Chapter 195: Hongbo lost the old country(2/3)
Breaking the waves and intercepting the undercurrents, no matter how rough the waves are around, this canoe is always as graceful as a swimming dragon, surviving every desperate situation, carrying an unbreakable vitality.
Not only that, on the bow of the dragon boat with the old dragon head carved on it, the villagers could see an angry young man standing, gnashing his teeth and shouting behind him. His passionate voice seemed to be cheering, but his words were incomprehensible.
Difficult to understand.
"Back then, Mr. Dao and I were able to cross the Twin Seas in a small broken boat, and fight all the way from Lu Gaoyin to the Kurast Seaport. His grandma, I don't believe I can reach the Nanhai Ancient Temple today!"
I saw Jiang Wen and his entourage arrive at Zhangqiugang Village. They actually used an old dragon to cross the Tao Mountain and the raging sea to reach the ancient Nanhai Temple that turned into an isolated island in the ocean. The people on the boat couldn't help but cheer.
Jiang Wen was still holding the bow of the ship steady to control the direction. He thought about how a mortal's power could compare with the power of heaven and earth. Even with Jiang Wen's great martial arts, he could not ride the waves directly to the end, so he could only use his internal power to circulate endlessly, turning it into
The inexhaustible power of paddling forward, and at the same time leading carefully ahead with excellent eyesight.
I don’t know if it was bad luck along the way, or there was a rule in the world that women were not allowed to get on boats. They had to go through almost all kinds of difficulties to get out of Shenzhupu, and then they plunged into another sea storm, threatening them.
They were wandering around. When the rain was at its strongest, Jiang Wen and his party had to allocate half of their manpower to scooping water out of the dragon boat in order to avoid a sinking accident. The pain was so painful that those who heard it were saddened and those who saw it shed tears.
But the more bumpy the journey became, the angrier Jiang Wen became. It wasn't until he brought a boatload of old, weak, women and children to the shore that he angrily took out a red-faced black wooden statue from the boat and said to the dumbfounded villagers on the shore: "
Who was so unethical just now and actually threw things up there!"
…………
After tying up the old dragon and entering the ancient temple, Jiang Wen and his party were almost in a state of exhaustion. Even if they wanted to get up and suppress the dragon ghosts, they were unable to do so. Fortunately, the villagers in Zhangqiugang Village were not so pedantic that they froze and starved themselves.
The side hall was demolished and used as firewood to boil water, so that Jiang Wen and his party could drink hot water and make a fire to warm themselves up - but judging from the only wood left in the house, useful things are becoming increasingly scarce now.
.
There were many casualties along the way. Xiao Shitou and Fu Ningdie took care of Hong Wending, whose eyes were injured. Yuan Ziyi also guarded Yan Yongchun uneasily. Lei Huhu and the old housekeeper were shivering from the cold because they had no time to prepare.
Lips turn blue.
Jiang Wen's internal energy was repeatedly exhausted and recovered this time, but at least he was still stronger than the others. At this time, he squeezed out the last bit of the Nine Sun Magic Skill, stood up and wanted to help everyone get rid of the coldness on their bodies, but saw
Luo Shuang'er stood up in unison, wearing one long and one short Hanwang green sword on her waist, and suddenly walked towards Hongsheng Temple.
Jiang Wen caught up immediately after finishing his work.
"Heroes, where are you going? Nowadays, the tides outside are turbulent and dangerous. The hundred thousand troops in the late Song Dynasty were defeated and overthrown. Our ancestors saw this with our own eyes. Don't be impulsive!"
The old village chief saw with his own eyes the courage of the other party, Tun Tian, and was worried that the other party would forcefully go to sea, so he hurriedly followed him.
But as soon as they entered the main hall, they found that they were moving in the same place. It was the ancient stone wall with dragons and phoenixes behind the statue in the main hall. The two people, one big and one small, looked deep in thought.
Hearing the footsteps approaching, Jiang Wen raised his hand first to show that he should be calm. Luo Shuang'er told him that he was still a little unsure and needed to find some help according to Luo Yuantong's plan.
"This is clearly a storm surge that met an astronomical tide. It's okay, my husband. Let me ask you something, who taught you the method of using the statue to suppress the sea just now?" Jiang Wen said quickly in order to cover Luo Shuang'er.
"Hey, if we didn't have to do it, we wouldn't offend King Hong Sheng like this..."
The old village chief wrenched the water from his clothes and said helplessly: "It's just a method passed down by the old people in the village. It's the same everywhere. I heard that there are some places where whenever there's a severe drought and rain can't come, the Dragon King is killed."
