Zong Zhenlei began to photograph the brick carvings of the wall pillars of the Sansheng Pavilion in the aisle, and a visitor was looking at the introduction and blocked the brick carvings, Zong Zhenlei waited with a camera, hoping that she could see him taking pictures and moving aside.

Zong Zhenlei's thoughts returned to the "sword" facing Li Ruhui again.

Regarding the "sword", Zong Zhenlei did not rush to "dismantle the move", lowered his head and thought about it, and said: "Frankly speaking, I am just guessing now; My intuition is that the name of this temple is 'Yongzuo', and the twin towers and the southeast line have formed the meaning of worshiping the ancestors of the royal family and praying for blessings and protecting the descendants of the royal family. ”

may have seen Zong Zhenlei enter the defensive, Li Ruhui showed a proud look: "I won't force you, there are always many mysteries about matters involving the royal family, we have time to figure it out slowly, and we can ignore everything else for the time being; Now all I care about is, is someone going to correct their perceptions? She was referring to Mr. Zong's previous disagreement with her speculation that the place was related to the royal family.

Zong Zhenlei spread his hands and shrugged his shoulders and made a helpless movement.

Li Ruhui saw Zong Zhenlei make that move, and laughed happily: "Hahaha~ It's not easy!" Someone has finally corrected their opinion! ”

Zong Zhenlei stretched out a finger and shook it: "No! The problem just now hasn't been solved! Excuse me, if these two are royal worship places, where should they go first when the worship ceremony is held? ”

Li Ruhui stopped laughing, thought for a while, looked at Zong Zhenlei and said, "You just said that the southeast worship meaning of this twin pagoda connection line has the meaning of southeast worship, and the Xuanwen Pagoda Gate faces southeast and has the meaning of 'Mennafurui', which is related to the worship of ancestors outside the city, which makes me think of a question; ”

Li Ruhui said this, which woke up Zong Zhenlei, he stopped pacing, and said: "Well, that's right, the place of worship is different, the theme of worship is different, there is no question of where to go first." The worship outside the city that you mentioned reminds me of a historical record, and I will read it to you. ”

Zong Zhenlei opened his mobile phone and looked at it and said: "This is the record on "Mingshenzong"; In the twenty-third year of Wanli, that is, in 1595, Zhu Minchun, the king of Jin Mu, wrote a letter to ask to go out of the city to worship his ancestors, and Emperor Wanli Shenzong was about to agree, but was stopped by the minister Fan Qian, saying, "Although chasing far away is filial piety, it is forbidden to go out of the city to have a clear ban, begging Shanxi to wait for the end of the autumn harvest, and the king began to go out of the city to worship and sweep, so as to avoid the harm of escort, harassment and trampling." It means that there is a clear prohibition on leaving the city, and even if you want to go, it is best to go after the autumn harvest, so as not to disturb the people and trample on the crops. ”

"Forbidden?"

"The 'Ming ban' he said refers to the detailed regulations established by the Ming God Sect on the burial of vassal kings out of the city and the provincial tombs in the seventh year of Wanli, which are recorded in the "Ming Huidian", which limits the number of people who go to the cemetery and the number of times they go each year, and emphasizes that they must return on the same day when they go out of the city. The Ming Dynasty experienced a number of feudal kings rebellion, the imperial court added a sense of vigilance to the feudal king, Wanli seven years when Shenzong was only seventeen years old, fledgling, the imperial court was highly vigilant about the feudal king out of the city. I was pondering that when Zhu Minchun was prevented from going out of the city to worship, Yongzuo Temple had not yet been built, and although Zhu Minchun's original intention of building the temple was not related to this matter, from the perspective of abiding by the ban, it was much more time-saving to go out of the city to worship in Yongzuo Temple than to go to the area of Heituo Mountain, and it was guaranteed to return to the city at the specified time. ”

"You mean, if this is a place of worship, you can use the southeast direction of the Twin Towers to pay homage to the ancestral tomb?"

"Yes, in this way, going outside the city to pay homage to the ancestral tombs and worshipping the ancestors in the city will not be carried out at the same time, and there will be no question of where to go first."

Li Ruhui said happily: "That's right! In this way, the reason for the existence of two places of worship at the same time can be explained! In addition, I think you have also found a new basis for building this Yongzuo Temple, that is to say, King Jin Mu may not be because he thinks that the original Data Temple is shabby and wants to build a new temple, but after he was prevented from leaving the city to worship his ancestors, he thought of building a temple here as a place to worship ancestors. ”

Zong Zhenlei said: "Don't be happy first, this is not a conclusive conclusion, just speculation, after all, there is no document to record that ancestor worship activities have been held here, because Yongzuo Temple has just been halfway built, King Jin Mu passed away, even if he had such an idea at the beginning, it can not be realized, so it can only be said that it is one of the many reasons for building a temple." ”

Li Ruhui patted Zong Zhenlei on the shoulder: "Brother Tai, don't be humble!" It should be! I don't care about other reasons, as long as I recognize that this temple has a connection with the royal family! ”

Zong Zhenlei responded with a smile: "Senior sister, don't just look at that point, it has led to several questions now!" Let's put it this way, the construction of this temple, I not only recognized its connection with the royal family, but also thought that it was related to the worship of the royal family, and more importantly, I found that it highlighted the relationship with the Empress Dowager Li. ”

Zong Zhenlei was recalling, and the tourist who was blocking Zong Zhenlei's sight turned around and saw him standing there blankly with a camera in his hand, and said "I'm sorry" and quickly got out of the way.

Zong Zhenlei nodded to her and thanked her, and hurried to take pictures.

