Chapter 81. Changchun view outside

As a member of the Xuanmen Sect, and I am learning the Tao, of course I know the Doumu Palace.

The Doumu Hall is dedicated to "Doumu Yuanjun", also known as "Doumu Yuanjun", which is one of the few female gods in Taoist mythology. There were nine sons born together, the Emperor of Heaven and the Emperor Ziwei, her eldest son and second son respectively, in addition to the stars of the Big Dipper, the greedy wolf, the giant gate, Lu Cun, Wenqu, Lian Zhen, Wuqu, and Pojun, are also her children. The Heavenly Palace is in charge of life and death, good and evil in the world, fighting the gods and immortals, and the evil beings below. It is a symbol of Taoism, and Taoism worships the main god of the altar and is a very powerful character.

So Songzi asked me, what else is there besides the nine sons beside this Doumu Yuanjun? I said that she was also in charge of the world's calamities, blessings, diseases, and calamities, as well as Tai Sui...

When I said this, I suddenly froze and turned my head to look at Matsuko, because he was shorter than me, so when he looked at me as if a pet was looking at his owner, but the earnest expression on his face seemed to be that I had finally figured out something, and he was very relieved.

I said loudly, it turns out that we have been talking about sixty jiazi sixty jiazi, and we associate this one jiazi with sixty years, but I never thought that sixty jiazi was originally a fairy!

Yes, the god of sixty Jiazi, commonly known as Tai Sui. It happens to be under the jurisdiction of Doumu Yuanjun.

The so-called Tai Sui, that Chinese can be said to be well known. In China, every 12 years is defined as a cycle and repeated, and 12 different animals are used to distinguish these 12 years, which we call the "12 zodiac signs". The day is therefore divided into 12 hours, Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu, Hai, these single characters originate from the heavenly and earthly branches, which refer to each zodiac animal, but also refer to the hour. Every year, several genera will commit Tai Sui for various reasons, which is usually reflected in bad luck, continuous disasters, diseases, and broken fortunes. Because the people do not pay special attention to the Tai Sui every year, they think that this person has good fortune and misfortune, and everything is destined in the dark. So all they really care about is the "natal year" of reincarnation every twelve years.

Therefore, the folk still circulate the saying that "you should wear red and wear red in the natal year", red is a happy color, in order to make the unlucky self rush to be happy, and it is not so unlucky. In this way, if the sixty Jiazi really refers to the sixty Jiazi gods, that is, Tai Sui, then the scope is indeed greatly reduced again, looking at it, this place is not only a Taoist temple, but also related to water, and at the same time worships the sixty Jiazi gods, and there is really only one place for this Changchun view.

I couldn't help but silently give a thumbs up to Songzi, saying that you kid is really amazing, it seems that God has made you relatively weak in some aspects of your skills, but has given you another extremely powerful talent. Songzi said a little proudly, although you see that I am very weak in catching ghosts and fighting ghosts now, it is just because I have inherited Quanzhen, and I am relatively not so good at this skill, but within the Daomen, I can be as powerful as you in time.

I fully believe in this, and I don't even doubt it in the slightest. If Songzi is a person with a good brain and a pure heart, if he were our enemy, it is estimated that it would be enough to kill me and Qin Bukong 800 times. Songzi said to me, now he is seventy percent sure, the location of the predecessor buried things is in the Changchun Temple, and it is very likely that it is under the well, if all these inferences are correct here, as long as we find the way to the bottom of the well, then we can find the buried stone box, of course, we will also face the "Dragon" guard ghost.

I'm a little excited, it seems that I've been running around all day these days, and it's really not in vain, at least the progress we have made today is relatively huge and convincing, so I told Songzi, let's go home later, tell Qin Bukong about this, and be angry with this old guy.

Songzi looked at the sky, it was still early, if he went home now, it meant that he couldn't do anything for the rest of the day. So he proposed, why don't we go to Changchun to watch now, maybe we can find some other clues, if that's the case, the next time we come, we will save the time of investigation. I thought it would be okay, so I set off with Songzi to Changchun Temple.

During the Great Revolution, such a palace was generally very difficult to survive if it was not in the deep mountains and old forests, or far away from the hustle and bustle. The temple of Songzi monks was preserved because the mountain road was difficult to walk, and it was far away from the city, and it was a dilapidated place. However, the location of this Changchun Temple happens to be the only place where the three towns of Wuhan meet, on the east side of the Yangtze River. It is not far from the first floor of the world, the "Yellow Crane Tower". It is also an area with a relatively high concentration of various ancient buildings in the "Snake Mountain" in Jiangdong, and for many years, in addition to the palace view on the mountain, the surrounding area has been a lively place. In the previous inquiry, I learned that although the current smashing has not continued, in the years when the Great Revolution had just begun, Changchun Temple was also hit hard.

