Chapter 1996 Reconstruction
After descending from the mountain, Wang Zan returned to the Xu family and went to find Mr. Xu again and asked him about the specific matters of the mountain temple.
Although decades have passed, the old man still has a good memory. It may be that the mountain temple left too deep an impression on him. He still remembered it very clearly and did not forget some details.
"This mountain temple is not big, it is similar to an ordinary land temple. It is a two-entry courtyard. In front is the main hall, the statues of gods are worshipped, and the tables are placed on the back. There are several tiled houses in the back. In the past, people who went up the mountain to rest and live."
"The courtyard wall and the gate are painted in vermilion red, with blue bricks and red tiles. The main hall is about three floors high and has an area of more than one hundred square meters..."
After hearing the old man’s description, Wang Zan finally asked in a focused manner: “Do you know who the mountain god is worshipped?”
The old man said, "Then you must know. This mountain god worships a general from the Yuan Dynasty, named Li Ang. He is not very famous outside. He led his troops to station in Jinzhong. The reason for worshiping him is that General Li loves the people very much. He often leads troops to clear the bandits in Jinzhong. If there are disasters, he will open warehouses and release grain. So in order to thank him for his actions, the locals provided General Li's tablets."
Chang Kun suddenly said in surprise: "It's a human, not a god?"
Wang Zan explained to him: "You have a little misunderstanding of the throne you worship. Not only gods can be offered to be offered to be offered to temples. Take the general as an example. You should be familiar with the second brother Guan, right? You have too many offerings, Yue Fei also has evil things, and Fei General Li Guang, or Zhuge Liang, there are also temples. General Li Ang did a lot of good deeds during his lifetime and always thought about the people. So in order to be grateful, the people built a mountain temple for him to worship and bless the land and water."
Chang Kun nodded, and he understood a little. In fact, there are too many real people who have been established in temples throughout the ages. It’s just that General Li is not very famous and has not been spread to the outside world. It’s just that there are some fame in the Jinzhong generation, and they have made their lives for the people and the world. There are also many unknown temples in various places, but nowadays, most of them are either abandoned or non-existent.
"Old man, if I want to rebuild this mountain temple, can the village give me some effort, right? And the speed must be fast," said Wang Zan.
The old man was stunned and asked in surprise: "Do you want to rebuild?"
"Yes, it will start soon," Wang Zan nodded and said.
"But, can you build it? Didn't I say before that the village had to rebuild the mountain temple, but it didn't build it after several times, and even people died. You..." Mr. Xu asked worriedly.
Wang Zan smiled and said, "Don't worry, since I dare to practice, I must be sure that nothing will happen. After all, I will not take risks with myself."
The old man thought about it and nodded and said, "If you say that, there will be no problem in the village. We old people have long thought about building the mountain temple again, but the situation does not allow it. Don't worry, whether it is money or people, the village has taken care of it. In fact, our family cannot take care of this matter. After all, the mountain temple is a temple in Xu Wangtun, otherwise our own family can be built."
Wang Zan nodded and said, "Then I believe it."
"Okay, I'll say hello to the village later, and then let the village committee find the drawings for you."
Wang Zan said in surprise: "Where are there any drawings?"
"Well, there are two copies. They were drawn by some old people in the village based on their memories when they wanted to repair them. They are basically nothing different from the original mountain temple."
Wang Zan nodded and said, "That's better. You can show me the drawings later. I will try to copy them one to one for you..."
When rebuilding the mountain temple, the young people in Xuwangtun probably don’t feel anything. They think that it’s meaningless to engage in such feudal superstitious activities. But older people must be concerned about old man Xu, and there are several such people in the village. What’s more interesting is that these are the ones who are in charge of the economic lifeline and voice of Xuwang Village, so the construction funds and teams of the mountain temple are not a problem.
After Wang Zan said the proposal, Mr. Xu immediately called the village committee and began to communicate. The old man seemed to have a kind of obsession and seemed to be extremely energetic at this time.
Xu Miaoshu whispered in Wang Zan's ear: "Our village enterprise was once my grandfather helped me to serve as chairman. After working for more than 20 years, Xu Wangtun has been free from poverty and has been relying on him all the time. So although my grandfather doesn't care about the matter over the years, as long as he comes forward, no one in the village will object."
The king was enlightened and said, "Your grandfather is the leader of Xu Wangtun, the local emperor. He was like issuing an imperial edict when he spoke."
The old man made a few phone calls and said to Wang Zan with great enthusiasm: "No problem. Now they are starting to organize teams. The factory and the company have machines and equipment, and they will be delivered to the mountain on time tomorrow. As for the personnel, I will prepare a team of forty people for you. Is it enough?"
"Enough, these are not problems. If there are drawings, I guess this mountain temple will be able to be rebuilt in a short time." Wang Zan felt that with this configuration, the mountain temple should be able to rise from the ground in less than a week.
The old man sighed and looked at him and said, "Young man, I'm old and I don't know how long I have lived for a few years. My family's affairs are nothing. My biggest wish in my life is to think that one day I can build this mountain temple. If you can achieve my wish, I will have no regrets even if I die. I have to thank you."
Xu Miaoshu complained: "Grandpa, what are you saying? You are in such good health, what are you dead? You forgot that the fortune teller said that you can be over 100 years old, at least 10 or 20 years."
The old man looked at his granddaughter and said, "By the way, I have a thought, that is, I have to watch you get married and then hold your great-grandson, so there will be no regrets at all."
Chang Kun said seriously: "Don't worry, after the temple is built, we will hold a wedding immediately. No matter what we say for a year or two, you have to carry your great grandson."
The old man and Xu Miaoshu were confused at once, and Wang Zan said in shock: "It's okay for a year, but if it's half a year... your wife has given birth to a child, are you sure you can be willing?"
