Chapter 90: The Goddess
The poet saint Du Fu, in fact, many people present know that after all, Du Fu's hometown Gongxian is separated from Jiyuan Mansion from the north and south of the Yellow River, which is not too far away. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Du Fu is called Du Shizhi, and many scholars naturally know it, but the relationship between the poet Du Shizhi and the Du Shi Aunt Temple in front of him is really not thought about.
This is actually the so-called blind eye to Mount Tai.
The saying that the ten aunts are in charge of marriage has been circulating in the local area for many years, and when I was illiterate, I grew up listening to the legend of Du Shi Aunt, and the concept that the ten aunts are a beautiful fairy has been formed in everyone's hearts since she was a child, and no one will associate them elsewhere at all.
What's more, the statue of the ten aunts in the temple is picturesque and delicate, and the image of Du Fu in the hearts of the world is obviously an old man with a sad face, worried about the country and the people, even if someone thinks about it, they will not think about the two together!
And Liang Wenfu's words were like piercing the window paper, and some of the readers present understood it as soon as they heard it, and they immediately began to discuss it. How sacred was Du Fu in their hearts? Now that he had been made into a woman, wouldn't this be a great blasphemy against the poet? And when he thought that he had even gone to ask the false god in the temple for marriage, a feeling of being fooled arose.
The noise of the crowd became louder and louder, and many of those who had planned to enter the temple to offer incense at this time hesitated when they heard them talk about the false gods in the temple, even if they didn't know who Du Shiyi was.
The goddess in the temple found it strange, so she came out to inquire, and after understanding the situation, the goddess frowned, in fact, she didn't know whether the god in the temple was true or false, she only took over the temple for a few years, and sold some incense every day and was in charge of worship. But I thought that this temple of the ten aunts had been standing here for at least a hundred years, how could it be fake?
Seeing that many pilgrims were already hesitant, the goddess thought of hurrying forward to debate with the joke teller in order to maintain the reputation of the temple. But at a glance, although Liang Wenfu and Yu Jiusi were only dressed as ordinary scholars, the temperament revealed in their anticipation was obviously not like ordinary readers.
The goddess immediately felt a headache: Although there is a saying that the truth is not clear, there is also a saying that the more you describe it, the darker it becomes! The scholar just now heard the words of the dozens of people present, and if this matter is stopped as soon as possible, the impact will be easily controlled or even eliminated. And if you have to debate right and wrong, who is your opponent of the scholars? When there are more and more onlookers, and you are dumbfounded in public, won't the reputation of the Tenth Aunt Temple be completely ruined in your own hands?
Even if he finally argues with these two scholars, but after the matter spreads, I am afraid that it will be distorted, not to mention that this Aunt Du Shi is not a true god at all?
The goddess frowned and thought for a while, and finally made up her mind, and walked up to the two with a smile on her face: "The two sons are invited! The old man sees that the two have extraordinary temperaments, they must not be vulgar characters, and the favor of the two masters in the small temple is really a lot of color, but I haven't asked the two high surnames yet?"
The goddess said this, firstly, she wanted to find out where the other party came from, and secondly, she touted the two of them in her words, hoping to make the other party happy, and they might save some face for themselves later.
Before the two of them could answer, there were villagers who knew the two of them next to them, and said directly to the goddess: "Your old woman's vision is not bad, these two in front of you are the two masters of this county, Yu Xie Yuan and Liang Xiaolian!"
Liang Wenfu hurriedly said politely: "It's serious, I don't dare to be called a master!"
When the goddess heard that there were two filial piety in front of her, the smile on her face became brighter and her attitude became more and more humble: "It turned out that it was the two filial piety masters who descended! No wonder the old man saw a purple qi coming from the east early this morning!"
The words are good, but the goddess is glad in her heart that she didn't plan to fight with these two people just now, otherwise, even if she is lucky enough to be able to argue filial piety, people can directly suppress people with power!
Seeing that although this goddess had a smile on her face, she couldn't hide her nervousness in her eyes, Liang Wenfu understood her purpose for looking for herself after thinking about it: she was pointing to the incense in this temple to live, if she really confirmed that Aunt Du Shi was just a false god with false rumors, and no one would come to worship at that time, wouldn't she want to drink the northwest wind?
But Liang Wenfu didn't expect that he questioned and blasphemed the gods like this, and this goddess would even praise herself first! I couldn't help but sigh in my heart: This old woman is also interesting, not like an ordinary shrew, she only knows how to be-for-tat and aggressive, in fact, many times, the reason why things are bad is completely caused by their attitude.
How did he know that this goddess was actually very clear-minded, and when he dared to openly question the gods in the temple, he knew that he was a lord who did not respect ghosts and gods, so he didn't intend to talk nonsense about retribution for dealing with foolish people. And other than that, what else can she do as a goddess?
At this time, Yu Jiusi stood up, pointed to the stone tablet and said to the goddess: "Come and see the ...... engraved on it."
Liang Wenfu hurriedly interrupted Yu Jiusi, pulled him to sit down, smiled at the goddess and asked, "The goddess came to me and the two, what advice do you have?"
