【Chapter 189】 Thunderbolt on a sunny day
accompanied his mother and quiet into the sea of people, and his mother still did not forget to explain Lu Zheng in pieces.
"Son, there's a real dragon here. It's not a joke, I'll go up the mountain later. Don't talk nonsense, if you touch the dragon lord's moldy head, it will be troublesome to bring some disaster to our family. ”
"Mom, the dragon king isn't so careful. Rest assured. ”
"It's not in shape at all, so how can my mother rest assured. When we go up the mountain later, it's crowded, so don't get separated from us. ”
"Mom, I'm not a child, I can't lose it. ”
"Our family is just such a lone seedling as you, and if you lose it, you will be in trouble. In his mother's eyes, Lu Zheng seems to be a child who will never grow up, and he needs to be instructed and worried.
The team that sent the dragon lord back to the palace were all the people of Shuangqiao Town, and they were sincerely respectful to the dragon king.
The crowd followed by local people and tourists from other places, crowds of people rubbing shoulders one after another, talking and laughing loudly, children noisy, a festive and peaceful scene.
Qingjiang Longwang Temple is built in the Liquan Peak on the periphery of the Yegou Mountains, the mountain is majestic, and the forest is handsome. Liquan Mountain not only has good scenery, but also has a clear waterhole on the top of the mountain a few decades ago, and there is a clear spring at the bottom of the pool, so it is named Liquan Mountain.
However, the spring became clogged and the pool dried up, leaving only a large pit.
After the people donated to build the Qingjiang Dragon King Temple, the site was specially discussed when the site was selected, and finally because of this big pit, it was settled here. This is also exquisite, the dragon and water are inseparable, where there is a dragon, there must be water, the dragon temple all over the country, either there is a pool, or there is a well, to the poor also have a canal.
If there is no water source, this Dragon King Temple is just an empty temple, and it is not bright.
It is obviously not practical to make a temporary well in the mountains. This natural puddle is just encircled in the backyard of the Dragon King Temple, artificially filled with clear water, and a monument is erected on the edge of the pool, which is called Longtan. It means the abode of the dragon king resting.
After half an hour of winding and wriggling, the mighty human dragon finally arrived at the main gate of the Dragon King Temple.
A stone carved archway hung with red silk and saffron, behind it is the towering temple gate, the big red corridor pillar glazed tile, and the bluestone road of the vermilion lacquer temple gate. There is a gold plaque on a blue background hanging on the door, which reads: Qingjiang Dragon King Temple.
A couplet on the left and right pillars is written majesticly:
Super four seas are king, and the function is matched with the land.
Mai group of dragons and stand on the pole, virtue can reach the sky.
There is also a one-person high turtle stele at the door, and the crowd is crowded and can't see what is written, but there is no doubt that it must be written to praise the great achievements of Qingjiang Longjun in saving the people and in danger.
This camel monument is not a turtle, but one of the nine sons of the dragon, also known as Baxia. Bearing a heavy weight, symbolizing longevity and auspiciousness.
Lu Zheng's heart beat a small drum, he had already turned into a real dragon and was out of the realm of mortals. The legend of the dragon giving birth to nine sons has a long history, and even Lu Zheng doesn't know whether it's true or not.
The dragon's nine sons, all of them are strangely shaped and have strange personalities, and it would be too painful if they had children in the future and really took on the appearance of turtles.
The dragon king's palanquin stopped at the door. Immediately, someone began to build the altar, invited the shrine of the dragon lord to the altar, and arranged the incense and candle offerings.
Someone shouted: "Three animals." ”
The three animals are pigs, cattle and sheep, but when they are sacrificed to the dragon king. Pigs and cattle are slaughtered in advance, and each family shares a share of the animal, and the pig's head and cow's heart are sacrificed.
Only the black goat was slaughtered on the spot in front of the temple, and a cute and stupid black goat who did not know that the time of death had arrived, was led to the front of the altar.
The devotees of the temple kneel in front of the altar and chant a few words, and then light incense. Three bells rang from inside the temple, and someone shouted, "The hour has come." ”
Immediately one grabbed the goat and grabbed the goat's head, while the other took water in his hand and dipped his fingers in the eyebrows, cheeks, mouth, hooves, and tail of the goat, and sprinkled the rest of the water in front of the altar.
The believers prayed again and let the dragon lord collect the animals. The butcher took up his knife and cut off the head of the sheep, put it on a bloody plate, and offered it to the altar.
The elder believers in the lead shouted: "It doesn't count if you shake your head, you are full of gifts." A prostration, on the heart of the sheep. ”
"Prostrate again, and put on the leg of lamb. ”
"Three prostrations, on the body of the sheep. ”
The innocent black sheep was dismantled and brought to the altar in almost ten minutes. To outsiders, this method is indeed cruel, but in reality it is not.
Among the three animals, pigs and cattle are of the lowest grade, and they are made into mature food for the dragon lord to eat. The sheep is different, the sheep are sent to serve the dragon king, and the scientific name is Yugong (there is no qin sound here).
