“During the Northern and Southern Song Dynasties, the Northern Territory was devastated by war for many years, and the people lost their homes. The people had no hope and no desire to live.
There will be no end to chaos in China, but there will also be no end to those who want to bring peace to the people and save the world.
While the masses lost their direction and faith, three major sects emerged in the North.
The Three Great Dao sects are far ahead of Hanyi, and closely follow the previous generation. They have a large number of living people. They not only make the people of the Central Plains (Daxiantian) have aspirations, but also make the Jin Kingdom (Wanyan clan), who is rising later, continue to accept Chinese culture.
After the passage of time, each of the three major sects has undergone changes.
The Xiao family of Weizhou is a member of the Taiyi Sect among the Three Great Dao Sects. It's just that this tribe has always stayed in the Great Immortal Heaven and has become the dominant force of the human family in the Great Immortal Heaven.
According to my speculation, the Xiao family should have a strong person in the Yin and Yang realm.
When you go to Weizhou this time, you need to have more contact with the Xiao family. They can inherit from the era when the two Song Dynasties changed to today, and there will be things you need stored in them. "
Gu Yucheng's heart rippled slightly as he read the news sent by Official Qin.
The scope of the Great Immortal Heaven is extremely large, spanning both the demon kingdom and the human race.
Gu Yucheng is in the human race at the moment.
To be precise, he returned to Renhuang Province. ——It’s just that this place is called Weizhou, which is outside the sphere of influence of Renhuang Province.
It is said that he returned to Renhuang Province because in the impression of the human monks, Weizhou was just an area under the rule of Renhuang Province. Weizhou Xiao did not deny it either.
But if it's true, Weizhou is not under the jurisdiction of Renhuang Province. At least Gu Yucheng didn't hear much about the Xiao family in Weizhou when he was in Renhuang Province. No one seemed to care.
Thinking about it, Mrs. Xiao didn't want to be in the limelight, so there was nothing wrong with giving her name to Renhuang Province. ——As for the benefits, don’t even think about it.
I came to Weizhou to find the devil and make a statement.
Before entering Weizhou, he encountered the New Year's Day. Also called Spring Festival.
As the number of monks increases and their cultivation level rises along with their longevity, most sects do not hold annual festivals every year, and fewer monks participate in the New Year Festival. People are more interested in practicing cultivation that brings rewards, rather than the festive season.
It's different in Weizhou. Due to the customs here, casual cultivators spontaneously hold the Spring Festival every year, and the Xiao family in Weizhou personally holds an annual celebration every ten years.
Xiao was on duty this year. Although Weizhou welcomed snow half a month ago, the sky was quiet and the ground was freezing, but he couldn't bear the enthusiasm of casual cultivators. The snow was ankle-deep and had to be cleared away in half a day.
Among the crowd, Gu Yucheng could only hear cheers from all directions, and then a shout of joy rang out: "All things are based on heaven, and humans are based on ancestors. Praying for good luck and offering sacrifices is to repay the origin and return to the beginning!" - The Han family's etiquette can be admired, singing and dancing. The clothes and appearance are all those of summer. During the Chinese Xiaoxiao gathering, the lamps are like warm springs!"
Before the sound fell, cultivators cheered in all the streets and alleys, lighting up lanterns and gathering in all directions to welcome the Aoshan lanterns. @·No mistake first release~~
"Spring Festival Lantern Festival?" Looking at the scene in front of him where the sky is still dark and the flowers and leaves are still clear, Gu Yucheng just sighed that it was too early and the arrangement was too early.
He turned around and plunged into the crowd, using Gan Yuan to feel the traces of Xuan Sheng everywhere.
After searching for traces for a long time, I only got dizzy. When I looked at the sky and the earth again, it was already night.
The warm lights on all sides are like spring springs, and the city is filled with light at a glance. The streets, alleys and buildings are colorful.
The city is full of joy and bustle. It is the happiest day of the year.
A beautiful woman is walking beside her, with black hair and a rhinoceros hairpin, cherry lips and pink makeup, a jade bird tied lightly on her waist, and a golden garment woven with willow bones.
Accompanying him is a man with a jade face, who is not wild in character or unrefined in writing. He is indeed a gentle and gentle gentleman.
Gu Yucheng turned around and looked at himself. How could he be in harmony with the lantern festival in his clothes for traveling?
With a wry smile, he discovered the largest ancestral temple next to him.
The so-called ancestral temple is not dedicated to Xiao Baozhen, the ancestor of the Xiao family, but to the two emperors of Yan and Huang.
"Respecting the ancestors and the people has roots, and knowing the virtues of the ancestral line is manifest."
