- The Wucheng Temple is also called the Wucheng Temple. In the early years of the Yuan Dynasty, Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty conferred the title of King Wucheng on Jiang Shang and Jiang Ziya, a master of politics, military and strategy in the Western Zhou Dynasty. All sacrifices were performed in accordance with the Confucian Temple. Every time there was an imperial examination, literati would go to the Confucian Temple to pay homage. Confucius, the King of Wenxuan, and the Wu people went to the Wu Temple to pay homage to King Jiang Taigong of Wucheng. This was a custom and a written rule. Before the imperial examination, the Wen and Wu temples were in full bloom. Although Qin Xuan did not believe this, he did not want to violate his own family. Out of Madam's kindness, she naturally went to pay her respects.
The Martial Arts Temple in Chang'an City is in Taipingfang, located at the southwest corner of Hanguangmen in the imperial city, adjacent to Anhuamen Street to the west and Hanguangmen Street to the east. This area is also the residence of the royal family and court officials, and there is not only a Martial Arts Temple in Taipingfang. , and the famous Shiji Temple in Chang'an City is also located here, such as Jizang of the Sanlunzong Sect, Shandao, the founder of the Pure Land Sect in the Daye period of the Sui Dynasty, Jianzhen, the eminent monk of the Lu Zong and the founder of the Japanese Lu Sect, all lived and received ordination in Shishi Temple.
Taipingfang is lined with green trees and towering ancient locust trees. It is very quiet inside. It is not as noisy as the streets where ordinary people live. There are few people coming and going on the streets. The streets paved with mud and stone are smooth and smooth, and horse-drawn carriages can walk on them. There was no sound, only the sound of horse hooves and the chirping of birds perched on the ancient locust trees.
"Master, the Martial Arts Temple has arrived," the coachman said softly.
Qin Xuan got off the carriage and saw a building like a large house in front of him. Different from ordinary temple buildings, the gate of the Martial Temple was more like a shrunken city gate tower. On the gate tower were two powerful characters "Martial Temple". The gate of the gate tower was ten feet long. It is wide, about two feet high, and has no steps. Cars and horses can enter the martial temple directly. There are parking spaces for horses on the left and right sides of the gate. After entering, I found that there were more than a dozen cars and horses parked inside.
Chariots and horses can be driven in Chang'an City, but they cannot run fast. Especially those on horseback. If they dare to gallop in Chang'an City, they will be immediately arrested and sent to the government. Except for the postmen who deliver urgent messages, except for the army and postmen, those who can ride can ride horses. It is estimated that they are officials and the royal family. Ordinary families are not allowed to have horses. Horses are among the five military strategic items and are strictly managed.
The Wu Temple was officially built for worship only during the reign of Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty. Before that, there was no formal temple for worship like the Confucian Temple. The yin and yang between heaven and earth were in harmony, and where there was literature, there was martial arts. Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty named Jiang Taigong King Wu Cheng, and he will The Taigong Temple was changed to a Martial Arts Temple, and now the Holy Emperor has ordered the establishment of Martial Arts Temples in the capital and the eastern capital, and various states have also begun to build Martial Arts Temples for worship.
The predecessor of the martial arts temple in Taipingfang was the Taigong Temple, which was dedicated to worship Jiang Taigong. After expansion and reconstruction, it became the martial arts temple as it is today. There are not only ancient locust trees in the martial arts temple, but also many cypress trees. The mottled trees show the vicissitudes of history. , the coachman stopped the carriage, took the sacrificial supplies, and followed Qin Xuan strolling towards the sacrificial hall.
The layout of the Wu Temple is similar to that of an ordinary house. After entering the courtyard, there is a large courtyard. In the courtyard, there are many people dressed in various colors, resting in the pavilions on the east and west sides, and some wrestling in the open space behind the pavilion. , there were cheers and laughter from time to time, which was very lively.
"Why are there still people competing in martial arts here? Doesn't the place of sacrifice need to be quiet?"
