Chapter 857: Weird Land Temple
A deserted, sparsely populated, lifeless village. Another village, with a large population, seems to be quite lively. Comparing the two villages, it should be obvious who is good and who is bad.
But listening to the meaning of Fang Yuan's words, the situation in the lively village is not much better. Naturally, others are a little skeptical about this conclusion and want to know the specific reason.
At this time, Fang Yuan said, "Xue Xinfu, have you heard of it?" β
"Nonsense, of course I know." Bao Longtu nodded without hesitation: "This is the work of the Tang Dynasty feng shui master Bu Yingtian, and it is also a classic masterpiece in Chinese Kanyu, and it is the first choice for feng shui beginners." β
"The books of geography are full of legends, and those who seek their skills to be wonderful, and the "Book of Burial" is the most; Those who know very well, and "Fa Wei" is preferred; If you want to know the detailed life of the practice, it is not as good as Yang Gong's "Inverted Stick"; If you want to know the abnormal state of the star shape, it is not as good as Liao's "Nine Changes". β
Bao Longtu shook his head and said: "If Xingyuan is noble and cheap, the magic lies in "Urging Officials"; The magic is in "Jade Ruler", the number of people is prepared and the mountains and stars are all there! "Snow Heart Fu" is clear and fast, and it is easy to learn after viewing, which leads people to gradually get better. β
"In other words, if you want to learn Feng Shui, Xue Xinfu is definitely one of the must-read Feng Shui books." Bao Longtu was a little strange: "You still sued me for this, have you forgotten it yourself?" β
"I haven't forgotten, I'm afraid you will." Fang Yuan reminded: "If you are familiar with Xue Xinfu, then you should know that there is such a sentence in the Fu, left and right, military generals. The front barrier and the back screen, Wenchen Zaifu. β
"Huh?" Bao Longtu was stunned for a moment: "This is so familiar!" β
"Nonsense, of course familiar. Mr. Cun just said. Fang Yuan said angrily: "There is a feng shui master who told Mr. SΓΉ Cun, here is the momentum of the left flag and the right drum, the front barrier and the back screen." Future generations are prone to civilian and military generals. However, judging from the pattern here, it is not simple to come out of the civil and military generals, at least it is a sign of entering the center. β
"Really?" Cun Fusheng was pleasantly surprised and very excited.
"If the dragon vein is intact, it's quite likely." Fang Yuan sighed and said, "It's a pity that the two dragons are fighting, and you break my air hole." I will break your foundation, and you will lose both. That's why I said that the situation is similar in both places. No one is much better than the other. β
These words were like a basin of cold water, which directly poured Cun Fusheng's enthusiasm cold, making his expression gloomy, and he said in disappointment: "Is this also a feng shui endgame?" β
"It's not an endgame. There are already people in the village who have already soared. Why wait until now. Fang Yuan looked at it for a moment and came to a conclusion: "And the traces of the axe and chisel in the village are obvious, it can be seen that many years ago, there should have been a feng shui master who helped the people in the village to regulate feng shui, but in the end it ended in failure." β
"How do you tell?" Bao Longtu was a little surprised.
"If you look at the layout of the houses and farmland in the village, you can get a glimpse of it." Fang Yuan commented: "If the shape of the whole village is like a chessboard, then the houses are chess pieces. These chess pieces are distributed in an orderly manner, and it is clearly a game...... Hey. Wait, what's that? β
This moment. Fang Yuan seemed to have noticed something, and then hurriedly walked towards the middle of the village.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously followed. Bao Longtu trotted and asked, "Hey, it's so good, why are you walking so fast, what did you find?" β
ββ¦β¦ Go check it out, see it and talk about it. Fang Yuan's brows were locked into Sichuan characters: "Could it be that I read it wrong?" β
"Where to go, what to see?" Others must have been confused.
"Let's look at the specific situation in the village......," Fang Yuan explained, and led everyone to the village.
A group of strangers poured into the village, which naturally attracted the attention of the villagers. However, most people just looked at each other curiously and didn't pay much attention to it.
After all, the village is very large, and it is estimated that there are hundreds of families, each with relatives and friends. Even in the same village, everyone is not guaranteed to know everyone in the village, let alone relatives and friends of the villagers.
After entering the village, Fang Yuan was silent, just walking with his head buried in his head. He seemed to have locked on his target, and went straight along the narrow road in the village, after seven turns and eight turns, before stopping.
Fang Yuan's footsteps stopped, and the others followed suit, then looked left and right.
At a glance, everyone found that there was a land temple in front, the structure of this temple was very simple, with a radius of two or three meters, and a hollow hut with a half-canopy roof was built, and a statue of a god was enshrined in the hut.
It is also strange to say that the statue in the temple is only three feet high, but the shape of the statue is a little different from that of the general land temple. In the general land temple, most of the land enshrined is the old man and grandmother who are kind and kind.
However, this land temple is dedicated to a god with ring-headed leopard eyes and bared teeth. The god held a three-pointed, two-edged knife in his hand, and he looked quite mighty.
