007 Sanguan Temple
"Hey, I've finally found the Taoist. Just as Xuanyuan was in reverie, Sun Manjun ran over panting, "Dad thought you left quietly, and he was so anxious that I should hurry up and find it." When he learned that his son was about to recover, the father was no longer as depressed and hopeless as he had seen before, and his whole body was rejuvenated.
"The layman can call the poor and the road is far away. Xuan Yuan bowed, "I haven't been to the town for a long time, and Poor Dao plans to take my junior brothers and sisters for a good visit." ”
Sun Manjun didn't respond, just looked at the two little guys in surprise, he had always thought that Xuanyuan Daoist had accepted another little apprentice. However, he didn't say much, Sun Manjun looked at the stone temple not far away, and said, "The wooden table that was originally made was taken from here, Daoist, are you interested in this temple?"
The wooden table with the remnants of mana?Xuan Yuan was surprised in his heart, and nodded, he was indeed very interested.
Sun Manjun's breath stabilized at this moment, no longer panting, he said with a smile: "If you want to talk about the history and culture of this town, I know it very well, because the old man in the family always likes to nag about this." ”
"If you want to talk about this stone temple, there is also a legend. Some tourists come to us and we tell them about it. Legend has it that more than 100 years ago, there was a monster in our Qingxi Town, destroying crops, hunting poultry, and even eating people. ”
"A Taoist priest?"
"Yes, it's a Taoist priest. He called on the villagers to build a temple and opened the altar as soon as the temple was built. It is said that when he was doing this, it rained heavily in the sky for seven days and seven nights, forming the jade stream around our town, and finally sealing the monster. ”
"Then what happened to this Taoist priest?"
"I don't know, although it is mentioned in the genealogy, it is not recorded in detail. However, Zhendong's 'flower fritters' often say that his ancestors worshiped under the Taoist priest and gained three points of ability. Speaking of this, Sun Manjun couldn't help but shake his head.
Xuan Yuan smiled, "What's the matter? You don't believe the words of that 'flower fritters'?"
"That's not true, although he is a little lazy, but he is not enough to tell such a lie. Speaking of which, he is indeed very attentive to this temple, and he must come to clean it once a day, rain or shine, and he is more devout than the old men and women in the town. Hey, if he had such half of his heart for himself, he wouldn't have started a family by now. ”
"So you say?"
"Doesn't he really believe in the gods of this temple? Every day after cleaning this temple, he will go into the temple and ask the heavenly officials to bless him, and he will not go outside for a while, no matter how poor he is, he will also be diligent in his hands and feet to do some small business, but he will not rely on doing things at funerals to earn some living expenses, and the rest of the time he will spend all his time studying some Taoist books and spells. Alas, how many girls would marry such a man?"
Xuan Yuan also shook his head, and suddenly, as if thinking of something, Xuan Yuan asked, "Heavenly officials bless, is this temple dedicated to the Emperor Sanguan?"
"Well, but this temple was left unused when my dad was very young. However, there are still a lot of people who believe in it now, but they are basically old people who come to find a sustenance. Alas, in this day and age, it is good for someone to believe, but without faith there is no god, and this stone temple will probably not be completely abandoned and declined. ”
Yes, you can't become a god without faith, isn't the most important thing to the gods is faith? Xuan Yuan suddenly had some clues in his heart about how to better complete the second guiding task.
The four of them continued to wander around the town, and then returned to Sun's house.
Ma Yuanfang was serving dishes to the table, and the food in the morning was relatively light, a total of a bowl of egg soup with green onions, a plate of water spinach, and a plate of refreshing cucumbers.
As soon as he saw Xuanyuan and the others stepping into the courtyard gate, Sun Laohan said with a smile: "Dao Chang got up early, I tossed an old bone yesterday, and I only got out of bed now." Xuan Yuan responded with a smile.
