Chapter 311: Jiang Shan Mountain God, Ghost Immortal Liu An

Seeing the thoughts of the traversers, Xiang Yu smiled:

"Haha, how dare someone of my Xiang arrogantly call the god of Zhongshan, that is Jiang Ziwen, don't you dare to call the god of Zhongshan, refuse Sun Zhongmou's title of Zhongshan God, and change the name to Jiang Shanshen?"

"There is only one god of Zhongshan, that is, the ancient god Candle Dragon, which is the same as the Taishan Mansion Jun an age or even more that seems to exist in the open world, the god of Zhongshan has long fallen, Jiang Ziwen and I can steal this place, not to mention that the Zhongshan Shrine I occupy is not the real Candle Dragon's dormitory, but Jiang Xin's Divine Mansion in the past, which was rebuilt with the ruins of Zhongshan Shrine after Jiang Ziwen became a god."

What is the existence of the god of Zhongshan?

Even if Gao Jingfei is unheard, he has heard of this name.

It is recorded in the Book of Mountains and Seas that the god of Zhongshan is called the candle dragon, also known as the candle yin, the candle nine yin, regarded as day, the eye is the night, the blow is the winter, the call is the summer, the drink is not eaten, the rest is the wind, and the body is thousands of miles long. "Notes on the Classic of Mountains and Seas" says that "Candle Nine Yin" means "the place where the candle shines on the nine secluded places", not the name of the candle dragon.

At the beginning, the overlord was based on Jiangdong, Jiangdong is also known as Jiangzuo, including most of the current Jiangnan and Anhui Province and other regions, Jinling is naturally among them, so after the death of the overlord, the soul of the dead can wander in the Jiangdong region of the netherworld.

Although this Zhongshan is in the ancient city of Jinling Jiankang City, but the Zhongshan God that the travelers are familiar with is actually the seal of Sun Quan of Eastern Wu, originally only Jiang Ziwen, the general of the late Han Dynasty, who was the captain of Moling, chased thieves and died at the foot of Zhongshan in the northeast suburbs, Sun Quan of Eastern Wu built the capital Moling, which was later Jiankang, and then named it "Zhongshan God", and changed Zhongshan to Jiang Mountain, and gave to build a Jiang Wang Temple.

Folklore has it that after the god Zhongshan ascended the throne, "the disaster stopped, and the people did great things." ”

In other words, this Zhongshan Mountain God is only a Yin God who is a god after death, and he is not a real god of heaven and earth in ancient times, and he cannot be compared with the legendary Candle Dragon, the god of Zhongshan. After all, in the description of the Classic of Mountains and Seas, this candle dragon is definitely a first-class ancient god, and it is also a top existence among many gods and demons. It's not just a god like Zhongshan.

Guo Shihong opened his mouth and asked:

"Dare to ask the king, where is Prince Jiang now?"

Jiang Xin, Ziwen. Three Kingdoms Guangling now Xuzhou people, it is said that people are frivolous, the end of the Han Dynasty is Moling Wei, chase the robbers to the foot of Zhongshan, buried in Zhongshan after the battle is killed, the Southern Dynasty Qi Yongming is named the emperor, the Southern Tang Dynasty chases Emperor Zhuang Wu, there is a temple tablet.

It is said that in the early years of Sun Wu, someone saw Jiang Ziwen riding a white horse on the avenue, holding a white feather fan, and the attendants followed him left and right, exactly the same as before his death, so Wu Emperor Sun Quan Sun Zhongmou built a temple for Jiang Ziwen, named Jiang Hou, and renamed Zhongshan Jiang Shan. So strictly speaking, Jiang Xin is just the god of Jiang Mountain, but later generations recognize the name Zhongshan more, so they call it the god of Zhongshan Mountain.

The Eastern Jin Dynasty historian Gan Bao's "Sou Shen Ji" cloud, the Jin army won five battles and five victories, all because Jiang Xin secretly appeared on a white horse to help. Books such as "Zizhi Tongjian" and "Taiping Huanyu Ji" are also included. Later generations named the pond of Jiang Xin's manifestation as White Horse Pond, and built the White Horse Temple on the side of the pond in Jinnan Town, Jinhu County, modern Jinhu County.

Later, Xuzhou also built the White Horse Temple, and Gaoyou also built the White Horse Temple to worship Jiang Xin, the god.

During the Six Dynasties, from the emperors and generals to the common people, they all went to the temple of King Jiang to worship and seek blessings. As a result, the temple of King Jiang has become an important center for sacrificial worship of "Prince Jiang".

