Wu Qiudao stood on the last branch of the Tongtian Sacred Tree with mulberry leaves.
The blazing flames jumped on the mulberry leaves that were more than ten meters long. He closed his eyes at the suggestion of the embroiderer, and did not dare to look at the mulberry fire with his naked eyes. However, the bright firelight passed directly through his eyelids, and his original
The horizon that should have been completely dark was illuminated red.
As Xiu Niang introduced before, the Tongtian Sacred Tree is a divine mulberry that has not fully grown. It is even possible that it will never fully grow due to the destructive use of its branches and leaves by the Xiling clan.
But after all, it is a sacred mulberry that can hold up the sun and allow the sun and the moon to come and go. From this blazing fire that keeps burning, Wu Qiudao can feel a certain energy that is different from ordinary fire. It is a remnant of the ancient ten-day volleying era.
, the afterglow of the sun’s divine fire!
"Pity……"
Wu Qiudao seemed to hear what Xiu Niang was saying, so he turned around and asked, "What?"
"Ah? What 'what'?" Xiu Niang leaned into Wu Qiudao's ear and asked.
Maybe you heard it wrong? Forget it, it's not a big deal anyway. Wu Qiudao asked: "It's too bright here, I can't see anything. You don't provide sunglasses here. The travel experience is not good, so let's go! Take it.
Where are we going when we get down?"
"Let's go to the Temple of Our Lady of Silkworms!" Xiu Niang covered Wu Qiudao's eyelids with her hands. The coldness was very comfortable, but he was not fooled by this bad woman's little tricks.
Wu Qiudao asked: "Notre Dame Temple? Is this also something I can go to?"
"Of course!" the embroiderer said proudly.
Although the embroiderer makes it sound easy, it is actually not that simple.
The Xiancan Notre Dame Temple is not a desolate place. Pious people from the Xiling clan come here all year round to worship and burn incense. When they saw Xiu Niang and Wu Qiudao walking hand in hand and walking openly into the temple, they felt like they were
I read it wrong?
Several outgoing "expired" saints were kneeling to pray, but their attention was attracted by the commotion. They turned around and saw that the current saint walked in with a naked insect slave. They all immediately stood up and stopped them.
The two of them found their way.
"Saint, how could you bring a naked insect into the Holy Mother Temple?" asked an older, retired saint.
Wu Qiudao just wanted to moisten it off as soon as possible and didn't want to cause trouble, so he said to Xiu Niang: "Xiu Niang, if it's inconvenient, we don't have to go in, right? Anyway, I can see the afterglow of the sun's fire, so it's a worthwhile trip for me.
!”
"It's okay." Xiu Niang patted Wu Qiudao's hand, "The Temple of Our Lady of Xiancan is open to all clan members. Since the clan rules do not say that outsiders are not allowed to enter, then I can bring my benefactor in."
"How can there be such a truth? In our Xiling clan, no outsider has ever entered the Holy Mother Temple for thousands of years!" the saint said anxiously.
The embroiderer smiled: "Then let's break this routine today. What's the harm? Anyway, I am the current 'Silkworm Saint', so whatever I say is fine!"
Wu Qiudao looked slightly sideways, what's going on with this sudden domineering display? By the way, has the relationship between men and women been reversed since just now?
However, the Xiling clan has always favored girls over boys, and is led by the mistress. It seems normal for her to take the initiative in launching a strategy, right?
Before Wu Qiudao could turn this corner, Xiu Niang had already used the authority of the current saint to override those "expired" saints, and forcibly led Wu Qiudao into the Notre Dame Temple.
The deal is done, the matter is at this point, Wu Qiudao doesn't want to think about things that won't offend others. Anyway, in the eyes of those people, he is just a "naked insect", and it is impossible to please anyone.
Wu Qiudao walked forward slowly, admiring the unique aesthetic style of the Xiling clan accumulated over thousands of years.
The buildings of the Xiling family inherited the Han system and had remnants of ancient times. Although they were both grand and grand, compared to the Tang style, the Han style was more primitive and rough, and the structures used were simpler.
