Chapter 36: The King's Study
In the ensuing conversation, when he learned that Wang Fan's ancestor was the general of Baguo, King Geyin said excitedly: "Wang Fan, we are real world friends, your ancestor general and my grandfather Har and Zhen'er's Taizu Meng Wang are friends in trouble!" My grandfather wrote a memoir called "The Ba People and Me", in which my grandfather recorded in detail how he met you Ba people and fought with you Ba people, and finally took you Ba people away from the blue planet. ”
Wang Fan said excitedly: "Uncle King, I really want to read that book!" ”
King Geyin smiled and said: "Okay, Shanglin, my father and your uncle still have something to discuss, you can take Kapok Zi and guests from outside the world to your grandfather's study to visit, and by the way, show your grandfather's book to Wang Fan." ”
It was already dusk, and the palace was lit up everywhere, and when he arrived at the door of the old man's study, Shanglin himself opened the door, and then ordered the waiter to light the lamp in the room.
By the bright light, Wang Fan saw a large desk placed by the window in the study, with a row of yellowed books neatly placed on the table, and a huge portrait of a young and beautiful woman hung above the desk.
"That's Jane, my grandfather's great-grandmother, Aunt and Princess, who drew Jane by her grandfather." Kabayashi pointed to the portrait and introduced it to the guest, "He said that this way he can meet and talk to Princess Jane every day." ”
Shanglin's words moved the listeners, and Zhen'er's eyes filled with tears.
On one of the walls on the side of the room is a striking diagram of celestial motions, with several planets of different colors orbiting their stars.
"You see, I've been to all these planets! The big blue planet in the middle is the star of Russ, where he was born, and the purple star is the star of Weiner, where we are. The blue planet is the planet of Wang Fan's family, and the small golden planet is the gold star of Zhen'er's family. Ubayashi pointed out to the guests one by one.
On the other side of the room hung a dozen paintings on the wall.
"These paintings were painted by my grandfather himself in his old age, and he painted the most precious memories of his life that remained in his mind."
Afterwards, Kabayashi explained the meaning of each painting to his friends in turn: "You see, this painting is a picture of him watching the starry sky with his parents when he was a child, and my grandfather said in his book that he was fascinated by the beautiful starry sky since he was a child, so he grew up to be an interstellar traveler." Also because he is an interstellar traveler, his life is full of legends.
This is the scene of him going to school when he was our age, you can see who is my grandfather among these people, look at his teacher with strange glasses!
This painting is a scene of him and the princess god playing together in the capital city of Rus, how desirable it is to see so many high-rise buildings!
I don't need to talk about this picture, you should be able to see what it is. Shanglin pointed to a painting and said to Wang Fan.
Wang Fan looked intently, and in the painting, there was a long river under the blue sky and white clouds, and there was the outline of a castle on the bank of the river. There was a large caravan on the river, and there were several people sitting on it, one of whom had a different appearance.
Wang Fan quickly understood, and he said excitedly: "The painting is the Yangtze River where we are!" In ancient times, the capital of Pakistan was a mountain city on the bank of the Yangtze River, and I have taken Zhen'er to the mountain city, and in this painting your grandfather is taking a boat to Pakistan. ”
"You read that right!" Shanglin said happily, "My grandfather went to your country to encounter a war, and at the moment of life and death, it was you Ba people who saved him, so he later helped you Ba people fight the enemy." ”
Kabayashi then tells his friends about the other paintings, until the waiter arrives and announces that the dinner has begun!
Dinners at the palace were lavish and lively, and the ballroom was lit up with lights. Dozens of huge dining tables were filled with delicacies from the mountains and seas, and the king of singing invited dignitaries and celebrities from the singing country to accompany them. At the front desk of the banquet hall, a band played an ode to joy, and men and women in costumes danced merrily.
On the VIP seat sat the singing king's family, the fans of the Tang Wang, father and son, and Wang Fan, A Hu Zhen'er.
