Some tauren in Buddhist scriptures also act as "anti-logic people" to patrol and arrest fugitives.

The horse face is also called the horse head Luo Cha. "Luo Cha" is an evil ghost, so Matou Luo Cha is a Matou ghost. The image is a horse head and an old partner with a cow head.

1, "A Dictionary of Buddhism" (edited by Chen) and "A Big White Ox Cart" Hokkekyo uses a sheep cart as a metaphor for the sound of riding, a deer cart as a metaphor for the sound of riding, and an ox cart as a metaphor for the sound of riding of a bodhisattva. These three riding methods are all correct riding methods, and the big white ox cart is a metaphor for the Buddha's riding method. This trip is the real trip.

2. A story from Hokkaido:

It is said that Buddha is the parent of a big house, and the world is the children playing in the big house. Although the house is very big, there is only one door. One day, the Buddha knew that a big fire was coming, so he told the children to run away quickly. But the children didn't panic at all. They don't believe that a fire will happen in such a safe and beautiful house. Seeing that the fire was about to burn down the house, the Buddha said to the children, Come out quickly. I have something nice for you. There are sheep carts, deer carts and ox carts waiting for you outside. There are all kinds of toys in the cart, and there are rare seven treasures. The children thought of these things they liked and ran out to avoid the fire. But they didn't see the sheep cart, deer cart and ox cart mentioned by the Buddha, but the big white ox cart they never dared to think of, full of treasures, one for each person.

Annotation metaphor:

First of all, it takes the sounds, feelings and bodhisattvas of three carts (goat cart, deer cart and ox cart) as the temptation, and then reveals the highest state of happiness: the only Buddha riding (big white ox cart). This is to open three and display one. The length, width and height of this large white ox cart are 500 meters (about 3500 meters) respectively. Gold wheels, silver beams and gold-inlaid ropes are decorated with 84,000 precious clocks. Take all the buddhas and bodhisattvas in the car. The Buddha entertained us who held the Buddha (Lotus Sutra) and rode in this beautiful big white ox cart. You can run freely in this infinite universe forever in this big white ox cart.

Cow's head and horse's face (two demon followers of the king of hell)-all kinds of demons/evil/evil people

A long time ago, there was a gentleman named Ma in Fengdu. He was a chaebol in Fengdu. Supposedly, he should be satisfied, but one thing always bothers him, because he is sixty years old and has married eleven "wings" in succession. No matter how many times you make a wish to God, you can't get it. Needless to say, Ma Yun regards his only son, Ma Yichun, as the apple of his eye. But he was very worried that if something happened, it would not only break the incense of Ma's family. And the rich have no successors. For this reason, he was sad day and night and was at a loss. Unexpectedly, the house leaked water and it rained all night. One day, Mr. Ma had breakfast and was ready to go out and prepare dining tables and hold a wedding reception for his son who turned eighteen tomorrow. Coincidentally, just then, a figure of eight passed by the door with a word in his mouth: "fortune teller, fortune teller!" " "

When Mr. Ma heard the shouts, he was overjoyed and completely forgot to go out. So he hurried down the steps with his robe in his hand and respectfully invited Mr. Bartz to come in and sit on it. After tea, Mr. Ma said sincerely, "Sir, would you please count the lives of my children?"

Mr. Bazi nodded and said, "Yes, yes."

Mr. Ma immediately reported his son's birth time. Mr. Bazi was surprised and blurted out, "Oh, no!"

Mr. Ma was shocked and suddenly broke into a cold sweat: "What?"

"The villain is not convenient to say." Mr hachi shook his head and sighed.

Mr. Ma became more and more flustered, but in order to find out the truth urgently, he pleaded, "Sir, please don't worry, just say it."

Hachi hesitated for a moment and said, "Your young master's clothes are good, but his birthday is too short, too short!" "

"How much is it?"

"eighteen."

Mr. Ma fainted to the ground with a cry of "Oh, my God", and it took a long time to wake up, his face as white as dirt. Unexpectedly, the child's18th birthday tomorrow will be the end of his life. Think of this, it is a heartbreaking cry. After a long time, she sobbed and asked, "sir, sir, please try your best to save my poor son!" " "

Mr. Ba Zi thought for a moment and said, "What can mortals do? There's only one way. I wonder if members are willing to spend money? "

When Mr. Ma heard that there were other ways to consider, his heart naturally calmed down a lot. He quickly said: "As long as you can save your son, even if you lose everything!"

