The scenic spot mentioned by the tour guide is a grassland with several shallow ditches winding through it. There is a huge stone erected on the grass, with three big red characters carved on it: Stone of Sacrifice to Heaven.
"If you want to talk about legendary stories, this is one. Legend has it that this was once a place on the banks of the Luo River. In the early years of the Tang Dynasty, Luo City once suffered a severe drought. Suddenly one day, someone saw a divine light falling from the sky here, so The ruler held a huge ceremony here on the banks of the Luo River to pray for heavy rain."
"After the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony, Luo City, which had been in drought for almost half a year, suddenly received heavy rain. The heavy rain continued for ten days and ten nights. The dry Luo River was filled with water, and the drought in Luo City was resolved. Later, the ruler was here Set up a stone to worship the sky, of course what you see now is not the stone that was erected during the Tang Dynasty."
Li Mo glanced at the brown bear, but he didn't expect that this was the place where the heaven-sacrifice ceremony was held.
"Tour guide, what is that divine light?"
"There are several folk theories about that divine light. The first theory is that there was a mountain nearby. The bright moon hung in the sky at night, and the moonlight shone on the earth. It may have been a natural phenomenon caused by the refraction of light caused by the light shining on the mountain. You also know In feudal society, some abnormal phenomena were said to be related to gods."
"The second theory is that there was a severe drought in Luocheng at that time, people were in dire straits, and many people left their homes. The rulers also wanted to appease people's hearts, so they spread the myth of divine light from the sky. In fact, it was a deception from beginning to end."
"There is also a theory that there is some treasure such as a huge jade in the Luo River. The moonlight shines in the dry Luo River and shines on the jade, so reflected light appears. Many people think this statement is relatively reliable. It’s a pity that the real reason can no longer be investigated, so everyone can just listen to it as a story.”
"I think the third statement is the least reliable."
Li Mo smiled and said at this time.
"Handsome guy, why do you say that?"
"Everyone knows that natural gemstones like jade cannot be found just anywhere. Generally, jade can only be mined in places with jade mines. There are no jade mines in Luocheng, and the kind of transportation in the early Tang Dynasty In an inconvenient social environment, who would travel thousands of miles to transport jade from other places to the banks of the Luo River and then put it into the Luo River?"
"What the young man said makes sense. If there really is jade, no matter who comes across it, they will secretly take it home and hide it. They will report it to the official and make it known to everyone."
"Hahaha, it's a story after all. Just listen to it for fun." The tour guide smiled and didn't argue with Li Mo. Then he waved the little red flag in his hand and said, "Let's go to the next attraction."
They left, and Li Mo did not follow them. Instead, he walked slowly around the wetland with great interest.
"Boss, this story is quite consistent with what is recorded in the Luocheng County Chronicle."
Brown Bear was walking next to Li Mo with his bag on his back. He opened a bottle of mineral water and handed it to him.
"Sometimes it's not what you think. Maybe when developing this wetland park, in order to build some so-called scenic spots of special significance, the county records may also be referred to."
The brown bear didn't understand, and Li Mo didn't continue to explain. Not far in front of them, there was an elderly aunt holding a small red flag, wearing a hat, and a loudspeaker hanging around her neck. There were four young men and women beside her. The aunt was saying the same thing as she walked. legendary story.
One of the men, about thirty years old, suddenly asked: "There is a large lake in this wetland park. Is it possible that during the Tang Dynasty, that lake was connected to the Luo River here?"
The aunt gave him a thumbs up and said: "You are right. According to some folk history records, the Luo River leads to the mountain in the distance, and that mountain is the end of the Luo River. There have been many droughts in the Luo River. , there have also been many floods. The terrain here is flat and is surrounded by very rare fertile farmland. It is okay in a peaceful year, but once there is a flood, thousands of acres of nearby fertile farmland will be submerged."
"There are other records in unofficial history. It is said that a long time ago, its history can be traced back to before the Sui and Tang Dynasties. It is said that there was a flood here and there were countless casualties. So someone dropped a magic weapon to suppress the flood here to calm the flood."
"Of course, this unofficial myth is also said to be because there have been several floods here, so the dam was rebuilt under our feet and the Luo River was intercepted from here. This can prevent thousands of acres of flooding from flooding again. Good farmland.”
When Li Mo came closer, he happened to hear this wild history, and his eyes flashed. There is a safety railing around the grassland wetland, prohibiting tourists from entering without permission. He stood in front of the railing. The strange boy opened his eyes and had a panoramic view of a hundred meters in radius. His clairvoyant gaze extended downward through the soil.
Suddenly, a divine light rose from the darkness. The divine light was colorful and radiant. Before Li Mo had time to concentrate on checking what kind of ancient object the divine light was, he suddenly heard a roar of filial piety in his ears. The roar of filial piety was like thunder on the ground, causing a burst of pain in his head.
An indescribable phantom of a giant dragon hovered in the sky. Under the sky, in the divine light, he saw countless figures kneeling on the ground, muttering prayers. He couldn't understand it. Those languages seemed to be the language of heaven, the language of God.
In front of the countless figures stood a strong and muscular man. He raised his hands to the sky and uttered a string of bitter and difficult words in his mouth.
In front of the man was a high platform with a cauldron placed on it, and various sacrifices were placed around the cauldron.
The sound of prayers became louder and louder, and Li Mo's forehead was covered with sweat. Before he withdrew his clairvoyant gaze, he saw a tripod lying quietly more than 20 meters underground.
"Boss, what's wrong with you?"
Li Mo felt a sense of exhaustion all over his body. He slowly collapsed to the ground, panting heavily.
The brown bear was frightened when he saw that Li Mo was pale, sweating profusely, and in very poor condition. He quickly took out a pack of tissues from his bag and wiped the sweat on his head.
"It's okay, I suddenly felt a little flustered." Li Mo took a few sips of mineral water, closed his eyes, and the illusion just appeared in his mind.
It couldn't calm down for a long time.
He had seen illusions on the Nine Dragons Sword, the White Rainbow Sword and the Qianlong Royal Da Yue Sword. He did not expect to see the illusion again here, but the illusion was neither something he could peek at nor something he could bear.
It was the ancient ancestors and their leaders who were holding a ceremony to worship heaven, praying for God's blessing and peace for the country and the people.
"Divine light."
Li Mo murmured that he saw a tripod. Although it was impossible to confirm that the tripod was one of the Kyushu tripods, judging from the illusion seen, the three-legged tripod was also an unprecedented artifact for worshiping the heavens.
'Tianzi Jialiu' seems so insignificant in front of it.
