Chapter 51: The Treasure of the Holy Emperor
Just when Huang Huai was thinking about it, after the big ceremony was completed, Huang's father and Huang's mother took the incense candles handed over by Liu Yuan, and Huang Huai and Huang Shan also hurriedly took the incense candles.
Under the tall and mighty statue of Emperor Guan Sheng, there are more than a dozen miniature versions of the statue of Emperor Guan, each of which is almost a foot high.
Among these more than a dozen statues, one of the statues of Emperor Guan Sheng was specially invited by Huang's father to offer a large amount of incense money to be enshrined here.
Just to buy this one position, it will cost at least 100,000 per year.
Huang Weimin's heirs are difficult, Huang's mother gave birth to Huang Huai early, and it took two or three years of cultivation to have Huang Shan again, but because of the injury to the vitality, since then, no matter how hard the couple worked, there were no heirs.
Therefore, Huang Weimin, who only has a son like Huang Huai, really values Huang Huai's son as his lifeline.
Huang's father's doting on Huang Huai even Huang's mother can't stand it, but compared to Huang's father, Huang's mother is actually just as doting on Huang Huai, and Huang Huai spends most of the year looking for the truth.
At present, many people will pray for blessings in Taoist temples and temples to worship the ancestral tablets, Huang Weimin did not worship the ancestral tablets, but in the case of sending Huang Huai to Taihe Mountain to seek the true view, he invited a statue of Guan Sheng Emperor Jun for Huang Huai to be enshrined in Guan Lin, in front of the golden statue of Guan Sheng Emperor, praying for Guan Sheng Emperor to protect Huang Huai's life of peace and worry.
At this time, even Huang Shan also bowed respectfully to the statue of Emperor Guan.
His eyes swept over the seal on the table in front of Emperor Guan Shengjun, and Huang Huai couldn't help but show a little surprise.
In the Guanlin Temple, there is a seal, engraved with "the treasure of the Guansheng Emperor", taken from the source of the Yihe River in Luoyang, carved by the famous artist, weighing more than 1800 kilograms, known as "the first of the world's Guanmiao".
This seal is also a treasure in the Guanlin Temple, and there is another place to worship, as for the seal that is enshrined in front of the statue of the Guansheng Emperor on weekdays, it is an imitation, and it is worshiped by incense.
The reason why Huang Huai was surprised when he saw the seal on the table at this time was because the original imitation seal was gone, and it was obviously replaced with a new imitation.
If it weren't for the fact that he was quite familiar with the seal, Huang Huai would never recognize it, but who let Huang Huai touch and appreciate the seal at close range more than once, so he could see it at a glance.
Liu Yuan seemed to notice Huang Huai's strange appearance, and while leading Huang Huai's family to the side, he smiled at Huang Huai and said, "Huang Huai, what do you want?" ”
Huang Huai met Liu Yuan's gaze and smiled: "Uncle Liu, has the seal at the feet of Emperor Guan Shengjun been changed!" ”
Liu Yuan couldn't help but say when he heard this: "That seal was just changed not long ago, but your kid is sharp-eyed, and you can see it at a glance." ”
Huang Huai's eyes couldn't help but light up, and he subconsciously looked at Liu Yuan and said, "Uncle Liu, is that replaced seal going to be disposed of?" ”
Liu Yuan nodded and said: "Yes, I heard your father say that your current compilation has fallen into the Truth-seeking Concept, and you have followed your master over the years, and you also know that more and more pilgrims now want to bathe in the incense before the gods, and some of the gods and items that have been washed by the incense will power please go home and worship." ”
Huang Huai naturally knows this, just like many Taoist temples and temples will sell some so-called consecrated statues and ritual vessels, saying that it is consecration is actually to enshrine these idols and ritual artifacts in front of the gods and accept the incense offerings of all people, so as to endow them with spirituality and divinity.
Naturally, these consecrated items are highly sought after by pilgrims.
Without waiting for Huang Huai to speak, Huang's father looked at Liu Yuan and said: "Brother Liu, our brothers have been friends for so many years, and you also know that Lao Huang and I have always been dedicated to Emperor Guan Sheng, and you must keep this seal of the treasure of Emperor Guan Sheng." ”
Not to mention that Huang Huai showed interest in the seal, even if Huang Huai was not interested, Huang's father would definitely not miss this thing.
In the eyes of ordinary people, they may think that it is just a seal, at most, they have received incense from all the people in front of the golden statue of Emperor Guan Sheng. And it's an imitation, and its real value may be in the tens of thousands.
But in the hearts of believers like Huang's father, it is not as simple as a seal, the treasure of the Guan Sheng Emperor, this seal is equivalent to the official seal that represents the identity of the official in ancient times, it is a treasure that represents the identity of the Guan Sheng Emperor.
Liu Yuan couldn't help but smile a little bitterly when he heard this, and looked at Huang's father and Huang Huai: "This is not the place to talk, let's go to my office and talk about it in detail." ”
Looking at Liu Yuan's reaction, Huang Huai knew that there was more than one person who was eyeing this "Treasure of the Guansheng Emperor" seal, and with the relationship between his father and Liu Yuan, Liu Yuan was still so embarrassed, obviously the person who was eyeing this thing was not an ordinary person.
Of course, if it is really an ordinary person, I am afraid that few will have any interest in a useless imitation.
Whether this thing has value or not depends on who owns it.
However, Huang Huai made up his mind in his heart, and he had to get the seal in his hands no matter what.
In the past, it was just that, but now Huang Huai clearly knows that as long as he brings that seal to the other world, not to mention anything else, just with the incense power gathered on it, it is also a great treasure.
Father Huang glanced at Liu Yuan, chuckled and said, "Okay, then I'll accompany your brother to talk about it." ”
Saying that, Huang's father said to Huang Huai: "Xiaohuai, you accompany your mother and little sister for a walk, and I will go and talk to your Uncle Liu." ”
Huang Huai couldn't help but hesitate when he heard this, and at this time, Huang's mother, who noticed her son's expression, said to Huang's father: "For the people, let Huai'er accompany you." ”
Huang Shan put her arm around Huang's mother and nodded: "Yes, Dad, I'll just walk around here with my mother, we are familiar here, you don't have to worry about anything." ”
As Huang Shan said, they will definitely come to Guanlin Temple once a year, plus every time Guanlin Temple Spring Festival, Birthday Festival, Autumn Festival, the family will not miss it, come no less than dozens of times, the familiarity with Guanlin Temple is no worse than the staff here, and you really don't have to worry about getting lost or something.
Huang Weimin just nodded after a little groaning, after all, he also saw his son's interest in the seal of "The Treasure of Emperor Guan Sheng", and it would be good to bring Huang Huai and let him experience more human feelings.
Liu Yuan smiled and said, "I will ask the staff to accompany my sister-in-law and Xiaoshan." ”
Originally, according to Liu Yuan's intention, he was going to the office to talk, but halfway through the trip, Huang Huai suddenly proposed to take a look at the "Treasure of the Guansheng Emperor" seal that had been put away.
Regarding Huang Huai's request, Liu Yuan didn't say anything, and directly took Huang Weimin, Huang Huai and his son to a warehouse.
