Chapter 8: Confrontation or Strife (10) (6)
The old man replied that the inscription has the word "governance". The former one is indiscerning, and it should be the name of the dynasty when the monument was erected. In the Ming Dynasty, there was "Hongzhi", and in the Qing Dynasty, there were "Shunzhi" and "Tongzhi", which had to be identified by professionals. It is also necessary to comprehensively determine the origin and intention of the stele through the content of the inscription. Looking at the content of the inscription, it should be a merit monument for the people to raise funds to build a temple. The names of these people listed later are the good believers who donated money and food.
When Yang Xiande heard this, his eyes immediately released a thief's bright light. He said, thank you, Mr. Mu. He also instructed the xylophone, no one is allowed to touch this stele and move it around, and send a few reassuring people to take care of it. I will arrange for someone to go to the county and ask experts to appraise it. Before the identification, if there is a slight mistake in this stele, I will ask you.
Xylophone also felt that this stone tablet had some origins, and the stakes were very high. She hurriedly said, don't worry, I'll take care of it.
At this time, Zhenshu came up and volunteered to take care of it. Yang Xiande nodded in agreement, saying that this stone tablet was excavated by you first, and you have a credit. It's up to you to take care of it, and you're more at ease than anyone else. He waved his hand again to disperse the crowd of onlookers, saying that he would do whatever he needed to do, and hurried back to implement the spirit of the meeting. I'll let you know when the results are out.
After the crowd dispersed, Zhenshu immediately realized that the appearance of the stele would bring a major turning point for his great cause of building a temple. He couldn't keep his mouth shut. He was not in a hurry to dig the foundation, so he asked Shiji and others to build a shack next to the stone monument, and asked someone to move his own bedding. He squatted and guarded these magical stones, and did not dare to leave for a moment. Even when it was time to eat, I asked my family to bring it. At night, he slept on the stele.
Jin Lian has also been here a few times. But she couldn't recognize a few words, so naturally she couldn't guess the purpose of the stele. However, with Old Man Mu's words, she knew that her prophecy had been confirmed. Jin Lian was not overjoyed, but still had that indifferent expression. The more he looked like this, the more he was admired and respected by Zhenshu and the villagers.
The next day, Yang Xiande really brought two people from the county museum to the village. These two people took professional utensils and carefully cleaned the stele, measured it, rubbed the characters, identified the stele body decoration, and looked through the books to check the comparison. After more than two days of tossing and turning, the preliminary appraisal conclusion was come up.
This stele records the Shunzhi period of the Qing Dynasty, when the people raised funds to build temples. At that time, the name of the temple was "Immortal Temple".
The text of the stele reads:
Raise the new immortal temple to lead
It has always been called a saint to make up for the heavens, and to establish a miraculous cultivation is to be called an immortal. The only thing that the people of the world depend on is God, and the gods rely on the temple alone. Therefore, from the imperial court and the capital, the famous mountains and rivers, there are all temples of the past dynasties to the rituals of the ages. The god of sincerity relies on the temple to manifest his spirit, and people use the god to protect him, which is clear through the ages. The gods □□ the spirit of the earth have a year, the □□ is mighty, the □ virtue is □, there is no wind and frost intrusion, rain and snow drift zero. Those who pay incense and wish are looking forward to □□ day by day. The sacred tree on the top of the peak, the rui qi is steaming, the crown of heaven and the wilderness, covering all living beings, and the golden spring on the top of the mountain, the lotus blossom gushing, unblocking the East China Sea, nourishing the blessed land. Heavy mountains and rivers, full of people, small resorts, contempt. There are no morning bells and dusk drums everywhere, and there is no shortage of autumn and spring prayers. Seeing the peasants and workers are all guests from other places, who sighs the sorrow of not having the temple□□□□□□? Every Christmas, to enjoy the worship, as for God to be sincere to the people to celebrate, the people with the Holy Spirit with tin blessings.
(The following is the first believer, counting 156 people, omitted)
When the Qing Dynasty Shunzhi was nine years old, it was □□ in May Bingyin Hitachi. [End of Chapter]
