Chapter 443: Pragmatism in the Human World and the Divine World

Yang Lingyue finished the interview, shook hands with the leaders and said goodbye, then left the venue.

In the car in the parking lot, Zeng Li saw her boyfriend get in the car and said, "Why did it take so long?"

Yang Lingyue gestured to leave and said, "It's okay. The leader has been speaking for less than 10 minutes."

Zeng Li was speechless about her boyfriend's nonsense.

The two did not go to watch Yang Wenchang's torch relay in Changfeng Street. The street office did not welcome them, which would easily distract the audience.

After returning home, the two went into the kitchen and prepared meals. Because they were leaving in the afternoon, they made a meal for their parents. After all, except for breakfast yesterday, they ate outside.

At noon, they had dinner with relatives and friends at Binhe Weidao, which was Yang Lingyue's thank-you banquet and Zeng Li's first relatively formal meeting as a girlfriend.

Although neither of them cared much about people's evaluation, they always had to consider their parents, just like Yang Lingyue's performance in Shashi.

Zeng Li's thoroughness and generosity won everyone's praise. In addition to her words and deeds, the gifts in the trunk were naturally indispensable.

In the evening, they went to her uncle's house. Zeng Li promised Yang Lingyue's cousin Liu Tiantian to be her assistant after the college entrance examination next year to earn pocket money, and everyone was happy again.

At noon, Yang Wenchang and Liu Qingna came in with smiles on their faces, holding a box of torches in their hands.

Yang Lingyue put a plate of braised prawns on the table and said, "It's just right, wash your hands and eat."

During the meal, Liu Qingna asked about Tan Jing.

"I invited her. She just came back from Sichuan Province. She hasn't seen her parents for a long time and went back to Houma."

Liu Qingna looked regretful, just like a fan.

"I'll ask for a signed album for you. I'll give it to you when I return to Beijing. I'll bring it back to you then."

Hearing her son say this, Liu Qingna became happy again.

Yang Wenchang asked at this time: "Why don't you release an album? I see you have sung a lot of songs."

Yang Lingyue said: "You want to give it away, but I took back so many movie discs and tapes."

"Only two, and who has nothing to do to watch movies every day."

"Okay, wait for me to collect some, make a batch and bring it back to you."

Yang Lingyue naturally wanted to satisfy his father's "self-funded book" mentality.

As soon as the voice fell, the eyes of the parents turned to Zeng Li.

Zeng Li smiled and said: "Uncle and aunt, he only wrote three songs for me. If you don't mind, I will record some Peking Opera excerpts and make an album."

So the pressure returned to Yang Lingyue.

"Mom and Dad, don't make it difficult for me. Even if I can still write, Zeng Li is the chairman now. How can I have so much time to practice and record songs?"

Zeng Li's Tai Chi skills are obviously not shallow. She chuckled and said: "It doesn't matter. I can practice during my rest time. Besides, I will return to school in the second half of the year, and I will have more time."

Yang Lingyue smiled.

"I'll release an album, which can not only be given as a gift, but will also sell a lot, so I won't lose money."

Yang Wenchang watched the two of them quipping, and was too lazy to participate.

Liu Qingna was different, and immediately said: "Yang Lingyue, are you obsessed with money? Li Zi, Auntie supports you, Auntie has money, and I believe your album will definitely sell well, there are many people in the world who can write songs."

Zeng Li blinked and said with emotion: "Thank you, Auntie, you are so kind to me, I will ask for songs later."

Yang Lingyue had to admit defeat: "That won't work, you can only sing the songs I wrote."

Zeng Li glanced at her boyfriend proudly.

Yang Wenchang couldn't stand it anymore, and coughed lightly: "You should rest for a while after dinner before leaving."

Liu Qingna said: "Li Zi is going to Guandi Temple, so let's leave early."

Yang Lingyue thought about it, but still didn't expose his father's intention to drive them away.

Really, it's just a show of affection, it's rare for us to return to the stage of bickering and flirting before, it's so subtle, and it's still not okay.

Yang Lingyue and Zeng Li looked at each other and laughed at the same time.

Speaking of songs, Yang Lingyue has sung only a few songs since "The Wind Rises", and they are all about movies.

The interlude of "The Last Run": "Where Has Time Gone";

The interlude of "Li Mi's Guess": "The Only One" (two versions);

The ending song of "One Thought of Ignorance": "Under the Sea" (not yet officially launched);

There is also half of "Deep Sea" which can be used as a hidden network promotion video.

Yang Lingyue wants to make a pure music album, and put together ten or so BGM songs that are popular overseas in the future, no matter which country they are from, and use them as video BGM for people. As an official, it can naturally make some copyright fees or something.

So, everything is based on pragmatism.

After dinner, when the two of them were pulling their suitcases out of the house.

Yang Wenchang and Liu Qingna sighed secretly, leaving before they were even disgusted by the dog, and it was inevitable that they would be reluctant to leave.

Zeng Li really wanted to go to Guandi Temple, which is the hometown of Guan Gong, located in Jiezhou, Yuncheng.

It is normal for a Jingzhou person to want to visit Guan Gong's hometown.

The Guandi Temple in Jiezhou is the earliest built, largest and best preserved Guandi Temple.

It was built during the Kaihuang period of the Sui Dynasty, but it was just a spontaneous sacrifice by the local government and people;

It flourished during the Xuanhe period of the Northern Song Dynasty, when it was officially included in the official sacrificial objects and was also named a king;

It flourished during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, because it was named an emperor at this time, not until the Qing Dynasty due to political factors as rumored on the Internet.

Of course, the Qing Dynasty had the most conferment, a total of ten times, and Guan Gong was conferred a total of 21 times after his death, including the evil posthumous title of "Zhuangmiao Hou" given by Liu Bei.

So in the Guandi Temple in Jiezhou, you can see various buildings and objects from the Sui Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, which are of great historical research and reference value.

It is worth mentioning that the main building of this temple is from the Qing Dynasty, because the first time the temple was burned by a fire was when the Qing army entered the pass, and later in the 41st year of Kangxi, it experienced another fire...

The most important reason why Guan Gong was first spontaneously worshipped by the people, including being included in the official worship, was that he was blessed. This is recorded in history books, not nonsense.

At first, it was because the Yuncheng Salt Pond had a flood, which caused a plague.

A Taoist pointed out that it was the evil god of the salt pond that was causing trouble, and it was necessary to worship Guan Gong to quell the flood and bless the peace of the area.

So after the sacrifice, the flood subsided the next day and the plague disappeared.

This result was spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred. Coupled with the loyalty and righteousness stories passed down through the ages, under the influence of spiritual, cultural, commercial, political and other factors, Guan Gong became one of our spiritual totems.

As for why he became the God of Wealth, it was mainly related to Shanxi merchants.

During the Song Dynasty, Shanxi merchants were engaged in commercial activities such as salt industry, and Guan Gong helped solve the "evil god" problem in the salt pond, and naturally he was brought to all parts of the country by Shanxi merchants who traveled all over the country.
