The name Sanxian Temple is very common.
There are temples named Sanxian Temple in many places, but the specific three immortals worshiped are different.
Some are dedicated to the three stars of fortune, wealth and longevity, some are dedicated to the Sanxiao Empress, some are dedicated to the Lice Mother Immortal, Hua Tuo and Li Bai, some are dedicated to crabs, snakes and toads...
There are many Sanxian temples here in Panzhou.
It is also called Xiangu Temple, Liu Xian Temple, Liu Zixian Aunt Temple.
It is said that there are three immortals, but in fact there is only one god worshiped. The locals call it Liu Zixiangu, or the three immortals and the three saints.
The largest Sanxian Temple is located in Sanxianling, Gongtang Village, Gongli Town, Panzhou. It was built and listed only three years ago. It is the largest Taoist temple in the entire Panzhou area.
However, most of the villagers are unclear about the origin of Liu Zixiangu.
"I worship her like this every year. My grandfather started worshiping the Three Immortals when he was still alive."
"You ask me? I don't know. Who would care about this?"
"If you ask Mrs. Xian Tai of Huaguang Guan Gong, I can tell you this, but Liu Xiangu doesn't know. How about you ask the elders in the village?"
Occasionally, one or two people who know some information will say, "Aunt Liu Zixian, she is a fairy sent by the Jade Emperor to the Kingdom of Fragrances to manage the flowers."
Chen Jingle was noncommittal, feeling that it was probably far-fetched.
"Is it so easy to obtain the Heavenly Court Organization?"
However, this Gongli Town did give him a subtle feeling, which was a little different from other places.
This successfully aroused Chen Jingle's curiosity.
…
Gongli Town is named after Gongyuan.
It is said that "a concubine riding in the world of mortals laughs, and no one knows that it is lychees coming." Gao Lishi searched all over Panzhou and finally found the tribute garden dedicated to tribute lychees to Concubine Yang.
Gongyuan is open to the public.
Chen Jingle snuck into a certain tour group and followed them around.
The tour guide said: "When we look around now, what we can see are many ancient lychee trees. Among them, there are 39 trees that are over 500 years old. For example, the white sugar poppy tree next to us is called 'Tiannu Scattering Flowers', although it may not look very tall, is actually over 500 years old.
There are 9 ancient trees that are more than a thousand years old. For example, the 'Family Happiness' tree on our right is also called 'Five Generations Under One Roof'. It is the oldest tree in the Gongyuan Garden and is over 1,380 years old.
Also over 1,300 years old are the 'Jinfeng Mother Tree', 'Twenty-four Dan', 'Heping Li', 'Bieyou Cave', 'Cowherd and Weaver Girl' and 'Keep the Roots'.
Especially this 'Keep the Roots' tree.
It is said that hundreds of years ago, the owner of this tree and his wife had been wandering for many years. They were nearly fifty years old and had not had children. They were tired, so they returned to their hometown to live. There is an old lychee tree in their lychee garden. Half of it has dried up, and the middle of the bottom trunk is empty.
One day, the man wanted to cut down the old lychee tree and plant new seedlings. When I was about to cut it down, I found that there was a root growing under the upper trunk. I was very surprised, so I couldn't bear to start. Unexpectedly, after a while, his wife, who had been unable to get pregnant, became pregnant and gave birth to a child successfully.
When the male owner saw the lychee tree again, he found that the roots had grown stronger and the branches and leaves began to become lush. Recalling that I left this tree behind, it seemed to be a secret arrangement. Keeping the roots of the tree also kept my own "roots".
Later, after people spread the word, they called this tree "Keeping the Roots." People who pass by here always like to touch it in order to have more children and more happiness. "
As soon as the tour guide finished talking, many tourists actually went up to touch it, and most of them were elderly aunts wearing silk scarves.
Chen Jingle smacked his lips secretly. The old tree sprouted new buds. It seemed that the uncles and gentlemen were going to have to work hard again.
However, it is indeed rare to have so many thousand-year-old trees here.