Looking at the words on the lanterns outside the ancestral temple, Gu Yucheng's heart moved slightly, and he wanted to go in and take a look.
Follow the crowd and enter the temple.
Gu Yucheng saw the monks offering incense and received an elixir from the Xiao family monks who presided over and maintained the order of the temple fair. Although they were no longer members of the Taoist sect, the Xiao family monks still wore Taoist uniforms and were very easy to recognize.
What he received was a whole box of fourth-grade elixirs, which was more valuable than the spiritual jade donated by most casual cultivators who offered incense.
Thinking of the scene of the two sects and one knight and the loose cultivators demarcating the rule, and then looking at the scene of the Xiao family and the loose cultivators celebrating the festival together, I wonder why the Xiao family of Weizhou has been able to stand for several dynasties.
If the generation fails, Gu Yucheng already has some guesses in his mind.
What's more, based on the conversations among the crowd, Gu Yucheng learned that whenever the Xiao family held a New Year's Day, they would give free guidance to the monks to practice for nearly ten months.
Following the crowd, Gu Yucheng followed the crowd to burn incense in front of the clay statues of Emperors Yan and Huang. ——This ancestral temple is also novel. In such a large temple, there are only two clay statues in front of you.
The rest of the space is filled with books.
Gu Yucheng had the urge to read all kinds of books since he read scriptures in Kuxian Palace. He probably knew the situation of Demon Kingdom and tasted the benefits.
When I came to a room, I casually opened a thin book.
"Everyone boasts about the prominence of their ancestors. If they are Liu Bang's great-great-grandson, they will often talk about it after drinking. But why are the ancestors so prominent? Why have they been famous for many generations? Is it because they have good ancestors? Or is it because the princes, generals and ministers are born with talents?
no. Princes in heaven and earth can change, and dynasties can also change. The feudal states of Zhou and the great unification of Qin are like the sound of croaking in an empty valley, with a slight lingering sound, but in fact most of them have changed and will never be the same.
Only virtue, virtue, and merit are unchangeable in heaven and earth.
Virtue in action, wisdom in thinking, achievement in success.
If a person relies on the reputation of his ancestors in vain, it is better to carry forward the virtues and talents of his ancestors. "Gu Yucheng whispered softly and sighed again and again.
"The Xiao family of Weizhou attaches great importance to ancestral inheritance. They believe that only virtue can continue in the world of life. If the virtues of the descendants are outstanding, the virtues of the ancestors will remain. If one's own virtue is outstanding, the descendants will have roots. If the virtues of the ancestors are not forgotten, then the virtues of the ancestors will last forever. Therefore. Pay special attention to inheritance.
The temple was built to honor the two emperors of Yan and Huang. First, it made Weizhou monks never forget their ancestors. Second, it praised and passed on the virtues left by Yan and Huang as ancestors of China. "A young man stood next to Gu Yucheng and talked eloquently, "Oh. correct! Each room has only one style of these books, and the contents are very easy to understand, so that all casual cultivators can understand them and be allowed to take them home to read. "
Gu Yucheng glanced at the golden awl on the young man's waist and said expressionlessly, "Did the Murong family or the Tan family send you here?"
The young man shook his head, "It's just that the old man wants to meet Mr. Gu."
Gu Yucheng frowned lightly, "Old governor?"
"My surname is Tan, and my taboo is Lin." The young man answered the question loudly.
Gu Yucheng suddenly remembered that the previous governor of Jurangdao was Tan Chulin of Zhishanmen? !
Gu Yucheng thought for a while, nodded and said, "Let's go."
The young man was slightly surprised, "Mr. Gu, aren't you curious about the reason why my master is looking for you?"
Gu Yucheng chuckled, "Tan Chulin is more familiar with the customs of Weizhou than me. I used ancient spiritual power to sense everywhere, but I didn't notice any trace of Xuan Sheng. I guess it fell into the hands of Chief Tan."
The young man did not answer or deny, but turned around and led the way. @·No mistake first release~~
Leaving the ancestral temple from the exit, looking at the long queue, the young man smiled, "Everyone who comes to this ancestral temple comes to seek blessings. How can a dignified monk actually seek immortality and worship Buddha?"
Gu Yuchengmiao said: "Any worship and belief should be dedicated to the strong. As for what is strong, those who are strong are strong, and those who adhere to benevolence and righteousness are also strong. - From a more realistic perspective, people always have to rely on the supernatural "Strength" to achieve one's own ends."
The young man was thoughtful, nodded slightly, and led Gu Yucheng away from the ancestral temple. .
