The news that Yan Chixia returned to Huxi Valley soon spread throughout the village. For villagers, there is almost nothing they don¡¯t know. Even children born in these years often hear their elders mention it. Those who were in their prime years had worshiped Yan Chixia in the past, but now that they see her again, Yan Chixia's appearance remains the same as before, and they are even more convinced that he is one of the gods, and their hearts are full of gratitude and awe.
Huxi Valley was originally the place where Yan Chixia practiced cultivation. It can be said that every plant and tree here belongs to him. He wanted to arrange for people to live here, so naturally no one objected, especially knowing that Mr. Jin and others were also in trouble, they couldn't help but admire Yan Chixia's benevolence. So after hearing about it, both hunters and farmers came over to help. In two or three days, several ordinary houses were built.
Now that we have a place to stay and the villagers are warm and honest, everyone feels at ease.
"Hey, there is actually a temple here!?"
On this day, when Ning Caichen was wandering in the village, he suddenly discovered a simple and simple temple in Huxi Village. If you didn't look at the plaque on it, you would think it was just an ordinary house. I have been busy working on my new home these days, so I naturally don¡¯t pay attention to this inconspicuous ordinary building.
Ning Caichen glanced at it. The plaque looked a little old, but the paint and ink were still in good condition. If it could be like this in a rainy place like Huxi Valley, it meant that it hadn't been long. Ning Caichen estimated that it should not take more than ten years, and Yan Chixia had never mentioned such a thing, so he obviously didn't know about it either.
After experiencing ups and downs, and being in a world where ghosts, gods and demons are rampant like Liaozhai, Ning Caichen naturally took it seriously, especially since his family and friends lived here. Naturally, he wanted to find out whether this god was good or bad, so as not to worry about it. Something went wrong. He took a look and saw four words written on the plaque: Poseidon Empress. There are couplets written on both sides of the door:
"Cuiyu comes flying by the side, thanks to the protection of the gods, I dare to brave the waves with loyalty and trust."
??The Southern Barbarians are located on the border of the West Sea, and Huxi Valley is even closer to the sea. It is not surprising that they believe in the Goddess of the Sea. It¡¯s just that Huxi Valley is almost isolated from the rest of the world. How did this god get here? But looking at this couplet, the so-called Poseidon Queen seems to be a pretty good deity.
Ning Caichen walked in and saw a statue of a graceful, noble, kind-hearted woman sitting in the center of the temple. At first glance, it is no different from the statues in ordinary temples. As soon as his eyes opened, he saw a red and yellow light pillar rising into the sky from the statue of the woman. Ning Caichen's heart condensed, he was proficient in the art of looking at the Qi, and his will power was so strong that it formed a pillar of light, which showed that the number of believers in the Poseidon Goddess had reached a very high level.
Although I haven¡¯t had much contact with the deity Ning Caichen, I have Yan Chixia¡¯s handwriting, Taoist Fang¡¯s travel notes, and later the message left by the Tai Chi diagram, so I naturally understand it very well. The so-called gods are usually heretic ghosts and gods. According to the level of the priesthood, they are wandering souls, wandering gods, spiritual gods (out of the body), judges (introduction of Qi), earth gods (spirits), spiritual officials (gold elixirs), and gods. Zun (Yin Shen), Shen Shen (Yuan Shen,), Shen Jun (Celestial Immortal).
Ning Caichen couldn't tell what kind of cultivation this Poseidon Empress had, but the gods who could put pressure on him were definitely not just spiritual gods. If there is a conflict, he may not be able to handle it. However, the true form of this god is not here, and a statue alone cannot do anything to him. Besides, being so far away, there was nothing she could do even if she destroyed the statue.
If there is a Poseidon Empress Temple, there will naturally be temple blessings. When he stepped into this place, Ning Caichen saw that this Miao Zhu was also a villager in Huxi Valley. He was Liu Laogen's younger brother Liu Daniu, and he was also a villager who had received favors from Yan Chixia. His heart moved, and he stepped forward and asked, "May I ask, layman, who is this Poseidon?"
There are often battles between Taoist priests and gods, and Huxi Village was founded by Yan Chixia. A god suddenly appeared, and Liu Daniu did not dare to mention it to Yan Chixia. The reason was simply because he was afraid of arousing Yan Chixia's anger. When Ning Caichen came just now, he was almost shocked. Fortunately, Ning Caichen looked calm and didn't take it too seriously, so he felt relieved a little.