For example, Chuanchuan Prefecture is such a huge city, but there is not even a thousand-year-old tree.
There are only a handful of them that are over 500 years old.
"It's a thousand years old tree, why haven't you seen the birth consciousness and cultivated into a tree spirit?"
Chen Jingle muttered secretly.
Most trees have an upper age limit. The lychee tree is a rare tree species that can live for thousands of years. It is a pity that it has not been able to give birth to independent consciousness.
"If it takes more than five hundred years to become a spirit, then this garden will be full of tree spirits, how interesting it will be."
He has seen a lot of weird things, but he has never seen a ghost yet.
…
After visiting Gongyuan Garden,
Chen Jingle decided to look elsewhere.
As a result, Liu Zixiangu Temple in Sanxianling welcomed a special guest.
Next to the Xiangu Temple, there is a stone tablet named "Sanxianling Praise", which records some relevant information: "The Purple Immortal left his mark on Moyang Baisha, the immortal class god used high roots to call the blessed land, and the stick of incense fell on the Three Immortals. On the ridge..."
This is about the origin of Liu Zixiangu.
The stele is newly engraved, but the inscription is not. Maybe it was there when the temple was first built, or maybe it was written by later generations when it was rebuilt. The age is too old to be studied.
Then there is the title of the gods——
"The Blessed Lord gave Liu Zixian Aunt the gift."
Seeing this title, Chen Jinngle roughly understood what kind of person the so-called Immortal Liu Zixian was.
Panzhou is most famous for its lychees.
Wherever lychees are grown in Gongli Town, people worship Liu Xian.
Blessed Lord, lychee cultivation has gradually made the people of Panzhou richer, which can be said to be a blessing.
Maybe it’s the lychee tree that enters Taoism?
Otherwise, it is related to vegetation.
Chen Jingle finally knew where the subtle feeling in his heart that was different from other places came from.
"There is actually a ray of divine consciousness hidden in the statue of Liu Zixiangu Temple?!"
Chen Jingle was surprised.
Another existence from the old era!
But then he was disappointed, because it was just a ray of consciousness, not even a remnant soul, and it had not awakened, and was still sleeping.
Unlike Weiwei, this one is more like a mountain god, and a relatively high-level mountain god.
Chen Jinngle deliberately restrained his aura and did not alarm the other party.
"Are you trying to revive yourself with incense?"
Chen Jingle secretly muttered: "It's getting more and more interesting."
First, weird things appeared frequently, and things from the old era appeared one after another. Now, even the remaining consciousness of the gods from the old era came out. Will the true god appear later?
I just don’t know how the other party escaped the so-called catastrophe and survived.
After all, even the other more powerful gods have completely disappeared, but some weak mountain gods have survived to this day.
Unfortunately, the other party only had a glimmer of consciousness left.
Not to mention restoring peak strength, even waking up is not an easy task. Otherwise, you can ask her what happened in the catastrophe back then.
Chen Jingle had no intention of extinguishing this ray of consciousness in Aunt Liu Zixian.
The avenue is fifty, Tianyan is forty-nine.
Since the other party can survive, there is a predestined relationship. As long as it doesn't harm the people, there's no need to pay any attention to it.
If he really wakes up one day, Chen Jingle would not mind re-consecrating the other party as the Mountain God as the City God.
…
but,
When he looked at Fushan Ridge opposite Sanxian Ridge, his eyes narrowed again and his face showed a strange expression.
With a flash of his body, he will appear high in the sky, overlooking his feet.
"This Sanxian Ridge belongs to the branch of Fushan Ridge, and the two complement each other. With a slight modification, the Qi veins are connected, and they actually become a simple natural formation."
Chen Jingle smacked his chin.
There is a temple to Mrs. Xian on the top of Fushan Ridge, just across from the Xiangu Temple on Sanxian Ridge.
He didn't believe it when he said there was no contact.
Although he is not good at formations and formations, as a realm master, he knows the earth veins very well, and he clearly feels the close connection between the two mountains.