Like being burned in a fire."
But Jiang Wen's expression was a little strange. He stared at the empty pedestal behind King Hong Sheng and said suddenly.
"It's not that simple. At least your use of town objects to control floods is completely different from other places. I'm afraid this method has been passed down for thousands of years."
If this ancient Nanhai temple was built to suppress the dragon ghosts, then why this temple was built and who built it is a very important question. Jiang Wen looked at this magnificent ancient temple and recalled the story about "
"King Hong Sheng" is the most widely circulated legend.
Legend has it that "Hong Sheng", whose real name was Hong Xi, was the governor of Guangli in the Tang Dynasty. He was honest and honest, and advocated studying astronomy, geography, and mathematics. He built an observatory to observe the weather, and fishermen and merchants relied on it. Later, he died young due to hard work and became a scholar.
People cherished him and told the emperor about his achievements, so he was posthumously named "King Guangli Hongsheng", and a Hongsheng temple was built near the South China Sea to worship him.
From this point of view, this ancient Nanhai temple should have been born in the Tang Dynasty, but the history of this governor named "Hong Xi" is unknown, and his origin is unclear. He became a god just because of his intelligence and integrity, which is even more difficult to explain.
Why was it granted so many titles from the Tang Dynasty to the Ming and Qing Dynasties? It was so graceful and honorable.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Luo Yuantong told Jiang Wen that Hong Sheng actually originated from Zhu Rong. People on the South China Sea initially thought that Zhu Rong was in charge of maritime affairs. This god is responsible for water, fire, and Xia.
Sinanyue, Sinanhai, and South China Sea fishermen worshiped them as gods. This belief gradually spread inland, and the emperor also paid respect to them.
The earliest recorded foundation of the Nanhai ancient temple was in the 14th year of Emperor Wen's founding in the Sui Dynasty (594).
The most extensive temple construction, Luo Yuantong speculated that the Tang people took this opportunity to build temples to suppress the ghosts.
On the night when the Black Emperor wreaked havoc in Zhangqiugang Village, Jiang Wen had found a broken stele in the village. In fact, Luo Yuantong had also found it first. The one in the Luo family's hands not only had the ancient place name of Fuxu written on it, but also
The title of the person who erected the monument remains - Jin Ziguanglu, doctor, Hanyang prefect Feng.
There are countless people with the surname Feng since ancient times, but in the land of Lingnan, the important ministers with the surname Feng will remind people of Feng An, the general in the southeast of the Changzhen in the Sui and Tang dynasties. This makes Jiang Wen and Luo Yuantong's thoughts change.
Conspiring together.
You know, if Shang Kexi is still planning to conquer Tiannan forever, then Feng An, who is a descendant of Northern Yan, is his predecessor a thousand years ago. Feng An, the Duke of Yue, was active in the Sui and Tang dynasties. If
It was he who advocated the establishment of the Nanhai Ancient Temple, and it was very likely that he received Yang Jian's edict. He also had a better chance of relying on the Feng family's power deeply rooted in Lingnan to make this god be granted many titles during the Tang Dynasty and its incense continued.
"I want to dig it up and have a look. There should be something buried under this mural."
Luo Shuang'er suddenly said something incoherently, then squatted down and started digging into the soft soil underground with her bare hands.
I don’t know why, probably since the Feng Shui situation was broken, the soil under King Hong Sheng’s feet has been exuding dense water vapor, causing the plastic murals to begin to peel off, mold and moss, and the soil to become extremely moist and soft.
It doesn't look like a piece of land on top of a hill at all.
The old village chief didn't know whether he should stop them or not, so he simply stood aside and allowed the two of them to mess around.
Jiang Wen leaned next to Luo Shuang'er, looked at her extremely serious face, and whispered: "Miss Luo, did you discover something? Will it help you suppress the Jiao ghost?"
Luo Shuang'er stopped and was silent for a moment, then tilted her head and said, "I don't know, but I feel something is down there."
Jiang Wen frowned and said, "Are you so sure there is something buried underneath?"
Luo Shuang'er nodded with certainty: "My father told me that the people of the Tang Dynasty must have used something as a counterweight to stabilize the eyes of the sea, and then suppressed the dragon ghosts. The ancient temple in Nanhai still stands tall and strong because of this.
s things."
Jiang Wen looked at Luo Shuang'er more curiously, only to find that the girl's face was unusually cold, a little pale due to being soaked in cold water, and she looked like a puppet without the emotions and desires of ordinary people.
"Speaking of which, are the town objects really useful? Isn't that Molong Monument ineffective?"
