In ancient times, Tayimu was the famous King Kapil and the ruler of the Baini Shelang people.At that time, among the Baini Shelang people, there were 10,000 brave chiefs, and each chief owned 100 impregnable towns, and also governed seven independent kingdoms. Kings of all countries came from all directions obediently. Bow down to him, pay tribute.He treats everyone equally, acts fairly, and has boundless power. Unfortunately, he has never had children, so he often broods, as if he had lost something.He sincerely hoped that God would reward him with a son so that he could inherit the country and the country after his death.One day, full of hope, he called together the famous wise men, prophets and fortune tellers in the country, and said to them:

"You do the divination for me, and see if God will give me a son in this lifetime to inherit my throne?" Prophet and fortune-teller obeyed his orders, studied the books and observed the stars in fear, and then said together: "Reporting to Your Highness, the divination shows that His Highness will definitely have an heir in the future, but in the future, only the daughter of Hu Lhasa Kingdom will give birth to a crown prince for His Majesty." The king was overjoyed, and rewarded the prophet and fortune teller heavily. After sending them away, he immediately summoned the prime minister to convey his will.

The prime minister's name was Anu Zuo, a warrior with both civil and military skills, fairness and honesty. The king told him the results of the divination by the prophets and fortune tellers, and said, "My love, I want you to pack your bags immediately and go to the Hulasa country. , propose to the princess of this country for me." "Understood, follow orders." The prime minister agreed to step back, and immediately prepared to pack, and summoned a large group of people to gather outside the city, waiting for the order to set off.The king wrote a letter of proposal, and selected a large number of silk, precious stones, gold and silver, and precious hairpin jewelry from the palace, a total of 1,500 pieces, and put them on camels and mules for the prime minister to take. Make a dowry of marriage proposal.

Prime Minister Anu Zuo accepted the king's order and set off with his men and horses and a load of goods. After a long journey, they came to the territory of Hulasa. King Baihelewang of Hu Lhasa heard the news that the prime minister of King Ta Yimu came to propose marriage, so he hurriedly prepared food and grass, and asked the minister to lead a large team to meet each other. After meeting each other, they ate, drank and had fun for ten days, and then set off. Head to the capital. King Baihelewang personally went out of the city to meet Prime Minister Anu Zo, saluted him, arranged everything, and let him live in the castle.

The prime minister dedicated a large number of dowry gifts to the king, and presented a letter from King Ta Yimu.King Baihelewang opened the letter and saw what was written inside: King Tayimu of Kapil sent a letter to His Majesty King Baihelewang of Tiger Lhasa: I wish Your Majesty good health, peace and prosperity. Because of the worries of the heirs, the widow invited wise men and prophets to do divination on his behalf, and learned that the widow will have a son to succeed the throne, and the one who will give birth to the widow's son must be the princess of your country. Therefore, the prime minister, Anu Zuo, is now dispatched to your country with the dowry, to intercede with His Majesty on behalf of the widow, and conclude a marriage contract.I implore Your Majesty to promise generously, and don't make excuses to refuse.Cover what he needs, that is, what the widow wants.

I hope that the beauty of your Majesty's adulthood will be accepted wholeheartedly.Therefore, I hope that your Majesty will allow this marriage, and don't refuse it. As the king of Kabile, the widow belongs to the noble family of Baini Shelang, he is blessed with great wealth, and he is the king of a great country; if he is lucky enough to marry the daughter, then his majesty and the widow will become one, and they can conspire together State affairs, in order to protect the country and the people.From now on, the widow will give a large amount of property every year to prepare for your majesty's frequent needs.

A mere courtesy, a little show of heart, still begging to think about it. King Baihelewang read King Tayimu's letter, and he was very happy. He warmly welcomed and entertained the prime minister, and said: "Your Excellency came so far away, I will definitely fulfill your mission, I will be deeply honored for this, even if your lord needs my life, I will not hesitate to do what is righteous." So, he immediately returned to the harem, reported the news to the princess, the queen and their families, and discussed with them about the princess' lifelong events.Everyone approved of the marriage.road:

"Your Majesty decides! You can do whatever you want." King Baihelewang consulted the queen and princesses, and then went to the castle to meet with Prime Minister Anu Zuo, explaining his welcome attitude towards the marriage proposal, and announced the marriage of the two countries on the spot.The prime minister knew that the marriage proposal had been successful, and he felt extremely relaxed and happy, so he waited wholeheartedly for the marriage procedures. Time flies, and two months later, the prime minister was eager to go back and reply to the king of his country, so he said to King Baihelewang:

"Reporting to Your Highness, I have come here to ask for marriage from your country, I implore Your Highness to be kind, so that I can fulfill my wish as soon as possible and return to my mission." "Okay! Just follow orders." The king happily agreed, and immediately ordered people to prepare, and invited the prime minister, court officials and high priest to participate in the engagement ceremony, and wrote a marriage letter for the princess and king Ta Yimu.The king made a gorgeous dowry for the princess, including priceless rare treasures and gold and silver utensils, and ordered the whole country to decorate with lanterns and colored lights to celebrate the princess's happy event.

