Dynasty to Qin Shi Huang, from the Tang Dynasty to Tang Taizong, from the Ming Dynasty to Emperor Jiajing, he has not been in court for more than 20 years, just for the so-called"Elixir of life"Under his influence, more and more people have joined the industry of alchemy longevity and healing, prejudice and naivety, not only can not prolong life, even if it is immortal, it is not impossible to be listed as an immortal. There are also many people who are biased and take panaceas indiscriminately.
And this kind of panacea is basically based on lead, mercury and other heavy metals as raw materials, refining some precious medicinal materials to achieve the purpose of curing diseases or prolonging life, itself does not have any curative effect, but the heavy metal poison exceeds the standard, the human body will have a slight discomfort will occur, but if this situation continues for a long time, it is inevitable that heavy metal poisoning will occur.
On the contrary, ancient medicine did not conduct rigorous research in this area and did not pay attention to this issue, and as a result, many people died because of the abuse of panacea. The absurdity is that these people think that the elixir can make people more perfect, but in fact, the elixir contains a lot of toxins that are difficult to excrete from the body, and death awaits them.
From this incident, we can also see that the level of science and technology in ancient times is backward, people are generally ignorant and ignorant, it is difficult to make correct judgments, I have to say that they are very miserable, but from another point of view, they are also very miserable, secular life is full of problems, and people under feudal rule live very difficult.
In order to change the status quo and strive for a better life, people can only pin their hopes on the afterlife. If we cannot attain happiness in this world, we can only pray for a good life in the next life, and this desire blinds people, causing them to follow their beliefs, fall into delusions, and ultimately harm others and their wealth.