The scholar Zhu Wei said in the "Illustrated Examination of Jinling Historical Sites": "The temple of Jiang Ziwen began to flourish in Wu and worshiped in Jin, which was greater than that of Southern Qi and declined in the Ming Dynasty." In 1912, the Chiang Wang Temple in their world was converted into a private school, and later into a primary school, and the Chiang Wang Temple Stage was converted into a school building after the founding of the People's Republic of China.

By the 60s of the 20th century, the temple was destroyed, and later even the temple fair was suspended.

The traversers speculated in their hearts that maybe Jiang Ziwen became a god after his death, he had no foundation in himself, and he was the body of a yin god, and after several changes in society, he naturally passed in the tide of history quickly, or it could be that he offended the neighbor of the overlord, and was destroyed by Xiang Yu, the ghost king, and occupied this Jiang Wang Temple?

Who knew that Xiang Yu smiled and said:

"Jiang Ziwen was sent by me to Fengdu to compete with the Yama Demon King for the position of the lord of Fengdu when he was in the Southern Qi Dynasty, and later became the first King of Qin Guang in the Ten Palaces of Yama, and this Zhongshan Divine Palace was left to me, and five of the ten halls of Yama were controlled by my Middle Earth ghosts and gods, and the five halls were controlled by the Sanskrit ghosts and gods, which can be regarded as a compromise between our Middle Earth ghosts and gods and foreign ghosts and gods such as Yama."

The traversers couldn't help but be stunned when they heard this, no wonder the folklore on their side, Jiang Xin, the prince of Jiang, became the first palace of the ten halls of the underworld, King Qin Guang, and the original root was here.

This is like a group of vacancies in the DPRK and China in the feudal era, and the various factions competed with each other, but they inevitably lost and finally compromised and divided the positions?

Speaking of which, the team has come to the mountain shrine in front of it, and it is seen that there is a mountain gate archway in front of them, with two Han Li characters of "Jiang Shan" written on it.

There is a stone pillar on each side of the Shinto road, called the "Lookout Pillar" or "Shinto Pillar", which resembles a Huabiao and is generally built in front of the imperial palace, mausoleum, or god palace.

Behind the pillar is a stone sculpture of a white horse, which is the white horse that Jiang Xin rode on a white horse in the legend.

On either side of the Shinto are pairs of stone beasts, which look similar to the tombs of emperors. It's just that the latter will also place stone statues of military generals.

Compared with the golden splendor of the former Longjun Crystal Palace in Wujiang Water Mansion, this Zhongshan Divine Palace, shrouded in red divine light, is more solemn.

The building of Zhongshan Shrine follows the grandiose and solemn and simple style of the Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty inherits the Qin system, so the imperial palace of the Han Dynasty is extremely symmetrical, there is a tower on the left and right sides in front of this shrine, the appearance is tall, it was used for defense and lookout at the earliest. After the founding of the Han Dynasty, the country gradually stabilized, so its defensive function degraded and became a representative building of the palace.

"Que" through "lack", the straightforward explanation is that there is a gap between the two buildings, which is used as a gate, and the palaces such as Weiyang Palace and Jianzhang Palace in the Han Dynasty are built with que towers.

This is also the origin of the word Gongque.

The walls around the palace are high, in a rectangular layout, along the central axis, the front, middle and back three halls are solemn and solemn, very magnificent, and the three major halls of the Forbidden City in later generations are also in the same pattern.

It's a pity that the current shrine doesn't seem to be complete, and from a distance, there seems to be a defect behind the three major halls.

Xiang Yu pointed over there and explained: "This Jiang Wang Temple is actually not the real Zhongshan Shrine, it can only be said to be Jiang Ziwen's shrine spiritual realm, maybe it can be called a shrine in its heyday after completion, but from Jiang Ziwen to the time he left to be the king of Qin Guang, it has not been fully completed in the past 200 years, and the direction of the apse is the ruins of the former Zhongshan Shrine, and I didn't have the heart to continue to build it after I took over the Shrine, but the first two halls are enough......

The traversers looked towards the apse of the shrine pointed out by the overlord, although there were only faint ruins of broken walls and fallen grass and trees, but they could vaguely see the outline of the former fairyland.

Just when they were feeling nostalgic, the gate of the shrine opened, and a middle-aged Taoist priest wearing a feather coat, a golden crown on his head, and a face as warm as jade, looked like he was about forty years old.

This Taoist priest's figure is shrouded in a layer of faint golden light, the figure is erect, the robe is large, the sleeves are large, fluttering like an independent immortal, he does not hold the dust in his hand, but he holds a gold and jade Ruyi, which is as long as most of his arm, and the golden flowers and purple aura on it are flashing, which is obviously a rare treasure.

"Brother, are these the guests you invited?"
