Wang Jin of Huaishan fell into the memory of his first encounter with the King of Chu.
Desert.
On that day, the King of Chu negotiated with the King of Qin to return to Chu. The two guard soldiers, together with the King of Chu and the guards, left the Qin Palace and entered the Hexi Corridor eastward. The carriages rolled by. The King of Chu told his attendants:
"Be careful! Maybe King Qin has some bad ideas in his heart."
"Come on! Let's go! After we finish our work, we can return to the palace early." The guard soldiers urged from time to time.
"You two don't know, it took us a month to come to Qin. Now you want us to get to the Chu Palace in three days?" King Peng Junmai of Chu was really humorous. After saying this, he laughed heartily again.
"This old emperor has a personality like a child! It's funny." The two soldiers muttered to each other.
"Like a child, good!" King Chu heard this and he was happy again. The attendant grinned and smiled too.
The slender Hexi Corridor stretched under the feet of the four of them. The sun was shining brightly, the rivers were forked, and cattle and sheep occasionally walked by. The King of Chu felt that his trip was worthwhile, "Everything in the world is the king's land; the shore of the land is all the king's ministers." As the king of Chu State, he enjoyed the magnificent mountains and rivers north of the Yellow River and felt extremely happy in his heart. Although all parties in the world are now independent, they are quite proud to own the mountains and rivers of Hunan and Xiang. What's more, I went to Qin State and was accompanied by such beautiful scenery all the way back. Aren't you happy?
After walking through the Hecha area, smoke and dust slowly began to appear in front of us.
Arrived in the desert area. Suddenly there was a strong wind, the sky was dark and the earth was dark, and sand and rocks were flying.
"This weather! This wind and sand allow me to experience some wonderful scenery again." King Chu was still immersed in admiring the natural scenery.
"Your Majesty, let's take a rest. The wind and sand are a bit strong!" the attendant reminded King Chu.
"This is the desert area. In the desert area, such a big sandstorm is very common!" The two soldiers continued to explain.
"It's okay! There will always be a break in the natural wind and sand; we have lived in the south of the Yangtze River for a long time, and we have never experienced such beautiful scenery. It's quite fun to gallop in the wind and sand." King Chu's carriage moved forward quickly, and the soldiers also Follow quickly. This is really:
"Sands and stones dance wildly in the sky,
The carriage flies across the sea of sand,
The benevolent king is flying and the sky is roaring,
The sound of autumn rustles in the wind. "
"Your Majesty, why don't you get out of the car and enjoy the wonders of this desert wind and sand?" the attendant suggested.
"But the boy reminded me." King Chu was overjoyed and didn't want to miss the opportunity to watch the sand in the desert.
King Chu got out of the car, covered his eyes with his left hand, and looked around. It was a wonderful scene beyond the Great Wall! It was a muddy yellow, and the long ancient road was covered with yellow sand. When the wind blows, along the direction of the wind, a wisp of flying sand rises from the ground. The threads rise, fly and rise along the direction of the wind, dance in the air in an arc, then slowly go down and slide gently; and then again Tufts, wisps of flying sand are connected into lines, strings, and beautiful arcs. As the wind passed by, the melodious dust in the air slowly floated on the sand surface, stopping on the ground, raising a wisp of golden smoke. Looking down at this vein of yellow sand, it is so fine and soft that you can hold it in your hand. Spread it on your fingertips, and it will slide down, giving people a soft, warm, delicate and agile feeling. The King of Chu suddenly felt very warm in his heart: He came to Qin alone, and someone escorted him back to Chu. The King of Qin still gave me a lot of respect from the King of Jiangnan Chu!
A trace of happiness slipped through my heart!
See the spreading yellow sand and appreciate the vastness of the desert. Moreover, looking at King Qin's daily behavior, it is a great reward from God that he can still walk on the ancient road back to the Chu Palace safely. King Peng Junmai of Chu exhaled a long breath.
"Your Majesty, let's set off. The wind has stopped now!" the attendant warned the King of Chu.
"Let's go, let's go. What's so good about this yellow sand? How long will it take to get to Chu?" Two soldiers also urged.
"Are you leaving again?" King Chu seemed to be reluctant to leave and returned to the carriage.
Keep driving forward. The wind stopped. The horse-drawn carriage wheels rolled over the continuous sea of sand, emitting an exquisite and graceful low-pitched music that permeated the quiet sea of sand. The King of Chu in the south of the Yangtze River had been away from the Chu Palace for more than a month. He recalled Queen Xuanqi in his heart. At this moment, he was eager to return home and accelerated the pace of his drive. The rolling sound of the carriage's windlass continued.
A strange aroma came from the front and hit King Chu's nostrils. "Instigate, inhale, instigate, inhale" King Chu kept sniffing and sniffing lightly. This aroma was so beautiful that it penetrated into the bone marrow.
