Daqin: I was heard by Zulong at the beginning

Chapter 188 Su Chen, The Backstage Is Hard

If Su Chen remembers correctly, the Caolouguan and the Lecture Platform are actually the Louguantai of later generations.

For thousands of years, the Caolou Temple and the lectern have always been the places that the emperor's family valued very much.

A group of people live at the foot of the mountain first, and the place where they live will not be very luxurious.

But Yingzheng can live, and other delicate and frail people must also live happily.

In order to worship the moon, wild onions, cornus and other strong flavors should not be eaten in the first three days, and the meals are mainly steamed and boiled.

After Su Chen ate a few meals, she felt as if she wanted to suffocate.

He really wanted to say that this was a feudal superstition and there was no need for sacrifice at all.

If you really want to sacrifice, eat and drink well, and everyone will be happy together.

But he only dared to think so, not dare to say so.

When the autumnal equinox finally arrived, Su Chen was happier than others.

Fu Su only understood when he participated in the moon sacrifice for the first time and asked about it. Su Chen was just happy that it could finally end.

Fusu asked about loneliness, and continued to climb up the mountain silently.

Yes, people at this time are still very religious.

There is no one who sits on a sedan chair like the later generations.

It doesn't matter whether you are an emperor or a three-year-old child, as long as you decide to come, you have to climb by yourself.

How can one cheat on the way to God?
Su Chen had already walked around the forest several times while no one was paying attention.

There are indeed walnuts, not only walnuts, but all kinds of herbs, wild flowers.

Trees, forests, and birdsong are all exactly the same as in later generations.

Yes, human vocalizations change, but birdsong has remained the same for thousands of years.

Su Chen looked up at the passers-by, and at the surrounding trees and flowers.

For a moment, he didn't know if this was filming in later generations, or if he was really living in ancient times.

Although Lao Tzu is no longer here, but because it is the place where he lectures, he met several Taoist priests along the way.

They all stood far away, unable to approach or leave without authorization.

After the large troops leave, they can move freely.

At this time, Taoist priests dressed like ordinary people, or ordinary people said that they were similar to Taoist priests.

The mountain people stood together with the Taoist priest, and no one could tell who was the undercover agent.

Anyway, they are very different from the clothes of later generations.

The reason why Su Chen knew they were Taoist priests was because someone else told them.

A group of people finally arrived at the Caolouguan. They took a rest in the Caolouguan first, and then they could directly reach the lecture platform through a shortcut.

In the Caolou Temple, an old Taoist preached to Ying Zheng, which was probably the first step in offering sacrifices to the moon.

First use Taoism to cleanse his soul, so that when worshiping the moon, he can fully comply with the natural laws of Taoism.

Su Chen thought of later generations, Taoism gradually weakened, but foreign Buddhism flourished.

And Buddhism is very smart, or very tolerant.

The entire feudal dynasty followed Confucianism, and Buddhism also communicated very harmoniously with Confucianism.

Those noble sons and romantic talents of the feudal dynasty, who didn't know how many became eminent monks?
Which one doesn't incorporate some Buddhist thought into the poems?

But they all agreed not to mention Taoism.

why?Because Taoism is not willing to succumb to any powerful person at all.

Taoists just want to live themselves well, live themselves like individuals.

Confucianism teaches all living beings to learn to surrender, Buddhism teaches all living beings to learn to be patient, and the next reincarnation will be better.

Only Taoism is pure and arrogant, and would rather be a man on the mountain than a slave on the mountain.

This was unbearable for the feudal dynasty.So Taoism has been unable to flourish.

But Taoism has never stopped its continuation.

It's really strange, Chinese people are used to working hard, but there are still some people who don't believe in fate.

Instead of learning Buddhism, which is easier to be liked by others, they choose Taoism.

It can be seen that all Chinese people hope not to be anyone's slaves, but to live a serious life.

Until later generations, there are still many Taoist priests on Nanshan Mountain.

Some are in a semi-hidden state, entering the mountains in autumn and summer as Taoism, and entering the world in winter and spring.

Some directly return to the mountains and forests to be self-sufficient.

Su Chen remembered a young couple who entered Nanshan after graduating from university.

They weave their own cloth, generate electricity with power, grow vegetables and food on the mountain, and cook with fire.

The days are also very happy.

Su Chen felt that in his current situation, he would be born in a matter of minutes.

There are good geographical environments to choose from everywhere.

Because it is the autumnal equinox to worship the moon, the time has to be at night.

Fortunately, the autumnal equinox is close to the full moon, and the moon is on the treetops early.

The fortune teller calculated the time when the moon would rise, two hours in advance, and a group of people set off again to go to the lectern.

Today is not a day to worship the moon, but to run errands.

It is finally possible to offer sacrifices to the moon, which is slightly different from the last time Fusu was in Xianyang City.

At least there is not such a wide road for Ying Zheng to walk.

However, there should be no less.

Ritual and music poems, desk sacrifices and so on.

You also have to sue the heavens and talk to the moon god.

Until Yingzheng finished singing, I felt that the moon god heard it, and it was over.

Although it wasn't long after nightfall, the mountains were no more than a crowded area after all.

As soon as the sun set, all the little animals quickly returned to their nests.

Ying Zheng's sacrificial sacrifice was like stabbing the ears of all the small animals.

For a while, the mountains and forests will be noisy and quieter for a while, and it really feels a little bit of man and nature.

After Yingzheng finished offering sacrifices, everything was silent, the mountain wind blew, and the forest rustled.

There is really a feeling of autumn sorrow in it, which makes people sad and bitter.

This feeling seems to have infected many people. After the sacrifice, everyone walked back quietly with their heads down.

There are torches to illuminate the road brightly, and the light makes people's eyes have sustenance in the dark night.

Everyone's mood gradually improved again.

After finally returning to the Caolou Temple, a group of people rested separately, and then returned with Ying Zheng's chariot and horses the next morning.

As soon as he returned to the Su residence, the fortune teller came in.

Su Chen almost forgot about this person, the master who was with them in disaster relief.

Seeing Su Chen, the fortune teller smiled gently: "Master Su, the moon sacrifice is over, don't you celebrate?"

Su Chen smiled, "It's hard for Master to remember the word 'celebrate'."

The fortune teller didn't care whether Su Chen's words meant anything, he only knew that Su Chen would definitely do other good things.

He was not mistaken, Su Chen did plan to make mooncakes.

The months here are counted by the stems and branches, so Su Chen will not be able to figure out which day the Mid-Autumn Festival is.

It can only be seen by the moon in the sky.If yesterday's moon was close to full, then today is the Mid-Autumn Festival.

In order not to miss it, Su Chen made a lot of mooncakes in advance.

There are five kernels - but there is no green red silk and rock sugar, and I don't want to add it.

There are also egg yolk, bean paste, and so on.

Thanks to the system's feeding, he doesn't have to rack his brains to figure out how to make bean paste.

So on the third night after the end of the moon sacrifice, the Su residence.

Su Chen led Man Man, Fu Su, the fortune-teller and all the attendants from Su's residence, and set up tables in the courtyard to enjoy the moon and eat mooncakes.

This is the first real festival he has traveled across.

He already has a small family, an apprentice, friends who are not very reliable, and a group of loyal subordinates.

Of course, it can also be understood as: he has the most talented woman in the world as his wife, the emperor as his father-in-law, the prince as his apprentice, and a respected master as his friend——

Who has such a hard background?Who dares to have it!
