On the first day of the sixth month, it is auspicious.

Huang Jie is on an order to travel far away this time, so the pomp and circumstance of going out can't be weak, not to mention that just the Huangzhou Road water, land and navy transfer envoy Huang and the imperial edict official envoy Huang's banner made the people who didn't know much about the rules of the Song Dynasty officialdom surprised and delighted.

Of course, the main owner of the Huangzhou water and land transfer yamen is still Yao Zheng, but the official flag generally does not write a sub-character on it, and the words "imperial edict" are not words that can be easily written on the flag, and the combination of the two naturally bluffs many people think that Huang Jie has become a big official without the imperial examination.

Even for many displaced people who are still stranded in Huangzhou, it is natural for Huang Jie to become a big official, and there is nothing wrong with it.

Therefore, the old and young people of Huangzhou who got the news, they also gathered at the west gate early in the light of day, and even dozens of old people in the city (the old man and the old man who referred to the old man and the old man of the old man) also came to the foot shop next to the west gate early to sit, only to wait until the time was with Huang Jie, so as to strengthen his momentum.

In addition, the people and horses of various temples and Taoist temples inside and outside the city, which have always been silent, also set up a colorful platform inside and outside the west gate overnight, and took the initiative to take over the work of worshipping the gods before the trip.

This Song people have the custom of sacrificing to the gods before leaving, such as Su Shi in the poem "Sizhou Sangha Tower": "I used to travel south in the boat to Bian, and the sand blew the face for three days against the wind." The boat people prayed to the spiritual pagoda, and the incense did not receive the flag and turned around. When I turned back, I lost the long bridge in an instant, but I didn't go to Guishan to eat. To people who have no heart, I have my own personal pleasures. Ploughing the fields wants rain and sunny, and those who go to the wind complain. If all men are to pray, the creation should change over time. “

However, the meaning of Su Shi's words is not just to worship the gods. On the contrary, it is absurd and vain to denounce the sacrificial and peace-seeking theory!

You see, he said that he wanted to go to Bian. But when it was difficult to walk against the wind, the boat people persuaded them to sacrifice to the gods. The incense is not finished, and the wind changes, so it also chases away the mind. But when I found that "I have my own personal pleasures", I thought that the cultivator likes the rain when he works, and when he harvests, he wants the weather to be clear, and when you are in good wind, others are against the wind, but if the sacrifice to God is that the true God can chase away the wishes of all people, isn't it "the creation should change every day"?

Since marrying Su Lianniang and receiving ten cars of dowry, Huang Jie naturally studied the anthologies and poetry collections of Su Shi and Su Che carefully. Naturally, I had read this poem, but I didn't care about such a kind act of the two Buddhists and Taoists in Huangzhou.

After all, since the last time he was in the second year of Zhenghe, he threw out the "Treatise on the Day" (see Chapter 138 and 139 of Volume 2 for details), but the three major temples in Huangzhou, Dinghui Temple, Chengtian Temple and Anguo Temple, were offended thoroughly, and he had to find an opportunity to come to him for a theory several times, although I don't know why he stopped coming to the door to provoke later, Huang Jie also came to a lot of well water with them not to violate the river water, and last year's Laba He was under Anqing City, and he did not post the "Treatise on the Day" again to find trouble. Perhaps Buddhism will see this as Huang Jie's move to back down.

However, at that time, the Huangzhou Daomen also put on a posture of watching from the wall, but now he took the initiative to take over such an errand, of course, Huang Jie was a little curious. He also quietly asked Fushou to inquire, only to know that the two Buddhists and Taoists didn't need money for this appearance.

Anyway, this custom of sacrificing to the gods before the trip. Huang Jie didn't dare to refuse, so he could only let them. But just as he left the house. When I came to the West Gate, I found that there was something wrong with the sacrificial gods placed on the colored platforms of the two Buddhist and Taoist families in front of the door. Specifically, it should be said that there is something wrong with the sacrificial gods posed by the Buddha Gate.

First of all, it should be said that the gods of the Song Dynasty can be mainly divided into two kinds of land gods and water gods, of which the land gods have Zitongjun, Wutong gods, Zigu gods, etc., and the water gods have dragon kings, Dongou goddesses, Lingxian marquis, etc.

