Gods and Immortals
Chapter 2: Temple of Nuwa
() After entering the city, the world in front of me is strange but familiar.
The street is six to seven meters wide, and the dirt floor has long been rolled down by the comings and goings of chariots and merchants, making it smooth.There are many workshops for pottery, cloth sewing and silk reeling on the street.The merchants that just opened in the early morning are hawking shoulder to shoulder, and it is very hot.
Vendors who sell millet and rice keep their grain pockets open, grabbing the shiny grains and showing them to the passing merchants.The businessman carrying a bunch of bananas half a person's height broke off the green bananas at the end and threw them to the wild monkeys on the eaves.
The butcher on the street chopped off a section of ox hoof bone fiercely, and stared at a hunter who had just entered the city across the road. The hunting knife in his hand was flying, and a live deer was drained of deer blood in an instant, attracting people on the road. The crowd watched and admired.
A group of aristocratic children who went hunting in the city in the morning, rode a suspended cart, followed by eight rhinoceros cavalry. The huge rhinoceros tilted its head slightly, knocked over a textile workshop, and flaunted away.
Stepping into the bustling crowd, Mo Xuan couldn't look at the civilization 3000 years ago with the eyes of modern people.
At this time, the Central Plains, which is dominated by the Henan region in the later generations, has a subtropical climate. Just like what Mo Xuan saw in the data, the temperature is higher than that of the later generations, warm and humid.
In the city, plantains and palm trees can be seen everywhere, and broad-leaved plants are densely covered around. Except for the ground paved with stones, most of the ground is green and weeds, full of vitality.
Most of the men only wear short linen skirts or loose cloth robes, with animal bone necklaces and jewelry around their necks, wrists and ankles.Women mostly wear linen gowns with the right lapel crossed over the left collar, and a knee-length undergarment wraps around the waist and gathers it on the chest.It has a slightly Hanfu flavor.
Those with better status and wealth will embroider patterns that symbolize nobility, such as scroll moiré, on the neckline and cuffs, while ordinary people usually have no style.Mo Xuan's clothes at this time were gray and white short gowns, with a double-layer animal mask pattern embroidered on the neckline that symbolized the nobility of the Hou Kingdom.
The more these lines overlap, the more noble the status of the symbol will be.Mo Xuan thought of the inscription bronze ware dug out by his father, on which there were as many as six layers of overlapping wind, thunder and cloud patterns. The person who made that bronze ware should have an extremely noble status.
……
When Mo Xuan was walking along the street, he was caught in a group of teams.
This team is full of fishermen who are about to go out to fish in the city, there are also hunters who go to the mountains to hunt, and more, there are ordinary people who go to the Nuwa Holy Temple to ask for divination for weddings, funerals, illnesses and burials.
Asking about divination is a major feature of this era, and the power of theocracy is so great that it is almost equal to the power of the king.
According to the plan already set, Mo Xuan took the first step and went straight to the Holy Temple of Nuwa.
Nuwa Temple is located in the north of Jin'ao City, covering a huge area, half leaning against a huge mountain depression.
This beautiful, majestic and continuous mountain range is named after the Nuwa Temple, and it is called Nuwa Mountain.
When Mo Xuan of the Yin and Shang Dynasties was cultivating in the Jin'ao Academy, he went into the deep mountains many times to hunt rare and strange beasts.Although modern memories are the main ones now, memories from ancient times will emerge from time to time, and I feel very kind.
In front of the gate of the holy temple, on a white jade pier stood a huge stone tablet as tall as a man.The stele is engraved with the four ancient characters of Nuwa Holy Temple, and the overlapping multi-layered cirrus patterns around it are prosperous and dense, and the workmanship is extremely fine.
The huge and magnificent temple gate palace is behind this stone tablet.
Half of it is exposed outside the col, surrounded by mountain mist, quiet and elegant like a fairyland.The other half is hidden in the mountains and forests, quiet and mysterious, and you can't see anything inside the temple gate.
When ordinary people come here, it is considered the end.
To enter the gate of Nuwa Temple, only the nobles are eligible.