"Master, the Martial Arts Temple is different from the Confucian Temple. Most of the people who come here to worship are warriors. After the sacrifices are over, they often compete in martial arts in this courtyard. This is also a common thing."
After hearing what the coachman said, Qin Xuan realized that this martial arts temple was dedicated to the God of Martial Arts. Just like he had seen many temples with warrior monks in his previous life, they also studied martial arts in the temples every day. This martial arts temple was not a school grounds. Without weapons, the warriors who came to offer sacrifices would inevitably feel nervous when they met together. Wrestling was the best martial arts competition, and besides, this martial arts also included wrestling as a test.
"Come on, let's go to worship. After we're done, we'll come here to see how these people's wrestling skills are. Maybe there are many candidates taking part in the martial arts exams among them, so we can take a look at their strength first," Qin Xuan urged. To be honest, Yes, he really doesn't find it interesting to come to the Wucheng Temple to pay homage. These things still depend on one's own strength. Without strength, even if you crack your head open to King Wucheng, there is probably no chance.
But this is a custom, and it is also people's belief now. Qin Xuan cannot refute this, nor can he violate his wife's good intentions, just like you are obviously a "gay", but Chinese customs and laws stipulate that men and women must marry. Although there is no It is clearly stipulated that men and women cannot get married, so even if you don't want to, you have to do it. This is a kind of following the crowd, and it is also a helpless move. As for whether paying homage to the emperor will work, you have to ask yourself whether there is such a thing. strength.
"Master, my wife said that this greeting must be sincere. You can't be hasty. You must be sincere. Sincerity will be effective," the coachman said.
Qin Xuan currently has no little book boy to follow him. When he was preparing the incense and candle tribute for the sacrifice, he specifically asked the coachman to warn Qin Xuan. Beauty Guo knew that he didn't believe this, but everyone who participated in the scientific examination did this, even if he didn't believe it. Believe, fearYou lied to yourself, so you asked the coachman to keep an eye on him at all times, lest he go for a walk on the street and come back without paying homage. He would definitely do such a thing.
"Haha, it's just a process. You will sincerely bow to King Wu Cheng for a while. After that, go and compete with those people to see if you can defeat them," Qin Xuan said with a smile.
In fact, belief is just a matter of seeking spiritual comfort and sustenance. Just like if you are depressed or sad, if you don¡¯t find someone to talk to, you will probably be in a state of anxiety and sadness, and may become ill. Come on, if you find someone to talk to, you will feel much better soon. This is a transfer of emotions and thoughts, and the same is true for faith.
However, there is one thing that Qin Xuan appreciates more. Whether it is Buddhism or Islam, Chinese sects or foreign sects, they all ask people to do good deeds. This is commendable, except for cults of course. As for the worship of Wucheng King, I hope he can bless me and get a spot on the martial arts gold medal list. It¡¯s useless. The so-called sincerity leads to spiritual success. That¡¯s what they deceive believers. On the other hand, if it doesn¡¯t work, it¡¯s the reason why you are not sincere. They can be right or wrong. That makes sense.
"MasterMaster, this won't work. I'm just a coachman and I don't know how to fight."
"That's right. If you don't have enough strength, it's useless to pay homage," Qin Xuan said with a smile.
As for coming to pay homage to King Wu Cheng today, one of them is not willing to go against the good intentions of Miss Guo, and the other is that Jiang Taigong is also a celebrity in history. He is the kind of role model who refuses to accept old age and never admits defeat. That's it. , it¡¯s time to come and pay homage. As for bless yourself to be named on the gold medal list, forget it. Even if you can¡¯t pass this time, you will find a way to sign up to join the army.
Qin Xuan walked into the main hall of the Martial Arts Temple and discovered that in addition to the holy king Jiang Taigong enshrined here, there was also the so-called first supporting role, Yasheng Zhang Liang, and the "Ten Philosophers" who were sitting there. They were all famous and talented people, Qin Wu'an. Jun Baiqi, Han Xin, the Marquis of Huaiyin of the Han Dynasty, Zhuge Liang, the Prime Minister of Shu, Li Jing, Duke of Shewei, the right servant of Shangshu, and Li, Duke of Sikong Yingying, were on the left side of Jiang Taigong.
