The temple of human ancestors, according to legend, is the place where the descendants worship the ancestor of the human emperor, Fuxi Nuwa. In the pre-Qin period, this temple was also called the 'Ancestor Temple', but because it hit the name of the First Emperor of Qin, it was changed to the 'Ancestral Temple'.

According to the archaeological research of later generations, the ancestral temple here has a very long history and is also known as one of the birthplaces of the ancestors. And on this Li Mountain, there are many legends and stories.

And the old mother of Lishan is also one of the protagonists of these legends.

From the Qin to the Han Dynasty, and now to the present, this Lishan Mountain has always been one of the royal back gardens. Ordinary human tracks are rare, and there are many tigers, leopards, insects and wolves. Only the old mother palace of Lishan has people going up the mountain to incense.

And Erqing appeared on the peak of one of the Nine Dragon Peaks, and no one knew about it.

The Renzu Temple does not occupy a wide area, and it looks more like an ordinary tiled house from a distance. The probe pushed open the temple door, but saw the two ancestor gods standing in front of him, shaking his head and looking around, there were several murals on the wall, slightly mottled.

Erqing looked at the two ancestors, and thought in his heart, in the mythological story, the two ancestors were human heads and snake bodies, and Nuwa Niangniang made people from the soil, so they were known as the ancestors of the human race.

However, in many mythological novels, they are the ancestors of the demon race.

Is this world a world of myths and novels?

And Erqing felt that he was a snake, and at least half of him was similar to this human ancestor.

So, he bowed his head and prayed in his heart: "The two ancestors are above, and the younger generation Cen Erqing is here to worship the two ancestors, hoping that the two ancestors have spirits in the sky, feeling the sincerity of Erqing, guiding Erqing, and helping Erqing get rid of the suffering of reincarnation in all eternity...... Erqing is pious and beggar, kowtow and worship!"

After kowtowing a few heads, Erqing withdrew from the Renzu Temple, crossed his body in front of the temple, and bowed again.

At night, the silver moon is like a plate, hanging high in the air, the moon pours the earth, and the two greens raise their heads in front of the temple to devour.

After three poles in the sun, Erqing hid in the grass next to the temple and fell asleep.

This dwelling is seven days, and he bows to the gods every day, hoping that one day, the ancestors of the people will be able to manifest their spirits, appear in front of them, and enlighten him.

The behavior may seem nonsense, but it cannot be said that it is completely wrong.

After all, this is a mythical world, full of immortals and Buddhas, who knows if the two ancestors will really manifest their spirits?

Erqing only thought that he was not sincere enough, so he bowed every day.

However, a month later, there was still no response, and Erqing gradually died.

Looking back on this journey, seven days and nights, and now there is still no achievement, and I suddenly feel sad.

It just so happened that it was also early winter at this time, and Erqing was lazy again.

So, he found a crypt and went into hibernation.

The north wind is bleak, everything is withering, the first snow is falling, and the cold winter is coming.

The wind and snow deceive the earth, and the frost flowers fly all over the sky. Silver makeup envelops everything, and the mountains and rivers are misty.

The cold winter is gradually over, the snow of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains is gradually disappearing, the spring returns to the earth, all things are full of revival, thunder and earthquake, birds and beasts return to the nest and insects rise, and the drizzle continues, and the grass and trees are covered with green and moist the earth.

It's another year of spring breeze, and Erqing has been traveling for eight years.

Waking up from hunger and cold, lazily stretching the snake's waist, the lazy disease is not over, but he also has to shake his spirit and go out of the hole to find something to eat.

I found a few yams to fill my stomach at random, and Erqing returned to the front of the ancestral temple, watching the ancestors and gods, and thinking about what they did. Now in its eighth year of traveling, where do we go next?

Thinking carefully about the dangers and difficulties along the way, Erqing couldn't help but cry sadly.

But who is alone and widowed? Thinking about it, I choked and choked up.