Songzi told me that the rights and wrongs of history, we ordinary people do not judge, if we only start from the perspective of looking for something this time, even if we are smashed, we should not be able to hurt the well that has been closed during the Republic of China. Thinking of this, I also feel that no matter what, it is very necessary to inquire in person in the Taoist temple.

But when we arrived at the Changchun Temple, we were a little surprised by the depression in front of us. A Taoist temple named after the Taoist number of the real person of the hill, in addition to the temple gate of the "Changchun view" under the gold book is also eye-catching, two side doors, on the top of the almost the same font gold depiction written "wonderful door" and "Xuanjing", unfortunately, the word has long been incomplete, there are traces of being artificially knocked by hard objects. The reason why I was able to recognize these words was simply because the words had been on the door for so long, even if the font had fallen, there were still marks on the edges.

And under the words of the two side doors, a lot of characters and stories in Taoist mythology are carved with relief technology, and if you look closely, you find that almost everyone carved on it has knocked off her head, which is obvious, it was damaged when the four old ones were broken. Even the word "Changchun" in the "Changchun View" has a large black mark at the bottom, and it can be seen at a glance that it is a trace of being set on fire and blackened.

Songzi and I are both from the Taoist Gate, although we are not wearing Taoist clothes at the moment, we are dressed like ordinary people, and we are still very uncomfortable when we see this situation. The door of the Taoist temple is closed, according to the reason, the monks eat the four sides of the offering, there is no incense to worship, the temple has become an empty temple, I can't help but feel a sadness in my heart, the original belief we believe in is not accepted by others, even if we have to suffer this bad luck, so that our descendants and grandchildren, see all feel distressed.

Songzi stabilized his mood for a moment, because even if it looked tattered here, it was really much more atmospheric than the Yunsheng Palace where he was. He walked over to the door, grabbed the ring from the door and began to bang on it. Three times at a time, about seven or eight seconds apart, and then three more strokes. This was repeated seven or eight times before I saw through the crack in the wooden door that a man in a blue Taoist dress was really coming from the inner hall towards the door.

The door creaked open, and a Taoist man who looked to be in his forties stood in the doorway, looking at us with alert and alarmed eyes.

This Taoist figure is about the same as Songzi's skinny, but his skin is darker, and he is also a standard Taoist attire. From his long goatee, I learned that his mentor had died, otherwise his disciples would not have dared to keep a beard without permission. It's just that his frightened eyes surprised me a little.

After a long time, he tried to ask with some trepidation, "You two are compassionate, why did you come here?" Maybe this is the difference between Gongguan Taoist priests and folk Taoist priests, listening to them, there is always a pedantic smell of literary crepe. Songzi hurriedly replied, I heard that this Changchun Temple is a holy place of Taoism, and I came to Wuhan today to visit it.

Songzi deliberately spoke to the Taoist who opened the door in Sichuan dialect to express the fact that we are indeed outsiders. So the Taoist opened the door wider with suspicion, and then leaned to the side, and let us enter the palace gate. The ground in the Taoist temple is still very clean, but the dining hall and Kun Taoist courtyard on the east side of the Taoist temple have long been destroyed to the point that only some light shelves remain. Songzi and I were wandering around the Taoist temple with complicated feelings, and the Taoist who opened the door for us followed us from a distance without saying a word, which made me feel particularly strange that there were only three or four Taoist people in such a large-scale Taoist temple, and when they saw us, they chose to deliberately dodge, and some really had nowhere to hide, and when they saw us, they immediately stopped what they were doing, and then put their hands on their sides and bowed their heads to us.

This scene made me sad, but Songzi asked me in a low voice at this time, Situ, why do these Taoist priests bow their heads or avoid us? I sighed and said because they were afraid. Matsuko still asked puzzled, afraid? What are you afraid of? In broad daylight, we two big living people are here, and we don't have anything strange on our bodies, so there's nothing to be afraid of. I stopped and told Songzi, because they have all seen the actions of the group of people who smashed the palace before, the gate here is closed, and no one must have come to visit for a long time, these Taoist priests were left here to temporarily take care of the palace, and the remaining Taoist priests, either driven away, or forced to return to the world, are no longer here.

My words surprised Songzi very much, he, a Taoist priest living in the mountains, naturally did not know what had happened between the clergy over the years. It took him a while before he asked me, "How do you know this?"

I told him because I was one of the people who had seen it.
