"Get up......"

I was woken up from my sweet sleep, looking sleepily at a neatly dressed enigmatic creature,

"The ...... you promised me"

She crossed her fingers and crouched in front of my bed, her face close enough to see the delicate fluff and tickling breathing that was characteristic of the little girl's face.

I couldn't help but stick out my tongue and add a touch of electricity to her face, well, there was a faint smell of osmanthus essence.

"You perverted ......"

She was stunned when she didn't react, and then her little face turned red like blood, as if she was about to emit some kind of steam on her head.

"Disgusting dead dog, the old lady and you are not finished......"

She roared and slammed down on me, her fists pounding.

"Hey, it's just a careless ......"

I took a few hits before I grabbed her pink arm, a little aggrieved.

"There's no need to react so violently,

She rolled her eyes and sneered, and I felt bad, and I saw that she suddenly stopped struggling, and the hem of her skirt was gently raised

Suddenly flew up a kick, and was caught between my legs by the instinctive conditioning of my quick eyes, and then felt this struggling and squirming little foot, there was a part of my body that swelled uncontrollably, and I was hard.

It seems to feel that the palm of her foot is being erected by a hard thing, and her face has faded, and she can't help but turn red again and scold angrily.

"You pervert, foot control ......"

"Just a normal physiological reaction in the morning,"

I was a little unconfident in my argument

"How could I ...... to the washboard"

"What do you say"

As soon as these words came out, the enigmatic creature struggled like an enraged cat, with its teeth and claws.

It's just that she obviously couldn't compete with my strength, and suddenly bit my head on my chest, and I screamed in pain and fell back and rolled into a ball on the bed.

"Bite you, I'll bite me, I'll bite ......"

"I dodge, I dodge, I block ......"

Suddenly, an inopportune voice interjected into the entanglement between the two of us.

"That?"

Squatting by the door with his head in his hands, he probed his brain with a timidly probe.

"Wouldn't it be better for me to come back later?"

The enigmatic creature that wound around me like an octopus suddenly came to its senses, and jumped out of bed like a spring-loaded brush, trying to make it look like it was nothing.

It's just that her bloody face and torn clothes are really not very convincing.

"Ahh......h

Then, she looked at the messy and crumpled shirt and skirt, and the loose bun, and couldn't help but scream

"It took the old lady half an hour to sort it out......"

After all the daily noise and morning hustle and bustle, we hurried off before the scorching sun completely dominated the sky.

I'm ashamed to say that I've been in Canton for many years, but there are still many well-known places that I haven't visited, and today's Poseidon Polo Temple is one of them, because today is the first day of the temple fair called Poseidon's Day, and it is also a compensation for her missed spring outing promise.

Polo Temple belongs to the jurisdiction of Fuxu District, located in the small sea (Pearl River) outside the southwest gate of the sub-city called Fuxu Town, (note: the tributary of the Pearl River flowing through the city in the Tang Dynasty is Xiaojiang, and the one outside the city is Xiaohai), which is connected to the Humen Waterway and the land of the Lion Ocean is to rush.

The temple was built in the 14th year of Emperor Wen of Sui in 94 years), the earliest only a small room dedicated to the portrait of the god of the Balo Sea stone hall and if in the pineapple tree, but can not withstand the accumulation of years of prosperity of the sea and land, the posthumous seal of the government of the past dynasties.

It has been built and expanded several times to this day, and has become an extremely large building complex.

Therefore, the Polo Temple and Guangfu in general, there are two concepts in the narrow sense and in the broad sense, the Polo Temple in the narrow sense refers to the main building located in the core area, which is composed of the archway, the head gate, the instrument gate and the complex corridor stele forest, the left and right drum pavilions, the main hall and the Zhaoling Palace, so it is also called the Tanah Lot Temple, or the small Polo Temple

In a broad sense, the Polo Temple, or the Great Polo Temple, includes the various religious buildings and shrines that have been built and expanded in the vicinity and periphery of the Tanah Lot Temple, and the genus of various temples and shrines attached to it, and the place of daily life, which is a geographical concept that covers a wide area.

