Chapter 258: Shennong Statue
"Senior Sister Yuan, why don't we stay and take a look. Fang Zixuan proposed.
"Okay, I haven't seen such a big worship scene before, could it be that the group of people just now were preparing for the worship?" Yuan Zihan asked.
"It's great that Senior Sister Yuan and Senior Brother Fang can stay. Senior Sister Yuan was right, those people were cleaning the road between the east gate and the statue of Shennong just now, and the beginning of winter five days later was the official worship ceremony. The woman said.
At this time, Fang Zixuan saw a bunch of people walking not far away, among them a man was wearing a gorgeous costume with a majestic demeanor.
It's just that those people didn't come forward, but stopped at a distance of five zhang, and Fang Zixuan saw that except for the man in the fancy clothes who could keep his composure, the rest of the people were trembling slightly.
Hehe, am I considered a fox and a fake tiger? Because Fang Zixuan knew why those people were trembling, mortals dared to approach a demon beast, this was already a great courage, at the beginning of Erhe Village, wasn't there only one Ma Guizhi who dared to come forward?
The six people also noticed those people behind them at this time, so they turned sideways, and one of them said to Fang Zixuan: "Senior Brother Fang, this is the city lord of Spring Glory City, Cao Gao. โ
Then, he said to the middle-aged man: "City Lord Cao, this is Senior Sister Yuan Zihan Yuan and Senior Brother Fang Zixuan Fang of Qingyun Sect, and this Red Spotted Tiger is also a disciple of our Qingyun Sect, Senior Brother Tiger Spirit Fire Tiger." City Lord Cao, you don't have to worry, Senior Brother Hu is now our fellow disciple and doesn't eat people. โ
Hearing this, Cao Gao walked to a place half a zhang away in front of Fang Zixuan, clasped his fists and saluted: "Cao Gao has seen three masters of the Qingyun Sect. โ
Fang Zixuan cupped his fists and saluted: "City Lord Cao doesn't have to be polite, just now I told the six junior brothers and sisters that the three of us want to stay and watch the Shennong Festival in your city, I don't know if it's convenient?"
What Fang Zixuan meant by this was actually to help Hu Linghuo ask.
Cao Gao naturally understood what Fang Zixuan meant, so he said: "It is our honor for the three masters to stay and watch our Shennong sacrifice, how can it be inconvenient." โ
This Cao Gao is also a courageous person, although he is still a little afraid of the tiger spirit fire in his heart, but after seeing these six Qingyunmen disciples talking and laughing in front of this giant tiger Fang Zixuan and Yuan Zihan as usual, and this giant tiger has not made any radical moves so far, it must be as they said, the giant tiger does not eat people, not to mention, if this giant tiger wants to eat people, with the current situation, he and others will not be able to stop it from entering the city, since this is the case, why stop it, if you evil these Qingyunmen disciples, it will be a big bad thing for yourselfใ
"Don't worry, Lord Cao, the spiritual fire won't cause you trouble, you say yes, spiritual fire. Fang Zixuan said with a smile.
The Tiger Spirit Fire lit its massive head, and then let out a low roar.
"City Lord Cao, rest assured, Senior Brother Tiger is psychic, not comparable to those tigers who only have beastly nature. The female disciple said.
Cao Gao saw that the Tiger Spirit Fire was indeed psychic, and Fang Zixuan and the others had repeatedly assured him, so he was a little relieved: "Since this is the case, then please invite the nine masters to enter the city with me." โ
After speaking. Cao Gao said to the people behind him, "Go and call people back to continue cleaning." โ
A man dressed as a soldier replied, "Yes, lord of the city. โ
After saying that, the man turned around and ran in the direction of the city gate, and soon, the man shouted loudly: "Everyone, those three are also the masters of Qingyun Gate, don't worry, please continue to come back and clean the road." โ
When those people heard this, they slowly moved their steps in the direction of the Shennong statue and continued the unfinished cleaning work just now.
"City Lord Cao, I wonder if it's convenient to take us to see the statue of Shennong?" Fang Zixuan asked.
"Of course, my lords, please. Cao Gao laughed.
So, Cao Gao took Fang Zixuan and others to a place ten zhang away from the front of the Shennong statue, because the Shennong statue was really tall, so he could only walk far away.
"Fang Shang, this statue of Shennong has been standing here since the day the city was built, and it has been 180,000 years now. Cao Gao said.
180,000 years ago, that is, the previous era, the White Tiger Era was established, and if you were to change it to yourself, this statue is definitely a priceless cultural relic.
The epoch roughly corresponds to the general chronology of the sexagenary branches, which is 600,000 years as an epoch. The first epoch began from the Qinglong era, and according to the symbiotic relationship, it was the Suzaku era, the Huanglin era, the White Tiger era, and the Xuanwu era. The end of an epoch is three million years.
Fang Zixuan and Yuan Zihan looked up at the huge statue of Shennong in front of them: this is a statue of a man standing facing east, there is a large high platform in front of him, I saw him with a cloak of hair, two horns on the top of his head, thick eyebrows and big eyes, a thick beard under his mouth, and a piece of animal skin on his body and waist, although his appearance looks a little strange, but it gives people a sense of peace and kindness. His left hand and right hand are bent forward, in his left hand, he is holding five grains, and in his right hand, he is holding a book, and on the side of the book is written "Shennong's Materia Medica" five big characters, and there is a herb on the book, Fang Zixuan recognized that it is a licorice, as for why it is licorice and not Shennong grass, this is probably because the city of Chunyu is inhabited by mortals, and the licorice they use is naturally the licorice in the medicine, not the Shennong grass in the elixir. It seems that this is a metaphor for Shennong's greatest contribution to the Five Elements Continent: farming and herbal medicine.
In the late autumn sunlight, this statue of Shennong seems to emit a faint light.
Fang Zixuan tidied up the clothes on his body, and then slammed it to the ground against the statue of Shennong.
Shennong's contribution is definitely worthy of everyone's respect!
Seeing Fang Zixuan's movements, Yuan Zihan also followed Fang Zixuan's example, tidied up his clothes and then slammed into the statue of Shennong.
Cao Gao and the people behind him saw Fang Zixuan and Yuan Zihan's movements, and a wave of emotion surged in their hearts: As the master of Qingyun Gate, if he can pay such a heavy salute to an ordinary Shennong statue, he must be a good person.
"Masters, why don't we go back first, and then come back to worship on the beginning of winter five days later. I've got a banquet ready for you. Cao Gao said.
"Then there is the city lord of Laocao. Fang Zixuan said.
"Don't dare, that's my pleasure, Ladies and Gentlemen, please. Cao Gao said.
So, Cao Gao, Fang Zixuan and others walked side by side into the Spring Leap City.
On the way, the people who cleaned looked at the red giant tiger from a closer distance, but fortunately, the tiger spirit fire restrained his breath at this time, so these people did not cause a lot of panic.
"Tsk, this tiger is huge, much bigger than anything I've ever seen in the mountains. โ
"You say, how many people can it eat in one bite?"
"Bah, you're talking like that. โ
"The Supreme is the Supreme One, even such a powerful tiger demon beast can be subdued, and it is really not comparable to mortals like us. We can't even submit to a normal tiger. โ
"Mother, this tiger's fur looks so beautiful and smooth. โ
"Just look at it, don't go up, otherwise you will anger the master, and it won't be a joke. โ
"But I really want to go up and touch it. โ
"Dad, so am I. โ
As they spoke, several children expressed the same wishes. And their father and mother hurriedly hugged these children, for fear that they would really rush forward.