Then the Huangzhou Daomen sacrificed out of the Zitong Jun, this Zitong Jun is just for the Shu Road god, according to the Northern Song Dynasty "Taiping Huanyu Ji" and other books: this god surname Zhang, the name of the evil (a work of Yazhi), the Jin people, living in Shu of the Qiqu Mountain, after "the battle died and the temple exists". Legend has it that Tang Xuanzong and Tang Xuanzong were blessed by him when they went to Shu, so they were named "King Jishun". The Song Dynasty also helped the Song army to pacify the rebellion of Wang Jun and Li Shun because of its legend, so it was named "King Yingxian Wulie" by Song Zhenzong during the Xianping period. At the same time, Taoism regards him as the emperor of Wenchang Silu, and worships him as the god who dominates fame and position.

It's just that the Buddha sacrificed a statue of a Bodhisattva holding a vajra pestle to make angry eyes, wearing a full set of Song armor, Huang Jie asked Fushou to inquire before, the people of Buddhism have not yet put out this statue, and now they suddenly saw it, but they couldn't remember who this Bodhisattva was, so they had to ask, but they replied that it was Wei Tuo Bodhisattva, which also surprised Huang Jie.

It is said that there are three kinds of statues of Veda in the Buddhist temples in the world, which represent different meanings: first, Veda puts his hands together, and the demon pestle is across his chest, which also means that Veda welcomes foreign monks to live in this temple, which is one of the symbols of the jungle temple in the ten directions; Second, the demon pestle in the hand is to touch the ground and stand, the demon pestle to touch the ground is to imply that this temple has abundant funds and materials like the earth, and can withstand the permanent residence of foreign monks in this temple, and it is also a jungle in ten directions; Third, the demon pestle of Wei Tuo is carried on the shoulder, indicating that this temple is a temple for descendants, and foreign monks are not welcome to live in this temple.

But now, the statue of Wei Tuo posed by the Huangzhou Buddhism Gate is wearing a Song armor, and he is holding a vajra pestle to make a gesture of angrily splitting his eyes, so I don't know what they want to do!

And no matter what they wanted to do, the convoy arrived outside the city gate, only to see Cao Zhizhou, Chen Tong as the leader, more than 30 people wearing old official clothes and longevity clothes lined up, Huangzhou Mansion and the heads of the various departments at the end of the big ticket in front of the city gate set up a banquet table, prepared water and wine, this is a very formal and grand ceremony!

Congratulations, drinking, formal clothes, Fuyuan, the ceremony is even more than the promotion of Texas officials, and Hu Yu read out a pun Li essay in a loud voice, detailing Huang Jie's relief to the victims, giving away grain, funding for the repair of official roads, recovering Taihu County, returning the people, opening up a tea farm in Huilongshan to settle the displaced people, etc., and now he has the official position of the official imperial edict, and will travel far to survey Huangzhou to Chengdu, Chengdu to Bianliang, and the road from Bianliang to Huangzhou. A major event that is beneficial in the present and in the future is now to be undertaken by a young man who has just turned fifteen, which is not only the pride of Huangzhou people, but also the glory of Huangzhou people!

The Song Dynasty emphasized the text, so the custom of sending off with poetry was also quite popular, this time there were several send-off poems and Huang Jie to see off, even Cao Bao also chanted a song "Send Huang Jie into Shu", poetry: "Huang Lang to the west, the flag chariot and horse." Smiling and stepping into the clouds, Shu Road has been flat since then! ”

However, what makes Huangzhou people remember more deeply is that Huang Jie's concubine Zhou Yannu played and sang "Yulin Ling, Shu Road Difficult" on the side of the road, the words said: "The mountains are stacked, the strange rocks are craggy, and the plank road is difficult to walk." The parents of the family and the country are destined to be kings, and Lang Jun is not crowned, but he has a smooth road. Wife and children go together in a dream, and they are eight thousand miles away. The road is long, a river is vast, and the shoulders are thousands of miles away. ”

Lang Qing and concubine knew each other, but they looked at each other, and saw joy in the morning and dusk. What is the dilemma for the ages? Loyalty, filial piety is difficult to complete. Go west to Bashu and persuade you to be bold and ambitious. Don't tie your hands to the waves and hit the sand, and the world is shocked! (To be continued.) )
