Weird recovery, I can't hide my god's identity

Chapter 224 Five Mansions Thousand Years Old
There is a huge area of ​​Minzhong between Minjiang River and Haicheng, so it is too early to think about this issue now.

If there really is a small world or a paradise at the bottom of the river, it has either been occupied by people long ago or has never been discovered. It doesn't matter whether you go early or late, so there's no need to rush.

So Chen Jingle was not in a hurry.

"Things in Haicheng are basically done, it's time to leave."

After occupying the city for more than ten days, there was only one City God Temple in the entire Haicheng Prefecture that was not lit. I guess the officials of the Haicheng Civil Affairs Bureau were so anxious that their mouths were almost bubbling. We didn't dare to ask or urge them, so we could only wait and wait.

As a result, I had to wait for more than ten days.

Chen Jingle couldn't drag it on any longer, so he had to finish it quickly.

Although it may sound like a scumbag saying this, the fact is that there are too many places waiting, and enough time has been wasted in Haicheng.

Although the people of Haicheng are indeed strong in their faith, the number of incense sticks increased dramatically after they noticed some special signs in the local temples of the Lord of the Land and the City God.

When it comes to folk beliefs, Haicheng can be said to be unrivaled in the entire Fujian region.

When the director of the Haicheng Civil Affairs Bureau heard from his subordinates that there was finally some movement in the City God Temple, he almost cried with excitement. Oh my God, you, the deity, have finally arrived!

As the world's largest City God Temple, even though its specifications are only that of a provincial City God Temple, everything else is high-end, even the sacrificial specifications.

There is no way around it, people in Haicheng are really willing to spend money on this.

However, Chen Jingle didn't come to listen to their nagging. He simply spread some blessings and left.

"Next stop..."

Chen Jingle hesitated for two seconds and turned his gaze to the Lu Island in the east.

In terms of distance, Ludao, which is also one of the three prefectures in southern Fujian, is obviously much closer than western Fujian.

After taking care of Lu Island, you can move northward and take over Licheng Prefecture, first occupy the entire southern Fujian, and then consider moving eastward or westward.

……

As a tourist city, Ludao is much more famous nationwide than the provincial capital Min. Many people even mistakenly believe that Ludao is the provincial capital of Min.

Even the dogs shook their heads when they heard this.

In fact, the total area of ​​Ludao is only equivalent to a county town, but the urbanization rate is as high as 90%, much higher than other cities in Fujian.

A well-deserved modern city.

However, Chen Jingle did not have a high opinion of Ludao, as he felt that the city had too strong a petty-bourgeois atmosphere.

The locals commented: "100 for the environment and 0 for the housing price."

Well, the problem of housing prices...there is really no solution.

However, as a highly developed modern city, Ludao does not have as few religious temples as the big cities in other provinces. On the contrary, temples can be seen everywhere!
Although not as exaggerated as the neighboring Haicheng due to the land area, it is not small, with more than 10 seats over 2000 square meters.

As for those below 10 square meters, there are even more.

Even on the island where every inch of land is valuable, there are temples of all sizes. There is even a temple located in a well-known domestic university.

That’s right, I’m talking about you, Ludao University!
It might be hard to believe for those who have never been there, but the reality is so outrageous.

The beliefs on the Lu Island can be summarized in three sentences - Tong An respects the king, Haicang values ​​protection of life, and there are many Mazu on the island.

There is no need to say much about Baosheng Dadi and Mazu Niangniang, they are already widely known beliefs. It is also a fact that many princes in Fujian believe in them.

However, the "Wangye" here is not a specific god, but a synonym for a type of god, referring to all gods who have been crowned as kings, with different origins and the function of "patrolling the heavens".

Initially, most of them were privately given posthumous titles, and then they were granted titles by the government. Their faith gradually grew, and some even did not receive titles, but they still enjoyed incense and sacrifices from the people. They were often regarded as "immoral temples" and "immoral sacrifices" by local governments and were suppressed, but they have remained popular for a long time.

This is Fujian.

The same is true for the belief in the prince in the Ludao area.

The princes here generally refer to the Five Thousand Years Old, namely the five princes Li, Chi, Wu, Zhu and Fan.

They are not the kings, princes, generals and ministers in history.

There are many different opinions about the legend of the Five Princes, and there is no standard answer. At that time, the people's main livelihood industry was based on fishing. In addition, the legend of the origin of the Five Thousand Years of the Five Prefectures originated from the sea, so the residents believed that the Five Princes could bless them with safe voyages.

Then, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, Zheng Chenggong was conferred the title of Prince of Yanping. After his death, the people built a temple to worship him. However, at that time, the Qing Dynasty had been restored. In the political environment at that time, people were very cautious about words, so they used the word "wangye" instead. The word "daitian tian san yu san yu" means that after the Ming Dynasty was destroyed, the king established a government in the Eastern Capital, performed rituals, music, and wars, and acted on behalf of the emperor. Therefore, the temples of the prince were all called Daitianfu, and he was respected as "daren" or "qiansui".

The folk custom of sending the king's boat along the coastal areas of southern Fujian is related to the belief in the king.

In addition to these relatively famous princes, there are also princes with various surnames, as many as a hundred. The same surname is not necessarily the same god, and there are even various plague gods among them.

Strictly speaking, most of them are obscene sacrifices.

Call it superstition or ignorance, in the old days, fishermen who went out to sea to make a living could only entrust their fate to the protection of various gods in the face of the mighty forces of nature.

and so……

Ultimately, it comes down to developing technology!

Science and technology are the primary productive forces!

If science and technology had not been developed, Chen Jingle would not have embarked on the path of becoming a god because of a mobile game, right?

……

South Putuo.

This thousand-year-old temple dedicated to Guanyin Bodhisattva is located at the foot of Wulao Peak next to Ludao University. It is magnificent and majestic, and is one of the few scenic spots in Ludao.

Tourists coming and going are shoulder to shoulder.

It is hard to imagine that this temple is so popular, as if there is never any off-season or peak season.

Maybe there are too few places to visit in Ludao, and you come here because you have nowhere else to go?

Although not every tourist who comes here will worship and burn incense, it is undeniable that the vast majority of people do so with the idea that there is nothing wrong with worshipping.

They all worshipped, so wouldn’t it be a big loss if I didn’t?
Chen Jingle has always been against this idea.

The gods will not fulfill your wishes just because of your three incense sticks and your impious faith.

If you have evil intentions, burning incense will do no good;

If you keep your body upright, it doesn't matter if you don't bow to me when you see me.

For example, he himself would not fail to fulfill his duties as a territory lord just because the people did not burn incense at his territory lord temple.

Just do your job and don't worry about anything else.

Of course, it is a good thing to have good intentions. It is okay to worship in such a big temple, but it is better to avoid small temples in the countryside where you are not related to anyone.

Of course Chen Jingle would not worship either. As a Taoist god, worshiping a Buddhist god was no big deal for him. He came here purely to stroll around.

But I did see some interesting things at this moment.

I saw several female believers releasing animals by the release pond in front of the temple.

However, what they released were not turtles or koi, but mineral water.

"Ah this..."

Seeing this scene, Chen Jingle's quick brain was a little confused for a while and he felt that his IQ was insulted.

It's like a joke on the internet coming true!
