Chapter 1003 The Man Who Chased

After two hours of traveling through the horizontal passage underground, a faint light appeared in front of him.

When I got closer, I found that it was a huge hole, and in front of the cave was a canyon that could not be seen as far as the eye could see, and on either side of the canyon were two rows of steep cliffs, and in the middle of which was a straight avenue.

The team came out of the cave and marched in the middle of the avenue, when Burning Clothes, who was behind me, rushed forward to walk side by side with me.

She pointed to the big hole behind her and said, "This big hole is one of the seventeen exits of Mount Eighty-One to the outside world, and it is also the closest to the temples of the gods. The underground passages crisscrossing the cave are the main transportation route between the 81 Mountains, except for the pontoon bridge at the top of the mountain. Out of this cave, there is the range of the eighty-one mountains. ’

"'The road ahead is a natural path that Heaven has set up for me. On both sides of the avenue, there are two parallel mountain ranges, all the way full of high mountain cliffs. The two mountain ranges, both unattainable, with snow on their summits that do not melt all year round, cling to this avenue, which from the outside look like a mountain range, and no one knows that there is a road running through the middle of the ridge.

"So this is the only place outside of the top of Mount Eighty-One, where our clan can appear in a large group.

Nevertheless, from here to the ancestral mountain, there are thirteen passes, which are the places where the mountains are interrupted, and where the demonstrable people pass. In ancient times, after the completion of the temples of the gods, the ancestors of our tribe dug through the ground at these thirteen passes, and hid the avenue under the pass of the world. Thirteen passes divided this avenue into 14 sections, and the ancestors named this avenue 14 Gorge Avenue. ’

I was amazed and exclaimed, "The ancestors of the Drought Tribe, who are truly superior in wisdom, have chosen such a unique terrain as Mount Eighty-one, and have such a road to connect with the ancestral mountain, although they live in a secret world, they have avoided the situation of hiding in the underground, and like the people of the world, they can bathe in the sun and the moon." ’

Ran Xiangtu said: "Although our ancestors are wise, what I am most grateful for is this secret forest and high mountain valley given by God, so that our people can have a barrier of invisibility. ’

As he spoke, the sun was already setting in the west, and he turned around and asked his attendants, 'What time is it?'

The attendant replied, 'Orthogonal unitary time. ’

Ran said, 'Order the front team, set up camp and rest.' ’

The men of his retinue rode their horses and ran to the front team.

I asked, 'When can I get to the temple like this?'

Ran Xiangtu said: "The mothers of the past dynasties traveled 80 miles a day, and they could reach it in exactly 40 days, and when they set off on the first day, they arrived at the same hour on the 40th day, and it was exactly the same. We will arrive at the Temple of God in forty days' time. ’

As soon as he finished speaking, the procession stopped moving from front to back, and Junmu's chariot also stopped.

Ran Xiangtu jumped off the horse and ran to the chariot of the monarch's chariot to wait for the order.

I also dismounted and walked over.

Your grandmother got out of the chariot and said to Ran Xiangdi, 'Go and camp with you, I don't have to worry about it here, just have my son-in-law with you.' ’

Burning clothes and leaving.

Your grandmother stepped back and said to me, 'This valley is beautiful, so come with me to the other side.' As he spoke, he pointed to a small hill on the edge of the cliff to the east, where there was still a remnant of the sun.

I walked with your grandmother to the top of the hill, and looked down at the slender canyon that stretched infinitely to the left and right. The avenue in the middle of the canyon, like a slender hairspring, runs through the canyon, and both ends disappear in the gloomy twilight.

Your grandmother looked up at the cloud-swept sunset in the mountains to the west, and said lightly, 'I don't know why, but when I set off from Junshan in the morning, I was so restless that I sat in the car and shivered. Is it that I, the monarch, am talentless and ignorant, and unworthy of being the lord of the drought, God deliberately reminded me. ’

When I heard this, I thought she was sick, so I hurriedly stepped forward to give her a pulse. Her pulse was very steady, and there was no sign of illness at all.

I comforted: 'When you first arrived in the land of drought and ascended to the throne, you are not accustomed to food and lodging in all aspects, and you have a thousand pounds of burden on your shoulders, and you will inevitably feel pressure in your heart. After a long time, it's good to get used to it. You also have to learn to relieve stress, regulate your mood, and don't be overly nervous. ’

Your grandmother nodded.

I saw that her eyebrows were tightly knit and she was still pondering, and then she comforted: "This time to go to the ancestral mountain to sacrifice is your big event, you should be happy, don't think nonsense." Now the realm of the Drought Tribes is peaceful and peaceful, it is a rare way to rule the world, and when the sacrifice returns, the great benevolence will be able to make the Drought Tribes reappear in the prosperous world. Although you don't know how to govern, there are many virtuous and loyal ministers in the court, so you can rely on them to govern first, and then you can find a good teacher to learn the way to govern. With your wisdom roots, over time, you will be able to become a generation of masters. ’

Your grandmother smiled, glanced at me and said, 'I hope it's like you say.'" In fact, I don't feel a lot of pressure to ascend to the position of the monarch, but I have a high-spirited spirit in my heart, determined to be a good monarch. But today I feel very strange. Heyβ€”β€”, forget it, maybe it's really as you said, you need to adjust your mood. ’

At this time, the sunset had already set into the mountains, and the wind was blowing in the valley, and although it was early autumn, it was a slight chill.

Suddenly, your grandmother exclaimed, 'What's that?'