As for Gongli Town, which is located between two mountains, it is protected by this natural formation, and it can be regarded as a place with outstanding people.
Mrs. Xian will definitely no longer exist in this world, and what Aunt Liu Zixian did is not considered excessive and offensive.
After all, Sanxianling is just a small hill.
Maybe this blessed mountain god was consecrated by Mrs. Xian Tai.
But he was a little curious: "Who initiated the construction of Liu Zixiangu Temple?"
This kind of handwriting is more or less true.
So I went to ask the Miao Zhu of Xiangu Temple.
…
Xiangu Temple has temple blessings, and there are quite a few of them, and there are people on duty every day.
Chen Jingle pretended to be a reporter who came to interview, but was not discovered by the other party.
The Taoist priest on duty introduced enthusiastically: "The Sanxian Temple in Sanxianling was first built in the Longqing period of the Ming Dynasty and renovated in the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty. It was slightly damaged during the war years and was rebuilt again in 1990. In 2017, it was established by the local Sanxian Temple Council. President Zhu Zhi took the lead in the reconstruction, and faithful men and women actively donated funds to rebuild the golden body of the fairy..."
"There is also the Sanxian Temple Council?" Chen Jingle was surprised.
Lin Daochang said with a smile: "Of course, Liu Sanxiangu has widespread belief in the Gaoliang area and has many believers. There are Sanxian temples not only in Panzhou, but also in Shilong, Baidian, Gaoliang, Douzhou and other places."
Chen Jingle thought for a moment: "Where can I find President Zhu? I want to talk to him."
Taoist priest Lin gave Zhu Zhi's contact information very simply.
In fact, the local Sanxian Temple Council is managed by the Zhu clan in Gongli Town, and Chairman Zhu naturally lives in Gongli Town.
…
Chen Jinngle met Zhu Zhi at a small farm in the town.
The other party was very polite.
The identity of a reporter is still somewhat useful these days.
When Chen Jingle asked the other party why he thought of rebuilding the Sanxian Temple, Zhu Zhi hesitated.
"Mr. Zhu, is it inconvenient for you to say something?"
Zhu Zhi waved his hands repeatedly: "It's not inconvenient, I just want to ask, reporter Chen, do you believe in ghosts and gods?"
Chen Jingle smiled lightly and said: "I personally think that if you believe it, you will have it; if you don't believe it, you will have nothing."
Zhu Zhi said mysteriously: "Then what if I said that rebuilding the Sanxian Temple was told to me by Aunt Liu Zixian in a dream?"
"In a dream?"
Chen Jingle pretended to be surprised.
Zhu Zhi clapped his hands and said, "Yes, it was Aunt Liu Zixian who told me in a dream that the old temple was in disrepair and she hoped to help build a new temple so that people around could come to worship. Then I went to find the deputy director of the County Taoist Association. The president is also Mr. Zhu Yong, a relative of our Zhu clan, but he is a Shigu Zhu clan.
As soon as he heard my intention, he agreed to help take the lead. After contacting the government departments and inviting entrepreneurs from Gongli Town and village elders to discuss matters, it took more than two months to finalize the matter. Then it took more than half a year to build the temple, and it was finally completed.
On the night after the opening ceremony, the lychee tree in front of my house bloomed. Do you think it’s magical? That was late January. In previous years, it only bloomed in early March. "
In front of Chen Jingle, Zhu Zhi seemed to be meeting an old friend for many years, pouring out everything.
However, his words also confirmed Chen Jingle's thoughts. There is a high probability that Fairy Liu Zixian is really a lychee tree.
"Tsk, that's interesting."
Chen Jingle finally understood what was going on.
After saying goodbye to Zhu Yong, he returned to Liu Zixiangu Temple in Sanxian Ridge, leaving a trace of his mark without disturbing the ray of consciousness.
Once the other party wakes up, he will feel it.
After doing all this, Chen Jingle headed to his next destination.