On the right side are Zhang Liang, the young master of the Han Dynasty, also known as Yasheng. The first one on the right is Qi Da Sima Tian Rangju, Wu General Sun Wu, Wei Xihe Guard Wu Qi, and Yanchang King Le Yi. The people on the right except Zhang Liang and Sun Wu, Qin Apart from Xuan who was familiar with them, Tian Rangju, Wu Qi and Le Yi were not familiar with them, mainly because these people were not mentioned much in the history of previous lives.
Qin Xuan was embarrassed to ask others, but he was not the only one who came here to worship. There were three or four people worshiping in the hall at this time. Seeing that some of them were strong and powerful, they were probably participating in martial arts. A person in the military or in the military is about to take part in the martial arts examination. He can't even recognize the ten philosophers, and it is a joke to say it.
"What is the background of this Qi Da Sima Tian Rang Ju?" Qin Xuan asked his coachman in a low voice. Those who can gain a foothold in the martial arts temple for worship are all well-connected people, but he didn't recognize them by looking at their names. , there is no way around this.
"Ah the master doesn't even know him, but he is called by Yan Ying, the wise prime minister of the state of Qi, as a versatile man of both civil and military talents who can win over the crowd and formidable enemies with military force. He is the coachman of Qi State's great Sima Tian Gong who wrote the "Sima Fa" military book. Surprised and answered loudly.
When he said it so loudly, everyone turned to look at the two of them. Qin Xuan's face was as red as a monkey's butt. This coachman was so full. I don't know if he had eaten so much that he wanted to do it when he spoke so loudly. Well? Are you afraid that I can't hear you? Or to show off how much you know? Qin Xuan cursed.
"Did you eat too much today and make such a loud noise? Are you disturbing others? As a punishment, you don't have to eat dinner. I'm sorry, everyone. He is ignorant and disturbed everyone's worship." Qin Xuan smiled and apologized, cupping his hands.
"Hmphare you also going to participate in martial arts?" said a man who looked six feet tall, powerful, bearded and tall.
"Yes, you are here to take the martial arts examination too?" Qin Xuan asked with a smile.
"Haha Well, you don't even know Shi Zhe, but you still participate in some martial arts competitions. Isn't that embarrassing?" The bearded man said with disdain.
"Brother, don't you know that Shizhe can't participate in the martial arts competition? There seems to be no such thing. It's not weird if you don't know this song. What's the shame?" Qin Xuan said.
"You want to participate in martial arts and come here to worship. You don't even know who you are worshiping. What are you worshiping for? To say you are embarrassed is an understatement," said the bearded man.
"You're weird. I'm here to worship King Wucheng. The people around him don't know anyone, and I don't worship them. What's more, I haven't asked you yet, why are you so careless? Are you If you know all these people, you will definitely pass?" Qin Xuan said angrily.
This man looks like a martial artist, but he speaks like a scholar with sharp words, but his words can make people angry. Although worshiping King Wucheng is a custom for those who participate in martial arts examinations, what does this have to do with martial arts examinations? Relationship, doesn't it mean that if you don't know them, you can't be considered a samurai? Who are these people
"It's not up to you whether you can pass, it depends on your strength. It's better not to touch me, a pretty boy like you, otherwise you will suffer a lot," said the bearded man.
"Haha the toad yawned so loudly. Don't think that you can scare people because you are tall and thick. You can eat whatever you want, but you can't talk nonsense. I really hope to meet you in the martial arts competition. At that time It will definitely be interesting¡±People's customs, but what does this have to do with martial arts? Can't you be considered a warrior if you don't know them? Who are these people
"It's not up to you whether you can pass, it depends on your strength. It's better not to touch me, a pretty boy like you, otherwise you will suffer a lot," said the bearded man.