At this time, some nobles with their servants and family members were about to enter the temple to pay homage. Mo Xuan took a few glances from a distance. Cheetah, to show majesty.
Today, I came to pay my respects at the Nuwa Temple, needless to say, I also came to ask for divination and pray for the opening of Jin'ao Academy tomorrow.
It should be the best thing to go into the Nuwa Temple by myself, and take advantage of the chaos of the crowd to steal the lampstand out secretly.After making up his mind, Mo Xuan put on a jade ornament that symbolized his identity, and walked into the Nuwa Temple first.
"stop!"
A cold shout not far away made Mo Xuan stop.
Those aristocratic guards stood in front of Mo Xuan with copper spears and jade spears, staring at him.
Mo Xuan knew very well that when nobles met together, they had to compete with each other.Although I have shown that I have the qualifications to enter, but after all, I have enough reliance on others, how can I let myself, a loner, take the lead.
Looking around, as expected, many little nobles were blocked outside the door and could not enter first.
Mo Xuan mentioned the jade ornaments, "My father is the Lord of Gu Zhu, and I am the prince of Gu Zhu, so I am qualified to enter."
The guard glanced at the jade ornaments lightly, and said disdainfully: "Eligible to enter, but also to be qualified. You are a little prince, how dare you make trouble here? You know who is on that Luanjia, so you dare to enter first? "
Mo Xuan frowned slightly, "Who?"
"Hmph!" The guards didn't even look at Mo Xuan, they checked back and forth to see if there were other people sneaking in, "The one on the Luanjia is Dong Bohou's granddaughter, Princess Jiang, you Guzhu has the status of Dong Bohou." Is it tall?"
"Dong Bohou, Jiang Huanchu?" Mo Xuan thought to himself, this person was also not recorded in the history books, but Dongbohou Jiang Huanchu in film and television literature works, and his daughter Jiang Huanghuang are well-known far and wide. I didn't expect to see him here today. his granddaughter.
Mo Xuan looked up to Luanjia, and there was a red dress floating out of the curtain between the curtains, swaying gracefully in the wind, but this Princess Jiang herself could not see her face.
"Don't look, just wait here. After Princess Jiang pays her respects, you can enter." The guard gave Mo Xuan a cold look.
Even if Mo Xuan came from a later generation and didn't care about the dignity of aristocrats, it's not polite for two ordinary people to scold and roll their eyes at every turn.What's more, Mo Xuan wanted to take advantage of the crowd to go in and steal the lampstand, so how could he be stopped here.
Mo Xuan didn't want to break up with the guard, and his voice was cold, "No matter how low my status is, Gu Zhu is still a nobleman enshrined by the royal court. How can I allow you, a little guard, to scold me here? Go away!"
The guard suddenly turned his head and stared at Mo Xuan fiercely, as if Mo Xuan dared to say a word, and he would strike.
In Mo Xuan's previous life, as Wen Zhong's personal soldier, he fought against barbarian tribes for nearly 20 years.Fighting methods and killing experience are all veterans.Although the body has not been trained in this life, but the timing of the shots and the experience of hitting the vital points are still there, which is not a problem at all for such a guard.
"What are you looking at? It's just a watchdog, and you still want to do something?" Mo Xuan sneered, and bowed his arms behind him.
Sure enough, being provoked by Mo Xuan, the guard suddenly became furious, raised his palm and slapped Mo Xuan.
As soon as Mo Xuan took a look, he knew that this guy regarded himself as an ordinary person with no power to restrain a chicken, otherwise he wouldn't use this kind of gangster fighting style.
Just as the guard slapped him halfway, Mo Xuan smiled lightly, turned sideways at a favorable angle, and then struck him with a thunderbolt, his right palm pointing like a knife, hitting his vital area under the armpit, and retracting it again.
This kind of position does not require many shots, but it can temporarily incapacitate people.Unless you are a seasoned veteran, ordinary people will not know.
Moreover, Mo Xuan's speed was also nimble. If he didn't look carefully, the guard didn't even see Mo Xuan's attack.
The guard froze all over, raised his hands in the air, his face twitched slightly, and his head was dripping with cold sweat.