Mr. Bazi just told him: Tomorrow at midnight, you should prepare a table of the most abundant food and wine, put it in a box, take it to the first twelve steps of the "Death Gate", and then give it to two chess players. However, you should invite them three times in a row, wait patiently and don't be impatient. Mr. Ma has always kept it in mind.

The next day, when he arrived at the designated place, he found two people there absorbed in playing chess. These two are none other than bull's head and horse's face.

Mr. Ma didn't dare to disturb them, so he knelt quietly, put the box on his head and watched silently. When they finished playing a game of chess, he carefully asked, "Two immortals, please play chess after dinner!" " "

The two men seemed to be listening, but they didn't answer, so they played another game of chess. Mr. Ma waited until the end of the second inning, but nothing happened. He was a little anxious, but he didn't dare to offend, so he had to wait on his knees. After a while, Niutou suddenly put the chess piece down: "Brother Ma, let's go. It's time. " Horse face is also busy putting down the chess pieces, putting away the chessboard and preparing to go down the mountain.

At this time, Mr. Ma panicked outside and worried that he would miss the opportunity and miss the big event. He quickly raised his voice and shouted, "gentlemen, please eat before you go!" " The bull's head turned back and asked, "Who are you?"

When Mr. Ma saw that the time had come, he quickly said, "You two immortals have worked too hard. I think you are hungry at this time. I will prepare vegetarian wine and simple dishes. Please ask the gods to satisfy your hunger and thirst! "

Cow's head and horse's face couldn't help drooling when they saw this man's sincerity and the delicious food in the box. Ma Mian quietly said to the bull's head, "Niu Ge, we haven't eaten yet on this business trip. Let's have a full meal. It's hard to care about this person, don't you think? " Tauren has had this idea for a long time, but it is not convenient to say it. He nodded and said, "It's not too late to go down the mountain after eating." After talking, it's like the wind blowing away the leaves. I ate all the food and was about to leave. When I saw the delivery man still kneeling on the ground, I asked, "You must have something to ask us?"

Commissioner Ma quickly kowtowed and said, "I'm in trouble and need your help." Said and burned a pile of money paper.

Cow's head and horse's face felt embarrassed and had to say, "What do you want? Tell me quickly! I have something important to travel. "

"Two immortals, I only have one life, and my life is coming to an end. Ask the two gods to show your kindness. "

"What's your name?"

"Ma Yichun."

Tauren opened the "heady order" given to him by Cui Panguan. He was frightened and said, "Brother Ma, what we want to arrest is his son. Just not yet. I didn't expect ... This ... "

Commissioner Ma kowtowed again and again: "I would be grateful if the two immortals could extend his birthday!" The bull's head said, "It's not easy to do it!"

Mr. Ma was secretly anxious and had a brainwave. He turned to Ma Mian and said, "I have a brother named Ma, who is also the head of the underworld. If you don't do it, I'll have to go to him. "

When Ma Mian heard this, he thought, I know that in this underground world, from kings to ghosts, no one is called a horse except me. If this relative is me, but I have never met him, I tentatively ask, "My surname is Ma, too. I want to know who your brother is? "

Mr. Ma said in surprise: "As blind as a bat, it is difficult for a villain to write two words' horse' in one stroke. Thank you, brother. "

The horse said, "You said you were my brother. Why don't I remember? "

"After you went to the underworld, you drank ecstasy tea and completely forgot about the dead. Where can you remember? " The horse thinks what he said is true, and now it has eaten its food. If he doesn't do well, he will exchange glances with tauren. Tauren knows that in this case, we should try to give him some change as a personal favor. So, while intoxicated, I went back to Cao and forgot about it. When this matter was known, he sent Bai impermanence to inquire about it himself, and it happened. Yama right immediately flew into a rage, and immediately took the bull's head and horse's face to the temple. In order to make an example for others, in front of the ministers, he took responsibility for each of them, and then blew two evil winds. Suddenly, the cow's head and horse's face returned to their original shapes. Yama right saw that they really repented, so he cut the service of their officials and stayed in the underworld as an errand.