"What kind of temple is this?" Bao Longtu observed for a moment, and then said strangely: "The one holding the three-pointed two-edged knife, is it Erlang God?" The problem is that Erlang God is not that ugly. β
"This is the Land Temple." Fang Yuan opened his mouth and said, "The land of worship is not the Erlang God. β
"What, this is the god of the land?" Bao Longtu was stunned: "It's not like it." β
"What's not like it." Fang Yuan understood the meaning of Bao Longtu, and explained directly: "You must know that the image of the land god is varied, there is no unified specification and shape at all, the image of the white-bearded old man, it is just a rendering on the TV screen." β
"In fact, the folk land gods have never had a fixed image, let alone a fixed person. Each place worships the god of the land has its own characteristics. Some are famous civil and military generals in history, and some are loyal and good people who do good all the year round, anyway, as long as the people think that anyone is good, they can be pulled to be the god of the land. β
Fang Yuan said with a smile: "This is also the reason why China's god system is very chaotic and unsystematic. The main reason is that everyone subconsciously thinks that as long as everyone works hard enough, it is not a dream to become a god after death. It is just as reasonable and applicable to the princes in the secular world to use Xiangning in the immortal system......"
The others nodded unconsciously, deeply approving.
After all, like Western sects, they all preach that after death, if you do good, you will go to heaven, and if you do evil, you will go to hell, which is very monotonous. China is different, it is not wrong to go to hell if you do evil, but if you do good deeds and accumulate virtue, you will directly soar and become an unrestrained and free immortal, and you don't need to be restrained and disciplined by anyone.
Many people say that the common people in China are kind, docile, and rule well as long as they have food to eat. That is a very one-sided view, as long as you open the history books, you can know that even in the so-called era of political and Qing Dynasty, all kinds of uprisings and protests have never been stopped.
Why do people believe that after death, they can soar to become gods without the slightest constraint? The deep-seated reason is that I have had enough of all kinds of oppression in normal times, and I hope that one day I can completely turn over and be the master of singing......
"Well, even if it's the land god." Bao Longtu was still puzzled: "But what are you doing in this land temple, is there anything wrong with this small temple?" β
Suddenly, the hearts of the others moved, and they also hurriedly looked at Fang Yuan, which showed that they also had the same thoughts.
ββ¦β¦ Don't worry, let's take a look. Fang Yuan said, and left the land temple directly, and then walked briskly in the other direction. The others looked at each other with confused expressions. There was no choice but to continue to follow and keep up.
After walking for a while, Bao Longtu saw a building in front of him, and was immediately very surprised: "Look, everyone, it seems that there is another land temple?" β
Approaching, everyone can see clearly. Sure enough, a few hundred meters away from the land temple at the back of the head, there was indeed another land temple standing in the middle.
Looking closely, everyone can also see very clearly, and find that this land temple is not only the same size and specifications compared with the previous land temple, but also the incense stove is exactly the same. The only difference is the idol of the god enshrined in the temple.
The land god in the land temple before, that was the image of a military general with ring-headed leopard eyes, and now the land god enshrined in this land temple, although he is also a military general wearing gold armor, but what he is holding in his hand is not a three-pointed two-edged knife, but a ring-headed knife.
The idol held the ring head sword in his hand, and held it high, majestic, very powerful and majestic.
Seeing this situation, Bao Longtu felt a little strange: "There are quite a lot of land temples in the village, and there are actually two." β
"Two isn't much." Yanhuo said casually: "There are also two in our village, one worships Shegong and the other worships King Yue......"
King Yue is Yue Fei, after Yue Fei's death, he was given the title of Lin'an Taiyue land god by the emperor of later generations, and enjoyed folk incense sacrifices. The people of all over the country read their loyalty, and also spontaneously built temples to worship, and the Yuewang Temple gradually spread all over the country.
While the two were communicating, Fang Yuan was silent, and after looking at it for a while, he turned around and left.
"Hey......" Bao Longtu was stunned: "Do you want to go?" β
"Look at ...... again" Fang Yuan was in a hurry, and the others had no choice but to follow him.
However, a few minutes later, when Fang Yuan stopped again, the others were stunned. Because at this time, another land temple appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
The land temple of the same scale, but the statue of the land god is different, naturally made everyone stunned. This is another general-shaped land god, but the weapon in his hand is no longer a three-pointed two-edged knife and a ring-headed knife, but a sword.
Seeing this Land Temple, the others finally had a little enlightenment, knowing that Fang Yuan was not taking everyone around aimlessly, and it was clearly a regular search.
"Maruko, what the hell is going on?" Bao Longtu couldn't help but ask: "Is there any connection between the three land temples?" β
"It's not just three land temples." Cun Fusheng said with a strange expression: "I seemed to see it over there just now, it seems that there is a land temple......"
"Four land temples?" Fireworks was stunned: "That's too much." β
You must know that although the land lord is a low-status existence in the god system, but in a village, it is enough to worship one or two land lords, and it will not work if there are more.
The so-called scarce things are expensive, and more things are worthless...... (To be continued......)