When the day when the princess got married came, the king accompanied her reluctantly and sent her to the suburbs all the way.Prime Minister Anu Zuo bid farewell to King Baihelewang, and carefully escorted the princess to return home in triumph. King Ta Yimu was overjoyed to hear that Prime Minister Anu Zuo had brought back the princess. He ordered a big banquet to be held, decorated with lanterns and colorful lights, and happily married the princess.After the marriage, the princess really had a dark womb, and after ten months of pregnancy, she successfully gave birth to a boy, who looked like a full moon, white and fat, very cute.Overjoyed, the king summoned the famous wise men and prophets and said to them:

"For me, you will make a fortune for this baby, and tell me the good and bad fortune of his life." Philosophers and astrologers obeyed their orders, observed the stars immediately, and looked at the divination after calculation, inferring that the future of the prince would be bright, but he would encounter an unexpected situation at the age of fifteen.If you can turn the danger into a breeze, you can conquer the world, make the enemy surrender, expand your power, and become a great king of a generation, with great happiness for life. The king was overjoyed, named the prince Zhan, and asked the wet nurse and nanny to take good care of him. As soon as the prince was five years old, the king began to teach him to read the "New Testament" and learn martial arts.When he was less than seven years old, the prince was well educated, proficient in riding and archery, and his literary and martial arts improved day by day. Finally, he became a brave warrior with both civil and military skills, which made the king feel sincerely pleased. One day, after King Ta Yimu ordered the hunters and horses to be prepared, he led Prince Zhan and the others to hunt on the mountain.In the process of hunting wild animals, everyone competed to show off their skills, and people hunted excitedly. When he was about to go down the mountain in the afternoon, Prince Zhan suddenly found a rare and beautiful antelope, bouncing around in the mountain forest.The prince followed closely to hunt, and the seven attendants also rode forward to help the prince. They worked on their horses and chased the antelope all the way to the seashore.Seeing that the antelope had no way to escape and was about to be caught, it unexpectedly jumped into the water and swam into a fishing boat floating in the sea.Prince Zhan and his entourage got off their horses and waded through the water, came to the boat and caught the antelope.Just as he was preparing to bring his prey home triumphantly, Prince Zhan saw a large island in the sea, and he said to his followers: "I'm going to that island to take a look." "Yes, obey!" The entourage echoed in unison, hurriedly rowed the boat to the island, turned around, and then turned back to the boat, took the antelope, and rowed back to the shore.At this time, the sky was already dark, and it was difficult to distinguish the direction. The boat was blown here and there by the wind and waves.They barely survived the night in the boat. When they woke up early the next morning, they saw nothing but water and sky, and they couldn't find their way back for a while. Seeing that the prince had not returned, King Ta Yimu hurriedly sent his followers to look for him in all directions.Among them, a group of people searched all the way to the seashore, and found an attendant guarding the horses there, so they asked him the whereabouts of the prince and other attendants.He described the situation as it was, and when they heard it, they brought him back with his horse, and reported it to the king, who wept bitterly, and beat himself with remorse, and bit his fingers. After a while, the king calmed down. He immediately wrote a letter and sent people to the island where Prince Zhan was playing. He also summoned hundreds of warships, each carrying countless soldiers, and went to the sea to look for the prince. After everything was arranged properly, he returned to the city with his followers in frustration. The king told the queen about Prince Chan's disappearance.When the queen heard the news that the prince's life and death were uncertain, she was so angry that she beat herself up and cried until she passed out. Other soldiers were ordered to search for Prince Zhan, rowing boats in the boundless sea with all their strength, drifting for ten days and ten nights, but still could not find out the whereabouts of Prince Zhan. Prince Zhan and those six followers have been drifting in the sea since they lost their way. They don't know where they are, their lives are in danger, and they may capsize and fall into the sea at any time. Their boat drifted with the current and was blown to the edge of an island by the wind.They rowed slowly to the shore, and after walking for a while, a man sat by the spring.They came up to greet him, and the man answered them chirping