Qi Xiaoting had a bottom in her heart, and her emotions slowly stabilized. He said to the people, "Let me ask you, do you see three people, two men and one woman?" One of them was dressed in a black cotton robe and a corrugated hat, and his face was wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, and the face was triangular and triangular;

"The woman is wearing a pink embroidered coat, a green skirt with a green onion heart, grease and powder on her face, and a pearl butterfly on her head?"

"It's three, and there are indeed these two people in it!" A middle-aged man in his forties holding a child in the crowd said.

Qi Xiaoting walked over and said to the speaker: "Uncle, did you see these three people with your own eyes and listen to what they said?" ”

The middle-aged man holding the child nodded: "Yes." ”

Qi Xiaoting: "What you see is indeed not me and them (referring to Li Hong and the four), right?" ”

The middle-aged man holding the child shook his head: "No, absolutely not, the appearance and dress are completely different." ”

Qi Xiaoting turned to everyone: "Let me tell you the truth, I and this old Taoist (referring to Li Hong) are the people who sent the Eight Dragons Altar to the tomb."

"Last night, we and his wife (one finger Scud, Dongsheng, Li Heier) in the Tanglin Zao Wang Forest, and the three people this old man saw fought for most of the night, and when the day was almost bright, we stayed in the Tanglin Yuelai Inn to rest.

"I slept until noon today, and I came over after lunch, this, Yuelai Inn can prove."

Scud stood up and said, "I'm a Scud from the village, not far from here, do you know me?" ”

"Know, know. Our two villages are less than ten miles away, and there are daughters in our village who are married to your village, and there are daughters-in-law in your village who are married to our village. We still talk about you a lot! ”

Scud: "I'll prove it: Qi Xiaoting, oh, it's this girl (referring to Qi Xiaoting) who is right, we have been together last night and this morning." Indeed, they did not destroy this idol. ”

Dongsheng also stood up and said: "I am Dongsheng from Buckwheat Village in the south, let me prove that we have fought with two of the three people you have seen in the past few days, and I have always been with Qi Xiaoting, and it was never them who did it." ”

Li Hei'er also stood up and said: "I am Li Hei'er from Li Zhifang Village in the northwest, and I will prove that Qi Xiaoting and this old Taoist are also from our Jianjin Prefecture, and they do good things for the people of our Jianjin Prefecture everywhere, and they will never play a destructive role." ”

Li Hong stood up and said: "Let me tell you the truth, that old Taoist and young woman are actually two snake demons, especially that woman, who has a grudge against the dragon in the Eight Dragons Altar, I won't go into detail about the specific situation.

"When they heard that Long Yi was going to be sent back to the Eight Dragons Altar, they ran to him, obstructing him in every possible way, and causing trouble everywhere. No, blame Ryuichi for their sabotage and slander Ryuichi's image. ”

"I see!" The person in the crowd who saw the snake demon said: "That old way, looking at it, I looked at it, but I didn't expect it to be done by them, it's really not a good thing." ”

As soon as this person scolded, the crowd began to discuss:

"The gods are fighting and taking out their anger at our people's temples, which is not true! This temple has been around for hundreds of years, and it has been very effective. ”

"yes, it's destroyed like this, and I don't know if it will work if it needs to be built?"

"You can't spend less money!"

“…………”

Taking advantage of this effort, Qi Xiaoting dragged Li Hong to the person who had seen the snake demon Lao Dao, and asked, "Uncle, did the old Dao say that we are going to destroy the stone statue of Dong Zhongshu at our next stop?" ”

The person who had seen the old way of the snake demon said: "That's what the old way said. ”

Qi Xiaoting said to Li Hong: "Since he said so, then the next step, they are likely to go to Dongzi Temple to cause sabotage."

"I don't think it's as good as this, let's pick up all the pieces and let Long Yi glue them in the space, and a few of us hurry to the north of the village in Houjiu County to protect Dong Zhongshu's stone statue."

Li Hong: "The temple is destroyed like this, and the people don't know who destroyed it, will they let it go?" ”

Qi Xiaoting: "I'll tell them and promise to repair the Shadowless Temple within three days." I really didn't let it go, so I asked Scud to find an acquaintance to vouch for it. ”

Qi Xiaoting said to the villagers, but the villagers didn't do it, and an old man said: "I can see it, they are demons, you are gods, you will definitely be able to fix us."

"But if you leave, we won't even be able to find a master of incense. In case you don't come, where are we going to find you?

"This temple is related to the lives of the people of a village. You have to fix everything you say before you go. Once someone dies, who do we go to settle the score? ”

"Yes, it's not clear who sabotaged it, and since you've caught up, you have to give us an explanation. Life is at stake, and you can't just leave it like this. Someone in the crowd said.

Qi Xiaoting thought for a while and asked, "How much does it cost to hire a craftsman?" ”

An old man stretched out his thumb and said, "If you don't talk about it, you will get a hundred and ten taels of silver." ”

Qi Xiaoting: "That's it, the matter over there is also very urgent, I will first put down two hundred taels of silver as a mortgage, and within three days, if we can't repair it well, or we can't come back, you will use this silver to ask the craftsman to repair it." What do you think? ”

The old man muttered to the people around him and said, "It's okay." If you fix it within three days, we will give you back the money. However, it must be repaired as it is, and when the appearance is changed, we will deduct the silver. ”

Qi Xiaoting: "Yes." ”

Qi Xiaoting flashed into the space at the back of the person, and while filling the box with silver, she briefly told Long Yi about the situation outside.

