Chapter 4 The Story of Baiyun Palace and Star Castle

A good friend in Baiyun Palace I saw a beautiful tree, it was pink, and there was a golden cat on the tree, although the cat was very cute, but I didn't get close to it, because I was scratched by a cat One thing I can never forget. The cat came down from the tree, and it did, because the other cats climbed down with their paws in their arms, while its body was at right angles to the trunk, and its hind feet walked with ease.After getting off the tree, it came to me and seemed to smile a bit, then it opened its front paw, and there was a small piece of paper in the paw, and the small piece of paper began to expand rapidly. The cat put it on the ground and said to me: "This is The travel map of the fairy tale world, I wish you good luck, child of the earth." After finishing speaking, he walked slowly up the tree.

I was so excited that I forgot to say thank you, and I couldn't wait to see the travel map.The words "Baiyun Palace" on the tourist map attracted me.It is also written on the picture: To go to the "Baiyun Palace", you must pick a glowing leaf from the pink tree at the entrance of the fairy tale world.So I climbed up the tree and picked a leaf, and when the leaf touched my hand, I flew up. Curiosity made me open my eyes, and I saw many white clouds, and the higher the altitude, the more clouds there were, and finally they merged into an endless sea of ​​clouds.I stood on the sea of ​​clouds and saw a magnificent palace, which is the "Baiyun Palace".

I thought, since it is a palace, there must be many guards guarding it, and you cannot enter through the main entrance.I walked around to the right rear of the palace, and saw emerald green clouds emerging from a golden cylindrical tube on the roof, so I carefully climbed up to the roof, and then got into the cylinder without any hassle.However, I passed out as soon as I slid down. When I woke up, I found myself lying on a bed covered with white clouds, with a beautiful little girl sitting beside the bed.It turned out that the so-called cylinder I drilled was actually the chimney of the "Baiyun Palace" kitchen.People here cook with different fuel than the earth, so the color of the smoke is emerald green.Then the cook brought me up to the queen - this beautiful girl in front of me.The Queen told me her name is Margaret and she is thirteen years old.She listened to me tell many interesting things about the earth, and I visited the big garden of the harem with her. The flowers here are full of colorful clouds, and there is a black tulip with dark clouds as petals.

It's time for lunch, and the chef serves up a sumptuous meal.I was stunned: chefs are all children.Margaret told me that the people here are children.When I told her that I went into the chimney because I was afraid of being detained by the guards, she smiled and said, "My guards are also children. Are they so scary? You are so scared that you don't even dare to enter the front door, so you go into the chimney." , how about it, let's smoke enough!" I opened the travel map, and Margaret came over to look at it. I was going to the "Star Castle" tomorrow, and she said she would go with me.We talked for a long time at night.I asked: "You are gone, what about the 'Baiyun Palace'?" "My little minister will manage it for me. The officials in my palace are all children, because I believe in the power of children, don't you? Right , Tomorrow we don’t need to go to the ‘Star Castle’ according to the method on the tourist map, we’ll go by my ‘Flying Cloud’.” Let her say this, I’m so excited that I don’t want to sleep, I really look forward to tomorrow coming soon.

Mr. Wisdom in the "Star Castle", we set off on the "Flying Cloud" early in the morning. "Feixiangyun" flew very fast, and "Star Castle" was not too far away, and it took about one meal to arrive. The "Flying Cloud" landed outside the castle, and Margaret made the "Flying Cloud" a little bigger, put it in her pocket, and said, "I have a cousin who lives here, let's go to her place." Once in town, we headed straight to the house of Margaret's cousin Joan.Joan warmly entertained us, and after a short rest, I proposed to visit the school here, because I still don't know what the school in Fairy Tale World looks like.She readily agreed: "Well, that unlucky school is worth seeing."

Joan led us to what she called the unlucky school—Star School, and told us such a thing: There was a teacher in Star School who called himself Mr. Wisdom, and his teaching methods were only three: reading, memorizing, and copying.He is the only teacher in the whole school, and hundreds of students learn according to his teaching methods in various classrooms every day.He is only responsible for leaving homework for the students, telling his students which book to memorize and which book to copy. The tuition at this school is outrageously expensive.It turned out that the tuition included the money for copying paper.Because Mr. Wisdom's homework is overwhelming the students, the children have to write until late at night every day, the paper is used up, and the store has closed, so many children can't finish their homework.Buy it in advance, you can't buy hundreds of kilograms and put it at home, there is no room.Therefore, our Mr. Wisdom asked the students to pay in a unified way, buy several tons of paper and store it in the school warehouse, and distributed five kilograms to each person every day.It is said that since the establishment of this star school, a paper mill that was facing bankruptcy due to various reasons has been turned around and made a fortune.

Furthermore, there are glasses fees and brain treatment fees included in the tuition fees.According to Mr. Wisdom's experience, students have to wear myopia glasses after studying for a period of time according to his brilliant teaching method.The nearsighted glasses here are roughly the same as those on the earth, except that two overlapping nets made of special materials are installed where the lenses should be installed, similar to the nets on the speakers of a tape recorder, only denser than it , After the student wears it, it looks like a big fly.Oh, what a pity! Regarding the treatment of brain fee, every few days, the students are taken to the brain hospital by Mr. Wisdom to treat their brains that have turned into wood.Of course, a head turned into wood is not so wonderful, but Mr. Wisdom thinks that there is nothing wrong with turning a head into wood a little bit.In that way, students will not have strange ideas, and will not study and explore all day long like students in other schools in the fairy tale world.

The three of us are determined to save Mr. Wisdom and his students. I heard from Joan’s brother that there is a spring city where there are various springs, many of which are medicinal springs, which specialize in curing various diseases.We took the "Feixiangyun" to Quanshui City. Spring City is worthy of its name, and there are really many springs.Every roadside has a flowing spring.The spring is very narrow and is reserved for people with walking disabilities.As soon as you stand on it, it carries you forward like a conveyor belt.It seems that it is no different from the springs on the earth, but there is not even a splash when we step on it. The springs in every road are connected and can carry us to the location of the medicine spring.

Along the road, we saw a painter dipping his brush into the "Seven-Color Spring" flowing in the groove of the tree trunk on the side of the road Painting; a mother led her child to enjoy music by the "Dingdong Spring"; a chef was taking "seasoning spring" A girl is washing her face with water from a "moisturizing spring"... When we came to the location of the medicinal spring, we saw various medicinal springs flowing in the crystal-cut springs. There are crystal tablets in front of the medicine spring, on which are written the name and usage of the medicine spring.We took the "Wisdom Spring", "Mingyan Spring" and "Qingnao Spring" and immediately took the "Feixiangyun" back to the Star Castle.

We used the "Bright Eye Spring" and "Clear Brain Spring" for the students. If it weren't for the inexhaustible supply of each medicinal spring, or for Margaret's use of fairy magic to bring a lot, it would be impossible to heal the students in the school. sick.We forced Mr. Wisdom to obey the "Spring of Wisdom", and he had real wisdom.All the problems were solved, and the students stopped writing so many homework. Mr. Wisdom led them to study and explore. We bid farewell to Joan and started a new journey full of fairy tales.
