As we all know, Wuyi is the first hometown of overseas Chinese in Daxia.
It has jurisdiction over three districts and four counties. The government office is located in Jianghai District in the northeast corner, and the other districts are arranged in sequence toward the southwest.
It's a bit like a certain Huijing.
Therefore, the other districts in Wuyi do not have that strong sense of identity with Wuyi. Many times, they often say that they are from Xinning, Gangzhou, and Enzhou, not from Wuyi.
Especially Enzhou, from the perspective of cultural circle, is closer to the western part of Guangnan.
The folk beliefs here in Wuyi Prefecture include, in addition to the Land Lord, Hong Shengye, Guandi, Mazu, Huang Taixian, Medical Spirit Emperor, etc.
One of the more widespread and representative ones is Hong Shengye.
There is even Hongsheng Park named after Lord Hongsheng in Jianghe District in Wuyi.
Lord Hong Sheng is a popular saying. The official name should be King Guangli Hong Sheng, or another more widely known name——
Zhu Rong, God of the South China Sea.
Some people may wonder: "Zhu Rong is obviously the god of fire, how can he be the god of sea?"
Well, you know, our mythological system in Daxia is too huge, and the story of each immortal can be written into a long epic.
Zhu Rong in the ancient mythological period was indeed the God of Fire, and he is still the God of Fire to this day.
However, it is actually very common for gods to wear multiple hats.
Zhu Rong became the Poseidon of the South China Sea after the Sui Dynasty.
In the 14th year of the founding of the Sui Dynasty (594), some ministers suggested that the sea god should be prominent and consider building a temple near the sea to worship the sea god, so as to express the emperor's piety to the sea god.
So Emperor Wen issued an edict to offer sacrifices to the four seas, and the Nanhai Temple in Guangnan was also established in response to the edict. Zhurong, the God of Fire, was also officially honored as the "Poseidon" enshrined in the Nanhai Temple.
After all, the south belongs to fire, and the strongest one is Zhu Rong.
The "Nanhai Temple Stele" written by Han Yu, a great writer in the Tang Dynasty, and written by Chen Jian: The sea is the largest thing in the world, and since the three generations of saints, all saint kings have worshiped it. According to biographies, the god of the South Sea is the most noble, above the three gods of the east, north and west, He Bo, and his name is Zhu Rong.
It is clearly recorded that the Poseidon of the South China Sea is Zhu Rong, not Hong Xi, an official of the Tang Dynasty as claimed by online public accounts.
During the reign of Emperor Renzong of the Song Dynasty, the God of Nanhai was conferred the title of "King Hongsheng", which is also known as "King Hongsheng Guangli of Nanhai".
The title Hong Shengye has been passed down to this day.
Later, the image of the Poseidon of the South China Sea gradually overlapped with the image of the Dragon King of the South China Sea. In some places, the Dragon King temple also worshiped the Poseidon of the South China Sea.
According to research, before the founding of the People's Republic of China, there were more than 500 Hongsheng Temples and Dawang Temples in the delta area, while there were only more than 300 Mazu Temples. The popularity of the incense of the Poseidon in the South China Sea was shocking.
It's a pity that the glory is gone.
Now Hongsheng Temple in many places has been abandoned and demolished.
Daxia has seven thousand years of history, and every era has its own heroic legends. The remnants of the old era often cannot find a ship that can carry them in the new era, so they are gradually submerged in the long river of history.
…
The largest Hongsheng Temple in Wuyi area is located in Chaolian Town, Fengjiang, on the bank of Xijiang River.
If we talk about incense, it is actually not very strong.
The most popular places these days are usually Buddhist temples and Guanyin temples. Taoist temples are relatively deserted, not to mention small folk temples. It would be nice if someone came to worship on the first, fifteenth day of the lunar month and the birthday of the god.
Fortunately, the Hongsheng Temple in front of us seems to be well maintained. Although it is not grand, it is at least clean and tidy, and the steps in front of the door are swept spotlessly.
Chen Jingle just walked around and didn't burn any incense.
Not far from Hongsheng Temple, there is an inconspicuous low shed. Inside is a Taishan stone stele and a row of deities in distress placed at the corner of the wall.