like a bird.When they were puzzled and puzzled, the man's body suddenly split in two and fled in different directions. After a while, countless strange people suddenly emerged from the back of the mountain, rushing straight to the edge of the spring, and as soon as they reached the edge of the spring, their bodies were split in two, revealing a terrifying face that wanted to swallow people alive, and turned to the prince and others. People rushed over.Prince Zhan saw that the situation was critical, so he ran away, ran back to the seashore in one breath, jumped into the boat, and rowed desperately to escape.He looked back in horror, there were only three followers left, and the other three fell into the hands of the weirdos and were eaten by them. Zhan and the four of his entourage escaped from danger, rowing a boat and drifting in the vast sea relying on each other. After one night, they didn't know where to go, and they were very hungry. They were so hungry that they had to kill the antelope to satisfy their hunger. Suddenly the hurricane rolled up again, and the boat couldn't stop the hurricane and was blown to another beach.They abandoned the ship and landed on the island.The island is full of gurgling streams, numerous fruits, and luxuriant branches and leaves. The scene is very charming, just like a fairyland on earth.Zhan Xin was ecstatic and said to his followers: "Go up and scout the situation on the island first." "Let me go." A follower volunteered to go ashore to find out the situation. "It's too dangerous to go alone. You three should go together. I'll wait for your reply here." So the three followers landed and left. They were ordered to go to the island and looked around, but there was no one there.They tried to go deep into the land step by step, and found that there was a marble castle there, and the buildings and pavilions were all built with transparent crystal stones.The castle has gardens and ponds; the gardens are full of fragrant flowers, and the fruit trees with lush branches are full of heavy dried and fresh fruits, and there are melodious birds perched on them; beside the pond is a hall, in which There are rows of chairs and stools, and in the center is a bed made of gold inlaid with beads and jade.They were in the majestic castle, but there was no one there. The sight was astonishing and astonishing. They did not dare to stay for a long time, and hurried back to the seashore to report the reconnaissance results. After hearing this, Zhan said, "I must go and see that castle with my own eyes." So he left the ship and went to the island, and came to the castle with his servants. The castle is really like a paradise.When he saw this magnificent building, he couldn't help being fascinated, surprised and envious.They wandered around in the garden, picked fresh fruits and ate them, indulging in the atmosphere of singing birds and fragrant flowers, and simply lingered.After they had leisurely toured the entire castle, it was already dark, and they returned to the hall by the pool, intending to spend the night there. Zhan sat on the golden bed in the center of the room, with attendants waiting on his left and right.Zhan couldn't help touching the scene, thinking that he had left his hometown, far away from his parents, and lived in a foreign land. His heart was sad and unspeakable, and he couldn't help crying like rain.The attendants also cried bitterly with him. In the midst of sadness, I suddenly heard a loud noise from outside.They looked at the noisy place, and saw as many apes as there were cow hairs swarming by the pool.This time they were terrified. It turns out that this island is a place where apes gather, and the castle on the island is their palace.That evening, they found a small boat that came from nowhere on the beach, and they sank it.The group of monkeys shouted and returned to the castle.Just when Zhan and his followers were panicked, a group of apes had entered the hall.The group of apes looked like humans, knelt down and kissed the ground in front of Prince Zhan Er, then got up, put their hands on their chests, and lined up neatly on both sides.Another group of apes slaughtered a few antelopes they had caught, peeled them and roasted them, put them on big gold plates, and brought them to the hall to invite them to eat. Zhan was pleasantly surprised, got out of bed, and started eating with his entourage and apes. After everyone was satisfied with wine and food, the ape removed the plate and put the fruit again.Everyone ate the fruit and thanked them for their hospitality.Jamby gestured and asked: "Who are you? Does this castle belong to you?" The leader of the apes also gestured back and said: "This was originally the castle of Solomon the son of David. When he was alive, he would live here for a while every year. Now you have become the king of our country, and we are all loyal to you." Your servant, from now on you will eat and live with us, enjoy the wealth and splendor, and we will obey every