Chapter 596: City God Temple
Ningcheng (Fu) Chenghuang Temple, a Taoist temple, also known as Ningcheng County Temple, is located at No. 22, County School Street, Haishu District.
City God, also known as City God, City God. It is one of the important deities commonly worshiped in the Chinese ethnic religious culture, played by the famous ministers and heroes who have contributed to the local people, and is the god of the Chinese folk and Taoist belief in guarding the city.
The main hall of Ningcheng City God Temple is dedicated to the Ningcheng Mansion Zheng Er Tasting Division City God Weiling Gong Ji Xin Da Lao, during the Ming Hongwu period, it was named "Ningcheng Mansion City God Temple". Ningcheng City God's Temple hall building belongs to the southern style building, red wall mud tile, now the main building in the temple is composed of the wall, the gate, the front patio, the instrument door, the stage, the middle patio, the main hall, the back patio, the apse, and the east and west side halls and the left and right wings.
Ningcheng City God's Temple is located in the downtown area of Ningcheng City, Zhejiang Province, is an important Taoist temple in Ningcheng area, was built in the second year of Liang Zhenming (916), has a history of nearly 1,000 years. Wind and rain, the change of dynasties, Ningcheng City God Temple has also experienced the rise and fall.
With a history of more than 600 years, the Chenghuang Temple of Ningcheng Mansion is a relatively well-preserved ancient building in the history of Chinese architecture, and its status is higher than that of the Chenghuang Temple in the magic capital.
The "Cathay Pacific Pedestrian Street" built in 1995 was in the limelight at that time. On this quaint commercial street, no more than a kilometer long and no more than 50 meters wide, there are many shops, traders gather, bustling all day long, and the opening of the new mall of the City God's Temple is also included in one of the eight practical things of the Ningcheng government that year.
The shops on Guotai Street near the county temple are many peddling antiques, calligraphy and paintings, as well as household items, including "Zhang Xiaoquan" scissors, Yixing pottery pots, Putian incense candles, large and small commodities almost cover the necessities of life, everything.
At that time, such an antique street can be described as the only one in the province, rare in the country, a few years later Hangcheng Hefang Street began to be renovated.
At that time, the City God Temple was very prosperous, which can be proved by three points: 1. The road in front of the City God Temple was set as the first one-way road for cars in Ningcheng. 2. Set up a beggar restriction area at the entrance of the City God Temple.
3. Every July and a half, when the temple opens the door the next day, you will find that the ground and the cracks of the door are full of incense from the citizens.
As for the pedestrian street built in the later 98 years, with this city god temple business district next to Tianyi Square, collectively known as the city god temple pedestrian street, which is more than the existence of the Gulou pedestrian street, and the Nantang old street, which opened in the later 12 years, is one of the three major pedestrian streets in Ningcheng.
Of course, the excitement will always decline, the opening of Tianyi Square, but also led to the City God Temple was extremely diverted, plus the most important City God Temple in the pedestrian street needs a variety of renovations, resulting in the closure of the road every once in a while, or the closure of the market, and the subsequent City God Temple Pedestrian Street part of the relocation to other places because of the transformation of urban roads, also led to the decline of the glory of this area.
However, even so, this is still the favorite place of the people of Ningcheng, and it is also the most lively night market at night.
It's just that the arrival of the end times really makes everything seem so insignificant, and the subsequent subway construction has now become a desolate construction site, and the huge potholes on the road are still left there, telling all kinds of desolate times.
And the City God Temple Pedestrian Street, also because of the early period of the end of the world, by the Navy Department of this area of the military ZF set in, in the joint efforts of all the survivors, the City God Temple Pedestrian Street transformed into a human stronghold, in the subsequent time, the entire City God Temple and Tianyi Square as the center of the area, radiating the range, also by the ZF forces and various survivors, quickly cleaned up and occupied.
This is now an area with the largest sphere of influence, the most complex power situation, the largest survivor population base, and the most chaotic scenes in Ningcheng.
At this time, in this place, there is a trading point, an organization ruled by Jiang Shan, who wants to cut into this area of power and make key preparations for the control of Ningcheng.
....
....
Jiang Shan smoked a cigar and enjoyed the beautiful and magnificent ancient buildings of the City God Temple.
All kinds of woodcut murals, all kinds of old-fashioned wooden structures, and the beautiful characteristics of the chicken coop roof all made Jiang Shan feel a rare relaxation in such an environment as the end of the world.
From the bluestone steps outside the temple, walking through various Langfang, and then entering the main hall, looking at the statue of the city god in front of him, Jiang Shan's impetuous mood calmed down at the same time with his respectful hands folded.
Chinese people naturally believe in Buddhism, which has a great relationship with the 5,000-year-old cultural tradition of China, as well as historical records.
Jiang Shan followed his father for a long distance at the beginning, and he also offered Bodhisattvas at home, and the truck was also driven by someone, which is the instinctive habit of some Chinese people.
Looking at the city god in front of him, although the end of the world is no longer the world it used to be, this kind of reliance and sustenance in people's hearts is still very desirable.
And after the end of the world, the ZF personnel of the stronghold of the City God Temple are obviously also protected and orderly, and they have not been destroyed by the panicked people after the end of the world, and from the way into this stronghold, most of the survivors seem to live in the pedestrian streets and various shops around the City God Temple, although the overall environment is a little dirty, but the order is not bad.
Jiang Shan put his hands together above his head, did not kneel and bow, but prayed a few words in his mouth.
In his heart, he was nothing more than thinking that the child in Zhang Ling's womb could be born safely, and then hoped that the child could grow up healthy and healthy in such a last world, and he was satisfied with all this.
As for himself, he doesn't care at all, in the last days, strength is the foundation of life, and the prayer at this time is nothing more than to ask for peace of mind for the child who is about to be born.
Some of the empty main halls of the City God Temple were somewhat covered with dust, Jiang Shan walked leisurely for a while, looking at everything in the hall like sightseeing, after all, he had never been here before the end of the world.
The sound of footsteps came, and Jiang Shan, who looked up to check the beautiful pictures on the wall, did not look back, and from the familiar footsteps, he knew that it was Chen Long who had returned.
"It's over? How's the chat? ”
Jiang Shan asked, and Chen Long walked up to his side and looked up at the picture on the wall.
"It's going well, but the discount they want to cooperate with is very low, and they are not interested in the layout of the Gulou trading point branch, listen to their people, there are too many forces inside and outside this Tianyi Square, and the people in their ZF stronghold are also a little struggling now, they can only protect themselves, and many of the survivors' power and population are obviously more than the stronghold of the City God's Temple, and they are a little overwhelmed, so this cooperation is only limited to trading!"
"Also, Team Chen said to stay here and talk about something else, let me come down first!"
Jiang Shan nodded, took his cigar, exhaled the smoke, put his left hand on Chen Long's shoulder, and said: "Actually, I don't need to cooperate with them, just go through the motions, after all, they represent ZF, even if it is ZF after the end of the world, it is also the largest organization of mankind!" And the people of ZF, at least not like other forces, are reckless and reckless, and they are much more reasonable! ”
Holding Chen Long, they walked out of the palace gate, Jiang Shan looked at the quiet City God Temple, and continued with a smile: "Okay, the construction of the trading point branch is completed, and the next step is the propaganda work!" ”
"Remember, let all the forces that exist here know about the existence of our Gulou Trading Point Branch! I don't need to be afraid of their thoughts, I just need to see the flow of people pouring into the drum tower, gold and diamonds pouring into the trading point, this is our ultimate goal! ”