The so-called distressed gods are statues of gods that have been abandoned by people. They appear subjectively or passively on the roadside, or drift along the river.
There are many gods worshiped in villages, which are actually gods of distress.
For example, in a certain year, villagers were washing clothes by the river and saw a statue of a god floating down the river. They quickly carried it home and worshiped it. After a hundred years, it became the protector of the village.
Or maybe a certain god from a certain village flew over on his own, and the villagers couldn't throw it away, so they had no choice but to enshrine it.
These are gods in distress.
But not all troubled gods are so lucky to be enshrined again. Those who are unlucky can only be buried in the soil and no one will know.
Moreover, many people would stay away from the God of Disaster.
Because the true spirit is no longer there, no one can guarantee whether there is anything else inhabiting this body, so sacrifices must be made with caution.
I don’t know who picked up so many distressed gods and put them here. There are twenty or thirty of them, including Guanyin, Maitreya, Guandi, and other unknown gods.
Chen Jingle secretly shook his head: "People's hearts are not ancient."
At this moment, I suddenly saw something floating upstream of the Xijiang River——
A simple painted pottery statue of an earth god.
However, what is miraculous is that the statue of the god is floating upright on the river, and even swirling with the current.
Chen Jingle was stunned.
"When did ceramic become less dense than water?!"
And it’s still standing upright!
Hiss~
Strange! How weird!
If something goes wrong, there must be a monster. He subconsciously is vigilant, but he does not notice the existence of other forces in his perception.
At this moment, the statue sank suddenly.
Chen Jingle hesitated for two seconds and used his magic power to fish it out, only to find that the statue did not float up, but continued to sink to the bottom of the Xijiang River.
"Um?!"
Chen Jingle was slightly startled, and his mind subconsciously looked down.
The next second, his consciousness touched a layer of forbidden barrier and was bounced back.
"This is……?"
Chen Jingle was stunned.
There is actually a layer of restrictions deeper under the Xijiang River? This is obviously not something that earthly forces can create.
When he came to his senses, he went to look for the statue again, only to find that it was missing.
Is it the legendary fate?
Or was there some force in the dark that deliberately led him to discover this place?
"interesting."
After Chen Jingle frowned, he suddenly became interested, and then he flashed and appeared outside the barrier at the bottom of the river.
Since I have the magical power to avoid water, I'm not worried.
After careful observation, he roughly understood: "This restriction is quite difficult."
The person who arranged this restriction must be quite famous in the world of human cultivation.
Fortunately, in the process of occupying the Realm Master Temple in Duanzhou Mansion, the system rewarded him with the magical power of forming formations. In terms of forming formations, it was not a problem for him.
[Array formation: various barriers, formations, and restrictions. 】
It is not difficult to break the barrier in front of you.
If it were done before, it would probably take a lot of effort.
…
"Finally in!"
Five minutes later, Chen Jingle finally found the key to the forbidden layer outside and easily got in.
Inside the barrier is a stone door with "Nanhai" and "Xijiang" written in astronomical seals on both sides of the door.
Chen Jingle was slightly startled, but without saying anything, he carefully pushed open the stone door.
It's safe behind the door.
What comes into view is an extremely tall and wide stone chamber with a very simple style, at least five meters high and more than twenty meters long and wide.
There is a stone table and two stone chairs in the middle.
On the top of the stone chamber, an ancient oil lamp is suspended. It seems ordinary, but it illuminates the stone house brightly.
No need to think about it, it must be a magic weapon, and it is of high quality. I don’t know how many years have passed, but it still has such magic power.
In the corner of the stone room, there are several large boxes, which are a bit like the ones that often appear in movies and TV series to hold silver coins. They are at least hundreds of years ago. How can anyone still use such things now?
But what's more eye-catching is that there is a stone door on the other side of the stone room.
"Is there room behind the door?"
Chen Jingle reached out with his spiritual will, but was blocked by the stone door.
Tsk~!
…
First, open the box in front of you. It is filled with ancient silver ingots.
"The silversmith, Wu Xiaolin, spent fifty taels of silver in the sixth year of Yongle reign."
