v2.Chapter 406 (1/2)
The next spring.
According to the historical records of the Later Zhou Dynasty, in March of the fifth year of the new Yuan Dynasty, Ji Yufu, the Taizu of the Zhou Dynasty, led the royal family and the retinue guard of honor, Gu Shubai, the Regent, led the civil and military officials, and drove the Buddhist chariot for hundreds of miles. Accompanied by Koryo and Fusang, envoys and chiefs of Turks, Khotan, Persia, Tianzhu, Silla, Baiji and other countries.
All nations come to celebrate, the weather is magnificent.
In April, when they gathered at the foot of Mount Tai, they ordered the Taishi Tianyun to break through and build a round Mound Altar four miles south of Mount Tai, which was decorated with five colors of earth and named ”FengSi altar”. At the top of the mountain, an altar was built, five feet wide and nine feet high, which was called Dengfeng altar; at SheShou mountain, an octagonal square altar was built, which was called descending Zen altar.
Yufu and Gu Shubai first worshiped the heaven at the foot of the mountain; the next day they ascended Daiding and sealed yuce at dengfengtan; the third day they went to sheshoushan to worship the earth God. At the beginning of Yu Fuxing's offering, Gu Shubai ascended to the altar to offer.
After such a fuss, it was considered the end of Fengchan, and the pilgrimage was celebrated by the officials. Long live Shanhu.
Under the help of jade, three steles of ”Dengfeng”, ”jiangchan” and ”Hajj” were erected, which were called ”Wuhe platform” for FengSi altar, ”Wansui platform” for Dengfeng altar and ”Jingyun platform” for jiangchan altar.
He also named the God of Mount Tai as ”Tianqi Rensheng emperor”; the goddess of Mount Tai as ”Tianxian Yunv Bixia Yuanjun”, and changed the year name ”Xinyuan” to ”Shengyuan”, which means that the new era of the great Zhou Dynasty has entered its heyday.
The whole ceremony was very long and lasted for three months. Yu Fu was very tired.
For the accompanying children, such as Huashang and Yuanzhang, it was a very interesting trip, which made them have endless aftertaste when they grew up.
”Go, there are monkeys on the mountain over there. They can peel peaches!”
Ouyang tielv didn't come originally. After hearing that Huashang and he were all going, he pestered Ouyang Qi to come and repeatedly assured him that he would be obedient.
Ouyang Qi dotes on his old son after all. After hearing his repeated promises, he naturally allows him to accompany him.
It can be imagined that Ouyang Qi was disappointed, and Ouyang tielv's life was not ”obedient”.
”Is it true that monkeys are so picky about food and skin?”
Gu Jiaojiao's eyes are wide open in surprise. He doesn't peel peaches, but his mother Su Yunyan is much more delicate. Every time he eats peaches, he asks his father to peel them.
Now, listening to Ouyang tielv's words, Gu Jiaojiao doubts her understanding of his mother - monkeys eat peaches without skin, so his mother is not delicate.
Ouyang tielv patted his chest and promised, ”what are you doing? I just saw it yesterday. If you don't believe it, go and have a look yourself! ”
After that, pointing to the valley over there, I will take Gu Jiaojiao and them there.
Yuan Zhang was about to catch up when he saw Ning Yidan holding Hua's sleeve and said timidly, ”I'm afraid monkeys will catch me.”
Ning Yidan was born thin and weak. She didn't practice martial arts since she was a child. She could only read books. She should be afraid of monkeys.
What's more, Ouyang tielv also described those monkeys as so powerful that they would peel when eating peaches. How could they be like monkeys?
It's monkey spirit!
Ning Yidan didn't dare to go, and Hua Chang also gave birth to the meaning of retreat.
First, she can't guarantee that she can beat monkeys. Second, Ning Yidan won't go. It's hard to leave her alone here. Let's play by ourselves, right?
Hua Chang then said, ”why don't you go? Yidan and I will go for a walk by the stream. There are many beautiful pebbles in the stream.”
The boys are not interested in pebbles. When they see Ning'an, Ning Ping, Yuan Zhang and Gu Jiaojiao, they want to compromise. Ouyang tielv gives yuan Zhang a wink.
