Chapter 230: Hidden in the City
It is not uncommon for the folk to worship the fox fairy, the fox fairy is one of the five immortals, also known as the god of wealth, has been worshiped by the people, and is worshiped by the people of the Han people.
Among them, the fox fairy is the most powerful, all along, the fox in the myth is also the image of good and evil, the formal saying, the fox and the raccoon dog are two kinds of animals, but people are used to it, collectively referred to as the fox, and only the fox has a fairy spirit, the raccoon seems to be just a vulgar body.
And in the folk, since ancient times, there is no fox charm, not a village saying, the meaning is very simple, if you want the house to be peaceful and prosperous, you have to worship and revere the fox fairy.
But it is rare to build a temple for the fox fairy, the folk generally worship the fox fairy, there are two ways, the first is to offer the statue of the whole god next to the Buddha hall and the ancestral hall at home, the whole god statue includes nine gods, that is, the God of Wealth, Fu, Lu, Shou three stars and five families, arranged in three rows in order.
The images of the five families are all portraits, kind eyebrows and kind eyes, except for the white fairy who is attached to the image of the white old lady, wearing skirts and phoenix crowns, the other four are all male portraits, wearing official uniforms and warm hats.
Another way to worship is to build a fairy house in the corner of the courtyard and enshrine the tablets of the five families.
Xianjialou is a wooden temple model more than three feet wide and more than two feet high, and the workmanship is almost the same as that of a real temple, with ridges, overflow corridors, etc., and four doors in front.
The tablet of the five families is offered in it, and the offerings are also placed in the Xianjia Building, and a wooden tray will be made under the Xianjia Building, about half a foot high, and a round hole is dug at the junction between the upper part of the support and the Xianjia Building, and a round hole is also dug on the side of the support, the purpose is to facilitate the five families to enjoy the food offerings, and it is convenient to enter and exit.
I know the regular fox fairy temple, only Wutai Mountain has a fox fairy temple, but in Guanzhong is very particular about worshipping immortals, in the orthodox Taoist theory, the animal is very lowly, even if the immortal is called a bad animal, only the folk sect worships the animal fairy, so the fox fairy temple is almost invisible.
Ying Chengyuan told the truth, and also untied the knot between him and Zhu Qi, stayed in Bailuyuan to accompany Zhu Qi for a few more days, and Tian Ji took us to Lugogou.
"You say......" asked Tian Ji in the car while playing with the cigarette stick Zhu Qi gave him. There really is a nine-tailed fox. ”
"What's impossible, you've killed a poor person with one punch, we've seen fewer monsters, you count with your fingers." Gong Jue said with a smile.
"What have you all seen?" Xue Xinrou asked curiously.
"That's a lot, there are records in the Book of Mountains and Seas alone, Qi Poor, Chi Wei and Candle Jiuyin, and there are many strange and ferocious monsters, I guess you haven't even heard the name." Tian Ji hurriedly answered.
"All of them were seen in the ruins that were discovered?" Xue Xinrou asked.
"That's right." Tian Ji nodded disapprovingly.
I was suddenly stunned, and Xue Xinrou's unintentional question also reminded me: "Why do all these monsters recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas appear in places related to the Nine Dragons of the Moon Palace and the Twelve Ancestral Gods?" ”
"yes, I didn't believe these things were real until then, but why are they only in these two places?" The palace lord was also puzzled.
"You don't want to think about how early the Moon Palace Nine Dragons Boat appeared, it appeared in ancient times, if what is recorded in the Book of Mountains and Seas is true, it should have been a long time ago, whether it is these divine beasts or monsters, most of them were captured by these gods as guards." Tian Ji said with his hands on his hands.
"Maybe there's another ......possibility," I thought about it.
"What is possible?" Xue Xinrou asked.
"You don't have this memory of going to the Temple of the Ancestral God, we have encountered a huge Demon Flower Mantis, and we are covered in bronze armor, and there are butterfly-faced guards in the temple, and the creepy butterfly queen." I buried my head in deep thought for a moment and said. "It's as if they've been made."
"Manufacturing...... You mean to say that the monsters in the Classic of Mountains and Seas are all created?! Xue Xinrou was taken aback.
"The Nine Dragons of the Moon Palace and the Twelve Ancestral Gods are all worshiped as gods, since they are gods, what's so strange about creating these monsters?" I looked up and said seriously.
The place where Zhu Qi let us go, called Lu Walk Ditch, is not a ditch, but a mountain beam, in ancient times, there were many deer foraging on it, hence the name, Lu Walk Ditch in the Guanzhong Shenmu, this place in the Qin Dynasty for the north of the county, called the new Qin.
We arrived at the deer ditch has been two days later, the road up the mountain is very tortuous, to the top of the mountain, see Zhu Qi told us the fox fairy temple, cross the threshold into the mountain gate, the small fox fairy temple jumped in front of you, the temple is not big, even a little simple, although slightly dilapidated, but the incense is extremely prosperous, come to worship the fox fairy good men and women in an endless stream.
When I entered the temple, I saw the statue of the god enshrined, it was a statue of a kind eyebrow, but the tail of the nine heavens was displayed behind, and I didn't see anything unusual about this fox fairy temple for a whole day.
Tian Ji found the steward of the temple, donated incense in front of him, pulled the steward down to a secluded place, and asked about the origin of the Fox Immortal Temple.
