Since ancient times, there has been a mysterious legend about Jincheng: when there were no Miao people living in Jincheng, it was a brocade snake the size of a mountain. People of the older generation say that this brocade snake is the patron saint of the whole Miao area and should not be offended. But one day, the thunder gathered in the sky, and the brocade snake disappeared in the thunder, leaving only an open space of kilometers in diameter.
People firmly believe that the brocade snake is an immortal after a robbery. Therefore, in order to commemorate the brocade snake, a city was built on this open space and named brocade city.
Up to now, the legend can not be fully believed, but there are still many people in Jincheng who believe in the brocade snake and call it Jinxian. It is one of the three major belief gods in Miao today.
Zhou Tian and Xiaojie get off the bus and go directly to duomu''s home in Jincheng.
Although duomu''s home is not luxurious, it is also a three story villa.
"I thought your home was the old simple building." Zhou Tian joked.
"That can''t be. Now that the economy is rich, we also learn to keep pace with the times. Since we have the conditions, why don''t we enjoy it." duomu Shan said.
"Yes, it makes sense." Zhou Tian nodded gently.
Into the villa, very quiet, no one.
Xiaojie couldn''t help but say, "are you not married? And you don''t have any children?"
"I''ve always been alone, and now I don''t care."
A tree looks a little gloomy. Being lonely and helpless in old age is probably the most sad thing in his life.
When he came to the room where he collected things, as soon as he opened the door, a special light came to him.
Zhou Tian''s eyebrows are picked up. This is Baoguang. There is a smell of treasure in this room.
"Immortal master, after you," said tomu respectfully.
Zhou Tian was not polite either. He went in directly and looked around with a pair of eyes. He already knew the things collected by a wood.
"Immortal master, how about these things?" the tree said with some expectation.
"Not bad. There are one or two rare treasures. Your master has really collected a lot of good things. Unfortunately, you disciple didn''t make good use of them."
Zhou Tian sighed, went to a corner in the upper right corner, took out a yellow book from the shelf.
The title of the book is the story of Gu in miaojiang. This is the first edition. It has been more than 200 years. Up to now, it can be regarded as an independent copy, which is very rare.
"Immortal master, are you also interested in this book? When my master was still alive, he loved reading this book when he was free. It seems that there are some important secrets in it." duomu said lightly.
Zhou Tian smiled. This book "the story of insects in Miao area" records many legends about the art of insects in Miao area, which provides a lot of valuable information for understanding the mysterious art of insects.
After the first edition of the book was printed, it was resisted by many people in Miao area because too many secret secrets of Miao area were leaked. Even under the leadership of some big stockaded villages, they took the action of burning books, resulting in the lack of many true legends of the art of insects in Miao area. It can only be used as a gossip in unofficial history and has little reference value.
"Take this book with you."
Zhou Tian handed the book to a wood, and then went to the next treasure.
A jade Ruyi is crystal clear with a little red light. It is only a few steps away from the legendary blood like jade. It has the ability to ward off evil spirits. It can be regarded as a rare object.
Zhou Tian played for a while and then put Yu Ruyi down. This thing is of no use to him and can only be used for viewing.
"Where''s the map your master left?" asked Zhou Tian.
Duomu quickly found a sheepskin map from a pile of books. He took it over and looked at it from the mountain first. He found that duomu''s master was also proficient in Feng Shui.
Because the map drawn by ordinary people is similar to that drawn by a feng shui master, but the emphasis is different. Feng Shui masters will leave some signs or code words on the map that only feng shui masters can understand.
When drawing the direction of the mountain range, the master of duomu specially pointed out several red dots, which seemed to be no problem, but actually there was a great mystery, because those red dots were the place of feng shui treasure.
"You said that your master has been wandering on the land of miaojiang all his life?" Zhou Tian asked.
"Yes, since I followed my master, I have no fixed residence, and the longest residence is no more than 15 days. I have been trekking in the mountains and rivers of miaojiang all the time, so I know miaojiang so well. However, my master has never stepped into the depths of miaojiang, so I am new to Baigu stronghold," replied the tree.
Zhou Tian was thoughtful, but he didn''t say much. Then Zhou Tian and others left the villa and prepared to have dinner.
Many tourists from all over the country and even all over the world can be seen on Jincheng Street, which is very lively.
"Why are there so many people here today? It seems that it''s not a tourist peak now." Xiaojie wondered.
Seeing that Xiaojie was very interested in Jincheng, duomu acted as a guide and explained all the way.
According to duomu, today is the annual grand meeting of Jincheng to worship Jinxian. It is very grand and lively. Many Miao people will come to Jincheng from all over the country, which has become an exclusive Tourism Festival in Miao.
