The sun of March has just passed, the Purple Mountain in the northwest of Shouying has returned to its former tranquility, there is no longer the crowding of cars and horses, and there are no men and women all over the mountain, only the woodcutters and hunters who go into the mountains to chop wood, only occasionally find some relics of men and women in the bushes under the trees - there is no concept of chastity in the era, the first day of March every year, is the blind date meeting of young men and women, love at first sight is a very common thing, Confucius was not born in the wild?

The birdsong mountain is more secluded, the verdant mountain forest is crying, the woodcutter chopping wood is carrying the dry wood as usual, and suddenly, a tiger roar rises from the depths of the dense forest, 'Whoa——! ’

The tiger roared in the valley, and the howling sound seemed to make the entire Purple Mountain shake. Before the woodcutter could react, the faithful body had already thrown the burden off his shoulders, and it took him a long moment before he realized what had happened, and immediately fell to the ground.

"Whew——!" There was another whistling, and the tiger seemed to be beside him, and the yellow spots loomed among the leaves and grass, and the woodcutter crawled and crawled to escape from the place, but his legs were weak and cramped, and he was paralyzed.

"Whew——!" The tiger really jumped out of the woods, and the strange thing was that when it saw the woodcutter who had collapsed on the ground, it did not pounce on it, but said: "The prince is fierce, the ancient sage king, and he is the king Chu Bichang." ”

Since ancient times, important things have to be said three times, and the tiger also said this sentence three times, and finally said "howl" to the woodcutter——! After a moment, he slowly walked into the dense forest and disappeared.

"Ahh Yes! Ah......" It took the woodcutter a long time to regain his senses, and the fear had completely vanished from him, replaced by an indescribable excitement. "The prince is strong, the ancient sage king, and he is the king Chu Bichang." The woodcutter repeated it with all his strength, and then he ran wildly, and he wanted to report the matter to the king immediately, and the king would definitely be rewarded.

The woodcutter outside the city rushed wildly, and above the Shouying Jingmen, the same strange event was happening, and a line of black words suddenly appeared on the originally blue-gray stone: 'Dazi is strong, Chu Bichang. ’

No one knew when or by whom the black letter was written, but it appeared there so strangely that under the city gate there were a group of people kneeling, they were not old hats like woodcutters, they were all city people who had seen the world. What 'Dazi Han, Jing Chuchang' means, everyone knows clearly in their hearts.

"If you have something important, please see the king." In the main bed, the king of Chu and the crane Guanzi had a very happy conversation, but outside the bed, the sweaty city Yin Guanyou hurriedly told the emperor Cai Bao, and said after speaking: "This matter is related to the society of Chu State, urgent!" ”

"The king has said, do not disturb today. Please come back tomorrow. Cai Bao bowed to Guan You, he knew who Guan You was.

"Hurry!" I can't wait to rush to bed. "I'm ......, my lord! The King—! The Great King——! The anxious Guan You shouted loudly, but Cai Bao couldn't stop him, until the armored palace guards surrounded him, and Guan You was still shouting.

In ancient times, there were three dynasties, and those who had three dynasties, outside, governance, and interior. The outer dynasty was in the court outside the palace gate, and the outer dynasty not only summoned noble officials, but also gathered to speak; Governing the dynasty is the right dynasty, where the monarchs and ministers meet every morning, but here is mostly a meeting, announcing the decree, and the officials will return to the office after the end. Like the last time the prince was selected, it was actually rare; The place that really decides the major affairs of the country is the inner dynasty, that is, the Yan Dynasty, whenever the ruling dynasty will end, the monarch will retreat to the main bed, and those who have important things can enter the road to face the monarch, of course, this is only limited to the nobles above the doctor, and the scholars cannot be promoted to the room, they can only stand at the bottom of the steps to observe. After the end of the Yan Dynasty, the monarch can get off work, generally go to the small bed, take off the Xuanduan and change into deep clothes, or rest, or leave the palace from the back gate of the palace, and drink a few taels of wine in the market.

Cai Bao stood outside the main bed, and naturally the king of Chu was still working in the Yan Dynasty, so Guan Youcai shouted loudly. His shout was really heard by the King of Chu, and before Guan You was gagged by the palace guards, the King of Chu asked Xiang Changjiang: "Who is calling outside the bed?" ”

"The king, it's the reason." Of course, the ears of the servants are spiritual, and even if they are not spiritual, there are also temple people who report it.

"Guan You ......" Guan You was personally appointed by the King of Chu to Shou Yingcheng Yin, and the King of Chu asked again: "What is the matter with him?" ”

"He ......" Chang Jiang stopped talking and said, "Xiao Chen doesn't know." ”

"Ask and reciprocate." King Chu said, the dignified city Yin shouted loudly outside the main bed, there must be something urgent.

Chang Jiang, who had been ordered, left in a hurry and came back after a while. When the king of Chu saw him coming, he had to suspend the discussion with the Crane Guanzi and said, "What's the matter? ”

"Regardless of what you say, Jingmen is too one-god to appear." Chang Jiang held back for a while, and finally said so.

"Manifestation?!" Not only the King of Chu, but also the Crane Guanzi was taken aback.

"Guan Youyan, a few big words suddenly appeared on the Jingmen door: 'Dazi Qiang, Jing Chuchang'......"

"Ahh Before Chang Jiang finished speaking, the King of Chu and Que Guanzi gasped, and both sides saw the suspicion and shock in each other's eyes - how could it be so coincidental, this side is discussing how to make Prince Jing the crown prince, and over there is too one god to appear, saying 'Dazi is fierce, Jing Chuchang', someone must be pretending to be a ghost.

