Li Huguo rode forward in person, taking Tang Ji's master and servant to prepare to go to Niutoushan to worship their ancestors.
When we reached the mountainside, it was already night, so there was a temple nearby. Tang Ji said: "General, we have been traveling for a day now. We are tired and our horses are tired. It is better to go to the nearest temple." , how about staying overnight?”
When Li Yuguo heard this, he also felt hungry. He carried dry food and drank sweet spring water all day long. Although it was said that it could satisfy his hunger, how could he really get hot noodles? He immediately dismounted and said, "Okay, let's have a rest."
When he arrived at the temple, Li Yuguo discovered that the temple was dedicated to Houtu Empress. This Houtu Empress has basically disappeared in later generations, and few people know about it. After all, she is not as famous as Nuwa Empress. In fact, In this era, Nuwa and Houtu are two very popular goddesses in the world today.
Li Yuguo also saw this temple for the first time. He was curious and wanted to go in and have a look. He knew Nuwa very well and knew that Nuwa was called the Emperor Wa and was the god of nature who created everything. It is said that she can create seventy things a day. Of course, people are also on the list, everything is changed by it, when she makes things with clay and transforms things, she is also called the first mother and the mother of all living things, so Nuwa is the god of creation. Her status was not inferior to that of Pangu, but later society was dominated by male power, and Nuwa's deity in the matriarchal society soon weakened.
This Houtu Empress also comes from the ancient matriarchal society. Human beings worshiped land and women. Hou refers to women and soil refers to the earth, so they call the earth their mother and offer sacrifices to her to reward her selfless dedication. The land is what people call Jiangshan Sheji, in which Sheji means the land god, that is, Houtu. It can be seen that worshiping Houtu is an important act of the country in the past dynasties.
Nowadays, although Empress Houtu is still there, temples in the world are becoming increasingly rare. The Taoist priests inside are all very special. They are all female Taoist priests. When Li Yuguo went in and saw them, he was shocked and speechless.
The female Taoist priests in this temple are all of outstanding beauty. Although they are wearing Taoist robes, their beauty is hidden under the robes. Each of them is as beautiful as Mei Wu Qunfang of Dong Thief.
After parking the carriage, Tang Ji and Xianglan also walked in. After Tang Ji nodded to the female Taoist priests at the door, the female Taoist priests also blinked at her. At this time, a middle-aged female Taoist walked over. , it seemed that her charm was still there, she smiled slightly.
Li Yuguo was amazed by the people here. He said that the female Taoist priest in front of him looked to be in her early thirties, but she had fair skin and delicate facial features, especially her pair of peach blossom eyes and expressive eyebrows. Li Yuguo couldn't resist what he saw and quickly opened his eyes. , looked towards a statue: "Taoist priest, we and three other people came here to stay for the night and wanted to chat. After all, in this barren mountain and wild land, there is no village, no shop, no place to live, and everywhere They are all wild beasts, so I don’t mind them, but I have two women with me.”
The female Taoist bowed her head and said: "The poor Taoist, whose name is Xiujin, is the mother here, oh no... the manager. Early this morning, I got a divination, saying that a noble person came to stay for the night. The poor Taoist was wondering, what did the noble man say? He hasn't come here yet, but now that the benefactor has appeared, Pindao is sure that the noble person Pindao is waiting for is the benefactor."
"Xiu Jin?" Li Yuguo was very surprised, and secretly wondered why this Buddhist name was the same as the pseudonym in the Kabuki Academy, and it was Xiu Jin. The name was full of imagination.
Looking inside again, I saw that there was no group of female Taoists here. They were clearly a group of pretty girls. The entire Taoist temple was also beautifully decorated. I am afraid no one would believe it if it was said to be a Taoist temple.
Because there is a hot spring in this Taoist temple, which is filled with flower petals, and there are bursts of charming smiles coming from inside. The surrounding doorposts are hung with red satin, which looks full of celebration. The female Taoist here Although she is said to be a female Taoist, she is wearing a tight plain-colored robe. Her shoulders, waist and long legs are all displayed without any reservation, giving the yard an air of dust.
Furthermore, the female Taoist's eyes here were also very unfriendly. To put it simply, she was like a fishhook. Li Hugo seemed to have become a fish, the target of the fishhooks, which made him feel uncomfortable. of.
"This is what the Houtu Empress Temple is like. Nowadays, the world is in chaos, and everything is like a rotten dog. Human beings, and women even more so. And Houtu Empress, who originated from the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, is also the goddess in the hearts of most women. Many women have experienced injustice in the world. , so I pray here for blessings." said the female Taoist Priest.
Li Yuguo nodded, thinking that every place has its own rules, and there was no need for him to go into details. At this time, a female Taoist came over and said, "Almsgiver, male and female guests are separated, so I am led by a poor Taoist." You go to your accommodation.”
"Thank you, by the way, this is the incense money." Li Yuguo said, taking a piece of silver.
The female Taoist was not polite: "Thank you very much, donor. The poor Taoist will accept it on behalf of Empress Houtu."
When Li Yuguo left with the female guide, Tang Ji said: "General, go and rest first. We will be on our way early tomorrow morning. Xianglan and I have also rested now. They said they would give us dinner in the evening."
"Okay." Li Yuguo came to the room without thinking, but found that the facilities in the guest room were still quite good at this time, and the furniture and other items were still new. Li Yuguo thought that most women come to this place, and men rarely come. , which makes everything here so new.
There was also a strange fragrance in the air. It turned out that an incense burner was lit on the Eight Immortals table. The smoke in the incense burner slowly rose, adding a unique color to the quiet room.
Not long after, someone brought tea and rice. There was no wine here, only simple meals. Li Huguo felt quite disappointed, but it was hard to say anything. After all, this was their territory. Without thinking, the female Taoist took out another food box. She said: "The lady asked someone to send this to you."
Li Yuguo took a look and saw, wasn't this what Tang Ji asked Xianglan to buy when they were at the bottom of the mountain? It turned out that they were all meat food. After sending the female road away, Li Yuguo put these big fish and meat on the table. He couldn't laugh or cry. The discovery was that they were all kidneys.
There are beef kidneys, sheep kidneys, pig kidneys, chicken kidneys, duck kidneys, etc., as well as many nourishing plants. There is also a note underneath: "Thank you for your hard work, general. When I came here, I knew there was a Taoist temple here. I was afraid." The General is not used to vegetarian meals, so I asked Pandan to prepare famous local delicacies for you, but don’t let those female Taoists see it.”
Li Yuguo didn't have any doubts in his heart, because since Tang Ji knew the way here, she naturally knew that there was a temple here, and it was really considerate to prepare so many delicious food for herself in advance.