Legend has it that the dragon king wants to check whether a place is dry, he will send rain workers to go, and the sheep who eat grass for a living take on this responsibility, if the sheep are hungry, it means that there is no grass and need rain, if the sheep eat fat back, then the opposite.
In layman's terms, Yugong is the observer of the Dragon King.
Cattle also eat grass, but their main role is to cultivate the land, and they eat more cut forage.
The slaughter of the black sheep in the newly built Dragon King Temple is to remind the Dragon King to pay attention to the people's livelihood, the tragic death of the black sheep, but in the minds of people, it is a great honor to be able to be a subordinate to the Dragon King.
"The ceremony is over! The Dragon Lord has returned to the palace and made offerings to the Dragon King!"
Crackling and firecrackers.
The crowd dispersed and lit a fire in front of the altar, and the people who came to worship the dragon king threw the incense, candles, paper, money, and ingots they brought into the fire, and then each raised the sacrifice above his head and kowtowed devoutly.
There was a lot of uproar and kneeling, but there were many tourists who came to see the excitement, and they were just curious about what the dragon lord was, and it was impossible to kneel down for the dragon lord.
The old mother who was on the outermost side was about to kneel with the basket, but Lu Zheng grabbed her arm and persuaded, "Mom, don't kneel." ”
The silence that was half on his knees was also pulled by him.
The old mother looked at Lu Zheng strangely and said, "You kid, your mother is here, what's the matter with kowtowing?"
Quietly frowned slightly and said, "Lu Zheng, what's wrong?"
Let my mother kneel down will break her life, Lu Zheng couldn't say it clearly, so he snorted and said, "The ground is too dirty." ”
Mom was about to blame him for a few words, when a voice behind her suddenly chuckled: "What a group of fools and foolish women, what age are they, and they are still doing this." ”
Quietly subconsciously looked back, only to see a few fashionably dressed young people standing on a boulder behind him, pointing at the kneeling crowd with hippie smiles.
"It's kind of interesting. It's the same as watching a play, especially the old man, who has a big voice, I guess if there is really a dragon king, I guess I'll be scared by him. ”
"Haha, the dragon, it's deaf. Commonly known as the old deaf king. ”
"Hey, do you think there is a dragon at all? Why do people in this place say they have seen dragons with their own eyes?"
"Fart, it's hype. Isn't it just a trick to invigorate the tourism industry? It's not technical at all. ”
"The bullshit dragon king, it's good to be able to find a big long worm in the water. ”
"Haha......"
The young men had frivolous expressions and exaggerated speech. Obviously, they think they have read books and read books, and their knowledge is better than that of these peasant women and peasant women.
There is no respect for dragons, because in their eyes, dragons are originally made up.
The old mother frowned in disgust and said, "This group of children really doesn't know how thick the sky is. ”
Quiet, who had received the dragon king's life-saving grace, heard their slander, and his face instantly fell. Her personality is soft on the outside and rigid on the inside, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, and scolded without hesitation: "Please shut up, don't take ignorance as a personality." ”
When those young people saw a suit and skirt, young and beautiful, and obviously intellectual-looking, they quietly rebuked them, and they were collectively stunned for a moment. The young man in the lead, with a flirtatious face, looked up and down quietly, and snorted: "We are ignorant? ”
Jing Jing was about to refute, Lu Zheng stretched out his hand to stop her, squinted at the young man, and said dishappily: "Young man, slandering the Dragon King in front of the Dragon King Temple is a great disrespectful crime. ”
"Damn, are you still young?" the buddy was immediately happy, and the others also laughed, and said with a contemptuous smile on their faces, "It's the same as the real thing." It's still very disrespectful, and Lao Tzu said what's the matter? If you have the ability, you call out the dragon king and bite me?"
"Haha, the dragon king is not a dog. ”
"Almost, aren't they all four-legged?"
Quiet said with a fierce look in his eyes: "You people who speak foul language will be struck by lightning." ”
"The more I talk, the more energetic I get. What kind of thunder is it?" The young man in the lead pointed to the clear sky, leaned back and said with a smile: "Come on, if you can thunder now, I will eat three catties of Xiang." ”
His partner smiled and agreed: "Three catties is too little, at least thirty catties." ”
Quiet's face turned red all of a sudden, and her mother protected Quiet and persuaded: "Xiaojing, don't be angry with these people, it's not worth it." ”
A cold light flashed in Lu Zheng's eyes, and the dragon qi was released, reaching into the sky. The clear sky condensed into a dark cloud in the blink of an eye.
"Come on, isn't pretending to be forced to be struck by lightning? I'm pretending today, how can I ......?"
Click.
A bolt from the blue.
A blue lightning bolt visible to the naked eye flashed out of the dark clouds and stabbed into the ground like a sharp sword, and the violent flash blinded people's eyes for a short time. (To be continued.) )
