It was getting late when the four of them came back. Chen Mingzhi was still holding a big white goose in his hand, and his whole body exuded the smell of goose poop that made people blind. Although they had been frightened today, fortunately, they were not in danger. And a stone forehead was found on the mound of the fish pond, which was a major discovery.
Song Yijin's mobile phone fell into the water. He urgently needed to buy a mobile phone, so he told Jiang Xiaobao and the other three: "It will get dark soon. Let's go change our rain boots now, wash them and put them away." Get into the trunk, and then hurry up and go to town. I want to buy a mobile phone. After buying it, can I have dinner in town?"
Chen Mingzhi said: "But what should I do with this goose? I want to go shopping with you with a big white goose in my arms. What does that sound like?"
"No, why don't you show off more coolness when you go shopping with a big white goose in your arms?" Jiang Xiaobao said jokingly.
"Okay, then you hold it!" Chen Mingzhi said and stuffed the big white goose into Jiang Xiaobao's hand. Jiang Xiaobao quickly avoided it and couldn't afford to play with it.
"It's okay if you don't want it. When my cousin buys the mobile phone, I'll go directly to your house, stew it and drink it." Chen Mingzhi looked at his cousin with a smile and thought to himself: I definitely agree.
/p>
"Yeah, don't eat it. If you want to eat it, go to the town and order a big goose and ground pot chicken. After dinner, take it to Jiang Xiaobao's house to raise it. Maybe you will need it later." Song Yijin explain.
Chen Mingzhi was bored and said nothing even though he was aggrieved. Poor Chen Mingzhi, who was handsome and always dressed in clean and fashionable clothes, attracted many surprised looks when he went shopping with them holding a big white goose.
After buying their mobile phones, the four of them found a restaurant facing the street and ordered a portion of Big White Goose Ground Pot Chicken, which was slightly spicy. Chen Mingzhi placed the big white goose in his hand at the door of the store, tied the other end of the rope on the goose's leg to a brick, and went in to sit down and drink tea.
Just after drinking tea, he saw a man who looked like a chef walking out of the room and running to the door of the store with a kitchen knife. Chen Mingzhi felt strange in his heart, so he quickly came out and grabbed the chef and asked: "You want to kill the goose?" ?”
“Yes, didn’t you order goose?” The chef looked confused.
"Yes, you ordered a goose?"
"You ordered a goose, what are you going to eat if you don't kill it?"
"It's not this goose. This goose is a pet, not food. Go get the goose in the store!"
The chef returned to the kitchen with a knife in his hand, not daring to neglect, saying that he had met a weirdo.
Seeing the chef's murmuring expression, the four of them burst into laughter. Chen Mingzhi even deliberately pulled his collar to expose the tattoo on his neck.
After waiting for about ten minutes, a large bowl of goose meat was served. After a busy meal, the two waiters closed the lid and said, ten minutes laterStart eating.
This time it was the same as the last time we had dinner at the fisherman’s house in Diaoyu Village. The three men appointed Zhao Xixi to drive. The three of them drank. Zhao Xixi pretended not to agree, but it’s okay to agree. The condition is that Song Yijin will be there after the meal. I didn’t agree until I bought another big watermelon and went back.
The four of us chatted while eating, enjoying good wine and good food, how comfortable it was!
"We eat goose meat like this, and people help us avoid snakes during the day. Isn't this very immoral? I feel guilty." Jiang Xiaobao said.
Chen Mingzhi said: "Eat what you have, you are the only one who has a lot to do every day. The great hero of the patron saint is outside the door, and I will let him be raised by your family tonight."
Jiang Xiaobao said: "It's true. I really didn't see those two big snakes in the fish pond in the afternoon. I was really worried that this method wouldn't work."
"Big Biao Brother, the stone forehead we excavated that day has Sanguan Zhenren on it. Is Sanguan Zhenren the Sanguan Emperor?" Zhao Xixi asked.
"It should be the Sanguan Emperor. The honorifics are the same, both are Sanguan, but the official ranks are different. And because there is a Sanguan Emperor Temple in our village, we directly implemented it according to the requirements of the villagers when we carried out the new rural construction. Laohebeng was renamed Sanguan New Village," Song Yijin said.
"The difference is still very big. Think about it, one is a real person and the other is a great emperor. The real person is a Taoist who has practiced Taoism. The great emperor should be an emperor-level god in the myth of heaven. This level spans It’s really too big!” Chen Mingzhi said.
Jiang Xiaobao said: "Chen Mingzhi's analysis seems to make sense. The official rank of Emperor Sanguan is indeed quite high. Whether Sanguan Zhenren is Emperor Sanguan needs to be investigated. Maybe we can find something new here. "Clues."
