Chapter 214: Ghost Country Divine Palace
The matter of the Seven Star Tomb, Zhang Fan took it to heart.
After worshipping the old man, everyone returned to Feng County. Hongye Zhenren rushed back to Longhu Mountain because he had to deal with some development matters of the next Daomen.
Just after sending Hongye away, Zhang Fan's mobile phone suddenly reacted.
took out his mobile phone and opened it to see that it was Fang Hao's 'Sky Eye' who captured Xiao Ling's location again.
There is something about Xiaoling, Zhang Fan is extremely concerned. When I started the special phone, three photos popped up immediately.
Then the answer given by Tianyan was that Xiao Ling was in Yudu in the southwest at the moment, and he was constantly going to Fengdu, the county seat of Yudu.
Fengdu, a ghost town?
Zhang Fan was stunned for a moment, the legendary Ghost Country Divine Palace, what is Xiao Ling going to do there?
After that, Zhang Fan decided to part ways with Shi Buyi, and this time, he didn't even bring a monk, only Xiaoling's cat, Xiaobai.
Xiaoling's matter is basically Zhang Fan's private matter.
Since it was a private matter, he naturally didn't want anyone else to get involved.
Without much explanation, Zhang Fan immediately took Xiaobai and rushed to Chongqing.
This is a journey to pursue beauty, and Zhang Fan can't hold back his heart's desire for Xiaoling.
Two days later, he came to Yudu alone with a cat.
Yudu, the mountain city and the water city, is a rather special place.
Because the place where the dragons of the three major dragon veins in China converge is in the Sichuan-Chongqing area.
It doesn't belong to any of the three dragon veins, but it is extremely aura.
If the overall image of the three dragon veins is the gathering of three dragons and the three dragons holding the pearl, then Yudu is the brilliant dragon ball.
Not the land of the dragon vein, but the land of the dragon ball.
This city of mountains and rivers is very legendary because of its special geographical conditions. Among them, the Ghost Country Shrine is undoubtedly the most representative place.
The famous mountain of the ghost town, like Longhu Mountain, Maoshan Mountain, Zhongnan Mountain, etc., belongs to one of the 72 blessed places of Taoism.
Speaking of which, the Ghost Kingdom Divine Palace still has some relationship with Heavenly Master Zhang Daoling.
First of all, Zhang Daoling, the ancestor of Taoism, was a court official before he attained Taoism, and he served as a county commander here.
Later, Zhang Daoling got the true biography of 'Taoist ancestor' Lao Tzu, and the idea of five buckets of rice was born here.
At that time, in the land of Bashu, the main belief was not Tao, but witch.
Therefore, Zhang Daoling's Taoist thought is actually more or less a fusion of the teachings of ancient witches and witchcraft.
Wu is not synonymous with evil, Wu is the most primitive belief of Chinese civilization.
It can be said that the belief in the world begins with witches. Taoist belief begins with witchcraft.
The predecessor of the Heavenly Master Zhengyi, the Five Bucket Rice Dao, was founded in such an environment.
In other words, this place can be said to be the place of enlightenment of Taoism.
Later, Zhang Daoling's grandson Zhang Lu would come here and create the Pingduzhi that belonged to the Heavenly Master's Dao.
In order to facilitate the spread of Taoist beliefs, Zhang Lu's Heavenly Master Taoism was more deeply integrated with local witchcraft, and a new type of religion was formed, the Ghost Sect.
The ghosts of the ghost cult are not ghosts and ghosts, and they are evil spirits.
Rather, it represents a sacrificial god of faith. The so-called ghosts are also gods.
Among the nine songs of the sage Qu Yuan, there is a "Mountain Ghost", whose ghost is a god.
This is the same as Zhang Lu's ghost religion, saying that it is a ghost religion is actually a divine religion. Ghosts, gods, ghosts, and gods.
The fate comes and goes, and it can be seen. Ghost Country Shrine, the beginning of Taoism.
This place is so special, no wonder Zhang Fan is so surprised.
Why did the sweetheart he had been looking for come here alone?
This reminded Zhang Fan of the information about Xiao Ling that Tianyan had compiled before.
In the mysterious mural discovered not long ago from the Oni Country Shrine, a portrait of Shinoei actually appeared.
With such a connection, Zhang Fan didn't think about it, and rushed to the Ghost Country Shrine non-stop.
The day after entering Chongqing, he took a car overnight to his destination.
Fengdu, the city is not as developed as he thought. The development of this place can be said to be somewhat backward compared with the top 100 counties in Suzhou.
It is precisely because of this that the folk customs preserved here are more authentic.
Because it was the New Year, Zhang Fan just caught up with a small temple fair here, Halloween.
On the street, there are groups of floats, all of which are made of paper and the images of ghosts and gods. The Jade Emperor, the Queen Mother, the fairy, the ghost.
This temple fair with local characteristics touched Zhang Fan deeply.
This is a kind of traditional folk culture, and it is not easy to preserve it until now.
People hope to use this reverence for ghosts and gods in exchange for good weather in the coming year.
On the street, children wore some scary-looking ghost masks, but they were bursting with laughter.
Obviously, the people here are not afraid of ghosts and gods. They have more respect for ghosts and gods.
Regardless of whether this is feudal superstition or not, this kind of belief is precious.
Because of faith and inheritance, although the people here are not as prosperous as the outside world, they are happy, which is the life that Zhang Fan yearns for.
When he came to this place, Zhang Fan found that he had been deeply attracted by the simple folk customs here.
He suddenly had an idea in his heart that if he wanted to start a family one day, he would definitely choose this home.
After admiring a grand temple fair, Zhang Fan came to the Yangtze River and looked at it from afar.
On the other side of the Yangtze River, a majestic mountain peak stood in front of him.
On the top of the mountain, the huge statue of the Jade Emperor stands on the top of the famous mountain, exuding an ivory-white brilliance in the sun, and it looks brilliant.
That is the famous Fengdu ghost town, the famous mountain ghost country shrine.
There is a way: half of the river is divided into yin and yang, and a god statue is a hundred ghosts.
A Yangtze River divides the two worlds of human and ghost, yin and yang, people live on one side, and ghosts and gods live on the other side.
The river is full of rolling waves, like the water of the Yellow Spring, surging endlessly.
Now people have built a bridge over the Yangtze River, and in the past, there was only one way to get to the Oni Kingdom Shrine on the opposite side, and to take a river boat.
At that time, the river crossing boat was just a flat boat.
If you are not careful, it is very likely to capsize under the surging river.
Therefore, the water of the Yellow Spring is worthy of its name.
"Ling'er, will you be over there?"
Zhang Fan looked at the Ghost Country Divine Palace opposite and said.
Zhang Fan has come to the place where Xiao Ling is, but in this small county, he can't find a beautiful woman.
At this moment, suddenly the little white meow in Zhang Fan's arms screamed.
"Meow!"
Immediately afterwards, this guy broke free from Zhang Fan's arms.
Then he started running down the street.
"Xiaobai, did you sense Ling'er?"
Xiaobai's sudden move made Zhang Fan excited.
Zhang Fan didn't think much about it, and hurriedly chased after him.