order of yours." The leader of the apes brought the other apes together, knelt down and kissed the ground, and then the apes exited the hall in an orderly manner and dispersed separately. Zhan and his entourage slept overnight on golden beds and luxurious chairs and stools. In the early morning of the next day, four leaders of the apes, equivalent to prime ministers, came to kowtow to Zhan, and there was a large army of apes behind them.After the team lined up around Zhan, the four leaders came over, gestured and rowed, pointed at the team and told him that they must be managed and treated fairly and reasonably.The team cheered Long live and retreated, leaving a few apes as Zhan's bodyguards.Afterwards, the guards brought several big dogs shaped like war horses, each with a thick iron chain.Jen was amazed at the size of the big dog. At this time, the leader of the apes told Zhan and his followers to ride the dogs and go with them.They rode on their dogs, and left the castle, one after the other, following the walking apes on dogs, in amazement.After walking for a while, when they passed the place where they landed, Zhan saw that the boat he was in had disappeared, so he curiously asked Prime Minister Ape: "Where is that little boat that was here just now?" "Your Majesty," the Monkey King replied, "when you docked, you were actually destined to be our king. We were afraid that when we met, you would escape in a small boat, so we sank it." While listening to Monkey Xiang's answer, Zhan looked at his entourage and sighed, "It's hard for us to fly even if we have wings. Maybe this is God's arrangement. We shouldn't have any objections." So they went on with the monkey team and came to a river.On the other side of the river there is a high mountain full of ghouls.He asked Monkey Phase: "What are those ghouls doing?" "They have a sworn enemy against us, and we are here to fight them." Zhan took a closer look, and saw that the ghouls were all stout, riding tall horses, some with their heads held high, and some with their long tongues sticking out, heading straight down the mountain.On this side of the bank, groups of apes immediately fought with the ghouls.The ghouls were extremely ferocious, and the apes were about to be defeated. The situation was very critical. Zhan shouted loudly and ordered his followers: "Use your bows and arrows to help the monkeys and shoot the ghouls." The entourage immediately drew their bows and arrows, and shot powerfully head-on, killing many ghouls.The ghoul couldn't resist, and was immediately beaten to the ground.Seeing that Zhan's bows and arrows were stronger than those of the ghouls, the apes immediately took courage and waded through the water to take advantage of the victory and pursue them, beating many ghouls to death and wounding them.James T and his entourage followed the apes and rushed forward until they reached the foot of a high mountain. Entering the mountain, Zhan accidentally found a cloud stone stele standing there, on which it was written: Readers of this inscription: Now that you're here, you're the ape king for sure.After you are in power, the apes can live and work in peace and contentment, eliminating the infestation of ghouls.If you want to leave this place and move elsewhere, there are only two ways.1. Three months from east to west along the foothills, passing through dangerous lands inhabited by wild beasts, ghouls, monsters, and elves, to the ocean area.2. Traveling west along the foot of the mountain for four months, after ten days of hardships, crossing the Ant Valley, and then crossing the Huoyan Mountain, there is a raging river at the foot of the Huoyan Mountain, and the river dries up every Saturday.At this point you can go to a large city by the river, the only city in the area whose inhabitants are Jewish. Solomon ben Davidjan, who erected the stele, read the inscription, turned around, and told his followers the content of the inscription.Then he set off with the victorious apes and returned triumphantly. From then on he lived in the castle as king and ruled over many apes. Time flies, time flies.Zhan spent more than a year on the island without knowing it. One day, he ordered his followers to prepare everything and go hunting with him for recreation.Crossing a wild ridge, they moved from one place to another, farther and farther, and finally came to a wide area.According to the records of the cloud stone tablet, there should be the so-called Ant Valley.So they settled down and spent ten days happily lingering.On the tenth night, Zhan quietly told his three followers: "I plan to take you and escape from here across the Ant Valley to the city of Judea. I believe that God will let us get out of this predicament and show us the way out." "We understand, we must do it." The entourage agreed. After dark, Zhan and his entourage dressed neatly, armed with swords, daggers, bows and arrows, traveled day and night, not daring to stay for a moment, and fled overnight. The next