Urban area, Dijiao Port.
Chen Jingle discovered that in addition to beliefs such as Huaguang, Guandi, and Guanyin, which are similar to those in Orange County, Zhucheng people also believe in various sea gods and water gods.
This is similar to the Delta.
Among them, Mazu, Mrs. Xian Tai and Dragon Mother are the most popular. These three are folk goddesses.
The locals call her San Po.
However, most ordinary people don't actually know who the god they worship is. They only know that it is called Sanpo. One person alone is called San Po, and the three together are also called San Po.
There is just one thing that is different from the beliefs of other seaside towns. In Dijiao Port, they do not believe in the various water gods that are common in Guangdong and Guangxi.
There is a Dawang Temple here, and the main worshiper is Yang Jian, the Erlang God!
In fact, Erlang Shen is really the God of Water.
After all, the Taoist temple irrigates the mouth of the river, and there are legends such as controlling floods, capturing dragons, and killing dragons.
Most of the gods who believe in three eyes in Guangdong and Guangxi are Emperor Huaguang, Wang Lingguan in Taoist temples, Lei Bu Tianzun, Lei Shougong, etc.
Erlang Zhenjun's belief is actually very small.
Although this great god has a great reputation, he is mainly distributed in places such as central Sichuan and the West Sea, and is relatively rare in the south.
Chen Jingle came here because the Dawang Temple in front of him was not simple.
In this temple, there is a trace of the divine thoughts of the gods from the old era.
With Chen Jingle's current strength, this abnormality was discovered immediately.
Unfortunately, like the mountain gods and secular gods I met before, they all fell into a deep sleep.
The Dawang Temple is dedicated to Erlang Zhenjun, accompanied by the King of the Golden Palace, the Dragon King of the Four Seas, and Mrs. Zheng.
Then why is it called Dawang Temple?
Because the original worshiper of this temple was the King of the Golden Palace.
[The King of Jindian, whose real name is Xie Xu, was a person in the late Song Dynasty. He hated the death of the Song Dynasty and died for his country. He threw himself into Tiao River in Xiaxi Bay. At that time, the water was surging, more than ten feet high, and it looked like it was angry. People at that time were very surprised. According to historical records, "Loyalty and indignation are not satisfied, ambitions are not fulfilled, and corpses actually swim upstream." In later generations, during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Cao Canal was worshiped as a god.
There are many Dawang temples at all river docks in Daxia, and the river god worshiped is called Dawang. According to northern legend, the king especially liked to listen to operas, so wherever there was a temple to the king, a theater was often built to perform operas for the king on time. If you ask the king what god he is, most people will answer: It is a small long worm that can control wind and waves in rivers. Whenever you sail on a boat, you will always be careful about insects and worship them. 】
In other words, this Erlang God is actually a foreign god.
A foreign god occupies the original main god position.
interesting.
[Mrs. Zheng, the old woman who brought the statue of Erlang Zhenjun back to the Dawang Temple in Dijiao Port was regarded as his wife after her death and was put into the Dawang Temple for sacrifice. 】
After seeing the previous introduction to the Dawang Temple, Chen Jingle knew that Erlang God was the God in trouble.
The origin of the God of Distress has been introduced before, so I won’t go into details here.
As for how this troubled god came to be, the system also explained it clearly.
It turns out that the statue of Erlang was originally worshiped by Yintanxia Village. Piracy was rampant in those days, and a group of pirates planned to go out to sea to plunder. They heard that the gods in the village temple were very efficacious, so they went to pray to the gods.
As a result, he threw the cup and disagreed three times.
The pirate leader was very unhappy, so he simply moved the statue to his ship, thinking that this would allow the gods to bless him. As a result, not long after setting sail, the ship hit a rock and sank, and a group of pirates basically died. And the statue floated along the waves to Dijiao Port.
At that time, the old woman Zheng was catching crabs on the beach and saw the statue, but she was indifferent. As a result, the idol stayed with her.
Mrs. Zheng said, "Do you want me to take you back to offer you as an offering? Yes, you can help me catch another horseshoe crab. If we make enough for a pair, I will carry you back."
Then a horseshoe crab actually appeared in front of her.
Mrs. Zheng also fulfilled her promise and carried the Erlang statue back with her, and it has been enshrined in the Dawang Temple ever since.
…
"Unfortunately, this Erlangshen is not the real Erlangshen."
Chen Jingle shook his head.
