Chapter 363: Qingxiao Visits the Gods

"Daoist, Sanhua Niangniang seems to have been poisoned."

"Moromi soup does poison."

"Huh? Why didn't you say poisonous last time? ”

"Sanhua Niangniang, let's sleep."

Song You grabbed her as soon as she bent down and lifted her up, and she was also very honest, her limbs naturally hung down, her tail stood up to protect her privacy, and the well-behaved Taoist lifted her and stuffed it into her coat.

Then he poked his head out and looked around.

As the swallow said, the Qingxiao view is not far away, and the group has already arrived at dusk.

I saw a hill in front of me, round, the hill is surrounded by farmland, in this season, there is no grain and grain, but water is stored to nourish the field, a piece of fertile land is connected, the red glow in the sky is completely reflected in it, it is a beautiful rural beauty.

"It's beautiful......"

Behind him came the sigh of the maid.

Seeing Song You's gaze, she smiled and said to the Taoist: "Before we arrived in Changjing, we often saw such beautiful scenery, which is naturally different from this, but it is also very beautiful, but unfortunately when we arrive in Changjing, it is like being trapped, and I haven't seen it for a long time." ”

"The two of you are free."

"I wish I could be free forever."

The maid said with a smile, sitting and shaking her feet.

Song You retracted his gaze and continued to move forward.

There was a road that passed through the paddy fields to the hill, and a man and a horse and the carriage behind them drove over it, and the water on both sides reflected the complete sky, and the red glow was everywhere, as if walking in the sky.

The carriage had to stop at the bottom of the mountain, and the master and servant got down and walked up the mountain with the Taoist.

The Taoist temple is not big, the mountain gate is old, and there is a sense of time.

On the top, there are three big characters of "Qingxiao View".

There are still door couplets written on both sides, which is a very common Taoist door couplet:

The rain is heavy, and there is no grass root;

The Tao is wide, and it is necessary to have a heart.

Song You stood at the door and took a few closer looks.

Six and a half years down the mountain, I have visited a lot of Taoist temples, and I have seen this door couplet a few times, but the font of each door couplet is different, the time is new and old, and the charm is different.

The doors are open, still welcoming guests.

Song You carried his blanket and stepped in.

The Taoist temple was not big, but as soon as he entered, he met a young Taoist leader, and the Taoist chief was stunned for a moment when he saw him and the two beautiful women walking behind him.

"This Taoist ......"

"Under the surname Song Mingyou, a native of Yizhou, he has a relationship with Qingxiao Guanmu Yunzi Dao, and he passed by and came to visit."

The head of a three-flowered cat poked out of the blanket on his body, and he stared at the little Taoist priest in a daze.

"Does the Taoist know my master?"

"Two or three months ago, in Taohua Village, outside the capital, my child was invited by the government to go out to get rid of demons, and he had a fate with the respected teacher." Song You said with a smile, "Daoist Mu Yunzi has profound cultivation and outstanding virtue, and I have heard his name in other places. ”

When the young Taoist leader heard this, he was stunned for a moment.

At this moment, a swallow flew lightly, silently, and landed on the door tile behind the Taoist.

"It's ...... you"

The young Taoist leader was finally sure, and quickly came back to his senses from his stunned state, but he was a little more flustered, respectful, and bowed: "Real person, please wait a moment, poor Dao will go and invite the master." ”

"Daoist friends don't have to be like this, they are here to visit Muyunzi Daoist, and those who come to repay their fate are also here to beg for food and lodging."

"Good good ......"

The little Taoist priest was at a loss and hurriedly ran away.

"The Taoist chief has such a big face......"

Behind him came the voice of a maid grinning.

"Don't be rude."

This was followed by a soft reprimand from the woman.

When the Taoist listened, he didn't hear it, and turned to look at this small Taoist temple.

There is a courtyard in front of the Taoist temple is directly opposite the main palace, which is for the gods of Taoism, because the folk customs and customs of various places are different from the trend of the palace view, there is a separate temple on the left, which is not much smaller than the main palace opposite, it is for the gods of the thunder department headed by Zhou Lei Gong, indicating that this palace view is the main god of the thunder department, and the right side is a small temple half a person high, which is dedicated to the local god of good fortune.

Song You took two steps to the left and looked at the separate temple.

The temple also has a door couplet, which reads:

is desolate in his heart, and it is useless to burn incense;

The body is upright, and it doesn't matter if you don't worship me.

The door couplet is brand new, as if it has only been written for a long time.

There was a row of Lei Minzheng statues inside, and there should have been ten statues including Fu Lei Gong, but now that Fu Lei Gong was beheaded, there were only nine left. The middle one is taller and bigger, and the statue of the god is also brand new, look at the god Dama Jindao sitting on the altar, condescending, glaring angrily below, full of majesty It is not Zhou Leigong, who else can it be?

Song You raised his head and looked at him.

I think it was a statue of the chief officer that Zhou Leigong made for him again after Zhou Leigong was promoted to the chief official of the Lei Ministry.

Most of this union has changed in this way.

As he was watching, Daoist Mu Yunzi brought two apprentices to greet him.

"I don't know if the honorable driver is coming, and I will miss the welcome."

"Don't dare, don't dare." Song You hurriedly retracted his gaze, turned around and saluted back, not daring to slack off at all, "If you take the liberty to visit, you should ask your fellow Daoists for guilt." ”

"The arrival of the honorable driver, the puff of the pang."