When he left the Three Holy Pavilion and walked towards the east courtyard of the abbot's room, he saw the Xuanwen Stupa high outside the wall, and remembered an old man he had met in the pagoda courtyard last time he came here.

At that time, Li Ruhui went to see other buildings, Zong Zhenlei didn't move, and raised his head to look at the pagoda.

The gray-haired old man slowly walked up to Zong Zhenlei and took the initiative to talk. The old man said that he lived nearby, had been playing in the neighborhood since he was a child, and knew all the secrets of the place; and said that he had noticed Zong Zhenlei for a long time, and saw that Zong Zhenlei had been staring at this tower for a long time, so he wanted to take the initiative to introduce one or two; The old man said that the shape of the two towers is not the same, the Wenfeng Pagoda is straight, and the Xuanwen Pagoda is slightly curved; The tower is not the same, there are three balls stacked on the Wenfeng Pagoda, and there is only one round ball on the Xuanwen Pagoda.

Under the old man's prompting, Zong Zhenlei noticed that the two towers were indeed different, and at the same time that Zong Zhenlei compared the differences between the two towers, the old man said mysteriously that the direction of the connection between the two towers was actually a divine vein.

When he heard the old man talk about the direction of the connection between the two towers, he hurriedly asked for advice. The old man said mysteriously, from the two towers of Yongzuo Temple to the southeast, forming a divine vein, this divine vein in the east mountain after a small mountain range extending to the west, passing through the two small temples, the temple enshrined in the Garan Bodhisattva with a knife guard, guarding the divine vein straight to the southeast of the city Feng Shui auspicious land; This connection is called the Divine Vein precisely because it is connected to auspicious places and can help people to be blessed.

Zong Zhenlei knows that Garan Bodhisattva is what people usually call Master Guan Gong. He has always only listened to legends, and he will not believe in fantasy; However, he felt that the blessing theory was similar to his understanding of "southeast worship"; He thought, if the correction theory is to hide the true intention of the line between the two towers, unless the secret involved is very important, otherwise, how can it be concealed by a huge project?

He took a deep breath; There is a saying about the formation of any famous building, and if a statement is intended as a cover-up, the reason for the concealment will not be simply for another obvious phenomenon, but there must be a more hidden factor!

At this time, the lingering question that was caused by Li Ruhui lingered in front of me again: "Building a tower should be a major event that is carried out publicly, why do you still cover up the intention of building a tower?" ”

Although he has now recognized that the location of the Xuanwen Pagoda is mainly due to the "southeast worship" factor, he still does not want to give up his doubts about the "correction" statement. He believes that every story that has been handed down has its own background, and through the background stories that have gradually disappeared in the dust of history, the secrets that have been deliberately concealed may be revealed.

He recalled looking at the brick carving of the words "Xuanwen Pagoda" and figuring out the intention of Miaofeng Zen Master to leave these words on the tower, and thought of the Empress Dowager Li from the word "Xuanwen", and a question arose: since the Empress Dowager Li can sponsor the construction of the tower, it shows that she attaches great importance to this tower, and it also shows that she may know the reason for the construction of this tower. Looking at it this way, if there is a secret that has been deliberately concealed, could it be related to the Empress Dowager Li?

He seemed to have found a flickering clue, dangling in front of his eyes, trying to catch it but couldn't......

When he was about to finish filming the east courtyard of the abbot's room, his mobile phone rang, it turned out to be Li Ruhui, and asked him where he was; Zong Zhenlei sent her a location.

After a while, Li Ruhui came to Zong Zhenlei's side. Zong Zhenlei saw her and said, "Wait a minute, I still have the last few photos." ”

Li Ruhui looked a little uncertain, and said: "There are too many people today, which makes me upset, and I want to go to the tower courtyard." ”

"Don't be impatient, it'll be over in a moment." Zong Zhenlei said, speeding up the photo. Li Ruhui nodded and stood aside.

The location of this abbot's room is on the east side of the Daxiong Hall, and visitors who want to come from the Three Holy Lords will pass through the stairs in front of the east courtyard of the abbot's room. At this time, there were more and more people coming from His Excellency the Three Sages, and although the narrow staircase passage was crowded, it was still orderly.

Zong Zhenlei was afraid that she would be bored sitting alone, so he chatted with her while taking pictures: "Have you seen a brick carving that feels special?" ”

She retracted her gaze from the crowded staircase: "Of course, many brick carvings in the temple are peony flowers and lotus flowers, the strange thing is that the peony representing glory and wealth and the lotus representing purity and purity are obviously two kinds of flowers with different artistic conceptions, but they are matched together, why?" ”

Zong Zhenlei looked back at her: "I also think it's strange, the brick carvings of peony flowers and lotus flowers are all over the courtyard......"

A shrill child's cry rang out, located at the entrance of the stairs to the platform; There are a few adults who seem to be members of the child's family, some help the child look at the injury, and some look around while scolding; It turned out that the child was kicked, but because there were many people, I didn't know who kicked the child, and I couldn't figure out what the reason was kicked.

At this time, the people on the stairs wanted to hurry down, and the people who maintained order below wanted to go up, and after a while, they were huddled together.

Zong Zhenlei stopped filming and looked up at the chaotic scene; Li Ruhui quickly picked up her camera, and Zong Zhenlei didn't say anything, she picked up Zong Zhenlei and walked out quickly.

The people huddled together were quickly cleared away by the security guards. The child was carried by his family, crying all the way out of the temple gate, and it seemed that he was kicked in pain, and in this case, no one had the heart to continue playing.