morning, when the ape group woke up, they found that Zhan and his entourage had left. They hurriedly divided into two groups, one headed east and the other headed west, and chased them separately. A group of soldiers and horses facing west, without stopping, came to Ant Valley, searched everywhere, and finally found the traces of Prince Zhan and others, so they accelerated their speed, determined to catch and kill them.Seeing that he was about to catch up, suddenly a large group of ants came out from the ground, each of them was as big as a yellow dog, densely packed in the way of the ape, and immediately began to fight with the ape.Many apes were eaten by ants, but many ants were also killed by apes, and both sides suffered heavy casualties.On the surface, the ants had the upper hand. One ant attacked an ape and bit it in two, but the ape did not show weakness. Ten of them attacked one and tore the ant to pieces. They fought harder and harder until it got dark.Prince Zhan and his entourage took this opportunity to escape and walked in the valley for another night. At dawn, Prince Zhan found that the apes were chasing after him, and he ordered his followers loudly: "Hack them with a sword." When the followers heard the order, they drew their swords and rushed towards the group of apes.I saw a particularly thick ape with canine teeth, suddenly jumped in front of him, killed a follower with one bite, and the rest of the apes rushed towards Zhan frantically.At this time, Zhan and the two remaining followers were alone and unable to resist the enemy, so they had to jump down a slope and flee to the depression. Suddenly, there was a big river not far away, and a group of ants by the river blocked the way.At this time, the attendant bravely rushed forward, rushed into the ant colony, raised his sword and fell, cutting an ant in two.Seeing this, the ants rushed up and surrounded the followers. Zhan and another follower took the opportunity to run to the big river bank, jumped into the river, and swam desperately to the opposite bank. After rushing away, Zhan struggled hard, exerted his last strength, and finally grabbed a branch that fell into the river.He climbed to the bank by climbing the branches, took off his clothes, wrung them dry, and dried them on the ground. Then he sat naked on the ground, thinking of his dangerous experience, and could not help weeping. It was getting dark. Zhan was walking in the vast wilderness, he felt very frightened, all his entourage died, and he felt lonely and helpless.In order to save his life, he had to go into the cave to spend the long night. As soon as the next day dawned, he walked out of the cave and ran forward, picking fruits and weeds along the way to satisfy his hunger. He walked continuously for several days and nights and came to the Flame Mountain.He cheered up, bumped around, and finally broke through the steep pass, and came to the edge of the surging river recorded on the stone tablet, and the city of Judea could be vaguely seen across the river.He had to wait patiently for Saturday, when the river dried up and he could cross the riverbed to reach Judea. A few days later, he crossed the river and came to the city full of hope, but there was no one there, and there was a dead silence everywhere, like a dead city.He blankly pushed open the door of a house and walked in, but the people inside were silent and didn't say a word, so he had to introduce himself: "I left my hometown and drifted here. I am very hungry, give me something to eat, and save my life!" They still did not speak, but pointed to the food with their fingers and told him to eat and drink. So he sat down, wolfed down his meal, and stayed there that night. Early the next morning, the master came to greet him and welcome him. The master asked him: "Where are you from? Where are you going?" He burst into tears when he heard the master's question, and then told the master in detail about his experience of distress from the beginning to the end, and finally talked about His father's capital. "We have never heard of this capital," the host said in surprise. "The caravans that come here to do business all say that there is another kingdom called Yemen." "How far is the kingdom of Yemen that the caravans say is from here?" "According to the caravan, it took them two years and three months to get here from Yemen." "When will the caravan come again?" "next year." Hearing his master's answer, Zhan was very disappointed and couldn't help but burst into tears. Thinking of the thrilling encounters along the way after leaving his hometown and leaving his family, Zhan felt that the future was bleak, and couldn't help feeling even more sad. The master sympathized with him very much and comforted him, saying, "Young man, don't be sad. You can stay with us in peace of mind. When the caravan comes next year, let them take you back to your hometown." Zhan had no choice but to live in peace. Two months passed in the blink of an eye.During this period, he