It took him a long time before he regained his mood, thinking about the monkey who sought immortality and wandered in the world for nine years before he found the truth. Think about yourself again, it's not the protagonist's life, what if it takes a few more years?

Thinking like this, Er Qing's heart suddenly felt much better.

So, he looked back and worshiped the two ancestors, and then went to Lishan Mountain and stayed overnight at Longfeng.

He also saw the old mother palace of Lishan on other peaks, and then saw that on the old mother palace, the auspicious light was shining, and the strips of rui color shone on the west mountain; the green clouds were shrouded, and the mist surrounded the heavenly peak; the voices of people were boiling, and the incense of thousands of homes was bright; sandalwood was fragrant, and the wisps of light smoke danced in the blue night.

Seeing that the incense here is so vigorous and too popular, Erqing does not dare to go easily, and only dares to go forward in the dead of night.

However, it had no effect. Erqing didn't know if it was his lack of sincerity, or if his mother and her old man were not in the palace, so they went out to preach.

In short, it's useless.

Helpless, he had no choice but to return to the ancestral temple again, and continued to live the days of 'traveling to thousands of mountains and ravines and staying in front of the ancestral temple at night', often looking for treasure medicine and swallowing it, and also reinforcing the education of ten thousand beasts.

Since then, it is common to see beasts standing in front of the ancestral temple, and there are birds hovering in the air here.

There is also a cyan giant snake lying in the middle, sometimes spitting letters and screaming, sometimes spitting out people's words, birds and beasts call the two green masters, respect their education, often save the people who collect medicine in the mountains, and also spend the stream to find a guest.

In this way, the cold and the summer went back and forth for another three years.

Erqing has been away from home for eleven years, and his body length has grown to more than 15 zhang because he swallowed the moon at night, ate purple qi in the morning, took treasure medicine, and drank spiritual springs.

Such a giant snake has long been called a dragon in the eyes of the world!

There are people who go to the old mother's palace to enter the incense, they often hear that there is a spirit snake in this mountain that is huge like a green dragon, saying that this spirit snake does not harm people, but also saves people, there are rescued people to say, there are red spots on its top, can spit out people's words, can also drive away ten thousand beasts, can resist the wind. When traveling on land, it is like a hidden nine secluded, and when it jumps, it is like a giant dragon crossing the sky, but you can see the green shadow.

Some people also said that this is the manifestation of the disciples under the old mother's seat to save the people from hardship.

There are even people who are discussing, whether to build a small shrine next to the old mother's shrine for this spirit snake?

When Erqing heard these rumors, he couldn't help but laugh and cry, he wanted to become a disciple of the old mother of Lishan! However, this was just an extravagant hope, if the old mother was really willing to accept him as a disciple, if the old mother was really a spirit, and he secretly went to worship and beg from time to time, how could she not see it?

One day, the heat was thick, Erqing hid in the bushes behind the ancestral temple to escape the heat, and suddenly a bird came to report, "Erqing Shijun, there are humans here under the mountain." ”

Hearing this, Erqing nodded and said, "You go and let everyone disperse, don't stay here, so as not to startle those humans, and turn around and send troops to drive and kill." ”

The bird nodded yes and walked away.

Erqing slipped out of the bushes, coiled in front of the ancestral temple, looked down, and saw a team of people and horses slowly climbing the mountain under the mountain.

Some people carry things covered with red thickness, some people carry burdens, there are armor soldiers in front and behind to protect each other, and there are scribes to guide each other, and it looks like they have come to sacrifice.

However, no one has come to worship in this person's ancestral temple for many years, so why did anyone come this time?

Although I don't know why these people are here, Erqing still turned around and bowed to the ancestral gods, and said: "Two ancestors, this place is no longer a peach source for me, Erqing is gone." Although Erqing doesn't know where to go next, I still thank the two ancestors for taking this place to live with me all these years!"

After worshipping, Erqing slipped down the mountain from the back of the mountain and escaped far into the mountains.

However, as soon as he crossed the two mountains, a cry for help came from the edge of a quiet stream.