The steward told us that the fox fairy temple was built in the Qin Dynasty, when the people who were harsh on taxes and miscellaneous taxes were not able to make a living, coupled with countless deaths and injuries from labor, there were nine-tailed fairy foxes who appeared in the world, and everything changed overnight, like waking up from a dream, and there was no labor conquest, and the nine-tailed fairy fox also became a fox mountain, and has been guarding the wind and rain here.
Therefore, the people in the vicinity built a temple on the mountain beam opposite the fox mountain to worship the nine-tailed fox.
After the steward finished speaking, he raised his hand and pointed behind us, turned around to see the rolling mountains, and the steward told us that the mountain was changed by the nine-tailed fairy fox.
After listening, we were confused, after saying thank you, we walked to the mountain beam and looked into the distance, although the origin of the fox fairy temple told by the steward was absurd, but this mountain is quite similar to the nine-tailed fox.
From the mountain situation, the southern part of the mountain head of the deer ditch should be the shape of the fox nose and the fox's head, the mountain body that spreads from the fox head to the east has the image of the fox body, and then the big mountain col that recess to the north is the dividing line between the fox body and the fox tail part, the most obvious thing is that the nine mountains are arranged from large to small in a row, which should be the nine-tailed metaphor of the fox, and the four small mountain beams extending to the south in the lower part of the main mountain range of the fox body part should be the four-legged meaning of the nine-tailed fox.
"Fox Mountain is just like a nine-tailed fox, is it the same place as what we are looking for?" Tian Ji looked back at the humble temple. "How do you look at it, this temple has nothing to do with the Qingqiu Jade Ruins."
"What are you thinking?" I saw that the palace lord was silent alone.
"The steward just said that during the Qin Dynasty, the people here were harsh and taxed, and the people were not able to make a living, and the labor led to countless deaths and injuries here, and the labor ...... "The palace lord and I looked at each other." Why is there a need for labor here? ”
"Tian Ji, you are from Guanzhong, what did you build in the Qin Dynasty?" I asked.
"Yo, there's something you don't understand." Tian Ji suddenly laughed.
"I'm not an immortal, of course I know." I gave him a blank look.
Tian Ji was triumphant, took out Zhu Qi's cigarette stick, stood on the mountain beam, and pointed to the high-spirited appearance in the distance: "Listen, since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, ......"
"It's the Great Wall."
"Wait for me to tell me." Tian Ji was interrupted by Xue Xinrou and sighed heavily.
"According to historical records, more than 20 vassal states and feudal dynasties have built the Great Wall in history, so there are Great Walls of different eras in most areas of China, especially in the northern region." Xue Xinrou is capable and intelligent, and she is engaged in archaeological research, so she knows far more about this than us, and said to us with a smile. "There are two Great Wall ruins of different eras in the territory of Shenmu, the Great Wall of Qin and the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty."
"The Great Wall?!" I scratched my head and walked back and forth.
"At the site of the Qin Great Wall in Shenmu, the northern section is connected to the Yijin Huoluo Banner of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region in the north, extends to the south in the east of Yandaliu Pagoda, and ends at the Liangcun Village on the side of the Dianta, with a total length of about 40 kilometers, and the southern section is located in Gaojiapu Town, which is about 400 meters long." Xue Xinrou continued to concentrate on it.
"Labor is used to build the Great Wall......" Gong Jue suddenly raised his head. Think about it, in order to cover up the construction of the temple, Emperor Qin did not hesitate to use Afang Palace to confuse the public, so that everyone thought that the collected wood and stone and Lantian jade were used for the construction of Afang Palace, although it can indeed hide people's eyes and ears, but the number of people involved in the construction is as many as hundreds of thousands, why is there no clue about the temple? ”
"Nonsense, if there is, it will be found sooner rather than later, and it will be our turn." Tian Ji replied disapprovingly.
"Wrong, we've always been wrong, not nothing, but always there, right in front of our eyes, but too familiar to pay attention to." Gong Jue was excited.
"There has always been a ......," Xue Xinrou's appearance was also a little confused. It can't be, if the temple has always been known, why has no one ever found it? ”
"Gong Jue is right, it's not that no one hasn't found it, in fact, many people have found it and seen it, but they haven't noticed it." The corners of my mouth slowly turned up, and I smiled at each other.
"What the hell are you talking about?" Tian Ji looked at us blankly. "If so, where is the temple?"
"The Great Wall!" The palace lord and I are in unison.
Among all the ruins built by Emperor Qin, except for the underground altar of the Aoki River and the Jieshi Golden Palace at the bottom of the sea, the other ruins are known to everyone in the world, but few people understand the real reason for the construction of these ruins.
The Lishan Imperial Mausoleum is the imperial mausoleum of Emperor Qin, and it is also the place he used to hide Suihou Zhu, but unfortunately Emperor Qin did not know in the end that the Suihou Zhu that he tried in every possible way to hide separately from He's Bi was actually fake.
Then there is the Afang Palace, the world knows that the Qin Emperor is extremely extravagant, for his own selfish desires at the expense of the people and money, imitating the elite of the world's architecture, to create a new palace, if the real purpose of the Qin Emperor is to confuse the public, then his purpose has been completely achieved, everyone only saw the Afang Palace, but could not see the hidden secrets of the Afang Palace.
The last ruin, which is still praised, Emperor Qin began to build another immense, more majestic project while building the Afang Palace, this project, so that everyone remembers its name, the Great Wall.
Great hidden in the city.
Everyone knows the Great Wall, until now we can see this barrier erected in the mountains, but no one will ever think about it, subtly think that the role of the Great Wall is to defend against foreign enemies, but perhaps, there are other things hidden behind the construction of the Great Wall.
Like a temple......
