Chapter 374: City God Temple

We simply packed up our things and headed in the direction of Taizhou in the east. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info(/This way, all the beautiful scenery in the south, completely different from the mountains in the northwest, and completely opposite to the Tarim, a lake and mountains in the south of the Yangtze River. It's just that it's winter, and there's less greenery, but those lakes are still there. Occasionally, you can see people rowing on the lake without fear of pain, and there are many fishermen by the lake, and there are also fishermen......

In this weather, I have been recuperating at home in the north. The south is still a thriving landscape, especially the further south you go. We rested for a night and set off the next morning, and in less than the morning we had already followed Provincial Road 74 to Yuhuan County. This Yuhuan County is not a very big place. However, the hotel here is still five-star, and it looks a bit of a metropolis.

I said, "That's it." "I opened two rooms, the price was okay, and we went out after moving in. I walked around the street for a long time to be familiar with this place, don't look at this Yuhuan County, there are at least three dialects alone, what Taiping dialect, Wenzhou dialect, Hokkien dialect are all said. And they're all locals. It seems that this place is still mostly migrated.

But that's not our focus, our focus is on finding things. Kanmen is in the east of Yuhuan County, and we drove to Kanmen at night, because it was night, many things could not be seen clearly. It has been until one or two o'clock in the evening, and the street market here is still lively.

When I meet a company that does white things, here we do white things, which is completely different from where we are. The most prominent feature is where is the Taoist priest you are looking for...... To be honest, I don't even know what those Taoist priests are doing. I really don't know what I'm doing.,Very standard god stick.。 I'm going to you, more amateurs than we are.

Looking at the cars driven by those Taoist priests and the Chinese cigarettes in their hands, I completely understood. Actually, when we first passed by here, we thought it was an actor invited from here. Really, we have popular red and white ceremonies there, and we invite some theater troupes to praise them. I thought it was the same here, but I didn't expect it to be a professional Taoist priest... Professional.

I think these Taoist priests can win the actor and queen, and the professionalism and uselessness of the performance are completely for the living. Not to mention anything else, just this time method, there is a TM hair. The most important thing for this over-the-dead person is to choose the time, and if the time is chosen, an hour is more useful than a week. The ghost door is not open, and you will be overtaken by your sister. The most annoying thing to watch is not us, but the old Dao Ji Yuan.

Ji Yuan shook his head while looking at it and said, "The faction is different, but this TM is not professional, and he is more dedicated than my professional." What did these actors and actresses read in the end, it was Taishang Laojun's "Qingjing Sutra", this TM also came to exceed? Surpass yourself. Ao Xiang laughed and said, "These Taoist priests are not bad if they don't recite the Diamond Sutra." Lao Dao said angrily: "Will they?" It's already good if you don't recite the Heart Sutra. ”

I smiled and said, "What are you going to do?" Eliminate harm for the people? Lao Dao sighed and said: "Orthodox Daomen, used as a cash cow by some scammers, we can't help it, Zhou Yu beats Huang Gai, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer." I said lightly: "Let's go, let's go, we're here to find things, not to find things." ”

Those who can do things must be far away from the city, and we have come to the beach unconsciously. The sea breeze is blowing gently, a little cold, looking at the dark sea, blowing the cool wind, I find that it is also very beautiful at night here. It's a little desolate, listening to the waves brushing and brushing, if you build a big villa here, blowing the sea breeze every day, it's actually a good choice.

I don't know if there are villas for sale in this place, if there is, I will buy one, and I can still come here for leisure and vacation in the future. When you buy a yacht and retire, you can retire in this place. Or go further south, where you can see the sea. Dorjee said: "Big brother, there is no hair here." I said, "Then the map comes out and see what this place is." ”

Dorjee took out the map, and Ao Xiang took it and waited for it. I looked at the map and said, "We're still in the location called Akaguchi, and the opposite is Oshikashima, so let's go to that island tomorrow when we have a chance." Dorjee pointed to the map and said, "Big brother, you see this place is called Water Dragon, Kanmen Water Dragon, it must be a good place, what can be found." There is also a place called Longhu Mountain..."I interrupted Dorjee's words and said: "Okay, you, these places are places with a lot of people, what can you find, do you think this Longhu Mountain is still the Longhu Mountain in Jiangxi." ”

