Chapter 36: The Water Mirror Country
Shuijing Country is located in the Pan of the West Sea, and the area is active and vast.
The people of the country are burly and strong, and even the women are in a muscular figure. They have fair skin and colorful hair, most of which are golden.
The monarch and queen of this country believe in Taoism, so the whole country can see the Taoist temple built everywhere, and the temple is enshrined in the three Qings, namely the Yuan Shi Tianzun, Lingbao Tianzun, and Taishang Laojun.
"Why is this country called Water Mirror Country?" Qixia looked at the colorful heads of people coming and going on the street, and thought it was very interesting.
"Speaking of this Shuijing Lake, you must go and see it, it is a national treasure of this country, and this name comes from this."
Mo Yin put his hands behind his back, and when he saw that the people who came and went were staring at them, he thought that the foreign citizens were very strange.
"Water Mirror Lake?"
"Yes, this water mirror lake is located in the highest mountain here, Tian'e Duolunwu Mountain, Tian'e Duolunwu means to heaven."
Qixia said curiously: "Isn't it only the Queen Mother's Kunlun Mountain that can reach the sky?" ”
"Yes, only Kunlun Mountain in the world is the only path to heaven in the mortal world, and this Tian'e Duolun Wo Mountain is just an exaggeration of his small country and widows for themselves, in fact, that mountain is not as high as Huashan in the Great Liang Country."
Mo Yin saw another red-haired woman staring at him, half a head taller than himself, her nostrils were as long as a funnel, and her mouth was like a covered boat, which was extremely ugly.
On a whim, he also stared at the woman, who saw him staring at him with a pair of handsome eyes, and ran away with a 'whoosh'.
At this time, there were more and more onlookers, and one of the green-haired old men could speak the Central Plains language, and he said to Mo Yin and Qixia: "You two look so strange and ugly, why don't you go to the inn to change your clothes, cover your face, and go out for a walk, don't frighten the children." ”
The two laughed when they heard this, and said yes in succession.
Turning a street and alley, the two of them went to a no-man's land and changed their appearance, Mo Yin changed his red hair, grew tall, and his lips were full of beards, thick and dense, covering his entire face.
Qixia didn't want to be like this, so she wore a hat, and a long veil hung around the hat to hide half of her body.
The two went shopping in Kyoto for a day, and Qixia felt strange and surprised everywhere, not as fun as Da Liang Guo, so she couldn't afford to be interested.
Mo Yin stood at the corner of the street, took her shoulder, pointed to a very high spire in the distance and said to her: "Take you to the Sanqingguan tomorrow, that Sanqingguan is their royal Taoist temple, and it is interesting inside." ”
"Really?" Qixia thought to herself, what's so fun about the Taoist temple?
But when I think about a group of colorful and big-nosed Taoist priests, isn't it a weird and interesting scene to kowtow to worship Sanqing?
I felt curious, but I didn't ask Moyin. The two of them found a clean and comfortable inn to rest, and they had nothing to say for the night.
Early the next morning, Mo Yin took Qixia to Sanqingguan.
The Sanqing view is really magnificent, a heavy spire tower towers into the sky, the highest tower is the top of the main hall, there is a huge bronze bell, I think it is struck up and can be heard in a hundred miles radius of the capital.
When I entered the temple, I saw that those Taoist priests were dressed the same as those in the Central Plains, but there were men and women, and there should be a mixture of men and women in this Taoist temple.
After walking through the triple gate, I saw the main hall, and saw the three immortals wearing colorful flowers, which was quite festive.
After entering the palace gate, Qixia raised her head to look at the dignity of these three people, and suddenly couldn't help but laugh.
It turned out that the Sanqing statue was made in imitation of the appearance of the native people, with round copper eyes, funnel nose, covered boat mouth, and yellow, red, and green hair. Lingbao Tianzun held a durian in his hand, Yuan Shi Tianzun held a pineapple in his hand, and Taishang Laojun held a rambutan in his hand, which is a fruit abundant in Shuijing Country.
Qixia laughed a few times and quickly stopped her voice, seeing that the people around her were solemn, a group of male and female Taoist priests sat on the futons on both sides with dust brushes and chanted scriptures. It was also in order, and the ink was hidden with three sticks of incense.
At this moment, a huge blue water tank in front of the incense case 'banged', lifting a column of water, startling Qixia.
She already thought that there was something strange about this vat, so she lifted her veil and leaned over to see what was strange in the vat.
This one is incredible!
It turned out that there was a huge mica mussel in the tank, and the water column was this giant mussel spraying water.
When the mussel saw Qixia looking at her, she slowly opened the mussel shell: there were more than a dozen huge night pearls in the shell, and they were all pale pink, and the real number was rare.
At this time, the Taoist priest who had been knocked out came over and sighed: "This female benefactor is really fateful!" This mica mussel only opens its shell once in three years, and you actually bumped into it! ”
Qixia was silent, and at this time, Mo Yin also came over to take a look: I saw that the pearl was as big as a goose egg and as small as a chicken, all shining and dazzling. I saw that the mussel meat was red, and an iron nail was inserted between the red flesh and the white ligament!
Qixia pointed at the iron nail with her finger and looked at the Taoist priest.
The Taoist priest smiled happily and said arrogantly: "This mussel is the mussel that has become a fine for ten thousand years at the bottom of the West Sea, and it is my master who nailed it here with mana to worship the supreme and noble Sanqing Zun God. ”
Qixia was silent when she heard this, and her heart was extremely uncomfortable. Seeing that she was not happy, Moin took her hand and went to the apse.
