Chapter 258: The Scenery in the Mountains

At four or five o'clock the next morning, Ye Xiang got up, yesterday she didn't practice because she had just come home, and today Ye Xiang started the cultivation he had to do every day. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Still went to the mountain, this time Ye Xiang's speed was very fast, and he arrived at the mountain in less than half an hour, and found a place where he could cultivate, Ye Xiang sat down and began to cultivate.

The mountain has not yet been developed, so the air on the mountain is fresh and the aura is a little richer than the outside.

Ye Xiang's cultivation didn't end until more than nine o'clock in the morning, this is still the reason for his control, otherwise, according to Ye Xiang's current strength, he can cultivate for a long time without eating or drinking.

After cultivating, Ye Xiang began to spin around the mountain again.

Mountains, forests, rivers and valleys and hills, can come out of the clouds, for the wind and rain, see monsters, all say gods, there is a temple on the mountain of Xishui Village, and it has been incense for many years.

The mountains are the gods of the mountains, the land is the gods of the land, there are mountains here in Xishui Village, although the mountains are not high, the highest is only a few hundred meters high, but there are also mountain temples, Ye Xiang remembered when he was a child, every big solar term, such as Qingming, Dragon Boat Festival, autumn moon, winter solstice, spring equinox, the elders of the village, leading the men in the village to carry the pig's head, incense, blowing and singing, very lively.

It's a pity that in the past six or seven years, no one has mentioned the matter of sacrifice, and there are not many people left in the older generation, and even fewer are in good health. The younger generation, there is a mind, to do this, except for the people in the village who have red and white ceremonies, send someone to go up to burn incense and worship it. The big worship has disappeared, alas.

Ye Xiang wanted to go to the mountain temple to have a look, so he walked around the woods and stepped on the mountain road, which was a little better than the road before he went, the grass was not high, and there were traces of trampling. Most of the vine branches have been cleared, and the roadside is littered with yellow branches.

Ye Xiang didn't encounter too many obstacles along the way, as he walked up the mountainside a little bit, he met more animals, and now it is autumn, and many animals are looking for food to store food, so there are many animals, except for the hares, pheasants, and grass snakes I saw yesterday.

For these animals, Ye Xiang was not afraid, those animals seemed to be able to feel the danger on Ye Xiang's body, and they were all far away, so they were very calm along the way, and soon came to the mountain temple.

It is said to be a temple, but in fact it is just a small brick house, gray bricks, looking a little old, and the grass in front of the door is messy. It seems that it has not been cleaned up for a few years, and Ye Xiang stepped forward to clean it up.

The mountain god is the ancient Han people who deified the mountain and worshiped it. Judging from the title of the mountain god, the worship of the mountain god is extremely complicated, and all kinds of ghosts and spirits are attached to the mountain. Eventually, the names of the various ghosts and spirits and the boundaries of differences disappeared, or you have me, and I have you and they merged with each other, and the main mountains in each region were inhabited by personified mountain gods.

"The Book of Rites and Sacrifices": "Mountains, forests, rivers, valleys and hills, can come out of the clouds, for the wind and rain, see monsters, all say gods." ”

Yu Shun has the sacrifice system of "looking at the mountains and rivers, all over the gods", and it is said that Shun has visited Mount Tai, Heng Mountain, Hua Mountain and Heng Mountain. In the past dynasties, the Son of Heaven sealed the Zen sacrifice to heaven and earth, and also made a big sacrifice to the mountain gods. Most of the sacrifices are made to the mountains with jade and jade objects buried in the ground, and there are also sacrifices such as throwing and hanging, that is, sacrificing chickens, sheep, pigs or jade into the valley or hanging on the treetops.

The most famous in history is Qin Shi Huang, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Wu Zetian's sacrifice to the famous mountains and rivers, in China, the legend of the mountain god has a long history, written in the book more than 2,000 years ago in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", has recorded all kinds of legends about the mountain god.

"Taiping Guangji" also includes the story of Dayu's imprisonment of mountain gods such as Shang Zhang's and Doulu's. The "Five Tibetan Mountain Sutra" also gives a detailed description of the appearance of the mountain gods. In the late Qing Dynasty, the functions of Confucian holy places began to be confused, and those who sought sons and wealth, wealth and marriage, and good fortune in the future all came to worship.

Speaking of which, the most famous of the mountain gods is the god Tarzan.

During the period of the king of Shang, Huang Feihu's family was loyal and good for seven generations, and held a high position in the Shang Dynasty, Huang Feihu's father Huang Roll was a famous old marshal in the town of the Shang Dynasty, and Huang Feihu was named the king of Wucheng of the town of the town.

In the last years of the Shang Dynasty, King Su was bewitched by Daji, lewd and cruel, and even Huang Feihu's wife was not spared in order to satisfy his own ***. Huang Feihu's wife committed suicide to protect chastity, and Huang Feihu's sister was the concubine of the king of Zhou, who was thrown off the star tower and died after denouncing the king of Zhou. Huang Feihu had a family feud, and his father, second brother, third son, and four friends led a thousand generals out of the five levels, defected to King Wu of Zhou, and was named the founding king of Wucheng, and together they crusaded against the mediocre and tyrannical King Zhou. In the war of Xingzhou to destroy the Shang, Huang Feihu died in the battle of Mianchi.

King Wu of Zhou commented that Huang Feihu "is mighty in the world, righteous in all directions, graceful and virtuous, admired by everyone, and truly loyal and good gentleman".

Jiang Ziya specially named Huang Feihu as the head of the five mountains, the emperor of Dongyue Taishan Tianqi Rensheng, and the chief of the world.

This is the most famous mountain god, but this mountain god Ye Xiang can't be touched now, even if he can be contacted in the future, I'm afraid the status is also quite equal, he doesn't have any feelings for Dongyue Emperor Ye Xiang, naturally Ye Xiang doesn't have much feeling for this little mountain god, not to mention that this mountain temple is empty, but since he came, he still has to come to worship.

When even if he took out a wisp of incense, lit it, put on the incense, and after doing it, Ye Xiang looked at the statue of the mountain god, the mountain god has many ghosts and monsters, and the mountain god in front of him is such a kind, there are many ghosts and monsters in the mountain, people are puzzled, and they sacrifice for peace of mind.

For the mountain gods are mostly legends, the mountains have spirituality, turned into mountains, rocks and trees, into a variety of forms.

The mountain people have been in awe of the mountain god for a long time, especially the hunters, but unfortunately in the past ten years, there has been no real sense of the hunter, so the mountain temple has been deserted a lot, in fact, just people are afraid of ghosts and ghosts, so people just come to worship every year as usual, looking at the incense burner to say that no one has come to worship for more than half a year,

Ye Xiang looked so messy, with a thick layer of dust hanging on the statue, sighed, he did a good thing today. Covering his nose and holding the rag on the altar, Ye Xiang spent half an hour, and finally cleaned up the mountain temple, really, the gods are not easy to do.

I haven't seen that he has been outdated for a few years, and seeing that he is not far from being laid off, Ye Xiang still knows that there is a mountain god in this generation, and few children in the next generation know.

Speaking of wiping the statue of the mountain god, ordinary people really can't wipe it easily, even if it is dirty, if it is wiped, it will get into trouble, after all, the body of the god can not be touched, this is still a god, if this is the mountain god is occupied by the goblins on the mountain, it is not a small trouble, but Ye Xiang is not afraid, not to mention that the mountain temple is empty, even if there is a mountain god, it is helpless Ye Xiang.
