Ran Shang Mu Tan said angrily, "Now that your mother is seriously injured, you have just resigned from your official position, can you make up for it?"

I persuaded: "General Mutan, now that the matter is over, it will be useless to blame Lord Shoufu, let's plan for the return tomorrow." ’

As soon as he had finished speaking, a chamberlain came out of the main tent and came to us and said, 'Your Majesty, please come into the tent and take matters into the account. ’

The inner attendant turned his head and saw Burning Mu Tan again, and said: "General Mu Tan is also here, Jun Mu specially told me to go and tie up the general, and Xuan General to the big tent, since I have already come, I will not have to run again, let's go in together." ’

The four of us went into the tent in order.

Your grandmother, lying on the couch, saw us go in, and said in a weak voice, 'Come near, all of you.' ’

We took two steps forward and came to the couch.

Your grandmother said, 'Sit down.' ’

The attendant next to him immediately moved the poun and placed it behind us, and we all sat down.

She first looked at Burning Mutan and said, "General Mutan, you have been wronged. The responsibility for tonight's events is on me, and I am to blame for this great calamity. But please don't blame Shousuke-sama for the shogun. ’

Ran Shang Mu Tan looked sideways at Ran Shang Tu, and then at your grandmother and said, 'Your Majesty said this, which makes me really uneasy. Tonight's incident, or blame me for not making the reason clear. ’

Ran Xiangtu couldn't help but say, 'Your Majesty, all the blame is due to my arrogance and stubbornness. If I had listened to the words of Xiangshi, I would not have what I am today. Please condemn me, Your Majesty. I can hardly match the importance of the position of Zaifu, and I also ask Your Majesty to appoint another capable person to live in it. ’

Your grandmother said, 'The ruler and the minister are one, and you are the head of the courtiers, so I should have more trust in you.' You have already done this in front of me, and I made the final decision, and you are not guilty. The position of Zaifu, worrying about labor, is a chore. If you feel that you can't bear the hard work and want to go to work and retire for a long time, I will not force it, but if you want to take the blame and retire because of this matter, don't mention it again. ’

Ran Xiangtu stood up and knelt down in front of the couch with a thud and wept bitterly.

When your grandmother saw this, she said, 'Get up, and this is the end of the past, and there is no more talk of it.' I have come to you to discuss tomorrow. ’

Ran Xiangtu stood up, sat back in his seat, and said, "Your Majesty, we were just outside the tent, and we were also talking about tomorrow's return. ’

Your grandmother was surprised and said, 'Hui Luan? ’

Ran Xiangtu said: "This trip, the celestial phenomena have shown unfavorable, and such a thing has happened tonight, so it is better to return to Luan first, and then go to the temple of gods to worship at an auspicious time on another day." ’

Your grandmother smiled and said, 'The disadvantage shown by the celestial phenomena was an hour ago, and it is no longer counted. ’

The four of us asked in unison, 'Why is that?'

Your grandmother said, 'When I was young, I learned some tricks from my adoptive mother. There are two sides to the good and the bad in the world. The great one is a blessing, and the great one is a curse. The purpose of divination is to foretell good and evil. Human common sense, knowing blessings will tend to them, and knowing disasters will avoid them. But the world doesn't know a truth, the blessings and misfortunes in life are determined by heaven long ago, and if the blessings do not tend to come, they will come naturally, although the disasters have been avoided, it is only for a while, and he will come again one day. Therefore, there is a cloud in the "Xiangjing": it is better to cultivate blessings than to seek blessings, and it is better to avoid disasters than to avoid disasters. And the first way to deal with disasters is to finish them. What is a calamity, that is, a calamity that has already befallen it, or in some way, has caused the effect of a calamity that has already befallen it. Today, we have already met with calamity, that is, the evil signs that the priests divined have been removed. An hour ago, we were in a disadvantageous position, but now it is a sign of good fortune. ’

Ran Xiangqin said, 'Your Majesty, is this the truth that blessings and misfortunes depend on each other?'

Your grandmother nodded slightly.

But Ran Xiangtu was still worried, and said in a hesitant manner: "Your Majesty's argument, the old minister has indeed never heard of it. Even so, with His Majesty's body, how can it withstand the bumps along the way?'

Your grandmother said, 'Although I have been injured in many places, according to the doctor, I have not hurt my muscles and bones, and as long as I recuperate for a day or two, I will be fine.' Now I feel much better. ’

As he spoke, he sat up. Seeing this, the attendant next to her hurriedly put on a cushion and helped her to sit on the couch recliningly.

When your grandmother saw that all four people on the couch had a bitter look on their faces, she smiled and said, "You don't have to be sad, aren't I doing well? If I retreat from the battle this time, how can I be this monarch in front of the whole people. Besides, the ritual of sacrifice is a major event within the clan, and once the hexagram is temporarily changed, there is also a suspicion of deceiving the gods, which will be a very unfavorable thing for my entire clan. Even if I fight this body and bones, I can seek the well-being of the whole clan, and it is considered to be appropriate. ’

Ran Xiangtu was speechless, bowed his head and was silent.

Ran Xiangqin asked, 'I wonder when we will leave tomorrow?'

