Chapter 534 City God Temple

Ningcheng (Mansion) Town God's Temple, a Taoist temple, also known as Ningcheng County Temple, is located at No. 22, Xianxue Street, Haishu District.

City God, also known as City God, City God.It is one of the important gods generally worshiped in the religious culture of the Chinese nation. It is acted by famous ministers and heroes who have contributed to the local people. It is the god of guarding the city believed by Chinese folk and Taoism.

The main hall of Ningcheng Town God's Temple is dedicated to Lord Jixin, the city god of Ningcheng Mansion, the second-rank inspector, Chenghuang Weilinggong Jixin. During the Hongwu period of Ming Dynasty, it was named "Ningcheng Mansion Town God's Temple".The hall building of Ningcheng Town God's Temple is a large-scale building in the south, with red walls and mud tiles. Now the main building in the temple consists of screen wall, gate, front patio, instrument gate, stage, middle patio, main hall, back patio, back hall, east and west side halls and Composed of left and right wing rooms.

Ningcheng Town God's Temple is located in the prosperous center of Ningcheng City, Zhejiang Province. It is an important Taoist temple in Ningcheng. It was first built in the second year of Liang Zhenming (916), and has a history of nearly a thousand years.The wind and rain have changed, dynasties have changed, and the Ningcheng Town God's Temple has also experienced rise and fall.

The Town God's Temple in Ningcheng Prefecture has a history of more than 600 years. It is a relatively complete ancient building in the history of Chinese architecture. It is older than the Town God's Temple in Shanghai and has a higher status.

The "Cathay Pacific Pedestrian Street" built in 1995 was a steal at the time.On this quaint commercial street, the length is no more than a kilometer and the width is no more than 50 meters. There are many shops and vendors, and it is bustling all day long. The opening of the new shopping mall of Chenghuang Temple was also listed as one of the eight practical events of the Ningcheng government.

Many of the shops on Guotai Street near the county temple sell antiques, calligraphy and paintings, as well as household items, including "Zhang Xiaoquan" scissors, pottery pots from Yixing, incense candles from Putian, and almost everything you need for daily life.

At that time, such an antique street was the only one in the province, and it was rare in the whole country. A few years later, Hefang Street in Hangzhou began to be renovated.

The Chenghuang Temple was very prosperous at that time, which can be proved by three points: [-]. The road in front of the Chenghuang Temple was set up as the first one-way car lane in Ningcheng.[-]. Set up a restricted begging area for beggars at the entrance of Chenghuang Temple.

[-]. Every July and a half, when the Town God's Temple opens the next day, you will find that the ground and the cracks in the door are filled with incense sticks from citizens.

As for the pedestrian street built in 98, together with the Town God's Temple business district next to Tianyi Square, it is collectively called Chenghuang Temple Pedestrian Street. One of the big pedestrian streets.

Of course, the bustle will always decline. The opening of Tianyi Square has also led to the extreme diversion of the City God's Temple. In addition, the most important City God's Temple in the pedestrian street needs various renovations, resulting in road closures or market closures at intervals. And part of the subsequent Chenghuangmiao Pedestrian Street was relocated to other places due to the reconstruction of urban roads, which also led to the decline of the glory of this area.

However, even so, this place is still the people of Ningcheng's favorite place, and it is also the busiest night market at night.

It's just that the arrival of the end of the world really makes everything seem so insignificant. The subsequent subway construction has now become a desolate construction site, and the huge potholes on the road are still left there, telling all kinds of desolate times.

And Chenghuang Temple Pedestrian Street, also because of the time period of the end of the world, was settled by the military ZF in this area of ​​the Sea Administration. With the joint efforts of survivors from all sides, the Chenghuang Temple Pedestrian Street was transformed into a stronghold of human beings. , the entire area centered on Chenghuang Temple and Tianyi Square, the radiating range was also quickly cleared and occupied by the forces of the ZF and various survivors.

