People and their constitution cannot be generalized. say

Just like in the gym, you can't pull the barbell with all your strength, but the cleaning lady next to you can lift it with one hand to clean the floor.

Huang Qitong has a special constitution.

Of course, it is not as exaggerated as the ancient holy body and the innate Tao body.

If we really want to compare, the gap between the single attribute spiritual roots in the mortal stream and the five elements mixed spiritual roots is probably not as high as the heavenly spiritual roots and the earthly spiritual roots.

However, among ordinary people, they are already regarded as spiritual geniuses. Whether they are placed in the government or various sects, they can be cultivated as one of the cores of the future.

You must know that the gap in talent cannot be made up by hard work, and not everyone is like Old Mo Han, who has a small bottle that can change his destiny.

Chen Jingle taught her how to practice because she simply felt that it was a pity that such a talent had been buried, but that was all. Where she would go in the future would all depend on personal opportunities. say

With the comprehensive promotion of the national fitness method, Huang Qitong will most likely be discovered by the authorities because of his outstanding performance in cultivation, and will focus on training.

It can be considered a change of destiny.

At least I don't have to get pricked by white vine thorns anymore.

It would be too heavy for a minor girl to bear the responsibility for the safety of the whole family.

Chen Jingle did not stay too long.

Although Lucheng is large, it was all expanded from small villages or wasteland. There are only 491 villages in total. In addition, not every village here has a Jingzhu temple, so the number of temples is not large.

This is different from Coconut City. say

Although Yecheng is not as well-known as Lucheng, it is the provincial capital and the surrounding population flows into the city. In the process of continuous annexation, it expands its jurisdiction and accommodates more natural villages.

Moreover, Yecheng is more influenced by Chuchuan River and has more Jingzhu temples.

However, due to the high urbanization rate, the number of villages in Yecheng is not actually the largest among the many cities and counties in Qiongdao.

The most is actually PyeongChang.

The smallest one is Changhua, which has only about a hundred villages.

Chen Jinngle plans to advance from the southwest to the northeast of Qiongdao. At this moment, he is in Changhua.

……say

Changhua.

It is considered to be the source of Qiongdao Taoism.

This is because the first batch of immigrants brought Taoist beliefs to Qiongdao during the Han Dynasty. People at that time believed that Changhua Daling was the leader of the Wuzhi Mountains and the origin of Qiongdao, so it was called the sacred mountain.

Then a large stone ten meters high on the mountainside was given the title of God of the Mountain by the people and accepted worship by the people.

Later, he was granted the title by emperors of all dynasties. During the reign of Emperor Guangxu, his title was "King Zhaode Ming". Therefore, today, people often call him "King Ming" or "Master Changhua" or "Master Gangmen".

In Changhua, the most famous person with the most widespread belief is not Guan Sheng, nor Mrs. Xian Tai, nor Mazu Empress, but the incarnation of the great mountains of Changhua, King Junlingming.

Why don't people call the Mountain God directly? say

This is because King Junling is not only the mountain god, but also the sea god.

From the top of Daling Mountain in Changhua, where the Junling Sacred Stone is located, you can overlook the wide estuary of the Changhua River. Therefore, King Junlingming is also worshiped as the God of the Sea by the people, hoping to bless the fishermen with abundant harvests and safety every time they go to sea. Return.

King Junlingming was very famous among the people of Qiongxi. Many fishing ports worshiped him. For more than a hundred miles, in many villages and ports, people directly invited King Junling to build temples to worship him.

Not only Changhua, but also the surrounding seaside cities such as Dongfang, Dan'er, Linji, and even Yecheng have Junling King Temple.

Among them, the largest Junling Mingwang Temple is located in Changcheng Village, Changcheng Township, Changhua.

It is said that the original Junling Mingwang Temple was actually located on the Changhua Ridge. Later, due to a typhoon, the temple was destroyed and the main beam rolled down the foot of the mountain.

People at that time believed that since the main beam fell here, it was God's will and they might as well build a temple here. say

As a result, the temple was destroyed again due to military disaster.

Later, some believers discovered that Zhu Liang had flown to Changcheng Village where he is now, a bit like a flying god. They believed that this was King Junlingming's own choice, so the Temple of King Junlingming was relocated for the third time.

until today.

Today's Junling Mingwang Temple has also been renovated many times.

Standing in front of the temple and looking up, you can clearly see the Changhua Ridge in the distance.

Surrounded by plains, such a single mountain appears to be extremely tall and tall, and it is difficult not to notice it.

……say

Junling Mingwang Temple is actually not that big.

There is a gate in the front, a five-six-cornered sacrificial pavilion in the middle, and a palace in the back, covering an area of ​​about 900 square meters. Normally the incense is fine.

Interestingly, the statue of King Junlingming wears glasses.

This is not to mention the territory of Daxia, even if you look at the whole world, it is quite explosive.

In the eyes of ordinary people, gods and goddesses are extremely serious and solemn existences. Even goddesses are more graceful and do not dare to blaspheme.

But this King Jun Lingming did not take the ordinary path.

Gods and glasses are two completely different things, but they appear together, which really gives people an indescribable sense of wonder. say

Can you imagine the Jade Emperor in Journey to the West wearing glasses?

All I can say is, it’s very interesting!

In fact, Qiongxi has always had the custom of gods wearing glasses, not just King Junlingming.

This custom has been handed down since ancient times, but the specific year cannot be determined.

According to local villagers, in their understanding, the glasses of the gods existed before the founding of the People's Republic of China, and their ancestors have worshiped them this way for generations.

As we all know, glass in ancient times was not as cheap as it is now. Even during the Qing, Kang, and Qian dynasties, it was still a tribute product. It was only in the early Republic of China that it gradually became popular in the homes of wealthy people.

However, high-end glasses like this with white copper beams and tortoiseshell frames were still considered luxury goods at the time. say

In addition, there are strong winds and sand on the seaside, and the desertification along the Qiongxi coast is particularly severe.

I still remember the character Runtu described by Xun Geer. Due to being buffeted by the sea wind all year round, his eyes were "swollen and red all around" like his father's.

So the people of Qiongxi offered glasses to the gods to protect themselves from the wind and sand.

This is a more "higher" sacrifice than offering pig heads, cooked chickens, wine and fruits, and it is more pleasing to the gods, so it is naturally passed down.

Now more than a hundred years have passed, and the statue of a god wearing glasses has become a unique local custom.

Including but not limited to King Jun Lingming, Jiutian Xuannv, Dragon King, Buddha, etc.

The statue of King Junlingming preserved in the temple today was built after reconstruction in the 1990s. It wears a crown, imperial robes, glasses, and sits on a dragon throne. say

It actually looks a bit fashionable.



Chengquan came to Changhua for the first time.

This time I came to attend the wedding of a college classmate.

He is also from Qiongdao, but he is not close. Fortunately, it is very convenient to get there by train.

After attending the wedding, he stayed in Changhua for one more day, planning to simply go shopping.

I didn’t let my classmates accompany me. say

Getting married is hard enough, so why bother bothering me anymore? I just asked the other party to introduce a few delicious shops, and then started my one-day trip to Changhua.

Eat and drink in the city first, and then go to the beach to play in the evening.

Mainly to watch the sunset and take photos.

As an amateur Nikon veteran who likes to take pictures of landscapes, Cheng Quan’s favorite thing is the sunset by the seaside. Even with backlighting, back shots look good, at least making yourself look less ugly in the camera.

While patting, seeing that the sun was about to sink completely into the sea, he began to pack his things and prepare to leave.

At this moment, he suddenly saw a big box floating on the sea...

A suitcase. say
