Amid the melodious morning bell, Xiao Shizhu and Guimu walked side by side out of Juexiangyuan. The ministers and guards were already waiting at the door. After they came out, they followed the two ghosts and headed towards Yuque in a mighty manner.
Gong Bei strode away.
To this day, Jiuyou Kingdom is not only a big country in the underworld, but also the only ghost country that dares to rebuild the ancient god temple.
The ancient god temple in the underworld was originally abandoned after the Emperor of Fengdu came to power and took charge of the ten continents and six seas of the underworld. The other princes and ghost countries that were established later did not dare to disobey the Emperor of Fengdu and would never dare to rebuild these.
Ancient God Temple.
Even if they all know that the ancient gods' creation made an indelible contribution, creating one world after another and creating one creature after another, no one dared to sacrifice them; the only one who stands in the country is
In the Fengdu Emperor Temple, the princes and ghosts from all over the world could only silently admire the ancient gods in their hearts.
But Xiao Shizhu's Jiuyou Kingdom is an alternative. He was like other ghost countries before, and only worshipped the Emperor of Fengdu. Since the Emperor of Fengdu attacked Shuoyue Island for the first time, Xiao Shizhu ordered it to be pushed to all the middle school of the country.
The Temple of the Emperor of Fengdu.
With a command, the people were in full bloom. The anger that the ghosts had been suppressed for a long time vented towards the stone statues and tablets of the Emperor of Fengdu, like a fierce flood.
But after venting, looking at the ragged statues of the Emperor of Fengdu, which were either lacking hands and feet, or broken heads and faces, the ghosts and the people were satisfied, and they were eager to wait for another spiritual sustenance.
So, Xiao Shizhu took the opportunity to order that temples could be built in various places for sacrifice and worship of ancient gods. For a time, the temples of ancient gods in Jiuyou Kingdom emerged like bamboo shoots after a rain.
The stone statues of ancient gods who once had an enemy of the Emperor of Fengdu appear in the underworld.
The most common ones are Xiao Shizhu's parents Fuxi and Nuwa's temples.
Among these temples of Fuxi and Nuwa, the most spectacular one is naturally the ancient temple north of Yuque City. This ancient temple is located in the city, facing the north gate of Yuque City, and is surrounded by two floors called "Article".
The blue glazed tiles on the wall are low walls. The first wall is square and is called the outer wall; the second wall is round and is called the inner wall, which symbolizes "the sky is round and the place is round".
In the middle of the low wall is a round blue glass stone platform with three layers, each with nine steps on each side. Each layer is surrounded by finely carved white marble railings. The numbers of the railings are
The multiples of nine or nine are seventy-two upper layers that are nine feet tall, one hundred and eight middle layers that are fifteen feet tall, and one hundred and eighty lower layers that are twenty-one feet tall.
Each stone pillar is carved with auspicious cloud patterns that are about to emerge. On the top of the stone pillars, there are ancient god statues of different shapes, which are rigorous and exquisite, magnificent, huge and gorgeous. But they are in harmony with temples in various parts of the Jiuyou Kingdom.
The same is, there is no Fengdu Emperor or any evil gods, all the good gods who have helped humans in the world.
Around the stone platform, there are twenty-eight green needles and green leaves, twisted branches and copper branches, and extremely simple and moist nine-dragon cypresses, which correspond to the twenty-eight constellations in the sky.
In the middle of the upper floor, a wooden arch structure hall with a south-facing account is built. There are eight golden eaves in it with red paint and gold columns carved with dragons, phoenixes and auspicious clouds. Above the beams and pillars, purple gauze made of twisted fabrics, hung on the city.
The hall is full of diamond-shaped partitioned doors and windows made of crystal, blue glazed sill walls, and bricks are sealed on the east and north sides. Under the sunlight, colorful lights are everywhere in the hall. And in the dome dome,
The golden dragon caisson in the middle, the golden dragon ceiling and the golden pillar are covered with golden lotus, and the golden dragon and seal color paintings are also vividly displayed under the seven-color streaming light.
In the main hall, eight burning furnaces burning pine, cypress and smoke surrounded by cigarettes. In the middle of the roof, there are two vivid gold-cast statues of gods carved. The two statues are ten feet tall, and they are all heads.
The snake body is Fuxi and Nuwa. Fuxi, who is not angry but powerful, is on the left, holds the ruler in his left hand. Nuwa is on the right hand, and holds the ruler in his right hand. The two statues are painted with the snake's tails of the sun and the moon at the waist and tail respectively.
Together, the surrounding ground is covered with stars.
Such a magnificent altar and temple hall had a lot of money. But Xiao Shizhu had the ability to build this temple, and he did not collect the wealth and ointment of the people, nor did he use a cent of the national treasury. All the funds came from
Because of his income from selling snow cream.
At this point, the ghosts and officials and soldiers of Jiuyou Kingdom admired him in a state of admiration.
Today, Xiao Shizhu is here to worship his parents.
This made the spontaneous ghost officials in charge of national rituals and the spring official Zong Bo Changqin. They prepared a wealth of sacrifices early and set up seven groups of gods on the lower floor of the temple according to strict rules.
Each group of gods is made of sky-green satin to form a temporary tent, arranged in the direction of the Big Dipper. Around the temple hall on the upper floor, there are multi-sided conical tents, which are no more or less, just about thirty-six.
On the east and west sides of the second layer of the altar are rectangular flags embroidered with sun, moon, stars, clouds, rain, wind and thunder.
In addition, they also had a wide and long prayer case in front of the golden statues of Nuwa and Fuxi in the temple. An eternal lamp was lit on it, and the Zhiyue ambergris and smoke were burned to form a canopy.