Here, it is now the area with the largest sphere of influence in Ningcheng, the most complicated situation of influence, the largest population base of survivors, and the area with the most chaotic scenes.

At this time, in this place, there is the Trading Point, an organization ruled by Jiang Shan, who wants to break into this powerful area and is making key preparations for the control of Ningcheng.

Jiang Shan was smoking a cigar, admiring the graceful and imposing ancient buildings of the Town God's Temple.

All kinds of woodcut murals, all kinds of old-fashioned wooden structures, and the beautiful and characteristic chicken coop roof, all let Jiang Shan relax his mood rarely in the environment of the end of the world.

From the bluestone steps outside the temple, through various corridors, and then into the main hall, looking at the statue of the city god in front of him, Jiang Shan's impetuous mood calmed down as he clasped his hands respectfully.

Chinese people all naturally believe in Buddhism, which has a lot to do with China's 5000-year-old cultural tradition and historical records. Gods, Buddhas, and demons have grown up with us since childhood.

At the beginning, Jiang Shan ran long distances with his father, worshiped Bodhisattvas at home, and asked someone to drive the truck. These are the instinctive habits of some Chinese people.

Looking at the City God in front of him, although the current apocalyptic world is no longer the world before, the reliance and sustenance in the hearts of such people are still very longing for.

Moreover, the ZF personnel in the post-apocalyptic town god's temple stronghold obviously protected the town god's temple in an orderly manner, and did not let the panicked people destroy it after the apocalypse. From the way of walking into this stronghold, most of the survivors seem to live in the pedestrian street and the surrounding of the town god's temple. In each shop, although the overall environment is somewhat messy, the order is not bad.

Jiang Shan clasped his hands together and placed them above his head, instead of kneeling down to worship, he just prayed a few words in his mouth.

In his heart, he was only concerned about the safe birth of the child in Zhang Ling's womb, and hoped that the child would grow up healthy and healthy in such an apocalyptic world. He was satisfied with all of this.

As for himself, he didn't care about it at all. In the last days, strength is the foundation of survival. The prayer at this time is nothing more than seeking peace of mind for the child who is about to be born.

The empty main hall of the Town God's Temple was more or less covered with dust. Jiang Shan walked leisurely for a while, looking at everything in the hall as if he were sightseeing. After all, he had never been here before the end of the world.

Footsteps came, and Jiang Shan, who looked up at the beautiful pictures on the wall, did not look back. From the familiar footsteps, he knew that it was Chen Long who had returned.

"Is it over? How was the chat?"

Jiang Shan asked, Chen Long walked to his side and also looked up at the picture on the wall.

"It's going well, but the cooperation discount they want is very low, and they are somewhat not interested in the layout of the Gulou Trading Point branch. I heard from their people that there are too many forces inside and outside Tianyi Square. Their ZF stronghold The people in the city are struggling now, they can only protect themselves, and the power and population of many survivors obviously exceeds the stronghold of the Town God's Temple, and they are a little overwhelmed, so this cooperation is limited to transactions!"

"Also, Captain Chen said to stay here to talk about other things, let me come down first!"

Jiang Shan nodded, held a cigar, exhaled smoke, put his left hand on Chen Long's shoulder, and said: "Actually, I don't need to cooperate with them, it's just a formality. After all, they represent ZF, even if it is the end of the world. The ZF is also the largest organization of mankind! And the people of ZF, at least, don’t act recklessly like other forces, and they are much more reasonable!”

Holding Chen Long in their arms, they walked out of the palace gate. Jiang Shan looked at the quiet Town God's Temple and continued with a smile: "Okay, the construction of the trading point branch is completed, and the next step is the publicity work!"

"Remember, let all the forces that exist here be aware of the existence of our Gulou Trading Point branch! Don't be afraid of their various thoughts. I only need to see people pouring into Gulou and gold and diamonds pouring into the trading point. Our ultimate goal!"
