Chapter 431 Tiu Keng Ling Land Temple
After breakfast, Zhang Wolf took everyone to take a boat and set off for Tiaojingling.
The inauguration ceremony of the Tiu Keng Ling Land Temple is the main purpose of Zhang Wolf's visit to Xiangjiang this time.
Naturally, check out the Land Temple before the ceremony.
It's not that he is not at ease with Huo Jianning, but that the land temple in Tiaojingling is too important to Zhang Wolf.
He had always wondered if he could refine the land of Tiaojingling, and after refining the land of Tiaojingling, he could teleport at will like in the Xilong Mountains.
In addition to checking if there were any mistakes, he also had a very important thing to do when he went to the Land Temple in advance, that is, to leave his own divine consciousness imprint on the statue.
Only in this way can this land temple belong to him, and he can get the incense and power of faith produced by this land temple.
The father-in-law of the land has a magical power that other immortals can't compare, that is, he can distract countless gods.
If you want to say what temples have the most in the world, it is undoubtedly the land temple with the most.
The yacht on which Zhang Wolf and his entourage were riding docked at the Tiu Keng Ling Fishermen's Wharf.
Everyone walked, watching the customs and folklore on both sides of the road as they walked.
"I didn't expect that there are such dilapidated houses in capitalist countries?" said Minister Wang.
"In fact, the more capitalist countries are, the greater the gap between the rich and the poor! In capitalist countries, the number of poor people is far greater than that of the rich! There are also many people who cannot eat!" Zhang Wolf explained.
"This is Tiaojingling, a long time ago called Zhaojing Ling, you see this bay is very round, like a round mirror, and calm without waves, so the local fishermen call this bay 'Zhaojing Ring', and the land is called Zhaojing Ling!"
"Well, it's quite similar to what you say!" Mayor Xu nodded.
"Then why did it change to Tiaojingling again? I think Zhaojingling is much better than Tiaojingling!" Minister Wang asked loudly.
is really worthy of the king cannon, and his speech is like thunder.
In 1905, Lenny, a retired Canadian civil servant, invested in the construction of a flour mill in Zhaojingling, but announced its closure in April 1908 due to excessive cost and poor quality, and hanged himself on April 14. So the local fishermen jokingly called this the Hanging Neck Ridge.
After the Nationalist Government moved to Taiwan in 1949, some retired veterans and their families who were unwilling or unwilling to move to Taiwan were resettled in the Davis Ridge Civic Village.
In the early 1950s, a group of leftist students went to the Mount Davis refugee area to provoke the veterans, which eventually turned into a bloody conflict.
Therefore, in June 1950, the Heung Kong government relocated the veterans and their families to Tiu Keng Lean.
Later, the Xiangjiang government took the homonym of 'Jiao Neck Ridge' and renamed it 'Tiaojingling', which means "adjusting the situation".
This is the origin of Tiu Keng Lean.
The most interesting thing is that the English name of Tiu Keng Ling is still 'Rennie's Mill', which is the name of the flour mill of the hanged foreigner. ”
Zhang Wolf explained the origin of the name Tiu Keng Ling to everyone all the way.
"Wolf cub! If you tell me again in the future that you have a low education and a lack of education, I will whip you!" Minister Wang pointed at Zhang Wolf and said angrily.
"Squad Leader Wang, I still have a low education, I know that I went to join the army after graduating from junior high school!"
"You have a low educational background? Look at what you said, the people of Xiangjiang don't necessarily know it! And you can understand English after graduating from junior high school, and you can speak it so fluently!" Minister Wang said.
"Squad Leader Wang, I learned English in the army! As a scout, I must be able to speak two foreign languages, right? As for the origin of Tiaojingling, since I bought this land, I naturally have to investigate it clearly!" Zhang Wolf explained with a smile.
"What the wolf cub said is also right! The Kuomintang veterans live here? This is too miserable, isn't it?"
"Is it miserable? It's really miserable!" Zhang Wolf replied to himself in a somewhat depressed mood.
"Many of these Kuomintang veterans are suffering from serious battlefield syndrome! They cannot bear the burden on their shoulders and cannot lift their hands with blue! They can only be accompanied by alcohol all day long! Alcoholism, gambling, and beating their wives are their daily life! But at least they have not starved to death! They can receive relief money from the Civil Affairs Bureau, and they can receive milk powder from foreign churches! ······················" Speaking of this, Zhang Wolf couldn't go on.
Mayor Xu and County Magistrate Tong understood the meaning of Zhang Wolf's words, and their mood became extremely heavy.
When you pity others, think about yourself first, you are not as good as others!
"Alas!" after a while, Mayor Xu sighed.
"Everything is the fault of poverty! Poverty is also a sin! I believe that everything will be fine!"
"Yes, it will be fine!" As if to increase the persuasiveness, County Magistrate Tong also emphasized.
"Wolf cub! Just like you said! Let's create a glorious and prosperous world with our hands together! Let those tragedies not happen again!" Mayor Xu is not a leader, and after a short period of loss, he quickly adjusted his mood and encouraged everyone.
"Yes! Complaining about the heavens and making people is only something that the weak do! With that kind of effort, it is better to think about how to build our homes better!" Zhang Wolf is not a hypocritical person, he just had a feeling.
As they spoke, everyone had already walked to the front of the Tiaojingling Land Temple.
"Wolf cub, you're corrupt too, aren't you? This is the Land Temple, and I think it's more beautiful than the Imperial Palace!" exclaimed Minister Wang, standing at the door.
"Hehe! The temple is built in style, and the incense will be prosperous! The land temple is the signboard of our company! Naturally, we have to make it a little more magnificent!" Zhang Wolf explained with a smile.
Mayor Xu, County Magistrate Tong and others shook their heads with a smile, this matter really can't be taken care of.
It can only be attributed to the fact that no one is perfect.
I think that Zhang Wolf is good for everything, but it's a bit of feudal superstition, but it's right to think about it, I have worshiped the old Taoist priest as a teacher since I was a child, and I must have been influenced by the old Taoist priest.
I didn't bother about this matter anymore, so I went to the tour to see the scenery, and followed Zhang Wolf to the land temple.
In the middle of the Land Temple, there are two vermilion gates, a tall gatehouse, and a plaque hanging on it, on which are written three big characters, "Land Temple"
Walking into the gate of the Land Temple, it is a very spacious square! a square paved with gray marble, and a bronze tripod is placed in the middle of the square.
Further inside is the main house, and the main house is dedicated to the father-in-law of the land.
The side houses on both sides of the square are also temples, which are dedicated to the four heavenly kings.
This is not Andy Lau and Jacky Cheung, the four heavenly kings.
It is the four heavenly kings of "Mo Li Qing", "Mo Li Hong", "Mo Li Hai", and "Mo Li Shou", and these four heavenly kings respectively hold a sword (Feng), a pipa (tune), an umbrella, (a "rain" tool, for "rain"), and Jiao (Jiao, a snake-like and horned animal, which is slippery and "Shun").
The implication is that the wind and rain are smooth.
The land temple is built so big, naturally it can't just worship the land father-in-law and the land grandmother!
Therefore, the colleagues in the land and the heavens are enshrined, and everyone enjoys the incense on earth.
