Introduction on Wu Fang Tong Zi。 the Five
Immortal Boys of Summoning Souls
Wu Fang Tong Zi (五方童子或有稱為五方召魂使者)。 the Five Immortal Boy Assistants of the Nether World & Heavenly
Realm in doing the summoning of Souls & Spirits from the various Space
& Realms.
According to Taoist Scriptures (上清靈寶大法卷 Shang Qing Ling Bao Da Fa Juan / 先天斛食濟煉幽科 Xian
Tian Hu Shi Ji Lian You Ke / 朱陵九宮八卦煉度儀 Zhu Ling Jiu Gong Ba Gua Lian Du Yi) for the
Salvation of Souls & Spirits。 the Wu Fang Tong Zi are being mentioned and in the Scriptures。 these 5 Immortal Boys will being ordered by
the Deities & Lords of Salvation to perform the summoning of Souls &
Spirits from various Space & Realms to a particular area for getting the
Salvation Energies emitted by the Deities & the Taoist Priests.
According to Records。 while these 5 Immortal Boys are doing the summoning。 they will each carry a Flag。 a Lotus or Summoning Banner (with the Color
of the Direction) to do the summoning of the Souls & Spirits from the
particular Direction.
Once the necessary number of Souls & Spirits being summoned。 the Immortal Boys will lead the Souls &
Spirits to the venue waiting for the Salvation to take place.
From our Taoist prospect。 in the System for the summoning of Souls & Spirits。 usually Only these 5 Immortal Boys are being
recognized & being ordered to perform tasks.
Nowadays。 due
to commercial issues and money-making factors。 in the Folks Culture。 a lot of new Immortal Boys are being created。 which this is not accurate and Upright.
Before doing the summoning or creation of any Deities。 one self must be aware of the necessary
consequences and the results that affected the Whole of the Belief. For those
who tend to create nonsense & nuisance are not helping the very Own Belief
to promote the Upright Culture。 but to destroy or fasten the Death of the very Own Belief。 and so。 do be more consideration and careful on the decision made.