Chang Jiang also sensed the suspicions of the two, and added: "The word is on the lintel, and if you say it, it will not be seen, and it will suddenly appear at noon." The armor of the city and the merchants of the city can all testify to it, and no one writes on it. ”

"Great king, when the great son is chosen to be very important, some people will pretend to be ghosts and gods to confuse the world." Que Guanzi said, he had just persuaded the King of Chu to agree to make Xiong Jing the crown prince, how could he fall short.

"The king, the servant is looking at the season and asking to see you. The servant said something important, which is related to the society of Chu and the country. "Cheng Yin Guan You was escorted down by the palace guards, but Guan You came again after leaving the servant Guanji, this time Cai Bao didn't dare to stop again, and came in directly to report.

"What's the matter with the servant?" The king of Chu glanced at the crane crown and said to himself: "Is this also the case?" ”

Of course, Guanji was not for Jingmen, he didn't come alone, except for a few wizards who accompanied him, a few servants panted and carried a heavy box. "King, yesterday the fisherman caught a jade in Huaishui, and today it is dedicated to the king, please take a look."

The boxes were set one by one, and they were opened one after another in front of the king of Chu, and the last one was opened to uncover the brocade silk, and a piece of pale yellow round jade with a large palm was revealed. Although the jade is yellow, the jade quality is extremely clear, and the best thing is that there are four crooked words in the jade: 'Liqiang is the king!' ’

"This ancient jade of Kunlun is also!" At first, he didn't see the words in the jade, but marveled that it was a piece of Kunlun ancient jade.

"Exactly." Guan Ji nodded, "Jade is born, the word is natural, and the meaning of this god is also visible in the world." ”

"The Great King's ......" auspicious rui is in front of him, even the crane crown can't see any false traces in it, but from common sense, this must be done by Chun Shenjun to his disciples, and the purpose is self-evident.

"Bu no?" The king of Chu also vaguely guessed this truth in his heart, but he preferred to divinate once to discern the will of heaven.

"Tomorrow is a blessing." Large-scale divination is to be carefully prepared, and it cannot be said that divination is justified. "Is it a royal sacrifice?"

"Sacrifice." The sacrifice to the temple is not prepared in one day, and an auspicious day must be chosen. The king of Chu would rather postpone it and hope that the divination would be more formal—the establishment of Xiong Jing as the crown prince is not expected, which will bear the risk of civil strife in Chu; And Li Xiong was fierce, but he did not show the slightest demeanor or sign of a virtuous king, and the king of Chu was very uneasy when the country handed him over.

The sacrifice is being prepared, and in the next few days, all kinds of auspicious and poor people can't get out: there are tigers who speak from their mouths, there are big fish floating on the surface of the water to speak, and there are ...... of the king's tomb suddenly blooming and flowering into words, all of which show that Xiong Han is the reincarnation of the ancient holy king, and he is the king, and the Chu country can be prosperous. For a while, there was a lot of public opinion in Yingdu, and everyone said that he should be the prince of Liqiang.

Zeng Zi killed people and the three of them became tigers, obviously understanding this truth, the king of Chu is still worried. He felt more and more that this was not entirely a forgery made by Chun Shenjun, because it was impossible - for example, the ancient jade with raw words, he himself carefully looked at it, and also asked Yu Yin to read it, Yu Yin also said that the words are natural, and no one is fake, and the reason why the omen frequently appear is because he wants to make Xiong Jing the eldest son, and the gods are profuse, so they manifest their spirits.

The sacrifice of the temple is extremely grand, the king of Chu wearing a big crown with hundreds of courtiers in the sound of bells and drums again and again to worship and retreat, the king of Chu is already old, physical exhaustion, when the last ceremony is completed, his legs that have long been weak can no longer stop the body, fainted to the ground. The king fainted, and the scene was suddenly chaotic, but fortunately, Jiang was extremely calm, and commanded the temple people to carry the king of Chu to an empty place, massaging and pouring water, and when the doctor Yin came, the king of Chu had already woken up.

"The sacrifice is over, please return to the palace." Ling Yin Huang crouched on the ground, his voice worried.

"No, widow... I want to know the trick of divination. King Chu gasped, and his eyes could barely open when he spoke.

"Minister......" Huang Xie looked at the servant Guan Ji who was lying on the ground, and didn't know how to answer for a while.

"Go to ......" King Chu raised his arm, but fell down before he could lift it.

The tortoise shell finally burned in the fire, and the 'crack......ling' sound of bones cracking became more and more intense. The servant Guan Ji knelt in front of the fire, solemn and solemn in his low groan. He didn't care who was the crown prince and who was the king of Chu, but he was extremely devout to the gods, and he dedicated his life to the gods. Huang Xie looked at him from afar, his heart hanging in his throat. Although he gave a large amount of money to the season, this could only buy his personal support, and if the divination had other results, he would follow the will of the gods and ignore himself.

The waiting time for the cubicles was short and long, and like Huang Xie, the left disciple Zhao Huang who was facing the spiritual throne of the first king in the Taimiao was also nervous. One after another, Xiangrui also made him and all the Jing Party at a loss. Taking advantage of ghosts and gods is not only something they can't imagine, but also something that these pedantic nobles won't do. The result of not doing it is that he will completely lose power, and once the king is defeated and the bear is strong, Chun Shenjun and his group of disciples will be another Wu Qi. What is a change? Isn't changing the law to kill the former king's relatives and heroes, collect the money from the acres of productive fields, and then the whole country is poor, and the people take the guest secretary as the teacher, and the country is only the guest secretary?

Thinking of this, Zhao Huang suddenly burst into tears, he never wanted the Chu State to become the Qin State, but if it didn't become the Qin State, the Chu State might really die. In a trance, he muttered a prayer: 'Donghuang Taiyi God, bless the Jing people, we are the descendants of Zhurong......
