Chapter One Thousand and Ninety-Three
To tell the truth, I sat in the sedan chair with the demon and couldn't feel the passage of time, so I thought about it and said something that I didn't say, the sedan chair suddenly stopped very smoothly, and the bone curtain in front of us was suddenly picked up at this time, and I poked my head in very respectfully, and made a gesture to us: "Two grandfathers...... The City God Temple has arrived! ”
City God Temple is a temple used to worship the God of the City God, City God, also known as the City God in some places, is one of the important gods generally worshiped in the religious culture of the ancient Han nationality, most of them are played by the famous ministers and heroes who have contributed to the local people, and it is the god of the Han folk and Taoism who believes in guarding the city. He is the magistrate of the underworld, and his authority is equivalent to that of the mayor of the yang realm. Therefore, the city god is related to the city and develops with the development of the city.
The Chenghuang originated from the local patron deity that was sacrificed in ancient times and evolved through Taoism. Chenghuang originally refers to the moat, and Bangu's "Two Capital Endowment Order": "The Beijing master repairs the palace room, and the city god is declared." "The ritual of worshipping the god of the city god was formed during the Northern and Southern Dynasties. During the Tang and Song dynasties, the belief in the god of the city god flourished. The Song Dynasty was listed as a national ritual. The Yuan Dynasty named him the King of Yousheng. At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the title of the god of the city god in the world was sealed, divided into kings, dukes, marquis, uncles, etc., and sacrificed at the age of the year, respectively, by the king and the prefecture and county to keep the order. The meaning of Ming Taizu's move is "to observe the good and evil of the people and the good and evil, and the Ming will not be spared."
Chenghuang is one of the natural gods worshiped by the primitive belief of the Han Chinese people. From the primitive beliefs and folk beliefs of the ancestors of the Han nationality in China to the religious beliefs of later generations, they originated from the agricultural civilization. The god of the city god gradually transitioned from a god of nature to a god of personality, and in traditional societies, it was hoped that the heroic spirit would remain after the death of the hero and protect himself as a local god.
However, the City God Temple in the underworld is very different from the City God Temple in our mindset, after all, this is just an official position, and it does not represent any guardian saint, if there is really any guardian saint, the staff of this City God Temple can live a happy and well-off life just by relying on the power of faith and worship, how can they live such a nest?
But I'm limited to the city god temple of what kind of wind and snow mountain temple, and so on in the TV when the hero is at the end, run into the broken temple to hide, generally there is a mountain god in it, and down, not even a statue of the mountain god is also quite sad, but the city god temple here still looks good, at least from the appearance of although it doesn't look like a golden or anything, at least it still looks quite magnificent, I feel that appearance, than when I went to Chengdu to play, The Wenshu Monastery of Qingyang Palace that I saw was still a level bigger.
Of course, I don't know if it's because this city god temple is like this or because of poor and sour reasons, there is not even a basic law enforcement agency of the kind of doorman and attendant, there is only a bare gate, this ghost sent us a nod, and walked to the gate, knocked on the knocker hard, and seemed to report something, and then I heard the sound of a chain, and the sound of a creaking mechanism, this huge door, at this time slowly opened, revealing the doorway, And a cold aura that I don't know how to describe.
Under the guidance of the ghost, I didn't hesitate with the demons, and walked in with the back, as soon as I entered the door, I felt that the surroundings were filled with a kind of green light spots, a bit like wolves waiting for an opportunity in the dark, it was really creepy to see people, but we have been to places like the Valley of Mass Graves I don't know how many times, although this situation makes us feel a little uncomfortable, but we are still barely able to persevere, just stand in front of you with a very ugly person, although you will be very uncomfortable, But your life is still not in danger.
After the two of us stepped into the inside of the City God Temple, the door behind us creaked shut, and the ghost in front of us clapped his hands lightly at this time, and the entire City God Temple was lit up instantly, but the light was green, and it looked a little like the kind of ghost fire we often said, but after a closer look, we found that what we thought was a ghost fire at first glance was actually a skinny bone frame one after another, and the light emanating from their eyes, At first glance, it looks a bit like the skull on the sedan chair we sat on before, but as soon as we got closer, we found that there were still very faint soul fluctuations on these bone shelves, and these bone shelves were actually ghosts...... This temple is actually a ghost to use as a tool for lighting!
Such a bloody and even inhumane situation, I can't help but make people like me, who have always admired democracy, feel particularly uncomfortable, these ghosts are dead, and they all have to be treated like this, it is really unlucky enough, I carefully checked those ghosts, only to find that they seem to be bound to the wall, there is something similar to a formation on the wall, as long as it is triggered, it can directly burn the bound soul body, let it shine...... Just like now, it is like a lamp hanging on the wall, but with that hint of gloomy light, it is not the sound of the disappearance of the wick of the lamp oil, but the trembling sound of the soul that can be heard clearly in the ears, cruelly makes me very heavy every step I take, because I don't know if there is a ghost in the dense ghost lamp on this road......
"Your Excellency...... According to the laws of the underworld, as long as they dare to do something similar to rebellion against the officials of the underworld, they will be nailed to the wall until their soul origin completely dissipates into nothingness, and every time their soul origin is ignited, the sins they have committed will surge in their souls over and over again, this is the punishment for them, and the punishment they deserve...... "This ghost seems to have seen the ghost lamp on this wall that I have been staring at, Thinking that I was very curious about this ghost lamp, he nodded at me very respectfully and explained to me.
When I heard this, I could only sigh silently in my heart, and motioned for this ghost to continue to lead the way, because after entering this city god temple, I felt very uncomfortable, and I was very eager to leave this ghost place as soon as possible......