"That's good." Long Yi exclaimed: "The common people don't understand us, and it's normal to have suspicions. Silver plays a reassuring role. You sweep the pieces in, and I glue them together with Jona and it will be done in less than a day. ”

Qi Xiaoting: "Jiaona's eyes? ”

Ryuichi: "Much better. This child does not want to deal with the people, and you don't have much fighting, and she enjoys it in her own palace. ”

Qi Xiaoting saw that Jiao Na was sick and worked hard when she was repairing the Ox Bone Bridge, so she didn't say anything, and flashed out of the space with two hundred taels of silver.

With the silver of the white flowers, even if the "perpetrator" does not come back, the Shadowless Temple can be repaired. People didn't say anything more.

Qi Xiaoting and her entourage bid farewell to the people of Wang Jun Village and hurriedly ran to Dong Zhongshu Temple in Houjiu County.

Dong Zhongshu was born in 179 BC and was a native of Dadong Guzhuang, Guangchuan Town, Jianjin Prefecture. He was a thinker, philosopher, politician, and educator in the Western Han Dynasty. From ancient times to the present, the state of Jianjin has the highest official position and the greatest influence on history.

His "Three Strategies for Heaven and Man" and "Spring and Autumn Dew" are based on Confucianism, based on the framework of the five behaviors of yin and yang, and the essence of the ideas of the hundred schools of thought such as "Huang Lao", and establish a neo-Confucian ideological system with theological tendencies.

Dong Zhongshu believes that "the great origin of the Tao comes from heaven", and nature and personnel are subject to the mandate of heaven, so the political order and political ideology that reflect the mandate of heaven should be unified.

Dong Zhongshu's Confucianism maintained the centralized rule of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and made certain contributions to the social, political and economic stability of the time.

In the first year of Emperor Yuanguang of the Han Dynasty, Dong Zhongshu served as Liu Feiguo, the king of Jiangdu Yi, for 10 years. In the fourth year of Yuan Shuo, he served as the prime minister of Liu Duan, the king of Jiaoxi, and resigned and went home after 4 years.

After that, he wrote books and taught at home, and whenever there was a major event in the imperial court, he would let envoys and court captains come to his house to ask for his opinion, which shows that he was still highly valued by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

……………………………………

"Dong Zhongshu's hometown is the east hometown on the east bank of the east tributary of the Qingliang River, why did the temple be built behind the village of Houjiu County on the west bank of the east tributary?"

Qi Xiaoting asked the scuds beside her as she walked.

Scud said as he walked: "Good question, about the construction of Dong Zhongshu Temple and Dong Zhongshu stone statue, we still have a legend in Jianjin Prefecture!" ”

Qi Xiaoting became interested when she heard this: "What legend, tell everyone about it." ”

Scud: "It's a long story, I'll tell you about it briefly. ”

So, Scud told the following story:

In his later years, Dong Zhongshu mainly wrote and taught in his hometown. He personally taught more than a thousand students. The common people compared him with Confucius, saying that Confucius was a "great sage", Dong Zhongshu was "Dong Ersheng", and followed Confucius to call him "Dong Ziye".

Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, was a monk when he was a child. After becoming the emperor, he lifted the monk to the sky and called on all localities to vigorously build temples and temples.

The people in Dong Zhongshu's hometown thought to themselves: If there is no god, please ask the god, and if there is no saint, make a saint, build a temple statue to worship. We really have a "Dong Ersheng" here, why not build a temple and make a statue to promote the merits of our ancestors!

So, all the villagers who have money to pay, those who don't have money, work together to transport six or seven tons of big stones from Shanxi.

When this big stone was transported to the west of the current Houjiuxian Village, it could not be transported. The rolling log under the stone stopped rolling, the purlin-thick crowbar was broken, and the arm-thick rope was broken, but the stone remained unmoving.

Just when everyone was scratching their ears and cheeks in a hurry, the sky was still clear at first, and suddenly the wind suddenly rose, the dark clouds rolled, and it rained heavily

Houjiu County and Dong Guzhuang, the two villages face each other across the river, and they communicate with each other. Dong Guzhuang has a "two saints", and the old county village often uses this to encourage children and grandchildren to study hard, hoping that there will be a "three saints" and "four saints" in the village. Later, there were really a few people who got ahead.

The villagers admired Dong Zhongshu and had long had the idea of building a temple for Dong Zhongshu here. It's just that Dong Zhongshu's hometown is Dong Guzhuang, and because of the face of the neighbors, it's not good to be too strong.

This time, a temple statue was built for Dong Zhongshu, and the old county village paid the most money and labor. Now that the big stone had been transported here and did not move, and that it had suddenly rained from God, a famous old man in the village said to the people:

"The center of the theological system that Dong Ziye advocated during his lifetime is the 'induction of heaven and man'. In order to guide the actions of the earthly people, Heaven expressed hope and condemnation by means of sunny days, cloudy days, windy days, rains, and disasters.

"This big stone has never been transported thousands of miles away. There are still six or seven miles to get home, and suddenly there is no movement, this is one of the providence ......"