"Do you smell it? There is a strange aroma ahead. It smells very comfortable." King Chu opened the curtain of the carriage and asked the attendant softly. He did not want to break the ancient silence of the desert.
The attendant was also immersed in the boundless fragrance, just grabbing the edge of the carriage and nodding lightly.
The fragrance fills the air and the carriage gallops. King Chu felt an inexplicable joy in his heart.
Suddenly, the carriage was pushed forcefully from behind by two soldiers. The carriage flipped over and rolled to the lowest point of the sand sea. The king of Chu was caught off guard, had a convulsion and lost consciousness. ...The Chu King's attendant was also thrown thirty meters away by inertia.
The two soldiers saw the King of Chu being submerged in the sea of sand, and immediately returned to the Qin Palace...
When King Chu woke up, he found himself lying on a small khaki bed in a magical sea of flowers. The sea of blue flowers is like sapphire, like a strange blue veil, like blue diamonds, and like stars shining in the sky. In the boundless sea of sand, these blue elves are twinkling and dancing in the morning light. .
A handsome boy of thirteen or fourteen approached him, stretched out his hand and lifted up the blue gauze curtain.
"Are you awake? You have been unconscious for three days and three nights."
Open your red lips lightly, and your accent will roll down like a jade-moistened pearl. This beautiful young man’s voice is as clear as a bell! What a handsome and handsome young man! The skin is fair, the jade face is like the moon, the nose is as high as a hanging gallbladder, the eyes are like torches, and the red lips are like cherries. The extended right hand is as white as waxy, with slender jade fingers that flexibly form a semi-arc shape. He wears a white undershirt with a waistcoat and a blue-purple belt with a jade-white jade pinned to the belt. His white robe spreads across the floor, highlighting his slender waist like a willow, curly and graceful.
King Chu had never seen such a beautiful young man! He looked at it for a long time, dumbfounded.
"Who are you? How did you end up unconscious in my world?" the boy asked after a while.
"I am the King of Chu of Jiangnan! If you don't know me, how can you save me?" King Chu vaguely remembered the last scene. The carriage was pushed by a powerful force and flew out upside down...
"So you are the King of Chu! Come to Qin to negotiate? You fainted in my world. If I don't save you, who will save you?" The young man laughed briskly "Hahahaha", and there was obviously a hint of laughter in his smile. Pain.
"Who are you? How can there be such a beautiful young man like you in this boundless sea of sand?"
"Call me 'Lan Bian'." Seeing that the King of Chu was still calm after he woke up from a coma, as if it was expected, the young man told him his name.
"Lan Bian'an? I've never heard of this name. You are thirteen or fourteen years old, how could you end up living in this desert world?"
The young man was speechless, a trace of melancholy suddenly flashed in his eyes, tears flashed, and then hatred suddenly appeared.
"I have been away from Chu Palace for more than a month. I have two sons, the eldest prince Lieying Wangshan, and the second prince Yushen Wangbu."
A Sanskrit voice came from the sky above the vast sea of sand: "King Peng Junmai of Chu, you recognize him as your third son. What a handsome young man he is!"
The King of Chu was extremely surprised. Why did this voice sound so like the rich voice of Tathagata Buddha? "Regard him as the third son? Is this the will of God? Anyway, I just lack a son of such an old age."
"Lan Bi'an. Why are you so stubborn? How about you being my third son? Our Jiangnan Chu Palace lacks a son as beautiful as you."
"King Chu is willing to adopt me as his son?" The young man was so shocked that his face flushed and he was shy and took two steps back.
"However, your name is a bit hard to pronounce. I'll name you 'Jin' and make you King of Huaishan. How about you be called Huaishan King Jin? This 'heart'-shaped jade pendant is a meeting gift I gave you as a father."
The blue clouds rise again, beautiful and colorful. The young man's eyes, which originally shone with hatred, were filled with tears, showing his sincerity. He stretched out his hand, took the jade pendant, and bowed deeply to the King of Chu:
"Father, please accept the courtesy of kneeling down and worshiping me!"
The young man knelt three times before the King of Chu. Kneel down once and God has given him his father. Kneel down twice and he can leave the vast sea of sand. Kneel down three times and he can express his ambition and take revenge.
After kneeling down, the young man stepped forward, helped King Chu up, and held King Chu's waist.
"Father, we are going back to Chu Palace right now."
"Go back to Chu Palace, go back to Chu Palace now." The King of Chu repeated the words of Huaishan Wang Jin and cried. "It's just my attendant? It's a pity that he was buried in the sea of sand!"
"Father, look..."
"Your Majesty, thank you for this young man!" The attendant thanked the young man with tears in his eyes, and then paid homage to the King of Chu.
A burst of blue smoke rose, and without even a stick of incense, the attendants, accompanied by the King of Chu, arrived at the Chu Palace with King Jin of Huaishan. (To be continued)