went out every day, walking in the streets and alleys, observing the local customs.One day he was wandering in the street when he heard someone shouting loudly: "Who is willing to do the work for us for a morning? The reward is a thousand gold coins and a girl?" He heard the shout and thought: If this If the work wasn't dangerous, you wouldn't get a thousand gold coins and a girl for a morning's work.He went up to the shouter as he thought, and said: "I would like to do this job." The shouter was very pleased to see Zhan come to answer his call, and led him into a luxuriously furnished house, where he saw a Jewish businessman sitting on an ebony chair.The shouter came up to him and said respectfully: "Boss, this young man finally came to apply today." After hearing the report, the businessman expressed his welcome to Zhan, took him to the magnificent reception room, and ordered the servants to bring all kinds of exquisite food, harps, lutes and other musical instruments, and entertained them with singing and dancing until late at night. The next morning, after Zhan took a shower, the businessman said to him, "It's time for you to work for me today." "Understood, follow orders." Zhan Xin readily agreed. The merchant asked his servant to bring two mules, and he and Zhan each rode one, and walked side by side without stopping. At noon, they came to the foot of a towering mountain.The merchant jumped off the mule, told Zhan to get off the mule, handed him a knife and a rope, and said, "Kill this mule." Zhan obeyed the instructions, pinned up the hem of his clothes, rolled up the sleeves, then tied the four legs of the mule with ropes, fell it, killed it, then skinned it, cut off its head and limbs, and a romping mule jumped up and down. The child becomes a pile of fresh meat. The businessman was overjoyed, and told him: "Cut open its stomach, get in, and I will sew you inside. You observe carefully inside, and whatever you see, you must tell me immediately." According to what the businessman said, Zhan took a knife to open the mule's belly and got in. The businessman immediately sewed him inside, and then found a hidden place nearby to hide.After a while, a big bird landed at the foot of the mountain, grabbed the dead mule with its two claws and flew to the top of the mountain. When it was about to peck at it, Zhan struggled desperately to cut the suture, and crawled out of the dead mule.Big Bird saw Zhan and flew away in panic.Zhan stood up and took a closer look. The ground was full of skeletons and sun-dried zombies.He was terrified, and saw the merchant shouting to him at the foot of the mountain: "Throw down some rocks around you first, and then I will tell you how to go down the mountain." After throwing down two hundred stones in one breath, Zhan said to the merchant, "Tell me the way down the mountain, and I'll throw another stone for you." go.The stones he mentioned turned out to be the most precious jades produced on this mountain, such as corundum and peridot. Zhan was trapped on the top of the mountain, screaming every day and the earth should not respond, so he could only cry and pray to God for help. Three days later, there was still no hope. He felt that he was not waiting to die here, so he got up and looked for the way down the mountain.He groped through the rugged hillside, climbed down the steep cliff with his waist bent, gathered weeds to satisfy his hunger, and walked tremblingly for two months. He came to a mountain and saw lush trees growing in a valley in the distance. Birds and beasts come and go.Ecstatically, he headed in that direction.After walking for more than an hour, he came to a valley and saw gurgling water, so he went down the stream.Just as he was looking around and admiring the beautiful scenery around him, he suddenly found a towering palace. He couldn't help but ran to the gate of the palace, only to see a kind and kind old man standing outside the gate. In his hand was a red jade Zen stick.Zhan walked up to the old man and said hello to him.The old man also greeted him, saying: "My child, sit down and rest! This place has almost never been visited by outsiders, so where do you come from? Where are you going?" The old man's question aroused Zhan's melancholy.Thinking of his misery of being displaced and narrowly escaped death, he couldn't help weeping so sadly that he couldn't speak.Seeing how pitiful he was, the old man showed sympathy and said, "Son, don't cry! Your sad crying makes me sad too." He took out some food for Zhan and said, "Eat, fill your stomach first and then talk about it." .” Zhan had long been impatient with hunger, and when he saw the food, he immediately gobbled it up. The old man watched him finish eating and said, "Son, tell me what happened to you. Tell me everything you have experienced." Zhan talked about his life experience and experience from beginning to end.The old man was very surprised when he heard this.Then Zhan said to the old man: "Old man, please tell me, who