Chapter 7 Although Zhou is an old state, its life is renewed

The so-called temple is visible only in the state and is a place to worship the ancestors. Before the Ji family entered the Zhou Yuan, there was only an ancestral temple, and there was no ancestral temple.

Later, he built a city on top of Zhou Yuan, and was canonized by the Son of Shang, and the Zhou State appeared. As a result, the Ji family also logically upgraded the ancestral temple to the ancestral temple.

In the temple of the Ji family, which ancestors are sacrificed, the great uncle is also very clear.

The golden-colored sword qi just now, he also had a faint guess in his heart.

It is because I know that I am more afraid.

If his guess is true, it will be the greatest disaster in heaven and earth.

Even, the great uncle wanted to ignore his injuries and go to the place where he studied witches to report the news, so that the witches could be prepared.

However, thinking of his current situation, Da Zongbo finally smiled, where did he dare to move.

If you go out now, I'm afraid that dozens of soldiers will be able to consume themselves to death.

That Qi Refiner's methods were better than his own after all.

······

It was also an extremely strange day for the sergeants gathered nearby.

At the beginning, they were instructed to stay outside the Witch Temple and the Jong Temple, and not to let anyone approach today.

Somehow, they knew it had to be a big deal.

Sure enough, in the witch temple, something terrible must have happened to have such a vision of heaven and earth.

The soldiers of Wumiao, as well as the people of Zhou Yuan nearby, were frightened by this vision of heaven and earth and knelt on the ground.

What could be more terrible to the world than the wrath of heaven and earth?

Fortunately, this scene that frightened them did not last long.

I didn't want to think that the terrifying thunder didn't fall down on the place where the Witch Temple and the Zong Temple were located. On the contrary, after a golden light, the smoke vanished, and the thunder and lightning disappeared, as if it had not existed.

Without receiving orders, these sergeants did not dare to move, and although they had all kinds of thoughts in their hearts, they still guarded the outside, preventing the onlookers from entering the radius of the witch temple.

······

Still between the two temples, the four generations of the Ji family, all of them were silent.

On one side is the Witch Temple, which is the place of worship of the ghosts and gods of heaven and earth, and on the other side is the Jongmyo Temple, which is the place of worship of the ancestors.

Now, in the witch temple, the meaning of the will of heaven and earth, the great uncle said it obviously, and the sky hates it. I don't know what Ji Kao did, God is disgusted, and I don't even want him to live in the world anymore.

There is no one in the temple to endorse it, but that sword qi undoubtedly shows its attitude.

Heaven and earth are tired of me.

Heaven and earth want to destroy me, and I will save them.

This "I", if it were anyone else, whether it was Ji Yan or his children and grandchildren, would not be regarded as the same thing.

But this is no one else, the owner of that golden sword qi, although they have never seen it, it is not difficult to guess.

Such majestic and majestic, so majestic and vast, dare to face the heavenly might, and can also resolve the heavenly might, except for their ancestor, who else will there be?

At this time, Ji Yan was almost angry, he glanced at several of his descendants, and said in a weak voice: "Carry me to the temple, I have something to tell you." ”

After a short time, six of their ancestors and grandchildren came back to the temple, in front of the spiritual seat of the ancestors of the Ji family.

Ji Kao looked at the familiar Zongmiao, and sighed in his heart, he finally escaped.

Although his heart was affected by the will of those ancestors, he was not afraid at all in his heart, and faced the power of heaven with awe. However, if you can not die, who would want to find death?

Looking at the middle of the spiritual position of the temple, Ji Kao hurriedly saluted. Then, together with all the elders, they bowed down and prostrated as if they were sacrificial.

Ji Kao has no disgust at all for the ancestor in the middle of the kneeling and bowing, no matter in the past or present life, this majesty can be regarded as his ancestor.

In the previous life, etiquette and music had collapsed, and when morality changed, many etiquettes had disappeared.

At that time, he also liked to visit the mountains and rivers, and wherever he went, wherever there was a Buddhist temple and Taoist temple, he would go to visit.

However, no matter how fanciful and exciting the monks and Taoists are. In his previous life, Zhou Yuan never bowed to any Buddha statue or Tianzun, at most he bowed three times to show respect.

It's not that there are no places to bow down, but those places are the Three Emperors Temple, the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum, the Tomb of King Yu and other places, and the respect is not for ghosts and gods, but for ancestors.

As for the temple incense almsgiving, he didn't even think of giving, and if he had a surplus of money, he would rather give it to the poor who needed it than to the monks who didn't know how much richer than him.

He was not prejudiced against Buddhism, but against people.

In fact, he knows more about Buddhism than most people in the world, and he talks about the scriptures as the Tao.

In his view, the essence of Buddhism and Taoism to the world lies in compassion and morality, not in the Heavenly Immortal Buddha, let alone in the mud-fetal puppets of the Heavenly Immortal Buddha.

On the contrary, these ancestors either formulated ethics, or solved the problem of food and clothing, or eliminated the flood, or sought dignity, so that future generations could live better and better lives, and this is the real great merit.

The so-called merits of Buddhism, at least in Ji Kao's view, are far from being comparable.

