My years as a fortune teller

Yuncheng is named after the "City of Salt Transport". It is the southern gate of Shanxi, and it was called Hedong in ancient times.Yuncheng is the hometown of Guan Yu, the famous Shu Han general of the Three Kingdoms. It is located at the junction of Shanxi, Shanxi and Henan provinces. It is bordered by Luliang Mountain in the north and Linfen City, Zhongtiao Mountain in the east and Jincheng City, and Weinan City in Shaanxi Province and Henan Province in the west and south. Sanmenxia City faces each other across the Yellow River.

Yuncheng has a long history and is the ancestral root of human and Chinese culture.This is the origin of human beings, the place where humans used fire for the first time, the place where humans first ate salt, began smelting and farming civilization, and it is the place where Chinese ancestors first gathered and lived. There is a saying that "Yuncheng can be seen in 5000 years of civilization".Yuncheng is the birthplace of "clothing, food, housing and transportation" and the birthplace of "qinqi, calligraphy and painting".The source of the earliest Chinese poetry anthology "The Book of Songs" and the source of the ancient pre-Qin book "Shan Hai Jing" are all in Yuncheng.

This place can be regarded as a land of outstanding people. There are many heroes and sages, princes and generals, and there are many generations.What Jin Wengong Chonger, Changyi, Sima Qian, Xun Kuang, Guan Yu, Guo Pu, Wang Bo, Wang Wei, Liu Zongyuan, Xue Rengui, etc. all came from this place.

My first stop after coming to Yuncheng was to visit and worship at Guandi Temple in Jiezhou.Jiezhou Guandi Temple is located in Xiguan, Xiezhou Town, Yuncheng City, Shanxi Province; it is adjacent to Yinhu Lake (Salt Pond) in the north and faces Zhongtiao Mountain, with beautiful scenery.It is said that Changping Village, 10 kilometers southeast of Jiezhou, is Guan Yu's hometown.Therefore, this temple has the title of the ancestor of the national martial arts temple.In Song and Ming Dynasties, there were expansions and reconstructions here.However, the old temple was destroyed by fire during the Kangxi period, and the current ones were rebuilt during the Qing Dynasty.

The main building in the main temple is grand in scale and extraordinary in momentum, with carved beams and painted buildings, solemn and solemn, immersive.On the east side of the southern end of the central axis, there is a stone archway of "Wan Dai Zhan Yang", and on the west side of the southern end of the central axis, there is a wooden archway of "Megatron Huaxia".

In the third year of Chongnian in the Northern Song Dynasty (AD 1104), Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty conferred Guan Yu as "Chongning Zhenjun", so the main hall here is called Chongning Hall.In front of the hall, there are green pines and cypresses, lush and lush, with a pair of Shi Hua watches, two burning watch towers, and a pair of iron flagpoles.In the hall, there is a horizontal plaque with the word "Shen Yong" written in the handwriting of Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty.Under the eaves, there is a plaque of "Wan Shi Ren Ji", which was written by Emperor Xianfeng.The following are three Qinglong Yanyue knives, weighing 300 jins. There is also a copper incense table and a pair of iron cranes at the door to show majesty.The wooden shrine in the hall is exquisite and exquisite, and the seated statue of Guan Yu dressed as an emperor is carved inside, brave and resolute, with a dignified and solemn demeanor.Outside the niche are carved beams and painted buildings, ceremonial guards leaning on columns, wooden carved clouds and dragons and gold pillars, coiled from bottom to top, with ferocious glaring eyes, and the two prime ministers intersect to show Guan Yu's heroism.There is a horizontal plaque in Kangxi's handwriting "Yi Bing Qian Kun" on the niche, which adds to the solemn atmosphere of Chongning Hall.

Go out through the Chongning Hall, enter the south gate of the harem, and then enter the bedroom. After passing the flower garden, there is the "Qi Su Qianqiu" archway, which is the tallest wooden archway on the central axis.On the east side is the Yin Tower, which houses the model of the "Han Shouting Hou" jade seal, and on the west side is the Dao Tower, which houses the model of the Qinglong Yanyue Dao.The two buildings face each other, and it is a square three-story cross-shaped building on the top of the mountain.There is also an inscription of "Master Han, Wind and Rain, Bamboo", which uses bamboo to hide poems, and the poem says, "Don't think that the lonely leaves are light, and they will not wither after a long time. Thank you Dongjun for your kindness, Danqing has left its name alone."Legend has it that it was written by Guan Yu.

