Chapter 961

In two months, I wrote more than ten classic novels.

All the people in the world agreed in their hearts that Yang Chen is the king of contemporary novels.

Whenever Yang Chen's novels are sold, scholars from all over the world are collectively silent, making way for Yang Chen's novels, otherwise, they will definitely be crushed to the point of being bruised by Yang Chen's novels.

As for Confucian and Taoist master Cai Xing!

It was silent, and no one from the rest of the aristocratic family went to him again. As for promoting his book, they didn't even think about it.

After Yang Chen finished writing these more than ten classics, he stopped writing and traveled around with a bamboo stick in his hand.

Today I arrived at the Fucheng of Chengyang Prefecture.

The site of the temple of Grandma Shu, the goddess of longevity, the largest god in Fucheng.

The Goddess of Longevity is indeed the god with the highest status and the widest audience in Chengyang Mansion. Her temple occupies a large area and is very magnificently built.

In front of the gate of the temple, there are many faithful men and women, who arrived at the Changsheng Empress Temple early to worship the empress.

"The Empress of Longevity is the one who likes to worship her devoutly. Every day, whoever comes first, and whoever offers the first stick of incense first, will be more protected by the empress."

"Master Liu is over [-] years old and has no children. It is because he once waited for days and nights in front of the temple of the Longevity Empress. He waited in line for food and drink to show his sincerity."

"The temple of the empress is no longer open after dark, but the rich man Liu is still queuing outside the temple, waiting for the next day to come. Several times, when Mr. Liu is outside, because it is not the first time. Stick to the incense, after Mr. Liu has all offered incense, continue to line up."

"Through this again and again, the empress was finally moved and opened the door of convenience, so that Yuanwai Liu got a stick of incense for the first time. Not long after the incense was offered, Yuanwai Liu's No. 30 second concubine became pregnant. "

Yang Chen frowned when he heard the words "first stick of incense" in front of the Changsheng Empress Temple, "I never thought that there would be such a thing as the first stick of incense in this world."

The custom of burning incense has existed in the Great Zhou Empire since ancient times.

It originated from early sacrificial activities and has a long history.

Roughly speaking, burning incense can be divided into burning incense for worshiping gods and burning incense for daily life.

Burning incense for sacrifices developed later, no matter worshiping gods and Buddhas, ancestors, or ghosts from all walks of life, incense must be burned.

And the temple will be burned, and the house will also be burned.

Since offering sacrifices to gods has increasingly become the main function of burning incense, the so-called burning incense today is mainly to worship gods.

The true meaning and purpose of burning incense and worshiping the gods is to express respect, gratitude and remembrance to the gods.

To detain and become pure, to dedicate life, to realize life, if you do this, you will naturally be full of blessings and wisdom, and your wishes will come true.

In the eyes of incense burners, they can communicate with gods and spirits by burning incense, convey their wishes to Buddha, and make their wishes come true.

Folk believers believe that burning incense can not only show a believer's piety, but also be the first to convey one's wish to the gods, so that the gods can sense and realize their wishes.

Of course, some people burn the head incense because they have done something wrong, hoping to pray for the protection of the gods by burning the head incense.

The gods are the same thing in the hearts of the common people, they often treat them vaguely, do not make distinctions, and do not want to distinguish them, as long as they can bless themselves and bring them good luck, no matter which gods they are, they must respect them.

Therefore, people's beliefs are often not based on the devout belief in the objects of worship and sincere belief in supernatural power, but more of a secular utilitarian purpose.

We are also very practical with ghosts and gods, enshrining them is for good weather and to eliminate disasters.Our sacrifices are a bit like inviting guests, dredging, and bribery. Our prayers are making wishes and begging. What ghosts and gods treat us is power, not ideals; it is a source of wealth, not justice.

Believers believe that by burning incense sticks on New Year's Eve, they can have a safe and smooth year, which brings great psychological comfort to people.

Firstly, burning incense can show the devoutness of the believers, and secondly, it will bring good luck and blessings to the believers, so that their wishes can be conveyed to the gods as soon as possible, so that their wishes can be realized and they will be greatly blessed by the gods.For many people, the pursuit of good luck and auspiciousness is an eternal theme.

Staying overnight in the temple and competing to burn incense burners at five o'clock at night is a very common thing in the Changsheng Niangniang Temple in Chengyang Prefecture.

Although Yang Chen didn't appreciate such a scramble for incense in the Changsheng Empress Temple, he didn't have any other thoughts, after all, it was the freedom of others.

Queuing all night, crowding shoulder to shoulder, throwing incense across the wall, and hype at high prices.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the gate of Changsheng Niangniang Temple is crowded with people who want to grab the first incense, and those who stand at the front of the line wait in line all night.

The phenomenon of "grabbing the first incense" is becoming more and more popular, and queuing up all night is the norm.

Every year, there are accidents of various sizes, either burning hair, burning face, or posing fire hazards.

"It is a misunderstanding to rush to burn the first stick of incense. Whether you burn the first stick of incense has nothing to do with piety or not, and you will not get more blessings because of it. If you believe that burning the first stick of incense will bring you more blessings, that is Making deals with gods is not believing in gods." Yang Chen shook his head and said.

into the temple.

The temple of the Immortal Goddess is very vast, just after entering the temple, Yang Chen completely transformed his divine power into the aura of talent all over his body.

Under normal circumstances, a god cannot easily set foot in the territory of other gods without the consent of other gods.

This is because, once this is done, it means challenging another god, which means a battle between gods.

When one's talent flourishes, one's fate becomes extremely expensive. Ordinary gods cannot withstand the kneeling of a person with extremely high fate. Turning bad luck into good fortune, even demons, ghosts, gods and sages, cannot interfere with the actions of such people.

The temple of Changsheng Empress covers a lot of land. In a courtyard of the temple, there is a sacred tree. This sacred tree is said to have grown in the temple of Changsheng Empress for more than a thousand years.

Before the founding of the Great Zhou Taizu, this big tree already existed.

However, at that time, there was no temple of the Empress Changsheng in this place. The Empress Changsheng appeared only 500 years after the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and has been worshiped to this day.

However, this Longevity Empress is not an officially recognized deity, but a wild god that is not recorded in the book, and the people spontaneously believe in it.

On the sacred tree, cloth pouches are hung one after another. Inside the cloth pouches are the wishes of every believer. If you hang the pouches here, you hope to be protected by the empress, and your wishes will come true.

"It's so evil, and even smells like blood."

Yang Chen frowned as soon as he entered the courtyard, doubts suddenly arose in his heart, "The temple of God is majestic and sacred, and blood is not allowed. How can there be a faint smell of blood inside?"
