By the time we arrived at the airport, it was almost one o'clock in the morning, and it seemed that we had no choice but to fly with red eyes!

In the waiting hall, there were not many people, most of the chairs were empty, and the three of them found a relatively secluded position and sat down. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

As soon as I sat down, I saw Hong Kaiyuan staring at me with a strange look, and I knew that he wanted to ask me what I had done to that Hu San.

Considering that the taxi driver was present at the time, I didn't say anything in the car, except for my own ghost-like expression!

At this time, Wen Jing also looked over, and in desperation, I had to describe the incident to the two of them in detail.

By the time I finished speaking, Hong Kaiyuan's face had turned pale, and he sat on the chair without saying a word. Wen Jing's eyes stared straight at the advertising box opposite, her gaze glazed.

Seeing this, I had to sigh secretly, take another deep breath, and close my eyes.

After a while, I opened my eyes, and just wanted to speak, but I found that Hong Kaiyuan and Wen Jing were looking at me, but both of them had solemn expressions and solemn faces!

"Lao Qi, this matter is very serious, I'd rather believe it than not!" His demeanor is completely different from the past, I have never seen him appear so seriously. "This is because of me, and besides, we are all close friends, and it is unlikely that anyone will stay out of the matter now!"

"So, to be on the safe side, we should go straight to your hometown!"

Hong Kaiyuan finally burst out of this sentence almost from between his teeth.

The three of them glanced at each other in great accord and walked to the airline's service desk together.

……………………………………………………

On the same day, at noon, the three of them arrived at my hometown.

My parents were a little surprised when I suddenly came home, but when they saw me bring Wen Jing back, they were not only happy, but also enthusiastic. Obviously, they took Wen Jing as my girlfriend!

Taking advantage of the busy work of his parents, Hong Kaiyuan asked me if there was a legend about the meteorite iron in the village.

After thinking about it for a long time, I shook my head and said that there was nothing unusual about the village except that there was once a strange temple. Moreover, except for the foundation, the temple has now basically disappeared.

Originally, Hong Kaiyuan was already a little discouraged when he saw me shaking his head, but when he heard me say that there was a strange temple, he immediately became interested again, and hurriedly asked about the strangeness of this temple.

I told him that the reason why it was strange was because this temple was different from other temples in other places.

The first is its geographical location.

The general temples are built in the relatively secluded deep mountains or some sparsely populated places, but it is built at the entrance of our village, and the dense population is not much different from the vegetable market, let alone a quiet place for Buddhism!

The second is the name. Although it is called the Dragon Temple, the temple is not dedicated to the Dragon Lord or other familiar gods and Bodhisattvas, but seems to be a monster.

Although I have never seen these things in person, I have heard them all from my grandmother.

When she was sent to my great-grandfather's house to be a child bride, because she was still very young, she often played in the temple, and she had seen the clay sculptures in the temple. It is said that the statue is very large, at least five or six meters high, and there is nothing in the whole temple except this clay statue, and there are no monks and monks who are abbots here.

That strange clay sculpture, looking at the appearance, it is neither a Buddhist god nor a Taoist immortal, and it is not at all like the Bodhisattva gods offered in ordinary temples!

It had red hair, a hideous appearance, a very large head, and a large axe in its right hand, but its left hand was already gone!

So, my grandmother said that the clay sculpture was not only not like a fairy, but like a monster!

Seeing that I said something outrageous, Hong Kaiyuan was quickly a little interested, but Wen Jing kept frowning, as if thinking about something.

"Lao Qi, these things don't seem to have anything to do with what we're going to investigate, right?" Hong Kaiyuan obviously ran out of patience, "Is there anything else?"

"I thought of who the temple is offering for!" Wen Jing, who had been pondering, suddenly called out, her movement was a bit loud, which startled me and Hong Kaiyuan, and then the two of them looked at her at the same time with a black line.

Wen Jing also ignored it and continued: "In ancient legends, there is a great god who is a human face, red hair, and snake body, have you guessed who it is?"

"I know this, do you mean that the Shenlong Temple is dedicated to co-workers?" Hong Kaiyuan frowned, with a suspicious expression.

Wen Jing nodded, and said: "In this ancient mythology, Gonggong is the god of water, one is that he has always been at odds with the god of fire, and the two often fight, which can be described as incompatible with fire and water. ”

Hearing this, I pondered for a while, and then said: "These are just ancient myths, from some ancient books similar to the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", their authenticity cannot be studied, and there is no such record in the history books!"

Wen Jing was not very happy when she heard this, snorted in her nose, and said: "If you still don't believe it, even if there is a record in the history books, it may not be the truth! What happened in the past, who knows?"

"The girl is right, many official histories are not completely correct, and most of the time, the real history is hidden in some folk myths and legends!" Hong Kaiyuan also echoed.