I looked at the map and said, "We'll have to look somewhere there are fewer people." Ao Xiang said angrily: "This Garland, just say it, why do you say everything, such a big place, where do we go to find it, do you turn this gate around?" Lao Dao said: "No, let's go check the Kanmen Zhi, there must be some news." I looked at the sea and said, "Let's go, go back to sleep, tomorrow we will divide into two ways, Lao Dao and Dorjee will go to check Kanmen Zhi, and Ao Xiang and I will go to Daludao on the opposite side to have a look." ”

The way back felt particularly short, and it didn't take long to get back to the hotel. I took a shower and fell asleep. How I wish someone in my dream would give me some clues. But as soon as I slept until Dorjee called me. I was still a little confused, and Dorjee said to me: "Lao Dao has gone to check the Kanmen Zhi, let's set off now." "We rented a boat, and when we arrived at Daludao, we found that this is a scenic spot in Yuhuan County, and there are still quite a lot of people.

Although this is not the peak season for tourism, there are still a lot of people here. At least not some barren mountains. It is said that there is any Jigong Mountain, Xitou Mountain, Snake Mountain or something, can this TM be called a mountain? I've seen Kunlun majestic, these are all small dirt bags. Damn, there's still no clue at all. Not to mention clues, there is nothing suspicious. Until the afternoon, when we dragged our tired bodies back, we wanted to jump into the sea.

On the way back, I passed by the one who did the white business yesterday. The door of this house is surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside, and something must have happened. If you do a white thing, you will never be surrounded by people like this. Ao Xiang still wanted to see the excitement, but I stopped him and said, "My own affairs haven't been done yet, what do you care about others?" Ao Xiang smiled, and we went back to the hotel.

After a tiring day, I fell asleep after eating a little casually. After sleeping for about an hour, Dorjee and Lao Dao came back. Lao Dao woke me up and said to me: "This place, it looks like it's nothing special, if it's special, it's the City God Temple here." I said curiously: "What is there in this City God Temple, what else can it be to worship the City God." Lao Dao said: "The city god temple here, according to the Guangxu edition of the "Yuhuan Hall Chronicles", the county town god temple was built in Ding Wei in 1727 Yuhuan Hall Zhanfu, Qianlong Jiashen burned in 1764. In the 29th year of Qianlong in 1764, the Yuhuan Hall donated funds to the royal court, and mobilized local forces to fund and help, which took two years to complete the renovation and restore the old view, and the scale was slightly expanded than before. Wang Tingxiang also set up a rebuilt inscription: stating that at the beginning of his tenure, he sacrificed the city god in the thatched rubble, and there were city gods in the counties, and there were still orders to obey, so he generously donated money to build ....... ”

I waved my hand and said, "You say the point, don't tell me about the history of the City God Temple here, I'm not interested in this." Dorjee said with a smile: "Don't worry, big brother, this City God Temple, it is very accurate to ask for a signature." I said angrily, "That's what you found?" Damn, I asked God to worship the Buddha. Lao Dao laughed and said, "Let's go and see it tomorrow, let's talk about it when we get there, it's useless to tell you so much now." ”

The next day, we arrived at what they called the City God Temple. The city god temple has five main halls, three rooms each in the east and west horizontal xuan, five door courtyards, the east and west wings are built with partial halls, the east side is called the new palace, the west side is called the harem, the hall goes straight out of the platform, the six doors are painted with the door god, lifelike, the city god statue of boxwood carving, sits on the highest god cabinet in the hall, there is a Buddha called "Tai Sui Ye" on the east side of the god cabinet, a statue called "cabinet official" in the west, the civil and military judges are divided into both sides of the city god statue, on both sides of the hall, there are four tall military generals, the torso is burly, the head wears armor, the back is planted with a flag, the hand holds a big knife, the iron fork, hideous, mighty and terrifying.