Because this is the starting point of the ancient thousands of miles of travel, not only the beginning of the so-called Maritime Silk Road, but also the last battle of those sea-born families to bid farewell to their relatives, they are here to see the sea ship carrying their father, husband and brother, slowly moving away on the lion ocean, it is also here, the first to usher in the long-awaited return of relatives, and then staged a scene of sad and joyful historical fragments.

Although nowadays, Miaotou Port, where the Polo Temple is located, is no longer the most important and busiest port area in Guangzhou, but as the spiritual pillar and spiritual refuge of people going to sea, the role and status of Tanah Lot Temple is unwavering.

After a long time, with their settlement and naturalization to form a unique area, it also cost a great deal to obtain the approval of the government, and on the edge of the Polo Temple, they successively donated and built various foreign religious sites with Eastern characteristics, as the subordination of the Tanah Lot Temple, and accepted the supervision and management of the official family.

This is also the Pantheon of the East Earth that is passed down by word of mouth among those overseas visitors, and their spiritual belonging in other foreign countries or their second hometowns, so in Guangfu, the person responsible for the management of the Tanah Lot Temple is the ancestral hall under the Ministry of Rites, which belongs to a very high-level management organization, with a special temple director, responsible for the daily supervision of the Tanah Lot, which is also a famous fat shortage.

When we arrived at the Fuxu area, we quickly fell into a jam and a slow creep of traffic, because most of the frames, mounts, and pedestrians were almost always moving in one direction, so that for a few days the main support on the road became a crowd of rubbing shoulders.

We who couldn't bear to be tortured by the turtle speed also had to get out of the car and walk from a distance, and the strong guards used their bodies to form some kind of barrier to protect the frail girls, and walked several streets on foot, squeezing a sweat, before arriving at the place.

Now is the summer trade wind of the first stubble out of the sea season, the gods ask the fortune and the voyage of the merchant is the most uncounted, and it is the traditional Boluo temple fair, so the surrounding dozen or so blocks are already crowded with people, noisy, juggling, the most lively season.

As soon as the flow of people was relieved, we were able to invite our hands to swim along the newly set up color buildings and pavings on the street, waving fans in the fresh air brought by the sea breeze, taking a walk while watching the street scene, and then buying some gadgets or eating food that we found interesting.

After carrying a few large bags and small bags, we finally approached the Shinto of the Imperial Building, and went down the Shinto Road to the location of Tanah Lot Temple.

The pattern of this Tanah Lot Temple itself is not large, but it is quite exquisite and ingenious according to the construction of three frames and two rooms, walking through the archway full of ribbons and flower balls, the head gate, in front of the Tanah Lot Temple, I stopped a little to take a look.

Because this is the tenth year of Tianbao (75l AD), the former prime minister Zhang Jiuling was ordered to seal the god of the South China Sea as the "King of Guangli", and the pavilion of the "Temple of the South China Sea God Guangli Wang" was sacrificed, the so-called iron pen and silver hook of a generation of famous ministers, and became a style of its own.

I also visited the corridor, full of inscriptions on the stele forest of famous ministers and everyone in the past dynasties, and in the left and right drum pavilions where dozens of musicians sang non-stop all day and night, and listened to the so-called Nanyin Kagura full of babbling for a while, it was considered to really step into the temple.

We saw a stone hall with white walls of Uwa lacquer pillars on the central axis. Outside the aisle, the incense and flower color tables on various display cases, and the animal offerings are piled up in front and back, almost submerging the main hall of Tanah Lot around it, so that people have nowhere to insert their feet, and together with a few thick Polo trees, they are also hung with various incense sachets and wooden signs.

One big, three and four women can't wait to bring them to the tree to hang the prayer for the opportunity. And I also stepped into the main hall.

