Chapter 23, Wen Shenggong Temple

Yizhou City is located in Yizhou Zhonghuan, vast and vast, is the place where the capital of Yizhou is located, and is one of the largest cities in the whole Yizhou. Its scale is comparable to that of Nanyang City. The vast and endless city stretches for thousands of miles, has existed since ancient times, and has tens of thousands of inhabitants in its buildings. The state capital, the college, and the pavilion are built side by side, which is magnificent.

Yizhou City has the famous four major clans, Xu, Mu, Shen, Wan Qi, all are famous, after the prince and prince, the background is profound, it can be called the ancient family, standing at the top of Yizhou City, the strength is only one level weaker than Yizhou Mansion.

In the pastoral house, a middle-aged man stood in the courtyard, his eyebrows were like distant mountains, and he was not angry and arrogant. Watching a delicate rockery, there is a circular fish pond under it, made of fine marble, among which the koi swim, very beautiful, behind him, is a middle-aged beauty, dressed in a cold palace dress, dignified and elegant, quietly playing a piano sound, there is a charm. This is Mu Li's parents, Mu Changfeng and Mrs. Luoyang.

"Li'er should be almost there. Mu Changfeng opened his mouth abruptly, Mrs. Luoyang had exquisite makeup, her eyes blinked slightly, and she said lightly: "The most comforting thing about that kid this time is what Mu Ye said, in addition to seeing the world, seeing his position clearly, and not being proud." ”

"This is also, after looking for pharmacology for so many years, I almost went to Xishu to seek a hidden miracle doctor, but I didn't expect to meet a strange person, not only to cure the disease, but also to become a martial artist, which can be regarded as fulfilling the wishes of me and Li'er's father and son. It's just that I don't know what a great man that strange man is, and he has such a wonderful method. ”

The shepherd's face was pleased, he stretched out his hand and grabbed a koi in the water: "I hope that Li'er is not a thing in the pool, and he will make a name for himself and serve the country." ”

"My sons have grown up and have their own thoughts and lives, and the two of us don't have to interfere too much in their lives. Xuan'er is dedicated to martial arts, and has become the youngest general-level figure in the imperial court, and the future road is almost planned, but I don't know what to do with Li'er, I think with that kid's ambition, I'm afraid that I will have to cultivate both civil and military. "As the biological mother of Mu Li, Mrs. Luoyang also knows her temperament well.

She moved her five fingers at great speed and played a famous song.

"Haha, that's fine. The shepherd laughed out loud and threw the koi into the water with a wave of his hand.

......

After a half-day trip, Makino led a group of people from the Makino clan along the official road to a castle, and on the far to its left, there was a hill, on which a bell rang from time to time, and could be heard. Many pedestrians gathered and went up the mountain, and some of the residents who came out of the city and walked up the mountain road with reverence and piety.

"This is Puyi City, I don't know what is on this mountain, it will attract so many people?" Makino doesn't know why, and looking at the appearance of these people, there are commoners and nobles, and most of them are literati. But all of them are pious, which shows that there is something extraordinary about this mountain.

"Let's go up and have a look. "Mu Li is quite interested.

"It's fine. ”

They answered, and then moved, and followed the people who had come out of the city up the hill, along a road that was not very wide, and on both sides were some ancient trees, vigorous and tall, and there were many strips of red cloth tied to them, which were quite peculiar in the wind. At this time, the Mu family also understood what this place was.

"Gong Temple. ”

Mu Li opened his mouth lightly and recognized this place. This kind of place also exists outside Yizhou. This is a tradition that has been passed down since ancient times in the four regions of Kyushu in the Daibu Kingdom. It is rumored in ancient times that the two saints of civil and military affairs are the founding merits of the Great Wu Kingdom. Help the emperor to establish the country, study the study of civil and military affairs, educate the world, and prosper the human race. It is known as the ancestor of the two studies of literature and martial arts in the world.

In order to appreciate the merits of the two saints, the emperor of later generations ordered the construction of public temples in various parts of the Dawu Kingdom to worship the two saints, which also became the belief of later generations of civil and military scholars. Of course, later there were also great merits of the imperial court, and the great achievers were awarded the civil and military holy positions. This kind of character has long been extraordinary, even the human emperor will not control it more, and he is at ease, comparable to an immortal.

It is rumored that the Gong Temple has the meaning of the saint's law, attracting people to worship. The literati worship the Wensheng Temple, pray for the success of the big exam, worship the official career, and the warrior worships the Wusheng Temple, praying for the understanding of the essence of martial arts, the progress of cultivation, and the achievement of court officers.

The two Shenggong temples are almost in all the first-class cities, which is a tradition that has come from ancient times, and there are also two large civil and military two Shenggong temples in Yizhou City, which are built in the treasure land of feng shui, and the terrain is a blessed land. Mu Li and Chu Chu went with his parents a lot when they were young.

It's just that he often goes to Wensheng Temple. And when he accompanied his eldest brother Mu Zhixuan, he went to the Wusheng Temple.

In this life, there has been no Wensheng Wusheng who has been canonized by the emperor, and the holy position is vacant. On the bright side of the imperial court, there is only one soldier saint, and the first person in Confucianism in the Jixia School Palace can also be called a Confucian saint.

"Look at this appearance should be Wensheng Temple, since we are here, let's also go to worship, go to incense. Makino and the others continued to walk, through the mountain road, and in about half an hour, they came to the place of the temple on the mountain.