Ma Yuanfang greeted the two little ones and said cordially: "Come on, let's go wash our hands together and start eating in a while." Xuanwei Xuanming was also hungry after walking all morning, and obediently lined up to wash his hands and came to the dinner table, with a bowl of egg soup and a bowl of spiky rice in front of him. The two little ones were not polite either, and ate in large gulps.
After eating, the Sun family still wanted to stay. Ma Yuanfang was the most enthusiastic, and he lost the haggard appearance of his hair at the beginning: "Dao Chief, it's better to stay and have a lunch before leaving." I didn't cook any good dishes in the morning, so I went to buy some chicken, duck, beef and fish, and the two children liked the dishes I cooked. ”
Sun Laohan glared at his daughter-in-law: "What nonsense, don't buy beef." Ma Yuanfang said "ah", a little unclear.
"It's okay, Ma Jushi doesn't know that I have a taboo in the microscopic sense, and after a day of bothering, we should also go back to the mountain. Xuanyuan waved his hand to show that he didn't mind, his own Qing Micro belonged to the righteous faction, and there was a saying of "three don't ask, four don't eat".
The Taoist three don't ask means not to ask about longevity, not to ask about mundane things, and not to ask about family life, while the Taoist four don't eat is not to eat cows, birds, fish, wild geese, and dogs, because these four animals represent loyalty, filial piety, festival, and righteousness respectively.
Time has changed, except for the former Shou, there are still some people who maintain taboos, and the rest have been paid less attention to, but the latter has been passed down.
After hearing this, the Sun family tried to save them to no avail, and Sun Laohan insisted: "I have lived for more than 80 years, and the proudest thing in my life is that only others owe me favors, but I never owe others favors. Daoist, you have helped us so much, I have to repay you no matter what you say. ”
Xuan Yuan was stunned, and then a little funny, probably only a family adhering to this kind of personality and temperament, Master Shouyuan would give a Xinyi card.
In the end, Xuanyuan made up his mind and said: "Since this is the case, the poor road is not hypocritical, and I hope that the layman can build a temple of the Great Emperor of the Three Officials for me at the foot of Qingwei Mountain." Moreover, I hope that you can rely on your prestige in the town to ask every layman who believes in the Emperor of the Three Officials for blue bricks and black tiles as part of the temple materials. ”
The Sun family was a little surprised, building a temple is nothing, even if it requires a large amount of additional transportation costs to build in Qingwei Mountain, the Sun family also admits that they are not a wealthy family, but they also have some savings and heritage. It's just that the latter condition is a bit ...... It can be said that it is a bit troublesome and unexpected.
Xuan Yuan continued to take care of himself and said: "Poor Dao heard this morning that there are still many people who believe in the Sanguan Emperor in the stone temple in the town, and they must always be able to get some materials. Whether you take your own tiles or make a green brick by yourself, you can do it, but it must be a sincere gift. "These bricks and tiles that embody the faith of believers will be excellent materials.
Sun Laohan didn't hesitate anymore, and immediately made a decision: "Okay, I agreed, old man, I'll do it immediately!"
"Ding, detect host behavior, [Taoist Gods: Guide Quest (2/3) Choose to worship the gods: Sanguan Emperor]"
"Since [Emperor Sanguan] is the first deity to be enshrined by the host, the primary faith function x1 is hereby unlocked for free"
At the same time, after [Sect] and [Individual], the system interface has a third column: [Gods], and there is a building under its jurisdiction: Sanguan Temple.
In this way, the second guidance task was basically completed, Xuan Yuan thought in his heart, and felt a little regretful in his heart, after all, he was planning to build the temple of the Nine Heavens Ying Yuan Thunder Puhua Tianzun. You must know that they are one of the representatives of the Qingwei and the Thunder Law. But up to now, most of them are some basic methods, and some of them are even mixed with the shadow of some Maoshan techniques.....
I don't know what the function of that primary belief is, Xuanyuan clicked on the information of the Sanguan Temple, raised his eyebrows, and it seemed to be pretty good.