The King of Singers was so excited that he first proposed that the guests toast a glass of wine for their guests to Putersa.
Then the queen beckoned the guests to taste the craftsmanship of the palace chef, and the king of soup was the first to pick up a knife and fork to attack the seafood on the plate.
The accompanying guests invited by the king of singing lined up one after another to toast to the VIPs, although others only took a small sip of Wang Fan for each drink, but because there were too many people toasting him, it didn't take long for him to pour a big glass of wine. However, although he was dizzy this time, he was in high spirits and did not feel sleepy.
Kapok Zi is worthy of being the prince of Jiuxian City, and the amount of wine is amazing, and he actually takes a small glass of wine like adults. And the belly of the soup king is watching little by little swelling outward, and soon it will be as big as a hot air balloon, he will take the wine glass and shake it to the bathroom, if someone doesn't help him, I'm afraid he will fly into the sky as soon as he goes out.
It was late at night after the dinner, and Wang Fan and Zhen'er Ahu shared a room in the palace. Niu sleeps in one bed, and Hu and Zhen'er lie on the other bed.
"Ah Hu, do you want to sleep at night?" Wang Fan asked curiously.
Ah Hu replied, "At night, I can reduce my energy consumption to a minimum and go into hibernation. But my ability to sense is still far greater than that of your sleeping creatures. ”
Zhen'er said: "Wang Fan, with Ah Hu's protection, I am not afraid of anything now." But I was worried about my father and mother. You say, if those two green-faced monsters can't find my father's heavenly treasure, will they kill my father and queen mother? ”
Wang Fan said: "I don't think so, those two green-faced people already have a space pass, and it is the treasure that Master Hu wants from your father." But Master Hu is a Ba person, and he will not kill your father, queen and mother. Otherwise, millions of Ba people would definitely work together to kill the Hu Tang Master. Because gold gems are very valuable in this world, I think what those two green-faced people want are gold gems. ”
Ah Hu said: "When you were eating meat and drinking wine at the banquet, I heard the historian of the King of Song Yin say that there are many good mages who can transfigurate in Chizhou, and he said that when Mr. Hal was in Chizhou, he saw with his own eyes the green-faced man who was called the Little Fairy of Moon Mountain by the locals performing Transfiguration. Therefore, Yueshan Xiaoxian and his apprentices are the targets we are looking for on this trip to Chizhou. If I find them, Zhen'er will be restored to her original form, and my mission will be complete. ”
Zhen'er immediately became happy, "Ah Hu, if you find that Moon Mountain Immortal, can you let him go with us to our Hal City to catch those two bad mages?" ”
Ah Hu said, "If the Moon Mountain Fairy is willing to go with you, the sheriff will agree to your request." ”
After a conversation, Zhen'er was satisfied and soon fell asleep.
Ah Hu and Wang Fan also stopped talking, but lying on the wide and comfortable bed, Wang Fan actually tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. He really wanted to read the book Shanglin gave him overnight, but considering that he was going to leave for Qizhou early tomorrow morning, he could only try to get himself to bed early.
But his mind kept thinking back to the paintings hanging in the study of the god Howl, the god had been to so many planets, he had been a god and a king, and his life was undoubtedly very wonderful. But the death of Jane, Zhen'er's great-grandmother, and the fact that she could never return to the home where she was born, must have made Hal feel very sorry, so he drew the most precious memories in his mind so that he could look at them every day.
If you live on a distant alien planet like the king of heaven and never return home, what will you draw when you are old?
When Wang Fan thought of this, several pictures flashed in his mind: the blue sky, the towering mountains, and a young man sitting on the top of the mountain looking at the clouds floating in the sky. As night fell, the sky was shining with stars, and a teenager sat in front of the house looking up at the starry sky.
Wang Fan knew that these pictures would be the most precious memories of his old age, because they were not only beautiful and poetic, but also led an ordinary young man from a mountain village to this magical outer world!
