Chapter 18: The Discovery of Niu Kelian

It turned out that my guess was correct.

The result of the exploration is indeed as I expected, in the Xuantang Hall that Qi Zhi and I found, there is a shrine to the god of the Northern Heavenly Emperor, and the idol is a human-faced bird, with a green snake hanging in each ear, and the winter god Xuanming who also steps on two green snakes under his feet.

In the Mingtang Hall discovered by Chunting and Xue Nan, the statue of Zhurong, the god of the Southern Heavenly Emperor Yan Emperor and the beast body and human face, is enshrined in the Ming Hall Hall discovered by Chunting and Xue Nan.

After exploring these four halls, everyone stood still outside the Ming Hall Hall, and they all looked sad, not knowing what the use of these four inexplicable halls was.

And although I have already guessed the true purpose of these four halls, there are also two doubts that I still don't understand.

The first is the problem of the Taimuro.

Second, is there any mystery in this Ming Hall hall?

And these two questions, in fact, have the same focus, and that is the naming problem here.

These four halls are dedicated to the Emperor of the Four Directions and the God of the Four Seasons according to their respective directions, and since they are such an important hall, their names must not be casual.

In that case, why is it called Taimuro and not Vientiane Jingu?

The Ming Hall is also the Vientiane Shrine, but why does a Ming Hall appear again in the Vientiane Shrine?

Could it be that there are other mysteries in this Ming Hall?

Qi Zhi looked at me thoughtfully, stretched out her hand and shook it in front of my eyes, and asked curiously.

"Brother Chuan, what's wrong, look at your absent-mindedness, did you think of something?"

Hearing Qi Zhi's question, I nodded and told her my guess about this and the doubts that had not yet been clarified.

"The four halls here are not built at random, the colors of these four halls correspond to the direction of the five elements, and at the same time, the temple enshrines the god of heaven and the statue of the four seasons corresponding to the direction, it seems that this should be a place of sacrifice specially set aside by Wu Zetian.

However, I still don't know why this place is called Tai Mur, and why this southern hall is called Ming Hall, and in the middle of here, the most important earth temple in the Five Elements Hall, why has disappeared again. ”

Since everyone is together, my doubts naturally can't escape everyone's ears, and Chunting smiled slightly after hearing my question, it seems that he finally stopped pretending to be mysterious, but planned to say his opinion.

"Han Chuan, you can see from these halls that these are already very good, but the rest of the doubts are not because you don't have enough knowledge, but because of Wu Zetian's special arrangement.

The so-called Ming Hall is the palace of Bu Zheng, but the Ming Hall is also a place of sacrifice, the history records that Wu Zetian built the Ming Hall is divided into five halls, the middle is the Tai Room, the Tai Room reaches four out, it is divided into four rooms in the east and west, north and south, the east is called Qingyang, the south is called the Ming Hall, the west is called the general chapter, and the north is called the Xuantang.

And this place seems to be built in strict accordance with the Ming Hall, and the layout of the Ming Hall is enlarged, the original Ming Hall is only four rooms, and here it is enlarged into four halls, although the scale has changed, but the purpose has not changed at all, it is still used for sacrifices. ”

Hearing this, I looked up at the plaque at the door, and then I understood why this place was called Taimuro.

This is indeed the Vientiane Shrine, but the Vientiane Shrine is divided into three floors, and now it seems that each of them can be regarded as a separate palace complex.

And the architectural purpose of this first floor is exactly what Wu Zetian used for sacrifice, so the plaque will be engraved with the name of the place where she sacrificed.

That is, the Taimuro.

Seeing that this group of people seemed to understand whether they understood or not, Chun Ting was no longer stingy with his tongue, he paced back and forth around the Mingtang Palace, and continued to talk about the specific content of this so-called Tai Room.

The ancients believed that the Son of Heaven could not only deal with the government in a palace, but that the Son of Heaven should live and govern in the direction corresponding to this season, so as to achieve the unity of heaven and man, so that the country can be smooth and the people can live and work in peace and contentment.

It is precisely because of this statement that Wu Zetian's sacrificial chamber is divided into four chambers, which together with the four chambers echo the four seasons, the five elements, the five emperors, and the five gods, and are used to show that the emperor is ordered by heaven and is in line with the will of heaven.

Among them, the east is a B wood, the wood is growing, the main blue, so the Qingyang Hall is blue bricks and green tiles, which is enshrined in the god position of the Oriental Emperor Qingdi Taihao, the statue is a bird body and human face, multiplying the spring god of the two dragons, and the spring sacrifice of the priest.

The south is the fire of Bingding, the main red, the red bricks and red tiles of the Ming Hall Palace, the god position enshrined inside is the Southern Heavenly Emperor Red Emperor Yan Emperor, the statue is the beast body and human face, and the summer god Zhu Rong who steps on the feet of the two dragons, and the summer sacrifice is preserved.

Western Gengxin gold, the main white, the general chapter hall white bricks and white tiles, the worship of the god is the Western Emperor White Emperor Shaohao, the statue of a human face tiger claw with a snake in the left ear, the autumn god of the two dragons harvests, the autumn sacrifice of the office.

The northern non deuce water, the main black, the black bricks and black tiles of the Xuantang Palace, the worship of the god is the northern emperor Xuandi Xuandi, the statue is a human-faced bird body, each ear hangs a green snake, and the winter god Xuanming who also steps on two green snakes at his feet, serves the winter sacrifice.

After introducing the four halls, the smile on Chunting's face gradually faded, his brows furrowed again, and he watched us say something that even he hadn't understood yet.

"The four temples guard the four directions, and the most important central position should also have a large hall sitting in the middle palace, the central Wuji soil, the soil is the foundation of all things, it stands to reason that the god enshrined in the central hall should be the Lord of China, Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor, and the statue is the mother of the earth."

It seems that my speculation is not unfounded, and there is indeed a lack of one of the most important temples in this central location.

I secretly thought that maybe this inexplicable disappearing temple was the clue we should explore.

"Chief, I've found something here."

Just when we were wondering, Niu Kelian's voice came from a distance.

I suddenly realized that at some point, he had quietly left without a trace.

"Ke Lian, here we are."

With Shen Lang's loud voice, Niu Kelian followed the sound to find him, hiding one hand behind him, and the expression on his face was relaxed.

Shen Lang's curiosity could never be satisfied, and seeing that Niu Kelian had just said goodbye, he looked at Niu Kelian who was walking towards us and shouted.

"Ke Lian, when did you leave, where did you go just now?"

"When I arrived at the second hall just now, I guessed the true purpose of these temples, and I thought that since there was a lack of a hall in the central location, I thought that there must be some kind of mechanism that we hadn't discovered."

Niu Kelian smiled honestly, although he looked a little silly, but the words in his mouth revealed his shrewdness.

"I saw that Chunting guessed the layout of this place one step ahead of me, and it was useless for me to stay here, so I quietly walked aside and continued to explore everywhere."

After listening to it, I secretly sighed, although this Niu Kelian is not as shrewd as Chunting, but he is the second person after Chunting to see through the truth.

Before I could finish sighing, Niu Kelian stretched out the hand hidden behind him, and the proud expression on his face was obvious.

"The heavens live up to the painstaking people, Chief, this is what I found."

We looked at him and saw that it was actually a pen in his hand.

An extraordinarily delicate and extraordinarily beautiful pen. Take a hundred plating to read the latest chapter of "Guanshan Chronicle Claw Book House" for free for the first time.
