V13.chapter 10

This is an ancient temple made of stone. The construction style is very simple and unadorned, which makes people feel uncertain for a time.

"I don't know much about ancient architecture, but this stone temple seems to have been built in the Sui and Tang Dynasties." Yuecen was pushed by Kexun to the gate of the temple. The light of the sun penetrated into the temple. There was a stone altar inside, but the position of the statue was empty.

It's really strange that the ancient temple is covered by trees. Ke Xun is going to take a look at it alone, but he hears Yue Cen say, "let's go in and have a look." There seemed to be no fear in the voice.

It is no wonder that Yue Cen was selected as a painter at the beginning of the painting promotion. He is really a rare talent for painting.

There is no real gate to the temple, only a stone tablet with fuzzy handwriting stands not far from the gate. Even if two people go in together, there should be no danger. In other words, even if there is any danger when Ke Xun enters alone, Yue Cen in a wheelchair can't help.

It is better to go together than to look forward to the future.

The temple is very shady, the sun shines through the dark, there are countless lights and dust dancing in the light.

There is a stone platform behind the altar used for sacrifice, which should obviously be the place for worshipping gods, but it is not known who this God is.

Yue Cen was holding the wheel of a wheelchair and observing around the temple. At this time, his eyes stayed on the stone platforms on both sides of the sacred platform.

Kexun also noticed the stone platforms on both sides: "the stone platforms in the center are used to worship gods. What are the stone platforms on both sides used for?"

"It should also be used to worship the gods." Yue Cen said.

Kexun only went to temples when he was a child. He recalled carefully that some temples were indeed decorated like this: "that is to say, this temple worships more than one immortal?"

"I think there are at least five, even seven." Yue Cen guessed according to the size of the stone platform.

"But why are these gods vacant? Where have the gods gone Ke Xun thought that he had done a lot of paintings, and had seen ghosts such as the paper man in Lijia village, the ghost of qiuzilou and the ghost of Xiangshan Institute, but he seldom dealt with the gods.

"That's what happened in the temple. Let's go out and talk about it." Yuecen turned around in his wheelchair and planned to leave the temple first.

Ke Xun followed him and pushed Yue Cen out of the temple door. When he spoke in the temple just now, there was a lot of echo, as if his words had been repeated by someone else. It was disturbing.

Outside is still familiar with the natural scenery, two people temporarily stop in the temple next to a big tree.

"Xiao Ke, have you ever met an immortal in your previous paintings?" Yue Cen asked.

"Once upon a time, it was a god of good and evil. When we painted, we finally saw the good face of that God." What Kexun said was the black corpse sky in faith.

After listening to Ke Xun's brief talk about the painting "faith", Yue Cen felt that it was not similar to the world in which they were currently living: "we found this place because of the moss, but the stone platform in the temple and the stone steps under the eaves were very dry, and no trace of moss was found."

Kexun tried to figure out a way of thinking: "when we first came, we saw a shadow play" mouse married girl ". At that time, your legs were not very comfortable. After dawn, we found that the legs were petrified and moss was born. In order to find the source of moss, we came here all the way and found the temple. The temple is empty, and the granary we saw just now is empty. The granary is empty because all the food in it has been eaten up by rats; the temple is empty, why, where have the gods gone? Is there any connection between these immortals and the "mouse marrying a daughter"

Yue Cen had been listening to Ke Xun's words carefully, but there was not enough evidence in his heart.

At this time, he heard Ke Xun say, "sacrifice rats? Didn't you just say that "mice marry their daughters" is actually a folk activity of worshipping rats? The sacrifice of rats should also be a kind of sacrifice, right? Is it true that what is worshipped here is... "

Rat?

This statement made both of them uncomfortable.

Yue Cen said: "although I didn't think about the reasons, I still have a certain understanding of the traditional Chinese New Year customs. I have never heard of this kind of sacrificial ceremony, which is not in line with the tradition."

Kexun also thought that his statement was a little absurd. If the painting was good at absurdity, it would be reasonable, but it was based on traditional New Year pictures, so we should focus on the traditional Chinese New Year customs.

"Sister Cen, let's go and have a look at the big stone tablet. Although the handwriting is fuzzy, it can still see some strokes Ke Xun pushed Yue Cen to the gate of the temple again.

The stone tablet is very high, almost blocking the gate of the temple. Because of its long history, there are many deep cracks on the stone tablet, and many words on it are illegible.

Through the arrangement of the words, we can see that the poem above seems to be a four character poem.

"It's a four character poem." Yue Cen carefully identified, can see that the last sentence seems to have a "salty" word.

"Four character poem, what's the meaning of this kind of poem?" Kexun also recognized the character "Yi". Although the font is complex, it can be said that it is the most complete character on the whole stone tablet."Four character poetry is the earliest poetry genre in ancient China. The book of songs is mainly composed of four characters, which can be seen in ancient ballads and the book of changes." Yue Cen's eyes swept over every word on the stone tablet, but it was certain that there were only four or five words.