In particular, the entire Xiancan Notre Dame Temple is built on the Tongtian Sacred Tree, without any major excavation work on the trunk itself. Instead, it uses an architectural style that respects and conforms to nature, highlighting the temperament of the unity of nature and man.
Come.
However, there are two unique Han-style gates at the entrance of the wall. The so-called gates are actually developed from the watchtowers on both sides of the gap in the ancient wall gate. Together with the "flying pavilion" in the sky corridor, the gates make the entire gate look Han-style.
The wind is strong, unique and dynamic.
Walking into the temple gate, the overall architecture of the Xiancan Notre Dame Temple is mainly built with platforms, the roof ridge is straight and short, and the materials used are mainly wood, as well as bricks and stones.
In the main hall, there sat a statue of the Virgin with a spider body and a human face. It was wrapped with gold foil, silver foil and other precious metals. It looked very graceful and luxurious. Even the alien feeling brought to Wu Qiudao by the spider's lower abdomen was greatly eliminated.
Xiu Niang told Wu Qiudao that among the people of Shu, including women, weavers, divination masters, silkworm farmers, Yakshas, Rakshasas, Feitian, Kinnara and elves, the belief in Our Lady of Silkworms was widely spread.
In the common belief of the Yan people on the surface, the Virgin Mary of the Ancient Silkworms has gradually entered thousands of households. "Han Riyi" records: "The Northern Qi Dynasty first worshiped Luo Zu, the concubine of the Yellow Emperor Yuan Dynasty, as the goddess of the ancestors of silkworms, in order to be compatible with women."
Wu Qiudao nodded casually. He didn't pay much attention to these weird ancient obscene rituals, but turned to look at other architectural contents in the temple.
The holy emblem of Our Lady of Silkworms is hung everywhere on the walls of the temple: a black spider hanging from a spider web.
He raised his head and looked at the roofs, verandahs, hanging mountains, tunding, Zanjian, and Xieshan. The large number of wooden structures showed simplicity, solemnity, and a sense of hierarchy.
The buildings, beams, rafters, couplets, lintels, and windows are carved with various vivid images of horned dragons, galloping tigers, cowbirds, flat chilies, white deer, cunning rabbits, bears, etc.
Xiu Niang pointed to the murals on the wall and introduced them to Wu Qiudao. These were the life stories of Lei Zu, the legendary ancestor of Silkworm Empress. The muralist used fine brushes to depict scenes from ancient times.
In ancient times, the three kings of Shu were deified and immortal, and the people of Shu were divided into three tribes.
This paragraph is all about the ancestors of the ancient Shu people, Cancong, Boliang and Yufu, who taught the Shu people. Later, the internal struggles of the ancient Shu tribes gave rise to many Shu people clans. The Xiling clan gradually changed into the current shape of a spider body and a human face.
, and settled under the Tongtian Sacred Tree, establishing the Xiling Ancient Kingdom.
Lei Zu was born after a colorful phoenix fell into his arms, Lei Zu practiced weaving silk and making webs, insects dropped from the sky with cocoons and turned into silk, weaving silk ridge caught a fishing shuttle in his noon dream, Zixiaping experimented with raising silkworms, people making grass to drive away birds, and meeting fairy cats
We eliminated rats, invented the silk reeling car when encountering a cyclone, and built a silk reeling house in Shuisi Mountain.
These are the processes Lei Zu took from his childhood until he discovered celestial insects, raised silkworms, and continued to advance silk weaving technology.
Lei Zu of Xiling presented silk clothes, saw the silk Xuanyuan went to the west, the Yellow Emperor accepted Yuan Fei in the Xiling Tomb, the clothes fell from the mountain, and the second uncle of Jin shot the Yellow Emperor.
This is an ancient love story about the acquaintance between Lei Zu and Emperor Xuanyuan, and it is also mixed with many war scenes in which the Xiong family conquers the world.
"What is this?" Wu Qiudao was attracted by a long text, which seemed to be the original text of the "Nature Sutra" taught to him by Xiu Niang in the mine.
"Oh, this is the mural of "The Yellow Emperor Asks Guangchengzi"." The embroiderer said with a smile.