Because on weekdays, I want to see those orthodox Miao people with secret whereabouts, but I really need opportunities. I can''t see them if I want to see them.
In the last part of the event, there is also a blessing link of Jinxian. As long as you are selected, you can get the blessing of Jinxian. You can not only be strong and healthy, all diseases can be eliminated, but also have good luck and high photos. You can even be invited to visit the stockade in the depths of miaojiang.
"Oh, there''s such a thing. I''ve heard the legend of Jinxian. I didn''t expect it to become a patron saint to protect one side of the wind and rain. It''s really wonderful." Zhou Tian smiled.
He once saw relevant records in books, which were written by an expert who swam through mountains and rivers.
It is recorded that there is a brocade snake the size of a mountain in miaojiang. It is suspected that it obtained supreme Demon power because it swallowed the legendary magic medicine. This brocade snake, usually entrenched, looks like a small black mountain peak from a distance, and pedestrians can walk freely. But when it wants to eat, it will devour all the pedestrians. If it is not full, it will attack the nearest stockade nearby. It is extremely vicious. It is a big monster rampant in the border of Miao.
At the end of the book, it is also recorded that there was a war in Miao area, and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses fought on the plain near brocade snake. The cry of killing awakens the sleeping brocade snake. The brocade snake angrily opens its huge mouth, swallows all the soldiers and horses into its belly, and then falls into a long sleep. It was at this time that a Taoist expert who came from a long trip set up the nine sky thunder pole array, which attracted the sky thunder. It took seven or forty-nine days to destroy this evil thing.
But now, a monster that originally harmed all living beings has become the object of people''s first worship, which is a silent irony.
Although such a situation is not uncommon today, Zhou Tian is still very disgusted. A monster has become the object of worship, which is simply contempt for the innocent pedestrians who died in its belly.
"This Jinxian is the God of our three major beliefs in Miao. There are hundreds of temples alone, and the incense is very good. Immortal master, why don''t you go to Jinxian temple to worship? I can''t say, you are the one who can make Jinxian appear." duomu said happily.
"Well, I''d like to see it."
Duomu didn''t see the mockery in Zhou Tian''s eyes. He thought Zhou naive was going to worship in Jinxian temple and hurried to lead the way.
Jinxian temple in Jincheng is the place with the largest number of tourists in Jincheng. In addition, it is also worth the Jinxian worship event today. The crowd is like a wave.
On Sunday, I caught a glimpse of many people wearing ancient Miao costumes shuttling between suits and shoes, which really feels the combination of ancient and modern.
It is obvious that duomu has a good reputation in Jincheng. Some Miao people have made way for the arrival of duomu, which saves Zhou Tian and Xiaojie from catching up with tourists.
Before entering the Jinxian temple, Zhou Tian was attracted by the vivid brocade snake on the top of the temple.
I saw that the brocade snake had wings, looked up to the sky, and its mouth was wide open, as if it had a tendency to swallow the sky.
"Isn''t this Ba snake?" Zhou Tian chuckled.
There are records about Ba snake in the book of mountains and seas. It is described as a black giant snake with a green head and a length of 180 meters. It feeds on elephants and spits out bones only three years ago. If people are lucky enough to pick up the bones it spits out, grind them into powder and take them in warm water, they can also prevent and treat cardiopulmonary diseases. Such a big snake would cause panic in the world, so the Yellow Emperor sent Hou Yi to shoot it in Dongting.
"Shh, immortal master, you can''t say this here. It''s taboo!" Duo Mu trembled all over and whispered in Zhou Tian''s ear.
"Oh, why? Don''t you think it''s very similar?" Zhou Tian smiled.
"Immortal master, does this seem like the same thing? The main thing is that there are many believers who worship Jinxian here. If they hear what you say, they will certainly cause a lot of trouble." duomu hurriedly explained.
Zhou Tian looked around and found that many Miao people were devout. Even at the gate of Jinxian temple, many believers knelt down and worshipped directly.
There are some old people who are too old, ragged, dirty and smelly, but their eyes are like poisonous snakes, leaning against the big tree.
Although they are very old, it seems that they will return to Jiuquan in the next moment. In fact, they are ascetics who believe in Jinxian. Their ears are used to listen to the voice of abusing Jinxian. Their eyes are like poisonous snakes looking for people who are disrespectful to Jinxian.
Very difficult and terrible.
Zhou Tian just sneered. He was not afraid of these. Today, he really demolished the Jinxian temple! Even the Jinxian temple he met on the way in the future, he would destroy them one by one.