Seeing that Liang Xiaolian had a kind attitude, the goddess knew that he had really given himself face, and her attitude became more and more respectful: "Liang Xiaolian's joke is very exciting, and it is really ridiculous to think that the foolish husband and foolish woman in the world are really ridiculous, and he actually attached that poem to a woman, hahaha! It is indeed ridiculous!" She is praising Liang Wenfu again.
The goddess laughed for a while, and then she made a forced smile to hold back her laughter, and said to Liang Wenfu: "It's just that the old body dares to guarantee that this Aunt Du Shi in the small temple must be different from those false ones, and she is indeed the maid next to Nuwa Niangniang, but it just happens to have the same name as that poet." ”
When the surrounding pilgrims listened, many people nodded and softly agreed, and they didn't want the god they believed in since childhood to be fake, so they wanted to take the goddess's explanation seriously. But thinking about it again, it is the two filial piety who question the authenticity of Aunt Du Shi, how cultured is the filial piety master?
Liang Wenfu looked at the pilgrims around him who were entangled in his jokes, and then looked at the goddess in front of him with a respectful attitude and pleading eyes, so he planned to reveal the matter. He actually didn't have any intention of "sweeping away superstition", he just thought it was really funny, and couldn't help but say it, but he didn't expect it to cause a lot of reactions from everyone.
In Liang Wenfu's view, the belief in gods and spirits in China has always been very messy, including famous Qing officials and generals in history, as well as heroic men and women in their hometowns, and later generations often used fictional characters in the Water Margin as door gods, and even worshiped Sun Wukong. In fact, worshipping "Aunt Du Shi" is not much different from those, these things are more of a cultural custom, which is understandable, even if everyone worships a false god, it will not hurt.
Liang Wenfu was about to speak, when a person next to him suddenly said excitedly: "The goddess is right! Our Aunt Du must just have the same name as that poem." The two filial masters must not blaspheme the gods here, Aunt Du Shi is very effective, be careful and will be punished!"
Someone dared to threaten Xiaolian in public! The people around him were immediately in an uproar, Yu Jiusi frowned and was displeased, while Liang Wenfu had already stood up angrily.
Seeing this, the goddess was startled, hurriedly stopped the man, and stepped forward to attack the two filial piety, asking them not to be angry.
Seeing that the anger of the two was slightly suppressed, the goddess hurriedly shouted to the two and the people around her: "Listen to me, everyone! Only the evil god of the obscene shrine who has no patience to fulfill everyone's wish will use intimidation to force others to believe in it. Our Aunt Du is not only powerful, but also kind and loving, her old man wants everyone in the world to be happy! Even if you don't believe Aunt Shi, her old man will not retaliate for this, and she will still bless everyone with a good marriage!"
Hearing the words of the goddess, Liang Wenfu was really impressed by her, but he really didn't expect that there would be such a skilled goddess in this little temple of ten aunts. Although she is so uneducated that she doesn't even know who the poet saint is, this crisis handling method is really superb! I knew that the situation would calm down as soon as possible before it expanded, and her attitude was very good; now she has greatly improved the image of the ten aunts in just three or two sentences!
I admired this goddess very much, so Liang Wenfu stood up and bowed his hand to her, and said with a smile: "What the goddess said is very true, I heard that this Aunt Du Shi's marriage is very effective, and it must just happen to be the same name as what I said." After all, the poet and his old man don't have time to talk about the matchmaker, haha!"
The goddess didn't expect this Liang Xiaolian to be so easy to speak, listening to him say this, she finally let go of the heart she had been carrying, and saw that this filial piety master actually gave her hand, and the goddess was so excited that she returned the salute, and said "you can't deserve it" in her mouth.
And the surrounding pilgrims finally let go of their tangled thoughts. In fact, they don't want to believe that they are worshipping a false god, and they don't want to be broken by a few words from what they have believed in since they were young.
And now there is a strong reason -- Liang Xiaolian agrees with the words of the god mother! Or the same sentence: Can the old man Xiaolian still be wrong?
Looking at everyone's reactions, Liang Wenfu understands their mentality, which is the same as the mentality of those on the Internet who know that they are wrong, and have to talk about it, change their concepts and debate with others for a long time, in fact, they are not trying to persuade others, but they don't want their long-standing beliefs to collapse.
In the end, most of the people present continued to go inside to offer incense, after all, if faith is really broken by a few jokes, is it still called faith? Before, they only hesitated because the doubter was filial piety.
Only some scholars who didn't worship ghosts and gods so much, now they have completely understood that Aunt Du Shi is a false god, and they directly turned around and left with the tribute. However, there are only a dozen of these people, and the goddess finally put her mind at ease, thinking about finding some way to eliminate the impact of this matter as much as possible.
Seeing that the matter had calmed down, Liang Wenfu also pulled up Yu Jiusi and prepared to go back, while the goddess had been respectfully sending the two out of the distance, and she couldn't help but say that Aunt Ten would definitely bless the two filial old men and wives Ruyun, and Hemei......
