What's the difference between a demon hunter and a Taoist priest?

It is the duty of Taoist priests to catch ghosts. Between heaven and earth, there is an evil thing called evil spirits, commonly known as goblins among the people. You can go to Baidu Encyclopedia: goblins (the essence and harm of goblins recorded in Taoist classics)

When people are attacked by evil spirits, there will be "ghosts on the bed" (people mistakenly think that ghosts are evil spirits) and poor luck in the early stage. Over time, people's persistence will be reduced and they will be possessed by evil spirits. When people are possessed, they often have auditory hallucinations, auditory hallucinations, auditory hallucinations, auditory hallucinations and olfactory hallucinations, even suicidal thoughts under the control of evil spirits, or indescribable extreme physical discomfort, or real incurable diseases, or hysteria, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, schizophrenia and even cancer, and some people are tortured to death. In the folk, this situation is often misrepresented as the possession of gods (or the gods above). ), and Taoist classics clearly record that the true God will never possess the human body ("Tao Hui Yuan? Jade Pavilion in the Temple of Heaven: "Everything is really immortal, and no one is attached to it. If people talk, it must be an evil spirit. ").

Evil spirits are evil things in the underworld. They are good at camouflage, deception, intimidation, double talk, and have no sense of moral shame. They often pretend to be "manifestations" of gods and buddhas, or pretend to be ancestors of patients, unjust relatives and creditors, and infant spirits. Or lie that you have a mission from heaven and lure people to be Ma Xian (some places call them witches, prostitutes, clowns and incense). These are all excuses for evil spirits to harm mankind.

Tao and law are the real laws that God taught mankind. Taoism is people-oriented, so Zhang Tianshi founded the method of slaying, which inherits the magic weapon of "slaying demons with double swords", which is a powerful proof. Taoist classics such as Taoist Hui Yuan, Tianxin Fazheng and Yutang Dafa all describe in detail the methods of exorcising and killing evil spirits. The so-called elimination of evil spirits and strengthening the body resistance is to cultivate healthy qi and drive away evil spirits.

To subdue evil spirits, one must be a Taoist with authentic Taoism and the ability to subdue evil spirits. Otherwise, it is not only ineffective, but also may be harmed by evil spirits.

As for monks, they have no obligation or ability to catch demons. All kinds of propaganda in film and television literary works are only art, and cannot be copied mechanically.
