book with text

A group of people walked south for a few miles, and when they came to the broken end of the mountain wall, they could see a canyon.Wen Ran was hesitating, but seeing Bian Wusi gave him a contemptuous glance, he stepped down the stone steps of the canyon. Wen Ran and Zhai Shili didn't have time to ask, so they hurriedly followed.

I don't know where the canyon leads to. The way down the stairs, the light in the mountains is becoming more and more unclear.Without sunlight, the valley looked very eerie.Bian Wusi seemed to be on a familiar path, walking in a dark place without holding his hands or stopping his feet.Wen Ran's feet slipped and she couldn't follow closely, so she put her hands on the wall.This support was not good, and the slippery and sticky palms frightened him.Zhai Shili was at the end, and he couldn't walk steadily. He heard Wen Ran's voice at this time, and he didn't know what happened, so he hurriedly said, "Your Highness, be careful." Wen Ran spread his hands under his eyes, but still couldn't see clearly, his hands were wet The feeling is still there, and when you raise your hand to the tip of your nose, you can smell the smell of medicinal stones.Zhai Shili didn't get Wen Ran's response, he was afraid that he would be poisoned by Bian Wusi, and he was not afraid of falling, so he went down several steps and saw Wen Ran standing in front of him, so he felt relieved.Asked, "Why doesn't Your Highness stop moving forward?" Wen Ran pointed to the stone wall, and said, "Does your lord know what is on this wall?" Zhai Shili took a closer look and wondered, "There is a smell of medicine." Wen Ran nodded, and said, "I think this canyon is full of fetishes, and even this stone wall is a medicinal material for curing old diseases." Seeing Bian Wusi and others walking farther and farther, Wen Ran said, "My lord, let's go quickly. After that, I couldn’t find the Crane Heaven Palace.”

I didn't know when I was walking again, suddenly I saw a white light in front of my eyes, and the white light became brighter as I went forward.Walking out of the canyon, the eyes suddenly open up, and what you can see is a lake.The lake is not big, and you can see its end when you look around, but the water in the lake is like emerald, and you can see different colors everywhere you stand.If there is no wind in the mountains, there will be no waves on the lake. What's more strange is that the end of the lake is a cliff, but the lake water can stop and not fall.Only Zhai Shili said aside, "Could it be that this is the legendary Jinggu?" Wen Ran was surprised at everything here, but when she heard about it, she hurriedly asked, "Does your lord know where this place is?" Zhai Shili said, "When the old minister was young I read in an ancient book that there is a divine realm in a certain place in the country of Qi, called Jinggu. The meaning of Jinggu is that everything in this valley is quiet, there is no wind, no rain, and even no air flow. If a person is here, the state of mind It will also be calm, and the practice will get twice the result with half the effort." He pointed to the lake and said, "This lake is just like the book, with all colors, like life and death, so it is called a quiet lake."

Hearing Zhai Shili Jinggu's words, everyone present was shocked.Bian Wusi also snorted, "I didn't expect you, an old man, to be quite knowledgeable." Wen Ran took a step forward and asked, "I just don't know where this Crane Heaven Palace is?" Bian Wusi said, "Master Zhai just now Daofan entered Jinggu, and his heart returned to calm, it seems that what is said in the book may not be accurate." Wen Ran was convinced, and said, "I was too impatient."

Several people entered Jinggu and walked through a bamboo forest.Every bamboo in the forest is as thick as the arm of a strong man, and it stretches straight into the air, and you can't see the top when you look up.Wen Ran thought to herself, these bamboos have grown for many years before they grow so strong.Seeing a clump of bamboo leaves bursting at every bamboo joint, Wen Ran was reaching out to pick them up, when someone said in his ear, "What's wrong with the bamboo leaves, don't break them." Looking at others, as usual, striding forward.Wen Ran said, the voice must not be his own illusion, why can't others hear it at all.So he turned around and looked around, but there was no one else except himself.Feeling strange for a moment, Wen Ran regained her composure and went to pick the leaves again, when the sound came again.This time Wen Ran could hear clearly, it turned out that the sound was not in her ears but in her head.Wen Ran said, this must be a man of God, and was surprised and delighted at the moment, and quickly bowed to the sky, saying, "Please don't take offense if you offend me." Said that Bi quickly followed the rest of the people.

The deeper the bamboo forest, the more difficult it is to walk, and there is almost no room for a person between the bamboos.One of Bian Wusi's accomplices said, "This bamboo leaf is too entangled to move, so I need to cut some of it off." Then he pushed the bamboo with his hands.Bian Wusi stopped, and said, "If you move here even a little bit, you won't be able to do anything else." The accomplice hastily stopped.Wen Ran knew that what Bian Wusi said must be related to Cai Cai's voice just now, but he still had conflicts with him, so if he asked now, he might not be willing to say it, so he only told Zhai Shili in private to be careful not to damage the bamboo. .