Your grandmother said, 'Let's go with the arrangement.' ’

After speaking, he looked at Burning Clothes.

Ran Xiangtu said, "Your Majesty has just suffered a great injury, so let's rest tomorrow and leave the day after tomorrow." ’

Your grandmother shook her head.

Then he said, 'Then go two hours tomorrow night, and it will not be too late to walk again when the sun rises on the mountain and the sun reaches the bottom of the valley, so that you can avoid the morning wind and dew.' ’

Then your grandmother shook her head and said, 'Go back and rest, and in another hour you will have to get up and get ready, and sleep for a while, or you won't have the energy for tomorrow.' ’

The four of us stood up and saluted, and were about to leave the tent.

Your grandmother said, "General Mutan, you should also go with the team, and usually help Lord Tu lead the troops and come up with ideas." ’

Ranshengmu thanked him frankly, and the four of us went out of the big tent.

Early the next morning, the team set off on time and marched forward.

Along the way, the camp was pulled out early, and the pot stove was buried at night, and it was safe and sound.

On the fortieth day, the brigade came to the end of the avenue between the two mountains, where there was a dense forest, and the forest was full of pine trees surrounded by two people, one by one, straight and straight, and the tips of the trees pierced into the sky.

Underneath the pine trees were dense bushes of thorns. Clusters of thorns extend to the depths of the pine forest, and there is no edge in sight, blocking the three-zhang high space below the entire pine forest, like a thorn wall with infinite thickness.

The team marched in front of the thorn wall, and the dreddens in the team threw their blue glowing mallets at the thorn bush, and the cold mallets gradually gathered in the air, forming a brilliant blue and crystal clear aerial avenue, one end of the aerial avenue landed on the ground under the feet of the previous team, and the other end gradually rose, over the highest point of the thorn bush, and extended all the way to the depths of the dense forest.

The brigade stepped on the blue-colored avenue and marched into the depths of the secret forest.

After about half an hour of travel, the dense forest ahead suddenly became dark.

Soon, a cliff appeared in the forest, and the other end of the aerial avenue composed of cold light mallets was just connected to the cliff in mid-air. As the team approached, a secret door opened there. The team entered the secret door.

After a dark cave, the front suddenly opened up.

When we walked out of the cave, I was stunned by what we saw.

It was like another world, beautiful and fantastical.

Overhead, there was a 'sky' glowing with a faint green light, and the 'sky' was like a flowing piece of jasper, constantly swaying and rippling, emitting colorful and agile light. There was no sun or moon in the sky, no stars, only thousands of silver-glowing fish and shrimp swimming in it.

Only then did I remember what Ran Xiang Tho said, that there is water covering the top of the inner wall of the ancestral mountain, forming a laketop lake. It turned out that there was not a sky overhead, but a lake suspended in the air.

The ground is covered with colorful plants and trees, and the leaves and grass are constantly changing colors and colors. The flowers that bloom on the grass have only one color - green. The green flowers also continue to change from dark green to light green, and then from light green to dark green, and against the backdrop of the colorful grass, it looks extremely beautiful.

The beasts on the ground and the birds and insects flying in the air have the appearance of something that is not found in the outside world, and they are all covered with fluorescence.

Following a golden path in the middle of the meadow, the procession headed into the depths of the magical land.

Soon after, I came to a magnificent building.

The building, a hundred feet high, was carved like a huge piece of white jade, and there was no trace of masonry in sight. Shaped like a big peng that is about to fly, on both sides of the main hall, there are two side halls.

In the center of the main hall of the building, a huge sun is carved. I guess this is the Temple of the Gods.

The brigade changed from a long line to a square line, lined up in the square in front of the temple.

Your grandmother's chariot stopped at the front of the line, and I, Ran Xiang, Ran Xiang Qin, and Ran Shang Mu Tan got off the horse and stood behind the chariot.

At this moment, a group of people came out of the main hall in the center.

When I got closer, I realized that these men were all drought, each wearing a white robe, and the first one was wearing a high hat, and holding a dusty thing three or four feet long in his hand.

I leaned over and asked, 'What are these people doing?'

Ran Xiangtu said softly, "They are the temple keepers, and the ones who walk in the front are the temple worshippers. ’

I asked, 'Why are they all Drylands, isn't it true that the temples are not the exclusive sacrificial places of worship of the Dryfish, but the common places of worship of all the people of the world?' ’

Ran Shang Tu said, "I have heard the old people say that among the gods, the god is the greatest, and the daughter of the ancestor of our clan, the goddess Lu, is the second daughter of the god, and she is a human in the lower realm, and she is the only bloodline of the god in the world. When the temple was built, the tribes unanimously elected the descendants of the gods as the rulers of the temple. And the descendants of the gods, there is only me in the world. Therefore, fifty people were selected from our people to reside in the temples of the gods, and they rotated every ten years. ’

At this time, the group of temple guards and spirit officers, under the leadership of the worship officer, have already arrived in front of your grandmother's car.

The officers took off their robes first, saluted in front of the car, put on their robes again, and took a few steps back.

Your grandmother got out of the chariot, saluted the spirits, and followed them towards the temple. ”