At the back of the harem is the Spring and Autumn Building, the masterpiece of Guandi Temple. It is hidden among towering ancient trees and famous flowers and plants. It stands tall and majestic.In the building, there is a picture of Guan Yu reading "Spring and Autumn", hence the name. "Spring and Autumn" is also called "Lin Jing", so it is also called Lin Jing Pavilion.

After visiting these places, I found a shady place to sit and rest.At this time, an old man came over, dressed like a staff member of the temple.The old man hurried past me with a broom in his hand.

At first I didn't pay attention to the old man, who was about to drink some mineral water with a bottle.Unexpectedly, the old man came back suddenly, looked me up and down, looked at my face, and nodded slightly.

What's wrong with this old man, is his head cramping or something wrong with his cervical spine?Look at me like that, like there's something on me.Thinking of this, I stood up, walked over and bowed and said, "The old man went and came back, is there something dirty on me?"

When the old man saw my salute, he immediately said to me: "Young man, you are a Taoist child! Looking at your salute and the aura on your body, I can feel that you have worshiped a famous teacher and received guidance."

What the old man said surprised me. Although I unintentionally practiced Taoist rituals, few people can see it now. The old man not only saw it, but also said that my aura is very strong.This kind of puzzles me, because I have never felt that my aura is strong.

The old man saw me surprised, and said with a smile: "I used to be a Taoist priest, but I was kicked out of the Taoist temple after ten years of turmoil. But I still remember what I learned back then. When I am old, I come here to do some good deeds. Accumulate a little virtue for yourself. I see a lot of people coming and going here, so I can see what kind of person you are at a glance."

I suddenly realized, and heard the old man say: "Young man, I see that there is a cloud of black air between your brows. I am afraid that something bad will happen in the near future. You are a practitioner, and I am not I won’t give you any talismans, and I won’t tell you to ask for a lottery. If you have any unsolvable problems in the future, you can come here to find me. The next time you come here, just ask the old man Guan who sweeps the floor.” After finishing speaking, the old man turned towards I nodded, dropped the broom and left in a daze.

After the old man walked for a long time, I woke up.If someone usually tells me this kind of thing, and then asks me to ask for a lottery, I just ignore it.But today the old man didn't say that. Could it be that something bad is going to happen to me?

Forget it, wait until I go out and find a place to live.Ask for a hexagram at that time, maybe everything will come out.Thinking of this, I drank two sips of mineral water and walked out of Guandi Temple with my luggage. I wanted to find a place to rest, or I had to go back to the city.

But to be honest, I don't want to stay in a hotel at all.Although the hotel is very convenient, the environment is not what I want after all, so I want to find a private house, preferably for ten days or so.

Back in the urban area of ​​Yuncheng, I went to eat a Baojing mutton noodles Dadao mutton noodles first.There are many delicacies in Yuncheng, such as Wenxi boiled cakes, siu mai, Jishan twist, "three-handed" hard noodle buns, haggis cutting, Ruicheng hemp slices, Jinnan steamed bowls, Ruicheng Yangcheng braised pork and so on.All my favorite foods!

The Dadao noodles are completely different from those eaten in Shaanxi in the past. The fresh and tender meat and mutton soup are poured on the thin noodles, and then served with the rice vinegar brewed by the owner himself, or pure old Shanxi vinegar.That taste can be described as this taste should only come from heaven!

After eating the sour and fragrant Baojing Dadao mutton noodles.I walked slowly on the streets of the old city, and there would be a small sign on the door of the residents here, reminding whether there is a house for rent here, and what kind of house is for rent.

After walking for a long time, I finally found a small yard in a remote alley.It may be because this place is relatively remote and there are fewer people coming, the green brick road in the alley is covered with dust.Even on the courtyard door of this house, there are some dust and spiders.

I wanted to look for it in another courtyard in the alley, but there was no sign on the door.It seems that I can only live here first. Thinking of this, I reached out and knocked on the door a few times. I didn't expect that no one came out, but the door opened by itself.

The owner of this house is too careless, why doesn't he know how to lock the door, even if someone is at home during the day, what if a thief or robber enters without locking the door?Although I thought so, I still pushed open the courtyard door a little, and then stepped in with one foot, ready to ask if there was anyone inside.

But before I yelled, I heard someone behind me yell, "Be careful! There are dogs inside!" As soon as I heard this, I hurriedly stopped my feet and was about to exit the yard.But it was already too late, a big pure black dog rushed out with a roar.

Damn!My life is over!Why do people still have such a vicious dog in their home now?Now that I have a dog, I should keep it on an iron chain. This is not killing me.Just thinking the dog has pounced on it...