It was probably some small mountain god or river god who, by chance, stole the statue and used Erlang God's incense to regain his strength.
This kind of behavior is quite bad.
It would be fine if it was the statue of your own deity, but it happened to be stolen. If it were someone else, such as an upright statue like Master Sa Tian, you would be completely shaken out of your mind in minutes.
Chen Jinngle also saw that this broken spiritual thought did have the aura of a mountain god, so he did not act harshly.
If someone is like She Lang before, who has never been granted the title of Righteous God, but wants to replace him, and engages in all kinds of messy and stupid behaviors, it would be a pity to destroy him casually.
Chen Jingle still admires the big brother Qingyuan Miaodao Zhenjun. Maybe it was because he was ignorant at the time and watched "Life Grows and Hates Water Changdong" three times.
So I thought about it and said, "I'll give you another place to live. You can vacate the statue of Erlang God. This is not your house."
Regardless of whether the other party agrees or not, in the Dawang Temple, another statue of the golden-armored god with a blurred face was made using magic power, and this broken divine thought was put into it.
The house built by the Lord of the City himself is very respectable.
By the way, I would like to put a mark in the Dawang Temple to see if, in time, this remnant of the old era can take advantage of the opportunity of the new era to revive.
After doing all this, Chen Jingle slipped away.
There are only 4,012 Jingzhu temples in Zhucheng, and nearly 3,000 of them are in Hefu. It is not worth spending too much time in the city.
…
Chen Jinngle probably didn't expect that his small move would cause the entire Dijiao Port and even most of Pearl City to boil.
The reason was that a fisherman came to worship every day and found that there was an extra statue in the Dawang Temple.
Suddenly he was stunned: "What's going on? Who put it here?"
The fishermen living here are very familiar with the Dawang Temple. It is impossible not to know how many statues there are.
Suddenly, an extra statue appeared, which was extremely conspicuous.
However, although the face of this new statue is blurred, it feels like it has a unique charm, which is more pleasing to the eye and more attractive than the statues next to it.
"Could it be that the gods have manifested themselves?"
The fisherman was surprised.
People who live by the sea have great faith in gods. The sea is not as good as land. When a wave comes, even the boat and people may be gone.
I didn't know what to do for a while.
When he came back to his senses, he did not dare to neglect and quickly informed the village chief.
After the village chief came to see it, he didn't know what to say, so he could only ask the Taoist priest.
Then……
When the Taoist priest came to the temple and took a look, he immediately knelt down with a pop.
He swore by the true spirits of all the ancestors that this was definitely Shen Yun spirituality, but he didn't know why the vitality was so dark.
Could it be that something unexpected happened?
No matter what, this is definitely a true god! No matter which faction he is placed in, he will only be offered a share!
The story spread quickly, and everyone was surprised and came to watch. The story spread more and more widely, and became more and more outrageous.
Everyone said that the Jijiao Dawang Temple had a spiritual appearance.
For a time, there was an endless stream of people coming to worship, and the incense was extremely strong.
"Bodhisattvas, please wish me a lot of harvest this time I go to sea and a safe return!"
"My dear Bodhisattvas, Wang Er's family is here today to pay their respects. I also ask all Bodhisattvas to drink with their heads held high and their heads bowed to bless..."
"..."
Even Huang Jingwu and others from the Zhucheng Civil Affairs Bureau came to see it.
With their ability to perceive beyond ordinary people, they can naturally see the changes in this temple compared to before, and the statue of the god is even more conspicuous.
"It should be that person's handiwork."
I just don’t know why, but the majestic City God actually made a statue here himself.
The face of this statue is blurry, and its history cannot be discerned.
A group of people murmured for a long time, and finally told the village chief to pay attention to this small temple and don't let anyone steal it.
As for the rest, I can’t care about it, so just leave it alone.
When Chen Jingle learned about it, he couldn't help but laugh: "I just said, how can a small temple suddenly contribute so much incense? That's it."
At this time, he had occupied the main temple in Quanzhu City and received the first state capital city god award in Guangzhou.
It's a pity that the territory of Zhucheng is too small.
But Anzhou next to it is much bigger.
The negative impact caused by the two books "The Style Does Not Shake" and "There Are Tall Buildings in the Northwest" has already begun. When I woke up, I found that 147 had been blocked and seven or eight chapters had been revised. A new round of strict censorship of online articles is coming. irritable.