After walking for a while, I suddenly felt that the bamboo forest seemed to spread out to both sides, and gradually left a path with them.The road is long and windy like clouds and mist, and the clouds and mist get thicker as we go, but the clouds and mist are not like the clouds and mist when we went up the mountain.The clouds and mist encountered on Wanhua Mountain are moist and cool, but what is encountered here is only confusing to people's eyes, and there is no sense of touch around the body.Wen Ran saw only a few figures around her, and couldn't tell who was who.Fortunately, Zhai Shili said, "Your Highness, Your Highness, the old minister is here." Wen Ran hurriedly grabbed his sleeve and said, "My lord, come with me, don't get separated."

Wen Ran saw four figures in front of him, and thought they were Bian Wusi and others.After walking for a while, the four of them stopped.Wen Ran approached and asked, "Prime Minister, is he going to tell me that this is Hetian Palace?" Bian Wusi said, "Exactly." Although the clouds and mists were dense here, they did not cover the entire palace.Wen Ran said, "Prime Minister, please point out the main entrance of the palace." Bian Wusi snorted, "Just look up." It looks like a palace.Those who also raised their heads said in amazement, "This is really the Heavenly Palace!" Bian Wusi pointed in front, "This is the steps leading to the Crane Heavenly Palace." When they approached, they saw a stone half a zhang wide. order.The stone steps are built in the air, and there is no seat underneath, which is a bit surprising.

Going up the stone steps, you can really see the true appearance of Hetian Palace.Said it was the Heavenly Palace, but it was just a small palace, not as good as Huaigao's royal palace.The clouds and mist have also thinned out here, leaving only a little around the soles of the feet.Wen Ran saw that the palace was completely white, and the tentacles were cold to the bone.Zhai Shili also looked closely around the white pillars. After looking at them for a while, he gasped again in shock, "This pillar is carved with white jade!"It is thought that only Qi country, which is rich in beautiful jade, can get this building.

Zhu Wenran heard that the palace was built of white jade, and the white jade fan pendant that Shu Yin sent to him flashed through his mind, and he felt a stab in his heart, and hurriedly asked Bian Wusi, "Where is King Qi here?" Zhai Shili Both Bian Wusi and his friends have not seen King Qi for a long time, and this time they are also feeling emotional.Bian Wusi was about to take him into the palace, but he heard a voice hanging from the palace, saying, "Young people, please come in." Several people were stunned, looking around everyone, Zhu Wenran was the youngest among them.

Zhu Wenran entered the hall and saw a large cauldron with an incense burner in the center of the hall. No incense was burned in the cauldron.There was a person sitting behind the cauldron with his back to him.Wen Ran approached, and the man said, "You're here." Then he turned around slowly.Wen Ran was startled, this person was none other than the former King of Qi.Wen Ran saw her father, but instead of stepping forward to recognize her, she stepped back a few steps with fear on her face.Zhu Wenran was only nine years old when he left the country of Qi. At that time, the king of Qi was over 16 years old. Now 30 years have passed, but the king of Qi is not only not old, but even younger than when he was young.The appearance and shape of the people in front of him were all like those of a [-]-year-old man, and Zhu Wenran dared not recognize him as his father no matter what he saw.

Seeing that Zhu Wenran was standing still, the man said, "I know why you are here. I have placed the things you need in the corner of the hall." Wen Ran hurriedly said, "What I need is not things, but... and It's a person!" The man shook his head and said, "You have seen him, and you know in your heart that you don't need him anymore, so why be stubborn at this moment." Then he said, "Take my hand and the seal, and you can go down the mountain Enthronement." Wen Ran hurriedly said, "Do you think I'm here for this? If you hide in this dead place, even if you become an immortal in the future, what good will it do for all living beings!" The human said, "What are all living beings and me?" What? If you don’t want to be the king of Qi, then hand over the seal to the prime minister.” Wen Ran clenched her fists and stepped forward when she heard about Bian Wusi, “Bian Wusi Yuezu, you will not punish him, but instead If you want to hand over this country to him, you..." He said in a hurry, "You are no longer the person I know." The man did not argue with him, but said lightly, "This matter has already been settled I'm done, my fate is over, and you don't have to come see me again." Seeing him close his eyes again, Zhu Wenran turned around and meditated, feeling angry and sad in his heart, stood for a while, then suddenly knelt down, and bowed a few times to the man's back Worship, got up and went to the corner of the hall to get the handbook and the seal, and left the hall without looking back.