Jiang Wen still asked about the doubts in his heart.
Town objects can be as large as city pagodas or as small as stone nails. As the name suggests, they are objects to suppress evil. In order to gain inner peace, the ancients often used scriptures, spiritual animals, tooth horns, peach trees, etc. as town objects in their lives.
It also reflects the psychological suggestion of seeking good fortune and avoiding harm.
Therefore, even though Jiang Wen had used stones engraved with the true shape of Wuyi to suppress the Jieju under the Wuyi Mountains, he still did not understand the principles, and it was even more difficult to imagine that this could be a universally applicable thing.
, can be used to deal with the underwater creatures.
Luo Shuang'er glanced at Jiang Wen lightly, but her digging movements did not slow down at all. She broke through the soil layer in a few clicks and pulled out a lot of mud-like things from underneath.
"Only gold overcomes wood, dragons hide, and earthy water turtles and snakes descend. This is because the five elements are mutually reinforcing each other. Since ancient times, iron rhinoceros and copper oxen have been used to control water. Not to mention that talisman swords are often used to deal with hanging ghosts and zombies in the house. Don't you believe this, Master Jiang?"
?”
Jiang Wen scratched his head and said helplessly: "It's not a matter of belief or not, but this thing is afraid of deviations in probability and cannot be foolproof. For example, Miss Luo, you have come here with a heavy responsibility on your shoulders, so you can't make a mistake...
…”
As he was talking ramblingly, he found that Luo Shuang'er's digging movement suddenly stopped, and she was stretching her arms hard to pull something heavy out of the foundation pit, but she was unable to use her strength because of her petite stature.
"Miss Luo, let me do it."
Jiang Wen took the initiative and then stretched out his arms to stir in the scalp-numbing mud. It was not difficult but extremely muddy. He felt a chill that penetrated his heart with his tentacles, and his scalp began to feel numb, as if he had been touched by his fingers.
What you found was not ordinary soil, but the fishy and sticky saliva of some kind of terrifying creature.
Soon, Jiang Wen's fingers touched something dense to the touch. It felt like jade was gentle and gentle when his fingernails scratched it. But when he touched it again, he felt that the surface was bumpy and bumpy, not the softness and gentleness of jade.
The shape of this thing was a bit strange. After repeated confirmations, Jiang Wen finally found the correct location. With a strong effort, he finally pulled out an extremely thick silicified bone from the bottom of the mud pit.
"What... exactly is this bone?"
Jiang Wen was extremely surprised. One bone was as long as one of Jiang Wen's legs. He had never seen anyone with such thick bones, but judging from the shape and characteristics, it was clearly derived from human bones!
He kept digging out bones from the mud pit, and they were scattered on the ground. The old village chief was so frightened that he thought they were dead people from different dynasties and generations who had been dug out. But as they slowly pieced the pieces together, they discovered that they were bones.
A humanoid skeleton with only the lower body, no clothes or hair. But even if only half of it is left at this time, it is still two meters tall. The weird joints are even thicker, and it already exudes a jade-like texture inside and out.
The luster is like a treasure polished by thousands of years.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Luo Shuang'er didn't bother to wash her hands, just stared at the huge and astonishing corpse, and slowly said: "Dad guessed that Feng Ang suppressed the white ape's corpse in the South China Sea.
Under the ancient temple, I didn't expect that the legend turned out to be true..."
Luo Shuang'er told Jiang Wen that Luo Yuantong had been investigating the builder of the ancient temple in Nanhai over the years and had obtained many clues, and these clues all pointed to Feng An, the Duke of Yue during the Sui and Tang Dynasties.
Today, Shang Kexi thinks very highly of himself, but his foundation in Lingnan is still shallow. Even after ten years of hard work, he has not been able to fully grasp the secrets contained in this Guangzhou mansion. Although Feng An's ancestors were Hu people who came south
, but Feng An's father, Feng Bao, the governor of Gaoliang, married Mrs. Xian Yingxian early.
As the princess of Gaoliang, Mrs. Xian was also the leader of the Li people (a branch of the Zhuang ancestors). Her family had been the leader of the South Vietnamese Li people from the Qin and Han Dynasties to the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and led the South Vietnamese Li tribe. Mrs. Xian in the Liang Dynasty
, he became hereditary chief at a young age.
Luo Yuantong has been guessing that this place was built by Feng An, and the reason for building the temple must be the in-depth knowledge of Jiao ghosts among the Lingnan slang people. Relying on a certain opportunity to meet, they can disturb the three rivers and cause trouble in the sea.
The dragon ghosts have been suppressed for thousands of years!