Liu Daniu explained: "The Goddess of the Sea, also known as the Goddess of Jinghai, has been running in the sea all her life, rescuing people in emergencies and rescuing many fishing boats and merchant ships in rough waves; she is determined to save all living beings, protect fishermen, and is dedicated to doing good and helping the world. He is the sea god worshiped by the eight major tribes of the Southern Barbarians"
With Liu Daniu¡¯s explanation, Ning Caichen also understood the origin of the Jinghai Goddess.
The Goddess of the Sea is also the Goddess of Jinghai. According to legend, before she was born, her parents burned incense and prayed to the sky day and night. Just in the evening before the baby girl was born, the neighbors saw a meteor turning into a red light and shooting from the northwest sky, which was dazzling. , the shining light made the rocks on Meizhou Island turn red. Therefore, the parents felt that the baby girl was born very strange, so they loved her even more. Because she did not cry from birth to two months old, she was named Lin Mo Niang.Her parents called her Mo Niang, and people respectfully called her Lin Mo Niang. When she grew up, she determined to do good deeds and help others throughout her life. She was determined not to marry, and her parents obeyed her wishes. She devoted herself to doing good deeds, studied medicine diligently, treated people's illnesses, and taught people how to prevent epidemics and eliminate disasters. Everyone praised her. She has a gentle personality and is eager to help others. He constantly solves problems for the villagers and often guides people to avoid evil and seek good fortune. When people in the world encounter difficulties, they are willing to discuss them with her and ask for her help.
It is said that when Jinghai Goddess was alive, one day there was a storm on the sea. Jinghai Goddess wanted to cross the sea. There were boats on the shore, but there were no oars or canopies on the boats. In addition, the wind was strong and the waves were strong, so the boatmen did not dare to sail. Jinghai Goddess wanted to cross the sea. Poseidon said to the boatman: Just set off the boat. Then he asked people to hang straw mats on the mast to use as sails. The boat sailed on the sea, riding the wind and waves, and flew away.
Once, a merchant ship was struck by strong winds and ran aground on the rocks nearby. Seawater poured into the cabin and was about to sink. The villagers saw the huge waves and did not dare to go to the rescue. At this critical moment, Jinghai Goddess randomly found a few grasses under her feet and threw them into the sea. The grasses turned into a row of large fir trees and were rowed to and attached to the sinking merchant ship. The merchant ship was saved from sinking, and the people in the ship were saved. Disaster.
She can ride across the sea and predict good and bad luck, and she will inform the boat owners in advance whether they can sail. Therefore, it is said that she can "foresee good and evil events" and she is called "Goddess" and "Dragon Girl".
Liu Daniu was afraid that Ning Caichen would not believe him, so he specifically cited an incident and said: "Fifty years ago, there was a severe drought in the Southern Barbarians. The people of the Southern Barbarians said that no one but the Goddess Jinghai could save the disaster. So, the chiefs of the eight major tribes went there in person He asked Goddess Jinghai for help. She prayed for rain and said that it would rain heavily at Shenke on the day of Renzi. On that day, the sky was clear and cloudless in the morning, with no sign of rain. As soon as Shenke arrived, suddenly dark clouds rolled in and it rained heavily. The torrential rain is pouring down, and the long drought is met with sweet rain, and the earth returns to its former vitality.
Because of this incident, the eight major tribes all respected the Poseidon Empress. Moreover, when walking in Nanman, no one would dare to harm anyone who claims to be a believer of the Poseidon Empress. "When he said the last sentence, Liu Daniu also felt slightly embarrassed.
Hearing this, Ning Caichen also understood. Although Huxi Valley is far away from the crowd, they still have to go out and exchange daily necessities with the people of the Southern Barbarians. Most of them were from Daqian and Meng Yuan, and they were traveling in the Southern Barbarians. With the protection of the Goddess of the Sea, they would not get into trouble as long as there were no accidents. Rather than saying they believe in Poseidon, it is better to say that they use Poseidon as a talisman.
Being alone outside, Ning Caichen naturally understood their mood. And from what he said, everything was strong. This Poseidon is really a rare good deity. From these legendary miracles, it can be seen that her power seems to be much better than that of her senior brother. Ning Caichen would not provoke such a person for no reason.
PS: This is the goddess of our province, so naturally we have to praise her, haha. In fact, as many people should know, she is actually Mazu.