"Anyi County, five hundred taels of silver, silversmith Yang Zhao."
"..."
They are all made in 50 taels, twenty pieces per box, and there are five boxes in it.
Hiss~
Get rich!
And what surprised Chen Jingle the most was that the names of the emperors of the Ming Dynasty were engraved on the silver ingots.
"Could it be said that the owner of this stone chamber is a practitioner from the Ming Dynasty?"
Yongle year is more than 600 years ago. If he hadn't died, he would have been an Earthly Immortal-level existence at least.
There must be more than this in the stone room. It can even be said that these silver coins are the least valuable. After all, no cultivator would care about such worldly things.
But today, the silver ingots from the Ming Dynasty are all antiques and are in extremely good condition. There are many buyers who like this kind of things.
Chen Jinngle put it away without politeness, and then looked at the stone door.
The restrictions on the door were much more difficult than those on the outside, but fortunately they still couldn't trouble him.
Who told him to have system plug-ins?
This time it took ten minutes to pass through the restriction again and come to the back of the second stone door.
"this……"
Chen Jingle was stunned.
Because behind the stone door is a stone room the same size as before, and there is a stone door opposite!
Tsk~!
If it weren't for the different shape of the oil lamp above and the different things in the stone room, he even doubted whether he was spinning around in circles.
…
This time, there were wooden shelves on the left and right sides of the stone room.
Each wooden frame is divided into three layers, with three items on each layer. All of them are covered by prohibitions, with varying degrees of difficulty.
There are elixirs and elixirs on one side, and magic weapons and materials on the other.
This is obviously much more valuable than the silver just now.
However, things are not that easy to get. The difficulty of every restriction is no less than the Shimen just now.
If ordinary people were lucky enough to get in, they would probably have to spend a long time in this level.
Unfortunately, it was Chen Jingle who came in.
After mastering the trick of breaking the ban, it is almost easy.
The first is the wooden frame on the elixir side.
The quality of the elixir was better than he imagined. Even a land god like Jin Dan could use the bottle of Zhengyang elixir in his hand.
Another bottle of Shenglong Dan helps break through to the realm of refining gods and returning to the void, which is commonly known as the Nascent Soul realm.
Such an elixir would definitely be regarded as a treasure in the current world of cultivation, enough to make the various sects fight to the death.
Although Chen Jinngle had similar effects on hand, he was quite surprised to be able to harvest a different elixir, which was equivalent to learning a new elixir recipe.
There are also two bottles of healing holy medicine, Baicao Resurrection Pill and Shengsheng Good Fortune Pill.
The rest are elixirs, all of which are more than five hundred years old, such as Seven-leaf Fierce Sun Grass, Ice Spirit Hibiscus Dew, Fire Origin Fruit...
They are all rare things!
It is protected by prohibitions and stored in a jade box, so the medicinal properties have not been lost too much.
Chen Jingle accepted it unceremoniously, and then looked at the magic weapons on the other side.
…
There are only three magic weapons, all on the top level.
The other six items are materials.
On the left side of the top layer is a double-sword magic weapon.
"The two spiritual dragon swords were made by Sazu in the past when he killed an evil dragon and refined its horns. They are all blue and the swords come out like water from a spiritual dragon."
"What a magic weapon!"
Chen Jingle's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but admire.
It is actually the work of Master Sa Tian!
The quality of this magic weapon is far superior to the King Wu's Divine Spear he is currently using. It seems that he can change the weapon.
After releasing the restraint, the two swords let out a soft groan, and the spiritual light flashed, and he actually wanted to escape.
Chen Jingle grabbed him back without any courtesy and punched the sword: "Be honest!"
The two swords suddenly died down.
And then the second one:
"Blue Water Green Dragon, a bracelet made from dragon tendons, in the shape of a dragon ring. Wearing it can greatly improve the ability to control water spells."
Another good thing!
After getting it, Chen Jingle put it directly on his wrist, but felt it was too conspicuous, so he simply cast a spell to hide it.
The third item is a talisman that exudes a dangerous aura.
(Probably, I slept during the day, so I’m not very sleepy.)
