Chapter 1998 Qishan God
The next day, at 4:30 in the morning, just as dawn, Wang Zan and Chang Kun had already gotten up. At this time, many villagers in Xuwangtun had already received the letter last night.
There are almost half of the courtyard in the Xu family’s yard, but these are not the construction materials for building a mountain temple.
It is a offering, which is not the ordinary offerings of chickens, ducks, geese, or any fruits. Generally speaking, the number of sacrifices in temples is generally based on nine.
Cattle, sheep, pig, fish, wax, stomach, skin, fresh fish, fresh wax, etc. After putting these nine offerings, special utensils must be loaded. In ancient times, we basically used tripods, which paid attention to the highest etiquette and respect for the gods. Now there is definitely no place to find the Nine Tripods, but it can be replaced by a golden bowl. The specifications of gold have been the highest since ancient times.
Large animals like cattle and sheep cannot be pulled down with a car. Starting from three miles away at the foot of the mountain, there are two big men standing in front and behind, with a shoulder pole in the middle, and the cattle and sheep are folded with red belts on their four hooves, and then they are lifted up until the mountain is placed in front of the mountain temple.
This means that in modern times, you cannot do a big show, as long as you comply with the rules, if it were in ancient times, the scale would be much larger than this.
At around five o'clock, everything was ready. Most of the men, women, and young people were dispatched throughout Xu Wangtun. However, before going up the mountain, Wang Zan explained to Mr. Xu again: "It doesn't matter if the villagers go. It's really lively when there are too many people, but some people are not suitable. Pregnant women cannot do it, and people born in the Yin year and Yin month cannot do it. There are no more people who have been in prison. The direction of the mountain temple is in conflict with the criminals born in the year of the horse... You go and talk about it and let the villagers stay at home with these characteristics. As long as today is over, it doesn't matter when they go up in the future."
The old man nodded as he heard this, then stepped forward and began to follow Wang Zan's instructions. In fact, he said that he didn't need so much, but there was something wrong with this mountain temple, so he had to pay attention to all details.
At five o'clock, Wang Zan looked it over and found that there was no problem, so he let the village team go up the mountain.
Along the road, Wang Zan asked the two villagers to sprinkle paper money from outside the mountain to the mountain. The reason for this person to be scattered is similar. This is the money to buy the road. Don’t let the ghosts around you follow and bump into the mountain spirit.
Xu Miaoshu was walking in the front. Last night she took a shower and changed clothes and ate vegetarian food. She washed her again after getting up this morning. This is called purifying her body. Keeping herself clean is a way of respecting the gods.
Arrive on the mountain at 6 o'clock, and the construction team at the top of the mountain has also arrived, as well as some machinery and construction materials that were transported last night.
Xu Wangtun's pace of doing things can definitely be said to be very resolute, but in just half a day and a night, he prepared everything properly and then waited to break the ground.
There were many people standing on the hillside in a dark place. Wang Zan took a shovel in his hand and handed it to Mr. Xu, saying, "After I finish here, you will start the construction now, but other people cannot move. You have to come to break the ground first."
"What did you say?" the old man asked in confusion.
"This first shovel of ground breaking is very evident. First of all, you can't find someone to come here casually. Secondly, this person must be respected and able to convince the public, otherwise he will not be able to suppress this momentum." Mr. Xu has been the village secretary for decades and led Xu Wangtun to become rich. There will definitely be no stronger momentum than him within a radius of 100 miles. He is undoubtedly the most suitable for this first time to break the ground.
However, if the construction starts later, there is no such statement. Just follow the normal procedures to construct.
In front of the Mountain Temple, Wang Zan asked someone to lay firecrackers all over the floor, cattle and sheep and other offerings lined up in front of them, and placed a table in the middle, with an incense burner on it. These are all procedures to go before opening the Mountain Temple.
In fact, it is normal to think that there are too many places for building mountain temples. First of all, in terms of Feng Shui, there is a Mingtang in front and a backing behind, and there is a protection on the left and right. The Three Evils and Tai Sui cannot be moved. Then there must be a standing mountain and a general gate. In terms of direction, the temple is generally in the direction of Zi, Wu, Mao and You, and the five elements of the hexagram position should be auspicious to be the main structure of the life and the main structure of the palace.
If the Feng Shui is wrong, the direction is wrong, or the rules are broken, even if the temple is built, there will be no incense, and it is very easy to get into trouble, such as walls and doors collapse. However, this mountain temple in Xu Wangshan has its original site, so these issues must not be considered, and there are original drawings. In this way, it will be relatively simple. Just get flat on the ground and restore one by one. The above problems can naturally be avoided.
If it is a newly-established mountain temple, the statue of the gods will be consecrated, but there is no need to be here. The mountain spirit itself is on Xu Miaoshu. In the future, Wang Zan only needs to place the statue inside when the mountain temple is built, and then invite the mountain spirit out to send it over.
It was not until eight o'clock that Wang Zan looked up and saw that after the sun rose from the east, a ray of sunlight fell on the top of the mountain where the mountain temple was located.
Wang Zan cleared his throat and said, "The mountain god is a duty, the foundation of the people and the country, and the villagers are the sustenance of the villagers. He thought that the Taoist family in the Nine Heavens was responsible for... This mountain god is full of luck, and his kindness is as kind as a mountain, and all people respect it... Now it is a good day and auspicious time, and the temple of the mountain god is specially built to protect the health of the people for hundreds of miles..."
Wang Zan's opening remark was a tribute to the temple of Mount Taishan, which means to inform the heaven and earth that if the conditions in this mountain are enough, it is possible to build a temple. I hope that the heaven will be able to be harmonious and give it approval.
After Wang Zan finished speaking, he narrowed his eyes and looked up at the sky, while his light also swept the changes around him.
Previously, the mountain temple was struck by lightning. Wang Zan once said something like a joke. He said that it was the mountain god here who violated some laws of heaven and earth that were not tolerated by heaven and earth. This sounds like a joke, but the truth is that. He also doubted whether the rules of this mountain temple were broken, otherwise the thunder would not be dispersed on a rainy night.
At this time, he was just waiting to see if there was any change. If there was a thunder falling at this time, or if there was a change on the mountain, to be honest, Wang Zan would directly ask the villagers to turn around and go down the mountain, so this mountain temple would not be built.
