48, ebony town evil, the finishing touch

Yiqiong said he wanted to go to a crowded place to leave a mark on his tribe.

Zhang Zhixiang was not familiar with Yingtian Mansion, so she could only ask Wang Jiangque, and her answer was - Chenghuang Temple.

The City God Temple has existed since ancient times, but it developed to its peak in the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Yuanzhang divided the City God Temple into four levels: capital, prefecture, prefecture, and county, which was equivalent to the local government offices, forming two sets of yin and yang yamen.

If it were said that before the Ming Dynasty, there would be monsters in the mountains and wild monsters and lonely ghosts frequently commit crimes.

Then it would completely disappear when it arrived in the Ming Dynasty. The city gods in various places were chosen by the local people themselves. The criteria for selection were loyal and martyrs who died for their country, or famous historical officials and generals.

He is a true "heroic spirit" and a righteous god enfeoffed by the court.

As the saying goes, the power of the gods is granted by the king. In China, the human emperor has always been superior to the gods.

The norms of the underworld system are beneficial to the people. The Chenghuang Temple’s warding off evil spirits and shocking evil spirits, regardless of whether it is effective or not, at least the people will feel at ease when they look at the Chenghuang Temple.

There is at least a sustenance in the soul.

Yingtianfu City God Temple is next to Jiming Temple, so every temple fair, this area will be very lively. The City God Temple Fair is on the 19th of each month, while the Jiming Temple Fair is on the 5th of each month.

Yingtiancheng had a well-developed waterway. He took a small boat from Guiyuan and headed north along the Hebei region. After about half an hour of sailing, he arrived at the Chenghuang Temple.

It happened to be a temple fair, and it was very lively.

In addition to burning incense and worshiping Buddha, the temple fair also has various stalls, snacks, drinks, toys, and jewelry. There are also opera troupes singing big shows on the stage, such as "The Legend of the Pipa", "The Legend of the Chaichair", "The Legend of the White Rabbit", etc.

Even Zhang Zhixiang was quite shocked when he saw this excitement.

People's smiles from the bottom of their hearts and the love for life impressed him very deeply. This was something that he had never had in many festivals when he lived in his previous life.

Even during the Spring Festival, this lively and vibrant atmosphere has long disappeared.

"Look there, look there, what a mighty Master Guan Sheng!!"

Yu Shui pulled Zhang Zhixiang excitedly and pointed at the crowds of people over there and said, "Zhang Zhixiang is not tall enough and can't see anything." Yin Qiao there was quite professional. She took out a folded ladder from the box behind her, and Wang Jiangque stepped on it lightly, perfectly seeing the excitement.

Wow~ Are you prepared to visit the temple fair so well?

Zhang Zhixiang missed Dafeng a little. He sat on Dafeng's shoulder, what could not be seen?

"Hehe, I'll do it."

Hearing Yiqiong's voice, Zhang Zhixiang felt something was wrong, and then he lost weight. He was thrown high. Yiqiong grabbed his chest with his backhand and lifted him up like this.

This girl is about 1.7 meters tall, and her arms are more than two meters tall when she raises her body. Zhang Zhixiang can see the excitement clearly.

But this is too...

"Let me down!"

"Hehe, don't be shy, how about it? Have you seen it clearly?"

"Yiqiong!!"

"Hey, there's nothing you can do with you. Hello, aren't you standing on horse stance? It's time to test your skills. I don't mind being stepped on by you, but don't fall."

Yiqiong threw Zhang Zhixiang up, grabbed his ankle, and threw him on his shoulder.

Zhang Zhixiang was in a hurry, but at least Yiqiong used his ankles to help him adjust his balance. After he calmed down, he gradually stood firm. He couldn't help but be amazed that Yiqiong's martial arts were quite strong...

Standing on Yiqiong's shoulder, Zhang Zhixiang successfully saw the excitement. In the middle of the crowd was a wooden carving of Guan Erye who had seen him, and his majesty was almost overwhelming.

"So handsome..."

He subconsciously sighed, but Wang Jiangque, who was beside him, curled his lips and said, "You are still a Taoist priest."

"ah?"

Zhang Zhixiang was confused and didn't understand what was going on. Wang Jiangque pointed to the statue and said, "This is ebony, like peach wood, it has the effect of suppressing evil."

"This statue of the True Lord, holding the Green Dragon Crane Moon Sword, wearing armor, stepping on the Blue Dragon, and opening his eyes."

"What do you think is worth suppressing such a true lord?"

Guan Yu's folk worship began to flourish in the Song and Yuan dynasties. An important node was that Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty granted Guan Yu the imperial title of: the general of the Qitian Guardian and the general of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the

Abbreviation: Qitian protects the country.

At the moment when "Journey to the West" has not yet been published, I don't know if the title of "The Great Sage of the Monkey King" originated from Guan Erye. It was not until the 42nd year of Wanli that Guan Erye had the title of "The Emperor of Demon Subduing the Three Realms of Demons Weiyuan Zhen Tianzun Guan Sheng Emperor".

Although it was not until the 42nd year of Wanli that it was officially sage.

But folk customs are definitely preferred. During the Jiajing period, Guan Yu had already been called the Emperor of Demon Subduing Demons among the people, and people had a special liking for Guan Erye’s suppression of evil spirits.

There is no doubt that the Guan Sheng statue in the City God Temple is now at the highest specification.

"Since ancient times, there is a saying that the City God Temple is so lively today. I am afraid that it is not to give this True Lord's image a finishing touch. This evil-controlled image is so high that it is probably second only to the Heavenly Master statue that is dedicated to the finishing touch."

"The more majestic the statue, the more terrifying the things behind it."

"Be careful, there may be a demon of the same level we encountered in Lion Head Town here."

Zhang Zhixiang took a deep breath when he heard this, but before he could think about it, the movements of gongs and drums in front approached. The crowd separated and the old man who was singing something came to Zhang Zhixiang and raised the cinnabar and pen in his hand.

It was actually to let Zhang Zhixiang give the finishing touch.

There are twelve Taoist rituals for consecration, which are usually carried out by Master Gao Gong. Zhang Zhixiang has never done this before, and he does not understand why Temple Zhu let him, a tourist.

Not only Zhang Zhixiang was confused, but other tourists were also confused.

Although there is a saying to give a boy a finishing touch, this Guan Sheng statue is probably inappropriate?

"This is the little Tianshi Master of Longhu Mountain. In addition to the old Tianshi Master, the one who is most qualified to consecrate the sutras of the Taishang Da Cave, is this little Tianshi Master."

As soon as Master Temple said this, everyone convinced him.

Zhang Zhixiang didn't know how Temple Zhu recognized him, but at the urging of everyone, he hesitated and picked up the pen. Before finishing the mark, he couldn't help asking: "What is this true master statue trying to suppress?"

For a moment, the temple fair became much quieter.

Even Master Zhu of the Temple was a little silent. Zhang Zhixiang looked at him in confusion and found that there was a group of high-ranking officials gathering in the location where the instruments were made there...

The most conspicuous ones are the garrison of Nanjing, Duke of Wei, and Xu Pengju.