The canopy fragrance is also placed on it with a foot long shredded fish, deer intestines fried with deer and steamed dragon brain, etc. There are also jade, silk, whole green rhinestone, whole kirin, whole deer
A large number of underworld fruits and offerings made from Shu and Qingtian kernels, such as Qingtian wine, peaches, sea stones, pomegranates and fairy pears, etc., are as many as 600 pieces of utensils for offerings and various ritual utensils used.
.The burnt calf in the southeast of Shitai and the sky lantern hangs in the southwest of Shitai. In the morning light, there is a misty cloud around the Shitai, and the sky lantern candle shadows shake red, giving people a very mysterious feeling.
There are also Zhonghe Shao music composed of chimes and chimes, as well as many instruments such as chimes, chimes, and chimes, all of which are neatly arranged like sacrifices already placed in the hall.
It looks solemn and spectacular.
The musicians in the palace, composed of pipa ghosts who are proficient in music theory, also came here early under the command of the ghost officials of the sequel palace to wait.
For the sake of piety, Xiao Shizhu and Guimu walked all the way without taking a car to control beasts. After walking for almost an hour, they arrived in front of the temple.
As soon as he walked into the gate, the pipa ghosts who had already been waiting on both sides of the road immediately began to play music.
The rhythm was soothing and the artistic conception was ethereal, and all officials followed Xiao Shizhu, Guimu, and Xiao Fuling slowly walked under the altar together and stopped, and divided into two groups of civil and military personnel and stood under the altar.
Xiao Shizhu's family of three, led by the ritual officer, stepped onto the altar and slowly stepped into the temple on the altar. Changqin had already been waiting in the hall, and waited until Xiao Shizhu and his daughter and his wife stood there.
In front of the statue of his parents, Changqin shouted loudly: "The king brings in the incense and kneels down to worship the gods."
Then, the little boy presented them with a long lit fragrance. The musicians outside the hall also changed the tune at this moment, and the rhythm changed and became strong, and the style was vigorous and bold.
Amid the music, Xiao Shizhu took his daughter and wife to kneel in front of the statue of his parents. After performing three-kneeling and nine-day worship, he handed the lit long incense to the children, and asked the children to insert the incense into the statue of them.
In the incense burner in front.
The officials under the altar also knelt on their spot.
"Dad, mom, my child is busy with state affairs. I'll see you in the long-term future. Please forgive me." The fragrant fragrance with the fragrance of flowers was bright, and the green smoke curled down Xiao Shizhu looked at the two statues in front of him and said slowly: "You
It is a wise god and a proud parents. Although I am very lazy, I don’t want to be a god like you. I just want to live a peaceful and prosperous life. But you hope that I will become a wise lord and wise ruler and bring peace to the underworld.
Peace, I am willing to fulfill your wishes and keep working hard to develop in that direction.”
"I really want you to see, and see, I am now promising, no longer a little devil who causes trouble for you. Now the Jiuyou Kingdom is strong, with elite soldiers and capable ministers as vast as the sea of stars, and the country is also rich in all parts of the country.
, The ghosts can live and work in peace and contentment." At this point, Xiao Shizhu's eyes showed a hint of joy, but there was a little sadness mixed in it. Under his strong appearance, he urgently hoped that his parents were not two cold ones.
sculpture.
"But this year, the more you fight, the harder you fight, the more you fight, the life and death of a child is irrelevant, but your granddaughter is frequently in danger. I hope if you really have spirits in the sky, can you protect your granddaughter a little?" Xiao Shizhu
After calming down, he put away the faint sadness in his eyes, and said to the two statues: "I beg my parents to protect your granddaughter so that she can grow up safely."
Changqin frowned when he heard this. Although he had become accustomed to Xiao Shizhu's casual personality, he was still a sacrifice to his parents. Xiao Shizhu could be said so casually, and in his opinion, it was somewhat unsanctified.
It’s just that Xiao Shizhu is the King of Jiuyou. Even if Changqin feels so, he cannot change Xiao Shizhu’s wishes.
In the temple hall on the high platform, sacrifices are underway. Outside the hall, the ministers stood respectfully under the platform in the morning sun. At this moment, the fungus gods rushed into the temple and headed towards the high place.
The tall altar rushed over.
He ran to the altar platform in anger and was about to climb the stone steps without stopping. When he was heading towards the platform, the guards guarding both sides of the stone steps had already speared in their hands.
He hesitantly blocked his way.
The Jinren Shenji glanced at the head of the long spear that was shining in front of him, and was immediately discouraged. However, he then felt anxious and stomped his feet and said anxiously: "I have something urgent and I have to report to the lord immediately."
"A great thing, I'll talk about it until the sacrifice is over." The ghost soldiers who blocked the way of Shen Ji were not at ease and immediately scolded in a deep voice.
The noise immediately attracted the attention of ministers not far away, and they all looked at this side with curious eyes.
"What's the noise?" The guard's leader came over and glared at the guard who was blocking him with his eyebrows, making the guard dare not make loud noises anymore, then turned to look at the Jinren Shenji, which was revealed.
With a smile on his face, he politely discussed with Shen Ji: "Sir Shen Ji, do you think this is OK? Can you come and report it after the lord's sacrifice is over?"
Sacrifice is also a great thing, and filial piety is the first priority. Xiao Shizhu is sacrificing to his parents, and no one dares to interrupt him at this time.
"I can't wait for the matter in an emergency, so I can't wait." Shen Ji, the old ghost, was also stubborn. He has not stopped yet. He said loudly: "I will carry it myself if something happens. If I want to behead my head, I will chop my god.
The horseman!".
As he finished speaking, he hid his waist and leaped through the gun head that was hanging down in front of him.
"What's the matter?" At this moment, Xiao Shizhu walked out of the hall with Guimu and Xiao Fuling. (To be continued)