owns this palace? Whose territory does this vast valley belong to?" "Oh! my son, this palace, this valley, and everything here belongs to Solomon the Great. My name is Nasr, and Solomon the Great entrusted me to manage this palace. He taught me the language of birds and appointed me to be in charge of the world. People call me the king of birds. All the birds come here once a year to worship, to be inspected, and then to go home. That's why I'm here." After listening to the old man's narration, Zhan didn't hear any hope. He was very disappointed and cried, "Old man, how can I go back to my hometown?" "To tell you the truth, my child, if you want to leave this Fangyuan land near Gefu Mountain, you can only stay until the day when all the birds come to pay homage. At that time, I can order a bird to let It took you back. Now you can only stay, stay with me for a while, and wait for the day when the birds come." So, Zhan stayed. He lives with the old man every day, plays, eats and drinks, talks and laughs or travels around, picks and eats all kinds of fresh fruits, and leads a comfortable and comfortable life. The day when the birds come to court is coming, the old man handed Zhan a bunch of keys and said: "Zhan, use this bunch of keys to open all the rooms in the palace, go in and look at the decorations inside, but don't open the last one. One room. Thousands of thousands. If you don't listen to my warning and just open that door and go in, then you will encounter disaster, which will do you a lot of harm but nothing good." After repeated warnings, the old man went out to wait for the birds who were about to worship. After hearing what the old man said, Zhan opened the door of the palace with the key and walked in. He opened it from the beginning in order, looked at all the big and small houses, and finally came to the room that the old man was forbidden to open, and saw a golden lock on the door.He was very curious and thought to himself: "The old man won't let me open this room. Is there something special hidden in it? I must go in and have a look. God willing, he will make me all the best." Nagging, he quickly unlocked the lock with the key in his hand, pushed the door open and entered.I saw a large pond inside, the water in the pond was clear and bright, and the gravel at the bottom of the pond was full of precious gems, pearls and metals.Beside the pool is a pavilion made of gold bricks, silver tiles, and crystal columns. The window lattices are made of carnelian, and the floor is inlaid with peridot, hyacinth stone, emerald and jewels in a certain way.In the center of the pavilion is a fountain made of pure gold, which is filled with clear water.A group of birds and beasts carved with gold and silver squatted around the fountain, and streams of spring water spurted out of their mouths; when the breeze came, their mouths issued twittering and singing.On the left side of the pavilion is a hall, in which there is a corundum throne covered with jewels.Next to the throne was a five-foot-wide green silk tent inlaid with pearls and jade, inside which was a carpet of Solomon the Great.Outside the hall is a garden, the fruit trees in the garden are lush and green, and the branches are covered with heavy fruits.In the flower beds, roses, basil, rosebushes and all kinds of fragrant flowers are blooming.The breeze is blowing, the fragrance of flowers hits the heart, the branches are swaying slightly, and the scenery is very beautiful. With a feeling of admiration, he strolled in the garden, admiring all kinds of strange and beautiful scenery with great interest, intoxicated in the fragrant atmosphere, and forgot to return.Later, he simply entered the hall, and after sitting on the steel jade throne for a while, he got into the tent, fell asleep unconsciously, and fell asleep. After waking up, Zhan walked out of the hall slowly and sat down on a chair in front of the door.Just when he was intoxicated by the wonderful scenery, he suddenly saw three dove-like birds flying to the edge of the pool. After playing for a while, they took off their plumage and turned into three-month-old beauties with a slender figure.The three walked into the pond together, swimming and playing to their heart's content.Their lightness, vivacity, and beauty made him feel refreshed, and he couldn't help standing up, followed them into the garden, approached them, greeted them respectfully, and said: "Excuse me, beautiful ladies, what are your names? Where do you come from?" They greeted him, and the youngest of them said to him, "We have come down from heaven to play here." Knowing that they were fairies descending from the earth, Zhan thought they were beautiful and lovely, so he cried out to the youngest fairy, "Have pity on me, fairy! I am wandering and suffering all kinds of hardships in the world. Please have more sympathy and pity on me." "Stop talking nonsense and go away!" The little fairy flatly refused his request.Zhan wept bitterly, choked with sobs, and