When he bowed down, Ji Kao's thoughts were flying, from the ancient ancestors and the symbols of gods and demons, to the Buddhist and Taoist ideas of later generations, which collided alternately in his mind.

"Kao'er, tell us, what scene did you see in the Spirit Stone, which made the heavens and the earth angry?"

Ji Chang also underwent the test, and in his mind, the scene presented was the eight phases of evolution in the world that Fu Xi declared when he painted the hexagram.

Heaven and earth, water, volcanoes, wind and thunder, change.

I just don't know, what does this eldest son of his see?

Not only Ji Chang, but also his elders all looked at Ji Kao, waiting for his answer.

"I saw a man who killed the fierce beasts and drew a bow to set the sun; I saw a man who chased the shadow of the sun and drank the river as much as he could; I saw a man who raised an axe against the sky and danced with his head off; I saw all kinds of ancestors fighting against the gods and fighting demons; I saw all kinds of ancestors who sacrificed only heaven and earth, and those who served had no ghosts and gods. ”

After Ji Kao finished speaking, the audience was shocked!

His elders were completely immersed in the scene he was talking about.

They had all heard these stories, but they had never thought about them. Now that Ji Kao said it, they also fell into deep thought.

In their hearts, although they know the story, what they think in their hearts is not the same thing at all.

The person who shoots the sun is just a traitor of the Xia Hou clan, the person who chases the sun is just an arrogant person of a certain race, and the person who cuts off his head and rebels against the sky is even more reckless and self-defeating.

As for sacrificing heaven and earth, and putting aside the ghosts and gods, it is something they have never thought of.

"What do you think?"

Ji Yan's face was gloomy, and he couldn't support it for long, but in his eyes, he had never been as confused as he was now.

Ji Taibo, as the eldest son, shook his head: "This kind of thing is incredible, and my generation dare not say it." ”

Ji Zhongyong and Ji Jili also shook their heads, not knowing what to say.

For them, these things are actually too far away. Rong Di, who was close in front of him, didn't know how to solve it yet, and it didn't make much sense to think about these big things.

Ji Yan looked at them with no change on his face, and continued to look at Ji Chang, waiting for the answer from his favorite grandson.

Ji Chang paused, glanced at the many ancestors worshiped in the temple, from the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan to the Emperor, then to the Emperor, and then to the Houji Ji, their Zhongxing ancestor Ji Liu, and then spit out a sentence lightly.

"Although Zhou is an old state, his life is renewed!"

One sentence, eight words, but the meaning is quite deep, but it completely tells Ji Chang's thoughts.

Houji is the ancestor, that is far away in the time of Emperor Yu and Yao Shun, and the Zhou State can be regarded as a very ancient state. Although the state is ancient, the mission of the Zhou state is to reform the old system.

As long as it is wrong, as long as it is bad, as long as the timing is right, Zhou Guo will reform him.

When Ji Yan heard these eight words, he looked up to the sky and smiled: "I'm worry-free." ”

"Remember, these eight characters should be the eulogy of my Ji clan. My Ji family is not as good as soup, without the protection of the Xuanniao, but with this eight-character inheritance, there is no need for the protection of the Xuanniao. ”

The so-called eulogy is used to praise the heavens, the earth and the ancestors when the ethnic group sacrifices.

Among them, Yin Shang's eulogy, known all over the world, is the famous "Heavenly Destiny Xuanniao, descending to give birth to business".

When Ji Yan said this, he did not mean to compete with Yin Shang.

The Ji family, which is in the same vein as Yin Shang, is actually of the same origin and different streams, and they are all from after Emperor Yu.

Emperor Yu's concubine Jian Di, the daughter of Yourong, saw a bird egg when she went out to bathe with others, and after Jian Di swallowed it, she became pregnant and gave birth to a deed, which is the ancestor of the merchant.

Emperor Yu's other concubine, Jiang Yan, is the daughter of the Tai family, she played in the suburbs, unintentionally trampled on the footprints of giants, and became pregnant and gave birth to Ji, who is the ancestor of the Zhou people.

Others don't know, but Ji Yan knows very well that behind the businessman, there has always been the help of the Xuanniao lineage. It is precisely because of this that before Pangeng moved to Yin, the Shang royal family was able to survive hundreds of years of turmoil.

The merchants are also proud of this, they know that the Xuanniao lineage has always sheltered them.

The Divine Destiny Bird descends to give birth to business.

This eulogy also spread throughout Kyushu with merchants.

"Taibo, Zhongyong, Ji Li, I plan to pass on the thing passed down by my ancestors to Ji Kao, what do you think?"

Ji Kang's eyes were kind, and he glanced at Ji Kao again, this great-grandson, he couldn't see through it at all.

Ji Chang could see a clue that he should follow the virtues of the ancient saint kings and prosper the Ji clan, but Ji Kao was like a dragon lurking in the world, making him unable to assert his future.

"We have no opinion. ”

The three brothers nodded hurriedly, none of them were greedy for profit. Besides, that ancestral thing, it is useless to give it to them, but it is passed on to Ji Kao, and in the future, you can see this thing shine.

"I have three major regrets in my life, and I hope that you and other future generations can help me complete these three regrets after my death. ”

Ji Yan's face was flushed, and his voice was a little excited, this last breath had been hanging for a long time.