After thinking about it for a while, I said, "Actually, I don't care if anything really happened in ancient times, what I care about is why there is a temple dedicated to Gonggong in our village? Moreover, this temple is in such a strange location, what did the ancestors worship him for? As far as I know, there are almost no temples dedicated to Gonggong in all parts of the country!"

Some people also say that in fact, Gonggong will be revered as the god of water because of his meritorious work in controlling water, and will it be because of his meritorious work in controlling water that he will be enshrined. But there are too many arguments to judge. Wen Jing continued.

"But the Gonggong is said to be in the Central Plains, it should be near the Yellow River Valley, and it shouldn't appear in Hunan?!" Hong Kaiyuan frowned.

I smiled and took over again: "Actually, the birthplace of Chinese civilization is in the Central Plains, and now many places are not aborigines, and most of them are migrated. ”

Hong Kaiyuan pondered for a long time, and then said to me: "I remember you once told me that your family surnamed Qi migrated from Shanxi and migrated here for at least more than 1,500 years. Obviously, this temple was built by your Qi family, because this village and several nearby villages are mostly surnamed Qi, and each branch is extremely prosperous. ”

If it is not an accident, the common people in the Yellow Emperor period are more worshipful of Gonggong, and it is also allowed. Therefore, I think that the battle between Zhuan and Gonggong in ancient legends should not have happened, otherwise Zhuan, who is also a descendant of the Yellow Emperor, would never allow his people to worship Gonggong. ”

"According to what you say, it's much more likely that the battle between Gonggong and Zhurong really happened?" Wen Jing thought for a moment.

Seeing that the more the two of them talked, the more digression became, I quietly took all the words: "I think, these relatively long-term things, let's not dwell on them, now there are many experts and scholars who have not been able to give an accurate answer, just by relying on us, it is estimated that we will not be able to figure out the reason." ”

"What's more, whether it is the official history, the wild history, or the folklore, all the information that has been recorded will more or less leave something relevant to the time, but it is not necessarily completely correct, the only way is to find evidence, which is the root of the problem!"

"Moreover, in the era when there was no written word, everything was passed down by word of mouth, and after a long time, there were many of them, and what was finally presented to future generations may be fundamentally different things! Therefore, we should all be skeptical of what happened in the past!"

Hong Kaiyuan and Wen Jing glanced at each other, but they didn't say anything, and looked at me at the same time.

I slowly took out a cigarette from the cigarette case on the table, lit it myself, took a puff, and said leisurely: "Actually, you don't have to be so depressed! Remember the story of the white cat and the black cat, the reason is very simple, no matter what kind of cat it was at the beginning, and no matter how it changed its flavor in the legend, we just need to grasp the core problem!"

"Don't sell it!" Wen Jing glared at me fiercely.

She was straight and anxious, and she couldn't see others beating around the bush with her, so she was extremely dissatisfied with my performance at the time.

I knew the consequences of Wen Jing's madness, so I hurriedly laughed and said: "The white cat has changed to a black cat, the color and process have changed, but it is still a cat!"

Both of them immediately became enlightened.

"Lao Qi's words are so reasonable, human beings started from the initial cognition, to the gradual production of language and writing, and then the brain power slowly became stronger and more civilized, but all the things that appear in the consciousness-consciousness-form-state should come from what they see and hear, although there will be some changes, but there should be a source, for example, the totems and other things created by humans in ancient times are all derived from nature, and there should not be many things fabricated out of thin air!"

"It wasn't until later, with the continuous improvement and enhancement of human intelligence, that the space for thinking became infinite, and from this point on, people had the possibility of fabricating something out of thin air. The most direct manifestation, just like our usual lies!"

Hong Kaiyuan talked eloquently, and Wen Jing and I admired his remarks.

I couldn't help but say, "You doctor really didn't blow it out!"

Wen Jing didn't care about my words, her eyes widened, and she said, "Fatty, according to what you said, those things that happened in ancient times are likely to really happen?"

"Bingo, I'll just say that people with our noble and fine royal bloodline are smarter, worthy of being my royal sister, unlike some people who know how to entertain people!" Hong Kaiyuan gave Wen Jing a thumbs up, and at the same time gave me a blank look.

I didn't bother to pay attention to it, so I smiled and said, "But don't you think it's off-topic?"

The two of them were stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted.

"I don't think we should be entangled in how the co-workers are, but this temple is obviously for co-workers, but why is it called the Shenlong Temple?!" I took a deep breath of cigarette and slowly exhaled it.

"Gonggong is the god of water, and it makes sense to say that he is the god of dragons!" Hong Kaiyuan glanced at me.

"Don't argue with the two of you, let's ask your uncle and aunt or grandparents together at night?!" Wen Jing was very dissatisfied when she saw the two of us raising the bar.
