Chapter 184: Dragon King Temple
Indeed, when the master said this, the group did feel that the big house in front of them looked more and more like a temple, although no one could tell what it looked like. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Hey, tangled fart, let ......" Liang Zai said with some disdain. It seems that now he is showing people the high quality of his deputy section-level civil servant.
However, before Liang Tsai could help him run, he was pulled by the master. What the master means is that if this is really a temple, you will inevitably win the seventh-level floating slaughter when you go down under your feet.
So Liang Tsai gave up, but stepped forward and slowly pushed open the door of the big house......
......
It was still the same as before, when the door of the big house was pushed open, a large patch of floating soil rushed to the face accompanied by an unlucky musty smell, which made people feel unbelievable.
So everyone quickly covered their mouths and noses and retreated.
After the musty smell and dust had almost dissipated, the group stood at the door again.
And at this time, everyone seemed to be convinced that this was a temple!
The reason is very simple, because everyone can see very clearly at this time that there is a tall shrine in the lobby of the house facing the door!
And in front of the shrine was a long offering table, on which there was an incense burner, and the incense burner was still full of ashes......
......
However, although the group had already determined the identity of this big house at this time, they did not feel immediately excited, but suddenly had an inexplicable panic!
The reason is still very simple, at this time they were the sculptures on the shrine...... I'm scared!
"Huh?!...... This is ......???!" Ye Qiu couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded.
"This, what kind of ......immortal is this enshrined?" Er Lei was also stunned.
That's right, at this time, this shrine is not dedicated to the familiar gods, such as the Buddha, Guanyin Bodhisattva, and Bodhi Ancestor, and then such as the Jade Emperor, Taishan Mother, and Erlang Zhenjun and so on.
Oh, yes? It's kind of rare...... But then again, among the three realms under the world, there are not a few Daluo immortals, and just the name that can be called is enough to have a reinforcement company. Therefore, at this time, it is not necessary to worship those who have a big face in this shrine, and the rest of the gods and goddesses may also be worshipped.
In the end, this matter should not be so restrictive.
However, no matter what kind of gods are enshrined in this shrine, it seems that there is no need to cause panic among the group......
......
"This, this, this...... What the hell is this?!" Ye Qiu said with some horror. Well, this kid is so open-mouthed, he dares to say what the gods and goddesses are enshrined in that shrine? It's really a bit disrespectful, look back and be careful that his old man goes to your house to check the water meter.
"..... Dragon, is this a dragon, ......right?" said Hachi, who also trembled a little.
That's right, although Xiaoba has no brains, but at this time he sees the real thing, and the great god enshrined on the shrine is obviously not human...... Ahh
"Hmm, could it be that this is a dragon king temple?" Lao Zhang blurted out.
Indeed, for these stunned young people who don't know the depths and customs at all, this temple dedicated to the dragon is naturally the Dragon King Temple, which is indeed not to be criticized.
Speaking of this Dragon King Temple, you will not be unfamiliar with it, at least you will not be too unfamiliar with this name. In many TV or movies, there have been scenes of people kneeling in front of the Dragon King Temple and begging for rain. Even viewers who have not seen this scene must have heard the afterword that "the water washed the Dragon King Temple, and the family does not know the family".
In reality, many areas of the Celestial Empire will have the existence and legends of this Dragon King Temple. The more famous ones are the "Dragon King Temple" on the top of Longshan Mountain in Changping, Beijing, as well as the Dragon King Temple on the side of Lugou Bridge and the Dragon Mother Temple in the east of Sojiatun Village in Haidian District.
And the most famous is the Hankou Dragon King Temple located at the confluence of the Han River and the Yangtze River. The famous phrase 'the great water washed the Dragon King Temple' comes from here.
Hehe, let's talk about it, if we don't make it clear here, I'm afraid it's not our style......
......
Legend has it that more than 4,000 years ago, there was an evil dragon at the confluence of the Yangtze River and the Han River, which often made waves and devoured passing ships.
When Dayu controlled the water, Baiguo Lao Xian was sent to descend the dragon, and after 108 rounds of battle, he finally caught the evil dragon, and pressed a square gold seal on the evil dragon, so that it would never wake up.
In order to remember the merits of Yu forever, the ancestors of Wuhan built a temple on the side of the Hankou River, and worshiped King Yu on the shrine of the temple, and worshiped the Dragon King under the shrine, so the descendants called this temple the Dragon King Temple.
Before the Qing Dynasty, the Hankou Dragon King Temple has always been the peak of incense, and the wind and rain on both sides of the strait are also smooth.
Until 1930, the national government built the road, and then demolished the Dragon King Temple and its archway.
Outcome...... Just one year later, in 1931, the Yangtze River flooded, flooding the entire city of Hankou for two months, killing 33,600 people!
As a result, the popular phrase "the ...... of flooding the Dragon King Temple" quickly spread among the people......
......
Therefore, this dragon king temple was originally built by the people in order to worship the king of Nayu and the dragon king, and to pray for good weather and rain. Of course, this only represents a good will of the people, and only God knows whether it is spiritual or not.
And now, the dragon king temple that appeared here should be just built by the villagers in that village in order to pray for water and soil.
It stands to reason...... Stop! The four old cats seem to have something to say at this time!
"I don't think this looks like a dragon......" The four old cats said in a daze.
"Huh, not like a dragon...... Hey, this serpentine torso with wings...... What is it if it's not a dragon?" Er Lei asked rhetorically.
"Hmm...... I feel like a snake ......," the four old cats said in a very dazed manner.
"What the hell? like a snake? Hehe, yes, the dragon is a bit like a snake. But I said Fourth Brother, I've heard of the snake painting, but I haven't heard of this snake with wings......" Er Lei said with a little smugness and a little mockery......