"How about we go to the Sanguan Emperor Temple tomorrow?" Song Yijin said.
Everyone agreed and decided to go the next morning.
Sanguan Dadi Temple is located behind the old village primary school in Sanguan New Village. It was built more than 30 years ago. Although it occupies a small area, once you enter the treasure hall, the altar is majestic and the treasure cover is solemn and gorgeous. The statue of the "Three Views of the Great" is enshrined, and the incense is very popular. On every first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year and important festivals, there is an endless stream of people from the Japanese village and surrounding areas who come to burn incense and pray. The street patrol temple fair held in the first month of each year is even more grand. , there are huge crowds of people, believers gather together, the three realms are auspicious, and it is very lively.
The next morning, when the first ray of sunshine shone on the wetland and wasteland, Jiang Xiaobao could not wait to get up from the bed. He quietly got dressed without waking anyone else up. After washing, he happily drove his brother-in-law's motorcycle towards the town.
After arriving in the town, Jiang Xiaobao went to three shops to buy everyone's breakfast according to everyone's preferences, including fragrant Huangqiao Shaobing, crispy and delicious fried dough sticks, and steaming steamed buns for morning tea. There are also two rice cakes that I love to eat. Not only that, he also specially bought some fresh eggs and went back to make bowlsGive boiled eggs to Zhao Xixi.
After returning home, Jiang Xiaobao carefully placed breakfast on the dining table before waking up the others. Zhao Xixi was very touched when she saw Jiang Xiaobao's thoughtful preparation. She also liked the taste of the breakfast and was very satisfied.
Later, Jiang Xiaobao called Chen Mingzhi over and chatted about today's plans while eating. After eating, they got into the car in high spirits and drove straight to Sanguan New Village to start a new day of treasure hunting.
Song Yijin is from this village after all, so he shared with everyone what he knew about the Sanguan Dadi Temple while driving.
Song Yijin said: “When I was a child, my mother often took me to the temple to burn incense. Enter someone's home to dance. The longer the dance lasts, the more prosperous the family will be, and the happier the owner will be, and the more red envelopes will be given."
Speaking of the strong incense, Jiang Xiaobao said: "In my impression, I remember. Every year on the 13th or 14th day of the first lunar month, my grandma would walk to stay with relatives in Sanguan Xin Village. She would burn incense at the temple that night and watch the temple fair the next day. "
"It seems that my grandma is the same. After the first month of the Spring Festival, she started to be busy on this day and paid special attention to it," Chen Mingzhi said.

As the four people were talking, they arrived at the end of the village soon and parked their car. Song Yijin went to the village canteen to buy four pairs of joss sticks. After paying the money, he asked Zhao Xixi, Jiang Xiaobao, and Chen Mingzhi to give them symbolic tokens. They scanned the QR code and paid one yuan each. The four of them didn't understand why, but Song Yijin laughed and said nothing.
Only the proprietress of the canteen understood, smiled and said: "Boss Song knows the rules."
Zhao Xixi said curiously: "Cousin, you are very famous in the village, everyone in the village Everyone seems to know you, Boss Song."
Song Yijin still smiled and said nothing.
Jiang Xiaobao said with envy on his face: "That's natural, the Song family is a famous family, and the eldest cousin even opened a big company in the provincial capital. What a tough background, who wouldn't be greedy? ?" After saying that, he made a sound of admiration. "Hahaha..." Song Yijin couldn't hold back his laughter. He turned around and picked up a barrel of oil and a 10-kilogram bag of rice from the canteen shelf, and then asked for a pack of cigarettes and four bottles of drinks. , paid the money readily. The proprietress of the canteen's eyes narrowed with laughter.
"Cousin, why did you buy so much rice and oil? There is no rice or oil at home?" Jiang Xiaobao asked curiously. Song Yijin patted Jiang Xiaobao on the shoulder and explained: "These are not for our family, but for the temple keeper. He lives alone in the temple all year round, and his life is very poor. I want to do my best. I can help him with my little effort."
Just outside the gate of the former village primary school, you can see the gray tiles and red walls in the distance among the trees, and the simple and elegant Sanguan Dadi Temple.The building looks proud in the fragrant breeze, and the fairyland is quiet.
Walking into the courtyard, the temple keeper was cleaning the courtyard. When he saw someone coming, he put down the broom in his hand and came over.
"Good morning, Master." Song Yijin greeted.
"Baby, which family are you from?" the uncle asked.
"Master, I am from the Song family of this village, the two of them are from Ye Laoguo, and this girl is traveling from other places." Song Yijin replied politely.