The temple of the Baltic Sea was already lit with expensive spices and whale oil candles, and large sums of money and utensils were generously given out, and patches of sacred tablets and walls with the names of worshippers written on them were erected

The so-called Baltic Sea God in the middle is a stone statue that has been eroded by the sea breeze and tidal weather, and is smoked by the smoke and fire of the worship, and has been blurred to see the original appearance, wearing a crown of seven beams, wearing a dark purple robe, and the exposed body part, with gold and color, and inlaid with gems into a flower style, it looks like a nouveau riche gold temperament.

Then there are the various offerings and ritual utensils piled up in the hall, which seem to be of good taste and age, and I even thought on a whim that if I led someone to loot this place, I guess I could loot a lot of money.

What caught my eye more inside was a large bronze drum that was said to be captured by the Nanyue Kingdom in the Han Dynasty, and on the drum surface was a multi-radial sun-patterned totem in the Shanyue style, and the corresponding six split-beaked copper frogs, which are said to be from the worship plot of the sun and rain baby gods.

It is said that it is only taken out during some kind of large-scale ritual to pray for peace and tranquility. Symbolically donated a sum of money, and declined the courteous temple officials, about the invitation to participate in the meeting and the table, and then was pulled by the mysterious creature, from the side door to the side hall complex, to start today's real tour content.

The famous Polo Temple, also known as the Dongtu Pantheon, is home to thousands of gods and idolatry from dozens of foreign beliefs and sects. Therefore, day and night all year round, the incense is endless, and the voices of people are boiling.

Most of these subordinate temples are religious deities related to the sea or water: enigmatic creatures that are full of interest, and can even tell their prototypes and origins one by one.

For example, there are not only the traditional Middle Earth Taoist sects, the Buddha family Buddhism, and the two incarnations of the Dragon King of the Sea, but also the Theravada Buddhism that is prevalent in the South China Sea and the Eight Divisions of the Heavenly Dragon in Theravada Buddhism;

There are not only Feng Boyu masters from ancient witch worship, but also Mazu, a new local god from Fujian;

and even originated from the Tianzhu Brahmanism and the water god Valouna, who originated from the Shiva sect; Tanassis, the goddess of light and water of the ancient Persian religion; Akiko of Manichaeism; Nestorian protectors of the sea (patron saints) of St. Fangbo and water (heaven) envoy Mikaile; Tyre, the protector of the Hephurs.

All of them have more or less a place here, from the large hall to the small one room and one niche, and under the grand and expansive temple is the coexistence and intersection of various foreign gods, who have their own Middle-earth names, and allusions and myths that have been reinterpreted with local culture.

It makes people feel a sense of confusion and loss like a dream, perhaps, only in the magical land of China, can this kind of all-inclusive miracle and meteorological handle appear.

Among them, only the Tianfang sect members are more special, as one of the foreign religions from the ancient Great Food Homeland, they do not have specific worship images, not even the Pure Land Change, the scriptures change, etc., and there is no description of the murals of the classic story.

As the centerpiece of the prayer service, there is only a small stone room where a black stone is stored. But don't covet this stone, this is a holy relic invited back by the Heavenly Sect from thousands of miles away, and its predecessor is the Kaaba fragment of the Kaaba that was enshrined in the Kaaba in Mecca, the holy place of Western eclipse, more than 600 years ago.

According to the allusion to the monument erected from the side, the holy stone in this small heavenly room was originally located in the Royal Museum in Xijing, which was one of the souvenirs that Liang Gong occasionally obtained during his expedition to the west and paid tribute to the court.

At that time, the Great Food Kingdom collapsed under the attack of the Western Army of the Tang Mountains, and from time to time, the Aksum State, a large country in the southern part of the country, took the opportunity to cross the sea and invade the south, and successively burned the two holy places of Medina and Mecca in the Great Food Country, and even the Kaaba was also looted, and the sacred stones were also burned and broken into several pieces and taken away.