It's an open area, a magnificent building, atmospheric and elegant. The above good Nanmu is carved and carved as the material, every door and window screen is particularly exquisite, carved dragon and phoenix, Pixiu and other Rui beast forms, lifelike, vivid, see that the building carpenter is a master.

In front of the door, there are two huge stone lions standing there, mighty and domineering, with huge eyes carved vividly, making a body with an open mouth, dancing claws, and a wonderful expression.

There are many pedestrians of all colors who come and go here, offering incense and praying, and their expressions are pious, hoping to be baptized by the will of the saints. Grow in knowledge.

"Brother Li didn't expect you to come here today, fortunately, how about a meeting?" A middle-aged man spoke, saluted another man, pointed to the main entrance of the temple, and invited the man to enter first.

"Haha, Brother Yang feels that the saint doesn't mean it, but you are moving fast enough, and you have just arrived below, and Brother Yang has already finished worshipping. The man in his thirties was full of bookishness and greeted another man who walked out of the temple gate.

"Brother Gao is not late, but there are a lot of people in this temple today, so it's better to hurry in and get an incense. I wish you to feel the will of the saints and reach a higher level of attainment. He won the top spot in this year's big exam. ”

"Haha, what Brother Yang said is that the little brother will go in first, but this saint is too ethereal, who can feel it, I just hope that this year's big exam will go well, I have been taking the exam for ten years. If I come to visit another day, I will definitely finish the poetry couplet with Brother Yang that day, and I will be one point high. ”

"Waiting for you at any time. ”

......

"What is this place?" Qing He didn't know why, and asked, she naturally felt that everyone here looked respectful, and it was an extraordinary place. However, there is no such temple building in Xianmen, and I have never seen this custom, and I still burn incense and light candles.

"Wensheng Temple, the ancestor of all scholars and scholars in the world, believes, and can be blessed by saints after worshipping. Mu Li explained.

"Saint, what kind of realm is this?"

"If you put it in the fairy gate, you can call it an immortal. The shepherd left his mouth, thinking that he was okay with such a match. What the Xianmen monks admired in their hearts was the immortal who was at ease, immortal and immortal, and transcendent from the mundane, such as the sword immortal of the nineteen states of a sword light, the sword immortal of the Daozhen Avenue and so on. And the power of the world is in the name of God.

"I see. Qinghe nodded, understanding why these people looked like this, they were worshipping those supreme figures. Take Xianmen as an example, millions of rivers and mountains do not see immortals, but the word immortal has existed since ancient times, and those Taoist sects that inherit the Daoist method of immortals are all standing at the top of the immortal sect.

Then everyone entered the temple, and they saw a statue of Wensheng, he held a scroll in his hand to read, his expression was calm, his eyes were like a torch, as if he had penetrated through the thousands of years, and he was like a living person. But he was motionless, and he was indeed a statue. The surrounding incense is swirling, and there is a kind of Dharma that cannot be desecrated by all living beings.

Everyone stepped forward one after another, took off the candle on the incense table and lit it, inserted it into the ash pool below, and then lit the incense, closed their eyes and worshipped, with a solemn expression. The so-called follow the customs, and this is the statue of the ancestor of the highest rank of the secular dynasty in the world.

Put it in the immortal gate, it is a world-respected immortal.

Boom!

At this time, there is a bell ringing from the bell tower outside the temple, the temple keeper rings the bell, the bell is melodious, ringing in this mountain and river land, even the people in the city of Puyi can also hear, looking at the mountains where the temple is located outside the city, you can see that the fireworks float in the void one after another, and they will endure for a long time.

When the bell rings, it is accumulating the wishes of sentient beings in order to seek prosperity.

Mu Li held three incense sticks in his hand and bowed to the statue of Wensheng, his face was pious. When he studied literature, he naturally wanted to worship Wensheng, but in the future, I was afraid that he would have to go to the Wusheng Temple in Yizhou City, after all, if he became a martial artist, he would also worship Wusheng.

In addition to him, Chu Chu, Qing He, Mu Ye, Mu Qingzhou and others are all in the state and are worshipping.

And before everyone knew it, the scroll in the hand of the statue of Wen Sheng, there was a flash of golden brilliance, and everyone only felt that their minds were sinking at this moment, as if they were stuck in a quagmire, and they couldn't break free, their eyes were closed, and their thoughts and minds were struggling, and they were shocked by this inexplicable change.

"What's going on!" The shepherd could not return to his physical body at this moment, and when he woke up, he seemed to be in a vast and endless wasteland, and there was no one in the wilderness, only he was alone!

If he wasn't close to him, all the people who worshipped at this moment fell into the realm of their minds, and their souls fell into a very strange situation with their spiritual wisdom, and they couldn't wake up. Even if you struggle, it doesn't help. For a time, the Wensheng Temple was quite weird.

This is the saint's will to come to the dust!

Mu Li's eyes were closed, motionless, and his mind came to this lonely wilderness, and he couldn't see a person beside him, Chu Chu Qinghe and others disappeared, which made him extremely uneasy, I don't know what happened, this situation has never happened when I worshipped in Yizhou City Wensheng Temple in the past.

What's going on?

"Kill!"

At this time, he heard countless sounds of killing, the original wilderness had already turned into a battlefield, swords and swords flashed in all directions, endless ironclad soldiers fought together, the sound shook the heavens and the earth, and the sound covered thousands of miles of mountains and rivers. The blood flowed like a river, and the generals and princes were all bloody, fighting fiercely with the foreign Yi......