"Ah, are you a descendant of Mrs. Song's Song family?" The temple keeper looked surprised.
"Yes, Master."
"Okay, okay, the Song family has a deep connection with Emperor Sanguan."
Song Yijin was puzzled. But the reason he listened to the temple keeper should have something to do with their old man.
"Come, I will lead you here to burn incense, and we will come from this way." The temple keeper said with a smile.
"Master, we brought a few things, are they for you?" Song Yijin said.
"You are so polite, thank you." The temple keeper said as he led the four people towards the treasure hall.
The Sanguan Emperor Temple has a treasure hall and a side hall. The treasure hall is dedicated to the Sanguan Emperor, and the side hall is occupied by the temple keeper.
The palace is quite spacious and magnificent. In the center of the palace, there is a high altar. On the throne of the altar, there is a statue of the Emperor Sanguan with a bead curtain imperial crown and a golden dragon robe. The statue is solemn. , awe-inspiring.
The temple keeper led the four people to light candles, burn incense, worship and pray with piety and respect.
Then the four people visited the altar in the main hall. They found that the throne of the statue was a gorgeously decorated sedan, and the statue was sitting in the sedan. The sedan was shaped like an ancient official sedan.
Zhao Xixi reached out to touch the sedan. She wanted to see the wood of the official sedan. Song Yijin signaled her not to do this with his eyes, but Zhao Xixi had no choice but to take back her hand and look carefully with her eyes. The vermilion paint was new, so you couldn't tell the age just from the wood, and the dragon pattern carved on it was also very exquisite.
Because this temple is newly built, there are no older things in the main hall. There are street temple fair supplies and some stools and chairs placed around it, which is not usually during important festivals. There will also be many people who come to sit down and chat after offering incense. The parents are short-sighted and have troubles in their minds, so they often chat for a long time.
"Master, how many years have you been in the temple?" Song Yijin asked after sitting down.
The temple keeper said: "I came to the temple when I was in my twenties, and I don't remember clearly how many years it has been until now. I have never been married in my life."
" It has not been easy after so many years, thank you for your hard work," Zhao Xixi said with a sigh.
Song Yijin asked again: "Master, where is the original old temple site?"
"Old temple site?, on the grain field of the Third Production Team, it was the team's warehouse. It used to be a temple. It was destroyed during the Cultural Revolution and it was not allowed to stay, and the statue was not allowed to stay. There is nothing we can do, the house is destroyed, but it seems impossible. This is the historical foundation of this village and the folk cultural heritage of the villagers. "The temple keeper was a little excited when he said this.
"Everyone thought of a way to split the statue and hide it in the shape of wood. This wood was hidden in the house of Mrs. Song. The family lived in the house for a long time, and it was not restored until after the Cultural Revolution. A warehouse for the production team was built in the original place, and one of the rooms was used to re-consecrate Emperor Sanguan. Although the house is small, the incense has been prosperous, and the villagers no matter when This benefactor has not been forgotten. " said the temple keeper.
"Master, is your benefactor Sanguan Zhenren? ”
“That’s Sanguan Zhenren. He is the true form of Emperor Sanguan. Sanguan Zhenren saved the lives of the villagers a long time ago. In order to commemorate Sanguan Zhen’s kindness, the villagers passed on his legacy.” With the spirit of sacrificing himself to save others, he built the Sanguan Zhenren Temple. "
"Master, we have found the stone forehead of Sanguan Zhenren Temple, which is the stone tablet. The Sanguan Zhenren Temple written on it should be the original site. ”
“Master, why are you now called the Great Emperor of Sanguan? Is there any explanation for this?” "
"There is a story in it. I was told by the previous temple keeper that I was uneducated and could not write down many things, so I could only report them. According to legend, when Jiang Taigong was consecrating the gods, he saw countless cranes from the three realms of heaven, earth and man flying towards the old river. The sky above Beng San Guan Zhen Zhen Temple kept shouting. I opened my eyes and saw San Guan Zhen Zhen's good deeds of saving people. I was very moved. However, I had no choice but to find that the three hundred and sixty-five sacred places were full and the list was already established. In addition, Sanguan Zhenren was granted the title of Sanguan Great Emperor of Sanyuan, Sanpin and Sanguan. His Taoism crowned all the heavens, favored the three realms, and he was crowned with honor. "
So that's it, that's it.
After listening to the words of the temple guardian, Song Yijin and the other four people just learned about the historical origins of Sanguan Zhenren's true body, and how to respect him Feeling spontaneous again, they stood up and joined their palms together to worship the Emperor of Three Views