"Wei", "Ding", "Zunyi", "Ling", "Xian".

The most important topic and the first sentence of the poem, because of a transverse crack on the surface of the tablet, the handwriting is completely missing.

"If I had seen this poem before, I would have guessed that it was about ancient sacrificial rites, but since we began to study painting, I don't think it is so simple." Ke Xun's eyes fell on the two most familiar words - "Wei" and "Ding".

Tripod, tripod.

Is this poem related to painting?

Yue Cen wrote something in the palm of his hand with his fingers, and he was still saying something in his mouth. When they came to this world, they had already lost their bags, and the paper and pen could not be found.

Kexun saw that Yue Cen seemed to be familiar with the poem. He simply picked up a branch and crouched on the earth: "sister Cen, I'll write. If you can't write, you can tell me the composition of strokes."

Yue Cen praised Ke Xun's quick response: "I have indeed seen this poem, but it's hard to say whether I can recite it completely. I once participated in a documentary film about ancient customs, in which a group of" suburban Temple songs "of the Tang Dynasty were used. This poem is just the greeting God poem, which needs to be read by the young actors who were responsible for the recitation Because the words and sentences in it are more obscure and difficult for children to understand. Basically, I taught him to recite them word by word. "

Kexun didn't have time to feel the coincidence of the incident. At this time, he held the branch in his hand and said, "great, you can recite it and I'll write it!"

Yue Cen recited by memory: "Jiaomiao songs, wax hundred God movement, welcome God."

Ke Xun: "La Bai Shen?"? Which is spicy

"Candle wax." Yue Cen said here, can not help but look at the scene inside the temple, seems to think of something.

Kexun had finished the series of Titles: "my words are ugly. You can make do with them."

"The characters are not ugly, it can be seen that they were written by open-minded people," Yue Cen commented, and continued to recite:

eight wax open sacrifice, all things sacrifice together.

The upper pole of Tianwei, the lower qiongkun period.

Ding Zu Liufen, Zunyi recommend beauty.

There is a spirit, and there is only one.

After yuecen's prompt and correction, Ke Xun finally wrote down the poem completely.

According to the location of the stone tablet, the words that can be recognized on the stone tablet can also be determined. This four character poem is exactly the one recited by Yue Cen.

"It seems that I have made a little less judgment before. In fact, there are eight immortals in this temple." Yue Cen said.

"Eight? Is it the "eight wax" mentioned in this poem Asked Ke Xun.

"Yes, this poem is to praise the eight wax God, so there is the beginning of" eight wax sacrifice, all things sacrifice together. "

Looking at the poem he wrote with branches on the ground, Kexun found two words that he cared about most before: "the" Wei "here is not di Wei, it is Tianwei. The" Ding "here should also be used to hold food for sacrifice."

"Maybe these two words happen to appear here. In fact, the two sentences of" the supreme heaven and the lower poor Kunji "refer to all things in heaven and earth. They are exactly the same as the last sentence of" all things are worshipped together. "

For the time being, Kexun put aside the ultimate proposition of "entering the painting" and focused on it: "which eight gods are eight wax gods?"

Yue Cen frowned: "I may not say it all. If it is the director of the Chinese Museum, he will..."

It is useless to say more, but all the others are false propositions.

Yue Cen tried to recall the contents of Ba La: "Ba La is an ancient deity related to agriculture. In fact, the" rat disease "we mentioned before was also under the control of Ba La God. People worship Ba La, and they often pray that" there are no insects in the field, no rats in the barn, a good harvest, and a happy life and work. ". The eight wax gods are: Xiansi, Sisi, Nong, Maohu, Fang, Shuiyong and insects

Ke Xun: it sounds like Chinese characters. Why can't I understand a word except "cat and tiger" and "insect"?

Ke Xun: "well, is there one less? Sister Cen, did you just say seven? "

Yue Cen: "yes, there is another one. The literal is very complicated and difficult to understand. It's called" you Biao "

"What, what? Oil what? "

"You Biao Yao," Yue Cen said slowly, "each of these three words has its own meaning." you "refers to the farmhouse hut," Biao "refers to the field, and" Bi "refers to the well. There is a further explanation of these three words in the collection written by later generations of the Ming and Qing Dynasties: the mark indicates that the place adjacent to the farmland is built as a post house, and the farmland is occupied by the governor of the tiller, so it is called the post table

“…… What later generations said is even more misty. Which immortal is this? "

"This refers to the official in charge of slave farming in the Western Zhou Dynasty, which is also known as the" governor of the tiller. "Kexun finally understood 70% of the time: "speaking of it, the gods worshipped in ancient times were very simple. There were officials who supervised the farming, insects, and cats and tigers. The cat bark last night should not be an ordinary cat, is it the cat and Tiger God

"Very likely." Yuecen road.

"What gods are you talking about before? These two are at the top of the list. They should be gods of higher status. "

"Yes, I think these two should be the gods worshipped in the main shrine in the temple: the first miser is the Shennong, and the Sisi is the later Ji."