Outside the palace, Zhai Shili, Bian Wusi and others waited anxiously. When they saw Zhu Wenran come out, they all went forward to meet him.But Bian Wusi stopped after a few steps.Zhai Shili cupped his hands and bowed to Wen Ran, "Your Highness, what does the King say?" Wen Ran only handed King Qi's letter to him, and walked down the hall by herself.Zhai Shili unfolded it and read the letter, saying that the crown prince Zhu Wenran will inherit the throne, and the affairs of the court will be managed by the prime minister Bian Wusi.The oracle fell from Zhai Shili's hand, and Zhai Shili also knelt down on the ground and shouted to the hall, "Your Majesty!" Bian Wusi's accomplices picked up the oracle and handed it to Bian Wusi. Bian Wusi was overjoyed when he read it , holding the imperial decree in both hands, knelt towards the Jade Hall, and said loudly, "I will do my best to assist the young master!" The three accomplices also knelt down one after another when they saw this, shouting for the king Shengming.After Bian Wusi kowtowed, he bowed to the side and wished Wenran, saying, "I was in a hurry before, and I offended His Highness, and I hope His Highness will forgive me." Zhu Wenran didn't look at him, but called Zhai Shili to get up.

A group of people went down the mountain by the same road.Looking at the scene on the way again, I no longer feel that there is any sacred place, but feel empty and silent like a dead thing.A few people still took the cableway and arrived at the foot of the mountain. The officials waiting here all looked at Wen Ran.Bian Wusi stepped down from the wooden box, and immediately announced King Qi's handwriting, confirming Zhu Wenran's identity and keeping his position as prime minister.Zhu Wenran was worshiped by hundreds of people, but there was no joy in her heart, but a sense of loss.At this time, I heard the rustling sound behind me, which seemed to be the sound of iron chains rubbing against each other. Zhu Wenran turned around and saw that the chain connecting the mortal world, which was hundreds of feet long, had been loosened.The chain fell from the clouds and hit the bottom of Wanhua Mountain in an instant, making a loud sound.Zhu Wenran had a sore nose, as if she was about to cry, she held back and said to everyone, "From now on, no one will be allowed to go to the top of Wanhua Mountain again!"

After many hardships, Zhu Wenran finally ascended to the position of prince again, but before he ascended the throne as king, envoys from gangster countries came after him to punish him.It is said that Mr. Zhai lied to Shao Renjun and intercepted Zhu Wenran secretly, and Shao Renjun was furious about this.Zhu Wenran received the envoy, faced him with harsh questions, and only replied, "Don't Shao Renjun think that imprisoning me in the gangster country for 16 years is not enough? Do you still want to arrest me back to the gangster country?" The envoy snorted, Said, "I dare not, it's just..." Seeing this, Bian Wusi immediately came forward to round up the situation, first bowed to Wen Ran, then turned back to the envoy and said, "Shao Renjun is such a person who doesn't know right from wrong. See, Shao Renjun's fury was only for the fault of the Minister of Rites of this court, and Zhai Shili deceived the holy monarch and set up treacherous schemes. As a monarch who has passed away, how could he bear such teasing, my lord, do you think so?" The envoy stood up Standing up, he said, "Exactly. Shao Renjun has already prepared a ceremonial team to send the crown prince back to the Qi country, but he didn't know that Master Zhai had no respect for him, and if he set up this trick, the king of a country would really hurt the dignity of the country if he was teased like this? The purpose of this trip is to win over this villain from His Highness, and bring him back to the gangster country for punishment." Zhu Wenran saw the two singing together, but only looked at the other place, and said, "Zhai Shili is the minister of the Qi country, and if it is up to me to punish the crime How can we let other countries interfere?" The envoy raised his eyebrows immediately when he heard the words, and said, "What His Highness said is that he refuses to hand over Zhai Shili?" Zhu Wenran said, "Why bother yourself, my lord." After finishing speaking, he called the guards on both sides, "Come here, send your lord back to the mansion to rest!" The guards all agreed with a shout.Without waiting for anyone to escort him, the envoy shook his sleeves and strode away.

Seeing that the envoy had just left, Bian Wusi cupped his hands and said to Wen Ran, "Your Highness, you should think twice about this matter. Everyone knows that Shao Renjun is brutal and warlike. Now the gangster country has almost occupied Wei Tuo's territory. It should not be underestimated. It is not a good strategy for His Highness to oppose him at this moment. Besides, Lord Zhai has indeed deceived the monarch. Why don’t His Highness let the matter go and hand over Lord Zhai to the gangster country?" Zhu Wenran looked at him coldly and said, "Prime Minister Zhai Has your lord risked his life to save this crown prince?" Bian Wusi cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness is sure that I didn't mean it." Then he looked at Zhai Shili, "If Mr. Zhai has the heart to love the country and the people, why don't you stand up at this moment? Would you like to say a few words?" Zhai Shili stroked his thin beard lightly, came out with a big sigh, knelt down on the ground, and said, "His Royal Highness, if the country of Qi is in danger because of a humble minister, then the minister will volunteer to accompany the envoy. Go to the gangster country to claim the crime." Zhu Wenran couldn't bear it when he saw him kneeling on the ground in his old bones, and sighed, "Hey, sir, are you also stupid? If Shao Renjun wants to attack Qi country, there are more than ten million reasons. If Qi State surrenders you, my lord, then I will be the next one." Looking at Bian Wusi again, he said, "Besides, it is not Mingjun's doing to kill loyal and trustworthy people." After finishing speaking He personally stepped forward to help Zhai Shili up.