I hurriedly looked towards the place she was pointing, and saw stacks of clouds of various colors piled up on the top of the mountain range to the west, the color gradually changed from dark yellow to dark from top to bottom, and the layer clinging to the top of the mountain was as black as ink. The whole sea of clouds is like a huge curtain in the sky. Other than that, nothing was found.

I said, 'Aren't those mountains and the sea of clouds?'

Your grandmother was frightened and said in a trembling voice: 'A dark shadow flashed from the top of the mountain. ’

I laughed and said, 'According to Ransui, the mountains on both sides of this canyon are so steep that the summits are covered with snow and ice, and not even a monkey can climb them, so how can there be dark shadows there.' ’

Your grandmother was still staring intently at the west, and I said, 'Maybe you're dazzled, but now it's cold, let's go down.' ’

Your grandmother nodded, and turned and walked down the hill, looking back at the western mountains from time to time as she went.

As soon as I reached the halfway point of the hill, a person ran in front of me in the dark, and at a distance of one foot in front of me and your grandmother, he knelt down on one knee and said, "Your Majesty, Lord Shoufu wants to kill the Great Commander Mutan, General Qin asked me to come to tell Your Majesty, please return to the camp to make a decision, it will be too late." ’

When I heard the word Mutan, I panicked in my heart and hurriedly asked, 'Which Mutan Grand Commander?'

The man said, "It's General Burning Mutan, the old hero who defeated the Huandou people back then." ’

Your grandmother said to herself, 'Didn't she get dismissed from office a few years ago, and she shouldn't be among the entourage this time.'" ’

I was worried about Burning Clothes Mutan, and I said to your grandmother, 'This General Burning Clothes Mutan is a loyal man, and he must not be killed by Burning Clothes. Whatever the case may be, let's talk about it when we get back. ’

Your grandmother immediately said to the visitor, 'Go back and proclaim my will, you can't cut it down, and I'll make a decision when I go back.' ’

The man got up and ran, and disappeared into the night, and a moment later heard the sound of horses' hooves in front of him.

The man had not been gone long before a light appeared in front of him. As the light got closer, I could see that it was the crowd of people who had come to pick up the driver.

I accompanied your grandmother to the hitchhiker and returned to the main tent.

Your grandmother sat on a chair in the middle of the tent, and I sat on the side.

Your grandmother said to the left and right, 'Announce that Lord Shousuke is coming.' ’

A chamberlain came out of the tent, and soon after, Ran Yitu followed into the big tent.

"After the ceremony, your grandmother asked her to sit on the side, and then asked, 'Why did you go with you this time?'

When Ran Sheng Tu heard this, he immediately gritted his teeth and said, "Ran Sheng Mutan is not an entourage, she followed the team all the way, and caught up with the team in the evening. As soon as she arrived, she spread evil rumors, bewitched the army, and cursed His Majesty. It's a big rebellion. According to the law of drought, he should be punished immediately. The minister was about to be executed, but was stopped by His Majesty's dispatch, for some reason. ’

Your grandmother said, 'What did she say?'

He said, 'The words spoken are so vulgar that they fear to defile the Holy Hearing. ’

Your grandmother said, 'You can't say it, so bring her and I'll ask her.' ’

Ran Xiangtu's face was embarrassed, and he hesitated for a moment before he said to the attendant behind him, "Go and bring the prisoner to see the driver." ’

Soon after, several soldiers escorted Burning Mutan to the tent.

Burning Clothes Mu Tan kept shouting, "You will be a sinner through the ages, kill me, I don't want to see the Drought Man fall into disaster." If you ignore divine revelation and make your own decisions, your mother will be a burden to you. ’

Ran Sheng Tu said loudly: "Burning Clothes Mutan, this is the main tent, and the monarch is above, as if above the court. It is also a capital crime for you to roar at the court like this, and you can't stop talking. ’

When he was about to speak, he looked up and saw your grandmother, and immediately put away his anger, and fell to the ground and began to cry, crying and crying, 'Your Majesty!'

Only then did your grandmother ask, 'Burning Clothes Mutan, why did you come to chase after the sacrificial procession?'

Burning Clothes Mu stood up, knelt straight and straight, and said with tears in his eyes: "Please Your Majesty quickly turn the team, go back to the capital, and choose another day to go to the temple to worship." ’

Ran Xiangtu angrily reprimanded: "Bold and fanatical, how dare you be so presumptuous, the matter of sacrifice is a major matter of our clan, it is not a child's play, how can you say go back." ’

Your grandmother pressed her hand on Ran Xiang, turned her head and asked Ran Sheng Mu frankly, "Tell me, why do you want to go back?"

Ranshang Mutan said, "It is very bad luck to go to the ancestral mountain, and if you insist on going forward, it will be a great obstacle to the body of the Lord." ’

Ran Xiangtu interjected: 'Cursing Your Majesty like this is a real sin that is unforgivable!'

Your grandmother looked at Ranshang and said, 'Listen to her first, Master Tu. ’

Burning Clothes Mutan also looked at Burning Clothes and said, "Burning Clothes Tree, the real unforgivable sin is you. ’

When Ranshuang heard this, he was furious and shouted, 'Pull this madman out and cut him down.' ’

The soldiers on both sides immediately picked up the burning clothes and walked out.

Your grandmother slapped the table and said, 'Do you still have me in your eyes?'

But he said, 'Your Majesty, you have just ascended to the throne and urgently need to be powerful to the whole clan, and you must not tolerate such fanatics. ’

Then he turned back to the soldier who was holding the burning mutan and said, 'Take it down.' ’

At this moment, a voice came from outside the account: 'I see which of you dares to take someone out.' ’”