The largest of them, after the destruction of the Great Food, was presented as a tribute to the Westbound Platform of the Tang Ridge, which possessed the homeland of the Great Food, and then it has been collected in the Royal Museum, together with the ten-zhang bronze treasure tree privately collected by the last king of the Great Food, Mansour, as the declaration of the Tang Dynasty's foreign martial arts and war trophies.

It was not until the Jiayou Northern Expedition broke Chang'an that this sacred stone was sent to the capital of the Southern Dynasty along with many treasures of the royal palace for full viewing.

Among them, there is the local Kaaba monk, Abdullah Hussein Hugong, who gathered a lot of money to donate to the court, ransomed the holy stone and offered it to the side of the Polo Temple, imitating the story of the heavenly side and built a small Kaaba, which is the only sanctuary for the Middle-earth cultists.

Therefore, this stone chamber is called the Black Stone Golden Room of the Little Kaaba, and according to the practice of the Kaaba religion in this dynasty, all believers must go to the small Kaaba in Guangzhou at least once in their lifetime to make a pilgrimage and worship.

Later, Liang Gong went west, and after the Great Food Sect turned into dust, in order to avoid suspicion and clear up the system in Middle Earth, Tianfa Sect became their only name, and then it evolved into the so-called Tianfang Sect with false rumors.

Of course, this time and space has inherited the superiority and advanced nature of the Tang Dynasty at the top of world civilization, and there is no amulet as a young man in later generations, let alone the fanatical Wahhabis from the Gulf oil hegemons, who are full of camel dung, and the wind and rain of wealth and money.

In fact, in the ancient history of China, except for the Yuan and Meng, which were established by foreigners, and needed to rely on the Semu people to exploit other third-class people, these people were quite discriminated against most of the time on the land of China, and they could only hold their tails and be inferior beings.

Therefore, the annual Tanah Lot temple fair is also a special festival for these people and their mixed-race descendants, regardless of differences in beliefs and ethnic barriers, to come together to celebrate together, with various styles of clothing, various hair and skin colors, various languages and accents, and a mixture of crowds.

Time passes in the ancient eaves, caissons, murals, niches, blackened statues of gods, and curling incense, and what never passes is the piety that has endured over the years.

Whether it is a celestial believer holding a incense stick in his hand and calling it Ambala Ahura, or a Nestorian worshipper in the shrine and singing hymns, they walk through the common hall and the zenith in devotion and harmony, just like a friendly neighbor and salute for several weeks.

And in this piece of the niche hall with the hall, the most special is a courtyard, it is said to be the exclusive ancestral hall of the Liang family here, worshipping some so-called ancestral spirits, because almost all of them are female shapes, it is said to be quite effective, so it has become one of the favorite places of Guangfu scholars.

It's just that I was carried by a mysterious creature, and after stepping into it together, after seeing the things enshrined on the shrine of the main hall, I couldn't help but look extremely strange, and the familiar style and lines, character shapes and clothing styles, I couldn't help but have the illusion of a kind of time and space reversal again.

On the wall panel of the lacquer painting, there are images of girls in strange costumes.

The main wind of the four seasons in the green-haired checkered skirt? , The white-haired and hip-draped immortal golden black bird sister red, the Taketori goddess Penglai Mountain Huiye, rabbit ears Inaba Lingxian, the traverser senior, do you dare to be a little undisciplined, where is the eternal seventeen years old, and where is the nine-tailed wife fox?

Then I found it in the apse, the eternally young purple mother, the majestic and full of the head of the squatting lady, the kind and lovely sick second lady, the silver-haired maid, the cheongsam door, the witch full of discipline, the image of the black and white mouse and the magic cook, and was far-fetched by the ancients to crown all kinds of fertility, fetal protection, cowardice, epidemic, and even good luck, longevity, health and other functions.

As a female witch wish, I also enthusiastically took a few girls around me to go up and touch the body card to borrow good luck.

"Another damn oriental chef."

The enigmatic creature whispered beside me