On both sides of the generals, each stands two soap officials (errand servants) holding iron chains, standing on both sides of the soap officials in the east has white impermanence, there is a red yuan division in the west, there are six statues of gods on both sides of the hall, three on each side, called "six divisions", in charge of life and death, good and evil, merit and demerits in the world. Outside the temple gate, there are horse-headed generals holding white horses on both sides, which are the mounts of the city gods on patrol. There is a stone drum on both sides of the gate, commonly known as the big stone face. There are eight steps straight out of the temple gate, and there are a pair of exquisitely carved stone lions on both sides of the highest level, which are divided into left and right.

Walk into the harem from the west door of the main hall, three facades, the jade carving in the middle station sends the son Guanyin, a stone mountain on the west wall, there are hundreds of caves, there are various small statues of gods, known as "the picture of a hundred sons", good men and women ask God to send their children here, burn incense and repay their wishes. On the east wall, there are ten halls of Yama, punishing evil ghosts, and sinners go up the knife mountain and get down to the oil pot, warning the world to do good and not evil.

To the east of the main hall is the new palace, which is the bedroom of Chenghuang and his wife. Legend has it that there was a gentleman in Houjiao, and on the day his daughter left the cabinet, he suddenly fell ill and died, and his parents were heartbroken and went to the witch to "tell spiritual songs". Lingge said that his daughter was married to be a wife by Chenghuang. The gentleman believed it to be true, so he sent all the dowry to the City God Temple, and displayed it in the room on the east side of the new palace, like a newlywed's cave room. The town is closed on weekdays, but it is open for people to watch on Birthday Day.

There is a tan in front of the temple, all paved with stone slabs, which can accommodate a thousand people. There is a moon gate on both sides, a corniced corner in the middle, a stage with carved beams and painted buildings, a second floor in the backstage, a dressing room on the ground floor and a wardrobe, and an actor's dormitory on the upper floor. There are several rows of steppers on both sides of the stage, which are specially customized by wealthy families for women and children to watch. On both sides of the moon gate, there are teahouses for the official wives and ladies to watch the play. The first three rows are two corners each, and the last three rows are one corner, and tea is served.

Today is not a day of temple fairs, it is still crowded. I said angrily to the old man: "What is there here, there are so many people, what can you find?" Dorjee said this time: "Big brother, we can't always think about running in a place where there are few people, we need to think backwards." I looked at Dorjee in surprise and said, "Guy, it's okay now, you can think backwards, I want to see how you think backwards." ”

Dorjee smiled and said, "Don't worry, wait for me to ask Hu Yin for a signature, I heard that it is very accurate to ask for a signature here." I nodded and said, "Go ahead." Dorjee ran to Hu Yin to ask for a signature. Lao Dao continued: "Don't worry, don't worry, wait for this, I will only come out at night, this is just me going, if others go to check the Kanmen Zhi, they can't find it." I really lost my patience, Ao Xiang preemptively said: "I said the old way, don't sell it, when is it, the master is still lying on the bed, how can it be the same as that Garland." ”

Lao Dao laughed and said, "I said, I don't know if I'm in a hurry? But there is no way, it won't come out until the evening. I said angrily: "It's only morning now, and it's going to be midnight, what the hell will appear in this City God Temple?" At this time, Dorjee took a sign and came back, which read: "Kanmen Water Dragon, diving on the river beach, if you want to enter the water, you need to swim in the water." ”

When I saw this, I seemed to understand, but I didn't seem to understand, I really didn't understand the meaning of this. Lao Dao got this sign and said: "Yes, it's really accurate, it seems that this time we are really going to the sea." I was surprised and said, "Really, what the hell is going on?" Lao Dao said: "There is a mural here, which will not be revealed until the evening, and there is a mystery in this mural, which may tell us where the soul revival grass is." I asked curiously, "What did you see in that Kanmen Chronicle?" ”

Lao Dao said: "There's nothing in there, but there's an illustration here, talking about this more interesting phenomenon, the illustration above is the mural that can be revealed, do you know what that mural is?" It's the mural on the little gold jar you brought back from Tarim, it's just not so vivid, after all, I've been hungry at home for so long, and I have some impression of that thing, which can't be wrong, it's just incomplete, so we're going to see what the mural here is tonight, and there must be clues in it. ”