Yuan Zhang was stunned, almost instantly understood Ouyang's iron law.
He is gesturing himself to pacify Ning Yidan!
Yuan Zhang doubted for a moment why Ouyang tielv wanted him to pacify Ning Yidan instead of going by himself? It's a pity that he hasn't had time to figure it out. His body has subconsciously gone to Ning Yidan.
”We protect you. Don't be afraid. You see, brother Ouyang, brother Ning'an and brother Ning Ping are very powerful. ”
After hearing this, Ning Yidan looked at Ouyang tielv and finally yuan Zhang.
Well, she still thinks Yuanzhang is the best.
Hua Chang saw that her eyes were loose, so she said with a smile, ”let's go together. If the monkey is too strong, we can't fight, we'll ask the imperial army for help.”
After that, he pointed to the dense tree behind him. The children all looked at the place, but they didn't see a single person, let alone the imperial guards.
Ouyang tielu said quickly: ”what kind of imperial guards? Where is it? ”
Hua Chang also looked back in the trees. For a long time, he didn't even see the corner of his clothes. He had no choice but to show his hand. ”I don't know. Anyway, they are here. I'm sure about that.”
Since the earthquake in the capital last year, Yufu has sent elite members of the imperial army to follow Huashang. Those people usually hide in the dark, which does not affect the children's play, and can protect them in time.
The children believed in Hua Shang's words. Since she said someone would protect her, there must be someone to protect her.”What are you waiting for? Let's see the monkeys
Ouyang iron law strongly encouraged everyone to follow him to the valley he said.
Along the way, the trees became denser and denser, and the canopy was so dense that it blocked the sunshine. The valley became more and more lively, and the birds' calls came from the branches from time to time.
The sound of birds is clear and pleasant, which attracts the attention of children all at once, and everyone likes it very much.
Gu Jiaojiao's voice was bigger, and he could fly up a tall Wutong tree. When it flew up, it dragged its long colorful feathers, and every child's lips were all made into a circle.
”Wow, that's like a phoenix!”
They haven't seen the legendary Phoenix. Just now, the long tailed and colorful bird looks just like the legendary Phoenix.
They couldn't help but follow the beautiful bird to the depth of the valley. Until they could no longer see the bird, they realized that they had run to a strange place.
The trees here are so dense that they can hardly let out any sunlight. It's dark everywhere.
Ning Yidan is afraid at first. Yuan Zhang and others protect Hua Shang behind him. Hua Shang protects Ning Yidan by his side.
”Ouyang tielv, where is the monkey you said?”
Gu Jiaojiao's tone was trembling. She seemed very afraid. She pretended not to be afraid and asked about Ouyang tielv monkey.
Ouyang tielv also realized that there might be danger deep in the forest, and his voice was not as loud as usual. ”Monkey, monkey is probably...”
Before his words fell to the ground, a shadow suddenly shook in the dark in the distance, which made Gu Jiaojiao scream.
Hua Chang quickly covered his mouth, ”Shh, don't bring the beast.”
She was not very afraid, at least more daring than Gu Jiaojiao. She said, ”don't panic, we may have gone too far and lost our way. I'll see if I can call out the secret protection of the imperial guards. Don't be afraid. ”
Then he looked around at the trees and said in a small voice, ”is anyone there? We are lost. If you are still here, will you come out and show us the way? ”
There was no sound from the top of the trees in the forest, only the distant bird calls came from time to time. I don't know if they were responding to Hua Chang's words.
Hua Chang patiently asked three or four times, but she didn't get any answer. She was sure that the imperial guards who had been following her secretly were not here.
Ning An slightly frowned and said, ”are we just running too fast? The forest here is deep and dense, so the people who secretly follow and protect are also lost?”
Yuan Zhang said, ”it should be so. But don't worry. They are all well-trained soldiers. They will find us soon. Before they find us, we need to find our own way out
After that, he looked around, trying to identify the direction in the dark.
But what did he think? The black trees all around stretched out a variety of branches. They were like the devil waiting to catch passers-by in the dark, which filled people with fear.