"I don't dare to take the word "respectful." Song You said, "This is to admire the Taoist virtue and cultivation, and it happens to be a journey, so he came to visit the Taoist, if it is convenient, he will ask for a meal and spend the night, and he just worships the gods in the Taoist Concept, if it is inconvenient, he must also come to see the Taoist in person." ”

"It's convenient! It's that the room and tea and dinner in the view are rough, and I hope you don't want to dislike it! ”

"Under the surname Song Mingyou, there is no road number for the time being, the Taoist is older than me, and he is my senior." Song You said, "Taoists are free, just call me Taoist." ”

"Poor Dao Mu Yunzi."

"This time, I also brought my boy and my swallow." Song You said and reached out and touched the little head poking out of the blanket, "And the two friends behind him, called ......"

Song You turned to look at the two behind him.

"Wanjiang has seen the Taoist."

"Sansan, polite ......"

"Come in, a few people."

Daoist Mu Yunzi invited them into the hall, and hurriedly ordered the two apprentices to cook, while he stayed to entertain.

It's just that in the face of Song You, he didn't know what to say.

"It is said that four years ago from Jingzhou to Angzhou into Beijing, I passed by Donghe County, at that time I heard that there is a Taoist temple in Donghe County, quite effective, but it was rainy for days at that time, and I was anxious to step on the time to enter Beijing and wait in the capital to meet the old people, but I did not come to visit until now." Song You opened his mouth first.

"Fellow Daoist, this is traveling the world?"

"Exactly."

"Where is this going?"

"Heading south."

Song You chatted with Daoist Mu Yunzi.

The girl sat quietly beside her, only listening carefully, sometimes looking at them with a smile, giving people a sense of attentive listening, while the maid was still standing behind her, but she looked down at the cat with her head peeking out of the Taoist's coat, constantly exchanging glances.

The three-flowered cat was already stupid, and only stared at her in a daze.

The sky was getting dark, and the Taoist saw the lights for dinner, and then rested for a day in the guest room arranged for them by Daoist Mu Yunzi.

Early the next morning, people went up the mountain one after another.

Song You had breakfast and looked through the book of gods at the door of the Taoist temple.

There are many gods in the heavenly palace, civil and military priesthoods, major departments, and many gods of a separate system, in charge of many aspects, even if it is the largest palace in the world, it cannot be enshrined in all the gods, often different places and different palaces worship different gods according to demand, but no matter how small the god, there must be a temple in the world with his statue.

Generally speaking, regardless of the major palaces, several main gods of the Heavenly Palace must be offered, which is the form.

In addition, according to the local beliefs and the main offering gods, different gods will be enshrined, either placed next to several main gods, or like Qingxiao Temple, a small temple will be set up separately for the gods of the thunder department.

These gods are the main deities worshiped by the palace.

It is also the Taoist inheritance of the Eight Classics and can invite the gods of the palace when there is something to contact and invite the gods.

But what about the rest of the gods?

There is a book of gods, that is, a list of gods.

It records all the gods of the Heavenly Palace, large and small, famous and priestly, and is regularly updated under the instructions of the Taoist ancestral court and the ancestral hall in charge of religious sacrifices under the imperial court. If the pilgrims who come to offer incense can't find the god they want to worship in the Taoist temple, they take the book of gods, find the gods, turn the page to that page, and put the altar on it, the same is true.

Song You slowly turned the pages and looked at them one by one.

Some of the gods are painted with images of gods, while others only have names and brief biographies and are in charge of the priesthood.

There are more and more pilgrims coming to the temple.

Most of them go to the temple on the left to worship Lei Gong, but there are also many people who will stop by the main hall to worship a few more amazing main gods out of admiration, but the stay is obviously not long.

The smell of incense wafted to Song You's nose.

The sincere prayers of the pilgrims seemed to have turned into whispers, and together with this line of incense, floated to Song You's side.

"Lei Gong has appeared, ah......"

"The villain is going to Jingzhou to do business, please bless Lei Gong, don't meet monsters along the way......"

"The Emperor of Chijin blesses my son to get well soon......"

It seems that many of them came to make vows, and in addition to praying for peace and good health.

This year's pilgrims are also very targeted, probably because there is really a god, so everyone knows which god is in charge of what, if there is a related matter, they will go to this god, so many gods or their own or Gongguan do, in order to absorb incense, began to install a lot of priesthood on the gods that did not belong to him, so that the people came to worship him.

What if you can't find the deity?

Most people go straight to the Lord God.

Just like now, there is no god in Qingxiao Temple who specializes in managing current diseases and diseases, only those who are in charge of blessings and misfortunes, and everyone comes to pray for physical safety and healing from diseases, and they all go to the Chijin Emperor in the middle.

Song You's face was calm and he continued to flip through the divine book.

"He Xianweng, the surname is what is the name of the new man, he was originally a northern star, an official to the prime minister of Dayan, a clean official all his life, loving the people like a son, helping the world, and finally completing his deeds, returning to the immortal class after his death, and being a good fortune immortal for the north, and managing the fortune of the world."

That's what he is.

The so-called Xingjun descended to save the world and returned to the immortal class after his death, which is all nonsense and fooling the world. However, it is also a fact that He Gong became a god.

Why is it called a fairy man?

It's not that he is an immortal or a god, but he has no specific priesthood and divine authority, and the so-called management of the fortune of the world is actually a nice saying, which is basically equivalent to worshipping and useless.

"...... Uproar"

Song You turned the next page again.

At this time, there were more and more people in the Lei Gong Temple in the courtyard, and even crowded together, and there were also people coming in an endless stream, which couldn't help but attract his attention.