He knew that today he was kicking on the iron board.
"You..." The guard's entire arm froze due to the severe pain, half of his body collapsed as if he had suffered a stroke, and he was almost unable to stand up.
Mo Xuan squeezed out a jade shell from the money bag, threw it in front of the guards, passed over in a stately manner, and glanced at him lightly, "This jade shell is enough for half a year's salary for you, shut up and heal your wounds, don't worry about it yourself." court death!"
The guard just wanted to call for someone, but when he heard what Mo Xuan said, he didn't dare to speak up.
That's right, if the nobleman can't beat him, even if he bullies him twice, he will be covered by the status of Princess Jiang's family.But if the nobleman could really kill him, then Princess Jiang would definitely not seek trouble for a domestic slave, and the Yin and Shang laws and regulations would not punish a nobleman.
The guard froze half of his body, and the painful snot flowed out.He bent down to pick up the jade shell with force, and silently glanced at Mo Xuan's back mingling with the crowd, not daring to say anything.
Princess Jiang paid her respects to a large number of people, including many relatives, and no one noticed that there was an extra Mo Xuan.
When the time came, the priests and wizards in Nuwa Holy Temple opened the door to let them go. Princess Jiang walked in slowly, leaving her servants and slaves waiting outside the temple gate.
Mo Xuan naturally mixed in easily.
……
The Nuwa Temple is huge, shaded by green trees and full of buildings.
The ground is paved with jade-containing bluestone, which is simple and elegant. The carved beams and painted pillars are all engraved with wind, thunder and cloud patterns symbolizing the power of heaven, to show the majesty of the holy ancestor.
The main hall of Nuwa's ancestor is directly above the col, and you have to climb 99 steps.
On both sides of the steps, among the countless pavilions, are enshrined folk gods passed down orally by the people of the Yin and Shang Dynasties.
For example, the statue of Cheng Tang, the founding God of War in the Yin and Shang Dynasties, is just below the main hall of Nuwa, while the legendary Valkyrie, Fu Hao, enjoys incense at the place where Cheng Tang started.
In addition, the water god Dayu, the god of wealth Wang Hai, the beast god Xiangtu, and many other legendary figures who have been born since the civilization of the land, all have places of worship here.
According to Mo Xuan's experience in later generations, these people are far less famous than those rumored innate gods.
For example, the God of Wealth, later generations generally honor Zhao Gongming as the God of Wealth, Bigan, Fan Li and the like as the God of Wealth, and Zhong Kui and Guan Yu as the God of Martial Arts.
But Mo Xuan is in this era, so there is no such thing as Fan Li and Guan Yu.
Even Bigan, at this time, is still the Prime Minister in the royal court, so naturally he cannot be the God of Wealth.
But Wang Hai is different, merchants and merchants, why do people who do business are called merchants? It is precisely because the seventh leader of the Shang clan invented the method of exchanging goods by trading, pulling cattle, horses and livestock, and traveling between each tribe with goods. Only when people walk away can there be people who do business, and they are called businessmen.
Therefore, the people of the Shang Dynasty were more willing to worship their own ancestors as gods.
Mo Xuan could not help but nod his head in admiration when he saw such offerings with the eyes of two lifetimes of experience. Just looking at the end of the battle of Muye, the immortals from the upper realm slaughtered mortals like pigs and dogs, and there was no need to worship them.
……
Climbing up the 99 steps, several old men led Princess Jiang and some other young nobles to stand outside the main hall of Nuwa.
Mo Xuan looked from behind. Princess Jiang was wearing a fiery red dress, which was very conspicuous among the large black and white robes.A long whip that almost reached the ground hung from her back, tied with red silk threads, full of aura.
As the old man pushed open the main hall door, Mo Xuan really saw the scene he had seen during the Battle of Muye.
The curtains flutter in the gate of the palace, and in the middle is a phoenix treasure stand.
The enchanting female statue with a human head and a snake body is standing on the treasury, majestic and holy.
Similarly, the statue of Nuwa stretched out her slender arms to hold it in the void, but the bronze lampstand that should be in her hand is now gone.
