Chapter 285: Visiting the Shrine (Dream Cat Fairy Treasure Plus 1)
Originally, Luo Zihong and Yun Mu didn't want to go at all, but they had to compromise under the attack of Shu Xin's three-inch tongue, what is so unsociable, be careful that no friends come out, what else can they say?
The area of Yuan County is twice as large as that of Feng County, where you can see many merchants, travelers, literati and artists, the streets are neat and clean, and the roses are in full bloom and charming, giving people a very melodious and romantic feeling.
"This place is beautiful!" It's the first time Shu Xin has loved a town so much.
Now they first take a carriage to the Rose Temple outside the town, there is such a nursery rhyme in the town, the rose edge in the rose garden of the rose temple on the rose hill.
Roses have no special significance in the whole of the Shui Yao country, but in Yuanzhen, roses are a symbol of romance and love.
There is such a story circulating in Yuan Town, saying that a long, long time ago, Yuan County was originally a barren place with no grass, and at that time the rose fairy and a mortal met, knew each other, and fell in love. But the immortals were different, they were tried to stop the queen mother, but they were not willing to give up each other no matter what, the queen mother saw the firm determination of the two, so she circled the most barren land in the mortal world and said to the mortal man, she is a rose fairy, if you can plant nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine roses in that barren land, let you be together.
The story is very clichΓ© but very poignant and romantic, and the mortal man did not hesitate to agree to the request of the Queen Mother, and he came to Yuanxian County, where not even a single grass could grow.
No matter how strong the life of the weeds is, even the grass can't give birth to the precious roses, and the mortal man has failed many, many times. In fact, it was just the Queen Mother's deliberate difficulty, but he held a grateful heart, held on to this only chance to get a lover, and got up and persevered in failure after failure.
Perhaps it was his sincerity, perseverance, and patience that touched the heavens, and he finally succeeded after failing many times, but he was also old, and he spent a lifetime working hard just to be with his lover, exhausting all his heart and energy.
When the mortal man closed his eyes, there were not enough roses nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine, and he still couldn't be with the rose fairy. When he closed his eyes, he saw the love he had never seen in his life. Say, in the next life, I will continue to plant.
A mortal man dies and is reincarnated. In adulthood. Without any memory of his past life, he came to this place again. Planting roses takes a lifetime of energy, someone asked him. Why do you want to plant roses here, he said, he doesn't know, only that he wants to plant them.
It took the man three lives and three lives to plant nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine roses, and the queen mother looked at it in her eyes and said to the rose fairy, immortals are different, mortals have a short lifespan, you have seen three lives, do you really want to be with him? The rose fairy said firmly with tears in her eyes, "Yes".
In the fourth life, they were finally together, the mortal man paid for the third life, and the rose fairy was ripped off the fairy root and thrown into reincarnation.
The two of them, who don't have any memories of their past lives, met in a place full of roses and created today's "Yuan County".
There is no way to find out whether the story is true or false, but the legend is that the rose temple in Yuan County is dedicated to the rose fairy, and it is rumored that the monks in the temple are their descendants, and the true love of this side has been guarded from generation to generation.
The environment here is really good, it can make people feel physically and mentally happy, Nangong Lan looked at it comfortably: "If you like it here, then buy a house here to live!" β
"Well......" Shu Xin shook his head: "The beauty of a place lies in the fact that it is rarely seen, if you really live for a long time, this feeling of heartbeat for this place is estimated to slowly disappear." β
"Then buy a house and live there for a while when you think about it." Nangong Lan smiled, and was thrilled by a place, it seemed that she really liked it here.
"Wouldn't that be a waste?" Shu Xin, a poor house girl, can't agree with the local tyrant to buy a house everywhere, however, the society is different, she is also a local tyrant now, and she thinks that Nangong Lan's mention is really good, and when she is busy with this paragraph, she will go back here to see if there is a suitable house to buy.
Nangong Lan has been looking at Shu Xin, seeing her heartbeat, she smiled slightly, it's just a house, if his daughter likes it, he can buy the whole county and give it to her.
A group of people took half an hour's carriage to the foot of the Rose Mountain, this Rose Mountain is really worthy of its name, from the foot of the mountain has been planted with bright red roses, the mountain is not very high, a stone step that is enough for four people and people leads to the top, the top is the Rose Temple, it is said that this staircase has ninety-nine layers, it is close to dinner time, there are not many people who will go up the mountain, most of them are people who go down the mountain.
The Rose Temple is open from the time of the day to the time of unitary, that is, from 5 o'clock in the morning to 7 o'clock in the evening, and now there is still time to visit the mountain.
Shu Xin and his entourage went to the mountain, and after a while they came to the outside of the temple, the overall construction structure of the temple from the outside is not special, after entering the gate is a small open space, to the inside is the main temple, the temple is not very big, the peculiar thing is that there are three doors set up in the temple, the name is Sanshengmen.
This is the second special difference between the rose temple and other temples, enter the temple, enshrine the rose fairy, here is not burning incense, but inserted fresh roses, come to worship is not "pilgrims" and called "roses", "roses" in the local dialect of the county is called "nobles", in short, they are some good words.
Under the statue, there are two monks standing on the left and right, holding the fresh roses that have been cut, there is a clear living pool on the left side of the temple, the "distinguished guests" who enter the temple first go to the living pool to clean their hands, and then go to the cash box to throw money, and then go to the rose, "on the rose" and "on the incense" meaning, and then go to worship, shake lots, and finally go to the rose again, the ceremony is completed.
There is a back temple in the main temple, you can go to the back temple to solve the lot after the lot, comfortable this line, the men are just casually worshipped, and the four girls are comfortable to worship, but Shu Xin did not shake the lot.
Seeing Qiu'er and the three of them happily taking the lottery to the Hou Miao to solve the problem, Nangong Lan smiled softly and looked at Shu Xin: "Why don't you shake the lot?" β
Shu Xin shook his head: "I don't want to shake it." β
"Are you afraid that you won't be able to shake a good sign?" Baili Rin Ye raised his eyebrows slightly and looked comfortable.
Shu Xin raised his eyebrows: "I'm afraid that shaking too good a lot will make you jealous." β
Baili Rin Ye stopped talking and turned his head, Shu Xin's eyes rolled, and he pulled Bai Li Rin Ye to the outside of the temple and said in a low voice: "Uncle Ye, do you know that the Rose Temple has a very effective edge measurement line?" It's called a thousand miles of marriage, do you dare to try it with your father? β
Baili Rin Ye let Shu Xin hold his arm, raised his eyebrows after listening to her words, and turned his head to look at Nangong Lan in the temple, a little moved.
Shu Xin continued to lobby: "Go ahead! You go with Daddy to try it, and we'll wait at the front temple. If it succeeds, Daddy may agree to be with you immediately. β
Baili Rin Ye looked at Shu Xin suspiciously: "Are you really so enthusiastic that we are together?" (To be continued......)