chanted sadly: A fair lady, Dressed in green clothes, with long flowing hair, she is playing in the garden. I asked her: 'Please tell me your name? ' She replied: 'I am the woman who burns the hearts of lovers with fire. ' I poured out my love and adoration to her, She said: "What's the use of you asking for love from the stone?" ' I said, 'Even if your heart is like a rock, God will send water through the rock. '" The fairies all laughed when they heard Zhan's recitation, and then continued to play and sing as if nothing had happened, and have fun. Zhan picked fresh fruits for them, had fun with them, and spent the night with them in the hall. In the early morning of the next day, the fairies woke up from their dreams, put on their feather coats, and immediately turned into dove-like birds again, spread their wings and flew away. Jen's heart went with them, as if only the shell remained, and he wandered all day, morose, dizzy with grief, and then lost consciousness and fell over, unconscious. After the old man Nasr gave Zhan some instructions, he broke up with him and received Bainiao who came to court as scheduled.He received birds by category and asked them to kiss his hand.After the pilgrimage, he said to the birds: "I have a young man here. Driven by fate, he came here from a far away place. Now I want you to take him back by the way." "Of order." All the birds answered the bird king in unison. The old man Nasr returned to the palace, but he couldn't find Jan.He called and searched, and at last he saw the door of the house he had forbidden Jen to open open, and he entered.Zhan fell under a tree in the garden, unconscious.He hurriedly sprinkled perfume on Zhan's face to wake him up. Zhan woke up from a coma, looked around, and saw that there was no one else besides the old man Nasr, and suddenly felt that his troubles continued unabated, and he said sadly: "She was slender and fine-skinned, Like the bright moon on the fifteenth night, it appeared before my eyes. Her winking eyes are enough to take away people's rationality, A mouthful of white teeth like pearls, and two red lips like blooming roses. Long black satin shining hair straight down to the waist, 求爱者切莫怨她不束发髻。 她万种风情回眸一瞥, 似拉满弓之箭, 再远的射程都能正中目标。 她倾城倾国,容貌美丽, 只可惜心肠比顽石还坚硬, 世间无人能与她媲美。 " 纳斯尔听了詹的吟诵,摸不着头脑,说道:“孩子,我不是告诉你别开这间房门吗?快把你在这里面看见的和听到的事告诉我吧。” 詹一动也不动地坐着,慢慢把他碰见三个姑娘以及跟她们在一起游玩的经过,从头到尾,仔细叙述了一遍。纳斯尔听了,说道:“我的孩子!你知道吗?那三个姑娘是神的女儿,她们一年一次到这儿来游乐,从早晨高高兴兴地玩到午后,尽欢归去。” “她们住在哪里?” “向上帝起誓,我可不知道她们住在哪里。孩子,别再东想西想了,打起精神来,跟我去见飞鸟,让它们带你回家乡去。” 詹大叫一声,又晕倒在地。 过了好一会儿他慢慢醒转过来,哀泣地说:“老伯伯,我多么希望能跟那几个姑娘再见一面,我不想回家了。即使死在这里,我也不再提挂念父母了。哪怕一年只见我爱慕的人儿一面,我也心甘情愿。” 然后他哭着吟道: “希望幽灵不在有情人中作梗, 也愿上帝别为人类创造爱情。 如果心灵不为爱你遭受灼烧的酷刑, 我也不至于泪如雨下。 爱情的烈焰吞噬着我的躯体, 我日夜祈福心灵平和。 " 詹吟罢,侧身跪下去,边吻老头的脚,边苦苦哀求:“可怜可怜我吧!上帝会善待你的。把我解救出困境吧!上帝会拯救你的。” “孩子,向上帝起誓,我真的不认识那几个姑娘,不知道她们家在何方,既然你爱上了她们中的一个,那就在我这儿继续等待吧。到明年的今天,她们姐妹仍会到这儿来游玩的。 那时,你悄悄藏在花园中的树下,等她们脱下羽衣,进池塘戏水的时候,你趁机把你中意的那个姑娘的羽衣拿走。她们洗完澡,上岸来穿衣服的时候,那个丢掉羽衣的姑娘,会笑容可鞠,好言求你还她的羽衣。如果你把羽衣还给她,那你就达不到目的了,她会穿上羽衣,一去而不复返,从此你休想再见到她了,所以,你必须紧紧挟着羽衣,先不要给她,等我接见百鸟回来,再成全你们的好事,然后帮你带她回你老家去。这件事大概是我可以做得到的。 此外,别的事我就没办法了。 " 詹听了老头纳斯尔的谈话,觉得很满意,就留下来在老头那里又住了一年时间。 那一年,他天天扳着手指头计算时日,算着百鸟朝王的时间。 时间过得飞快,不知不觉已经到了百鸟朝王的日子,老头纳斯尔对他说:“现在我要去接见百鸟,你照我说的去做吧。” “好的,我会照你说的话行事。”詹答应着,等老头走了以后,马上到花园里,悄悄躲在树下。 但是他等了一天,没有等到姑娘们。 他耐心等下去,直到第三天仍然没有等到她们。他失望极了,不停地叹气,哭得昏死过去。他慢慢苏醒过来,一会儿抬头看看天空,一会儿低头看看地面,一会儿看看池塘发呆,一会儿看着池边的空地出神,心情焦躁不安。 正当他十分伤心难过的时候,忽然三只鸽子般的鸟儿飞过来,落在池塘边,向周围看了一会,既没看见人影,也没看见神影,于是她们脱掉身上的羽衣,随即变为三个苗条美丽的姑娘,赤身裸体,婷婷玉立在池塘边,她们细长的脖子洁白如玉。她们一起进入池塘,嘻嘻哈哈地边洗澡边拨弄水花,非常高兴快乐。 詹躲在树下,目不转睛地偷看,隐约听见她们中的大姐说:“姐妹们,我真害怕有人躲在这里偷看我们。” 二妹回答说:“姐姐,这幢宫殿从所罗门大帝时代起,从来就没有人来过。” 三妹笑嘻嘻地说:“我以上帝的名义起誓,二位姐姐尽管放心,如果真有人偷看,他的目的只不过是想要得到我而已。” 于是三姐妹有说有笑,一直向深水里游了过去。 詹控制不了情感,内心狂跳不已,眼看她们越游越远,已经到了池塘中央,他才跳出来,飞快地跑到池塘边,把那个三妹的羽衣拿在手里,然后走到她们面前。 三姐妹转过头看见詹,吃惊不小,吓得直哆嗦,赶忙把身体藏在水中,慢慢游了回去。 她们仔细打量起他来,发现詹圆圆的脸,长得很漂亮,是个很标致的青年人,就问他:“你是谁?你为什么来到这里?为什么拿三妹的衣服?” “请上岸吧,让我把实情告诉你们吧。” “你是干什么的?为什么拿我的衣服?我们姐妹谁也不认识你,你是怎么知道我们的?” “美丽的仙女呀!你快出水来,我会把一切情况告诉你。” “我心爱的人儿哟!请把衣服还给我,让我穿起来,把身体遮住,再到你面前去吧。” “美丽的仙子呀!如果我现在把衣服还你,那简直是为爱情而自尽了,这是不可能的! 因此,我要等鸟王纳斯尔回来,才给你衣服。 " “不给我衣服,你退到后边躲起来,让我的两位姐姐上岸去穿衣服,然后让她俩给我一样东西遮住身体。” “我知道了,照你说的做。”詹果然离开她们,到大厅里去了。 三姐妹这才一起上岸穿衣服,大姐拿她自己的一件薄衬衫给三妹暂时遮身。 三妹名叫佘睦瑟,她披着这件衬衫,清秀飘逸,面如桃花,像十五的月儿般美丽,又像一只活泼聪明的小羚羊,迈着轻盈的步伐,轻快地来到大厅,见詹坐在宝座上,就向他问好,说道: “小伙子啊,你把你自己和我都给害了。好吧,谈谈你的情况,让我们明白这中间到底发生了什么事。” 詹不说话,只伤心地哭泣着,衣襟被泪水打湿了。 佘睦瑟知道他爱自己,就主动地靠近他,握着他的手,让他坐在自己身边,拿衣袖替他拂泪,说:“小伙子,别哭了,快说你的事情吧。” 詹果然把他所经历的一切,从头到尾,向她仔仔细细说了一遍。佘睦瑟听了,叹了一口气道:“我的主人啊!你既然深爱着我,那请把衣服还给我,我穿好以后,跟姐姐们一道回家去,把你对我的痴情给我爸爸妈妈说,然后回来,再跟着你回你的家乡去。” 詹悲伤地大哭说:“你想害死我呀,难道上帝允许你这种恶行吗?” “我的主人哟!我怎么可能害你呢?” “因为要是把衣服还给你,你穿上它,就会远走高飞,那样我会活活气死。” 佘睦瑟和两个姐姐听了詹的回答,禁不住笑了起来。随后她劝他说:“你放心好了,快快乐乐地过日子吧!我一定做你的妻子。”她说着把詹搂在怀中,热烈地拥吻他,别提多亲热了。过了好一会她才松手,同他一起坐在宝座上。 这时候,佘睦瑟的大姐站了起来,飞快地跑到花园里,从树上摘些水果,从花坛里采一束芬芳的花儿,摆在詹和佘睦瑟面前。于是三姐妹和詹坐成圆圈玩耍、嬉戏着,快乐得如同饮了醇香美酒。在佘睦瑟眼中,詹更加英俊漂亮了,她脱口说道: “凭上帝的名义起誓,亲爱的,我对你一见钟情,一定永远陪伴在你左右。” 詹听了佘睦瑟的话,一下子感到非常高兴,仿佛自己是天底下最快乐的人,喜笑颜开。 她们正玩得兴致勃勃的时候,老头纳斯尔接见百鸟赶回来了。她们站起来迎接、问候他,吻他的手。他带着笑容表示欢迎她们,说:“坐吧,坐吧!”接着他对佘睦瑟说:“这个小伙子非常爱你,我以上帝的名义对你起誓,你应该敬慕他,跟他结婚,因为他是卡彼勒王国的王子,统治着广阔的地域呢。” “是的,服从您的命令。”佘睦瑟十分恭敬地站在老头面前,吻他的手,表示愿意听取他的建议。 “如果你没有撒谎,就该指着上帝对我起誓,保证一辈子都对他诚实。”
